Chapter 59 Interests come first
Wested Cinema is located in the heart of Pike City, and the entire theater is medium sized and well equipped with playback equipment.
And because of the geographical location, the flow of people is more than other theaters, and this kind of theater is a sought-after product during the Sundance Film Festival.
So from the location of the movie theater, John can see that Nancy has worked hard this time. And after this period of getting along, John also clearly felt that Nancy's hostility towards him was slowly weakening, and he believed that Nancy would definitely be a good helper for him in time.
During the entire Sundance Film Festival, there is only one screening of "Stealing Love", and if the screening effect is good, then you can also apply for an additional screening, but the tickets have nothing to do with the participants, so many participants generally do not apply for additional screenings after finding a buyer, because this will consume a part of the audience.
At half past one in the afternoon, John showed up at the Wested Cinema with Dani and Nancy, and they arrived at the right time, the last movie had just finished, and dozens of audience members were walking along and commenting on the movie.
"What is filmed in this movie, the picture is too blurry......"
"Waste an hour and a half of my ......"
"It's okay that the picture is blurry, the camera keeps shaking, I want to throw up......"
John listened to the audience's comments, and he knew that the director and cinematographer of this movie must be novices, otherwise the camera would not shake and make people want to vomit, unless it was intentional. But this kind of intentional first-person shooting will not be available in 1990, and it will only appear in the new millennium, when DV shooting is popular, and the best of them is "Blair the Witch".
John shook his head and threw these things out of his brain, the end of this movie means that the screening of "Stealing Love" is about to start, so he has no time to pay attention to other people's movies.
After communicating with the festival staff, John handed over the copy of the film to the broadcaster staff and told Dini to keep an eye on the play in the playback room to avoid accidents.
The high-definition videotapes of those movies that flow out of the market are often stolen by the broadcasters, who copy the movies for profit and sell them to third parties.
There is still more than half an hour before the reflection of the movie, Nancy stared intently at the door of the theater, today's screening will decide the fate of "Stealing Love", so she is very nervous.
But fortunately, the location of the cinema is good, and in ten minutes, more than 30 audiences have entered the cinema one after another, and the occupancy rate is much better than those in the corner of the cinema.
"Ariana, let's find a theater to rest! I can't walk......"
Perez, who was dragged away by Ariana, looked panting and puffing, taking advantage of the winter vacation, she and Ariana came to Pike City together, ready to experience the Sundance Film Festival, but when they watched a few movies in a row, they were disappointed in their hearts, these movies are either the camera shaking, or the actors' acting skills are not in place, either the screenwriter is too idiotic, or the picture is too poor, not at all like those films shown in the cinema.
"Okay Perez!Let's get some rest! But dear, you should get more exercised! You didn't even walk a few steps to get tired like this!" Ariana didn't really want to drag Perez around, but after watching a few movies, she was very disappointed, so she was determined to find a good movie from the many screening venues, so that she could live up to her visit to Pike City.
"Ariana, look at this movie theater, it's just about to show a movie. Perez pointed to the sign at the entrance of the screening venue.
"The name "Stealing Love" looks pretty good! It's just that the director's name, John Chris Deng, has never heard of it! I don't know what the quality is. Ariana looked at the promotional poster posted on the door of the theater and choked her mouth.
"Honey, let's go in and take a break! If the movie isn't good, we'll be out in ten minutes." "Perez really doesn't want to go.
"Okay......" Ariana pulled Perez to buy 2 movie tickets, and then walked into the movie theater.
After Ariana and Peres stepped into the cinema, another person came to the door of the theater, wearing a black coat tightly wrapped around the bumpy figure, short blond hair scattered at random, a pair of blue eyes looking at the movie poster at the door of the theater, and the two willow eyebrows on the fair face were slightly wrinkled, obviously looking pensive.
"Is this a movie with the theme song "WhenYouBelieve", but how could such a movie come to the Sundance Film Festival?" Joey Koch frowned and walked to the ticket office to buy a movie ticket and walk into the cinema.
As Joey Koch walked into the theater, two more people walked at the door of the theater.
"Hey, Abt, I didn't expect to meet you here, it's amazing. Bud Hill said as he looked at the filmmakers from Miramax Films, who were full of fat brains in front of him.
"Aren't you here too?" Abt Lewis replied to Umbo Studios producer Bud Hill.
And Bud Hill smiled awkwardly when he heard Albert Lewis's words, "Haha!"
Everyone knows that "Stealing Love" was banned by Michael Ovitz in Hollywood, and everyone has also received Michael Ovitz's promise, but a promise is just a promise after all, and only tangible benefits are king.
So before Abt Lewis and Bud Hill came to the Sundance Film Festival, the company's boss specially asked them to pay attention to "Stealing Love" to see if it was worth shooting.
But it's not just Miramax and Universal Pictures who have this idea, as buyers from other studios have come to Westted Cinema after Bard Hill and Albert Lewis walked into the theater.
Among them, there are not only first-tier film companies, MGM, Warner, 20th Century Fox, but also many second- and third-tier film companies, Lionsgate, Touchstone, Castle Stone, .......
They came to watch "Stealing Love" for only one purpose, that is, to see if the movie could bring them profits, although they promised Michael Ovitz to refuse to release "Stealing Love", but the 6.12 million copies of the original soundtrack sales of "Stealing Love" gave them no reason to refuse.
It's like having two coins on the ground, and when they are allowed to pick up one of them, they have to see which of the two coins has a larger denomination, so that they can maximize their benefit.
Of course, there are also companies that come to Westted Cinemas out of curiosity to see what happens to Michael Ovitz's banned movie!
If this lets Michael Ovitz know that for his own reasons, he has indirectly attracted buyers from several film companies for John, I don't know if he will smash the phone again.
When the movie was about to play five minutes away, Nancy, who had been walking around the movie theater, happily came up to John and whispered, "John! I just looked around and found that there are several film company buyers sitting in it, and it seems that the sales of our soundtrack have successfully attracted these companies." ”
John shrugged his shoulders after hearing Nancy's words: "Isn't that what Hollywood is all about? ”
