Chapter 1054: Bitter like spring

How unpopular is the Sundance Film Festival? This is a very serious question. You can use a set of simple data from the tenth anniversary of Sundance last year to make an intuitive analysis.

After all the works that were shortlisted for screening in the 19qj Film Festival were included, there were only 33. It is said that there were only more than 50 entries. At that time, there were 37 reporters who arrived in Park City to report on the 10th anniversary of Sundance. Name one, this is because of the 10th anniversary, Robert Redford specially invited some reporters; and after the end of the film festival, forty-nine media in the United States carried out reports, of which there is only one national newspaper in the United States. "The New York Times", there were less than 60 news reports before and after, which means that only eleven media have carried out more than one news report or follow-up report.

Such attention is not even comparable to the premiere of a movie.

The same data on the Golden Globe Awards can be magnified by at least ten times or even more. There are already more than 100 reporters standing on both sides of the Red Carpet of the Golden Globe Awards. This does not count the infield and backstage performances. The media interviewed, not to mention the KTV station that conducts live broadcasts.

Therefore, the Sundance Film Festival is indeed something that no one cares about. Even though "Pulp Fiction" rose strongly at the end of 19, the Sundance Film Festival, which was lifted in early 1995, still did not receive any reporters' willingness. Application for interviews. Therefore, the official organization of the organizing committee did not arrange for reporters to contact, arrange for reporters’ itinerary and other related matters.

But who could have predicted that Hugo rejected the Golden Globes and chose Sundance. After this decision was promoted, it immediately became the headline.

Kayla Keer did not expect Hugo to choose Sundance at all, which can be said to be almost all media views.

Although it is said that there is ¨Pulp fiction "before", although it is said that there is ¨before sunrise", although the important inspiration of Hugo to independent movies has been talked about by countless media, this idea has not really entered people. In his mind, so when there are similar choices like Sundance and the Golden Globes, people almost take it for granted that they should choose the latter.

What's more, this is not a random Golden Globe Award. Based on various circumstances, it is very likely that Hugo will win his first Golden Globe trophy. People have not considered whether Hugo will attend this event one by one. Isn't it a matter of course? The major media have risen early to discuss the issue of Hugo's chances of winning the prize.

But now, Hugo directly poured cold water and told all the media: I am not going to the Golden Globes, I am going to Sundance

At this moment, it caused an uproar. Immediately afterwards, it triggered a chain effect, which everyone did not expect. Although the Golden Globes are so attractive, it can be said that no one of the media is willing to miss this event; but the appeal of Hugo is also not to be underestimated.

First of all, after Hugo set off an independent film frenzy with "Pulp Fiction", this time he took it a step further and brought everyone’s attention to the Sundance Film Festival. This is an independent film paradise, so independent films have experienced 19ql. After the sudden emergence of the army in 1995, what will it do in 1995? Maybe, Sundance will give some clues

"Before sunrise" is also full of topics. Whether it’s Hugo’s screenwriter debut or the collaboration between Hugo and Charlize, this work is full of appeal. People can’t help being curious about Hugo as a screenwriter. What kind of works will be dedicated, and at the same time I am more curious about what sparks Hugo and Charlize will create.

There is another point that should not be ignored. Although there was a tough confrontation between Hugo and reporters at the end of last year, this hot spot lasted for a long time and became the biggest highlight in the closing stage of 19ql; but since the "bath of morning light" After the album was promoted, Hugo has not formally appeared in front of the media for more than four months, and this time the Sundance Film Festival is an opportunity for media reporters to harass Hugo in a fair manner. "Before coming out," it is also necessary to deal with reporters. This is a once-in-a-lifetime occasion. The reporters originally expected this occasion to be the Golden Globe awards ceremony. Now it has been replaced by Sundance, which is equally attractive.

As a result, following Nicholas McLean, a huge lineup of more than forty reporters arrived in Park City before and after. The number of this reporter group even exceeded the number of Sundance's original official media reporters, just like a spring. The warm tides invaded Park City, which was shrouded in bitter winters.

¨So, you mean Hugo is already in Park City? "Kayla almost couldn't bear her excitement and shouted excitedly. For independent film lovers, Hugo has a special meaning, maybe not everyone likes ¨Pulp fiction", maybe not everyone I like Hugo, but there is no doubt that Hugo has allowed the whole Hollywood to witness the outstandingness of independent films, and it is very amazing.

