“…you watch a movie in a state of irritability and exhaustion, what happens?”
Graham's words were extremely straightforward, and he directly expressed his concerns, and then William's stagnant brain finally turned again.
"Go straight to sleep?" William replied tentatively,
Graham nodded affirmatively. That's the most likely reaction to watching a normal movie or an esoteric movie, but "Crackling Drummer" is a little different. He has seen it at the Toronto Film Festival. Audiences who have overreacted are real, because the drumbeat of the film itself creates a dense and turbulent explosion, challenging the audience's nerves all the time.
"It's only a possibility, and it's the least threatening situation. The worst thing is that the audience's mood is also irritable, even angry, and then creates chaos during the viewing process, or completely disconnects from the entire film. The situation cannot be brought into it at all, and if so…”
"...I can't have any good impression of the movie at all." William finally reacted and took a lot of filming, but after realizing Graham's worries, a layer of cold sweat immediately appeared on his back, and his whole body was awake. The first thought was to deny, "Probably not?"
Graham frowned. "I don't know, it's just an idea. I watched the movie in Toronto, and I was very concerned about this situation."
William was silent for a moment, and then he remembered the source of Graham's entire topic, "Wait, you mean... someone is pushing it behind the scenes?" Otherwise, how could those scalpers still pursue them without profit. Reluctant to give up, "... No way?" William's first reaction was still denial of reality - the main reason was that his brain was too tired, and the whole reaction seemed single and monotonous, without too many layers.
This time, Graham didn't continue to affirm, but shook his head in confusion, "I don't know either. I'm just guessing."
What Graham didn't say is that he has worked in the independent publishing company for nearly a year and has a new understanding of the capabilities of the Weinstein brothers; although there is no evidence now, it is entirely his own intuition. It was a thousand miles away, but one thing was certain: even if it was a coincidence and there was no conspiracy, if the outcome he feared did appear, the Weinstein brothers would not easily miss it.
In Graham's view, "The Bursting Drummer" does have the ability to give it a shot during awards season, and Renly's performance does have the strength to once again top the Oscar. The Weinstein brothers will never ignore this fierce rival easily, not to mention, the recent ups and downs have also given him an opportunity.
Graham is indeed worried - this is also different this year from the past. They have entered the society, they have grown up, and the angle of thinking about problems has also changed, and the world outside the ivory tower is gradually opening. In addition to the resentment, they also saw more things.
For a moment, both William and Graham fell silent.
Then, it was Graham who came back first, patted William on the shoulder, and said casually, "This is just my own wild thoughts, maybe, there is nothing at all? It's just entertainment to death. It's just another carnival, there's no need to turn everything into a conspiracy."
William shook his head in denial, "...I need to cheer up."
"I'm just guessing." Graham regretted saying what he thought. Facing William, he always thought that everything was the same as before; but he forgot that after leaving the campus environment, he was changing. William is also changing, and they are no longer the children they used to be.
William cast a firm look at Graham and shook his head again, "Even if there is no conspiracy, even if it is just speculation, we need to cheer up. Graham, put aside those scalpers or conspiracies, why do we come to line up? What? We spent forty-eight hours waiting here, just hoping to enjoy the movie, right?"
This time, it was Graham's turn to be stunned, staring straight at William.
"Some things have changed, but some things haven't. Our love for movies and our support for the young master have never changed, haven't they? Not because of conspiracy, but for ourselves, we should enjoy movies seriously, This is an agreement between us and the young master." William said loudly.
Graham worries about the scalper's actions, but forgets his original intention: this is a night about movies, and it should be just about movies.
Even if the conspiracy is real, but they can fully enjoy the movie, then the conspiracy won't work. From start to finish, they should stick to being themselves.
Just like Renly.
Graham laughed dumbly, shook his head lightly, and shook his head again, as if he was sighing at William's purity, and seemed to be embarrassing his own complexities, but in the end, he raised his head and showed a big big smile towards William. Smile, "Yes, why do we queue for 48 hours just for a movie? Because, this is not just a movie. So, let's cheer up and enjoy this work!"
