"&"Bang bang! Bang bang! Bang bang! ”

The city of Park reverberated in unison as a small town nestled in a valley surrounded by mountains, and the noisy and powerful beats echoed in the valley as if there were thousands of spectators in the distance, making the whole town dance to the melody of the beat as if it were wearing red dancing shoes, and the joyful tap dance steps resounded all over the world.

This is the Sundance Film Festival that is destined to go down in history. Not only because of Hugo's appearance, not only because the reporters gave this unpopular film festival attention for the first time, not only because this self-entertaining family gathering appeared on the national stage for the first time, but also because when Joseph and Samora led the audience of more than 600 people to beat the rhythm of "bang", the whole North American continent heard this blood-boiling sound.

Hugo was shocked, Charlize was also shocked, they didn't expect that Joseph and Samora, who had disappeared for more than half an hour, actually came up with such a method with the organizers, which not only brought out the enthusiasm of the fans to the fullest, but also made the scene an orderly sea of joy.

"Bang Bang", this is the beat that the young volcano used to express their support for the band during the tour, there was no cheer or shout, just the uniform beat can create an incomparably powerful momentum, and even at the release of the new album "Bathing in the Morning Light", this shocking beat directly gave birth to "Young Volcano (young. voloes)" song, thus giving fans who are glorious to death an official unified title for the first time.

But today, Hugo is witnessing such a strong voice of support in a cinematic occasion and a mecca for independent cinema.

In fact, independent films are very similar to indie rock: full of personality, niche and unique, not included in the mainstream, ignored and excluded by people, wide variety but weak competitiveness, forever wandering on the margins, and struggling to survive...... However, glory to death led indie rock to create another world, and Hugo made the world turn its attention to independent films.

So, to describe the "young volcano" of indie rock fans, to describe the avid fans of independent films, is so apt and perfect.

At this moment, the scene is like a volcano, and countless young flames are beating forever, igniting all the oxygen in the air, making the scene a sea of flames, and the entire valley has become an active volcano!

Hugo was stunned, but then a smile quietly outlined the corners of his mouth. Yes, although once the fans lose control, the situation will become terrible; But on the other hand, the reason why they lose control is because the fanaticism in their bodies is constantly exploding, and their support methods may not be right, but it cannot erase their enthusiasm. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to safety, but it is not necessary to be in the army.

Because the group of fans, for artists, is the cutest person in the world. Their enthusiasm, their madness, and their support are the driving force for artists to keep moving forward, and the surging volcanic eruptions are the source of motivation for artists to continue to work hard. At the same time, it is also a bridge for artists to return to society.

The power of role models is not only the influence generated by the artist's every move as an idol, but also the powerful influence reflected in the supporters after the artist leads by example.

Hugo relied on his influence to make people pay attention to the horror of the witch trial, and relied on his influence to make people aware of the danger of media interests, perhaps, Hugo can now rely on his influence to let people know that the safety and self-control of fans not only have the awareness of fans themselves, but also the responsibility of artists.

So Hugo straightened his back and turned his head to look at Charlize who was standing beside him, and Charlize was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

It's one thing to hear about it, it's another thing to feel it live, and even on TV and in person it's very different. Although Charlize once saw the shock of the new album launch of "Bathing in the Morning Light" on the TV screen, when she experienced it on the scene today, the overwhelming rhythm and wave concentrated her almost instantly, like a tidal wave, like thunder, like a volcano shaking the mountains.

"Bang bang", the neat and shocking beat with the enthusiastic and crazy expressions, all the audience seemed to turn into red magma, surging in Charlize's eyes, and the almost rushing magma could even make her feel the burning sensation on her skin!

Hugo patted Charlize on the shoulder, and she grabbed Hugo's arm in a daze, and the two of them walked forward. Fifty yards seemed so close and yet so far away that you couldn't feel the steps under your feet, but in the blink of an eye you were in the middle of an erupting volcano, and the thrill of being so close was that the heart was detonated in an instant, and the violent impact made the breathing stop abruptly, and then when I felt the fresh air again, it was already a wave of scorching steam.

