Chapter 175

With the passage of time, more and more people are coming back from the gate of the cinema. People who don't care about the film festival can't help but be curious when they pass by. They come to ask which film is on today, which actually leads to such an upsurge.

Even reporters from all walks of life came quickly after receiving the news. At lunchtime, Gaofeng Changlong had more than 800 people. The last time such a grand occasion appeared was in 2008. The "Slumdog Millionaire" triggered a movie watching boom, and the number of people in line exceeded 1500. Today's scene seems to be more and more crazy, Such an accident once again left reporters unprepared.

For the Toronto Film Festival, the number of audiences is more than 350000 every year. This year, there is even a chance to exceed 400000. The upsurge of watching movies is increasing year by year.

But because most of the movie tickets have been sold in advance before the opening, the number of fans who arrive at the scene to join the peak dragon is still limited after all. For a single movie, the queue of more than 200 yards is already popular. There is always a peak dragon at the gate of every movie theater, and the audience chooses their favorite works to watch.

It is true that "Slumdog Millionaire" is popular every year, but there are generally reasons for it. For example, the works are very good, and film critics are in pursuit of it; For example, the director is very famous and has a strong appeal; For another example, the cast is extraordinary, just fans are enough to detonate the scene; Another example is that "Slumdog Millionaire" has a special attraction for Indian immigrants, British audiences who used to be colonial owners, and Canadian audiences who now have close ties with Britain and India

But "buried alive" does not have any of the above conditions. Media review? Six good reviews and three bad reviews are really good, especially for thrillers and suspense films, which have not completely detonated the market; Director and actor? A nobody, a new pink, heard the name of the audience are limited; Public relations? This independent film has not even been found by the distribution company, let alone the public relations propaganda. Few people had heard of this film before its premiere the day before yesterday.

So, why?

After the premiere of "bury alive", the media really had a lot of excitement. Whether it was the surprise brought by the work itself, the curiosity about the new actor lanli, or the concern about the scandal between Natalie and lanli, all of which successfully made "bury alive" surpass "the city robber" and become the biggest focus in the past 24 hours. But, this still can't explain the long peak of 800 people, all this is too exaggerated!

At the moment of 2010, the influence of Facebook and tubing has gradually become a new media force, and the influence of the Internet on social life can be seen in all aspects; But the impact of online media on traditional industries is still not fully revealed. Take film publicity as an example, now the public relations team realizes that online publicity is necessary, and they will arrange relevant publicity content, but the degree of attention is very limited. Traditional TV, radio, on-site and other publicity methods still play a major role.

In other words, the "real-time era" brought about by social networks is just beginning, and people's understanding of the powerful power of the network is just the tip of the iceberg.

In the past few months, Yahoo community has been in full swing, and finally burst out a powerful energy on the international stage of Toronto. Many netizens have come to Toronto one after another. The only reason is lanli“ "Buried alive" naturally became their choice.

It's true that "buried alive" can't be regarded as the top in terms of media reputation and the work itself, but everyone ignores a core point: lanli. Even Andy Rogers ignored it.

When Chanel reacted, he noticed that he had been surrounded by the surrounding teams.

As the queue is "s" shaped, with the continuous progress of the team, the people around them will always change. However, no matter how they change, they can't wait to talk with Chanel. Some people also participated in the premiere to share with her the experience of the day; Some people watched the only show yesterday morning, eager to find someone to discuss the film; Of course, most people haven't watched it, so some people talk about "the Pacific War", some people talk about two singles, some people talk about Langley Hall

The team around Chanel has never been reduced. The crowd has changed one after another. After a turn, the little friend who just said goodbye meets again. Then he picks up the topic he interrupted before and continues to talk. In the back, even without "buried alive" and lanli, everyone exchanged their views on other films, and the discussion was hot.

At this moment, Chanel really felt the enthusiasm of the Toronto Film Festival, and even some of the audience have gray hair, they are Canadians, before and after attending the Toronto Film Festival has been up to 15 years, every year unremitting, rain or shine, that pure and simple heart is moving.

