Just how unpopular is the Sundance Film Festival? This is a very strict question, and a visual analysis can be done using a set of simple numbers jù for the 10th anniversary of Sundance last year.

In 19QJ, there were only 33 works shortlisted for the film festival, and it is said that there were only more than 50 works registered; At that time, there were thirty-seven reporters who arrived in Park City to report on the 10th anniversary of Sundance, and this was the result of Robert Redford's special invitation of some reporters for the 10th anniversary; After the festival, 49 media outlets across the United States reported on it, including only one national newspaper, the New York Times, and less than 60 news stories before and after, which means that only 11 media outlets made more than one news report or follow-up report.

Such attention is not even comparable to the premiere of a movie.

The same number can be magnified by at least ten times, if not more, just by standing on both sides of the Golden Globe red carpet, and this is not counting the media that conduct exclusive interviews in the infield and backstage, let alone the knock C TV station that conducts live broadcasts.

Therefore, the Sundance Film Festival is indeed unpopular, and even though "Vulgar" rose strongly in late '19, the Sundance Film Festival, which was raised in early 1995, still did not receive any applications from journalists willing to come and interview. Therefore, the official organization of the organizing committee did not arrange for reporters to contact and arrange reporters' schedules and other related matters at all.

But who would have predicted that Hugo turned down the Ballon d'Or in favor of Sundance, a decision that became headlines in an instant.

Kayla Cole did not anticipate Hugo's choice of Sundance at all, which is arguably almost all media opinion.

Although there is ̈vulgar "first, although there is ̈before sunrise" in the front, although Hugo's important role in inspiring independent films has been talked about by countless media outlets, the idea has not really entered people's minds, so when similar choices like Sundance and the Golden Globes appear, people almost assume that the latter should be chosen.

What's more, this is not a random Ballon d'Or, combined with various circumstances, Hugo is very likely to get his first Ballon d'Or trophy, people don't even think about whether Hugo will attend this event one by one, because isn't it a matter of course? The major media have already risen to discuss the issue of Hugo's chances of winning the award early.

But now, Hugo directly poured a basin of cold water and told all the media: I'm not going to the Golden Globes, I'm going to Sundance

This caused an uproar in an instant. Then it set off a chain effect, which was also something that no one expected, although the Golden Globe Awards were amazingly attractive, it can be said that no media wanted to miss this event; But Hugo's appeal is no less impressive.

First of all, after Hugo set off a frenzy of independent films with ̈vulgar", this time he went one step further, bringing everyone's attention to the Sundance Film Festival, which is an independent film paradise, so what will independent films do in 1995 after the sudden rise of 19ql? Perhaps, Sundance will give a little clue

And then ̈Before Sunrise" The work itself is also full of topics, whether it is Hugo's screenwriting debut, or the collaboration between Hugo and Charlize, which makes this work full of appeal. People can't help but wonder what kind of works Hugo will contribute as a screenwriter, and at the same time, they are even more curious about what sparks Hugo and Charlize will rub together.

Another point that cannot be ignored is that although there was a tough confrontation between Hugo and reporters at the end of last year, this breaking point lasted for a long time and became the biggest attraction at the end of 19ql; But since the album "Bathing in the Morning Light", Hugo has not officially appeared in front of the media for more than four months, and this Sundance Film Festival is an opportunity for media reporters to harass Hugo in the open, and Hugo is bound to deal with reporters in order to promote ̈Before sunrise, this is a once-in-a-lifetime occasion - originally reporters expected this occasion to be the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, but now it has been replaced by Sundance, and the attraction is just as strong.

Followed by Nicholas McClen, a huge lineup of more than forty reporters arrived at Park City, outnumbering even Sundance's original state media reporters, and invading Park City like a warm spring wave.

So, you're saying Hugo is in Park City now? Kayla could barely contain her excitement and shouted excitedly. For independent film lovers, Hugo has a special meaning, maybe not everyone likes ̈ vulgar", maybe not everyone likes Hugo, but there is no doubt that Hugo has made the whole of Hollywood witness the excellence of independent films, and it is amazing.

