1512 precious memories
“The premiere of "Gravity" is undoubtedly a heavyweight. Before the release of "The Hunger Games 2", this was the absolute focus of heated discussions in the entire market. Even in the summer season, the premiere is also very important, and even more What's more, in the cold autumn weather, everything seems even more bizarre..
There is no doubt that this has become the most topical and sensational premiere in the autumn season of film history. No one can surpass it. Even ten years later, there is still no film premiere that can create such a buzz. Effect.
Mainly because of the schedule, not to mention the deserted temperament of the autumn season itself, most of the films have been baptized by multiple film festivals such as Venice, Toronto, Telluride and New York. In other words, they are works of art during the awards season. ; And October is still the warm-up period for the awards season, and the real highlight has not yet appeared. As time goes by, the enthusiasm of the audience will naturally be relatively low..
Against this background, "Gravity", a work that combines both commercial and artistic qualities, has received rave reviews at major film festivals, but has always been given the qualities of a movie like "Avatar", and has become a popular film in the film industry. With Renly's blessing, he made a shining debut, and thus created the miracle of this grand premiere..
First of all, the huge number of spectators present, with more than 5,000 spectators present, is a premiere miracle that cannot be surpassed or replicated..
The second is the level and number of guests present. The attendance of many first-line actors is only the first step. The appearance of directors led by the Coen brothers, Steve Spielberg, and Christopher Nolan is the second step. The third step is that two tit-for-tat bosses, Kevin Tsujihara and Thomas Tull, also attended..
From scale to quality, 'Gravity' premiere sets a bar that's impossible to surpass！
That night, the Alice Tully Hall, which can accommodate 1,095 spectators, was packed with seats, and other spectators who could not enter the screening hall still did not leave, waiting hard on the square of Lincoln Center. Waiting for the opportunity to watch the first midnight movie today, and also waiting for the carnival after the audience leaves..
According to the "Us Weekly" report, only fifty press seats were opened for applications at the premiere. This was Renly's idea.——
Because in the previous three film festivals, reporters have already appreciated this work and interviewed many questions. Now they have no need to compete for seats. The extra seats can be reserved for more audiences; and for the premiere The interactive session after the show was also changed to a communication between the crew and the audience, without the reporter interview part..
Faced with such rhetoric, reporters expressed strong protests, but in the end they were unable to change the crew's mind..
Rumor has it that Kevin Tsujihara tried to interfere, but somehow he finally nodded in agreement. Some people said that it was Renly who persuaded Kevin, and the two had a small conflict, but... this kind of The statement had no basis or evidence, so it was dismissed..
Stronger than others.
Although the reporters were complaining that this must be Renly's revenge for the neglect and neglect during the previous period, they were also dumb now. A small number of reporters left the venue angrily, saying "die" without any sign of weakness. Fight to the end”; but more reporters still chose to compromise..
After all the audience came and took their seats, the reporters applied to enter the screening room. They didn’t mind sitting in the aisle, nor did they mind taking the lead after the show. They just wanted to enjoy the movie with the audience and be the first at the scene. Time to personally experience the actual feeling of watching the wave of movies.
After discussion, Warner Bros. agreed to the request, and two hundred other reporters were eventually able to enter Alice Tully Hall for the premiere screening of the film..
This move is really... not very polite..
Because Lincoln Center has always been a place for appreciating elegant art, keeping corridors clear and tidy is not only the so-called basic etiquette, but also respect for safety measures - if an accident occurs, the audience must be able to reach the safe exit smoothly. And now that the aisle is crowded with spectators, this is definitely not the right way to open it..
Because of this incident, after communicating with Alfonso, Renly personally found Warner Bros.'s publicity team, but this time they failed to gain the upper hand. The reporters finally entered the venue, and the premiere went ahead after all..
Rumor has it that after the premiere, Renly personally found the middle-level managers of the publicity team who made the decision, and expressed his strong dissatisfaction and condemnation directly and directly. The scene was not pretty; but the other party did not make a big deal out of it. Instead, he withstood all of Renly's anger with a calm attitude..
reason？
No one knows the reason, but some people speculate that Kevin Tsujihara personally gave the nod to reporters’ entry. But in order to avoid a direct confrontation between Renly and Kevin, the publicity team swallowed the bitter pill and took the blame. Memorize it to the end.
rumors rumors rumors.
