Chapter 70: Debut

Jessica raised her head and looked at the clock on the wall again, it was eight fifty-seven. God, only thirty seconds have passed! But she felt that a whole century had passed! Jessica picked up the water glass on the dressing table and drank a big sip of water, trying to calm herself down, but she was still so irritable that she couldn't even sit still.

How did things get to this point?

She is wearing a formal evening dress now, and she is sitting in front of the dressing table, waiting anxiously for the knock on the door, everything else has stopped, she can't even listen to the music, she can only keep looking at the wall clock, paying attention to the second hand. Moments of movement. It made her look not only pathetic, but also ridiculous, but the problem was that the anticipation inside her didn't abate in the slightest.

However, she and him only met three times, and the dialogue did not exceed ten sentences, didn't they?

"Bang bang bang", a rhythmic knock on the door came, interrupting Jessica's thoughts. All the muscles in her body tensed up in an instant, and she subconsciously turned her head to look at the wall clock. At 8:59, the second hand is still running fast. The second hand, which had been slowed down dozens of times or hundreds of times, was now running wildly as if it had lost its mind.

"Here we come!" Jessica yelled, stood up straight away, and ran straight towards the door, but only took a few steps, stopped again, turned around and ran back quickly, and ended up standing blankly at the original place. He looked left and right, turned around and walked to the door again.

Looking at the doorknob, she froze for a while, her mind was completely blank without any thoughts, and then she opened the door.

Standing at the door, Lance was wearing a black suit. The jet-black fabric reflected a faint halo under the bad light in the corridor. The wide shoulders and narrow waist were tightly and softly outlined by the fabric, without any The unique design makes the suit look ordinary, but the close-fitting tailoring that is too wide and too tight reveals a bit of British retro temperament.

It is matched with an ivory white casual shirt, without any fancy design, just the most basic white shirt with a stand-up collar, without a tie or bow tie, just buttoned up neatly, but such a simple treatment is faintly Jojo reveals a touch of restraint and elegance of restraint.

The lack of bow tie and tie embellishment made the whole outfit look less formal, and the anchor-shaped cufflinks on the cuffs became the only embellishment on the whole body, adding a touch of youthful publicity and vigor.

Just a glance, but it eclipses all the light.

"Dear Ms. Alba, may I have the honor to invite you to attend today's premiere?" Gentleman Lance asked politely, the moving British pronunciation made people travel back to the Victorian era in a trance .

Jessica watched Lance slowly raise his eyes, a touch of amazement gradually bloomed between his brows, a breeze rose in his blue ocean-like eyes, and a little halo of praise and joy appeared, Like the golden sunshine falling on the beach in the early morning of midsummer. The clear and wide eyes looked at her skirt politely, and finally landed on her cheek, and the smile buried deep in it rippled and circled, not only a touch of surprise, but also a touch of humor.

This made Jessica's cheeks turn crimson in an instant. For the first time, she knew that words are the palest thing. Even though Lance didn't say anything to praise her, the eyes at this moment are worth a thousand words , she just felt the deer bumping in her chest, and her brain couldn't think at all, so she could only answer subconsciously, "Of course. It's my pleasure." All expectations are useless at this moment, and she can only passively follow Lance's rhythm moves forward, as if he is galloping recklessly in the tender green spring/wind. The lazy sunshine has magical power, and people can't help but close their eyes and indulge in it.

Lance took a small half step forward, turned sideways, raised his left arm, and extended an invitation. Jessica took Lance's arm ignorantly, and then the two of them walked away like this. The sound of the trivial footsteps disappeared into the hotel carpet, leaving only silence, and the surrounding poor corridor lights bloomed. Circles of halo, wonderful.

When people mention the premiere, they often think of the grand premiere ceremony of "Harry Potter" or "Lord of the Rings". Cheers to them, looking forward to the movie's debut.

In fact, this kind of premiere has broken away from the category of "premiere", and pays more attention to the role of "ceremony". This is part of the publicity method. The film company not only hopes to attract the attention of more audiences through such a ceremony, but also uses it to create more news, hoping that the film will achieve a better box office after it is released.

Naturally, such premieres cost a lot of publicity, with "Transformers 3" costing more than a million dollars for just one premiere. Not every movie can afford such a cost, let alone independent movies.

