059 American Golden Boy
Ian looked at Lance sitting next to him with a simple and neat black suit, but paired with a collarless white shirt, formally with some casualness. The calm and calm smile would not be too ostentatious or too humble, and would show confidence just right. ┡┞Read┞╟book 1;┡
Lance is a little familiar, but more strange. He has never worked with Lance before. Chaos Pictures was the first official collaboration between their brothers since they became adults. Now Ian has only appeared. Before he knew it, the thin and gloomy brother who seemed to disappear at any time has grown into a person who stands alone.
Lance smiled and made a look. Ian withdrew his gaze and showed a decent but casual smile. He looked at Robert who was walking towards him, and then stood up. "Mr. Redford, thank you for nodding today for your lunch today. I hope that my behavior of using power for personal gain will not affect my professional image."
"Haha, please call me Robert privately. Even to thank you for your outstanding work, I have to enjoy my face today, not to mention, as far as I know, today's lunch is free." The smile on Robert's face was relaxed and cheerful, just like the sunshine of Miami Beach, which was refreshing.
Ian also chuckled and held Robert's right hand, "This is not a difficult thing." Then he turned to look at Lance who was standing aside, "Please let me introduce you to the owner of the bill for lunch today, this is Lancelot-Stralo. I want to read ┠┠┝┞┞┠book.ww.1┝" and then said with a smile, "Lance, this is Robert Redford."
Lance, who had been standing next to him and smiling, shook hands with Robert, "I'll go to the bathroom to confirm the credit card limit later." A joke made Robert laugh happily. Fortunately, they were in a comfortable Dutch restaurant at this time, with orange windmills spinning slowly at the door, and Robert's laughter did not seem abrupt. "I'm glad to know you, Mr. Redford."
"Straelo? So, are you brothers?" Robert still held Lance's right hand and did not let go. After receiving Lance's affirmative answer, he raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "I only told Ian not long ago that he should join Hollywood and that he would become the dream lover of countless women; now, the same suggestion should be given to you, so tell me that there are no other excellent children in the Strealo family."
"I hope other Hollywood producers can hear this, so my life will become much easier." Lance's slightly exaggerated expression and this sentence immediately made Robert laugh again.
The three of them sat down separately, the waiter brought the menu over, and Robert picked up the menu and started reading, but the words did not stop, "So, Lancelot, Ian said you have a project you want me to take a look, I'm already here now. ╟┡To read ┠╟book┠"
Lance looked at Robert unexpectedly. He did not expect that Robert even omitted the polite steps of ordering and went straight to the point.
Robert in front of him is no longer young, a little blessed, and his handsome face has begun to relax. The wind and frost of time left wrinkles, but you can still vaguely see the outline of the intoxicating American youth.
In the United States, Jin has always been a special existence. The term "Gimyo" gradually extends from women's special purpose to men. Brad Pitt of the Mesozoic generation to Chris Hemsworth of the New Generation, they also set off a trend of sexually sentimental men, and they have lasted forever.
However, the originator who really made people fantasize about the Golden Man was Robert in front of him. The sudden emergence of Robert made people realize that King was also a sense of sex on men, and he won the title of "American Golden Boy". Later, Brad and Chris were considered to be the path to copy Robert's success. Brad was called "Robert's successor" in his early career.
Now, Robert is no longer young and has no longer looks. However, after more than 30 years of Hollywood and countless storms, he has become more wise. At the same time, don’t forget that Robert is also the founder of the Sundance Film Festival. ╟┠You have to read ┝Book┝
Instead of hiding his surprise, Lance showed the panic caused by this accident, and then covered it up with a smile. "Sorry, I thought I could have some buffering time, but..." Lance took a sip of water and suppressed his shock. "This is the thing. I filmed and made a movie, hoping to get a trial opportunity to see if I could have the chance to take the stage of the Sundance Film Festival."
Unlike facing Harvey, Lance adopted a different strategy. Because Harvey was a businessman, what he needed to see was interests; but Robert was a filmmaker, what he needed to see was thought, which was also the excellence of his creation of the Sundance Film Festival. Therefore, Lance did not use any tricks, and even deliberately amplified his nervousness a little.
