369 Unconventional appearance
Harvey's face was filled with a big smile, and his originally small eyes were narrowed to a slit, and all his expressions and thoughts were hidden in the smile..
Standing next to him was Bob Weinstein..
Bob's eyes widened, and there was a kind smile on his lips. He did not hide the look he was looking up and down in his eyes, with a hint of amusement, a hint of joking, and a hint of surprise. Renly didn't know that Harvey was How to describe yourself to Bob, but obviously, there must be a lot of content.
“So, this is the famous Bob? "Faced with Harvey's teasing, Renly also hit back with the same teasing..
However, Bob didn't seem to be satisfied with Renly's response. After Harvey's introduction, the two shook hands. Bob seemed very perfunctory, just touching and then letting go. The light scrutiny and contempt between them is like a short sharp thorn, inconspicuous, but sharp enough.
“It seems that you are the real winner in Park City this time." When Harvey spoke, his eyes fell on Jessica, but a simple sentence contained too many meanings, and he was joking. , and some sarcasm.
“Really? "Renly's eyebrows raised slightly, and there was a little more playfulness in his eyes. "I have always thought that Weinstein's philosophy is that the winner is the one who laughs to the end." This was a mockery of Harvey. Taking risks for the sake of victory, and not resorting to any means for the sake of profit.
Harvey smiled even brighter, his eyes almost disappearing, "Facts, facts." He repeated the same word several times in a row, and then patted Bob on the shoulder, "Today's young people are indeed full of impact. It seems that we must be fully prepared..”
Bob laughed dryly, but there was not much respect in his eyes..
After seeing off Harvey and Bob, Jessica looked Renly up and down, left and right, and her probing gaze made Renly spread his hands helplessly. She said half-jokingly, "Before, I heard that you offended these two brothers. I was still half-convinced. Now it seems to be true. Why, what happened between you two?？”
“I am just an actor, and I have no right to offend these two brothers." Having said that, Renly's expression did not mean to belittle himself at all. On the contrary, the shallow smile remained calm and calm, which made Jessica laughed brightly, and then nodded repeatedly, "One of their hairs is thicker than our thighs..”
“Are you sure this is a compliment? "Renly frowned, with a puzzled expression on his face, which made Jessica purse her lips and reveal an incomprehensible expression..
Entering the screening hall, Renly and Jessica were separated because their seats were in different directions..
Compared with award ceremonies such as the Oscars and the Golden Globes, the closing ceremony and award ceremony of the Sundance Film Festival seemed a bit crude, even shabby. The main venue was just the previous screening room, and the chairs were still regular movie theater chairs. , no red chair cushions were wrapped, and there was no deliberate decoration. Everything continued the previous simple and realistic style..
It is not so much an award ceremony as it is a summary of the closing ceremony. There are no performances and no media interviews. The organizers will express their recognition of the outstanding works and filmmakers at the film festival in a concise and warm way..
There are many awards at the Sundance Film Festival, including the Audience Award, Jury Grand Prize, Special Jury Award and Director Award. Each department will be divided into two units: Documentary and Feature Film. This year, due to the worldwide participation The number of films has increased, so the official has added two units under each section, the world film unit documentary and the world film unit feature film.
The many awards and departments are really dazzling. However, the award that truly represents every year's Sundance Film Festival is the Jury Grand Prize, which is equivalent to the Palme d'Or in Cannes, the Golden Bear in Berlin, and the Golden Lion in Venice..
Needless to say, this is the top priority every year.
Renly found the "Crazy" cast members among the crowd. Everyone's faces were filled with excitement. This year's trip to Sundance was indeed a dream for the "Crazy" crew. Fantasy, not only was it widely praised, but the publisher was finalized before the closing ceremony. Things developed smoothly, far beyond imagination..
After everyone was seated, the award ceremony began. There was not even an opening ceremony. Just a host walked onto the stage and gave a simple thank you, and the awarding guests came on stage..
The first one to be announced is the Audience Award. Just like Toronto’s People’s Choice Award, the Audience Award is also voted by the audience. It can be said to be an award that people want..
This year's Sundance was a bit dull overall, but there were still many topical works, such as "Forever Car God", "Project Nim", "The Man From Hell", etc. in the documentary, and "Double" in the feature film. "Martha", "Tyrannosaurus", "Another Earth", "Crazy Love", etc., these are all very popular and highly recognized..
