The 11-day Sundance Film Festival has finally come to an end, with all 32 entries on the show, and the carnival of film lovers has come to an end once again, and everyone is reluctant to come to the main venue again for the closing ceremony and awards ceremony to be held tonight.

Lance arrived at the venue early with the crew members of "City of God", and after a while, Lance saw the Weinstein brothers arrive at the scene with their usual looks. Harvey's expression didn't see anything special, but Bob, who was standing on the side, frowned slightly, and looked Lance up and down, with a critical look of rejection in his eyes.

As if he didn't notice Bob's hostility at all, Lance smiled politely and waved his right hand at Harvey in a gesture of friendship.

Harvey also raised his right hand in motion, and the smile on his face even had a hint of enthusiasm, as if he had seen an old friend. Then, Harvey pointed to the two companions next to him, nodded his chin apologetically, and seemed to say, "There are guests here, I'll come back to you later." That familiarity and closeness seemed to anyone to be two best friends greeting each other.

"I heard you really annoyed those two brothers this time." Isanna's teasing voice came from the side, and then stopped beside Lance, "If it were me, I'd be running away now." ”

Lance didn't turn his head, glanced at Ethan out of his gaze, and said seriously, "Escape to Arkansas?" Or Kentucky? ”

Ethan propped his chin in a serious manner, and after some thought, "Alaska, I don't know, or Hawaii." It made both of them chuckle. I mean seriously, you've offended these two brothers, and you're going to get into a lot of trouble next. Believe me, I guess it won't be long before there will be negative news about the 'City of God'. ”

Creating rumors, discrediting opponents, and elevating themselves is one of the usual methods used by the Weinstein brothers to attack the Oscars. At the beginning, they used this means to defeat the "Saving Private Ryan" and let the "Shakespeare Love History" Shun Lì ascend to the throne; Later, the same means were used to pull down the "social network" and achieve the "King's Speech".

Lance pursed the corners of his lips, "Not so soon, at least until November." Because the awards season has only started at that time, this calmness made Ethan really laugh, "Believe me, these two brothers are smart people, and their interests are their focus, not me." "Especially Xavi.

Ethan shrugged noncommittally, "No matter what the future holds, at least this time, I think it's amazing to be able to make them fall on their heels!" ”

Lance laughed dumbly.

In fact, this time playing Harvey Weinstein cannot be regarded as Lance's plan, but can only be regarded as collateral damage in the planning process - or collateral benefits.

Before the last meeting with Xavi, negotiations between Lance and Brad were at an impasse. Brad put forward the final trading conditions, 1.5 million plus 35 percent of the box office dividends, and that's the limit. In fact, this is a perfectly acceptable deal for Lance, so that as long as the box office of "City of God" exceeds four million dollars, Chaos Pictures can be profitable.

But, a truly brilliant businessman wouldn't compromise so lightly. As a result, Lance found the strongest contender for Brad, and at the same time tested Xavi's final bid. If Harvey had quoted 1.8 million plus 35 percent at that time, then Lance would have nodded on the spot. Unfortunately, Xavi has apparently lost his patience in the midst of multiple encounters, simply and brutally cutting off all possibilities.

How would Harvey react when he learned that he had missed out on the distribution rights to the City of God simply because of "$300,000"? Lance was a little curious, but he didn't know about it.

"I'm sure the lady is looking for you." Ethan patted Lance's arm, then lifted his chin and pointed in the other direction.

Lance looked over, and then saw Jessica Alba in a long lake blue dress. Lance's gaze collided with Jessica's, and he smiled and nodded at her, which was kind of a greeting. Jessica, however, nodded as if she had been electrocuted, and then turned her head to look in the other direction, as if Frans were a flood beast.

"Aren't you going to go over and say hello?" Ethan was a little surprised to find that Lance's steps did not move at all, and then found that Lance shrugged his shoulders indifferently, still looking light, Ethan took a half step back, and his eyes turned back and forth between Lance and Jessica twice, which made Lance feel a little funny, "I thought you were dating." ”

This is the hypothetical that Lance wants the media to create, and during the Sundance Film Festival, the only lace news is the combination of Lance and Jessica, which has attracted a lot of people's attention.

Lance pursed his lips, "We're just friends. This sentence made Ethan raise his eyebrows, and then he didn't know what he remembered, and suddenly he suddenly realized "oh", which seemed meaningful. However, Lance had no intention of asking, and just let Ethan's imaginary wings fly freely.

