Chapter 1055 1055 The Scene Is Out of Control

On January 19, the 11th Sundance Film Festival kicked off; on January 21, the 52nd Golden Globe Awards kicked off.

At any point in the previous ten years, this is a set of data without any comparison. Almost 99% of the media in the United States will focus on the Golden Globes, even if someone is willing to give Robert Ray. Telford's face, the report on Sundance, the length and strength of the report is absolutely not comparable to the Golden Globes, Sundance can be said to be submerged in the wave of the Golden Globes.

But this year has shown a very different situation. When Hugo rejected the Golden Globes and chose Sundance, almost everyone thought it was a slap in the face by Hugo on the face of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Hugo rejected the star-studded Golden Globes, Rejecting the greatest chance of winning the Best Actor award, rejecting the much-anticipated feast, and choosing a freak carnival in a remote valley is almost an insult, an insult to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, and an insult to the entire Hollywood mainstream. An insult to thought.

The "Chicago Tribune" was gloating and said, "Are you concerned about Sundance or the Golden Globes? I think, I will choose to pay attention to Hugo." The choice of an actor actually created such a stormy sea, which is indeed an unexpected situation.

This is not only the second year in a row that Hugo has refused the Ballon d'Or, but also the second year in a row that he has refused to attend the award as a favorite. If last year, there was still "work priority" brought about by the shooting of "Life and Death" as a cover. , then there is no room for manoeuvre in this year's choice, and the fig leaf is almost torn off directly, making the Golden Globes very embarrassed.

But the Golden Globes can't say bad words, because they are a feast of stars carnival - naturally will not allow any negative news to spoil the mood, and Hugo also sincerely apologized through Rick, and Moved out the "Before Sunrise" propaganda as a shield, so that the Golden Globes can only be swallowed by broken teeth.

More than 40 reporters rushed to Park City in one breath. Of course, such a scene is not comparable to the scale of nearly 200 Golden Globe Awards, but for the Sundance Film Festival, which originally only had less than 30 reporters to conduct interviews, It's just... a real carnival.

At this time, the streets of Park City were like this. When every true independent film lover heard that the strange faces that appeared in town these days were actually reporters, they still came to report the film festival with a friendly attitude. They could hardly contain their excitement, and they cheered and shouted. This lively atmosphere instantly dispelled the cold in Park City.

Nicholas has only just entered the atmosphere of the Sundance Film Festival, and he has fallen in love with this land, not because of how warm and friendly this group of people is, but because of the sincere enthusiasm for movies in this group of people. Perhaps, if a movie wants to survive, profit first is a necessary choice; but if a movie wants to continue its life and vitality, its passion for art and dedication to dreams are always indispensable.

Standing on the land of Hollywood, Nicholas has become accustomed to the intrigues and falsehoods behind the supremacy of interests; but on the land of Park City, Nicholas has once again seen the simplest and most simple movie dream. This feeling is really long gone. .

Nicholas involuntarily began to walk briskly like the others around him, just like Dorothy and her friends who were heading towards Oz. The high mood hung on the corner of his mouth, and he outlined a touch of fun and comfort.

Suddenly, the marching team stopped, not because they had reached their destination, but because they encountered a larger team. At least a hundred people gathered in front of them, almost completely blocking the streets of the town. Live, completely cut off the passage of communication. The town residents on both sides of the street were not in a hurry. They all stood in front of their houses or on the balconies on the second floor, excitedly watching the lively scene in front of them, whistling and shouting twice from time to time, the scene seemed like It's like seeing the noisy scene of a street bullfight.

"What's wrong?" Nicholas asked curiously. In fact, such a scene is often seen at the three major European film festivals. When a popular and widely admired master appears, all admirers will flock to the scene. The entire road was blocked. But at Sundance, Nicholas wasn't so sure: Does independent film now have such a prestigious and powerful authority?

Is it Robert Redford?

"Normal," Kayla said cheerfully, while trying to check whether the crowd in front of her had someone she knew, and casually explained, "You know, maybe Tom. DiCillo."

"Who?" Nicholas boasted that he knew Hollywood very well, but when he heard the name, he was full of question marks flashing.

