Movie Master

Chapter 68: little effort

"'City of God'?" Ethan chewed the name carefully, "Does this refer to Rio?"

Lance laughed softly, "It can be said to be yes, or it can be said to be no. This is actually the name of a slum in Rio, but obviously, Brazilians have always believed that God used the seventh day to create Rio, so you Calling Rio the 'City of God' is, I think, right."

Ethan stopped in mid-air while holding the beer, and pushed the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, "This is an interesting start. But, remind me, why am I interested in this work?" After finishing speaking , Ethan took a sip of beer, with a contented lightness on his face.

"If I say that this work is written and directed by me, does it count?" Lance's unexpected answer made Ethan pause, with a strange expression on his face, and he said, "You know I'm not this year's judge, am I?" The blunt rhetorical question made Lance chuckle, "Trust me, if you were this year's judge, then I wouldn't say that."

Ethan thought about it quietly, then shrugged, "Fair enough."

"There are always different ways to misfortune in the world. The pain of birth, old age, sickness and death always makes us feel helpless. The displacement brought about by the turbulence of war makes personal power extremely small, and there are also poverty and lack of education." Lan With just a few words, Ethan managed to get Ethan to cast his gaze, and looked at Lance seriously, "Even if it is the same slum, different countries and regions have different problems. The city of God, this is the city of God. The city of nostalgia, or the city cursed by God, or the city forgotten by God."

Although Lance did not mention any specific content of the movie "City of God", the smile on Ethan's face became meaningful, "Forget, this is a very light word, but it has extremely powerful power .”

"It's like Machu Picchu." Lance's voice made Ethan pause for a while, and after some serious thinking in his mind, he raised his eyes and looked at Lance who had taken a big gulp of beer in front of him, showing a big smile, and nodded. head, "Yes, it's like Machu Picchu."

Lance noticed the affirmation and curiosity in Ethan's eyes. It could be seen that Ethan was indeed interested in "City of God". Lance drank the beer in his hand and put the bottle on the bar. "By the way, my work is also a documentary—at least I think so."

After finishing speaking, Lance patted the table, asked the bartender to come over to collect the bottle, and then waved his hand to Ethan, "I'm going to see 'My Flesh and Blood', of course, I also need some fresh air." Afterwards, Lans Without any pause, Si turned and left chicly.

Ethan stood where he was, his eyes hidden behind the black-rimmed glasses were flickering slightly, his eyes were reluctant to leave the background of Lance for a long time, but the smile on the corner of his mouth revealed his true inner thoughts at the moment, "This is really an interesting story. guy."

Leaving the warm and spring-like room, the biting cold wind outside immediately woke up the chaotic brain, and the alcohol that had just been drunk quickly began to roll. Lance found Percy who was standing alone in the corner, and the two went to the cinema together, bought two tickets for "My Flesh and Blood", and the figure disappeared under the hazy sky.

The movie ended, but Lance didn't leave immediately, but sat quietly in a chair. With his hands crossed on his knees, he stroked the lines on his fingers carefully, and the thoughts in his mind were constantly churning. The greatest strength of the documentary is: all of this is real, without any modifications or adjustments, and everything is what happened in real life. This kind of power that comes from life and reality is powerful and cruel, ferocious and bloody.

This is one of the charms of movies. This art form that comes from life and is higher than life can always let people re-taste the different tastes of ups and downs in different ways, and let people see a completely different new world. , And then return to give out your own thoughts.

"Gentlemen, I'm sorry, the next screening will start in ten minutes. If you plan to continue watching, please re-enter."

The location guide of the movie theater came over, his low voice trembling slowly in the air. Lance keenly caught the figure of the person coming from the corner of his eyes. He cleared up his emotions early and regained his calm. He raised his head and nodded to the guide to express his understanding of the situation, and then stood up.

After taking a step, Lance noticed that Percy was still sitting on the chair. Turning his head, he saw Percy's handsome face fell silent, without saying a word. The face that lacked a smile appeared stiff and cold, and the pain in the depths of his eyes was gently surging, "Percy." Lance's voice woke Percy up, and he tidied up his emotions in a panic, and stood up in a panic Get up, follow behind Lance, and leave the auditorium.

