Open the door, melodious and quiet Cello Concerto is lingering, apricot yellow light like a gurgling stream flowing down, Yingying halo will be in sight of all the furniture are covered with a layer of hazy butter color, dark blue and cold night so left behind the heel, the whole world of noise and chaos so slowly settled down.
"Back?" Sitting cross legged on the sofa, Rooney Marla raised her head, put the book she was reading on her lap, and raised her mouth to Langley.
Blue Li gently jaw head, foot stay in the porch next to, between eyebrows residual fatigue so little by little melting in the warmth of the room, "what are you reading?"
"Rumor school." Rooney set up the book in her hand and showed it to lenley.
Involuntarily, the smile on the corner of his mouth rose, and Lan Li's eyes flashed slightly. "This book in your hand is a gift given to me by Matthew when I finished the suspension procedure of Cambridge University. His acronym should be found on the inside page of the book, just like an egg hidden in a corner. Only when I read it carefully can I find it. The one I collected at first should be in Matthew Notting Hill's apartment now. "
There was a touch of curiosity in her eyes. "Oh, it sounds like there's a story in it."
"Ha." Lan Li chuckled, "it's the story in the script. When I was still in Eaton, I once locked my English teacher out of the classroom on purpose, then stood on the stage and began to perform the play. Believe me, Mr. Stanley would never like to see this scene through the window. He came to the headmaster in a rage. "
"Wow Rooney exclaimed, "I think Mr. Stanley made a wrong decision."“ The vampire prank of gravity is still spreading far in Hollywood.
A week later, I read the play on the radio. Andre and Matthew blocked the door of the broadcasting room. You should have seen all the teachers and supervisors beating the door of the broadcasting room madly. Later, Eaton made a picture of that day
"Ha ha." Rooney chuckled. "What do you do? I'm starting to wonder about your high school career now. "
"Not so popular. Besides the teachers, other students are not too satisfied with my behavior of reading "rumor making school" on the radio. They think I'm satirizing them. " Lanli said frankly.
Rooney thought seriously. "I can't refute it."
Langley shrugged. "They're not as stupid as I thought they were."
Rooney nodded meaningfully. "I'm beginning to feel sorry for those reporters. They still don't understand who their opponents are."
"Who?" Blue ceremony eyebrow tail lightly a Yang, the eye bottom circulates to put on a joke.
Rooney raised her chin and snorted. She didn't answer, as if to say: I won't be fooled. Then he bowed his head again, opened the book and continued to read.
Lan Li's smile at the bottom of his eyes caught on the corner of his mouth. He didn't say anything more. He raised his feet and walked towards the bathroom. Today is diaowiya and his mood is fluctuating. His personal clothes are wet, dry and wet. Now his whole body feels heavier and heavier. He needs a hot bath to relax.
"Rumor school" is actually a play, not a novel, written by Richard Sheridan, a famous British social comedy writer. George Byron highly praised it.
Richard Sheridan's family background is not significant, but he has also entered the upper class. His father is a professional dramatist and writer. He is well-known in the industry, which also enables him to study in Harrow School, which keeps pace with Eton school; But after graduation, he still did not climb up and further into the upper class society, but returned to the drama circle in a down-to-earth way, which makes his works often able to capture the sharp differences between different classes.
For the professionals in the drama circle, Richard Sheridan is second only to William Shakespeare as an excellent playwright. Among them, "rumor school" is his peak work, which was created in 1777.
This play mainly tells the story of the noble men and women in the upper class of England. Because they have nothing to do, they make rumors every day, specially destroy other people's reputation and family, and even set up a "rumor school". The core of the story revolves around two noble brothers with different personalities.
My younger brother is a prodigal prodigal, but he is kind-hearted and true; But the elder brother is a gentleman who is obedient and full of benevolence, righteousness and morality on the surface, but in fact he is a greedy and hypocritical villain. After several tests, the true temperament of the two brothers finally showed in front of the people. The whole process is full of climax and fun, and the comedy effect is really excellent.
Through this farce, Richard Sheridan shows the vanity, greed and hypocrisy of the British upper class.