However, Jessica, who was standing at the far end at this time, seemed to be a little struggling, she hesitated in place several times, and kept secretly looking at Lance with the corner of her eye, and soon found that Lance and Ethan had not stopped at all, and had already walked to the side and talked to several other people. This made Jessica a little discouraged, and her heart was like a kitten's paw scratching, and she couldn't settle down at all.

To go, or not to go; To go, or not to go...... Jessica's thoughts were always wandering, and at the end of the tangle, Jessica's steps involuntarily took a step, and when she realized her movements, she could only take a deep breath, and then comfort herself, "It's just a hello, out of the courtesy of a friend", but it still didn't calm her down.

Walking all the way to Lance, Jessica's mind was still a mess, she could only temporarily suppress those chaotic thoughts, and mustered up the courage to squeeze out a smile, "Hey, Lance." Then he turned around—

In an instant, the world seemed to be slowed down a hundredfold, and he slowly turned his head, the golden light behind him shone brightly, outlining the thrilling lines of his face; The blue eyes blinked slightly, the slender and thick eyelashes were like butterflies flapping their wings, and then the bright starlight under the eyes slowly rippled, as if the entire starry sky was spread out in those deep pupils; The rosy lip flap was slightly pursed, and then it outlined a sexual/sensual arc, which was perfect enough to stop the heart beating.

Jessica just stood stunned, her brain completely stopped. Then she saw the smile on the corner of Lance's mouth bloom, with a hint of doting, a hint of banter, a hint of brilliance, "Jessica? The star-like eyes looked at her intently, gently rippling with doubt, "Are you okay?" ”

Jesus Christ. "Good evening!" Jessica blurted out, but then she realized her terrible appearance, which forced her to bite the tip of her tongue, "I mean, I'm fine, I couldn't be better." What about you? ”

"I'm fine." Lance's smile returned to the gentlemanly look.

Jessica was stunned and tried to say something, but when she pursed her lips, she found that her brain was blank, and the only thought in her mind blurted out, "Are you going to have dinner tonight?" After saying this, Jessica calmed down, and all her energy was focused on Lance's answer, her intellect wished Lance refused, but her emotions wished Lance nodded. It's an ordeal.

"Huh." Lance chuckled, "It's time to miss dinner now." ”

Jessica was stunned by this answer, and then gritted her teeth in frustration, she only remembered now that tonight was the closing ceremony, and they had only attended after dinner. Realizing this, Jessica chuckled dryly twice, "It's a pity that my joke didn't fool you. Originally, I thought that it would be better if you nodded yes, and then I rejected you. Jessica herself didn't know what she was talking about, "Very well, I never wanted to have dinner with you, you're not my type, not at all." ”

After saying that, Jessica laughed twice again, turned around in embarrassment, and left quickly. Jessica closed her eyes fiercely, "Crazy! You are crazy! Actually take the initiative to provoke the demon, you are absolutely completely crazy! He muttered and cursed secretly, and fled the scene of the disaster at the speed of light.

Lance's gaze lingered on Jessica's back for a moment, but he quickly retracted it, turned his head to look at Ethan, who had a playful expression on his face, and showed a helpless smile. Ethan innocently raised his hands, "I'm invisible, from beginning to end. Jessica even forgot to say hello to Ethan just now, coming and going like the wind.

Lance directly ignored Ethan's teasing, "Let's go, the closing ceremony is about to begin." Then the two men walked side by side into the banquet hall. Ethan was present as a special guest, and his position was not with Lance, and the two of them said goodbye, and Lance found the location of the "City of God" crew and sat down with the members.

The biggest difference between film festivals and award ceremonies like the Oscars and Golden Globes is that the festival does not have a specific awards ceremony, and it does not turn the closing ceremony into a gala. The film is the most important thing, and at the closing ceremony, they will directly reveal the suspense, award the attribution of each award, and then announce the end of the festival. Concise, crisp and clean.

The Sundance Film Festival has a number of awards, including the Audience Award, the Grand Jury Prize, the Special Jury Prize and the Director Award, and each category includes two sections: Documentary and Feature Film. However, the awards that really represent each year at the Sundance Film Festival are the Grand Jury Prize, which is equivalent to the Palme d'Or in Cannes, the Golden Bear in Berlin, the Golden Lion in Venice and the Oscars for Best Film.

The grand prize, there is only one.
