1997In 2007, Christopher Nolan had just graduated from college. He spent $6,000 to shoot every weekend. It took him a year to complete the shooting of his debut feature film "Following", and then came to Los Angeles, hoping to After finding development opportunities, he officially settled in this city and built a stable life of his own..
In fact, Christopher is British. He and his wife Emma-Thomas met when they were students at University College London. One was twenty and the other nineteen, and they fell in love. Later, they fell in love. , for Christopher's film career, Emma followed her husband to settle in Los Angeles and became a producer.
Christopher Nolan is a very nostalgic and very conservative die-hard：
He is a loyal supporter of film movies, he is a staunch supporter of traditional cinema, and he is a supporter of old school shooting techniques. Although, his movies are full of all kinds of wild imagination, computer Special effects are inevitable; but as long as the shooting can be completed using actual scenes, he will never use green screen——
Because he personally hates the visual distortion and distortion caused by green screen shooting. When filming "Inception", in order to create a real visual experience, he even did not hesitate to build a large number of containers or related rooms, insisting on Everything was shot with real guns.
In this regard, Christopher Nolan and Alfonso Cuaron can be said to be exactly 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 only one of the tools to realize ideas, and movies are ultimately still We must return to film and reality. Methods and methods can be changed, but the core cannot..
It is worth mentioning that Christopher still does not have a mobile phone or email, let alone a smartphone. Even among the entire Hollywood, he is a maverick and anomaly. If you want to find Christopher, you must either have a landline. Either that or through his wife Emma, there was no other option, not even for the agent.
In addition, Christopher was strictly prohibited from using mobile phones on the set..
Everything is done in the style of an old pedant. It’s hard to imagine that this is actually the director who shot such post-modern styles as “Inception” and “The Dark Knight”; people who don’t know almost think that Christopher is an antique from the 19th century. Woolen cloth.
This is Christopher. Every summer, he and his wife still return to the UK for vacation with their children. The importance of family to Christopher is reflected in "Inception", "Interstellar" and "Dunkirk" You can really feel it in the movie, so every summer vacation is like this, unshakable.
Now the "Interstellar" movie is still in a state of confusion. It is not yet known how the battle between Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures will end; but what is certain is that Renly hopes to be a part of this project. , so, putting aside the fight for investors for the time being, Renly decided to have a face-to-face conversation with Christopher..
……
Returning to London again, Renly felt nothing special..
The last time I returned to London, the Olivier Awards, the Earl of Oxford's Dinner, and a complete breakup seemed to have gone through a lot of changes in a short period of time; after that, the Cannes Film Festival, learning the drums, and the filming of "Explosive Drummer" seemed to have not happened yet. I had time to experience it carefully and devote myself to my work wholeheartedly. Two months have flown by..
Looking back now, it feels a little like a world away.
However, for Renly, it didn't have much special meaning. After singing "This is Me" and releasing all the thoughts in his heart, he had decided to completely open the page of the past. What's more, during the filming of "Exploding Drummer", he truly completed the reconciliation with himself and felt relaxed both physically and mentally..
Not only was he not nervous, on the contrary, Renly was vaguely looking forward to it. This seemed to be the first time since he left London to pursue his dream in New York that he could truly let go of his guard and return to this city, no matter what. , this is where his life started, isn't it?？
The plane landed slowly at Heathrow International Airport. Just look at the hot air containing dense water vapor outside the window and you will know that you have set foot on the land of England again..
This time, Renly chose to fly first class. The main reason was to avoid commotion and chaos. This is one of the sequelae of becoming famous and rising in popularity. There is no longer any way to walk low-key and casually among the daily crowd, "Roman Holiday" Leo This is the case with the princess played by Delly Hepburn. If you pay, you will be rewarded, and if you gain, there will be a price..
First-class passengers can leave the airport directly through the VIP lane, and ordinary passengers will not even realize which VIPs are on this flight..
After leaving the airport, VIPs can wait in the VIP lounge, and the airline will be responsible for arranging a pick-up vehicle, and then transport their luggage directly to the vehicle - if there is a dedicated vehicle to pick up the airport, the airline will also Transport luggage directly to private vehicle.
