Everybody, everybody.

The bustling crowd jammed the steps at the entrance of the movie venue, and the crowd of people spread out in the sight, outlining a thick ink color in the recklessness and coldness of the snow, like splashing ink, simple but spectacular.

Originally, people stood in place, gathered in twos and threes, buzzing conversations surging in the air, the biting cold air dancing wildly on the surface of the skin, and many people were forced to either stomp their feet or rub their hands together to keep warm, trying to dispel the cold's confinement and restraint.

Still, the excitement and excitement that flickered on the faces were unaffected.

There are young people in neat clothes and suits and leather shoes, whose fledgling vigor and vitality flow out between gestures and still have good expectations for the future, and there are also sloppy middle-aged people with vicissitudes of life, who are still trying to hide their nameless difficulties and embarrassments after the Vanity Fair of Hollywood, but they are still hidden in the dirty collar and crumpled coat.

There are also old fritters who have gone through ups and downs and are familiar with the world, although they lack talent and cannot achieve achievements in artistic creation, but they still rely on their own hard work, hoping to occupy a place in the field of film, turn around and tell those laymen about their "brilliant deeds", find their own sense of existence in those adoring and amazed eyes, the little halo stolen from Hollywood seems insignificant, but it is the whole light of their lives.

But at this moment, no matter what they are wearing, no matter what age or class, no matter what situation or status, their eyes are shining with a similar brilliance, and the enthusiasm between the eyebrows and the dancing is bubbling up, and you can feel the pure joy and happiness between your gestures, from movies, dreams, from your friends, and from life.

That's why Lan Li loves the festival so much.

Here, all the additional labels are torn off, and in the end, he only retains his identity as a "movie fan", opens his arms, wanders in the image world constructed by the film, quietly peeks into another world behind the real and illusory camera images, and briefly forgets everything he has in real life.

Even though it was freezing outside, it still couldn't stop their enthusiasm.

When the first sight noticed the appearance of Lan Li and the Coen brothers, the buzzing chatter calmed down one after another, there was a magical infection effect, and then you could see the crowd gathering towards Lan Li and the others little by little, just like a magnet attracting pins, hulala, and in a blink of an eye, the whole crowd of people in the audience flocked together, and the order of the scene suddenly became hot and crazy, and this scene couldn't help but remind people of the erupting volcano.

"Lan Li, I really, really enjoyed your performance in 'Drunken Country Folk', which made me go back to that folk era in the sixties, you know? It was a wonderful and turbulent time, wasn't it?"

"Lan Li, personally, do you prefer the performance of 'detachment', or 'me who fights cancer'. I've watched the movie 'Me Against Cancer' over and over again, and I think people underestimate your performance. In the camera, you seem to be able to really feel the pain of cancer, and this kind of performance reminds me of the despair and struggle in 'detachment', what do you think?"

"Master, Master, after watching 'Gravity', I realized for the first time that the chemistry between the performance and the camera can reach such a level, do you think there is more possibility if 3D technology is used to present a three-dimensional space and show the emotional level of the protagonist in a three-dimensional way?"

Questions. Questions. Or ask questions.

All that lingered in Lan Li's ears were professional questions, not just shouting or screaming, but questions of substance, obviously many film creators appeared on the scene today, whether they were professional or amateur, at least they have their own views on film production, as for whether it is correct or not, it varies from person to person.

Although it has only been held for 30 years, it is not inferior to the three major European film festivals in terms of the knowledge and ability of the participants. In a way, this is where Robert Redford's pride and confidence lie.

But obviously, the here and now is not the best place to answer questions. This was followed by a face-to-face discussion where they could sit and communicate in the warmth of the room.

Lan Li and his entourage were like boats sailing against the current, slowly passing through the turbulence of the crowd, rowing out an arrow-shaped white wave, and walking all the way towards the screening hall in front of them.

"Lan Li. ”

When their footsteps had come to the front of the steps, standing at the main entrance of the movie theater, a figure squeezed out of the crowd, and lay on the road of Lan Li to continue to move forward, because it was too turbulent and too crowded, his steps were almost unsteady, and he was about to stagger, but his face still shone with a bright and confident smile, like golden sunlight tearing through the winter cold and spilling down.

