The asphalt road winds its way forward, the steep cliffs on both sides of the sky shrink into a narrow boardwalk, the lush pine and maple trees spread along the lines of the mountains, reckless and serene, and the hustle and bustle of the big city behind it seems to be blocked by this natural barrier, and the spectacular landscapes and craggy cliffs that are unique to Colorado can be seen in full view, and it only takes a few strokes to outline the tranquility and noise of autumn and September, as well as the solitude and fortitude.

There is only one passage in the whole world to enter here, and with the advance of the wheels, the road behind him is getting farther and farther, and the dead end surrounded by mountains on three sides in front of you seems to be the end of the world, so that all the rush, all the wandering, all the vicissitudes of life can't help but slow down and linger.

Walking out of the hotel, the cold and cold in the air echoed in the valley, the cable car above the head swayed and moved, you could hear the creaking sound constantly colliding with the cliffs, the kind of recklessness towards the end of the world, so that you can feel the emptiness and vastness of the world under your feet, as if in this small town that is only twelve blocks long and eight blocks wide, there is a secret story buried in the mountains that can never be walked out.

Just at first sight, Lan Li fell in love with this town, this town called Telluride, reminded him of Tao Yuanming's peach blossom spring, there is no need to deliberately look for it, everywhere in sight is beautiful, everywhere you go is a good place, explore this town with your feet, from the town court to the foot of the mountains, the gentle slopes are a wonderful ski resort when winter comes, from the wide meadows to the cable car station, the town of 2,500 people has a secluded comfort and tranquility.

Finally, I found the last empty table on the side of the street and sat down, relaxed my feet, let my mind settle down slowly, and looked at the yellow and red maple leaves in the distance, and couldn't help but indulge in it.

"Sir, are you ready to order?" the waiter asked casually, picking up the coffee cups and cake plates at the next table.

Lan Li raised his head and saw the gray-haired waiter in front of him, he looked like he was fifty or sixty years old, his neat short hair was neatly groomed, the mustache on his mouth was neatly trimmed, and his off-white shirt was casually unbuttoned.

"Todd?" Lu Li glanced at the nameplate on the waiter's chest, "Do I need a cup of black coffee, or is a bottle of beer the best way to fit into this town?"

"Coffee will suit you even more. Todd smiled at the corners of his lips and said with ease, "You look like a European, more accurately, an Englishman." Or do you need black tea?" Todd glanced at the beer-drinking, noisy guests behind him, and the meaning of the joke couldn't be more obvious.

"That's coffee. Lan Li put her right foot on the knee of her left foot, and the smile couldn't help but relax the corners of her mouth, "I need something more powerful than black tea." The guests at the table behind him just burst out laughing, and Lan Li and Todd exchanged glances, and both of them laughed.

"Oh. A sighing and panicked voice came from behind him, followed by another voice with a hint of nervousness and apology, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were going to sit down, otherwise, this position will be given to you." ”

"No, no, I don't care. The first voice refused again and again, and said kindly, and a polite smile could be heard in the words.

Todd immediately stepped forward, "Ma'am, the seats outside are full, and there are still seats inside if needed." ”

"No...... No need. The voice that replied was a little hesitant, "I just want to rest outside for a while......" She looked left and right, a little hesitant in her movements, and Todd shrewdly pointed to the empty seat in front of Lan Li, "Sir, do you mind sharing a table?"

Lan Li raised his right hand and gestured to the vacant seat in front of him, "Of course I don't mind, please take a seat." I'm just resting here, and I have no intention of waiting for dinner here. It was only one o'clock in the afternoon, and the lunchtime had not yet passed, and he was obviously joking when he mentioned "dinner", which made everyone laugh.

"Thank you. The man was not pretentious, pulled out a chair, sat down opposite Lan Li, then raised his head to look at Todd, and conveyed his request, "Black tea, thank you." ”

Todd and Lan Li exchanged glances, and couldn't help but smile.

This action was full of question marks in the eyes of that person, but she didn't understand what was going on, and it was too rude to ask directly, so she could only suppress her curiosity, "...... It's a lively town, isn't it?"

The face in front of him has a hint of heroism, the straight sword eyebrows do not have the softness of women at all, but fly neatly and sharply, a simple dark blue sea soul T-shirt, and a pair of deep and agile deer eyes, flashing with generous wisdom and stability, like a ray of sunshine through the rain and fog in the cold winter of Seattle, clear and warm.

