"Gentlemen and ladies, let us applaud the host of today's symposium: Lanly-Hall!"

The audience collectively stood up and applauded. With the official appearance of Lan Li, the applause grew louder and rose to a new height step by step, and finally evolved into a thunderous roar, shaking the entire venue violently. The roof and the ground on the soles of his feet began to vibrate at the same time, and the turbulent and hot air roared past the surface of the skin like a galloping horse.

The mountain whispered a tsunami. The real mountains call the tsunami! The thunder of the audience hit the eardrums with waves of ripples, and the tremors jumped from the soles of the feet to the top of the head one by one. At this moment, there was an impulse to worship deep down in my heart, and all the focus of eyes fell on Lan Li's body, staring intently at the handsome and tall young actor in front of him.

This is different.

Different from Madison Square Garden, different from the award ceremony red carpet, and different from the crowded fans on the street, the applause of the audience is so pure and so focused, more enthusiastic than the West End, more dedicated than Broadway, and simpler than the film festival. More fanatical than the award ceremony, showing their respect and admiration wholeheartedly.

Lan Li stood on the stage, watching the madness in front of him quietly, his calm expression was surging with surging emotions, his eyes condensed slightly, his heart was surging and unspeakable, even though he had experienced countless winds and waves, he still could Feeling the surprise and admiration gurgling in the chest, moved, spontaneously.

The applause lasted for three full minutes before slowly calming down.

Lan Li raised the microphone in his hand and let out a sigh, "Wow." The smile at the corner of his mouth couldn't help but rose, "Just at the door, Ethan told me that there may be a surprise today. I think, his definition of a surprise There may be some mistakes. This is more than a surprise. It has now reached the level of shock."

There was a roar of laughter from the audience.

Now Lan Li finally understood what Ethan and Joel meant.

Today’s symposium is officially held at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, but since 8 o’clock in the morning, a long line has been lined up at the entrance of the venue, winding vigorously around the entire venue, like a dragon, with great momentum. The first climax/trend of the 30th Sundance Film Festival kicked off.

There is no ticket system for the symposium and it is completely free. Admission will be arranged according to the order of the queue.

Taking into account the high popularity of Lanli, Sundance officially arranged the largest venue, which can accommodate 800 people. This is already the highest standard of premiere treatment-other symposiums generally have about 300 people Even if it is a leading producer and actor in the independent film industry like Catherine Keener, the venue space is no exception, but even so, the venue is still crowded.

The crowd that Lan Li met at the door just now were all spectators who had not been able to enter the infield. The 800 seats in the audience were all packed, and there were more than 600 spectators left in the outfield who missed the symposium, reluctantly staying in place, waiting for Lan Li's arrival, just to get a glimpse of Lan Li's demeanor.

With such a scale, such a treatment, and such a pursuit, even Robert Redford and the Cohen brothers had to sigh.

This is the Sundance Film Festival. It is not a star-studded occasion like Toronto or Cannes, or even a high-profile stage like Berlin or Venice. In the field of independent film, the so-called "star halo" is actually not very useful, good is good , Not good is not good, likes and hates are very clear, because most of the attributes of independent movies are originally like this-it is not difficult to win popularity or praise in Sundance, but you want to gain popularity in Sundance It is very, very difficult.

Now, the halo of Lanly shines through the entire Park City, which is really incredible.

However, the symposium has not officially started, and the brothers Robert and Cohen have no way to make a judgment in advance: Is it all because of the dazzling stars of Lan Li? Or is it because of Lanli's professionalism?

Even with that, other actors and producers also became curious. Robert and the Cohen brothers even appeared at the forum in person to witness the whole process.

Standing on the stage, Lan Li took a long time and finally reacted. From the door to the door, the noise and noise of the two worlds overlapped in this way, which made people flatter, and at the same time felt the heaviness on his shoulders. pressure.

In his previous life, he once read an editorial that analyzed the power of idols in Asian culture and European and American cultures.

Idol halo was originally a positive term, but it gradually derives a negative meaning in the fast food culture of the Internet age. "Appearance superiorism" is like money worship, destroying all the role model power of idols, leaving only simple The rude theory of "face value is justice" has also made public figures and performing arts stars gradually become cultural destroyers, especially in Asian culture.

