♂!

"Hahahaha." The group of underage girls diagonally laughed happily, their carefree posture, as if they were enjoying their beautiful childhood recklessly, but their mature dress and rich makeup, The decadent figure showed a completely different posture from the pure and clear laughter.

They are about to betray their bodies, but they don't know what it means. Such a sharp contrast added a touch of desolation and chaos to the streets of the Bronx.

Lan Li's footsteps did not stop, passing the traffic lights, and moving on to the opposite reaction of the girls, but at a distance of 20 meters, there was a Starbucks on the right. Starbucks everywhere.

The smoky-grey brick wall with black porch, the simple decoration style looks like an ordinary convenience store, only the classic logo on the top of the head reminds the pedestrians that come and go, this is the world's most successful coffee Chain store.

At this time, the interior of the shop was lit up with creamy yellow lights, and there were a few customers sparsely cruising. At the long table by the window, a young man turned on his laptop and was working concentratingly around. Some unkind gazes, but the young people are arrogant, apparently the indigenous people here; there are seven or eight gray stone tables outside, and the primitive and rough construction site style does not worry about the danger of being emptied in the middle of the night.

The appearance of Lan Li did not attract any attention. Because similar figures can be seen both inside and outside the Starbucks store. On the stone table by the door, there is a tramp who is savouring a cup of freshly baked coffee. The layered dressing style looks a bit "Pirates of the Caribbean." "The style, sitting comfortably, the staff did not come to drive.

Walking into the Starbucks store, Lan Li went around for a while, then walked out, and finally found the target in the corner, walked straight over, sat down opposite an old man wearing a gentleman hat, that gray and messy Long hair is like the tentacles of an octopus, spurting out from under the brim of the hat indiscriminately, with exaggerated and funny expressions on the face full of vicissitudes, people who don't know why they think this is a lunatic.

Seeing the figure of Lan Li sitting down, the old man widened his eyes and showed a slow excitement and excitement, "How? How do you feel? How is the harvest? Do you have any questions for me? I heard that happened yesterday. The police attack, are you not on the scene? Did you go to the nearby high school? I always wanted to communicate with those children, but every time they refused. Maybe you can be regarded as their peers, they even more Would you like to communicate?"

It was babbling and crackling, and I talked a lot about it as soon as I came up. Questions one after another, without ventilation, fully interpret the feelings of urgency and expectation. What's more interesting is that he didn't mind the safety of Lanly at all. He didn't even ask a polite question, but instead focused all his attention on the "important matter".

Besides Tony Kaye, who else can it be?

For Tony's urgency and concentration, Lan Li has long been used to it. Imagine that this old man was ordered to stop the shooting by the government in order to film the "Blackwater Shipping Company" and reveal the government/government responsibilities behind the environmental issues. This is even "Fahrenheit 911", "Snowden", and "Snowden". The "Fourth Citizen" was filmed in the United States, but the "Black Water Shipping Company" failed to complete the filming. The lethality can be imagined.

In other words, Tony is more desperate, more selfless, more persistent, and crazier than Renly. For the proposal that Lan Li came to experience for himself, Tony was naturally more in favor and more involved than anyone.

"No, no, uh... no, no." Lan Li put the burlap sack in his hand aside, remembered it carefully, and said a series of negative words, then paused for a moment and nodded seriously, "Yes. Yes, the answer to all your questions is,'No'."

With such a straightforward response, Tony couldn’t help but snorted. He didn’t even remember what question he had just asked. Before he had time to speak, there was an exaggerated roar from the street behind him. All the noise is drowned.

When you turn your head, you can see a colorful "luxury" roadster, with an improved engine that shook the sky at the touch of a gas pedal. There were three, four, five, or six people sitting bustling on it, all black. Like a stack of arhats, the flowers were clustered together, and at a glance, it was impossible to tell how many people there were. All of them raised their hands high and let themselves go, crying and screaming, the scene was so lively.

The sports car stopped at the intersection of the traffic light, and then they saw them whistling at the girls on the opposite street, ******* incessantly, jokingly and boldly talking/playing, the noisy sound at the crossroads Constantly echoing.

