Roy can vaguely detect the solemnity of his mother, which also makes Langley different. Although Roy does not understand the specific reasons, he still expresses his politeness, "Mr. Langley, please follow me."
Emma's intervention failed Langley's act of approachment, and the title still remained unchanged. But this time, Langley did not correct Roy, but asked with a smile, "so, the game you were playing, are you an air force or a navy?"
"Air force!" Roy yelled cheerfully, and his feet could not help jumping, but he realized that he was over excited, and then forced himself to calm down. "We're just playing."
"A lot of things start with playfulness. Including dreams and careers. " Lanli didn't say much. He just nodded to Roy. Then, the two of them had already arrived at their destination, not a room, but a backyard porch.
While Roy was pushing the back door, flora trotted all the way to chase her. She supported the screen door with her hands and tried her best to push the door. Roy also carefully controlled her strength and helped flora push the screen door. Then she could see that little girl looked up and looked at Lan Li eagerly for praise.
Lan Li couldn't help smiling, "thank you, young lady."
This immediately makes flora shy, turns around and runs away, the sound of stepping reveals uncontrollable joy, and the light laughter leaks out.
Then Langley looked at Roy again. "Thank you, Roy."
The older boy seemed more calm and nodded politely to Lan Li, as if he wanted to say something. However, he swallowed the words when he thought that it was important for the guests to come and visit.
After watching lanli walk into the porch, Roy stands in the same place and jumps slightly twice, trying to explore again, but he is not sure what he wants to explore. Maybe it's about the air force and Navy, maybe it's about the title, maybe it's just curiosity and intimacy.
Roy felt that the actor he visited today seemed a little different from the others.
Then the two brothers ran down and joked with Roy, "Mr. Nolan, ha ha, you are Mr. Nolan."
The atmosphere immediately brightened up again, and Roy was startled. In order to avoid disturbing his father's conversation, he quickly turned away with his two younger brothers.
Meanwhile, Langley had come out into the corridor.
Wearing a simple tennis shirt and jeans, Christopher Nolan sits on a armchair and quietly looks in front of him. There is steaming coffee on the coffee table at hand. The faint aroma of coffee is dense in the thick water vapor, isolating the rain and noise outside the porch, leaving a peaceful and beautiful world under the eaves.
This kind of routine, Langley is very familiar with, because Philip's morning is like this. Of course, Christopher may be more relaxed and more casual.
Without greeting, Langley sat down in the armchair on the other side of Christopher, quietly enjoying the continuous rain.
Christopher seems to be immersed in his own thoughts, suddenly come back to mind, this just noticed the blue Li, "sorry, just a little distracted, when did you arrive?" After that, Christopher responded, "Oh, this is our first formal meeting, isn't it? I haven't introduced myself yet. "
"I think we can skip this step. After all, I'm sitting in your home now. It seems too late to introduce myself now." Lanli was not too polite either. Then he looked around like he was in his own home. Then he found the coffee pot and coffee cup and opened the clean coffee cup——
Normally, coffee cups will be placed in the kitchen, rather than in the tea tray like tea cups; But now, Christopher has put clean coffee cups, sugar and condensed milk on the low table in the middle. It can be seen that from the beginning, he is going to entertain blue rite here.
Of course, there's a very small possibility that Christopher and Emma are going to have a good morning here. However, today's meeting is a personal negotiation between Christopher and Langley, so it's unlikely.
Noticing lanli's action, without waiting to go any further, Christopher took the initiative to pick up the coffee pot and pour a cup of coffee for lanli. The warm aroma of coffee made the dense water vapor in the air begin to roll.
"There are four kids in the house. They are always very noisy. I hope you don't mind." Christopher still kept his manners and said politely. It can be seen that he is not humorous. In the face of lenley's light humor, he did not give a positive response.
