> What exactly is Robert Redford's influence in Hollywood?

Someone summed it up like this, he was the originator of the American-style blonde man, and he changed people's minds about blonde. Especially. The stereotype of things - makes blonde men sexual. Sense pronouns; He was a defender of American liberal moral values, and his maturity, his wisdom, and his courage influenced Hollywood for two decades; He relied on the western film "Haw Par Little Overlord (butch) in 1969. cassidy。 and。 the。 sundance。 kid)" was a sensation and played "Sundance" fifteen years later. kid", he founded the Sundance Film Festival. film。 festival)", which has since changed the landscape of Hollywood.

It is no exaggeration to say that Brad Pitt's rise to prominence is almost a parody of Robert's, who has even been called the second-generation heir to American-style blonde beauties.

Robert did not receive an Oscar award in his life, although he won the nomination as early as 1973 by relying on "deception in deception", but the most glorious moment of his life was to rely on "ordinary people" The film dominated the 53rd Oscar in 1981.

But in Robert's career, from a superstar in the 70s to a top producer in the 80s, and then to a defender of independent cinema after the 90s, his 30-year acting career can definitely be said to have influenced the development of Hollywood in every way.

Although for many people, especially those who have only been exposed to cinema since the twenty-first century, Robert is not a familiar name, at least not as familiar as Steven Spielberg and Francis Ford Coppola; But in the huge machine of Hollywood, Robert is a very important part, just as Steven teamed up with David Geffen and others to create DreamWorks, Robert almost single-handedly set up Sundance. His influence is evident.

Robert spent almost his entire life running the Sundance Film Festival, trying to promote independent films, and until 2014, before Hugo crossed over, he was still working on an independent film "All." is。 lost)" gave a stunning performance. Ironically, independent films are meant to resist the rigid genre of Hollywood's big studios, but due to a lack of funding and a lack of production and distribution channels, the development of films has reached a bottleneck, so they have to accept attention from Hollywood, which makes Sundance a platform to deliver independent masterpieces to Hollywood.

This is a paradoxical situation.

On the one hand, we must boycott Hollywood, and on the other hand, we cannot break away from Hollywood.

But then again, it's a question that all film festivals, all award ceremonies – and even all art – must consider: how do you balance art and commerce?

For the 11th Sundance Film Festival in 1995, they needed Hollywood's attention, they needed a platform for independent films, they needed a way for independent filmmakers to make a living while creating art, and most importantly, they needed an opportunity for the world to truly understand the charm of independent films.

So, Hugo came.

Don't say that Robert and Hugo don't have any personal grudges, even if they do, Robert is definitely willing to fight for the Sundance Film Festival, so Robert appeared at the premiere of "Before Sunrise".

"Hey, lad." Robert gave Hugo a big hug, which made Hugo a little uncomfortable.

Although Hugo and Robert seem to have had a lot of confrontations before this, in fact, this is the first time they have officially met. In the past, to deal with second- and third-tier actors like Hugo, there was no need for Robert to come forward; Later, Hugo rose too fast, but he had no intersection with Robert.

"So, welcome to Sundance." Robert said with a smile on the microphone, looking at the crowd in front of him, "This year's welcome ceremony is extraordinarily grand. Robert said meaningfully, causing another commotion at the scene, "I heard that this movie is written by you yourself?" So, how would you introduce the film? ”

Hugo was a little surprised that Robert would come to interview him in person, but he didn't think too much about it, in fact, although the media has been hyping the rivalry between him and Brad recently, the memory of Robert has long since disappeared with Tracy's silence, Hugo is a relieved person.

"Uh...... Boring movies? Hugo looked back at Charlize and Richard beside him, showed an apologetic smile, and sure enough, he saw the stunned expressions of the two people, which made the scene laugh directly, and even Robert was quite surprised, "Why?" ”

No one would call their movie "boring", and even if the movie was really boring, the crew would go out of their way to make the movie wonderful.

Hugo himself chuckled, "Because the movie ...... It's, well, boring. Hugo thought about it, or used the same word, then Robert couldn't help laughing, Charlize and Richard both had helplessness written on their faces, "I believe that everyone will have similar thoughts as me when they walk into the cinema, but I think this is a movie worth savoring slowly, maybe the movie is really boring, but in fact, there are many lines and many scenes, we have repeatedly conceived, maybe everyone can find their own voice from the bottom of their hearts from those scenes that don't seem special." ”

"Very well, if this is your strategy, I must admit that you succeeded, you managed to capture my attention, and I was a little curious about this movie." Robert said with a smile.

