077 thunderous applause

Lance sat quietly on the chair, his left hand unconsciously clenched into a fist, and his thumb gently rubbed the side of his index finger, but even so, the boiling brain still couldn't cool down. Read the book w·w^w^.-1·k^a-n·s^h/u·./c,c,

This is not the first time he has watched the finished product after the editing of "City of God", but it is the first time he has seen his work on the big screen in a cinema, a work of his own written script and directed by him.

He originally thought it was just a trivial matter, because he had experienced many films, some of which he was the producer; because he directed many dramas and appeared on the stage, from his student days to Broadway outside and outside; because he was no longer a child, the ups and downs he experienced made him mature enough and calm enough... But, different, it was still different after all.

Looking at the big screen, the giant caught up with the little ghost head gang, and everyone disappeared at the end of the alley with laughter. The surging thoughts in my mind instantly drowned him, the restlessness of putting his works on the big screen for review and judgment by the audience, the throbbing of telling his thoughts and ideas through the camera and story in the hope of finding resonance, the excitement of completing a wonderful story so that the audience can relax and have fun... It is like the mood of a primary school student showing his scientific research project in front of teachers and classmates.

The most important thing is that this is his "City of God" which is not Fernando Merrils' "City of God" and Lancelot-Straello's "City of God". He succeeded in doing this!

Suddenly, his hands clenched into fists, and the restlessness surrounding his body was controlled, and he calmed down. Lance warned himself that this was just the beginning, this was just the first step, this was just his first work, and the time to come is still long, and it is still far from the time to be overwhelmed by happiness.

The boiling blood slowly cooled down, and Lance only drew attention to observe the reactions around him. Lance always believed that for any movie, the audience is the most important reference standard - including ordinary audiences, professional audiences, media reporters and film critics. Movies are an art, but they must first be an art that can be accepted by the public.

In the long river of history, there are countless works of art that are high and weak. Vincent Van Gogh is undoubtedly the most famous. During his lifetime, his works were never appreciated and only sold the only oil painting. Half a century later, Van Gogh became one of the most famous artists in the world, and his works have become treasures in the palace of art. However, during his lifetime, he was just a wanderer who was self-admiring and struggling in his own world. His poor life tortured his short and gorgeous life.

What's even more cruel is that among many artists or works of art that are so popular, they are rare. ╣┟Reading┞w-w`w·.=1=k`a·n=s`h^u-./cc

True art requires confidants who know how to appreciate and fanatical audiences. Therefore, after a century of film exhibition, how to find a balance between business and art is still the goal that every film practitioner and every film creator is striving to pursue.

The importance of audiences has been pushed to the extreme in the film festival. Because, above the film festival, film works do not need to consider box office or commercial achievements, and audience feedback and professional opinions are the only criteria for measuring works. Sundance Film Festival is particularly so because it is a stage that truly belongs to filmmakers.

Lance looked at the reactions of all the audiences around him with his eyes, but the heat in his heart gradually began to become cold, because there was a dead silence around him, without any sound, let alone any comments. Even Jessica Alba, who was sitting next to him, fell into endless silence.

This is not a good sign.

Lance once heard that when some movies were screened at the film festival, the audience left the seat voluntarily, and more than one or two movies. Today, the audience did not curse or leave the seat voluntarily, but after the film was finished, the scene was silent. Even a layman with no experience knew that this was not a good phenomenon - this was a bad and terrible situation. ≡∧ to see ≦≦≧book≥≧∥∥∉∥∥∉∥w╳w╋w┼·1╳k╳a╋n┼s╳h╋u╳·c

This made Lance a little panicked. He turned his head slightly and looked at the reporters. The area where the film critics were doing was still dead, as if it was just a group of terracotta soldiers sitting in the dark. Lance gently grinded his teeth, preventing his true emotions from leaking out, trying to calm himself down, but this was not an easy task - because this is the Sundance Film Festival, and the audience doesn't like this movie, but they don't like it. Even if he uses the power of the media to point out deer as a horse, he has no way to make "City of God" find a company, and there is no way to let "City of God" deceive the audience's box office in art theaters.

But, is the finished product of "City of God" really that bad?

This thought flashed through Lance's mind. To be honest, he might not be able to say that he is better than the original, but it is definitely not inferior. He can admit it confidently.

