196 telluride
The asphalt road stretches forward in a winding way, with steep cliffs on both sides constricting the sky into a narrow plank road. Lush pine and maple trees spread along the lines of the mountains, vast and tranquil, and the hustle and bustle of the big city behind them seems to be gone. Blocked by this natural barrier, you can have a panoramic view of Colorado's unique spectacular landscape and rugged cliffs. With just a few strokes, you can outline the tranquility and bustle, as well as the loneliness and perseverance of the golden autumn in September..
There is only one passage in the whole world to enter here. As the wheel advances, the road behind it becomes farther and farther. The dead end surrounded by mountains on three sides in front of you seems to be the end of the world, making all the running, all the wandering, and all the vicissitudes of life disappear. I couldn't help but slow down my pace and lingered..
After walking out of the hotel, the coldness and coldness in the air echoed in the valley. The cable car above our heads was moving swayingly, and we could hear the creaking sound of it constantly colliding with the cliffs. It was like walking into the world. The vastness at the end makes you feel the emptiness and vastness of the world under your feet, as if this small town, which is only twelve blocks long and eight blocks wide, contains secret stories that will never leave the mountains..
At just the first sight, Renly fell in love with this small town. This small town called Telluride reminded him of the Peach Blossom Spring in Tao Yuanming's works. There was no need to deliberately search for it. Everywhere he looked was beautiful scenery. There are beautiful scenes wherever you go. Explore this town with your feet, from the town court to the foot of the mountains. The gentle slopes are excellent ski resorts in winter; from the wide grassland to the cable car station, it can accommodate two people. This town of 1,500 people has the comfort and tranquility of being isolated from the world..
Finally, I found the last empty table on the street and sat down. I relaxed my feet and let my mind settle slowly. I looked at the mountains of maple leaves dyed yellow and red in the distance and couldn't help but be intoxicated..
“Sir, are you ready to order? "The waiter put away the coffee cups and cake plates from the next table and asked casually..
Renly raised his head and saw the gray-haired waiter in front of him. He looked to be in his fifties or sixties. His neat short hair was neatly trimmed, his mustache was trimmed neatly, and his off-white shirt was casually uncovered. Two buttons were unbuttoned, and although his figure was a little out of shape, his chic and uninhibited manner ignored the traces of time and had a different kind of charm..
“Todd? Lu Li glanced at the nameplate on the waiter's chest, "Do I need a cup of black coffee, or should I say, a bottle of beer is the best way to integrate into this town?"？”
“Coffee would be more suitable for you." Todd said with a slight smile on his lips, "You look like a European, more accurately, British. Or do you need black tea? "While speaking, Todd also glanced at the table of beer-drinking and noisy guests behind him. His teasing meaning could not be more obvious..
“That's coffee." Renly put his right foot on his left knee, and a smile couldn't help but relax on his lips, "I need something stronger than black tea." The guests at the table behind him just burst out laughing, Renly and Todd exchanged glances, and both laughed..
“Oh." A sighing and panicked voice came from behind, and then another voice said with a hint of nervousness and apology, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were going to sit down, otherwise, this seat would still be given to you..”
“No, no, it doesn't matter to me." The first voice refused repeatedly and said kindly, with a hint of polite smile in his words..
Todd immediately came forward and said, "Ma'am, the seats outside are all full. If necessary, there are still vacancies inside.".”
“No... no need." The reply sounded hesitant, "I just want to rest outside for a while..." She looked around, her movements hesitant, and Todd pointed at the empty seat in front of Renly, "Mr. , would you mind sharing a table?？”
Renly raised his right hand and gestured to the empty seat in front of him, "Of course I don't mind, please sit down. I'm just resting here and have no intention of waiting for dinner." It was only after one in the afternoon, and there was no lunch time yet. However, when he mentioned "dinner" at this time, he was obviously joking, which made everyone smile..
“Thank you." The man pulled out the chair without being pretentious, sat down opposite Renly, then raised his head and looked at Todd, conveying his request, "Black tea, thank you..”
Todd and Renly exchanged glances and couldn't help but smile..
This action made the person's eyes full of questions, but she didn't understand what was going on. It would be too impolite to ask directly, so she could only suppress her curiosity, "...the town is really lively, isn't it?？”
The face in front of him has a hint of heroism. The straight eyebrows are not feminine at all. Instead, they are raised sharply. He is wearing a simple dark blue sea soul T-shirt and a pair of deep and smart deer eyes, shining with generous wisdom. and steady, just like a ray of sunshine falling through the rain and fog in the harsh winter in Seattle, clear and warm.
