1699 Collective heckling
"Young Master, I'm yours!"
"Young Master, I'm yours!"
"Young Master, I'm yours!"
The shouts were endless, bustling across the entire red carpet, everywhere in sight, and even the male audience members joined in the fun, roaring one by one, and the atmosphere became even hotter.
Today is the day of the world premiere of "Burst Drummer", this independent work has always stood on the cusp of the storm since the start of filming, positive and negative, all kinds of opinions emerge in endlessly, and it has never stopped, and the eyes of anticrative eyes have gathered boilingly, whether it is a mule or a horse, after all, it still needs to be pulled out for a walk, and now it has finally arrived, and the attention of Peng Bang has reached its peak, all of which are ignited and detonated in Park City.
It has been three days since the Lanli symposium, but in just three days, the popularity has risen instead of decreasing, more and more people have watched the live video replay, and more and more people have watched the last two wonderful circle fan segments, and the discussion frenzy has been rising, as if it has become the biggest hot spot at the moment.
Originally, the main reporters stayed in Los Angeles, the second phase of the awards season officially unveiled, and the next month or so was the most lively and cloudy time, and then rushed all the way to the Oscars, Los Angeles and New York are the birthplace of all the news, and naturally no one wants to leave.
But now, leading reporters from major authoritative media outlets realize that Park City's news hotspots have overtaken awards season and are creating even more sensational news, coupled with Robert Redford's grand plans, no one can easily ignore this year's Sundance Film Festival.
Before you know it, a large number of top journalists are gathering towards Park City. Now that awards season is in full swing, it's definitely a rare sight to see that Sundance is enjoying its thirtieth anniversary in an unprecedented way, and Robert Redford is happy to open his arms to welcome all journalists.
The premiere of "Burst Drummer" was once again the absolute focus of attention, with more than 250 journalists and more than 800 spectators – not counting the audience who successfully secured tickets for the premiere, and so on, the Sundance Film Festival was the only one in the world, even if it was compared to Toronto.
Although the film cast has no star to speak of, and even the only female character Melissa did not arrive in Park City, which also makes the whole crew look extremely deserted, but the red carpet of the premiere is not lacking in starlight at all, Robert Redford and the Coen brothers have personally arrived on the scene to cheer for the blue ceremony, David Lowe, Catherine Keener and other independent filmmakers who have made a special trip to Sundance to hold a symposium have also appeared on the red carpet, Ryan Gosling, Rooney Mara, The appearance of friends such as Tom Holland added stars to the red carpet.
However, the biggest surprise of the day came from the appearance of the likes of Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach, who attracted attention this year's awards season with "Frances Ha", and now made a special trip to Park City to attend the premiere of "Burst Drummer", whether it is because of the mutual support of the East Coast arts faction or because of the personal friendship of Lan Li, which is very rare.
Wes, Noah and other independent directors, they represent the most literary, petty bourgeoisie, and self-conscious group of artistic creators on the East Coast. Each director has his own distinctive characteristics, and refuses to change or compromise, interpreting life and creating art from his own perspective, and directors like Alexander Penn and David O. Russell who have lost their own style are the objects of "refusing to be in the same stream" in their eyes.
And so it is.
Alexander Payne and David O. Russell have been on the road to the Oscars in recent years, and have become more and more stable and high, and have occupied a place in Hollywood, while Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach are still ignored by the Oscars, the former has been nominated for the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay twice for "The Rising Kingdom" and "The Tronnbaum Family", and the latter has been nominated for Oss Best Original Screenplay once for "Squid and the Whale", but ...... That's all.
This year, Noah's "Frances Ha" was well received on the East Coast, and the critics' outpost and the film festival received numerous praises and love, but it still did not win the Oscars.
Wes and Noah have always refused to change themselves for the Oscars, and they have refused to compromise with the more commercial and mainstream film industry on the West Coast, so they stubbornly stick to their own artistic style, but they also enjoy themselves, winning the popularity and love of a small number of audiences, and there is no need to worry too much about film investment.
Their persistence may seem meaningless to mainstream audiences, but for the film industry, their creations are an integral part.
