Reporter: "Lan Li, do you feel sorry for missing the main competition unit of this year's Venice Film Festival?"

Lenley: "no, of course not. I always think that the film festival is a special tactical platform. The important thing is that all the films, filmmakers and film lovers come together to feel the charm of the film. This is the only shining point. It's my honor to be an opening film and let the audience come into the cinema to watch this work. I still have to thank Venice for the invitation. "

Reporter: "master lanli, you have not been able to participate in the main competition unit of Venice this year, which also means that you do not hope to compete for your own grand slam of the three major European film festivals. What do you think about this?"

Lanli: "ha, I'm relieved. Now, at least, journalists won't pester me about the chance of a grand slam. But obviously, I need to wait. "

Reporter: "so, will you return to Venice next year to compete for the main competition unit?"

Lenley: "personally, I'd love to. But it's not up to me, it's up to the director. My ability still needs to be explored by the director. So, if there are still excellent directors preparing new works, please feel free to contact my agent. My latest schedule is open. "

Reporter: "before Cannes and Venice went through the film review, there was a rumor that 'gravity' is an epoch-making work, in which you once again gave a wonderful performance, even as good as' drunken folk songs'. What do you think of missing this opportunity for Venice to compete for the best male performer?"

Lan Li: "since the work is so wonderful, I hope the audience can enjoy it in the cinema. This is my biggest affirmation and praise."

Reporter: "what about winning the prize?"

Lenley: "I personally hope that the director Alfonso Caron can get more attention. This is a work about directors. All the talent and all the brilliance come from the director's fantastic ideas, and I'm just a part of the whole work of directors. If you pay too much attention to my performance, then it's a small personal regret. "

Reporter: are you looking forward to winning the grand slam

Lanli: No, it won't

Reporter: "if you can finish a grand slam one day, when do you want to be?"

Lenley: "I don't cross my fingers and pray. Compared with Grand Slam, I am more looking forward to my career can continue for a long time, then, maybe one day, what should happen will happen. And it's much more fun than starting to set a goal that's focused right now. I'm not sure you know, but in fact, I'm not over 30 this year. "

Reporter: "I can see that you are very happy to come to Venice this time. Is there any special reason?"

Lan Li: "of course, first of all, it's a beautiful city. I once left a very good memory here. Now it's a pleasure to be able to come back again; Second, "gravity" is coming soon. To be honest, I'm looking forward to it as much as you. Alfonso has put a lot of effort into post production, and I haven't been able to see the finished product yet; Third, I've just finished shooting a film, which is a work worth looking forward to. "

……

Every reporter can really feel that Lan Li's mood is really relaxed and happy. He always keeps a bright smile between the interviews. His tone is relaxed and his expression is free. The humor between the lines softens the dazzling afternoon sunshine of Shuicheng.

It's a pity that the on-site interview didn't last long after all, because the reporters at the scene were yelling at each other and couldn't bear it. In the sound of the waves, the question and answer burst out a kind of visual sense of singing folk songs, which was unbearable.

The funniest part is that it's not difficult for lanli to make a voice, because the basic stage skills require Dantian to make a voice. We can't just rely on our throat to shout and use our strength to penetrate the voice. But this is not a theater after all. The transmission range of lanli's voice is still limited, and the reporters at the far end still can't hear it clearly——

As a result, they were just like lunatics, yelling and not listening clearly, so they were abandoned. In the end, they could only record the grand occasion in front of them through the camera, and then get news materials from their colleagues, and write today's current report on their own.

There was some confusion.

But... This is Venice. After half a century of chaos, it's the 70th anniversary of this year.

Turning around, Lan Li couldn't help looking at the villa in front of him.

In the blink of an eye, ten years seems to pass quietly. However, the sea is still the sea and the building is still the building.

