Chapter 318: Three Fools Make Trouble in Park City
"Hey Darling"
"Hey buddy"
"It's been a long time, are you okay, I'm great, hahaha"
Walking down the streets of Park City, Utah, Robert Downey Jr. was in a good mood because the Clint Downey guy promised him a sum of money, and the guy covered all the expenses in Park City. 『』【dashubao large schoolbag is updated quickly, and there are few advertisements】
Of course, this is also how it should be, because Robert Downey Jr. This is a job, which is equivalent to a business trip, so naturally eating, drinking, and sleeping will be under the control of that guy from Clintelo.
At this time, on January 18, 2004, the Sundance Film Festival had opened, and Park City was the venue for this film festival.
Sundance Film Festival, first of all, the name has nothing to do with the location, Sundance, the source of the name is the role that Robert Redford became famous, the movie back then was called Haw Par Xiaobawang Well, the name of this film is really the level of dirt to the scum, that is, Luo Yaoxiang, this guy can get ten or eight of that kind just by thinking about it
And this film festival is actually a small film festival called the American Film Festival in the past, well, it used to be a small bazaar of American films, and that's it, because it's in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Robert Downey Jr. is basically very clear about these things, because the current Sundance Film Festival, this family has initiated
At the American Film Festival that year, it was really a miserable loss, but after Redford took over, it was thriving, which is really unimaginable.
In fact, this is fundamentally due to the fact that the big Hollywood companies have reached a point where they are too big to die, and Robert Downey Jr. is really very experienced, because these big companies make movies, the whole cost is uncontrollable, and the institutions are getting bigger and bigger, and the more people are eating. In this way, as long as you make a film at every turn, then what can you do if you don't take tens of millions of dollars
In fact, the big Hollywood companies used to be quite brilliant. But later, because of various problems, such as the film union, organizations such as the film union, went on strike, so large companies had to give more money. Give more benefits, then of course their costs will go up.
Robert Downey Jr. himself knows that if you really make a movie, you don't need so much money, tens of millions of dollars, and in this year you can buy half a small town in the middle of the United States and be a farmer comfortably.
But however, as a member of the actors, he will not object to this increase in benefits, and he also needs money. The more the merrier.
But because of this, from the late 80s to the present, the big Hollywood companies have produced less, and Robert Downey Jr. used to remember that the big Hollywood companies used to be able to produce hundreds of movies, but now, there are less than 100 movies a year. However, the overall shipment of American films has not decreased, that is, the production of zuò movies, and now there are five or six hundred films a year. That's a lot.
In fact, they are small companies, and the movies they produce are cheap, at least small companies don't have such a large organization. There are not so many people who have to spend and welfare, and of course they can control the costs, such as the hangover that Robert Downey Jr. filmed before.
To be honest, that movie was an investment of $3 million, which is considered a high investment in the production of zuò films. But however, the output is really amazing, and Robert Downey still feels that he is getting too little paid.
However, it seems that this little Robert Downey still knows a lot about the Sundance Film Festival, and Luo Yaoxiang asked him to be his stand-in, to pan for gold, to try his vision, it seems that he is not mistaken.
Robert Downey Jr. is indeed familiar with this film festival, he has been here before, and ah, this guy still has a lot of old Hollywood acquaintances, he recently starred in the hangover movie, it is a salted fish overturn, so of course there are a lot of people to talk to him.
Men and women, both
"Mr. Downey, should we go and see if there are any good movies" Zhang Wenhua, as Luo Yaoxiang's agent and partner, of course he can't help but come, and it's not just him.
"yes, I also want to see these movies made of zuò, haha" Lao Ke is also here.
Ahem, let's get down to business.
This Zhang Wenhua and Lao Ke came over, of course, the role is self-evident, that is, to be the supervisor, Luo Yaoxiang is not distrustful of Robert Downey Jr., but he can't trust him too much
This old boy is so desperate to ask for money, so it's a little bit of a precaution
With two overseers, at least you'll have to do the work
So, it's really down to business, these three guys represent the 307 company, this company is Luo Yaoxiang used Wu Shujuan's identity as an American, made a head, and then set up a company in the Cayman Islands, these series of actions made his company avoid a lot of US imperialist aspects, quite a lot of prohibitions on entertainment, anyway, you Luo Yaoxiang is still Chinese, it's not easy to get.
