2073 Feet do not touch the ground
Renly drove from New Orleans to Cincinnati; but from Cincinnati to Los Angeles, due to the time and distance, a road trip was no longer suitable. Renly drove to the airport, took a plane back to Los Angeles, and quickly threw himself into the "Dwarfs" The final stage of filming for "Luo Ji World".
In the following period, Renly entered a busy period of accelerating, going all out, and flying around the world. It became compact again after the end of the summer promotion period..
“"Jurassic World" was successfully completed on the third day after the opening of the Venice Film Festival. All filming ended and it will then enter the post-production process. This also indicates that Universal Pictures' 2015 summer schedule is ready The horn has sounded, and if nothing else happens, this work will be the mainstay.
Of course, there's also "Fast and Furious"7”.
But Renly didn't even have time to attend the closing banquet. On the night when the filming was announced, he took a red-eye flight to the water city of Venice, preparing to attend the Venice Film Festival for the second consecutive year..
Unfortunately, this year it is still not the main competition unit, but the Horizon unit. The highly praised "Breaking Drummer" at the Sundance Film Festival at the beginning of the year came to Venice to participate in the screening. Compared with Cannes and Berlin, Renly She has not yet been shortlisted for the main competition in Venice, but has come to the water city twice to promote. This treatment can be said to give Venice enough face. Compared with Cannes and Berlin, it is indeed the only one. This also makes the Venice Film Festival Attracted countless eyes.
Although it is not the main competition unit, the "Renly-Hall" sign is prominent enough, and even the Horizon unit still becomes the absolute focus..
“On the day of the screening of "Blast Drummer", more than 400 journalists and 2,000 spectators came together, as well as a bustling crowd of onlookers. The noisy scene easily surpassed the film palace where the main competition unit is located, and took away the All in all, if the main committee had not wisely staggered the screening schedule of the Horizon section with the premiere of the main competition section, otherwise the works premiering today would have been in trouble..
This should be the first time in the history of the three major European film festivals that a non-main competition unit has won such crazy attention. It easily stole the attention of the Venice Film Festival and finally became popular on social network platforms. It seems that the glorious dawn of the peak period has been restored.
But for Alberto Barbera, it was pain and joy.
The Venice Film Festival has become a hot topic of discussion, which is a good thing. However, countless netizens have complained that "Gravity" was not allowed to enter the main competition last year, resulting in a loss of 100 million; this year, "Explosion Drummer" was not allowed to enter the main competition, and it is estimated that We will lose another 100 million. These two decisions are really... brain-wrenching. "If the selection of films in the main competition section continues to fail like this, I'm afraid Venice will never be better.".”
Indeed, the total discussion heat of all the works in the main competition unit cannot compete with one Renly, not even Jake Gyllenhaal, plus Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone and Edward Norton , it still doesn’t work - the deterrent and influence of the name "Renly Hall" is really too strong, and it is still a guarantee of popularity in the European market, even more popular than Leonardo DiCapri at his peak. Ao is slightly better.
But such a heated discussion happened in the Horizon Unit? Is this really good?？
When the 71st Venice Film Festival came to an end, audiences around the world were most impressed by "Crackling Drummer", but they did not remember that the American film "Birdman", which was a hit during the awards season, also landed in Venice, and they did not even remember that Regarding the direction of the Golden Lion Award, I don’t remember the works in the main competition section. Is this really good?？
Alberto was also full of bitterness. He himself was not sure. "Exploding Drummer" was not shortlisted for the main competition. In the end, Venice won or lost. What's even more sad is that, no matter whether he wins or loses, the decision-making power is never in his hands. He was helpless, or did he regret that he should have persisted a little longer and win a seat in the main competition for "Explosive Drummer"? Will the situation be different now?？
“"Breaking Drummer" was well received in Venice, and countless viewers expressed their regrets. This work failed to enter the main competition, which is actually Venice's loss. This is also Venice's biggest shortcoming: it is not as flexible as Cannes, and it is not as firm as Berlin. It has never been able to After finding my own position, I ended up falling into a position where I am neither up nor down..
By the way, Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, who are attending Venice with their respective works this time, also came to the Horizon Unit to support Renly, which also made "Explosive Drummer" create more topics; but all of this Everything has nothing to do with the main competition unit, which I have to say is a pity.
