One Thousand Seven Hundred and Thirty-One Closing Ceremony

When Hope-Baze read this article in The New Yorker, she was waiting for a traffic light at an intersection.

Wearing a rose red short skirt suit, a long black woolen trench coat, and a pair of peacock blue stiletto high-heeled shoes on the soles of her feet completely opened up her aura. After only working for half a year, she The reborn change has been completed, and the youthful and lively youth of the student days are strictly wrapped under the work suit, showing a completely different and capable style.

He holds a coffee tray in his left hand with four cups of coffee on it, and his work bag is slung over his elbow. The heavy bag is stuffed with work materials and looks like it should weigh more than thirty pounds; in his right hand he holds his own work bag. On the mobile phone, I was quickly browsing the work emails, my mind was running fast, and then I logged out of the mailbox, and quickly opened the "New York Times", "The New Yorker" and other authoritative media, and briefly learned about today's important news. Ready to do the job.

The crowd at the crossroads is crowded, black suits making phone calls, white shirts answering text messages, yellow skirts reading newspapers, gray suits constantly looking at watches, red ties cursing traffic jams... a small The small intersection of traffic lights condenses the life of the whole world, and Hope is also one of them, an insignificant and insignificant member, in the midst of noise and noise, hurriedly chasing the footsteps of life, but can't tell the difference clearly Busy to numbness, or tired to numbness.

Just then, she saw her name.

Suddenly, Hope was stunned.

But before he had time to react, the red light turned into a green light, and then the crowd surged like a torrent, leaving no breathing space, pushing Hope to keep moving forward, and Hope could only instinctively Step out and follow the crowds across the zebra crossing of the crosswalk.

When the footsteps came to the center of the street, among the surging and boiling crowd, Hope stopped abruptly, and the crowd of people still kept hitting her shoulders, but she was firmly on her feet. Standing on the spot, motionless, and then the emotions completely collapsed like this, standing there and crying, even I can't tell whether the emotion on the tip of my tongue is bitter or sweet, but I just cried out happily, like a Lost child.

People came and went, and countless eyes noticed Hope's embarrassment, but no one was willing to stop for her. Everyone was immersed in their own world, too busy to have time, or too indifferent to have time.

The green light turned red again, and the crowd on the crosswalk had disappeared, but Hope still stood there, as if he had lost all his strength. He squatted down, surrounded by the noise of the horns, and hugged him tightly. On his knees, he cried bitterly, all the coffee spilled on the ground, flowing slowly, the steaming smoke lingering around, but more and more outlines the lonely and lonely thin shoulder.

She missed Renly, she really, really missed Renly.

"So we've arrived, a lonely place where we can't go back, you're the face that made me go through fire and water, that's the name that the children will inherit, the charm, the crown."

The familiar melody reverberated in the back of his mind, and Hope himself didn't know what was going on, and the inexplicable grief rushed unscrupulously.

...

For Don Quixotes, this is a call of youth. The concert of "Dream Back to the Gas Lamp Bar" was only a month ago, but it seemed like a lifetime.

But for others, it doesn't make any sense.

On the social network, many netizens complained that Renly was "pretentious". They thought that such behavior and such remarks were just an image project by Renly. It was jerky and rigid, ugly and shameless, and they completely teased the fans as fools. That false appearance of a snake is really disgusting.

This also verifies the sentence: when you like someone,

Everything is right; but when one hates a person, everything is wrong.

Don Quixotes just gave a simple response to this, "You are not one of them", the meaning inside and outside the words is really simple: those sunspots are not real fans or music fans at all, just Not even Don Quixote, they didn't understand what was going on, they just followed suit.

The label "You are not one of them" firmly expressed the attitude of Don Quixotes amid the overwhelming denunciations on social networks.

That's enough.

In fact, even the news media are not interested at all. The "New Yorker" is the only media that reports such news. Other media do not think it is worth paying attention to. The focus of all topics is limited to social networks. It seems to be lively and vigorous, but even the discussion among netizens is very limited.

If Renly was really going to open up the academy's PR situation in this way, it would be a major mistake.

