Everybody, everybody.
The steps at the gate of the film venue are packed with people. The crowd is full of people. They are spreading out in the sight. In the snow and the cold, they outline a thick color of ink, which is like splashing ink. It is simple but spectacular.
Originally, people stood quietly in place, gathered in twos and threes, humming in the air, the piercing cold air dancing wildly on the surface of the skin, many people were forced to stomp or rub their hands for warmth, trying to dispel the cold confinement and restraint.
Nevertheless, the excitement and excitement that twinkled on those faces were not affected at all.
The crowd in the sight has different styles and different attitudes. There are young people in neat clothes and suits, whose vigor and vitality flow out from every move, and they still hold a good expectation for the future; There are also middle-aged people who are in a mess and look vicissitudes. After struggling in the Vanity Fair of Hollywood, they are still in the predicament and embarrassment of unknown origin. They try to hide, but they are still in the dirty collar and wrinkled coat.
There are also veteran youths who have gone through trials and hardships and are familiar with the world. Although they lack talent and are unable to make achievements in artistic creation, they still rely on their own hard work and hope to occupy a place in the field of film. They turn around and tell those laymen their "brilliant deeds" and look for their sense of existence in the eyes of admiration and exclamation, The little halo stolen from Hollywood seems insignificant, but it is the whole light of their life.
But at this moment, no matter what clothes they wear, no matter what age and class they are, no matter what status they are in, their eyes are all shining with similar brilliance. The enthusiasm between their eyebrows and dancing is bubbling up like this. They can feel the pure happiness and happiness from movies, dreams and friends, It also comes from life.
That's why Langley loves the festival so much.
Here, all the additional labels are removed, and at last, I only keep my identity as a "fan". I open my arms, open my arms, wander in the image world constructed by film, peep into another world behind the true and illusory camera screen, and forget everything in my real life for a short time.
Even if it's cold outside, it still can't stop their enthusiasm.
When the first eye noticed the appearance of the blue Li and the Cohen brothers, the buzzing voices came down one after another, which had a magical infection effect. Then we could see the crowd converging towards the blue Li and others, just like a magnet attracting pins. Hula, in a flash, the whole crowd swarmed together, The order of the scene suddenly became hot and crazy, which makes people think of the erupting volcano.
"Lan Li, I really like your performance in 'drunken folk songs', which makes me go back to the ballad era in the 1960s, you know? It was a wonderful and turbulent time, wasn't it? "
"Lanli, as far as you are concerned, do you prefer the performance of" detachment "or" me who is anti-cancer ". I've watched the movie cancer fighting me over and over again, and I think people underestimate your performance. In the lens, it seems that you can really feel the pain of cancer. This kind of performance reminds me of the despair and struggle in "detachment". What do you think of it? "
"Master, master! After watching gravity, I realized for the first time that the chemical reaction between the performance and the camera can reach such a level. Do you think it is more possible to use 3D technology to present a three-dimensional space and show the emotional level of the protagonist in a three-dimensional way? "
put questions to. put questions to. It's still a question.
All the questions that linger in lanli's ears are professional questions, not simply shouting or screaming, but questions of substance. It is obvious that many film creators are on the scene today. Whether they are professional or amateur, at least they have their own views on film production. As for whether it is correct or not, it varies from person to person.
Just this professional gesture can show the profound foundation of Sundance. Although it has only been held for 30 years, the insight and ability of the participants are not inferior to those of the three major European film festivals. In a way, that's Robert Redford's pride and confidence.
But obviously, this is not the best place to answer questions. Next is the face-to-face exchange forum. They can sit in the warm indoor environment and communicate slowly.
Just like sailing against the current, Lan Li and his party slowly passed through the surging crowd, rowed out an arrow shaped white wave, and walked all the way towards the projection hall in front of them.
"Lan Li."