It's not an unfamiliar face – it's no surprise to meet a familiar face at the Telluride Film Festival, the small space is filled with hundreds of filmmakers, and almost every unfamiliar face that pops up on the street is here for the festival.

Quentin-Tarantino's loud movements at the table behind him were striking among the four people drinking beer, Kate-Winslet and Seth-Rogen sat diagonally in front of them, raising their hands to greet Aaron-Sorkin as they just passed, and not far down the street, Robert Downey-Jr. and his wife walked out of a drugstore with a green cross in front of themHe took out a cigarette from the cigarette case in his hand and began to smoke on the street - Colorado was the first state in the United States to legalize large/hemp/hemp, and pharmacies could sell large/hemp directly.

The same is true of Rooney-Mara, who is sitting in front of Lan Li at this time.

She was originally known for her sister Kate-Mara (Kate-Mara), but this year starred in the much-anticipated "social network", ushered in the first opportunity of her career as an actress, the film chose the Telluride Film Festival for its world premiere, and the media has not yet had the opportunity to see the whole film, so naturally there is no way to comment, but the David-Fincher (David-Fincher) direction and the real Facebook boom are enough to make the film attract enough attention.

"Yes, I'm going to watch 'The Social Network' in the afternoon, but the entrance to the Sheridan Theatre is so blocked that I'll have to wait for the midnight show, I guess. Lan Li's chuckling words made Rooney laugh innocently, and it seemed that she was still not comfortable with someone mentioning the movie she starred in.

Rooney pursed her lips, looking a little helpless, "I haven't seen the finished movie yet, it seems that the midnight show is my only choice at the moment." ”

The Telluride Film Festival is unique because it belongs exclusively to movie fans. There is no red carpet, no special premiere, no media field, and anyone who wants to watch a movie must queue up to buy tickets like ordinary movie fans.

The relaxed, free-spirited, and open-minded atmosphere makes Telluride look less like a film festival and more like a carnival party. This is a very different look from the Toronto Film Festival three days ago. It's a film festival, but it's not like a film festival.

There are eleven movie theaters in this palm-sized place, and it's incredibly home to the highest concentration of movie premieres in the United States, after New York and Los Angeles.

"You better be quick, or you'll be the only outsider when the audience is engaged in the discussion. Lan Li's ridicule once again made a shallow smile appear in Rooney's eyes.

As they spoke, a group of young people roared past and stopped in front of a house across the street, and then the crowd began to take pictures, which made everyone look away.

At first, Rooney thought it was a top star - Tom Cruise bought a mansion here, and he would not only attend film festivals here every year, but also come here for skiing in the winter, and the townspeople were all too familiar with Tom. But then I took a closer look, but found that the group of young people was just taking pictures by themselves, and there were no big stars worth paying attention to involved.

"Is there anything special about that house?" Rooney couldn't help but ask curiously, but when she looked back, she realized that it wasn't a friend sitting in front of her, just a stranger, and she smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry." ”

Lan Li tugged at the corners of her mouth unmindfully, raised her chin, and pointed in the direction of the house, "Haven't you heard the story of the Sundance Film Festival?" Rooney was stunned and shook her head blankly, looking dazed. "One day in 1889, the famous robber Butch-Cassidy made his first appearance here and ransacked the Bank of the San Miguel Valley for twenty-four thousand dollars. This was a huge amount of money back then, so huge that the bank never turned over. ”

Although the story is only the beginning, Rooney has already reacted, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

Lan Li smiled and nodded, affirming Rooney's guess, "The rest of the story, all of us are familiar with, Cassidy met Sundance and became the famous double thief, so Robert Redford (Robert-Redford) and Paul Newman's 'Haw Par Little Overlord' was born, and later the Sundance Film Festival (Sundance). When the Great Depression hit, the town was left without banks until it reopened forty years later. ”

Rooney was so surprised that she could barely speak, she pointed to the unremarkable-looking house behind her, "So, that's ......"

"Yes, that's where the legend began. This is the first time Lan Li has come to Telluride, but he has long admired this film destination in his mind. That's where the Bank of the San Miguel Valley was located.

Rooney couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow!" Looking back at the house, "Wow! I'll have to go over and take a picture later!" Rooney laughed brightly, "How about you?"
