Chapter 2348

"So?"

Amidst the noise of cloud fragrance, temples and toasting, Edith, holding a glass of champagne, leans lazily and casually on the side of the door panel with half a shoulder, hiding her figure in the position of light and shadow, with a faint look of irritability and tiredness, and the stubborn and uninhibited look in her eyes is critically looking at the people coming and going at the banquet scene, In an indifferent bystander's attitude, quietly appreciate the struggle of all living beings.

Standing in the shadow beside is Lan Li, who carefully hides his figure. In the focus of the audience, he stealthily takes a moment to breathe some fresh air. Under the cover of the night, Los Angeles is full of lights, which is quiet and serene.

A "so", is actually Edith is asking Langley's feelings tonight.

Lanli didn't answer immediately. He held the whiskey glass in his hand and turned it gently. It seemed that he was looking at the whole scene through the amber luster. The refraction of the light made those images distorted and weird, just like the world seen through the mirror. There was a kind of fantastic humor.

"Now I'm hoping that I won't win tonight." Lanli gave an unexpected answer, with a trace of self mockery in his calm voice.

But Edith was not surprised at all. Instead, she gently pursed the corners of her mouth, and her eyes showed a trace of banter. "Sometimes, I also thought about whether things would be different if I didn't go to the front line."

There was a shallow laugh deep in his throat. "So, what's your answer?"

"Maybe." Edith raised her champagne glass and sipped. "It's like an ostrich."

When the ostrich is in danger, they will bury their heads in the sand, blind their eyes and pretend that the danger does not exist; But everyone knows that the danger has not disappeared, not only has it not, but it can also have devastating consequences.

That's what Edith means.

She can escape to the front line and pretend that it never happened, then she can still enjoy her comfortable life, but those problems will not disappear, and may become the beginning of destroying the life they insist on guarding. So, she does not regret, she still adhere to their beliefs.

Lanli, it's the same.

"Are you pretending to make complaints about the ostrich?" Lanli chuckled, but Edith didn't comment. But she gave lanli a look, but it was obvious. Lanli pursed the corners of her mouth and admitted, "to be honest, I'm a selfish guy. I just want to be an actor, a pure actor. I didn't want to be a savior, I didn't want to change history. Those things, though great, need to pay too much. "

"Your subtext is, this is your destiny? So you became the one who drew the sword out of the stone? " Edith rolled a big white eye.

Lan Li couldn't help laughing happily. "I wish I didn't, too." This is the same as default, default oneself pulled out the sword in the stone.

Edith thought about it, but he still did not make complaints about it. "We hope for many things, but there is no way to achieve it. At least, you have achieved a large part of it, so you should stop complaining and take up your responsibility. "

"... it's nothing like Edith hall. Where's the rebellious girl I know?" Blue Li make complaints about it.

"In your heart." Edith gave a counterattack from the front, which made both brothers and sisters laugh.

After the award ceremony, both lenley and Edith knew clearly that the rise of "pop drummer" meant that Sisyphus film's responsibilities became heavier and heavier. At the same time, lenley's conception of last year's Sundance Film Festival was initially revealed. It seemed that the spring of independent film had finally begun, The blueprint background of Don Quixote channel has been successfully established, and the plan can start slowly.

Next, Sisyphus film needs to carry out in-depth development in the Hollywood industry in the name of Langley, mobilize more independent film forces to join them as far as possible, and accumulate enough strength to promote earth shaking changes in the industry.

What they expect is not to change the industry rules through streaming media, but to open up a new way for art films through streaming media.

Therefore, Sisyphus film needs to let other Hollywood employees understand that Don Quixote channel is not the enemy, but another choice.

As the initiator of the whole plan, Langley personally promoted the development of the whole event. Now, he has to shoulder such a huge and heavy responsibility, which is the reason for the above conversation between Langley and Edith.

However, lanli did not expect that the "pop drummer" could reach the top so quickly. The opportunity for independent film to open up the situation came so quickly. The pressure of sudden surge directly pushed lanli to the top of the storm. It seemed that the process of everything began to accelerate.

