The Sundance Film Festival audiences are indeed different, and the questions they ask are always professional. They will discuss the skills and significance of Richard's use of long shots, they will discuss the way Hugo and Charlize act during the filming process, they will discuss the rhythmic control of the plot progression, and they will discuss the profound meaning of Hugo's connotation for characters such as comedians, gypsy girls, and bards...

This doesn't look like a premiere at all, but rather a professional seminar. All the audience spoke enthusiastically, almost splitting the entire story "before sunrise" and analyzing it in detail. This made the three starring actors Hugo, Richard and Charlize completely devoted to the on-site discussion, so that the reporters on the scene were useless.

In fact, Nicholas knew that reporters had many questions to ask, such as Hugo refused to choose Sundance for the Golden Globes, Sundance Film Festival stole the limelight from the Golden Globes, such as Hugo appeared in public again after four months, such as Hugo and Charlize, Cameron's so-called "triangle relationship", such as the upcoming Oscar nomination list, such as whether he would be willing to attend the Grammy this time until his death...

Every problem is so explosive that it can create a huge whirlpool of public opinion and make every reporter return with a full load. But at this moment, no reporter raised these topics in a terrible way, not because the entire public opinion environment is questioning that the news media has become the priority of interests, and even freedom of speech has become their weapon for seeking interests. You must know that the media themselves are public opinion makers. No matter how fierce the public opinion is, they can at least protect themselves and make themselves invincible, so they don’t need to worry about this at all.

But because the atmosphere of Sundance is so unique, unlike the Golden Globes, or even from Hollywood, the crazy love for movies, obsessed with movies, and focusing on the scope of movies, Parker City is like a paradise isolated from the world, allowing everyone to involuntarily immerse themselves in this lively atmosphere.

This made the reporters a little confused and a little confused. This feeling really took a long time. Just like Hugo condemned not long ago, when they habitually looked for explosive points, they completely forgot the original intention of becoming an entertainment reporter: in addition to the so-called freedom of the press, in addition to their curiosity about behind-the-scenes stories, they also originated from their interest and hobbies for movies and music.

This surging feeling made the reporters want to speak but stop, and hesitate again and again, and eventually they could only become bystanders.

The entire premiere's Q&A session was originally planned for 30 minutes, but it lasted for 75 minutes, because the movie "Before Sunrise" has countless details worth discussing. After departing from the technical link, the topics discussed by the two protagonists in the movie are also full of discussion. This is not only a debate between men and women, but also a debate between people.

After finally waiting for the enthusiastic audience to leave, Robert Redford appeared in front of Hugo. He smiled clearly on his face and waited patiently for Hugo to shake hands with the last audience. After hugging, he walked forward, "Today is a good start."

Hugo looked at Robert in front of him, feeling a little dazed, thinking that he had seen Brad twenty years later. "Well, what are you doing?" Robert only said "start", but did not say what the beginning was.

"You will continue to appear at the beginning of Sundance in the future," Robert said with a smile. "I hope this is your first appearance in Sundance, and it is also an important beginning of the future."

Hugo was a little surprised because Robert was clearly showing kindness to him, hoping that he could become a part of Sundance's future territory. Looking at Robert's smile, Hugo suddenly realized why he thought that Robert and Brad looked very similar, not only because of his appearance, but also because in Robert in front of him, he could see that Brad, who won the Oscar for the Best Picture twenty years later with the "twelve years.a.slave" less the sharpness of the actors, but more roundness of the producer, and more accurate, the calmness of the politicians.

"So, Parker City always welcomes me?" Hugo just shook his mind slightly, but he still said with a smile. He was also a pun, not only talking about the Sundance Film Festival, but also Robert's repulsion and opposition to Hugo.

Of course, Robert, the old fox, could not have been surrounded by Hugo's words. He just replied, "Don't you like Parker City?" This was a response to Hugo. Although Robert did not say that he and Hugo had made up their past grudges, he did take the initiative to extend an olive branch.

Such ambiguous words in social occasions are often plausible, but now Robert is obviously more grateful for being able to appear at Sundance Film Festival "before sunrise", so he is more proactive, "This movie is really a masterpiece, where did you come from?"

