For the time being, I put down my life and career, including my dream, and just enjoy the moment. This has become the most comfortable and wonderful time for lanli.
For example, he met Roman Abramovich by accident in the west end of London. Although he was not sure whether it was an accident or an arrangement, he didn't mind and didn't want to explore: Roman was just chatting with him about drama, and nothing else was mentioned; As a result, Lan Li chatted about drama. From drama to philosophy, to history, they had a good conversation.
But that's all.
After the meeting in the west end of London, Roman took the initiative to send a dinner invitation to Langley, but Langley did not refuse - because Roman gave a reason why Langley could not refuse, "neighbor invitation".
Roman invited Langley to visit his mansion in London, which is located on the west side of Kensington Palace garden. It covers a large area and is only five minutes' drive away from Langley's private residence and can be easily reached on foot; However, compared with lanli, as the world's top rich, the specifications and treatment of luxury houses are naturally different. The whole floor area is more than double, and the market price is as high as 60 million pounds.
In addition, Roman settled here ten years ago, and Langley is the new resident who has just moved here. This "good neighbor of London" sincerely and enthusiastically sent out an invitation, expressing his warm welcome to the new neighbor, and Langley is happy to go.
That night, lanli also met with Dasha Zhukova, Roman's third wife. They specially invited lanli to come to appreciate an oil painting. This is a nameless painting that Dasha collected in Istanbul. She liked it very much and sent it back to her mansion in London. I hope lanli can participate in the appreciation.
This is a very common social occasion. They talked about oil painting, classical music, movies and many interesting topics. However, Roman never mentioned Sisyphus pictures, as if he really wanted to make friends with Langley, a good neighbor.
As a matter of fact, both Roman and Langley know very well that they are being patient now. It's not that they don't talk about business, but the time is not ripe; They are getting to know each other, and they are trying to find out the details. It depends on who can take the initiative.
Of course, even if the cooperation fails in the end, it is worthwhile for them to make a new friend.
Originally, lanli was ready to reciprocate and invited Roman and Dasha to visit him at his residence. Unfortunately, the work broke the peace.
"Lobster" shooting site is ready, Tessa rose will call the entire crew together, immediately into the shooting work.
In desperation, lanli could only write a letter of apology to Roman, expressing his regret and gripping, and looking forward to the next opportunity to host Abramovich and his wife; Then, Langley and Nathan, who came to London to meet, set out.
Location: Ireland.
The island, which borders on the Atlantic Ocean in the West and the Irish Sea in the East, is not as strong and distinct in the world as Britain. But in fact, the country founded by the Celts is the offspring of the first generation of residents in the European continent. Its ancient and long history can be traced back to 7000 BC. They were successively invaded by the Vikings and England, In the long years, we have been fighting for the freedom of our nation. It was not until 1949 that this country officially occupied a place in Europe.
Celtic people have a strong and clear character because of the ill fated historical scars, which is undoubtedly a breeze on the European continent.
Now, the natural environment of this island still maintains the most primitive and simple landform. It is known as "Emerald island country". The whole continent is covered with trees, rivers and grasslands. The continuous winding mountains and forests, full of green, and the whole chest and blood become fresh, It's like a little elf flying freely.
Compared with England, because of the influence of the North Atlantic warm current, Ireland has no obvious difference in the four seasons of the year. The temperature throughout the year is moderate, ranging from 0 ℃ to 20 ℃; Coupled with the warm current in the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic monsoon, there are no big ups and downs all year round, which makes Ireland very suitable for travel. The only regret is that like London, it rains more than 80% of the time all year round. Sunshine is still a luxury for residents, which inevitably makes their temperament cold and gloomy.
For historical reasons, until now, there are still many controversies about the relationship between Ireland and England. English travelers always need to pay attention to some taboos, especially in bars. Otherwise, conflicts may arise if they are not careful, and the scene is not very good.
