Chapter 1684

In 2014, this is the 30th anniversary of the Sundance Film Festival. Unconsciously, the film festival founded by Robert Redford has become the holy land of countless independent films in the world, and has become the last hot spot for artistic creation. Its symbolic and practical significance are becoming more and more distinct.

It is true that after 30 years of development and precipitation, Sundance has gradually formed its own aesthetic style, and then produced a kind of "Sundance series" works. The edges and frames of those artistic creations are also limited. In a sense, this is the same as the development of the three major film festivals of oscca and Europe; But the reason why Sundance is Sundance is that it still maintains the freedom of artistic creation.

Every work appearing in Sundance has its own characteristics, which belongs to the style brand of the creator. Maybe it does not meet the favor standard of "Sundance series", can not win the recognition in the main competition unit, and can not fight all the way to the award season with the aura of Sundance; However, Sundance still provides a stage for self display, allowing various artistic creations to show themselves in a strange way, and then waiting for the appreciation of their peers.

This freedom is precisely the core idea that Sundance has always adhered to since its founding.

Sundance is not omnipotent, nor perfect, but Robert Redford has opened up a free space for artistic creation in the small valley of Park City, expecting that those sparks can ignite a revolutionary fire, so that the vitality of film art can continue.

This is the most valuable!

This year is the 30th birthday of the Sundance Film Festival. Robert Redford hopes to further promote the development of independent films and make a phased summary. Since the end of last year, Sundance has been quietly operating. He not only launched a film review exhibition with Cohen brothers, but also invited different guests to park city. During the Sundance Film Festival, Every day, two small-scale fan forums are held for exchange and discussion.

Langley hall is one of them.

Just by virtue of its name, the 30th Sundance Film Festival has repeatedly set a new historical record of the number of viewers, which really makes people feel its incomparable strong appeal in the whole North American market.

In addition to lenley, Robert and the Cohen brothers also invited star shining guests, including Ryan Gosling, Jessica chastan, Jack Gyllenhaal, Rooney Mara, Kerry Mulligan, Tom Holland and so on. Their attendance is more or less related to lenley.

In addition, there are Catherine Keener, Steve Soderberg, Sean pan, Jeff Nichols, David Lowery, Francis mcdormond and so on. Their attendance depends on the charisma of Robert and Cohen brothers.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of the whole Sundance activity. Robert has mobilized all his contacts in the industry, not only to pursue big brands and stars, but also to hope that truly talented creators in the independent film field can show up and communicate with other art creators, which will play a decisive role in promoting film creation.

Not only Robert, but also the Cohen brothers and Langley played an important role in the celebration.

All sides gather, all sides come to celebrate! This is definitely the best word to describe this year's Sundance Film Festival. Apart from Langley, there are too many focuses worthy of attention. Just three days after the opening of the film festival, the historical record of the number of people watching the film has been repeatedly refreshed. This is definitely not just the credit of Langley alone.

On the 30th anniversary, Robert hopes that this will be a turning point for the future development of Sundance and independent film.

It is worth mentioning that in this year's award season, Robert has attracted a lot of attention with his one-man movie "everything is lost", won the best actor nominations of several film critics' outposts, and then successfully ranked in the top five of the Golden Globe Award for best actor in the plot category, This work has the strength and standard to win Robert the best actor nomination for the second Oscar.

Although Robert Redford is a symbol of a generation in Hollywood - he is the peak of the first generation of blonde handsome men in the United States. The first version of "the Great Gatsby" was starred by Robert, and "tiger and leopard" and "male and female thieves" released two years ago jointly changed the whole Hollywood film history! Later, Brad Pitt's birth was completely based on Robert's template and route.

However, Robert's entire career has only won one Oscar nomination for best actor by virtue of "cheating in cheating" in 1973.

If "everything lost" can reach the second stage of the award season again, it will be a legend for Robert, and it is very hopeful to set a record of the longest interval between the first nomination and the second nomination; But Robert did not launch any college public relations activities in the award season, and devoted himself to the Sundance Film Festival.

