For a top-level event like Toronto Film Festival, a huge number of works are shown here every year. Some of them choose to premiere in the world, some in North America, and some come to duolundo after they have been shown in other local film festivals in the United States. They hope to further expand their influence and naturally, Not every movie gets "equal treatment.".
In addition to the main venue, there are more than a dozen projection venues in different areas of the city. Film lovers can choose the right cinema to watch their favorite movies according to their geographical location.
It's not natural for a completely independent film like "buried alive" to hold a premiere in the main venue. Even if this is its first meeting with audiences around the world, after all, the film festival has only 11 days. Excluding the opening and closing ceremonies, there are only nine days. Only one film can hold a grand premiere in the main venue every day, "Buried alive" was arranged in the Toronto entertainment district of the venue, the official meeting with the audience.
The venue is a small venue, which can only accommodate 600 spectators. The gate, passageway, scale and so on will shrink correspondingly. I don't know if this is the reason. At this time, there is a large crowd at the gate of the venue, which seems to block the whole red carpet. The scene looks quite large, If the sun is not still bright and quiet at 4 p.m., there will even be an illusion that this is the grand Premiere of the main venue.
About 20 or 30 reporters gathered in the narrow media coverage area, jostling and pushing each other one after another, with the sound of shutter; The film festival's loyal fans at least came to more than 100 people. They stood on both sides of the protective railings of the red carpet, shouting and screaming excitedly, which pushed the scene atmosphere to a climax and made people feel that this is the premiere of a film.
Rodriguez subconsciously wiped the sweat from the back of his neck. The battle in front of him was obviously far beyond imagination. What he was worried about didn't appear, but he had to worry about another thing - how he didn't have stage fright in the face of so many media. His sweat seemed to have soaked his shirt and pulled his right hand out from the back of his neck, Then he saw the sweat in his palm. At this time, he reflected: how do he wipe his hands?
Fortunately, Andy sitting opposite handed a tissue, which Rodriguez quickly took over, wipe off the wet sweat of palm, mouth repeatedly thanks.
Lanli took a serious look at the red carpet, and then saw the elegant and leisurely figure in the flash. He was wearing a deep silver sequined deep v-shirt, matching with a black suit coat and suit pants. He stepped on a pair of red pointed high heels, and his long dark brown hair was tied into a ponytail, revealing his whole face cleanly, Fashion with a trace of casual, formal with a trace of leisure, easily become the focus of the audience.
It's Natalie Portman.
As one of the most popular actresses in this year's Toronto Film Festival, Natalie is definitely the focus of attention no matter where she goes. This afternoon, she is radiant and smiling. It can be seen that she is in a good mood.
At this time, she was full of recording equipment in her hand, talking and laughing with the reporters. The atmosphere was so lively that it seemed that she was the main character of the premiere. Just for her appearance, she occupied the center of the stage and took the initiative in the calculation.
Turning his head, Lan Li's eyes meet Andy. They look at each other and smile. Everything is silent. Then, without any hesitation or timidity, Lan Li pats Rodriguez on the shoulder and says, "open the door."
Rodriguez was relieved, quickly opened the door and walked down quickly.
The red carpet was boiling like a sunflower, looking at the luminous body at the center of the end, so that almost no one noticed that another guest arrived at the premiere, which was really embarrassing.
Gavin hunt was the first to notice the presence of Langley. To be exact, he has been waiting for Langley to arrive at the scene. Waiting for the premiere of "buried alive", he can't wait to interview lanli's views and opinions, and can't wait to have a deeper understanding of the film——
To tell you the truth, there are not many media like Gavin who really come here for the film today. Either the official media of the Toronto Film Festival or the gossip media who pay attention to the recent strong newcomer lanli, they all come to watch with the mood of watching, and most of the media are not ace reporters.
As a result, Gavin immediately locked his target, swaggered to the forefront of the interview area, shouting, "blue Uncontrollable joy surged up, spurted out, and even couldn't help raising his right hand, swaying up and taking the initiative to say hello.