Next, Renly attended the premiere of "Nightcrawler" in the main competition unit, specifically to support his friend Jake Gyllenhaal. It was also the first film in which he served as a producer but did not star in it. It was also a Sisyphus film. The second work of the industry has attracted a lot of attention in all aspects.
Especially many independent film producers in the European market, they are also looking forward to the emergence of independent film production companies in North America that truly appreciate European artists - after all, North America still has relatively abundant funds, looking for investment, distribution, global promotion, etc. All aspects have certain advantages. If Sisyphus Films really has Renly as a guarantee, and not just in name, then there should be many independent producers and independent production companies in the European market who are willing to look for Sisyphus Films to cooperate..
Because of Renly's appearance, "Nightcrawler", which did not attract much attention before its departure, easily completed its counterattack and became the film with the highest media attendance, audience attendance, and post-screening discussion in this year's main competition, ranking first in attention. It’s so high that it can be said to be an unexpected surprise in Venice..
In the end, "Nightcrawler" also received countless praises. Many professional film critics said that the quality of the finished product and the style of the work exceeded expectations, and the social issues were also very interesting. Unfortunately, the dark and bloody style seems to be more suitable for Berlin. The possibility of winning a prize in Venice is obviously much smaller..
However, Jake Gyllenhaal received a lot of praise and was hailed as the best in his career since "Brokeback Mountain". His whole performance was completely different and really made everyone's eyes shine. It was so crazy and almost crazy. His performance makes people unable to recognize his true face. This is undoubtedly one of the biggest gains at this year's Venice Film Festival..
Countless film critics believe that Jake Gyllenhaal has the potential to become the best actor in Venice.
In addition, one thing that can be confirmed is that "Sisyphus Films has successfully fired the first shot!" Whether it is "Breaking Drummer" or "Nightcrawler", both of Renly's works as producer have achieved success. A win at the word-of-mouth level, this is undoubtedly a perfect start for Sisyphus Films.
It is foreseeable that Sisyphus Film will definitely occupy a place in this year's awards season. However, both works are dark and bloody, with slight overlap, but the themes and themes are different. The prospects for the awards season are still full of many The variable depends on how Sisyphus Films and Sony Classics carry out public relations for the academy..
Renly was not able to wait for the closing ceremony at the Venice Film Festival. The day after the premiere of "Nightcrawler", he flew straight back to the North American continent and arrived in Toronto to start the second round of promotions..
Since the beginning of the Sundance Film Festival at the beginning of the year, "Crackling Drummer" has been one of the most anticipated works. After experiencing the word-of-mouth baptism at the Venice Film Festival, the expectations continue to rise. Now that it has come to Toronto, there is no doubt that it It has become the first place in the audience’s expectations list..
In the end...it really lived up to expectations！
The brutal and paranoid story made many viewers exclaim, especially the scene of blood bursting, which caused screams; the dark and bloody character transformation triggered countless discussions after the screening, and the collision of values made People have a kind of spine-chilling fear and horror.
Some people like it, some resist it; some are enthusiastic about it, and some reject it. "Breaking Drummer" was not suitable for all ages, but it still sparked a movie-watching frenzy amidst controversy..
In terms of popularity, "Bangkong" may not be among the top three or even the top five; but in terms of popularity, "Bangkong" has deservedly become the top seed at this year's Toronto Film Festival - starting from that year's "Buried Alive" , Renly’s strong appeal in Toronto has only increased. This time, Renly’s super popularity is once again felt..
This time, Renly was also unable to wait for the closing ceremony at the Toronto Film Festival. After the premiere of "Crackling Drummer", Renly immediately returned to New York for some adjustments..
We cooperated with the New York Film Festival, accepted some exclusive interviews, and held a symposium to prepare for the upcoming arrival of "Crack Drummer" at the New York Film Festival. We only stayed for three days before Renly left again and returned. Continental Europe, back in London.
Renly's itinerary makes outsiders a little confused, because in the next period of time, the Telluride Film Festival, the New York Film Festival, etc. will be the focus of awards season promotion, while the London Film Festival will not open until the end of November. It seems unnecessary for Li to return to London early now..
Suddenly, people have almost forgotten that London is Renly's hometown. Because Renly lives in New York all year round, many people think that New York is Renly's home. In a way, this kind of This statement is actually correct. Now Renly does regard New York as his home; however, for some special reasons, he needs to stay in London for a while in order to protect his home..
So, Renly returned to London, temporarily putting the excitement of the North American awards season behind him, and resolutely returned to the British Isles..
