067 Sundance Film Festival
The bitter cold wind blew over and drilled into the body through the gaps of the scarf, colliding with the warm heat, turning into countless fine needles like cow hair, densely tying the skin, making all the pores stand up. In a blink of an eye, the boiling blood began to cool down.
Lance stood there, happily took off the black suede gloves, took out a bag of rainbow candies from his pocket, poured a few into his palms, and threw them into his mouth. The gifts given to Lance by the three brothers Theo, Ian and Gowan were all rainbow candies, which has been the case since he was ten years old.
The first time he ate rainbow candy, he was about nine years old. At that time, Theo took care of the children for someone else's family, but he was not paid again. The other party only gave him a pack of rainbow candy, and sent him away. Later, Ian and Gao Wen quietly scratched the family's car. After he came back, the pack of rainbow candy was given to him.
When he was ten years old, it was his first birthday since he came to the foster home. Because Theo was an adult that year, Theo asked him what birthday gift he wanted. He thought about it carefully and said the luxurious rainbow candy that he thought was the best in the world but they could not afford.
Sugar was indeed a luxury for them who were unable to eat at that time.
Since then, every year, Lance's birthday gift must contain rainbow candy, which has never changed. Gao Wen's mysterious gift is actually a huge rainbow candy barrel, which looks at least three liters. It was specially customized by Gao Wen. It even installed a faucet underneath like a beer barrel, so you can pick it up with a bowl at any time.
While thinking, the supermarket door behind him opened again, and Percy walked over quickly, creaking with his footsteps on the snow, and shook his head at Lance, "If you want to buy wine, you must go to Salt Lake City, where there are several officially authorized stores to buy wine."
Lance stuffed the rainbow candy into his pocket and put his gloves on again, "I know this is the Mormon territory, but I thought there would be exceptions during Sundance."
Now Lance is standing on the land of Parker City, which is affiliated with the base camp of Mormonism in Salt Lake City. There are two world-famous doctrines of Mormonism, one is polygamy, and the other is not smoking, drinking, drugs, or gambling. However, Sundance Film Festival chose to take root in Parker City, which is really ironic. A group of the wildest, most free and most alternative film youths gather here every January.
"A party without wine" Lance frowned. From the warm spring-like Los Angeles to the bitingly cold Salt Lake City, Lance was really not very adaptable. However, Lance spent his childhood in the snowy Wisconsin, so he was not afraid of the cold, he just needed a little alcohol to warm up.
Percy pointed to the main street in front, "The owner told me that there are places for drinking at Sundance Film Festival. There are several rooms on the main street, which are the party venues where you can drink as much as you want, and all are free. However, you can only drink in that room, and it is illegal to leave the room."
"What are you waiting for? Go forward?" Lance waved and took a deep and shallow step.
This year's Sundance Film Festival will last 11 days and are divided into two parts. The first ten days are exhibitions, and the last day is the closing ceremony and awards ceremony. In fact, this is the case around the world. "City of God" will premiere on January 21st. At that time, five actors, including Alexander Rodriguez, will come to participate and stay here until the closing ceremony ends.
However, the actors will arrive in Salt Lake City only after the day. Lance and Percy came here early today to attend the opening ceremony of the Sundance Film Festival. It is rare to participate in the global movie event, so naturally you have to enjoy it.
The reason why Sundance is different from other film festivals is that almost all the filmmakers appearing on this stage are strangers, some are newcomers with 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 to business, it is more of a big party for a group of film lovers.
No one can predict whether to meet the rise of the Proof Day star here. Quentin Tarantino, Christopher Nolan rsr-n came out of Sundance. Steven Soderbergh, Coen brothers and others have also shown their talents on this stage. No one can predict how collisions their thoughts will withstand here. Compared to the impetuousness and prosperity of Hollywood, most of the filmmakers who can appear in Sundance are tireless and conscientious and obsessed with the 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 Ross, thank you." He had just drunk a glass of whiskey and walked back and forth in the three rooms that he opened for nearly two hours, gaining a lot. Compared to whiskey, beer was obviously more suitable for the atmosphere here. Sure enough, just after this sentence fell, a voice came from the side, "Excellent choice."
