Park City, Utah.

It's Saturday, January 23.

The 15th Sundance Film Festival opened on January 21st, and today it is the third day and the most lively weekend.

In addition to tourists from all over the world who once again crowded small towns, many Hollywood stars will also come here specially this weekend, because the weekend is not only the premiere of many important films, but also various party activities, such as another Westeros party tonight.

In a cinema in the north of the small town.

As noon approaches, a video premiered at 10 o'clock in the morning ends, and subsequent interactive sessions are underway in the screening hall.

The just-screened was a pseudo-documentary film called "Alien Archives".

The story tells the story of a group of young people exploring in the mountains of Colorado mistakenly entering an abandoned confidential alien institute and accidentally discovering the government's past when using alien genes to secretly study biological weapons, and why the institute was abandoned and sealed.

After the successive sales of "The Ghost Record" from the fall of last year and "The Witch Blair" from the beginning of last year, the pseudo-documentary films have undoubtedly become the most popular movie genre at the Sundance Film Festival in 1999.

Although this time, there was only one dramatic pseudo-documentary film shortlisted in the main competition unit of Sundance, he rushed to Sundance to organize hundreds of pseudo-documentary projects for screenings or promotions, including similar themes such as Long Howard, who serve as producers.

The "Alien Archives" premiered this time is one of the most outstanding ones. It is a regular third-tier film company in New York, with a budget cost of 7 million US dollars, far exceeding those rough films with only tens of thousands or even thousands of dollars that can only be screened in tent screening halls outside the suburbs of small towns.

This time when I came to Park City, the production company also invested a lot and rented a theater in the Lower City area to hold its premiere on the most popular Saturday. Even if it wasn't an Egyptian theater, it would be impossible to get this good theater with more than 200 seats.

The confidence of the production company comes from the praise accumulated by watching movies in the circle several times in advance. Before Sundance opened, its reputation had actually spread. After rejecting contact with many publishers, this premiere is also a further wait for a price.

In fact, this is what the movie circle is.

Although all kinds of dark horses can always emerge, on the other hand, it is difficult to have extremely outstanding filmmakers, scripts or films buried. However, there are too many variables in a movie from having an idea to finally entering the theater, which creates an unexpected dark horse that is not optimistic at the beginning but has a big box office success, or a group of people start to rob the movie and has a bad box office defeat after being released.

The current "Alien Archives" has become a film, and is one of the fewest variables when entering the theater, which has attracted more distributors.

Lina Kane and Annika Settle sat in the back seat of the screening room. Listening to the interaction between the main creators in the front row with the media and the audience, the two women were quietly counting their heads and biting their ears: "Warner, MGM, Paramount, Fox... tsk, Disney's Bill Michanik came in person. It seems that Vivendy put a lot of pressure on his performance. Also, that's Frank Giustra of the Lions Gate, well, Jeff Lipsky in October, he just joined in the fun like us. In contrast, Daenerys only has one new line vice president of the film purchasing department. Isn't Robert Shay in Park City? Moreover, I think it's more reliable to come forward this time, and the new line is not easy to trust."

Lena listened to Annika's mouth in her ear and whispered: "Danelles should have given up."

"It would be a pity if this is the case," Annika said. "Judged from the movie I just watched, if it works properly, I think this is likely to be another movie that has exceeded 100 million."

"The problem is that, judging from the recent news that Warner Bros. wanted to buy out this project for $35 million, 35 million is the threshold for this project. The news must be that Rod Shagilt of Hibiscus's own release, on the one hand, directly exclude those small publishers, and on the other hand, it is to make the six major competitions."

Rod Shagirt, the owner of Hibiscus Flower Film Company and the producer of "Alien Archives", was sitting on the stage at this time.

Annika couldn't help but shake her head, feeling a little regretful that her small workshop would definitely not have any chance: "In this way, if you want to get this project, you will definitely not be able to buy out. You can only share the conditions and schedules to promote the distribution, and then ensure a bottom line of 35 million. Well, with his personality, he will indeed voluntarily withdraw."

Lina bent her lips: "I'm actually thinking that Shajilt is a little greedy. Since he is in this circle, don't he know that even if he gives high-scoring conditions, there will be too many means to pay the debt in the future. Even if he drags it, he can still break it up."

"I will definitely ask for a guarantee and various restrictions..." Annika said, and she quickly rejected it, smiling: "Indeed, for Hollywood, the contract is for violation. Well, Simon was sober back then, and "Rolla Run" was sold well in the local area, but she still sold the subsequent copyright of the movie at a very disadvantage, so she obtained enough capital until now. If Shagilter directly took away 35 million, it would be a good amount of capital. Not many of the third and fourth-tier production companies in Hollywood can have such a large amount of money. Apart from the expenses of "Alien Archives", it is enough to invest in a few more films and enter a healthy development state."

Lina summed up with some ridicule: "People are always greedy."

"The key is to have corresponding abilities," Annika didn't agree: "Like..."

"I understand, just like Simon." Lina quickly took the conversation and glanced at her side with a teasing voice: "It's just one night. Do you think he's going crazy?"

Annika twisted her body slightly without shyness: "No, I just can't help but drool when I think about it."

Lina smiled and despised: "You let the ** person go."

They chatted in a low voice, and the interaction was over soon. The two women stood up and were about to walk out with the abortion. Another group of men and women came over, with a total of five people. One of them invited him and said, "Lina, Anne, how about having lunch together?"

They all know each other.

The opposite is also a small circle, Jon Favreau, Sam Rockwell, Vince Vaughan, Katie Holmes and Sarah Polly, and Lena also know that if we look at the ranking of this small circle, the leader should be Doug Liman, the new director who has been promoted to the front line with Jet Lee's "Hurricane Rescue".

