1730 Miss you very much
In the cold winter, Park City is embracing the busiest and most sensational moment in thirty years. Sundance, which has experienced ups and downs, seems to be facing a turning point of the times just like the turbulent film industry. But is it rising or rising? Landslide, but no one can predict it.
The next day, the Sundance Film Festival ushered in the closing ceremony and awards ceremony, announcing that the 30th anniversary celebration had officially come to an end..
When Renly's figure appeared on the red carpet of the closing ceremony, the scene immediately fell into a state of frenzy. The flashbulbs of the whole venue were mixed with cheers and screams, like a strong wind and rain, pouring down overwhelmingly, covering the blue sky. The ceremony was so tight that even before Renly could get a firm footing, reporters were pouring in with questions from all directions..
“Renly, Renly! There have been rumors in Hollywood these past two days that you made a special trip to Sundance this year just to compete for the Oscar winner. Do you have any response to this?？”
Such a straightforward question did not have the sharp attack as expected. Instead, it had the rush and bustle of a vegetable market. This made Renly chuckle happily, "Thank you.？”
Thanks？
What answer is this?？
“When I last checked, the situation was still different, but now it has suddenly turned around. This should be a good thing. Does this mean that I can look forward to this year's awards ceremony? "Renly was still chatting and laughing, joking with a smile on his face. His brisk and comfortable words made the reporters laugh..
Inadvertently, Renly mentioned something very, very important: During this year's awards season, he has never been popular, and was even the target of attacks. He wasn't before, and he probably still isn't now. So, where are the sources of these rumors? , is it worth savoring further?？
He launched a counterattack calmly. This is Renly's ability. He never looked embarrassed in front of reporters' pursuit and interception..
“However, as I said before, the nomination is already a very important recognition, and it is an honor for me." Immediately afterwards, Renly entered the official social mode again, "As for Sundance, I think such rumors are right. Park City and Robert Redford are disrespectful. This is one of the best film festivals in North America and the world. Movies are the protagonist here. The Vanity Fair noise will stay in the spotlight for the time being. We still I hope to be able to talk about movies and dreams here. After all, there is really not much space left for them to survive now..”
Renly's response was indeed still Renly's.
Sundance is still Sundance, and the reporters’ questions quickly got back on track, “Is it just like yesterday’s roundtable?？”
This made Renly laugh happily, "Yes, it seems like yesterday. To be honest, I have attended many film festivals, but yesterday was still one of the most wonderful moments..”
When he mentioned the movie, Renly's words and expression brightened up again, "Exchanging my thoughts with a group of friends who have the same hobbies, arguing over a movie I like, and getting red-faced over a movie I miss. I am just the purest movie lover who enthusiastically shares the details of my own movie. This is really a blessing, isn’t it?？”
Those light brown eyes sparkled with sincerity and enthusiasm, making every audience member unable to help but become excited..
Immediately afterwards, the questions revolved around Sundance. Compared with the ups and downs of Hollywood, it is obvious that the anecdotes of Park City are more attractive.：
Symposiums that created the miracle of online live broadcasts, "Breaking Drummer" once again had the best performance in his career, surprise screenings of the Coen brothers' series of movies, roundtable discussions that ignited the enthusiasm of movie fans... This year's Sundance does not need the embellishments and embellishments of the awards season at all. Rendering, the topic itself is enough to attract all eyes..
The entire red carpet scene was also filled with a unique and joyful atmosphere, and every corner showed the uniqueness of Park City..
“Renly, you have gained a lot from Sundance this year. So, do you have any regrets? I mean, Robert originally invited Steven Soderbergh, Quentin Tarantino, and Woody Allen, but unfortunately, none of them were able to show up in Park City. Little shortcomings like that, you have What are your thoughts?？”
“Of course, this is a pity." Renly nodded slightly in agreement, "In fact, when we were chatting and arguing with Wes and Noah yesterday, we also mentioned Woody's work. If he could come in person Park City, we discussed some scripts and editing face to face, it will be very interesting. But I think that for Woody and others, similar topics have been talked about too much, and he may not be too interested..”
The relaxed tone once again made everyone chuckle..
