Harvey's face was filled with a big smile, and his small eyes narrowed into a slit. All his looks and thoughts were hidden in the smile.
Standing beside him, it was Bob Weinstein.
But Bob's eyes widened, with a gentle smile on his mouth. He didn't hide his look of looking up and down, with a trace of fun, a trace of humor, and a trace of accident. Langley didn't know how Harvey described himself to Bob, but obviously, it must be very rich.
"So this is the famous Bob?" In the face of Harvey's ridicule, lanli also hit back with the same ridicule.
However, Bob does not seem to be satisfied with such a response. Under Harvey's introduction, the two shook hands. Bob seemed very perfunctory. He just touched and then relaxed. The light examination and contempt between words and deeds is like a short sharp thorn, which is insignificant but sharp enough.
"It seems that this time in Park City, you are the real big winner." When Harvey talks, his eyes fall on Jessica, but a simple sentence contains too many meanings, banter and irony.
"Really?" Lanli's eyebrow tail gently raised, and there was more fun in his eyes. "I always thought that Weinstein's philosophy was that the winner was the one who laughs to the end." This is a satire of Harvey's desperation in order to win and his means in order to benefit.
Harvey laughed more brightly, his eyes almost disappeared, "fact, fact." Repeated the same word several times in a row, and then patted Bob on the shoulder, "today's young people, really full of impact, it seems that we must be fully prepared."
Bob gave a dry smile, but there was not much respect in his eyes.
After seeing off Harvey and Bob, Jessica looked at lanli up and down, left and right. The sight of exploration made lanli helplessly spread her hands. She said half jokingly, "I heard that you have offended these two brothers, but I'm not sure. Now it seems to be true. What's going on between you? "
"I'm just an actor and I'm not qualified to offend their two brothers." Having said that, lanli didn't mean to belittle herself. On the contrary, her smile kept calm and calm, which made Jessica smile clearly, and then nodded, "their hair is thicker than our thigh."
"Are you sure it's a compliment?" Lanli frowned, a puzzled expression on his face, which made Jessica pursed her mouth, revealing an enigmatic expression.
Entering the screening hall, Langley and Jessica separated because their seats were in different directions.
Compared with the Oscars and the Golden Globes, the closing ceremony and the award ceremony of the Sundance Film Festival are a little shabby, even shabby. The main venue is just the previous screening hall. The chairs are still the regular theater chairs, not wrapped with red cushions, and not deliberately decorated. Everything continues the previous simple style.
It is not so much an award ceremony as a summing up meeting of the closing ceremony. There are no performances or media interviews. The organizers will express their affirmation of the brilliant works and filmmakers in a simple and warm way.
There are many awards in Sundance Film Festival, including Audience Award, jury award, Special Jury Award and director award. Each department will be divided into two parts: documentary and feature film; This year, due to the increase in the number of films exhibited worldwide, the government has added two units at the bottom of each section, namely, world film unit documentary and world film unit feature film.
Many awards and departments are really dazzling. However, the awards that truly represent the annual Sundance Film Festival are still the Grand Prix of the jury, equivalent to the Palme d'Or in Cannes, the Golden Bear in Berlin and the golden lion in Venice.
There is no doubt that this is the top priority of every year.
Lanli found the members of the "crazy love" crew in the crowd. Everyone's face was filled with excitement. This year's trip to Sundance was really dreamy for the "crazy love" crew. It was not only well received, but also confirmed the publisher before the closing ceremony. Things went smoothly, far beyond imagination.
After everyone was seated, the award ceremony began. There was no opening ceremony. Just a host came onto the stage and gave a simple thank-you, and the award guests came on stage.
The audience award was first announced, just like the people's Choice Award in Toronto. The audience award was also voted by the audience, which can be regarded as a popular award.
This year's Sundance is a little dull on the whole, but there are still a lot of topic works, such as "eternal chariot", "Nim plan", "return from hell" and so on in the documentary, and "double Martha", "Tyrannosaurus Rex", "another Earth", "crazy love" and so on in the feature film, which are very popular and highly recognized.
