“clang! clang! clang！”
The hourly chime of Big Ben echoes over the Thames River. The simple and sonorous bell still seems to be able to capture the charm and precipitation of the long river of history. People can't help but stop and take in the busy and crowded streets. Pause your life for a moment, quietly enjoy this brief moment of purity, and leave yourself a moment of tranquility, even if it is just the moment of ringing the bell..
But in real life, London is an international metropolis with people coming and going, but few people have the time or leisure to stop. The non-stop daily life that can’t breathe is like a rushing torrent, constantly pushing forward. , until a certain moment of a certain day, when you stop without warning, you can notice that those accustomed fragments in life take on a different look..
Renly and Emma both fell silent, listening intently to the bells.
It started at nine o'clock, and in the blink of an eye it was already twelve o'clock.
Immersed in the conversation, Renly didn't notice the passage of time at all. Three hours seemed to be just a blink of an eye. The only change was that the coffee on the table had been replaced by a pot..
It has to be said that among the stars of Hollywood's Vanity Fair, Christopher Nolan and his wife are indeed an anomaly. They still maintain an ordinary daily life, and their children and family have always lived a simple and even simple life. With Beckham The Tom family, the Kardashian family, etc. form a sharp contrast..
Of course, these are two different education methods and lifestyles. There is no superiority or criticism, only choice and suitability..
When the bells stopped ringing, neither Renly nor Emma had any special expressions or any unexpected jerkiness. It seemed as if they had just paused and listened to the bells as a matter of course..
“For Chris, this has been part of his life since childhood." Emma said with a smile, "So, even if there is no mobile phone or watch, his life will not be disturbed too much..”
Renly's eyebrows slightly raised, "Then he must be very, very unaccustomed to life in Los Angeles." Not only because there is no Big Ben chiming there, but also because it is filled with all kinds of modern and prosperous scenes..
Emma understood it instantly and laughed happily, "He's not that old-fashioned, otherwise, the visual effects of the movie would not be possible. He is just... Old-school (Old-School)）.”
“Of course, definitely. So, what is his opinion on IMAX? "Renly asked seriously..
IMAX film is one of the most advanced photography technologies now, and can bring the best visual experience, and Christopher is one of the most famous and strong supporters of IMAX in Hollywood. Thirty minutes of "The Dark Knight" used IMAX Film shooting completed.
Obviously, IMAX and old school are two antonyms. The ridicule hidden in Renly's words is really profound. This made Emma spread her hands and expressed helpless surrender, and then issued a friendly invitation, "It's almost time now." Now, I wonder if we have the honor to invite you to lunch？”
Generally speaking, lunch time should be around one o'clock in the afternoon. But the current time is a bit inconsistent. It is just twelve o'clock, and it is in a transitional stage where you can either keep customers or drive away customers. Emma finally chose to stay. , although they don’t usually have the opportunity to invite a hereditary noble to their home for dinner every day, ordinary home-cooked food seems a bit rude..
“Thanks for the invitation." Renly nodded with a smile, "But unfortunately, I have already made an appointment for lunch and my stay has been longer than expected. Now it seems that we can only wait for the next time. I hope this is not our last. A great conversation, and hopefully not my last visit. But, thank you so much for the coffee, and the hospitality.”
“Really? That's really a pity." Emma expressed her regret sincerely, "However, I am also slightly relieved. I was still worried about whether there were enough ingredients in the refrigerator, but now it seems a little too late to go to the supermarket. , it would be rude if the lunch was too basic.”
From the little joke, it can be seen that Emma is still a little more relaxed than when they first met. As she spoke, Emma still noticed the hidden meaning of the surname Hall at all times; but the seriousness of the matter was serious. The sense of tension and caution is diminishing. This is a good thing.
“As far as I know, the queen doesn't get delicacies every day." Renly said in an extremely serious tone, Emma reacted for a moment, and then laughed happily..
Renly and Emma both stood up and left the backyard porch..
“Are you ready to leave now? "Emma once again spoke out to persuade her to stay..
Renly nodded in affirmation and said in a relaxed tone, "Although the traffic in London is not as bad as New York, it is still enough to cause a headache. In order to avoid missing the appointment time for lunch, I need to leave now. Not to mention, prepare the children. our lunch, this is definitely not an easy task, I should leave more time for you.”
“Phew, you are reminding me of a cruel reality." Emma couldn't help but raise her forehead..
