Chapter 19: Sundance Film Festival

January 25, Park City, Utah, USA.

At the Sundance International Film Festival, at the entrance, a Rolls-Royce slowly stopped, and the ceremonial staff of the film festival immediately stepped forward to open the car door, and then a Chinese teenager in a black suit walked down with a smile on his face and a decent demeanor.

The etiquette staff of Sundance movies were stunned, it seems that in memory, there is no such young actor in the European and American entertainment circles, right? Despite the doubts in his heart, the etiquette staff still waited with a smile, anyway, the invitation will be verified later, and if there is no invitation, hehe, then I'm sorry.

The Chinese teenager just nodded and smiled at the etiquette staff, then turned around and walked to the other side of the Rolls-Royce, opened the car door, and led a Chinese girl in a white dress down.

"Hello, I'm Williams Lin, and here's my invitation!" The Chinese teenager brought the Chinese girl to the ceremonial staff and handed an invitation to the ceremonial staff.

The ceremonial officer took the invitation and looked at it, and his heart was shocked, and then, out of the way, he bent down and stretched out his right hand to make a gesture of please.

The Chinese teenager nodded, smiled at the Chinese girl, and strode into the film festival, this teenager is naturally Lin Han, and the girl is the assistant Yang Yi.

Yang Yi participated in the film festival for the first time, and after looking around, she pulled Lin Han's sleeve with a little nervousness, and said, "Brother Han, I, I'm a little nervous, I don't know how to speak later, my spoken English is not very good!" ”

When Lin Han heard this, he took a deep look at Yang Yi and said confidently: "Don't worry, there is me in one qiē!" ”

Somehow, after hearing Lin Han's words, it was clear that he was nearly ten years older than Lin Han, but after Lin Han said a word, Yang Yi, who was originally nervous, quieted down, and the nervous feelings gradually disappeared.

This feeling is very strange, at this moment, in Yang Yi's eyes, Lin Han is no longer the 14-year-old boy, but a mature and stable middle-aged uncle, or the kind with a successful career, which makes people feel very relieved, he is like a mountain, giving people a sense of security.

Yang Yi didn't know, in fact, her feeling was very correct, Lin Han was a golden supporting role in his previous life, he had been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, and after he was reborn, he naturally brought out this temperament.

Looking at the crowd coming and going at the scene, looking at those strange and familiar filmmakers, Lin Han had a sense of abruptness.

Founded in 1984 by Robert Redford, the Sundance International Film Festival is the world's premier independent film festival.

Many of Hollywood's emerging directors have seen the Sundance Film Festival as a springboard to mainstream Hollywood commercial blockbusters, and many of them have been successful over the years.

Hollywood studios also attend the Sundance Film Festival to find high-quality new directors, so the Sundance Film Festival is also a must-see human resource pool.

Sundance International Cinema takes place over 10 to 11 days from January 18 to 28 each year.

This year, it is the 18th Sundance International Film Festival, and there are Hollywood producers, unknown new directors and actors, as well as Hollywood first-line directors who have been famous for many years, and all kinds of people, etc., gathered at the Sundance International Film Festival to make it a huge vanity fair.

Unlike those who came to look for opportunities, Lin Han came to accept the award this time, although the official notice that he was only nominated, Lin Han was not worried that he would not win the award.

Because, the short film he made this time is called "Chainsaw!!

With these four words, Lin Han has enough confidence to win the award, because the fame of "Chainsaw" in the previous life is too great.

The low-cost system of $100,000 and the creativity of superhuman are different from the mainstream horror film style in Europe and the United States, as for Lin Han's own Chinese identity, Lin Han is not worried.

Originally, the Sundance International Film Festival was designed to counter mainstream Hollywood films, and if Lin Han was treated special because of his Chinese identity, then the Sundance International Film Festival would be tantamount to digging his own grave and making fun of his reputation.

Originally, Lin Han wanted to bring Huang Fanglin, the assistant director, along, together, but things happened to catch up, and a large-scale production of Haohan Pictures needed manpower, so he could only shoot first and let Lin Han come to the Sundance International Film Festival by himself.

Before coming, as a senior, Huang Fanglin was a good student and instructed Lin Han about etiquette, but he didn't know that Lin Han had participated in such a movie in his previous life I don't know how many times, he was worried in vain.

In fact, Lin Han took Yang Yi to naturally integrate into the Sundance International Film Festival scene like a fish swimming into the sea, exchanging a few sentences with the director for a while, running over there with a glass of champagne and talking and laughing with an actor, and stopping in front of the screen of a certain platform for a while, commenting on a certain movie, and hitting the nail on the head.

Those Hollywood producers, independent directors, actors and others were very interested in the sudden arrival of a Chinese teenager at the scene, and they were all asking what Lin Han was about, and they were very satisfied with the well-behaved and personable Lin Han, and they all subconsciously thought that the children of a wealthy Chinese family had come to the film festival to play.

After a few hours of wandering around the scene, the clock is pointing to half past eight, and today is the day when the Sundance Film Festival's last award, the Short Film Award, is announced.

"Distinguished gentlemen and ladies, good evening, and welcome to the Sundance International Film Festival Short Film Awards tonight!" A light-haired and energetic host smiled into the microphone on the stage and bowed to everyone present, receiving a round of applause.

The announcement of the short film awards was held in an auditorium, surrounded by about 100 people, which seemed a little empty, without the pomp and circumstance of the Oscars.

Because Lin Han was one of the nominated directors, he sat in the second row, and Yang Yi sat next to him, looking at the scene curiously.

The atmosphere was very relaxed, not as tense as other award ceremonies, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Next, the host released several nominated short videos on the screen one by one, during which there were witty remarks, which made the atmosphere very lively.

"Well, here's the exciting time, the winner of the best short film at this year's Sundance International Film Festival is "Chainsaw" !!" The host let out a long sigh, created a little suspense and revealed the answer, "Let's welcome the director of "Chainsaw" to come up and accept the award!" ”

After the host finished speaking, the spotlight shook a few times, and hit Lin Han's body, facing the gaze of more than a hundred pairs of eyes, Lin Han got up very calmly, and then strode onto the stage.

The people at the scene were stunned for a moment, a little confused, co-authored, this Chinese teenager who just met their hearts very much is the director of the best short film at this year's Sundance International Film Festival? That's too young, isn't it!!
