621 Create another boom
Only a year ago, "Buried Alive" landed at the Toronto Film Festival and emerged as a dark horse. Even in the face of two hot topics, "The Social Network" and "The King's Speech", it still occupied a place and triggered countless discussions; Now, two years later, "Crazy Love" has landed at the Toronto Film Festival, but the name Renly Hall has become the center of attention..
“The North American box office of "Fast and Furious 5" with a box office of 300 million is still fresh in my mind, and "Crazy Love" has the momentum of the Sundance Award. With great expectations, it has arrived in Toronto, and even the "President" with infinite scenery in Venice "Kill the Game" and "A Farewell" in which he won an award in Berlin and received a soft hand cannot be compared; Renly's popularity can even be compared with that of George Clooney and Brad Pitt, and he has been enthusiastically followed by the local Canadian audience..
One year, earth-shaking changes！
“Before the premiere of "Crazy in Love", the huge queue easily exceeded the record set by "President Killing Bureau" this year. After the opening, the festival atmosphere, which was slightly dull and dull, finally broke free and erupted like a volcano. came out; and the subsequent red carpet of the premiere was even more crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, proudly showing Renly's attention to the world..
With an interview lineup of as many as 300 reporters, plus more than 1,500 onlookers, there is no doubt that "Crazy Love", a work with no stars, no cost, and no gimmicks, replaced "The Presidential Killing Bureau" " has become the most popular premiere ceremony since the opening of this year's film festival. The enthusiasm ignited by George Clooney last night has once again reached a higher level..
It is worth mentioning that this "little-known" movie ushered in a star-studded red carpet, with the attendance of Ryan Gosling and Paul Walker, which was expected; Seth Rowe The appearance of Root, Rami Malek, Gal Gadot, and Rose Byrne is not surprising; the attendance of George Clooney and Gary Oldman caused a stir one after another. The reporters were agitated; finally, when Scarlett Johansson appeared, the audience triggered a tsunami-like reaction.！
Everyone is speculating on the relationship between Scarlett and Renly. George and Gary both expressed their interest in the movie "Crazy Love" in interviews, so they paid a special visit, but what about Scarlett? Faced with the question of a long-term question, Scarlett said, "Renly and I are friends. He... extended a helping hand to me before, and since then, we have become friends." The profound answer made her laugh. All the reporters were blown away.
The reason is simple: Jennifer? Or Scarlett？
Before "Crazy Love" landed in Toronto, reporters were constantly hyping Renly and Jennifer, the golden couple. The two new generation acting representatives are of the same age and have risen to prominence at the same time. During the Oscars, some people teased them. It is said that two people can board the red carpet together, but it is a pity that Renly was unfortunately absent in the end. Now, "Crazy Love" co-starred by the two is about to be released, and it is also a love movie - reporters don't care at all that the heroine is actually Felicity directly focused on these two people..
Scandals don’t need to be hyped, they are already lively.
But now, a Scarlett is killed? This was a good time to watch. When Renly and Jennifer appeared on the red carpet, the reporters couldn't wait to ask questions, and both of them laughed heartily..
Jennifer said, "Renly warned me before that this problem would definitely arise. I heard that last year you also reported on the scandal between Renly and Ryan Gosling?" When answering the question, Jennifer laughed all the time. "So, are you going to let me take Ryan's place now?" Such a retort was full of humor and ridicule, which refuted the reporters' speculation..
As for Renly, he was even more serious and expressionless, "Jennifer and I are not even friends." Such an answer sounded cold and callous, but after tasting it carefully, he noticed Renly's ridicule and teasing, which actually made him more serious. It's hard for reporters to figure it out. But what is certain is that Renly and Jennifer's personal relationship is indeed good, but is it considered a scandal? This is a huge question mark.
“Scarlett? "The reporters' fierce pursuit made Renly show a meaningful expression, "I should confirm with my agent first, can I tell this news?.”
So, is this an admission or a denial? The reporters were all confused by Renly. They kept asking questions for a long time, but there was no ambiguous answer. Instead, it was like a guessing game. What is this? Homework?？
It is a pity that the reporters could not continue to ask questions, because the audience at the scene heard a roar of support. The earth-shattering roar, thunderous shouts, and earth-shattering crowds not only showed the enthusiasm of the Canadian people, but also It also shows a fanaticism that surpasses George Clooney.
