The Sundance Film Festival audience is truly different. The questions they ask are always professional. They will discuss the technique and significance of Richard's use of long lenses. They will discuss the way Hugo and Charlize acted during the filming. They will discuss Richard's rhythmic control of plot progression, and they will discuss Hugo's implications for the characters of comedians, gypsy girls, bards, etc......
It doesn't look like a premiere at all. Instead, it's like a professional seminar. All the audience spoke enthusiastically. Almost the whole story of "Before Sunrise" is broken down for detailed analysis. This made the three leading actors Hugo, Richard and Charlize completely engaged in the discussion on the spot. So much so that the reporters on the scene were useless.
In fact, Nicholas knows that reporters have a lot of questions to ask. For example, Hugo refused to choose Sundance for the Golden Globe. For example, the Sundance Film Festival stole the limelight from the Golden Globes. For example, Hugo reappeared in public after four months. For example, the so-called "triangle" between Hugo and Charlize and Cameron, for example, the list of Oscar nominees that will be announced for another year. For example, this time Glory to Death is willing to attend the Grammys......
Every question is so exciting. can create a huge whirlpool of public opinion. can ⊥ every reporter return with a full load. But at this moment. None of the reporters took the trouble to raise these topics. It's not because the whole public opinion environment is now questioning the news media becoming profit-oriented. Even freedom of speech has become a weapon for their interests – know that the media itself is the maker of opinion. No matter how ferocious public opinion is. They can at least complete self-preservation. Make yourself invincible. So they don't need to worry about that at all.
It's because the whole Sundance vibe is so different. Unlike the Golden Globes. It's even different from Hollywood. That kind of crazy love of movies, obsession with movies, focus on the scope of movies. Make Park City feel like a secluded hideaway. Let everyone involuntarily immerse themselves in this lively atmosphere.
This left the reporters a little dazed and a little at a loss. It's been a long time since I've felt this feeling. As Hugo condemned not so long ago. When they habitually go looking for the breaking point. They completely forgot about it. The original intention of becoming an entertainment journalist: in addition to the so-called freedom of the press, in addition to the curiosity of the behind-the-scenes story. It also stems from their interest and hobby in movies and music.
This feeling is turbulent. Let the reporters stop talking. Hesitant and hesitant. In the end, he can only become a bystander.
The Q&A session for the entire premiere was originally scheduled to be thirty minutes. It lasted a full seventy-five minutes. Because "Before Sunrise" there are countless details in this movie that are worth discussing. After getting out of the technical link. The topics discussed by the two protagonists in the movie are also full of discussion. This is not just an argument between men and women. It's a debate between people.
It's hard to wait for the enthusiastic audience to gradually leave. Robert Redford appeared right in front of Hugo. He had a clear smile on his face. I waited patiently for Hugo to shake hands and hug the last spectator. Then he stepped forward." Today is a great start. ”
Hugo looked at Robert in front of him. It's a little shaky. I thought I saw Brad twenty years later. "Uh. For what? Robert only said "beginning" but did not say what the beginning was.
"In the future, you continue to appear at the beginning of Sundance." Robert said with a smile. I hope this is your first time at Sundance. At the same time, it is also an important beginning for the future. ”
Hugo was a little surprised. Because Robert is clearly courting himself. I want to be a part of Sundance's future landscape. Look at Robert's smile. Hugo suddenly realized. Why do I think Robert and Brad look alike? And not just because of appearance. It's even more because of Robert in front of him. He could see Brad Twenty Years Later when he won the Oscar for Best Picture for "12 Years in Slavery IVARAV". Less the sharpness of the actors. But it has more of the roundness of the producer - more accurately, the calmness of the politician.
"So. Park City always welcomes me? Hugo just shook his head slightly. But he still said it with a smile. He's also a pun. It's not just about the Sundance Film Festival. There is also Robert's rejection and opposition to Hugo all the time.
Robert, the old fox, could not have been caught up in Hugo's words. He just replied." Don't you like Park City? This is a response to Hugo. Although Robert didn't say that he and Hugo Bing released their suspicions. But it did take the initiative to extend an olive branch.
Ambiguous discourse in such social situations is often plausible. But now Robert is clearly more grateful to be able to appear at the Sundance Film Festival "Before Sunrise". So he's a little bit more proactive." This movie is truly a masterpiece. Where did you get your whimsical ideas from. ”
"Whimsy? Are you sure you're talking about my movie? Hugo's words made Robert chuckle. Before sunrise" precisely because there is no whimsy. So from the simplest and most basic starting point. make up the film.
