The Greatest Showman - Chapter 202

[201 Before Sunrise]

Rooney looked at Renly in front of her seriously. Although the two watched two movies together today and got along for most of the day, she had never really looked at each other until now.

Under the firelight of the bonfire, a layer of warm red is reflected on his cheeks, Na Ying Ting’s eyebrows are outlined like an oriental ink painting, and the deep and vast eyes are as unfathomable as the stars, but there are thousands of stars twinkling, the gentleman is elegant. There is a rare perseverance and vigor under his face, but the thick eyelashes block those bright eyes, making it difficult to detect.

Seemingly aware of the scrutiny in his eyes, Renly turned his head with a look of doubt, his dark brown eyes reflecting a faint fire, like a deep ocean shimmering with the light of Atlantis, “God, you are truly a Crazy.” Rooney didn’t shyly avoid her eyes, but just raised the corners of her mouth and replied.

They sat around the campfire all night and talked, starting with “Buried Alive,” then “The Social Network,” “127 Hours,” and “The King’s Speech,” then other great movies, and even mentioning their previous The words of debate, “The Shawshank Redemption”, “Forrest Gump” and “Pulp”, which movie is the real movie history classic.

The argument didn’t calm down as the night got darker, on the contrary it became hotter. If it wasn’t for their in-depth conversation, Rooney would never have imagined how much effort Renly had put in to star in the movie “Buried Alive”.

In the afternoon, I heard that Ren Li stayed in the coffin for eight hours, but after all, it was just a vague concept, and it was impossible to understand the specific situation, until the candle night talk just now. People only saw the brilliance of “Buried Alive”, only to see Renly winning the Emmy when he was only twenty years old, only to see the debut film and it was a blockbuster, but they did not see the hard work Renly put in behind the film. effort.

Even geniuses do not sit on their hands of success.

“Haha.” Ren Li didn’t respond to this sentence, didn’t joke, didn’t laugh at himself, just slightly raised the corner of his mouth, looked into the distance, and fell silent.

Only Renly knew that he wasn’t a genius, or at least he didn’t think he was.

All his confidence, all persistence, all expectations, and all fantasies have been crushed in the process of growing up. George and Elizabeth have never affirmed his efforts, and spared no effort to crush everything he does about acting. enthusiasm. If it weren’t for the fact that he was a human being in two lifetimes, if it wasn’t for the ten years of bedridden polishing in the previous life, if it wasn’t for the firmness and paranoia brought about by the joy of rebirth, I’m afraid he would have given up long ago.

Even after winning the Emmy, even if it was “buried alive” and affirmed, deep down, Renly still felt that he needed to work harder. Just like a duck paddling water, behind the calm and calm on the surface, it is the legs kicking hard, and you can’t slack off for a second.

Rooney originally thought that Renly would fight back with a joke, but he didn’t, and she couldn’t help but look at Renly’s profile carefully. I don’t know if it was because of the thick and cold night, or because of the dimness and weakness of the bonfire, but she caught a touch of fragility in the arc of this profile face.

Rooney lowered her cheeks and turned her head, without speaking any further, then raised her head again, following Renly’s line of sight, to the far-off forest and sky that were all silent.

Clap, clap. The sound of the crackling bonfire was churning in the air, and the young people sitting beside 66 continued to leave some, and some came again, but now they were all exhausted, and some people simply covered their coats and entered their dreams. Others are still enthusiastic about talking.

“It’s dawn.” Renly’s voice broke the quiet peace, playing softly like a cello.

I saw where the horizon met, a scorching red burst out with weak but dazzling energy, tearing the overwhelming night, the dark black suddenly turned into a luminous navy blue, and the entire sky was torn like silk. Broken, the sharp and dazzling halo was like a sharp blade, mercilessly overturned the river and the sea, and the distant sky above the head began to change with amazing colors, making the language lose its color, just opened his mouth slightly, quietly. Appreciate this miracle from nature.

“It’s a new day.” Renly stretched and smiled brightly. Although I haven’t slept all night, I’m not too tired. Instead, I’m refreshed and refreshed, especially bathing in the lazy morning sun, which is even more intoxicating.

Rooney couldn’t help but nodded, “Yeah.” The tightness at the corner of her mouth could not help but relax, and the faint smile was always hanging there, light and comfortable. “Time flies so fast, now, the sun has come out, isn’t it time to say goodbye?”

Renly turned his head, a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes, which made Rooney’s cheeks a little hot, but fortunately at this time, she was flushed red The sun shone down and fell on her face, concealing her shyness and embarrassment.

