"So many people want to ask questions?" Joe was a little flustered, too.
This kind of scene is not uncommon in Sundance. Every audience actively participates in the film discussion. Sometimes, the discussion after the film screening is more interesting than the film itself; It's just that it seems a little too much today. Joe even doubts that everyone present raised their hands.
Joe scanned and found that he couldn't pick it out at all, because his eyes were full of arms and the people behind couldn't see it at all, so he simply handed the task to the crew members, "Drake, you can pick an audience to ask." Now it's Drake's turn to be silly. Joe added, "just pick a seat number."
This, the whole audience began to roar up, we do not know their seat number, have bowed their heads and began to check their seat number, "we are a few rows ah?"“ What's the number here? "
Drake looks at the noise in front of him and laughs in silence. He is still a little flustered. This is his second year in a row in Sundance. However, last year's work "fool" has hardly caused any response, and even there are not many accusations, so he is quietly submerged in the torrent of independent movies. Now, happiness comes so suddenly and eagerly that he doesn't seem ready.
"Well, I was going to call for seats on my birthday, but my birthday is in March." Drake nervously wiped the sweat from his palms, and his eyes fell on the third row.
After all, Sundance is a film festival. Journalists are an indispensable part. The third and fourth rows are all journalists.
"I think the first question is for the audience. Thank you for your support." Drake said in an astringent way. He scratched his head in a simple and honest way. The instant noodles on the other side looked a little happy. However, such a sentence caused all the audience to roar and cheer one after another. "Well, I'll use lanli's birthday. Lanli's birthday is November..."
"Ah, ah There was a sudden scream at the scene, which interrupted Drake's words like thunder on the ground, but then the scream realized his recklessness and immediately recovered. This little accident made the audience laugh.
Drake couldn't help smiling. "Lanli's birthday is November 20. So, let's take 20 seats in 11 rows, and let the audience have the first chance to ask questions. "
All the people's eyes were projected towards the rear. Everyone was looking for twenty seats in eleven rows, but no one stood up, and no one even knew where the eleventh row was.
William realized that a lot of eyes were projected. He looked left and right, and then someone behind him patted him on the shoulder. "You're in row 11." William nodded and looked at his seat number, number 19. He choked his wrist and sighed with disappointment, but then he responded, "number 20!"
"Hope, the twentieth!"
William shakes hope hard. Hope is stunned. Before her brain turns around, Tessa and William help her stand up straight and raise her right hand. In an instant, the whole audience's eyes are projected, and the voice of the host can still be heard in her ear, "staff, please give the microphone to this... Er, girl, OK?"
Hope looked around in a daze, not knowing what was going on. Then he felt that something had been put in his hand, and the fragmented voice in his ear was echoing, "it's you", "asking questions", "thinking"... Words were echoing, but they couldn't make complete sentences. She looked at Tessa and then at William, But still no answer, the line of sight finally looked to the front, fell on Lan Li's body.
Drake picked up the phone. "Girl, who do you want to ask?"
"Young master." Hope subconsciously said, and then Leng Leng, "I mean, Langley."
There was another loud scream at the scene. Drake handed the microphone to lanli with a smile. Even Jennifer, felicity and Charley, who were standing beside him, followed suit, clapping one after another to bring the atmosphere back to life.
Hope's eyes were fixed on lanli, and then he saw that he took the microphone and a bright smile appeared on his face. "What's the matter with you, please?"
The magnetic voice was slowly ringing in her ears. As soon as hope opened her mouth, her tears broke down completely. Because she was too excited, her whole body began to tremble. She breathed, but found that her tears could not stop. At this moment, the emotion that she thought had been calmed down collapsed again, like an avalanche.
There was applause, cheering for hope, and lanli's voice rang again, "don't worry, take your time. We have enough time. "
Hope covered her mouth, she didn't know what was going on, but her emotion was so turbulent.
