two million.

Ten million.
After the live broadcast link of Renly's Special Guest Symposium at the 30th Sundance Film Festival was released on YouTube, in less than fifteen minutes, the number of online viewers easily exceeded 10 million, and this Renly hasn't even made his official debut yet.
Fortunately, the audience did not wait too long. Less than five minutes later, Renly's figure appeared on the stage, announcing the official start of the symposium. This also caused a surge in the number of online viewers of the YouTube live broadcast. , and even caused the YouTube live broadcast line to experience freezes and lags.——
Even the YouTube officials are in a hurry. The live broadcast platform is still in the early testing stage, and the related situation is still unstable. Suddenly it is under such huge pressure, which also forces the YouTube to immediately invest manpower to solve the problem, and the side also Let people see the huge potential of live broadcast.
fifteen million.
Twenty million.
twenty-five million.
Thirty million.
When the number of online viewers exceeded 50 million, it had already caused a sensation on the entire social network. Major journalists and industry insiders all exclaimed "incredible" on their Twitter or Facebook, triggering an earthquake. A chain effect, even passers-by couldn't help but turn on the oil pipe.
The characteristics of the Internet age have been further pushed to the extreme after the birth of smartphones. Unlike TV or movies, which require a fixed carrier to spread, mobile phones can carry the online world with you, making watching and browsing anytime and anywhere a necessity. The audience has successfully broken the constraints of time and space, expanded the audience base countless times, and completely changed the traditional order of information dissemination and entertainment methods..
In particular, the "quick swipe" browsing method gives viewers more choices. They only need to swipe left or right and only need three seconds to make a choice among the huge ocean of information. The asymmetric transmission of information is gradually reversed. location, the audience begins to have more initiative in making choices.
Fast food culture has become increasingly "fast", and the speed of replacement has increased hundreds or even thousands of times..
Of course, the viewing figures of online platforms have also completely changed the rules of traditional viewing statistics. On YouTube, the number of clicks and views of a video is calculated in billions; on the photo wall, the number of likes of a photo is calculated in billions. It’s calculated in tens of millions; on Twitter, the number of retweets of a message is calculated in millions..
These data are already objective and established facts..
But today, YouTube live broadcast has once again subverted the traditional concept of viewership numbers..
2014At the moment of 2020, when top award ceremonies such as the Golden Globes, Oscars, and Grammys are all grappling with the overall decline in the number of viewers of TV programs, just as the number of viewers of the Oscars has dropped from 40 million to 30 million, Even when it was even lower, the YouTube live broadcast directly exploded to 50 million online viewers.！
What does 50 million viewers mean?？
To put it simply, you can use the Oscars as a reference standard..
The Oscars is a TV program with the highest annual ratings and viewers in the entire North American market, second only to the Super Bowl. It has always ranked second in the year-end ratings rankings. At its peak, the average number of Oscars viewers has always been stable at 40 million. , only twice in history has it exceeded the 50 million threshold.：
One was in 1983, when the Academy Awards ceremony was broadcast for the first time in history, when "Gandhi" topped the list of best pictures, with a total of 53 million viewers; the other time was in 1998, when "Titanic" topped the list. The best film event, the number of viewers that year reached 57 million, which is still an unsurpassable historical record..
In addition, you can compare the ratings of this year's Golden Globe Awards horizontally. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler's co-hosting was hailed as the best in the decade, with the number of viewers reaching 19.3 million, which was more than last year. Soaring by 30%, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association immediately announced that they would do their best to invite the two hosts to stay on..
Now, less than a week before the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, a symposium at Sundance has exploded with such strong ratings energy. Even though this is a miracle created based on an online platform, the level of shock is Still unabated, all people related to the film industry expressed exclamations and astonishment..
It's okay to even describe it as frightened..
The whole network is watching! This is definitely a real crowd watching！
In fact, the online audience watching online is very unstable, and they come and go very frequently. Some people just come to join in the fun, while others are never able to fully devote themselves. After staying for a while, they finally choose to exit the live broadcast. This also makes the number of viewers always fluctuating.
