Blue sky. Baiyun. sunlight. There are also palm trees.

The straight and spacious highway divides the whole city into neat and vast shapes like squares. Even in the cold winter at the end of February, you can still smell the taste of summer, and everything seems to be stained with a faint golden halo.

Los Angeles is still that Los Angeles, with sunshine all year round, permeating a kind of leisurely and comfortable life.

A black Land Rover was running on the highway to the international airport. Seeing that the airport terminal was already in sight, the crowded traffic slowed down the speed of the car, and the busy scene of continuous flow has not changed. This is just another Los Angeles. It's a busy Thursday.

"Len Li, are you sure? You seem to be able to take some rest." Sitting behind the steering wheel, it was Paul Walker. He raised his eyes and glanced at the rearview mirror. Lan Li was sitting in the back seat. Leaning on the back of the chair, he was closing his eyes and rested, as if he had not recovered from the fatigue of the long-distance flight.

When entering the airport expressway, Lan Li had already regained consciousness. He just closed his eyes now. "She can promise to accompany me to the ceremony. This is a fortunate thing. I can at least show my sincerity and come to pick me up. If I didn’t come back on time, it’s fine, but I already landed yesterday, didn’t I?"

Last night, Lanly and Felicity landed safely in Los Angeles and arrived on a red-eye flight from the Maldives, leaving plenty of time to prepare for the Oscars ceremony that will kick off this weekend.

On the day when the sunset was overwhelming but was interrupted by the heavy rain, Lanly and Felicity joined forces to give an outstanding performance, showing a rare and excellent state, which was undoubtedly recognized by Garis.

"Perfect! I really can't ask for more." These are the original words of Garris.

Even if I watched the replay again, the emotions that were intertwined with excitement did not diminish. It really perfectly presented all of Garris’s ideas for the finale. The intense chemical reaction and profound thought excitement were all included in the footage. It leaves endless room for imagination.

As a director, what else can he ask for?

Sure enough, film is a collective artistic creation activity. The collision between director and actors, director and crew, finds the most harmonious and harmonious track among countless ideas and creativity, and pursues the resonance between the camera and the audience.

Garys is just one of the members of the entire crew full of admiration and admiration. The surprise and praise of other staff members finally found a catharsis and unreservedly showed them, especially in the gap between the sunset and the heavy rain. The perfect location makes this scene a unique existence.

This satisfaction and pride is absolutely impossible to feel when shooting in a studio. The kind of satisfaction that we can finally work together to achieve the goal after sharing the joys and sorrows and dangers is enough to become a treasured memory of everyone on and off the crew, and it will also become Valuable memory behind the movie film.

Directors such as Christopher Nolan, Alfonso Cuarón, and the Coen brothers, on the one hand, are seeking technological innovation, and on the other hand, they are guarding the traditions of the film. What they insist on is actually this sunset and The brief moments of heavy rain interlaced. This is especially true of the "boyhood" that shined in this year's awards season.

Some things cannot be replaced by computer technology.

"Huh, my agent can finally breathe a sigh of relief." Lan Li finished with a joke, and the entire crew ended the day's filming work in a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere.

On the second day after that, Lan Li and Felicity still stayed on the island, trying to wait for the sunset in the evening, and then make up some profile shots, but unfortunately, although it did not rain, it was thin. The cumulus cloud blocks the sun, and the difference in light makes the camera's capture of the picture look unsatisfactory. Even if the lighting is done with equipment, it still can't create the same effect after all, and Garis has to give up in the end.

This is the most realistic problem: some light, some environment, some inspiration... After missing it, it may never reappear.

A classic work also requires the cooperation of the right time and place.

After all, Garis gave up his obsession and did not continue to make up shoots and began to invest in other filming work; while Lan Li and Felicity left the Maldives and returned to the North American continent, preparing to participate in the upcoming Oscars.

Before leaving the island for a connecting flight in Male’, Lan Li received a piece of good news:

Edith returned to London.

She ended her journey to the front line of the battlefield again and returned to the Prince’s Garden in peace; but she did not say whether she found the answer, but evaded it in a joke, "At least I didn’t lose a finger or something. Yes, otherwise my mother should be mad."

For Catholics, they always hope that their bodies will remain intact when they pass away; this is especially true for the nobles who pay attention to decency and etiquette.

