Chapter 212 Saint Denis Film Festival
Chen Tian was stunned for a moment and looked at Emma Roberts. He thought there was something wrong with his ear.
Such suspicion made Emma Roberts think that Chen Tian understood her inner thoughts.
My whole head was so eager to lower it to my chest, for fear that Chen Tian would see something.
"I'm doing it for the performance. My aunt told me that everything can be used, as long as it is for art.
I just... just want to find that feeling from your loving eyes.
I'm still young, but I don't know, so I want to give it a try.
I tried it, and looking at my favorite actor, I think I should be able to do it." Emma Roberts' voice was a little low, but Chen Tian still heard it clearly this time.
"Okay, I understand!"
Chen Tian was not surprised. After all, Emma Roberts grew up under the influence of Julia Roberts, and the Emma Roberts family had this gene.
Emma Roberts raised his head again, and Chen Tian looked at Emma Roberts's red face and frowned, but he didn't say anything.
Soon Emma Roberts turned into Scarlett Johnson in Chen Tian's eyes, and Emma Roberts looked at Chen Tian's eyes and adjusted his emotions.
Kloe Moretz was also leading it to the glass room. Emma Roberts glanced at Kloe Moretz and then looked at Chen Tian.
Looking at Chen Tian, Emma Roberts felt a little beating in his heart.
But soon she adjusted and approached the character Julie who asked Chen Tian for a shy expression.
Chen Tian also slowly walked out of Scarlett Johnson. Looking at Emma Roberts' expression, Chen Tian nodded.
"Emma. You did a great job, just be a little more confident, just be more natural!"
Hearing Chen Tian's words, Emma Roberts adjusted his expression again.
"GOOD! Emma gives you a thumbs up! That's it, this is what I need!" Chen Tian said with a smile.
Emma Roberts laughed when he heard Chen Tian’s praise: “I will do better later.”
Chen Tian smiled: "Come on, I'll go down. Say the tired words and then take a break!"
"Yes!" Emma Roberts nodded. He watched Chen Tian climb down from the ladder, and felt a little disappointed.
Emma Roberts's next performance turned out to be much more natural and the shooting went smoothly.
Before we knew it, the shooting time of a week passed quickly, and there was no major accident in the crew. More than half of the outdoor plot was completed in seven days.
At this progress, all the shooting tasks of "Falling in Hearts" can be completed in less than a month.
However, Chen Tian knew that "The Fallen Heart" was also the beginning of a new difficulty after the filming was completed.
In addition to special effects production, a lot of narration needs to be added.
And it needs to be added after the editing is completed. Although the actors do not need to perform, Christine Sloan and Emma Roberts are required to participate in the dubbing.
"Thank God, I finally completed half of the task." Chen Tian stretched and smiled at the monitor in front of him.
Today is January 17th, and tomorrow is January 18th.
It is also the opening day of the 20th St. Denis International Film Festival. "Saw" directed by Chen Tian Investment and Wan Ziren will also serve as the opening film of the St. Denis International Film Festival tomorrow.
The St. Dennis International Film Festival is held in Park City, Utah in late January, and lasts for 11 days.
Founded by Robert Redford in 1984, after years of accumulation, this small film festival in the United States has become an important spiritual pillar of the independent production industry.
Many new Hollywood directors regard it as a springboard for directing mainstream commercial blockbusters. Hollywood big production companies are looking for newcomers.
It is specially designed for independent filmmakers. The 20-year journey has become increasingly important in recent years.
It aims to encourage low-cost, independent films that express a completely different purpose from Hollywood movies.
The St. Denis International Film Festival is organized by the Sundance Institute. The institute consists of 25 members.
In 1981, Robert Redford established the Sundance Institute, dedicated to supporting and cultivating new film screenwriters and film directors; supporting and helping new dramas and documentaries participate in domestic and international film festivals in the United States.
The institute sponsors almost 400 filmmakers every year and more than 20,000 people attending the Sundance Film Festival.
Many sponsored directors or films later won Oscars, Emmys or various international film festival awards.
Chen Tian, who was strong some time ago, Quentin Tarantino and Christopher Nolan both came out of the St. Dennis International Film Festival and became an internationally renowned director.
Both of them also have great achievements at the Oscars. Every year, film festival staff and members of the Sundance Institute have to watch more than 3,000 films that are required to participate, and about 100 feature films were selected from them and about 60 short films were selected to participate in the film festival.
