"Haha, Chu, I miss you so much!"

It's been a long time since I've seen Colin Farrell have long hair, still combed back, and with that scruffy old face, it looks like an Irish mountain cannon.

"Thanks, I don't miss you at all!"

Chu Qing stuck his hands to stop him from continuing to pounce, and said strangely: "What's the matter with your hair?" ”

"The new film is needed, it's not bad, right?"

The ghost scratched his sideburns wildly, turned to Fan Xiaoye, and asked, "......Who is this?"

"She's my fiancée, you can call her ......"

Before he finished speaking, Colin grabbed Fan Xiaoye's hand, and teased her very skillfully: "Don't talk about it yet, let me guess." You're so beautiful and charming, you have an outstanding temperament, you must be a model. ”

"Sorry, I'm not."

"Is it a costume designer, or a photographer? You're dressed with good taste. ”

“……”

"Oh, are you an airplane purser?"

“……”

She looked at her husband, can I cut him? Chu Qing was speechless, separated the two, and introduced: "This is a soldier and an actor." ”

"Hah, I'm going to guess next." Colin was not embarrassed, and he looked like I was so upright.

Damn, let's cut him together!

Just as he was about to make a move, MacDonald came over in time, and several people left the hotel. The venue was not far from here, but it was very cold, so I still took the car.

Fan Xiaoye knew Sundance's style, he didn't wear that kind of big dragon robe-style evening dress, only a casual skirt and a coat.

It was getting late, and I don't know if the sky reflected the snow, or the snow reflected the sky, and there was a thin gray-blue color in the small town. The buildings on both sides of the street are low, like elaborate brick lattices, and from that lattice. One or two, three or five, and people kept pouring in.

They are all fans who participated in the opening ceremony, dressed plainly, their eyes are pure, everyone's mouth is white, but the heat on their faces can melt this winter snow.

Chu Qing looked outside and felt very much like the place he was fascinated for the first time, Rotterdam. The same has no red carpet, no fancy clothes. There's no loud flashing lights, but it's just as good as the world.

Three or four minutes away, the car stopped at the entrance of the Grand Theater, a few people just got off the car, suddenly heard someone shouting: "Chu! Colin! ”

Everyone turned around, only to see Quentin running from behind, cracking his mouth and laughing, "I'm so glad to meet you here, who is this beautiful lady?" Oh. It must be your little girlfriend...... Haha, this year's Park City is amazing, I gave myself ten days off, I hate those idiots......"

Colin compared to Quentin. It's just as well-behaved as a quail. As soon as that guy came, he started talking about it, and he didn't care if others could stand it or not.

Everyone went into the theater together, and there were not many people inside. In the aisle ahead, three old men were chatting.

"Hey!"

Quentin waved his hand, and when the three of them saw it, they also came over to greet him. Colin and Chu Qing immediately became respectful. The former is a Hollywood celebrity and needs no introduction, but the latter is a new face that has aroused the interest of the old guys.

One of them joked: "I've heard of you, you're well-known in the audition departments of major companies. ”

Another praised: "This movie is very good, your performance with Colin completely elevates the film, but unfortunately you didn't make it." ”

The third didn't speak, but nodded his head.

"Thank you, Martin and Colin have helped me a lot, and I hope to have the opportunity to come to Sundance again."

Chu Qing's waist bowed slightly, this oriental habit and respect made the old guys extremely satisfied.

After a few more pleasantries, everyone took their seats. Fan Xiaoye was carrying his skirt, his head was always covered, and he came back to his senses when he sat down, who did I see?

Ben Kingsley!

Robert Redford!

Robert De Niro!

Oh, MYGOD!

……

Don't blame Fan Xiaoye, there are not many opportunities for Asian actors to meet these giants, even if they meet, they don't have fate to talk, and even if they talk, they don't have a deep friendship.

Of course, in a few years, maybe a broken film and television industrial park in Jiaodong can invite big names like Xiao Li, Nicole Kidman, and Catherine Zeta-Jones, and the power of capital is outstanding.

From a certain point of view, Lao Wang is also a national hero.

