Chapter 1312 Open-air screening
One sentence after another, slowly and slowly, with a slightly smiling voice like spring breeze; however, the content of the words throws out questions one after another.
Ripley's heart slowly sank——
Everything happened too fast, and she still hadn't been able to completely sort out her thoughts. There was a lack of consideration, and the seemingly perfect plan was actually full of loopholes.
So, what to do?
Just give up?
Ah, I’m not willing to give in. I’m really not willing to give in.
Because of "Nuan Nuan Contains Light" and because of thousands of other independent films and art films, they finally ushered in a dawn and a turning point. The independent film world hidden in the dark corners slightly revealed its face and entered the mainstream attention. , but was not prepared enough and could not fulfill the opportunity. The frustration and bitterness hit his chest hard.
However, Ripley did not give up easily.
"Perhaps, we can go to other cinemas, even large cinema chains. They have large screening halls that can accommodate a thousand or even two thousand people, and can hold meetings of any size."
"It's just a preview screening, and it's completely late to change the venue now."
There was only silence on the other end of the phone, and you could feel their surprise.
Then, Anson's voice came.
"Are you sure, Miss Flor, this means that the opportunity of Angelica Cinema Center has slipped away. For those large theater chains, they do not lack such opportunities, and they do not even need such opportunities."
"But the Angelica Film Center is different."
"We chose the Angelica Film Center because of the independent film atmosphere here. Otherwise, we could have held a preview screening in Los Angeles."
Ripley took a deep breath, clenched her fists and patted her thighs gently:
Calm down, Ripley, calm down.
Ripley also spoke.
"Of course, believe me, I know very well that for you, it is the same wherever the preview is held; but for us, such an opportunity is extremely rare, and we cherish and thank you for your willingness to give us the opportunity." This is our honor to receive the trust and recognition from Jelica Film Center.”
"But..."
"Anson, there are things more important than myself and more important than the Angelica Film Center."
"The number of online applicants this time is off the charts. Regardless of whether they are genuinely interested or just joining in for fun, it is a fact that they are attracting attention."
"We need to let people know that there is a vast world of independent film and art films outside of the awards season works. Even though they can't win Oscar nominations or even win attention during the awards season, they are still gems and quietly blooming. ”
"Movies are not just popcorn and Oscar. It's not even just the three major European film festivals and Sundance. There are still many, many excellent works outside of them. I mean good-looking movies, interesting movies, special A movie, not just any movie.”
"If 'Nuan Nuan Contains Light' can open a gap and make a thousand people out of the 300,000 people - no, a hundred people become curious about independent films, then it will be a success. This is better than the Angelica movie. The center’s own promotion is more important.”
Plop, plop——
Ripley's heart was beating wildly and she was panting, but she finally said all the words.
No, not yet.
"Anson, I know what I'm asking for, and I know it all sounds crazy, but I really, really, really hope you can say yes."
"I know that you took on the filming of 'Elephant' just to do a favor for a friend. I know that you like Charlie Kaufman and that's why you took on the filming of 'The Light', no matter how other people use prejudice and discrimination I look at you, but you are always you and never change.”
There was a chuckle on the other end of the phone. "Captain, you should look at others. They still have dreams, still believe in hope, and still live down-to-earth with passion. This kind of magnanimity is beyond our comparison."
A voice next to him replied calmly and calmly, "I'm not envious."
"Haha." Anson laughed loudly, "Miss Flor, there is no need for you to keep giving me high hats. I am not that great or noble. I chose these works purely for my own benefit. I am a As an actor, living in the vanity fair of Hollywood, my conscience and dreams have long been buried under the Hollywood sign.”
Calm, confident, and funny.
Obviously, Anson has a clear understanding and positioning of himself, and is not so easily fooled. This is completely different from the lead singer of August 31st who sang Every Starlight Matters at the Grammy Awards.
So, which Anson is the real one?
"But."
"On a certain level, we are in the same camp. We all hope that 'Nuan Nuan Inner Light' can be successful. We all hope that more people can appreciate this film and see a broader perspective of the film outside of the mainstream. world.”
"It's a pity that I can't go to New York..."
Ripley was disappointed.
"However, I can connect to the scene by phone, and Kate should be willing to join in. I can even call Mark, Kristen and Elijah. Of course, Charlie and Michelle will also be fine."
"Just an Octopus connection is enough. Unfortunately, there is no way to multi-thread live video broadcast now."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"But I think as long as you can communicate with the audience, the method is not the point."
Ripley's heart suddenly jumped up, unable to restrain her excitement and excitement. The happiness and joy that could not be described in words completely burst out, filling her entire chest.
"My suggestion is that the screening should still be arranged at the Angelica Film Center. After all, it matches the tone of the movie. If the venue is changed, the nature of the entire preview will change."
"However, we need a bigger venue. You are right. Three hundred thousand people applied, but only two hundred people attended. This is a waste."
"If this was a premiere, there is no doubt that this is a good publicity opportunity. The scalping of tickets may skyrocket and create a VIP effect that only a small number of viewers can experience. The publicity effect should be outstanding."
"But that's not our original intention."
"We just hope that the audience will enjoy the movie and have a good time, in a way, like the premiere of 'The Butterfly Effect.'"
"So, what do you think about open-air screenings?"
Ripley was so surprised and surprised that she couldn't control herself and blurted out, "What?"
"I mean, at the Cannes Film Festival, where they had a beach screening and hundreds and thousands of people gathered to watch the movie on a giant screen, it was an unforgettable experience, why can't we do that?"
< br>
"I remember that outside the Angelica Cinema Center there was a set of steps and a square, right?"
"How many people can be accommodated there? Two thousand people? What if the surrounding apartments and office buildings are included? Everyone can sit at the window of their own home and watch a movie with potato chips and Coke. It will be a unique experience."
"'Cat and Mouse' had an outdoor screening in Washington Square, and I thought that was a great idea."
"Miss Flor, what do you think?"
"Wait, or is it too late to apply for permission from New York City Hall?"
