1729 Undercurrents are rising
The Sundance Film Festival is still in full swing. For independent films, this is an annual carnival. No one wants to miss it. They cheer all night, hold candles, talk and enjoy wantonly. In just eleven days, Let yourself be immersed in the ocean of the movie world.
At the same time, under the lively scene of the movie fan party, there is a faint undercurrent..
Harvey Weinstein and Bob Weinstein frequently appear in every corner of Park City. On the surface, it seems that Sundance is no different from previous years. The two brothers attend Sundance every year. Dance began preparing for the new awards season, and this year was no exception; but slowly, slowly, rumors began to spread.——
Originally, "Bangkong" had hoped to participate in the Berlin Film Festival, but in the end Renly chose the Sundance Film Festival. The main reason was "to rush for the Oscar", relying on the accumulated reputation of "Drunken Country Folk" and the reputation of "Bangkong" Promoted by the media to build momentum for Renly's publicity, and then add chips to the college's public relations in the second phase of "Gravity".
If it were just that, then the rumors would be just rumors, and their influence would be limited after all. But at the same time, two things happened in Los Angeles and New York outside Park City.：
One is that the reputation of "Crack Drummer" is rapidly rising, and the mainstream media in the industry officially promoted Renly to the altar, believing that "he is an indispensable member of the top contemporary actors"; the other is the inside story of "Interstellar" According to rumors, Christopher Nolan's filming schedule was forced to speed up due to Renly's relationship, and was finally completed a week ahead of schedule..
Things get interesting.
The former confirmed the "academy public relations" statement. It seemed that everyone was endorsing Renly. The prospects for the awards season of "Gravity" suddenly became clear. Calls for Renly to be awarded the second Best Actor Award also spread like wildfire. Even Harvey Weinstein said at a private party, "There is no doubt about Renly's strength. You will know it after watching 'The Big Banger'. He deserves a second statuette."”.
The latter illustrates Renly's urgency. On the surface, he is absent from the college's public relations, but he adds leverage to himself through Sundance. From the grand occasion of the symposium to the excitement of the premiere, Renly, who is far away in Park City, overshadows him. He stole the limelight of Hollywood stars, did not have public relations but was better than public relations, established reputation and won the hearts of the people. It can be said that he killed two birds with one stone, and even oppressed the "Interstellar" crew..
Everything proves Renly's "cunning" and "dominance". Even Harvey "has to" praise him. It seems that the whole of Hollywood has already won the support of the people. No one dares to stand up against Renly. If The Oscar did not award the Best Actor statuette to Renly, as if it was unforgivable..
So, things became subtle.
However, Warner Bros. and "Gravity" are in a dilemma and can't argue. Originally it was just a rumor without any evidence. They solemnly explained it, but fell into the trap of their opponents, and it was easy to get darker and darker; but If you just leave it alone, the rumors will become more and more intense, and the atmosphere will not be right..
After much thought, Warner Bros. could only choose to keep a low profile..
At a private party, Emma Thomas jokingly mentioned while chatting with friends, "Now it seems that Renly has surpassed Matthew McConaughey and has become the biggest favorite this year. In order to compete for the statuette, All the nonsense came out. I had heard those ridiculous anecdotes about the award season before, but I never thought it would happen to me..”
Then, Emma Thomas took the opportunity to simply and casually clarify the false rumors about "Interstellar", and hinted that the way of portraying competitors in such a way was too familiar, and it seemed to be the handiwork of the Weinstein brothers—— Instead of defending solemnly, he clarified in an understatement and tried to simplify the negative impact of the matter as much as possible..
It is impossible to predict now what impact these rumors will have on the college's public relations in the second phase, but what is certain is that the Weinstein brothers have once again demonstrated their exquisite interpretation of the college's public relations. It seems invisible but is actually a sharp attack. Is it possible to hit a vital point seven inches from the ground?.
And everything happened in the small Park City. Even though they were far away from the center of Los Angeles, the Weinstein brothers were still able to use their strength and opportunity to make trouble; as for what the rumors inside the "Interstellar" crew were like. It came out of nowhere, and even Warner Bros. couldn’t investigate it internally..
All I can say is that the timing is so clever..
But in the face of such negative rumors, Renly never came forward to clarify, or even mentioned it in private chats. It seemed as if he had never heard of it at all. He still went his own way and stayed in Park City heartlessly. Enjoy the carnival party at Sundance Film Festival.
