Outside the car window, the lush forest slowly goes out along the road. Large areas of natural scenery show a completely different look from the city, which is gradually spread out. In addition to those yellow brown, dark black, big red and blue, green, dark green, dark green, light green, grass green and other complex green are crisscrossed in layers, From the roadside within reach to the horizon far away, the changeable and vivid colors are presented in a few strokes, which makes the language lose its color completely.
People who are familiar with lanli know that he is very, very bad at driving. Apart from being a road geek, his control of the steering wheel and accelerator is always not reassuring. It seems that he has no predestined relationship with machinery. It is estimated that all his talents are divided up by musical sense and acting skills. But this does not mean that lanli can't drive, it's just that there are not so many opportunities to sit behind the steering wheel, He can still be a driver when necessary.
Especially out of the city.
In the crowded space of chessboard street in the city, lanli's driving skills are really worrying. He also has self-knowledge and often won't get into the driver's seat; However, in the open space, where there is a vast expanse of space, lanli's ability is sufficient. As a famous country on wheels in the world, road travel in the United States is a major feature. It has the most suitable road for junior drivers in the world, with the lowest degree of difficulty.
So Langley drove out of New Orleans on his own and headed north toward Cincinnati.
He needs a little breathing time before he officially returns to Europe. According to the plan, after the "Jurassic world" is finished, he will go to Venice nonstop to start a series of work; Then he returned to North America and arrived in Toronto to cooperate with the propaganda; And then I'll go to London immediately.
In the next period of time, he needs to pull himself together and get into combat. This is strange to lanli. In his previous life, he always avoided confrontation and devoted himself to the performing world. Even Sisyphus's related work was only sporadic participation; This time, he will take the initiative to attack with all his strength, and really throw himself into the battlefield where he tried his best to escape.
What's more, it won't be a war that can be ended in a short time. After all, it was his parents. He couldn't make such a clean break, then banish them completely, and declare that things will be sealed forever. The reason why the fetters of the original family are complex is that the shackles of morality and ethics have never been so simple.
It's a long war that may never end, and he needs to pull himself together and do his best.
Before starting the war, he needs to relax himself, spend a little time alone, travel by road, and have a little free space, so that he can regain his inner peace again, even if it is just two days and one night.
Driving from New Orleans to Cincinnati takes 12 hours at the normal speed, which is definitely not an easy journey.
Fortunately, lanli was not in a hurry. He was ready to relax, so he stopped and went. He drove for about an hour or two and then stopped to have a rest. Or when he saw the wonderful scenery, he stopped to breathe the natural air, just like walking freely, It was late at night when we finally arrived in Cincinnati, which took nearly 17 hours.
Nathan helped lanli to book a hotel room in advance, and lanli successfully found the hotel location. As for the fact that after going to the city, he had to make a detour for several times, and could arrive in 15 minutes, but had to make a detour for 70 minutes, there is no need to elaborate in detail.
After taking a bath and relaxing for a while, Langley took the initiative to drink a glass of whisky. According to his habit, he avoided drinking as much as he could, and rarely took the initiative to drink alcohol. But tonight, in the short gap between shooting and shooting, he let himself relax.
It's absurd to say that a few weeks have passed since Philip came to New Orleans. However, Langley has never completely released his emotions. Instead, he has repressed all his emotions and devoted himself to the film shooting without affecting the shooting progress. Until now, he has washed away all the bitterness with a glass of whisky.
After drinking a glass of whisky, lanli fell into a deep sleep. The fatigue of the long journey broke out, and he slept until dawn.
Cincinnati's beautiful sun is not as hot as Cincinnati's summer. The light wind from the Great Lakes cools the tail of summer. The pace of the holiday also adds a little comfort. A little happiness can be satisfied. Life can always find the key to happiness.
Although Nathan inquired about the situation ahead of time, it still took lanli nearly 90 minutes to find the scene of "Carol".
Lanli is not worried about time. What he needs to worry about is his own fuel tank. He doesn't know how the fuel tank consumption is so large. He can't figure out why. This also forces him to stop at the gas station before he arrives at his destination.
This trip to Cincinnati, on the one hand, is for the road travel time alone, on the other hand, is to visit the crew.
LUNI has visited lanli's crew many times before and after, but lanli has never visited her. Of course, it's less than a year since they really established their relationship. It's not unusual that the shooting schedules are always staggered. So, when the opportunity comes up, lanli takes advantage of it.
The cast of "Jurassic world" in New Orleans is slightly different. The cast of "Carol" chose Cincinnati more because there are still many buildings left over from the 1930s and 1940s. After a little transformation, they can reproduce the urban and suburban scenes of New York in the 1950s here.
However, both groups chose the shooting method of real scene combined with studio to present the world image constructed by the script as truly as possible. However, "Jurassic world" creates space for computer special effects as much as possible; "Carol" is as close as possible to the reality of the times, the whole direction of development is different.
When Lan Li arrived at his destination according to the address, he saw the little villa in front of him.
This is a suburb on the edge of the city, not a country. Just like long island is to New York, it is slightly away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but not completely away from the bustle and bustle of the city, enjoying its own comfort in a corner. In Asia, the richer people are, the more they gather in urban centers; In the United States, the richer people are, the closer they are to the edge of a good city. In addition to the differences in culture, economy and history, the most important thing is the differences in life styles brought about by values.
In the suburbs of Cincinnati, the "Carol" crew perfectly restored the living environment of the elite class in New York in the 1950s. Looking at the small gardens and villas in front of them, Cincinnati also showed a strong New York flavor with the adjustment of those details. These small details that are hard for the audience to pay attention to will often become an important part of the film quality.
Although there is no style in North America, it's much easier to copy and paste the texture of different cities here than in Europe, real professionals can still see the differences in details, and the art guidance of "Carol" is worthy of recognition.
Just like the details of an actor's performance, those unseen parts are often the embodiment of the depth and breadth of the whole film, and excellent works can always present a deep foundation in these parts. In other words, never ignore the strong behind the scenes team of the cast. The value of a really top team will never be inferior to that of an actor or a director.
Slowly pull the car to the side, instead of rushing into the crew, lanli patiently looks for the security staff around the set to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding; After finding it, he took the initiative and said with a smile, "good morning, I'm lanli. I'm here to visit Benny Marla and Kate Blanchett. I want to ask..."
Before Lan Li's words were finished, he saw the other party's face full of consternation and bewilderment. The slightly open mouth seemed to dislocate his chin. Lan Li worried that if he didn't stop, there might be a tragedy at the scene, so he had to stop talking for a while.
"Well, do you need help?" Asked Langley kindly.
Then the short black man in front of him nodded and then shook his head. He didn't seem to know what he was doing, and finally he said, "I know you! I really know you! You! You are But stuttered a lot, but still did not say a reason.
"Lan Li." Lanli introduced himself in a friendly way.
The short man nodded in agreement. "Yes, yes, that's what I'm talking about. Yes, yes, lenley. I know you, God. I really know you. I didn't lie. Wow, you're really in Cincinnati? I mean, not long ago I saw you in the movie theater on Star Trek, and now I see you in front of me. It's really incredible. I know your name, of course I do. "
Lan Li spread out his hands. "I guess it's not a dream."
"Jesus Christ!" I'm going to scream, "I'm going to inform you now..."
"Wait, wait!" Lanli stopped him in time. "It's a surprise. I want to give them a surprise. You can confirm if it's convenient for the crew now. I'll go in and watch, and then wait for the shooting to end, so as to give them a surprise. "
