I, Doctor in the US

"Oh my God! Have you seen "Infiltration"?

"What's that..."

"It's directed by James Wan! It's amazing!"

"Huh?"

"It's a horror movie, idiot! Scared me to death!"

"Really?"

The Sundance Film Festival finally started; the 'festival' in a film festival essentially means films are being showcased.

Unlike the Oscars, which is actually just an award ceremony, they don't showcase films.

So, for films to be eligible for the Oscars, they must have been able to screen in theaters for over a week in the previous year.

The Oscars are just about the awards, so a week of screening means it's been shown.

However, film festivals like this are different; many of the films are actually new... of course, this requirement is not compulsory.

You could say the European film giants are a bit proud, preferring many films to be new releases.

Meaning they haven't been shown before, no one on this planet has seen them, and they should preferably be by a big director.

But, the big three in Europe do make exceptions, like "Farewell My Concubine," which had already been released in Hong Kong in March and then went to Cannes in May.

In fact, on one hand, that film was indeed made with a lot of skill, and on the other, the old white flags in France are quite the schemers.

A bunch of nasty folks who love to find dirt to throw around naturally loosened their criteria.

Let's not talk about various stories from Cannes, and just talk about this Sundance Film Festival.

It runs for ten days, selecting sixty films from over a thousand submissions, which is quite the workload.

So it seems the organizers are quite serious and responsible.

Although many people look down on the Sundance Film Festival, always thinking it's unreliable.

But it's okay; many film enthusiasts who love independent films genuinely come.

This naturally boosts tourism in Park City and Salt Lake City.

In fact, the festival is held in January, which is a good skiing season.

And most film productions are from Hollywood, which is in Southern California.

Even in January, it's pretty warm in Southern California, though some thick clothing is needed, but snow is hardly seen.

But upon arriving at the Utah plateau...

Indeed, this festival is quite shrewd, even without many tourists, the Hollywood film people can easily fill up this small town.

In this way, everything is quite decent.

Enjoy watching the films.

As a result, a film by James Wan, "Infiltration," quickly won over many film enthusiasts.

This movie is really scary!

As a horror movie, it's absolutely innovative.

Because this film introduces some very different concepts about 'ghosts.'

Concepts?

They're from the East!

The Intermediate State Body, which is really different from many Western ghosts.

Thus, the movie evolved into "Infiltration" naturally, though the true translation should actually be, "Possession" or "Ghost Possession."

Look, there isn't even a concept for this in English.

They can only use a word like "Infiltration."

This Eastern supernatural concept is naturally intriguing and comes from Zhou Mo Sen and James Wan.

And after watching it, film enthusiasts... gave it rave reviews!

In fact, the Christmas Film Festival has been organized for so many years that it has long shed its days as a scrappy affair.

It used to mainly feature B-grade films, and many of those were horror films.

Now, at the Christmas Film Festival, many films are independently produced artistic films.

Alright, European and American art films indeed have some traits.

Trippy (drugs), hippie, dark, giving a voice to society, etc...

And what's shown often pushes some boundaries.

How do low-budget films attract movie fans?

Now a mere 30 seconds of movie special effects costs a million US dollars by Industrial Light & Magic.

So, might as well have a chat with the male and female leads.

Let's make sacrifices for art.

This is certainly not low-level sleaze; it's definitely high-level art.

The level of PUA by American directors is really not low.

And this highlights James Wan's "Infiltration" even more.

This film is truly well-made, not very arty.

Just pure fright.

American film fans felt pretty good about it, and the festival released some news.

There are also local magazines in Utah, of course, including the magazine by Redford's institute.

Magazine ratings!

This is all learned from Europe.

Well, scores and such aren't important, what the Americans care about more are the critics' reviews.

Any good praise?

"The real horror movie of 2005!"

Wow, that's quite an achievement!

With this level of acclaim, the buzz for "Infiltration" has really come up!

The awards at our Sundance Film Festival aren't limited, and one or two should surely be won.

...

"Infiltration" has already become a hit.

And several of Zhou Mo Sen's disciples have also gotten in touch.

"Ah? Do we have to do it like this?"

"What's up? Any issues?"

"But this medication..."

"Getting this medication was not easy, I got it from asking the master for a prescription."

Daddario, Nicole Kidman, and Ivan Mc, the three of them, went skiing first.

And when Charlize Theron had free time, they all gathered together.

But what the South African Beauty Diamond didn't expect was that they were planning something big!

Alright, it's a kind of drug.

To put it simply, this drug makes people more sensitive.

Cough, cough... it actually belongs to antidepressants.

More sensitive, in what way sensitive?

Charlize Theron herself was tempted, but listening to them, the implication was...

"Hmph! Let that Jennifer Connelly pretend!"

"Right! We need to tear off her mask of being a virtuous wife and mother this time!"

"Exactly! We're also helping the master!"

Well... the three of them still haven't figured out some truths.

Anyway, they've already made their decision.

Charlize Theron is the inside ally, being the leading actress in "Infiltration."

And to somehow get this medication to Jennifer Connelly...

"Isn't the risk too high?"

As soon as the South African Beauty Diamond said this, she felt a bit cowardly herself.

The other three beauties needed no further mention.

Anyway, they're ready to stir some things up in this little Park City.

On the award night, they will act!

...

Zhou Mo Sen is completely unaware of what his disciples are planning.

He has seen them recently too, but they went skiing...

As a doctor, he couldn't help but give a word of caution.

The end of skiing is orthopedics.

Their response was interesting; they straightforwardly said that if something happened, the master would surely cure them.

Zhou Mo Sen couldn't refute, so he let them be.

"Infiltration" is going strong right now, and after it became a hit, some big companies came looking.

Currently, Paramount and Colombia have shown intent.

Zhou Mo Sen plans to wait a bit.

Let's discuss it after the award ceremony.

By then, it should fetch a good price.

Of course, what Zhou Mo Sen thinks about is definitely the profit share, which requires negotiation skills.

Negotiations aren't urgent at the moment, but Jennifer Connelly has come to him.

"Master, there's some bad news."

"What's the matter?"

"The Descent Sect seems to be quite formidable; I saw the director and the screenwriter discussing this sect."

James Wan and his buddy Warner?

Damn!

Zhou Mo Sen knows he'll have to do something about it.