Looking at Lan Li in front of her, she thought of Jacob's gentle and focused eyes, as if Anna was the only one in the world; It also reminds me of the lightness and enjoyment of Langley's performance of "Ophelia" on the street. The charm of music has been brought into full play... Reality and illusion completely blur the boundary at this moment.
She never knew that she would be so out of control, and it was because of an actor, a distant actor. But, she really likes him, really, really. Tears completely unable to help themselves, sobbing, as if lost the world, as if won the world.
"Ah, ah The scream burst in her ears. From far to near, hope bent down and cried. Then she heard the sound of the wave. Looking up, she saw that William, Graham and others all stepped back, and Langley was standing beside her.
Lanli, standing by her side.
Hope was stunned. He looked up at Lan Li in disbelief. His dark brown eyes were full of stars, bright and bright.
Then lanli politely hugged her, and the whole world began to shake. The screams and shouts almost pierced her eardrum. But when lanli's arms surrounded her, the world suddenly quieted down. There was no sound at all. It was as quiet as a warm harbor, with dry wood fragrance under her nose, She couldn't help closing her eyes.
"Why? Why are Jacob and Anna in love, but not together? Why? "
At last hope could not help crying and saying intermittently, "why? Why? " She just kept repeating this sentence, as if she had suffered countless grievances, venting all her emotions.
Why can't the world be just black and white? Why can't love be simpler? Why can't they just go on? Why the reality will make them beyond recognition? Why can't love conquer everything? Why can't fairy tales be true? Why can't happiness last forever? Why do two people who really love each other go away?
And why do they have to learn to grow up?
Lanli didn't answer. He just patted hope on the back, which made him calm down. He looked at Tessa behind him, nodded with a smile, and then released his arms.
Hope was embarrassed to wipe the tears off his cheek. Then he saw a wet piece on lanli's white shirt. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to get into the cave. But lanli didn't care. The corner of his mouth rose slightly and asked with concern, "are you ok?"
Hope nodded nervously, covering his face that was almost on fire.
"Next time you take other friends to watch this movie, remind them to bring a handkerchief." Lanli's gentle voice with a little banter made everyone around him laugh, but hope himself became more and more shy, and his mouth could not help flying and chuckling.
It's so funny to laugh and cry.
Then, hope can see that Langley turns away and goes away. Behind her, Tessa hugged her fiercely from behind, opened her mouth, screamed silently, her eyes and face were filled with uncontrollable excitement, and the whole world was bright.
Back on the stage, Langley said to the microphone, "so the question is, why are Jacob and Anna in love, but not together? Is that right? "
Hope nodded, his eyes as red as a rabbit, but the smile on his face bloomed. After nodding her head, she realized that the distance was too far for lanli to see. She aimed at the microphone and confirmed again.
Lenley turns to look at felicity, then at Drake. "It's a very interesting question, because in the movie, Jacob and Anna are together, and they start over in Los Angeles. But... "
Langley pauses and smiles. "But, I think, that's what this movie leaves you. Everyone will have their own answers, some people think they will go on, some people think they will end up breaking up eventually; Some will blame Jacob, some will blame Anna, some will blame other external things. It's a question that we can all imagine. "
"As far as I'm concerned." Lanli stopped for a moment and organized his language. "I always think that life is only once, and if you miss it, you will never miss it. Life is not perfect. If we want to be more happy, more free and more complete, we must seize every moment and be brave
"I think Anna and Jacob... Just missed each other." This is some of Langley's insights in the process of playing Jacob, as well as some of his experiences after his rebirth.
Of course, everyone knows the truth. Is it so easy to put it into practice? If he didn't live once, he wouldn't be able to do better than Jacob, even if he didn't have a car accident. Those imperfections, those imperfections, are the essence of life, aren't they?
Just when everyone thought the answer was over, Langley continued, "this is my idea. Then, we can listen to Anna's idea and the director's idea. Maybe you can get some enlightenment from it."
The audience was stunned, and then all of them began to coax. This time, it was felicity's turn and Drake's turn to be at a loss.