Before she knew it, it was four o'clock in the afternoon. Chanel didn't realize the passage of time. Even if she ate or didn't eat lunch, her memory was a little vague. She vaguely remembered that everyone took out sandwiches, hamburgers or soda biscuits prepared in advance to eat, but she didn't remember what she had eaten. If it wasn't for her smoky voice, which reminded Chanel that she had been chatting tirelessly for hours, she thought it was only half an hour.

"At last." Tyrone's voice sounded again, and Chanel looked forward. Sure enough, there were less than 15 people left in front of them, and the long wait was finally over.

With the team quickly forward, when it was Talon's turn, the conductor showed an apologetic smile, "sorry, the 'buried' seats have been sold out."

"No!" Before talon and Chanel could speak, the others in the back heard the reply, folded their heads and crouched down to wail, "how can this be?" They've been waiting for six hours - a lot more, but still can't see it? It's just so devastating.

Talon didn't react. He was stunned for a moment. The reaction arc slowed down for half a beat. Then he began to howl, "no way!" Tyrone's smiling face suddenly collapsed, just like a melting candle. "Doesn't it mean that there are more than half of the tickets left in this movie? Doesn't it mean that nobody saw the film at all? Isn't it a venue for 600 people today? How could that be? "

The conductor seems to have been used to this situation for a long time. He shrugs helplessly and says half jokingly, "just look at the team behind you."

Looking around, we can see that there are at least 400 people in the mighty team, and even some people have just arrived at the scene.

Chanel, after all, didn't hold back. She went directly to tyron and asked, "but I checked. After today's show, there's only one left at noon tomorrow, right?" After getting a positive reply, Chanel's dissatisfaction broke out, "then look at the team behind you. How many viewers want to see this film? There will be only one last scene tomorrow, and then there will be no more. What does that mean? It means that most viewers don't have a chance to see it. "

The conductor opened his mouth to explain, but Chanel, who was angry, didn't give him a chance at all. "Let all the audience see high-quality movies and share the joy of watching movies together. Isn't that the criterion of the film festival?" Recalling the heated discussion with you just now, Chanel felt a sense of grievance. It's not worth burying the crew alive, and it's also not worth watching the audience who really want to watch the movie but can't see it. "Have all the tickets for the" city robber "been sold today? The film's queue today is not even one fifth of that of "buried alive", but for the next six days, there was a film every day. What does that mean? Is the official Organizing Committee of the Toronto Film Festival forcing all audiences to choose "city robbers" instead of "buried alive"

Chanel doesn't mean "city robber". In fact, she hasn't seen the film, so she doesn't plan to judge it. It's just that the "city robber" just hit the muzzle of the gun.

"Miss." The conductor is also very skilled in dealing with this situation. Almost every year, he meets several times. Most of the audience attending the film festival are enthusiastic film lovers, so they are naturally more excited. "If you want to apply for an extra show, you can communicate with the manager on duty next to you, and then report to the official, then the extra show can be realized."

Every year, there will be additional films, which is one of the popular signs of the festival. As a result, the Toronto Film Festival is totally open-minded to the extra show. Last year, six films were added. Among them, "treasure", which won the final people's Choice Award, added a full 11 games.

Chanel did not expect such a reply, and then standing next to Tyrone did not leave breathing space, turned to the team behind and cried, "add the game! Extra time! Extra time

Today's audience who are willing to come to line up early in the morning, they all know that there are only today and tomorrow left to bury alive. If they miss today, their hope for tomorrow will be even more slim. So when they heard Tyrone's cry, they all followed and cried out, "let's play!"

No matter whether the film "buried alive" is worth watching or not, they all believe that they can only judge after watching it. For now, they are eager to see the hot topic, but they can't see it, So does the significance of the festival still exist?

"Add it! Extra time! Extra time

Chanting wave after wave, Chanel can't help stirring up, raised his right hand, clenched his fist, waved hard, joined the ranks of everyone, "add field!" At this moment, they are one.
