Hollywood Hunter

On the big screen, the powerful arrow from the hard bow just shocked an old man who had just drove to see off John.

This is Will, professor of psychology.

Different from the abrupt turn of the original version, because there are already a lot of details on the foreshadowing, the audience realized that compared to other colleagues, Will has a certain special connection with John, and a few more agile audiences have even faintly guessed. Here comes this association.

Knowing the topic everyone was discussing, Will, who seemed to be in a low mood, cheered up and analyzed John's immortal ‘delusion’ from a psychological perspective.

When he found that he couldn't refute John's theory, Will unexpectedly broke out and even pulled out a revolver.

Here is another turning point in the movie.

Everyone gave some comfort and comfort, and then learned that Will's wife had suddenly passed away. The man who had just lost his beloved was already on the verge of collapse. Knowing that John could enjoy an endless life, he felt that time was unfair.

In this episode, John once again showed his unusual concern for Will.

In the end, Will's mood eased, feeling that John intends to terminate the topic, and then took the initiative to bring it up, hoping that he can continue to tell this seemingly beautiful and fantastic story.

John agreed and continued to respond skillfully to everyone's questions.

Unknowingly, the sky ended.

By the bonfire of the fireplace, John played Beethoven's seventh symphony.

In the distant music and blurred firelight, the story seems to begin to end, and it also comes to the final climax.

"I once participated in the rise of the pyramid, and was shocked by the stretch of the Great Wall."

"I have witnessed the prosperity of the Persian Empire, and I regret the fall of the Roman Empire."

"I have come across the preaching of Jesus, listened to what the Buddha said, watched the stars with Copernicus, painted with Van Gogh, felt the light of Aristotle's wisdom, and experienced the splendor of the Renaissance."

"..."

"There is still war."

"Endless war."

"I followed Alexander to conquer Europe, received the Mongols’ whip of God, witnessed the fire in Troy, and experienced the fall of Constantinople."

"The Spartan Uprising, the Crusades, the defeat of the Teutonic Knights, Napoleon's Waterloo."

"as well as."

"The two world wars of mankind's crazy self-destruction."

"..."

John's monologue lasting more than three minutes, like a wonderful speech, slowly unfolded a magnificent historical picture to the people in the cabin.

The music fell unconsciously.

In the light of the fire, John glanced at everyone for the last time, suddenly raised his hand, and a loud high-five, shattering everyone's dreams.

When everyone came back to their senses and faced a group of colleagues who had almost completely lost their doubts, John suddenly announced that the story would end here.

Everything is just a story.

The night is dark.

It's time for parting.

After sending everyone away one after another, John finally gave the big bow and Van Gogh's painting to everyone, without nostalgia.

The song ends.

But there are still women who have a crush on for ten years and insist on staying.

Lean in front of the car side by side.

Look up.

Above the head is the empty and lonely starry sky in the winter, which has not changed since ancient times.

Linda asked if John would come back to attend Will’s wife’s funeral. She received a seemingly inhumane negative answer, but she was not surprised, and then suddenly combined some of John’s and Will’s previous words to reveal something. the truth. A truth that most people have actually guessed at the end.

"This planet is 4.6 billion years old, and it may be 4.6 billion years old."

"Ok?"

"14,000 years old, it's really nothing."

"Ok."

"So, we are all just a moment, right?"

"Yeah, for an instant."

In the final dialogue, the camera began to lift into the sky, zoomed out, and gradually turned into an air space again, frozen in the endless starry sky and the distant outline of the world, and then darkened.

The subtitles are up.

Because of Simon's deliberate actions, the film did not explicitly instill any thoughtful words into the audience from the beginning to the end, but only narrated and discussed interlockingly. However, in the theater, when the film ended, all the audience fell into an involuntary contemplation.

Until the lights came on and there was another moment of silence, the warm applause finally broke out.

The new version of "This Man Comes From Earth" is exactly 90 minutes long, which is slightly longer than the original version. Simon's obsessive-compulsive disorder is at stake.

The screening begins at 10 o'clock and the film ends at 11:30 in the morning.

Along with the applause of the audience, a leader began to take the stage.

