The Greatest Showman - Chapter 201

[200 Movie]

Under the hazy night, the veins of the mountains fluctuated between inky black and dark blue, and the bright yellow street lights bloomed, like a paintbrush, faintly smearing the rich night away, outlining a scene. Cool and warm harbor. ?The tranquility and noise of the early morning spread like smoke in the warm tones, and the colors of the world are like overturned paint plates, instantly becoming gorgeous.

“No, no, it’s not fair.” The bright voice was covered with a layer of coldness, echoing on the street that had just rained, and the wet dark gray asphalt road was filled with the coolness and coldness of early autumn. In his sleep, his voice was also stained with a little yellow, red and green, like maple leaves all over the mountains and plains. “This is a historical problem, you can’t just throw it over like this, it’s not fair.”

“Haha.” The uncontrollable laughter was like an oil lamp in a late autumn night, weak but bright, cold but warm, with a deep throat The hoarseness of the office became rough due to the permeation of the night, “Then I will change the way of asking questions, ‘The Shawshank Redemption’ and ‘Forrest Gump’, which work do you prefer? This is the head office, everyone You have your own preferences, everyone has their own habits, and you express your opinion from the perspective of an audience.”

Rooney didn’t answer immediately, but carefully looked at the look between Renly’s eyebrows, but he didn’t show the slightest Unmoved, she looked back calmly and calmly, Rooney couldn’t help grinding her teeth secretly, and fiercely tore off a piece of white bread, threw it into her mouth, and chewed it unevenly, as if the piece of white bread had a blood feud with her. .

“How would you answer the same question?” Rooney was still reluctant to surrender easily, so she asked back.

Faced with such a thorny historical problem, Renly did not show any signs of panic, took a bite of the sandwich in his hand, swallowed the food slowly, and let the silence spread between the two of them. The atmosphere seemed a little embarrassing, but The smug smile on Rooney’s mouth rose slightly, and at this moment, Renly spoke.

“It’s simple. I prefer ‘In the Name of the Father’ to ‘The Shawshank Redemption’; I prefer ‘Children in Troubled Times’ to ‘Forrest Gump’.”

Rooney was stunned by Renly’s answer. She obviously did not expect such an answer. She chewed it carefully, but found that she had no way to refute it, and even vaguely felt that what she said was very reasonable. But soon, Rooney reacted and looked at Renly with round eyes, “No, you are making a quibble. According to what you said, you are neither of The Shawshank Redemption nor Forrest Gump. Do you like it?” She was almost surrounded by Renly, ignoring the original point of the question!

Unexpectedly, Renly nodded and affirmed, “Yes, I don’t like it either.” This caught Rooney by surprise, and for a while he didn’t know how to respond, “Comparatively speaking, I still prefer it. ‘Vulgar’. It’s like I prefer ‘The Social Network’ to ‘The King’s Speech’.”

They’re discussing one of the biggest koans in film history, Best Picture at the 67th Academy Awards in 1995,” The Shawshank Redemption”, “Forrest Gump” and “Puppy”, who really deserves the title of best picture.

“What about you?” Renly continued to throw the question out without giving Rooney a chance to breathe.

Rooney noticed Ren Li’s intention, her pupils squinted slightly, and she cast her gaze a little annoyed and a little remorseful, but Ren Li was obviously unaffected. She gritted her teeth, but she had no intention of lowering her head and admitting defeat, “‘Forrest Gump’, I prefer ‘Forrest Gump’.” Rooney also gave her own answer simply, “because the movie revealed Wisdom, more memorable.”

Renly nodded with a meaningful expression, which made Rooney feel chest tightness for a while, “What do you mean by that expression?”

“No, I just didn’t expect your taste like this. Mainstream.” Renly shrugged and said lightly, which made Rooney bit her lower lip, her clear eyes widened, and stared straight at Renly, that cannibalistic appearance made Renly laugh dumbly. Originally about to put the sandwich in his mouth, he raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and sincerely admitted his mistake, “I said the wrong thing, people who like ‘The Shawshank Redemption’ are the real mainstream, otherwise the movie will not be the same. Can’t get first place on imdb, can’t you?”

Even if it was an apology, the sincere words and serious expressions still revealed a dark humor of a British gentleman. Rooney couldn’t hold back after all, she burst out laughing and nodded, “That’s true. However, You are also quite mainstream, you actually like Stanley Kubrick (stan1ey-ketbsp; “Children of Troubled Times” is a work directed by Stanley, this film master is known as a wizard, and his works cover a wide range of genres, and often swords He is regarded as a master among the masters by countless fanatical fans. However, because Stanley is so famous, those fake fans and fake literary youth also like to use Stanley as a shield, as if they only need to say “orange” , “2oo1: A Space Odyssey” is the name of several works, and it is a weapon for senior movie fans to strike up a conversation.