"But the audience loved it. Isn't it? Robert wasn't embarrassed at all. Still speaking freely." I love it too. A hundred minutes of conversation. But it's not boring at all. It's an amazing thing. ”
"I don't expect the movie to get the same reviews when it comes out." Hugo was very sensible." Before sunrise, "too literary, too petty, too individual. It's destined to be hard to get a movie that the masses love. Although in Sundance. Almost everyone is saying that the hundred minutes of this movie are not boring at all. But when it comes to the real public trial. But it will never be as glorious as "Sleepless in Seattle." "So. To be able to get so much love and support at Sundance. I was surprised by Richard and Charlize. Of course, I had a lot of fun. ”
Robert was surprised by Hugo's response. For the first time, he looked at Hugo seriously. Brad is four years older than Hugo. But Brad didn't feel Hugo's wisdom and composure. Hugo has a ...... Intoxicating and charming temperament. This kind of temperament is often a gift that can be condensed after the precipitation of years or the ups and downs of life. But the older Brad is not as good as the young Hugo.
Robert couldn't help but be a little more curious about Hugo. But Robert's pause was only a matter of a moment. His gaze caught several reporters standing not far away. He chuckled. Then we'll wait for the movie to be released in the United States. Let's talk about it again. As for now. I guess I'd better leave it to the reporters. Otherwise, they would be dissatisfied with Sundance. ”
After all that's said. Robert turned and calmly left. Hugo set his eyes on the back of Robert leaving. It was his first direct encounter with the founder behind the Sundance Film Festival. But you can feel the aura on him similar to Steven Pierberg and David Fen. Hugo's mind suddenly came up with the picture of the male protagonist played by Robert in the 13-year-old "One Qiē Lost", which was released in 13 years, fighting against the storm.
Nicholas stood aside. There is no hurry. He did not interrupt Hugo's musings. Just watch quietly. I've been waiting for Hugo to come back to his senses. Turn your head. That's when he greeted him with a smile." The film was a big success. Congratulations. ”
Hugo smiled and shook his head. No. I wouldn't describe it that way. You know. It's just the premiere and that's it. Don't say it hasn't been released yet. Even the opinions of film critics have not yet been released. And. You know. What the hell are you going to say? Also an unknown. ”
Nicholas immediately felt the deep meaning of Hugo's words. Immediately raise your hand in surrender." At least I liked the movie a lot. And. I came to Park City this time. Really professional. ”
"Professional?" Hugo frowned slightly. Looked at Nicholas suspiciously. He didn't understand why Nicholas used the term.
"You know. Except for the movie itself. There are so many focal points and topics to discuss. But ......" Nicholas dragged a trailing note. But seeing that Hugo did not mean to take the initiative to speak. He doesn't mind either. Let's go on." But for now. I focused all my attention on the movie. ”
"I thought it was because of the Cedar Times; It's a strict newspaper. Hugo's words made Nicholas speechless for a moment. In the end, I could only laugh helplessly.
Nicholas looked at several of his fellow reporters around him. Usually they meet Hugo. Swarming and bombing is the norm. Silence is impossible. What's more, this time there are only a limited number of reporters coming to Park City. This also means that there is a huge increase in the number of interviews and time available. To promote the film. Hugo is bound to cooperate with the interview. This is also a big reason why they abandoned the Ballon d'Or.
But now. The reporters looked at each other one by one. Obviously I have a full stomach problem. But I couldn't ask a single one. Of course. It's also partly because when reporters chose Park City. This means that they are not completely averse to independent films. At least deep down in their hearts. They were also curious about Hugo when he stood on the stage of the Sundance Film Festival. What sparks will collide.
Now." Before Sunrise" gives an answer. And the audience at Sundance gave a more detailed and vivid answer. This answer. The reporters were silenced.
Nicholas actually wanted to ask about Hugo missing out on Best Actor in a Drama at the Golden Globes. But the words came to the lips. Eventually, I swallowed it." So. For 'before sunrise; , for the Sundance Film Festival. What should I focus on? ”
Hugo couldn't help but be stunned. Straight rhetorical question." Are you asking me about the focus of your story? Nicholas shrugged noncommittally. Hugo's eyes then looked at the five reporters standing next to him. Everyone looks like they want to talk and stop. But no one opened their mouths to refute it. The smile on Hugo's lips was a little more playful.
There was silence for a moment. Hugo spoke. Movie. It's just a movie. ”。 ).
