Hollywood Hunter

Near ten o'clock, James Mangold and his entourage rushed from the hotel where they lived to the Egyptian Theater in Park City. They were shocked to see the crowds outside the theater.

The road that was not spacious outside the Egyptian theater was almost completely blocked at this time. Some vehicles could only stop flames and stop at the same place. Among the crowds of people, the most noticeable thing is probably that many people held up high to buy tickets Brand.

Seeing Mangold approaching, it seemed that he was going straight into the Egyptian theater. A young man in a black jacket immediately came over and followed his girlfriend.

"Hey, man, is there a ticket for "This man is from the earth", how about selling it to us, two of them, I paid $1500."

Hearing the quotation from the youth, James Mangold, who is actually not lavish in life, couldn’t help but feel depressed, but quickly suppressed his thoughts and shook his head to refuse, pulling the girlfriend beside him to bypass the other party and continue to move forward: “Sorry, Man, we don’t buy our tickets."

The young man seemed to have noticed Mangold’s intentions, the dollar gave up, and immediately said: "2000 dollars, man, this is the highest price. My girlfriend and I can only stay in Park City for a weekend, so I hope to see Victoria today. Stello’s new film has two thousand dollars. You can wait to watch it on other days of the week, right?"

James Mangold didn't stop but just shook his head: "I'm sorry about this, man, but I really can't sell it."

Seeing that Mangold's attitude was firm, the young man turned to the other three who were with Mangold, but still no avail. He could only find other goals.

Just a short distance of more than ten meters was entangled by other ticket seekers, and James Mangold and his party finally entered the Egyptian Theatre.

Unlike several screenings in the past few days, security screenings are also set up in the Egyptian theater today. Audiences who enter by ticket not only have to pass through security gates, but also are subject to strict scrutiny from the sharp eyes of security inspectors who are obviously not ordinary bodyguards.Moreover, the audience with backpacks will be politely invited to the side to store the parcels, and it is not allowed to bring them inside.

Probably in order to calm down the grievances that the audience may receive from security screening, today's audience can receive a snack drink for free.

James Mangold passed the security check and received free popcorn and cola. Thinking about the $2,000 he just gave up, he still felt a little painful.However, from the security details just now, everyone can be sure that Simon Westero will definitely be present today.

This is more exciting than today's movie.

James Mangold is not a pure audience. He is a director, and he brought his work this time.

Feature film debut.

Prior to this, the 31-year-old Mangold had been in the movie circle for ten years. When he graduated from the California Academy of Art, Mangold joined Disney. He once participated in the screenwriter of Disney's "The Adventures of Oliver". After leaving from Disney, moved to New York, while studying at Columbia University Film School, while continuing to look for various opportunities.

In recent years, the film industry has become more and more prosperous. Damenli Entertainment's high-end film industry has continuously used Xiaoboda to allow many interested entertainment industry capitals to see opportunities to enter the market, allowing many shallow filmmakers to show their talents.

It is against this background that James Mangold was lucky to get the investment in his first feature film "Unspeakable Love Story" and then went all the way into the Sundance main competition unit.

It seems to work from the beginning.

The movie will not premiere until next Wednesday, but a person in charge of Gaomen Pictures who has watched the film in advance has already contacted them and tried to buy the distribution right of "Unspeakable Love Story" in advance. Mangold signed the next three film contracts.

Fancy a new filmmaker in the circle, often only cautiously sign a two-part film for trial.

Highgate Films tried to sign three film contracts with Mangold at one time, and people who responded no longer could predict the unusualness.

Not only that, Mangold also received an invitation tonight at Simon Westero Hilltop Villa Party.

Although the reply to Gaomen Pictures is that he needs to think about it again, James Mangold has decided to agree to it. Perhaps after the news comes out, other film companies will offer higher prices, but he knows that no matter where In terms of aspects, cooperation with Daenerys Entertainment, which has gained the most momentum in recent years, is your best choice.

Because Daenerys Entertainment provides not only treatment, but also the career development prospects.The new directors discovered by Daenerys Entertainment over the years can almost be described by Fei Huang Tengda.

