"Are you serious?" The young man's face was full of disbelief, and his eyes were full. He looked at the baseball cap in blue Li's hand, and the excitement of his eyes could hardly be covered; But then, after a pause, he became hesitant again. "But, this gift is too expensive. I... Er, my parents taught me, which is not good."
Blue Li unexpectedly picked pick eyebrow tail, the smile of the fundus of the eye is more thick, "the thing is like this." I haven't seen the poster of "detached". I've been looking forward to having one, so your gift is very important to me; This hat is my personal thing. It's nothing special and it's not expensive. Believe me, it's just a baseball hat I picked up in Brooklyn, New York. It's not as valuable as I thought
"But this is your hat! This is your hat The youth's voice began to tremble slightly.
Lan Li laughed happily, "then you'd better keep it properly. Maybe one day, I'll be Michael Jackson, or Marlon Brando, and this hat will be valuable. " This self mockery made the fans around laugh.
He took the carbon pen from the boy, signed his name on the lining of the hat, and then looked up and asked, "what's your name?"
"Nicholas Hamilton." Young stumbling to say, because too nervous, so that his name is not clear.
After signing, lanli handed the hat to the boy, then rolled up the poster and put it in the palm of his hand. "Thank you for your support, Nicholas. It's very important to me. I hope you won't be disappointed by the "detachment" of the Berlin Film Festival
"Of course. I mean, of course not! " Nicholas waved his hand and saw that Langley was about to leave, but he was still reluctant to part. He could not help preaching aloud, "I also want to be an actor, an actor like you!"
It was an unexpected surprise.
In the last life, because of the film and the performance, the boring life had color again, so he had a dream, a dream of moving forward and running wildly, which made him stand on the stage of the Berlin Film Festival; This time, I didn't expect that he became the one who inspired the dream, the one who lightened the inspiration, the one who changed someone's life.
It's amazing.
This life chasing a dream, desperate to run, today at this moment, for the first time in lanli himself, derived other meaning. Just like Tony kayer's "detachment", the progress of society and the progress of history need everyone's strength. Everyone is building the whole society in his own way, and everyone is making contributions in his own actions. Now, it's Raleigh's turn.
Looking at the young man's face full of hope, power and light, the weight of dream is heavily on his shoulder.
The smile on the corner of his mouth rose slightly, and Langley's mood also rose gently. "Nicholas Hamilton, right? I hope that one day, we can perform on the same stage. Then, it's my honor. " After a short pause, lanli took a step forward, gave the boy a hug and patted him on the back.
There's a little struggle in my heart. Although Langley knew that the grand occasion of Kennedy Airport and Lincoln Center was just a small probability event, the fans were different after all. It was obviously the most stupid way to stop eating for choking; However, that kind of fear and resistance, or can not contain the rise, compared with fanatical fans, Lan Li would rather fight with reporters, paparazzi. Some things, after all, are a threshold.
But after the struggle, Lan Li took this step.
It is not only because these fanaticism, these support and these cries are in themselves affirmation of him; Also because hidden behind these cheers and excitement, as well as the story of every independent fan, he can win the love of these audiences, which is his honor; More because of this young man named Nicholas, his body is shining with the light of dream. In a trance, lanli seems to see himself.
So Langley hugged Nicholas, just as he hugged Lauren messler.
He hugged gently, politely and cordially. Then he loosened his grip and stepped back. Lan Li clenched his fist, waved it gently and said with a smile, "come on
With that, lanli turned around and strode towards the hotel lobby. The screams and shouts were still heard behind him. Lanli's steps were light and his heavy heart began to become hot again. Winter in Berlin seems to be better.
Nicholas stood in the same place, watching Lan Li's figure disappear. At last, he didn't hold back. He jumped up high and cheered, "Yeah!" Lanli said, looking forward to the future, they can stand on the same stage! Lan Li said, come on“ Ah, ah The joy of the heart gushes out, and every pore of the body can feel the joy and joy from the depth of the soul.
