"Dang! Dang! Dang
Big Ben's time chime reverberates over the Thames River. It seems that the simple and resonant chime can still capture the charm and precipitation of the long history. People can't help but stop, pause the busy and crowded life for a moment, quietly enjoy this brief moment of peace of mind, and leave themselves a moment of peace, even if it's just the moment of ringing the bell.
But in real life, few people in London, an international metropolis full of people, have time or leisure to stop. Like a torrent of torrents, their daily life keeps pushing forward and stops at a certain moment of a day without warning, Only in this way can we notice the different faces of the fragments we take for granted in our life.
Langley and Emma were quiet, listening attentively to the bell.
From nine o'clock, it's already twelve o'clock in the twinkling of an eye.
Immersed in the conversation, lanli didn't notice the passage of time at all. Three hours seemed to be just a blink of an eye. The only change was that a pot of coffee on the table had been changed.
It has to be said that in Hollywood's vanity fair starlight, Christopher Nolan and his wife are indeed a strange couple. They still maintain their ordinary daily life, and their children and family always live a simple and even simple life, which is in sharp contrast to the Beckhams and kardashians.
Of course, these are two different ways of education and life. There is no superiority or criticism, only choice and adaptation.
When the bell stopped, both lanli and Emma didn't have a special look, and they didn't feel strange. It seemed that they just stopped to listen to the bell.
"For Chris, that's part of his growing up life." Emma said with a smile, "so even if he doesn't have a mobile phone or a watch, his life won't be disturbed too much."
Lanli's eyebrows rose slightly. "Then he must be very, very unaccustomed to life in Los Angeles." Not only because there is no big Ben, but also because there are all kinds of modern prosperous scenes.
Emma understood in a moment, and laughed happily, "he's not so old-fashioned, otherwise, there's no way to make the visual effects of the movie. He's just... Old school. "
"Certainly. So, what's his opinion on IMAX? " Lan Li asked seriously.
IMAX film is one of the most advanced photography technologies, which can bring the best visual experience. Christopher is one of the most famous IMAX supporters in Hollywood. During the "Dark Knight" period, IMAX film was used for 30 minutes to complete the shooting.
Obviously, IMAX and the old school are two antonyms. The banter hidden in lanli's words is really profound, which makes Emma spread out her hands, reluctantly surrender, and then send out a friendly invitation, "time is almost up, I don't know if we have the honor to invite you to lunch?"
Generally speaking, lunch time should be around one o'clock in the afternoon. However, the present time is not very good. It's just 12 o'clock, and it's in a transitional period of staying and catching up. Emma chose to stay at home after all, although they usually don't have the opportunity to invite a hereditary aristocrat to come home for dinner every day. It seems that ordinary home cooking is a bit impolite.
"Thank you for the invitation." But unfortunately, my lunch has been agreed, and my stay has exceeded expectations. Now it seems that I can only wait for the next time. I hope this is not our last conversation, and I hope this is not my last visit. But thank you very much for the coffee and the hospitality. "
"Really? That's a pity. " Emma sincerely said, "but I'm a little relieved. I was just worried about whether the ingredients in the refrigerator are enough. It seems that it's too late to go to the supermarket now. If the lunch is too simple, it's too impolite."
A little joke, you can see that Emma is a little more relaxed than when she just met. Between the words, Emma always noticed the hidden meaning of the surname hall; But the tension and prudence of solemnity are receding. That's a good thing.
"As far as I know, the queen is not a delicacy every day." Lanli said in a very serious tone. Emma reacted for a moment and then laughed happily.
Langley and Emma both stood up and left the back porch.
"Are you going to leave now?" Emma made a plea to stay again.
"The traffic in London is not as bad as that in New York, but it's enough to make people headache. In order to avoid missing the appointed time for lunch, I need to start now. What's more, it's definitely not easy to prepare children's lunch. I should leave more time for you. "
"Hoo, you are reminding me of a cruel reality." Emma can't help her.
