"Len Li, you know you are a bastard, right?"
Arthur laughed dumbly and spit out quietly. It was not a tone of reproach, but a faint sigh. The sadness and sighs revealed between the lines made the gurgling sound of the slowly flowing time clear, but Arthur and Lan Li Sitting face-to-face like this, I felt the kind of comfort and warmth that belonged to the family like never before, just like...like the scene when Lan Li and Edith get along.
If Edith said so, Lanly would reply "yes" frankly, but now facing Arthur, the thoughts of making complaints and molesting are always surging.
So Lan Li shrugged slightly and replied solemnly, "I think we are accustomed to communicating with reason instead of spiritual chicken soup."
The answer just now is really cold and direct, without feeling too much temperature, "If you like it, I can pretend to be a priest, listen to your confession, and tell you that no matter what choice you make, God will love you."
Arthur's smile just stopped at the corner of his mouth, looking at Lan Li with an expression of indescribability. The resentful eyes made Lan Li's eyebrows rise slightly, and the triumph and satisfaction after the prank succeeded quietly The eyes were filled, but Lan Li did not continue to torture Arthur.
After a short pause, the smile at the corner of his mouth converged. Lan Li pondered his own words and said seriously, "Every one of us is making choices all the time. Some choices are smaller and some are larger. But these choices are the same, there is no so-called right or wrong, because time can't go back, and the decision can't be regretted. What we need to do is, after choosing, then go on unswervingly."
"Have you ever thought, if I didn't succeed, I just rolled off Broadway or TV screens, became a little supporting role or extra actor that no one knew, and finally returned to London in a desperate manner, then what would happen? I really thought about it."
"I'm also afraid. But this kind of fear still can't stop my belief in fulfilling my dream, so I did it. Life is always like this. We are afraid of the unknown. Some unknowns can really change the world. , But some unknowns are not worth mentioning. The only certainty is that before we try, the unknown will always be the unknown."
"I don't know what your fear is, and I don't know how terrible it is. But if you ask my opinion, the only thing I can say is that fear and regret will only stop us and continue to torment. Myself."
Not only Arthur, not just Renly, in fact, Heather, Edith, Elf, George and Elizabeth, as well as everyone in life. Everyone is taking on the life they choose to live. Some people complain and regret not making it in the first place, while others are resolute and move forward courageously.
The so-called character determines fate, not because it can urge better and more correct choices, but because after making a choice, it can determine one's attitude towards life.
"Charlie, I am not your answer." Lan Li said softly, "only you know the answer."
Charlie, this is Arthur's middle name. He hadn't heard Lan Li call himself that for a long time, and he felt a little strange.
Arthur chewed the words carefully. Those truths are not difficult. Everyone knows the so-called chicken soup for the soul, but from Lan Li's mouth, the meaning and weight seem to be different.
He hates chatting with Lan Li, because Lan Li is always too sharp and thorough. He often tears the mask ruthlessly and hits the nail on the head; but he also likes to chat with Lan Li, because Lan Li always knows what he should say Something, seemingly plain words can always be just right.
"Sebastian, everyone knows the truth, but not everyone can do it." Arthur showed a wry smile.
Lan Li nodded in affirmation. In fact, how could he not be like this in his own previous life? Everyone has their own weaknesses and shackles. Bystanders always speak easily and lightly. Only the authorities know how difficult everything is. "So you asked me for help, not Elf."
As Lan Li just said, Arthur had already made a choice deep in his heart.
Arthur didn't speak, the appetizer was already served, he grabbed the knife and fork and started to enjoy his salad.
Lan Li didn't continue to say anything, but also grabbed the knife and fork and began to enjoy his French snails.
There is almost no sound on the tabletop, I can only vaguely catch the sound of the knife and fork accidentally touching the disk, but it is only a faint trace. The quietness seems a little depressing, but it also outlines the difficulty. The elegance of speech, everything is a habit developed after years of training.
After the appetizer is finished and before the staple food is served, there is a little gap. This is the time reserved for the guests to chat and prepare for the guests. This is why a regular meal must start from two hours or even four. For reasons over hours, conversation is not allowed during eating, and the time between a dish and a dish is dedicated to conversation.
