Chapter 621

The North American film market is divided into five periods in a year: spring, summer, autumn, holiday and winter. Among them, summer stalls are also called Summer stalls, while holiday stalls and winter stalls are also award seasons. Among them, the summer stalls and holiday stalls are undoubtedly the box office winners every year, while the other three stalls are naturally dwarfed.

Thanks to the advance of the Oscars ceremony, the spring show has gradually begun to recover. In 2010, "Alice in Wonderland" delivered 116 million at the weekend box office. In addition, the fourth and fifth films of "speed and passion" also showed amazing box office ability in this period. Gradually, this period has become the third time to make money in the whole year.

Before the 21st century, winter stalls are the most unprofitable time of the year. On the one hand, the frenzy of the award season grabs attention. On the other hand, the freezing season makes people not interested in cinemas. There is a popular saying in Hollywood, "if you give up a work, throw it in January."

As of 2011, the opening box office record in January is still maintained by "Clover archive". The work made 40 million weekend box office when it was released in 2008, and no one has been able to break it so far. Thus it can be seen that the depression and desolation of winter stalls.

But at least, the winter show benefits from the noise of the award season, which is definitely the busiest time of the year. Many works also benefit from such attention and have made a lot of box office achievements.

The autumn Film Festival, however, has always lacked momentum. The rise of the Toronto Film Festival, in particular, has led to the departure of all journalists from the United States. In addition, the Summer Film Festival, which has just ended, and the new semester, which has just started, have made the autumn film show no improvement. Until 2011, there was no movie premiering in September, and the box office of the weekend could exceed 40 million. The box office record in film history was 35 million created by "love for Alabama" in 2002.

On the whole, the box office record of the winter premiere was 84 million in February 2004, while that of the autumn premiere was 50 million in October 2010. The gap is clear at a glance.

Now that the box office of the premiere in North America has exceeded 100 million, the decline of winter and autumn is still unable to reverse; And, quietly, the autumn stalls are replacing the winter stalls, becoming the most bleak time of the year.

Most of the works selected for the autumn show are aimed at the annual Halloween, and countless low-cost horror films have become the mainstream. The series of "chainsaw horror", "smart: Ghost" and "Jingsheng Jianxiao" have become the biggest winners of the show. Last year's "buried alive" is the same. It was released in late October. With the popularity of Halloween, it won a box office success.

This year is no exception.

Under the general competitiveness of the films released in autumn, the lion king, which re suppressed 3D and was released again, unexpectedly won the third consecutive title in September. However, the highest weekend box office of the whole month was only 30 million. Other award season series, such as "infectious disease", "warrior" and "penalty kicks into gold", are starred by Matt Damon Brad Pitt, Jude Law and other top brands have not been able to drive the box office market back. There was a howl.

Comparatively speaking, the Venice Film Festival and the Toronto Film Festival are very lively.

"George Clooney's new work" the killing of the president "has been well received again, and Ryan Gosling has been well received!"

"Roman Polanski arrived at water city with his new book 'killing'"

"Michael Fassbender has become the most powerful competitor for movie king with shame."

"Pot Maker, tailor, soldier and spy are expected to compete for the Golden Lion prize!"

"The Chinese language movie 'Peach sister' has won great praise

……

"Toronto Film Festival stars dim, George Clooney and Ryan Gosling rush to support."

"Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie arrived in Toronto. More than 1000 people gathered to pick up the plane and blocked the airport, triggering a frenzy of the film festival."

"Keira Knightley, Michael Fassbender and Viggo Mortensen landed in Toronto with their new dangerous way."

"The midnight crazy unit, the 'surprise' set off a wave of film watching, and the Toronto Film Festival ushered in the climax after its opening."

"The winners of the Golden Bear, Silver Bear best actor and Silver Bear best actress of the Berlin Film Festival have been separated for a time, ushering in a wave of praise, aiming at the people's Choice Award and aiming at the Oscar!"

……

From Venice to Toronto, the frenzy of news makes people feel the first heat wave of the award season. Many seeded players start to take the lead and seize the attention of the major media. Compared with the box office battle in the United States, these two festivals are much more interesting.

Not to mention the journalists, even the vast audience have focused on the two major film festivals. This year, the Toronto Film Festival seems to be in the dark, and there are not many hot topics of entries. However, the number of audiences has reached a new high, with more than 400000 people coming to Toronto to participate in the festival, Toronto has already completed the anti super of Berlin and Venice, followed Cannes, and occupied a place in the global film festival.