Facing Rooney’s attack, Renly nodded calmly, “I can’t refute.” Rooney’s taunting came to nothing, Rooney choked, and then she burst into laughter.

The two walked along the straight street like a chessboard in the town, two pale old men sitting on the ground beside the street with their hands in their hands. They each held a bottle of beer, and the marijuana/marijuana lit in their hands gave off a pungent smell of smoke.

Renly took the initiative to say hello, “It’s such a beautiful night tonight, and it’s just been an autumn rain, don’t you plan to take good care of the blankets? Do you want to ?”

“We’re waiting for the ‘Don’t Let Me Go’ at 3:30. Aren’t you going to join in?” one of the old men answered loudly, a strong voice echoing through the street.

“Kazuo Ishiguro It’s not my type.” Renly shrugged and answered politely but firmly, causing the two old men to chuckle, “Young man, let’s go on a date, don’t waste such a good night, the movie just Leave it to us old-boned bachelors.”

Hearing this, Renly and Rooney exchanged glances, then both laughed.

Going down the street to the end, you can see a vast meadow, along the Climbing all the way up the gentle slope, at the end is the continuous mountain range, guarding the entire valley like a behemoth in the dark night.

At this time, a bonfire was lit on the grass. The bright red flames vigorously licked the blackness of the night, and an orange halo appeared around. There were thirty or forty young people sitting around them, talking and arguing endlessly. , the noisy sound is far from the tranquility of the town, and gradually becomes lively. The wanton and publicity of youth is burning in this safe haven of paradise, releasing endless energy, showing the soul of the Telluride Film Festival. Incisively and vividly.

“Renly! Hey, Renly!” In the distance, someone recognized Renly by the faint halo, stood up and called out, and now, everyone turned their heads in unison, shouting one after another , “Renly, Renly!” Everyone was calling urgently, and some even trotted over, “Renly, oh, hey, Rooney! Are you here? Come, come, come quickly. Exactly, we We are discussing the movie that will be released today, and if you have any doubts, come and answer them, and let’s share your thoughts together.”

Renly and Rooney could not refuse, a group of people crowded them to the bonfire, “Can someone tell me what’s going on? Why am I so hot all of a sudden?” Renly’s teasing words made everyone laugh, and some even whistled, and the atmosphere immediately boiled.

“Because you performed a really he/mom/wonderful work?” One comment drew echoes from the others, “Rooney, ‘social networking’ is absolutely awesome, but we’ll discuss this later, Now we have to teach Renly a good lesson.”

Rooney made an inviting gesture, her eyes flashing eager to try, “Who will give me a seat?” Then the young people immediately loosened up actively and let Rooney go. Sitting down, Renly was the only one left standing, like a natural target, and the collective began to bomb.

“Is it a radical terrorist who kidnapped Paul? Or is it a common man?” ”

What happened between Paul and his wife?”

“Why did Dan say Mark White’s name? Is it a perfunctory Paul? Or is he really I don’t know that Mark is dead? Or is there a conspiracy?”

“Is the rt company’s recording legal? Paul is trapped in a coffin and his life is in danger. Is there no legal clause to stop their actions?”

“Why is Paul’s team being targeted? Simple intelligence error, or is there any inside story? ”

Why is Paul’s phone calls so confusing, one to the FBI, another to the State Department, constantly switching, which also leads to the repetition and confusion of intelligence, is there any deep meaning behind this?”

“The scene of cutting off the finger ? How did you shoot it? I think your performance is so good, you’re literally blowing up James Franco’s performance in ‘127 Hours’!”

…

question after question, leaving little room for Renly to breathe, slammed into his face Come and show their enthusiasm and urgency for real. It reminded Renly of Toronto.

When in Toronto, people can’t wait to take pictures, sign autographs, scream, and shout. It seems to be worshipping idols, but it is more like joining in the noise. “Buried alive” has become the focus of the topic. They are just rushing to the topic. It was just a moth, which made Renly feel like a clown.

But in Telluride, the topic of people is always movies, and they can’t do without movies. They don’t even regard Renly as an actor, but as a classmate or friend who communicates in class, and can’t wait to share their thoughts. And opinions, eager to discuss, share opinions, exchange ideas.

Looking at the pair of eyes full of anticipation before him, Renly finally had a real sense: even in Telluride, even on the opening day when “The King’s Speech” and “Social Networks” dominated the topic list, “Buried Alive” Still won a spot. 8
