Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com
The Sundance Film Festival is still in full swing. For independent films, this is an annual carnival that no one wants to miss. Cheering all night, chatting by candlelight, and wanton enjoyment, in just eleven days, Immerse yourself in the ups and downs of the ocean of the movie world.
At the same time, under the lively scene of the fan party, there is a faint surging tide.
Harvey Weinstein and Bob Weinstein frequently appear in every corner of Park City. On the surface, it seems that they are no different from Sundance in previous years. The two brothers are from the Sundance every year. Danse began to prepare for the new year's awards season, and this year was no exception; but slowly, slowly, rumors began to spread around--
Originally, "Boom Drummer" had hope to participate in the Berlin Film Festival, but in the end Renly chose the Sundance Film Festival, the main reason was "to sprint for the Oscars", with the accumulation of word-of-mouth "Drunk Town Ballad" and "Boom Drummer". The media boosted Renly's publicity, which in turn added leverage for the second phase of "Gravity's" academy PR.
If it is just that, then the rumors are just rumors, and their influence is limited after all. But at the same time, two things happened in Los Angeles and New York outside of Park City:
One is that the word of mouth of "Boom Drummer" is rapidly rising, and the mainstream media in the industry officially promoted Renly to the altar, thinking that "he is an indispensable member of the top contemporary actors"; the other is the interior of "Interstellar". Speaking, Christopher Nolan's filming schedule was forced to speed up due to Renly's relationship, and finally ended a week ahead of schedule.
Things get interesting.
The former confirmed the statement of "academy public relations", as if everyone was endorsing Renly, the prospect of the awards season for "Gravity" suddenly became clear, and the statement calling for Renly's two best actresses also spread like wildfire. Even Harvey Weinstein said at a private party, "Renly's strength is unquestionable, you've seen 'The Popping Drummer' to know, he deserves a second statuette".
The latter shows Renly's urgency. On the surface, he has been absent from the academy's public relations, but he has added leverage to himself through Sundance. From the grand occasion of the symposium to the excitement of the premiere, Renly in Park City has overshadowed it. He has won the limelight of Hollywood stars, has no public relations but better than public relations, established a reputation and won the hearts of the people. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone, and even oppress the "Interstellar" crew.
Everything is proving Renly's "cunning" and "overbearing", and even Harvey "has to" praise, it seems that the whole Hollywood has already agreed with the people, and no one dares to stand up against Renly, if The Oscars are not giving Renly the best actor statuette.
So, things got tricky.
However, Warner Bros. and "Gravity" are in a dilemma and can't argue. Originally it was just a rumor, without any evidence, they explained it solemnly, but fell into the trap of the opponent, and it is easy to describe it more and more; .
After thinking about it, Warner Bros. can only choose to keep a low profile.
At a private party, Emma Thomas jokingly mentioned when chatting with friends, "It seems that Renly has surpassed Matthew McConaughey as the biggest favorite of the year. In order to compete for the golden man, All kinds of nonsense came out, and I heard about the ridiculous anecdotes of the awards season before, but I didn't expect it to happen to me."
Then, Emma Thomas took the opportunity to simply and casually clarify the untrue rumors about "Interstellar Crossing", and implied that such a method of blackening competitors is too familiar, it seems to be the handwriting of the Weinstein brothers- Instead of making serious excuses, I clarified lightly, simplifying the negative effects of things as much as possible.
It is impossible to predict what impact these rumors will have on the college's public relations in the second stage, but what is certain is that the Weinstein brothers have once again demonstrated their exquisite interpretation of the college's public relations. It is able to hit the key point seven inches from the snake.
And everything happened in a small Park City. Although far away from the center of Los Angeles, the Weinstein brothers were still able to use their strengths to make things happen; as for the rumors inside the "Interstellar" crew What came out, even Warner Bros. couldn't investigate.
All I can say is that the timing was really clever.
But in the face of such negative rumors, Renly never came forward to clarify, not even mentioned in private chats, as if he had never heard of it at all, he still went his own way and stayed in Park City without any heart. Indulge in the rave party of the Sundance Film Festival.
