It was a grand and fanatical welcome. The team made people deeply aware of Renly’s popularity.！
You know, this is Toronto, not Venice.

Stars gathered！
A truly star-studded gathering, this continues Toronto's consistent strong performance in the past few years. It only takes ninety minutes to fly from New York to Toronto, which is undoubtedly much more convenient and simpler than crossing the Atlantic to Venice, even if it is Going from Los Angeles to Toronto is just as simple. The same work is screened in both Venice and Toronto. Top stars can miss Venice but will never miss Toronto. This is the difference..
For senior actors of a certain age like Judy Andy and Meryl Streep, the physical exertion of long-distance travel does not allow them to travel around at will. Under such circumstances, Toronto's advantages become more and more prominent. come out.
The craze of 1,500 pick-up teams took place under such a background. Against the backdrop of such a large number of superstars, Renly's strong appeal and high popularity were fully revealed. This year's Toronto Film Festival, Renly is the only actor to have an airport pick-up team, and the only actor to have an airport pick-up team of more than 1,000 people in the past ten years..
This is Renly's power now！
And this is just the beginning.
“"Gravity" is scheduled to officially premiere on September 12th, and it has deservedly become the most watched and anticipated work at this year's Toronto Film Festival..
Long before the opening of the Venice Film Festival, the popularity of this work has remained high due to Renly's strong appeal; and as Venice's rave reviews spread throughout social networks, expectations began to increase exponentially. grew, and continued to skyrocket like crazy with the arrival of Renly.
They have always been proud of the long queues at the Toronto Film Festival, because this is a film festival that belongs to the audience. Every audience member is willing to express their love and enthusiasm for the film with their own personal actions, and this year is even more true..
On September 10th, before midnight passed twelve o'clock, long queues began to form in front of the premiere cinema..
This is not unusual. To be more precise, this should be the norm during the Toronto Film Festival. You can see this scene every moment of every day; but then, this long queue evolved in an orderly and distinct manner. The most amazing thing about becoming two teams is that the fans of the two teams actually still talk to each other very happily.——
What's going on? Isn't the second long queue outside the queue cutting in? I crossed the tail of the first line and went directly to the front to start queuing. This is really rude.？
Curious fans walked to the front, and all their questions were answered. There was no need to ask, because there were already markings right in front of the two teams: the first long dragon on the inside was from "Gravity" There is a queue; and the second long queue outside, which started about four hours later, is the fans waiting for "Don Juan".
September 10th, the world premiere of "Don Juan"; September 11th, the North American premiere of "Gravity".
Simply put, this is the queue for two movies premiering on different dates..
“"Don Juan" has attracted much attention during the preparation stage. This is the second film in Joseph Gordon-Levitt's career as a director. Before that, he wrote, directed and starred in a film called "Sparks" in 2009. , but he failed to attract any attention at the time, but now he has become a new star after being paved by works such as "500 Days with Summer", "Inception", and "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" Representative of contemporary literary and artistic youth.
When Joseph began to prepare for his second directorial work, the media and movie fans paid a lot of attention, and Joseph also made full use of his network resources in the industry. He found Scarlett Johansson and Julianne Moore as the two leading women. The protagonist's position also includes Brie-Larson, who is currently unknown.）——
In fact, Bree has already demonstrated her acting talent and ability in this year's "Juvenile Asylum" starring in "Juvenile Asylum". This is also an independent film that Renly personally likes very much. Later, in 2015, she starred in the movie " Room" shocked everyone with her skills and won the Oscar for Best Actress the following year..
“After "Don Juan" confirmed that the Toronto Film Festival will be the venue for its world premiere, all movie fans are eagerly looking forward to the sparks between the two extremely popular actors Joseph and Scarlett..
Now, the movie is about to officially premiere. Naturally, no one wants to miss it. They come to line up as soon as possible, hoping to see the movie first before the premiere - this is an audience event, not a media event, but it can be done before the premiere. Other fans have seen this movie before, which is a happy thing in itself.
But even the audience of "Don Juan" was still not able to "defeat" the audience of "Gravity". When they felt the scene in the cinema for the first time, they found that "Gravity", which will have its premiere tomorrow, was too late. It has already attracted more than a hundred spectators and started the long march of queuing..
This... is really amazing！
What's even more incredible is that as time goes by, the queue of viewers for "Gravity" has begun to circle along the blocks and buildings in a mighty manner. At least 800 viewers have arrived 20 years in advance for this movie. They queued up four hours ago, and their number was more than twice that of the "Don Juan" team. This has had a serious impact on the maintenance of order on site..
It’s not that there was chaos in the on-site teams. In fact, the order of the two queuing teams was very friendly and harmonious. They maintained their own teams in an orderly and well-proportioned manner. If there was a mistake or confusion, everyone would take the initiative to help maintain order. There was no Crowding or stampede accidents occur.
But the problem is that the queue is too long, and tickets for the premiere are limited..
The organizers of the Toronto Film Festival had to send staff to the scene to try to convince the audience that there was no need to continue queuing because the screening hall could not accommodate any more audiences. They were now staying here and waiting hard. It's just a futile effort, but it may lead to unexpected physical discomfort..
The film festival officially promised that they will increase the number of screenings of "Gravity", including IMAX screenings, to meet the audience's viewing needs as much as possible; but now, they hope that the audience will not continue to come and line up for the premiere, and everything will continue as usual. Good health is the most important thing.
But...to no avail. The organizer's promise still failed to shake the audience's enthusiasm. One after another, the queue continued to increase. Even though everyone knew that they could not enter the screening room, they were still unwilling to give up..
After Renly arrived in Toronto, he learned about such a grand occasion. He went to the scene immediately and had close contact with the audience. While expressing his gratitude, he also discouraged everyone from queuing blindly, otherwise there would be a health accident, which would definitely be more costly than gain. , “I’m also looking forward to good box office results after the movie is officially released in Canada..”
Renly's appearance undoubtedly triggered a frenzy of cheers at the scene. Whether it was the audience queuing up for "Gravity" or the queuing audience for "Don Juan", he completed the fan benefits at the scene, took pictures and It was an autograph, a hug, and a handshake. He even said jokingly, "I sacrificed my time to watch movies and came here specifically. If you don't appreciate it, I will be too sad.".”
A small number of the audience did obediently turn around and leave, and the traffic jam around the cinema was temporarily relieved. However, not long after, the enthusiastic fans who heard about Renly's appearance appeared again like a tide, and their number doubled. It’s rising exponentially. No one wants to miss it.
