The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone) - Chapter 2491
On the floor where Matthew lives, just downstairs, standing in front of the corner window and looking out, the colorful night of New York City spreads from under his feet. The splendid and bright spots of light suddenly outline the outline of the city, bright and noisy. Incomparable, but extremely quiet, there is a kind of wonderful thrilling.
After a long time, Lan Li turned around and walked towards the kitchen. Looking at the small mountain in front of him, he couldn’t help but start to worry; then he saw a pool of water in front of the refrigerator and chicken breast next to the sink, and opened it. You can also see chicken **** full of Dangdang after the refrigerator.
Lan Li’s gaze stopped, and he stood in front of the refrigerator, staring at the pile of chicken **** in a daze.
“Snapped.”
Lan Li didn’t do anything. He closed the refrigerator again, turned around and picked up the phone again, dialed another number, and the phone rang for a while before being transferred to the voice mail box; instead of leaving a message, he hung up the phone. , Redialed again, waiting for a while, the phone was finally connected, and a slightly panicked voice came from the other end.
“Len Li?”
The unexpected situation caused Lan Li’s mouth to rise slightly, “Andy, are you busy? I can call back later.”
“Len Li, I am married and have a happy family. Therefore, I am busy enjoying the two-person world with Mrs. Rogers. I think this is a matter of course. You should learn to check the time before making a call, otherwise , Who knows.” Andy spit out angrily.
“Sorry, my impoliteness.” Lan Li did not quibble, and simply admitted his mistake. “But you have to admit that we have worked together for so long, but you have never invited me to your home, nor have you ever Introduce your wife and children to me. This is your mistake.”
“Who? Lanly again?” There was a low, whispering noise on the other end of the phone. It could be heard that Andy’s wife didn’t like Lanly.
Lan Li pursed his lips and smiled, “Please apologize to Mrs. Rogers instead of me.”
Andy did not continue to entangle these details with Lanly, because he knew that Lanly was very difficult to deal with, “So, it’s one o’clock in the morning in New York, you just called to tell me what happened today? You should know , The music festival is completely messed up here, right?”
Although Lan Li left the airport, the driver was Nathan. They knew where Lan Li was going, but they didn’t know the specific reason.
“Don’t worry, I will be there tomorrow afternoon. You can book a ticket for the afternoon or evening.” Lan Li did not explain the reason, but only conveyed the result.
“Are you sure? The “graduate” scene won’t be staged this time?” Andy didn’t delve into it.
Although it is indeed a pity that Lan Li was absent from the official opening and first day of the Pioneer Village Music Festival, it is not a major event strictly speaking.
All the links of the music festival are ready, they only need to step by step to unveil the big curtain. Lan Li’s absence will not cause paralysis; and Lan Li’s performance is arranged at the end of the last day to complete the festival, as long as If Lan Li can be on stage on time, there is no problem.
The main reason was that Lan Li’s temporary turn around disrupted the rhythm and deployment of the festival, and everyone inevitably panicked. They couldn’t help but worry about whether Lan Li could appear on time on the third day.
Facing Andy’s joking, Lan Li chuckled lightly, “In order not to delay your family life, I will make a quick deal. I am calling to tell you…” Lan Li paused for a while, “I’m ready. Starred in “Manchester by the Sea”.” After speaking, Lan Li let out a long breath and relaxed.
“What?” Andy was very surprised.
Because Lan Li is not the kind of whim that “says one thing, one thing”, at least not at work. Now that Lanly has rejected this project, he will not regret it; but now he has turned back, what is going on?
Moreover, the time point is also worth studying.
Lan Li didn’t hesitate, and formally made up his mind, “Yes, you heard it right, I have already made a decision.”
Andy was stunned, “…Uh…but, as far as I know, they have begun to negotiate a new candidate. Matt Damon seems to have recommended Casey Affleck. I can’t be completely sure, but I To be sure, they are indeed looking for new actors. Lan Li, what happened?”
Compared to Pioneer Village Music Festival or “Manchester by the Sea”, Andy is more worried about Lanly’s state.
“Andy, I’m fine.” Lan Li chuckled lightly. “Trust me, I’m fine now. This is a fact.”
Andy still didn’t dare to relax his vigilance.
“I know that backlash is not the work of a gentleman. I rejected them at the beginning and now regret it. This is also a trouble for them. But…” Lan Li thought about it seriously, and said solemnly, “But , I sincerely hope to be able to play this role in this movie.”
