The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 202: Curly Fatty
More than ten o'clock in the morning, the sun was spilt down. After a light rain last night, the whole world has become open today. The autumn weather drove people onto the streets one after another, enjoying a rare good time in the year. Telluride is a slapped town with turbulent people and one-to-one. The prosperous and lively scene is not inferior to that of New York.
Just now another "buried alive" screening was completed. It was a small screening hall. One hundred and seventy auditoriums were fully seated. There was no empty seat left, even though it was at 8 o'clock in the morning. This small-cost work with an investment of less than three million yuan has become Telluride’s darling. It just ended at this time. The line in the cinema hall to buy the "buried alive" screening at 11:30 has already been magnificent. Continued beyond the door, one after another discussion was endless. Even compared to the long queues in Toronto, it is no less impressive.
Lan Li also didn't expect that he would be stopped by the audience directly, arguing in front of him with a splash of mouth foam, which really made him a little bit dumbfounded.
"I think it would be better for me to leave you a little room." Lan Li said solemnly, which made the two people in front of him dumbfounded, as if he hadn't expected such a reaction. But just for a second, the two people began to argue again, with red ears as if they were about to fight in the next second.
This made Lan Li's eyes rounded, then looked at the fat curly man standing behind, and motioned with his eyes, "Aren't you going to stop your friends?"
The curly fat man spread his hands helplessly, and said innocently, "I tried it." He was obviously a friend of two people. During the argument, he had been trying to interject, but he did not work hard for a long time. Can succeed. Now, facing such a scene, he pointed to Lan Li instead, and seemed to say, "Should it not be for you to mediate?" The appearance of the hand-handling shopkeeper seemed to be righteous and uncompromising.
Seeing that the two people were communicating in sign language, Rooney, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but smile, but she didn't intend to blend in, but put her hands behind her back, with an expression of admiring the good show.
Lan Li noticed Rooney's gaze, and the playful look passed between his eyebrows. He burst into laughter, then looked at the two violent blood vessels in front of him, raised his hand and waved in front of them, "Stop, stop! "They all looked over, as well as Curly Fatty and Rooney.
"I don't think the focus of the movie is on political metaphors!" Lan Li gave his own answer. At this time, one person was happy and the other was depressed. Both of them couldn't wait to express their opinions, but Lan Li did not give them a chance. "Paul is a civilian. He can't see those political heights. His only idea is to escape and survive. All the remarks he makes are his feelings under extreme circumstances. He thinks I was abandoned and left alone in the middle of the desert waiting to die. Therefore, those political metaphors are Paul’s understanding, only his understanding. You can agree or oppose it."
"But!" The two tried to interject again to express their views.
Lan Li raised his hand to stop the other party and continued, "I think the real focus of the movie is to tell the story of Paul, and it is also the story of each of us-we always think that politics is too far away from ourselves, as if it has nothing to do with ourselves. Like Paul, he can't see the danger of the Iraq war, nor can he see the impact of those political decisions on him, so he is indifferent. Only when things really happen to him can he feel the seriousness of the matter and start Condemned everything he knew. But the bad news is that not everyone has a chance to start again."
These words silenced both of them.
"So what's your opinion? Paul's point, do you agree with it?" In silence, Fatty Curly asked aloud, which caused everyone to look at him. First, he looked at Fatty Curly. Then he looked at Lan Li at the same time.
Lan Li carefully looked at the curly fat man. He looked like an ordinary public face. His white and plump cheeks were not too obvious. When he was thrown into the crowd, he would be submerged in the blink of an eye, but that end exploded. His curls are very distinctive; a T-shirt with a "Star Wars" Millennium Falcon print shows that he is a geek, with a dark green kit slanted on his shoulders, which does not look like attending a film festival. It's more like preparing to repair furniture at home. His cheeks kept squeezing his eyebrows, and the weird look was a bit of Jake-Blake (Jake-).
A smile was raised slightly at the corner of his mouth, "I think the war is wrong. From the beginning, this war shouldn't have started." Lan Li gave an answer, but he bypassed the core of the curly fat man's question.
The curly fat man nodded meaningfully, "Are you from an elite education background?" Although this is a question, the words are full of affirmation.