This kind of pressure is mainly reflected in the excitement of the Oscar night. Originally, lanli, who was the focus of the whole audience, even had no breathing space. After nearly an hour of continuous busy work, he temporarily escaped from the predicament with the help of Edith and Rooney.

Now, Edith and lenley are chatting, while Rooney is helping to cover up, but still can see countless eyes looking for lenley at the scene.

"Would you like to push Sisyphus out if you could do it all over again?" Edith asked curiously.

It seemed that Edith could make complaints about the eyes of the blue ritual Tucao, and he added quickly, "please don't ask me the same question. I'm still confused. I can't answer it. "

Lan Li's smile overflowed, "please don't rush to answer." Then he succeeded in winning Edith's eye. Instead of giving an answer immediately, he thought for a moment, "the answer is yes." But then he added, "I guess." Express your uncertainty.

In fact, lanli can continue to stick to his dream of acting and keep a small world. He can have a perfect career without any worries. Just like Daniel Day Lewis, he can be a pure actor and perform until he retires.

But when he thinks about it, Langley knows that his achievements today are inseparable from don Quixotes. They are tirelessly supporting his dream and going forward side by side. His strength and enthusiasm can not be expressed by words alone. He needs to act on his own.

Don Quixote in the novel and Sisyphus in the myth all end in tragedy

After the bubble of Don Quixote's dream was mercilessly pierced, he died of regret and loneliness at home. On his deathbed, he had doubts about his life; Sisyphus, on the other hand, was forever trapped in a cycle of no solution, unable to escape or give up until the day of exhaustion.

Without the support of those dreamers, will Langley follow Don Quixote and Sisyphus? After all, at the beginning of the story, he was just a stupid dreamer.

However, Langley successfully broke the fatalistic tragedy and really let Don Quixote's obsession shine. How can he abandon other dreamers?

Just as tonight's award speech said, please don't abandon your dreams.

After getting lanli's answer, Edith's eyes fell on the champagne glass, watching the bubbles flow like pearls in the light, the shackles on her shoulders seemed to relax a little, and her restless mood gradually settled down.

At the Oscars tonight, Edith is also shouldering a heavy responsibility. Like Langley, she also needs to cheer up and move on in the path of her choice.

"Now, it's my turn. I'm going to save poor Rooney. I think she's going to be overwhelmed. " Edith stood up straight again, the cynicism in her eyes converged, straightened her waist, opened her chest, and regained her aristocratic demeanor.

In the face of Edith's ridicule, Langley quietly joked back, "so what about Chris? I think he's very, very lonely tonight. "

"Two consecutive extraordinary? Dear lanli, I think you are still a little nervous. Your words are not as sharp as usual. " Edith glanced at him, and then, without waiting for him to fight back, she ran away quickly and enjoyed her little achievement tonight.

She watched Edith leave, and then Rooney walked around the banquet hall, inadvertently passing by the location of lanli. She looked at lanli with her eyes, as if to say: are you ok?

Lan Li blinked narrowly and said, "ten minutes." I mean, I still need ten minutes to adjust.

Rooney pursed the corners of her mouth, made a small grimace, and shook her head: ten minutes? That's too long. It's hard to estimate.

For a short time, LUNI turned and walked away, but lanli's mood was obviously relaxed.

Langley also knew that ten minutes was too extravagant. After a little trimming, he left the shadow and joined the roar of Oscar night again.

It's a busy night, which can't be described by words. Those short and hasty meetings take place at the corner of the Sunset Tower Hotel. However, a lot of information is hidden in every conversation. Even the eyes can feel the tension and excitement of the undercurrent.

Don't mention reporters. Even the guests on the scene can't figure out the context in a short time.

Maybe only when we wait for the end of the Oscar night, and then calm down, think about it carefully and savor it slowly, can we piece together the blueprint of the whole thing - but maybe we can't understand it all the time. We can only become a part of the tide of the times, be pushed forward, and go with the tide with the whole Hollywood.

The only thing for sure is that Langley is at the center of the storm.
