On January 19th, the 11th Sundance Film Festival kicked off; on January 21st, the 52nd Golden Globe Awards kicked off.

At any moment in the previous decade, this was a set of data without any comparable value. Almost 99% of the media in the United States would focus their attention on the Golden Globes. Even if someone is willing to give Robert Redford face and report on Sundance, the reporting length and strength are absolutely impossible to match the Golden Globes. Sundance can be said to have been submerged in the wave of the Golden Globes.

But this year it showed a completely different trend. When Hugo rejected the Golden Globes and chose Sundance, almost everyone thought it was Hugo's slap in the face by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Hugo rejected the Golden Globes, rejected the greatest opportunity to win the award of the Best Actor, rejected the feast that was highly anticipated, and chose a freak carnival held in a remote valley. This can almost be said to be an insult, an insult to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, and an insult to the mainstream ideas of the entire Hollywood.

The Chicago Tribune said gloatingly, "Are you following Sundance or the Golden Globes? I think I will choose to follow Hugo." This black humorous teasing made people laugh. It was just the choice of an actor like Hugo that created such storm, which was indeed unexpected.

This is not only the second consecutive year that Hugo has rejected the Golden Globe Awards, but also the second consecutive year that he has refused to attend as a favorite for the award. If there was a "work priority" brought by the "speed of life and death" filming last year as a cover, then there is no room for maneuver in this year's choice, and it almost directly pulled off the fig leaf, making the Golden Globe Awards extremely embarrassed and angry.

But the Golden Globes cannot speak badly because they are a feast of stars, and naturally they will not allow any negative news to disrupt this interest. Moreover, Hugo also expressed his sincere apology through Rick and brought out the publicity "before sunrise" as a shield, so that the Golden Globes could only break their teeth and swallow it into their stomachs.

More than 40 reporters arrived in Park City in one breath. Of course, this scene is not as large as nearly 200 Golden Globes, but for the Sundance Film Festival, which originally had less than 30 reporters interviewed, it was simply... a carnival in the true sense.

This is the case on the streets of Park City at this time. When every real independent film enthusiast heard that the strange faces that appeared in the town in the past two days were actually reporters, and the reporters who came to report on the film festival with a friendly attitude could hardly suppress their excitement and cheered and shouted. This lively atmosphere instantly dispelled the coldness of Park City.

Nicholas had just entered the atmosphere of the Sundance Film Festival and had fallen in love with this land, not because of how enthusiastic and friendly this group of people are, but because of the true fanaticism about the movie. Perhaps, if the movie wants to survive, interests are the necessary choice; but if the movie wants to continue life and vitality, its enthusiasm for art and persistence in dreams is never missing.

Standing on the land of Hollywood, Nicholas has become accustomed to the intrigue and vain behind the supremacy of interests; but standing on the land of Parker City, Nicholas once again saw the simplest and most simple movie dream, and this feeling has really been long-lasting.

Nicholas couldn't help but start to take light steps like the others around him, just like Dorothy and his friends heading towards Oz, feeling fluttering on the corner of his mouth to outline a touch of pleasure and comfort.

Suddenly, the marching team stopped, not because they arrived at the destination, but because they encountered a larger team. At least one hundred people gathered together in front of them, almost completely blocking the streets of the town and completely cutting off the passages. The residents of the town on both sides of the street were not in a hurry. They stood at their doorsteps or on the balcony on the second floor, excitedly looking at the lively scene in front of them, and whistling and shouting from time to time. The scene was like seeing the scene of bullfighting on the street.

"What's wrong?" Nicholas asked curiously. In fact, such scenes are often seen at the three major European film festivals. When a popular and widely respected master appears, all admirers will flock to the whole road and block the entire road. But at the Sundance Film Festival, Nicholas is not sure: Are there such a prestigious and authoritative person in independent films now?

Could it be Robert Redford?

"Normal." Kaira said in a thrilling tone, trying to look at the crowd in front of her if they had known someone, and casually explained, "You know, maybe it's Tom.dicillo."

"Who?" Nicholas claimed to know Hollywood very well, but when he heard the name, he was full of question marks flashing.