Hugo spread his hands and expressed helplessness. In fact, objectively speaking, "Before Sunrise" is indeed boring in the eyes of many people, this is a very special movie, those who like it are especially fond of it, and those who hate it are disdainful. But in fact, this is a movie that needs to be savored quietly, not only the lines and the interaction between the hero and heroine, but also the interaction between the male and female protagonists, in fact, Richard's shots also have a deep meaning, just like the slowly flowing Seine, which looks plain and even the same on the surface, but under the sparkling river, there is never a repetition.

"So, Richard, do you agree with Hugo?" Robert wasn't a journalist and he wouldn't keep all eyes on Hugo, so he immediately handed the microphone to Richard.

Richard didn't expect the topic to be thrown to him so quickly, he was actually stunned, "uh......" and then pursed his lips, suddenly realizing that if he wanted to find a suitable word to describe his movie, he also had only one answer, "I think it's really boring." ”

"Oh ......" There was a wail at the scene, where someone promoted their movie like this, as if to say, "Hey, don't come in and watch the movie, or you'll regret it", which is really out of the ordinary.

After Richard finished speaking, he also realized this, scratched his head in annoyance, and then saw Hugo's projected "I'll just say" look, which made Richard laugh awkwardly, and Charlize, who was standing in the middle, rolled his eyes helplessly.

Robert caught Charlize's eyes at once, so he handed her the microphone again, "So do you have any different comments?" Young lady? ”

"I guess for the sake of consistency, my answer is 'boring', right?" Charlize's witty answer immediately burst into applause, which made Charlize a little uncomfortable. The last time she attended the premiere of "Schindler's List", she wasn't the main character, but today she is. Charlize knew she had to start getting used to it — and honestly, it didn't hurt. "Actually, I think Hugo meant that this movie is like a glass of warm water."

"Warm water?" Robert asked curiously.

Hugo looked at Charlize with a smile on his face, and sure enough, Charlize understood what he meant. "In fact, many people don't like warm water, because they feel that there is no taste, they will choose orange juice and cola, but they are absolutely unwilling to choose warm water, because warm water ...... It's too boring. After Charlize finished speaking, she glanced at Hugo, and immediately saw Hugo's smile, she glared at Hugo helplessly, and immediately continued, "But in fact, if you taste this glass of water, you can feel the sweetness, which is the original taste of warm water, as long as you are willing to calm down and feel it, you will experience different things." ”

"So you're saying the movie is just a warm boil?" Robert jumped to the fore.

In fact, Charlize's explanation is very clever and correct. But when Robert says this, it sounds weird, because in film reviews, a movie is like "warm water", which is a derogatory term. Of course, "boredom" is even more so.

Charlize was stunned, she really didn't know how to answer. At this point, Hugo took over, "You know, in fact, every audience member will feel differently, maybe I want people to feel the aftertaste of warm water, but everyone drinks like soda, or whiskey, I can't say 'no', can I?" ”

Hugo's concept of stealing not only relieved Charlize, but also made the scene laugh. Warm boiled water and whiskey, the difference is really too great.

Robert also smiled dumbly, "Then let's wait and see." ”

The current Sundance Film Festival premiere is very simple, there is no question and answer session from reporters, no gossip session, just a simple Q&A interview, then take pictures, and then wait for everyone to enter. Because cinema is always the most important part.

When everyone began to enter, Robert gave Hugo a hug again, this time without the amplification of the microphone, he still officially said to Hugo, "Welcome to Sundance." Although he had already said this sentence just now, the meaning was obviously different this time.

Hugo looked at the smile on Robert's face, he could feel Robert's dedication to the Sundance Film Festival, and that enthusiasm was also the most admirable part, so Hugo said with a smile, "I hope my film is not here to smash the scene." This sentence made Robert can't help but laugh.

Compared to Brad, Robert was impressed by Hugo's maturity and ease, humor and spontaneity. (To be continued 8296929 (Dian Dian Chinese Paper) provided.
