Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

The car is driving slowly on Manhattan Island. The cold winter has reduced the number of pedestrians on the street, but the bad traffic situation has not been improved much. As we walk, the neon lights are lit up one after another. Get up, let the city bid farewell to the prosperity of the day, showing a different style.

Annie was lying beside the window excitedly, staring at the bustling and noisy outside the window.

Because of illness, work and rest time must strictly follow the doctor's orders; moreover, both parents are busy with work, and often need more rest at night. Therefore, it is rare for Annie to be able to come out at night. "One Man's Concert" is one time, and the Grammy Awards is one time. Other than that, there are very few.

But Annie just watched silently. Even if she was curious, she didn't shout. Even if she was confused, she didn't ask.

Seeing this, Paul slapped the driver's seat and told the driver softly that he should slow down, there is no need to be too anxious.

Although Paul's voice was very soft, Annie still heard it and turned her head to look at Paul. Her eyes were shining brightly, and there was a big smile on the corner of her mouth. She seemed to want to say something, but she turned shyly after all. He turned his head, looked at the window again, and said nothing.

Slowly, slowly, but finally reached the destination.

Paul took the initiative to get out of the car, opened the car door, and after waiting for Annie to get out of the car, he protected Annie's back, closed the car door, and stood there waiting for the traffic light at the intersection, then a touch of warmth came from his right hand, and he lowered his head, Paul could see that Anne was holding his right hand carefully.

A small movement made the corners of Paul's mouth rise.

"Is that the Pioneer Village?" Annie's voice couldn't hide the joyous excitement, and she even jumped up lightly, as if the whole world was brighter. After Paul's confirmation answer was heard in her ear, Annie couldn't wait to ask, "But, why are there so many people tonight? Wow, the entire line has gone all the way to the other side of the street! Can't see the tail!"

Paul also noticed the abnormally long queue at the entrance of the bar just now. He was stunned for a moment, and then he heard Annie's question and laughed dumbly, "They are just like you, they are here to watch the show tonight."

"However, this is a filming, not a concert. Don't you mean that other people are not allowed to come and disturb the filming site? Tonight, we must also keep quiet and not disturb Renly's work?" The little girl who didn't say anything, but now she started asking questions word by word, with a stubborn light in her eyes, as if she had to ask to the end.

Is it because of Renly?

Paul bent down and explained solemnly, "When filming, we need extras to cooperate with the director's shooting to present the ordinary people in the film, and then form a complete picture together."

"Ah! I see. It's like those small town residents who watched the fight in 'Kung Fu Panda', right?" , they were fighting like two idiots, that would be so funny." As she spoke, Annie burst into laughter, as if she was filling in the picture.

Paul laughed along with it, "Yes, that's it. Today, we're here as extras too. So, we can't interrupt Renly's work, but we can enjoy the show like a real audience, and then serve Renly. applaud."

Today is the first day of the official launch of "Drunken Country Ballads".

After deliberation and discussion, the Coen brothers decided to complete filming in the chronological order of the story.

One is because the whole movie is relatively simple, and it is easier for the director to grasp the context of the story by shooting in chronological order; Such delicate changes often require more speculation, and the differences are more subtle than imagined. Shooting in chronological order is undoubtedly more suitable for actors to play.

So, the first scene on the first day of startup was Le Verne's live performance at the Kerosene Lamp Bar. It forms a circular intertext with the last scene of the film, which begins with the performance and ends with the performance.

According to the original plan of the script, Le Verne was supposed to perform two tracks, "hang-me, oh, hang-me" and "wave goodbye".

But the Coen brothers and Renly gave up the "wave goodbye" after in-depth discussions and analysis.

As Renly said, "Wait Goodbye" is a special song, which is a song that LeVern collaborated with his partner. It has a special meaning at the beginning and the end. As a dark line of LeVern's character, it further enriches the performance. and plot.

If at the opening, Le Verne sings alone, and through the details of the performance to outline the complex mentality of Le Verne's mouth full of bitterness, to a certain extent, this has a somewhat similar part to the ending, which destroys the opening. The design intention of echoing and contrasting with the ending further affects the sublimation of the ending performance.