As she spoke, there was a disorderly sound of footsteps in the direction of the living room. Flora ran to the corner of the living room and the corridor. Her round eyes were turning and looking at Lan Li curiously, but she didn't say anything. Without warning, she turned around and ran to the other side of the stairs, In the twinkling of an eye, it disappeared in the sight.
Emma noticed Langley's surprised gaze. She shrugged. "I don't understand what happened. Well, the children's world is so different from what they imagined. Even though she is the fourth, I am still learning. "
"When we lose that childlike innocence, we will never find it back?" In fact, sometimes things are not so simple, but they are not so complicated. I don't know if you've heard of Maurice Sendak, who once published children's illustration books. In the 1960s, he presented the children's world. I think we can find some inspiration. "
"Morris sanddock?" Emma cast her eyes curiously.
"Yes, the 2009 illustration was also made into a movie, 'home of the beast,' by spike Jones." Lan Li made a sincere introduction.
"I can see that you really like children very much," she said
"They always have what we have lost, youth, innocence, childlike innocence, enthusiasm and simplicity." Langley not only did not deny it, but also said frankly, "the reason why Peter Pan didn't want to grow up, I always think, is not because he was greedy for the happiness of childhood, but because he escaped the cruelty and coldness of adulthood. But sometimes I can't tell the difference between the two. "
As they speak, Langley and Emma are already at the door, and Christopher appears.
"Roy, Oliver, manus, come and say goodbye to the guests." Emma's eyes caught the children's figure, so she raised her voice.
Langley was not polite either. He stood and waited with a smile. Then he saw three boys in front of Christopher. After waving goodbye, Oliver and manus disappeared as soon as they turned around. Only a series of laughter reverberated in the room. Roy was a little flustered and immediately turned to chase his brothers.
Emma and Christopher's expressions were a little stiff, but Langley chuckled. "I think maybe there are such moments in Cooper's memories, some helpless and some happy daily life."
After that, Lan Li put on his coat again, picked up his umbrella again, and then pushed the door open. Under the eyes of Nolan and his wife, he walked away.
"What? What does his last remark mean? " Emma looks at her husband curiously.
Christopher breathed out, "about the script content of the project. I need to call Jonathan
"He's an excellent screenwriter, too?" Emma was a little surprised. Of course, he was lanli.
"No, he's a terrible screenwriter. There's no real use for all the fancy ideas." Christopher Tucao Tucao to make complaints about it, "but he is a good top actor. I don't know what his ideas will collide with, but I really need to talk to Jonathan
Then Christopher turned and walked to his study.
Emma is still standing at the door, looking at the drizzle in front of her, and she can't help thinking about this morning again.
As a matter of fact, nothing can be determined now. Whether lanli can play "Star Trek" smoothly, which company should invest in "Star Trek", how to allocate the specific shooting and later division of labor, and how to complete the selection of other cast casts. The most important thing is that, Whether lanli's film payment proposal can be passed or not... Everything is still up in the air.
Emma further thought of two other projects directly or indirectly related to Thomas Toure, "Jurassic Park" and "speed and passion". The situation is similar, which also means that the turbulence and tail force brought by Warner Brothers' high-level power struggle will continue for some time, and the specific results are still unpredictable.
But Emma can't help but think about what the crew's shooting will look like after Lanley joined Star Trek?
Maybe that's the charm of Langley?
Slowly, Emma closed the door, turned around and saw Roy standing not far away, "what's the matter?"
Roy thought about it, then turned around, but then stopped again and asked hesitantly, "that gentleman, is he an actor?"
Nolan's children are not isolated from the world. They also watch movies and have spare time. It's just that the works that Langley has starred in so far are either independent films with too much literary flavor, or action films with too much adrenaline, which are not very close to their taste of watching movies. Let alone Roy, even Christopher and Emma have never watched them.
Emma definitely nodded, "yes, what's the matter?"
Instead of answering the question, Roy went on to ask, "so, is he going to shoot dad next?"
"This is our plan." Emma gave a positive answer.
Roy nodded hard, but after all, he didn't say anything, turned and left.
Emma was confused: did she miss anything?
