198 refuse a date
“i don't like that movie.”
A shouting voice came from the street, interrupting the lively conversation between Renly and others. Everyone turned their heads and looked over, and then saw the face of a man in his early thirties, wearing a simple hat and T-shirt. Paired with medium trousers, with a faint smile on his face and shaking his head.
Feeling the attention of everyone, he continued to shake his head and shouted again, "I don't like it! Jesus Christ, I really can't like that movie.”
Faced with such a direct accusation, Renly spread his hands and shouted back, "At least you walked into the cinema..”
“But there will never be a second time." The man didn't hesitate and pushed back. After saying that, he himself felt very funny. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but raised, he waved his hands in disgust, and then walked quickly without looking back. left.
Unexpectedly, another voice came from this side of the street, "Man, I don't like that movie either." Following the voice, it seemed that it was a black couple, and the speaker was the black man with dreadlocks. , his girlfriend in his arms kept laughing and slapping her boyfriend's chest, but still couldn't stop him, "Who made the male protagonist of the movie not a black man, and also so handsome? I hate this movie, God , I swear！”
A simple conversation caused pedestrians on both sides of the street to chuckle, and even the audience sitting outside the coffee shop echoed the words..
This is Telluride, the only Telluride.
Everyone can express their own opinions on a movie. Movie watching, like art, is inherently a very personal matter. Some movies have received rave reviews, but I just can’t like them, and some movies have been scolded. But I just had a lot of fun watching it, so every viewer has his or her own unique viewing experience..
The most special thing about Telluride is not that it provides a platform to openly express one's opinions, nor that it provides an opportunity for the crew and the audience to communicate on an equal footing, but that everyone has a very peaceful mentality. If you like it, you like it, and if you hate it, you just like it. Hate, even if it is criticism, there is no need to hurt each other's feelings. Art has an inherent tolerance for all praise and criticism..
Looking back, Renly saw the young man who looked like a college student standing in front of him, with an innocent expression on his face, "Honestly, I won't go into the cinema to watch this a second time. This is simply... a torture！”
This comment made Renly laugh heartily, "This is the highest compliment I have ever heard..”
After the discussion, the young people dispersed with a bang again. Unlike the siege and frenzy at the Toronto Film Festival, in Telluride, actors can be seen in the streets and alleys. There is no need to go crazy. Here, everything is All about movies and only movies.
After saying goodbye to everyone, only Renly and Rooney remained where they were. Renly showed an apologetic smile to Rooney, "This is also the first time for me. Before today, I was ignored. the one.”
No one recognized Rooney just now - compared to Renly, Rooney has been in Hollywood for more than three years and nearly four years. She has starred in two movies "Tanner Hall" and "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and made a cameo appearance. The popular American drama "Emergency Room" has never gained popularity in terms of popularity. Even this time in "The Social Network", the main role is still played by the two actors..
It was indeed quite embarrassing and disappointing to be surrounded by people at an approachable film festival like Telluride without being recognized. Therefore, Renly expressed his apology..
However, there was a hint of self-deprecation and ridicule in Renly's tone, which easily made Rooney smile slightly, "I guess after the premiere of 'The Social Network', our positions will be changed." ." There was a hint of playfulness in his confidence, and he also counterattacked calmly, which made Renly burst into laughter, "However, after everyone's discussion just now, I am now looking forward to the movie more and more. The expectations are too high. After getting high, this is not a good sign..”
Renly spread his hands calmly, "I accept any form of criticism..”
Rooney's eyes lit up slightly, and a hint of clever cunning flashed through her seemingly unchanged expression, "This is a small town, but there are tens of thousands of spectators. After this afternoon, maybe I will never see you again." It's your turn.”
The Telluride Film Festival can attract more than 100,000 viewers every year, bringing vitality to this town. Although it cannot match the 300,000 or 400,000 viewers of the three major European film festivals, Comparison, but those viewers who are willing to make a special trip to Telluride are all loyal and devout movie enthusiasts, so the meaning is naturally different..
Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, and a playful light flashed in his eyes, "So, are you inviting me on a date?？”
Rooney gently shook her lower lip, and the helpless smile at the corner of her mouth was filled with a hint of sarcasm and playfulness, and it fleetingly said, "Of course not, Prince Charming." The teasing tone couldn't be more obvious, "I'm just inviting. You, watch 'Buried Alive' with me. If you're not confident about the movie, forget it.”
As she spoke, Rooney's black and white eyes slightly raised, looking at Renly carefully, with a hint of provocative stimulation, making it clear to use the provoking method, but not afraid of Renly seeing through it..
Renly didn't answer in a hurry. He slowly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. After pulling out one, he held it in the corner of his mouth. However, his peripheral vision never left Rooney. He could detect the flash in Rooney's eyes. Exclusion - here, due to the legalization of marijuana and the carnival atmosphere of the film festival, almost everyone has a pack or two of marijuana in their bag, but there are still some people who don't like it.
Renly bit his cigarette holder gently, then raised his right hand, held the cigarette between his fingertips, and took it back. He had no intention of explaining, but asked, "What if I watched 'Buried Alive' with you? Does that mean you'll be watching 'The Social Network' with me?’？”
Rooney did not expect such a situation, and her eyes shifted from the cigarette to Renly's face. Her surprised expression was not concealed. Renly shrugged, "This is only fair, isn't it?？”
Rooney glanced at the cigarette, "So, is this a date?？”
The smile on Renly's lips was like the spring breeze blowing through the sycamore treetops, gently rippling, "Of course not, Snow White.”
Rooney bit her lower lip, but she couldn't help but smile. She had to lower her head, straighten her expression, and then nodded, "Okay, no problem. But, I don't eat popcorn.".”
Renly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "I'm losing weight..”
This sentence really made Rooney laugh. The laughter that overflowed was enough to melt the ice and snow, and the afternoon sun became brighter..
“So, which theater do we need to go to now? "Renly looked around and extended a gentleman's invitation to Rooney..

Despite this, the grand scene at the entrance of the movie theater has still become a scene in the town. As the oldest movie theater in the town, the Sheridan Theater is undoubtedly the most popular. In the morning, the world premiere of "The Social Network" was arranged, and at noon, "127 Hours" Meeting the audience, it was the turn of the "King's Speech" in the afternoon, and the queue at the door never narrowed..

Therefore, fanatical audiences followed the queue in a steady stream and blocked the Sheridan Theater. The carnival continued for 24 hours without interruption. There was no need to choose. If there was room for any movie, they could just buy tickets and enter. Because every screening is a wonderful work and a masterpiece worth watching..
But even so, Renly and Rooney had to wait two full games to watch "Buried Alive". There were countless people buying tickets for "Buried Alive" in the cinema. At two o'clock, they only bought tickets for six o'clock that night. And it is a theater at the edge of the town. This can be seen in every detail. After the fermentation of the Toronto Film Festival, the popularity of "Buried Alive" has shown a gratifying upward curve..
Rumor has it that “Buried Alive” is now neck and neck with “127 Hours” as the first-day favorites at the Telluride Film Festival.
As for "The Social Network", it was even more incredible. Just as Renly expected, they only bought midnight tickets in the end, walked into the cinema at 12:30 in the middle of the night, and sat in the auditorium to enjoy this work. Waiting for the movie to end It was already early in the morning, but even so, the whole town was still brightly lit and stayed up all night. Those movie lovers were enjoying this feast that belonged to them and partying until dawn..
