Movie Master

The 11-day Sundance Film Festival has finally come to an end, and all 32 participating works have made their debuts. This carnival of film lovers has come to an end again, and everyone is reluctant to part with it. I came to the main venue again to participate in the closing ceremony and awards ceremony to be held tonight.

Lance brought the "City of God" crew members to the venue early, and after a while Lance saw the Weinstein brothers arriving at the scene with normal expressions. There was nothing special about Harvey's expression, but Bob, who was standing aside, frowned slightly, looking up and down at Lance, with critical and repulsive eyes in his eyes.

Lance didn't seem to notice Bob's hostility at all, but showed a polite smile, and waved his right hand to Harvey to show his friendliness.

Harvey also raised his right hand to signal, the smile on his face even had a hint of enthusiasm, as if seeing an old friend. Afterwards, Harvey pointed to the two companions around him, nodded his chin apologetically, and seemed to say, "There are guests here, I'll come to see you later." The familiarity and intimacy, in anyone's eyes, are two best friends greeting each other.

"I heard that you really annoyed those two brothers this time." Ethana came from the side with a teasing voice, and then stopped beside Lance, "If it was me, I would do it now going to run away.”

Without turning his head, Lance glanced at Ethan out of the corner of his eye, and said seriously, "Escape to Arkansas? Or Kentucky?"

Ethan propped his chin solemnly, and after some careful thought, "Alaska, I don't know, or Hawaii." This made both of them chuckle. "I'm serious, you offended these two brothers, and you will encounter a lot of troubles. Believe me, it is estimated that there will be negative news about 'City of God' soon."

Creating rumors, smearing opponents, and exalting themselves is one of the usual methods used by the Weinstein brothers to hit the Oscars. At the beginning, they used this method to defeat "Saving Private Ryan" and let "Shakespeare in Love" succeed; later they used the same method to pull down "Social Network" and achieved "The King's Speech".

Lance pursed his lips, "It won't be so soon, at least until November." Since the awards season only started then, Ethan couldn't help but laugh at this openness, "Trust me, these two brothers are smart people , interests are what they care about, not me." Especially Harvey.

Ethan shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, "No matter what the future holds, at least this time, I think it's really amazing, amazing!"

Lance grinned.

In fact, playing Harvey Weinstein this time cannot be regarded as Lance's plan, but can only be regarded as collateral damage in the process of planning—or fringe benefits.

Negotiations between Lance and Brad hit an impasse before meeting Harvey for the last time. Brad put forward the final transaction conditions, 1.5 million plus 35% box office dividends, this is the limit. In fact, this is already a completely acceptable transaction for Lance. In this way, as long as the box office of "City of God" exceeds four million US dollars, Chaos Pictures can achieve profitability.

However, a truly outstanding businessman will not compromise so easily. Therefore, Lance found the strongest competitor for Brad, and at the same time tested Harvey's final bid. If Harvey had quoted 1.8 million plus 35% conditions at that time, then Lance would definitely nod on the spot. It's a pity that Harvey has obviously gradually lost his patience in many confrontations, and cut off all possibilities simply and rudely.

What was Harvey's reaction when he learned that he missed out on the distribution rights to "City of God" simply for "three hundred thousand dollars"? Lance was a little curious, but he had no chance to find out.

"I believe that lady is looking for you." Ethan patted Lance's arm, then raised his chin and pointed in another direction.

Lance looked over, and then saw Jessica Alba in a long lake blue dress. Lance's eyes collided with Jessica unexpectedly, and he nodded to her with a smile as a greeting. But Jessica nodded hurriedly as if she had been electrocuted, and then turned her head to look in another direction, as if Lance was a scourge.

"Aren't you planning to go over and say hello?" Ethan was a little surprised to find that Lance's steps didn't move at all, and then found that Lance shrugged indifferently, still looking calm, and Ethan stepped back. Half a step later, his eyes turned back and forth between Lance and Jessica twice, which made Lance feel a little funny, "I thought you were dating."

This is the assumption that Lance hoped the media would create. During the Sundance Film Festival, the only lace news was the combination of Lance and Jessica, which attracted many people's attention.

Lance pursed his lips, "We're just friends." This sentence made Ethan raise his eyebrows, and then he didn't know what to think of, and suddenly realized "Oh", which seemed to have a lot of meaning. However, Lance had no intention of asking, and just let the wings of Ethan's imagination fly freely.