However, the list of winners of the Audience Award was an upset. "Crazy Love", which had a record of continuous sales of 15 shows, lost to "Family Environment", a work filmed in the United States that focused on Iranian life. There was a sound of astonishment at the scene.
The Audience Award and the Jury's Selection are two systems, which means that the same work can win in both parts at the same time, and there is no conflict. Judging from the audience's response in the past few days, almost everyone There is no suspense in thinking that "Crazy Love" won the Audience Award in the feature film category. The result is really shocking..
Even the crew of "Family Environment" looked shocked and couldn't believe it..
Renly turned his head and could see Derek's disappointed look at a glance. His shoulders slumped heavily, without any concealment..
Unlike the Golden Globe Awards, at the Sundance Awards Ceremony, because there are no live cameras, no one needs to hide their emotions, and no one needs to be coy and show that they don't care at all. What's more, everything here is Unruly independent filmmakers. They can show their true nature - who knows if these independent filmmakers will appear next year?？
For Drake, the best chance for "Crazy Love" is actually at the Audience Award. Especially in the past few days, it has been so popular that his hope of winning the award has soared. In comparison, among the jury's choices Among them, works with more social depth such as "Martha", "Tyrannosaurus", and "Asylum" have greater opportunities..
But he didn't expect that he would miss out on the Audience Award at the beginning. Naturally, Drake couldn't hide his disappointment..
After taking a long breath, Drake got back on his feet and applauded the crew of "Family Environment". Because Drake knows better than anyone else how difficult it is for independent filmmakers to move forward. , being able to shine on a stage like Sundance is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of their hard work and dull dreams..
Then, Drake noticed the concerned eyes on him. When he turned his head, he saw all four actors in the crew looking over. Such uniform movements really gave him an inexplicable sense of joy. This made Drake laugh..
Renly and others exchanged glances and couldn't help but smile. Then they all looked away and gave their own applause..
The director awards that followed were uneventful. The director awards in the world section went to "Project Nim" and "Tyrannosaurus" respectively. However, there was no documentary department in the local section, and the feature film department was awarded to "Double-Faced Masha". "Sean-Durkin won.
“"Martha" also had great success at this year's Sundance. It was not only the debut of director Sean, but also the debut of heroine Elizabeth-Olsen, but it was criticized by film critics. Many affirmations.
Especially Elizabeth's performance, she showed the kind of cult fanaticism and a state of collapse and confusion. Her flexible performance won a lot of applause. The youngest sister of the Olsen family has a bright future in Hollywood. It is worth it. One thing to mention is that she is the same age as Renly.
The next award is the Special Jury Award.
The Special Jury Award is a major feature of Sundance. Corresponding to the Jury Grand Prize, the Special Award is awarded to the "most special link"”.
For example, 2007's "Sail" won awards for its dramatic physical and psychological transformations, and 2008's "America Everywhere" won awards for its unique and eclectic independent spirit. , 2009's "Precious" won the award thanks to Monique's wonderful performance.
In addition, sound effects, photography, script, casting, original perspective, bold selection of materials, etc. are all within the scope of awards. In other words, this is every step Sundance takes to encourage independent filmmakers and stimulate film production. Awards specially set up for each link. Of course, the film itself, director, producer, performance, etc. are also included..
If the grand prize is to reward the completeness and completion of the entire work, then the special award is to specifically reward a certain part of the work. Or if the movie is very good but not good enough to win the grand prize, then the special prize is awarded..
For independent filmmakers, the special award is even more important than the grand prize. After all, the grand prize appreciates the integrity of the work, while the special prize appreciates the independent individual more. This also means that the special prize is Sundance The most competitive department, every guest present may become a winner.
The award guest was Mark-Ruffalo, an actor who later became famous all over the world for the Hulk. Before entering the public eye, he had been very active in independent films. Recently, he was also famous for "Kids Are With his outstanding performance in "Very Good", he became a popular candidate for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor..
Mark attended Sundance last year with his directorial debut, "Mercy," and his acting feature, "The Kids Are All Right," which were so well-received that he returned as an award presenter this year..
After taking the stage, Mark took the lead in awarding two awards in the world category, belonging to "Another Earth" and "Forever Car God" respectively. Then the two awards in the local category were also announced one after another. The winner of the documentary category was "Becoming Imo: A Puppet Man's Journey," while the winner in the feature film category was——
“Renly Hall, 'Love Crazy'’.”
