This is the moment that belongs to Renly.

Not only the audience, not only the actors and friends, but also the director Rodrigo Cortez stood up, raised his hands high, clapped vigorously, and his eyes flashed with excitement and excitement. Light!

No one knows better than Rodrigo how much Renly has paid for this movie and how much he has been through. The whole work "Buried Alive" is a one-man show by Renly, and he presented this wonderful work with the power of one person. Even Rodrigo, as a director and editor, has seen the entire work countless times, but at this moment on the big screen, when he sees the full version again, the shock is still not weakened. On the contrary, his excitement is growing. It surged up and gave all the applause, all the credit, all the tribute to Renly.

The turbulent emotions rushed like a tide, as if Renly was the center of the vortex, all the praise, all the madness, all the respect all boiled and rolled around Renly, the mixed emotions reverberated in the chest and shook the brain. There was a momentary blank.

Looking up, Renly saw Ryan Gosling's bright smile, shaking his head and clapping his hands, shouting, "Mad, you're a lunatic, lunatic!" stand up.

Rami, who was standing next to him, gave Renly the thumbs up of both hands, exclaimed again and again, and then directly whistled, leading James and others around him to whistle and coax, the scene was very lively; But even so, Rami was still unfinished, and then saw Rami patted Ryan on the shoulder, the two approached and bit his ears, and a bright smile appeared on Ryan's face immediately.

Before Renly could react, he saw Rami raising his hands high, hitting his hands while jumping with the rhythm, and began to shout, "Renly! Renly! Renly!"

Ryan, who was next to him, also joined Rami. The two were like kangaroos, jumping up and down, the smiles on their faces were even more dazzling than the sun, and they shouted one after another, "Renly! Renly! "Soon, those Renly friends realized it, and everyone followed suit, jumping up and shouting, "Renly!"

For the audience in the screening hall, more than 90% of the people may not know who "Renly" is, and may even have never heard of the name, but in the frenetic atmosphere, everyone also They all imitated, jumped, shouted, cheered, and celebrated, showing the madness and enthusiasm of the film festival vividly.

Chanel was startled by Tessa. Tessa shook her head frantically, her long hair flying freely in the air. It didn't look like she was at a film festival, but at a music festival. music Festival? This thought flashed through his mind, and then Chanel also started to jump up, "Renly! Renly!" When the first shout came out, it seemed to break the dimensional wall, that kind of fun, that kind of happiness, that kind of happiness. It was so wonderful that she couldn't help but want to scream.

So she did, "Renly!"

There was an incredible scene in the entire screening hall. The audience at the scene was jumping and shouting. The neat and uniform scene was truly spectacular. The reporters' eyes flashed with astonishment as they turned to look at the film behind them. The hot and boiling crowd, although the Toronto Film Festival has always been known for its hospitality, such a scene is rare in ten years.

Gavin also wanted to scream, he also wanted to jump, he also wanted to join everyone in the carnival, but the reporter's professional instinct forced him to calm down and quickly record the scene with a camera, but, The hot and boiling blood made him unable to help but follow everyone's rhythm, and began to shake his feet, and he couldn't stop.

Renly looked at Rami and Ryan, and the smiles couldn't help but outline, but with a hint of helplessness. The two people were typical of coaxing. He couldn't help but stand up, and under the attention of everyone, he walked to the seat. The open space in front of the chair seemed to be walking towards the Broadway stage. After the performance, he accepted the applause of the audience and expressed his thanks in the form of a curtain call.

Some are unfamiliar, some are familiar.

Renly stood in the center, bathed in the light, his face was covered in darkness, and his face seemed to blur, leaving only a boiling ocean. Renly looked at this ocean of applause, cheers, and applause earnestly, enjoying his moment with magnanimity and dignity. At this moment, he let himself roam in it.

The applause lasted for more than ten minutes, as if there was no end to it, and it couldn't stop. Afterwards, Renly invited Rodrigo to join him in applause, which made the whole scene full of ghosts and wolves, and the audience did their best to express their love for the movie. This, obviously, the reporters did not expect.

Of course, this is also the essence of the film festival - to provide a platform for those film lovers to discover more works of art, independent works, and niche works, in addition to the commercial films released in major theaters, to enrich the film market. variety and diversity. Therefore, an independent work that no one pays attention to, wins a lot of money at the film festival, which is precisely the most beautiful part of the film festival.

