Movie Master

Chapter 78: A Blockbuster

Lance stood up and took steps towards the open space in front of the auditorium. The clouds behind him were becoming more and more fierce. With every step he took, they became more and more turbulent, and the thunderous applause remained the same. As the temperature continues to rise, the powerful momentum continues to rise, just like watching a wave rise slowly, from a height that will submerge the calf to a huge wave that is thirty stories high, forming a tsunami, smashing down hard .

Lance steadied himself in the front and turned to face the audience. At this moment, the applause reached its true apex. The raging applause kept echoing and colliding in the projection hall, like a boiling sea of ​​fire, burning endlessly. Stay away.

An indescribable emotion filled his chest, filling his entire chest to the brim, making it even difficult to breathe.

The hardships and struggles of shooting in the past six months flashed in my mind, just like the camera in A Pao's hand, the memory evolved into a frame-by-frame flash; the dullness and bitterness of the past life swirled gently on the tip of my tongue , the entanglement between him and Diorama Films, between him and Ryan, between him and George, turned into indescribable lights flickering on and off.

Lance knew that this time he would take his own destiny firmly into his hands, and he knew it better than anyone. But at this moment, the roaring applause in front of him clearly told Lance that he had successfully taken the first step!

So, Lance showed a bright smile, looked at the audience in front of him confidently and frankly, accepted the glory that belonged to him frankly, and began to relax and enjoy this moment that was completely his own. The calm gentleman's smile slowly bloomed in the milky yellow light, like a valley orchid, slowly blooming its own beauty, and the elegant and charming fragrance left a deep imprint in the mind, lingering.

The applause was endless, and it seemed that there would never be an end in sight. Twice, Lance thought the applause was going to stop, but then the cheers and whistles swept in again, and the applause continued again, even bursting out with more ferocious energy, and then set off endless waves. The blast of the wave.

The muscles of Lance's face were already stiff, and he had to call all the crew members of "City of God" to the front, so that the whole crew could accept the praise and compliments from the audience. When the audience saw the simple and simple crew in front of them, their admiration and admiration could not help but surge, and the fiery applause burst out again, like a volcanic eruption.

Due to limited funds, only eight members of the "City of God" came to Park City. Percy Bradley and Hayden Hunter attended as staff representatives, Alexander Rodriguez, Leonardo- The three children of Firmino and Philippe Hagensen, plus Matheus-Nachtergaele as the red hair and Seu-Jorge as the handsome Ned , a total of five people attended as actors' representatives.

But it's just an eight-person crew, each of whom is an unknown person, but they have completed the masterpiece "City of God". The magnificence and shock of the story, the profundity and vastness of the thought, the sharpness and aftertaste of the core... With an epic magnificence, it shocks the soul of every audience, but it only comes from such a simple crew. This is the charm of Sundance, this is the charm of Sundance!

The boiling applause made the crew members feel a little uncomfortable, even Percy and Hayden wanted to run away awkwardly, not to mention Alexander and other actors.

For them, being able to come to the United States to participate in the Sundance Film Festival is already the biggest breakthrough in life, but now they are not only standing on the land of Park City, not only on the stage of the cinema, but also in the Accepting the admiration and admiration of all, this surge of emotion makes each of them uncomfortable. Even Philip and Suo, who usually like to fight the most, stood still and looked at Lance frequently.

It may be a kind of enjoyment for others, but it is a kind of suffering for them.

Seven minutes, the applause really lasted for seven minutes, and it lasted for a long time! The mighty, vigorous, and continuous applause lasted for seven minutes. Almost everyone slapped their hands until they became numb and lost all intuition. Almost everyone's inner emotions had reached their peak. Applause That's when it started to fall back.

The Sundance Film Festival is considered to be a holy place for film lovers to exchange ideas. The audience who appear here can be called "fans" - movie fans, and the film creators who appear here also know that they will What will they face, they open their hearts to communicate with the audience, and they don't care about the wording at all, let alone the so-called hospitality.