"I want to follow in your footsteps and become an actor, a real actor! You know what? Sitting in the cinema and watching your performances, 'Gravity' and 'Drunken Country Ballad', it's really a pleasure and a shock! I can really feel the soul baptism hidden in the performance, you are a great actor! I want to be an actor like you. ”

In the midst of the noise, the confident and energetic words carried the wanton and flamboyant of young people, as if no difficulties and obstacles could stop their footsteps, and the whole world was unfolded in front of their eyes, with the beauty of the ivory tower and the happiness of fairy tales, looking forward to their future.

Perhaps the pessimists will say that this is really too naïve and too simple, and the cruelty of society will soon extinguish those hopes, but Lan Li is more willing to say that he hopes that the momentum that is not afraid of heaven and earth can persevere, and break out a world of his own, even if his head is broken, he will not give up easily.

Because on the other side of life, where time flies, vicissitudes of life, and things are people, we will miss the self who once believed that we could change the world with our hands and explore the world with our feet, but ...... Youth is so short, fleeting, and withered before it could bloom.

"Thank you. Lan Li's thoughts were really too turbulent, in the young man in front of him, he saw his former self, who had just been reborn with infinite hope, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, but before Lan Li could continue to say anything, the lively crowd swallowed the young man again, gradually drifted away, and disappeared into the crowd in a blink of an eye.

I want to be an actor like you.

That sentence echoed in his mind again, and after recalling this sentence, Lan Li couldn't help but feel a little excited, like thousands of butterflies flapping their wings in unison in the lower abdomen, excitement and excitement made his feet step on the clouds, and happiness filled his chest like this.

Unknowingly, he also became someone's role model.

Just like "Truman's World", Steven Spielberg and Marlon Brando are to him, step by step guided him to the path of an actor, found his dream in the world of movies, and bloomed his own color, and his life finally bloomed like a summer flower.

Now, too, he has become a beacon on the vast sea of the long dark night.

This feeling is really subtle and strange, and a sense of satisfaction arises spontaneously, making the steps light and the shoulders heavy, and at this moment, Lan Li finally felt the persistence of the Robert and Coen brothers, and finally really felt the significance of the Sundance Film Festival.

It's definitely not just a film festival, it's not just a place for film lovers, it's a land where artists can breathe freely, and in this snow-covered soil, Sundance sows the seeds, and then waits quietly for spring to take root and grow into a dense and thriving forest.

The surging push of the crowd made Lan Li's footsteps continue to move forward passively, and then entered the indoor space of the movie theater, and the crowding and noise around it gradually dissipated.

"Wow!" At this time, Lan Li was able to let out his own sigh, and looked back at the crowd of people outside the door again, and couldn't help but shake his head again and again to express his disbelief, "I thought that the symposium would be a maximum of two hundred people, but obviously I underestimated the appeal of Sundance in the field of independent films. ”

It's not presumptuous, but the objective fact is that Lan Li is not a famous artist or a master - he is still too young, and this is not a fan meeting or press conference - the number of participants naturally cannot be calculated according to the convention, and he is only an actor - not a director or producer involved in the creation of the film. In Lan Li's opinion, it is already very grand to accommodate two hundred people, and there is even a need to worry about whether it can be filled.

Hearing this, Joel and Ethan exchanged glances, and a meaningful smile appeared on their faces.

Lan Li noticed such a small movement and frowned slightly, "What's wrong?"

Joel took the initiative to speak, "There is no queue at the door to enter the venue, and since eight o'clock in the morning today, there has been a long queue at the entrance of the venue, they are just to participate in your symposium, haven't you noticed?"

"I thought it was the queue for the premiere of 'Nightstayer,'......" Lan Li said subconsciously, and then the words were cut off, looking at Joel and Ethan in disbelief.

Ethan nodded, "Yes, that's what you have in mind right now. It really happened. ”