After a while, guests, audiences and a few media entered the venue one after another, so Fan Xiaoye saw Bruce Willis, Amy Adams, Julianne Moore and other Hollywood big names.

Chu Qing's focus is different: he didn't find an authoritative Chinese-language media, only two young reporters nesting in the corner, and wearing hats with the website's logo printed on them.

Compared with the three major European ones, Golden Globe and Oscar, China has always been indifferent to Sundance.

It's the first day of the festival, and the opening ceremony is followed by the opening film, so if you don't want to watch it, you can leave in the middle of the film. Soon it was seven o'clock, and the event officially began.

It can be seen from the layout of the scene that everything in the ceremony is simple, without any bells and whistles, a stage, a screen.

"Whoa!"

With applause, an old man walked to the front of the stage, it was none other than Robert Redford, the founder and chairman of the film festival. He pressed his hands weakly, glanced around, and said:

"Now in Sundance's 24th year, not only has a record 122 feature films selected from 3,624 candidates, but 55 first-time directors will be presenting here. These numbers all say one thing, Sundance is becoming more and more successful and getting more and more attention. Of course, for me personally, success was a bit bad because I was so busy that I didn't even have time to watch a movie. My relationship with cinema is not as close as it used to be, and I think I could still go and see the film and talk to the directors about it. It's hard to see right now, there are so many people I want to meet...... Oh, except for the Hilton! ”

"Hahaha!"

The audience burst into laughter. Paris Hilton, who supervised and starred in her new film "TheHottie & theNottie", did not get the opportunity to participate in the exhibition, but still came with the film to stir up. But now, uh, she's supposed to be having fun at some nightclub.

"For more than 20 years, Sundance has been conquered by thousands of independent films. Some people say that independent films are anti-traditional and anti-mainstream. They couldn't be more wrong! ”

Redford walked back and forth on the stage, his voice gradually high-pitched: "Freedom, sacred, avant-garde, vision, fascination, directors shoot what they need and what they want, we see what we desire and what we fear, this is independent cinema!"

No brokers, no company representatives. There were no paparazzi, and Hollywood waited in line outside with money bags. People gather here like a real community of artists, where everyone can laugh, perform and have fun with different images. This is independent cinema!

Tom, Julianne, Bruce, Ben, Robert. Amy, Colin ...... They look for challenging roles outside of Hollywood, forgoing high salaries just to inject star influence. Increase the chances of being selected by the issuer. This is independent cinema! ”

"Whoa!"

The applause was thunderous, and Tom Hanks, Julianne Moore, who were named, waved their hands again and again. And this long list of bang-bang movie declarations made Chu Qing's blood boil even more.

It's a pity that the daughter-in-law's listening and reading are not very good. I'm bored to break my fingers and play.

Then, Redford's voice changed, and he became calm and calm again. "In previous years, we have been surrounded by war films, so this year's selection of works will try to create a different atmosphere. Like the opening film, No Vacation for Killers, which we'll see later, it's a wonderful Sundance-style film that's brutal, funny, philosophical, and incredibly original. Martin MacDonald is a highly talented playwright and an adventurous director. For his first feature film, we are all looking forward to it. ”

"Of course, we also welcomed a new friend this year."

Redford pointed in a certain direction and said with a smile: "Chinese filmmakers rarely intersect with Sundance, and we are unexpectedly and honored to welcome you to join, Chu!" ”

Yo!

Chu Qing was stunned, but he didn't expect the chairman to appreciate his face so much, so he hurriedly clasped his palms together to express his gratitude. At the same time, a very harmonious and intimate feeling grew from the bottom of his heart and slowly spread to his whole body, and in just half a day, he had fallen in love with Sundance.

Robert Redford on stage is 72 years old, still with blond messy hair like "Haw Par Little Overlord" more than 40 years ago, waiting for every young person with a story in his heart in this cold town, just like the arrival of Chu Qing today.

And the last words he said were:

"Someday I'll die, but I'm not going to retire."