But overall, the numbers are still rising slowly and continuously: after breaking through 50 million, they are still rising.？
People no longer know how to express their opinions. Are they marveling at the infinite possibilities of online live broadcasts, or lamenting that Renly's powerful appeal still has no upper limit?？
No matter what, this symposium set off a storm on the Internet！
William: It’s smooth. It’s smooth..
William: What did the young master just say? Can't you watch it back? The question you just asked has not been answered yet..
Graham: Yes, detachment. We haven’t talked about detachment yet..
“Detachment, detachment." There were calls from the symposium, reminding Renly that there was no positive answer to the topic of "detachment" yet..
Renly couldn't help but laugh, "You actually still remember it. I'm a little surprised. I always thought that the movie 'Transcendence' should have the least number of viewers." After a moment of pause, "What was the question just now? After asking the question, Renly smiled and nodded, remembering the question, "'Detached' performance".”
“As I just said, Tony Kaye is a different director, which also makes the performance of 'Transcendence' different." Renly returned to the topic, "That performance experience is different from other works. It’s different. I still remember the scene where we first met Erica on the bus. We shot it over and over seventy times, just to capture the changes in emotional levels..”
The whole scene erupted with gasps..
Renly also chuckled, "Yes, Tony and I are torturing each other, struggling with the details of the performances over and over again. Sometimes, we don't even know what we are struggling with. Inadvertently It suddenly deviated from the original theme, just picking out details for the sake of picking out details. It was a very painful experience, and neither of us wanted to go through it again..”
“But this performance is incredibly special. We really get to see Henry's emotional changes that night. Looking back at that performance now, it is still one of the most delicate and difficult performances. I can't say that I loved it. It was an experience, believe me, that kind of torture was really terrible..." Renly's words were slightly interrupted by the laughter at the scene, and he chuckled himself, "But the gains from that experience are Huge. Later, when I performed Jean Valjean in the West End of London, I could also feel the difference in the details of emotional control..”
“Therefore, the point of view of the audience just now is correct. 'Detachment' does leave more room for aftertaste on the emotional level. It allows the audience to carry out their own interpretation and analysis, especially compared to 'Gravity'. But what we cannot ignore is that at the drama level, the positioning and goals of the two works are different. Of course, this is another story..”
Sensing the pause in Renly's words, another audience member began to raise their hands, and the next audience member asked a question that everyone was particularly curious about, "In the past year, you have appeared in two works, and these two The performances of both works have been well received. My question is, personally, from a technical perspective, which work do you like more?？”
If you strip away personal preferences and simply discuss acting skills, which one is better, "Gravity" or "The Ballad of Drunken Country"?？
“I refuse to answer this question." Renly said simply and neatly, leaving the audience and online netizens stunned. "This is obviously a trap question. You are more cunning than those reporters..”
Such a frank and forthright "accusation" instantly made everyone burst into laughter. There was even a collective wave of comments on the Internet, praising Renly's response..
“Is this being coquettish? Ha ha！”
“The young master acted rogue and the whole audience was confused.”
“He openly refused to answer questions. I can imagine the reporters swearing in their hearts..”
“What should I do? I suddenly want to know the answer..”
“Sure enough, the active young master looks good！”
“Like, like! witty answer！”
“I want to call the young master like crazy！”
From YouTube to Twitter, the full popularity of the symposium has once again pushed the popularity of the symposium to a new level. Renly, who has always been mysterious and low-key, has almost no chance to show his private side except for press conferences and talk shows. This also makes Renly more or less distant from the audience..
But today, through the live broadcast, the majority of netizens were able to see Renly's unique side, which immediately made the entire Internet excited..
“For such a difficult question, no matter what the answer is, I will obviously suffer a loss." Renly continued, "Well, since I have just spoken for so long, and today is a symposium, communication is the core purpose, then Now it's up to you to express your opinions and let's have a brainstorm, how about it? Is anyone willing to express some opinions on the question just now?？”
Suddenly, Renly changed from the keynote speaker to the host, and his style seemed a bit off..
