The premiere of "Buried Alive" didn't end until about seven o'clock, which was a lot later than expected, mainly because the audience's questions were too enthusiastic, too crazy, and dawdled, so it arrived at this time.
Even after the premiere, the reporters still surrounded Renly, and the entire crew consisted of only Renly and Rodrigo. The reporters were not very interested in the director, so Renly became the target of public criticism and left the theater. A large group of people still gathered around Renly, and they were bustlingly interviewing at the entrance of the cinema for another ten minutes before letting Renly go.
"A blockbuster, really a blockbuster!" Ryan's hoarse duck voice sounded from behind, and then he trotted all the way, jumping up and wanting to jump on Renly's back, but Renly heard the sound ahead of time , dodged and evaded, and then Ryan threw himself forward, staggered, took a few big steps forward, and almost fell, and his embarrassed appearance made everyone laugh .
Ryan turned around, put his hands on his hips, bit his lower lip, and his eyes fell on Ren Li, which was meaningful, but in the end it turned into a helpless smile on the corner of his mouth.
Just at this moment, Rami had already pounced on him. Renly obviously didn't expect it, and Rami pounced on the spot. This time it was Ryan's turn to laugh.
Rami's voice exploded in Renly's ears, "Toronto, did you hear that? Renly's in Toronto! Renly's in Toronto!" It's a way of black rap, someone's somewhere, a great guy When the scene is present, the notable figures are present, and everyone must warmly welcome and even worship.
This made Renly laugh speechlessly. This group of friends were even more excited than his client, as if they were the protagonists of today's "Buried Alive", Ryan also stepped up again and gave Renly a few blows on his chest, "Today is really exciting! God, have you seen the expressions of those media reporters? They were so shocked that they were speechless, and they all lost their souls. That look is so classic! Classic! You said, if this goes on, the movie will directly win the People's Choice Award If so, what shall we do?"
Renly laughed outright.
Impossible, "Buried Alive" is impossible to win the People's Choice Award, because the movie is still too tense and heavy, especially the ending is too dark. The so-called People's Choice Award is to make all audiences excited, excited and loved Yes, "Buried Alive" is completely substandard, not even Ryan's "Blue Valentine". The People's Choice Awards at this year's Toronto Film Festival, if nothing else, should be "The King's Speech".
"Man, you should think about your movie, we're competitors." Renly raised his chin and challenged Ryan.
Ryan didn't have any stage fright, "Then let's have a try! Do you want to bet? Make a bet and see if you win or I win?"
He said as if there were only two films competing in the entire Toronto Film Festival, but Renly didn't refute, but raised his right hand high, "Then let's see, the loser, take off/bare/clothes in How about running wildly at the door of the main venue?"
"Playing so much!" Ryan was immediately frightened, but Renly was further agitated, "Don't dare to forget it." At this time, everyone was booing, and Ryan was suddenly unable to ride a tiger, so he could only nod his head again and again, "Naked/ Run naked/run! You have it, I have it too, there's nothing to be ashamed of, is it?"
…
The group left the movie theater in a taxi and went back to the hotel. When they passed the main venue, the bustling event was presented in front of them. More than 100 reporters completely crowded the red carpet interview area, surrounded by enthusiastic movie fans. The entire scene was crowded, it seemed that there were at least 600 people, maybe even more... The fiery hustle and bustle lit up the splendor of the night in the gradually setting sun. And the premiere of "Buried Alive" isn't on the same level at all.
"Aren't you going to be there?" Renly turned to look at Ryan, who was sitting in the back seat, and asked.
Ryan and Rami both looked at Renly and followed Renly's gesture to look out the window, only then did they understand, Ryan shook his head, "This kind of premiere is quite boring. What's more, me and A Fleck didn't know him either, and it was just a foil, they didn't like to play with our group of Canadian country folks."
Ben Affleck represents the Boston elite. They are a very special group. They think that Boston is a better city than New York and Los Angeles. They have their own culture, their own circle, their own system. , as if isolated from the world, but also as connected to the world. In fact, Boston's closure is even more severe than the Midlands.
The background of the story presented in the movie "Focus" gives a glimpse of the specialness of Boston. After Ben changed his job as a director, his eyes have always stayed on Boston - "The Thief in the City" is a story that happened in Boston, just like Woody Allen's special touch to New York.