The "bang" applause was like a wave of a hundred stories high, rising high above his head, as if he would smash down on his head and face in the next second, and then smash himself into countless pieces, melting into this raging magma.

Hugo looked at Joseph and Samora, who were already reveling, and the helpless smile on the corner of his mouth was clearly transmitted to the eyes of the two people, and then he saw Samora whistling excitedly, and Joseph's tense face also laughed brightly, obviously both of them were very satisfied with Hugo's reaction.

Hugo and Charlize didn't stop, just paused slightly, and continued to walk through the magma. In fact, neither Hugo nor Charlize were dressed up today, because this is the Sundance Film Festival, because there is no formal red carpet here, so Hugo wore a dark blue T-shirt, denim blue plaid shirt, washed blue patch jeans and a navy blue motorcycle jacket; Charlize opted for a pearl white mao coat, navy blue jeans and a sky blue studded leather jacket, and stepped on a pair of big red pointed-toe mid-heel heels.

The two men didn't look like young men going to the rock school at all, not at all like entertainers attending movie premieres. But it is precisely this kind of costume that is seamlessly connected with the thick and crazy atmosphere of the scene, and such a down-to-earth ordinary costume makes everyone on the scene blend in.

As Hugo and Charlize marched, the crowd behind them gradually closed, as if the waters of the place where Moses had crossed the sea merged. When the two of them walked to the back panel at the entrance of the movie theater, all the more than 600 people gathered into a vast ocean, and the echo of "bang bang" made the whole valley sound noisy and earth-shattering, and I am afraid that Salt Lake City, not far away, could feel the overwhelming enthusiasm here.

At this moment, even the reporters couldn't stand it anymore, put down the cameras in their hands, and began to join in this grand carnival. This is Hugo's real appeal, beyond the chaotic fear of three days ago, beyond the noise of the Golden Globe Awards, beyond the value of ordinary artists to the audience, and even beyond the influence of authorities and news media on ordinary people, the powerful influence that can produce infinite wavelengths with a single gesture has become the decisive one in the history of the 11th Sundance Film Festival. Motivation.

The main creative crew of "Before Sunrise" is very small, Alex did not show up because he was still busy with the filming of "Happy Family", and producer David Geffen did not plan to show up and stayed behind the scenes, plus the screenwriter and the actor are the same person, so Hugo, Charlize and Richard Linklater came to the scene, that's all.

But just these three people were enough, and when the "bang-bang" appeal finally came to an end, the screams and shouts of the scene were completely released, and Robert Redford came to the scene under such a sensational scene.

As the founder of the Sundance Film Festival, Robert often attends the premieres of films to express his support and encouragement, and it is no surprise that he is here today. In fact, in the eyes of many people, Robert and Hugo have had a holiday, because Robert has always been close to Brad Pitt, starting from "Big River Love", and then Brad also benefited from Robert's extensive connections in the circle and benefited a lot.

People say that Brad is very similar to Robert when he was young, and even like a mold printed, handsome appearance and outstanding tough guy temperament are worthy of the title of "golden boy", so Robert has always been very close to Brad. Because of the rivalry between Brad and Hugo, Robert naturally didn't like Hugo.

But when it comes to the Sundance Film Festival, Robert's most important brainchild, things are different. Leaving aside what Hugo and "vulgar" mean to independent cinema - because "vulgar" didn't make its fortune at the Sundance Film Festival anyway, Hugo's willingness to bring "before sunrise" to Park City, and bring the media spotlight over, even stealing a lot of the Golden Globe Awards, was crucial for Robert.

This means that Robert's original intention to make the public feel the charm of independent films has taken the most important step.

Therefore, Robert came to the premiere of "Before Sunrise" for the dream of Sundance, which was also expected.

No, Robert didn't just come to cheer, he even took over the work of the host and started a short interview with the main creators at the premiere, which greatly surprised the reporters.

Could it be that Robert intends to abandon Brad in favor of Hugo, who has a greater impetus for independent cinema?