It was as far back as 1777, which means that as early as the end of the 18th century, with the rise of drama and novels, the British aristocracy was facing constant provocation, and the contradictions between classes also led to many wonderful works; But in the 21st century, there is still no essential improvement in the same situation.
Against this background, Langley's mischief at Eton school became vivid, and now he can still depict the chaotic scene at that time.
Lanli didn't stay in the bathroom for a long time. Although he took a hot bath to relax his muscles, it only lasted less than half an hour. Then lanli appeared in the hall again, covered with steaming steam, and wiped his dripping hair with a bath towel.
Lu Ni looks up at Lan Li in front of her, barefoot and white T-shirt. She seems to be quietly disarmed, and the fatigue and laziness between her eyebrows flow out slowly. She can't help but think of Paul lying on the hospital bed again. She knows that Lan Li will go to the hospital soon, so she puts the "rumor school" beside her, He held out his right hand to Lan Li, "come here, I'll help you."
Langley stood in the same place, a little hesitant, but his spirit was so tired that he could not think about the disguises any more. He walked over barefoot, turned around, turned his back to the sofa, sat down cross legged in front of Rooney, and hung the towel on his head, just like the Arabian costume in the Middle East.
Through the towel, Rouni gently wiped the wet hair, and then put a little force on her fingertips to massage lanli's scalp. The technique was clumsy and not very skillful, but the warmth of her palms was passed down through the towel and hair bit by bit, which made lanli slowly close her eyes.
There was no conversation, but the warm air was flowing in the room. Lanli was almost half asleep and half awake. His physical strength and energy were overdrawn all day long. Even though he had just fallen asleep in the car for a while, it was still not enough to relieve his fatigue. Now he is more and more sleepy after relaxing.
Lan Li half closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "how is your day?"
"In the morning, I went to the hospital to visit Paul and met Jack. We stayed in the hospital for nearly an hour; Later, I went to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities. The supermarket did some activities today. I bought a lot of kitchen paper and toilet paper, and then I bought a lot of towels. "
"Then I thought about it. What do you think of spaghetti for dinner? I just called Amy Adams. Do you know she was born in Italy? I asked about the sauce of spaghetti, and she personally sent me a large bottle of sauce made by her mother at home, which is the taste of Authentic Italy. "
"In the afternoon, when I came back, um... I watched a movie, the whale circus, in which many scenes were very interesting."
LUNI talked about the trivial things in her daily life, but it made lanli feel very comfortable. Until her familiar topic appeared, she added, "the whole movie only has 39 shots, but it lasted nearly 150 minutes, all of which are long shots."
"I think the most powerful thing about tal is that he can't see too many traces in his long lens. You won't notice that those are long lenses, but the whole sense of narration flows out. This kind of lens language ability is really admirable. " Rooney nodded in agreement.
Bela Tarr, a famous Hungarian director, has always been dedicated to the exploration of medium shot and long shot, and has his own obsession with film language.
"But I don't like it very much." "Of course, he is a very special director. His lens can often deliver shock without any sound. The violent part in the second half of the "whale circus" is really admirable for its powerful power in silence. It's a real movie that tells the story and spirit with lens. His lens language has self-consciousness, which requires people to have a better understanding of those philosophical thoughts and those social reflections before they can understand it. Otherwise, they can only cruise outside the door
Rooney pondered for a moment. "No, I don't think so. I think his lens language itself has a shocking force, and it doesn't need to understand or go deep, so the mind can calm down. "
"I agree. He is always keen to explore the philosophy of life with his own lens. You can see him again... Er, it should be the horse of Turin in 2011, which corresponds to the seven days when God created the world to explore destruction. But I prefer Theo Angelopoulos's use of the lens. It's not that we can't use long lens, but long lens itself should have its own philosophical thinking, or Nuri bilge Ceylan can also be used as a reference. "
Langley and Rooney sit quietly in front of the sofa, talking about the film and director, performance and art. You can hold your own opinions, occasionally find resonance, and sometimes argue endlessly.
