Laughter reverberates in the space of the Pioneer Village, as if instantly back to the most lively Saturday night. The whole bar is full of guests, and everyone is looking forward to the performance. Everyone is also enjoying the relaxation and comfort of Saturday, indulgence and party, just immersed in this atmosphere.
As he walked to the other end of the bar, he didn't disturb the lively atmosphere near the stage. Then he saw Neil Tucson coming over at the first time, which made him dumbfounded and laughing. It seems to have become a reflection of Neil's professional conditions, and he was scanning the customers near the bar all the time.
With the distance getting closer, Neil gradually recognized the figure of the person, but he didn't feel happy. Instead, he drooped his mouth and sank his shoulder. He looked dejected. Before he got close, he could see the exaggerated look of the sad face. Then he muttered, "damn guy, it's been gone for so long, ah, God, The Gobi is going to be a desert. "
The endless words are really confusing.
Lan Li gently picks his eyebrows, and his eyes show a faint smile, but he doesn't respond. He just looks at Neil quietly, and then you can see that Neil looks at Lan Li furtively with the rest of his eyes.
As a result, Neil realized that his little action fell into the eyes of lanli, and he couldn't move lanli at all. After that, he raised his eyebrows angrily, "don't you know that I live in deep water? Don't you care about the living conditions of your best friends? "
"Matthew? Matthew is working now. Everything is fine with him. Thank you for your concern. " Lan Li answered earnestly.
Neil immediately choked, and then he realized that it was not easy for him to get the upper hand in the language battle, so he gave up and said, "I, I, I just said me!"
"It disappeared for more than half a year, and there was no news at all. Then my pipeline channel was completely closed for half a year. Do you know how many people sent messages to scold me, thinking that I was not kind at all, and no longer releasing your videos. God, how do I know where you are? I also want to send video, but, if you don't come here, what can I do? "
Neil howled there for a few words, and then glanced at Lan Li secretly again. He found that Lan Li still had a calm expression on his face. He could only restrain his expression. "Hey, at least cooperate. You don't know, if the opponent actors don't cooperate, there's no way to perform this play."
"I see." Lan Li suddenly nodded, and then asked seriously, "do you want to do it again?"
Neil almost did not change over at one breath, rolled a big white eye, "God, I really can't understand why those people always say you are humorous, I think, you are the most humorous person in the world."
Neal make complaints about careless and casual, and stood in the bar and winked. "To tell the truth, after the absence of the oil pipe channel, I am now in the decline of the women's index. How, for my happy life, do you want to perform again today?"
"How bad are you at accosting now? How can we rely on other gimmicks? " Lanli showed a look of surprise. A simple rhetorical question choked Neil directly. Then he saw that Neil angrily threw his rag on the bar. "Hey, young man, can we have fun together?"
When he finished with angry eyes and looked at lanli who was about to speak, Neil immediately got rid of the "angry" state, waved his hand and said with a smile, "it's a joke, it's definitely just a joke. Of course, we are still friends. Otherwise, we will take a picture now and send it to the photo wall for authentication
Looking at the flickering light of prank under Neil's eyes, lanli knows that Neil is still that Neil, joking, humorous, teasing and joking.
Although the two haven't seen each other for more than half a year, although too many things happened in 2012, and although lanli has become a top star in the industry, Neil is still the bartender of Pioneer Village. But time did not leave too many traces on the two people, just a face-to-face, two people get familiar again, as if instantly back to the time before fame.
Some friendships need careful care and maintenance. Only by regular maintenance can they last forever. Otherwise, they will go away with time and space. There is nothing wrong with this. Just like marriage, we have to work hard and pay attention to it. We have to work hard and have emotions to maintain it for a long time.
But some friendships don't need them. Even after the time gap, even after the vicissitudes of life, when we meet again, the quiet flowing tacit understanding can still awaken those beautiful years and find the most real self in each other. This is also the most different and special point between friendship, family affection and love.
So people always say that relatives and lovers can only accompany themselves through one part of life, but friends can go through the whole long life hand in hand. However, such a friend is really too rare and rare.