To some extent, David Fincher and the Coen brothers hope for the perfect state, but they are still inevitably constrained by the Oscars because of the attributes of their works, and the Sundance Film Festival needs artistic creators like Wess and Noah to emerge one after another.
Among them, Noah participated in Sundance in 2005, and the exhibition is the only one that has been sought after by mainstream critics so far.
Overall, though, Wes and Noah are still more active on the East Coast, and if it weren't for the Blue Rites, they wouldn't be at Sundance this year. This is undoubtedly a very important addition to Robert's grand plan.
From actors to directors to producers, the red carpet of the premiere of "Burst Drummer" was unexpectedly star-studded, and such a strong lineup at Sundance was enough to make the audience lose their minds.
But the real climax came when Lan Li appeared.
Rooney's prediction was accurate, and when Lan Li and Damien Chazelle appeared side by side on the red carpet, the above scene occurred, and all the fans on the scene began to shout "I am yours", and the hot scene was really unbearable.
Prior to this, the reason why the organizing committee arranged the symposium three days before the premiere was to reserve time so that the popularity of the symposium would increase the attention of the "Burst Drummer" crew, and at the same time, it would not be too lively to affect today's serious affairs.
But now it seems that the influence of Lan Li is far beyond imagination, after three days of getting along day and night, the symposium still did not cool down, but just fermented to the most wonderful moment - everyone can't wait to join the topic, the heat has completely exploded, and it has spread out mightily.
In fact, today the preparation of the crew of "Burst Drummer" is relatively haphazard. First, there were not many crew members, second, the Sundance premiere was not so grand, and third, Damien had no appeal as a rookie director, so Damien chose to appear on the red carpet with Lan Li.
Then, Damien regretted it.
How could he have forgotten Lan Li's powerful appeal? Everywhere he arrived, it was a volcanic eruption, and he followed him, and suddenly it became difficult to move an inch, didn't he?
At the moment of arriving at the red carpet, Damien really felt the super popularity of the Blue Ceremony, and the whole audience erupted into a tsunami-like turbulent wave, vigorously rushing to the face, and the powerful air wave almost made people unstable, making people feel the strong influence of the Blue Ceremony in an incomparable and direct way, as if it was comparable to the scene of the three major European film festivals, even compared with Cannes.
Damien was overwhelmed for a moment - he only felt ringing in his ears, dizzy, unsteady on his feet, and the gurgling screams completely overwhelmed him, and he was almost unable to breathe. Such a battle, for Damien, is completely another new world, and his first reaction is to "run away".
But apparently, it's too late.
Damien's panicked appearance made Lan Li smile happily, approached Damien's side, and found his voice in the stormy waves, "Just get used to it." ”
Damien shook his head with a sad face, with a look of admiration and insensitivity, "I don't want to get used to it." The drooping eyes and the corners of the mouth were almost about to cry.
Before Lan Li could continue to respond, a new round of screams erupted at the scene, instantly swallowing the voices of Lan Li and Damien, like a huge wave falling down directly, and then you could see Damien's bitter melon-like expression, and every cell in his body was screaming: I want to leave.
Damien, who has always been shy and low-key, after leaving the set, is like a goldfish leaving the pond, and Lan Li strongly doubts that he is about to pass out on the red carpet. knew that such a scene should be serious, but Lan Li couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Young Master, I'm yours!"
The sound of one after another was surging and rolling above the eardrums, not uniformly but in all directions, and all the audience shouted in different ways, swarming from all directions, surrounding Lan Li and Damien, with nowhere to escape, and even creating an echo effect that covered the audience tightly!
Not only the audience, but even the reporters shouted up and down, teasing Lan Li in this way, the jokes one after another, deeply full of ridicule, compared to the roar and shock just now, it reduced some force, but added a touch of funny in the hustle and bustle.
Damien, who was bent on escaping, couldn't help but laugh, and looked at Lan Li with some schadenfreude, like a child who saw his little friend out of trouble, simply and purely immersed in happiness, and then stood stupidly at the beginning of the red carpet, watching Lan Li completely caught up in the encirclement of the audience's shouts.
Suddenly, there was a shout from the side, "Damien!"
Damien's smile froze at the corners of his mouth, and he jumped up like a frightened rabbit.