Nowadays, not only in the United States, but many directors around the world will participate with their own works.
"Saw" was recognized and became the opening film.
Chen Tian’s first work "Buried Alive", Wan Ziren’s first work "Super Burger King", and "The Little Sunshine Beauty" all came from the St. Denny’s Film Festival in later generations.
Among them, "The Little Beauty of Sunshine" set a record of 12 million copyright sale at the St. Dennis International Film Festival.
These days, Parker City has suddenly become lively and the atmosphere of movies can be seen everywhere.
The hotel Chen Tian stayed was almost full, and Lionsgate Pictures led by Tom Thorenberg sent three managers.
MGM is led by Eric Lomis and Josh Booth, while Warner is led by Dan Fehrman.
Not only the eight major film companies have sent people, but many film companies have sent people to Parker City.
Their purpose is to find a video they like, which is actually another kind of gambling.
No one spends money to buy the video and hopes to lose money, but not everyone can make money by buying the video.
"Justin, do you want us to be together tomorrow?" Tom Thornebor said with a smile. The three of Lion Gate were also staying in the hotel where Chen Tian was.
"As long as you don't mind, I don't care. Maybe we both will gain something tomorrow." Chen Tian said with a smile.
Warner, MGM, and Lions Gate had already met Chen Tian when they came, and they all expressed their intention to buy a video and have ideas about "Falling in Hearts", but Chen Tian temporarily rejected the issue of "Falling in Hearts".
Jon Filtimel laughed and half-jokingly said, "Justin, don't blame us. When we see which one you like, we will compete with you!"
Chen Tian laughed: "Eric and Dan Fehrman have already said this sentence. I am considering whether to deliberately say which video I like tomorrow.
Then you ask if the director of that film would thank me, maybe I can discuss with him to get a kickback.”
"Justin, I know you don't know what you don't know. You will definitely not look down on that little money." Tom Thorenberg said.
On January 18, at 7 a.m., there are about two hours left before the start of the film festival.
But many people have already started to act on the road, for Park City, Utah, a small mountain town famous for its alpine skiing.
These days have been their biggest festival, and the economy of the entire town has also been driven.
At the same time, it also attracted a large number of tourists to influx. This town became the most concerned place for the film festival during this period.
Directors, actors, production company personnel, journalists, and movie fans can be seen everywhere on the street.
However, there are more newcomers on the street who love movies and are unknown. They come to the exhibition with their works, hoping to get opportunities and appreciation here.
"James, today is your day to become famous!" Chen Tian looked at Wen Ziren and said with a smile.
Wan Ziren shrugged: "This is not my credit, but I dare say that some people must be sorry that our video has been sold long ago.
Otherwise, would anyone rob it?"
"What do you say, that's for sure, do you have no confidence in the video?"
"Of course not. There are credits to you, the miracle director, here, but I'm sorry to tell you that you gave up on this credit." Wen Ziren said with a smile.
Today, Chen Tian will go to the film exhibition with Wen Ziren, Kate Green, Tim Suschett, Emma Roberts, Kollo Moretz, and Christine Sloan.
Others can have their own rest time, and the little guys are also willing to accompany them, although Chen Tian would rather stay in the hotel.
After all, there must be a lot of people in the film festival today, so it will be bad if there is any accident.
They followed, Chen Tian and his friends must have a lot of thoughts to take care of them, but the little guys were obviously in a good mood.
"Are you also attending the film festival?" Chen Tian just got into a taxi, and the white uncle asked with a smile.
"Yes, I'm here to participate." Chen Tian replied with a smile.
"But you look more like a traveler, like a super dad!" The white uncle looked at the three little kids following Chen Tian.
Chen Tian pointed at himself: "Do I look that old? I am only 23 years old this year."
"It's not like it, but you are the only person I have seen in so many years to attend a film festival with three children. What kind of video are you?
Thriller or plot, or love!" said the white uncle while driving.
"Actually, I'm watching the video to see if I can buy the video I like."
The white uncle turned his head and looked at Chen Tian: "I can't see it."
Chen Tian knew what the white uncle's smile meant, just to think that he was a young man who was very rich at home and was spending money on his own.
"Hey, uncle, pay attention to the front. I don't want an accident before I arrived at the movie exhibition. Then you will be in the newspaper tomorrow!" Chen Tian said with a smile.
Chapter completed!
