I'm a movie star on earth

Chapter 191 Sundance Film Festival
On January 2014, 1, the 16th Sundance Film Festival, the most important award for independent films in North America, was officially held in Park City, Utah.Sundance Film Festival, also known as "Sundance Film Festival", is specially designed for independent filmmakers and is the world's leading independent film festival.

The Sundance Film Festival was founded by Robert Redford in 1984 and is organized by the Sundance Institute, which consists of 25 members.The Sundance Film Festival is held in Park City, Utah, USA in mid-January every year for 11 days.

After years of accumulation, this small American film festival has become an important spiritual pillar of the independent film industry, and many emerging Hollywood directors regard it as a springboard for directing mainstream commercial blockbusters.

And the major Hollywood production companies are looking for new talents, and the "Sundance Film Festival" is a pool of human resources not to be missed.

Directed by Damien Chazelle and starring Li Hyuk, "Burst Drummer" has undoubtedly become the biggest award-winning favorite of this film festival.

In a screening that just ended, "Burst Drummer" received a huge response. When the film ended, there was thunderous applause at the scene, and the thunderous applause lasted for 5 minutes.

The creators had to take the stage three times in a row for a curtain call, and at the end of the screening, many independent producers approached director Damien Chazelle to congratulate him on his success.

"Damien, I saw a very good movie."

"thanks……"

"Are you interested in handing over the film to us for distribution by Lionsgate, I promise..."

"No, Doug, Warner Bros. has already confirmed the release of this film."

"That's a pity. I hope to have the opportunity to continue to cooperate in the future. This is my business card."

After bidding farewell to Lionsgate Films, Damien has successively dealt with a large number of well-known second-tier Hollywood film companies such as Weinstein Films, Touchstone Films, and New Line Films.Even Paramount and Universal Pictures, one of the traditional six giants, came to the door, which made Damien Chazelle a little smug, seeing that the girls at the party tonight were all extraordinarily glamorous.

"Burst Drummer" became an instant hit at the Sundance Film Festival and caused a lot of repercussions. There are many media reporters in China who pay attention to this film festival, and "Jingcheng Daily" is one of them.

As Li He's loyal supporter, "Beijing Daily" has always taken a firm stand on Li He's side, even more active than Li He's hometown media.As a media with great influence, "Jingcheng Daily" has a wide range of concerns.

On this day, a editor in the editorial department who usually writes entertainment news was watching the list of films for this year's Sundance Film Festival, and Li Hyuk's name was on the list of starring roles in "Burst Drummer".

"This, this is?" The editor couldn't believe it, "Could it be that Li Hyuk?"

The matter is of great importance, so the editor hurriedly found the editor-in-chief and showed him the list.The editor-in-chief saw that it was indeed Li Hyuk's name, and quickly asked, "Do you have any still photos?"

The editor shook his head and said, "No, the counterparts in North America haven't sent it yet."

The editor-in-chief paced back and forth: "The Sundance Film Festival doesn't get a lot of attention, and it usually relies on the media resources provided by colleagues over there. The news over there comes to us four or five days later. This time it's different. In this way, Xiao Wang, you are going to go on a business trip to the United States immediately to report on this matter."

"But the editor-in-chief, isn't the foreign news followed up by the International Affairs Department?" the editor said.

"It'll be too late for them. I'll apply at the top. You should prepare quickly, book the nearest flight, and get reimbursed by the newspaper." The editor-in-chief made a prompt decision.

Traveling at public expense has always been Xiao Wang's dream. Given this rare opportunity, Xiao Wang quickly agreed: "It's the editor-in-chief, and I promise to complete the task."

"Go, go..." The editor-in-chief waved his hand, then picked up his mobile phone, called the leader of the newspaper office, and applied for resources.

It is not surprising that the "Jingcheng Daily" has such a reaction. It is really a general trend of xenophobia caused by the environment, cultural lack of self-confidence, and extreme respect for foreign cultures. This phenomenon is even more obvious in the cultural circles.At this time, it was reported that Li Hyuk was starring in Hollywood and acted in a movie, and the effect in China can be imagined.

Li Hyuk was shooting a movie in Hollywood for a while last year, but it was rumored that he had played a small role in Nolan's new movie, but he had never heard of an independent movie.

What's more, this is the leading role. Since Cheng Long, there has never been a Chinese leading role in Hollywood. This is undoubtedly an explosive news for Li Hyuk.No matter what the results of "Burst Drummer" will be in the future, Li Hyuk's reputation as an international superstar will not be lost, even more worthy of the name than many international superstars.

The editor of "Beijing Daily" is called Wang Jinjin, a very vulgar name, but he is not vulgar at all, wearing a hip-hop outfit, he does not look like a media worker at all.

By this time he had arrived in Park City, Utah, and with the help of his colleagues in North America, he obtained a permit to interview.

"Wang, let me take you to the hotel to rest first, you must be exhausted after such a long journey."

"No, Daisy, just take me to the place where the film festival is held, I can't wait."

"You Huaxia people are really capable. Well, I'll take you to the film festival first. It's very lively there."

Coming to the venue of the film festival, it is indeed the most important award of the independent film festival. The lively atmosphere dazzled Wang Jinjin, but he did not forget the mission of this trip, and asked Daisy: "The venue of "Burst Drummer" Where?"

Daisy pointed: "It's just ahead, I'll take you there."

The two chatted while walking, and Wang Jinjin took a few photos from time to time, which will be used as material after returning home.

"Wang, you are here for Li, right?" Daisy asked.

"Yes, do you have any inside information that you can disclose to me." Wang Jinjin said.

Daisy shook her head and said, "I don't know much more than you. I only know that he is a Chinese actor. He met director Damien Chazelle in Australia, and later collaborated on this movie."

Wang Jinjin recorded that this was an important inside story. When he came to the door, he finally saw the huge poster of "Burst Drummer". Wang Jinbu took a few photos of the poster with excitement.

Daisy said: "I still have a few electronic posters, and I will send them to your email later."

"Thank you," Wang Jinjin thanked.Then he asked the staff at the door, "Is there still a test screening of "Blowout Drummer" today?"

The staff looked at the list, and then replied: "You are lucky, there is still one show that is not fully booked tonight."

"OK, then I'll order two."

"Please show your interview permit, OK, okay, get the ticket, remember not to be late, it will be invalid if it expires."

"Okay, thank you sir."

Daisy saw that Wang Jinjin had done the work, and then said: "Come on, I'll take you to another place for a stroll, maybe there are other materials."

"Okay, let's go."

After dinner, before going to the movies, Wang Jinjin hurriedly sorted out what he had seen and heard, and prepared all the materials. He was going to write a report after the movie was over and send it back to China.

Wang Jinjin had a hunch, with this news, how much bonus he would get, and most importantly, he would become an important entertainment reporter.
