"Are you sure?"
There was no superfluous words. Lan Li was just a rhetorical question, which was very simple; While Rooney's words got stuck in her throat and tried to refute, but she found that her refutation was not tenable at all. Looking back on her words, she immediately realized the contradictions and mistakes in them and couldn't help laughing.
Those routines and strategies must vary from person to person. For some, it's glib; For some people, it is romantic; For some, it's cynicism. Obviously, it's not suitable for Langley.
Brain fill, always gentleman decent, etiquette in place of Lan Li, style mutation, full of sweet talk, full of hormone breath, but also mouth flowers, and physical contact, the scene is really... LUNI can't help but have a shiver, goose bumps crawling all over her arms, it's really greasy, too greasy!
Raising her eyes, Rooney easily caught the eyes of lanli. The banter and banter surging from the bottom of her eyes, with a trace of fun in the stars. LUNI's cheek was slightly hot, but this time she didn't dodge. She graciously welcomed Lan Li's look. "A real gentleman should know how to stop when he likes."
Then, LUNI saw that the corners of lanli's mouth and the fundus of her eyes were full of brilliant smiles. The whole world suddenly brightened up. She shook her head gently and gently. There was a touch of joy and joy between her eyebrows. Her elegant temperament was stained with some youthful vitality and became breathtaking.
However, Lan Li did not answer, but nodded politely, apologized, or agreed. Then, turning his head and looking at the starry sky again, the two people's words were interrupted endlessly, but there was no embarrassment and astringency.
Lu Ni slightly Leng Leng, then also turned his head, looked at the sky again, the wind sent Lan Li with a shallow smile voice, "I'm not a gentleman. At least, I hope I'm not. "
Subconsciously, Rooney chuckled and wanted to refute conditionally: the elegance of lanli is undoubtedly the most unique scenery; But he turned his head and saw Lan Li's side face. The smile remained the same. The shadow under her eyelids outlined a touch of sadness and bitterness. It just flashed away. It seemed that the touch of vulnerability never existed. Then, Rooney's words stayed on the tip of her tongue.
Savor Lan Li's words again.
All of a sudden, Rooney thought of the conjecture about the background of lanli's family. Those kind, malicious and gossip conjectures had never been confirmed. Everyone was curious: what was the origin of this elegant, calm and erudite man; He was only twenty-two years old, but he had a temperament after years of precipitation and polishing. The gentleman's manners were impeccable.
Rooney Mara, herself, is a family celebrity from a famous family. The pressure from the family, the shackles from the surname and the shackles from the class are everywhere. Otherwise, she would not have fled to Los Angeles at the beginning. After so many years of polishing, she was willing to return to New York.
Now, Rooney smelled a similar smell in Langley's body.
So, Rooney took her eyes back, and the corner of her mouth rose. "You are, but you are not."
He is a gentleman, a real gentleman; But he is not a puppet carrying the weight of his family, relying on his own hands and feet to break out of a world. So, he is, and he is not.
Langley didn't answer. And Rooney didn't keep talking. Silence, slowly spread between two people, quietly listen to the noise in the quiet, quietly enjoy the bright night sky. Sometimes, peace can be wonderful.
Melodious melody gently reverberates in the mind, just like the quiet echo in the open valley. The shallow and light vibration has left a resonance in the soul, with a trace of coldness, a wisp of warmth, sadness and bitterness.
This is the melody on the red carpet, which sometimes slips through the mind. It is still the same eight beat, like the singing of a choir, like the high song of a minstrel, repeating over and over again.
"If they say, who cares if another light goes out, it's flashing and flashing under the millions of stars in the sky..."
Lan Li hummed in a soft voice. Gently, his gentle voice was like a willow wind blowing on his face, lingering on his nose and fingertips, sketching a light sadness, like ripples. The voice, which was close to whispering, echoed in the depth of the throat, as if we could see the track of the butterfly's wings.
How many people have put down the pace of forward, quietly appreciate the sky above their heads; How many people have stopped the busy life and noticed the star across the sky. Under hundreds of millions of stars, a light goes out, does anyone care? In thousands of lives, does anyone care about the silence of a wisp of soul? In the rush of life, the death of a dream, who cares?
"Yes, I care." There was a cold voice in his ear, which broke Lan Li's mind. He turned his head suddenly. Then he remembered that he was not alone.
