Chapter 622

Just a year ago, "buried alive" landed in the Toronto Film Festival and emerged as a dark horse. Even in the face of "social network" and "the king's speech", it still occupied a place and caused numerous discussions; One year later, "love crazy" landed in Toronto Film Festival, but the name of Langley hall has become the focus of attention.

"Speed and passion 5" box office of 300 million in North America is still fresh in my mind, "crazy love" also carries the momentum of the Sundance awards. Under the ardent expectation, it comes to Toronto strongly. Even the "presidential Massacre" in Venice and the "one parting" in Berlin can not be compared; Lanli's popularity can even be compared with that of George Clooney and Brad Pitt, and it has been enthusiastically pursued by the local audience in Canada.

A year, earth shaking!

Before the premiere of "crazy love", the huge queue easily exceeded the record of this year's queue set by "the president killed the bureau". After the opening ceremony, the slightly dull festival atmosphere finally broke free and erupted like a volcano; On the red carpet of the following premiere, there were a lot of people, one after another, showing the spectacular event of blue ceremony to the whole world.

With an interview lineup of up to 300 journalists and more than 1500 onlookers, there is no doubt that "crazy love", a work without stars, costs and gimmicks, has replaced "the president's death". It has become the hottest premiere ceremony since the opening of this year's Film Festival. The enthusiasm ignited by George Clooney last night has once again risen to a higher level.

It is worth mentioning that this "unknown" film has ushered in a starry red carpet with the attendance of Ryan Gosling and Paul Walker, which is expected; The appearance of Seth Logan, Lamy Marek, Gail gado and rose Byrne is no accident; The presence of George Clooney and Gary Oldman triggered the agitation of journalists one after another; Finally, when Scarlett Johnson appeared, there was a tsunami like reaction!

Everyone is speculating about the relationship between Scarlett and Langley. In the interview, George and Gary expressed their great interest in the movie "crazy love", so they just paid a special visit. But what about Scarlett? Faced with the question of long guns and short cannons, Scarlett said, "I'm friends with Langley. Before, he extended a helping hand to me. Since then, we have become friends." That lingering profound answer, let all reporters are fried pot.

The reason is simple: Jennifer? Or Scarlett?

Before "crazy love" landed in Toronto, reporters were constantly hyping about the golden couple of lanli and Jennifer. The two new generation acting representatives are of the same age and rise at the same time. Before the Oscars, someone joked that they could get on the red carpet together. Unfortunately, lanli was absent in the end. Now, the movie "crazy love" starred by two people is about to be released, and it's still a love movie - reporters don't care if the heroine is actually felicity, they just focus on these two people.

Gossip, without hype, is already lively.

But now, a Scarlett? Now there will be a good play. Later, when Langley and Jennifer appeared on the red carpet, the reporters could not wait to get rid of the problem. As a result, both of them burst into laughter.

"Lenley warned me before that this would definitely happen," says Jennifer. I heard that last year you also reported the affair between Langley and Ryan Gosling? " When answering the question, Jennifer laughed all the time. "So, are you letting me take the place of Ryan now?" This way of refutation, full of humor and ridicule, denied the reporters' speculation.

As for lenley, he is more serious, expressionless, "I and Jennifer are not even friends." This kind of reply sounds cold and heartless, but after savoring it carefully, we can see the irony and banter of Lan Li. On the contrary, it's hard for reporters to understand. But it's certain that Langley's personal relationship with Jennifer is really good. Is it an affair? It's a huge question mark.

"Scarlett?" The reporters' fierce pursuit made Lan Li show a meaningful expression, "I should confirm with my agent first. Can I say this news?"

So, is this an admission or a denial? The reporters were confused by Lan Li. After questioning for a long time, there was no ambiguous answer. On the contrary, it was like a guessing game. What is this? Do you have homework?

It's a pity that the reporters didn't continue to ask questions, because the audience at the scene heard the help of the tsunami, the earth shaking roar, the thunderous cry, the collapse of the crowd, which not only showed the enthusiasm of the Canadian people, but also showed the fanaticism beyond George Clooney.

The voice after voice of "young master" was hoarse, affectionate and powerful. This makes everyone show a look of surprise. The rise of Langley is really fast, but a "speed and passion 5" is not enough. It's not so easy to surpass George Clooney and Brad Pitt. What happened in the time and space they don't know?

