Bradley is not sure if he made the right decision.
Recently, the news about Langley has been very lively, but "buried alive" is only a small cost independent work. Even with the prestige of Toronto and trilliureid, its position in the award season is still uncertain, not to mention the "127 Hours" of similar types. In the long award season, it is not easy for any work to come to the end.
It seems unnecessary to attend the "live burial" midnight screening at the first time to interview the audience's thoughts and find out the response of the audience. It is estimated that there is no interview material worth reporting. For independent art films like this, the report of grabbing the afternoon and night show is useless. They can wait for the critics to lift their word-of-mouth, Then the rotten tomato and IMDB were reviewed, and further follow-up reports were made.
Reason told him so, but emotion gave a different answer. Bradley thought of the startling glimpse at the premiere of the Pacific War, and instinctively chose to attend the midnight show; He even made psychological preparations. The midnight show was empty, with only two or three kittens, so he regarded it as his contribution to the box office.
Never thought, never thought, under the impulse of the sixth sense of choice, but met a huge surprise.
Bradleyton got excited, looked at the noisy ticket hall in front of him, and began to chat with the audience.
Most of the audience are driven by curiosity, specially come to see "blue - hall" is where sacred.
In recent years, the rise of Langley has been too fast, and the discussion about Langley's family background has been endless. Although the praise of "buried alive" at Toronto and triliureid film festivals has solved the doubts to some extent, the discussion revived after the news of "speed and passion 5" came out.
"Buried alive" has become the best medium. If lanli's performance is really praiseworthy, no matter whether lanli has a strong backing or not, at least his strength can silence the voice of doubt; But if Lanley's performance is not satisfactory, things will become interesting immediately. As soon as the "Pacific War" has just ended, Toronto and triliureid have begun to pursue it. Lanley's backers are absolutely extraordinary.
As a result, supporters, opponents and good doers began to rise one after another, forming a new force for the midnight scene.
A small part of the audience is the fans of "Langley hall". Even if they have not reached the level of fans, they are at least the audiences who look up to Langley because of the "Pacific War". Their expectations of "burying alive" have been broken.
Bradley heard an interesting point: "don't you think the young master's Cleopatra is a supplement to his role in the Pacific War? Or understanding. " Standing in front of her, the petite but energetic girl said with bright eyes, "that kind of Bard like temperament makes people feel the vulnerability and confusion in Eugene's heart."
He remembers that this girl just introduced herself. Her name is hope.
"So that's why you like him? His music, and his performance? " Bradley thought it was a new perspective.
In fact, Bradley had the same idea when Lanley released two singles before: is this guy Disney or the new generation star promoted by Warner Brothers? From actor to singer? Otherwise, the recent development path is really weird.
But after a careful investigation, there was no harvest. Bradley's doubts were stuck there and could not be answered.
Now, hope's explanation has opened a new door for Bradley. In this way, many things have been explained——
For example, after the release of two single songs, why there was no supporting publicity, even the music video was not filmed; For example, why didn't these two singles be sent to the radio station? The radio station's on-demand data is really poor. It completely depends on the powerful data of streaming media to let people know these two songs; Let's take another example. Why is lanli's film selection route so strange? After the "Pacific War", he successively took over two ultra-low-cost works of "buried alive" and "crazy love".
In the final analysis, these two singles are just the voice of Lan Li, just like the feelings of a minstrel. If Cleopatra is inspired by the Pacific War, then Ophelia is the Emmy?
Bradleyton was so excited that he thought 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 didn't understand what I mean. Whether it was his music or his performance, he injected his own things. He carefully studied, chewed, reflected, and then integrated his own talent, his own understanding and his own thoughts into it. That's why he works so well, and that's why I like him. Believe me, after you watch "buried alive" tonight, you will understand what I mean
Bradley was a little surprised and even stunned. He obviously didn't expect that Lan Li, who has been in the public view for only half a year, has won such loyal fans with only one TV play and two singles so far. Moreover, his evaluation is so high and deep that it really makes people look at him with new eyes.
"Isn't that too much?"
This was the only thought in Bradley's mind, but before he could ask any further questions, there was a commotion at the gate of the landmark cinema. As a reporter's sensitive intuition, he turned his head conditionally and saw van diesel and Ludacris walking through the night.
There are enough surprises tonight, and now it seems that the surprise is not over!
As one of the few top action actors in Hollywood today, fan Na's muscular body has a high degree of recognition. As soon as he appeared on the stage, it immediately caused the audience's low voice discussion, and the excited agitation was boiling in the crowd. Bradley responded immediately and took the initiative.
Fan raised his head and crossed the turbulent crowd, trying to find the familiar faces of the crew.
In order to make news, lanli has invited the whole crew and invited 200 people to watch the film out of his own pocket. It's not unusual at all.
In his opinion, there is such an art film that critics clap their hands and cheer and are so excited that they want to eat all the chairs in the screening hall. However, the audience just doesn't buy it and has no interest in going to the cinema. They don't even have the intention to rent CDs. There are several such films every year in the award season. Obviously, "buried alive" is such a movie.
Therefore, he didn't care what medicine was sold in Lan Li's gourd. His only idea now was to deal with the occasion and go home as soon as possible. As long as he thought that he even took the initiative to send his new works to the door and praised them with a smile, his stomach was so hot that he almost vomited.
But why didn't you see the crew? It's less than 20 minutes before midnight. In order to get rid of the suspicion of "big name", Christian deliberately asked him to arrive at the scene 20 minutes in advance to show his friendliness, but he couldn't find any familiar faces in his sight. What's the matter?
"Van Ludacris." Bradley's steps had come to the two men and said, "how did you show up? Did you come here to watch an old black and white movie in the middle of the night? " Bradley deliberately didn't mention the news of "buried alive" and "speed and passion 5" shooting. The whole North America knows about it. How can he not.
Fan knows the reporter in front of him. He doesn't remember his name, but he knows whether he is a reporter from the "New York Times" or the "New York Post". No matter which one is, it's the top media. He can't offend easily.
So fan showed a warm smile, "don't you know? I've come here specially to support lanli. " Fan felt that his stomach was rolling, and every inch of his skin felt uncomfortable, as if it would explode at any time. "I've watched this movie before in triliuride, and it's so wonderful that I can't put it down. Today, the movie is officially released in the United States. How can I not support it? What's more, lanli is now the most important part of the cast. "
Fan almost bit his own tongue. He hated Lan Li to the core! That son of a bitch's shit should be as far as you can go! But, tonight, he can't lose his temper. He can't help shivering at the thought of Christian's threat. He should not only behave appropriately, but also give his best praise.
"If it's necessary, I don't care if you hug, give a face to face gift or kiss with lenley on the spot. You should try every means to make Neil and Lang feel your sincerity. This is not a propaganda for 'bury alive', but a PR for 'speed and passion 5'! You have to know that it's not just you who are uncomfortable. If you give lenley a close hug, his rejection will never be less than you. So, let him feel unbearable, let him take the initiative to resist your intimacy, we can turn the situation around! "
He doesn't want to hug lenley, but at least he can show his friendliness.
"As a matter of fact, our entire crew will come here today. It seems that I am the first one. I can't wait Fan rubbed his palm and said enthusiastically.
Bradley's eyes widened. That's the real surprise tonight“ So, the whole "speed and passion 5" crew will be here tonight? "
Fan turned his head to look at Ludacris, and both of them laughed. "It seems that Langley is a modest guy. Yes, he packed two screening halls and invited all members of the crew to watch. I was worried about whether it was because the box office of the film was really worrying that I made such a move. Now, I think too much. Ha ha, ha ha. "
