Robert Redford is on the stage.
As the founder of Sundance Film Festival, Robert's position in the industry is different; In recent years, in order to promote the development of independent films, they have left their own names in the independent film making and artistic creation circles, and the reputation of their peers can be said to be unmatched.
It can be said that Robert's love for film is beyond doubt.
Although Robert and Langley have never talked alone or in private, their common interest in movies has become the best bridge between them.
After the unexpected appearance, Robert was not in a hurry. The staff moved out another dark gray sofa, and then Robert sat down face-to-face with Langley. All aspects revealed a good sense of "planning ahead of time". It seems that Langley really stepped into a trap this time.
Later, Langley gradually reflected that even if he didn't mention Robert, the staff would certainly let Robert or the Cohen brothers appear in other ways, because this is the next link - the famous dialogue.
If it's just a one-man show, relying on the actors or directors to support the whole show, it's inevitable that it's monotonous. Not every guest can control the whole show like lanli. Today's live interaction can't be better; Therefore, in order to avoid difficulties, the organizer took the initiative to arrange a dialogue session, through the conversation of two people in the industry, to dig out more sparks.
After Robert and Langley were officially seated, they had a conversation, not between the host and the interviewee, but between the two film creators.
This is a famous couple full of sparks.
Lanli is an actor who has broken the shackles and framework in the field of performance. He is the top performer of the younger generation in terms of understanding and interpretation of performance, script and role. Even Natalie Portman and Jennifer Lawrence, the two Oscar winners of generation Y, can't be compared.
Robert is a versatile man. In 1981, he won the best picture and best director Oscars by beating Martin Scorsese's "angry bull" and David Lynch's "Elephant Man" with his first director work "ordinary man"; At the same time, he also has his own understanding in the field of actor and production.
Robert's first topic resonated with the audience.
"When we discuss the emotional introduction of performance, 'detachment' and 'drunken folk song' are two works that can't be missed. In the process of performance, the emotional state you present has become the most important part in the process of watching the film. Then, how does the director capture the performance emotion in the shooting process of these two works? "
In the same way, the first topic raised by lanli also aroused a lot of discussion.
"When shooting" the lion enters the goat's mouth ", the whole film chooses the situation of dialogue to present the story and the core appeal, so how can the film avoid becoming a stage play? How did the three actors avoid the shackles of drama in their performance? What changes has the director made at the lens level? "
Professionals and senior enthusiasts, a mouth to know if there is, the weight of ink in the chest is unable to lie. Robert and Langley are absolutely equal. They discuss and argue with each other like this.
The participants at the forum were all enjoying themselves.
It's a rare opportunity for such famous artists to talk to each other. The focus is not on whether the views of Robert and Langley can resonate, but on the way of interpretation displayed in their conversation, which provides a window to understand works of art from different angles, and then stimulates different chemical reactions in each audience's brain, and finally leads to different ideas of artistic creation.
The creation of works of art has never been in the right mode, but in a variety of interpretations, it radiates colorful vitality.
But for the netizens of the pipeline live platform, it is a kind of suffering.
The conversation between Robert and Langley is too complicated and abstruse. Most of the works mentioned in it have never been heard of, let alone the in-depth interpretation from personal perspective. All these are really unfriendly for laymen. The boring conversation content can't hold attention at all. It's like a Book of heaven, and it's hard to stick to it.
They just came to watch and eat melons, but now they are forced to sit in the same place in class. That kind of torture makes everyone come back to class.
Visible to the naked eye, the number of people watching the live broadcast online continues to decline, from 50 million to 40 million, and continues to explore the bottom line, finally falling below 30 million, barely maintaining at 29 million.
This also directly proves that the so-called popularity and attention of webcast is only a crowded crowd, which is scattered like bubbles, which is also a network characteristic of fast food era. Nevertheless, this is the first attempt of live broadcasting, and such a new form of interaction is absolutely a great success; What's more, 29 million is still easy to finish last week's Golden Globe Award, isn't it?
