Ned Mullan pushes open the door of the studio and walks in quickly. Fellow journalists are packing their interview tools. Both sides nod and signal. Ned goes over the position of the camera and takes the initiative to meet him. Then he sees blue Li sitting on the high chair.
A blue sweater, a pair of smoky gray suit pants, a pair of light brown Brock shoes, idle with a little lazy, between the eyebrows can capture a little tired, but the smile is still relaxed and free, the golden brown curly hair droops down at will, full of a strong gentleman atmosphere, but not too high above.
Unable to help, Ned raised his camera and pressed the shutter instinctively. The click attracted Langley's attention. Looking up, Ned walked forward with an apologetic smile. "Good afternoon, Langley. I'm ned Mulan, a reporter from Empire magazine and one of the official media partners of the Berlin Film Festival. Please forgive me for being rude
Lanli chuckled. "The Organizing Committee of Berlin Film Festival will talk to you about the right of portrait." Ned was stunned by a joke, and then he couldn't help smiling. Blue Li Mei Yu slightly a cluster, thinking for a moment, "you are this morning after the press conference that reporter?"
After the press conference, he caught up with the reporter in the corridor and asked for Lan Li's signature.
Ned was a little surprised. "Do you remember me?" It's just a one-sided relationship.
Lan Li showed a smile, "it's rare for reporters to ask for the actor's signature. What's more, this is what happened in the morning. How could I forget it? "
Ned looked slightly embarrassed, but then returned to normal, "not for me, but for my niece." Ned sat down in the chair opposite Langley. "She was a sophomore, her school was in London, and her first love boyfriend went to Edinburgh. After a hard year, they finally chose to break up. Then, she saw 'crazy love' in the cinema
Ned didn't say much, just shrugged, showing a look of regret, "I mean, she's like crazy. She watched it over and over again, but still can't extricate herself. She almost becomes a useless person." There was a pause and a long breath. "I just thought, maybe, maybe you could bring some comfort."
Lanli suddenly realized and nodded, "maybe you should tell her that the director of 'crazy love' said that Jacob and Anna can't be together, but it doesn't mean they don't love each other anymore."
Ned was stunned. He chewed his words carefully. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it. Finally, he just nodded, "I'll tell her."
"If you want to sign, why don't you choose to ask for it during the interview?" Lan Li asked curiously.
Ned scratched his head. "It's private. It's business. I don't want to be confused." Lan Li nodded his approval. Although paparazzi are rampant and pervasive in the United Kingdom and the United States, it is undeniable that there are still a number of excellent journalists in these areas who adhere to their professional ethics and pursue their news dreams“ I forgot to say, "thank you. Thank you for signing. It's very important to me."
"For me, it's just a lift. I'm glad to be able to help. " Langley said with a smile, pausing. "Maybe you can answer a question in return." Ned didn't expect that, but he nodded and agreed. Langley adjusted his posture. "Why is love crazy so popular in Britain?"
Ned's eyes widened. He didn't expect such a question.
But Langley continued seriously, "I mean, the repercussions of this movie are far beyond my expectations. It's like when I arrived at the hotel yesterday, I couldn't believe so many people cheered me. " Lanli likes "crazy love" very much. When he was at the beginning, he decided to play it without hesitation; But it is still an independent work of art after all, and the achievements we have made are really incredible.
Ned realized lanli's sincerity and said, "lanli, may I ask you a question? Did you watch the movie "crazy love"? To be more precise, did you really watch your performance? " Ned body also slightly forward, "this film is not only about a long-distance love, more about love, about loneliness, about dependence, about impulse. Everyone can find their own shadow in it: love, when it's hot, it's very easy; But when the passion starts to cool down? "
Ned added, "I love this work, not because it resonates with me. I'm still a bachelor. " This little joke also made Lan Li laugh, "I like it because you give this work a special texture. I love the moment when Jacob falls in love. I'm also moved by Jacob's lonely and confused eyes. You know what? That's the power of film, and that's the power of performance. "
Lan Li gently pursed the corners of his mouth, slightly touched in his heart. To be honest, what ned said is really his feeling in the performance; But Ned's words are also correct, he saw "crazy love", but did not really re-examine his performance. Perhaps, this is another way to hone acting skills.
