Chapter 1686

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome the moderator of today's Forum: Langley hall!"

The audience stood up and applauded, and with the official appearance of lanli, the applause grew bigger and bigger, and gradually rose to a new height. Finally, it evolved into a thunderous roar, which shook the whole venue, and the roof above and the floor under the feet began to shake at the same time, The turbulent and hot air roared on the surface of the skin like ten thousand horses.

mountains and seas are whistling. The real Tsunami! The thunder surged on the eardrum, rippled and trembled one by one, jumping from the sole of the foot to the top of the head. At this moment, the heart can not help breeding an impulse to worship, all the focus of attention fell on Lan Li, staring at the handsome tall young actor.

This is different.

Unlike Madison Square Garden, the award ceremony red carpet, and the crowd of fans, the applause was so pure and focused, more enthusiastic than the west end, more devoted than Broadway, simpler than the film festival, more frenzied than the award ceremony, showing their respect and worship wholeheartedly.

Lan Li stood on the stage and quietly watched the madness in front of him. Under his calm expression, he was surging with emotion. His eyes were slightly condensed, and his heart was surging and unspeakable. Even though he had experienced numerous storms, he could still feel the surprise and admiration in his chest.

The applause lasted a full three minutes, which slowly subsided.

Lan Li raised the microphone in his hand and sighed, "wow." The smile on the corner of his mouth rose. "Just at the door, Ethan told me that there might be a surprise today. I think his definition of surprise may be wrong. It's more than surprise. Now it has reached the level of fright."

There was a roar of laughter.

Now Langley finally understood what Ethan and Joel meant.

The official time of today's forum is 3 p.m., but from 8 a.m., there has been a long line in front of the venue, winding around the whole venue like a dragon, which has opened the first climax of the 30th Sundance Film Festival.

There is no ticket system for the forum, which is free of charge. According to the order of queuing, the forum is arranged to enter.

Considering the popularity of Langley, Sundance has officially arranged the largest venue, which can accommodate 800 people. This is already the highest standard of premiere treatment. Other symposiums generally have a venue space of about 300 people, even for Catherine kina, the leading producer and actor in the film industry, The venue is still crowded.

The crowd that lanli just met at the door were all spectators who could not enter the infield. All the 800 seats were packed to the brim, and more than 600 spectators were absent from the forum. They were reluctant to stay in the same place waiting for the arrival of lanli, just for a glimpse of lanli.

Even Robert Redford and the Cohen brothers have to sigh for their scale, treatment and popularity.

This is the Sundance Film Festival. It's not a starry 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 aura" doesn't work very well. Good is good, bad is bad. Likes and dislikes are very clear, Because that's the nature of most independent films - it's not hard to win praise in Sundance, but it's very, very difficult to gain popularity in Sundance.

Now, it's incredible that the aura of Langley shines all over Park City.

However, the symposium has not yet officially started, and the Robert and Cohen brothers have no way to make a judgment in advance: is all this because of the bright star of Langley? Or is it because of lanli's professionalism?

Along with that, other actors and producers were also curious. Robert and the Cohen brothers personally appeared at the forum to witness the whole process.

Lan Li, standing on the stage, took a long time to react. From the outside to the inside, the noise of the two worlds overlapped in this way, which made people feel flattered. At the same time, he felt the heavy pressure on his shoulders.

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

Idol aura is originally a positive word, but it has gradually derived a negative meaning in the fast food culture of the Internet age. "Appearance above doctrine" is just like money worship, which destroys all the power of idols' role models, leaving only the simple and crude theory of "beauty is righteousness". This also makes public figures and performing stars gradually become cultural destroyers, Especially in Asian culture.

Of course, this trend is inevitable in European and American cultures.

However, there are differences between Europe and the United States. American culture is based on the belief of "interests first" led by Hollywood and Wall Street, which makes the power of role models gradually eroded by the interest competition of entertainment to death. However, the artistic environment and historical heritage of the east coast still remain a spark; On the other hand, the environment of cultural inheritance and artistic edification is still preserved on the European continent. The weakness and weakening of commercial interests ensure the prosperity and prosperity of artistic creation in a sense, and the power of example is followed.

In short, in the Asian entertainment system, there are traffic stars, but there is nothing worth learning and inheriting behind the bright face; However, in the entertainment system of Europe and the United States, the pursuit of art is still retained, which also enables teenagers and other amateurs to inherit more cultural heritage, and then affects the cultural atmosphere of the whole society.

In the past, he only knew a little about this editorial. He could understand the profound meaning of thought, but he could not really understand the meaning of "the power of idols and role models"; Today, he fully understood the hidden meaning——

His words and deeds, his artistic understanding, his creative choice, his works content... All of them are quietly influencing the audience. The lingering charm and reflection left by each work after watching the film will play a role, so that the audience can have more thinking about life, themselves, society and the future, and then light the torch like a spark, Change your life through art.

The so-called public figures, bathed in the starlight and surrounded by applause, should not just be so.

How many people fall in love with movies because of Akira Kurosawa and Stanley Kubrick, how many people understand painting because of Van Gogh and Monet, and how many people devote themselves to creation because of Marquez and Kafka... The power of role models of idols is not only "face value" and "interests", but also a power deep in the core of social structure, which may change society, It can also change lives.

From Heather cross to Don Quixote, from les miserables to drunken ballads, from Sundance Film Festival to folk music festival, Langley stepped on this road step by step. From the initial ignorance to the present clarity, he finally felt the weight of this responsibility.

Involuntarily, Lan Li straightened his back, just as he took on more responsibilities; On the surface, however, Lan Li continued his usual calm and ease, and the deep-rooted noble education always reflected its profound foundation at the critical moment.

"Is there any misunderstanding in today's forum? Joel and Ethan told me that it's just an occasion to discuss film works, not a lecture or an interview, but why is the whole room full of live cameras? Alan? Alan! Is Alan going to show up singing and dancing in a little while

Allen, of course, means Alan dejanis of the "Allen Show.". Lan Li's half banter and half serious banter made the whole audience burst into laughter.

"I mean it. Who can tell me what's going on with these live cameras? When I signed the contract, why didn't anyone tell me that? " Blue Li visited around, trying to find the figure of the Cohen brothers, full of question marks need to get an explanation.

The staff on the scene seemed to be aware of lanli's "seriousness". Someone trotted right in front of the stage and explained in a low voice: This is live tubing.

Robert Redford hopes to further expand the influence of independent films. All the guests' forums will be broadcast live and online in the pipeline. He hopes that the younger generation can participate in the banquet of independent films without leaving home and sow the seeds of independent art among them.

It can be seen from the small details that Sundance is still a little clumsy - the staff rushes over, and his figure directly appears in the camera range, which is shown through the live video. It's not only amateur, but also chaotic, which is obviously not the best way for Sundance to operate.

Even Lan Li himself could not laugh or cry.

However, lanli calmly controlled the situation and easily resolved the situation with a "my God" exclamation, "I thought it was just an exchange meeting of 200 people, but now you tell me, is the tubing live? Two hundred people suddenly turned into two million, even 20 million. Oh, I'm sorry now. Last night I was watching "ice and snow" instead of preparing a speech. Now I can foresee today's disaster. "

"Ice and snow"? Princess Elsa? The audience couldn't help laughing again.

"Ethan, didn't you say you didn't have to prepare a speech? There seems to be something wrong Lan Li shouts to the audience. Ethan can't help but help his forehead and his smile blooms.
