The Greatest Showman - Chapter 200

[199 All Night Carnival]

Looking at the sky above the head that was shrunk into the size of the mouth of a bowl by the canyon, it glowed a faint navy blue, and the faint clouds slowly drifted by, surging with a trace of silence; The agitation and excitement suppressed by the noise are far more turbulent than the roar, as if the sound of blood boiling can be clearly heard.

“Are you sure you forgot to bring your lighter? I can borrow a box of matches from someone else.” Rooney’s cold voice brought back Renly’s thoughts that were floating under the streetlights. Her voice was very distinctive, softly whispering. There is a stubborn coldness in the middle, like a hot spring volcano hidden in the snow-capped mountains.

Renly looked back, looked at the cigarette on his fingertips, and laughed dumbly, “I just want to learn how to be a rock singer, what, isn’t it?”

Rooney’s eyes twitched slightly, raised her eyes calmly He glanced at Renly without saying a word, but the contempt in his eyes said it all.

Renly twitched his lips indifferently, “I’m just thinking, this is a movie that needs to be settled.” Although he had watched “The Social Network” in his last life, but watching it again, and still sitting in the movie theater, The look and feel are different, and details that were not seen before have emerged. What’s more, “Social Network” is originally a work with a sharp style and a lot of information.

Now Renly understands why the Oscars chose “The King’s Speech” over “The Social Network” and why film critics prefer “The Social Network” over “The King’s Speech.”

Simply put, “The King’s Speech” presents retro elegance, and it is also the former glory that the college has been looking for. It is elegant, restrained, and refined, but it will not be too flamboyant, radical, or rebellious; “social network” reflects the Social reality, the rapid changes of the times and the dark human nature of the shopping mall, the sharp ridicule of those geniuses between the lines hides a trace of David Fincher-style banter and ridicule.

From the very beginning, the attributes of the Oscars were doomed, and the Academy would only choose “The King’s Speech”, not “The Social Network”; just like the 84th Academy Awards, the Academy chose “Artist” instead of “Hugo” “Or “Midnight in Paris”, the Academy is still too narcissistic after all, and still loves itself the most.

“Do you think mark-zukerberg is a jerk?” Rooney asked curiously, tilting her head.

This seems to be an affirmative answer, and almost everyone has this feeling after watching the movie, especially the “social network” promotional slogan said: How many friends do you need to sacrifice to be successful?

However, Renly’s answer was not that simple, “No, I don’t think so.” Rooney didn’t show a surprised expression, and didn’t rush to ask questions, but quietly looked at Renly, waiting for the next article, ” I think he’s an outsider, an outsider that’s not accepted by society. You know, a lot of times, geniuses are outsiders, and of course, bastards.”

Renly’s answer was really intriguing, and Rooney recalled just now. Watching the movie, this is the first time she has seen a complete film. She didn’t have many roles, but she watched it very carefully, and her feelings for the movie were more delicate.

… “God, this editing is so fast and so informative, I don’t think my head can react right now. Gotta agree, who the hell is that curly-haired actor, his performance is really good, really Is this what Mark Zuckerberg looks like?” The

two discussed excitedly, hurried past Renly and Rooney, and a small group of five or six people gathered not far away, blushing , arguing in full swing, scrambling to express their opinions.

“‘The Social Network’ is unique, from the director to the actors to the characters, and it’s not comparable to any other film. Come on, ‘127 Hours’ is also unique, as you put it, and ‘Buried Alive’ ‘, but they’re not as good as ‘The King’s Speech’…how do you like something so crafty and so mature? Jesus Christ, it’s a typical British movie, nothing new… bb’s TV movie You can reach such a level, you actually think he is good enough? What? What did you say? bb TV movie?”

The bustling opinions come and go, tit-for-tat, almost too late to react, and the rebuttals are crossed. One second, the two were still arguing with red faces, and the next second, the two of them joined forces to fight against the other four. The scene was even worse than a debate. To be more intense, it makes people wonder if they will roll up their sleeves and fight directly in the next second.

Rooney withdrew her gaze, and then found that Renly, like her, was paying attention to the liveliness there, the two of them crossed their eyes for a while, and couldn’t help smiling, “So, do you prefer ‘social network’ or ‘the king’s speech’? “Rooney also asked curiously.

Renly frowned slightly and asked nervously, “This shouldn’t be a trap question, right?” This made Rooney couldn’t help but chuckle, and then saw that Renly laughed too and gave the answer , “‘Social Network’.”

