Chapter 197

The asphalt road meanders forward. The steep cliffs on both sides close the sky into a narrow plank road. The lush pines and maples spread along the lines of the mountains. It is green and quiet. The noise and prosperity of the big cities behind it seem to be blocked by this natural barrier. You can have a panoramic view of the unique spectacular landscape and rugged cliffs of Colorado, Just a few strokes outline the tranquility and noise under the golden autumn and September, as well as loneliness and perseverance.

There is only one passage for the whole world to enter here. With the progress of the wheel, the road behind us is getting farther and farther. The dead alley surrounded by mountains in front of us seems to be the end of the world, which makes all the running, wandering and vicissitudes slow down and forget to return.

Walking out of the hotel, the cold and chilly air reverberates in the valley. The cable car above the head moves unsteadily. You can hear the creaking sound crashing against the cliffs. That kind of desolation towards the end of the world makes you feel the emptiness and vastness of the world under your feet, as if you are in this district with only 12 streets In a small town eight blocks wide, there is a secret story of never getting out of the mountain.

Just at the first glance, lanli fell in love with this small town, which is called teliureid. It reminds him of Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Land. There's no need to look for it. Everywhere you can see is beautiful scenery. Everywhere you go is beautiful scenery. Explore this small town with your feet and walk from the small town court to the foot of the mountains, The gentle hillside is a wonderful ski resort when winter comes; From the broad grass to the cable station, the town with 2500 people is secluded and peaceful.

Finally, I found the last empty table on the street, sat down, relaxed my feet, let my mood slowly settle down, and watched the maple leaves dyed yellow and red in the distance.

"Are you ready to order, sir?" The waiter picked up the coffee cups and cake dishes at the next table and asked casually.

Lanli looked up and saw the gray haired waiter. He looked like he was 50 or 60 years old. His short hair was neat and tidy, his mustache was neatly trimmed, and his off white shirt opened two buttons at random. Although he was a little out of shape, his natural and uninhibited manner ignored the traces of time and had a different charm.

"Todd?" "I need a cup of black coffee, or is a bottle of beer the best way to get into this town?" he said

"Coffee will suit you better." With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Todd said with ease, "you look like a European, or more accurately, an Englishman. Or do you need black tea? " At the same time, Todd also glanced at the table behind him, drinking beer, loud guests, the meaning of ridicule can not be more obvious.

"That's coffee." Lanli put his right foot on his left knee, and his smile relaxed and climbed into the corner of his mouth. "I need something more powerful than black tea." The guests at the table behind them just burst out laughing. Lanli and Todd exchanged views and both of them laughed.

"Oh." Behind him came a sigh and flustered voice, followed by another voice with a trace of tension and apology, said, "sorry, I don't know you are ready to sit down, otherwise, this position is still for you."

"No, it doesn't matter to me." The first voice refused again and again, said kindly, and a polite smile could be heard in the words.

Todd immediately stepped forward. "Lady, the seats outside are full. If necessary, there are still seats inside."

"No, it's not." Her voice hesitated. "I just want to have a rest outside for a while..." she looked around and hesitated. Todd pointed to the empty seat in front of lanli smartly. "Would you mind joining the tables, sir?"

Lan Li raised his right hand to indicate the vacancy in front of him, "of course, I don't mind. Please sit down. I'm just here for a rest. I don't plan to wait for dinner It's just one o'clock in the afternoon, and lunch time hasn't passed yet. When he mentioned "dinner", he was obviously joking, which made everyone smile.

"Thank you." Without affectation, the man opened his chair and sat down opposite lanli. Then he looked up at Todd and conveyed his request, "black tea, thank you."

Todd and lenley exchanged a sight and couldn't help smiling.

In that person's eyes, this action was full of question marks, but she didn't understand what was going on. It was impolite to ask directly. She could only suppress her curiosity. "The town is really very busy, isn't it?"

The face in front of us is a bit heroic. The straight and straight sword eyebrows are not feminine at all. On the contrary, they fly up sharply. A simple dark blue sea soul T-shirt and a pair of deep and flexible deer eyes are shining with generous wisdom and steadiness, just like a touch of sunshine falling through the rain and fog in the harsh winter in Seattle, clear and warm.

