1495 grand success
“When the project of "Gravity" was officially launched, the media's attitude was still relatively reserved. On the one hand, they were looking forward to the sparks that would come out of the collision between Renly and Alfonso; on the other hand, they were puzzled that art science fiction movies were gradually missing. market - "2001: A Space Odyssey" suffered a disastrous box office failure when it was released, and "Blade Runner" was not rehabilitated until twenty years later. So, why is "Gravity" an exception?？
After experiencing the regret of missing Cannes and the controversy of missing the main competition in Venice, the quality of the finished product of "Gravity" has always been in a state of expectation and full of variables..
Now, the film's world premiere is over and the mystery is finally revealed.
Alfonso Cuaron, Renly Hall, Rooney Mara.
When the three main creatives stepped onto the stage, the entire audience stood up and gave them the highest tribute..
As a cinematic artwork, is "Gravity" perfect? Different people have different opinions, and obviously it still has its own shortcomings; but as a commercial movie, "Gravity" has reached the pinnacle in many aspects such as visual effects, artistic attainments, philosophical sublimation, rhythm control, and climax brewing. Comparable to the shock brought by "Batman: The Dark Knight", it has found a delicate balance between business and art, and is even better in terms of movie-watching experience..
An excellent director met a group of excellent actors, relied on an excellent script, and made a historic breakthrough in visual special effects and movie viewing experience. Sparks burst out with the correct chemical reaction equation, and then, a A classic masterpiece that has gone down in history was born..
stand up and salute.
The exciting excitement and excitement are always surging. Even if twenty minutes have passed since the movie ended, the surging emotions still show no sign of calming down..
Host Pascal-Leider faced the grand occasion of the audience standing up, with a smile on his face. With such an opening, can you ask for more from the film festival? But before Pascal could speak, there was a voice rushing from the side, which surprised the entire audience. They turned their heads and saw Alfonso, who had always been low-key and reserved, speaking..
“Before officially starting the post-screening interview, I sincerely hope that I can express my respect here." Alfonso's voice was slightly tight, and his unhurried words also revealed his inner discomfort, but He continued speaking firmly, turned around and motioned to his side, "Renly Hall, I need to express my highest respect here..”
Renly, who didn't understand why, couldn't help but burst into laughter..
“It is because of this great actor that we are able to see the complete finished product today. During the filming process, Renly's understanding of the character and plot sparked a lot of inspiration, which made creating this film a pleasant experience. Just watching the finished product in the screening room with everyone in the audience, my only thought is: Thank God, Renly played the role of Ryan.”
Alfonso sighed softly, and then applauded Renly..
The audience applauded once again！
Renly, who instantly became the center of attention, showed a helpless smile towards Alfonso, but he did not decline humbly, otherwise it would become a mutual exaggeration party. Instead, he slightly spread his arms, and a little bit Helpless, but calmly accepted Alfonso’s praise and praise.
Pascal took advantage of the situation and said, "Great, you just used the word great, do you think Renly is a great actor?"？”
“Yes." Alfonso responded without any hesitation, and responded in the affirmative simply and neatly, "I believe that every audience will have their own feelings after watching this movie. Renly is Ryan. The character injects more depth of meaning that is left for the audience to savor. Without Renly, the film wouldn't be what it is now.”
“Wow, I was caught off guard. How come I didn’t know there was a tribute to the Lifetime Achievement Award today? "Renly finally interrupted, because the interview was gradually going off the original track, and he had to get things back on the right track, "I know, I know, I am a good actor, but now because of this incident, The media and the audience have begun to dislike me. For the sake of the film's box office prospects, we try to keep a low profile..”
His understatement revealed a confident and cheerful temperament, and he inadvertently made fun of the change in the North American media trend after EGOT, and the audience immediately burst into laughter..
Pascal cleverly skipped Renly and looked at Rooney, "So, what do you think? Do you agree with Alfonso's idea?？”
“I won't use the adjective 'great', because it sounds really unattainable. I am still looking forward to working with Renly on the same stage again in the future." Rooney joked lightly, looking casually The ground slid across Renly's face, and a faint smile rolled over, "But it is undeniable that Renly is an excellent actor..”