A whole row of chairs lined up on the stage one by one. Simon and Redford sat on both sides, posing a posture of leaving the opportunity to a few core members. The middle four were the film’s four main creators, director Brett Ratner, male and female The protagonists George Clooney and Elizabeth Perkins, as well as "It’s just because of the big guys behind you that they have gained popularity, and you guys are jealous of the little bitch." The girl’s position happens to be next to each other. Simon.

The six people sat down and waited for the reporter who was allowed to bring the camera into the room and pressed the shutter for a while, then Redford raised the microphone and asked with a smile: "What do you think of this movie?"

The response from the audience was another round of applause.

After a while, Radford raised his hand and pressed it, and then said: "Then, if you have any questions of interest, you are free to ask questions."

When the voice fell, the audience raised an arm in a rush.

Redford took a look, and steadily selected a reporter from Variety Magazine who happened to have some impression.

The white youth who seemed less than 30 years old took the microphone handed over by the staff and, as expected, pointed directly at Simon: "Mr. Westeros, it is an honor to see you screenwriter again on the big screen. I would like to ask, how did you come up with the idea for this movie, or is it that John, the actor of this movie, is yourself to some extent?"

At the exit of this question, the eyes of hundreds of spectators in the theater were slightly widened, waiting for Simon's answer.

Somewhere in the front corner of the theater, Grace heard this question, but couldn't help but think of the experience in San Francisco last October. There are not many opportunities to be alone with the little man, and Grace can remember every time. Perceiving that someone on the stage had a visibly glanced over here, Grace quickly lowered her gaze, her cheeks slightly hot, and she didn't know how he would answer.

Simon was not surprised by this question either. He glanced at some place under the stage without a trace, with a smile at the corner of his mouth, and said: "It's just an interesting idea that came up when chatting with a friend by chance, and then he made it out. It’s okay. If I were John in the movie, I would definitely try to hide myself as much as possible instead of sitting in front of everyone at this moment. I’m still afraid of being caught to study an anatomy experiment."

In the audience’s laughter, Simon added: “Bright and George have put a lot of effort into this film. I hope everyone’s questions will revolve around the film as much as possible. If I digress, I won’t answer.”

After Simon reminded him, although there were more problems turning to Bright Ratner, the gossip in the theater was still difficult to suppress.

However, when it comes to relatively private topics later, Simon really stopped answering.

The spotted viewers only have one chance to ask questions, and if they hit a wall several times, no one will waste it easily.

The interaction lasted for more than half an hour, and the premiere of "This Man From Earth" ended smoothly at around 12:15.

For the premieres of films in previous years, it is often necessary to wait until the next day to see film reviews.

With the popularity of the Internet in the United States, the speed of information transmission has also increased significantly. Less than ten minutes after the premiere, the first batch of film reviews for "This Man From Earth" appeared on online forums and social platforms.

"Genius creativity, I can't wait to see it again."

"Oh, I can’t describe the shock this movie has brought to me. It also lets me know that movies never need all kinds of big star special effects, but the ultimate creativity. As long as your imagination is rich enough, even You can also make a top science fiction movie without using any technical means. Yes, "This Man Comes From Earth" is a science fiction. However, there are no special effects techniques that are common in traditional science fiction. Okay, I Can’t reveal more, but I swear to God that it is definitely one of the best movies I have ever seen."

"Simon Westeros, who has 500 billion US dollars, is the same Simon Westeros who made "Rolla Run".

"An amazing alternative science fiction movie."

"..."

Almost one-sided praise, of course there is no lack of opposition.

A film critic on the Facebook platform who was certified as a columnist for the Seattle Times criticized "This Man From Earth" is "a disappointing movie, full of Simon Westero's crazy imagination".

Another freelance film critic who also has more than 800,000 fans on Facebook is even more straightforward: "I can be sure that this film written by Simon Westero himself, which is said to cost only more than one million US dollars, will sell again. Because it will once again remind the public of the peculiarities about Simon Westeros. However, from a film perspective, it is really insincere. I think in the future someone will definitely associate it with the "Twelve Angry Men" "It is an analogy, but compared with the depth of thought in "Twelve Angry Men", this movie really has no connotation and the story logic is very far-fetched."

