1486 Eye understanding
On the red carpet where people come and go, there is always an endless stream of important guests, one after another. Some are well-known faces, some are relatively unknown figures, and some have never been heard of. The figures passing by... crowded the entire Cinema Palace Square with bustle, and the shouts of the audience rose and fell like the ebb and flow of the tide..
The overwhelming frenzy lasted for nearly two hours and still did not stop. The atmosphere seemed to finally feel tired and numb. When another guest appeared on the red carpet, the audience on both sides cheered. The first reaction was not to cheer or applaud, but to look at it..
Who is coming? Should they cheer? Do they know each other? Are there any important guests who haven’t appeared yet? Should they expend more effort? Or, we can just wait for the movie to be released now？
If it's worth it, it'll be too late for them to burst out with energy again..
This is Rooney Mara’s first visit to the water city of Venice.
Objectively speaking, Rooney has now carved a place for herself in the field of art films. David Fincher's "The Social Network" and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" have really won her a lot of attention; but in Europe Among the three major film festivals, she has never made an official appearance, and her influence is relatively limited..
Originally, "Her", who participated in the film at the beginning of this year, was also expected to participate in the promotion boom in Venice and Toronto, but the post-production failed to catch up and missed the registration time. In the end, it could only pass by with regret. This work is now confirmed to be screened at the New York Film Festival and the Rome Film Festival.
Even though "she" missed it, "gravity" caught up.
Unfortunately, Rooney's schedule conflicted during this time. She is currently filming "Garbage Boy" in Rio de Janeiro, and she still encountered many difficulties in scheduling..
On the one hand, her agent naturally hopes that Rooney can appear in Venice, and later in Toronto and New York. Promotional opportunities at such film festivals are crucial for actors participating in art films, and their importance The level even exceeds the exposure and topicality brought by summer movies and commercial movies..
On the other hand, Rooney did not want to disrupt the filming rhythm of Stephen Daldry. Before the filming of the film started, Rooney stayed in New York for a few more days, delaying her joining the set; now she is absent during the filming of the film for some reason. , this is a very unprofessional performance. If it were up to her, she would stay in Rio de Janeiro.
This is a process that requires negotiation and compromise. Until the last moment, "Gravity" was not completely sure whether Rooney would be able to come to Venice to promote.
But Rooney finally arrived.
Arriving in Shuicheng on the day of the opening ceremony and premiere, she had no time to rest at all. She only had time to quickly finish dressing up and dressing up, and then rushed to Lido Island non-stop. Despite this, she was still "late" for the red carpet. The session was almost over and she just showed up.
The whole journey was chaotic and hurried. Not only was the journey tiring, but she was also in a nervous mood. Rooney herself could not settle down. Even though her feet were already standing on the red carpet of the Cinema Palace Square, she was still a little dizzy..
She didn't even have the energy to pay attention to the reporters taking photos and the dull cheers of the audience. The only thought in her mind was to arrive at the scene quickly to avoid disrupting the premiere process, which was not worth the gain..
In the vast sea of people, the change of time difference and the scheduling of the scene gave Rooney the illusion of being in a half-dream and half-awake, and she was a little overwhelmed. Under the blue-purple sky, the setting sun and lights intertwined to form countless A blurry and colorful light spot, the focus of the line of sight can't help but be slightly dizzy..
Rooney stopped and searched the crowd, trying to find the location of the crew or producer so that she could join her friends, but she only saw large crowds of people in her field of vision. This is true both inside and outside the carpet, and I don’t know where the focus should be..
Then she saw Renly.
Renly stood quietly in the circle of people, his gaze was projected slowly and softly, without unnecessary movements or rich expressions. He just stared at her quietly, as if waiting for her to come back to her senses and pay attention. into her sight.
There were about a dozen or twenty steps between the two of them, which was like thousands of miles away on the red carpet. They couldn't see each other's expressions clearly, but she seemed to be able to capture the emotion in those eyes. A warm smile flickering slightly in the night.
Involuntarily, the impatience and panic surging in her chest calmed down. When Rooney realized this, her cheeks began to heat up slightly, which made her lower her eyes in embarrassment - because of this. It was so unlike me, so strange that it made people feel embarrassed and annoyed, but the smile at the corner of his mouth could not help but rise slightly..
