After dinner, Jodie, who had promised to return to Cliff Peak Manor with Eric, suddenly repented, and she felt a little emotion in the heart of the woman. Eric had to send the woman back to her place.
Thursday, January 21, the opening day of the 15th Sundance Film Festival.
Eric only took Julia to Salt Lake City, Utah that afternoon. The flight from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City took only one hour. Park City, where Sundance Film Festival is held, is more than 20 kilometers east of Salt Lake City. Among the valleys. From Salt Lake City to Park City, the time is less than four o'clock in the afternoon, the opening ceremony is seven o'clock in the evening, Eric and Julia will first rush to the reserved resort apartment to stay.
Next to the foothills of the Park City Ski Resort, Julia just walked into the resort ’s apartment and could n’t wait to take off the heavy white long down jacket. He did n’t forget to complain: “It ’s so cold, I did n’t know I ’d come before Now. "
Compared with the warmth of Los Angeles, such as spring, Park City has just experienced a snowfall, and even the daytime temperature is below zero.
The heating in the apartment has been turned on in advance. Eric sent the purchase department Manager of the new line Film Industry and handed the other party their own stack of exhibiting film lists and film festival party information on the living room coffee table. Reaching out to help Julia take off his clothes, he smiled and said, "Have you not been here a few years ago?"
"No," Julia shook his head and said, "If it were not for Robert's personal invitation, and" Secret Legacy "is going to be the opening movie, I won't come over."
"Secret Legacy" is a new film of Hollywood big Director Robert · Altman. This old brand Director who is good at shoots various types of satirical movies has a calling power of Hollywood Star no less than Woody · Alan, and because Robert · Altman is extremely good at shoots In his movies, he often sees groups of Hollywood big-name stars participating in guest appearances. In addition to shoots mainstream commercials, in order to enhance the style and qualifications, Julia has also rolled out roles in several Robert · Altman films, so this time it will come to the show.
"If you do n’t like it, then we can just go back tomorrow," Eric hangs the Julia's down jacket on the hanger. He also took off his trench coat and walked to the sofa by the fireplace to sit down. Fold the data and look.
Julia walked over and leaned on Eric and said, "No, Eric, will you stay with me here for the weekend?"
It is always too busy on weekdays, and the rare opportunity for the two to get along, Eric did not refuse, said: "Okay, I see if there are any good movies."
Julia gathered his head and watched the film list of the exhibition, but after reading a few copies, he lost his interest. He took out the other materials and said: "These films are not interesting, let's participate in party."
Although it has attracted more and more attention, the Sundance Film Festival is far from reaching its peak.
The most obvious gap is that there are not dozens of films in the hands of the famous Director, nor any Hollywood well-known Actor. However, this also precisely reflects the essence of the Sundance Film Festival to support independent films and newcomers. Ten years later, although attracting more and more Oscar filmmakers, the Sundance Film Festival has become more and more commercialized.
The film list in my hand was turned over again. Eric accidentally saw a German film called "Run Lola Run". Director is Tom Tikwei, which is a nominated film of the world film unit.
Eric has not seen this movie, but has also heard of it.
Moreover, he also knows that in the past history, this film had a great influence on Doug Liman shoots "The Bourne Identity", so Doug Liman also invited Heroine Franka of "Run Lola Run" · Potente starred in Heroine Mary of "The Bourne Identity".
Looking at the screening time of "Run Lola Run", it happened to be tomorrow morning, so I folded this page of information.
Park City ’s party and Los Angeles are naturally not comparable at all. Julia is completely disinterested when looking at the series of unknown movies in the hands of Yuxing party. However, as long as she could stay alone with Eric quietly for a few days, she would like to do nothing, so she threw away the party data and held her arms around Eric.
"Nà, let's go to watch this movie tomorrow morning," Eric signaled the data of "Run Lola Run" to Julia, looked at the time, and said, "What clothes are you going to wear? It's almost time to prepare?" "
"It doesn't matter, there is no red carpet," Julia shook his head, said: "I wear clothes."
Although the sky in winter is very short, because the entire Park City is covered with snow, the sky is still very bright in the evening, but the temperature is getting colder.
In front of the theater holding the opening ceremony, reporters holding camera and film fans in twos and threes who came to participate in the film festival gathered around. Although their expressions were curious and expectant, they did not watch those fans at the large award ceremony. Excitement.
In fact, this is also very normal, except for Robert · Radford, the founder of the Sundance Film Festival, the biggest star that everyone can see so far should be regarded as the "Secret Legacy" crew who entered the theater not long ago. , But this big name is only relative to those unknown filmmakers.
Director of "Secret Legacy" is Robert · Altman, and the main stars are Julian Moore, Chris · O'Donnell and Liv Taylor. These are currently only familiar in Hollywood, although there are still some The old drama bones of Hollywood acted as supporting roles, but they couldn't excite the onlooker young fans.
Lifting camera to the shoots crew of the Adventures of Cole who just entered, Tony · Gerson, a reporter from Hollywood Reporter, glanced a bit listlessly, and began to come from the side Los Angeles, a media colleague, talked about how to get the North America Composer Association's admission ticket to party in Park City on the weekend.
Although it is not in the movie world, many first-line singers will attend this party, and they will definitely be able to get a lot of useful news.
A black Land Rover parked slowly in front of the theater. Tony did n’t care too much. Anyway, there are many opportunities for shoots from the roadside to the theater. However, after a glance at his peer, his eyes suddenly stopped. Staring wide and reaching hard, he poked at Tony and said, "Look, God."
It feels like there is some fuss about Tony in the industry. He turned his head and looked at it. The first thing he noticed was the Julia wearing that white down jacket. He had just raised camera shoots, but he immediately found out that the young man Julia was holding at random seemed to seem, Is it Eric Williams? !