In short, no audience is polite at Sundance. If you like it, you like it, and if you hate it, you hate it. Some audiences even stood up and scolded the director in the middle of the movie, not to mention the audience left halfway to express their disgust for the movie; Just walked away, as if he didn't even bother to express his disgust, it was just mediocre.

Many films are not recognized by applause at Sundance-if they can win applause from the audience, it means that the film has really been recognized by professional audiences. Of course, audiences have never been stingy about expressing their love for excellent works. They are willing to take off their hats, applaud and even worship, just for the pure paradise in their hearts that belongs to movies.

As for the prolonged applause? Then this work must have something unique, which can often arouse the exclamation of Hollywood professional film critics. For example, Steven Soderbergh's "Sex, Lies, Videotape", such as Quentin - Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs", such as Christopher Nolan's "Memento", or the Coen Brothers "Blood Maze".

Sundance has never been short of talent, and this year, Park City seems to have witnessed the birth of a talent, and it's a blockbuster.

The staff did not find the gap until this time, and hurried up, handing a microphone to Lance. Next is the most sought-after part of the Sundance Film Festival-one-on-one questioning and communication with the film production team.

Lance looked around and found that Sundance is self-sufficient in everything. In the three major European film festivals, there are hosts to control the atmosphere in the audience communication session, but at Sundance, everything needs to be done by yourself. Lance picked up the microphone and said with a chuckle, "From the situation just now, I seem to have done a good job as a director."

A small joke led to a few whistles, and a voice yelled, "That's fucking awesome!" and everyone in the room burst into laughter.

Lance nodded his chin with a smile, and added jokingly, "This is a good start." The lively tone made the laughter that had not yet calmed down again, "The next step should be the questioning session. I think..." Before Lance could finish his words, a piece of arm was raised at the scene, densely packed like a dense forest, Lance pursed his lips, "Because I didn't refer to my experience before, so I Not sure if it's a good sign or a bad sign, but I'll take it as a compliment."

Amidst the roar of laughter at the scene, Lance looked around. Not only the audience, but also many reporters and film critics raised their hands. He even saw Joel raising his hands high, sitting Ethan next to him smiled. This made Lance stunned, but he finally bypassed Joel and gave the first chance to ask a question to a middle-aged man sitting in the middle.

"Lancelot, good morning." The man took the microphone from the staff and said excitedly, "First of all, I must thank you for bringing such a wonderful work, believe me , I can’t even calm down now.” The man’s words elicited applause from the scene, and it was obvious that everyone was expressing their approval in this way.

The man scratched his head hehe, and then said, "I have a lot of questions in my mind, but the first thing that pops up is about A Pao." He pointed to Alexander who was standing next to him, and the young man suddenly became stiff Getting up, he looked at Lance at a loss, "I want to ask, why did Ah Pao choose the photo of the little bully instead of the dirty police/police when he published the news at the end? Is there any deep meaning in that?"

Alexander's English was obviously not good enough. He didn't realize that the question was for Lance, and he still stared at Lance intently. Lance seemed to have noticed this gaze, raised his left hand and patted Alexander's arm, and then answered directly, "Actually, this is a choice that anyone will face, isn't it?" He calmed down with a light pat, and regained his tranquility, but his eyes still did not leave Lance, but he began to listen quietly.

"A Pao is very aware of the situation he is facing, so we can understand it this way. A Pao chose a consequence that he can bear." Xiaobawang is dead, so naturally he will not trouble Pao, but the police are different. "This is in line with Ah Pao's personality, and it can be said to be an inevitable choice. But if you want to think about this issue out of Ah Pao's own individuality, then I think this is a very interesting proposition. Another kid in the city, what choice will he make; what choice will he make when placed in New York, Park City, another person in Berlin, and even, on yourselves... I think that maybe this is a topic that I hope to discuss in this movie."

Lance's words made all the audience in deep thought. In fact, Lance did not answer the audience's question directly, but his words awakened people's memory of many details of the movie in their minds, and then fell into deep thought. This is what Lance hopes to achieve, and it is also the charm of "City of God".

In this short period of silence, someone raised his right hand high, looking very abrupt, which immediately caught Lance's attention and looked over - it was Joel Cohen!
