086 Hard to get a vote

Emerson stood on tiptoe and looked at the long queue in front, and couldn't help but sigh, "Are there always so many people in the film festival? I can't believe that the first time I queued up in my life was to watch a movie." Emerson turned around and looked at Lily, then pointed to the more than 30 people standing behind Lily. The long queue looked like there was no end, showing an incredible expression, "Look, we have only been here for five minutes, God, five minutes! This is definitely a fantasy!"

Lily was about to speak up and mock Emerson, but then she saw Emerson spinning too fast, her feet were unstable and she was almost about to fall. Lily grabbed Emerson reflexively to prevent him from causing a chain of accidents. But even so, she was still half a beat slower, and Emerson bumped into a little girl behind him.

After Emerson stood firm, he quickly turned around and looked at the other person carefully, "Sorry, sorry, I'm really sorry, it's all my fault." He noticed that the little girl was only thirteen or four years old, and her thin little body stood in front of Emerson and looked like a weak reed, which made Emerson even more panicked, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, I'm fine." The little girl laughed. The cheerful laughter didn't look like a girl at all, but like a boy who had been rolling in a fraternity for several years. She waved her hands repeatedly and jumped on the spot. "Don't worry, I'm not a water-filled balloon, it's not that easy to explode." The joke made Emerson and Lily stunned, and then they couldn't help laughing.

The little girl pointed to the team they were in, "There are a lot of people queuing in the past two days. Sundance was originally a holy place for movie lovers. He opened fifteen windows yesterday, but in order to buy tickets, he still had to wait for about a quarter of an hour. The entire hall was stuffed." Then she pointed to a clearing space at the far end, "There are still five windows that didn't have time to start work. Obviously, they didn't expect that everyone would be so enthusiastic today, and it would be much better in a while."

The little girl's passionate and lively emotions quickly infected the Carter brothers and sisters, and Lily became proactive and introduced herself with a smile, "Hey, I am Lily, this is my brother Emerson."

"Oh, I'm glad to know you, Lily." The little girl seemed a little surprised, because Lily and Emerson looked eighteen years old, which was the difference between junior and high school students. Generally speaking, they were not willing to talk to her. After saying hello, she realized that the next order was her, "Stone, Emma Stone." Her answer seemed a little incoherent, which made her pat her head in annoyance, "Sorry, the high school students take the initiative to talk to me often."

Emma's candor made Lily laugh, "You are a very cute girl, I don't think Emerson would mind talking to you."

Emerson immediately raised his hands with an innocent expression on his face, which made Emma chuckle, but she did not intend to answer the conversation, but changed the subject, "So, is it your first time to attend Sundance?"

"Yes, we came here for a director." Lily took over Emerson's position and started talking to Emma. The age gap seemed insignificant because of special occasions like Sundance. "What about you? This is obviously not your first time."

"Is it certainly legal to participate in Sundance at your age?" Emerson suddenly interrupted, causing Emma and Lily to look at each other. Under pressure, he could only close his mouth obediently and force him to look away.

"I'm fourteen! Not four!" Emma glared and said word by word, expressing her position, but then muttered depressedly, "Although many movies I need to accompany me." This made Lily grin again.

The movies that appeared at the Sundance Film Festival were not classified, and the scale of many works needed to be considered, so there were indeed many inconveniences for minors to appear in Park City. Emma came with her mother this time.

Emma quickly skipped the depressed topic and raised her head and said, "This is my first time, but I came here on the first day, so these situations are no longer unfamiliar." Emma looked around and then showed a puzzled expression. "In fact, since yesterday afternoon, the number of movie viewers has been rising. I heard that yesterday's midnight scene was also full. As soon as I came here this morning, I saw such a scene. I was shocked. I surrounded it and found that almost two-thirds of it came for a movie called "City of God", but I watched it..."

Emma originally wanted to say that there was nothing special about the film "City of God" from director to actor. It became a topic after it was released yesterday, which really surprised her. However, before she could finish her words, Lily and Emerson cheered at the same time, "Yeah!" This made Emma stunned and looked at the two friends she had just met with astonishment.