Sure enough, Robert showed a "should be like this" expression and nodded, "But you should know that the Sundance selection period will be closed in three days, and we will not accept any form of registration at this time."
There are some considerations when selecting the films participating in the film festival. The film festival’s own fixed judging team will read all the entries and then select works worthy of the shortlist to ensure the quality of the film festival’s works and the diversity of subject matters. After the opening of the film festival, a professional jury that will be replaced every year will take over and be responsible for selecting the final winning works.
Therefore, the film festival's own review team shoulders the important task of the overall average level of the film festival, while the professional jury shoulders the important task of improving the artistic level and aesthetic height of the film festival. You must read ╟┡┝╟book 1;┝
It is precisely because of this that registration for a film festival often requires half a year in advance, at least three months, leaving enough time for the film festival review team to review and finally hand over the shortlist. Therefore, although according to the rules, the registration deadline for the Sundance Film Festival is three days later, generally speaking, half a month before the registration deadline, all registration work will be basically completed.
However, there are exceptions in everything. The reason why the registration time is kept so long is to prevent unexpected situations. For example, some famous directors signed up early, but the finished products edited from the movie are difficult to satisfy, so they must go back and rework. The result may result in that the finished products will be handed over at the last moment of registration deadline.
Faced with Robert's veto, Lance did not panic, but pointed to Ian beside him, "So I found a shortcut, hoping to impress you and at least get a chance to explain to you."
"You are wasting time and my credit now." Ian, who was silent after sitting down, was named after a sentence, came out, but it just rightly resolved Robert's next words, and won Lance room to continue speaking.
Lance naturally would not miss the opportunity. "Not long ago, when I was filming in Rio, I accidentally heard that you were interested in the adaptation of the novel "Motorcycle Diary"?" This is a lie, this is what Lance found during the investigation, and it is definitely an unexpected surprise.
"Rio?" Robert indeed captured this detail, "Why, are you interested in South America Big 6?"
The "Motorcycle Diary" tells the story of Ernesto Guevara when she was young, the most important core figure of the Cuban Revolution, and has now become a universal symbol of counterculture around the world and one of the most influential figures of the 20th century.
Lance chuckled and nodded, "That's a magical 6, isn't it? Almost every journey is an adventure. Before I started shooting this work, I was actually very interested in the 'Motor Diary', but the Guevara family was unwilling to compromise easily about the copyright of the original work, and all I own was a newly established production company, which obviously was not convincing enough."
This made Robert chuckle, obviously empathizing, "So, what kind of South American work did you film?"
"I wonder if you have ever approached a slum called the City of God when you visited Rio?" Lance's heart still did not relax. The conversation that seemed to be understatement just now was carefully designed by him and finally got into the topic smoothly. Next, it depends on whether Lance can impress Robert.
Robert shook his head, a little confused, obviously not very understanding.
Lance did not mean to show off, but instead curled his smile and said seriously, "I have been to Queens in New York and the most chaotic area in Detroit. I have always believed that it is the slum in my understanding. Even the poverty of Africa 6 is not the case. But after arriving in the City of God, I realized how stupid I was." This self-deprecating sentence made Robert chuckle. At this time, the waiter came over and asked if he wanted to order food. Instead, Robert raised his hand on his own initiative, stopped the other party, and signaled to Lance to continue.
"I see that the real slums do not necessarily mean how difficult life is, or how chaotic public security is, the disasters brought by hunger, water shortage, and disease are just a way of manifestation of slums. There are countless slums in the world, and every place has its own disaster. Perhaps, Africa, which is in the midst of war and turmoil, will be even more terrible. In this way, the slums in the United States seem to be nothing at all. But in fact, the real dilemma of slums is a siege that cannot be walked out, and a siege that cannot be walked out after entering."
Robert looked at Lance's eyes, and his mood began to sway in the slightly ups and downs tone. When Lance stopped, he couldn't help frowning slightly, as if he couldn't wait. Lance's calm words were gently shaking in the air, but contained endless stories, as if there was a heavy story behind every word.
Robert had to admit that Lance successfully grabbed his attention.