However, Lan Li was not surprised. After all, this was the first formal meeting between the two people. The conversation style and rhythm still need to be adjusted slowly. "Children are always special. Sometimes they always feel that time passes very slowly on them. Life is like a year. But one day, before they have time to savor it, they grow up overnight. Only then do they realize the rapid passage of time, But I have missed the best time, so when I have the chance, I still need to accompany my children
"Oh? You think so, too? " Christopher turned over and looked at him curiously. "I thought you belonged to the younger generation. You didn't become a parent. You didn't feel like a parent at last."
"Ha, to be clear, I really don't have children." Blue Li raised his hands to make a surrender, once again joked, Christopher still did not smile, "but, I'm still a child, so I know what I want." However, there is no self pity between the words of sadness, but with a little light ridicule.
Christopher froze a little, then burst out laughing happily, "I like your sense of humor. Although I know that these words are for work, I have to say that your skills are very good, and I don't resent them. "
Lan Li was surprised to pick eyebrow, "how to say?"
"Children and time. This is the core of my film creation. If it's not for work, you obviously don't talk to people about these things. " With a relaxed look on his face, Christopher said lightly, "everyone says that Langley hall is very smart. Now I have a little idea."
So that's why. Maybe Christopher lacks a sense of humor, maybe he is a relatively old scholar, but the real reason why he always keeps serious in today's conversation is that he keeps vigilant in his work.
From an unknown British director to a hot top director, Christopher has been very steady all the way. From "following" to "memory fragments" and then to "Batman", he has almost completed the triple jump step by step. He knows more clearly than anyone the important role of strength and social interaction, and naturally has more vigilance.
What's more, flattery in Hollywood's vanity fair is also the norm, and it's hard to avoid tiredness. Some people enjoy it and never tire of it; However, some people keep a distance and hate it. It's hard to see whether Christopher likes it or dislikes it, but anyway, he has formed his own fixed ideas.
Lanli didn't retort, and didn't yell injustice - although he was really impressed by the four little guys, he was used to the "noble" who always thought that other people had a purpose to approach him, so he didn't have to defend, but said, "so, my agent told me, Do you define this movie as "Othello"? Is that true? "
"Othello" is the first marine adventure novel in human history. It is composed by Homer, and together with "Iliad", it constitutes the most important epic of ancient Greece, "Homer's epic".
The story tells the story of Odysseus' ten-year experience on the sea. It is narrated in a flashback way in the 40 days when he is close to home. The ten-year thrilling and perilous experience still fails to stop Odysseus' faith of going home and his perseverance of longing to return to his wife and children, which makes a personal epic.
This work is known as the foundation of Western literature.
In a sense, "interstellar crossing" is the same. Cooper is wandering in the vast outer space. His only belief is that he is eager to go home. He overcomes numerous difficulties and returns to his daughter. The dislocation of time and space endows this journey with unparalleled epic significance.
Since Christopher thinks it's a job, Langley goes straight to the point. There's no need for polite greetings.
Christopher didn't answer immediately. Instead, he met lanli seriously. He seemed to be digesting lanli's change and the intention behind it. After a moment's silence, he said, "what if that's true?"
"Then I think it's a failure of the script." "Or, it's the editor's limitation," he said sincerely
"The writer is right in front of you." Christopher narrowed his eyes, his tone still rigid.
Langley shrugged. "It won't change my answer, but I think we can have a good talk."
Christopher was silent, raised his right hand, supported his chin, and cast an inquiring gaze at blue Li. It seemed that no matter what blue Li said, he was ready to criticize and attack.
Lanli knew that the time had come for him to explain. At the same time, it was an important time to talk about work.
"Othello is a personal eulogy after all. It praises the tenacity and greatness of one's heart, and the emotional fetters of family become the driving force and energy to conquer nature; But now this project is about the smallness of human beings. In the face of the long river of time, all our efforts and struggles are small. Time can be folded or stretched, but it can't flow backwards. Therefore, we must be responsible for our own choices, even if the end is destruction. "
Suddenly, Langley stopped.