When she raised her head again, Rooney noticed that Renly said goodbye to his friends and walked toward her with steady steps..
The journey on the red carpet was so far away yet so close. The slender voice and determined steps hit the chest like a drum. Getting closer and closer..
In an instant, all the noise and chaos in the whole world gradually faded away. They all escaped into a dark nothingness and could no longer be heard. Even the colorful night became brighter, making the people on both sides of the red carpet All the scenery gradually disappeared. Her shy and flustered reaction made her feel a little at a loss.：
“Calm. Calm! You don't have to be so excited.”
Rooney tried to calm herself down, took a deep breath, and took another deep breath, but there was still a touch of sweetness on the tip of her tongue. God, she almost didn't recognize herself. Damn it.！
Renly's footsteps stopped in front of Rooney. Only then did Rooney realize that despite being shy and panicked, her eyes had never left those bright eyes. She just raised her head blankly, quietly Staring at him. She knew that all her emotions had been leaked in her eyes, but...she didn't care at all. She didn't want to move her eyes away..
“You made it after all." Renly's voice was also tinged with a little lightness, "Did you have a smooth journey just now? There were no accidents on the pier, right?？”
Rooney was stunned, and then realized: the reason why Renly stepped forward to greet him was because he was worried about the little accident at the dock. She had heard about it when she was putting on makeup at the hotel. She had never known that, seemingly, The cold and distant Renly actually still has such a side.
“Well, everything is fine, but I still can't adapt to the jet lag and feel a little top-heavy." Rooney's voice revealed a hint of tiredness, but she still smiled at Renly, "But don't worry, I'm in overall good condition. No problem. When watching the movie for a while, I am confident that I will not fall asleep, otherwise Alfonso will definitely be sad..”
Renly nodded gently, turned sideways, and introduced Rooney to the situation on the red carpet, "That would be great. Come on, let me introduce you to some of the friends I just made. I think the reporters will also I should be eager to interview. Alfonso was already a little overwhelmed during the interview session just now and kept sending me distress signals..”
The smile on Rooney's lips couldn't help but rise..
Although her voice and demeanor remained calm, her eyes never left Renly. Even when Renly turned around to explain, her eyes were still on Renly, staring intently. Before she realized it, , the tiredness and irritability slowly disappeared.
Renly turned around again, and then came to Rooney's side. He stretched out his right elbow in a gentlemanly manner. Facing Rooney's puzzled eyes, he simply explained, "Didn't you say that there are still some... Top-heavy?？”
Rooney suddenly understood and chuckled to herself, "I know, my reaction is a bit slow now. It seems that I can't rescue Alfonso tonight. All the heavy responsibility falls on your shoulders. Take care." !" After speaking earnestly, Rooney patted Renly's arm in a serious manner..
A smile appeared in the eyes of the two people. Without saying anything, Rooney took Renly's arm and walked side by side towards the front of the red carpet..
At this time, the blurry and hazy world finally became clear. Rooney could completely feel the cheers and shouts from the audience, which were pouring in from all directions. Rooney couldn't help but feel a little dazed. , raised his chin, and asked seriously, "Is the cheering just now the same? Why do I feel that the magnitude is different?？”
Renly pursed his lips, "Maybe, like you, they also have some jet lag issues to deal with, and their reaction speed is a little slower..”
It was obviously a joke to make fun of the cheers, but Rooney felt like she had been shot in the back. She glanced at Renly speechlessly, and then saw Renly's serious and innocent expression, as if he was answering the question seriously just now. There was no intention to hide it as a joke, Rooney had completely misunderstood it..
Now Rooney can confirm that she did come to Water City, and she did see Renly - still the familiar Renly..
Not far away, Alfonso Cuaron walked over quickly, with a smile on his face and eyes, and said happily, "Rooney, you are here after all."！”
“The entire cast of "Gravity" is extremely streamlined, with two actors, Renly and Rooney, and Alfonso. If Rooney cannot attend the film festival, this means that Renly and Alfonso will face reporters All the firepower was really too much for Alfonso; now there was finally a third person, who could at least lighten the burden a little..
“Director, long time no see." Rooney raised her head and looked at Renly. Alfonso's overjoyed expression was almost obvious to Sima Zhao, and both of them chuckled again, "I'm looking forward to the movie. After a long time, it finally officially debuted today, how could I miss it?？”