Renly pursed his lips lightly, "Only those who live in castles think they are the center of the world." This is the case in Boston, but why not in London and New York? Nobility even more so.
Both Ryan and Rami could hear the understatement of disdain in the words, not envy, jealousy, hatred, but condescending contempt, which made them look at each other, and then both burst into laughter. They like Renly like this.
The night gradually deepened, but the lively and prosperous Toronto was not over yet; when the morning came again, the whole city recovered again, welcoming the vigor and vitality of a new day.
"Fairy Wood"
Andy Rogers woke up early in the morning and has a busy day at work today.
The premiere of "Buried Alive" is over, but this is only the first step, followed by the media reviews of the official magazine, then the normal reflection of the film in major theaters, and then the audience's feedback on the film; and this At the same time, the media will also conduct interviews with Renly. The promotion of the film must take the first step, then seek a distribution company, and then arrange a schedule. If a distribution company is not found, they must also appear in other film festivals. superior…
busy? Yesterday's premiere was the least busy part.
Although yesterday afternoon's premiere went very smoothly, and the feedback from the media and the audience was very gratifying, for Andy, those were just the atmosphere of the scene, especially at the Toronto Film Festival, where audiences tend to show in the screening hall. Incredibly enthusiastic, but after the viewing, no one will remember this work, let alone vote at the People's Choice Awards. The frenzy of the premiere is just an illusion, and the real contest begins with the critics.
Opening the official catalogue of the Toronto Film Festival, Andy quickly began to browse. Different from the scoring system of other film festivals, because Toronto does not select professional awards, it is only given to the audience to vote, so the media will not score, but only give comments. Whether it is a positive or negative comment, you must read it to understand.
There were only two movie premieres in total yesterday, "The Thief in the City" was the North American premiere, and "Buried Alive" was the world premiere. The official field magazine did not hesitate to leave the cover to the "robber in the city".
Andy didn't rush to turn it over, but looked at it roughly. Unexpectedly, Ben Affleck, who has been criticized countless times in his actor's career, has been unanimously praised for his work this time. The media are not stingy with their praise, believing that this work shows a rare wisdom and depth.
Just when everyone thought that Ben's acting career was going to rot into the quagmire, he killed a carbine in an ingenious way. Andy thinks that this is a very interesting thing, and the word-of-mouth trend of "The Thief in the City" is also more and more exciting - Toronto is only the first stop in North America, and the real North American comprehensive review still has to wait for the official release of the movie. , I only knew after the release.
Then, Andy opened the second page, and it was "Buried Alive". Andy was surprised again. He originally thought it would be great to give half a page at most to the official magazine, but he did not expect it to give a full page, and published professional comments from nine media—all the professional and authoritative media that can appear in the magazine. , and other media's comments can be found on the official website or the media's own webpage. Just from this small detail, it can be seen that the film festival officials still felt the success of the premiere yesterday.
"Renly Hall's one-man show lights up the big screen! Once again, it shows the unique and charming charm of the film."
The headlines of the reviews on Variety are prominent and clearly state their stance.
"A charming and cruel confined space survival film, which pushes thriller and suspense to one climax/climax after another within a limited space, and the real political meaning hidden behind the script has broadened the depth of the film, providing an opportunity for a Survival games give social meaning. Cortez's control over the rhythm and the creation of atmosphere once again let us feel the sharpness of his short film; this time, he is not the protagonist of the film, Hall is.
As a newcomer to the big screen for the first time, Hall delivers a deep and captivating, delicate and tense performance, oscillating between strength and fragility, despair and hope, pain and panic, and bursting out the difficult The energy of confidence has injected a new vitality into the film. Needless to say, the twenty-year-old actor made a stunning announcement.
It is worth mentioning that Hall had just won his first Emmy trophy for his debut feature just two weeks ago.
It's not a perfect movie, and the weak and jumbled script still cuts down on the depth of the core, but Hall's performance makes up for that flawlessly, delivering one of the most entertaining backroom movies since 'The Saw'. "
Praise, praise unreservedly, even if there is no rating, you can still see the respect and appreciation of "Variety" for "Buried Alive". As the most authoritative professional magazine in Hollywood, "Variety" is praised as "Buried Alive" The next journey Off to a good start, but that's not the only good news.