“Andy, if necessary, I am willing to participate in auditions and compete fairly with other actors. Please be sure to express my apologies and my sincerity.” Lan Li said sincerely, while Andy was caught in a brainstorming— —Because he truly felt the enthusiasm and determination in Lan Li’s words:
The familiar Lan Li is back.
“Andy, I know it’s not easy, sorry.” Lan Li can understand how troublesome Andy’s work is.
“No, no, no.” Andy finally came back to his senses, “It’s okay, this was originally my job, and those things that offend people are left to me to solve.” Andy is not worried about Kenneth at all. Ronaghan, his attention is still on Lan Li, “Just, Lan Li, are you really sure?”
“Yes.” Lan Li gave a straightforward answer.
Andy breathed a sigh of relief, “Okay, I see. Leave it to me. No audition is required. You can start reading the script and get ready to act.”
“So confident?” Lan Li chuckled lightly.
Andy raised his eyebrows slightly, “Len Li, please have some confidence in me, and please have some confidence in you, okay?”
“Ha, then I am waiting for your good news.” Lan Li also followed up lightly.
Hanging up the phone, Andy sat on the edge of the bed, thinking about it carefully, and then his smile couldn’t help but bloom: Lan Li finally really came back.
“What’s the matter? Why do you suddenly smile so brilliantly, you look like a bulldog!” His wife’s grieving spit was heard in the ear, but Andy didn’t care at all, stood up and walked towards his wife. “Lan Li asked me to say hello to you and express my sincere apologies.”
On the other side of the North American continent, Lan Li also hung up, fixed his eyes on the bright night view of New York, and then turned and walked towards the kitchen——
The small hills in front of him still have to be cleaned up, otherwise, not to mention whether Matthew will explode directly, at least the kitchen may be messed up, and all the food may be destroyed. Of course, the most important thing is that Matthew may explode on the spot, and he thinks it would be better to organize it.
But…where should I start?
The night belonging to New York is still long. Who can imagine that Lanly is doing housework in the kitchen? Or in other words, who can imagine such a picture?
And the night belonging to Indio is carnival-at least for Don Quixotes, they can’t imagine what Renly is doing, and they don’t have time to think about it for the time being, because the Pioneer Village Music Festival has not yet The official show, but their party has already begun.
No one can refuse the Pioneer Village Music Festival.
It sounds ridiculous. After all, this is a folk music festival, and it’s only the first. Even if it has Lanly-Hall, its appeal is far from comparable to those top music festivals; but the Internet frenzy has taken on a different look. A little bit gives the Pioneer Village Music Festival a sacred mission——
The gathering place of Don Quixote, the dream place of niche culture and minority groups, the cultural symbol of fighting fast food culture and entertainment to the death of the Internet era frenzy, emphasizing individuality and self, insisting on dreams and beliefs, a place of pilgrimage, Just like… Woodstock back then.
In 1969, Woodstock was also a rock music festival for the first time. It was disgusted by the government, ridiculed by mainstream superstars, and shunned by mainstream media. It seemed that only hippies would go to a party of monsters and ghosts; but after the end of World War II The decadence and depression, pessimism, and pain that have never dissipated, but gave Woodstock a different meaning, and eventually developed into a mark of American culture and history.
In 2015, the same was true for Pioneer Village. Starting from the powerful influence of Lanli, but gradually deviating from the original track during the promotion process, social networks have given this music festival more meaning, more important and deeper meaning:
From movies to music, from “Don Quixote” to “Burst Drummer”, and so on, since Renly appeared on the small screen through the “Pacific War”, he has always insisted on himself, even in entertainment to death. In the torrent of the times when interests are paramount, he still has not changed his original intention, and pursues his dream wholeheartedly, which is called the contemporary Don Quixote.
However, ~www.mtlnovel.com~ has a more profound practical significance behind the name Don Quixote. When fast food culture begins to occupy the mainstream of people’s spiritual life, can the space for artistic creation and philosophical thinking continue to survive? If the answer is no, will the meaning of human existence gradually escape into nothingness? Because only by exploring the spiritual world outside of the material, can human beings be able to confirm their existence:
Who am I, where am I from, where am I going.
This is the long-standing self-thinking of human beings. However, the fast-paced life under the fast-food culture is quietly destroying the thinking ability of the younger generation. So, where will humanity go?
Lanly’s persistence is not only Don Quixote’s persistence, but also the few persistence of those who refuse to be overwhelmed by the trend of the times.
The problem is that everyone says that the torrent of the times is unstoppable, and the fast-food culture in the Internet age is prevailing, so what should they do? Just let it go?
No, of course not!
They should unite, they should gather, just like Woodstock back then, to express their ideas with practical actions!