"Tom DeCiro? The director of 'Living. In. Oblivion'?" Kayla raised her voice with a "you're an idiot" expression, which made Nicholas feel a little embarrassed, and his eyes narrowed. Could not help but drift away. Kayla spread her hands dejectedly, "I'm an idiot, and I don't even think about who I'm talking to." Obviously this was a self-deprecating remark, but it made Nicholas feel a little hot on his cheeks.

As a senior reporter, Nicholas's face is comparable to the city wall. Don't say that Kayla didn't directly target him. Even if he pointed at him and scolded his nose, he would not change his face, but at this moment, Nicholas deeply felt that kind of Shame: The shame of knowing nothing about indie films. Standing on the land of Park City, Nicholas' blood also seemed to gradually boil.

"Yesterday's 'Camera Rhapsody' won a standing ovation. This film is about what happened during the shooting of an independent film, and I think it's a feeling for any filmmaker. Fabulous! Fabulous!"

Kayla said a few words, but after all, she felt that her language was too pale and had to stop and savor it, which made Nicholas feel like an outsider. For the first time, Nicholas developed a strong interest in independent films, not because of the attention Hugo attracted, but because of seeing Kayla's admiration and focus on a work with such a name that he had never heard of, which made Nicholas feel Countless curiosity.

"By the way, Tom and Jim - Jarmusch (Jim. Jarmusch) are good friends! He was the photographer for 'Permanent. Vacation' and 'Stranger. Than. Paradise'!" Kayla finally thought of this key point and said excitedly.

"Ha!" Nicholas immediately understood. When he mentioned Jim Jarmusch, the whole idea became clear immediately. This is one of the most famous independent directors in the United States, and he has repeatedly made his name in international film festivals. In fact, Jim also came out of Sundance at the beginning. He participated in the first Sundance Film Festival and won the Special Jury Award for his work "Stranger in Paradise".

Unexpectedly, Tom Desiro is actually the photographer of "Stranger in Paradise". No wonder it is said that the independent film field is hiding dragons and crouching tigers!

But before Nicholas could react, his attention was interrupted by the screams around him. This familiar scene immediately made Nicholas's mind automatically appear in the image of the red carpet of the Golden Globe Awards ceremony. Nicholas relied on the reporter's instinct to raise his head immediately, and then saw that the size of the crowd of more than 100 people in front of him had almost doubled. At this time, half of the street was filled with people, and everyone was screaming frantically. , shouting enthusiastically, this scene makes Nicholas have an illusion: Is this the Hollywood Hilton Hotel?

This time the Golden Globe Awards ceremony was held at the Hilton Hotel.

But Nicholas looked back and looked around. It was still snow-capped Park City. The simple streets and shabby buildings revealed a strong sense of desolation, but when he looked back, the turbulent crowd was no different than the Golden Globe Awards red carpet. Give more. "Kyla!" Nicholas turned his head to look for the little girl just now, and asked what was going on, but he couldn't find Kayla, and there was only a constant crowd of people around.

Nicholas stood on tiptoe and searched around, but unfortunately he still didn't see Kayla's figure. There were more and more people at the scene. It was not so easy to find a specific object. After hesitating for a while, Nicholas was helpless. Can only run forward quickly. As a journalist, finding opportunities to capture news in a crowded crowd is an essential skill.

Nicholas kept squeezing forward from the crowd, but instead of squeezing towards the center, he drilled towards the area where the crowd was not so dense. After finding the door of the house next to him, he climbed there in three or two strokes. On a tree stump with almost only branches left, he looked down and looked down, and he immediately saw the scene in the field at this time.

There are three people gathered in the center. The reason why they say three people is because these three people are tightly against each other's backs, and they can't move at all. Even if the crowd is crowded, they can still clearly see the three The figure of the individual is like a huge rock in the turbulent current - it is just that the surrounding waves are constantly beating, as if this rock can be shattered at any time.

Taking these three people as the center, they circled around in circles. From Nicholas's point of view, there were at least two hundred people at the scene, completely blocking the street, and there was no way to move. At this time, the scene became a scene of people inside who couldn't get out, and there were still people piling up outside, and the order at the scene was completely out of control.

"Hugo! Hugo...I love you", "Oh, God, God, God! Hugo, woohoo...", "Hugo, marry me, Hugo!", "Ahhhh... ...Lancaster! Ah..."

At this time, it was Hugo who was blocked in the center and could not move, only Hugo.