The opening of the 35th Toronto Film Festival has entered the fifth day in a blink of an eye. The most popular work so far is undoubtedly "Blue Valentine's Day", which received a ten-minute standing ovation from the audience. Subsequent film critics also did not hesitate to praise their words, and generally believed that this work was very promising in this year's awards season.

However, the Toronto Film Festival is not based on awards. The top award every year is voted by the audience, the People's Choice Award. Therefore, compared to film critics, the audience's pursuit is the most direct and effective. For example, at this moment, "Buried Alive" is enjoying more hot applause than "Blue Valentine's Day".

Although the screening hall of "Buried Alive" can only accommodate 300 people, it is far less than "Blue Valentine's Day" premiered at the main venue; although the quality of the media reporters "Buried Alive" is more like performing their duties, far Far less than the enthusiasm of "Blue Valentine's Day"; however, more than ten minutes of applause really conveyed people's love for "Buried Alive".

After the applause finally stopped, Renly's first words were, "Everyone's cells in their palms should be dead. Remember to take a good rest when you go back. Don't attend the premieres of other movies."

A pun, not only made fun of the applause just now, but also made fun of the "robber in the city" - today almost everyone's focus is on the latter, so that "buried alive" has been ignored. Such humorous remarks immediately aroused laughter from the audience, and even the reporters couldn't help laughing.

During the question-and-answer session, Gavin couldn't even wait for Renly to call his name, and the first one couldn't help but stand up. Such an impatient action made everyone laugh - today's reporters were a bit under-prepared, and the enthusiasm for questioning naturally couldn't match up. "Blue Valentine's Day", so Gavin stood up alone.

Gavin didn't care at all, and took the microphone from the staff, "Director, the first question is for you, I want to ask you, why did you choose Renly Hall as the male protagonist? It's definitely audacious to choose a newcomer who doesn't have any big-screen experience in an entirely one-man film. Also, what do you think of his performance?"

Surprisingly, instead of questioning Renly, Gavin threw the question to Rodrigo.

Rodrigo was a little surprised, but after hearing the question, he calmed down, "To be honest, Renly wasn't my first choice. As you said, before this movie, I didn't know Renly at all, and Never heard of an actor named Renly Hall. He took the initiative to audition. He persuaded me with his performance, or more precisely, he shocked me with his performance. For the first time, I knew that the original performance can be There is so much power."

Having said this, Rodrigo turned his head to look at Renly who was standing beside him, and saw Renly nodded with a smile. He seemed to enjoy such a compliment very much. Seeing Rodrigo's gaze, Renly also turned his head. He raised his right hand and signaled to Rodrigo to "continue", as if he hadn't heard enough. It was like a little boy who got a perfect score on a school test and then heard his parents showing off to others, holding his chest high, proud and content.

The audience laughed.

Rodrigo couldn't help but smile, "As you can see just now, there is only one actor in the whole film, Renly. Of course, there are other actors outside the screen who have contributed their voices. We must thank them for their efforts, but it is undeniable that , Renly's performance is the soul of the whole work, I'm not sure what everyone thinks, but my idea is..." Rodrigue didn't say much, but directly sent applause, the live whistle and sharp The cry rang out immediately, followed by another burst of applause.

Nothing is more immediate and effective than such a response.

Bradley couldn't wait to stand up, hoping to grab the second opportunity to ask questions, but he didn't expect that he had already grabbed fast enough, and someone still stood up at the same time, Bradley looked back. , Actually more than one, Daisy Lucas of "Vanity Fair", Cornell McGregor of "Entertainment Weekly", Eli Wallach of "Seattle Post" and others all stood up, including Bradley has six people inside!

"Don't worry, I'm just standing here, there should be quite a lot of time today. I think everyone has the opportunity to ask questions. In order to avoid the cold scene in the future, everyone should take it slowly." Renly's ridicule successfully made him again Everyone at the scene laughed, "Daisy, you can ask the second question first. To declare, I definitely didn't choose this because Daisy was the only woman among the six people."

Daisy shrugged, "I don't mind, as long as this opportunity to ask questions is mine." That magnanimous and joking appearance, the laughter that hadn't had time to calm down resounded again.
