When the "Booming Drummer" ended, the first reaction in my mind was shock. The shock at the visual and auditory levels made the brain fall into a short-term blank and lost the ability to think; but after gradually recovering, the shocking straight line was stripped away. The effect, the aftertaste of reflection bursts out little by little:
Why the shock? Just because of the drumbeat? Is it just for the show? Just because of the confrontation between Fletcher and Andrew? If not, what is the deeper meaning? Where did the lingering rhyme and reflection in my mind come from and what does it mean
Is the brilliance of this film only at the first level, or can it be further explored and excavated
At this moment, the first audience question raised a lot of weight, but did not expect a stone to stir up a thousand waves, and the treasure was dug out from Damien and Renly's answers, just like carefully knocking on a shell A corner of the , and then the pearl brilliance in it has leaked out, making people tremble with excitement.
The whole artistic creation and the sublimated ideological core are connected by a clue of murder/father, the plot and the characters in the story become clear immediately, and then I can't help but start to chew on the details of the plot again, and even on the details of the actors' performances.
This is a "chewy" work.
"These are all the creative ideas of Renly." In the contemplative gaze of the audience, Damien took the initiative to say, and even Renly cast his eyes in surprise, although "Father/Father" was indeed his Idea, but the main line and core of the story are Damien's creation, "During the process of writing the script, I was able to capture a core concept vaguely, but not clear enough, I knew what I was doing, but still needed a little bit Inspiration, to make that inspiration concrete. After Renly came up with the idea, everything became clear.”
All eyes turned to Renly again: any praise for this actor would not seem to be too exaggerated.
Renly couldn't help laughing. He must admit that praise can always make people happy, but over time can make people arrogant. Even if he has two lives, he will inevitably start to swell. It's definitely not an easy thing to keep your feet on the ground. His eyes flashed slightly, "Huh, the balloon is about to explode."
A little joking made fun of himself, and then Renly added, "Damien, we won't be participating in this year's awards season."
The subtext is: these public relations rhetoric is more appropriate to stay next year; in other words, the public relations rhetoric of the awards season is always polite and alienated, sought after for the sake of being sought after, without the slightest sense of authenticity.
The words are spoken by Renly, and the understanding is the freedom of the audience.
The audience burst into low laughter again.
"Damien, why don't you think about me? I think I'm still worth looking at." Simmons also interjected a rare joke, and the laughter at the scene became more and more turbulent, and even a few can be heard. With a whistle, the atmosphere in the theater was relaxed and active again.
Damien himself couldn't help laughing.
Without waiting for the crew to continue the questioning session, the audience at the scene couldn't wait to raise their right hand again, and the enthusiasm for questioning continued to spurt out like a hot spring, pushing the atmosphere of the premiere to another high/ tide.

The first question opened the chat box, and then the questions gathered in the audience. There was no end in sight at all. The question-and-answer session that was originally scheduled for 30 minutes ended up being nearly 90 minutes, but it was still delayed. At the end, the audience was really too enthusiastic. The point is that Damien, Simmons and Renly also enjoyed it all the time, and the heated discussion was no less enthusiastic than the symposium.
If it wasn't for Robert Redford taking the initiative to take the stage and cut off the questioning forcefully with the sentence "Leave a little work for the reporters", this would have drawn a successful conclusion to the hot premiere, otherwise the event would have been endless. continue.
The inside of the premiere was extremely noisy, but the reporters and fans in the outside of the screening hall suffered a lot. They all gathered at the door, waiting and waiting, waiting and waiting, but they could never see the premiere. At the end of the show, the anxious and unbearable emotions have gone through the vicissitudes of life to calm down, turbulent, turbulent and calm, ups and downs a few times, and then the torment finally ends.
"How about it?"
This is the question mark in almost everyone's mind.
Since the official confirmation of "Boom Drummer", because this is Renly's first work as a producer, the hustle and bustle of the hot focus has never cooled down. Different from the lively shooting crew of commercial films, reporters and fans are always surrounded by reporters and fans, and social media Photos and videos are always released together, and the attention of independent films is more of an expectation of a big explosion, an anticipation of a stumble before the horse, and the response after the work comes out.