Standing at the entrance of the cinema, snowflakes began to fall sporadically in the sky again, and the snowflakes the size of rice grains were surging, like dandelions flying in the air, falling in all directions with the breeze. His footsteps stopped at the door, and after looking around, Lance walked towards the coffee shop across the street.

At this time, a cup of coffee is obviously more helpful than alcohol.

There are not many guests in the coffee house. After all, this is the Sundance Film Festival, and the movie is the main character, or the main supporting role. Coffee can only be regarded as a spice at best. Most people will not choose to stay in the coffee shop to kill time, at most just buy a cup of coffee, and then rush to the movie theater to join the carnival. Therefore, the room was a little deserted. However, that quiet breath gave the brain time to relax.

The curling aroma of coffee gradually settled in the air, and the snowflakes outside the window were getting bigger and bigger, but the turbulent crowd was still coming and going, making this quiet town extremely prosperous, almost an illusion, As if this is Broadway in New York, there are many tourists and traffic.

The boiling coffee gradually cooled down, and the boiling brain gradually calmed down, but a low voice suddenly came from the left side of the body, breaking the tranquility in this small world, "Sorry, girl, if you don't spend here If so, can you please get out of this position, we need to maintain normal business."

The voice was unobtrusive and very polite, but the content of the words was not so gentle, and seemed a bit harsh in the peaceful atmosphere. Normally, Lance would not meddle in other people's business. However, this is Sundance, where the stars of tomorrow are gathered. Lance's temporarily empty brain reflexively split his thoughts and noticed the conversation behind him.

"I'm sorry to disturb your normal business." The voice seemed a little immature, with a faint hoarseness that didn't match the age, and it sounded rough like a bad girl smoking, but there was timidity in the voice. A little hesitant, but the overall thinking is still clear, without deliberately pretending to be pitiful, rational and humble, "My mother will be here soon, and I'm here to wait for her. Isn't it okay?"

"Sorry, no." The waiter's answer was simple and clear, "This is not Disneyland, and we have no business for children." These words were very harsh.

However, Lance showed a playful smile, because the girl's voice sounded a little hoarse, but the waiter treated her as a child. This age conflict made Lance a little curious about her real age.

The girl seemed to have lost her temper, "But, there are still so many seats in the coffee shop, isn't it?" child.

"I'm really sorry." The waiter's words were still polite, but the content did not budge, "I must invite you to leave, please don't force me to use violence." The decisive attitude dominated the momentum. upper hand. It can be seen that if they didn't care about the special situation of the other party's underage, they would have used tough methods.

Lance was a little curious about the girl's reaction, but after waiting for a while, he didn't hear any reply. He couldn't help but glanced back, and then he saw a little girl, UUReading Book www.uukanshu.com about twelve or three years old, her dark red hair was combed into two braids and drooping on her shoulders. The opened facial features still have some baby fat, she looks like a child who grew up on a farm, she is completely a red-haired girl, but the eyes are very distinctive, shining with vitality, dancing between the brows , Adds a lot to the whole appearance.

She stood up at this time, clenched her fists angrily, and her rapid breathing could tell the surge of her emotions at this time, but standing in front of the waiter, she couldn't reach the waiter's chest. The comprehensive downfall in form, age, and aura made it impossible for her to act rashly.

But here's the interesting part, even though she couldn't gain the upper hand at all, the girl still didn't flinch, she stared back with those big eyes without showing any sign of weakness, which made the waiter dare not be violent for a while.

Looking back, Lance raised his right hand and snapped his fingers, and then the waiter's voice came over, "Sir, please wait a moment." Then, he lowered his voice and said, "Sorry, you have to leave , I mean, immediately!" After throwing a fierce scolding, he walked over quickly, with a polite and humble smile on his face, and his gentle tone firmly adhered to the credo of "customer is God" , "Hi, may I help you?"

Lance didn't look up either, but just took out his wallet from his pocket and pulled out a ten-dollar bill. The waiter stretched out his hands and took it, with a friendly smile on his face, waiting for Lance's instructions. Then, Lance also showed a slight smile, and said modestly and politely, "Please give the lady behind me a caramel macchiato, thank you."
