Joel Cohen watched Lance walk to a seat not far away and sit down, tilting his head and whispering in Ethan Cohen's ear, "You didn't say that he directed this movie." ”

Ethan turned his head sideways and saw the suspicion in Joel's eyebrows, and immediately understood Joel's questioning attitude towards Lance, and chuckled, "We're in Sundance now, so, you know what to expect." Although Ethan was skeptical of Lance's directing skills, he admitted that his previous meeting with Lance did make him interested in the film, and he took his brother to the premiere.

As for what Lance's strength is, the work itself will give an answer.

Joel raised an eyebrow noncommittally, not thinking that a businessman — a producer who is a businessman more than a filmmaker — could show much talent. Lance was a good producer because he had a good eye for cinema, but that didn't allow him to break away from being a businessman and become an artist. Especially just now, Lance has shown his mastery of social situations by maneuvering between many filmmakers, which has made Joel more and more sure that Lance is a businessman. Joel was willing to come because he thought it was the work of Lance as a producer, but now ......

Ethan turned his head to look at the big screen, and Joel also collected his feelings, lowering his expectations to the bottom as much as possible, and turned his head to wait for the movie to show.

At this time, the theater with a capacity of 300 people was already full, and although the entire cast and crew of "City of God" were unknown, this situation was already the norm at Sundance, and all the avid film lovers who came to the Sundance Film Festival could not have been more aware of this. So, there was no need for any publicity at all, there was no need for any gimmicks, the 300 tickets for the premiere were still sold out early, and there were even some people who didn't get tickets - like Javier.

The audience whispered with anticipation, holding the official movie house book in their hands, reading information about the "City of God", and expressing their opinions.

Lance is no stranger to such a scene, having experienced the premieres of many films, and he also clearly understands that the anxiety and anticipation of his work about to be judged by the public are intertwined, contradictory and tangled, and it is really difficult to calm down.

Originally, Lance thought that he was accustomed to this and could look at it with a normal heart. However, the atmosphere of the scene still made the air slowly begin to warm up, the trivial discussions that swarmed from all directions, the blurred faces in the dense crowd loomed, and the critical eyes of film critics and reporters were like a man...... Those small details that are difficult to detect make the atmosphere more and more tense, and the heartbeat suddenly loses its rhythm.

It's not the same, it's still different after all. This time, he is not a producer, but a director and screenwriter to accept the judgment of the public, which is not only his own work, but also his own brainchild. Thinking of this, in addition to the nervous mood, a wonderful excitement arose, and the feelings mixed with anticipation, excitement and apprehension began to become subtle.

Lance took out the candy bag from his pocket, poured out two, threw them into his mouth, and chewed slowly, the delicate sweetness jumping on the tip of his tongue, slowly calming his mood.

"Can I ask for two?" A playful word came from beside him, and when he turned his head, he saw Jessica's beautiful face, and her eyes flashed with bright anticipation. The corners of Lance's mouth twitched slightly, drawing a warm arc, but he said in a firm tone that could not be refuted, "I don't think you will like it. With that, he re-grasped his palm and put the candy in his pocket.

At this time, the lights of the movie theater slowly dimmed, and Lance turned his head to look at the big screen. Jessica's disappointed expression swelled up, almost impossible to hide, and she took a deep look at Lance's side face, which gradually faded with the dimming of the light, and finally, Jessica also turned her head and looked at the big dark screen.

The entire cinema was plunged into darkness, the darkness of the fingers could not be seen, the humming and restless sound disappeared in an instant, as if the collective was choked by the throat, and every movie enthusiast turned their attention to the big screen. At this moment, a hazy point of light appeared in the inky darkness, drawing everyone's attention.

The faint light began to gradually become brighter and stronger, and when the light point evolved into the size of a basketball, it suddenly exploded, and thousands of light points sprinkled on the big screen, dispelling all the darkness and turning into a bright starry sky, countless bright stars shining under the night sky, and then all the brilliance was twisted together, changing into a variety of color shapes, like a mess, but like a touch of aurora, making the dark night sky beautiful in an instant, The artistic atmosphere of chaos to the extreme is jaw-dropping, and even Van Gogh's oil paintings cannot depict such a one-ten-thousandth of the brilliance of such a picture.

Eventually, all the points of light are suddenly recycled, re-condensed into a single point of light, and then smaller and darker until they disappear. Then, a word appeared on the screen, "Chaos", and the thick line subtitles of the dragon and phoenix dance were in white minimalist tones, which had an indescribable charm. Immediately afterwards, the "chaotic" font also turned into a distorted light, which dissipated into the night little by little.

