273 Spotlight the event
Bradley isn't sure he made the right decision.
There has been a lot of news about Renly recently, but "Buried Alive" is just a small-budget independent work. Even with the power of Toronto and Telluride, its place in the awards season is still unclear. , not to mention the similar type of "127 Hours" coming fiercely. In the long awards season, it is not easy for any work to reach the end..
Attending the midnight screening of "Buried Alive" for the first time, interviewing the audience's thoughts, and looking for reactions to the movie. This seems to be an unnecessary move. It is unlikely that there will be any interview material worthy of reporting. For an independent art film like this , rushing to report on the midnight show is simply useless. They can wait for the word of mouth of film critics to lift the ban, and then Rotten Tomatoes and imdb scores to lift the ban, and then do further follow-up reports..
Reason told him so, but emotion gave a completely different answer. Bradley remembered the surprising glimpse at the screening of "War in the Pacific", and out of intuition, he chose to attend the midnight show; he even prepared it Mentally prepare yourself, the midnight theater is empty except for two or three kittens, so he will regard it as his own contribution to the movie box office..
Unexpectedly, never expected that the impulsive choice of the Sixth Sense met with a huge surprise..
Bradley suddenly became excited. Looking at the noisy ticket hall in front of him, he started chatting with the audience non-stop..
Most of the audience were driven by curiosity and came specifically to see who "Renly Hall" was..
Renly's rise has been really fast in recent times, and there have been endless discussions about Renly's net worth and background. Although the good reviews of "Buried Alive" at the Toronto and Telluride Film Festivals have answered the doubts to some extent, but After the news of participating in "The Furious 5" came out, the discussion was revived again.
“"Buried Alive" has become the best medium. If Renly's performance is really commendable, then regardless of whether Renly has a strong backer, at least his strength can silence the doubters; but if Renly's performance Unsatisfactory, things suddenly became interesting. The "Pacific War" had just ended, and Toronto and Telluride began to pursue them. Renly's backing was definitely not trivial..
As a result, supporters, opponents, and busybodies began to show up one after another, forming a lively new force at the midnight show..
A small number of viewers are fans of "Renly Hall". Even if they haven't reached the level of movie fans, at least they are viewers who are impressed by Renly because of "Pacific War". Their expectations for "Buried Alive" have been off the charts..
Bradley heard a very interesting point of view, "Don't you think the young master's 'Cleopatra' is a complement to his role in 'Pacific War'? Or it is an understanding." The petite but energetic girl standing in front of him said with piercing eyes, "That kind of bard-like temperament makes people feel the fragility and confusion deep in Eugene's heart..”
He remembered that this girl just introduced herself as Hope.
“So is that why you like him? His music, and his performance? "Bradley thinks this is a novel perspective..
In fact, when Renly released two singles before, Bradley also had the same idea: Is this guy a new generation star promoted by Disney or Warner Brothers? From actor to singer? Otherwise, the recent development trajectory is really weird..
But after careful investigation, nothing was gained, and Bradley's doubts were stuck there, unanswered..
Now, Hope's explanation has opened a whole new door for Bradley, so many things have been explained.
For example, after Renly released two singles, why was there no supporting promotion, and even a music video was not filmed? For example, why were these two singles not sent to radio stations? The on-demand data of radio stations is really pitiful, and they are completely dependent on The powerful data of streaming media has made people aware of these two songs; for another example, why is Renly's film selection route so strange? After "The Pacific War", he successively filmed two low-cost movies "Buried Alive" and "Crazy Love" works.
In the final analysis, these two singles are just the voice of Renly, as sentimental as a bard. If "Cleopatra" was inspired by the "Pacific War", then "Ophelia" It’s the Emmy Awards？
Bradley was immediately excited. He felt that he should go back and listen to the two singles again.！
“No, it's not." Hope gave a negative answer, which made Bradley stunned. "You don't understand what I mean. Whether it is his music or his performance, he has injected his own He has carefully studied, chewed, and reflected on things, and then integrated his own talents, own understandings, and own thoughts into them. This is the reason why his works are so outstanding and why I like him. .Believe me, after you watch 'Buried Alive' tonight, you'll know what I mean..”
