Movie Master

The bitter cold wind blew over, drilled into the body along the gap of the scarf, collided with the warm heat, and turned into countless fine needles like cow hair, pricking the skin densely, making all the pores stand up, and in a blink of an eye, Suddenly, the boiling blood began to cool down.

Lance stood where he was, took off his black suede gloves contentedly, took out a pack of Skittles from his pocket, poured a few into his palm, and threw it into his mouth. Brothers Theo, Ian, and Gawain gave Lance Skittles as presents, and they had been doing so since he was ten years old.

He was about nine years old when he ate Skittles for the first time. At that time, Theo was taking care of other people's children, but he didn't get paid again. The other party only gave him a pack of Skittles and sent him away. Later, Ian took Gawain and quietly took the family's car away. scratched. After returning, the bag of Skittles was given to him.

When he was ten years old, it was his first birthday since he came to the foster family. Because that year Theo became an adult, Theo asked him what birthday present he wanted. He thought about it seriously, and said the most delicious luxury in the world but they couldn't afford it, Skittles.

Sugar was indeed a luxury for them who couldn't eat enough at that time.

Since then, Skittles has always been included in Lance's birthday present every year, and it has never changed. Gao Wen's mysterious gift was actually a huge rainbow sugar wine barrel, which seemed to be at least three liters in size. It was specially ordered by Gao Wen, and a faucet was even installed underneath it like a beer barrel, so you could grab a bowl at any time to pick up.

While thinking, the door of the supermarket behind him opened again, Percy walked over quickly, his footsteps on the snow creaked, and then shook his head at Lance, "If you want to buy wine, you have to go there Salt Lake City, there are several officially licensed stores where you can buy alcohol."

Lance stuffed the Skittles into his pocket and put on his gloves again, "I know this is the territory of the Mormons, but I thought there would be an exception during Sundance."

Now Lance is standing on the land of Park City, which belongs to Salt Lake City, the headquarters of Mormonism. There are two world-famous teachings of Mormonism, one is polygamy, and the other is no smoking, no drinking, no smoking/drugs, and no gambling. But it's ironic that the Sundance Film Festival has chosen to take root in Park City, where a group of the world's wildest, freest, most alternative film youths gather every January.

"Party without wine?" Lance frowned. Lance was not quite used to coming from the warm spring of Los Angeles to the biting cold Salt Lake City. However, Lance spent his childhood in snowy Wisconsin, so he is not afraid of the cold, he just needs a little alcohol to warm him up.

Percy pointed to the main street in front, "The owner told me that there is a place where drinking is allowed at the Sundance Film Festival. It’s all free. However, you can only drink in that room, and it’s illegal to go out of the room.”

"Then what are you waiting for, go forward!" Lance waved his hand, and took a step forward.

This year's Sundance Film Festival will last for 11 days and is divided into two parts. The first 10 days will be the exhibition of works, and the last day will be the closing ceremony and awards ceremony. In fact, this is probably the case for film festivals around the world. "City of God" will have its premiere on January 21. At that time, five actors, including Alexandria Rodriguez, will come and stay here until the closing ceremony.

However, the actors will not arrive in Salt Lake City until the day after tomorrow. Lance and Percy came here early today just to attend the opening ceremony of the Sundance Film Festival. It is rare to participate in a grand event of global independent films, so it is natural to enjoy it.

The reason why Sundance is different from other film festivals is that almost all the filmmakers appearing on this stage are unfamiliar faces—some are fledgling newcomers, and some are unknown practitioners. But this is also the charm of Sundance, because it is full of countless potentials and countless unknowns. Compared with business, it is more a big party for a group of movie lovers.

No one can predict whether there will be the rise of proving stars here, Quentin - Tarantino, Christopher - Nolan (Christopher - Nolan) came out of Sundance, Steven - Soderbergh , the Coen Brothers and others have also demonstrated their talents on this stage; no one can predict how their thoughts will be collided here. Most filmmakers are people with lofty ideals who are tireless and conscientious and indulge in movies.

This unique temperament makes Sundance different from other film festivals in the world and becomes a unique and beautiful landscape.

Lance came to the bar again, "A bottle of Rose, thank you." He had already drank a glass of whiskey just now, and walked back and forth in the three rooms opened for nearly two hours, gaining a lot. Compared with whiskey, beer is obviously more suitable for the atmosphere here. Sure enough, as soon as this sentence fell, a voice came from the side, "Excellent choice."