But on the surface, Lan Li showed a smile, hiding his inner thoughts, "thank you for your praise." It seems that the purpose of the question just now is to hear these praises.
Ned opened his mouth. He didn't know how to respond. He caught a light smile between lanli's eyebrows. Then he couldn't help rising, "my pleasure." Because what he said was true, there was no need to deny it, and he asked, "why did you become an actor, Langley? I mean, what was the reason you first fell in love with movies? "
This is the first time that such a question has been raised for the first time since the "Pacific War". Indeed, it is the Berlin Film Festival, and the difference between Europe and the United States is reflected again. Lan Li's memories can not be traced back to the last life. When he was Chu Jiashu, he was still trapped on the bed. "Have you ever seen the world of Truman?"? Have you ever thought that other people may be manipulating our lives, and the so-called God is actually a group of ordinary people living in a higher civilization and a distant alien
Ned looked at lanli in front of him with great interest. His eyes showed a different brilliance, just like a five-year-old child. He didn't hide his love for movies. His pure heart of chasing dreams never cooled down and never dimmed. He was pure and sincere, which made people envious and longing.
The 30 minute interview soon ended.
Empire magazine is one of the most authoritative and professional film journals in the UK. Ned has worked in this magazine for nearly six years. He graduated from university and has met all kinds of actors, directors and other artists in his late 30s. Every interview has different harvest and different mood, but the passage of time has become so insignificant, But it's really rare - especially after a press conference in the morning and then an interview with a number of media, the rhythm and fun of the conversation have not disappeared. It's really rare.
Looking back on today's news conference, Ned began to vaguely look forward to the work of "detachment". He not only looks forward to the work itself, but also looks forward to lanli's performance, and even more to lanli's next work. The charm of an actor is mostly like that.
"Last question, two weeks ago, the Oscar announced the nomination list. With the excellent performance of 'crazy love', you have received the nomination for the second year in a row. If, I mean, if, you succeed, what will happen?" Ned asked curiously that, to be honest, at home, Langley is even more vocal than Gary——
Gary Oldman is one of the most respected actors in the UK, and "cookers, tailors, soldiers, spies" is the most powerful contender for the best actor award of the British Academy of film and television.
"Ha ha." Lan Li laughed happily. "Let me dream for a while." With that, lanli seriously thought for a while in his mind, and Ned couldn't help smiling because of his straightforward action. Then lanli nodded and said with a smile, "I'm sure it will be a very exciting thing. However, life has to go on and performance has to go on. An Oscar winner is an important affirmation, but it can not prove that I am an outstanding actor. It can only prove that in this work, in this year, I won the hearts of the Academy judges. "
Confident and proud, firm and calm, but not lost. It's too hard for a 22-year-old young actor.
"Wait, is this kind of expression official enough? Is it enough routine? Is that the standard answer? " The joking tone not only shows his good mood, but also shows his recklessness. Especially with the serious expression, the contrast effect is better.
To be honest, ned is about to become a fan of Langley“ In the past two years, Empire magazine has made a lot of reports on Langley's works, but like most European journalists, "Langley hall" is just a symbol, not much practical significance, and the impression conveyed by American media is very flat. But today, at the Berlin Film Festival, the image of that name is becoming vivid.
Just for a moment, Ned found that the reporters for the next round of interviews had already stood by the camera, which was set by the festival officials. They needed to edit the gags and record the precious moments of the festival.
Ned quickly stood up, nodded to his colleague and apologized; Then he looked at Lan Li, only to find that he had stood up and stretched out his right hand. "Today's interview was very pleasant. Finally, I hope your niece can find the warmth and happiness around her again. "
Ned slightly Leng Leng, smile greatly up, holding blue Li's right hand, "thank you!"
