Chapter 1318

"Hey, this is Cannes. I'm not the main character, you are."

Lanli's simple words successfully won a response from the press conference hall, with applause, laughter and whistles ringing one after another.

For most of the new we media, who have followed suit and come to join in the fun, they don't understand the humor in Lan Li's words. The laughter in the whole hall makes them feel very lonely. Only a small number of professional bloggers with profound knowledge can join the ranks of the French and burst out laughing.

In Cannes, in France, the director is always the protagonist, "the film is the art of the director" in this land has been incisively reflected. When people mention a movie, the director is the absolute core; Even the most famous and top actors are affiliated to the director's works.

For example, "drunken folk".

People would say, "that Cohen brothers is great," not "that Langley hall is great.".

The same situation has been continued in Berlin and Venice, so that Toronto, triliuride, Sundance and so on have gradually inherited similar traditions. However, they have carried out more evolution and expansion. Even if they mention "the blue ray hall", it is no problem.

But this is Cannes.

So, Langley is not the protagonist, the Cohen brothers are. Only those who are really familiar with the three major European film festivals can understand it.

Joel and Langley turn to Ethan.

Ethan didn't refuse. "I think it's a very interesting question. In fact, after the shooting of "earth thunder", Joel and I are going to have a good rest. In more than two years, we haven't found any more exact inspiration until last year's Grammy Awards ceremony. "

Ethan raised his hand and motioned to Joel. "As joel said, we were really moved by Langley's performance. I don't know if you've ever heard the song called "beast" or the album "Don Quixote". Through the performance, you can feel the soul power hidden behind the song, telling stories about dreams and life. "

"I find this question interesting because it's a story that doesn't have many possibilities. Imagine, at the moment of 2011... "Ethan confirmed the release time of" Don Quixote "to lenley," how many people are willing to calm down and make a really good album that no one listens to, telling a story about a loser with unrealistic dreams? How many people are willing to listen to this album

"It's the same with movies."

The entire press conference hall was completely quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Ethan.

Ethan lifted his eyeglass frame and said, "Joel and I are very lucky. Now we can find support for any subject we want to shoot. Even if it is a boring story without too many possibilities, some people are willing to believe us. But for those struggling indie filmmakers, it's totally unimaginable. "

"Among them, there are many talented, young and energetic creators, but now they are tightly suppressed by the impatience, urgency and rudeness of the whole industry. It is very likely that they will eventually have to give up their favorite career. In Grammy's performance, Langley sang like this——

’So grass your dream, how dare you forget our scars, I will incarnate for you into a beast, if you pay enough money, everything will not count, few dreams can remember

Ethan read out the lyrics in vernacular, looked at Lan Li again, and said with a smile, "are the lyrics correct?"

With a smile, Lan Li agreed.

Ethan chuckled, "so Joel and I created this story. We know that this is a very, very cold story. We hope to show the beauty and moving of the sixties, as well as the hardship and depression of the dreamer. It's a story that belongs to both dreamers and artists. "

"In Cannes, the audience can like this film. I think it's not our credit, it's lanli's. He made us listen to the melody of Don Quixote and the voice of Levine Davis. " At the end of the topic, Ethan again gave the praise to Lan Li, sincerely.

Lan Li, who once again became the focus of attention, spread out his hands. "I guess it's my turn again?" The slightly raised ending reveals a stream of witty banter, which successfully makes everyone's mouth outline a shallow arc.

"I always think it's not my credit. I'm just telling the story of a lone walker on the road of dreams. " Lanli freely took over the topic, "I used to have the same idea as you. I don't think anyone misses artistic creation or cares about pursuing dreams. I'm just a loner."

"But obviously, I was wrong." Langley said with a smile, "Don Quixote's voice is heard, and Levine Davis's voice is heard. So, believe me, when I know that you like this work, I believe it's not the members of our crew who are really happy, but the dreamers who are still struggling in the dark. "

"Come on, even the losers like Levine never give up. You should have more hope." After a very meaningful speech, Lan Li's voice changed, and then became relaxed and cheered up. The small banter made everyone laugh.

Then a reporter stood up, but his English was obviously not very good. He described his problems awkwardly, but his strong accent made everyone in the audience confused.

Lenley offered a friendly hand. "You can use French." The other party's accent should be from the south of France.

Ethan looked at Justin for no reason. Then Justin leaned over and said, "Langley can speak many languages fluently. It was shown in Berlin before."

"I never knew you were paying so much attention to me." Lan Li's voice came over, and then Justin showed an exaggerated expression of consternation, which made everyone on the scene laugh.

The reporter finally got up and waited for the laughter to subside. He asked in French, "what's the most difficult part in shooting this work, lanli? Which part of singing is more difficult than acting? Finally, we are very curious, do you have plans for your next album? "

"Ha ha." "I can answer the last one first: No. Sorry, I don't think I'm a good singer. However, the original tape of "drunken ballad" has been recorded, I'm not sure... "Lan Li pauses, turns to look at Joel and Ethan, and switches to English," when will our original tape be released? "

"Cannes Film Festival officially opened for sale on the day of the opening ceremony, but it seems that the sales are not very good." Joel said solemnly.

"I'm not surprised." Lan Li also nodded his head in a serious way to respond. In a light smile, he turned to the reporter who asked the question, "I think if you are interested, you can enjoy the soundtrack of the film again."

The whole press conference hall immediately began to ring. The first reaction of Emily and mark was to exchange their eyes. Then they found that their fundus excitement was so similar.

In fact, last night, countless media reporters were complaining that they miss the music in the "drunken folk songs" very much, but they can't go back to the movies to listen to it at the first time.

I didn't expect that the original soundtrack had been released in advance, quietly!

Lan Li did not notice the excitement of the reporters, and then answered the question, "in the process of shooting the works, in fact, the most difficult thing is acting. The melody and lyrics of every piece of music have a source. In a sense, it is a part of Levine. Therefore, in the process of performance, I need to enter into the current situation and be fully involved. From singing to acting, this is an all-round test. "

"Please don't believe in lenley." Justin cut in without warning. Then he saw the astonished expression of all the reporters. He pointed to lenley. "He was just showing humility, wasn't he?"

Because Langley's subsequent answer was in French, Justin could only guess.

"I mean, Langley is a born singer who gives Levine a different soul in the process of performing. No, no, don't look at me. It's not my understanding. It's Kerry's words. I don't know anything about acting. " Justin is a living treasure, full of ridicule between laughing and scolding.

Her eyes turned to Kerry. She was also helpless. "I said I would take a holiday today." The tone of complaint made everyone laugh in an instant.

"If you are interested, you can pay attention to a song in the movie and say goodbye." Kerry also opened the conversation. "On the first day we entered the production group, we were discussing the role, related melody and repertoire. Lanli used this song as a demonstration to show the level changes brought by Levine's mood changes. Joel and Ethan agreed, so the song became a highlight throughout the film

With Justin and Kerry both opening their mouths, the following questions become diverse.

The next question is Kerry Mulligan.

Kerry also deliberately complained, "Hey, it's all you. Look what you got me involved in." The tone of ridicule provoked laughter again, and then she replied, "I have to admit that Leonardo and Langley are very different actors. There are many differences in the way of cooperation, the way of acting and so on."

The question just now is one of the highlights of this year's Cannes Film Festival

Kerry, who has also starred in "the Great Gatsby" and "drunken Ballads", has cooperated with Leonardo and Langley. What's her feeling?
