Chapter 204

There was a lot of people in the coffee room. There were more than 20 people standing in line beside the bar. They were talking about how wonderful the "King's speech" was and how wonderful Colin Firth's performance was

However, most people choose to take it out. The triliuride Film Festival is so busy that no one is willing to waste their time sitting around in the coffee house, hoping to be able to run back and forth between cinemas 24 hours a day. So, there are still seats left around, not full.

"Latte, and a black forest, thank you." The fat man with curly hair returned the menu to the waiter, and then he saw blue Li's bright eyes, without any special look or special examination. It was like a clear spring, but the dark color made people want to explore.

He grew up in orange town next to Los Angeles, a typical middle-class community. All the residents are lawyers, judges, doctors, fund managers, government officials and other elites. Under his influence, he has seen more so-called high-level and elites. His condescending pride and conceit is really disgusting, This is the reason why he escaped from orange Town, got rid of all the shackles, and pursued his film dream wholeheartedly.

In front of blue Li, let him not from some curiosity. He could feel the estrangement hidden under the gentlemanly demeanor of Lan Li, but he would not feel offended, let alone the arrogance and arrogance of being superior to others. This kind of gentle but tough, gentle but sharp temperament made people feel a little good.

So, with a big smile, he took the initiative to extend his right hand. "Look at my memory, I still forget to introduce myself, Drake doremus. I'm sorry to disturb your viewing plan today. "

After learning that curly fat man is the director and has sent out an invitation to lanli for cooperation, Rooney leaves. She is going to see "127 Hours", a work in which her sister has not been able to watch so far. In the end, only two of them came to the coffee shop and found a place to sit down and talk.

"Langley hall." Langley took the other person's right hand and said quietly, "the charm of trilliureid is that it's all about movies. Now, too. " In my mind is a series of question marks: Drake doremus? Who?

Lanli dare not say that he knows all the film works like the palm of his hand. In the vast history of film, there are more than thousands of films, and the works without name are like stars. However, after entering the millennium, lanli saw the most and the most complete works, and almost all those works that could not be named had been seen. However, Drake doremus, the name of the director, has no impression on him.

What does that mean? Does that mean Drake is not worth making friends with? Is his work of unknown origin? Maybe it's just an independent work that nobody cares about? Should he turn and leave now?

No, Langley chose to sit where he was. As he said, this is trilliureid. Even if Drake is a nobody, it's also a harvest to make friends with a film lover. What's more, Langley is not arrogant to think that he knows all the films after the 21st century like the back of his hand, which is too arrogant.

"I like your answer." Drake said with a smile that the attitude of Langley's ease of advance and retreat once again strengthened Drake's inner thoughts. "In fact, I'm preparing for my third film. At present, the preliminary work of the film has been completed and can be put into shooting at any time, but the problem is that I haven't found my favorite actor."

Drake is telling the truth, for the new hero, he has been around for nearly three months, still did not find the right person.

For low-cost independent films, any link is difficult. The actors he likes may ask too much, or they are not satisfied with the script; The actors he can find may not be in line with the role set in his mind. Looking for the right actors is like looking for a needle in a haystack. No one knows when he will get the treasure.

So, most of the time, independent directors have their own fixed CASS. They may be friends they know well in life. More likely, after a cooperation, both sides find that the cooperation is pleasant, so the next time they make a film, they will naturally find each other again.

Drake believes that Langley can't understand this better, because he has just finished shooting "buried alive", which is also a small cost independent work.

Sure enough, Lan Li chuckled, "I hope you're not too demanding."

Drake also showed a smile, "I really ask too much, until now." In silence, he praised Lan Li. Drake pushed the cup forward and leaned forward slightly. "I wonder if you've seen Richard Linklater's' before sunrise 'and' before sunset '

"Of course." Blue Li thought of last night and Rooney's joke, can't help but smile“ Are you going to make a love movie like this? "

"Yes, it is not." Drake sold a pass, his eyes gliding a little complacency, "I want to tell a story, two people from meet to meet and then fall in love, just like two groups of flame in general crazy fall in love with each other, regardless of everything, moth to fire, so that they lose their sense. But when they are in love, they are forced to live in two places because of force majeure. The hot love is pouring a bucket of cold water on them, and they are facing the test of long-distance love. So, where will this relationship finally go

Drake's story awakens Langley's memory. He thinks of a movie that tells such a story - "crazy love".

This movie tells the story of two college students, Anna and Jacob, falling in love. It's like going crazy and forgetting herself, so that Anna ignores her visa problem - she's an international student from Britain, and her visa expires after graduation, but she doesn't leave the United States within the deadline. Later, because of her friend's wedding, she had to go back to England. When she came back again, she suddenly found that she was refused entry by the customs. This love began to undergo a severe test.

This is one of Langley's favorite love movies.

For many people, the movie is about the pain and suffering of long-distance love, but Langley has a different view. He believes that "crazy love" is really about the original face of love, the most real face - from the moment of meeting, the chemical reaction of hormones is like volcanic eruption, earth shaking, falling in love; Madness and addiction in the period of love destroy all reason. Everything is so crazy, just like the tornado meeting; Then, they met with bumps, difficulties and struggles, and the temperature of love began to drop gradually. As a result, love began to become a part of life, spending little by little in daily trifles, and they could no longer find the original appearance.

As Drake said just now, "crazy love" is actually like a trilogy of "before sunrise", "before sunset" and "before midnight", which shows the complete original appearance of love, from fermentation to extinction, from brewing to dissipation, real and cruel, beautiful and heartbroken; But "crazy love" is different from Richard linklet's trilogy. It discusses the essence of love - is it a collision of passion or a long time together?

In daily life, love can not always maintain a Baidu boiling point, always meet the peak and trough, but at the critical moment, the object of their deep love is not around, happiness and sadness, happiness and sadness, joy and frustration can not be shared together, so is there a need for love? Especially when the two people who love each other are forced to separate from each other, the shackles of time and space make them always miss each other, so will each other gradually fade out of each other's life? At this moment, how should love go?

Drake didn't give the answer directly in the movie, leaving an open ending. Every audience will have their own ideas. That's why Langley likes the film so much.

Optimists will think that they have overcome all kinds of difficulties and dangers and come together in the end; Pessimists will think that the passage of time eventually changed two people, never go back to the past.

Langley is the latter.

"Crazy love" is a very small film, because it is too real, too cruel, almost unbearable; At the same time, it's too delicate and beautiful. Everyone who really loves can find their own shadow in the film. Therefore, the box office performance of the film is not satisfactory, and the publicity effect is mediocre. However, the film has been unanimously recognized by the film critics and won the grand jury award of Sundance Film Festival.

Unfortunately, the publicity and distribution was not enough in the award season. In the same year, the awesome attack of the two works of "artist" and "midnight Paris" was encountered, and finally no gains could be made during the awards season, even without bubbles. It's really rare - you know, before "crazy love," the winner of the Sundance jury award had received three consecutive Oscar nominations and two consecutive best picture nominations.

Even so, it still does not affect lanli's love for "crazy love".

However, Langley didn't know that the director of "crazy love" was Drake doremus - or more accurately, he had checked Drake's information, but it's a pity that Drake's later works can't be compared with "crazy love", including the "same ethnic group" in 2015, with poor quality, so Langley gradually forgot the director, So that just heard the name, there was no response.

"Crazy love" is so outstanding because it is adapted from the director's own story - the true story of him and his wife. Every detail and every emotion in the film is so empathetic. In the movie, Anna and Jacob finally get together, hugging each other with scars; In real life, Drake and his wife divorced in 2008.
