This article written by Bradley Adams was first updated on the official website of The New York Times in the early morning of October 22.
“…… The landmark theater chain in downtown Los Angeles welcomed two hundred audiences, creating the second midnight show craze since 2000 after "Brokeback Mountain"... At the same time, ten other people in Los Angeles and New York The movie theaters that screened the movie also ushered in a rare movie-watching frenzy……
This is an unknown independent film. From the director to the actors, the entire crew is a complete newcomer. This is the director’s second feature film and the actor’s first big-screen film. It’s only three hundred An investment of 10,000 U.S. dollars cannot make a single ripple in the backwaters of Hollywood. Even if Toronto is highly praised, even if Telluride is attracting attention, "Buried Alive" is still another masterpiece that has been ignored by the North American film market..
……The screening in eleven art theaters has achieved initial success, once again making people firmly believe that as long as the quality of the work itself is excellent enough, the market will still be willing to provide corresponding support... 'Buried alive' the next market The performance is exciting, and whether independent art films can usher in spring... At the same time, 'The King's Speech' and 'Black Swan', two acclaimed independent art works, are also looking forward to a warm response from the box office.……

Even Andy Rogers, who personally directed the "Fast and Furious 5" crew, had no intention of inviting reporters. After all, the midnight show was too remote. If reporters were invited, it would be a bit deliberate. Andy said What is expected is that the cinema staff or other midnight showgoers will take the initiative to break the news on the Internet; or else they can upload photos from the perspective of the audience, and then make connections and let reporters go to interview "Fast and Furious 5" "The crew members broke the news.
But the result far exceeded expectations.
It can be seen that Bradley gave up the biggest gimmick of the night - the "Fast and Furious 5" crew, and instead focused all his attention on the full capacity of the midnight show. This will undoubtedly The publicity effect of "Buried Alive" was maximized, but it weakened the early publicity of "Fast and Furious 5".
In just a few hours, the New York Times story attracted more than a million hits and was picked up by sixteen different news sources. This was an independent story with no publicity budget. For a movie, it’s a dream start.！
Even the New York Times itself was a little surprised that this report triggered such a strong response..

There is no doubt that "Buried Alive" has become the latest hot topic..
“I finally know why this movie caused long queues in Toronto! Why did countless spectators gather in Toronto to call for extra performances! Why Telluride’s loyal viewers are also full of praise! Why are some people even comparing it to '127' hours?！
Because, 'Buried Alive' is a masterpiece! A well-deserved masterpiece! The plot is weak, the camerawork is monotonous, and the connotation is complicated... These are all shortcomings, and they are all true, but they still cannot conceal the excellence of the work! The precise rhythm firmly grasps the audience's attention; the thrilling atmosphere is simple but not boring, and the whole process is high-energy; and most importantly: the wonderful performance, every detail of the performance shocked my soul! Wonderful! It's really wonderful！
I already want to play for the second time now, and I strongly request to play more games.！”

“The midnight show in Los Angeles was completely blown out. My friends and I almost missed the movie. It was blown out. It was completely blown out. It was unimaginable! How are you guys in New York?？”
“Renly-Hall! A true talent, he has completely sublimated acting into an art form! Compared with him, James Franco's performance is really weak！”
“The movie is really really really good! This is the real secret room movie. There are no ups and downs of drama, and there are no conflicts between characters. However, it brings the charm of the movie to the extreme in a limited space. It is such an immersive thriller that it has been three months since I finished watching the movie. It's been a little while, and my hands are still shaking.”
“Strength, absolute strength! I think Renly Hall deserves an Oscar! If anyone else says that he is working from the backstage, please go to the cinema, okay? A slap in the face directly！”

Almost everyone is discussing "Buried Alive" enthusiastically, creating a strange illusion: as if this is not an art work being screened in 11 theaters, but being screened on a large scale in 4,000 theaters. commercial movie, the attention and discussion are booming, which is abnormal and scary..
It can be seen from this aspect that in the past two months, the attention from movie lovers has indeed reached a new high. Although only two cities, New York and Los Angeles, will hold screenings tonight, people who have stayed up all night to pay attention to "Buried Alive" "There are actually quite a few fans of.
This is a sleepless night.
What would have only happened to movies that aroused fan fanaticism such as "Star Wars", "Lord of the Rings" and "The Matrix" has now happened to "Buried Alive" - although the scale is several times smaller, it is still Shocking. A stunning moment about newcomer Renly, and now one more.
After William returned to the dormitory, he was too excited to sleep. His first reaction was to log in to the Yahoo community and start browsing the posts. Looking at the content of the posts, many details of the movie he watched a few hours ago came to mind. This kind of The feeling was so amazing that he couldn't help but get excited. He responded to every post and expressed his own opinions..
The entire Yahoo community was extremely lively, as if it was a rare moment for afternoon tea. No one noticed the white fish belly gradually showing outside the window..
Suddenly, William stopped sliding his finger on the mouse and took a closer look. He thought he had made a mistake. After confirming again, he found that the nickname of the post was indeed "Brando Mania", so he became excited..
After clicking to open the post, William was a little surprised. What appeared in front of him was not a movie review or an impression, but a painting. A hand-painted watercolor painting..
On top of the painting is tonight's protagonist, Renly.
Gray shirt, black jeans, light brown windbreaker, with his right hand in his pants pocket and a cigarette in his left hand. His deep facial features and smart eyes are vivid under the delicate brushstrokes, even more vivid than the photos. However, The bright watercolor increased the contrast of the colors, and the charcoal-like eyebrows were gently raised, and the strong color impact seemed to be struggling to break through the screen..
William thought of Renly's appearance tonight and smiled. He had to admit that this painting outlined Renly's eyes very well, as if his whole life had become alive..
Under the painting, Brando wrote enthusiastically, "I attended the midnight screening of 'Buried Alive' tonight. Unexpectedly, I actually saw Renly Hall himself. Not only did he interact with the audience in person, but he also The audience discussed various ideas about the movie and the characters together, and the scene was like a fan meeting.！
In order to play the role of "Buried Alive", the young master put in unimaginable efforts and persistence. He even experienced the fear of being buried alive for a while - he lay in a coffin for eight hours, completely sealed. Coffin, after walking on the line of death once, he truly felt the struggle and pain of the character. Therefore, this is the visceral pain that we experience in the cinema.
I have to admit that Master Renly is far more handsome in person than on the screen. His indescribable handsomeness and elegance make people want to scream. Cameras and cameras simply cannot capture the casualness of Renly. The flowing temperament of light can only be recorded by the eyes.
An actor who has outstanding acting talent and persistent enthusiasm for acting, and at the same time has the classical elegance of a gentleman and the vitality of a boy. It is completely impossible to envy, he is just amazed and amazed..
Unfortunately, out of respect and accident, I didn’t bring a camera last night. So I used a paintbrush to record the amazing glimpse..”
Brando's fanatical post was posted less than fifteen minutes ago, and in the blink of an eye it had attracted more than 3,000 clicks and more than 200 replies..
Under the post, a large number of fans began to scream uncontrollably, "The young master is so handsome! Marry me, young master!" "I've fallen for a truly top-notch man!" "I'm so envious. ! I'm in Los Angeles too. Why didn't I see Master Renly?？”……
In fact, this is just the beginning.