For independent films, there are two premieres.

The first is the spot screening of art theaters, inviting a small number of media to participate. The advantage of this method is that most of the art theaters are professional and high-end audiences, and they can often give a more objective evaluation of the film. Spread word of mouth for the subsequent expansion of the film, but the disadvantage is that the scope of influence is too limited and the speed of word of mouth spread is too slow.

The other is the choice of most independent films - film festivals. When the premiere is held at a film festival, the attention of the media will undoubtedly rise several steps. The recognition of the film festival judges can even gild the film, and it can quickly become a hot topic of discussion among the audience. But the disadvantages are also very obvious. The threshold for film festivals is obviously very difficult, and the fierce competition can easily make films buried and forgotten. At the same time, the cost of participating in the three major film festivals in Europe is even more expensive. In addition to the registration fee, Carriage fees are also a heavy burden.

This is also an important reason why the Sundance Film Festival is so popular. First, it is in the United States. Second, the weakening of the commercial atmosphere ensures that this is a carnival feast for independent films. Third, the premiere can often attract more attention from the American media. .

Of course, the premiere of the Sundance Film Festival is naturally not "magnificent".

After Lance and Jessica left the hotel, they walked to the theater where the premiere was held. Fortunately, the blizzard had stopped and the clear weather made walking much easier. The snow plow had cleaned the main street early, but even so, there was still a small creaking sound when the feet stepped on the ground.

The soles of Jessica's feet slipped a little, and she subconsciously stretched out her hand to try to grab a support, and then felt a force grab her and stabilize her. Looking up, Jessica saw the thin lips pursed into a shallow arc. This bit of panic also broke Jessica's restraint, so she couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Walk to participate The red carpet, that sounds fantastic."

Jessica found that Lance did not smile, but looked at her intently. The hot and focused gaze made her cheeks slightly hot, as if it would melt into those eyes in a second. This made Jessica hold back her smile in embarrassment, "What's wrong?"

Lance withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and chuckled, "I was just thinking, maybe this is one of the charms of Sundance." The gentleness under the lowered eyebrows was so thrilling that Jessica couldn't help being a little dazed. "Of course, and this." Lance's voice came again, waking Jessica up. She hurriedly looked up, and her confused thoughts were quickly attracted by the grand occasion in front of her.

At the gate of the movie theater where the premiere was held, the whole street was bustling with people. There were at least two or three hundred people coming and going. Everyone gathered in twos and threes, happily discussing the movie that was released a few days ago. They are scrambling to express their opinions; occasionally, some journalists with cameras on their backs can be seen cruising around the stairs, but the expressions on their faces are very relaxed, while sorting out their camera equipment, they are joking with their colleagues Jokingly, the breezy atmosphere didn't look like a film festival, but a resort.

A red carpet extends upwards from the stairs on the side of the street, and the thick snow on both sides completely ignites that passage~www.wuxiax.com~ The bright blood-like hues are dense and foggy in the bitter air, and the turbulent crowd is piled up The rising hot air slammed left and right around the passage, as if an active volcano had just erupted, and the magma slowly slid down the mountain range, which was spectacular and vast, jaw-dropping.

Only at this moment, the atmosphere of the film festival rushed over. However, Sundance is obviously different from other film festivals. No one is a star here, everyone is a pure movie lover. Therefore, even the main creators of participating films have no privileges. They gathered together and eagerly shared their views on the film. The plain, ordinary but lively atmosphere is the only one in the world.

Lance took Jessica's arm and signaled to go up the stairs from the side. The members of the "City of God" crew had already gathered there, just waiting for the organizer's order, and then they could walk on the red carpet.

Alexander-Rodriguez was the first to see Lance, but he didn't say anything, just stood there, looking at Lance with admiration, and couldn't take his eyes off; Percy then noticed Lance, and he showed A smile, "Just waiting for you, the red carpet can start anytime."

Lance let out a breath and said easily, "Then what are you waiting for? Let the red carpet begin." He had waited too long for this day.

Then, Percy stretched out his head and gestured to the front, and then, the host's mellow voice came from the stereo at the entrance of the cinema, "Dear movie lovers, let us invite the 'City of God' The main creative team~www.wuxiax.com~Welcome readers to visit and read.
