I have a classmate in Sydney named Claudia, a Polish-Australian girl with a round face, big breasts and blond hair. She smiles like an apple. Once a professional class asked us to "make stories with natural recording" on Parrot Island. Claudia and I were put in a group. You have to take the train to the dock and then take the boat. After a long journey, Claudia talked to me about a place name: LA.
What I want to say below is related to #lalaland#. This can be considered a very late repo for me. La La Land I accompanied different people to the theater and watched it three times. Now I can recite my lines and play the city of the stars on the piano every morning......^q^
I like this movie very much, but the look and feel is different from that of many friends who also like this movie. For example, several of my friends saw that in the last ten minutes, they cried in a chair and became stupid. I didn't shed a single tear, and even laughed because I felt so happy. I seemed to have a particularly pleasant and fulfilling dream. The dream is a long and melodious song. There is a place name in the song that appears countless times-just like when Claudia was sitting on the train seat opposite me, jumping up excitedly, again. Repeat again and again: LA, Dan, LA, im heading to LA!!
Claudia is so yearning for LA. How can film students not yearn for LA? In the first class, our teacher asked everyone to raise their hands and say who wants to make movies instead of TV in the future, and then 8% Ten students all raised their hands and laughed and said, why are you guys sitting in a class in Sydney? Why don’t you pack up and go to LA? Finally, I pointed to the picture of Hugh Jackman in the corridor and said, students, see where all the alumni went in the end.
Claudia must have made up his mind to go to LA, not sooner or later, but now immediately. On the way to Cockatoo Island, she told me that she had taken a few vacations to travel to LA to explore the way, and everything was ready, "I'm going to be really past!" I said, what is a true past? She said of course as a resident, she became a film practitioner there, and lived there forever!
I looked at her stupidly and said, you are an Australian, what do you think?
At the end of her sophomore year, Claudia applied for the school's foreign exchange and chose LA's film school. A year later, she returned to Sydney with a short film shot in LA and completed her final graduation project. She found me and said that she didn't plan to attend the graduation ceremony, and she couldn't wait to go back to LA. I said I can't wait for a few months. She said that because she had to go back and get the marriage off!
It turns out that in the year Claudia went to LA to exchange, she was studying while working part-time. Not only did she adapt herself in a coffee shop, but she also made scene notes for the crew. As the legend says, LA is full of people who "aspire to and are engaged in the film and television industry". There are film students, actors and actresses, theater workers, screenwriters with painstaking writing, various crews that hold meetings every day, and glamorous people. Bright stars and luxury houses...Of course, there are also the oldest Hollywood bridges that have been staged countless times:
After finally having a vacation, the American soldier went to Hollywood for a vacation and walked into a cafe casually. Because he ordered the wrong cup of coffee, he met Claudia, an adaptable student. They fell in love quickly and settled for life. An Australian girl and an American soldier decided to live together despite all the difficulties. In order to get married before the soldiers returned to the army, Claudia did not attend the graduation ceremony in Sydney, and ran back to LA like a happy bird. Later, I saw a photo of two people painting a small house together on FB, the paint stuck to them in a mess, and the two people were kissing while holding brushes.
Now, Claudia, who is already a wife, works as a director's assistant + drama screenwriter in LA. Her soldier husband has spent a long military service and has returned to their nest. The two of them are working hard to manage their dreams and lives.
Claudia is the "most LA" person I know in reality, and her story is a typical LA story. The dreams of "how is it possible" and "there is no logic at all", the miracles of "I'm going to do it!" and "I made it!" all come from La La Land, from Utopia, from DreamWorks...they It's a special confession from LA. Even if countless people fail miserably on the road, they have to jump over their gleaming spirit to climb to the top.
So I watched La La Land, from the very first shot, it was enthusiastic and emotional. Hundreds of cars and hundreds of dancers performed the highway singing and dancing scenes. I was dumbfounded while I secretly guessed the filming process. I learned that this section was rehearsed for several months and filmed for two weekends and ended up in a high temperature of 41 degrees Celsius. In the finished shot, I saw that the director asked the crew to set up a large-screen monitor on the road to show the rough cut effect to the actors. I saw everyone applauding and cheering at the rough cut. When I saw this, I just It’s like traveling back to the class where I was sitting in the first professional class a few years ago. I heard the teacher laughing and saying that if you really dream of making a movie, you have to go to LA to see your alumni; it’s like Claudia on the way to Parrot Island. , Jumped up from the seat of the train and grabbed my hand and said, LA, Dan, LA, im heading to LA!! The moment; it’s like the first time I went out to shoot homework with tens of kilograms of equipment; It’s like drawing a stickman storyboard for the first time; it’s like showing me anxiously in class for the first time, waiting for my classmates’ feedback; it’s like the first time I’m casting an actor, I see no matter it’s more than 60 Both the old lady and the 13-year-old girl played my script seriously and intently; like Caludia and I recorded footsteps, birdsong and wind on Parrot Island, and used them to talk about saving the dragon from the big devil. Fairy tale...
LA is a city belonging to movies and stars, and La La Land is a love letter dedicated to LA. It wraps the dense LA spirit and exquisitely in a simple short story, filling a period of ordinary spring, summer, autumn and winter with dreamy love with countless details: those who will not tell the dreams of people other than lovers, that backlight station The determined figure in front of the big screen, the memory of the aunt, Paris and the Seine...
In the summer, you take your lovers to watch your sister’s engagement, and in autumn you will play alone for your sister’s wedding. Five years later, in the winter, photos of your sister’s family of three are placed in your kitchen. You and your former lover will each realize their dreams and nod their heads.
How I like it, this story can only happen in LA.
