Pushing open the door, the melodious and quiet cello concerto is lingering shallowly, the apricot yellow light flows down like a gurgling stream, and the glowing halo covers all the furniture in the line of sight with a hazy butter color, navy blue The twilight and the cold night were left behind behind the heels, and the noise and chaos of the whole world slowly settled down.

"Back?" Rooney Mara, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, raised her head, put the book she was reading on her lap, and raised her mouth to Lan Li.

Lan Li lightly chins her head and stops beside the hallway. The fatigue remaining between her eyebrows melts into the warmth of the room little by little, "What are you reading?"

"'School of Rumors'." Rooney set up the book in her hand and showed it to Lan Li.

Involuntarily, the smile on the corner of his mouth rose, Lan Li's eyes flashed slightly, "This book in your hand is a gift given to me by Matthew when I completed the suspension of Cambridge University. The inside pages of the book should be fine. I found his initials, like an easter egg hidden in a corner. Only by reading it carefully can I find it. The one I collected at the beginning should be in Matthew's Notting Hill apartment now."

There was a hint of curiosity in Rooney's eyes, "Oh, it sounds like there seems to be a story in it."

"Ha." Lan Li chuckled lightly, "It's the story in the script. When I was still at Eaton, once, I deliberately locked the English teacher outside the classroom, then stood on the stage and began to perform the play. Believe me, Mr. Stanley would never like this scene seen through the window. He found the principal angrily."

"Wow!" Rooney exclaimed, "I think Mr. Stanley made a wrong decision." The vampire prank of the "Gravity" crew is still spreading far and wide in Hollywood.

Lan Li's eyebrows raised slightly, "A week later, I read the play aloud on the radio. Andre and Matthew blocked the door of the broadcasting room. You should really look at all the teachers and schools at the time. The prisoners frantically beat the door of the broadcasting room. Later, Eaton made a painting to record the scene of that day."

"Haha." Rooney couldn't help but chuckle, "What to do? I am now starting to wonder about your middle school career."

"It's not that popular. I read aloud the behavior of "Rumor School" on the radio. Except for the teacher, the other students were not too satisfied. They thought I was taunting them." Lan Li said calmly.

Rooney thought about it seriously, "I can't refute it."

Lanli shrugged, "They are not as stupid as I thought."

Rooney nodded meaningfully, "I start to feel pitiful for those reporters. They still don't understand who their opponents are."

"Who?" Lan Li raised his eyebrows lightly, and there was a joke in his eyes.

Rooney raised her chin, snorted, did not answer, as if she was saying: I will not be fooled. Then he lowered his head again, opened the book, and continued to read.

The smile in Lan Li's eyes stained the corners of his mouth. Without saying anything, he lifted up his feet and walked towards the bathroom. Today it is Diaoweiya and the mood is ups and downs. The underwear is wet and dry, dry and wet. Now the whole body feels more and more heavy. He needs a hot bath to relax.

"Rumor-Making School", this is actually a script, not a novel. The author is Richard-Sheridan, a well-known British social custom comedy writer, whom George Byron admires very much.

Richard Sheridan’s family background is not significant, but he is already in the upper class. His father is a professional theater actor and a writer. He is quite famous in the industry. This also enabled him to study with Eaton in middle school. The Harrow School, where his studies go hand in hand; but after graduation, he still did not climb up and further into the upper class, but returned to the theater circle down-to-earth, which also made his works often able to capture the sharp differences between different classes.

For professionals in the theater circle, Richard Sheridan is an excellent playwright second only to William Shakespeare. Among them, the "Rumor School" is his pinnacle, created in 1777.

This script mainly tells the aristocratic men and women of the upper-class British society. Because they have nothing to do, they spread rumors every day, destroying the reputation and family of others, and even set up a "rumor-making school". The core of the story is around two things. Aristocratic brothers with different personalities unfold.

The younger brother is a profligate profligate, but he is kind and genuine; while the older brother is a gentleman who is obedient and full of benevolence, righteousness and morality. In fact, he is a greedy and hypocritical villain. After several tests, the truth/disposition of the two brothers was finally revealed. The whole process was full of climax and fun, and the comedy effect was really outstanding.

Through this farce, Richard Sheridan showed the vanity, greed and hypocrisy of the British upper class.