All the above-mentioned things are rumors. No one has seen it with their own eyes, and no one has obtained evidence. Renly and Warner Bros. have never mentioned it; reporters only smell some clues from gossips. However, when they wanted to dig deeper, all the sources shut up - and things became even more suspicious..
Rumors in the industry will never stop. Some things may stay in the rumor stage forever. Some things may be revealed sooner or later like old memories. Some things have been confirmed and misunderstandings have been resolved. But all of this needs to be verified. The only thing that can be done now is What’s certain is that the premiere of “Gravity” was an incredibly successful.
After the movie screening, the applause lasted for ten minutes, and everyone stood up to give thunderous applause. The vigorous cheers set off a stormy sea, creating a destructive effect comparable to that of a hurricane, which destroyed the previous three film festivals. The favorable reputation has been successfully continued..
The movie fans and audiences waiting outside the screening room even cheered and celebrated it. It was like a grand party. In the frenzy of applause, they sang and danced wantonly, spreading the movie's story from word of mouth. Excellent word-of-mouth has spread again, and more importantly, they will soon be able to enjoy the movie in theaters！
this is not all.
“After the screening part of the premiere of "Gravity", Renly held a small fan meeting. This was a temporary fan meeting, mainly because Renly wanted to thank the Quixotes for their support at the premiere. During the screening, relevant arrangements were completed through Andy.
No ticket sales, no publicity, last-minute decisions, unexpected situations. Everything is like a summer rainstorm, coming without warning and fleeting before it gets out of control..
About eight hundred Quixotes were able to enter Alys Tully Hall and have close contact with Renly..
Having said that, in fact, Renly did not arrange any special projects. He just moved a chair and sat in the center of the stage to talk and communicate with the Don Quixotes. There was no host, no special activities, only a lamp. Lights and a chair, but Renly was in total control.
He mentioned the two works "Drunken Country Ballad" and "Gravity", mentioned the "Breaking Drummer" that had just finished filming, mentioned the interesting things during the filming of "Pacific War" and "Buried Alive", and mentioned his love for drama and music. Some opinions and some interesting things about EGOT in front of and behind the scenes.
He mentioned some of his attempts after choosing to become an actor, mentioned his work plans and work arrangements for the next period of time, and also mentioned friends such as Paul and Tom who still stayed at the scene without leaving, and even performed live some Shakespeare passages.
To put it simply, it is a one-person talk show. There is not much to hide and not too much pleasantries. It is pure and sincere..
But for the Don Quixotes, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This is not a talk show or a magazine interview. Leaving the spotlight, leaving the camera, leaving reporters and media, and leaving all the glamorous packages, Renly Just sitting in front of you simply and unpretentiously, talking quietly, allowing everyone to get a glimpse of the most real Renly.——
Not the appearance revealed by those interview fragments, but the complete Renly Hall.
The entire conversation lasted just thirty minutes, with questions, dialogues, and monologues. There was constant laughter, but time passed extremely quickly. It seemed that the good time came to an end before I had time to immerse myself in it, but it became the heart of all eight people present. An indelible and irreplaceable memory of hundreds of Don Quixotes.
At the end of the impromptu meeting, some people even couldn't wait to suggest that Renly should take the leading role in a one-man drama stage performance. Even if it is in today's mode, it doesn't matter. They are willing to sit in the theater and quietly enjoy the three scenes. hours of wonderful time.
In response, Renly responded, "God, thirty minutes have already made me miserable. Three hours? My psychiatrist and I don't want to talk for that long..”
The whole audience burst into laughter，
Regarding the conversation at this meeting, reporters have been asking around, hoping to explore more of Renly's secrets. Unfortunately, they failed. The Don Quixotes refused to discuss too much with reporters, even if They only mentioned a few words on social networks, and those contents have become their own precious memories.——
This is the secret between Don Quixote.
No matter what, the premiere of "Gravity" has set a benchmark that cannot be surpassed, not just in the autumn season, but in any season throughout the year. Many topics overwhelmed the crowd, and the wave of heated discussions was even greater. There are so many layers that can’t be stopped, and all signs seem to be hinting that people can have higher expectations for the box office..
