"Can't wait, it's really cold outside. ”

Without much thought at all, he hurriedly threw down a sentence, Joel pushed the door and entered the café in a hurry, sure enough, it was Joel's usual style, Ethan, who was still standing in place, had long been accustomed to it, and at this time he could only shake his head helplessly, and followed the footsteps into the café.

Ding Lingdang.

The wind chimes rang softly at the door, and the cold and snowflakes rolled up a small whirlwind, stirring up a biting chill in the wind chimes, and then it was blocked out with the re-closing of the door, and the heating in the room suddenly appeared on the lenses of Joel and Ethan's glasses, and the whole world fell into a lemon yellow haze.

Joel expertly took off his glasses and wiped the lenses with the corners of his shirt to make his vision clear again, while Ethan walked to the self-service kiosk next to him, found a tissue, carefully wiped the lenses clean, looked around, and then took a step towards where Joel and Lan Li were.

"So, is it public now?" Joel stood beside the coffee table with his hands crossed in front of him, looking like a black-clad bodyguard - but the grinning expression on his face and the sloppy hair on his head did not look so professional, "Young people are really different now." ”

In the face of Joel's teasing, Lan Li and Rooney are not shy and restrained personalities, and they raised their heads to meet their eyes generously, without the slightest embarrassment and embarrassment as expected.

Rooney put on a serious look, "I thought you and Francis were used to this way of life. ”

Francis McDormand, Joel Cohen's wife, the two got married in 1984 because of the Coen brothers' debut film "Blood Labyrinth", and the relationship lasted for nearly two decades, and the relationship lasted for nearly two decades, and later, the Coen brothers tailored "Ice Storm" for Francis, which also made the latter win the Oscar-winning actress, and in 2017, Francis won the second film queen with a superb performance of "Three Billboards".

Joel and Francis are usually low-key, but when they occasionally appear in public, they don't squirm, but appear in front of everyone with a downright and generous appearance. will not deliberately show affection, nor will it deliberately dodge the camera, and the natural and unpretentious posture can be regarded as a clear stream in Hollywood.

Joel's eyes lit up, "Compare me to Francis, and your relationship has reached this point?"

I thought that Rooney would be embarrassed, but I didn't expect that Rooney showed a shallow smile, "If not, what we just did was not appropriate, right?"

Joel didn't panic either, and nodded solemnly, "I don't think it's appropriate either." In public, you still have to be concerned about other singles. You guys didn't take into account the thoughts of the rest of the audience at all. ”

At this time, Ethan had already walked over, Lan Li and Ethan exchanged glances, which was considered to be a greeting, and then Lan Li said to Joel, "I thought that there were no paparazzi in Park City; I have many, many things to learn in Hollywood. ”

The subtext is, Joel equals the paparazzi?

With a simple sentence, Joel suddenly died down, raised his right hand, and nodded in the air depressed and helplessly, "I really have no conscience to treat me as a paparazzi." Are we worried about you? If someone else takes a picture and uploads it to a social networking platform, the next period of time will be enough to cause you a headache with the news. ”

"It's just you, not us. Ethan fell into the well, "Lan Li and Rooney are both smart people who act in their own way, so why worry about them? I think you are indeed a very paparazzi occasionally." ”

Looking at Joel's dumbfounded face, all three of them chuckled in low voices.

Joel shook his head in protest, but did not continue to dwell on the issue, his gaze quickly moved back and forth between Lan Li and Rooney for a moment, and then sat down next to Lan Li.

Joel, who usually seems to be a big horn, still shows his attention to some details, and this style can also be found in his works - obviously, he has always been sloppy and casual, not suitable for sitting next to a lady, and Ethan, a gentleman and gentleman, is a better choice.

Ethan then cast an inquiring glance at Rooney, politely motioned, and sat down beside her after getting Rooney's permission.

"How's it going, is everything okay in Park City?" Because of the ridicule just now, they directly skipped the greeting session, and Ethan only now has a chance to express his concern, "I also mentioned to Robert before, maybe we shouldn't be too urgent this year, you need more time to rest and adjust, anyway, Sundance is always here, if you miss this year, there will be next year, we know how much you care about independent films, and that's enough." ”

First Paul Walker's accident, then the long filming of "Interstellar", coupled with the boiling negative public opinion of this year's awards season, Lan Li has always stood on the cusp of the storm, physically and mentally exhausted. In such a situation, neither Robert Redford nor the Coen brothers put further pressure on Lan Li, but prepared for Lan Li's absence.