It's like the moldy spots blooming on the walls, the Canna growing vigorously at the door, the threshold and doorsill that can't be recovered after being corroded by the sea, and the eaves that have accumulated layers of mud and rain, And the faint fragrance of lilies in the air is always stained with an imperceptible smell of decay

The power of time is so powerful that it is almost invincible; But the power of memory is between a breath, will fill the gap of ten years and complete, instantly back to those green years, as if everything has not changed. Involuntarily, Langley thought of the core theme of "Star Trek".

Following the silhouette of the side backlight, lanli saw Matthew standing on the right side of the door. He could only see a vague outline of his face.

In a trance, Lan Li seemed to see them in their youth again, green and tender, young and lively. But in his young skin, there lived an old soul, and a kind of illusion of God's perspective sprouted in a moment; Now that they are all grown up, he seems to be young.

"Sebastian?" Matthew's voice came from the surging waves, breaking Lan Li's mind from far to near, "what's the matter, standing in the same place? Is there anything wrong? "

Sebastian. With a word of address, they really went back to the depth of their memory. It seems that from the time of Venice, they realized that Langley was not used to being called "Sebastian".

Because George and Elizabeth are always used to call them this way, the so-called middle name is like a barrier, separating the closely connected families into independent individuals. After that, they gradually began to change the name, but occasionally on special occasions or important occasions, the name "Sebastian" was given a different meaning.

Nothing has changed, but the people who stay in the late summer afternoon have changed.

"You are much older than you were ten years ago." He said jokingly.

Matthew was slightly stunned. He replied solemnly, "eight years."

Lanli didn't know why.

"Eight years. The last time we came to Venice was eight years ago." Matthew further explained.

Sure enough, numbers are not Langley's strong point, memories seem to have become blurred, he did not mind, but said with a smile, "for details of obsessive-compulsive disorder, you are still the same, I can now be sure that you are still the Charles."

Then, lanli and Matthew step into the villa in front of them.

It's called villa. In fact, in lanli's opinion, it's more like a courtyard.

You can see a stone wall and shadow wall when you cross the threshold of the gate. Even if you open the gate, you can isolate the line of sight outside; Around the screen wall, there is a spacious courtyard

On the right hand side, a small garden is designed with a small rockery, which makes it feel like a humble garden in the south of the Yangtze River. On the left hand side, there is an open space. If you like, you can put a table here every morning and enjoy breakfast in the sunshine.

On the left, near the gate, there are stairs leading to the second and third floors. The third floor is built around a square, forming a spacious sense of patio. The first floor is where the servants live, and the second floor is where the host and guests live. There are two large rooms and four small rooms, with four independent toilets; Finally, the third floor has another purpose.

In addition to the two spare rooms, the main space on the third floor is used as piano room, dance room and studio. Even during the holidays, the nobles had their own ways to relax, especially in Venice——

Come to the resort, peel off the shackles of noble etiquette, drunk, singing and dancing, this is the real relaxation. Noblemen always like to hold all kinds of parties, or in a lazy afternoon, gather the girls and young women in the street to come to the house, undress, sketch and other activities, which is also a special indulgence.

"Remember? It was there that Andre threw down the suitcase of the daltons' youngest son. The flying shirts and underpants are really spectacular. " Blue Li can't help but think of those young frivolous trend.

Matthew remembered, "and then Eaton said, it's called performance art."

"And then you instigated the Dalton kid to throw down Eaton's suitcase." Lan Li chuckled, as if he could still see Eaton's depressed face.

Matthew turned his head and looked at lanli seriously. "Are you sure the memory is correct?" The person who constantly stirs up the flames is clearly the devil next to him. Even the contradiction between Andre and those dandies is also provoked by this guy.

"Cough." Lan Li coughed two times and looked away calmly.

Not far away, James Duncan, the old housekeeper of the Duke of Hamilton, took the right opportunity and walked forward. "Welcome home, master Langley, master Matthew."

"Oh, James, you're always so sweet." Blue Li showed a bright smile, "how is your health?"? Last time I heard from Philip, you seem to have a little trouble. "

"Don't worry, everything is OK." Said James Duncan, bending slightly.