While talking, there was a burst of messy footsteps in the direction of the living room. Flora ran over quickly and stood at the interface between the living room and the corridor, her round eyes moving curiously. He looked at Renly carefully, but didn't say anything. Without any warning, he turned around again, rushed towards the stairs on the other side, and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye..
Emma noticed Renly's surprised gaze, and she shrugged, "I don't understand what happened. Huh, the world of children is really far different from what they imagined. Even if she is already the fourth, I Still learning.”
“When we lose that childlike innocence, does it mean we can never get it back? "Renly said in a brisk tone, "Actually, sometimes, things are not that simple, but they are not that complicated either. I don't know if you have heard of Maurice-Sendak, who once published a children's book Illustration books, in the 1960s, I think we can find some inspiration for the children's world he presented..”
“Maurice Sendak? "Emma cast her gaze curiously.
“Yes, that illustration was made into a movie in 2009, 'Where the Wild Things Are', a work by Spike-Jones." Renly made the introduction sincerely.
Emma nodded repeatedly to show her understanding, "I can see that you really like children very much.".”
“They always have what we have lost, youth, innocence, childlike innocence, enthusiasm, and simplicity." Not only did Renly not deny it, but he also said frankly, "The reason why Peter Pan doesn't want to grow up, I always think. , not because he is greedy for the happiness and beauty of childhood, but because he escapes the cruelty and coldness of adulthood. However, sometimes I can’t tell the difference between the two..”
While talking, Renly and Emma had already arrived at the door, and Christopher also appeared..
“Roy, Oliver, Manus, come and say goodbye to the guests." Emma caught the children's figures from the corner of her sight, so she raised her voice and said.
Renly was not polite and stood there with a smile waiting. Then he saw the three boys neatly appearing in front of Christopher. After waving goodbye, Oliver and Manus turned around and disappeared, leaving only The next series of laughter echoed in the room. Roy was a little panicked and immediately turned around and chased his brothers..
Emma and Christopher's expressions were a little reserved, but Renly chuckled, "I think maybe among the memories that Cooper misses, there are moments like this, a daily life that is a little helpless but also a little happy..”
After saying that, Renly put on his coat again, picked up his umbrella again, then opened the door and walked away under the watchful eyes of the Nolans..
“What? What did he mean by that last sentence? "Emma looked at her husband curiously.
Christopher exhaled softly, "About the script content of the project. I need to make a call to Jonathan..”
“Is he also a great screenwriter? "Emma was slightly surprised. This man is naturally Renly..
“No, he is a terrible screenwriter, and he has countless fantastic ideas that may not really come in handy." Christopher complained bluntly, "But he is an excellent top actor. I don't know if his ideas can actually be used. Something came up, but I really need to talk to Jonathan..”
Then, Christopher turned and walked towards his study room.
Emma was still standing at the door, looking at the drizzle in front of her, and her mind couldn't help but start to recollect every bit of this morning again..
In fact, nothing has been determined yet. Whether Renly can successfully star in "Interstellar", which company should invest in "Interstellar", how the specific filming and post-production division of labor should be allocated, and other actors and casts How to complete the selection of the lineup, and most importantly, whether Renly's salary proposal can be passed... everything is still up in the air..
Emma further thought of two other projects that Thomas Tull was directly or indirectly related to, "Jurassic Park" and "Fast and Furious". The situation was almost the same, which also meant that the high-level power of Warner Bros. The turbulence and momentum brought about by the struggle will continue for some time, and the specific results are still unpredictable..
But Emma still couldn't help but start to think about what the filming of "Interstellar" would be like after Renly joined the cast.？
Maybe, this is the charm of Renly？
Slowly, Emma closed the door, turned around and saw Roy standing not far away, "What's wrong?？”
Roy thought for a while, turned around, but then stopped again and asked hesitantly, "...that gentleman just now, is he an actor?"？”
The children of the Nolan family are not isolated from the outside world. They also watch movies and have their own spare time life. However, the works Renly has starred in so far are either independent films with a heavy literary atmosphere or adrenaline-filled actions. The movie is actually not close to their movie-watching tastes. Not to mention Roy, not even Christopher and Emma have watched it..
Emma nodded affirmatively, "Yes, what's the matter?？”
Roy did not answer the question, but continued to ask, "So, will he shoot his father's works next?"？”
“This is our plan." Emma replied in the affirmative..
Roy nodded vigorously, but in the end he didn't say anything. He turned around and left in a flash..
Emma was confused: Did she miss something?？
