"I didn't like that movie. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

A shouting voice came from the side of the street, interrupting the lively conversation of Lan Li and the others, everyone turned their heads to look over, and then saw the face of a man in his early thirties, wearing a simple hat and pants, with a faint smile on his face, constantly shaking his head.

Feeling the gaze of the crowd, he continued to shake his head and shouted again, "I don't like it! Jesus Christ, I really can't like that movie." ”

In the face of such a direct accusation, Lan Li spread out his hands and replied in a loud voice, "At least you walked into the cinema." ”

"But there is absolutely no second time. The man didn't hesitate, he pushed back directly, and after saying that, he himself felt very funny, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, he waved his hand in disgust, and then walked away quickly without looking back.

Unexpectedly, another voice came from this side of the street, "Man, I don't like that movie either." According to the voice, it was a black couple, talking to the black man with dirty pigtails, and his girlfriend in his arms was laughing non-stop, constantly slapping her boyfriend's chest, but still couldn't stop him, "Who made the movie actor not be a black man, and he is so handsome? I hate this movie, God, I swear!"

A simple conversation drew chuckles from passers-by on both sides of the street, and even the spectators sitting outside the café echoed it.

This is Telluride, the one-of-a-kind Telluride.

Everyone can express their opinion on a movie, watching movies is the same as art, it is a very personal thing, some movies are praised, but I just don't like it, and some movies are scolded to the end, but I just watch it very happily, so any audience has their own unique viewing experience.

The most special thing about Telluride is not that it provides a platform to express his opinions publicly, nor does it provide an occasion for the crew and the audience to communicate on an equal footing, but that everyone is very peaceful. To like is to like, to hate is to hate, even criticism does not need to hurt each other's feelings, art, innate to have a mind that embraces all praise and criticism.

Looking back, Lan Li saw the young man standing in front of him who looked like a college student, with an innocent expression on his face, "To be honest, I won't go into the cinema to watch it a second time." It's torture!"

This comment made Lan Li laugh heartily, "This is the highest compliment I have ever heard. ”

After the discussion, the young people scattered again, unlike the siege and frenzy of the Toronto Film Festival, in Telluride, you can see the actors in the streets and alleys, there is no need to be crazy at all, here, everything is about the film, and only about the movie.

After saying goodbye to everyone, only Lan Li and Rooney remained in place, and Lan Li showed an apologetic smile at Rooney, "This is also the first time for me, before today, I was the one who was ignored." ”

No one recognized Rooney just now - compared to Lan Li, Rooney has been rolling in Hollywood for more than three years and nearly four years, starring in two movies "Tanner Hall" and "New Ghost Street", and guest starring in the popular American drama "Emergency Room Story", but it has never opened up the situation in terms of popularity, even this time "social networks", the main role weight is also on the two actors.

It's embarrassing and frustrating to be surrounded by crowds at an approachable film festival like Telluride and not be recognized. Therefore, Lan Li apologized.

However, Lan Li's tone carried a hint of self-deprecation and a hint of ridicule, which easily made Rooney also show a shallow smile, "I guess, after the premiere of 'Social Network', our position will be changed." There was a hint of playfulness in his confidence, and at the same time, he quietly fought back, which made Lan Li laugh dumbly, "However, after everyone discussed it just now, I am now looking forward to the movie more and more." When expectations are too high, that's not a good sign. ”

Lan Li spread her hands calmly, "I accept any form of criticism. ”

Rooney's eyes lit up slightly, and her seemingly unchanged expression flashed with a hint of cunning, "It's a small town, but there are tens of thousands of spectators, after this afternoon, maybe I won't meet you again." ”

The Telluride Film Festival attracts more than 100,000 spectators every year and brings the town to life. Although it cannot be compared with the 300,000 or 400,000 spectators of the three major European film festivals, those who are willing to make a special trip to Telluride are all loyal and pious film fanatics, and the meaning is naturally different.

Lan Li's eyebrows raised slightly, and a playful glint flashed in his eyes, "So, are you sending me an invitation for a date?"

