Chapter 47： Alcohol-Free City

Mormons, this word is actually not the correct name, to be precise, it should be The Church of **** Christ of Latter-day Saints. The general meeting of the church is located in Salt Lake City. In fact, Salt Lake City is a city built by the early church members with their faith in God. This is extremely rare and special in the history of urban development in the world.

There are two most well-known teachings of Mormon Church. The first is polygamy; the second is no smoking, no drinking, no drug use, and no gambling. Under the eyes of Mormons, a group of the wildest, freest, and most alternative film youths in the world gathered together, so drinking has become the most painful thing for everyone after the carnival.

It is a bit harsh to say that there is no alcohol at all. At least there are all kinds of beers listed on the beer shelf in front of Gu Luobei, but if you take a closer look, you will find that either there is no alcohol or the content is as small as alcoholic chocolate. . There are several stores in Salt Lake City that are legally authorized to sell alcohol, but they also close at 10 p.m. In Salt Lake City, it's impossible to find a bar. Park City, which belongs to the management realm of Salt Lake City, is naturally the same.

So, it's not surprising that the man couldn't find beer on the shelf just now. Gu Luobei came here two days ago and completely forgot about this. He even dragged Teddy Bell and wanted to go to the bar. As a result, he walked around Salt Lake City like an idiot for most of the night before he remembered that this was Mo. The door. The home base of teaching.

However, a party without alcohol is naturally not a party. Sundance, an international independent film carnival, naturally has places to drink. On the main street of Park City, there are several houses where parties are held regularly, and there are all kinds of wine, beer, vodka, etc. in it, and all of them are free. At the opening reception yesterday, Gu Luobei even saw a super pure wine with an alcohol content of 93. But how to drink is also learned. If you want to drink, you can only drink it in the house. Once you leave the house and drink again, the local police will directly take it down. So, this can also be called a carnival.

Gu Luobei and the man beside him, to be precise, walked out of the supermarket with Ryan Gosling, Gu Luobei pointed to the uniformed policeman standing not far from the supermarket, "Look, I used to strongly question their hands. The drink served was tequila. But it turned out that it was just a glass of ice water." It was ironic and funny to say that the police officers, all big and three thick, holding a glass of ice water in their hands, really made people laugh and cry.

Ryan Gosling rubbed the back of his neck tangled, "Huh, I'm still thinking of drinking some wine to ease my nervousness, it seems I can only do it." He also completely forgot who owns Salt Lake City, Drinking is only allowed in certain areas. Mainly it's too stressful.

When it comes to Ryan Gosling, in January 2001, he is also a little famous, but if it was put in 2011 and 2012 before Gu Luobei's car accident, he can definitely be said to be a popular fried chicken all over the world. . At the age of twelve, Ryan Gosling joined the "Mickey Mouse Club" and became friends with Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera. However, he made his debut as a singer and finally made a name for himself in the film industry. Not only was he shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Actor in 2006 with "Half Nelson", but it broke out in 2011. The three movies "Desperate Driving", "Crazy Stupid Love" and "President Killing Bureau" were released in the same year. , has achieved good overall results, it can be said that the limelight is in full swing.

Ryan Gosling, who is now in front of Gu Luobei, has left the "Mickey Mouse Club". Last year, he officially entered the film circle with "Glorious Years". He met the actor Denzel Washington for the first time. As a supporting role, Ryan Gosling also received a lot of praise. The movie "The Believer" that Gu Luobei intends to watch this afternoon is the second movie starring Ryan Gosling, and he is the leading actor in the movie.

"If you want to drink, you can drink as much as you like when you are officially carnival at night." Gu Luobei replied with a smile, "As for nervousness, I think you won't be nervous if you run around Park City." Ryan Gosling laughed, and Gu Luobei raised the pizza and Coke in his hands, indicating that he was going to enjoy lunch, "absinthe in the party room is also a good idea, provided you don't Lie there after drinking." Gu Luobei said as he stepped back, "Good luck!" Then he turned and left.

The smile on Ryan Gosling's face has not disappeared. The language of this stranger who has never met is indeed very bold and humorous, which makes people feel good. Seeing Gu Luobei disappearing on the corner of the street, Ryan Gosling remembered that the two did not exchange names. After all, it was just a casual conversation, and they never thought of getting to know each other. However, Gu Luobei was no longer in sight, so Ryan Gosling could only give up, turned around and left.

