"I can't wait. It's really cold outside."

Without careful consideration, Joel hastily dropped a sentence and entered the cafe. It was Joel's usual style. Ethan, who was still standing in the same place, had long been used to it. At this time, he had no choice but to shake his head and walk into the cafe.

Jingle.

The wind chime at the door rings gently, and the cold and snowflakes roll up a small whirlwind, which stirs up a sharp wind in the sound of the wind chime. Then, with the re closing of the door, it is blocked outside. The indoor heating suddenly emerges a piece of water mist on Joel and Ethan's glasses, and the whole world falls into a lemon haze.

Joel skillfully took off his glasses and wiped them with the corner of his shirt, and his vision became clear again; Ethan, on the other hand, goes to the buffet, finds the tissue paper, cleans the lens carefully, looks around, and then moves towards where Joel and Langley are.

"So, is it public now?" Joel stood beside the coffee table with his hands crossed in front of him. He looked like a bodyguard in black. However, he was not so professional with his face full of laughter and messy hair. "Today's young people are really different."

In the face of Joel's banter, both lanli and Rooney are not shy and reserved. They raise their heads to meet their eyes without any embarrassment and embarrassment.

With a serious look on her face, Rooney said, "I thought you and Francis were used to this way of life."

Francis mcdermond, the wife of Joel Cohen, got married in 1984 because of the Cohen brothers' first novel "blood labyrinth". This relationship lasted for nearly 20 years and has been lasting forever; Later, the Coen Brothers tailored "ice blood storm" for Francis, which also made the latter win the Oscar. In 2017, Francis won two posthumous awards with his superb performance of "three billboards".

Joel and Francis are usually low-key, but occasionally appear in public, they will not be shy, but appear in front of the public. They don't deliberately show their love or dodge the camera. The natural but not artificial attitude is also a clear stream in Hollywood.

Joel's eyes flashed. "Compare me to Francis? How far has your relationship developed? "

Originally thought that Rooney would be embarrassed, did not expect, but Rooney showed a shallow smile, "if not, we just move is not appropriate?"

Joel didn't panic. He nodded solemnly. "I don't think it's appropriate. In public, you have to worry about other single people. You don't even think about what other audiences think. "

At this time, Ethan has already come over. Lanli and Ethan exchange a sight and say hello. Then lanli says to Joel, "I think there is no paparazzi in park city; Now, I'm still too young. In Hollywood, I still have a lot to learn. "

The subtext is, Joel is the paparazzi?

In a simple word, when he was young, he gave up. He raised his right hand, depressed and helpless, and said, "it's heartless to regard me as a paparazzi. We're worried about you, OK? If someone else takes a picture and uploads it to the social network platform, the next period of time will be a headache for you

"It's just you, not us." Ethan fell down the well and said, "lanli and Rooney are smart people. They have their own discretion. Why worry about them? I think you're a real paparazzi once in a while

Looking at Joel's gaping face, all three of them chuckled.

Joel shook his head repeatedly to express his protest, but did not continue to entangle in this problem. His eyes quickly moved back and forth for a moment between lanli and Rooney, and then sat down beside lanli.

Joel, who usually seems to be big, shows his carefulness in some details. This style can also be found in his works. Obviously, he is always sloppy and casual, and is not suitable for sitting next to ladies; Ethan, a gentlemanly, is a better choice.

Ethan then looks at Rooney and politely signals. After getting her permission, she sits down beside her.

"Well, is everything all right in park city?" Because of the banter just now, they directly skipped the conversation. Ethan now has the opportunity to express his concern. "I mentioned to Robert before that maybe we shouldn't be too urgent this year. You need more time to rest and adjust. Anyway, Sundance is always here. We missed this year and next year. We know that you care about independent movies, That's enough. "

First, Paul Walker's accident, then the long shooting of "Star Trek", coupled with this year's awarding season's boiling negative public opinion, Langley has always been on the top of the storm, physically and mentally exhausted. In this case, whether Robert Redford or the Cohen brothers, they did not put further pressure on randley, but prepared for his absence.

