Superstar

\"&　　 January 25th, 1995, this is a very special day for the Sundance Film Festival, and it is also a day worth recording in the annals of history, because after this day, the Sundance Film Festival began to gradually enter In the eyes of the public, more and more audiences came to Park City to participate in the film festival every year. Later, many people even came to make a pilgrimage, thus starting the Sundance Film Festival's journey to become the world's first independent film festival. .

Of course, strictly speaking, it should be the 11th Sundance Film Festival that kicked off this prelude. But the reason why January 25th is important is that the unprepared Sundance Film Festival on this day has fallen into unprecedented chaos. The organizers and staff of the festival are like enemies: facing more than 70 A huge interview group of famous reporters and a huge movie-watching group of more than 600 spectators, simple red carpets and movie theaters languishing in the cold wind, seemed to be overwhelmed by the noise and heat in front of them at any time.

Although the Sundance Film Festival has passed ten years, each year is more like a family gathering in the field of independent film, small but warm, cozy and casual; but today, a large number of strangers have broken into this Private gatherings broke the layout and plans of family gatherings in an instant, causing the hosts to be in a hurry.

At this time, the organizers of the film festival were like this. They did not expect that the entrance of the cinema would be blocked by nearly 700 people. Although there was a red carpet to draw a passage, the temporary red blocking rope was difficult to draw the audience. The whole scene is like a channel connecting the Red Sea and the mainland, and the staff in Moses's hand seems to have insufficient mana, so the seas on both sides are always in a state of being about to collapse. It seems that as long as one is not paying attention, The entire passage will be flooded.

You know, the entire Sundance Film Festival Organizing Committee has less than 20 employees, plus the ten security guards hired every year to maintain order on the scene, even if they all go into battle, it will be difficult to stop the scene like a tsunami. General enthusiasm.

All the staff of the film festival organizer looked at each other: What should they do?

Hugo and Charlize stood at the door of the hotel, looking at each other. In fact, this is a hotel, rather than a family hotel. It is less than a five-minute walk from the venue for movie screenings. In the small town of Park City, your feet are the best means of transportation. Therefore, without explanation, Hugo can clearly see the hustle and bustle at the entrance of the cinema at this time.

After experiencing the chaos three days ago, Hugo was a little worried about the turbulent crowd. Although it was not fear and retreat, Hugo would involuntarily worry if the scene was out of control, it would cause irreversible consequences. At this point, Hugo finally realized what the top stars called "crowd phobia", not because they rejected these fans, but because the enthusiasm of these fans would be daunting after losing control.

Hugo really felt Leonardo’s thoughts after the "Titanic" and understood why Leonardo was reluctant to take commercial films for a long time after 1998—not even. Willing to make movies.

Hugo originally thought that when he came to participate in the Sundance Film Festival, everything could be controlled. After all, this is a mecca for independent films. In the early 1990s, when the commercial atmosphere had not yet invaded, it was like a paradise. But Hugo ignores his special status for independent films nowadays. The enthusiastic pursuit of these fans is definitely not inferior to the enthusiastic fans on the Golden Globes red carpet.

Thinking of this, Hugo could not help but let out a long breath, and his brows moved slightly closer to the center, "Charlize, are you sure you want to walk the red carpet with me?"

As long as he and Charlize appear on the red carpet together, and not to mention that reporters will definitely focus on the scandal again, the turbulent crowd at the scene alone will make it impossible to predict what will happen next.

Charlize's eyes widened when she saw such a terrifying crowd. The scene before her was not inferior even when she participated in the premiere of "Schindler's List". This is an absolutely unimaginable scene. Hearing Hugo's voice, Charlize turned his attention back, stared at Hugo for a moment, and then said, "Are you worried?"

When Hugo returned to the hotel in embarrassment that day, Charlize was taken aback, but after the shock, the inexplicable sense of joy made Charlize laugh, and he still laughed, so he immediately let his fellow travelers. Nicholas, Kayla and others all burst into laughter. This made Hugo, Joseph, and Samora so angry and funny, but after all, they didn't hold back, and they laughed out of it.

So now Charlize immediately reacted when he saw Hugo's worried expression. Hugo shrugged, curled his lips, and the expression "who knows what would happen" was clearly written on his face, which made Charlize feel a little more relaxed.

Charlize couldn't understand Hugo's mixed psychology towards fans, after all, she hadn't experienced it yet. But as a bystander, Charlize has seen Hugo's tragic situation after being besieged or harassed by fans several times, so she can vaguely feel Hugo's worries, but she can't fully understand it.