However, those who choose to close the page are doomed to miss it.
Robert didn't have a long conversation with Langley's famous experts, because Robert knew that the time of today's forum had been seriously overtime, and they couldn't continue to delay. Although he was itching now, he wanted to continue to have a good discussion with Langley here; But he still repressed his impulse, paid attention to the time all the time, and then took the initiative to end the topic.
"Well, if I can, I'd like to continue the discussion here, but obviously, today's forum is drawing to an end." Robert said, the scene can hear a sigh of disappointment, which makes Robert smile up, "I know, I stand with you all. But we have already seriously exceeded the time limit today. In order to prevent the actors' Union from sending protest letters, and in order to avoid the subsequent venue activities being affected, we must end it. "
Despite the reluctance, Robert remained unmoved.
"I have one last question before I officially close." Robert narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Lan Li carefully. Every move implied that the real meat was here.
"Just now in the last clip of the clip, you mentioned that if you write love poems, it's really powerful. As we all know, there have been countless poets in British history. When you studied at Cambridge University, it was the birthplace of countless romantic poems. When I discussed with other staff members of the festival, we all had a lot of curiosity. "
Robert announced the ultimate goal without delay, but Langley was full of questions: did he go around in a big circle just to make him read love poems?
Love poetry is not a big deal. Why bother? He can read poetry at any time, which is not a challenge at all. In the private gathering of nobles, they also hold special recitation meetings, such as reciting poems, reading novels, reading plays (William Shakespeare, etc.)... These are all special activities.
"So we made preparations ahead of time. We hope that at the end of the symposium, you can recite a poem and show your real British aristocracy." Robert said sincerely, "of course, the most important thing is to trigger some follow-up discussions on the social network platform, which is very important for the promotion of the film festival."
The purpose of the publicity... Actually came out like this. Honest Robert successfully attracted applause and whistles from the audience.
Robert himself can't help laughing, "there's no way, our traffic this year will all rely on blue Li, don't take the opportunity can't do."
This time, even on the oil pipeline platform, everyone laughed and said, "don't worry, we'll help forward, so that this year's Sundance doesn't have to worry about traffic."
At this time, the staff has been on the stage, handed a handout folder to Robert, Robert opened it for confirmation, and then handed it to lanli, but he did not let go, but focused on looking at lanli, "won't you refuse?"
Traps.
Robert has hinted several times. How can Langley not understand?
Seriously think about it, Lan Li had a guess, but he did not mind, gently jaw head, "of course!" Then Robert let go of his right hand, and Langley took the folder.
"Next, let Mr. Langley hall read the poem for us." Robert introduced it solemnly.
Lan Li opened the handout folder, eyebrow tail gently raised, and a shallow smile flowed from the bottom of his eyes.
Xiao Huang's poems.
So this is the trap.
But for Lan Li, this is not a trap at all, because poetry pays attention to artistic conception and emotion. Poets often express their heart in the way of imagery, which naturally includes desire; Of course, such poems can be classified as "vulgar novels" in the aristocracy, and those serious aristocrats will never read them in public, but... Now it's the 21st century.
To a slight surprise, this is the finale arranged by Robert.
Obviously, they are looking forward to seeing Lan Li break the shackles of abstinence; But what they absolutely have no way to know is that this is only the primary level for the big devil of prank.
This is a poem by e-e-cummings, an American Modernist poet. He himself is also a painter. His poem is inevitably influenced by the art of painting. It gives people a very deep visual impression. There are no capital letters - even his own name is all lowercase. He hardly uses punctuation, and his lines are like dot matrix drawing, The sense of rhythm is created by the connection between syllables.
At the same time, if capital letters are used in poetry, the hidden emotions will be released, which is the beauty of artistic creation.
His eyes fell on the poem in front of him. Instead, Lan Li restrained his emotions and showed his usual calm posture again. He raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "are you ready?"
