Movie Master

Ian looked at Lance who was sitting next to him with some surprise. He was wearing a simple and neat black suit, but matched it with a collarless white shirt. There was some casualness in the formality, and the calm and calm smile would not be too much. Publicity, without being too humble, just the right amount of self-confidence.

This kind of Lance is somewhat familiar, but more unfamiliar. He had never worked with Lance before, and Chaos Shadow Industry was the first formal cooperation between the brothers after they became adults. Only now did Ian realize that before he knew it, that thin and gloomy man seemed to disappear at any time Younger brother, now he has grown into a master of his own.

Lance smiled and made a look, Ian looked away, showing a decent but casual smile, looked at Robert who was walking towards him, and then stood up on his own initiative, "Mr. Redford, thank you I nodded and agreed to today's lunch, I hope my behavior of using power for personal gain will not affect my professional image."

"Hehe, please call me Robert in private. Even if it's just to thank you for your excellent work, I have to give you face today. What's more, as far as I know, today's lunch is free." The smile on Robert's face was relaxed and hearty, Just like the sunshine on the beach in Miami, it is refreshing.

Ian also chuckled, and held Robert's right hand, "It's not a difficult task." Then he turned his head and looked at Lance who was standing aside, "Please let me solemnly introduce you to the bill for today's lunch. Or, this is Lancelot Strelow." Then he said with a smile, "Lance, this is Robert Redford."

Lance, who had been standing by the side smiling and saying nothing before, shook hands with Robert, "I'll go to the bathroom to check the amount of the credit card later." A joke made Robert laugh heartily. In a cozy Dutch restaurant, a large orange windmill is spinning leisurely at the door. Robert's laughter is not abrupt, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Radford."

"Strello? So, you are brothers?" Robert still held Lance's right hand and did not let go. After receiving Lance's affirmative answer, he raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "Not long ago I Tell Ian that he should join Hollywood, he will be the dream girl of countless women; now, the same advice should be given to you, so tell me, there are no other good children in the Strelo family."

"I hope other Hollywood producers can hear these words, then my life will be much easier." Lance's slightly exaggerated expression combined with these words immediately made Robert laugh loudly again.

The three sat down respectively, the waiter brought the menu, Robert picked up the menu and began to read, but the words did not stop, "So, Lancelot, Ian said you have a project that I want to see Look, I'm here now."

Lance looked at Robert with some surprise. He didn't expect that Robert even omitted the polite steps of ordering food, and went straight to the point.

The Robert in front of him is no longer young, he is a little fatter, and his once handsome face has also begun to relax. The years of wind and frost have left wrinkles, but he can vaguely see the outline of the youth that fascinated Quanmei.

In the United States, blond hair has always been a special existence. The term "blond stunner" has gradually extended from women to men, from Brad Pitt in the Mesozoic to Chris Hemsworth in the new generation. Hemsworth), they also set off a wave of **** / **** men, and enduring.

However, it was Robert in front of him who really made people fantasize about the blond man. The birth of Robert made people realize that blonde hair is also a kind of sexiness on a man, and he won the title of "American Golden Boy". Later, Brad and Chris were considered to copy Robert's road to success, Brad was known as "Robert's successor" early in his career.

Now, Robert is no longer young, no longer looks. However, after more than 30 years in Hollywood, he has become more wise after experiencing countless ups and downs. At the same time, don't forget that Robert is also the founder of the Sundance Film Festival.

Lance did not hide his surprise, but showed the panic caused by the surprise, and then covered it up with a smile, "Sorry, I thought I could have a little buffer time, but..." Lance took a sip Shui, suppressed his shock, "The thing is like this, I filmed and produced a film, and I hope to get a chance to try it out, to see if I have a chance to be on the stage of the Sundance Film Festival."

Instead of facing Harvey, Lance employs a different strategy. Because Harvey is a businessman, what he needs to see is profit; but Robert is a filmmaker, what he needs to see is ideas, which is why he created the Sundance Film Festival. Therefore, Lance did not play any tricks, and even deliberately amplified his nervousness a little bit.