How could Eric Williams come here?
However, it is clear that Julia · Roberts cannot hold other men so intimately.
Tony is still a little bit confused, but the entrance to the small theater has been boiling. The originally scattered media reporters swarmed up and started to frantically press the shutter around, and the fans around them also screamed and tried to cross the bodyguard Delivered his signature book to Eric.
The scene was a bit chaotic for a while. Eric could only hold Julia tightly in his arms and hurried into the theater under the protection of several bodyguards.
Seeing the disappearance of Eric Williams, unwilling media and movie fans even nearly rushed into the theater. Fortunately, the bodyguards of Eric and the theater security responded in time to stop the turbulent crowd.
Robert Redford, who heard the commotion outside, quickly greeted him, greeted Eric enthusiastically, and made a few jokes before introducing a spirited white-haired old man beside him: "Eric, This is Robert · Altman. "
"Hello Mr. Altman," Eric shook hands politely with each other and smiled a few words. Robert · Radford introduced several other young Director to Eric. .
At this time, the screening hall, which is the venue of the opening ceremony, also seemed a little uproar. I just heard that Eric Williams will be attending the opening ceremony tonight. The first reaction of many people almost thought it was a joke until Eric and Robert · Radford and others walked in together, and many talents finally believed.
Feeling countless pairs of eyes with different emotions, Eric felt a little uncomfortable. Robert · Redford personally arranged the Eric to sit down. The opening ceremony will only start a few minutes before he sits together. Come down and jokingly said: "Eric, I suddenly regretted inviting you to come, depending on the situation, Sundance will definitely be very lively in the next few days."
Eric shrugged and smiled: "Sorry, Bob, I definitely don't mean to come and grab your limelight."
"Haha," Robert Radford laughed quickly: "Say to my heart, if you can come here every year, I would even be willing to give you the identity of the host of the film festival. Everyone needs a chance too much. By the way, you happen to be able to bring many people opportunities that they may not have encountered in this life. "
After hearing Robert · Radford say this, Eric just smiled, he didn't think he was an angel, and he never had this kind of consciousness. If there is a dark horse work in memory in the film, Eric does not mind shooting, otherwise, he will only look at him as a passer-by.
Speaking of that, maybe people can buy that "Run Lola Run", which is considered a leak.
But if you think about it carefully, there is no need to deliberately explain it. Since it can be selected as a world film unit and it is very promising, this film is naturally on the list of Hollywood's major Film Studio.
After all, although not many Hollywood big names will be interested in the Sundance Film Festival, the Hollywood seven major Film Studio film purchasing departments have sent teams in Sundance, Firefly, Metro Goldwyn Mayer, Fox, Columbia, these four There are a lot of families. If none of the four have taken down "Run Lola Run", Eric will have to question the vision of these people afterwards.
The commotion caused by the arrival of Eric gradually subsided, and the opening ceremony soon began.
Like the opening ceremony without any red carpet ceremony, the opening ceremony was also simple and simple. Robert · Altman and several other Sundance-born Director took the stage to give a simple speech, and then entered the opening movie "Secret The screening stage of Legacy.
Like many film festival opening ceremonies, after the ceremony was over, there were usually many guests who gave up watching the opening ceremony and left early. But today, the end of the speech, the gap between the opening film and the opening of the film, no one stood up in the auditorium, everyone seemed to instantly become a loyal fan of Robert · Altman.
Eric has watched several movies of Robert · Altman, and the most impressive and even amazing thing about Eric is the super long shot of the "Big Player" opening eight minutes.
The "Gravity" currently being produced by Eric, the opening two long shots will reach 18 minutes in length, but if you compare them carefully, the long shots of "Gravity" more test the creativity of Director, and they are subject to special effects technology Aid, the technical difficulty of this long shot is not too great, and the shoots process is not really a one-stop process, just synthesized through post-production.
But the opening eight-minute long shot of "Big Player" is really a mirror. Robert · Altman is even more of a masterful perfect scene scheduling for this long shot interspersed with dozens of characters. Absolutely.
Compared to this, "Secret Legacy", which was the opening film of the Sundance Film Festival, is much more mediocre.
This is a suspense film about the grievances between generations of women in a small town in Mississippi.
Robert · Altman likes to use death as the plot of the movie, and "Secret Legacy" is no exception. The sudden suicide of an old woman in the town detonated the grievances accumulated between the two women for decades. Although the plot seems a bit ridiculous and ironic, the plot of the film is interlocked. Eventually, when The puzzle was solved, and everyone couldn't help but sigh.
Speaking of it, Robert · Altman seems to be very similar to Woody · Alan. Both are very productive Director, and their work standards are also uneven.
However, the difference between the two masters is also obvious. Robert · Altman is better at narrative, and Woody · Alan is better at writing people. As a result, Woody · Alan was nominated for Oscar at the same time, his film also created a series of Oscar performance award nominations, but more Robert · Altman films are script and Director related technical awards, his film Actor There is not much room for play.
The opening ceremony of the movie is completed, and the time is already over nine o'clock.
Park City became colder at night. After the ceremony, Robert · Altman returned to the residence early to rest. Eric and Julia were invited by Robert · Radford and rushed to the next Yuxing party.
However, although they both belong to the movie circle, in the final analysis, the independent film group of Sundance Film Festival and Hollywood are still two worlds. Hollywood may send 'admission tickets' to some of the filmmakers who made their debut at the Sundance Film Festival, but most filmmakers with ambitions or dreams will only be short-lived in Sundance and then continue to be unknown.
So Eric did not spend too much time on party, but simply ate some food on party with Julia, and left in advance.