The one who spoke was Jon Favreau.

Because they both cooperated with Daenerys to a greater or lesser extent, Lina and the other party did not deliberately alienate, but because they made arrangements in advance at noon, they refused each other's lunch invitation.

It is inevitable that I will chat with some other acquaintances and leave the theater.

It is snowing in Park City.

It was not big, but it was also swaying. Most of the other audiences who left the theater could only walk in the snow. After all, the small town was not big, but the two women sat on a silver Mercedes-Benz off-road car waiting on the side of the road, leaving the center of the small town and heading towards the south of the city.

I did not go to the mountaintop villa in Chengnan where I was preparing for an evening party, but a good-quality restaurant at the foot of the mountain. It has been newly opened in recent years and is also gaining the popularity of a villa on the mountaintop.

Speaking of which, because of the villa on the top of the mountain, the southern part of Parker City has become more and more prosperous in recent years. Many Hollywood celebrities and even some wealthy celebrities outside the circle have come here to buy property, hoping to be neighbors with Simon Westeros, and the surrounding business environment has also developed rapidly.

After getting off the car, I entered the second floor of the restaurant where I had a set location. This time, the other three girls, Jessica Chastain, Rachel McAdams and Amy Aker, who came with Lena, had arrived early.

These are also the three actresses that Lina mainly promotes. One takes the plot and literary route, the other develops towards action actresses. Different positionings also prevent the competition between the three women to the greatest extent.

Of course, Lina also signed some girls, but it was basically stocked.

It was also a deliberate arrangement for the three girls to gather together.

After all, at the annual Westeros party, people who can get invitations are fools who don’t attend. Even if they have some intimate relationships with a super tycoon, it is not easy to meet each other once. "Genmei" still deliberately asked for leave from a Canadian crew and flew back to Toronto tomorrow morning.

Of course, there are male customers, and they will attend evening parties when they go, but they will definitely not be able to get to this table.

The five women sat down, ordered a meal, and started talking about the evening.

In the afternoon, Lina and the other two had to attend a script exhibition. Jessica and the other two were just preparing for the evening party, taking temporary care, making makeup, and clothes, shoes, etc., which might not be enough for the afternoon.

Of course, it can also be simple.

However, the result is that when a man sees them, he will only say a simple greeting.

Men are always conquered by prepared women.

All right.

While dining and discussing, the restaurant gradually became lively. Lina also found that Jon Favreau, who had just invited them, also chose this restaurant. There were also many familiar guys around, such as Quentin Tarantino, George Clooney, Juliette Lewis, etc., in the innermost northwest corner, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and his party in "The Spirit Catcher", and the table where Matthew Modion and Julian Moore, the heroes and heroines of "The Conjuring", were located. And, what made Lina a little afraid of, Roberta Chilco and Anellys Thurbert, a group of big fairies who were still very eye-catching even in daily clothes...

Hollywood is big and small.

It’s so small that everyone knows each other. Even if they are not familiar with each other, they may not even say a word, but when they look at their faces, they can’t help but feel that they seem to be familiar with each other, so they are inevitably nodding to each other.

But after all, they are restaurants and they are all dining, and they are not lacking in reserve. Except for movie fans outside the circle who have booked their seats, they are brave enough to come forward to ask for autographs, etc., no one will take the initiative to get up and join the scene.

However, this is actually a small scene.

Thinking about the evening party, Lina knew in advance that it would invite about 500 people this time, which would make it even more lively. However, it was inevitable that she would worry. At that time, there would definitely not be many opportunities to say a few words to him.

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel resentful.

It’s really hateful to follow such a man who doesn’t necessarily see him once every few months.

But no matter how resentful it is, even though it is easy to leave, they are reluctant to leave. Of course, it is not that I love someone so much that I can't extricate myself, but that even if there is no love, the man means too much, which makes them unable to extricate themselves.

During the meal, Lina even thought about whether she would not go to the script exhibition in the afternoon, and also carefully dressed up herself with the other three girls.

In the end, I still think that career is the first priority.

However, the two women only stayed for more than an hour at the script exhibition that started at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and then hurried away and rushed to the top of the mountain southeast of Parker City.

Because of his identity, Lina and Annika could naturally stay here, and by the way, they also asked for a room for Jessica Chastan. They also used the maid team here to dress up for the evening party.

However, when I met Robert Chilco and a few in the restaurant at noon, Lina discovered something.

In addition to them, there are also big names like Nicole Kidman or little girls like Vanessa Johnson and Scarlett Johnson, and even Elizabeth Jagger, who called a guy's father, came to Park City for a weekend. However, in the past two days, it seems that he has seen many big fairies in the city, some of which are very obvious. Why are none of them here?

This is unreasonable!

In addition, there are only a few hours left before the evening party. It is said that someone should have arrived, so why hasn't it been there?

When I was putting on makeup in the afternoon, I finally couldn't help but call the housekeeper of the villa and asked directly.

I got the answer.

The group of big fairies were all in another mountaintop villa nearby, which was also a property belonging to a man that was just opened last year.

As for the party going to start, why someone hasn't appeared yet, the villa housekeeper will not casually comment on the boss's itinerary, but Lina is not a fool, so she guessed it immediately, obviously there too.

Bad guy.

Men really prefer beautiful skin.

vulgar.

He felt resentful, but at the beginning of the party that night, a man finally appeared in front of him, and Lina made her feel a little unsatisfied and changed into a happy expression and took the initiative to come over.
Chapter completed!