When the Oscar nomination list was announced, "everything is lost" was out without any suspense.

This young blonde, who devoted his whole life to the film after becoming famous, has far exceeded the attraction brought by fame and fortune halo in his heart. This is a matter of real awe and the soul of Sundance Film Festival.

"Well, are you ready?" Without too much politeness and greeting, Joel went straight to the subject.

This afternoon, the fan forum hosted by Langley will be officially staged. In order to avoid the premiere of "pop drummer", Robert deliberately arranged the forum ahead of time, hoping that it will not make the discussion of "pop drummer" hot; This also makes the Sundance Film Festival just opened soon, immediately ushered in the first climax of Park City.

Blue Li slightly raised eyebrow tail, showing a surprised look, "still need special preparation? What should I do? I thought today was a simple question and answer session, and I didn't prepare any content. "

"Ha, ha, ha, very funny." Joel didn't buy it at all, but make complaints about it. "You just need to stand on the stage and share your performance experience and movie understanding. That's enough. Even if you don't have any preparation, you can easily control the whole court. In such public occasions, I haven't seen you panic. "

Ethan, sitting opposite, patiently explained, "don't worry. It's a sharing meeting. There's no need to prepare anything. We've arranged some simple links. You just need to follow the links. It's definitely easier than talk shows or press conferences. "

"After all, I didn't make any preparations. Now it's too late to make temporary preparations. I think... I can only improvise. I hope today's forum won't ruin my signboard." Lanli joked in a relaxed tone, and then looked at Rooney, "I'm going to attend the forum now, and you? Would you like to come with me? "

"Reporters must have gathered at the scene, and it is estimated that there will be no empty seats, so I will not go to join in the fun." Rooney said with a smile that she will attend the premiere of "pop drummer" in two days as a "friend". Today, there is no need to appear to create a topic. Reporters' keen sense of smell can not be underestimated. "I will continue to study here and enjoy a rare peaceful time."

Rooney held up the book on the table and blinked at Lan Li with a smile. She seemed to be complaining that the fight just interrupted her reading rhythm. Then, without waiting for Lan Li to refute, she turned to the Cohen brothers and nodded, "sorry, I won't disturb you today."

Naturally, the Cohen brothers didn't mind. After a few simple polite remarks, they got up and left.

Lanli stood up and gave a meaningful smile to Rooney. He didn't say anything and didn't have you. He just said "goodbye" and left the coffee shop with the Cohen brothers.

Lu Ni sat in the same place, so she didn't understand what Lan Li's smile meant. After seeing Lan Li's figure disappear, she still had no answer; Take back your eyes, and then you see the book opposite you, the book of lanli.

Before leaving, blue Lite estimated that the book was reversed, and the way to sit in Lu Ni was to open the way correctly. But sitting in the position of blue rite was wrong to open the way. It was obviously make complaints about Rouge's embarrassment and embarrassment secretly.

At this time, LUNI realized that her first reaction was to turn around and try to refute lanli. Then she realized that lanli's figure had already disappeared.

Lu Ni shakes her head helplessly and laughably. She sits in the same place. She doesn't know what she thinks of, and her smile rises slightly. At last, all of her smiles fall on her eyes. Then she drops her eyes, calms down again, and begins to read the books in her hand. Then she finds that her books are also reversed——

Just opposite the position of lanli and against the position of Rooney, it's just the opposite of lanli's books.

When on earth did Lan Li finish it secretly?

Rooney was really stunned. Sure enough, there is a big gap between them in terms of the number of pranks.

……

"It seems that you are in a very good mood, which is good news for the forum." Joel noticed lanli's brisk steps and couldn't help laughing.

Lan Li's smile was deeply reflected in his eyes. "It's a very happy thing to be able to communicate with other film lovers. Of course, it's worth being happy."

"I think you'll be more surprised when you arrive at the scene." Ethan added meaningfully.

Soon, lanli understood what Ethan's suggestion was about. Even if he was ready, his pupils were still slightly enlarged.