"Wonderful thoughts? Are you sure you are talking about my movie?" Hugo's words immediately made Robert chuckle. "Before the sunrise" is precisely because there is no worristic thought, so this movie is composed from the simplest and most basic starting point.

"But the audience like it, don't they?" Robert said without feeling embarrassed at all, "I like it very much too. It's a magical thing to do after a hundred minutes of conversations."

"I don't expect the same review when the movie is released." Hugo is very rational. "Before Sunrise" is too literary, too petty and too personal. This is destined to be a movie that is difficult to get popular. Although almost everyone in Sundance said that the movie is not boring at all for one hundred minutes, it will never be able to create a glory like "Seattle Night Without Sleeping in the Night in Seattle" when he is truly tried. "So, Richard, Charlize and I were surprised and of course I was very happy to have so much love and support in Sundance."

Robert was quite surprised to Hugo's response. He looked at Hugo seriously for the first time. Brad was four years older than Hugo, but Brad could not feel Hugo's wisdom and calmness. Hugo had a... intoxicating charming temperament. This temperament is often a gift that can only be condensed after the years of precipitation or the ups and downs of life, but the older Brad is not as good as the younger Hugo.

Robert was a little more curious about Hugo, but Robert's pause was just a moment. His eyes caught several reporters standing not far away. He chuckled, "Then let's wait for the movie to be released across the United States to discuss it. As for now, I think I'd better leave the time to the reporters, otherwise they would be dissatisfied with Sundance."

After saying that, Robert turned around and left calmly. Hugo set his eyes on Robert's back as he left. This was his first contact with the founder behind the Sundance Film Festival, but he could feel the aura similar to Steven Spielberg and David Geffen. The scene of the male protagonist played by Robert in "Everything Lost" released in 2013 suddenly appeared in Hugo's mind.

Nicholas stood aside, not in a hurry. He did not interrupt Hugo's contemplation, but just watched quietly, waiting for Hugo to come back to his senses. Turning his head, he greeted him with a smile, "The movie has achieved great success, congratulations."

Hugo smiled and shook his head, "No, I won't describe it like this. You know, this is just a premiere. Not to mention that it has not been released yet, even the opinions of the film critics have not yet been released. And, you know, what you will say is an unknown."

Nicholas immediately felt the profound meaning in Hugo's words and immediately raised his hand to express his surrender, "At least I like this movie very much. Moreover, I came to Park City this time, which is really professional."

"Professional?" Hugo frowned slightly and looked at Nicholas in confusion. He didn't understand why Nicholas used this term.

"You know, besides the movie itself, there are too many focus and topics worth discussing, but..." Nicholas dragged the tail, but seeing that Hugo didn't mean to speak actively, he didn't mind, and continued, "But now, I'm focusing all my attention on the movie."

"I thought it was because the 'Los Angeles Times' was a serious newspaper." Hugo's words made Nicholas speechless for a moment, and in the end he could only laugh helplessly.

Nicholas looked at several colleagues and reporters around him. Usually when they met Hugo, they flocked to bombard and bombarded wildly, and it was impossible to be taciturn. What's more, there were only a limited number of reporters coming to Parker City this time, which also means that everyone's interview opportunities and time have increased significantly. In order to promote the movie, Hugo must cooperate with the interview, which is also an important reason why they abandoned the Golden Globe Awards.

But now, the reporters looked at each other one by one. They obviously had questions, but they couldn't ask any of them. Of course, part of the reason was that when the reporters chose Parker City, it meant that they were not completely rejecting independent films. At least deep down, they were also very curious about what sparks would be created when Hugo stood on the stage of the Sundance Film Festival.

Now, "before sunrise" gives an answer, while Sundance's audience gives a more detailed and vivid answer, which silences the reporters.

The first thing Nicholas wanted to ask was about Hugo missing the Best Actor in the Drama category at the Golden Globes, but the words came to his mouth and he swallowed it. "So, for 'before sunrise', what should I pay attention to for the Sundance Film Festival?"

Hugo couldn't help but be stunned and asked directly, "Are you asking me about the focus of your report?" Nicholas shrugged without objection, and Hugo looked at the five reporters standing next to him. Everyone looked like they wanted to speak but no one spoke up. Hugo's smile at the corner of his mouth was a little more interesting.