It was 1777, which also means that as early as the end of the eighteenth century, with the rise of drama and novels, the British aristocracy was facing constant provocations, and the contradictions between classes also gave rise to many wonderful things. Works; but the same situation still has no essential improvement after entering the 21st century.

With reference to this background, Lan Li’s mischief at Eton College has become alive and vivid, and it is still possible to portray the chaotic scene at that time.

Lan Li did not stay in the bathroom for too long. Although he took a hot bath to relax his muscles, it only lasted for less than half an hour. Then Lan Li appeared in the hall again, full of steaming steam. Wipe the hair that is still dripping with a bath towel.

Rooney raised her head and looked at Lan Li in front of her. She was barefoot and wearing a white T. She seemed to be disarming quietly. The fatigue and laziness between her eyebrows slowly flowed out, and her mind could not help but reappear. After Paul was lying on the bed, she knew that Lan Li would definitely have to go to the hospital for a while, so she put the "rumour school" aside and stretched out her right hand towards Lan Li, "Come here, I'll help you." "

Lan Li stood there, hesitating a bit, but his spirit was so tired that he couldn't think about the disguise anymore. He walked over barefoot, turned around, turned his back to the sofa, and crossed his legs in front of Rooney. Sit down and dangle the towel on his head, just like Arab costumes in the Middle East.

Through the towel, Rooney gently wiped the wet hair, and then applied a little force with her fingertips, massaging Lan Li’s scalp. The technique was a bit awkward and did not have much skill, but the warmth of her palms penetrated through the towel and hair. The silk passed down little by little, causing Lan Li to slowly close his eyes.

There is no dialogue, but the warm air is flowing in the room, Lan Li almost enters a half-dream and half-awake state, the whole day's work, physical and energy are in a state of overdraft, even if I just slept in the car for a while, but it is still insufficient In order to relieve fatigue, now that I relax, I feel more sleepy.

Lan Li half-closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "How is your today?"

"In the morning, I went to the hospital to visit Paul and met Jack. We stayed in the hospital for nearly an hour. Later, I went to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities. The supermarket did activities today. I bought a lot of kitchen paper and toilets. Used paper, and then bought a lot of towels."

"Then think about it, what do you think about having pasta for dinner? I called Amy Adams specifically, do you know she was born in Italy? I asked about the sauce for pasta, and she personally I gave me a large bottle of sauce made by her mother at home. This is the taste of authentic Italy."

"In the afternoon, after returning, um...I watched a movie, "Whale Circus", and many of the scenes in it were very interesting."

Rooney talked about the trivial things in daily life like this, but it made Lan Li feel extremely comfortable, until she came up with a familiar topic, by the way, she inserted, "The whole movie has only thirty-nine shots. It lasted for nearly one hundred and fifty minutes, all of which were long shots."

"I think the most powerful thing about Tal is that he doesn't see too many traces in his long shots. You won't notice that they are all long shots, but the whole sense of narrative is flowing out. This kind of lens language The ability is really admirable." Rooney also nodded in agreement.

Bela-Tarr (-Tarr), a famous Hungarian director, he has always been obsessed with the exploration of medium shots and long shots, and has his own obsession with film language ~www.novelhall.com~ but I don't like it very much. "Len Li said objectively, "Of course, he is a very special director. His shots can often convey the shock in silence. The powerful force in the second half of the riot in the'Whale Circus' is really admirable. It is a real movie. The camera tells the story and the spirit. His lens language has self-awareness, and people need to have more understanding of those philosophical thinking and those social reflections to be able to understand, otherwise they can only travel outside the door."

Rooney pondered for a moment, "No, I don't think so. I think his lens language itself is powerful, without understanding or in-depth, the soul can calm down."

"I agree. He is always keen to use his own lens to explore the philosophies contained in life, you can look at him again... Well, it should be the 2011 work "The Horse of Turin", which corresponds to the creation of the world by God Seven days to explore destruction. But in comparison, I like Theo-Angelopoulos's use of the lens. It’s not that you can’t use a long lens, but the long lens itself should have its own philosophical thinking , Or Nuri-Bilge-Ceylon (Nuri-Bilge-) can also be used as a reference."

Lan Li and Rooney sat quietly in front of the sofa, discussing film and directors, performances and art in a whisper. You insist on your own opinions, and occasionally find resonance, and occasionally argue.
