Chapter 1075： Highly sought after
\"& If Hugo read Roger Ebert’s article about the Sundance Film Festival, about "The Male and Female Thief" and Hollywood once again facing a turning point, he would definitely be surprised that the underground bus is dislocated. No wonder Roger is Hollywood. One of the most authoritative film critics, his keen grasp of the entire industry is indeed superior.
According to the historical development trajectory, Hollywood movies did enter a period of rapid development in the 1990s, and entered the era of full-scale production explosion after "Titanic" in 1997. High investment and high return have become Hollywood's extreme development model. However, in the second half of the first decade of the 21st century, large-scale production has gradually begun to weaken, and high investment means high risks and huge losses.
After "Pulp Fiction" opened the stage for independent films, after a decade of gestation at the Sundance Film Festival, independent films started a stand-up battle in 2006. A "Little Sunshine Beauty (.. was released from Sundance. It was born out of emptiness and shocked the entire United States. The box office, awards, reputation and popularity have been harvested. Not only has the major Hollywood production companies flocked to Sundance to seek the next "Little Sundance", but also changed the large Hollywood production companies and The comparison of power between independent film production companies, Lionsgate’s strong rise to change the territory of Hollywood is one of the portrayal.
Therefore, Roger can almost be said to foresee the development trajectory of Hollywood in the next ten years.
Although Hugo did not read Roger's professional review, Roger's praise of "before sunrise" was widely circulated throughout the Sundance Film Festival and was widely recognized.
Since the Sundance Film Festival is not under the spotlight, the number of professional film critics is limited-most of the people who come to join in the fun are reporters who are responsible for reporting and not writing film reviews. Like Nicholas, although he writes film reviews, he is not. Fully professional, more is to rely on his perspective as a professional reporter in the circle to comment on the film.
After the premiere of "Before Sunrise" at Sundance, there were only eight reviews in the first batch, and the overall score was 8:4 out of 10. The main reason is that all the four media except the official publications have scored more than nine points, so they raised the average score in one fell swoop, surpassing the two competitors in one fell swoop, and currently ranks high among the Sundance films that have already been screened. The top position.
Among them, Roger's comments on the script have received a lot of recognition.
It must be admitted that before the landing on Sundance "Before Sunrise", people actually had a lot of doubts about Hugo's screenwriting skills.
Although Hugo has created countless brilliances in the past three years, whether it is acting or music, Hugo has handed in compelling answers. After the downturn of the Golden Raspberry Award, Hugo is like a phoenix nirvana. , Created an incredible miracle, and even changed the media's view, changing the original negative Matthew effect into a full of praise.
However, even the Matthew effect cannot make the media recognize Hugo's screenwriting ability. Even laymen know that screenwriters, actors, and bands are completely different types of work. This is not a skill that can be learned by analogy. Therefore, although most news media did not ridicule Hugo, they still generally believe that this is an attempt to play tickets.
Now, after "Before Sunrise" shines on the stage, everyone's eyes are blinded. People can't help but think of a weird thing: that is the name of Hugo in the list of screenwriters of "Shawshank's Redemption", and even let Hugo occupies a nominated seat at the Golden Globe Awards. What's more interesting is that after the "reminder" of "U.S. Weekly", people remember that Hugo's academic background is Yale.
In an instant, all doubts were answered.
"Lancaster uses this extreme way to show us the charm of the lines. When everyone ignores the true meaning of the dialogue, when Hollywood no longer pays attention to the lines, when the lines gradually become full of the frame of the story. In one of the fillings, he used lines as a framework, used lines to show depth, and used lines to outline the soul, telling everyone: even with lines only, he can create a classic masterpiece."
This brief comment comes from the "New Yorker" who has always been sharp-spoken. Unlike the "New York Times", the "New Yorker", as a "petty media" in the New York area, has always been very picky and sharp. They just stick to their positions. , Tell your own story and express your own opinions. Therefore, the "New Yorkers" have always paid much attention to the Sundance Film Festival. Although it is not continuous, they do not reject coming to Park City to dig out some works different from Hollywood.
This time, the "New Yorker" found "before sunrise".
Different from other media, the "New Yorker" almost focused all attention on the drama itself, although people are discussing the romantic beauty of the story, the true meaning of love presented in the movie, and the director Richard's outstanding control ability. , Discussing the chemistry of the two protagonists, discussing the wonderful performances of Hugo and Charlize... But the "New Yorker" stubbornly focused on the script.