You don't need too many greetings, you can feel the deep concern in the words.

"I'm fine, and everything is fine with Park City. Lan Li replied simply and clearly, "Even the blizzard here is good. Sensing Ethan and Joel's puzzled eyes, Lan Li added, "Because of the blizzard, the paparazzi have completely lost their relationship here, and only professional media reporters have made a special trip to come, which is a good thing." ”

Joel laughed so happily that he couldn't help but beat his hands before realizing that it was a coffee house, and he had to turn his head to apologize to the other customers around him.

Turning around, Joel rubbed his cheeks and calmed down his bright smile, "What about Christopher? I know his work habits, the most annoying thing is to be accidentally interrupted the rhythm, whether it is filming or acting, this is very annoying, I have heard before, he even forbids the use of mobile phones in the crew, and now in Hollywood, it is estimated that he is the only director who does not have a mobile phone." Even Robert changed his smartphone. ”

"Ha, it seems that the whole of Hollywood has a grudge against Chris, not just the studios. Lan Li laughed heartily, because without a mobile phone, Christopher's contact and communication became very difficult, if Christopher is a "natural human" living in remote towns and even deep mountains and forests, then there is no problem, but Christopher is a top director in Hollywood, which is easy to cause all kinds of inconveniences.

"But...... Do not worry. The crew has officially finished, and Chris can now concentrate on post-production, so there are no complaints or complaints. ”

The post-production filming of "Interstellar" went much smoother than expected, and Lan Li's excellent performance became the backbone of the entire crew, and in less than three weeks, all the filming was completed. It was originally the heaviest and most difficult stage, but the filming process was the smoothest and fastest.

As Lan Li said, now the entire production team of "Interstellar" is in full swing in post-production.

Originally, Warner Bros. hoped that this work could catch up with this year's summer file, but now it seems that the schedule is no longer suitable, after internal discussion and adjustment, if nothing else, "Interstellar" will land on the Thanksgiving schedule, looking forward to setting off a box office storm in the holiday file, especially "Gravity" Jewel is ahead, Warner Bros. also has great expectations.

"Whew, that's good news. Joel playfully wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, "Does that mean you can stay here longer this year, Sundance?"

"This is my plan. Lan Li nodded in affirmation, if he could contribute to independent film and art creation, Lan Li would naturally give up, not to mention, it could also assist Lan Li's grand plan, he had no reason to refuse.

Joel immediately got to his feet, swaying back and forth, expressing his excitement and anticipation.

A smile also appeared on Ethan's face, "There are still three days left before the premiere of 'Burst Drummer', and now the whole of Park City can't wait to start discussing this production, and Robert told reporters yesterday that it seems that there has never been a scene like this in the history of Sundance, and this year's movie-going has reached a record high, which is really jealous." ”

In the entire North American market, the Blue Gift is now a well-deserved top deal in terms of popularity and popularity, even if Marvel's stars are slightly inferior, and the Sundance Film Festival, which is the mecca of independent films, is even more so.

There is no need for too much publicity and rendering, just to move out the name of "Blue Rite-Hall", Sundance official said that Blue Rite will not only bring the new work "Burst Drummer" to attend, but also participate in the retrospective of the Coen brothers' works, personally host one of the days of screening, and have a close exchange with the audience.

That's enough.

So far, the Sundance Film Festival has only been open for three days, and the number of moviegoers in the same period has reached a record high, and it is nearly 30 percentage points higher, which is a welcome situation for any film festival.

Lan Li was not modest, but spread his hands and said calmly, "That's why you invited me here, isn't it?"

"Haha, yes, yes, we have no way to refute it. Joel nodded in agreement.

Lan Li's self-confidence and pride are always like this, with a dignified calmness, not showing off or arrogance, but bursting out from the inside out, without any aggression, but openly sticking to his position - he will not be humble if it belongs to his praise, and he will not ask for glory that does not belong to him.

Those who like it are especially fond of it, and those who hate it are doubly hated.

Joel falls into the former.