But before the cheer was over, a man with black rimmed glasses appeared in front of Nicholas. He was wearing a wrinkled suit and looked down and slovenly. "Hello, I'm Roy rockery, the manager of Langley. Tomorrow morning, remember to come to the lobby of the hotel. Lanli will re sign a "detached" poster and put it in the lobby manager's place. You remember to go and get it. What's your name again? Can you tell me again? "
Nicholas's brain has completely crashed, repeated his name, and then saw the other person nodding, "no problem. You can just give me your name. In addition, I hope to see you again at the premiere of "detached" the day after tomorrow The other side patted him on the shoulder, then stepped on the slow pace, Shi ran into the hotel lobby, and finally disappeared completely.
"Jesus Christ!" Just when Nicholas thought that today could not be more perfect, the surprise appeared again. Full of joy, full of happiness, Nicholas felt that this may be the happiest day in his life, although he was only 12 years old.
"Ah, ah Apart from screaming, Nicholas couldn't find a better way to express his true feelings at this moment, so he did.
For a long time, among the three major European film festivals, Cannes Film Festival's craziness and enthusiasm have always been talked about by people. The bright sunshine of France's blue coast is open to welcome film lovers from all over the world to visit; But when people talk about the Berlin Film Festival, the theme of the film, the discussion of art, social difficulties, political changes, the development of German local films... These are the key words. In Berlin in the cold winter and February, even if the fans are enthusiastic again, even if the audience support again, the freezing weather and sub zero temperature make the storm unable to set off waves.
However, in the 12 hours after Langley's arrival in Berlin, this film festival, which has always been famous for its coldness and seriousness, took on a different look.
The welcome to the airport and the crowds to the hotel are just the beginning; In the evening, Langley left the hotel and went to the cinema. As usual, he personally integrated into the atmosphere of the festival——
This is already the fifth day after the opening of the Berlin Film Festival. A large number of films have appeared on the stage, and senior fans can be said to be familiar with the works. Before departure, instead of doing his homework in advance, lanli went directly to the Sony Center on the other side of the street, where there is an official cinema of the film festival, ready to choose a movie to watch; As a result, it was recognized by the fans in the cinema hall, and then... They started a heated discussion about the film.
About Christian petzold, a new German director, and his new work "Barbara", this is perhaps the most worth watching work of the festival so far; About Billy Bob Thornton, about his fourth directing work "Jane Mansfield's car", how disappointing, how old-fashioned, how complacent; About Meryl Streep, about her upcoming Lifetime Achievement Award; What a surprise and wonderful "lighting up the lights" at the recent Sundance Film Festival
Such a scene, in a trance, reminds Langley of the triliuride Film Festival. However, there are some differences between them. The fans here are more professional. Whether they like it or dislike it, they may express their own opinions, which are well founded and semi professional; The fans here are more calm. Almost everyone who sees lanli will take the initiative to say hello, but that's all. Instead of asking for signature, handshake or shooting, they are happy to stop and chat.
Even so, the hall of the cinema is still packed. Lanli almost began to wonder if he had remembered the wrong time because of the time difference? When he left the hotel room, it was already early eleven o'clock. Why is the cinema still so busy now? Why is the audience still in an endless stream?
In order to avoid disturbing the audience, lanli bought a ticket for "battlefield Wizard" and entered the screening hall, which brought the discussion to a stage for the time being.
However, at the end of the movie, a large group of people still gathered in the movie hall, either standing or sitting. When they saw Lan Li, they crowded up one after another - not screaming or signing a photo, but... Asking about Lan Li's view of "battlefield Wizard". Everyone stood in the same place, rolled up their sleeves and talked about the whole night.
This kind of feeling is very wonderful, it seems that the stars are holding the moon, and everyone revolves around Lan Li; But it seems to be equal coexistence, everyone is expressing their own views, even Lan Li's point of view, may also be refuted to pieces.
On this cold winter night, a group of film lovers are gathered together, a cup of coffee, a doughnut, a topic, which is enough.
This kind of Berlin Film Festival seems unusual.