However, the list of winners of the audience award was out of the blue. The "crazy love" which was finally set in 15 shows was lost to the "family environment" which was shot in the United States and focused on Iranian life, causing a lot of consternation.
Audience awards and jury selection are two systems, that is to say, the same work can be obtained in these two parts at the same time, which is not in conflict. Judging from the audience reaction in the past few days, almost everyone thinks that the feature film unit that "love crazy" won the audience award has no suspense, and the result is really shocking.
Even the "family environment" crew was shocked and couldn't believe it.
Langley turned his head and saw Drake look disappointed. His shoulders drooped heavily without any cover.
Unlike the Golden Globes, in the Sundance awards ceremony, because there is no live camera, no one needs to hide their emotions, and no one needs to show that they don't care at all. What's more, there are all unruly independent filmmakers here. They can show their true feelings - who knows if these independent filmmakers will show up next year?
For Drake, the best chance for "crazy love" is actually in the audience awards, especially in the past few days when he has been highly sought after and the hope of winning the award has soared. Comparatively speaking, among the jury's choices, "double faced Martha", "Tyrannosaurus Rex", "asylum seeking" and other works with more social depth have greater opportunities.
But did not expect, the opening missed the Audience Award, Drake is naturally hard to hide disappointment.
With a long breath, Drake perked up and applauded for the family environment crew. Because Drake knows better than anyone how difficult it is for independent filmmakers to move forward. To be able to shine on a stage like Sundance is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of their hard work and boring dream.
Later, Drake noticed the concern on himself. As soon as he turned his head, he saw that the four actors of the cast all looked over. Such a neat and uniform action really had an inexplicable joy, which made Drake couldn't help laughing.
Lan Li and others exchanged a line of sight, but they couldn't help smiling. Then they took back their line of sight and gave their applause.
The director's awards for the world unit are respectively assigned to "Nim project" and "Tyrannosaurus Rex", while the documentary Department of the local unit is missing, and the feature film department is won by Sean Durkin of "double Martha".
"Double Martha" is also very popular in Sundance this year. It is not only the first work of director Sean, but also the first work of heroine Elizabeth Olsen. However, it has been affirmed by many film critics.
Especially Elizabeth's performance, she presents the cult fanaticism and collapse of the state of bewilderment. Her free performance won a lot of applause. The youngest sister of Olson family, Hollywood has a bright future. It's worth mentioning that she is the same age as Langley.
Next came the jury's special award.
The jury special award is a major feature of Sundance. Corresponding to the jury award, the special award is awarded to "the most special link".
For example, 2007's "Fengfan" won the award for its dramatic changes in physiology and psychology, 2008's "America everywhere" won the award for its unique and independent spirit, and 2009's "zhenai" won the award for its wonderful performance.
In addition, sound effects, photography, scripts, casting, original perspective, bold selection and so on are all within the scope of awards. In other words, this is the award set up by Sundance to encourage independent filmmakers and encourage every aspect of film production. Of course, the film itself, the director, the producer, the performance and so on are also included.
If the award is to reward the integrity and completion of the whole work, then the special award is to reward the work of a certain link. Or, if the film is very good but not good enough to win the grand prize, a special award will be awarded.
For independent filmmakers, the special award is even more important than the grand prize. After all, the awards appreciate the integrity of the work, while the special awards appreciate more independent individuals. This also means that the special award is the most competitive department in Sundance, and every guest present may become the winner.
The award winner is mark Ruffalo, an actor who later became popular all over the world because of the Hulk. He has been very active in independent films before he came into the public eye. Recently, he has become a popular candidate for best supporting actor in the Oscar for his excellent performance in "children are very good".
Mark attended Sundance last year with his director's debut "pity for delicious" and actor's work "children are very good". He was warmly welcomed, so he returned as an award winner this year.
After stepping onto the stage, mark took the lead in presenting two awards for the world unit, which respectively belong to "another Earth" and "eternal car God". Subsequently, two awards for the local unit were announced successively. The winner of the documentary department was "becoming IMO: the journey of a puppet", while the winner of the feature film department was "becoming IMO"——
"Raleigh hall, love is crazy."