Entering the screening hall, the Egyptian theater with more than 500 seats is almost full.

Tickets for old-fashioned theaters have no seat restrictions. There are some empty seats in the front row, but that obviously belongs to the important guests today.Mangold and his party could only find the last few positions, but they could not be connected together. Only Mangold and his girlfriend Cathy sat together, and the other three friends could only go to other scattered places.

After sitting down, feeling the fiery atmosphere of the debate in the theater, James Mangold was inevitably looking forward to it.

It's hard to hope to compare with Simon Westero, but at least, he hopes that one day his movie premiere will have such a highly sought after grand occasion.

It was really distracting, and his girlfriend Cathy patted him, reminding: "Look, Westeros."

In the suddenly quiet atmosphere of the theater, James Mangold quickly looked up.

Simon Westero and Robert Redford walked out of the background side by side with a smile, and were accompanied by other celebrity figures who were quite familiar with them. The remaining seats in the front row were quickly occupied by these big coffee.

Girlfriend Cathy still whispered in his ear: "That's Nicholas Cage, so handsome. And Quentin, really ugly. Qusi Gove's body doesn't seem to be that tall, obviously Cindy. Crawford suppresses, hey, Jim, you see, they seem to be competing with Westeros. The Cohen brothers are also coming. They lost so badly in the "Money Empire" last year. Cooperating with Liz Entertainment, the new film should return to the type they are good at. Whit Stillman, his "Metropolis" is very interesting, and last year's "Barcelona" was a lot worse. Nicole Kidman, wow Oh, I didn’t expect her to come. Last year, this woman was really beautiful. She has sold three consecutive big movies. I heard that she recently joined Gus Van Sant’s new film. It’s smart. My style, but she failed to sit next to Westeros, it seems that she fell out of favor. Hello, Jim, look, is that the director of "Sex, Lies and Video" Steven Soderberg Ge, will he also join Daenerys?"

James Mangold was actually looking at a series of big coffees in the front row. Hearing his girlfriend asking about it, this followed her guidance. He was not familiar with Soderbergh and could only judge roughly , Nodded: "It should be."

Cathy Conrad fell back into position and suddenly lowered some voices: "So many big coffees are under Daenerys, Jim, do you think it's a good idea to join this company again?"

James Mangold did not think about it.

Daenerys Entertainment is almost equivalent to more than half of Hollywood.However, correspondingly, because a large number of top filmmakers have joined, internal resource competition will also be fierce.

However, just slightly loosened, James Mangold once again took his attention and said to his girlfriend: "If Daenerys just signed a contract with me, maybe I will hesitate. It is now a three-time one. This shows that Daenerys Entertainment is very optimistic about me. It’s silly to miss this opportunity."

Cathy Conrad listened to her boyfriend's words, thought for a while, then nodded, and said, "You said, is Simon Westero personally optimistic about you, or he won't sign three at once ."

Of course James Mangold had thought about this, but he did not dare to be too extravagant, saying: "There may be an answer tonight."

At the Simon Westeros Hilltop Villa party at night, if a young super tycoon treats him differently, something may be certain.However, even if not, James Mangold will not change his attention.

After Simon and his team sat down, the time soon came at ten o'clock in the morning.

Robert Redford walked onto the stage with a microphone in his hand, smiled and glanced at everyone in the auditorium, saying: "This is a very interesting movie, I just asked Simon, why did such an idea come up, and still A small film with a production cost of only 1.5 million US dollars, which is too insignificant for him now? He said he hopes that everyone can see a possibility, a film with unlimited creativity, as long as everyone To exert your creativity, any other external factors are insignificant. So, let us enjoy this "This Man From Earth" together."

In the applause of all, Robert Redford stepped down and the lights in the auditorium dimmed.

Since the film’s inception, Simon Westero’s new film has been the focus of attention of many media. However, before this premiere, except for all the speculations caused by the name of the movie, no other information was released. The media and fans Curiosity is also mentioned as the highest.

