Chapter 1031

"Is that why you created the beast?"

This is Joel's question, in the words that can't wait, hidden enthusiasm and excitement, is surging, which makes Langley can't help but think of the two people's first meeting in Berlin.

Joel's always been, impulsive, restless, urgent. On the negative side, it is a lack of control; But on the positive side, it's pure simplicity.

People always like to use the first impression to define a stranger; However, many times, the first impression is too one-sided. The problem is that most people have no patience to continue to explore other possibilities behind the first impression.

In the face of Joel's eager eyes, lenley nodded in affirmation.

"On the road of self pursuit, people see the glory and glory after success, but they don't see the loneliness and loneliness before success. There are too many helpless souls trapped in the lonely land where there is no way to retreat. They persist, struggle and struggle. With their own flesh and blood, they create beauty and crown. It's never about ballads or movies, it's about yourself. "

"I mean, Don Quixote was successful, and the Cohen brothers were successful, so people began to pay attention to it. It's a folk album. It's an independent film. Why do you choose folk songs? Why is it so creative? But what about failure? What if we fail? "

No one cares about it. It doesn't matter whether it's folk songs or independent movies.

It's not just Joel and Ethan, but also lanli himself. He and the Cohen brothers don't even count as nodding friends. They suddenly discuss such a profound topic. They feel strange about the pace of the conversation. They always feel that the progress is not quite right.

If the conversation is set in Europe, that's normal. Even two strangers who don't know each other at all may constantly express their opinions, insist on their own opinions, conduct in-depth game and exchange, or even blush because of a political, philosophical or artistic topic. This is a cultural atmosphere.

But this is America.

The point is not Langley's eloquence, but the Cohen brothers' immediate reaction.

After a short period of consternation, Joel's eyes lit up slightly, and became more and more bright, as if he could see the soul through those eyes, and gradually became alive and full of vitality. The flash of brilliance made Joel Cohen's ordinary appearance different.

Good looking skins are the same, and interesting souls are one in a million. Especially in the art world. The soul who lives in the skin bag is full of talent and can always burst out a unique temperament, which makes people ignore the external image and become fascinated by it simply and deeply.

Tony kayer, George Slade, Alfonso Caron and now the Cohen brothers have different personalities and temperaments, but they all have similar characteristics.

"That's him." Joel said without warning, patting his thigh firmly, then shaking Ethan's shoulder, "Ethan, I tell you, it's him. He is the inspiration! Do you understand? He is the inspiration

Joel shook so hard that Ethan's glasses almost fell off.

Ethan had to hold on to the frame and gave an apologetic smile to lanli. "I'm sorry, he's always too excited."

"Excited, of course I am. We found it Joel was still immersed in his thoughts and couldn't extricate himself. Then he saw the unidentified expression of lanli, and immediately moved forward with excitement, almost falling to the ground.

But he didn't care about himself at all. He grabbed Langley's knee, and his voice began to shake uncontrollably because of excitement. "We're thinking of a film about a folk singer. In you, we find inspiration. In Don Quixote, we find inspiration. God! We found it! I really found it

Movie invitation, it's movie invitation.

Unexpected but reasonable.

It's an accident because the first meeting between Langley and the Cohen brothers in Berlin was not pleasant. When the Cohen brothers took the initiative to contact Andy, Langley's first guess was that the Sundance Film Festival, through the bridge of independent films, put down the personal impression of each other, meet again in Park City, unite and contribute to the promotion of industrial progress.

In line with common sense, that's because after going through ups and downs and ups and downs, the absolute strength of lanli has been recognized by countless people. Especially after the box office victory of "tomorrow's edge", more and more people will take the initiative to stretch out the olive branch, such as film companies, producers, directors, screenwriters and so on. This will gradually become a normal situation.

After Joel shows his real purpose, lanli and Andy quickly exchange a line of sight, revealing a clear look.

The suspense was finally revealed, the mood of doubt and speculation disappeared, and the tense and astringent atmosphere eased down.

