Outside the car window, the lush and dense forest slowly looks out along the road, and the large natural scenery shows a completely different appearance from the city, little by little, except for those yellow-brown, dark black, In addition to the bright red and azure blue, the emerald green, turquoise, dark green, blue green, light green, grass green, and other complex greens are crisscrossed in layers, spreading from the roadside to the horizon far away.

Those who are familiar with Lan Li know that he is very, very bad at driving vehicles, in addition to road idiots, his control of the steering wheel and accelerator is always not reassuring, it seems that he is born with no fate with machinery, it is estimated that all talents are divided by musicality and acting skills, but this does not mean that Lan Li can't drive, it's just that there are not so many opportunities to sit behind the steering wheel, and he can still serve as a driver when needed.

Especially off the city limits.

In the crowded spaces of the city's chessboard streets, Lan Li's driving skills are indeed worrying, and he is also self-aware, often not in the driver's seat, but in the open field of the outdoor flat river, Lan Li's ability is more than enough - as the world's most famous country on wheels, the United States road trip is a major feature, and it has the best roads for beginners in the world, and the difficulty is low.

So, Lan Li drove out of New Orleans on his own, heading north in the direction of Cincinnati.

He needed a little respite, before officially returning to Europe. According to the plan, after the completion of "Jurassic World", he will go to Venice non-stop to carry out a series of work, then return to North America, arrive in Toronto to cooperate with the publicity, and then immediately go to London.

For the next period of time, he needs to pick himself up and get into the fight. This is unfamiliar to Lan Li. In his previous life, he had avoided head-on conflict and devoted himself to the world of acting, even with the sporadic involvement of Sisyphus Films, but this time, he would take the initiative and attack with all his might, and truly throw himself into the battlefield from which he had tried his best to escape.

What's more, this will not be a war that can end in a short period of time, after all, it is his parents, and he can't just cut them in two, and then completely banish them, just like this, and declare the matter sealed forever - the reason why the bonds of the original family are complicated is because the bonds of morality and morality/reason have never been so simple.

It's a war that's so long that it may never even end, and he needs to pick himself up and give it his all.

Before the war officially began, he needed to relax, a little alone time, a little road trip, a little free space, and he would be able to regain his inner peace again, even if it was only for two days and one night.

The 12-hour drive from New Orleans to Cincinnati at a regular pace is no easy journey.

Fortunately, Lan Li was not in a hurry, he was ready to relax, so he stopped and stopped, about an hour or two hours of driving, and stopped to rest for a while, or accidentally saw the wonderful scenery, then also pulled over to breathe in the natural air, as if walking freely, and finally arrived in Cincinnati It was already late at night, close to midnight, and the whole process took nearly seventeen hours.

Nathan helped Lan Li book a hotel room in advance, and Lan Li successfully found the location of the hotel - as for the fact that after entering the city, he went around and around several times, and it took 70 minutes to arrive in 15 minutes, so there is no need to elaborate on it one by one.

After a moment of relaxation in the bath, Lan Li took the rare initiative to drink a glass of whiskey - according to his habit, he avoided drinking as much as possible, rarely and rarely took the initiative to consume alcohol, but tonight, in the short gap between filming and shooting, he allowed himself to relax.

It's also a bit ridiculous to say that it has been a few weeks since Philip came to New Orleans, but Lan Li has never completely released his emotions, but has suppressed all his emotions and devoted himself to the filming without affecting the filming schedule, and only now has he washed away all the bitterness with a glass of whiskey.

After drinking a glass of whiskey, Lan Li fell into a deep sleep, and the fatigue of the long journey exploded, and he slept dreamless until dawn.

The bright sun of Cincinnati is completely devoid of the heat and heat of Cincinnati, but the breeze from the Great Lakes makes the tail of summer cool, and the steps during the holiday also add a little comfort, a little happiness can be satisfied, and life can always find the key to happiness.