Here, Renly and Rooney Mara, Ryan Gosling, Tom Holland and many other friends attended the symposium with Katherine Keener as a guest and actively joined the discussion; that Later, Renly and the Coen brothers went to a small documentary screening and had in-depth conversations with a number of documentary directors.
Here, Renly watched a Somali film "No Net Fishing" with David Fincher and Rooney Mara, and then had a heated discussion at dinner, attracting the participation of other fans; that In the back room, Renly talks with Noah Baumbach and Wes Anderson at another private party about a documentary called "Fu Qiu".
It can be seen from every aspect that Renly is enjoying the atmosphere of a movie fan at the Sundance Film Festival. He has also actively watched many movies, and actively and enthusiastically participated in the discussions. He looks like a fanatical movie fan. It's like attending the Berlin Film Festival before
, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto Film Festival, but the gossip during the awards season has nothing to do with him.
But it is undeniable that Renly's figure has also appeared in every corner of Park City and is particularly active.
Ahead of this year's Sundance Film Festival, Renly organized a "roundtable" on his own behalf—allowing every interested audience to attend.
The so-called "round table meeting" should actually be called a bonfire meeting more appropriately.
At the end of the street in the small town of Park City, surrounded by cliffs on three sides, there was a wide open space now covered with snow, but official Sundance staff cleared a space, and then Renly invited a group of Friends came to the open space, lit bonfires, sat around in groups, and discussed film works and performing arts together, especially the works just released by Sundance this year.
In fact, it is the star version of the official symposium.
The biggest difference is that there is no YouTube online live broadcast, and there is no on-site ticket restriction. Every interested movie fan can come or leave at any time. At the same time, everyone is allowed to express their opinions and opinions, including the main creator of the film crew. Staff are also welcome.
This unique "round table" pushed the atmosphere of Sundance to a high/tide.
According to incomplete statistics, the meeting lasted for nearly six hours. Except for a few core members such as Renly, Rooney, and Ryan, other participants only participated in part of it, and they left the venue. It didn't cause much sensation either, because the discussion on the spot was really too lively and too exciting.
Before and after, more than 30,000 spectators participated in the meeting, and the number of spectators who stayed around the bonfire also exceeded 3,000. The bustling discussion has turned into a group debate, and all the audience and guests are allowed to "flow". ”, change your location anytime and anywhere, and choose the movie works and topics you are interested in.
This seemingly nonsense roundtable meeting has become the highlight of the 30th anniversary of the Sundance Film Festival, not because of the gathering of stars, but because of close communication, breaking the shackles of the stage and lighting, and breaking the The barrier between creators and audiences, truly transforming the festival into a party where every film lover can exchange ideas on an equal footing.
Even Robert Redford himself appeared at the scene and sighed, "If it wasn't for Renly, this would never have happened."
You have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder.
The Weinstein Brothers made frequent small moves, made full use of the current situation with the strategy of killing, and created an alternative opposition frenzy against Renly; at the same time, Warner Bros. suffered a dumb loss without much effort. But this is only the beginning of the second stage of awards season.
But Harvey ignored a small detail. The rumors of the "Interstellar" crew were not released by them. However, he didn't care, because the appearance of this rumor was beneficial to them, and the source of the news was not important - anyway, there are still few people in Hollywood who are against Renly?
Absolutely no one remembers that the news first came from a large party hosted by Andre, and it seemed to spread overnight.
Andrei was not surprised by this.
Andre clearly knows that the rumors are related to Thomas Tour, the Weinstein brothers don't care, the other Hollywood opponents don't care, even Andre himself doesn't need to care, because the whole thing is the core The key point is this: Kevin - Tsujihara's idea, if he believes that it is related to Tour, then Andre's purpose has been achieved.
Whether Kevin-Tsujihara believes, and whether he is willing to believe, is fundamental. As for the evidence, these things were originally rumors, and there was no evidence at all.
Compared with the Weinstein Brothers' activity, Renly is also running around. In sharp contrast to Los Angeles and the mainstream media on social networks, in the small town of Park City, Renly's reputation is on the rise, no matter what. Independent filmmakers and seasoned film lovers, they have developed a deep bond with Renly.
As for awards season?
Renly never seemed to take it to heart. Compared to the momentary brilliance brought by a golden statue, the good times of discussing the film are eternal.
