Chapter 312 In the fog
“Gloria...Gloria!”
A call came to my ears, and Gloria’s center of gravity returned again. On the ground, the brain that was like paste finally gradually became clear and regained its sanity.
As soon as she turned her head, Gloria saw Elaine's face full of excitement and excitement, her cheeks were flushed, and there was a little sweat on her forehead.
The focus of her eyes returned, and the corners of Gloria's mouth raised. The first reaction that came to her mind was, "Wow."
A sigh.
Obviously nothing was said, but Elaine miraculously understood it and nodded repeatedly.
“Yes. Wow!”
“God, can you imagine?”
Gloria grinned cheerfully, “Do you like it?”
Elaine nodded crazily, "I like it, of course I like it, I like it so much."
Gloria's eyes also lit up, "Me too..." She couldn't help but pause slightly, "I thought My favorite moment is when Michael appears at the dance, Jesus Christ, at that moment I really forgot to breathe..."
"Yes, yes," Elaine nodded like a doll, her eyes full. It’s love, “Really, he is the prince!”
Gloria, “But actually, what impressed me most was the scene where Michael wore a mask and rejected Mia, wow. , I mean, have you noticed the look in his eyes? You can still see his emotions through his eyes even though you can't see his face. To be able to see such a stroke of genius in a movie like this?”
As she was talking, Gloria discovered——
A group of people had silently gathered around her.
Including Elaine, both of them nodded vigorously, as if they had found a soulmate, and the excitement and excitement in their eyes were exactly the same.
Although there has always been a market for movies of the same type as "The Princess Diaries", and although Gary Marshall has proven himself with "Pretty Woman" and "Runaway Bride", objectively speaking, such movies tend to The same, similar patterns and similar plots are repeated over and over again, ultimately lacking in novelty.
Of course, "Princess Diaries" is no exception. Such a story about the growth of teenagers is far from innovative, let alone a classic. From Mia's ugly duckling transformation to Michael's grand debut, The same thing remains the same, it's just a new package with the same core.
It looks good, but it still looks familiar.
But!
I never expected that such a scene would appear in the movie. A small prop was cleverly used to change the scene, delicately and complexly presenting more complex, profound and subtle emotions.
It reminds me of the scene in the 1996 version of "Romeo and Juliet" where Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes meet across the fish tank. , quiet and gorgeous, the stunning moment makes the film freeze at that moment forever.
The same is true for "Princess Diaries". The mask blocks the expression, but makes the eyes shine, which instantly elevates the brilliance of the entire movie to a new level.
Unfortunately, Michael's later action of "forgiving" Mia was still too simple and crude, which also resulted in the character arc not being fuller.
However, they really can't ask for more. After all, Gary Marshall has never been a director with fantastic ideas. This scene is already amazing enough.
It is precisely this short scene that allows "Princess Diaries" to go a step further and have more possibilities on the basis of ordinary movies.
Apparently, Gloria wasn't the only viewer to spot this scene.
This made Gloria fall into a burst of ecstasy, and the happiness in her chest instantly swelled and overflowed, "Ah, I want to watch it again right now."
Looking around the field of vision, you can see a group of groundhogs nodding wildly in agreement, with unbearable excitement and excitement in their eyes——
Gloria has always been fond of the new and dislikes the old. She is always passionate for three minutes, she doesn't mind and never denies it. She thinks this is not called dissatisfaction, but should be called fraternity. She can like many people, and when she likes everyone, she is sincere and gives all her enthusiasm.
This is not a contradiction.
Including Anson is no exception.
However, today is different. Gloria didn't expect that even though the movie was over, the mask scene was still deeply etched in her mind and she could never forget it.
Everything is different. A kind of trembling from the depths of the soul stirs the aftertaste for a long time.
Gloria had a feeling that some things seemed to have changed quietly.
Then.
Gloria noticed that Elaine’s eyes were clear and bright, with a little innocence, as if she had entered a new world that she had never touched before:
It was indeed a first time for them.
For the first time, they believed that their princess dreams could become a reality; for the first time, they saw a truly perfect prince on the big screen.
It is also the first time that they completely blur the boundary between fantasy and reality, and they are still in a dream like a dream until the end of the movie.
Involuntarily and uncontrollably, Gloria also became excited.
In the past, the movie ended when it was over, and the nymphomaniac’s happiness could just stay in the screening room; but today, the surging emotions in my mind and the burning excitement in my chest cannot be suppressed at all, and words It's not enough to describe one ten thousandth of my happiness, and it finally turned into an impulse.
The urge to scream.
“Ah!”
A scream, a smile crept up the corner of her mouth, Gloria laughed heartily, looked at Elaine, the two exchanged glances and then both screamed .
“Ahhh!”
Compared with words, this method is simpler, more direct and more crazy. The passion and enthusiasm boiling in the blood are vented like this.
There was a turbulence all around, and it spread mightily along Hollywood Boulevard.
The night is getting darker, but the carnival party in front of the Emirate Theater has just begun.
......
In fact, not only the Emirate Theatre, but when Anson returned home, he was also greeted by a night of carnival.
A premiere for them, a party for them, officially kicked off.
"Uh."
Sober with a hangover, a splitting headache, and the whole world roaring, Anson sat on the bed in a daze, his focus collapsed, and every muscle in his body was protesting, and there was nothing he could do. love.
For a moment, I felt a little dazed——
The applause and cheers from last night seemed to still be echoing in my ears, and the bustling crowd and media surrounded them on three levels outside and on three levels. .
At that moment, it was like standing in the center of the world.
With a turn, all the cheers, turbulence, and crowds all disappeared, like a dream that, although very real, had never happened.
The embarrassment and pain in front of him brought him back to reality. Everything was silent and empty. Nothing had happened and nothing had changed.
So, what is real and what is false?
It turns out that this is the truth of Vanity Fair——
Besides the headache and dry mouth, there is only a buzzing echo surging above the eardrums, but there is nothing to catch. I can't feel anything, just falling into endless nothingness.
Bang!
There was an explosion in the air, and my heart skipped a beat. For a moment, I couldn't tell whether it was my eardrum bursting, or a hole in the sky.
Maybe, neither?
