In 1997, Christopher Nolan just graduated from university and spent 6000 dollars to shoot every weekend. It took him a year to complete the shooting of his first feature film "follow". Then he came to Los Angeles, hoping to find development opportunities. After that, he officially settled in the city, And build their own stable life.

In fact, Christopher is British. He and his wife Emma Thomas met when they were studying at University College London. At that time, they fell in love at the age of 20 and 19. Later, for the sake of Christopher's film career, Emma came to Los Angeles with her husband to settle down and become a producer.

Christopher Nolan is a very nostalgic and conservative diehard

He is a loyal supporter of film films, a staunch supporter of traditional cinemas, and a supporter of old school shooting techniques. Although his films are full of all kinds of imagination, computer special effects are inevitable; But as long as he can use the actual scene to complete the shooting, he will never use the green screen——

Because he personally hated the visual distortion and distortion brought by green screen shooting. In order to create a real visual experience, he even built a large number of containers or related rooms and insisted on shooting everything in real time.

This point, Christopher Nolan and Alfonso Caron can be said to be the same.

Of course, Christopher respects computer special effects. It is precisely because of the rapid development of technology that his fantastic ideas can evolve into reality; But in Christopher's view, computer special effects are just one of the tools to realize ideas. In the final analysis, movies must return to film and reality. The methods and methods can be changed, but the core can't.

It's worth mentioning that Christopher has no mobile phone, no email, let alone a smartphone. Even in Hollywood, he's a maverick. If you want to find Christopher, either through a landline or through his wife Emma, you have no other choice, even an agent.

In addition, in the shooting scene, Christopher is strictly prohibited from using mobile phones.

It's hard to imagine that this is actually a post-modern director like "Inception" and "Dark Knight"; People who don't know almost think Christopher is an antique of the 19th century.

That's what Christopher is like. Every summer, he and his wife will take their children back to England for vacation. The importance of family to Christopher can be truly felt in movies such as "Inception", "Star Trek" and "Dunkirk", so every summer vacation is like this.

Now "Star Trek" is still in a state of chaos. It is not known how the battle between Warner Brothers and legendary pictures will end; But it's certain that Langley wants to be a part of the project, so for the time being, putting aside the fight for investors, Langley decides to have a face-to-face talk with Christopher.

……

Back in London again, Langley didn't feel anything special.

The last time I returned to London, the Oliver prize, the Earl of Oxford dinner, and the face was completely torn. In a short period of time, it seems that I have experienced vicissitudes; After that, the Cannes Film Festival, the learning of the drum and the shooting of the "pop drummer" seemed to have no time to experience them carefully and devote themselves to work. Two months had already passed.

Now looking back, it's a bit like the illusion of separation.

However, for Lan Li, there is not much special significance. After the song "this is me" released all the thoughts in his heart, he had decided to completely expose the page of the past; What's more, with the shooting of "pop drummer", he really completed the reconciliation with himself, relaxed in body and mind.

Not only was there no tension, on the contrary, there was some expectation. This seems to be the first time since he left London and went to New York to pursue his dream. He can really let go of his guard and return to this city. Anyway, this is where his life began, isn't it?

The plane landed slowly at Heathrow International Airport. Looking at the hot air with dense water vapor outside the window, we knew that we had stepped on the land of England again.

This time, Langley chose first class. The main thing is to avoid turmoil and confusion, which is one of the sequelae of fame and popularity. There is no way to walk in the daily crowd in a low-key and casual way. This is the case with the princess played by Audrey Hepburn in "Roman holiday". If you pay, you will get back, and if you get something, you will get a price.

First class passengers can leave the airport directly through the VIP passageway, and even ordinary passengers will not be aware of which VIPs have taken the flight.

After leaving the airport, the VIP can wait in the VIP lounge, and the airline is responsible for arranging the pick-up vehicle, and then directly transport their luggage to the vehicle - if there is a special vehicle for picking up, the airline will also directly transport their luggage to the private vehicle.

Now, Langley is in the VIP lounge.

Just entering the door, Langley saw the busy Hatter Wesley, the steward of the dunlops.

"Hey, Hector." Langley stood where he was, waiting for hetter to turn around and greet him with a smile.

"Master lanli." Haite also showed an unexpected look, but did not make a fuss. His eyes showed a touch of comfort. After bowing politely, he came up and kept a proper distance. "This time back, is it a special trip to the lake area for vacation? Now is a good time, the sun will not be too spicy, but at the same time can enjoy the cool water

This is the real aristocratic etiquette. It doesn't pry into Lan Li's personal situation, the purpose of Lan Li's return, and it doesn't care about Lan Li's superfluous gossip. It just starts chatting on such a common topic as the lake area to express polite greetings and bring some intimacy. Advance and retreat properly, and show your discretion.

Langley gave a light smile. "No, Haite, you know, I don't like the lake area. This time I came back to work. " Although Haite still did not have any expression, lanli was raised by Haite. He naturally knew Haite's personality, so he chuckled, "I know, I know, I'm a workaholic. But that's the advantage of young people, isn't it? "

Haite's eyes flashed a warm smile, "so did master Matthew."

"That's why we can be friends." Blue Li said softly, "by the way, Matthew is very good. Everything is very good." Although Haite didn't ask, Langley knew that this was what Haite was most concerned about.

Sure enough, after Langley finished, Haite nodded politely to show his thanks.

At this time, another figure came up with a smile and said, "good afternoon." It wasn't a long time no see, no warm embrace, just a simple good afternoon, "do you also take this flight? Why didn't I see you on the plane? "

It's Henry Dunlop, Matthew Dunlop's eldest brother. At the same time, he is the one who is going to get married.

Henry and Langley were not familiar with each other, from age to character to career. Like Matthew, Henry inherited the family career, is now a prosecutor, and is working towards the position of judge; But Henry is more serious and cunning than Matthew. If he has the chance, he doesn't resist taking the political line.

In addition to the relationship of age, there is not much intersection between Henry and Langley. The understanding between each other is naturally limited.

"I'm used to sleeping after boarding and adjusting the time difference." Lanli simply explained that when he was on the plane, he was basically half asleep. Let alone other strangers, even the communication opportunities of flight attendants were very limited.

No matter what the answer is, it's just a polite greeting on social occasions. "Not long ago, I went to the Almeida theater to watch" les miserables ". The story is still a good one, but everyone says that your version is still different, ALF agreed

ALF agreed.

This sentence is very meaningful.

Does this mean that ALF represents the hall family and truly recognizes the existence of Langley? So, did George and Elizabeth's attitude also change? Furthermore, during the conversation between ALF and Henry, she took the initiative to express her opinions. Does this mean that after the Earl of Oxford's private party, the trend of upper class society in London has changed?

A short sentence is worth pondering.

However, lanli didn't say much, "thank you for your praise. I believe that every actor standing on the stage of the west side has his own style and skills. Well, do you still enjoy the whole show? "

"Of course. The same story tastes different. John cod's work really deserves recognition. " Henry didn't explain and discuss too much, so he went on along with the words of Langley. The simple and clear conversation style is just the normal social situation, and it won't be too deep.

"Did Philip come to pick up the plane today?" Henry turned to Haite and asked.

What kind of standard and attitude does the hall family hold towards the return of lanli? In Henry's view, as a housekeeper, Philippe denba is bound to come, which is another signal, meaningful signal.

The information and signals revealed in a few words just show the upbringing and attitude of the British nobles.

Haite bowed politely and said, "No."

Henry didn't say much. He looked at Langley again and politely asked, "let's go. I'll give you a lift. I'll go to Kensington."