After watching "The Believer" in the afternoon, to be honest, Gu Luobei was a little disappointed. He remembered the film, won a lot of praise and won a few awards, but he had never watched it in his previous life, so he only watched it in the afternoon. Will come to see it directly. But maybe the expectations are too high, after reading it, the greater the disappointment.

"The Believer" is adapted from a true story. It tells the story of a Jewish young man, Danny, who was a top student at a Hebrew school, but during the course of his studies he kept questioning the "Old Testament" and the beliefs of his own nation. Love to hate. Danny also consciously reached out to neo-Nazi groups and eventually became a member of the Ku Klux Klan. But in the end, he couldn't get rid of his national identity and committed suicide.

In fact, speaking individually, this is a good film, an excellent film. Ryan Gosling's acting skills are very brilliant and vivid. This Jewish young man, who has turned from love to hate, and from hate to love, is vividly on the paper under his interpretation. That kind of conflicting and painful mood, in Ryan Gosling's performance authentic and credible. The tenacity of the Jewish nation and the perseverance of the people of faith are undoubtedly shocking.

But it is precisely because Gu Luobei has heard about the film's good reputation for a long time, so he is looking forward to it and has high requirements for the film. The second half of "The Believer" is a little sluggish, but the strength of the speeches is somewhat lacking. Ryan Gosling's performance in just the second film is amazing, but it still lacks a kind of charisma. Therefore, Gu Luobei still feels a little disappointed!

However, it is undeniable that Gu Luobei has also learned a lot from Ryan Gosling's performance. Acting is something that needs to be pondered and researched by oneself. Only through continuous learning and accumulation in life can progress be made. Ryan Gosling's outstanding performance in "The Believer" also touched Gu Luobei a lot.

"Bei, I still prefer 'Memento'." Teddy Bell spoke very frankly. Everyone has a preference problem, and it is normal for people who don't like even the best movies. "This 'believer' is always a little boring." The Bell family didn't pay much attention to religion, and occasionally went to church for worship, but it was far from belief.

"They are going to be sad when the director hears it." Gu Luobei said with a smile, "but I also prefer 'memory fragments'." This reversal also made Teddy Bell chuckle. Get up, "I don't know how the finished product of 'Death Illusion' will be officially opened tomorrow." Gu Luobei has not seen the final cut version of "Death Illusion". expect. Although it's not so nervous that his hands and feet are shaking, it is indeed a good choice to drink some wine. Gu Luobei can understand the feelings of Ryan Gosling at noon.

Just entering the party scene, the oncoming alcohol smell makes people feel the carnival atmosphere. Although Gu Luobei is not a person who likes to drink, he still feels very happy at this moment. Free drinking occasions in a wine-free city are like an oasis in the desert. Even if you are not thirsty, you will be infected by the atmosphere here and feel the joy in your heart.

Gu Luobei saw two familiar and unfamiliar faces in the crowd. They were familiar because they were well-known to each other in their previous life, and they were unfamiliar because Gu Luobei had never seen them in person. It was Zhang Yimou and Zhang Ziyi that Gu Luobei saw. Zhang Yimou brought Zhang Ziyi's debut film "My Father and Mother" to the Sundance Film Festival this time. As the only representative film in Asia, it can be said that it has attracted much attention. What's more, Zhang Yimou has long been known internationally for "hanging the red lantern high", UU reading www. uukanshu.com There are many people around him.

Just when Gu Luobei was hesitating whether to go forward, a call came from behind him, "Hey." Gu Luobei turned back subconsciously, and then saw a face with a green smile.

To be honest, Ryan Gosling is not the first handsome guy at first sight, especially since he is only 20 years old now, and the temperament that will be popular on the big screen in the future has not completely settled down. At this time, his still childish scholar's face had a look of innocence and shyness, and the melancholy temperament between his eyebrows gave him a distinctive temperament, this contradictory feeling Make it easy for Ryan Gosling to impress. Of course, the inch of the board cut to shoot the "believers" is also a very impactful image.

"Absinthe?" Ryan Gosling raised the glass in his hand and smiled at Gu Luobei. Since the 19th century, absinthe has been a favorite of bohemian artists such as Van Gogh, Monet, Wilde, Hemingway, etc., so most celebrities will choose this absinthe for such gatherings.

Gu Luobei didn't expect to meet Ryan Gosling again here. If he said he wanted to drink at noon, he would drink it at the party at night, and they really met at night.

Gu Luobei crossed Ryan Gosling's shoulder and saw that Teddy Bell also came over with a drink, so he smiled and pointed to Teddy Bell who was walking over, and said, "Beer is still for me. It's more attractive."