Among the numerous news, lanli, who came to Toronto Film Festival for the second year in a row, also became the favorite of the audience.

"It's the official Premiere of love crazy, and Langley hall, together with Jennifer Lawrence and felicity Jones, are on the red carpet

"The new generation of acting leaders, Langley hall and Jennifer Lawrence bring new works."

"Winner of the Sundance Film Festival Awards, landing in Toronto."

"In the movie watching frenzy, more than 600 viewers were unable to buy tickets for the premiere of 'crazy love', stayed at the gate of the cinema for a long time and refused to leave."

"Premiere craze," crazy love "is on the stage. There is a long queue of 850 meters! The 36th Toronto Film Festival welcomes the strong seed of people's Choice Award

"When I visited Toronto for the second year in a row, Langley Hall said," I began to feel the smell of home when I revisited my hometown. "

"It's very hot. The audience of the competition unit are looking forward to the movie most." crazy love "won the championship

"Langley hall beat George Clooney and Brad Pitt to become the most anticipated actor of the Toronto Film Festival."

……

For an independent film with an investment of only 250000 US dollars, the cost of publicity is out of the question. Even if the focus film industry takes over the distribution, on the whole, "crazy love" still can't be compared with those independent films with a complete production line-up. It's a miracle to win so much attention at the Toronto Film Festival.

But in fact, focus has been in operation since the beginning of the Sundance Film Festival. At the closing ceremony of Sundance Film Festival, "crazy love" successfully won the jury award and the Special Jury Award. It can be said that it is the biggest dark horse of this year's independent film. At that time, it has attracted a lot of attention and even become one of the important chips for the lanli to compete for the award season.

Later, lanli and Jennifer both won the nominations at the Oscars at the beginning of the year and became the representatives of the new generation. The two actors joined hands to play in a work, which was also a hot topic and attracted numerous attention.

Focus pictures specially edited two 30 second videos. One was the interaction between Jacob and Samantha in the movie, which was released as a trailer; One is to shoot the interaction between Langley and Jennifer in the set, which will be released as a behind the scenes gag. The two videos seize the right time, win a lot of attention, and make people have more expectations of "crazy love".

Then, the wave of the opening battle of the summer archives made Langley famous in North America. The name "Langley hall" became popular overnight. Then "speed and passion 5" showed a sweeping posture. The box office in North America exceeded 300 million. In the fierce competition, Langley hall became the third place in the box office of this year's summer archives, Even on the year-end box office charts, it's worth looking forward to.

Not to mention throughout the year, around the hot topic of lanli who never ebbed, every so often reminds people: this hot actor is rising strongly!

From January to August, it seems that there are endless topics to talk about every month. In September, the "crazy love" that has been waiting for more than half a year will finally land in Toronto for its official premiere. Those fans who have missed Sundance begin to celebrate in advance; Subsequently, focus film also decided to schedule the screening on October 7 in four cinemas in Los Angeles, New York and Chicago.

Step by step, I have accumulated more than half a year's enthusiasm and finally burst out on the Toronto Film Festival. People can't wait to see "crazy love". Because since the Sundance Film Festival, there has been too much praise for this work; Also because "buried alive" and "speed and passion 5" two works have proved blue Li's film selection vision; Because of the charm of this new generation actor, people can't wait to see his style in love movies.

So, the attention is so explosive!

Even more beautiful than George Clooney, hotter than Brad Pitt, more welcome than Ryan gosling. Langley hall landed in Toronto again, setting off another peak of the 36th Toronto Film Festival!

On the night of the official Premiere of "crazy love" in Toronto, someone lined up at the gate of the cinema 12 hours in advance, which proved that it was a wise choice. The long line made three rounds around the gate of the cinema, and it seemed that there was no end in sight or shortening in sight; According to incomplete statistics, at the peak of the queue, more than 1200 people queued at the door, hoping to see the film the first time.

Every year, the long queue is the most lively and strange scene of the Toronto Film Festival. It is not only the final winner of the people's Choice Award, but also many shortlisted films that ignite the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies. It shows people all over the world the love of Canada for movies and the hospitality of the Canadian people.

This year, "crazy love" has become the most representative work. The waiting team of more than 1200 viewers has valiantly announced the birth of another popular work!