Emerson immediately opened the official magazine he had just obtained, "Look, it's this movie. Lancelot-Straello's directorial debut," Emerson jumped. "Now the average rating reaches 3.5, which is considered one of the best works so far. We came to Park City specifically for this movie! We have been following this movie for several months, and director Lance is simply a genius!"

Emerson seemed a little incoherent because he was too excited. Lily nodded from the side and said with a smile, "And he is a super handsome guy! Believe me, even Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise cannot be compared!"

Lily's words made the figure of that man appear in Emma's mind inexplicably, the thrilling figure in the rainstorm. Since that meeting, Emma has always been unable to help but think of him. She even suspected that she had an illusion. When she arrived in Sundance on the first day, she received the help of a strange man in the cafe. In a trance, she thought it was that man. But soon, Emma realized that this was just her own hallucination, which made her feel that she must be crazy.

The same is true at this time.

Emerson looked at Lily, who was flirting with a look of helplessness, but nodded, "Although I am also a man, I have to admit that Lily is right." Then he turned the page behind the official magazine, "Look, this is a photo at the premiere!"

Emma's first reaction was that no one could compare to that man. But out of politeness, she took over the official magazine. When her eyes fell on the photos on the magazine, she was like a lightning strike, her eyes widened, and there was only a voice in her mind roaring, "It's him!"

The man in a black suit suddenly crashed into her sight, and then a storm broke out in her mind, and his heart suddenly stopped beating, "Who is he?" Emma found that her voice was so dry. She once thought she would never meet that man again. The two of them were just a meeting in the rainstorm, but she did not expect that they would meet again without warning.

"Lancelot-Straello." Emerson did not notice Emma's abnormality at all, and said naturally, "It's that talented director. Believe me, the movie he directed is absolutely wonderful! If you follow Javier's blog, then you will know what I mean!"

"So, have you also come to Parker City for the sake of "God City" after reading Javier's blog?" A voice that tried to suppress his excitement came from behind, causing Emerson and Lily to turn their heads at the same time, and then you can see a middle-aged man with a big belly standing in front of you, with a fanaticism similar to Emerson on his face.

"Yes, yes!" Emerson jumped excitedly, "Have you read Javier's blog this morning?"

"Of course!" The uncle clenched his fists hard, then waved the official magazine in his hand, shouting in a half-screaming manner, showing a youthful vitality that was completely inconsistent with his age. "Seven minutes of standing ovation, and the official score was 3.5!" Emerson and the uncle immediately slapped each other to celebrate. They were just strangers who had met for the first time, but showed an incredible tacit understanding.

"Javier's blog?" Another voice came in next to him. The girl dressed in a college student, with her long blonde hair tied into a ponytail, showing her youthful vitality.

Before they could say hello, three more people came over one after another, "Did you come here because of Javier?"

In just a few seconds, the scene became extremely lively in an instant. Emma was still immersed in her thoughts and had no time to react, and then was surrounded by a group of people. She raised her head and looked at the extremely lively people in a daze, but didn't know what was going on.

"Next!" The staff at the counter shouted, and Emma didn't have time to think deeply, so she quickly turned around and walked over. Emerson and Lily temporarily put away their excitement and quickly followed.

Emma originally planned to buy tickets for the "Whale Knight" afternoon movie, but her brain paused and blurted out, "Two 'City of God'." She and her mother.

"Sorry, all the movie tickets for the morning and afternoon games of the 'City of God' have been sold out." The staff showed a regretful expression on their faces, but they still said politely.

"What!" Emerson, who was standing behind Emma, ​​exclaimed first.

The staff explained, "The total number of movie tickets for the 10 movies in the morning and afternoon are sold out. Now there are only nightclubs left, otherwise you will have to come and queue up tomorrow."

The cheering sound suddenly became silent, and everyone looked at each other - no one expected this result. It was only less than ten o'clock in the morning, and tickets for "City of God" were sold out less than two hours after the tickets started today!

It's sold!