It's not a strange face - it's not an accident to meet a familiar face at the triliuride Film Festival. There are hundreds of film practitioners in the small space, and almost every strange face on the street comes for the film festival.

On the table behind him, among the four people who were drinking beer, Quentin Tarantino's loud and noisy movements were really eye-catching; Sitting in front of them were Kate Winslet and Seth Rogen, who raised their hands to greet Aaron Sorkin; Not far from the street, Robert Downey Jr. and his wife walked out of a drugstore. The neon light of the Green Cross was very conspicuous. He drew a cigarette from his cigarette box and began to smoke in the street. Colorado was the first state in the United States to legalize marijuana, and drugstores could sell marijuana directly.

It's the same with Rooney Mara sitting in front of him.

She was originally known for her sister Kate Mara, but this year she starred in the "social network" that attracted a lot of attention and ushered in her first good opportunity as an actress. The film was premiered at the triliuride Film Festival in the world. At present, the media has no chance to see the whole film, so there is no way to comment on it, But the director David Fincher and the power of Facebook in reality are enough to attract enough attention.

"Yes, I'm going to watch 'social networking' this afternoon, but the entrance to Sheridan theatre is already jammed. I guess I have to wait for midnight." Lanli's words with a light smile made Rooney smile green and astringent. It seemed that she didn't adapt to someone mentioning her starring movie.

Rooney pursed her lips, a little at a loss. "I haven't seen the finished film now. It seems that midnight is my only choice now."

The reason why the festival is unique is that it belongs entirely to the fans. There is no red carpet, no special premiere, no media field. Anyone who wants to watch a movie has to queue up to buy tickets like ordinary fans; In addition to the official press conference, fans can catch the creators in any corner of the town and express their opinions anytime and anywhere.

The relaxed, free and open atmosphere made him look like a carnival party rather than a film festival. This is different from the Toronto Film Festival three days ago. It's a film festival, but it's not like a film festival.

There are eleven cinemas in this small place. It's incredible that this is the most crowded place for movie premieres in the United States, second only to New York and Los Angeles.

"You'd better hurry up, or you'll be the only outsider when the audience gets involved in the discussion." Lanli's ridicule once again made Rooney's eyes suffused with a shallow smile.

During the conversation, a group of young people roared past, stopped in front of a residential building across the street, and then began to take photos in a crowd, which made everyone cast their eyes.

At first, Rooney thought it was a top star - Tom Cruise bought a luxury house here. Every year, he not only attends the film festival here, but also skis here in winter. The town residents are very familiar with Tom. But after a closer look, we found that the group of young people were just taking photos themselves, and there were no big stars worthy of attention.

"Is there anything special about that house?" Lu Ni can't help but ask curiously, but after looking back, she realizes that the person sitting in front of her is not a friend, but a stranger. She smiles awkwardly, "sorry."

Lenley pulled the corners of his mouth, raised his chin, and pointed to the direction of the house. "Haven't you heard of the story of the Sundance Film Festival?" Rooney was stunned. She shook her head in a daze“ One day in 1889, the famous robber Butch Cassidy made his debut here, robbing the San Miguel Valley Bank of 24000 dollars. This was a huge sum of money in those years, so huge that the bank never turned over. "

Although the story only said a beginning, but Rooney has reacted, face appeared surprised look.

Lenley nodded with a smile, affirming Rooney's conjecture. "Later on, we all know the story. Cassidy met the sun dance boy and became a famous double thief. As a result, Robert Redford and Paul Newman's" tiger and leopard "and the Sundance Film Festival were born. After the great depression, there were no more banks in this small town, and it wasn't until 40 years later that it was back in. "

LUNI was so surprised that she could hardly speak. She pointed to the flat looking house behind her, "so, that's..."

"Yes, that's where the legend began." This is Langley's first visit to trilliureid, but he has long admired this movie resort in his mind. That's the site of the San Miguel Valley Bank.

Rooney couldn't help exclaiming, "Wow!" Looking back at the house, "Wow! I'll go and take a picture later! " Rooney laughed brightly. "What's up? And you? "