Even Lan Li himself was surprised.

In response, the official magazine of the Toronto Film Festival said, "starting in Toronto, Langley has a second home outside London."

In a simple word, it tells the truth“ Burying alive "is the first film of lanli, which was first performed in Toronto. Lanli also went to the whole world from this film festival. Local media and local audiences all regard lanli as" the actor who goes out from here ", as if they are the stars who are popular in their hands. Now they are back in their hometown, and the treatment they give is naturally different. This is also a special treatment that George, Brad and others cannot enjoy.

Invisibly, people's expectations of "crazy love" have gone up to a higher level. The word-of-mouth accumulated from Sundance is about to move, waiting for the outbreak.

Expectations are getting higher and higher. It's a double-edged sword. It can be good or bad. On the one hand, people's trial will be more severe, just good, which is not enough to meet such a high standard of expectations, we must achieve excellence; On the other hand, under such high expectations, if the work is still satisfactory, the praise and praise will double, five times and ten times.

Standing in the spotlight, enjoying the praise and pursuit, naturally we have to shoulder the responsibility and burden. However, facts have proved that "love crazy" is absolutely worthy of its reputation, and successfully continues the media heat wave in Sundance.

After the premiere in Toronto, "crazy love" ushered in a wave of praise.

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun was absent from Sundance, but he did not miss Toronto. He not only gave a pertinent evaluation of 88 points, but also gave a full recommendation of four stars, believing that this is a "not to be missed" masterpiece.

In the commentary, Roger said, "once again, Langley hall has proved that he is the most powerful and potential performer of generation Y with practical actions."

Instead of "actor", a popular means of expression, Roger chose "performer", which is full of artistic atmosphere of the highest evaluation, which is tantamount to distinguishing Langley from other actors. Such treatment, even Natalie Portman did not get. It can be seen that Roger's admiration for Langley has gone up.

"There is a delicate and tough, turbulent and introverted force in Hall's performance. The natural temperament from the inside out endows love crazy with a fragile and profound, moving and beautiful temperament.

Different from the original, powerful and vivid performance of burying alive, Hall's performance has been introverting and pressing inward. It seems that he has done nothing, but it has virtually awakened everyone's deep feelings in his mind and memory, handed them to the story and the audience, resulting in different reflections.

One of the best scenes in the movie is hall's rival to Lawrence's. He said goodbye to his girlfriend in London, returned to Los Angeles, but lived with another woman. In the movie, the director doesn't use any lines, lens and pen and ink to explain the cause and effect. He just relies on Hall's performance, but tells the whole story: he and his girlfriend have broken up, and he starts his life again. However, his memory always stays in the past. When he really realizes that parting has become a reality, he is at a loss and vulnerable, In a flash, but deep.

Just by virtue of this play, hall once again declared his unshakable position as the new actor king!

Apart from the commercial performance of "speed and passion 5", Hall's two independent films show different faces, different ways and different touch. His understanding, reflection and interpretation of the characters are unique in the new generation. "

Later, in the columnist's comments, Roger paid more than half of his praise to lanli.

At the end of the review, Roger said, "crazy love is an excellent film, and it's also a private film. He shows the heartbreaking and infatuated love between Jacob and Anna, and the feeling of regret but helplessness is undoubtedly the biggest highlight. However, the performance of Langley hall makes it possible for this excellent work to become a masterpiece. "

"Possible" is only possible. It can be seen from Roger's score. Eighty eight points means that it is not a masterpiece. Nevertheless, the positive comments of the Chicago Sun made a good start for "crazy love".

In fact, this is not the only positive comment. After the premiere in Toronto, a total of 14 media rated "crazy love" - this number is not much, but not including those media that have already scored in Sundance. After such calculation, it is not only "not much", but "very much".

It's unbelievable that 14 media have all the praise! At the beginning, when I was in Sundance, three media gave me bad comments and made sharp and cold criticism on "crazy love". But this time in Toronto, I received 100% praise. Even if it was a kind and friendly Toronto, such achievements still caused a lot of exclamations.

Everyone really felt: Langley hall, once again created his own upsurge!