"Tom Disillo? The director of 'living.in.oblivion'?" Kaira shouted with an expression of "You are an idiot" on her face, which made Nicholas feel a little embarrassed and her eyes floated. Kaira spread her hands depressedly, "I'm a fool, and I don't think about who I'm talking to." Although this was a self-deprecating word, Nicholas felt a little hot on her cheeks.

As a senior journalist, Nicholas's face is comparable to a city wall. Not to mention that Kayla did not target him directly, even if he pointed at his nose and scolded him, he would remain calm. But at this moment, Nicholas deeply felt the shame: shame that he knew nothing about independent movies. Standing on the land of Parker City, Nicholas's blood seemed to gradually boil.

"The 'Kaimaira Rhapsody' released yesterday won the audience's standing ovation. This movie tells the story of what happened during the filming of an independent film. I think it's empathetic to any filmmaker. It's amazing! It's amazing!"

Kaila said it in a few words, but in the end he felt that his language was too pale and had to pause and savor it carefully, which made Nicholas feel like an outsider. For the first time, Nicholas developed a strong interest in independent films, not because of the attention caused by Hugo, but because seeing Kaila's admiration and concentration in such a work that had never heard of the name made Nicholas feel countless curiosity.

"By the way, Tom and Jim Jarmch are good friends! He has served as a photographer for "permanent.vacation" and "stranger.than.paradi"!" Kaila finally thought of this key point and said excitedly.

"Ha!" Nicholas immediately understood. When talking about Jim Jamsh, his whole idea became clear. This is one of the most famous independent directors in the United States and has become famous for the international film festivals many times. In fact, Jim also came out of Sundance. He participated in the first Sundance Film Festival and won the special jury award for the work "Stranger of Heaven".

Unexpectedly, Tom Disillo is actually a photographer of "The Stranger of Heaven". No wonder it is said that the independent film field is hidden and hiding!

But before Nicholas could react, his attention was interrupted by the screams around him. The familiar scene immediately made Nicholas' mind automatically see the red carpet of the Golden Globe Awards ceremony appear in his mind. Nicholas relied on the instinct of the reporter and immediately raised his head, and then he saw that the scale of more than a hundred people watching in front of him had almost doubled. At this time, half of the street was filled with people, and everyone screamed wildly and shouted enthusiastically. This scene gave Nicholas an illusion: Could this be the Hollywood Hilton Hotel?

This time the Golden Globes ceremony was held at the Hilton Hotel.

But Nicholas looked around and saw that there was still snowy Parker City, the simple streets and the simple buildings revealed a strong sense of desolation. But when he turned around, the surging waves of people were no less than the Golden Globe red carpet. "Keira!" Nicholas turned his head and wanted to find the little girl just now and asked what was going on, but he could not find Kaira, and there was only a continuous crowd of people around him.

Nicholas stood on tiptoe and searched around, but unfortunately hesitated but still didn't see Kaira's figure. There were more and more people on the scene. It was not so easy to find a specific object. After hesitating for a while, Nicholas could only run forward quickly. As a reporter, looking for opportunities to capture news among the crowded crowd is a necessary skill.

Nicholas kept pushing forward from the crowd, but instead of rushing towards the center, he drilled towards the area where the crowd was not as dense as that. After finding the door of the house next to him, he climbed to a stump with almost only branches left. He looked down from a high place and immediately saw the scene in the field at this time.

There were three people gathered in the center. The reason why they were three people was because these three people were tightly pressing against each other's backs and could not move when they stood there. Even though the crowds were surging around, they could still clearly see the figures of these three people, just like a huge rock in the turbulent flow, just like waves around them were constantly slapped, as if the rock could be shattered at any time.

With these three people as the center, circles around them. From Nicholas's perspective, there were at least two hundred people on the scene, completely blocking the streets and having no way to move. At this time, the scene became a scene where people inside could not get out, and there were still people who kept accumulating outside, and the order at the scene was completely out of control.

"Hugo! Hugo...I love you", "Oh, God, God, God! Hugo, woooo...", "Hugo, marry me, Hugo!", "Ahhh...Lancaster! Ah..."

At this time, Hugo was surrounded in the center and could not move, only Hugo.
