Chapter 1730

The Sundance Film Festival is still in full swing. For independent films, it's an annual carnival. No one wants to miss it. Cheering all night, talking by candlelight, and enjoying it wantonly. In just 11 days, you can immerse yourself in the ocean of film world.

At the same time, under the lively scene of the fan party, there is a hidden tide.

Harvey Weinstein and Bob Weinstein frequently appear in every corner of Park City. On the surface, they seem to be no different from Sundance in the past years. Every year, the two brothers begin to prepare for the new year's award season from Sundance, and there is no exception this year; But slowly, slowly, rumors began to spread everywhere——

Originally, the "pop drummer" had the hope to participate in the Berlin Film Festival, but in the end, Langley chose the Sundance Film Festival. The main reason is that "for the sake of the Oscars", relying on the accumulation of public praise of "drunken folk songs" and the media promotion of "pop drummer", Langley created momentum for the publicity of Langley, and then added chips for the second stage of college public relations of "gravity".

If that's all, then rumors are just rumors, and their influence is limited after all. But at the same time, two things happened in Los Angeles and New York outside park city

One is that the reputation of "pop drummer" has risen rapidly, and the mainstream media in the industry has officially pushed Lan Li to the altar, believing that "he is an indispensable member of the contemporary top actors"; One is the internal statement of "Star Trek". Christopher Nolan's shooting progress was forced to speed up due to the relationship between lanli and the film, and finally he was killed a week earlier.

Things get interesting.

The former confirms the statement of "college public relations". It seems that everyone is endorsing lanli. The prospect of the "gravity" award season suddenly becomes clear, and the appeal for lanli's second film title has spread. Even Harvey Weinstein said at a private party, "lanli's strength is beyond doubt. You'll know it after watching the" pop drummer. ", He is worthy of the second golden man.

The latter shows the urgency of Langley. On the surface, Langley is absent from the college's public relations, but he adds chips for himself through Sundance. From the grand forum to the lively premiere ceremony, Langley, far away in Park City, has overshadowed Hollywood's stars. Without public relations, Langley is better than public relations. It has established public praise and won the hearts of the people. It can be said that two birds with one stone can kill two birds with one stone, Even oppressed the Star Trek crew.

All of them are proof of lanli's "cunning" and "overbearing". Even Harvey "has to" praise. It seems that the whole Hollywood has been popular. No one dares to stand up against lanli. If the Oscar does not award the film King's golden man to lanli, it's just like God's shame.

As a result, things become more subtle.

But Warner Brothers and gravity are in a dilemma. Originally, it was just hearsay, and there was no evidence to speak of. They solemnly explained it, but fell into the trap of their opponents, and it was easy to describe it more and more darkly; But let it go, the rumors are getting stronger and stronger, and the atmosphere is not right.

Warner brothers can only choose to keep a low profile.

At a private party, Emma Thomas jokingly mentioned when chatting with a friend, "it seems that Langley has surpassed Matthew McConaughey and become the biggest hit this year. In order to fight for the little golden man, all the nonsense has come out. I heard about the absurd anecdotes of the award season before, but I didn't expect that they would happen to me. "

Then, Emma Thomas took the opportunity to simply and casually clarify the untrue rumors about "Star Trek", and implied that such a way of describing the black competitors was too familiar. It seemed that it was the work of the Weinstein Brothers - not to solemnly explain, but to understate the clarification, and to simplify the negative impact of the matter as much as possible.

Now it's impossible to predict what impact these rumors will have on the second stage of college public relations. But it's certain that the Weinstein brothers once again showed their subtle interpretation of college public relations. Seemingly invisible, but actually sharp, they can always hit the nail on the head.

Although far away from the center of Los Angeles, the Weinstein brothers are still able to use their strength to make trouble; As for how the rumors inside the "Star Trek" crew came out, even Warner Bros. couldn't find out.

It can only be said that the timing is too clever.

However, in the face of such negative rumors, lanli never came forward to clarify, and even did not mention the private chat. It seemed that he had never heard of the general. He still went his own way and stayed in Park City heartlessly, enjoying the Carnival Party of Sundance Film Festival.