The "Young Master" shouted again and again, hoarse, with deep affection, and overwhelming momentum. This made everyone look surprised. Renly's rise is indeed very fast, but a "Fast and Furious 5" It’s not important enough at all. It’s not an easy task to surpass George Clooney and Brad Pitt. What happened in the time and space they didn’t know.？
Even Renly himself looked surprised.
In this regard, the official program of the Toronto Film Festival stated, "Renly, who started his career in Toronto, has a second home outside of London..”
A simple sentence, but it tells the truth. As Renly's film debut, "Buried Alive" made its debut in Toronto. Renly also went to the world from this film festival, and local media and local audiences will Renly is regarded as "an actor who walked out from here", as if he is the superstar they made famous. Now that he has returned to his hometown, the treatment he is given is naturally different. This is also a special treatment that George, Brad and others cannot enjoy..
Invisibly, people's expectations for "Crazy Love" have risen to a higher level. The reputation accumulated since Sundance is ready to explode, waiting to explode..
Expectations are getting higher and higher, which is a double-edged sword that can be a good thing or a bad thing. On the one hand, people will be judged more harshly. Just being good is not enough to meet such high standards of expectations. It must be excellent; on the other hand, if the work is still satisfactory under such high expectations, then the admiration and praise will increase double, five times, or ten times..
This is the same reason that people are famous for their rights and wrongs. When they stand in the spotlight and enjoy praise and popularity, they naturally have to shoulder responsibilities and burdens. However, facts have proved that "Crazy in Love" definitely lives up to its reputation and successfully brought Shengdan to the world. The media frenzy ushered in during this period continues.
'Crazy' receives a wave of praise after its Toronto premiere.
“Roger Ebert of the "Chicago Sun" was absent from Sundance, but did not miss Toronto. He not only gave a fair evaluation of 88 points, but also gave a recommendation of four stars, thinking that this is a film A "not to be missed" masterpiece.
In the short review, Roger said, "Once again, Renly Hall has proven with practical actions that he is the most powerful and potential performer of Generation Y..”
Abandoning the popular expression method of "actor", Roger chose the highest artistic evaluation of "performer", which is equivalent to distinguishing Renly from other actors. With such treatment, even Nata Even Leigh Portman couldn't get it. This shows that Roger admires Renly..
“There is a delicate and tough, turbulent and restrained power in Hall's performance. That kind of natural temperament from the inside out gives "Crazy Love" a fragile, profound, touching and beautiful temperament..
Different from the crude, powerful and vivid performance in "Buried Alive", Hall's performance this time has been pulling in and pressing inward. It seems that he is doing nothing, but invisibly attracts everyone. The emotions deep in the mind and memory are awakened and handed over to the story and the audience, giving rise to different reflections.
The most exciting scene in the movie is the scene between Hall and Lawrence. He bid farewell to his girlfriend in London and returned to Los Angeles, but he lived with another woman. In the movie, the director did not use any lines or scenes. He only relied on Hall's performance to explain the cause and effect with pen and ink, but it told the whole story: he and his girlfriend had broken up, and he started his life again, but his memory always stayed in the past. When I realize that parting has become a reality, the confusion and fragility of the roaring and tsunami are momentary, but profound..
With just this one scene, Hall once again declared his unshakable status as the new acting king.！
Putting aside the commercial performance of "Fast and Furious 5", Hall showed different looks, different methods, different touches, understanding, reflection and interpretation of the characters in the two independent films. It is a unique existence among the new generation.”
In the long column that followed, Roger did not hesitate to praise him, spending more than half of his words praising Renly..
At the end of the review, Roger said, "'Crazy' is an excellent film and a personal film. It shows the heartbreaking and fascinating love of Jacob and Anna. It's so sad. The emotion of regret but helplessness is undoubtedly the biggest highlight. However, Renly Hall's performance makes this outstanding work have the possibility to become a masterpiece..”
“"Maybe", just maybe, as can be seen from Roger's score of 88 points, which means it is not a masterpiece. Despite this, the positive review of "Chicago Sun" still opened the door for "Crazy Love" a good start.
In fact, this wasn't the only positive review. After the premiere in Toronto, a total of fourteen media outlets rated "Crazy" - which is not a lot, but does not include those who have already rated it at Sundance. The media, calculated in this way, is not just "not much", but "very much"”.
Incredibly, fourteen media outlets all gave positive reviews! When it was at Sundance, three media outlets gave negative reviews and made sharp and cold criticism of "Crazy Love", but this time in Toronto, it was 100% positive, even though the media was kind and friendly. In Toronto, such an achievement still triggered an exclamation of exclamation.
Everyone truly felt: Renly Hall once again created his own craze！