Rooney still tilted her head, bathed in the vast starlight, and her white and soft face was shining with resolute brilliance. She turned her head, calmly met Lan Li's eyes, and said in a soft voice, "you know, without any starlight, this night sky is not what it used to be. So, yes, I care. "
Two lines of vision in the night gently touch, and then the tacit understanding of the full gently Dodge, the corner of the mouth smile at the same time up, both turned their heads, the distance ahead that quietly flashing "Hollywood" sign.
Rooney chuckled, and the laughter gurgled in her ear. "Are we going to stick to the two-day rule tonight?"
"Of course, of course." Langley shrugged his shoulders and affirmed, "we've been through the ditch before. I'm a serious time nerd."
"And I seriously hate time nerds." Rooney nodded and agreed, "it seems that we have reached a consensus. I like that. It's always easy to communicate with smart people. "
"So, it's still not a date, you just come out, not because you're following me?"
"No. So, you don't stand here waiting for me on purpose? "
"No, no, No. Coincidence, pure coincidence. "
"Coincidence, yes, I think it's coincidence, too." Rooney clenched her fist and agreed in a positive way, then remembered, "yes, congratulations."
"Thank you." Without politeness, lanli accepted the congratulations calmly.
Rooney looked around. "I didn't see your trophy. You know, for most people, after winning their little gold medal, they can't put it down and refuse to let it go. " Rooney pursed the corners of her mouth. "Even Meryl Streep is no exception."
"At the broker." But Lan Li didn't make a fuss. He said frankly, "it's too heavy and troublesome." After a short pause, he added, "I just need some fresh air to enjoy the night. If you carry the little golden man with you, it sounds too... Pretentious. "
Lanley's words made Rooney giggle, but Lanley shrugged, "it's like an Italian or French movie. Hold tightly to the highest honor of your life, and then jump down from here, life will end at the peak. I'm not interested in such a philosophical ending. "
The tone of sarcasm and banter really made people laugh. Finally, the laughter gradually calmed down. Looking at Lan Li in the night, the whole person seemed to melt into the rich ink. How do you feel? " "I mean, the moment you're on stage," Rooney asked curiously
"Well..." Lan Li pondered for a moment and thought seriously, "I can't avoid vulgarity after all?" A self teasing rhetorical question made Rooney laugh, and the corner of lanli's mouth rose, "I'm serious. If I didn't really care, I wouldn't have left London, and I wouldn't have stood under the spotlight of Hollywood. So, deep in my heart, I still care, I still try to prove my existence; I'm still trying to win my own proof. "
In the vanity fair, who is really noble? Just like the aristocratic society, who is really out of it?
"Which of us is not?" Rooney seems to understand this, laughter calmed down, but the smile still stays in the corner of the mouth, fell in the eye, "but, you are an actor, not a star."
Actors and stars, after all, are different. Inner persistence, inner pursuit, inner belief, this is the real definition of their own existence.
Lan Li is noncommittal. In the past, the road of pursuing dreams was very simple, just immersed in constant sprint, progress and struggle; But gradually, things began to get complicated.
Now, after the harvest of the Oscar, the dream seems to have come true, but has it really come true? Did he really become a good actor? Has he really reached a new level of acting? Did his dream, his real dream, succeed? In Hollywood's vanity fair, what's the next step?
Only after the goal is really achieved, can we know that we are facing new problems. After tonight, a brand new world will appear in front of him. Even if he is a man of two generations, he has never understood or even known the world. Now, he must rely on his own belief and continue to move forward.
Instead of focusing on himself, Langley asked, "so do you still feel breathless tonight? Or are you ready to stand on this stage, show your talents and pursue your dreams? "
Last year in Seattle, the conversation between Raleigh and Rooney is still fresh in my mind. In the twinkling of an eye, a year has passed, and their careers have undergone earth shaking changes.
"I don't know. At least I can breathe tonight, but it's still difficult, so I need some fresh air. I'm not sure whether it's because I've proved myself or because I've won the nomination, ha. It seems that, like you, I can't avoid vulgarity after all. However, I think this is vanity fair. Everyone needs to face their own opportunities and challenges. Next, my task is to figure out the new ideas in my mind
"To be or not to be is a question."
