Chapter 703 Open-air Screening
Night has fallen, and thousands of lights are like stars, dyeing the sky hanging above the high-rise buildings into peacock blue bit by bit, spreading out coquettishly and gorgeously, inadvertently When you look up, you pause for a moment, and the busyness of New York seems to relax a little.
"Ah, the weather is so nice tonight. It's rare."
Leaving the house, Blair relaxed, got rid of disappointment and irritability, and forced himself to shift his attention——
Winter in New York is always gray, especially in Manhattan. The towering buildings block the view. Not to mention the sky full of stars, even the sky is always covered with a layer of fog, making it difficult to see the original colors.
But tonight, the moon and stars are sparse, and the weather is rare.
Blair found his smile again.
As soon as he turned his head, Blair saw Karen who was still lowering her head absentmindedly, with mischievous thoughts emerging.
"Anson!"
With a sudden movement, Karen immediately raised her head and quickly turned her head around like a meerkat to look around. However, the pedestrians coming and going around were normal and there was no excitement at all. and cheering, Karen immediately understood.
"Claire, this is not funny!"
Karen looked depressed and stamped her feet.
Claire laughed happily, "Who was so dismissive of Anson in the first place? She should really come over and see what she looks like now."
Karen:...
Claire, "Haha, hahaha." Then she hugged Karen tightly, "Okay, okay, no more joking. We need to stay normal. It would be great if we could participate in the flash mob event. But if that doesn’t work, we should still cheer for Anson.”
"Now, let's not think about it for the moment, we need to shift our attention."
"There, what is there?"
Karen rolled her eyes helplessly, "I don't think so at all. Care."
Claire, "There are so many people gathered there, maybe they are waiting for Anson."
It's another joke, Karen couldn't laugh or cry, "Claire!"
< br>
Claire ignored her and turned around to wave as she jogged, "Karen, follow, hurry up."
Karen sighed softly and muttered, "It's strange that there are so few people here in Washington Square. Let's go." He still followed.
Washington Square, located in the Greenwich District of Lower Manhattan, has become a famous landmark because it has an arch similar to the "Arc de Triomphe". The fountain above the square has become the background for countless college graduates to take photos——
New York University, right here.
Unlike other universities, New York University does not have a formally designated campus. The school buildings are scattered on Manhattan Island, and a large part of them is around here, surrounding Washington Square.
It is precisely because of this that young college students come here to play all year round, there are street performers, painters practicing sketching, couples going on dates and walks, etc., keeping it busy all year round.
Every year during graduation season, New York University rents Washington Square to take graduation photos. This area has become an integral part of university life.
In addition, it is also a popular venue for various events.
Street concerts, election lecture tours, TV street interviews, etc. A few days ago, this was also a densely populated area with New Year's Eve party crowds.
So, Washington Square is lively all year round.
Same thing tonight.
However, when Claire and Karen got closer, they discovered something slightly different -
In the garden on the west side of the square, a square stage was set up at this time. The stage was not high, that is, About thirty centimeters, the focus is not on the stage, but on the projection screen behind the stage, the size is terrifying.
At this time, there were about two to three hundred people gathered in the square, talking in groups, and dancing happily.
Party again?
"Hey, may I ask, are there any special events here tonight?" Blair stopped a random person and asked in a friendly manner.
The other party smiled and responded cheerfully, "Open-air screening. NYU holds regular events every month and plays some old movies. Everyone can participate for free. Are you interested? You can stay if you want.”
That’s it.
After thanking the other party, Blair looked at Karen. The excitement just climbed onto her eyebrows and finally settled down. She immediately understood what her friend was thinking——
Maybe, Anson?
For a brief second, Blair also thought of Anson in her mind, but this was a fixed monthly activity at New York University, and this was not a movie theater. She immediately realized that she was also obsessed now.
Shaking his head, reminding himself that Anson was meeting the audience in Boston now, Blair pulled his reason back to the ground and looked at the lost Karen.
"How about, do you want to stay and watch the movie? Or should we go to the cinema to support the 'Cat and Mouse Game'?"
Karen struggled a little, but thought that she might not be able to sit in the cinema obediently Inside, when watching "Cat and Mouse Game", your mind may be thinking about explosions, but your steps will still stop.
"What movie will be shown here tonight?"
Blair handed Karen a flyer with the New York University emblem seal -
The "Superman" tetralogy was broadcast continuously.
In 1978, the first ever superhero movie "Superman" appeared, and Superman played by Christopher Reeve became a screen classic.
After that, Christopher Reeve played Superman four times, which became a footnote to his entire acting career; but unfortunately, the third and fourth parts of the series were too shoddy and failed at the box office. This also led Warner Bros. to shelve the series completely and has never restarted it until now.
The corners of Karen's mouth raised slightly, "Are you sure? Won't everyone laugh?"
Blair also laughed, "I'm not sure, but I think we can try it."
< br>Sure enough——
Laughter, one after another.
The film shooting technology in 1978 is too rough and crude from today's perspective, and the existence of Wia can even be seen on the big screen.
Not a shadow, just a tightrope.
The technology was full of loopholes, and the audience couldn't help laughing. Blair and Karen were no exception, and their smiles were completely blooming.
However.
"Wow, a good movie is still a good movie." Karen couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't think I would like it."
The same goes for Blair, "Even though I can see Superman It was hung by wire ropes, haha, but the story is a good one and I like it too.”
"So? Do we go back now, or stay and watch the second part?"
Although it is a series of four parts, there is a short break between each part and each movie.
Karen turned her head and looked at the college students around her. She was sitting cross-legged on the ground with a blanket. Potato chips and beer were scattered everywhere. She was leisurely and a little casual, and a relaxed and happy atmosphere was quietly in the air. diffuse.
"I want to watch another one, Blair." Karen asked for advice.
Blair spread his hands, "Originally I wanted to leave, but it seems like a good way to spend Friday night."
Rustling.
There was some commotion ahead. Blair and Karen both looked over, and soon there were rumors among the students.
Before they could continue their guessing, a boy wearing a New York Yankees baseball cap appeared in front.
"Sorry, the projector has some malfunctions. Please give us five minutes. Thank you for your understanding."
