2247 angle of entry
Because overseas markets purchase and distribute copyrights sooner or later, this also makes the release schedule of "Breaking Drummer" in overseas markets completely irregular. Intermittently, the film's release cycle lasted for a full year, waiting for the awards the following year. When the season was announced, the movie was still not completely offline in overseas markets..
“Over a long period of time, "Explosive Drummer" has made its debut all over the world, constantly breaking its own records. Because the release line was too long, and the data accumulation speed was relatively slow, the media popularity gradually began to decline, and finally there was no media anymore. Paying too much attention to it, I seem to have forgotten that there is another award season film that is still being released in theaters..
It was not until early September 2015 that "U.S. Weekly" officially reported that the overseas box office of "Crackling Drummer" successfully exceeded 150 million US dollars. This reawakened people's memories, and words of exclamation and praise once again became loud and noisy. , bringing this movie into the public eye again：
This work really sparked a lot of discussion at the end of last year, and it is still vivid in my mind. Unexpectedly, overseas audiences also have the same tacit understanding with them. Sure enough, good movies can always resonate with culture, nation, class, etc. There is no direct relationship. The real test is an innocent heart that is willing to embrace art and enjoy it..
This is obviously an unexpected surprise！
“The overseas box office data of "Breaking Drummer" was finally fixed at 177 million U.S. dollars. It not only broke through the 100 million threshold in one go, but also far exceeded the standard. Although it failed to further achieve the breakthrough of 200 million U.S. dollars, it is still worthy of celebration..
This work, which cost only three million US dollars to produce, was completely ignored during the conception stage. Even though Damien Chazelle specially produced a short film and won praise at Sundance to promote it, there was still no one. Being able to attract film companies willing to invest also forced Damien to wait outside the Sunset Tower Hotel, and then he waited for Renly; but now, the film has openly swept 365 million worldwide The U.S. dollar has become the work with the highest return on investment in 2014..
This is a miracle and a feat that once again proves Renly's unique artistic vision; coupled with the high praise of "Nightcrawler", Sisyphus Films can easily attract more and more attention, regardless of Andre Play it or not, but as long as Renly is in charge of this company, it means that no one can underestimate it..
Do you still remember what the news media said when "Crackling Drummer" was fully expanded in the first week of January 2015?：
Although he is crazy, as long as it is Renly, everything is going smoothly..
The same words now apply to Sisyphus Films.
The focus returns to "Exploding Drummer". There are 188 million in North America and 177 million overseas. The global momentum easily exceeds last year's "Drunken Country Folk", and it has gained more among the general public. Support and love, successfully escape the stereotype of "highbrow and low-key", and fully enter the public eye.
This has also become the biggest bargaining chip for "Crackling Drummer" to disrupt the awards season: facing the box office explosion of "American Sniper", it will not be inferior; facing the public relations momentum of "The Imitation Game" and "Birdman", it will not fall behind; similarly , facing the word-of-mouth frenzy of "Boyhood"; keeping pace... This seems to be an awards season campaign work with no shortcomings, and entry points can be found from all angles. Sony's classic public relations chips are really enviable.
More importantly, Cracking Drummer has Renly.
Then, it’s time to praise Renly in a fancy way again, but this time, there’s a surprise.
“You can find a thousand reasons to hate Renly, but you can't refute the key to loving Renly: this talented actor can always shine on the big screen..”
This is a feature report from "Us Weekly", focusing firmly on Hollywood's most popular darlings.
“‘There is such a scene in Explosive Drummer'：
Andrew stared at the camera calmly. From calm and collected to sharp and sharp, the light and shadow hidden in the depths of his pupils reflected the inner transformation and growth. He could clearly capture the critical moment when a soul completes its rebirth, and then the bloody and brutal breath became cold. It was delivered bone-chillingly, and the decisive and decisive force silently demonstrated the moment of overthrowing authority, establishing one's own family, and regaining a new life. Gradually, he became a giant who stood tall and tall, and finally converged, fell to the corner of his mouth and rose, blooming with perfection. The joy of the moment and the fanatical emotions are vented.
The changes in just one look are real and delicate, profound and vivid, showing the process of transformation in a clear-cut manner. The emotional changes are perfectly integrated with the character's growth, completing a perfect ending for the character's arc, and truly making the character feel real. Everyone in the audience is in the same position as Andrew.