Bradley was a little surprised, even a little stunned. He obviously did not expect that Renly, who had only appeared in the public eye for half a year, and who had only delivered one TV series and two singles so far, would actually win the award. Such a die-hard fan, and the evaluation is so high and profound, it is really impressive..
“Is this too much praise?？”
This was the only thought in Bradley's mind. However, before he could ask further questions, there was a commotion at the entrance of the Landmark Cinema. As a reporter's keen intuition, he turned his head reflexively and looked over, and then I saw Vin Diesel and Ludacris walking through the night.
There have been enough surprises tonight, and now it looks like the surprises aren't over yet！
As one of the few top action actors in Hollywood today, Fan's muscular body is highly recognizable. As soon as he appeared on the stage, he immediately aroused whispers from the audience, and excitement agitated the crowd. Brad Li reacted immediately and took the initiative to greet him..
Fan raised his head and looked over the surging crowd, trying to find the familiar faces of the crew..
He completely turned a blind eye to the huge crowd in front of him and didn't find it strange at all. In order to create news, Renly had invited the entire crew and spent his own money to invite two hundred people to watch the movie. It was not unusual at all..
In his opinion, there is such a kind of art film. Film critics applaud and are so excited that they want to eat all the chairs in the screening room. However, the audience just does not buy it and has no interest in entering the cinema to watch it. Even those who rent CDs No intention, there are several such movies every year during the awards season. Obviously, "Buried Alive" is such a movie.
Therefore, he didn't care what medicine was sold in Renly's gourd. His only thought now was to deal with this occasion quickly and go home quickly. As long as he thought that he actually came to support Renly's new work, And he even had to smile and praise him, which made his stomach so hot that he almost vomited..
But why didn’t I see the crew members? There were less than twenty minutes left before the midnight show. In order to get rid of the suspicion of being a "big name", Christian deliberately asked him to arrive at the venue twenty minutes early to show his friendliness, but there was nothing familiar in sight. face, what's going on?？
“Fan, Ludacris." Bradley's footsteps had already arrived in front of the two people, and he greeted them familiarly, "Why did you show up? Did you come here specifically to watch a midnight screening of old black and white movies? "Bradley did it on purpose. He didn't mention "Buried Alive" on purpose. The whole of North America knew about the filming news of "Furious 5". How could he not know?.
Fan recognized the reporter in front of him. He didn’t remember the name, but he knew it was the New York Times or the New York Post. No matter which one they were, they were top media outlets and could not be offended easily..
Then, Fan showed an enthusiastic smile, "Don't you know? I came here specially to support Renly." Fan felt that his stomach was turning, and every inch of his body felt uncomfortable, as if it would explode at any time. Generally speaking, "I have watched this movie before in Telluride. It is so exciting that I can't put it down. Today the movie is officially released in the United States. How can I not come to support it? What's more, Renly is the best actor on the crew right now." important components.”
Van almost bit his own tongue. He hated Renly so much that he hated him to the core! That bitch should get as far away as possible! However, he couldn't lose his composure tonight. Thinking of Christian's threat, he couldn't help but shudder. Not only did he have to behave appropriately, but he also had to use all his compliments..
“If necessary, you hug, kiss or kiss Renly at the scene. I don't care. You have to use all means to make Neal and Lang feel your sincerity. This is not to promote 'Buried Alive', this is I'm doing public relations for 'Du and Passion 5'! You must know that it’s not just that you feel uncomfortable. If you give Renly a close hug, his rejection will definitely be no less than yours. Therefore, let him feel that it is too much and let him take the initiative to resist your intimacy. Only then can we turn the situation around！”
He didn't want to hug Renly, but at least he could be friendly.
“In fact, our entire crew is going to be the first one today. I can’t wait! "Fan rubbed his palms and said enthusiastically.
Bradley's eyes widened, this was the real surprise of the night! "So, the entire 'Fate and Fury 5' crew will be coming tonight？”
Fan turned to look at Ludacris, and both laughed. Renly is a humble guy. Yes, he booked two screening rooms and invited all members of the crew to come and watch. I was originally worried, but It wasn’t because the box office of the movie was really worrying that I made such a move. Now it seems that I thought too much. Haha, haha.”