In this way, the three of them are equivalent to the 307 company, which is a film to watch
"Oops, this film seems to be a big hit"
"Look and go"
"That's good."
These three guys saw a movie where there seemed to be a lot of people waiting in line to see it, so they passed, anyway, the film festival, there are many films, you just see where people gather, basically the films over there should be good, this is no different from the vegetable market.
That's this film
"PRR" Lao Ke was sharp-eyed, and he saw the relevant propaganda first.
"This name" Zhang Wenhua is a little strange.
"It's weird." Even the old driver, Robert Downey Jr., frowned a little.
The name of this movie is really strange, because the word PRR, translated as primer, is something that is brushed on metal to prevent rust, but on this promotional material, that is, the poster board, this is written as a science fiction film
Primer, what can this thing have to do with science fiction films is that the future primer will not rust for many years after it is painted
Obviously, it's very tangled, but because of this, everyone is here to pan for gold, so let's go and take a look, curious.
And so
"This"
"The Movie That Just Happened"
"What do you mean?"
After these three people finished watching the film, all three of them were stunned
I don't know why, the three of them, they feel like a hangover trio, in fact, two of them are there, Robert Downey and the white fat man Lao Ke may not have played
I don't understand
This prr.,It's really a sci-fi film.,It's just that this sci-fi film is more alternative.,The story told is also interesting.,It's a time machine that's different from the past.,And then a few people come to fight.,There's something else.,But it's really brain-burning.
It is said that this film only cost 7,000 US dollars, but the reason why it is so attractive is that many people think that this film is very thoughtful and innovative, but many people really can't understand it.
Robert Downey Jr. was a little embarrassed, he wiped his sweat, yes, he was bragging about it, he was a regular at the Sundance Film Festival, he was very familiar, but as a result, this first film, so many people paid attention to it, and he couldn't understand it, which is simply it
Has it changed so differently these years, Robert Downey Jr. feels a little old.
"The other two are also a little embarrassed to say anything, anyway, they feel that their IQ needs to be recharged.
In fact, this film should be translated into an introduction, and that machine qì seems to be an introduction, and then changes a lot of things, a bit like the butterfly effect that is about to be released, but unfortunately, this film is much more brain-burning than that.
So in that case
"I'll mention yì, shouldn't we go and take a break" Lao Ke raised his hand.
"Okay." Zhang Wenhua has no opinion.
"Let's go, then." Robert Downey Jr. is like an old horse who knows the way to the bar.
This is after the bar, though
"Mr. Burns, I think you should consider James's request, he's a genius, a real genius"
"Greg, you should know, a newcomer wants a share of the box office, and he thinks of himself as something This kind of request is too unacceptable."
"Mr. Burns, our film must have a good future in the future."
"Greg, you also said it's the future, we're not sure, right?"
Unexpectedly, I met an old acquaintance, it was Michael Burns of Lionsgate, but this guy seemed to be talking to a person named Greg about some personal matters, which obviously had something to do with the movie.
Well, I have to say hello.
"Hey, hello Michael."
"Oh, let's see who this is, Robert Downey Jr. and Zhang, and Chris, you three are so leisurely, are you here to travel?"
These people greeted each other, and then chatted a few words, this Burns is actually right, this Park City, itself is a tourist city, but it is not very developed, because the main business is skiing, skiing, there are many good places in the United States, besides, rich people go to Europe to ski, that is paradise.
"We're here to see the movie."
"Ha, then everyone has the same purpose, okay, I still have something to do, let's go first, sorry."
This Burns is obviously very busy, yes, this first day of Sundance, so I don't have to watch much of the film
Well, that highlights the disdedication of Robert Downey Jr.'s trio
But though, Greg over there came.
"You're Mr. Robert Downey Jr., I'm glad to be there," this guy is very welcoming.
"Fortunately." Robert Downey Jr. shook Greg's hand, but he smelled something familiar, big
