Hollywood Hunter

The subtitles fell, the lights turned on again, and many talents in the projection hall felt like they were awake at first.

After a brief silence, a loud applause rang in the auditorium.Because of the small number of people, this applause can't be regarded as enthusiastic, but it also looks uniform.

Due to budget constraints and other factors, those who initially joined the crew were basically just behind-the-scenes people who had been in the low-cost independent film industry all year round.

As a film practitioner, of course, I am very attentive to the films I make.However, those movies that I have participated in in the past have been watched several times in succession, and gradually have no expectations.

Although supported by people like Brian de Palma, most of the crew originally did not think that a young man like Simon could make a great movie.The reason why many people will come to participate in the screening this time is because several big coffee will also attend.

Unexpectedly, the ending was far unexpected.

The same cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars, compared to the B-class films they used to rely on to sell meat and gimmicks, "Roller Run" is also not a mainstream commercial movie, but it is definitely a gap between heaven and earth.

Even, many people can't help but have a thought: this is the movie.

In the front row of the screening hall, although I have been surprised by Simon’s talent in film more than once, I have watched the samples of "Laura Run" more than once before, but at this time, I recall the top soundtrack in the film, David · Giller was surprised again.

Director, screenwriter, photography, lighting, editing...

Now it's the soundtrack again.

David Giller only had curiosity in his heart, and the boy sitting not far from him would have nothing to do.

Beside David Giller, Brian de Palma was also emotional.

A film, from generating an idea to finally getting into a film, the whole process has to go through too many steps, any of these deviations may lead to the film's final results and the creators' ideas are very different.

Many viewers have always criticized some bad film plots for lack of logic.

However, these bad movies will definitely have a very perfect idea or script at the beginning, otherwise, any film company will not easily make tens of millions of dollars of investment.

Perfect scripts get incomplete and bad films, which involves the completion of a film.

The completion of a film includes not only whether a film fully displays the story content that the script wants to express, but also the quality of the special effects of the film, the quality of the editing, and the quality of the soundtrack.

After watching the final film and comparing the scripts he had seen in memory, Brian de Palma realized that "Roller Run" is definitely a very high-quality movie.

If "Rola Run" is a commercial film, Brian de Palma is sure that this movie will definitely get a very good box office.

However, although it is not a commercial film, the subject matter also deviates from the mainstream, but as long as you have seen the movie, even if you are not interested in the whole story, most viewers will definitely give a very positive evaluation.

This is the advantage of "Rola Run".

Inside the screening room.

After watching the movie, everyone was thinking.

However, if the one that has been the most shocked is definitely Peter Sanders, vice president of Fox.

A few months ago, Peter Sanders was a little disappointed when he learned of the stunning effects of Simon's shooting samples.

Even if his talent in photography is a bit higher, but after all, he is just a hairy kid who has just entered Hollywood. Peter Sanders does not think that a young man like Simon can make a movie that he can barely watch.

I heard that this kid also takes care of editing and soundtrack.

This is even less reliable.

It's just a mess.

It's just a pity that the reported investment of 650,000 US dollars.

He, the vice president of Fox, was only able to get this number when he had a better year and counted a lot of wages and bonuses.

For decades in the circle, Peter Sanders deeply understood that talent is certainly important in the movie industry, but the most important thing is experience, which is experience.Without ten years and eight years of hardening of several movies, it is simply impossible to make a movie that is recognizable.

Then, just eighty minutes later, he completely subverted his long-standing cognition.

The original disapproval was also deeply shocked.

Although his ability is not excellent, but he can achieve his current position, Peter Sanders definitely does not lack the vision to judge the pros and cons of a movie.

Like Brian de Palma, Peter Sanders also realized that "Rola Run" is definitely a very high-quality movie.

Such a movie, even with a limited audience, is absolutely a breeze to achieve commercial success as long as it operates properly.

Human nature is the pursuit of perfection.

A highly completed movie is like a piece of jade carefully carved by a carver. Compared with those rough-made products, even if consumers do not like the variety of jade, they obviously prefer the more delicate one.

Thinking about it, everyone saw that they all got up and talked with Simon Westero, and Peter Sanders stepped forward, but with an absent expression, said: "Simon, I still have something to return Office, so, at four thirty, you can come over and let's talk."

Simon heard Peter Sanders, nodded with a smile, and politely sent the other party out of the screening room.

Afterwards, everyone chatted for a while, and everyone who participated in the audition left.

As male and female protagonists, Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves also specifically apologized to Simon. Both of them already have a new film about them, and they cannot go to Sundance with him in the next few days.

Simon naturally understands, not to mention Oscar, even those traditional old-fashioned film festivals, are far from what Sundance can match today.What's more, the Sundance Film Festival has no performance awards, and the leading actors of the participating films have less incentive to rush to Park City.

One after another, David Giller and Brian de Palma accidentally stayed at the end this time.

Looking at Simon, there were only two women left, and David Giller did not shy away. He said to Simon: "Sanders was just taking a gesture. You must have felt that he is such a person. So, don’t wait. Immediately agreed to his conditions, if possible, it is best to be dragged behind Sundance. In fact, Simon, I think you should take "Laura Run" to participate in some more influential film festivals, Cannes, Berlin, Venice , These are much stronger than Sundance, and with the quality of your movie, they will definitely accept it."

"I understand, David," Simon nodded and said, "Actually, I also thought about participating in the Cannes Film Festival and the like. However, the film has just been completed recently. The recent Berlin Film Festival has long missed the registration. The other two It’s too far away. Moreover, I actually hope that “Laura Run” will focus on the US domestic market.”

David Giller nodded his understanding, he actually knew that Simon gave up participating in overseas film festivals for more than that.Funding is also a very important aspect.

Moreover, even if you rush to participate, with the quality of "Rola Run", it is certainly no problem to attract attention, but because of the theme, the chance of winning is very slim, and the possibility of returning empty-handed is greater.

Several people chatted for a while, and David Giller and Brian de Palma left.

Simon retrieved a copy of "Rola Run" and left the screening room with two women.
