Tailored.

These are the original words of Ethan. The Coen brothers tailor-made a work for Lan Li, which is absolutely incredible.

In the Hollywood film industry, it’s not uncommon for top directors to tailor a work and a role for a specific actor. The most straightforward example is "Kill Bill", which is Quentin Tarantino’s Works created by Uma Thurman.

But leaving aside the unhappy first meeting between the Coen brothers and Lan Li for the time being, Lan Li is only twenty-two years old, rising fast, but after all, he is still too young to become an inspirational muse for art creators. This is not the case. Such an easy thing; what's more, the friendship between them can't talk about friends at all.

Even George Clooney, who has a close personal relationship with the Cohen brothers, has worked together on "Three Kings Escape", "Burn After Reading", "Long Live Caesar", "True Love and False Love" and many other works. Can get such a treatment, but now, Lan Li has given them inspiration and received such a special treatment.

This... is really a huge accident.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Andy couldn't help showing a confused look. Compared with surprises and excitement, there are more doubts. In the timeline he does not know, the friendship between Lan Li and the Coen brothers has been so deep?

Immediately, Andy looked in the rearview mirror and caught the surprise and stun in Lan Li's eyes. A little relieved, it seemed that Lan Li also knew nothing. So Andy cast his eyes on the Coen brothers with interest. What kind of medicine are they selling in their gourd? What is going on with today's job offer?

Ethan and Joel obviously did not anticipate how terrifying the bombs they threw at their hands. The two exchanged a glance with similar joy and joy in their expressions. They were completely immersed in the brainstorming of artistic creation. You pieced together the blueprint for the clues of the whole story.

"I mean, you are one of the sources of inspiration, an important source! In addition, we also checked a lot of information, returned to Greenwich Village in the 1960s, and used the folk singer Dai in the 1960s for reference. Dave-van-Ronk's autobiographical memoir, "The Mayor of McDoug Street," tells the story of that era."

"Dave Van Langk, Tom-Paxton, Phil-Ochs, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan... they all used to be in Greenwich Village Struggling hard, hitting walls, breaking blood, and running rampant, not for success, not for glory, but just to find one's own value."

"Of course, we also borrowed from the album'Don Quixote' and the dilemma of folk songs under the background of the entire era; finally, based on you and Van Longk, we created a virtual folk singer role and put him Placed in Greenwich Village in the 1960s, however, we will not tell the story of how he succeeded, not even his personal biography, but through him to tell the story of the entire era and the entire wave."

"Now, we are considering the title of the movie.'Don Quixote' is a good choice. As you said in the album, this is a lonely place that cannot be returned. Trapped in place, but besides..."

"In addition, we are still considering an album by Van Ronk called "About Dave-Van-Ronk (Inside-Dave-van-Ronk. Maybe we can apply the name of the leading actor to " About XXX' as the title."

...

The entire conversation was in a fragmented state, and it was difficult to sort out a thought or context. It was like opening a box of puzzles and dumping all the pieces in a clatter. The amount of information was extremely large, but it made people unable to start and messed up.

For those laymen or young people who don’t understand folk songs, the 1960s, Greenwich Village, or the cultural wave, they are even more unfriendly. One after another, unfamiliar words continue to bounce out. I understand a word, but after putting it together, the whole paragraph can't understand the ins and outs of the story, let alone the meaning behind the story.

Just like a heavenly book.

That's because that's how the Coen brothers talked. There was a brainstorm between Joel and Ethan. All the information was vented like a meteor shower. The entire car was filled with their voices, but only theirs. No one can intervene in the sound, and it is extremely difficult even to keep up with the rhythm.

Although the Coen brothers’ eyes always fell on Lan Li, they seemed to be explaining to Lan Li, and they seemed to be inviting Lan Li to join; but their conversation rhythm was very fast, and the hyperactive and crazy temperament really made people unable to intervene and immersed in I can't extricate myself from my own world.

Until the end, Joel and Ethan looked at Lan Li at the same time, cast their inquiring eyes, and this gave Lan Li room to interrupt.

Joel asked impatiently, "So, what do you think?"