For most ordinary people, they are the same as Paul. What they really care about is their own life and their own personal situation. Their horizons are limited; but after receiving higher education, they will gradually expand their horizons and truly realize Any interest-related entanglement is complex and cannot be concluded simply, especially for national-level decision-making. Leaders need to consider the interests of the entire country, but ordinary individuals cannot see the overall situation. Focus on individual interests. In other words, collective interests and individual interests are inherently a contradictory and harmonious complex.
What the two people discussed just now was about individual interests, while Lan Li’s answer was focused on collective interests.
Lan Li's eyes flashed slightly, and his smile rose a little further, "It seems that my answer cannot satisfy you."
Such a response made Curly Fatty laugh happily, "No, I am also a pacifist. I agree with your point of view. War was wrong from the beginning."
On the surface, Fat Curly's words carry a hint of criticism and provocation, but in fact, it can be judged from Lan Li's words, which shows that Fat Curly is actually thinking of Lan Li's thoughts. Through. In other words, he also received elite education. Therefore, this is a simple dialogue back and forth.
Rooney understood it at once, and the smile in her eyes was gently surging. Her grandfather was the owner of the New York Giants, and her maternal grandfather was the founder of the Pittsburgh Steelers. It can be said that she was born in the upper class of New York.
But the two people who were arguing just now did not understand, and they seemed to be unable to keep up with the rhythm. "So, does the political metaphor in the script destroy the integrity of the story?" One of them asked reluctantly. , Lan Li, Rooney and Curly Fatty exchanged their sights and laughed together.
"I think you can continue to discuss it with other fans." Rooney said aloud, "This is Telluride. The collision of different opinions is the most interesting, isn't it?"
This point of view was immediately nodded in agreement by the two people. You rushed down the stairs of the cinema and quickly walked towards the cafe diagonally opposite-there were a lot of people who just finished watching the movie. The atmosphere of the audience is extremely lively.
The argument was still in the first second, but the next second he moved. Rooney didn't expect this situation. She couldn't help but froze. Curly Fatty laughed heartily, with Rooney and Lan Li. The individual also laughed.
"I made a special trip to watch the movie today, worried that the queue is too long and I can't buy tickets. I didn't expect that not only saw the movie, but also saw the male protagonist, it shows that I have good luck today." Curly Fatty said with a smile. "I must admit that the movie is a huge surprise, far beyond my expectations." He raised his hands, patted his hands gently, and applauded to express his respect.
Lan Li nodded politely and expressed his gratitude, then turned to look at Rooney next to him, "I first watched my work twice with a lady, and then met enthusiastic fans. It seems, Telluride Virtue is my blessed place." That ridiculous tone brought Roone in with him, which made Rooney helpless, and her smile couldn't help but overflowed, "If you haven't arranged it this afternoon, then I highly recommend it. 'Social Network', this movie is much better than some highly respected works."
The meaningful words made Curly Fatty laugh again, pretending to be deep, "I don't know if you are talking about'buried alive' or some other work that we don't know about?" Apparently, Lan Li said It was "The King's Speech", and the curly fat man heard it right away.
Lan Li spread his hands and made an innocent expression~lightnovelpub.net~ Who knows? "
The laughter finally stopped. Lan Li pointed to the other side of the street and sent out a friendly invitation, "We are going to have some breakfast now, and then we will start the second round of watching movies. You are planning to join you. Friends? Or stay with us?"
Although it is a stranger, this is Telluride, and all fans are friends.
The curly fat man's gaze fell on Lan Li, and he looked at it seriously, as if thinking about something. The appearance of hesitant and halting was not as simple and neat as he was just now. Rooney thought he was embarrassed. So he took the initiative to say, "Welcome, we are going to find a place to eat pancakes, if you like it too."
The curly fat man laughed, "No, that's not what I meant." He waved his hand, "I'm happy to join you, I'm just thinking, if I invite Lan Li now, I hope he can appear in my next movie. The work, is this too casual and rude? Or should I look for a more formal occasion, such as through your agent, solemnly issue an invitation, so as to show my sincerity."
Seeing the sincerity and determination in the eyes of Fatty Curly, things suddenly became interesting.
