I, Doctor in the US

The smoky flavor might be too strong.

So, why don't we chat while we eat?

"Speaking of awards, don't you guys have any thoughts about them?"

Paul eats only a little, plus, he's more concerned about movies.

He's so concerned about movies that he doesn't notice anything unusual.

And Zhou Mo Sen isn't too familiar with these movie matters.

So, he can only stop and be an audience member.

Of course, he isn't just stopping to enjoy it either.

Jennifer Connelly is getting bolder.

She spreads her big toe and second toe apart, moving them up and down...

James Wan is certainly very concerned about this award issue, after all, this movie is his latest work.

"The Sundance Film Festival is indeed a great festival, over the years, the awards at this festival... are really numerous."

To be honest, Zhou Mo Sen really didn't know many details about the Sundance Film Festival, but listening to James Wan now, he suddenly feels enlightened.

Plus, he also feels that this movie festival is kind of absurd.

They say the Sundance Film Festival itself is hosted by a very famous American movie star.

He is Robert Redford.

Anyway, he's very famous, very rich.

But we must acknowledge one thing, Redford is indeed very much into exploring movies.

This Sundance Film Festival, in essence, supports independent filmmaking.

In fact, they first established a non-profit film institute, where Redford holds the chief position and also donates money to this institute.

After that, the current festival came into being.

The concept of independent filmmaking, Zhou Mo Sen didn't quite understand it before, but it became clear by mentioning one person.

Spielberg.

He is the boss of the world's largest and most successful independent film company, DreamWorks.

When he's mentioned, James Wan's eyes also light up.

Zhou Mo Sen, on the other hand... he remembers clearly, it seems it was this year.

DreamWorks was sold to Disney.

Looking at it now, this is definitely a major disaster in the independent film circle.

This acquisition is an unprecedented blow to independent films.

But there's no choice; it seems Spielberg was at his limit.

Actually, up to now, for many people, Spielberg is the world's number one director.

Especially among Chinese film fans of this era.

Speaking of the Sundance Film Festival, it has indeed persisted all these years.

And it's getting better and better.

Originally, thousands of independent films were submitted annually.

Oh, the Sundance Film Festival is held in Park City.

But this small town is only over 40 kilometers away from the center of Salt Lake City.

In the United States, you could say it's practically held in Salt Lake City.

So basically, all those who come to participate in the film festival set up camp in Salt Lake City.

In this way, these thousands of films, although independent means not backed by major companies, many are made by small groups with just a few people.

But this also means at least thousands of filmmakers come.

In terms of tourism, this is definitely significant revenue.

But, of course not all of them can enter the competition.

Some are selected, and then...

The awards are many indeed!

Zhou Mo Sen really didn't know before, he thought these European and American film festivals or awards were all very prestigious.

Now, being here, he realizes just how numerous the awards in Europe and America are.

Just like the Golden Globe Awards, they are divided into many types.

Like comedies, dramas, even TV series...

There are really so many.

So many awards give you a feeling that they're not worth much.

He used to ask and got the answer that... Europe's three major film festivals, they have a lot of awards.

Like one year, Gong Li won two Best Actress awards in Venice with the movie "Ju Dou".

One was an official award, and the other was given by a magazine.

In other words, as long as there are influential magazines, they can issue such awards.

Oh, that's how it is!

Zhou Mo Sen used to think that if our domestic films could win an international award, it was a big deal.

Looking at it now, their awards aren't that valuable.

Okay, like the Golden Palm or Golden Lion, they are indeed prestigious.

But relatively speaking, for instance, the Berlin Film Festival's New Talent Award, last year they gave over 30 of them.

Anyway, Zhou Mo Sen never heard those names, meaning these over 30 New Talent Award winners probably didn't become international stars later.

At most, they just managed to make ends meet in Europe.

Let's not talk about those anymore, our Sundance Film Festival's awards.

Insanely crazy!

There're documentaries, global categories, plus jury awards, not to mention audience awards.

Honestly, way too many.

Probably, the main industry in Parker Town should be trophy manufacturing.

A single film festival probably hands out over a hundred trophies.

Zhou Mo Sen listened for a while, then got a bit absent-minded, yet down there he still felt something.

"Never mind, whether I win or not, I don't care."

This guy said a sentence and really showed off a bit.

Everyone was naturally very happy.

What's next?

Zhou Mo Sen was just about to put his hand on Jennifer Connelly's... but to his surprise, she pulled away.

Teasing me?

"Boss, I'll take Paul and Charlize to visit the committee."

James Wan's words laid out the next task.

Zhou Mo Sen certainly nodded, plus he was starting to feel a bit of numbness in his legs.

...

Jennifer Connelly had just returned to her hotel room, and before she could close the door, someone suddenly rushed in from behind her.

He hugged her from behind and then his hands grabbed...

"What's going on with you now?"

"What's going on?"

"Seems you're in quite a hurry."

"Don't you like it?"

"Of course I like it."

It was Zhou Mo Sen; his sudden advance made Jennifer Connelly feel very thrilled.

Yes, this unexpected sense is wonderful.

But haven't we noticed some changes in our beautiful wife?

She seems to be acting...

"Is Paul not satisfying you?"

Hearing this, Jennifer Connelly was very surprised.

She stared at Zhou Mo Sen and said, "Could it be you..."

In the past few months, Paul hasn't touched her at all.

It's really strange.

Could it be this Zhou Mo Sen guy...

He chuckled and directly tossed Jennifer Connelly onto the bed.

"I just used a little trick."

What trick?

Actually, it's very simple; Paul Bettany was experiencing some hair loss, so he found Zhou Mo Sen, who then prescribed him a very standard remedy.

Propecia plus Minoxidil.

This Propecia... one of its side effects is affecting male hormones.

Simply put, it makes them disinterested in that sort of thing.