“However, this is life, we can always look forward to the next time." Renly said with a smile, "When I first came to Park City, I didn't expect that I would bring my work with me for a second visit. Sundance, unfortunately, many of the familiar faces seem to have disappeared, but more brand-new faces have appeared. Obviously, there is an indescribable mysterious force here that attracts movie lovers, regardless of the cold. Come here. Maybe next year or in the future, I can sit by the campfire with Woody and Quentin and argue over my favorite movies..”
The scene described in a few words made the reporters a little fascinated..
“Renly, the familiar faces you just mentioned disappearing, are you referring to Felicity Jones and Derek Doremus?？”
“After "Crazy Love", the main creative staff took different paths in life. Jennifer Lawrence became the second youngest Oscar winner in film history, Renly became the youngest EGOT in film history, and Felicity and Dre Gram is slightly different.
Felicity is still working hard in the field of independent films. Last year, she collaborated with Drake on the second film "Inhalation", and the leading actor was Guy-Pearce, who had starred in "Memento". Unfortunately, The work received a mediocre response; in addition, she also starred in two other independent films, but they still failed to trigger the "Crazy Love" effect. The young actress's Hollywood journey is still moving forward in a low-key manner..
It is worth mentioning that it is rumored that Felicity passed the audition and will soon play a role in "The Amazing Spider-Man 2".
With "Crazy Love", Drake has established a firm foothold in the independent film circle. From project investment to cast and crew, he has more choices. He first filmed a mini-series "Fantasy Journey". ", and then filmed "Inhalation", but the reputation and feedback of both works were far lower than expected. The past three years seemed a bit quiet, and it seemed that they reached their peak early, and then they could only go downhill all the way..
Despite this, Drake has begun to prepare for his new work. The investment has been secured and actors are now being selected. There are still many rumors in the industry.
Because Felicity and Drake have never left the independent film scene, and so has Renly, it's normal for reporters to make such associations..
In fact, Renly just said it casually. He didn't expect that the reporter would capture the details. He couldn't help but be stunned, and shook his head with a chuckle to express his denial, "No, no, as for Felicity and Drake, we still occasionally We can meet. Not long ago, I met Drake in Burbank. I know that he is preparing a new work. If the time is right, he will definitely come back to Park City again..”
“The familiar faces I just mentioned refer to a group of movie fans." Renly didn't hide anything and directly revealed the answer, but this answer was completely beyond the reporter's expectations..
Renly further explained simply, “When I first came to Sundance, I met many lovely fans, many of whom accompanied me all the way. , many movie fans have participated in it. In the blink of an eye, time flies really fast, I am growing up, and they are also growing up. If I remember correctly, many of them have now entered social life one after another. It’s a shame to miss this year’s Sundance.”
The expressions of reporters on the scene were a little strange. Someone couldn't help but raised his voice and asked, "You mean, you miss your fans?"？”
Renly reacted immediately, laughed heartily, and said without hesitation, "I know, it sounds very official, as if I am deliberately trying to please the fans, trying to use this behavior to create a good image of me. , haha. Now I also feel that something is wrong, but……”
After a slight pause, Renly continued to express his true thoughts sincerely..
“‘On the day of the premiere of "Blast Drummer", I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when I didn't see those familiar faces. I still remember the names of many of them, Hope, Graham, William, Tessa... not all of them, But there are indeed some very impressive fellow movie fans. We can be regarded as friends, at least I think so. But I think, this is life. We all need to grow up and learn to say goodbye. However, when welcoming new faces Sometimes, I still can't help but think of those old friends." Renly always had a smile on his face and said in a brisk tone..
Then he seemed to remember something, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I once read an article before, which said that if we start to recall the past, this is the beginning of aging; so, does this mean that I have begun to become Are you a veteran in Hollywood? Why do I feel a little weird? I regret bringing up this topic now..”
The brisk self-joking completed the turning point quietly, without extending the topic further, but leaving those memories between each other. Only those who have truly experienced it can understand; the easy ridicule made the reporters on the scene The collective burst into laughter, and the atmosphere of the closing ceremony became noisy again..
The smoke-like sentiment slowly lingered on the fingertips, and before it had time to settle, it disappeared amidst the coldness of Park City and the excitement of the red carpet..