Sitting in the back seat, Nathan was completely brain-burning. After his head was dizzy, he didn't know what the Coen brothers just said, only heard a lot of unfamiliar names, and then...there was no more; inside; Sen cast his gaze towards Roy, but found that Roy had an unfathomable expression. He did not speak or move. It was uncertain whether Roy understood it or not.

Fortunately, they don't need to understand, as long as Lanly understands it.

That's the question, does Lanly understand?

"I think that after George Slander learns this news, he should be so excited that he faints directly." Lan Li said half-jokingly, this time it is the Coen brothers' turn to be confused: George Slander? Who is that?

Lan Li did not explain, but thought for a moment.

In fact, he didn't understand; to be more precise, he did understand, but he couldn't understand the enthusiasm in the bones of the Coen brothers.

The wave of folk songs in the 1960s, the rock wave of the 1970s, and the hippie culture that was active in that era have deeply affected the history of the entire United States——

The simplest and rude example is that Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and others are deeply imprinted by the era, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, James Came Long, Martin Scorsese and other directors all carry the indelible mark of that era, as well as film, music, literature and even politics/governance.

Lan Li knew the rise and fall of that era, the ups and downs of those waves, but he was just a bystander, not a participant. At least, not like the Coen brothers.

Joel was born in 1954, and Ethan was born in 1957. Like Spielberg and other golden-generation directors, they have truly gone through the sixties and 70s, and gradually began to form their own art in the eighties. pursue. Folk wave, rock wave, hippie culture, everything flows in their blood.

Lan Li is just a spectator, tracing the glories and madness of that era from the records of books and videos, just like the story of "Midnight Paris". Everyone is dissatisfied with real life and puts his own spirit on something. A perfect golden age; and people in every age are escaping from reality and dreaming of another golden age.

For the generation of Lanli, they will always miss the brilliance and glory of the 90s; for the generation of the 90s, they will never forget the blossoming of a hundred flowers and the contending of a hundred schools of thought in the 80s; the same thing is for the Coen brothers , They are always reminiscing about the purity and simplicity of the sixties and seventies.

In a sense, the souls of the Lanly and Coen brothers are similar in depth. They miss the source of their artistic inspiration and stick to their inner paradise. They only show different characteristics of the age. Now they are through the folk song. The carrier has awakened mutual sympathy. This reminded Lan Li of George Slander, the old man who missed the music market so much in the 1980s.

After making a little joke, Lan Li did not intend to explain, but changed the subject with a smile, and went on.

"At one time, music and movies were both carriers of art, carrying the ideas and flexibility of the creators, as well as the emotions of life and the weight of society. At that time, the dreams were pure and simple, just to realize self-worth; but Now, music and movies have gradually become commercial carriers, shouldering the burden of the supremacy of interests and entertainment to the death. They are struggling to move forward. As a result, dreams have become complicated and chaotic. Are we chasing fame and fortune, or are we chasing freedom? ."

"Once upon a time, dreams made life bearable. Even though they were struggling in poverty and hardship, they still had great expectations for the hot land of Greenwich Village; but now, dreams have made life unbearable. The cruel reality makes dreams nowhere to be placed. Washington Square is still the Washington Square, but it has been surrounded by McDonald’s and Starbucks. Bars like Pioneer Village have gradually disappeared in the long river of history."

Lan Li's eyes fell on Joel and Ethan ~www.novelhall.com~ So, you want to tell the story of that era, those pure and simple eras. Everyone rushed into the wave like moths to the fire, and became a part of the entire era. "

"Of course, not everyone can achieve success. There is only one Bob Dylan, but behind him, there are a hundred and a thousand people with the same dream. The only difference is that some people persist. Some people gave up. Times have changed. Those who gave up in the past chose to give up after all; and those who persisted in the past seemed to have chosen to give up. In that turbulent era, it’s like this forever. Gone is gone."

Lan Li's words carried a touch of sorrow, making Joel and Ethan both exude extremely excited expressions.

Joel’s big mouth almost screamed, "God, God! That's it, this is exactly the same idea in our minds! It's exactly the same! How could it be! God, this is your movie, I am Seriously, Lan Li, I'm serious! Please make sure to star in this work, definitely!"

This work by the Coen brothers is still fresh in Lan Li's memory, because this is his personal favorite of the Coen brothers. The movie's name is "Drunk Country Folk Songs".