The original version of "This Man Comes from Earth", people like it very much, and there are also many people who don't like it.

Simon's original intention of making "This Man From Earth" is for fun, and perhaps there is a little bit to further obscure the public's intention to confuse him. Regarding media comments, whether positive or negative, he is also prepared. Any movie controversy is inevitable, and these comments will actually not have much impact on Simon.

Now that I have done my best to do my best, the follow-up is left to the audience.

After the morning premiere, having lunch with Redford and others, Simon returned to his hilltop villa south of Park City in the afternoon.

Simon's time is not free. Celia Miller and Ken Dixon, who have returned from Ukraine, came to Park City on purpose. He needs to deal with some related matters in detail.

So until the evening.

Since it started last year, this time in Park City, Simon organized another Hilltop House Party as usual, inviting many filmmakers to come.

The total number of films entered and screened in Park City this year exceeded 200, and the overall quality is very good.

On Daenerys Entertainment's side, in addition to "This Man Comes From Earth", there is also a new director Edward Burns's "McMullen Brothers" that entered the main feature film competition unit. This is a contract with Gaomen Pictures A project recommended by Ang Lee’s producer partner James Shams, the production cost was only $500,000.

In the past history, "McMullen Brothers" was the winner of this Sundance Jury Award and achieved very good commercial results.

In the past few years, Daenerys Entertainment did not have any public relations interference with the results of the Sundance review. This time, Simon took the initiative to ventilate Redford. "This Man from Earth" does not require any honor. I hope the jury will leave the opportunity to Other videos. This is actually a hint that "This Man From Earth" makes way for "Brothers McMullen".

After all, whether "This Man Comes From Earth" won an award has little effect on the commercial performance of this film that is destined to have attracted too much attention. "McMullen Brothers" won an award, but it can once again win a new filmmaker.

In addition to the two feature films, there is also a fashion documentary "Zipper Down" entered the main competition unit of documentaries.

This is the video record of Isaac Mizrahi, the creative director of the American fashion brand Liz Carbon, during the preparation of the new season of clothing last year, because Liz Carbon is a cheap fashion brand, and many luxury brands under Melisandre There is no competitive relationship, so Gaomen Pictures accepted this cooperation. The documentary is jointly invested by Lishi Carbon and Gaomen Pictures, and Gaomen Pictures is solely responsible for the operation and distribution.

Liz Carbon also paid a lot of money for this brand promotion. During the filming of the documentary, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangolinsta, Naga Allman, and Yasmin Gary , Tyra Banks, Qusi Goff and other top models have appeared. In this Park City exhibition, several supermodels including Cindy Crawford were also invited to help out. The premiere of the film is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.

Many supermodels appeared in Park City, and the evening hilltop party will naturally not be missed, so it also added a bit of beauty to the party where filmmakers gathered.

Called back to Miami in the morning, learned that things had turned around, relaxed, Bryce Levison stayed in the hilltop villa as a canary for the whole day.

At night, I felt the excitement of the party downstairs. At first I was worried about being recognized and embarrassed. I wanted to stay upstairs, but I couldn't hold it back. In addition, Grace Si was picked up by Simon in the afternoon. Poulter joined the party. She didn't want to be behind, so she quietly went downstairs.

Then I found out that I couldn't really attract much attention among these familiar faces. Those supermodels with tall and beautiful figures that shuttled through the party made Bryce Levison a rare inferiority complex. No matter how well-maintained, her son is already 17 years old, after all, she can't compare with these big fairies at the time.

However, thinking of what was about to happen tonight, Bryce Levison's mentality changed.

These big fairies show off one by one, not to attract the attention of a young man at this party, but she has already done it.

No matter how fair the woman is, he can't stop a man from disliking that type, right?

Thinking of this, Bryce Levison passed through the party crowd and found Westeros in an indoor bar booth.

The other party is chatting with a few other people. There are two models with obvious flattering expressions beside each other. They are seen on fashion impurities, like Tricia Schiff and Patricia Villaquez. , Are all Victoria's Secret Angels. After a little hesitation, Bryce Levison took the initiative to step forward.