Renly was unable to determine Edith’s state. At least on the phone, Edith leaked too little emotion; but even if he knew it, he might not be able to help. Some things need to be solved by himself, and he is the only thing he can do. Yes, it is to be by her side to let her know that she is not alone.

"...I'm going back to attend the Oscars, you know, occasions that allow me to feel good." Lan Li mentioned his plan in a mocking and self-deprecating way, "How is it, are you interested?" This is just an occasion. The inspiration was just a flash, and Lan Li didn't know where it came from, but after saying it, he felt that the plan was good, "not as a photojournalist, but as an attending guest."

Edith is also very familiar with Oscars. If she wants to, she can find a press card at any time so that she can appear backstage at the awards ceremony; but before that, Edith appeared on the stage as a job and never really enjoyed it. That party at the top of Vanity Fair in Hollywood.

Edith was not interested in the harsh environment before leaving the front line of the battlefield. She really couldn't imagine that she would appear immediately under the spotlight of Vanity Fair. She was about to refuse.

But Lan Li's words made her hesitate.

"Do you know how Dick-Cheney changed the world?" Renly's words made Edith stunned. "They are just above those fancy-dressed and coveted dinner parties, in suits and leather shoes. Then use your own words to provoke those Wall Street capital, those elites, a few people control the destiny of most people, turn their hands into the clouds and rain, and then the world is full of holes."

Dick Cheney, the former Vice President of the United States, was also the real driving force behind the Iraq War. His deeds were later adapted into the movie "Vice President".

But this is not the focus of Lanli’s words, “I mean, if you want to stop the war, or help the innocent people, or raise funds, Oscar is a good start.”

The whole world knows that Hollywood is opposed to war.

Relying on Edith alone, she may be able to expose ten news and twenty truths, but by leveraging the power of the elite, she can truly change the social structure and change the course of history. In this society, the existence of investigative journalists is needed; but it also needs the existence of politicians, because changing the world is definitely not done by one person.

Lanly is trying to change the situation of independent films, but his appeal alone is not enough. He can’t compete with Wall Street, so he needs Sisyphus Pictures, he needs Sundance Film Festival, he The three major European film festivals are needed even if this has deviated from his original dream.

This is the true meaning of the line of "Spiderman": the stronger the ability, the heavier the responsibility.

Edith can understand Lan Li's meaning, but she has just returned to London and is exhausted physically and mentally. She still needs some time to calm herself down.

She did not agree to Lan Li, but changed the subject, and soon hung up the phone.

It was originally just a momentary inspiration, but after speaking out, Lan Li realized that it was a good idea.

He admits that in addition to the above reasons, he also has his own selfishness. He hopes Edith can continue to fight for her dream, but in a different way. If Edith wants, she can still return to the front line, but occasionally, even if She can also play a role when she leaves the front line. So, can Edith find the real answer?

Lan Li didn't know and wasn't sure, but he still gave his own thoughts and suggestions, and then gave the decision to Edith.

After Lan Li arrived in Los Angeles, Edith's text message came:

"Prepare a dress for me."

It just happened.

Therefore, today, Lan Li made a special trip to pick up the plane at Los Angeles International Airport, and Paul became the driver, just like when Mei Duo came to Los Angeles from Honolulu.

"How is Edith's condition~www.novelhall.com~ Are you sure it doesn't matter?" At the Christmas party not long ago, Paul met Edith at the Prince's Garden, and he can be regarded as a friend.

Lanly paused, "I'm not so sure. To be honest, I don't know if it was the right decision to invite her to the ceremony."

Although Lan Li’s family background has been made public, Edith’s identity is not a secret, and someone with a heart can always find a lot of clues; but Edith has not completely stood in the spotlight. Once she attended the Oscars, then The frenzy of reporters and paparazzi might overwhelm her, coupled with Edith's mental state just returning from the front line, the uncertainty is further magnified, which makes Lan Li unable to be sure.

"It's better to act by chance. If she feels that she is not in good condition, then we can cancel at any time. This is not a big deal." Lan Li said lightly, as if Oscar was just a birthday party for the neighbor next door.

This made Paul chuckle, "Then what's Chris' reaction? I mean, didn't he invite Edith? He is the real boyfriend."

"I am her brother." Lan Li replied.
