At the 35th Toronto Film Festival, the first work that was added to the audience was born hotly. It was an independent film that aroused the audience's strong curiosity in the form of a dark horse, "Buried Alive".
An unnamed movie was born, and it really surprised many people. This movie was hidden under the strong shadow of "robbers in the city", but it completed the counterattack with its excellent reputation. First, it created a grand occasion of more than 1,000 people queuing up, and many people in the industry were confused and unable to explain; then During the extra show, there was another peak queue of nearly 600 people, and more than 400 spectators were not able to buy movie tickets.
Now, the audience is dissatisfied: why can't they buy a movie ticket for the movie they want to see? Is it because there are too many viewers, or because there are too few official pomp
The audience raised their voices of protest, "Two shows are scheduled for '127 Hours' a day, and there are six shows to follow! But 'Buried Alive' has only four shows in total! It's not fair!" "Why do the movies we want to see are Can't you see it? Isn't the purpose of the Toronto Film Festival to promote more excellent films?" "Why did the organizing committee still not see the call of the audience when so many people lined up?"
Some people even complained, "The number of people in line for 'The Thief in the City' has been below 30 for two consecutive games, but now it is still a day, rain or shine, but the audience waiting to watch 'Buried Alive' will not even have a place to line up from tomorrow. It's gone!"
Before the screening of "Buried Alive" was over, the audience's voice for "Extra" sounded again. At the entrance of the main venue of the film festival, more than 500 spectators gathered and made a simple cheering card temporarily, "I want to watch 'Buried Alive'!" "Please don't bury 'Buried Alive'!" "Strongly request 'Buried Alive' to continue field!"…
The so-called cheering card is actually just writing the appeal with a carbon pen on a piece of A4 paper. It looks very simple, but it crowds the entire square in such a simple but effective way to the organizing committee. express their request. Simple, yet turbulent.
The audience who came and went all cast their curious gazes. Some people knew the ins and outs of things, but some people didn't have time to hear these gossips. Between word of mouth, things were further fermenting - especially when James was mentioned - The comparison between Franco and Renly Hall has detonated people's attention, after all, James is a long-established first-line star.
Originally, it was just a gimmick topic tinkered with by the gossip media, but I didn't expect it to become the headline of the day by accident. Many media officially compared "buried alive" and "127 hours" on the same scale.
At this time, US Weekly published some excerpts from Renly's interview on its official website - the full version cannot be read until the magazine is officially published, and it mentions Renly's full evaluation of "127 Hours", which is completely It can be called adding fuel to the fire, and suddenly all the media are excited.
The Toronto Star, Toronto's largest local newspaper with the largest circulation, directly took the headline "Renly Hall: James Franco's performance in '127 Hours' is too famous", and took a small part of the interview out of context. The clip, as a news headline, dropped a spark in the powder magazine, and things got out of control in an instant.
Some media believe that Renly is over-confident and arrogant, and that a mere first-tier rookie actually utters maddened words, not only commenting on "127 Hours", but also denying James's efforts in the film with an arrogant attitude. It just made me tremble with anger. Not only the following crimes, but also defiant and annoying. This move is completely malicious hype for the propaganda of "buried alive", which is disgusting.
Some media believe that Renly showed an absolutely strong attitude, bravely faced this informal competition, and his confident attitude showed the attitude of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. The Chicago Tribune compared Renly's provocative behavior to the unruly James Dean, arguing that the rookie actor recreated the star of the golden age - the question is, does Renly have that kind of power

Some media also believe that Renly told the truth. Read the full interview in Us Weekly and you can see that, as Renly said, the quality of the finished product of "127 Hours" is indeed better than that of "Buried Alive". At the same time, Renly has also won more performance space. In other words, Renly's acting skills are indeed more worthy of recognition, and he has also shown greater courage. The future of this newcomer is limitless, and "burying alive" is just the beginning.
There are even media reports on the theme of supporting the audience at the gate of the main venue. They said that the audience's support for "Buried Alive" is the best affirmation. Renly has successfully won the hearts and minds of the audience. The sound of adding field is the best proof. Purely from this point of view, "buried alive" is already ahead of "127 hours". Maybe "Buried Alive" is not an excellent work from a technical and professional point of view, but from the perspective of performance and audience, it is indeed impeccable.
