Walking into the elevator and watching the elevator door slowly close, the smile on the corner of Lance's mouth relaxed and regained his calm.

Although Lance had just left without any stops, it was obvious that he could see Harvey's suddenly stiff smile - this was Harvey's only gaffe of the day. However, if it were Lance and someone suddenly told a secret that he thought no one had ever known, it is estimated that he would also have a half-second pause, which is a conditioned reflex.

Uma Thurman, Quentin-Tarantino and Harvey Weinstein are the talked-about iron triangle in the independent film industry. The three of them collaborated on "Pulp Fiction" and "Kill Bill", which was an unimaginably huge success. Uma has always been considered Quentin's muse, and only Quentin can light up Uma's beauty; And Harvey is Quentin's Bole, and Quentin is Harvey's lucky star - the rise of Miramax Films began with "pulp fiction".

When Uma and Ethan-Hawke walked into the wedding hall, many expressed their shock because many people thought that Uma and Quentin were a couple.

Recently, Uma and Ethan's marriage hit the rocks, and there have been rumors in the circle that Uma and Quentin's intimate encounter during the filming of "Kill Bill" was the fuse. But almost no one knows that the amorous Harvey has been coveting Uma like a philatelist.

Lance, however, knew that Harvey and Uma had had a dew/water marriage. This is one of the advantages that comes with being born again.

So, unexpectedly, Lance made Harvey panic, and it is estimated that for the next period of time, Harvey will be anxious to cover up his secrets - he can not pay attention to Uma, but he can't ignore Quentin.

However, even so, there is no way for Lance to change the established fact that Miramax Films has no interest in the "City of God". Standing at the door of Miramax Films' office building, Lance looked back at the gray building, cold and hard, and the thin sunlight made the shadows of the ground exude a gloom.

Lance is sure that they will regret their decision today.

Miramax Films was Lance's last chance, and after Harvey politely rejected the "City of God", it was almost certain that the plan to find a suitable distribution company in Hollywood had officially been shattered.

This is not an unexpected result, because in the previous life, the "City of God" was like this, there was no distribution company in North America and Europe, and it took nearly a year for the film to mix in various low-level film festivals, and finally it was favored by Miramax Film and took over the North American distribution rights.

Therefore, when formulating the distribution plan, Lance had already taken this situation into account, so he made two preparations.

The best outcome is to find a suitable distribution company, and then have a professional team formulate distribution steps and publicity plans, relying on the power of the distribution company to appear on the stage of major international film festivals, and win more attention for the return of North American screening. But if that doesn't work, then the Sundance Film Festival will be the first choice for Reims.

Founded in 1984, the Sundance Film Festival was founded by a generation of superstar Robert Redford (Robert-Redford), and its name is derived from his famous role - Sundance-Kid in "Haw Par Kid". Over the past two decades, the Sundance Film Festival has grown to become one of the world's premier independent film festivals, with many of Hollywood's emerging directors seeing it as a springboard to fame, and Hollywood's major studios are happy to use it as a talent pool.

Every year, new artists and independent films flock to Park City, Utah's Great Salt Lake Valley, where dreams come and go.

There are countless film festivals around the world, but for independent films, Sundance is undoubtedly the top stage and the best springboard to Hollywood. As a result, more and more independent films from Sundance are signed up each year, often less than 30 out of 300 films make it to the list – and in many cases, the competition is even fiercer.

For the past two weeks, Lance has been trying to find an indirect connection from his own connections and get a chance to talk to Robert face-to-face, but it is obviously not an easy task. Especially after leaving Diorama Pictures, things started to get stretched, and Lance knew that Ryan was definitely "indispensable". But this is also the result that Lance had foreseen before he decided to set up his own door, he didn't pay attention to it at all, and Lance had a clear understanding of the priorities of the matter.

After being rejected by Miramax Films, Lance began to gather information in an attempt to create a chance encounter. Although the act of directly encircling Robert is too abrupt and purposeful, and it is easy to be self-defeating, Lance feels that it is worth giving it a go, as long as it is done properly, everything is possible.

Lance noticed that Robert had recently returned to Los Angeles for a few days to take a break and adjust before heading to Salt Lake City to prepare for the opening of the 19th Sundance Film Festival. It's also Reims' best chance!

