45 Chapter 45 (1/2)

Park City in Utah is well-known throughout the United States for its beautiful snow scenes and passionate skiing venues, but every mid-January, the theme of this small city is unsurprisingly taken over by the movie.

Countless movie lovers or filmmakers are like sharks smelling blood, beginning to gather here from all over the world.

Some people are looking forward to making a blockbuster here and setting foot on the broad road of the film industry;

Some people want to show their own movies here and seek like-minded friends;

Some people come here to make profits and control the distribution rights of popular movies;

To put it simply, everyone who comes to the Sundance Film Festival will have their own needs and want to gain something here.

In the freezing cold wind, Lyman wore a thick winter outfit with a light gray knitted scarf around his neck, walking on the streets of Park City.

Looking around at will, you can see the content related to the movie.

Film buyers in suits and shoes hurrying past the street; filmmakers who have begun open-air screenings on the roadside open space without the qualifications for screening; fanatical onlookers watching movies with smiles in their hearts.

Before he took a closer look, another cold wind blew in Lehman's direction, crawling into the body along the gap in the neck, and colliding violently with the warm body surface.

The body was irritated and couldn't help but shiver.

”Damn, it's really cold!”

Ryan on the side could not help but explode.

”If you want to be brave, just dress like this, can it be cold? Don't look at the weather.” George laughed and teased Ryan.

There were 5 people in their party. In addition to Thomas, who went to the front to watch the movie, there was also a financial officer from Europa Pictures who also came with George.

He is tall, taller than Ryan, estimated to be 187cm.He was also fully armed, and even wore thick black gloves on his hands.He was silent all the way, and seemed a little out of place.

”Hey, Kane, are you going to see it?” George walked and waved.

They are going to Thomas.

The tall man called Kane did not answer as usual, but moved closer in their direction.

The place where Thomas was watching was a small square. Although it was close to the evening, many people still gathered here.

In the central area, there are about a dozen groups using simple screening equipment to show their works.

Thomas stood in the place with the most onlookers.

”Hi! Thomas, is the movie good?”

When a group of people came over, Ryan greeted first.

Then Lehman also spoke, ”What is the subject matter of watching so fascinating?”

”Huh, a thriller about how a man killed his neighbor's family.” Thomas turned his head and said: ”The shot was pretty good, but it was too bloody, and the picture was very shaky. It was a unique style. Right.”

Lehman looked inside, and the film was almost over.

After the man killed the mistress of the last house, under the shroud of moonlight, the camera recorded the man's back walking outward.

Happiness...

Applause rang out, and the onlookers did not hesitate to express their encouragement and affirmation.

Lehman also applauded. Although he didn't watch the previous plot, as Thomas said, the director's style is very well grasped, and the footage has the texture of a murderous documentary.

Then a few movie buyers in suits and leather shoes came up.

This kind of sales method is unexpectedly good, as long as it can attract most of the audience's onlookers, it can be very successful.

Perhaps this is also the reason why major film festivals are so sought after. It can create a very favorable contact situation for both interested parties and promote cooperation.

Just like ”Blair the Witch” which turned out in the open-air movies a few years ago, every filmmaker is eager to be the next one.

”George, don't you try? Such a movie should have distribution value.”

Lyman knew that one of George's tasks was to come to the film festival to seek opportunities, so he spoke.

”My energy is mainly focused on the work ”Three Fools Havoc in Bollywood”, and the others are secondary. What's more, so many people have come to talk about cooperation. It is destined to be impossible, and the bidding is too cumbersome, and it may not necessarily yield much?.”

Looking at the group of directors already surrounded by people in suits and ties, it seems that George's words make sense.

Lehman didn't think too much, and patted Thomas, ”Let's go, do business first.”

They are those who have invitations and can enter the show, so they don't need to go to the open air show.

And this admission ticket still has to pay a sum of money, this trip from the hotel is to do this.

Walking along the square and turning right at another intersection, Lehman and others came to the office of the film festival organizing committee, consulted at the door, and quickly found the corresponding office, took out the invitation letter and the corresponding work After the materials, the relevant screening qualifications were processed.

”Gentlemen, Director Lyman.”

A middle-aged man with glasses sat behind his desk. He said formulaically: ”According to the schedule, your film will be screened at the Morris Theater on the evening of the 19th, which is about 7 o’clock tomorrow. You need to pay. The entrance fee is US$3,000, the printing material fee is US$100, the theater screening management fee is US$500, and...”