In this chamber, Langley and many friends, such as Rooney Mara, Ryan Gosling and Tom Holland, attended the forum with Katherine kina as the guest, and actively participated in the discussion; At that time, lenley and the Cohen brothers went to a small Documentary Exhibition and had an in-depth conversation with a number of documentary directors.

In this room, lenley watched a Somali movie "fishing without nets" with David Finch and Rooney Mara, and then had a heated discussion at dinner, which attracted other fans; Then, Langley, Noah Baumbach and Wes Anderson talked about a documentary "Fuchu" at a private party.

It can be seen from all aspects that Langley is enjoying the fan atmosphere of the Sundance Film Festival. He has actively watched many films, and enthusiastically and actively participated in the discussion. He looks like a fanatic fan, just like he used to attend the Berlin Film Festival, the triliuride Film Festival and the Toronto Film Festival, On the contrary, the rumors of the award season have nothing to do with him.

But it is undeniable that the figure of lanli also appeared in every corner of Park City, especially active.

Before the end of this year's Sundance Film Festival, Langley also organized a "round table" in his own name, allowing everyone interested to attend.

The so-called "round table meeting" should be more appropriately called bonfire meeting.

At the end of the street in Park Town, surrounded by three cliffs, there is a wide open space. Now it is covered with snow, but the official staff of Sundance cleared out a space. Then lenley invited a group of friends to come to the open space to light a bonfire and sit around to discuss the film works and performing arts, Especially this year's works just released in Sundance.

It's actually the star version of the official forum.

The biggest difference is that there is no online live broadcast and no live ticket restrictions. Every interested fan can come and leave at any time. At the same time, everyone is allowed to express their own views and opinions, including the creators of the film crew.

This unique "round table" pushed the atmosphere of Sundance to a climax.

According to incomplete statistics, the meeting lasted nearly six hours. Except for lanli and a few core members such as Rooney and Ryan, the other participants only participated in some of them, and their departure did not cause much sensation, because the on-site discussion was too warm and excited.

Before and after, more than 30000 audiences participated in the meeting, and more than 3000 of them stayed around the campfire. The bustling discussion has evolved into a group debate. All the audience and guests are allowed to "flow", change their positions anytime and anywhere, and choose the films and topics they are interested in.

This round table meeting, which seems to be a bit of a farce, has become the highlight of the 30th anniversary of the Sundance Film Festival. It is not because of the gathering of stars, but because of the close communication, which has broken the shackles of stage and lighting, also broken the barriers of creators and audiences, and really turned the film festival into a party, So that every film enthusiast can exchange ideas on an equal footing.

Even Robert Redford personally appeared at the scene and said, "if it wasn't for Langley, it would never have happened."

You have a good plan. I have a wall ladder.

The Weinstein brothers make frequent small moves and make full use of the current situation by winning and killing tactics, creating an alternative tide of opposition against lanli; At the same time, it doesn't need too much strength to make Warner Brothers suffer a dumb loss. But this is just the beginning of the second phase of the award season.

But Harvey ignored a small detail, the "Star Trek" crew rumors are not released by them. However, he didn't care, because the appearance of this rumor is beneficial to them, and the source of information is not important. Anyway, are there few people in Hollywood who are against Langley now?

Absolutely no one remembers that the news first came from a big party held by Andre, which seemed to spread overnight.

Andre was not surprised.

Andre clearly knows that whether the rumor is related to Thomas tour, the Weinstein brothers will not care, and other opponents in Hollywood will not care, even Andre himself does not need to care, because the key point of the whole thing is: Kevin hirohara's idea, if he believes that it is related to tour, then Andre's goal will be achieved.

Whether Kevin tohara believes it or not, and whether he is willing to believe it, is the essence. As for the evidence, these things are just hearsay. There is no evidence at all.

Compared with the active Weinstein brothers, Langley is also running around. In sharp contrast to Los Angeles and the mainstream social network media, Langley's reputation is rising in the small town of Park City. Both independent film creators and senior film lovers have established deep fetters with Langley.

As for the award season?

It seems that lanli has never paid attention to it. Compared with the brilliant moment brought by a little golden man, it is eternal to discuss the good time of the film.