“Before Sunrise”, this classic love movie has won the love of countless loyal fans since its release in 1995. The film is about two strangers who fall in love at first sight on a train to Vienna, so the two spend a wonderful night in Vienna talking, talking, talking, and saying goodbye to each other after the sun rises. This talkative movie truly presents the process of love from budding to throbbing and then to intersection.

Nine years later, in 2oo4, the second film in the series “Before Sunset” was released again, and two strangers who loved each other but missed for nine years met again.

Rooney’s words just now were obviously alluding to the movie, and Renly’s eyes were suggesting: Was last night a date?

“I can tell you in advance that I didn’t buy a ticket to leave Telluride.” Renly’s suggestive answer made Rooney’s cheeks even hotter, but she finally got rid of the panic and raised her head, revealing a pretty face. With a pale face and a fair neck, he took the initiative to invite, “I’m going to spend some time in the cinema today, how about you?”

“It’s a coincidence, so am I.” Renly replied with a smile.

In the blink of an eye, the sun fell on the whole land, and the sleeping young people 66 continued to wake up. A young man ran over and patted Renly on the shoulder, “The chat last night was very pleasant. Now , I have to go to the queue, I’m going to watch ‘Buried Alive’ again, although it’s a torture, but… After last night’s discussion, I won’t watch it again, I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep tonight.” As he said that, he let out a strange cry and ran towards the town.

“Wait for me, wait for me.” Several other young people also followed, and the rest of the people who had not woken up were also awakened, and the peaceful camp suddenly became lively.

Renly looked at Rooney, and Rooney pointed to the backs who were leaving, “I plan to join them.” Watching “Buried Alive” for the second time.

“How can I say ‘no’?” Renly’s rhetorical question caused both of them to smile.

Rooney stood up quickly, followed the footsteps of the crowd all the way, sprinting forward, but after running for a while, she saw that Renly also took a brisk pace and followed. Rooney immediately refused to admit defeat, added it again, and walked away, “Hey, this is not a marathon!” Renly’s voice came from behind, making Rooney laugh brilliantly.

In the distance, the long queue at the entrance of the small town movie theater came into view again. It was only early in the morning, and the enthusiastic movie fans started a new journey with a lively attitude.

Different from other film festivals, although Telluride also gathers a lot of people who will write reports, write film reviews, and then publish, but the official film festival does not have an on-site journal, but leaves all the freedom of discussion to the audience themselves. This also means that, unlike Toronto, Telluride cannot find an official way to judge the quality of a movie. Of course, the works that can be listed in Telluride are all screened, and their quality is already guaranteed. The average level has even surpassed the three major European film festivals, which is second to none.

If people want to know the quality of a movie, the most effective way is to go to the cinema and line up. Which movie has the best-selling tickets, this is undoubtedly the most recognized work by the audience; the most direct way is to go to the crowd. You can talk about any work at will, and the audience here will never be stingy with their opinions and opinions, presenting the most original, pure and true feedback.

The Telluride Film Festival has entered its second day. The popular “Social Network” and “The King’s Speech” have successfully stood out and received numerous accolades in the limelight. In particular, the former chose to hold a global screening here. It has attracted much attention, and the discussion heat seems to have the momentum of the latter. When the awards season is about to be unveiled, it will push the atmosphere to a new climax/climax.

In addition, “Buried Alive” is quietly seizing the commanding heights of a new round of topics, which can be said to be an unexpected result. From Toronto to Telluride, this low-budget thriller is starting a full-scale high-energy mode and moving forward.

“I don’t like the political metaphor in it, I said it, I don’t like it!”

“But that’s what makes the movie special…”

“I said it, I don’t like it!”

“You’re unreasonable! Look, Blue Here’s Lily, Renly, Renly, come and judge! He said the political metaphors in the movie ruin the whole story, but I think…”

“It’s a fact, it’s a fact, even if Renly is here. , it won’t change the fact!”

The screening of the movie had just ended, and before Renly and Rooney could even walk out of the screening room, they were stopped by two people next to them, and they had a heated argument.

Rooney was discussing the performance of a scene with Renly when she was interrupted abruptly, but Renly was not impatient. Instead, she felt the real enthusiasm and madness, and raised her hand to try to calm the two of them down. , but the two of them were still arguing, which really made people laugh or cry, “I think it’s better for me to leave some space for you.” Ren Li frowned slightly and said solemnly. 8