Lan Li and Tony both turned sideways and looked over. The sports car slowed down and drove all the way. The black people in the car continued to use words to tease/tease, while the group of girls lifted up without showing any weakness. The middle finger, and even a young girl smashed her handbag. As a result, the person on the sports car grabbed the handbag, accelerated, and walked away.

The noise was less than half a minute, and calm quickly recovered. Lan Li and Tony looked at each other and fell silent for a moment.

Tony fell heavily and sat down and leaned back on the chair. The joy and comfort in his expression was swept away, and he was stained with a layer of exhaustion. He rubbed his temples and looked at Lan Li's expression with the light in the store. The turbulent anger and helpless sigh mingled together, contradictory and conflicting, it was indescribable in words, and even with that, a touch of helplessness appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Lan Li met Tony's gaze, and in the end he spoke first and said half-jokingly, "I just thought you were about to rush forward."

In fact, Tony had already stood up, his hands clenched into fists, the gurgling anger was almost uncontrollable, he looked a lot more excited than Lan Li, but in the end, Tony sat down dejectedly, and all the emotions on his cheeks disappeared. , Only the face is full of excitement.

Facing Lan Li's ridicule, Tony twitched his mouth, but couldn't laugh. He could only let out a long, long sigh, "They have already given up, so what can I do? You? Never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep."

There was a deep pessimism in the heavy tone, as if the thick clouds that could never dissipate during the rainy season, "This is not like you." Lan Li supported his chin with his fingers, and looked at Tony seriously, surely. Tony's tone made Tony twitched at the corner of his mouth.

"Of course. If everyone chooses to compromise because they can't change, and is gradually rubbed off by society, then society will never progress. We should not let society change ourselves, but should change society through our own efforts. "When Tony spoke lightly, it was not the kind of rational tone, but a sigh from the heart, "But after all, personal power is limited, I can't help everyone, not to mention those corners that I can't see. , Even if I saw it, it might not be able to help."

Tony shrugged his shoulders, his eyes became focused again, "To change society, it is necessary to awaken everyone's consciousness, let one person become a small group, and then turn a small group into a large group, and finally complete the change. As a one A director, an art creator, my work is my weapon, and at the same time the meaning of my filming. I hope that through my lens and my images, the audience can feel the truth of society. Among a thousand viewers, as long as one person takes action or changes his mind, then this is my victory."

Tony in front of him reminded Lan Li of Lu Xun. The man who changed China with a pen.

When words were born, they were only used for records, but with the development of time, they gradually developed more meanings, evolved into art, and influenced people from generation to generation. This is true for literature, so is painting, so is music, so is film, and strictly speaking, it is true for art. The changes it brings are spiritual and are also one of the important driving forces for social progress and change.

It is undeniable that art has an entertainment effect at the beginning of its birth, especially movies. By watching movies, people can feel the emotions of relaxation, joy, release, comfort, and enjoyment. This is the intuitive meaning of the movie when it was born; but the reason why movies can be called the seventh art is because in addition to the entertainment effect, it It can also be sublimated and shoulder a higher mission.

It's like the album "Don Quixote".

While encouraging the production of commercial films ~www.novelhall.com~, we must not give up the creation of artistic films. Both are indispensable. This is also the reason why "Batman: The Dark Knight" is so sought after. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the pinnacle of the perfect combination of commerce and art since the 21st century. Until the rebirth of Lan Li, no other works could reach such a high level.

"So, is this your original intention for shooting "Transcendence"?" Lan Li admired Tony from the bottom of his heart.

Although Lan Li has filmed four film works so far, three of which are independent films, they are still limited to the category of "movies", and more are limited to the creator's own experience and ideas, and have not been able to get rid of it. Reality, reaching the height of art. "Beyond" is the first art work that Renly participated in the filming. In essence, this is different.

Tony pursed the corners of his mouth, did not answer, but continued to ask, "Is this how you felt after your own experience? For the Bronx, or, what do you think of the people living in the slums?"

Art comes from life and is higher than life. Lan Li chose to live in the slums of the Bronx as a homeless man in order to truly understand Tony's original intention. Now, he finally had further feelings. This is something that you can't feel behind closed doors and on paper. This is a breakthrough.