Sure enough, Robert nodded with a "should be so" expression, "But you should know that the Sundance selection period will end in three days, and we will not accept any form of registration at this time."

The film festival selects the films for competition and exhibition. The film festival’s own fixed review team will read all the entries and then select the works worthy of shortlisting to ensure the quality of the film festival’s works and the variety of themes. After the opening of the film festival, the professional jury that changes every year takes over and is responsible for selecting the final award-winning works.

Therefore, the film festival's own review team shoulders the heavy responsibility of the overall film festival's average level, while the professional jury shoulders the heavy responsibility of improving the artistic level and aesthetic height of the film festival.

It is precisely because of this that it is often necessary to sign up for film festivals half a year in advance, at least three months, to leave enough time for the film festival review team to review and finally hand over the shortlist. Therefore, although according to the rules, the registration deadline for the Sundance Film Festival is three days later, generally speaking, all registration work will be basically completed half a month before the registration deadline.

However, there are exceptions to everything. The reason why the registration period is so long is to prevent accidents. For example, some famous directors signed up for the competition early, but the finished product of the film editing was not satisfactory, so they had to go back and rework. As a result, the finished product may not be handed in until the last moment of the registration deadline.

Facing Robert's veto, Lance did not panic, but pointed to Ian beside him, "So I found a shortcut, hoping to impress you and at least get a chance to explain to you."

"You are wasting time and my credit now." Ian, who was silent after sitting down, uttered a sentence after being called out, but it just rightly resolved Robert's next words, for Lance Gain room to continue talking.

Naturally, Lance would not miss the opportunity, "Not long ago, when I was filming in Rio, I heard by chance that you are interested in adapting the novel 'Motor Diary'?" This is a lie, this is Lance's investigation process What I found was definitely a surprise.

"Rio?" Robert really caught this detail, "Why, are you also interested in the South American continent?"

"The Motorcycle Diaries" tells the story of the youth of Ernesto-Guevara, the most important figure at the heart of the Cuban Revolution and has become a universal symbol of counterculture around the world. One of the most influential figures of the century.

Lance chuckled and nodded, "It's a magical continent, isn't it? Almost every journey is an adventure. Before I started shooting this work, I was also very interested in 'Motorcycle Diaries', However, the Guevara family is not willing to easily compromise the copyright of the adaptation of the original work, and what I have is only a newly established production company, which is obviously not convincing enough."

This made Robert chuckle lightly, obviously empathizing with him, "So, what kind of South American work did you shoot?"

"I don't know if you ever came close to a slum called the City of God when you visited Rio?" The strings in Lance's heart still haven't relaxed. The seemingly understated conversation just now was carefully designed by him. Finally got into the theme smoothly, the next thing is to see if Lance can impress Robert. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Robert shook his head, a little dazed, obviously not understanding.

Lance didn't mean to show off, but he restrained his smile and said seriously, "I have been to Queens in New York, and I have also been to the most chaotic area in Detroit. I always think that is what I think Even the poverty of the African continent is nothing more than that. But after arriving in the city of God, I found how stupid I was." This self-mockery made Robert chuckle, and the waiter He walked over and asked if he wanted to order food. Instead, Robert raised his hand to stop the other party and signaled Lance to continue.

"I found that the real slums are not necessarily how difficult the life is, or how chaotic the law and order are. The disasters caused by hunger, lack of water, and diseases are just a manifestation of the slums. There are countless slums in the world. , Every place has its own disasters. Perhaps Africa, which is in the midst of war and turmoil, will be even more terrifying. In this comparison, the slums in the United States seem to be nothing at all. But in fact, the real plight of the slums is that you can’t get out A besieged city, a besieged city that can never come out after entering."

Robert looked into Lance's eyes, and his mood began to waver in that slightly undulating tone unconsciously. When Lance stopped, he couldn't help but frowned slightly, as if he couldn't wait. Lance's calm words vibrated slightly in the air, but they contained endless stories, as if there was a heavy weight behind every word.

Robert had to admit that Lance had managed to grab his attention.
