Harvey's face was filled with a big smile, his already small eyes were narrowed into a slit at this time, and all his looks and thoughts were hidden in the smile. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Standing next to him was Bob Weinstein.

Bob's eyes widened, a kind smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and he did not hide his look of looking up and down in his sight, with a hint of playfulness, a hint of fun, and a hint of surprise. Lan Li didn't know how Harvey described himself to Bob, but it was clear that it must have been very informative.

"So, this is the famous Bob?" Faced with Harvey's ridicule, Lan Li also fought back with the same ridicule.

However, Bob didn't seem to be happy with Lan Li's response. Under Harvey's introduction, the two shook hands, and Bob looked very perfunctory, just touching them, and then letting go. The faint scrutiny and contempt between words and deeds is like a short spike, inconspicuous, but sharp enough.

"It seems that this time in Park City, you are the real big winner. As Harvey spoke, his eyes fell on Jessica, a simple sentence that contained too many meanings, banter, and mockery.

"Really?" Lan Li's eyebrows raised slightly, and there was a little more playfulness in his eyes, "I always thought that Weinstein's philosophy was that the one who laughed to the end was the winner. "This is a satire of Xavi's risk-taking in order to win, and not sacrificing any means for profit.

Harvey smiled even wider, his eyes almost gone, "Facts, facts. He repeated the same word several times in a row, and then patted Bob on the shoulder, "Today's young people, it really impacts, it seems that we have to be fully prepared." ”

Bob chuckled dryly, but there wasn't much respect in his eyes.

After sending Harvey and Bob away, Jessica looked Lan Li up and down, left and right, and Lan Li spread her hands helplessly with that inquiring gaze, and she said half-jokingly, "I heard before that you offended these two brothers, and I was still skeptical. Now, it seems, it seems to be true. What, what's going on between you?"

"I'm just an actor and I don't have the qualifications to offend the two brothers. Having said that, there was no pretension in Lan Li's expression, on the contrary, the shallow smile still maintained calm and composure, which made Jessica laugh brightly, and then nodded repeatedly, "One of their hairs is thicker than our thighs." ”

"Are you sure it's a compliment?" Lan Li frowned, and a puzzled expression made Jessica purse her lips with an unfathomable expression.

Walking into the screening hall, Lan Li and Jessica were separated, as the two of them were seated in different directions.

Compared with awards ceremonies such as the Oscars and Golden Globe Awards, the closing ceremony and awards ceremony of the Sundance Film Festival looks a little shabby, even shabby, the main venue is just the previous screening hall, and the chairs are still regular cinema chairs, without wrapping red chair cushions, nor deliberately decorated, everything continues the previous simple and realistic style.

It was not so much an award ceremony as a summary meeting of the closing ceremony. There will be no performances or media interviews, and the organizers will express their recognition of the works and filmmakers who shine at the festival in a concise and warm way.

The Sundance Film Festival has a lot of awards, including the Audience Award, the Grand Jury Prize, the Special Jury Prize and the Director Award, each of which will be divided into two sections: documentary and feature film.

The many awards and categories are truly dizzying. However, the awards that can really represent the Sundance Film Festival every year are the Grand Jury 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, that's the most important thing every year.

Lan Li found the members of the "Love Crazy" crew in the crowd, and everyone had an excited look on their faces, this year's Sundance trip was indeed a dream for the "Love Crazy" crew, not only was it widely acclaimed, but also before the closing ceremony, the distributor was finalized, and things went smoothly, far beyond imagination.

After everyone was seated, the award ceremony began, and there was not even an opening ceremony, just saw a host walk on the stage, simply thanked him, and the award presenters came on stage.

The first to be revealed is the Audience Award, which is the same as the People's Choice Award in Toronto, and the Audience Award is also voted for by the audience, which can be called an award that people want.

This year's Sundance is a little dull overall, but there are still a lot of topical works, such as "Forever Car God", "Project Nimes", "Hell's Returnee" in documentaries, "Two-Faced Martha", "Tyrannosaurus", "Another Earth", "Love is Crazy", etc., which are all very popular and highly recognized.