Those haters and netizens all said gloatingly, "The eyes of the masses are sharp, and no one cares about Renly's fake performance." It didn't last long, and those discussions and complaints were like bubbles, quickly drowned in the Internet In the sea of ​​​​information, most netizens have not even had time to realize the "event", and the matter has vanished without causing any waves.

On the contrary, the label "You are not one of them" has continued on social networks. Every Don Quixote is silently adding labels, telling their fate and stories with Renly, and sharing their current Life is like an old friend. Although the physical distance separates each other, the spiritual bond allows the friendship to continue.

This is yet another story.

The closing ceremony and awards ceremony of the Sundance Film Festival is still underway.

In celebration of its 30th anniversary, Robert Redford has worked hard to make the festival a feast for the eyes, and to further the development of the independent film industry.

It is a pity that the living space of independent films has been severely compressed in recent years. After four consecutive years of blowout, Sundance has been facing a gradual decline for two consecutive years. You can feel the level of your works at the registration stage.

In this year's film festival, Robert moved frequently, breaking the fixed pattern of Sundance continuously, making different attempts, and looking forward to harvesting more changes in the future; but these efforts are temporarily invisible, at least from this year's main competition unit From the point of view, the noisy competition pattern in previous years is gone forever, which also makes the awards ceremony lack the competitive spark, and the whole scene is a little dull.

The audience awards were announced first.

In the world film section, the two works "Kidnapping Marriage" and "Son of Hamas" stood out in the drama and documentary categories respectively; in the main competition section, "Boom Drummer" and "Music Life" were in the drama and documentary categories respectively. The class completes the summit. This is an award chosen entirely by audience votes, and can be compared to Toronto's People's Choice Awards.

Next is the director's award.

In the world film category, "Fifty-Two Tuesdays" won the story category, and "20,000 Earth Days" won the documentary category; and in the main competition category, the Somali film "No Net Fishing" topped the story category. The award-winning documentary "Trial of Proposition 8" is more socially realistic, and this work is also considered to be possible in the awards season.

Then came the Special Jury Prize.

Back then, Renly won the Special Jury Award for "Crazy in Love", specifically for his outstanding performance in the movie; and tonight, this award has also attracted countless attention, because Renly was in "Boom Drummer". The wonderful performance in the film is also widely regarded as the best moment of the entire film festival, especially the rivalry between Renly and Simmons, which is even more impressive, which also means that Renly is very hopeful to win the Special Jury Award again. .

But the final award was a little surprising—for the special jury award, it was not a shock; but because many details and events of this year’s film festival are pointing to Renly, it seems that Renly has been confirmed early. The unique position of Sundance, when the results were announced, did not match expectations, which was surprising. After looking back and thinking about it, the uniqueness of the special jury award cannot be predicted according to common sense.

In the World Film category, "God Help That Girl" was honored in the Drama category, while "We Are Friends" was honored in the Documentary category.

In the main competition section, in the drama section, the soundtrack team of "Treasure Hunter Kumiko" and the director of "Dear Caucasian" Justin-Simien received awards; and in the documentary section, "Night Sleeper" won awards. "Intuition for the film's inspiration and the lighting team for "Sky Watchers" were praised by the award.

Obviously, the soundtrack team, the lighting team, the selection of materials and the talent of the director, this is the selection of the special award by the jury, which once again proves that this is a very, very special award, almost all aspects of the entries can participate in the selection. Focusing on Renly's performance, his eyes seemed too narrow.

The reason is the reason, the specific situation is not so simple.

After the awards were announced, the audience's gazes were still sparse, and if they seemed to project towards Renly, the meaning in the corner of their eyes was really hard to describe in words, but it was like a light on the back. Reminds Renly all the time: his every move is now attracting attention, if his current performance is a little inappropriate, it is estimated that it will not take long before the relevant rumors will spread to Hollywood.

The spotlight mode that follows the shadows extends from the stage to life. Renly can't help but feel helpless. Park City is still like this, so what will happen to Los Angeles?