It’s as if the Nirvana Band was born in 19, whether people like Nirvana’s music is aside for the time being, but the Nirvana Band did re-substitute rock and roll into the mainstream market, allowing people to refocus their attention on rock and roll. "Don’t mind" the excellent results of this album attracted more curious eyes. Whether people like it or not, at least it makes the whole mainstream public pay more attention to the rock body that has been silent for more than ten years, forming a virtuous circle. After that, it further aroused people's interest in other rock music besides grunge rock, and other rock bands besides Nirvana.

Therefore, although the influence of Pearl Sauce is comparable to that of Nigo, and the sales of Pearl Sauce’s albums even exceed "Don't mind", when people judge the history of rock music, Nigo's historical status is clearly much higher than that of Nigo. Pearl sauce. The significance lies in the first shot

Now the important meaning of "Pulp Fiction" lies in this, and Hugo is the soul of the whole movie-not even inferior to Quentin Tarantino's role, because Hugo not only gives the movie the core, but also drives the movie. pay attention to.

Therefore, Keira clearly knows what it means for Hugo to appear in Park City, first "Pulp Fiction" and then Sundance. Hugo has already brought enough attention to the rise of independent films, and then independent films. What heights the development will reach depends on the efforts of these independent films themselves. It is as if the rise of the Nigo band paved the way for the explosion of new metal rock.

¨If I guessed correctly, yes, it is like this. "Nicholas also felt the vitality of the young girl in front of her, and her tone became relaxed. ¨ Don't you know about this? I thought you were a loyal movie fan, so I came here to ask you about this film festival. Some opinions, I want to know more about Sundance. To be honest, I don’t know anything about this film festival except Robert Redford."

Although Kayla already liked Hugo very much before, Kayla worships Hugo today because Hugo was able to choose Sundance under the current conditions of the Golden Globes, which is indescribable. She is wise and calm, which makes her have to admire her heart.

¨No, I am indeed a loyal fan of Sundance, but I have been here for the past two days, but I haven’t found any movie publications, nor have I searched for relevant information in the official announcement column, so I’m not sure about the screenings in the next few days. arrange. "Kayla explained incoherently, that excited tone showed the turbulence in her heart.

Although the Sundance Film Festival has passed its first ten years, many supporting facilities have not kept up. It is far less complete and comprehensive than the three major European film festivals. This is also comparable to the production cards of many independent films. It is not easy for both the company and the lineup to find a relationship to investigate. After all, it is the 90s when there is no internet.

¨So, when did Hugo come to Park City? Also, when will his movie be released? Why didn't the organizing committee arrange an official press conference? "Kayla expressed her excitement with a series of questions.

Nicholas couldn't help but laughed, ¨This is what I tried to discover. "

¨Oh, oh" Kayla just remembered. Just now Nicholas came to ask her about the film festival. She proactively said, "Come with me. The festival’s organizing committee does not have an official venue, but there is It’s just an office where we can find all the relevant information about the film festival."

Kayla greeted enthusiastically. It was completely different from the vigilant and guarded situation just now. If you want to inquire about the schedule of movie screenings every day, you can go to the entrance of the movie screening venue to check it. It will be updated at 6 o'clock every morning. "

Nicholas followed Kayla through the plain and simple streets of the small town of Park City. Although it was a similar winter scenery, the temperature seemed to rise due to the laughter of Kayla. It's getting warmer. On the way, the pedestrians passing by seemed to know Kayla. Everyone greeted Kayla, and Kayla responded excitedly and told everyone aloud, ¨Hugo has come to Park City."

Almost everyone heard the news, the first reaction was cheers, and the second reaction was to follow Kayla’s sight and cast a gaze at Nicholas for verification. This made Nicholas very interesting: it seemed to be silent. Among them, Hugo has become a symbol. For rock and roll, it is a symbol of the new era of innovation and extension, and for movies, it is a symbol of innovation and innovation in independent films. Hugo seems to embodied the expectations of countless people. .

After Nicholas nodded and gave an affirmative answer, it would immediately arouse the second round of cheers.

In this way, Nicholas and Kayla walked towards the office of the organizing committee together, but the snowy streets of the small town were no longer cold, as if the whole town had awakened, and every corner could clearly feel that. The heat and excitement, even if the bitter cold wind keeps blowing onwards, it still gives people the illusion that spring is coming.

This feeling is very subtle. ……).