"Don't worry, there is no formal red carpet here today. It's just a... process." Charlize tried to comfort Hugo. In fact, the Sundance Film Festival does not have a formal red carpet now, although there is a red carpet on the floor. , But it only allows the crew to have a walking channel, and there is no arrangement for fans to cheer and reporters to take pictures, which means that the red carpet does not give any meaning. This will happen today, and it is also the first time in the history of the Sundance Film Festival.

"Furthermore, they also know what happened a few days ago, and they will definitely pay attention now. Moreover, the main committee also called Joe and Samora over, and they will definitely do a good job of security." Charlize went on. Speaking of, Joseph and others met with the main committee 30 minutes ago to discuss how to arrange today's premiere.

In general, the premiere of the Sundance Film Festival is more like an exchange meeting than a promotional occasion. Before the movie starts, the reporter will have interview time, and then the main creative staff will briefly introduce the movie; after the movie is finished, everyone will start discussing the movie-without propaganda, it is more like a discussion meeting for fans .

But today, the enthusiasm of the fans will definitely not end with Hugo hastily.

From another perspective, the Sundance Film Festival does not want to end arbitrarily. This is an opportunity for the film festival to rise strongly, and they naturally cannot miss it. I heard that Robert Redford personally discussed with the main committee staff yesterday and made arrangements for today's premiere. So Joseph and others also went to help.

Hugo sighed helplessly. In fact, he was just worried. He also knew the significance of today's premiere, so it was not something he could escape if he wanted to. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Even if Hugo can turn around and leave alone without taking away a cloud, what about Charlize? Where is Richard Linklater? What about the entire crew of "Before Sunrise"?

Hugo glanced at Charlize, "Don't you worry about Mr. Perfect being jealous?"

In fact, Stewart Townsend originally planned to attend the Sundance Film Festival with Charlize as Charlize's male companion. But the independent film audition that Stewart mentioned before has changed again, and he needs to rush to London, so he can only miss it. Originally, Stewart planned this to be his first official appearance with Charlize, to avoid reporters from bringing Charlize to discuss with Hugo again.

Charlize was generous and unpretentious at all. She glared at Hugo directly, "Don't you worry about Cameron being jealous? When it comes to this, women always have smaller hearts than men. "

Cameron naturally hopes to come to Park City with Hugo, but the filming of "Death Supper" hasn't finished yet, so she can't leave. Moreover, Cameron needs to appear at the Golden Globe Awards. Although she is also an artist under Rick, Rick’s plans for Cameron and Hugo are completely different, not to mention that the status of the two is also different now. . Hugo can refuse to attend the Golden Globes as he pleases, but Cameron, who is fledgling, can't, and Cameron, who has rarely appeared in front of the media after the "geek in disguise", needs the exposure of the Golden Globes.

In desperation, Cameron can only stay in Los Angeles.

Hugo also curled his lips calmly, "I think we should leave the appearance of attacking each other to the reporters. They will definitely want to see the appearance of the two of us fighting together."

Charlize sneered, "You are ashamed to fight a man and a woman." After speaking, he took the lead and walked ahead.

Hugo is not to be outdone after him~www.readwn.com~Hey, you are a man! "Before the words fell, Charlize raised his right fist and waved fiercely. Hugo immediately raised his hands in a surrender gesture, "What I said just now." "

The two walked towards the cinema, but at least 30 yards from the red carpet, the crowds gathered together began to commotion, the screams were already unbearable and began to release energy, the breath of the cold winter was just a little bit A little warming up.

But without waiting for the audience to take any action, the on-site staff began to get busy. Six security guards immediately stood by the road and divided them into two groups, three on the left and three on the right. They built a wall of people arm in arm, trying to block the crowd. Behind. Then there was a large number of staff from behind quickly stepping forward, constantly shouting to the crowd, "Keep calm and don't crowd; stay calm, don't crowd"...

This look like a big enemy makes people really endure the laughter. Originally, Hugo's footsteps were a bit hesitant, but when he saw this scene, his smile came to the corner of his mouth unconsciously. Even at the Cannes Film Festival, the Golden Globes or the Oscars, Hugo did not experience such treatment, and he actually experienced one at Sundance today. This is really...very weird.

At this time, Joseph and Samora both ran to the starting point of the red carpet, and then faced the surging crowd in front of them, unexpectedly began to take the lead and applaud. What is this doing again? Circus? .