William clenched his fists heavily, "How are you, are you ready? Let's ignite the audience together! It's not just us, everyone should cheer up."
If... just if, there are conspiracies, let them defeat them with their actual actions!
"Hey! Aren't you ready to get excited?"
"After forty-eight hours of waiting, we finally get to see the 'Breaking Drummer'!"
"You must know that the netizens on the social network are now looking forward to standing in our position. There are not 10,000 or 8,000, and we refuse to exchange positions. Why?"
"For 'Boom Drummer'!"
"Guys! We're all very, very tired and waiting forty-eight hours is definitely not an easy task, but the problem is that we love what we're doing! We're willing to give it our passion and passion! Forty-eight hours, just A start! Next comes the real orgasm!"
"Everyone, let's be restless! Let the envy and jealous eyes of those netizens be restless!"
William and Graham were like hawkers in the street, tearing their voices, without planning or cooperation, they started to shout without thinking, fully shouting out the true feelings in their hearts. Shouting and shouting, the two of them felt absurd and funny, and couldn't help laughing, but they still raised their fists high, laughed happily, and danced wantonly.
The party has begun.
hoo hoo hoo!
hoo hoo hoo!
The hustle and bustle of the scene has gathered again, waiting and waiting for the end, and now they are finally about to usher in the shocking baptism of the movie, they must bathe and burn incense, and greet the "bursting drummer" with the highest level of attitude, not yawning and tired. Unbearably recuperating in the cinema.
This is their carnival!
"The 'Pop Drummer' party is about to start, and the whole world is dancing with me!"
Such a tweet appeared on Twitter, and the attached picture shows the noisy scene of the movie theater crowd shouting. The poster of "Boom Drummer" was placed in a bright position on the stage, showing the clues of the screening scene. This has sparked a new round of discussion frenzy.
"It's heart-wrenching. Imagine that while I was watching a cat video, I was in the mood for the whole night when the Twitter push notification sent such a bad news."
"I'm pretending that the whole world doesn't exist, there's no 'poppers' and there's no Renly Hall, please don't remind me of this hard truth?"
"There is no love for life. Because there is still no Seattle for next week's screening city, how did we offend Renly? How did we treat us like this?"
"One question: why is it a point release, not a public release? Does Sony Classic question the ability of Don Quixote to explode at the box office? Please all Don Quixote in North America collectively explode, let Sony Classic see our power and move forward quickly The movie has moved from the point release to the public release stage!"
"A rave party? This is a silent party, okay?"
"Heartbroken. Disconnect immediately."
With the birth of a tweet, the entire social network was once again fried, and all kinds of jokes emerged one after another. The active participation of netizens made the topic of "Boom Drummer" reach an unprecedented height, which is very important for an independent film. For movies, it should be the pinnacle of insurmountable.
There are even some netizens who have made animations of "Super Marines", including A Zheng jumping with Xiaohong on his back - replace Azheng with "Super Marines" and Xiaohong with "Boom Drummer" ; There is a moving picture of Dabai sticking the leaking skin with tape - replacing Dabai's face with a "popping drummer"... and so on, in order to express his strong dissatisfaction, but it created a heat wave of the emoji war, mighty Dangling echoed for a long time.
What really brought the craze to its peak was a tweet from William:
In the photo, a full eight people form a circle, and then everyone stretched out one of their hands and one foot, overlapping at the center of the circle, forming a perfect circle, and then shot from a high altitude Go down and create a wonderful shape. If that's all there is to it, nothing new, but the point is... Everyone has a "Boomstick" movie ticket in their hands, touching each other like Harry Potter's wands.
The side note is even more succinct, "'Whiplash'."
Hope-Baze expressed jealousy with his real name, and retweeted the tweet with a series of "ahhhh", no language needed, and the emotions such as excitement, annoyance, anger, excitement, etc. hidden in it were all vividly displayed, which also made many netizens. They all burst out: this is simply the pinnacle of jealousy.
From offline to online, the screening of "Boom Drummer" is detonating an unimaginable heat wave, while William and Graham temporarily "abandoned" the other friends because the movie is about to start.