Restricted by the size of the venue, the red carpet is only less than 15 meters long, and the width on both sides is only about two meters. Everything has been magnified twice or three times. The close distance seems to be suddenly magnified in the line of sight. There is a sense of pressure, which also makes the scene boiling and turbulent become exaggerated.
In the crowd, Lan Li saw Gavin's face full of excitement. He was helpless and funny. Rodriguez standing beside him didn't know. So he asked Lan Li in a low voice, "is that your fan?"
"No, it's a fanatical stalker." Lanli makes a joke, but Rodriguez takes it seriously. He looks at Gavin in horror, which makes lanli laugh brightly.
Bradley Adams of the "New York Times" immediately discovered the arrival of Langley. Unlike other reporters, he was really curious about Langley's future career. He had a wonderful and absurd premonition that "burying alive" would be a very excellent and important work. This made him abandon Natalie in front of him without hesitation, turn around and aim at Lan Li not far away, and press the shutter.
"Vanity Fair" Daisy Lucas appears calm, familiar with the camera, aiming at the blue out of the car, almost no pause space, quickly with the camera to record Blue's every move. Although "buried alive" is not on the important interview list of vanity fair, Daisy did not hesitate to use her private time to attend the premiere.
Gavin's impulsive and crazy voice came to their ears. Bradley and Daisy were a little surprised - they thought it was the cry of crazy fans, but when they looked around, they found that the fans didn't have any special action. It was their colleagues who really lost control and yelled. This gap was a kind of inexplicable joy.
At this time, a heroic voice called out, "Hey, handsome guy, hey, it's you. Look here."
At this time, more than 90% of the fans are cheering and shouting at Natalie. Thanks to the Star Wars prequel series, Natalie has gained a lot of fans, even in Toronto. Just now, after Natalie arrived at the venue, the number of fans on the scene doubled. Predictably, there are still fans coming frantically.
But the voice suddenly sounded, not only out of place, but also unique - no fans crazy, no fans enthusiasm, more like a street chat up when the tease. Today's premiere of "buried alive" has had enough accidents, first Natalie, then a fanatical reporter, and now add an inexplicable girl, what's wrong?
Bradley, Daisy and Gavin all looked at it one after another. Not only that, other reporters also felt the accidents behind them one after another and turned their heads one after another. For a moment, the scene was a little quiet, and the focus of attention seemed to be tilting bit by bit.
The roar at the scene is not exaggerated - it looks lively, but there is a gap in the base number of personnel. We can feel the difference from the cry. Lanli heard the girl's cry effortlessly, looked up and saw a tall blonde girl.
She was wearing a black T-shirt with a light blue denim coat. Her youthful temperament was permeated with a hint of Sassou. Her golden hair was high. The overall style seemed to be similar to Natalie's today's dress. However, compared with Natalie's powerful momentum, she was much more approachable, with the playfulness of some girls next door.
Langley was stunned, then showed a surprise look, changed the direction, walked straight past, "you are..." Langley seriously recalled for a moment, "Chanel Laurent!"
The blonde girl's smile burst out. "Hey, you remember my name, and you didn't pronounce it wrong. It's a big surprise Chanel raised her hand and gave lanli a little shoulder flick. "How do you like my surprise? I kept my promise and came to watch the movie in person. You'd better not let me down, or I'll definitely count the toll on you. "
"Ha ha, no problem." Lanli laughed happily, and then he saw Rodriguez on his side. He was a bit at a loss and subconsciously followed lanli's steps. "Director, don't you remember her?" Rodriguez's face was blank. "She was the girl who mistakenly thought you had kidnapped me when we auditioned, and then came up to help. We had a short conversation, didn't we?"
Rodriguez's eyes glared, and then he reacted, but he was still in a daze. "Wow, you have a good memory." Obviously, his memory is a little fuzzy.
Lan Li spread out his hands and made a helpless gesture, "I'm just fulfilling my duty as a gentleman. Of course, I will never admit that the real reason is that I have begun to have the burden of idols. "
The humorous words made Chanel clap his hands and laugh.
