"I didn't like that movie."
A shout came from the street, interrupting the heated conversation between Renly 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. With a pair of trousers, with a faint smile on his face, he kept shaking his head.
Feeling everyone's attention, 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 out his hands and replied in a loud voice, "At least you entered the cinema."
"But there will never be a second time." The man didn't hesitate and pushed back. After speaking, he himself felt very funny, the corners of his mouth rose up, he waved his hand in disgust, and then quickly did not look back. Step 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 it was the black man with dreadlocks who spoke. , the girlfriend in his arms kept laughing and slapped her boyfriend's chest, but still couldn't stop him, "Who made the movie actor not a black man, and still so handsome? I hate this movie, God ,I swear!"
A simple conversation caused the pedestrians on both sides of the street to chuckle, and even the audience sitting outside the coffee house echoed.
This is Telluride, the one and only Telluride.
Everyone can express their views on a movie. Watching a movie is like art. It is a very personal thing. Some movies are praised, but they just don’t like it, and some movies are scolded. But I just had a good time watching it, so any audience has their own unique viewing experience.
The most special thing about Telluride is not that it provides a platform to express their opinions publicly, nor that it provides an occasion for equal communication between the crew and the audience, but that everyone has a very peaceful mind. Like is like, hate is hate, even criticism does not need to hurt each other's feelings, art, born with a mind that accommodates 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, "To be honest, I wouldn't go into the movie theater to watch it a second time. A torture!"
This comment made Renly laugh happily. "That's the highest compliment I've ever heard."
After the discussion, the young people dispersed again with a bang. Unlike the containment and frenzy of the Toronto Film Festival, in Telluride, the actors can be seen in the streets and alleys, there is no need to be crazy, here, everything It's all about movies, and only about movies.
After saying goodbye to everyone, only Renly and Rooney remained where they were, Renly gave Rooney an apologetic smile, "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 rolling around in Hollywood for more than three years and nearly four years, starring in two films, "Tanner Hall" and "New Elm Street," and has guest appearances. The popular American drama "The Story of the Emergency Room" has never opened up in terms of popularity. Even in this "social network", the main weight of the drama is also on the two male actors.
It's embarrassing and frustrating to be surrounded by people at a film festival as approachable as Telluride without being recognized. So Renly apologized.
However, there was a hint of self-deprecation and a hint of ridicule in Renly's tone, which made Rooney smile lightly, "I guess, after the premiere of 'The Social Network', our positions will be changed. ." There was a hint of playfulness in the confidence, and at the same time he fired back calmly, which made Renly laugh dumbly, "However, after everyone's discussion just now, I am looking forward to the movie more and more now. The expectations are too much. After it's high, it's not a good sign."
Renly spread his hands calmly. "I accept criticism of any kind."
Rooney's eyes lit up slightly, but her seemingly unchanged expression flashed a hint of clever cunning, "This is a small town, but there are tens of thousands of viewers, after this afternoon, maybe I will never meet again. it's your turn."
The Telluride Film Festival, which attracts more than 100,000 spectators every year, brings life to the town. Although it cannot be compared with the audience numbers of 300,000 or 400,000 people in the three major European film festivals, those who are willing to make a special trip to Telluride are all loyal and devout film enthusiasts, and their meanings are naturally different.
Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, and a playful light flashed in his eyes, "So, are you inviting me on a date?"
Rooney shook her lower lip slightly, and the helpless smile on the corner of her mouth, with a hint of sarcasm and playfulness, was fleeting, "Of course not, Prince Charming." The sarcastic tone couldn't be more obvious, "I'm just inviting You, watch 'Buried Alive' with me. If you don't have faith in the movie, forget it."
While speaking, Rooney's black and white eyes were raised slightly, and she looked at Ren Li carefully, with a hint of provocative stimulation, she made clear the use of aggressive tactics, but she was not afraid that Ren Li would see through.
Renly didn't answer in a hurry, and slowly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one, and put it in the corner of his mouth. But Rooney never left the corner of his eyes. He could detect the rejection flashing in Rooney's eyes-here, because of the legalization of marijuana/marijuana, coupled with the carnival atmosphere of the film festival, almost everyone will have it in their bags One pack or two packs of hemp/hemp, but still some people don't like it.
Renly bit the cigarette holder lightly, then raised his right hand, put the cigarette between his fingertips, and took it down again, without any intention of explaining, but instead asked, "If I watched 'Buried Alive' with you, then Does that mean you're going to watch 'The Social Network' with me?"
Rooney didn't expect such a situation, her eyes shifted from the cigarette to Renly's face, her surprised expression was not concealed, Renly shrugged, "That's fair, isn't it?"
Rooney glanced at the cigarette. "So, is this a date?"
The smile at the corner of Renly's mouth was like a spring breeze passing through the tops of the plane trees, gently waving, "Of course not, Snow White."
Rooney bit her lower lip, but she couldn't help but lift her 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, and the overflowing laughter 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.

In the Telluride Film Festival, it is the biggest goal of the organizing committee to ensure that every audience can see their favorite movies. All the screens in the eleven cinemas are constantly showing movies 24 hours a day, and each movie will win at least 30 shows, ensuring that there is enough space to ensure that the audience will not miss their favorite works.
Therefore, even if there is a queue, even if the number of viewers is endless, almost every audience can finally achieve their wish. If you miss this one, there will always be another arrangement, the next theater.
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. The world premiere of "Social Network" is arranged in the morning, and "127 Hours" at noon. After meeting with the audience, it was the turn of the "King's Speech" in the afternoon, and the long queue at the door never diminished.
Telluride is the most special of the major film festivals. It is the only film festival that can directly select works from the competition units of the major film festivals. In other words, as long as Telluride likes a movie, whether it is in Berlin or Venice, the work will definitely give Telluride face, and arrange a special schedule to show it here.
Thanks to Telluride's operation method that does not select any awards or even publish official journals, and gives all the right to choose and comment to the audience, it has become the world's largest gathering place for movie enthusiasts. Just like Woodstock back then. Therefore, whether it is a major film festival, or a film production company or a distribution company, they are very happy to see it, and they strongly hope that their films can be shown here.
Being on the Telluride Film Festival's list every year is an affirmation in itself and something to celebrate.
Therefore, the fanatical audience continued to follow the tail of the team, and the Sheridan Theater was blocked. The 24-hour carnival was uninterrupted. There was no need to choose, and any movie still had a place to buy tickets directly. Because every screening is a wonderful work, and it is a masterpiece worth watching.
But even so, Renly and Rooney had to wait for two shows in order to watch "Buried Alive". There were countless spectators who bought "Buried Alive" tickets in the cinema. They only bought tickets for 6 o'clock that night at two o'clock. And it's a theater on the edge of town. This detail can be seen. 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" has now tied with "127 Hours" as a hit on the first day of the Telluride Film Festival.
As for the "social network", it's even more incredible. As Renly expected, they ended up buying only midnight tickets, and walked into the movie theater at 12:30 in the middle of the night to sit in the audience and enjoy the work. By the time the movie ended, it was already early morning, but even so, the whole town was still brightly lit and awake all night. Those movie lovers were enjoying this feast that belonged to them, carnival until dawn.
