On the red carpet full of people coming and going, there is an endless stream of important guests, one after another. Some of them are well-known faces, some of them are relatively limited in popularity, and some of them have never heard of before... The whole square of the Movie Palace is crowded with people, The cries of the audience are just like the ups and downs of the tide.

The frenzy lasted for nearly two hours, but it still didn't stop. The atmosphere at the scene seemed to feel tired and numb at last. When another guest appeared on the red carpet, the first reaction of the audience on both sides was not cheering or clapping, but looking.

Who is it? Should they cheer? Do they know each other? Are there any other heavyweight guests who didn't show up? Should they use more energy? Or can we wait for the movie to come out now?

If it's worth it, it's time for them to burst out again.

This is Rooney Mara's first visit to the water city of Venice.

Objectively speaking, Rooney has already won a place for herself in the field of art and film. David finch's "social network" and "girl with Dragon Tattoo" have really won her a lot of attention; However, among the three major European film festivals, she has never made an official appearance, and her influence is relatively limited.

Originally, "she", who took part in the performance at the beginning of this year, was expected to participate in the publicity boom in Venice and Toronto, but the post production failed to catch up, missed the registration time, and finally had to pass by regretfully. Now this work has been confirmed to land in the New York Film Festival and the Rome Film Festival.

Although "she" missed, gravity caught up.

Unfortunately, the schedule of Rooney has been in conflict. She is shooting "garbage boy" in Rio de Janeiro, and she still has many problems in scheduling.

On the one hand, her agent naturally hopes that Rooney can appear in Venice, and then Toronto and New York. The promotion opportunities of such film festivals are crucial for actors participating in art films, and their importance even exceeds the exposure and topicality brought about by summer holidays and commercial films.

Rooney, on the other hand, doesn't want to disrupt Steven Dudley's shooting rhythm. Before the film started, Rooney stayed in New York for a few more days, delaying her entry into the group; Now in the process of film shooting, he is absent for some reason, which is a very unprofessional performance. If it was her choice, she would stay in Rio.

This is a process that requires negotiation and compromise. Until the last moment, "gravity" is not entirely sure whether Rooney can come to Venice to promote.

But, after all, Rooney arrived.

I arrived at Shuicheng on the day of the opening ceremony and premiere. I didn't have time to rest at all. I just had time to finish combing and dressing up quickly. Then I came to Lido Island nonstop. Even so, she is still "late". The red carpet is almost over. She has just appeared.

All the way through the chaos of war, not only hard work, but also uneasy mood, Rooney himself has always been unable to settle down, even if her feet have stood on the red carpet of the Movie Palace Square, still a little dizzy.

She didn't even have the energy to pay attention to the photos taken by the reporters and the cheers from the audience, which was a little dull. The only idea in her mind was to speed up the arrival and avoid disrupting the premiere process, which was not worth the loss.

In the vast sea of people, the change of time difference and the scheduling of the scene make Rooney have the illusion that she is half asleep and half awake. Under the blue purple sky, the setting sun and the lights are intertwined to form countless fuzzy and colorful light spots, and the focus of her line of sight can not help fainting.

Rooney stopped and searched for directions in the crowd, trying to find the location of the crew or producer, so that she could join the ranks of small partners. However, in her field of vision, she only saw large crowds, both inside and outside the red carpet, so she didn't know where to focus.

Then, she saw Langley.

Lanli stood quietly surrounded by the crowd, his eyes projected gently and gently, without unnecessary movement or rich expression, so he watched her quietly, as if waiting for her to come back and notice her sight.

There was a distance of about ten or twenty steps between them. On the red carpet, they were like mountains and rivers. They couldn't see each other's expressions clearly, but she seemed to catch the warm smile in her eyes, flashing slightly in the night.

Involuntarily, the impetuousness and confusion surging in the chest calmed down. When Rooney realized this, her cheeks began to burn slightly, which made her eyes drop in embarrassment - because it was so unlike herself, so strange that people were ashamed and annoyed, but the smile on the corner of her mouth still rose slightly.

