On a hot summer afternoon, the streets and alleys of Manhattan are filled with a faint smell of water. The hunting wind is speeding through the steel forest built by high-rise buildings. The water vapor on the Hudson River is chasing and playing with the wind in the streets and alleys. The thin and lazy sunshine is falling down, and you can feel the heat restless on the surface of your skin, But walking under the shade of the tree can feel a little rare cool.

It's hard to describe exactly what it's like, but it's certain that the dense heat in the middle and upper cities can't cover the lower cities.

Walking in the disordered streets, far away from the tourist intensive areas of Wall Street and the statue of liberty, you can find a moment of comfort between the red bricks and green tiles. The busy and anxiety of the whole city seems to have slowed down, and you come to the small town of Europe from New York in a trance.

Leaving the airtight space created by the air conditioner in the recording room, you will suddenly feel relaxed, and the turbid air accumulated in your chest will be revealed for a long time.

The New Yorkers who focus on their own world do not squint. Few people look at the pedestrians curiously and walk freely on the road. Just like all the people in this city, they will not attract special attention. No one notices that the two gentlemen walking on the road deserve special attention.

That's one of the reasons why Langley likes New York. Apart from paparazzi, no one cares about other people's life. Even Lan Li can live in the turbulent crowd as if there is no one else.

"Don't you think you are too greedy?" David is curious to explore, but that calm tone inevitably with a little picky sharp.

Langley chuckled. "I didn't know that Mr. David finch was a defender who liked to judge people."

In the face of Langley's sarcastic attack, David did not panic. "I don't judge others, but public figures themselves must be judged all the time, right?"

"To be exact, everyone and everything in life is facing judgment, but how and from what point of view should we judge them? This is the key to witness the concept and value of the parties." Blue Li is still not slow appearance, but let David's calm and self become embarrassed.

But instead of attacking, he went on to reply, "you can explain it as greed, I can explain it as pluralism. I don't think we can convince each other. "

David shook his head. "I can't understand and accept that you are a great actor, maybe even the best actor ever, but you spend your time on music. It's not diversity, it's distraction." Then he added, "I'm not judging, I'm just expressing my point of view."

"The title of best actor of all time is too big. I don't want to carry such a mission. I'm just an ordinary person who loves performing. Music is my way of communicating emotions and reading life. Some people can't understand it, but it doesn't mean it's meaningless. Nevertheless, we need to thank Mr. finch for his concern; But I think Mr. finch didn't come here to give me career advice, did he

No hurry, no hurry, no arrogance, no arrogance.

Lanli's response can't be more perfect, and David has to be convinced by his leisurely appearance - if he continues, it's going to be a bone in the egg.

However, David noticed another detail: "after the recording, you look much more relaxed, so is music really your way of expressing your feelings?"

Langley wasn't ready to answer, "Mr. Finch, I can feel your concern. So, do you care about me? Or are you trying to attack me? I think you need to make a position, otherwise our conversation will be very difficult and we will be in a state of confusion all the time. "

David put his hands behind his back and shook his head. "You're avoiding problems. Does that mean you're really having some bottlenecks?"

"Ha, I thought you would say the little golden man curse." Lan Li chuckled happily.

David didn't speak. He just looked at lenley carefully.

Both of them are avoiding the topic, playing Tai Chi and attacking each other. It depends on who is the first to expose the flaw and who is the first to catch it.

Obviously, lanli, who has been in a bad state recently, lacks enough patience. His impetuous and uncontrollable attitude really makes him passive.

Of course, lanli can choose to get angry, shake David's face, and cut off this meaningless confrontation in a tough way. But lanli knows that David, just like himself, has their own persistence and problems. Most of the time, they may be annoying, but they always have their own persistence behind them.

Langley also looked at David, hesitated for a moment, he chose the real - this is the first in-depth conversation between Langley and David, and Langley is definitely not the type of casually open heart; In retrospect, Lan Li could not help guessing that he might have made a psychological hint when he nodded his head and agreed to turn on the green light for the "soul Hunter".