"When to go to Venice?" Arthur said again, but it was no longer the sad topic just now. In just a short period of silence for the appetizer, Arthur seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of life in his mind.
"Next week." Lan Li quietly retreated again, returning to where they belonged to the original place-a little strange, a little alienated, but in the final analysis, they were still more familiar than strangers.
Arthur raised his chin and showed a look of sudden realization, "I heard the news before that this time your work will serve as the opening film, but you will not participate in the main competition unit. Therefore, you need to arrive in Venice in advance. ?"
Lan Li nodded in affirmation, and simply explained, "Venice still wants us to participate in the main competition, but Warner Bros. disagrees. They are worried about affecting the box office."
There seems to be a general consensus between the industry and the outside world. The three major film festivals in Berlin, Cannes and Venice are after all the stage for the display of works of art. Even Cannes, which has the strongest commercial atmosphere, is no exception. The works that enter the main competition section have received the art director. With the recognition of the selection committee, if you can win an award, it will definitely enter the award season system immediately.
All of this seems to have gradually become a convention. It is exactly the opposite of commercial movies.
Take "The Great Gatsby" as an example. This work is also produced and distributed by Warner Bros. They position the film as an artistic commercial film. "Art" is the prefix of the adjective, and "commercial" is the subject. In other words, Warner Bros. still has great expectations for the movie box office.
As a result, "The Great Gatsby" landed at the Cannes Film Festival as the opening film, unveiling the big curtain of this year's film festival, but the film did not enter the main competition unit, drawing a clear line from art films.
For one thing, Warner Bros. can use the film festival platform, the exposure rate is guaranteed, to promote the work, good word-of-mouth feedback will also help the follow-up promotion work; secondly, the film will not fall into the art of art, but can bring Give the audience an illusion of "quality assurance" and further create space for the box office.
In fact, with the commercialization of the film market, the three major European film festivals now often make compromises and open with artistic commercial films to create popularity and attract attention, even the Berlin Film Festival is no exception.
At the beginning of this year, Berlin chose "The Grand Master" as the opening film-but did not participate in the main competition unit; while Cannes was even more exaggerated. In order to create a topic, even without considering the quality of the work, it often selected big-name actors or big-name directors. The blockbuster serves as the opening film-anyway, it does not participate in the main competition unit, just to create a topic.
Of course, although there are not many works that serve as the opening film and the main competition unit at the same time, they still exist objectively. For example, at the 2018 Venice Film Festival, Alfonso Cuarón's new work "Rome" was selected as the opening film, but it was also the most important entry in the main competition unit.
This time, "Gravity~www.novelhall.com~ Warner Bros. is positioned as a commercial film, but the artistic temperament of Alfonso and Renly is the greatest guarantee for the quality of the film. After missing Cannes, Warner Bros. The elections were sent to Venice, Toronto, and finally New York. Three consecutive film festivals were the groundwork, accumulating word of mouth step by step and preparing for the detonation of the box office.
Therefore, although the new chairman of the Venice Film Festival Alberto Barbera did his best to extend the invitation, he even went to the United States in person to have face-to-face conversations and show sincerity, hoping to persuade the relevant senior officials of Warner Bros. to let " "Gravity" enters the main competition unit.
The reason is very simple. Egot’s blue ceremony has just been realized, and there are already Berlin and Cannes actors in hand. If “gravity” enters the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival, then there is also a possibility of Lanly’s actor grand slam. , Is bound to detonate the attention of all media, which is self-evident for Venice, which has just undergone a change of dynasty.
However, Warner Bros. still had no leeway to refuse.
They don't care whether Lanly can complete the actor's Grand Slam, and they don't care about the difficulties faced by the Venice Film Festival. The only thing they care about is whether the film can win the box office.
Especially after the new official Kevin Tsujihara took office, he is now in a period of turmoil and chaos. He needs to replace all key positions with his own direct line and complete the notice from top to bottom, so he is even more reluctant to make concessions.
As a result, things have formed the current situation.
Arthur suddenly mentioned the Venice Film Festival, Lan Li faintly captured some details, but Arthur did not speak, and Lan Li did not take the initiative to pierce it. Some things have some decisions, after all, you still need to take the last step yourself.