Here, Renly, Rooney Mara, Ryan Gosling, Tom Holland and other friends attended the symposium where Catherine Keener was a guest, and actively participated in the discussion; In the car, Renly and the Coen brothers went to a small documentary screening and had in-depth conversations with many documentary directors..
Here, Renly, David Fincher and Rooney Mara watched a Somali film, "Fishing Without Nets," and then had a lively discussion over dinner, attracting the participation of other movie fans; In the car, Renly, Noah Baumbach and Wes Anderson talked about the documentary "Fuqiu" at a private party.”.
It can be seen from all aspects that Renly is enjoying the fan atmosphere of the Sundance Film Festival. He has also actively watched many movies and actively participated in discussions. He looks like a fanatical fan. Just like when he attended the Berlin Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, and Toronto Film Festival before, the rumors during the awards season have nothing to do with him..
But it is undeniable that Renly's figure has also appeared in every corner of Park City, and he is particularly active..
Before this year's Sundance Film Festival came to an end, Renly also organized a "roundtable" in his own name - allowing everyone interested to attend.
The so-called "round table meeting" should actually be more appropriately called a bonfire meeting..
At the end of the street in the small town of Park City, surrounded by cliffs on three sides, there is a wide open space, now covered with white snow, but the official Sundance staff cleared a space, and then Renly invited everyone Friends come to the open space, light a bonfire, sit around, and discuss film works and performing arts, especially the works that were just released at Sundance this year..
In fact, it is the star-studded version of the official symposium.
The biggest difference is that there is no YouTube live broadcast and no on-site ticket restrictions. Every interested movie fan can come or leave at any time. At the same time, everyone is allowed to express their opinions and opinions freely, including the main creators of the film crew. Staff are also welcome.
This unique "roundtable discussion" pushed the atmosphere of Sundance to a climax.
According to incomplete statistics, the meeting lasted for nearly six hours. Except for a few core members such as Renly, Rooney, and Ryan, the other participants only participated in part of it, and their departure It didn't cause much excitement, because the discussion on the spot was really too lively and exciting..
Back and forth, more than 30,000 spectators participated in this meeting, and the number of spectators who stayed around the campfire also exceeded 3,000. The bustling discussion has evolved into a group debate, and all spectators and guests are allowed to "flow" ”, change your position anytime, anywhere, and choose the movies and topics you are interested in.
This seemingly nonsensical roundtable discussion became the highlight of the 30th anniversary of the Sundance Film Festival, not because the stars gathered together, but because of the close communication, which broke the shackles of the stage and lighting, and also broke the shackles of the stage and lighting. The barrier between creators and audiences truly turns the film festival into a party, allowing every film lover to exchange ideas on an equal footing.
Even Robert Redford appeared at the scene in person and lamented, “If it weren’t for Renly, this would never have been possible..”
You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder.
The Weinstein brothers made frequent small moves, taking advantage of the current situation in a new way with flattery strategies, creating a different kind of opposition frenzy against Renly; at the same time, it didn't take much force to make Warner Brothers suffer a dumb loss. But this This is just the beginning of the second phase of the awards season..
But Harvey ignored a small detail. The "Interstellar" crew rumors were not released by them. However, he didn't care, because the emergence of this rumor was beneficial to them, and the source of the news was not important. - Anyway, there are not many people in Hollywood who are against Renly right now.？
Absolutely no one remembers that the news first came from a big party Andre threw and it spread seemingly overnight.
Andre was not surprised by this.
Andre clearly knows that whether the rumors are related to Thomas Tull, the Weinstein brothers will not care, nor will other opponents in Hollywood. Even Andre himself does not need to care, because the core of the whole thing The key point is: Kevin Tsujihara’s idea, if he believes that it is related to Tour, then Andre’s purpose has been achieved.
Whether Kevin Tsujihara believes it or not, and whether he is willing to believe it, is fundamental. As for the evidence, these things are just rumors and there is no evidence at all..
Compared with the activeness of the Weinstein brothers, 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 rising steadily, no matter what. Whether they are independent film creators or senior film lovers, they have all established a deep bond with Renly..
As for awards season？
Renly never seemed to take it to heart. Compared with the momentary glory brought by a statue, the good time of discussing movies is eternal..