"Every dialogue that appears in the movie is meaningful, and will echo before and after.
At the beginning of the movie, it started with a couple's quarrel, and the first topic of a man and a woman was about marriage, "When a couple reaches a certain age, they lose the ability to listen to each other." Then, this topic also became The controversy of the two people's discussions about love: should love guard the moment or hope for eternity? Where is the meaning of the moment, and does eternity really exist? Almost every discussion of their love can be traced back to the core of this source, which arouses fierce disputes.
At the same beginning, a woman once said, "I'm afraid of the consciousness a few seconds before death, you know that you are going to die." This seemingly random sentence also runs through, and love bursts from an instant to an eternal enjoyment. The process is faced with the fear of'eternity and death', and the mixed and tangled emotions of two people facing separation are a true portrayal of this sentence.
There are many such details throughout the film. Therefore, this film is suitable for everyone to calm down and watch repeatedly, and carefully savor the connotation and profound meaning brought by those lines.
Of course, the reason for the success of the film is that Lancaster did not use his lines to tell the truth. Although the film is full of esoteric topics such as philosophy, life and death, Lancaster is completely open to discussion. Everyone is welcome. An audience has a dialogue with the two protagonists, and the collision of ideas starts from the first second of the movie and continues for a long time after the end of the movie.
Therefore, watching a movie is a very interesting thing, not only the two protagonists are talking, but the audience is talking with them, and the audience is also talking with their lives. The reflection and aftertaste after the film is over is the biggest charm of the film. "
The "New Yorker" praised the film from a special perspective. In addition to film reviews, other reporters who flocked to Park City also praised "Before Sunrise". Most importantly, they focused on Hugo. The degree of attention brought by independent films.
The current Sundance Film Festival is very deserted. After a movie is released, it is absolutely rare that there will be media coverage in addition to the official show. But now, "Before Sunrise" has not only received concentrated attention in the official venue, but also double-digit media have reported on it. The number of reports has even exceeded the sum of all the works premiered in the previous two days, so the momentum is real. No one can beat it.
Some people even boldly predicted that "before sunrise" there is hope to compete for the Sundance Film Festival's jury award.
Different from the three major European film festivals, the awards of the Sundance Film Festival are relatively simple. The highest award is the Jury Award. In addition, the Jury Special Award, the Filmmaker's Trophy and the Audience Award will be awarded. But objectively speaking, looking at the entire Sundance Film Festival process, the jury award is the only focus.
This year’s Sundance is still quite lively, Tom Disiro’s "Kamella Rhapsody", Edward Burns’s "McMullen Brothers", James Mangold’s "Unspeakable Love" All of them are well received. Among them, Mangold has the highest achievement in the future. "Soul Girl(, interrupted, "Fatal id(, "Walk with Song (walk.the. are all his works.
In such a strong competition, it is indeed unexpected that the "before sunrise" like a cup of warm water has been so sought after. Of course, this is not lack of deliberate pursuit of the media. After all, most of the media are here for Hugo, and there is enough quality "before sunrise", they naturally don't mind praising it, so how much water is there in it? It needs to be decided by the jury of the festival Compared with the lively and busy Cannes Film Festival last year, Hugo's life at the Sundance Film Festival is relatively simple: because of the immaturity here, because The lack of media, because independent films are professional and uncomfortable, so Hugo has ended up clean. After the premiere of "Before Sunrise", Hugo only accepted an afternoon interview and the work was completed. Compared to the Cannes Film Festival, it was so much easier.
This allowed Hugo to spare time to feel the atmosphere of Sundance. In Cannes last year, Hugo didn't have much time to appreciate other people's works, but this time Sundance Hugo didn't want to miss it. Originally, Hugo was still a little hesitant. After all, the confinement storm a few days ago still left Hugo's heart lingering. Now after the premiere of "Before Sunrise", the residents of the city are showing signs of heating up again.
But Charlize still moved Hugo by saying, "Do you plan to change your life plan because of these fans?" In fact, many public figures have to change their private lives because of fans and media congestion. This is the last resort of public figures, the price that must be paid behind the glamour.
Hugo didn't want this. Of course, Hugo did not want to miss Sundance, the annual Sundance, so Hugo left the hotel and walked into Park City like an ordinary movie fan, and walked into this future independent film that will be famous all over the world. Festival. .
