Legendary Hollywood Director

The Sundance Film Festival, which lasted for two weeks, finally came to an end, and all 28 participating works made their debut, which brought an end to the carnival of film lovers this time. Many people are a little nostalgic or reluctant to part. I rushed to the main venue to attend the closing ceremony and the award ceremony that will be held tonight.

After today, Park City will return to its former calm, waiting for the arrival of next year.

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

Harvey Weinstein's face was as usual, and nothing special could be seen from his calm expression. Originally, Lehman wanted to see if this man would act excessively. After all, he and George snubbed him once again.

However, Chris, who was standing next to Harvey, raised the corner of his mouth slightly and looked at Lyman wanton, with a strange meaning in his eyes.

As if watching a joke? Joking, critical or sarcastic?

It was inexplicable.

Lyman wondered if it was because he put him together last time, making people stupid.

Immediately, he showed a very polite smile and waved his right hand towards Harvey Weinstein and others as a friendly gesture.

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

This familiarity and closeness, in the eyes of outsiders, it seems that two close friends are greeting each other.

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

Lyman didn't tell anyone about that, and naturally no one knew why he was so hostile to Miramax or Harvey.

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

Lehman didn't turn his head, he just said to himself, Yeah, they're not easy to mess with.

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

Everyone has his own secrets, and as a friend, all he needs is a firm companion's stance.

Well, it's actually nothing. They still don't dare to do something to Europa Pictures? If they offend, they will offend.

Thank you. Lyman looked at George seriously and said.

George shrugged noncommittally, It's nothing?

Ryan watched the two of them talking in confusion. As a smart person, he quickly noticed it, so he closed his mouth on the topic of Miramax, and turned to talk about other things.

On the other hand, Thomas looked stupidly at the surrounding environment and never paid any attention to it.

A piece of music played, and the host appeared. The awards ceremony has begun!

In fact, hosting such a party is always the same, and the rhetoric is the same.

How do you understand the charm of the movie? What thank you.

All in all, it's all about the same thing. Lyman sat down there, utterly bored.

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

Lyman nodded slightly, Yes, I have a lot of ideas.

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

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

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

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

He was thinking that he would have to wait until the release of Three Silly Bullywood and the feedback from the market before thinking about what to shoot next.

good grades,

If you can make money, you can set a high shooting budget. If you are on the street, you should go back and study low-budget movies.

This is the reality that directors will encounter. Lyman understands.

The two were talking below, and the awards finally began.

The first award is the Documentary Director Award.

Watching the winner speak excitedly, Lehmann and the crowd around him gave him an encouraging applause.

It can be seen from the official publication before the awards ceremony that everyone's attention is mainly focused on Three Silly Bollywood, The Last Kiss, Personal Speed, Bloody Sunday and other works. , they are also considered to be the favorites to win the major awards tonight.

So, when the host announced that the audience award of the world film unit belongs to Bloody Sunday and the photography award belongs to Personal Speed, George suddenly smiled and said to Lyman: You can prepare your acceptance speech and think about how to say it. Bar.

Objectively speaking, George's confidence is justified.

With the quality of the film itself, which is unanimously favored by the judges and film critics, coupled with the goodwill released by the talker Robert Redford, and some of his own management, Three Silly in Hollywood is very hopeful to win the award. awards.

And just now, several competitors have already gained something, which makes the proportion of choices in Three Silly Trouble in Bollywood skyrocket.

Who said that foreign film festivals don't share the cake, it is about interests, and the virtues of people all over the world are the same.

It's just that some people can still scruple their skin.

There is a saying that it is good to rely on peers to set off.

What do you want to do with that thing? Even if you win an award, it doesn't depend on the market's acceptance. Lehmann said indifferently.

You don't want to get that kind of recognition? Also, winning an award can give a lot of boost to your qualifications or the movie itself.

With a warm smile on his face, Lehmann clapped his hands to applaud the next award-winning Seducing My Little Mom, Let's talk about it, I actually prefer the audience's recognition of me.

The awards ceremonies at Sundance are fast-paced, with awards being announced one after the other, with little pause.