It's as if the band Nirgo was born in 19, whether people like the music of Nirgo or not is put aside for the time being, but Nirgo did replace rock and roll into the mainstream market, and people refocused their attention on rock and roll, and ̈ Don't mind "The excellent results of this album have attracted more curious eyes, whether people like it or not, at least after the entire mainstream public has repaid attention to rock and roll that has been silent for more than ten years, forming a virtuous circle. This in turn sparked interest in other rock music other than grunge and other rock bands other than Nirgo.

So, while Pearl Sauce's influence is comparable to that of Nirgo, and Pearl Sauce's album sales have even surpassed ̈Don't mind", when people judge the history of rock music, it is clear that Nirgo's historical status is much higher than that of Pearl Sauce. The significance lies in the first shot of the earth-shattering rock

Now ̈ vulgar" is also important in this way, and Hugo is the soul of the whole film - even not inferior to Quentin Tarantino's role, because Hugo not only gives the film the core, but also brings attention to the film.

So, Kayla knows exactly what Hugo's presence in Park City means, first ̈ vulgar", and then Sundance, Hugo has brought enough attention to the rise of independent films, and what heights the development of independent films will reach in the future depends on the efforts of these independent films themselves. It's as if the rise of Nirgo has paved the way for the explosion of new metal rock.

̈ If I'm not mistaken, yes, yes. Nicholas also felt the vitality of the young girl in front of him, and his tone became relaxed, ̈Don't you know about this? I thought you were a big fan of the movie, so I came here to ask you what you think of the festival and want to know more about Sundance. To be honest, I don't know anything about this film festival except Robert Redford. ”

Although Kayla had already liked Hugo before this, today, Kayla admires Hugo, because Hugo can choose Sundance in the current situation of the Golden Globes, which is a wisdom and calmness that is difficult to describe in words, which makes her have to admire it.

̈No, I'm a big fan of Sundance, but I haven't been able to find the movie catalogue for the past two days, and I haven't looked for relevant information in the official bulletin board, so I don't know what to expect in the next few days. Kayla explained incoherently, her tone of excitement revealing the turmoil in her heart.

Although the Sundance Film Festival has gone through its first decade, many supporting facilities have not kept up, far less complete and comprehensive than the three major European film festivals, which is also related to the fact that the production and cast of many independent films are not easy to find and investigate, after all, it is now the nineties without the Internet.

So, when did Hugo come to Park City? Also, when will his movie be released? Why didn't the organizing committee schedule an official press conference? Kayla expressed her excitement with a barrage of questions.

Nicholas couldn't help but laugh, ̈ That's what I'm trying to discover. ”

̈Oh, oh" Kayla then remembered, just now Nicholas came to ask about her film festival, she took the initiative to say, ̈Come with me, the organizing committee of the film festival does not have an official venue, but only an office, and we can find all the relevant information about the film festival there. ”

Kayla greeted warmly, completely different from the vigilant and vigilant situation just now, ̈If you want to check the schedule of movie screenings every day, you can go to the entrance of the venue where the film is screened, and it will be updated at 6 o'clock every morning. ”

Nicholas followed Kayla through the simple and simple streets of the town of Parker City, and although it was a similar winter bleak scene, the temperature seemed to have risen and warmed up thanks to Kayla's laughter. And along the way, the passers-by seemed to know Kayla, and everyone greeted Kayla, and Kayla responded excitedly, and loudly told everyone, ̈Hugo has come to Park City"

Almost everyone heard the news, the first reaction was cheers, and the second reaction was to follow Kayla's line of sight and cast a verifying gaze to Nicholas, which made Nicholas find it very interesting: it seems that quietly, Hugo has become a symbol, a sign of innovation and a new era of innovation for rock, and a sign of innovation and innovation for independent films, and Hugo seems to have the expectations of countless people.

Nicholas nodded in the affirmative with a very high nod, which immediately caused a second round of cheers.

In this way, Nicholas and Kayla walked towards the organizing committee's office together, but the snowy streets of the town were no longer cold, as if the whole town had woken up, and the heat and excitement could be clearly felt in every corner, even if the cold wind kept blowing in the face, it still gave people the illusion that spring was coming.

This feeling is very subtle. …… ）.