On the big screen, after the opening of Gaomen Pictures, the picture lights up.

At first it was a beautiful set of empty mirrors. The cold and cold atmosphere in the mountains in winter was accompanied by a light and ethereal soundtrack, which directly introduced the audience to some inexplicable emotions.

Soon, the camera freezes on a white male who is carrying boxes on the pickup.

Everyone recognized at a glance that this was the actor George Clooney.

The actor who has been in Hollywood for many years has been operating at the same time in the past year. He first became famous in the hot story "Emergency Room Stories". Recently, he became a leading actor in Westeros, and his popularity has once again greatly increased. There are signs of entering the first-line cafe.

After a while, the other characters appeared quickly.

After a simple conversation, the audience quickly understood the ins and outs of the matter.

A university professor named John Oldman resigned and planned to leave, and a group of colleagues came to see him off.

At the same time, foreshadowing and suspense soon appeared.

Everyone was surprised by John's sudden departure.

John and Elizabeth Perkins played female colleague Sandy who had a spark before.

Another colleague, Edith, noticed a painting that John was planning to put on the car, thought it might be the authenticity of Van Gogh, and recommended him to be identified.

John seemed to care about the movement of another colleague Will, and seemed to be a bit lost for Will's absence. Hearing that the other party arrived later, he also expressed a gratifying expression.

Everyone chatted and entered John's cabin together.

The topic continues.

Everyone was reluctant to leave John, and they came to the bottom.

And again led to a suspense.

John's appearance has never changed in the past ten years. This is the talent that many female colleagues around him envy.

In the follow-up discussion, another beautiful student, Linda, played by a colleague, Aite and Qusi Gaofu, who talked to the teacher about the relationship between teachers and students, also appeared one after another.

Facing everyone's desperation, John finally started a certain topic very carefully.

Is it possible for human beings to live forever?

Sitting here are university professors. After hearing this question, they began to analyze the possibility of this matter from their own professional perspective.

Until John inadvertently said that he almost had a chance to go sailing with Columbus.

The scene was suddenly quiet.

In the screening hall of the Egyptian Theatre, the plot has reached this point, and the time has passed unconsciously for 20 minutes.

Simon has always believed that the highest standard of a good movie is to make the audience completely unable to feel the passage of time. Although this movie does not have any CG effects of crash and explosion, it is only a slowly unfolding plot and a tacit understanding between a group of actors. 'S performance did the same smoothly.

In 20 minutes, the first climax of the plot appeared, and the audience's attention was again concentrated in the auditorium.

Also faintly aware of the core theme of this movie.

The story of an immortal.

On the big screen, for a moment of silence, everyone's first reaction was that John was joking.

John also took the opportunity to discuss this topic with a joke mentality. With the deepening of the topic, John's argument that he is an eternal life without flaws has become more solid, and you have begun to produce more and more shocks and doubts.

Everyone began to know that John was probably an immortal who had lived 14,000 years old.

Knowing that John's body has a strong recovery ability, he has experienced various diseases and is safe, and even no scars have appeared.

At the same time, I also know the reason why John is different from ordinary people. This is the accumulation of endless time.

In 50 minutes, the plot came to the second climax.

In the shock of everyone, John easily pulled a simple arched bow and accurately shot the arrow on a tree trunk outside the hut.

The recurve bow that appeared in the original film is just a pure prop. The colleagues failed to pull it apart, and John also did not get started.Simon made changes to this detail, abandoned the original recurve bow, and deliberately found a strong bow that was probably five stones according to ancient standards.

To pull the bow apart, according to Western standards, it requires 300 pounds of arm strength.

At that time, no one in the crew was able to pull apart, including many of the avatars they found.Therefore, this scene was actually done by Simon as a stand-in during the last visit.

Although it was very laborious, it was pulled away smoothly.

Moreover, after only five attempts, Simon accurately shot the arrow on the target trunk.

This small detail once again made the main creator who participated in "This Man From Earth" privately feel that this movie is Simon Westero's "personal biography".