Of course, European and American cultures inevitably have such a trend.

However, there are differences between Europe and the United States. American culture is based on the creed of "interest first" led by Hollywood and Wall Street. This also makes the power of role models gradually eroded by entertainment to death, but the art environment of the East Coast The historical heritage still retains the sparks of fire; while the environment of cultural heritage and artistic edification is still retained on the European continent, the weakness and weakening of commercial interests, in a sense, guarantees the prosperity and prosperity of artistic creation, and the power of example It followed it down.

To put it simply, in the Asian entertainment system, it is full of traffic stars, and there is nothing worth learning and inheriting behind the glamorous face; but in the entertainment systems of Europe and the United States, it still retains In addition to the inner pursuit of art, this also enables young people and other amateurs to always inherit more cultural heritage, which in turn affects the cultural atmosphere of the entire society.

In the past, he could only say that he had a little understanding of this editorial. He could understand the profound meaning of thought, but he could not really understand the meaning of "idol role model power"; today, he fully understands the hidden meaning of it——

His words and deeds, his artistic understanding, his creative choices, the content of his works...all of them are quietly affecting the audience, and the aftermath and reflections left after the end of each work will be changed. Play a role so that the audience can think more about life, themselves, society, and the future, and then light the torch like a spark, and change their lives through art.

The so-called public figures, bathed in starlight and surrounded by applause, shouldn't just be the case.

How many people fell in love with movies because of Akira Kurosawa and Stanley Kubrick, how many people understood painting because of Van Gogh and Monet, and how many people devoted themselves to creation because of Marquez and Kafka... …The role model power of idols is far more than just “face value” and “interests”, but a driving force hidden in the core of the social structure, which may change society or life.

From Heather Cross to "Don Quixote", from "Les Miserables" to "Drunk Country Folk Songs", from the Sundance Film Festival to the folk music festival that is just talking about it, Lan Li has embarked one step at a time. This path, from the initial ignorance of the unknown to the present clear and clear, he finally felt the weight of this responsibility.

Involuntarily, Lan Li straightened his waist as if he had taken on more responsibilities; but on the surface, Lan Li still continued his usual calmness and freedom. The deep roots of aristocratic education are always reflected at critical moments. Come out with a deep foundation.

"Is there any misunderstanding in today's symposium? Joel and Ethan told me that this is just an occasion for discussing film work, not lectures, or interviews, but why are all live cameras? Allen Alan! Will he show up singing and dancing in a while?"

Allen, of course, refers to Allen De Janis of the "Allen Show". Lan Li's half-joking and half-serious ridicule made the audience burst into laughter.

"I'm serious. Who can tell me what is going on with these live cameras? Why didn't anyone tell me when I signed the contract?" Lan Li visited around and tried to find the Coen brothers. , Full of question marks need an explanation.

The on-site staff seemed to be aware of Lan Li's "seriousness". Someone rushed all the way from the front of the stage and explained in a low voice: This is a live broadcast of the tubing.

Robert Redford hopes to further expand the influence of independent films. All the guest forums held this time will be broadcast live on YouTube and online. I hope that the younger generation can participate in this independent film feast without leaving home. In ~www.novelhall.com~ and sow the seeds of independent art among them.

It can be seen from the small details that Sundance is still a bit clumsy-the staff rushed over, his figure appeared directly in the camera lens range, and it was presented through the live broadcast. It is not only amateur, but also chaotic. , This is obviously not the way Sundance works best.

Even Lan Li himself was a little dumbfounded.

However, Lan Li took control of the situation indifferently, and sighed with a "my god", and easily resolved the situation, "I originally thought it was just a meeting with two hundred people, but now you tell me that the oil pipe is live? Suddenly, two hundred people became two million, or even twenty million. Phew, I regret it now. I was watching "Frozen" last night instead of preparing a speech. I can now foresee today’s disaster. The situation is over."

"Frozen"? Princess Elsa? The audience couldn't help but chuckle again.

"Ethan, didn't you say that you don't need to prepare a speech? It seems something is not quite right." Lan Li shouted towards the auditorium. Ethan sitting down the field couldn't help holding his forehead, and the smile on his face bloomed greatly. Open.
