Hollywood legendary director

The Sundance Film Festival, which lasted for two weeks, finally came to an end, and all 28 exhibited works appeared on the stage, bringing the carnival of film lovers to an end again. Many people are a little nostalgic or reluctant to give up. Went to the main venue to attend the closing ceremony and the awards ceremony that will be held tonight.

After today, Park City will return to the peace of the past, waiting for next year.

Lehman and George brought Ryan and others to the venue early. After a while, Lehman saw Miramax's people also arrived at the scene.

Harvey Weinstein looked as usual, and there was nothing special about his calm expression. Originally, Lehman wanted to see if this person would behave excessively.After all, he and George left him out again.

However, Koris, who was standing next to Harvey, raised his mouth slightly, and looked at Lyman wantonly, with a strange expression in his eyes.

It seems to be watching a joke?Is it joking, picky, or mocking?

It's really inexplicable.

Lehman thought, could it be that the last time he was put on one side, people became stupid.

Immediately, he showed a very polite smile and waved his right hand to Harvey Weinstein and others as a sign of friendship.

Harvey also raised his right hand in response, with a smile on his face, as if the two were close friends.

This familiarity and closeness seems to outsiders to say hello to two close friends.

"Why don't you want to negotiate with Miramax, and want me to agree to Harvey Weinstein's appointment?" George's puzzled voice sounded: "They are not easy to mess with."

Lehman hadn't told anyone about it, and naturally everyone didn't know why he was so hostile to Miramax or Harvey.

Including Ryan, he also answered at this time: "Yes, it was the same in Venice last time."

Lehman didn't turn his head, but said to himself: "Yes, they are not easy to mess with."

When George heard this, he knew that Lyman might be hiding something, and that incident was the key to Lyman's hostility towards Miramax, but he didn't want to go into it.

Everyone has their own secrets, and as a friend, all he needs is to stand firm with his peers.

"Well, it's actually nothing. They dare not do anything to Europa Pictures? If you offend it, you offend it.

"Thank you." Lyman said, looking at George seriously.

George shrugged noncommittal. "It's nothing?"

Ryan looked at the two people talking in the mist. As a smart man, he quickly noticed it, so he shut up the topic of Miramax and talked about other things.

It was Thomas who looked at the surrounding environment innocently, never paying attention to it.

A piece of music sounded and the host appeared.The award ceremony has begun!

In fact, hosting this kind of party is always the same, and the rhetoric is always the same.

"What do you understand the charm of the movie?" "What thanks?"

All in all, it's almost the same, Lehman sat down, completely boring.

"Lyman." Ryan, who was sitting next to him, obviously thought so too. He poked his head a little and said in a low voice, "This movie is about to be released. Do you have any plans for a new movie?"

Lehman nodded slightly, "Yes, I have many ideas."

Ryan is depressed, there are so many thoughts, what the hell is it?

Lehman looked over and saw that his expression was a little unnatural, and smiled in his heart.

Alas, to be honest, how come no one believes it?

But, there are many ideas, but there is really no specific new film plan.

He wanted to wait until the release of "Three Fools in Bollywood" and the feedback on the market situation before thinking about what to shoot next.

You have good grades, you can make money, and your shooting budget can be set high. If you hit the street, you should go back and study low-cost movies.

This is the reality that the director will encounter.Lehman understood.

The two of them said below, and the awards finally began.

The first award is the documentary director award.

Seeing the winners excitedly speaking, Lehman and the crowd around him gave him encouraging applause.

It can be seen from the official publications before the award ceremony that everyone’s eyes are mainly focused on "Three Fools Havoc in Bollywood", "The Last Kiss" and "Personal Speed", "Bloody Sunday" and other works. , They are also considered to be the hottest prize winners of the major awards tonight.

Therefore, when the host announced that the audience award for the World Film Division belongs to "Bloody Sunday" and the photography award belongs to "Personal Speed", George suddenly smiled and said to Lehman: "You can prepare your acceptance speech and think about what you said. Right."

Objectively speaking, George's self-confidence is justified.

With the quality of the work that the film itself is unanimously favored by the judges and film critics, coupled with the goodwill released by the reporter Robert Redford, as well as some of his own management, "Three Stupies in Hollywood" is very promising. Awards.

And just a few competitors have already gained something, making the selection ratio of "Three Fools Raise Bollywood" soaring.

Who said that foreign film festivals don’t divide the cake, it’s about interests, and people all over the world have the same virtues.

It's just that some people can take care of their face.

It is true that it is all set off by peers.

"What do you think about that stuff? Even if you win a prize, it doesn't depend on the degree of market acceptance." Lehman said indifferently.

"You don't want to get such affirmation? Moreover, the award can bring a lot of promotion to your qualifications or to the film itself."

With a gentle smile on his face, Lyman slapped his hands to applause for the next award-winning "Seduction of My Little Mom", "Besides, I actually like the audience's recognition of me."