As Renly's popularity gradually rises, Renly's popularity gradually explodes, and Renly's word of mouth gradually accumulates, "Crack Drummer" deserves to be the No. 1 topic and No. 1 expectation at Sundance this year. Whether they came to Park City, almost everyone is curious:
How is this work
Now that the mystery is finally revealed, how could the audience not be excited
"The biggest expectation in 2014."
"I can't describe it, but I know that I will regret it if I miss it."
"Hat off!"
"I hated the movie, and I loved it. I think I must be insane by now."
"Best Show of the Year!"
"Brainstorming! There are so many thoughts in my head right now, I need to sort them out."
"Renly did it! Renly really did it! Breaking through himself again! Can you imagine it? I'm starting to strongly doubt my own judgment now. Is there anything he can't accomplish?"
"I know I know, it's a cliché, but... God, even if I hate it myself, the truth is, Renly had the best career! Unsurpassable pinnacle!"
"I don't know. I'm very confused right now, but one thing is certain, I can only make a judgment if I go into the cinema and watch it myself."
"Wow! That's all I can think of right now about Renly."
One question, a thousand answers.
On the square at the entrance of the entire cinema, there is a scene dedicated to the film festival: countless fans, as well as film practitioners such as directors and actors, stand in the ice and snow, and can't wait to share their own stories. Ideas, debates, exchanges, discussions, or discussions, all kinds of ideas spewed out, interweaving a unique picture of heat on the snow-capped streets, becoming the most beautiful footnote of the Sundance Film Festival.
There is no need to wait for media feedback at all. The audience's response at the premiere is the best comment, which also makes the movie's expectations blow out again, even more turbulent than the heat before the premiere, climbing to a new height, but holy Danse's liveliness has once again triggered a reverse effect on the social network.
Don't forget, one of the ideas that runs through the awards season this year is that it's political correctness to go against Renly.
As an independent film festival, Sundance has a specific group of participants and followers. Their ideas and opinions are often difficult to shake mainstream thinking. What's more, audiences who have not participated in the symposium in person and have not watched the "Boom Drummer" live ', viewers who haven't had close contact with Renly... It's understandable to be dissatisfied with the status quo.
"To be honest, which of Renly's works is not an annual expectation? It's boring! Now, journalists, apart from chasing Renly's stinky feet, can they have something new? Shout out, that's the news, okay? What's the annual expectation? I don't like 'Drunken Country Ballad', it's ugly. #sayno to renly"
"It's the same, I strongly suspect that the reporters have been bribed. The Hollywood News is disgusting. Are all the actors dead except for Renly? #sayno to renly"
"Yes, yes, I know that Renly is very good; yes, yes, I know that Renly has a new work; yes, yes, I know this is absolutely not to be missed. But! I! No! Care! Don't brush again. Screen, okay? I ask you guys! I just get nauseated when I see Renly-Hall's name now! And I have no plans to lose weight. #sayno to renly-hall"
The Sundance Film Festival is in full swing, but a group of anti-Renly hashtags have appeared on the social network platform, "Say no to Renly", which appeared in less than three days. The frequency has already exceeded 100,000, and it has entered the global trending topic list.
In this regard, Andy Rogers commented, "The second phase of the academy PR has been opened."
If it is said that there is no Academy PR behind the awards season, no one will believe it; but the reality is that the strong pursuit of Renly in North America has indeed experienced a violent rebound, at the symposium and the premiere of "Boom Drummer" Before, Sundance could also feel this atmosphere.
It can be said that jealousy can be said that it can be said to be jealous, it can be said that it is too late, or that there is a lot of popularity, but no matter what, this is a matter that has no solution and does not need a solution. Time and facts will prove everything, and what belongs to Renly will still come. , those who did not belong to Renly could not stay after all.
The hashtag "Say No to Renly" quickly became popular. In addition to the competitors who fueled the flames, the main reason is that "Boom Drummer" and the Sundance Film Festival have now stood on the cusp of the symposium. After that, all eyes naturally focused on the movie.
Aside from the rejection and resistance of some netizens, a movie is still a movie after all, whether it is good or bad, it still needs to be judged by professional film critics, or it needs to be judged by the general public. The market is quietly waiting for Bole who can understand and appreciate himself.
Some can wait, some take time, and some stay dusty forever.
Luckily, Burst Drummer doesn't have to wait.