This can be said to be an over-interpretation, but there is no doubt that every audience can feel the shock that hits them, swallowing them up like a stormy wave..
This is the last scene of "Crackling Drummer", but it is also the moment that elevates the movie from a masterpiece to a classic. The completeness of the story and the fullness of emotions make the whole work full of vitality. Renly Hall truly interprets the essence of acting. The ultimate, double shock from physical to psychological, fully demonstrates the unique charm of the big screen, reminding the audience once again：
Why film art should belong on the big screen！
Only the big screen can truly immerse the audience in the atmosphere of the entire movie, as if they are swallowed up and immersed in it..
But obviously, the praise and exclamation about Renly Hall is nothing new, and I am definitely not the most professional film critic among them, and he does not need my cheers to continue to contribute; today, I am even more Tends to calm down and talk about Renly Hall off screen：
How did this actor, affectionately called 'Master Renly' by the Quixotes, conquer his fans?？”
After winning the Oscar with "Crazy Love", articles, reports, interviews, and rumors about Renly have been endless. As the number one person in the global film industry today, there will never be a lack of attention focused on him. Major media He also continued to dig out different angles and levels over and over again, trying to find the unknown secret side of this peak figure - it is definitely not a paparazzi trick..
I still remember that the year before last, the "New York Times" wrote an exclusive interview titled "What it's like to be Renly Hall", which showed Renly's life-oriented side from different perspectives. He is still the face of countless Don Quixotes. Articles that everyone treasures and cherishes. The image of the young man riding a skateboard and fluttering shirt has been successfully imprinted in the hearts of fans. For the time being, there is no special report that has surpassed such a peak..
How to dig out new ideas amidst the frenzy of praise and clichéd topics is also a topic that every reporter and every media has been thinking about. Now "US Weekly" has successfully found an ingenious entry point, starting from "Buried Alive" landing in Toronto. Gavin Hunter, a veteran industry reporter who started paying attention to Renly, wrote this article.
Gavin Hunter, this is a name that has not appeared for a long time, and has even been forgotten by many people.
Mentioning the once sensational "Hypegate" can once again awaken memories. Gavin Hunter and Cornell McGregor have been close friends since college. They both noticed Renly at the Toronto Film Festival. , but the subsequent development of the story extended into two lines.
“"Hypegate" caused Cornell to disappear completely, and no one heard anything from him after that; as another important role in the incident, Gavin's journalistic career did not suffer negative consequences because of completely different choices. influence, but he also failed to seize the opportunity to soar into the sky..
Deep down in his heart, Gavin was still suffering because of Cornell's choice. Although he had not made the wrong choice from beginning to end, Gavin began to re-examine his work, his life and society. They all had different understandings and struggled to reach the finish line over and over again. Gavin chose to slow down or even take a step back - literally..
Gavin stepped back from the front line of interviews. He no longer attended premieres, followed promotional schedules, or traveled around the world. Instead, he returned to the editorial department and entered the field of interviews and special topics, planning exclusive interviews and special topics, Writing in-depth reports, etc., opened up another world of journalism.
Honestly, Gavin did a great job.
However, the focus of Gavin's eyes never left Renly. There were active and passive factors, and he more or less silently followed Renly's career curve, witnessing the birth of history one after another, and experiencing myth after myth. creation, participating in it in another way.
But after all, Gavin never wrote any articles about Renly again - even if the editor asked, he would find reasons to refuse. From a participant to a bystander, Gavin took a step back and looked at Renly quietly. This magnificent journey has become a witness to history..
Journalists, in addition to entertaining themselves to death and supervising public opinion, their job also includes recording history..
The situation has changed subtly this year. As an industry insider, Gavin can also feel the restlessness and undercurrent of the storm that is about to come. Especially after taking a step back, Gavin can be a bystander. Looking at the overall situation, that feeling becomes more and more obvious, including the frequent actions of Sisyphus Pictures, the silent smoke between companies such as Disney, Warner and Universal, and the strategic tilt of Weinstein Pictures……
Everything seems to be brewing some major turning point or important event, but before the truth is revealed, Gavin is just watching but still involved in it, unable to start or understand, giving rise to a feeling of a trapped beast, vaguely Land, Gavin thinks this is closely related to Renly.
In the end, this also became the decisive factor in Gavin's decision to write this topic. After many years, he finally focused his writing on Renly again..