Lance turned his head and looked over, and then he saw a big bearded face, with a dark hair that was only a squat in size still curled up slightly. The dark brown beard seemed to have not been taken care of for a while, but even so, it still could not cover up the bookish atmosphere behind the black-framed glasses. It seemed that he should be staying in the Death Poetry Club more than Sundance.
"What about you?" Lance glanced at the beer bottle on the bearded man's hand. "The Abbey" Ross and the Abbey are both beer brands. Ross is a local brand in Wyoming, while the Abbey is a Belgian beer. "So, I met a big man." Ross was more blue-collar drinking, while the Abbey is often teased as the official beer in Washington because it is too delicate and honey is added to it. The taste is mellow and smooth, as if it has not been withstood the wind and rain.
The bearded man immediately understood the joke in Lance's words and tilted his head, "It depends on the perspective of your view of the problem."
Lance took the beer handed over by the waiter, took a sip, and said with a chuckling, "Then pray that my judgment was wrong, or that the person standing in front of me was a liar." This made the other party laugh, obviously understanding the profound meaning of Lance's words.
This big beard is not a casual character. Although the dense beard makes it difficult to identify the face, Lance still recognizes the other party's true identity Ethan Cohen n-n. The well-deserved leader in the American film industry.
From "Blood Maze" to "Ice and Bloody" to "I have no support for old age", "Thunder of the Earth", and "Drunk Village Folk Song", Ethan and his brother Joel Cohen L-N jointly created it, which can be said to be wonderful in every part of the world
Someone once discussed who Quentin and Coen are the real top figures in the film industry, and the debate cannot be calmed down for a long time. However, in Lance's view, no one can match the talent and talent of the Coen brothers, as well as their understanding of film. What's more rare is that the two brothers always have their own opinions on black humor and the balance of business and art. They may not be correct or successful, but they have indeed walked a path that belongs to them.
"So, what's the harvest today?" Ethan sat down next to Lance and asked casually.
When Diorama Film originally planned to produce the "Three Kings of Escape from Prisons", Lance and the Coen brothers met once, but unfortunately they did not work together in the end, but at least they were not strangers.
Lance searched for a comfortable position in the chair, "I just met a young man who devoted all his belongings to a production for seven thousand dollars. There was a producer willing to give him 20,000 dollars in sponsorship, but he refused because he wanted to maintain his sexuality."
"Young man." Ethan shrugged, "It shouldn't be surprised, isn't it?"
Lance nodded and expressed his affirmation, "The point is that his creativity is very interesting. Four engineers invented a trial and error machine, which has the power to deduce the world's pattern, and then the movie tries to discuss a very interesting philosophical topic. If a person desires to have everything he cannot have, then what else can he expect when all this is realized."
"Wow, this script should be difficult to understand." Ethan took a sip of beer and exclaimed, "But this is also the charm of Sundance, and you can always see countless wonderful ideas."
This is the biggest gain of Lance when he wandered around for two hours. Not only did he have many unexpected ideas, but he could also learn a lot of knowledge through communication between colleagues. Unlike the politeness and alienation of Hollywood industry insiders, in Sundance, everyone opens their hearts and communicates sincerely, which is more like a movie party. "So, what are you special gains?"
In the early days of Sundance's creation, Ethan was a regular visitor to Park City. This was the biggest difference between him and mainstream Hollywood people. He was very willing to communicate with his peers. "I just watched a documentary about the exhibition, my flesh and blood."
"I know I plan to appreciate this movie later, how about it?" Lance's eyes lit up slightly. This documentary tells the story of a single mother named Susan who adopted eleven children with physical and mental disabilities and need special care. They each have different disabilities, obstacles and problems.
"Excellent, very outstanding. The plain lenses are not fancy, but each lens has profound meanings." Ethan gave his praise without hesitation. "In the process of watching the movie, his thoughts can never be calmed down. You know, happiness is always similar, but misfortune has its own different trajectories."
"Tolstoy." Lance nodded. The words Ethan said just now came from Leo Tolstoy. "Then I must go into the cinema to watch." Lance paused and continued, "If you are interested in my flesh and blood, then you will definitely be interested in the City of God."
