The Wolf of Los Angeles

Chapter 8 Gaoshan Community Theater

When the bus arrived in Park City, Hawke had a great conversation with Brand.

The two exchanged mobile phone numbers, and Brand invited Hawke to stay at his house temporarily.

Park City is a famous ski resort in the United States.

Brand’s parents work in the ski resort on the mountain and will not go down the mountain easily during the peak tourist season.

Hawke couldn't stop this guy's enthusiasm and responded.

He mainly doesn't want to stay in a six-person hotel with $50 a night.

There is no need to think about star hotels, Hawke made a phone call in Salt Lake City. The cheapest hotel has a single room of $455, and the cheap motel costs $285 a night.

Even so, it is hard to find a room.

Park City has only one main street, and various houses are built along the street in an orderly manner on the hillside.

The bus stopped in the middle of the main street, and Brand asked Hawke to get off.

The houses in the community here are obviously older, and although the city is small, there are also class differences.

When the bus left, Hawke looked diagonally across the main street, where there was a Great Salt Lake Cinema, with many movie posters hanging at the entrance of the cinema.

Brand carried his computer bag, looked over there, and said, "The Sundance Film Festival is essentially an independent film fair. At this time of year, any theater in Park City will have more than sixteen screenings in a day. Hour."

Hawke retracted his gaze: "Every independent filmmaker wants to create miracles."

"Let's go here." Brand led the way and entered the high mountain community on the roadside. He introduced as he walked: "There are not many people in Park City. This is one of the largest communities. Although the conditions are average, everyone is not rich. , but the neighborhood is very good.”

Hawke was also observing that the community was built along a large gentle slope, each with a not-so-large wooden detached house, with almost no minority visible.

Two young men came towards him and greeted Brand far away: "You boy, are you sneaking back to attend the film festival?"

Brand said: “I can’t miss the troupe gathers every year during the film festival.”

One of the people wearing down jackets said, "Our theater troupe has never produced a big star. Every time we get together, we have to be AA, everyone is not well-off, and many people have opinions."

"Because no one is willing to pay for the sponsorship." Brand shrugged: "If there is no big shot, the party will be cancelled, and the troupe will really be disbanded."

"Captain Larson hasn't organized an event for more than half a year." The one wearing a cotton-lined hat looked at Hawk and asked, "Your friend?"

Brand quickly introduced: "This is Hawke Osmon, an entertainment media practitioner, a friend I met in Salt Lake City." He also introduced the down jacket and cotton thread hat: "This is Damian, this is Lewis. ”

Damian came over and fisted Hawke: "We are unemployed people."

Hawke said seriously: "I was the same some time ago."

Damian and Lewis laughed.

Brand pointed to the hillside: "I'll take Hawke back to settle first, and then talk back."

Lewis said, "We'll go find you later."

Maybe due to his personality, Brand is very popular in the community and people keep saying hello on the way.

Hawke followed him into the house, a not-so-large single-family house divided into three bedrooms.

Because no one lives in it for a long time, the furniture and beds are covered with dustproof cloth.

Hawke helped Brand clean up together and asked by the way, "Your community theater troupe holds parties regularly?"

"I'm the biggest every year during the film festival." Brand wondered, "Didn't you tell me on the road? Sorry, I forgot."

He roughly said: "During the film festival, we will watch one or two movies together, and then hold a self-service party to discuss the development of the troupe in the next year, and the cost is AA system. In the first few years, everyone is very interested and hopes that the troupe can produce a troupe. The star character, but the troupe didn’t even have a professional actor, which is so disappointing.”

Hawke was very interested in this American community troupe and asked, "There are many people in the troupe?"

Brand said: "The troupe was established at the 7th Sundance Film Festival, and it is the 18th this year. It has been more than ten years. There are more than 200 people who have joined the troupe one after another. In recent years, more and more people have participated in the gatherings. There are fewer and fewer people last year, and no one wants to pay for it.”

Hawke understood this mentality of gathering the crowd and joked: "What if someone treats you?"

Brand laughed, and then Hawke joked, "Big blogger, do you want to treat me? I promise that more than 100 people can come with my family." Hawke said the truth: "I can't afford to treat me."

It was almost noon, and Brand got his cell phone: "I'll order something to eat."

Hawke stopped him and said, "I'll go out to buy it." He couldn't have someone leave the room and have dinner, and asked, "When I came, I saw a mountain pizza restaurant nearby. How did it taste?"

Brand said: "His family is doing a good job."

Hawke took his wallet and cell phone, opened the door, and found Damian and Lewis arrived at the door.

The latter greeted, "Hey, man, I'm leaving just now? Did Brand change his orientation and harass you?"

Hawke spread his hands: "I'll go buy lunch."

Lewis and Damian fisted: "It's great, let's have a meal!"

Brand came over from the living room and raised his **** at Lewis: "Don't slander my reputation. I have a girl I like at State University and invite her to the film festival."

Damian sneered: "You said last time you came back, your goddess! You are pursuing like a male dog in heat, but she is not interested in you and repeatedly rejects your invitation."

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

Brand, who has always talked a lot, is no longer there.

Hawke remembered the beautiful **** the platform, but didn't say much and went out to buy pizza.

Damian and Lewis entered and asked, “Hauck really works in the entertainment media industry?”

"Of course, he's still an amazing entertainment blogger!" Brand was energetic again, speaking faster than his head: "He knows a lot of Hollywood inside stories."

Seeing that there was a melon to eat, Lewis asked, "What's the inside story?"

Brand quickly covered his mouth, but the words in his stomach made his throat uncomfortable, and he immediately rushed open his teeth: "Tell you a top secret news, don't spread it out, Winona Reed, yes! "Scissors Hand" The heroine of Edward, she has a stealing habit and often steals things."

Damian and Lewis opened their mouths in surprise and asked in a mess.

Not long after, Hawk returned from outside with two large pizza boxes.

He also bought a dozen cans of beer, took apart each and threw a can, and raised his glass to the other three: "Cheers to our acquaintance."

"cheers!"

After drinking the beer, Lewis asked Hawke: "Did Winona Reed steal male celebrity underwear?"

Hawke did not answer, turned to look at Brand, feeling heartbroken: "This is the top secret!"

"I'm sorry." Brand quickly apologized: "I couldn't hold it back for a while."

He felt guilty: "I did something wrong, Hawk, you are in trouble in Park City, just look for me."

These people were just when they were young and impulsive. Lewis also said, "You shared a shocking gossip with us, and asked us to drink, and if you have something to do in Park City, just say it."

Damian said, "We can't solve it, we can still find a group of people to help you."

Of course, Hawke didn't care about these things, and instead said, "When I came here by car, many places had already started to be screened. Will we go and have a look in the afternoon?"

Business opportunities will not appear on their own, and you need to take the initiative to look for them.

The money-making operations he thought of also need to have a suitable crew to perform.

Brand responded, "I'll take you there, I have acquaintances on the organizing committee."

The natives of the small towns have a wide network of people.

The four of them ate pizza and drank beer, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

I am preparing to make the new book list and have monthly tickets in my hand. Please give me a few.
