Chapter 054

As the subtitles fall and the lights light up again, many people in the screening hall feel like waking up from a dream.

After a short silence, the applause rang out in the screening hall. Because of the small number of people, the applause was not warm, but it was even.

Due to budget constraints and other factors, those who joined the cast at the beginning were basically behind the scenes people who had been mixing in the low-cost independent film circle all the year round.

As a film practitioner, naturally, he is very interested in his own films. However, in the past, those who participated in the film, have seen a few, also gradually did not have any expectations.

Despite the support of Bryan De Palma, most of the crew didn't think Simon could make a great movie. The reason why many people came to participate in the audition this time is that several celebrities will also attend.

Unexpectedly, the result is far beyond expectation.

At the same cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars, compared with the B-class films they used to participate in, which can only rely on selling meat and gimmicks, "Lola Run" is definitely a gap between heaven and earth, although it is not a mainstream commercial film.

Even, many people can't help thinking that this is a movie.

In the front row of the screening hall, although Simon's talent in film has been amazing for more than one time, and he has seen the sample film "Lola Run" for more than one time before, David giller is surprised again when he recalls the top score in the film.

Director, screenwriter, photography, lighting, editing

Now it's the soundtrack again.

David giller's heart is only curious. What's wrong with the boy sitting near him.

By David giller's side, Brian De Palma was also feeling.

There are too many steps in the whole process of a film from an idea to a finished film. Any deviation in any of these steps may lead to a great difference between the final result of the film and the creator's idea.

Many audiences always criticize some rotten films for their rigid plot and lack of logic.

However, these bad films will definitely have a perfect idea or script at the beginning, otherwise, any film company will not easily invest tens of millions of dollars.

Perfect script but get incomplete rotten film, which involves the completion of a film.

The completion of a movie not only includes whether a movie fully shows the story content that the script wants to express, but also includes the quality of special effects, editing, soundtrack and other aspects of the movie.

After watching the final film, compared with the script he saw in his memory, Brian De Palma realized that "Lola Run" is definitely a highly completed film.

If "Lola Run" is a commercial film, Brian De Palma is sure that the film will definitely make a very good box office.

However, although it is not a commercial film and the theme deviates from the mainstream, as long as you have seen the film, even if you are not interested in the whole story, most of the audience will certainly give a very positive evaluation.

That's the advantage of Lola Run.

In the projection hall.

After watching the film, people are thinking.

However, if we say that the one who has been deeply shocked is definitely Peter Sanders, vice president of fox.

A few months ago, Peter Sanders didn't take it seriously when he overheard the amazing effect of Simon's sample film.

Even if he has a higher talent in photography, he is just a little boy who has just entered Hollywood. Peter Sanders doesn't think Simon is a young man who can make movies that he can barely watch.

It's said that this guy also takes into account a lot of editing and music.

This is even more unreliable.

What a mess.

It's just a pity that the investment is said to be $650000.

He, the vice president of fox, can barely get this figure only when his years are better and his salary and bonus are a lot.

Having been in the circle for decades, Peter Sanders deeply understands that talent is important, but the most important thing is experience. Without ten or eight years of hard work in several films, it is impossible to make films that sell people's recognition.

Then, just 80 minutes, completely subverted his cognition.

At the beginning of the disapproval, this time also turned into a deep shock.

Although the ability is not excellent, but can achieve the present position, Peter Sanders absolutely does not lack the judgment of a film.

Like Brian De Palma, Peter Sanders also realized that "Lola Run" is definitely a very complete movie.

Even if the audience of such a film is limited, as long as it operates properly, it is absolutely easy to achieve commercial success.

Human nature is the pursuit of perfection.

A film with high degree of completion is like a piece of jade carefully carved by a sculptor. Compared with those rough and shoddy products, even if consumers don't like the variety of jade, they obviously prefer the more delicate one.Thinking about it in his heart, he saw all the people get up and talk with Simon westero warmly. Peter Sanders also came forward with an absent-minded expression and said, "Simon, I have something else to go back to the office. Well, at half past four, you can come and have a chat with us."

Simon heard Peter Sanders, nodded with a smile, and politely took him out of the studio.

Then, everyone chatted warmly for a while, and all the cast members who participated in the audition left one after another.

Sandra Bullock and Keanu reevist, the leading characters, apologized to Simon that they had a new engagement and could not go to Sundance with him in the next few days.

Simon naturally understood that, not to mention the Oscars, even those traditional old film festivals are far from being comparable to the current Sundance. What's more, the Sundance Film Festival has no performance awards, and the leading actors of the participating films have little incentive to go to park city.

One after another, David giller and Brian De Palma unexpectedly stayed at the end.

Seeing that there were only two women left by Simon's side, David giller said to Simon, "Sanders was just holding a pose. You must feel that he is such a person. So, don't agree to his terms immediately. If you can, it's better to wait until after Sundance. In fact, Simon, I think you should take "Lola Run" to some more influential film festivals, Cannes, Berlin and Venice, which are much better than Sundance. With the quality of your film, they will certainly accept it. "

"I understand, David," Simon nodded and said, "actually, I've thought about going to Cannes Film Festival and so on. However, the film has just been completed recently, the latest Berlin Film Festival has long missed the registration, and the other two are too far away. What's more, I'd like "Lola Run" to focus on the U.S. domestic market

David giller nodded to show his understanding. In fact, he also knew that Simon's reasons for giving up attending overseas film festivals were more than that. Capital is also a very important factor.

Moreover, even if we rush to participate, it is certainly no problem to attract attention with the quality of "Lola Run", but because of the theme, the chance of winning the prize is very slim, and the possibility of returning empty handed is even greater.

After another chat, David giller and Brian De Palma left.

Simon took back the copy of "Lola Run" and left the screening hall with two women.