However, the list of winners of the audience award was unpopular, and "Love Crazy", which was finally fixed at 15 consecutive sales records, lost to "Family Environment", a work focused on Iranian life shot in the United States, which caused a wave of consternation 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, which is not in conflict. Judging from the audience's response in the past few days, almost everyone thinks that there is no suspense in the feature film unit that won the audience award for "Love is Crazy", and the result is really out of sight.

Even the "Family Environment" crew was shocked and couldn't believe it.

Lan Li turned his head, and at a glance he could see Drake's disappointed look, and his shoulders drooped heavily, without the slightest concealment.

Unlike the Golden Globes, at the Sundance ceremony, no one had to hide their emotions because there was no live camera presence, and no one had to say that they didn't care at all. What's more, it's all about unruly independent filmmakers. They can show their true temperament – who knows if these independent filmmakers will be able to show up next year?

For Drake, the best chance of "Love Crazy" is actually at the Audience Awards, especially in the past few days, where the popularity has skyrocketed. In contrast, in the jury's selection, works with more social depth, such as "Double-Faced Martha", "Tyrannosaurus Rex", and "Seeking Refuge", have a greater chance.

But he didn't expect to miss the audience award at the beginning, and Drake naturally couldn't hide his disappointment.

With a long exhale, Drake picked himself up and gave the "Home Environment" crew a round of applause. Because Drake knows better than anyone how difficult the path forward for independent filmmakers can be, 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 gaze that fell on him, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw that the four actors in the crew all looked at it in unison, and there was really an inexplicable sense of joy in such a uniform action, which made Drake laugh.

Lan Li and the others exchanged glances, and they couldn't help but smile, and then they retracted their gaze one after another, and also gave their own applause.

The director awards in the world section went to "Project Nemes" and "Tyrannosaurus Rex" respectively, while the documentary department of the local unit was absent, and the feature film department was won by Sean Deggin (Sean-Durkin) of "Double-faced Martha".

"Double-Faced Martha" was also a great deal at Sundance this year, not only as director Sean's debut, but also as the debut of the lead actress Elizabeth Olsen, but it received a lot of praise from critics.

Elizabeth's performance, in particular, showed that cult/cult fanaticism and state of collapse, and her free-flowing performance won a lot of applause, and the youngest sister of the Olsen family had a bright future in Hollywood. It is worth mentioning that she is the same age as Lan Li.

Next up was the Special Jury Prize.

The Special Jury Prize is a special feature of Sundance, and as opposed to the Grand Jury Prize, the Special Prize is awarded to the "most special part".

For example, 2007's "Sail" was honored for its dramatic physical and psychological transformation, 2008's "America Everywhere" won the award for its unique and eclectic independent spirit, and 2009's "Cherish" won the award for Monique's brilliant performance.

In addition, sound effects, cinematography, scripts, casting, original perspectives, bold material selection, etc., are all within the scope of the award. In other words, Sundance has created an award to encourage independent filmmakers and inspire every aspect of filmmaking. Of course, the film itself, the director, the producer, the acting, and so on are also included.

If the grand prize is to reward the completeness and completion of the entire work, then the special award is to reward the work of a certain link. Or, if the film is so good but not good enough to win a big prize, then a special award will be awarded.

For independent filmmakers, the special award is even more important than the grand prize. After all, the Grand Prize appreciates the wholeness of the work, while the Special Award appreciates more of the individual. This also means that the Special Award is one of Sundance's most competitive departments, and every guest in attendance can become a winner.

The award was presented to Mark-Ruffalo, an actor who later became popular all over the world because of the Hulk, who had been very active in independent films before he rose to the public eye, and recently became a popular candidate for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor because of his outstanding performance in "The Children Are Fine".

Mark returned as an award presenter this year after attending Sundance last year with his directorial debut "Mercy for Deliciousness" and actor work "The Kids Are All Right".

After taking the stage, Mark took the lead in presenting two awards in the world section, which belonged to "Another Earth" and "Forever the God of Cars", and then the two awards in the local section were also announced, the winner of the documentary category was "Becoming Imo: A Puppeteer's Journey", and the winner of the feature film category was-

"Ranley Hall, 'Love is crazy'. ”