“I still remember that on the first day we entered the crew, Renly slowly began to adjust his state, speculating on the difficulties that Ryan Stone would face in a desperate situation. For him, Ryan Stone Not just the character shown in the ninety-one-minute movie, but a real, living, independent individual, a man with a past and a present..”
“It's a very, very difficult thing to do, with this idea in mind, when watching the movie, to capture those little details of Renly's performance, which, as Alfonso said, have a central to the theme of the movie. Influence.”
Rooney was expressing her opinions seriously, and then she noticed Renly's gaze. She tried to ignore the scorching gaze, but Renly never moved away. This made Rooney unable to continue pretending. , turned his head helplessly, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?？”
“No, no, no. I'm just worried about what to do with my next work. If I slack off a little bit, the director will settle the score with me? "Renly expressed his concerns solemnly, causing the audience to laugh again, "We can stop talking about how dedicated and outstanding I am. Doesn't anyone want to talk about this movie?？”
Thanks to Renly's reminder and guidance, the interview rhythm on site finally got back on track..
“Alfonso, I heard before that in order to invite Renly to star in this production, you personally went to the West End of London and issued the invitation face to face. Is this true? Does this mean that you were already optimistic about Renly before working with him? "Pascal still showed his hosting skills and continued the interview following the topic of discussion just now..
Afterwards, they talked about the shooting concept, anecdotes about cooperation, the core of the theme, the shooting problems, and so on. Alfonso, Renly and Rooney did not miss a word. I started talking word by word, further uncovering the secrets behind the production of "Gravity".
Immediately afterwards, they also accepted questions from the audience.
As you came and went, the forty-five-minute post-screening interview session came to an end, and Pascal had to remind him that the next question would be the last question..
The questioner was still selected from the audience. As soon as Pascal finished speaking, nearly one-third of the audience raised their arms in a flurry, like a dense forest spreading out. Even though the question and interview had already After forty-five minutes, the audience’s enthusiasm still hasn’t calmed down..
“Renly, may I ask, what is the real theme of this movie for you personally? Or, what do you think this time of space survival means to Ryan? Just life? Or maybe it's just family？”
One of the important criteria for measuring the quality of a film festival is, in addition to the film list of the main competition unit, the level of audience questions. In this aspect, the three major European film festivals still maintain their leading position, compared with Toronto and Telluride. , Sundance are even better, this is also a kind of foundation.
The last question seems simple but is actually profound. It is obviously because this audience has a certain understanding of "gravity" and then has a deeper thinking..
Renly expressed his appreciation from the bottom of his heart, "Purely from the story and plot point of view, this is a movie about transformation, rebirth and the birth of life; but from the character point of view, I think this is a story about existentialism..”
“For some people, family and bonds are the meaning of life; for some people, dreams and freedom are the reason why life shines, and there are even more possibilities. From a philosophical perspective, this It's a proposition about existentialism.”
“Therefore, every audience can interpret this movie from their own perspective. But the specific choice of how to interpret it is left to each audience to think about. Our job is to present it. This is what I think Why Alfonso’s work is admirable.”
It is precisely because this is a film festival that Renly discussed such a profound and obscure topic. As for the subsequent film promotion process, Warner Bros. will definitely not want Renly to discuss such complicated topics, which will not be good for box office results..
Despite the reluctance to leave, despite the impassioned emotions, and despite the unfulfilled feelings, the world premiere of "Gravity" and the opening ceremony of the Venice Film Festival finally came to an end..
After the on-site question and answer session, the three main creative staff still could not leave. The reporters surrounded them and continued the face-to-face interview for more than thirty minutes. Only then did they officially declare that today's premiere was over; but one after another The reporters and audiences who left the cinema screening room still had not calmed down. The uproar of excitement and excitement early foreshadowed the subsequent wave of praise..