Rooney was a little surprised and emphasized, “We’re not dating.” The subtext is that there is no need to say an answer against her intentions to please her.

This made Renly smile again, “I know. I like ‘The Social Network’ because it’s a challenge that I can’t do, but also a challenge that’s out of my comfort zone.”

According to Renly’s Academy Education Look, he actually prefers “The King’s Speech”, because the heaviness revealed by the film and the restrained strength infiltrated in the performance are indeed commendable; but from a movie point of view, “Social Network” is more daring , more innovative, and more worthy of recognition.

“A challenge you can’t do?” Rooney’s eyes showed a hint of surprise, recalling the “Buried Alive” she watched this afternoon. The delicate but explosive performance is still vivid in her mind.

Rooney has a direct confrontation with jesse-eisenberg in “The Social Network”, she can feel the power of Jesse’s performance, but personally, she still thinks that Renly’s performance Even better, especially the power and depth of the eyes, which is impressive.

Renly shrugged, “First of all, I’m not a Jew.” Rooney was stunned by this joke, then she realized it and rolled her eyes helplessly, “Secondly, I don’t speak that fast.” It is also the biggest advantage of Jesse playing Mark. The bullet-like speed of speech gives the character a kind of arrogance, alienation, and arrogance, which can easily let the audience into the play, “Again, I am more handsome than Mark, much more. .”

Looking at the serious Renly in front of her, Rooney was really dumbfounded. On the surface, Renly was joking, but after thinking about it carefully, what he said was the truth. The biggest or most basic aspect of a biographical film is the similarity and resemblance. Jesse has an inherent advantage in playing Mark, and Renly is indeed easy to make people play, and it is not easy to rely on acting alone to turn the tide. Certainly.

However, the fact was teased by Renly in this way. After Rooney chewed it twice, she couldn’t hold back, and the smile on the corner of her mouth leaked out.

“Erica, Erica!” A call came from the side of the road, causing Rooney to turn her head to look over and Erica was Rooney’s name in the “Social Network”, “Mark doesn’t like you, no Relationship, I like you! That’s a bastard, you deserve better.”

Rooney raised her head, still with the smile she couldn’t help just now, nodded in the direction of speaking, and then waved, ” Thank you. I also think he’s a jerk.” This response made the group of young people across the street burst into laughter.

“I’m a little hungry now, and I’m going to find something to eat, how about you?” Renly looked at the shops on both sides of the street, wondering if it was because of the film festival, the whole town was brightly lit, and many shops were still open. Today’s lunch and dinner were casual, and now after watching the movie, the hungry stomach is making a protest sound. “Also, actresses need to control their bodies and can’t eat randomly, especially at this time.”

After going through Chris Hemsworth, Renly also got a glimpse into the life of an actor. In Hollywood, there are quite a few actors who do whatever they want, but if they really want to stay at the peak, the effort that actors put in behind the scenes is far beyond imagination. Not to mention the other, just to look good on the mirror and maintain the figure, the sweat is not so easy.

Rooney didn’t falter, and nodded, “Yes, at this point in time, I can’t eat indiscriminately.”

Ren Li was stunned for this candid answer, showing a curious expression. Generally speaking, actresses are also women. Their art of speaking is different from that of men. Even if they are hungry, they should say they are full. Even if they are controlling their diet, they should say that they do not need to lose weight. Even if they want to eat, they should say that they are right. Kinds of food do not catch a cold.

Facing Renly’s scrutiny, Rooney raised her chin calmly and looked back, her expression hardly changed, that upright appearance made Renly a little embarrassed, he immediately reacted, nodded and said , “We’re not dating.” So, no need for disguise, no need to cover up.

Renly’s answer made Rooney’s mouth twitch slightly, “However, I can have a little salad and a small half of bread.” She didn’t eat much for dinner today, and now she needs some energy. Bananas and dark chocolate used to be the best choice, but now in a small town like Telluride, don’t force it. “No problem.” Renly held the cigarette to his mouth again, made a “James Dean” ruffian look, beckoned, “Follow me.” Rooney chuckled softly, her shoulders shrugged slightly.

Fifteen minutes later, Renly and Rooney were back on the street again with…subay sandwiches, except that Renly was holding a bacon and cheese sandwich and Rooney was holding a sandwich. It was half a white bread and a small box of salad.