Although Nathan inquired about the situation in advance, it still took nearly 90 minutes for Lan Li to find the filming site of "Carol".

Lan Li was not worried about time, what he needed to worry about was his gas tank - he didn't know how the fuel tank was consumed so much, and he couldn't figure it out, which forced him to make a special trip to the gas station before arriving at his destination.

I came to Cincinnati this time, on the one hand, for the alone time of the road trip, and on the other hand, to come to the crew to visit the class.

Rooney has visited Lan Li's crew many times, but Lan Li has always made mistakes and has never visited Rooney so far - of course, it has only been less than a year since the two people really confirmed their relationship, and the filming schedule is always staggered, which is not unusual, so now that the opportunity has appeared, Lan Li has seized it.

The "Jurassic World" crew in New Orleans was a little different, and the "Carroll" crew chose Cincinnati more because there are still many buildings left over from the '30s and 40s, and with a little renovation, they were able to recreate the urban and suburban scenes of New York in the 50s.

However, both crews chose to combine live action with studio shooting to present the world image constructed by the script as realistically as possible. It's just that "Jurassic World" creates space for computer special effects as much as possible, while "Carroll" is as close as possible to the reality of the times, and the whole direction of development is different.

When Lan Li arrived at the destination according to the address, he saw the small villa in front of him.

This is a suburb on the edge of the city, not a rural area, just like Long Island is to New York, a little away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but not completely away from the bustle and bustle of the city, and enjoy yourself in a corner. In Asia, the richer the more people tend to move towards the urban center, while in the United States, the richer the closer they move towards the periphery of the city, and in addition to cultural, economic, and historical differences, the most important thing is the difference in life patterns due to values.

The "Carol" crew perfectly restored the living environment of the New York elite in the fifties of the last century in the suburbs of Cincinnati, looking at the small gardens and small villas in front of them, the adjustment of those details made Cincinnati also exude a strong New York flavor, and these small details that are difficult for the audience to notice will often become an important part of the film's texture.

Although there is no style in the North American continent in the first place, it is much easier to copy and paste the texture of different cities here than the very different styles in Europe, but real insiders can still see the difference in details, and the art direction of the "Carol" crew is worthy of recognition.

Just like the details of an actor's performance, those parts that cannot be seen are often the embodiment of the depth and breadth of the whole film, and excellent works can always show a deep foundation in these parts. In other words, never ignore the strength of the behind-the-scenes team of the crew, and the value of a truly top-notch excellent team will definitely not be inferior to that of an actor or a director.

Slowly pulling over the car, Lan Li did not recklessly break into the crew, but patiently looked for the staff responsible for security maintenance around the set to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding......s;

Before Lan Li's words were finished, he saw the other party's stunned and overwhelmed face, and the slightly open mouth seemed to be about to dislocate his jaw, Lan Li was worried that if he didn't stop, there might be a tragedy at the scene, so he had to temporarily stop his words.

"Uh, do you need help?" asked Lan Li in a friendly manner.

Then the short black man in front of him nodded and then shook his head, he didn't seem to know what he was doing, and finally held back a sentence, "...... I know you! I really know you! you! you are!" but stammered a lot, but still didn't say a single reason.

"Lan Li. Lan Li introduced himself in a friendly manner.

The short man nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, that's what I said, yes, yes, Lan Li." I know you, God, I really know you, I'm not lying, whoa, you really showed up in Cincinnati? I mean, I saw you in the cinema a while ago on an interstellar trip, and now I see you in front of me, it's kind of incredible, I know your name, of course I do. ”

Lan Li spread her hands, "I guess it's not a dream. ”

"Jesus Christ!" Seeing that the other party was about to scream, "I'll notify ...... now"

"Wait, wait!" Lan Li stopped the other party in time, "It's a surprise, I want to surprise them." You can confirm if the crew is convenient now, I will go in and watch, and then wait for the end of the filming to surprise them. ”