This is not Langley's first visit to Ireland. He once came here with Matthew, Andre and others to attend the Galway Festival and bloom day, but he never made a good trip on this land. Now the memory in his mind is that he almost fell into the river lifeI after drinking in Dublin.
The main reason why the "lobster" crew chose to shoot in Ireland is to save money. In order to attract European film crew to shoot, Ireland has formulated many preferential policies; At the same time, compared with the United Kingdom, the overall shooting cost has dropped by several grades, and it is also clean, and will not be surrounded by a large number of people; Most importantly, the original natural scenery can be the perfect place for the "Utopia" in the script.
Nathan drove steadily along the road. The magnificence and magnificence of the coastline gradually remained in the rearview mirror. The continuous mountains and quiet grassland slowly spread out under the rolling wheels, and the vast green instantly occupied all the sight.
Unlike the simplicity of the United States, the delicacy of France and the old age of Britain, Ireland's natural scenery is full of a great grandeur and magnificence. Without any carving and polishing, it inherits the original landform left over from the ice age. Even the precipitousness and precipitousness of the fjords undoubtedly continue, The open and close cliffs and green grasslands tell of the scars of this land.
Stretching out his right hand, the wind glides through his fingers like a torrent of water. The temperature of the sun jumps at his fingertips. Large areas of blue, green and gold are all mixed together. They are pure and thick. The restlessness in the quiet makes the whole mind open unconsciously.
Nature can always make people relaxed and happy.
The lobster crew chose sneem, a small town under Kerry County, Ireland, as their main shooting site. Except for a few cities where the scenes will be shot in Dublin, the whole film will be completed here. They will spend about a month here.
The vehicles gallop along the path in the forest. In addition to green, the sight is still green. The cold and cold of winter fills the lungs, keeping the brain awake, looking for some fun in the layers of green, instead of being dizzy and drowsy. Then a white building shows a corner, The ancient hotel hidden in the forest appeared in the sight little by little.
The parknasilla Hotel, a resort, will be the home of the lobster crew - and the prototype of the hotel in the movie.
"Wow, we're all going to be green for a while." Nathan couldn't help sighing. When he looked out of the window, he could see the vehicles neatly placed on the parking lot - it looked like LEGO toys were neatly placed, and they fit into each square in an orderly way. The distance between them was exactly the same, it looked like an obsessive-compulsive disorder patient parking all the vehicles.
"Wow." Nathan sighed again, "why do I have a bad feeling that we are going into a strange summer camp?"
Langley didn't speak, and the smile on the corner of his mouth rose slightly: he had the same premonition that Argus and Matthew should have a lot in common. Or you can add a Wes Anderson.
Nathan stopped at the entrance of the parking lot and looked at the neat vehicles in front of him with a sad face. "I think parking should be a difficult task. You go in first and say hello to the crew. I will try my best to keep the whole chessboard clean and tidy."
Blue Li pursed the corners of his mouth. "Why don't you try to park the car casually. I think there may be a wizard next, and then help you finish all the follow-up work." Looking at Nathan's stunned expression, Lan Li raised his eyebrows and said, "you can't expect that every parking can be so perfect, can you?"
With that, leaving Nathan with a confused face, lanli leaves the car and moves towards the hotel.
At this time, a woman is dragging her luggage in front of her. She stops and raises her skirt. She seems to be resting and adjusting. When she turns around, she sees Lan Li. She shows a big smile. "Excuse me, gentleman, can you help me?"
"My pleasure." Blue Li raised his voice to respond, "you just wait there. I'll follow you. I mean, one day. " The second half of the sentence is a cold joke.
The woman pursed the corners of her mouth and spread out her right hand. "One day." In this way, she responded to Langley's joke, and then she explained, "there's something wrong with my back compartment. My assistant needs to find a garage, but these bags are what I need in a moment. So... "
She didn't finish, but the meaning was obvious: that explained why she was dragging her suitcase alone.
"Not bad. I thought it was a body inside. Because it looks very, very heavy. I can finally breathe a sigh of relief now. " Lan Li said solemnly.