But, he is the director, he is the producer, he is the seller's market, and his comments do not count.

"First it's Ethan Cohen, Joel Cohen, Paul Giamatti... and then there's the critics, by the way, there's Robert Redford... and then the reporters from major newspapers... and then there's a discussion meeting to discuss face to face with the audience..."

Lance's brain has begun to work quickly, thinking about how to use the resources in his hands to control the situation as much as possible, not only to avoid further deterioration, but also to open up more situations for the movie. ∧ to read ≡books? ≡∧≈≦≡≦w╬w╬w╬·1╋kanshu·c·c If "City of God" cannot find a business and cannot make a profit, Chaos Pictures will face bankruptcy... He will never give up easily.

"Ba! Bapa!" The crisp and rhythmic applause sounded alone, echoing gently in the screening room. This interrupted Lance's thoughts, and he couldn't help but turn his head and look at it in the sound. Then Lance saw Joel standing up, "Is that Joel or Ethan?"

In the darkness, Lance was a little uncertain. But judging from his reaction before the movie was played, Joel was not interested in him, and even a little repulsive, so it should be Ethan?

The lonely applause echoed in the quiet space, but there was no passion at all. Instead, it only made the atmosphere on the scene more awkward, highlighting the lurking and dullness of other audiences, almost making people think that this was the most direct and cruel irony of "City of God". That scene made people unbearable to look at it.

So, it should be Joel?

At this moment, another person stood up next to the figure, and the two stood side by side, and the applause began to overlap. Suddenly, people stood up in all directions in the screening room, as if it was a chain effect. After turning on the first switch, they couldn't stop. People stood up one after another and then joined in the applause.

The applause of "papapapapapa" gathered into a crowd, and the momentum began to rise step by step.

The previous second was still thinking about how to minimize the damage, and then the previous second was thinking about whether the black hand who mocked and mischievously played was Ethan or Joel. The next second was shocked by the scene where he stood up like a beat of a gopher. Lance was stunned for a second, only for a second.

Jessica also stood up, urging her hands vigorously, her eyes flashing with crystal light, and she looked at Lance with concentration and excitement. Her sexual lips opened gently, and the curve of the corners of her mouth showed inner excitement and excitement. Alexander Rodriguez, Leonardo Firmino and others were panicked, watching the people around her stand up in a daze, and then urging their hands to them. The simple young men stood up hesitantly and began to applaud as if they were like this.

When Lance saw Alexander and Leonardo and the others' blank expressions, he couldn't help laughing. The curve of the corners of his mouth was outlined with absurd and helplessness, and he burst out with a chuckle.

But this was not the end. Everyone in the screening room stood up, and even Percy and Hayden stood up, slapped their palms at the same time. The crisp sounds of the collision between the palms and palms gradually gathered together, allowing the air inside to slowly warm up.

A muffled sound of "bang" was drowned in the applause. The lights in the screening room slowly lit up. The milky yellow lights fell down like a waterfall. The darkness disappeared like a tide in an instant. The scenes in the screening room were extremely clear in front of you.

Three hundred viewers stood up together, densely packed like a undulating forest, towering into the clouds, compressing the space in the screening hall, filling every corner of their sight, and in a trance, it seemed like three thousand people could be seen; those blurred faces in the light were all with similar excitement and excitement. The applause at the scene rose step by step with the brightness of the light, and eventually turned into a tsunami of mountains and roaring, sweeping over with an unstoppable momentum, hitting the walls of the screening hall, shaking endless echoes, making people feel an illusion that the whole world is shaking.

All eyes, all eyes, and all applause were concentrated on Lance. The temperature of attention was dancing on the skin, as if all the pores on the body were standing up. The sensational and hot sounds bravely hit the heart, stirring the blood, holding the body, as if... it was like a gentle flapping of wings, and you could fly immediately.

All emotions swarmed in an instant, so mixed that they could not be distinguished clearly.

Robert, who was standing not far away, cast a gaze and hinted with his eyes, "Go forward, you should go forward." Then, he pointed forward with his slammed hands and nodded to Lance encouragingly. Then, Lance stood up and took a step forward.

The applause immediately went to a higher level!
