Chapter 337

White snow along the street on both sides of the road all the way up, like Lego building blocks in general houses scattered, slowly under the feet of the hills gradually climbing up.

Walking along the quiet road of the town, suddenly, the vision becomes wider. You can see a broad and gentle platform space. The steep mountains and continuous mountains behind are like natural barriers, blocking the world. The thick snow covered the original verdant green, replaced by the snow covered ski path, winding down in the dark green forest, outlining a leisurely winter.

Park City, not far from Salt Lake City, Utah, is famous for skiing and Sundance Film Festival. All of these, it seems, are similar to that of triliureid. In fact, the layout and style of the two towns are similar.

The difference is that when the triliuride Film Festival is held, people still grasp the tail of summer. People wear short sleeves, hold coke, sunbathe on the lawn, and enjoy the leisure brought by the film; When the Sundance Film Festival was held, people dressed in down jackets and hot coffee walked back and forth between the major cinemas to welcome the grand gathering of independent films.

Since 1983, the Sundance Film Festival founded by Robert Redford has come to the 27th, and has become the largest independent film gathering resort in the United States and even the world. Every year, hundreds of independent filmmakers gather here to celebrate.

Compared with the star gathering of telliureid, park city will usher in a large number of completely unfamiliar new faces every year. Here, there are no awards season, no college public relations singing and dancing, and no commercial atmosphere noise. Some of them are just movies, and only about movies.

Telliureid can invite such popular movies as "the king's speech", "social network" and "127 Hours" to participate in the award season, so that fans can really enjoy a feast of stars; But some of Sundance's films are just the first directors, the unheard of independent directors, the independent works that are hard to win the attention of the award season, and the evil classic films with unique style. All the films are about films, and only about films.

Of course, the movie "tiger, leopard and bully" connects the two distinctive film festivals, triliuride and Sundance. This is another story.

This week, "crazy love" is about to make its debut at this year's Sundance Film Festival.

For a small cost work with an investment of less than 250000 yuan, the situation of "crazy love" is even more bleak than "buried alive".

The production cost of "buried alive" is at least 3 million yuan, and part of it is publicity cost. So at the beginning, "buried alive" could sign up for the Toronto Film Festival, and take the east wind to join the ranks of the triliuride Film Festival; But "crazy love" doesn't have the money.

They can't go to small film festivals in Europe to develop their market, and they can't even participate in some local film festivals in North America, because every film festival needs registration fees, and then the crew goes to the festival to publicize, and the fare, accommodation, meals, equipment and so on are all expenses.

Sundance is their only choice - in Park City, independent films enjoy certain privileges; At the same time, Sundance is also their only chance. If they can't find a suitable distributor here, then the production team will be in trouble. It's very likely that they won't even be able to go to the art theater. That means that the 250000 yuan investment will be wasted.

Maybe for those rich independent film companies, 250000 is still a loss. But for Drake doremus, he can't afford to lose.

So, after the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, lanli finished a series of short publicity about "buried alive", and then arrived in park city all the way, specially came here to participate in the Sundance Film Festival, contributing to the publicity of "crazy love".

However, before the official publicity, Langley has won precious time to return to his fan status and enjoy the good time of Sundance Film Festival.

In this small town, "muherland road" is more popular than "the king's speech", and the discussion of "social network" is not even as hot as "uninvited guests", "Inception" and "New York synecdoche". The former is always the loser; "Winter's bone", which flourished here last year, has been mentioned many times, but people are complaining that the mainstream market has not appreciated the excellence of this work at all

At the gate of the cinema, next to the street, at the gate of the coffee shop... In every public place, a small group of people may gather at any time and anywhere, standing together in twos and threes, discussing the feelings of watching the film. Sometimes, after a movie is shown, six or seven small teams may gather at the gate of the cinema to express their opinions. Passing fans will wander among different teams, looking for their like-minded partners.

No self introduction, no polite, the only way to communicate is their own views and opinions. This wonderful and unique way of making friends can be said to be the most beautiful scenery of Sundance Film Festival.

At this time, lanli was standing next to a small team. Instead of opening his mouth easily, he listened to them seriously to express their views, and then confirmed their ideas with each other.

"No, I don't think science fiction is the most important element. It discusses our attitude towards mistakes, which leads to our attitude towards life..."

"It's a science fiction movie! You say science fiction doesn't matter? So what's the most important thing? There is another Earth hanging in the sky. Can you just ignore it? "

What they are discussing is the film "another Earth", which has just finished showing. This low-cost science fiction work is born in an amazing manner. Almost everyone can't wait to express their views.

Different from Toronto, where every work is warmly sought after, and more or less influenced by film critics, in Sundance, everyone has his own unique ideas, right or wrong, profound or superficial, but it is certain that everyone is willing to express their own opinions and share their own opinions.

Seize the opportunity, blue Li began to cut into their conversation.

"There's something wrong with both of you. That's just the first meaning of the movie. The real idea hidden in the script is that in parallel space and parallel universe, different factors lead to different results, but the same person always makes the choice. "

Unconsciously, everyone listened to lanli's point of view.

"Well, when this person's ideology has changed, is his separation in different parallel spaces still the same person? In other words, it has split into a completely different personality? But if it is split, is parallel space still meaningful for discussion? Because another space is already a stranger, no longer ourselves. We can see that in the same world, in different countries or regions, another person with similar experience has made different choices. The concept of parallel space itself has lost its meaning. "

The discussion of the fierce exchange of fire suddenly came to a standstill because of Lan Li's words, and the abrupt silence seemed a little strange. Surprisingly, no one interrupted such a long speech. Everyone fell into their own thinking. It can be seen that they were searching for the loopholes in Lan Li's words and were ready to refute.

At the moment when science fiction movies are becoming more and more routine and typed, it is difficult to find a science fiction work with solid basic skills, excellent theory and surprise. Who would have thought that this year's Sundance Film Festival actually found treasure“ The emergence of "another Earth" is really exciting.

What's more, Brit Marling, the heroine of this work, is still one of the screenwriters. She has bright appearance, excellent acting skills and brilliant talents, which is definitely the biggest harvest of Sundance in the three days since its opening. Moreover, she is only 28 years old this year.

After watching the film, it was time for the big bang of ideas. The audience could not wait to start a discussion or even a dispute. Everyone was eager to express their opinions and exchange their ideas. All of a sudden, lanli threw a bomb, which made everyone savor and chew carefully and think again and again.

From another aspect, we can see that "another Earth" is indeed an excellent work worth pondering.

"So how do you define parallel space? You mean that everyone's personality is the same, so in the face of the same situation, we will still make the same choice. Does that mean that the results of different parallel spaces are the same? In this way, the meaning of parallel space does not exist. "

Abruptly, a voice was inserted next to it, but no one was surprised that it was a grand meeting for all to participate in the discussion.

The speaker is a "new person" who has just passed by. After stopping, he directly joined the discussion and cut into the topic, and then successfully attracted the attention of the public.

Blue Li followed the voice to see past, is a female audience.

Science fiction movies undoubtedly have a huge fan base, and there are many women in them. However, considering the huge base, women are still a small number. Therefore, among the otaku and geeks, a female audience will be immediately treated by the stars, and everyone will regard it as a rare treasure.

But at the moment, everyone fell into two people's debate topic, for a moment, no one even looked up and noticed the female audience. Typical geek, isn't it?

What surprised lanli was not the gender of the audience, but her identity.

Her skin is better than snow, long red hair and strong facial features. She is not the first beauty, but she has a kind of strong and sagacious spirit. Even some small freckles on the tip of her nose leave a deep impression on people. It's Jessica chastein!