Don't need too many greetings, you can feel the deep concern in the conversation.

"I'm fine and park city is fine." "Even the blizzard here is very good," Langley said simply Aware of Ethan and Joel's puzzled eyes, lanli added, "because of the blizzard, paparazzi have no chance here. Only professional media reporters come here, which is a good thing."

Joel burst out laughing, even shaking his hands, and then realized it was a coffee shop. He had to turn around and apologize to other customers.

Looking back, Joel rubbed his cheek and calmed his bright smile. "Where's Christopher? I know his working habits. The most annoying thing about him is that he is interrupted by an accident. It's very annoying whether it's shooting or acting. I've heard about it before. He even forbids using mobile phones in the crew. Now in Hollywood, it's estimated that he's the only director who doesn't have a mobile phone. Even Robert has changed his smartphone. "

"Ha, it seems that the whole Hollywood has a grudge against Chris, not just the film companies." Lanli laughs happily. Because there is no mobile phone, Christopher's contact and communication become very difficult. If Christopher is a "natural human" living in a remote town or even in the mountains and forests, there will be no problem; But Christopher is one of Hollywood's top directors, which is easy to cause all kinds of inconvenience.

"But... Don't worry. The crew has been officially cleared, and Chris can now devote himself to post production make complaints about it.

The later shooting of "Star Trek" was much smoother than expected. Lanli's excellent performance became the backbone of the whole crew. In less than three weeks, all the shooting had been announced. Originally, it was the heaviest and most difficult stage, but the shooting process was the smoothest and fastest.

As Langley said, now the whole production team of "Star Trek" is engaged in intensive post production.

Originally, Warner Bros. hoped that this work could catch up with this year's summer season, but now it seems that the schedule is not suitable. After internal discussion and adjustment, if there is no accident, "Star Trek" will land in the Thanksgiving season, looking forward to setting off a box office storm in the holiday season, especially "gravity" Zhuyu, Warner Bros. is looking forward to it.

"Hoo, that's good news." Joel juggled the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead. "Does that mean you can stay here longer in Sundance this year?"

"This is my plan." Lan Li nodded in affirmation. If he could contribute to independent film and art creation, Lan Li would not hesitate; What's more, it can also assist Langley's grand plan, so he has no reason to refuse.

Joel immediately rubbed his hands, swaying back and forth, expressing his excitement and expectation.

Ethan's face also appeared a smile, "there are still three days before the premiere of 'pop drummer'. Now the whole park city can't wait to discuss this work. Robert also told reporters yesterday that it seems that he has never seen such a scene in the history of Sundance, and the number of viewers this year has reached an all-time high, which is really enviable."

Now in the whole North American market, in terms of popularity and popularity, lanli is worthy of the first deal, and even the bright stars of Marvel are slightly inferior; As the holy land of independent film, the Sundance Film Festival is even more so.

It doesn't need too much publicity and exaggeration. It's just moving out the name of "Langley hall". Sundance official said that Langley will not only bring his new work "pop drummer" to the exhibition, but also participate in the retrospective exhibition of Cohen brothers' works. He will personally host one day of the exhibition and have a close communication with the audience.

That's enough.

So far, the Sundance Film Festival has just started for three days, and the number of people watching movies in the same period has reached an all-time high, which is nearly 30 percentage points higher. This is a gratifying situation for any film festival.

Lan Li was not modest, but spread out his hands and said frankly, "that's why you invited me here, isn't it?"

"Ha ha, yes, yes, we have no way to refute it." Joel nodded in agreement.

Lanli's self-confidence and pride are always like this, with a solemn calm, not showing off or arrogance, but a deep inside story burst out from the inside out, without any offensive, but holding his position openly - his praise, he will not be modest; He doesn't want glory that doesn't belong to him.

People who like it like it more than those who hate it.

Joel belongs to the former.