Now, Renly comes to the VIP lounge.
As soon as he entered the door, Renly saw the busy Hat-Wesley, the butler of the Dunlop family..
“Hey, Hatter." Renly stood there, waiting for Hatter to turn around and say hello with a smile..
“Master Renly." Haite also showed a look of surprise, but did not make a fuss. There was a touch of relief in his eyes. After bowing politely, he walked up, keeping a decent distance, "Come back this time. , did you make a special trip to the Lake District for vacation? Now is a good time, the sun is not too harsh, but at the same time you can enjoy the coolness of the water.”
This is the true noble etiquette. There is no spying on Renly's personal situation, no inquiry into the purpose of Renly's return, and no unnecessary gossip about Renly. They are just chatting on universal topics like the Lake District and expressing polite greetings. Yu, with a little intimacy. Proper advancement and retreat, full of propriety.
Renly showed a slight smile, "No, Hatter, you know, I don't like the Lake District. I came back this time for work." Although Hatter still had no expression, Renly was the one Haite watched since childhood. Having grown up, he naturally knew Haite's personality, and he chuckled to himself, "I know, I know, I am a workaholic. But this is the only advantage that young people have, isn't it?？”
A warm smile flashed in Haite's eyes, "Young Master Matthew is like this too..”
“That's why we can become friends." Renly nodded gently and said, "By the way, Matthew is fine, everything is fine." Although Hatter did not ask, Renly knew that this was Hatter's greatest concern. Got it.
Sure enough, after Renly finished speaking, Hayter nodded politely to express his gratitude..
At this moment, another figure took the initiative to greet him and said hello with a smile, "Good afternoon." There was no long time no see or a warm hug, just a simple good afternoon, "You will also take this trip." flight? Why didn’t I see you on the plane?？”
The visitor is Henry Dunlop, Matthew Dunlop's eldest brother. At the same time, he is also the one who is about to get married..
Henry and Renly are not familiar with each other, from age to personality to profession. Henry, like Matthew, inherited the family's profession and is now a prosecutor and is working towards the position of judge; but Henry is more serious and cunning than Matthew, and is not resistant to becoming a politician if given the opportunity.
Coupled with their age, Henry and Renly don't actually have much interaction with each other. Their understanding of each other is naturally limited..
“I'm used to sleeping hard after boarding the plane to adjust to the jet lag." Renly explained simply that he was basically in a semi-asleep state on the plane. Not to mention other strangers, even the flight attendants had very limited opportunities to communicate..
Henry nodded lightly in disbelief, not that he didn't believe it, but that he didn't care at all. No matter what the answer was, it was just polite greetings in social situations. "Not long ago, I made a special trip to the Almeida Theater to watch 'Les Misérables. ', the story is still the same good story, but everyone said that your version is still different after all, and Elf also agreed..”
Elf also agreed.
This sentence seems to have profound meaning..
Does this mean that Elf represents the Hall family and truly recognizes Renly's existence? So, have George and Elizabeth's attitudes also changed? Furthermore, Elf took the initiative to express her opinion during the conversation with Henry. Does this mean that after the Earl of Oxford's private party, the trend of London's upper class has changed?？
A short sentence, but worth pondering carefully.
However, Renly didn't say much, "Thank you for the compliment. I believe that every actor standing on the West End stage has his own style and skills. How about, do you still enjoy the whole performance?？”
“Of course, the same story still has different tastes. John Cord's work is indeed worthy of recognition." Henry did not defend or discuss too much, and continued along with Renly's words. The simple and clear conversation style was suitable for social situations. It’s just normal and will never go too deep..
“Did Philip come to pick you up at the airport today? "Henry turned to look at Hatter and asked..
The seemingly mindless question hides another layer of meaning: What standards and attitudes does the Hall family hold towards Renly's return? In Henry's view, Philippe Demba, the butler, must come. This is another signal, a meaningful signal..
The information and signals revealed in just a few words exactly show the education and attitude of the British aristocrats..
Haidt bowed politely and said, "Never.”
Henry didn't say much. He looked at Renly again and politely extended an invitation, "Let's go together. I'll give you a lift. I'll go to Kensington.".”