This is not an unfamiliar face - it is not an accident to meet a familiar face at the Telluride Film Festival. The small space is filled with hundreds of film practitioners, almost all of whom appear on the street. Every unfamiliar face comes for the film festival.
On the table behind him, among the four people drinking beer, Quentin-Tarantino’s loud and noisy movements really caught the eye; sitting diagonally in front of him was Kate Winslet. -Wi) and Seth Rogen, they raised their hands to say hello to Aaron Sorkin who had just passed by; not far above the street, Robert Downey Jr. Downey-Jr. and his wife walked out of a drugstore. The neon green cross was very conspicuous. He took out a cigarette from the cigarette case in his hand and started puffing on it in the street - Colorado was the first large-scale drugstore in the United States. In states that have legalized marijuana, pharmacies can directly sell marijuana.
The same was true for the person sitting in front of Renly at this time, Rooney-Mara）.
She was originally known as her sister Kate-Mara, but she got her first chance as an actress this year when she starred in the much-anticipated "The Social Network," which cast Telluristic It had its world premiere at the German Film Festival. The media has not yet had the opportunity to see the whole film, so there is no way to comment. However, the directing by David Fincher and the real-life Facebook fanfare are enough to make the film attract enough attention. many looks.
“Yes, I plan to watch 'The Social Network' in the afternoon, but the entrance to the Sheridan Theater has been blocked, I guess, I can only wait for the midnight show." Renly said with a chuckle, making Rooney green. He laughed heartily, as if he still wasn’t used to someone mentioning the movie he starred in..
Rooney pursed her lips, looking a little at a loss, "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 entirely to movie fans. There is no red carpet, no special premiere, and no media venue. Anyone who wants to watch a movie must queue up like ordinary movie fans. Buy tickets; similarly, movie fans want to communicate with movie creators about movies. In addition to official press conferences, movie fans can catch the creators in any corner of the town and express their opinions anytime and anywhere..
The relaxed, free, casual and open atmosphere made Telluride look less like a film festival and more like a carnival party. This was completely different from the Toronto Film Festival three days ago. A different look. This is a film festival, but it’s not like a film festival.
This palm-sized place has eleven movie theaters. Incredibly, it is the place with the highest concentration of movie premieres in the United States, second only to New York and Los Angeles..
“You'd better hurry up, otherwise you will be the only outsider when the audience participates in the discussion." Renly's teasing once again brought a faint smile to Rooney's eyes..
While he was talking, a group of young people roared past with laughter, stopped in front of a house across the street, and then began to take pictures in a crowded place, which made everyone look away..
At first Rooney thought it was a top star showing up - Tom Cruise bought a mansion here. Not only would he attend the film festival here every year, but he would also come here to ski in the winter. Town residents I was very familiar with Tom. But then I took a closer look and found that the group of young people were just taking pictures by themselves, and there were no big stars worth paying attention to among them..
“Is there anything special about that house? " Rooney couldn't help but asked curiously, but after turning around, she realized that the person sitting in front of her was not a friend, but a stranger. She smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry..”
Renly twitched the corner of his mouth indifferently, raised his chin, and pointed in the direction of the house, "Haven't you heard about the Sundance Film Festival?" Rooney was stunned and shook her head blankly, He looked confused. "One day in 1889, the famous robber Butch-Cassidy showed his skills here for the first time and robbed the San Miguel Valley Bank of $24,000. This was the first time in that year But it was a huge sum of money, so huge that the bank could never turn around again..”
Although the story was only at the beginning, Rooney had already reacted, with a look of surprise on her face..
Renly smiled and nodded, confirming Rooney's guess, "The subsequent story is familiar to all of us. Cassidy met Sundance and became a famous pair of thieves, and Robert was born. - Robert Redford and Paul Newman's 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Sundance', and later the Sundance Film Festival. After the Great Depression, there were no more banks in this town. , and did not re-enter the country until forty years later..”
Rooney was so surprised that she could hardly speak. She pointed to the ordinary-looking house behind her, "So, that is……”
“Yes, that's where the legend begins." This was Renly's first time in Telluride, but he had long admired this movie destination. That was the San Miguel Valley Bank. old site.
Rooney couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wow!" She looked back at the house, "Wow! I have to go over and take a photo later!" Rooney smiled brightly, "How about it? And you？”