So, for the opening show, Le Verne sang just one song.

Then, following the promotion of the camera, to capture the living state of LeVine, and then LeVien and his partner's version of "Wait Goodbye" is cut in as the background music, and the studio version is played; and through the delicate differences in performance, the melody and reality are highlighted The gap of the song conveys the true meaning of the song,

Finally, when the ending arrives, complete the intertext.

Tonight, the crew of "Drunken Country Ballads" officially started the filming of the first scene in Pioneer Village.

Different from other crews, in order to present the real texture of that era as much as possible, the Coen brothers chose to complete the shooting at night for the first scene of the start, and invited the audience to experience the performance after three rounds of drinking. In the first scene, an invitation was issued to the senior fans of folk songs, hoping that they would cooperate with the filming as extras.

Anne was also part of the extras.

She has always hoped to be able to watch Renly perform live, and this performance is the best opportunity; moreover, Paul just came to New York to visit Renly after the filming of "Gravity", so he became a nanny the best candidate. However, Annie will not be in the camera, but will sit in the corner and enjoy the performance.

Before the official shooting tonight, the crew did not leak any news, because the Coen brothers directed Renly and Justin, the two popular superstars, how powerful they were. They did not want to destroy the realism of the whole shooting scene, and become a fan and Idol's private meeting.

The crew issued an invitation letter through Pioneer Village, in the name of Pioneer Village, inviting folk fans living in Greenwich Village to attend and enjoy a performance by an independent folk singer, including three singers, Troy Nelson , Al Cody and LeVine Davis.

Even the most seasoned ballad lover would be confused and never heard the names of the three singers—because they were all characters in "Drunken Country Ballads," a name entirely made up by the Coen brothers.

But in the field of contemporary independent folk music, it is really normal. There are countless unknown independent singers. Standing on the streets of Greenwich Village, there may be three out of ten people who pass by. Three are singers. The three actors are down-and-out artists, and the remaining one is a tourist who came to join in the fun.

The Pioneer Village made a formal announcement and cordially invited the audience to come to the show; the only special requirement was that the audience must be dressed in 1960s clothing, casual, formal, flamboyant, unpretentious , all can, but must be from the sixties.

This is not unusual.

New York is called the city that never sleeps because it is a city full of surprises in its nightlife, and themed parties are just one of them. Pedestrians of different ages, styles, and themes can be seen coming and going in the streets, even if it's not Halloween.

In Pioneer Village, this is very normal, as if it is a performance that can be seen in Pioneer Village every day.

What if the audience doesn't come?

The Coen brothers were not worried at all. Because in the story of the movie, this is an ordinary bar performance, about 20 or 30 people are enough, even if there are only a dozen people, this is in line with the plot setting.

With the appeal of the pioneer village, there is no problem in summoning a dozen or twenty senior music lovers to attend; on the contrary, if too many people come, it will easily destroy the Coen brothers' shooting plan and cause unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, the entire crew kept a low profile and tried their best to avoid leaking news.

But apparently, the plan failed.

When Paul and Annie arrived at the Pioneer Village, the long queue at the gate had already formed a mighty line, and more than a hundred people could be seen within sight, queuing up excitedly and waiting to enter; Turning the corner behind him, there is an invisible long dragon.

What's even more interesting is that everyone is wearing retro clothes from the 1960s, there is nothing particularly exaggerated, just shirts, suits, top hats, bow ties, but little by little they bring Greenwich Village back. Long ago half a century ago.

Paul took Annie's little hand and, accompanied by Nathan, walked across the crosswalk at the crossroads and walked towards the Pioneer Village. When they came to the door, the crowd cast their gazes, and there was someone immediately. Recognizing Paul, he couldn't hold back his emotions and shouted, "Hey, Paul!"

Paul waved politely, and the crowd began to stir.

"Paul, it's really Paul! That's true! The singer performing here tonight is really Renly! God testify, Paul is Renly's closest friend! Ah, ah, Renly, really It's Renly!"