However, Jessica, who was standing at the far end at this time, seemed to be struggling a bit. She hesitated several times, and kept secretly looking at Lance from the corner of her eyes. Soon, she found that Lance and Ethan did not stop at all. He had already walked to the side and started talking with several other people. This made Jessica a little discouraged, and her heart was like a kitten scratching its paws, unable to settle down at all.

To go, or not to go; to go, or not to go... Jessica's thoughts are always wandering. She kept taking deep breaths, and then comforted herself, "It's just a greeting, out of courtesy from a friend", but this still didn't calm her down.

Walking all the way in front of Lance, Jessica's mind was still in a mess, she could only temporarily suppress those messy thoughts, and mustered up the courage to squeeze out a smile, "Hey, Lance." Then he turned around in response. come over—

In an instant, the world seemed to be slowed down a hundred times. He turned his head slowly, and the golden light behind him was shining brightly, outlining the thrilling facial lines; those azure blue eyes blinked slightly , the slender and thick eyelashes are like butterfly wings, and then the bright starlight under the eyes slowly ripples, as if the entire starry sky is laid out in the deep pupils; A sexual/sensual arc, perfect enough to stop the heart beating.

Jessica just stood there in a daze, her brain completely stopped functioning. Then she saw the smile blooming on the corner of Lance's mouth, with a hint of doting, joking, and brilliance, "Jessica?" Those star-like eyes looked at her intently, gently raising doubts Ripples, "Are you okay?"

Jesus Christ. "Good evening!" Jessica blurted out, but then bit the tip of her tongue when she realized how badly she was doing. "I mean, I'm fine, I'm fine. How about you?"

"I'm fine." Lance's smile returned to that of a gentleman.

Jessica was stunned, and tried to say something, but she pursed her lips, but found that her mind was blank, and the only thought in her mind blurted out, "Are you going to have dinner tonight?" After saying it, Jessica On the contrary, Xika calmed down and focused all her energy on Lance's answer. Her rationality hoped that Lance would refuse, but her emotions wanted Lance to nod. This is a torment.

"Hehe." Lance chuckled, "It's already past dinner time."

Jessica was stunned by this answer, and then gritted her teeth angrily. She only remembered now that tonight was the closing ceremony, and they attended after dinner. After realizing this, Jessica laughed twice, "Unfortunately, my joke didn't deceive you. Originally, I thought that after you nodded and agreed, and then I refused you, that would be the best " Jessica didn't know what she was talking about, "Well, I never wanted to have dinner with you, you are not my type, not at all."

After speaking, Jessica laughed again, turned around in embarrassment, and left quickly. UU reading www. uukanshu． com Jessica closed her eyes fiercely, "Crazy! You are crazy! You are absolutely crazy to provoke demons on your own initiative!" Muttering and cursing secretly, she fled the scene of the disaster at the speed of light.

Lance's gaze stayed on Jessica's back for a while, but he quickly retracted it. He turned his head to look at Ethan, who was watching the show, and showed a helpless smile. Ethan raised his hands innocently, "I'm invisible, from beginning to end." Jessica even forgot to say hello to Ethan just now, coming and going like the wind.

Lance directly ignored Ethan's teasing, "Let's go, the closing ceremony is about to begin." Then the two walked into the banquet hall side by side. Ethan was present as a special guest, and his position was not with Lance. The two said goodbye immediately. Lance found the location of the crew of "City of God" and sat with the members.

The biggest difference between the film festival and award ceremonies such as the Oscars and Golden Globes is that the film festival does not have a specific award ceremony, nor will it turn the closing ceremony into a gala. Movies are the most important thing. At the closing ceremony, they will directly reveal the suspense, award the ownership of each award, and then announce the end of the film festival. Concise, clear and crisp.

There are many awards in the Sundance Film Festival, including the Audience Award, the Jury Award, the Special Jury Award and the Director Award. Each department will include documentaries and feature films. However, the award that can really represent the Sundance Film Festival every year is the Jury Award, which is equivalent to the Palme d'Or in Cannes, the Golden Bear in Berlin, the Golden Lion in Venice and the best film in the Oscars.

Grand prize, only one.