Rooney shook her lower lip slightly, the helpless smile on the corner of her mouth with a hint of sarcasm and playfulness, fleeting, "Of course not, Charming Prince." The teasing tone couldn't be more obvious, "I'm just inviting you to watch 'Buried Alive' with me." If you don't have faith in the movie, forget it. ”

As she spoke, Rooney's black and white eyes raised slightly, and she looked at Lan Li carefully, with a hint of provocative stimulation, clearly using the radical method, but she was not afraid of Lan Li's understanding.

Lan Li didn't answer in a hurry, slowly took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out, and held it to the corner of his mouth. But his gaze never left Rooney, and he could sense the rejection flashing in Rooney's eyes - here, because of the legalization of big/hemp and the carnival atmosphere of the film festival, almost everyone will have one or two packs of big/hemp in their bag, but there are still people who don't like it.

Lan Li bit the cigarette holder lightly, then raised his right hand, clamped the cigarette to his fingertip, and took it down again, without intending to explain, but asked rhetorically, "If I watched 'Buried Alive' with you, does that mean that you will watch 'Social Network' with me?"

Rooney didn't expect such a situation, his gaze shifted from the cigarette to Lan Li's face, the look of surprise was not hidden, Lan Li shrugged, "That's fair, isn't it?"

Rooney glanced at the cigarette, "So, is this a date?"

The smile on the corner of Lan Li's mouth was like a spring breeze through the tops of the sycamore treetops, and it gently rippled, "Of course not, Snow White." ”

Rooney bit her lower lip, but her smile couldn't help but go up, she had to lower her head, sort out her expression, and nodded, "Okay, no problem." But, I don't eat popcorn. ”

Lan Li raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender, "I'm losing weight. ”

This sentence really made Rooney laugh, and the light laughter was enough to melt the snow and ice, and the afternoon sun became brighter.

"So, which theater do we need to go to now?" Lan Li looked left and right, and extended a gentlemanly invitation to Rooney.

At the Telluride Film Festival, it is the biggest goal of the organizing committee to ensure that every audience member can see their favorite films. All screens in 11 cinemas are shown 24 hours a day, and each film wins at least 30 screenings, ensuring that there is enough space for audiences not to miss their favourite productions.

Therefore, even if there is a need to queue up, even if the number of moviegoers is endless, almost every audience member will be able to achieve their wish in the end. If you miss this one, there is always the next one arranged, the next theater.

As the oldest cinema in town, the Sheridan Theatre is undoubtedly the biggest hit, with the world premiere of "Social Network" arranged in the morning, "127 hours" to meet the audience at noon, and "The King's Speech" in the afternoon.

Telluride is one of the most special film festivals, and it is the only one that can directly select works from the competition section of the major film festivals. In other words, as long as Telluride takes a fancy to a film, whether it is in Berlin or Venice, this work will inevitably give Telluride face and arrange a special schedule to be screened here.

Thanks to Telluride's way of operating without awarding any awards or even publishing an official house catalogue, leaving all the options and critiques in the hands of the audience, it has become the world's largest gathering place for movie enthusiasts, much like Woodstock. Therefore, whether it is a major film festival, or a film production company, or a distribution company, they are very happy to see it happen, and strongly hope that their films can be released here.

Being on the list of films at the Telluride Film Festival every year is an affirmation in itself and a cause for celebration.

Therefore, the avid audience constantly followed the tail of the line, and the Sheridan Theater was surrounded by water, and the 24-hour carnival never stopped, and there was no need to choose, and which movie had a place to buy tickets directly, because every screening was a wonderful work, and it was a masterpiece worth watching.

But even so, Lan Li and Rooney waited for two shows to watch the "buried alive", and there were countless audiences in the cinema who bought tickets for "buried alive", and they only bought tickets for 6 o'clock that night at two o'clock, and it was also in a theater at the very edge of the town. This detail can be seen that after the fermentation of the Toronto Film Festival, the degree of "buried alive" shows a gratifying upward curve.

It is rumored that "Buried Alive" has now become a popular work on the first day of the Telluride Film Festival, alongside "127 Hours".

As for the "social networks", it is even more incredible, as Lan Li expected, they only bought tickets for midnight in the end, walked into the cinema at half past twelve in the middle of the night, and sat in the audience to enjoy the work. By the end of the movie, it's early in the morning, but even so, the whole town is still brightly lit and sleepless all night, and those movie lovers are enjoying their own feast and partying until dawn.