Andy's mouth rose slightly and closed his jaw slightly invisibly to express his appreciation; Roy and Nathan both relaxed. After the truth came to the surface, they were only a little surprised. Then they showed their natural calm and didn't seem too excited about the initiative of the Cohen brothers.

The Cohen brothers are not only the leading figures in the field of American independent film, but also a force that can not be ignored in the world film world. In all the works of Langley, the Cohen brothers are undoubtedly the biggest and top directors——

Tony kayer and Paul Greengrass are not top class; Steven Spielberg is just a producer of the Pacific War, not a director.

Nevertheless, after a magical and brilliant year, the cooperation of famous directors, Alfonso Caron and the Cohen brothers, should come naturally.

However, Lan Li could not agree.

In fact, personally, Langley likes the Cohen brothers' style very much.

"Ice blood violence", "three kings of prison escape", "murder green toe", "no country for the elderly" and so on are all excellent works. They satirize the social reality in the black humor, and the cold and cruel flowing water is hidden in the camera lens and the picture. They are easy to handle, with a kind of banter and ridicule, It always endows works with unique temperament.

Objectively speaking, the Cohen brothers are directors with distinctive style, but they are not good at training actors.

In their works, they rely more on the self interpretation and performance of the actors, such as Francis mcdermond of "ice blood storm", "Javier Baden of" no country for old people "," Geoff bridges of "earth thunder" and so on. The performance style of the co actors will greatly affect the completion of the finished works.

But for actors, this is undoubtedly an opportunity to challenge themselves, to challenge their ability to understand the script, to deepen the connotation, to explore the director, to interpret the role and to control the performance. In the framework of Cohen brothers' style, it is very interesting to interpret and deduce their own content.

If possible, Langley is very willing to cooperate with the Cohen brothers, even eager to try; Unfortunately, lanli's schedule is full.

The west end and Broadway tour of "les miserables" will not be finished in a short time, and it will be October at the earliest; Then there was the shooting of "gravity". The shooting cycle can't be predicted for the time being, but there must be no gap in the year, and the schedule can't see the end for the time being.

So, even if not give up, even if helpless, blue Li still had to refuse.

However, Joel didn't leave any space for interrupting at all. After he opened the conversation, he couldn't stop and kept on saying, "inadvertently, I saw a performance of Grammy. Oh, no, it should be the video of the award speech. That speech after you won the annual album awakened my memory, Those memories of the sixties. "

With that, Joel began to dance, with rich expression, bright eyes, and uncontrollable excitement.

"It was a time when folk singers were in full swing. At that time, countless great songs were born. They were not only achievements in music, but also witness of history and society. All the fragments about society, politics, culture and life were hidden in the lyrics. It is no exaggeration to say that many singers were poets, It really changed the cultural composition of the whole American society. "

Words are like the beating melody of musical symbols. They collide between lips and teeth and stir up surging emotions. The frenzy can be deeply felt between the lines.

Not only Joel, but also Ethan, who was sitting beside him, could not help but also stimulate his mood and joined the ranks of opening his mouth. "Under that background, the whole society is in turmoil. Countless people, I mean literally, countless people, are eager to become a part of this upsurge. It seems that as long as they can open their mouth to sing, they want to become a folk singer."

"It doesn't matter who you are. The most important thing is that you are part of this wave of ballads." A seemingly ordinary sentence hides too much meaning. When Ethan said this, his eyes also burst out with amazing enthusiasm and madness, which defined his existence as an artistic creator.

Joel seamlessly took over the topic, clenched his fists and waved his hands irresistibly, "now, in your body, in that award speech, we see the glory and glory of those years again. We hope to make a film about folk songs, tell the story of a whole generation of musicians, and also tell the story of the tide of the whole era."

"To be honest, it's hard to imagine that in the 21st century, there are still people who stick to a pure land in their hearts; What's more, you are only 22 years old. God, it's incredible. So, Joel said, why don't we make a film about this young man? I nodded in agreement

Finally, Ethan looked at Lan Li with a burning eye, and his tone was full of eagerness and eagerness. "We made a work based on you."