"I'm tired." Lanli said calmly, not complaining, not angry, not even ups and downs, but quietly stated a fact.

David was a little surprised, hard to hide.

"In the past, when I got a script and saw a character, I always had countless ideas colliding in my mind, and then began to conceive his story. Even if I didn't like the character or had no interest, I always had a kind of curiosity, just like... Butterflies gathering in my belly."

Langley smiles at David. "But now the butterfly is gone." Smile some helpless, some bitter, but more or... Tired.

So, lanli chose to record an album, let himself leave the performance environment for a short time, create a breathing space, and readjust his breathing.

David pursed the corners of his mouth. He didn't notice much emotion in his eyes, but he took his eyes back and focused on his own steps. Then his voice came stiffly, "I understand, I understand. After shooting "shudder space", I also experienced a period when I couldn't raise my interest in anything, just like in the afternoon of summer. I just wanted to stay in the swimming pool in a daze, and even alcohol couldn't raise my interest and attention. "

Blue Li slightly raised eyebrow tail, "and then?"

"Then I went to San Francisco and stayed there for a long time. In the accident, I became interested in paying attention to the twelve palaces killer. Then I began to collect his information, and then the twelve palaces was born. It's just that this process lasted five years. " David talks about the past lightly.

Then the smile on the corner of my mouth rose again. "After shooting" the girl with Dragon Tattoo "in 2011, I met the same dilemma again." David's voice was a little self mocking. "I thought it was the exhaustion of inspiration, or the talent reaching the ceiling. That's what I've been doing all my life. Of course, this is the most possible. After all, it is the case with countless talents in history. "

"You mean, you think you're a genius." Lan Li jokingly picked out the language fault.

David didn't mind, "I guess I am. At least, I always believe that, otherwise it would be too difficult to survive in Hollywood. "

Lanli burst into laughter.

The empty streets resound with the hearty laughter. The passers-by occasionally cast their eyes, but they didn't think much about it. They just glanced at it and continued to walk.

"But later, I found out that he just became picky, just like a person who likes food. He just started to taste delicious food and wanted to try everything. But over time, simple food or ordinary delicacies can't satisfy his taste buds. He must find real high-grade delicacies or return to the original delicacies to arouse his interest, We all need to find the original innocence and enthusiasm. "

David turned to look at lenley.

Langley continued, "it's just getting harder."

"It's just getting harder." David repeated the answer, saying yes.

"Then you find the lost lover," he continued

"No, I found the" soul Hunter ", just like the original" Twelve palaces. " David's words made Lan Li a little stunned, not because David mentioned the "soul Hunter", but because he also thought that there were many similarities between the "soul Hunter" and the "Twelve palaces". He didn't expect it to be so!

David didn't realize the difference of Langley, he was still immersed in his own world, "can you believe it? The inspiration for shooting "mind Hunter" was even before "house of cards". Over the years, I have been involved in many projects with success or failure, but I have never been too persistent. The only exception is "mind Hunter". I really hope to promote this project. This is the key to awaken curiosity and enthusiasm again. "

Without too much explanation, Langley can find excitement and joy in David's eyes, which is pure and can't be described by words.

Then, the excitement turned into anger, with bitter anger. "But Hollywood is like this. They can't see the profits of the twelfth house, so they refuse to accept the" mind Hunter "because the content and idea of the show are too metaphysical, and because the characters don't have aura.". God, if they want to use the superhero set to measure all creativity, then they should join marvel or DC. "

In the speech, David repeatedly made quotation marks with both hands to indicate quoting the original words, guessing that it should be the view of HBO or Nafi executives.

Even David finch has encountered such a cold reception when facing HBO and Nafi - this is already the company that dares to take risks and is good at taking risks in the industry. So, it's not hard to imagine the treatment that David suffered when he went to other production companies. Who dares to take such risks?

Perhaps, only Sisyphus pictures, even "pop drummer" such works dare to gamble, so what works is this new independent film company does not have the courage to try? What's more, Sisyphus not only dares to try, but also always succeeds.

That's why David found Sisyphus pictures.