The awards ceremony of the Sundance Film Festival proceeded at a fast pace, and the awards were announced one after another, with almost no pause.

"The movie "The Last Kiss" was nominated for the audience award."

The host said, along with his voice, the movie "The Last Kiss" appeared on the big screen.

This is a shooting style that is completely different from Lehman's realism. On the contrary, the lens has a psychedelic feel.

"The movie "Three Fools Raise Bollywood"."

When the picture turned on the big screen, Rancher satirized the dean's educational methods.

Amir-Khan's eyes were sharp, making the dean furious.

Even though it wasn't the first time anyone present saw it, they still felt shocked.

"the film......"

After talking about the two nominated films, the host said with a smile: "Congratulations, "Three Stupies Make a Big Trouble in Bollywood."

Well, he won the Sundance Audience Drama Award.

"Go," George said with a smile on his side.

Ryan and Thomas on the side looked very excited and kept applauding.

Lyman stood up, hugged everyone one by one, and then came to the aisle without delay, and stepped onto the stage calmly.

"Congratulations, congratulations, Director Lyman."

As he approached, the host was still talking good things.

After receiving the trophy symbolizing honor, the staff on the side also attached a microphone.

Then it was time to post the award speech.

In fact, Lehman hadn't practiced this thing in advance, so he didn't prepare.

At this moment, standing on the stage, his gaze swept across the hundreds of sentient beings below.

Some people are happy; some are lost; some are sneered; some are hypocritical...

"Thanks to the Sundance judges for their recognition, and thank you everyone for your love of "Three Fools Haunted Bollywood"." After the usual polite beginning, Lehman's brain tried to clarify his thoughts and continued speaking, but this Obviously it is not an easy task.

It's a bit of a test to play on the spot.

"Well, my original intention of making this film was to tell a story of this kind objectively. Fortunately, I did a good job...Uh, finally, thank my crew members, they are great. Thank you everyone!" Lehman raised the trophy in his hand and returned the microphone to the staff.

After speaking the acceptance speech, there was applause from the venue as usual.

After getting off the stage and returning to his seat to sit down, the tension in Lyman's heart has not yet dissipated.

I am embarrassed to be watched by so many people.

"Let me see the trophy." Ryan said eagerly.

"You take it." Lyman gave the trophy directly to Ryan.

Thomas on the side also leaned over and indulged in the excitement of winning together with Ryan.

They petted the trophy, as if petting a supreme treasure.

But George's expression was a bit wrong. Sure enough, when the final grand prize was unveiled tonight, he broke out a foul language, "Shet!"

At Sundance, there are a lot of awards every year, including two major sub-units of documentaries and feature films.

However, there is only one award that truly represents the biggest winner and honor, and that is the jury award.

Its importance is equivalent to the Palme d'Or in Cannes, the Golden Bear in Berlin, the Golden Lion in Venice, and the best film at Oscar.

There has always been only one grand prize!

Therefore, when Robert Rayford personally came on stage to present the awards, the atmosphere on the scene was mobilized.

In the warm applause, Robert raised the envelope in his hand, "The answer is now in my hands. I am honored. I will take the first look at what this touching choice is?" He said, he lowered. The head opened the envelope, "Oh... so it was this."

Robert raised his head and smiled, "First of all, I must declare that this award-winning work is my personal favorite. This year's Sundance can have it. It is my honor."

Robert's brief but sincere words made everyone on the scene hold their breath involuntarily.Even if there is no deliberate creation of suspense, the suspense still rises uncontrollably.

"At the 18th Sundance Film Festival, the winner of the Jury Prize is... "Personal Speed"! Let us congratulate this very outstanding work."

The answer was revealed, and George looked upset.

When "Three Stupid" won the audience award, he was suspicious, but when the results came out, his anger could not stop rising.

Seeing Robert with a hypocritical smile on the stage, he knew he was being tricked.

"What's the matter?" Lyman asked with a caring expression when he saw that George was in a bad mood.

"It's nothing."

......

The closing ceremony was over, and Lehmann got up to go backstage and engraved his name on the trophy.

Many people on the scene sent their own blessings to them, everyone congratulated each other, the scene was really lively.

"Lyman, how? How does it feel to win the grand prize." When passing by Miramax's seat, Harvey Weinstein got up and asked enthusiastically.

"not bad."

"Oh, is it so?"

"I'm going backstage first, and I'll talk later."

Seeing Lyman's figure quickly disappearing before his eyes, Harvey smiled endlessly.

He was like a wild dog fleeing hastily.

Fight with me, scum!

"We're leaving." After speaking, Harvey took the lead to walk towards the exit.

What Harvey doesn't know is that Lehman really doesn't know that Europa Pictures is the arrangements behind George.

I thought it was a surprise, but I never thought that the result would change.

But when it does happen, except for George's occasional depression, who cares!

Some people just like to think of others the same, they value it, and they will think that others also value it wishful thinking.

Does Lehman need recognition for awards?He needed it, so he turned around and threw the trophy to Ryan.

"You keep it."