When they came to the front of the steps and stood at the front door of the cinema, a figure squeezed out of the crowd and crossed the road of lanli's progress. Because it was too turbulent and too crowded, his steps were almost unsteady and shaky at any time, But his face is still shining with a bright and confident smile, like the golden sun tearing the winter cold, falling down.
"I want to follow in your footsteps and become an actor, a real actor! You know what? Sitting in the cinema and watching your performances, 'gravity' and 'drunken folk songs' is really a kind of enjoyment and a kind of shock! I can really feel the soul baptism hidden in the performance, you are a great actor! I want to be an actor like you. "
In the midst of the uproar, the self-confident and vigorous words with young people's wanton and publicity, it seems that any difficulties and obstacles can not stop their pace, the whole world is showing in front of their own eyes, with the beautiful ivory tower and the happiness of fairy tales, looking forward to their own future.
Perhaps pessimists will say that this is too naive and too simple. The cruelty of society will soon extinguish those hopes; However, Lan Li is more willing to say that he hopes that the momentum that he is not afraid of can persist and break out of his own world. Even if he is broken and bleeding, he should not give up easily.
Because in the time flies, the vicissitudes of life, the far shore of life, we will miss that once believed that with both hands can change the world, with both feet can explore the world of their own, but... Youth is so short, fleeting, has not had time to bloom wantonly withered.
"Thank you." Lanli's thoughts were too turbulent. In front of the young man, he saw what he had been. After his rebirth, he cherished infinite hope. The smile on the corner of his mouth rose gently. However, before lanli could continue to say anything, the busy crowd would swallow up the young man again, gradually away, and disappear in the crowd.
I want to be an actor like you.
That sentence reverberated in my mind again. After a careful review of this sentence, Lan Li could not help feeling a little elated, just like thousands of butterflies flapping their wings in the belly. His excited and excited interest made his feet step on the cloud, and his chest filled with happiness.
Unconsciously, he has become someone's role model.
Just like "Truman's world", Steven Spielberg and Marlon Brando to him, they guide him step by step to the path of actor, find his own dream in the world of film, also bloom his own color, his life finally blooms like summer flowers.
Now, he has become a lighthouse on the dark sea.
This kind of feeling is really subtle and strange. A sense of satisfaction arises spontaneously, which makes the steps lighter and the shoulders heavier. At this time and here, Langley finally feels the persistence of Robert and Cohen brothers and the significance of Sundance Film Festival.
It's definitely not just a film festival, it's not just a gathering place for film lovers. It's also a land where art creators can breathe freely and run wildly. In this snow covered soil, Sundance sows seeds, and then quietly waits for spring to come, and those artistic ideas can take root, Finally, it grows into a dense and robust forest.
The surging crowd pushed lanli forward passively. Then he entered the indoor space of the cinema, and the crowd and noise around him gradually faded away.
"Wow At this time, lanli was able to express his own sigh. Looking back at the crowd outside the door, he could not help shaking his head to express his disbelief. "I thought the forum was only about 200 people at most, but obviously I underestimated the appeal of Sundance in the field of independent film."
It's not self abasement, but the objective fact is that Langley is not a famous person or master - he's too young, it's not a fan meeting or a press conference - the number of participants can't be calculated according to the normal rules, and he's just an actor - he's not a director or producer involved in film creation. In lanli's opinion, it is very grand to accommodate 200 people, and even need to worry about whether it can be filled.
Hearing these words, Joel and Ethan exchanged a sight, with meaningful smiles on their faces.
Blue Li noticed such a small action, slightly frowned, "what's the matter?"
Joel took the initiative to say, "these people at the gate have not been able to line up to enter the venue. Since 8 am today, there has been a long line at the gate of the venue. They just want to attend your forum. Haven't you noticed?"
"I thought it was the line for the premiere of the night sleepers..." lanli said subconsciously, and then the words were cut off, looking at Joel and Ethan in disbelief.
Ethan nodded. "Yes, the idea in your mind is right now. It really happened