Lance turned his head and looked over, and then saw a bearded face, with only a few inches of dark hair still curled up slightly, and the dark brown beard seemed to have not been taken care of for a while, but even In this way, it is still impossible to hide the bookish look behind the black-rimmed glasses. It seems that he should stay at the Dead Poets Society more than Sundance.

"What about you?" Lance glanced at the beer bottle in the bearded man's hand, "Abbey?" Ross and Abbey are both beer brands, Ross is a local brand in Wyoming, and Abbey is Belgian beer. "So, I met a big shot?" Rose is more blue-collar drinking, and Abbey is often ridiculed as the official beer of Washington—because it is too delicate, and honey is added in it, and the taste is mellow and smooth, just like Have not withstood the wind and rain in general.

The bearded man understood the ridicule in Lance's words at once, and tilted his head, "It depends on your perspective on the problem."

Lance took the beer handed by the waiter, took a sip, and said with a chuckle, "Then just pray that my judgment is wrong, or that the person standing in front of me is a liar." He laughed happily, obviously understanding the deep meaning in Lance's words.

This man with a big beard is not a random person. Although the thick beard makes it difficult to recognize the face, Lance still recognizes the real identity of the other party—Ethan-Coen (Ethan-Coen). A well-deserved figure in the American independent film industry.

From "Blood Labyrinth" to "Fargo" to "No Country for Old Men," "Grit Grit," and "Drunkard Ballad," Ethan and his brother Joel-Coen teamed up to create, it's safe to say It's all wonderful!

Someone once discussed who is the real top figure in the independent film industry between Quentin and the Coen brothers, and the debate has been going on for a long time. But in Lance's view, the Coen brothers' talent and talent, as well as their understanding of movies, are indeed unmatched. They have their own opinions - they may not be correct or successful, but they have indeed blazed their own path.

"So, what did you gain today?" Ethan sat down next to Lance and asked casually.

When Diorama Films planned to make "The Three Kings of Prison Break", Lance and the Coen Brothers had a relationship once, but unfortunately the cooperation did not work out in the end, but at least they were not strangers to each other.

Lance looked for a comfortable position on the chair, "I just met a young man who put all his belongings into the production of a work, seven thousand dollars. And a producer is willing to provide him with two $10,000 in sponsorship, but he turned it down because...he wanted to maintain his independence."

"Young man." Ethan shrugged, "It shouldn't be a surprise, should it?"

Lance nodded in affirmation, "The point is, his idea is very interesting. Four engineers invented a trial and error machine, which has the powerful function of deduction to change the world pattern, and then the movie tries to discuss a very interesting philosophical topic. If A man longs to have everything he cannot have, so what can one expect when it is achieved?"

"Wow, this script should be difficult to understand." Ethan took a sip of beer ~www.readwn.com~ exclaimed, "But this is also the charm of Sundance, where you can always see countless whimsical ideas. "

This is the biggest gain for Lance in the two hours of wandering just now, not only the collision of many unconstrained and unconstrained ideas, but also the communication between peers, which can learn a lot of knowledge. Different from the politeness and alienation of those in the Hollywood industry, at Sundance, everyone communicated openly and sincerely, which was more like a movie symphony. "So, what about you? What's special about you?"

In the early days of Sundance, Ethan was a frequent visitor to Park City, which is the biggest difference between him and the mainstream Hollywood people. He is very willing to communicate with his peers, "I just watched a participating documentary, 'My Flesh' .”

"I know this work, and I plan to enjoy it later, how about it?" Lance's eyes lit up slightly. This documentary tells the story of a single mother named Susan, who adopted eleven people with disabilities and special needs. The children in our care have their own disabilities, disabilities and problems.

"Excellent, very good. There are no fancy shots, but each shot has a profound meaning." Ethan sent his praise without hesitation. "In the process of watching the movie, my thoughts can't calm down. You know, happiness is always similar, but misfortune has its own different trajectory."

"Tolstoy." Lance nodded. What Ethan said just now came from Leo Tolstoy, "Then I must go to the cinema to watch it." Lang paused, then continued Said, "If you are interested in 'My Flesh', then you will definitely be interested in 'City of God'~www.readwn.com~Welcome all book friends to visit and read, the latest, fastest and hottest The serialized works are all available at ~www.readwn.com~ For mobile phone users, please go to read.