…………

"After killing them, I threw my gun into the Thames, washed my hands in the bathroom at Burger King, and went home for the next mission. After a while, the order came, 'You two fools, get out of London and go to Bruges...... I don't even know where Bruges is. ”

At the end of the opening ceremony, some people chose to leave, and two-thirds of them stayed behind. The film begins with a damp bluestone road, a tall bell tower and an old art building, accompanied by soft piano sounds and a deep monologue.

MacDonald is an expert at creating pictures, and he successfully arouses the audience's interest at first with his cold and lonely night scenes. The movie is labeled as a comedy, and after this intro, no one will be stupid enough to think so.

"The Killer Has No Holiday" is a typical British movie, what is a British movie? Sharp and shaky shots, a group of two hundred and five main and supporting characters, and a serious nonsense.

This subset has three major characteristics, the only exception is that there is an Oriental in it, and he is especially one of the protagonists.

"Heh......"

When Chu Qing appeared with a leather bag and a chubby body, the audience was chuckling, this feeling was ridiculous!

Fan Xiaoye was suddenly unhappy, and he couldn't scold the street, so he held her husband's palm. He didn't care, and kissed his daughter-in-law to comfort him.

The pace of the film is slower, and the first half is a city propaganda film for Bruges, and the hidden story line is revealed little by little as the two stupid killers play, quarrel, and argue with passers-by.

Ray accidentally killed the child and was banished to Bruges by his boss, a man with a stubborn personality and arrogance, but with good intentions. Ken is as peaceful and tolerant as a big brother, loves art, and enjoys the trip very much.

They met a crew in Bruges, and Lei fell in love with a certain girl, and she went to pick up girls. Ken receives a message from Harry alone, and has a bad premonition.

That night, Ray returned late at night and snapped the lights on. The dim light flickered on Ken's face, and this gentle and honest fat man suddenly rose like a lion king:

"You're turning the lights off!"

This one shot made all the audience excited.

Colin's acting skills are excellent, and that kind of neurotic transformation is natural and casual, and it is extremely brilliant. But seeing this scene, they suddenly realized that the rhythm of the whole film was in the hands of that fat man who was not amazing and a little funny.

“fu*ck！ I killed a little kid, and you're here talking to me about kung fu? I've known you for so long, and you haven't even performed kung fu for me! ”

"Hey! Do you think I won't? ”

"Of course you won't, look at your shape!"

This riverbank scene amused Fan Xiaoye, and the director was obviously ridiculing her husband's figure.

And immediately after, Ray went to pick up the girl again, willing to stay at the hotel and wait for Harry's call. Harifi asked him to support the thunder, and he was willing to direct and act in the house.

"I don't know if there's a bowling alley, but you can check it out...... Okay, bye-bye! ”

Ken tilted his head, shook it nimbly, then opened the door and slammed it shut. The face turned, and the childlike naughtiness in his eyes was placed on this fat uncle, not the slightest awkward, but very cute.

He has already acted quite well, but he ran into a perverted boss and ordered: "Just because he goes out doesn't mean he's gone, you go outside the door and have a look." ”

“……”

Ken was stunned for a while, so he had to open the door again, still tilting his head and shaking it twice, it was simply loveless.

"Poof!"

The value of black humor is to make you laugh when it is cheap. Julianne Moore couldn't help it, covered her mouth and bowed her head, and Tom Hanks next to her was also uneasy.

Nearly halfway through, it was finally time for the drug scene.

Colin Farrell expertly sucks powder, shivers, and has bloodshot eyes...... Chu Qing's movements were clumsy, pinching the paper tube and sucking it, and in the next second, he suddenly turned his head, and his eyes slammed through the screen and hit the audience.

"Phew!"

Ordinary viewers only find it weird and terrifying, but there are so many acting touches that they feel far more about this scene than MacDonald.

Generally speaking, the audience's acceptance of the information conveyed by the actor seems to be very short, but in fact, it must go through the hints of the lines, the condensation of the characters, their own comprehension, etc., in order to achieve the effect.

But that look just now seemed to omit the whole process, and directly collided with the deepest part of everyone's secret.

This kind of performance is extremely rare even for them, and it is at this moment that Tom Hanks, Ben Kingsley, and Jack Blake, all have a thought: Hey, he's really good! (To be continued.) )