Looking up again, Rooney noticed that lanli said goodbye to her friends and walked steadily towards her.

A distance on the red carpet, so far away and so near, the slender voice and determined steps pounded on the chest like beating drums. Closer, closer.

In an instant, all the noise and chaos of the whole world gradually faded away, and all of them disappeared into a dark nothingness. They could no longer be heard. Even the gorgeous night became bright, and all the scenery on both sides of the red carpet gradually disappeared. She was at a loss because of her shy and flustered reaction

"Calm down. Calm down! You don't have to be so excited. "

Rooney tried to calm herself down, take a deep breath, take a deep breath again, but there was a touch of sweetness on her tongue. God, she hardly knew herself. blamed!

Lanli's steps stopped in front of Rooney. At this time, Rooney realized that although she was shy and flustered, her eyes never left her bright eyes. She just raised her head and looked at him quietly. She knew that all her emotions had leaked out, but... She didn't care at all. She didn't want to move her eyes.

"You made it." Lan Li's voice was also a little light, "did you come all the way here just now? There was no accident on the quay, was there? "

LUNI was stunned, and then she realized that the reason why lanli came forward to meet her was because she was worried about the small accident on the wharf. She heard about it when she was making up in the hotel. She never knew that Lan Li, who seemed lonely and alienated, had such a side.

"Well. Everything's fine, but now I still can't adapt to the time difference. I feel that I'm a bit top heavy. " Rooney's voice revealed a touch of fatigue, but she still showed a smile to Lan Li, "but don't worry, my overall state is OK. When I watch a movie, I am confident that I will not fall asleep, otherwise Alfonso will be sad. "

Blue Li gently jaw head, side body, for Rooney introduced the situation on the red carpet, "that is no better. Let's go. Let me introduce some new friends to you. I think reporters should also be eager to interview. Alfonso has been unable to cope in the interview and constantly sent me signals for help. "

The smile rose from the corner of her mouth.

Although her voice and look remained calm, her eyes never left lanli. Even when lanli turned to explain, her eyes still fell on lanli. Before he realized it, the tired and irritable mood slowly disappeared.

Lenley turned around again, then came to Rooney's side, and the gentleman stretched out his right elbow. Facing Rooney's puzzled eyes, he simply explained, "don't you mean there are still some heavy heads and feet?"

Rooney suddenly realized and laughed, "I know that my reaction is a little slow now. Now it seems that I can't save Alfonso tonight. All the heavy responsibilities are on your shoulders. Take care After that, Rooney patted lenley on the arm.

They both had a smile on their eyes. Without saying much, Rooney took lanli's arm and walked side by side towards the red carpet.

At this time, the fuzzy and hazy world has finally become clear, and Rooney can completely feel the cheers and shouts of the whole scene, pouring in from all directions, which makes Rooney feel a little stupefied. She raises her chin and asks, "is that the same with the cheers just now? Why do I think the order of magnitude is different? "

Blue Li pursed the corners of his mouth. "Maybe, like you, they have some jet lag problems to solve, and their reaction speed is slow."

It's a joke to make fun of the cheers, but Rooney feels like she's been hit by an arrow behind her back. She glances at lanli speechlessly, and then sees lanli's serious and innocent expression, as if she was just answering a question seriously. She doesn't mean to be joking. It's all a misunderstanding of Rooney.

Now Rooney can confirm that she did come to the water city, and she did see blue Li - still the familiar blue Li.

Not far away, Alfonso Caron came quickly, with a smile on his face and eyes, and said happily, "Rooney, you're here after all!"

Gravity's entire crew is extremely streamlined, with two actors, lenley and Rooney, and Alfonso. If Rooney can't attend the film festival, it means that lanli and Alfonso will face all the fire from reporters, and Alfonso can't bear it; Now a third person has finally arrived, which can at least lighten the burden a little.

"Director, long time no see." Lu Ni raised her head and looked at Lan Li. Alfonso's overjoyed expression was almost the heart of Sima Zhao. Both of them laughed again. "I've been looking forward to the movie for a long time. How can I miss it today?"