On the table, there is information on Robert's recently completed work "Ransom Crisis", which is called for the joining of Helen-Mirren, Willem-Dafoe (Willem-Dafoe) and other big names, and is released by Twentieth Century Fox, which has sparked a lot of discussion during the filming and is considered likely to be the favorite of next year's awards season.

"Did you miss dinner again, it's better not to be known by Theo, otherwise Gawain and I will be scolded." A teasing voice came from directly in front of him, calling Lance's thoughts back from the data.

Even without looking up, Lance could tell who the person was from the familiar voice and tone, "Don't worry, I won't complain to Theo." Looking up, it was Ian Strello standing in the hall. Today Ian changed into casual clothes, a dark blue knit sweater made his turquoise eyes extremely gentle, and the short blonde hair was not deliberately taken care of, hanging down casually, holding a huge box in his hand, "What, no date tonight?" "Ian's outfit is clearly at home.

"I'll go to Catherine's house tonight and cook for her." Ian said with a smile, then looked back at Lance, "You know, it's necessary to show your soft side in front of women once in a while. "Every move of this veteran is obviously carefully choreographed.

Lance couldn't help but laugh, "It's better not to be heard by Theo." Ian rolled his eyes and muttered, "God, you're about to turn thirty, and Theo still treats you like a child, worried that we'll teach you badly." Only Jesus knows that you are the most cunning of all. ”

With an innocent look on his face, Lance stood up and followed Ian into the kitchen, "I can swear I'm innocent. Whatever it is! Then he saw Ian put the box in his hand on the table, and when he opened it, there were twelve doughnuts, which made Lance's face bloom immediately, and he couldn't wait to take one and sit down at the table to eat.

Ian walked back into the kitchen and expertly rummaged through the cupboards, "Why did everything in your room change positions?" ”

"Really?" Lance thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "It should be Percy who changed it, he said that everything in my house is too messy, and everything has been reorganized." But has anything changed? Why didn't I notice? Ian ignored the latter sentence and treated it as if he hadn't heard it.

Found the coffee cup, poured two cups of fresh coffee, and then returned to the dining room and placed a cup in front of Lance, "I gave you half a piece of sugar less." Of course, Ian knew Lance's habits, but considering the relationship between the doughnuts, he made adjustments, but he didn't expect the words to fall, and he saw Lance frowning, and he could only point to the kitchen speechlessly, "It's not enough to add it yourself." ”

Lance waved his hand and motioned for himself to finish the doughnut before going over.

Ignoring Lance's satisfied expression, Ian lowered his head and took a sip of coffee before he spoke, "Haven't you found a suitable distribution company for your film yet?" Ian also has a very limited understanding of the film part, but because of Lance, he knows a little bit about it, "I recently met a client at work, I heard that he is in charge of a big event such as an awards ceremony, and then he seems to have some connections in terms of distribution, if you need it, I can ask him out for dinner and introduce you to him." ”

Listening to Ian's unfamiliar words, there was no one in the fragmentation, and Lance laughed directly without giving face, "If you really want to help, at least figure out the situation." Ian pursed his lips, revealing an expression of "I'm still disgusted with you, you're so bold", and Lance restrained his smile, "What's your customer's name?" Maybe I do. ”

Ian isn't a nosy person, and he's not a reckless judge. So, Ian took the initiative to bring it up, and it must have been because the client had some background, and he thought it might be a help, so he came to Los Angeles from Silicon Valley - otherwise it would have been a phone call.

"Robert Redford, I'm not sure what he's coming from, but I've heard ......" Ian was only halfway through his words, and then he saw the expression on Lance's face freeze, and he looked stunned. Ian pointed to the corners of his mouth, "Sunshine Kid, you have frosting on the corners of your mouth." He took a tissue from the side and handed it over, then took a sip of coffee calmly, "I heard that he seems to be a character, maybe he can help." ”

Lance took the tissue, slowly placed the doughnut on top of the box, carefully wiped the icing off the corner of his lips, and nodded gently, "Yes, he did help." ”

Then Ian saw a little light bloom in Lance's blue eyes, getting brighter and brighter, and the corners of his mouth were gently outlined. The aroma of the coffee is intoxicating and intoxicating, "The coffee was well brewed today." ”