A smile glided through Lanley's eyes, ignoring Neil's teasing and joking, "where's Stanley? I thought that he would be here in person to avoid being transformed into a place beyond recognition. This is his life's hard work. "
"Oh, don't worry. Joel and Ethan have already confirmed that there is no need to change here. They can go on camera completely according to the existing decoration. However, our beer and cups still need to be replaced. Some brands can't be found in the 1960s, and some cups have been newly added in the past two years, which is not in line with the flavor of the times. " Neil introduced the situation skillfully.
Then, with a mysterious look on his face, he looked left and right, leaned over to Lanley's ear and said in a low voice, "Ethan said, I can play the barman in the movie." Then Neil raised his eyebrows to show his excitement. "Ha ha, I'm going to be an actor, too."
After discussion and investigation, the main shooting location of "zuixiang ballad" was selected in the Pioneer Village.
According to the plan of the Cohen brothers, they hope to find a retro bar in Manhattan's Greenwich Village with the style of 1960s folk songs, which can be used as the shooting site of the "gas light bar" in the film, and present the city street view of New York as truly as possible——
In fact, in Greenwich Village, most of the streets and scenery here have not changed dramatically since half a century ago, but they are cleaner and cleaner; Then some buildings become ruins, but there are few new buildings. In the lens of the Cohen brothers, they can still present the original texture perfectly. This is also an important reason why the shooting cost has been effectively controlled.
Obviously, the Pioneer Village is the best choice.
According to Joel Cohen, "I even wonder if I ever came to the Pioneer Village in my dream, watched the performance of Langley, and when I woke up, I came up with the idea of this film."
From Pioneer Village to Langley, to Greenwich Village and Don Quixote, everything seems to be tailor-made for "drunken folk". Depressed by excitement and excitement, the Cohen brothers found Stanley Charlson and told him all their ideas and creativity, who would devote his whole life to the Pioneer Village.
Stanley was in tears.
As a jazz bar, founded in 1935 as a Pioneer Village, it has experienced the golden age of black-and-white films, the ideological frenzy of the 1960s and 1970s, the craze of folk songs and rock sweeping the whole society, as well as several wars and the exile of the beat generation.
Now, in the lens of the Cohen brothers, it will return to the 1960s, when music can save the world, when art carries social hope, and when dreams still shine. For Stanley, it was a dream come true, so he had no reason to refuse.
"It's not fair." Lan Li said solemnly, "I spent so much effort to get on the big screen, but now you have won the chance without any effort? It's not fair. "
Neil put his hands in his waist, raised his chest high, with a triumphant expression on his face. He seemed to be saying, "praise me, praise me, praise me quickly." then a humorous voice came from the side, "so, which movie is this for? Can I participate? Although I'm not a good actor, I can try to have a look. "
Neil and Langley both cast their eyes, and then they see Justin Timberlake standing in front of them.
Not only that, but other people behind Justin also cast their eyes one after another. The restlessness of eagerness and eagerness surged in the whole bar, which was quite different from the atmosphere just now. It seemed that unconsciously, the focus of the whole audience came from the other end of the bar.
"Justin Timberlake." He introduced himself politely.
"Langley hall." He also reported home with a smile.
Neil, standing in the middle, looked around, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Neil Tucson." The uneasy and funny voice suddenly made the atmosphere relaxed and happy.
Justin shrugged his shoulders and pursed the corners of his mouth. "It's said that everyone has been emphasizing that lanli is a monster, but today, it seems that I should be the first one who dares to approach the dragon. Does this mean that I have great courage?" That light witty words can make people feel his ease and contentment, full of confidence, not too sharp, but successfully grasp the initiative.
"A few friends and I mentioned that I was going to cooperate with Lan Li in this work, and all of them gave a cry of surprise, and each of them cast envious eyes. I forgot to tell them that this time it was music, not movies. So, I think, I'd better not poke their pink bubbles. " Justin said with flowing air, successfully causing a low voice of laughter.