It's just a fourteen-second opening, but it left an unimaginable impression on all audiences. The chaos like a big bang came to the face with brilliant and unpredictable colors!

Chaos Pictures has stepped onto the stage of history in this way.

"Wow", a crisp sound in the darkness like a bolt of lightning, a glimpse. Many people don't understand what's going on at all, just hear a murmur that is unpredictable; More people missed this trivial sound, and still looked at the big screen casually, on which the subtitles appeared, "Director: Lancelot Strello", and the subtitles that continued the previous cursive style only stayed for a while, and then disappeared like chaos.

Immediately afterwards, there was a crisp sound of "poof", this time the picture flashed, and a shiny long knife slashed directly, but it was only for a moment, and the big screen quickly turned black, as if the blade had cut through the black screen; Then, the sound of "poo" became faster and faster according to a certain rhythm, and the sharp blades cut through the darkness one after another, constantly flashing in front of the eyes, and the sharp and neat editing style immediately jumped into the picture.

Only then did people piece together a scene, and the clanging sound was made by the friction of blades against the whetstone. It's a guy sharpening his knives!

The upbeat samba music erupts like a kaleidoscope, and the ebullient melody makes you want to dance, as if you can smell the Brazilian sunshine in the air. The pace of sharpening is getting faster and faster, as if it were in harmony with the music, and the rapid changes in camera are dazzling and dizzying.

Swift friction blades, nimble beating banji strings, dense and cheerful drum surfaces, restless roosters, neatly cut carrots, dancing samba dance steps, hand-drawn chicken killing techniques, heated charcoal fires, fragrant meat skewers...... The bright shots are sharply and clearly combined and switched, constructing a grand and bright pie.

A large flock of roosters had been killed, leaving only the messy and filthy chicken feathers on the floor, which had turned into a pile of smooth white chicken meat on the cutting board. At this time, only the last rooster was left before its turn, and the chaotic and restless scene in front of it made it start to walk around in a panic, and the rope that held the rooster's left foot was loosened, and the rooster, which had regained its freedom, couldn't wait to walk to the side, and then flapped its wings, flew from the second floor to the ground, and began to flee. It's like Andy who left prison in "The Shawshank Redemption".

"Grass, the chicken is gone, go catch that chicken! Ha ha! A pair of still immature eyes filled the whole picture, and he shouted happily, with a bright smile on his face, and laughed unbridled and unbridled.

There was a rush of soldiers, messy footsteps kept trampling in the camera, and more than a dozen teenagers hurriedly ran downstairs, hurriedly and panickedly following behind the rooster, quickly chasing. There are more and more people chasing, but only to see more and more footsteps, and the rooster agile shuttles through the gaps, which only makes the scene more and more chaotic.

A small rooster led the mighty crowd through the streets and alleys, making everyone jump and jump, so lively, but the seemingly trivial shots showed the scenery of the entire area in front of the audience little by little. It's a slum, a black slum, a backward and dirty slum, a slum where every chaser has a pistol in his hand but is accustomed to it, and the ordinary daily life exudes a joy that belongs only to the South American continent in the quick switching short shots.

Ethan pursed his lips slightly, and his eyes showed a deep interest.

Although it is only the opening shot of less than 90 seconds, it does not show the immaturity and youthfulness of the "debut film" at all, and the fast-connecting shots accurately convey the overall and partial details in a quiet manner, which is enough to get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of the director's personal style. What's more, the opening scene starts with a pie duì, a group of children chasing a prison escaped rooster, with a passionate and cheerful samba, quite a bit of fairy tale absurdity, the interesting plot makes people laugh at the same time, but also curious about the whole story.

Two young children were discussing the topic of photo taking and the newspaper office, only to find a rooster suddenly running in front of them, and then a group of teenagers with their pistols raised high appeared in the street, they swaggered over, stopped the whole street, and then shouted at the two children, "Boy, catch that chicken, catch that chicken!" The flickering pistol stopped both of them, and the child, with the camera around his neck, cautiously stepped away, trying to catch the chicken in front of him.

At this moment, a police car stopped on the other side of the street, and a group of armed policemen/prosecutors walked down. And the crowd on the other side of the street immediately raised their guns in the air, and confronted the police/inspector without fear, and in an instant, the air of the entire street froze!

The teenager who was standing in the middle and tried to round up the was left in place, and his body was completely stiff in an instant, and he was in a dilemma!