The nominee for an audience award for a feature film is The Last Kiss.

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

This is a completely different shooting style from Lehmann's realistic shooting style. On the contrary, the picture of the lens is very psychedelic.

The movie Three idiots make trouble in Bollywood.

The picture on the big screen turned, and there was a scene where Lancher satirized the dean's educational methods.

Aamir Khan's eyes were sharp, making the dean angry.

Even though it was not the first time for those present to see it, they were still shocked.

Movie......

After talking about the two nominated films, the host said with a smile: Congratulations, Three Silly Troubles in Bollywood.

Well, he got an Audience Drama Award from Sundance.

Go. George said with a sideways smile.

Ryan and Thomas on the side looked very excited and kept clapping their hands.

Lyman stood up and hugged everyone one by one, and then he came to the aisle unhurriedly and walked onto the stage calmly.

Congratulations, congratulations, Director Ryman.

As he approached, the host was still talking nicely.

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

Then came the acceptance speech.

In fact, Lehman really hadn't practiced this thing in advance, so he wasn't prepared.

At this moment, standing on the stage, his eyes swept across the various forms of sentient beings below.

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

Thanks to the Sundance judges for their recognition, and thank you for your love for Three Silly Bollywood. After the usual polite beginning, Lehman's brain tried to clarify his thoughts and continue talking, but this Obviously not an easy task.

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

Well, my original intention of making this film was to tell such a story objectively, but fortunately, I finished it well... Well, finally, thanks to my crew members, they are great, Thank you everyone! Lehmann raised the trophy in his hand and returned the microphone to the staff.

After the acceptance speech, the venue burst into applause as usual.

He got off the stage and went back to his seat to sit down. Lyman's inner tension has not dissipated.

It's embarrassing to be watched by so many people.

Let me see the trophy. Ryan said eagerly.

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

Thomas, who was on the side, also came over and indulged in the excitement of winning the award together with Ryan.

They caressed the trophy as if they were caressing a supreme treasure.

But there was something wrong with George's expression, and sure enough, when the final grand prize was revealed tonight, he uttered a foul language, Sheet!

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

However, there is only one award that can truly represent the biggest winner and honor, and that is the Jury Prize.

Its importance is comparable to the Palme d'Or in Cannes, the Golden Bear in Berlin, the Golden Lion in Venice and the Best Picture Oscar.

There is always only one grand prize!

So, when Robert - Rayford personally came to the stage to present the award, the atmosphere of the scene was mobilized.

In the warm applause, Robert raised the envelope in his hand, The answer is in my hand now, it is an honor. I will be the first to see what this touching choice is? Head opened the envelope, Oh...that's it.

Robert raised his head with a smile, First of all, I must declare that this award-winning work is my personal favorite, and it is my honor to have it at Sundance this year.

Robert's short but sincere words made everyone at the scene hold their breath involuntarily. Even if the suspense was not deliberately created, the suspense still rose uncontrollably.

The 18th Sundance Film Festival, the winner of the Grand Jury Prize is... Individual Speed! Let us congratulate this very good work.

The answer was revealed, and George was displeased.

When Three Silly won the audience award just now, he was skeptical, but when the result came out, his anger still couldn't stop rising.

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

What's wrong? Lyman asked with concern when he saw that George was in a bad mood.

nothing.

......

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

Many people at the scene sent their blessings to him, everyone congratulated each other, and the scene was really lively.

Lyman, how is it? How does it feel to win the grand prize? Harvey Weinstein asked enthusiastically as he passed the Miramax seat.

not bad.

Oh, really?

I'll go backstage first, and we'll talk later.

Seeing Lehman's figure quickly disappearing in front of his eyes, Harvey smiled incessantly.

He looked like a wild dog fleeing in a hurry.

Fight with me, scumbag!

Let's go. After saying that, Harvey took the lead and walked towards the exit.

It's just that what Harvey won't know is that Lyman really doesn't know the arrangements behind Europa Pictures, which is George.

I thought it was a surprise, but I didn't expect the results to change.

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

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

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

You keep it.