Regardless of the media's opinion, it's undeniable that discussions about "Buried Alive" and "127 Hours," about Renly and James are in full swing, and even the "Black Swan" premiere has been snatched away Got a lot of buzz.
In comparison, the publicity resources of "127 Hours" are far from comparable to "Buried Alive". Now that the two works are put together for discussion, the exposure rate of "Buried Alive" has skyrocketed. The topic effect created, more and more lines of sight are projected on "Buried Alive".
This independent work is continuing to rise with an incredible attitude.
However, people in the industry are puzzled - how did "Buried Alive" make a way out of the Toronto Film Festival where there were almost no resources to support it; more importantly, "Buried Alive" Although the first reviews of the film are not bad, they are really not top-notch at the film festival. "Blue Valentine" and "127 Hours" are on par, the latter is even better, but why only "Buried Alive" detonated so much What about sound waves? It's definitely the funniest and rarest event at this year's festival. Now, not only the audience is curious, but even the curiosity and inquiry of the people in the industry are burning up. If they have not seen the movie, they have no right to speak, and there is no way to mix the excitement, right
After the fourth public screening of "Buried Alive" ended, the organizing committee arranged for the official second event in the industry. The seats were sold out, and even the media failed to get their seats, so they could only wait for tomorrow. The third - and final, industry field. Such a grand event, in addition to "Black Swan" and "Blue Valentine's Day", "Buried Alive" is the first time ever at this year's film festival.
The sound waves in front of the main venue were louder and louder one after another. Before the organizing committee could respond, the reporters couldn't wait to find the two parties and interviewed them as soon as possible.
James Franco was caught by reporters on the red carpet of the premiere of "Black Swan", "Haha, this should be a compliment to me?" James seemed to be in a good mood, "As an actor, participating in It's a joy in itself to receive so much discussion about my performance; it's even better that many of them have noticed my performance."
"I haven't watched 'Buried Alive' yet, but I've heard a lot of rumors from fellow actors, so I'm looking forward to going to the cinema to watch this work." James has a lot of experience dealing with the media, and always has a picture "However, I agree with what Renly said, as actors, we should serve the film, and the success of the work is our success. Being a part of '127 Hours' and being able to work with Danny Ball, this It was an unforgettable experience.”
Watching James playing Tai Chi, the reporters were naturally reluctant to let him go easily, and some people asked sharp questions, "So, who do you think is better than Renly's performance?"
James didn't panic at all, and laughed happily, "Since I haven't seen 'Buried Alive', I guess there's no other choice but myself, right?"
James always had a smile on his face, and his words were relaxed. He didn't seem to mind the controversy and confusion at all, and he exposed it lightly, much to the disappointment of the reporters, who thought James would be provoked and even scolded Renly. A fight can be expected. Unfortunately, the cunning James didn't give any chance at all, so the reporters took aim at Renly.
I have been interviewed by the media for two consecutive days. From group interviews to exclusive interviews, at least 70 media have completed the interviews. If I continue to see the tape recorder, Renly will vomit. But the reporter was still reluctant to let him go easily.
Renly managed to win some breathing room, ready to go out for dinner, and to take his eyes off the dullness of the hotel room, even just looking at the pedestrians on the street would be fine. But when he stepped out of the elevator, he was surrounded by reporters in the lobby of the hotel. More than 30 reporters surrounded Renly, with no space at all, and he was completely unable to move.
Renly felt like he was about to suffocate, "If I remember correctly, there should be other big events tonight, right? Could it be rescheduled?" Shouldn't all the reporters flock to the "Black Swan" premiere?
Renly's mockery made the reporters look at each other, but they would never let go of the little lamb in front of them easily, "Renly, I heard that you think your performance is better than James Franco, is that true? "The first question stabbed sharply, without showing any mercy.
Renly was originally a little irritable. After two consecutive days of interviews, he was really tired of dealing with reporters. Seeing these greedy eyes like hyenas hunting, he felt restless, but after hearing the question, he was stunned. , and immediately laughed. That teasing, sarcastic, bright smile fully bloomed.
For a while, the reporters were stunned.
