Chapter 624

After landing in the Toronto Film Festival, "crazy love" started the carnival mode of high praise. The official magazine's score surpassed "golden penalty" and "President's death" in one fell swoop, and temporarily lagged behind "one parting", which was affirmed by numerous media and professional film critics; There are 12 more shows in a row, but the demand is still in short supply. There is a long queue outside each show, and the popularity is high.

Langley hall and Ryan Gosling went to watch the documentary "twenty years of Pearl Jam". After they were accidentally recognized by the audience, the audience came to ask for photos and autographs. The distance from the entrance of the screening hall to the entrance of the cinema was less than 200 meters. They were still unable to walk out after 45 minutes, just like entering a magic forest, In the end, they had to refuse the request for photos and autographs and leave quickly, which was the only way to get out of trouble.

From film critics to audiences, and then to journalists, "crazy love" has been sought after in all directions. In the latest official audience survey of the Toronto Film Festival, Langley once again beat a number of competitors to become the most popular actor at the festival this year, with 85% of the women voting. We can clearly feel that a love movie has successfully made Langley a place in the female audience. Compared with Ryan's "blue Valentine's Day" last year, the effect has doubled.

Among the cheers, cheers and shouts, "love crazy" has become a strong contender for the people's Choice Award. However, when the Toronto Film Festival came to an end, the award was announced, but there was a big surprise. The Lebanon film "where can we go?" after the Cannes Film Festival gained numerous affirmation this year, it strongly included the people's Choice Award in Toronto, All of a sudden, there are calls for Oscars.

Since the beginning of the year, Berlin Film Festival has won the prize, the soft "one parting" ranked second in the voting, and the highly anticipated "crazy love" from Sundance Film Festival has been ranked third!

Although "a farewell" and "love crazy" both failed to win the people's Choice Award, it is certain that the performance of these two works is worth looking forward to in the next award season.

After the Toronto Film Festival came back with great reputation, "crazy love" immediately landed in the North American market. On October 7, it was screened in four cinemas.

This week's most eye-catching work is undoubtedly Hugh Jackman's "iron steel fist". This work with an investment of 110 million US dollars, even in the summer season, is also a competitive work, but finally moved to the cold autumn season. It can be regarded as Disney's lack of confidence, but it can also be regarded as Disney's hope to seize more market in the off-season.

In addition, even the works of the award season are not in a hurry to make their debut. October seems to be a vacuum period. The bustle of Venice and Toronto has just come to an end, and the hullabaloo of Halloween and Thanksgiving has not yet begun. If the works of the award season want to win more attention and leave more impressions, November will be a better choice. Even if you choose October to avoid gathering, Late October will also be more suitable.

As a result, only two works of art, "crazy love" and "pilgrimage road" were screened this week, and the coldness of the autumn show was fully displayed.

It is worth mentioning that last year's Sundance Film Festival, the "return from hell" who sparkled the documentary unit, finally won the opportunity to show in a cinema this week. Compared with "buried alive" which also appeared in Sundance a year ago, the current situation of "people returning from hell" is so realistic that people can clearly feel the bad situation of independent films.

In this lonely and cold atmosphere, the enthusiasm of "iron steel fist" has cooled down. After the premiere, the media's comprehensive evaluation was only 56 points, the freshness of rotten tomatoes was 59%, and the popcorn index was only 73%. However, the cinema score got "a", which is the only good news.

In the end, the premiere weekend of "iron steel fist" only yielded 27 million US dollars. With the blessing of such public praise, it is almost certain that the box office in North America will not exceed 100 million, which also means that the overseas market is the only hope to recover the super high investment. From summer to autumn, Disney is still unable to turn the tide and save the box office of the commercial film.

In contrast, the red of "crazy love" becomes more and more dazzling.

Among the 38 media, the comprehensive rating of the media is as high as 81 points, of which only one is negative, seven are neutral, and the remaining 30 are all positive! Such excellent evaluation easily surpasses lanli's previous two films, "buried alive" and "speed and passion 5", becoming the most outstanding film in his acting career so far!

Just to make a horizontal comparison, the media comprehensive evaluation of "love notebook" is 53 points, the media comprehensive evaluation of "ghost" is 52 points, the media comprehensive evaluation of "Titanic" is 74 points, and the media comprehensive evaluation of "blue Valentine's Day" is 81 points. In the same kind of love story movies, 81 points of "crazy love" reached the highest expected value!

On the other hand, because it's just a point show, theater scores can't be counted, so rotten tomato net and IMDB are the most direct embodiment of audience opinions.

The fresh index of rotten tomatoes was as high as 88%, and the score was temporarily at 7.9; The popcorn index is 81%, while the IMDB score has temporarily reached 7.8. The number of people scoring is just less than 4000, and the score is bound to fluctuate after that.

Compared with "love notebook", the only one behind is the popcorn index. When the latter was released in 2004, the popcorn index was as high as 85%, which also created a prerequisite for the box office in North America to exceed 100 million - audiences like the film. Now it seems that the audience also like "Crazy".

It can be understood that from the artistic point of view, "crazy love" has reached the level of "blue Valentine's Day", and will undoubtedly become a black horse in this year's award season; From the commercial point of view, "love crazy" is similar to "love notebook" which is the best box office performance of love movies after the millennium, which makes people have more expectations for the box office of movies.

Compared with "iron armor and steel fist", the art work of "crazy love" is obviously more interesting.

As a matter of fact, the movies of "crazy love" in the four cinemas are wildly sought after by the fans. In a trance, the upsurge of Toronto Film Festival seems to have spread to the whole North American continent. It blooms in Los Angeles, New York and Chicago, with an endless stream of viewers and heated discussions, which makes people seem to go back to a year ago, "Buried alive" is the grand occasion of the spot screening.

In this regard, "Chicago Tribune" ridiculed that the autumn season seems to belong to the Langley hall season.

"Crazy love" held in only four cinemas successfully handed over the outstanding data of 52000 US dollars per single library, which not only exceeded the box office of "buried alive" when it was screened last year, but also broke the ticket room score of 48000 US dollars when it was screened last year on "blue Valentine's day". Such data are similar to "sunny little beauty", "life in a glass of wine" and "blue Valentine's Day" "Wrestlers" and other highly acclaimed works are almost the same, causing a lot of applause.

It's incredible for an independent film whose publicity costs are infinitely close to zero. The focus film industry has not even had time to make efforts. The Academy's public relations in the award season has not yet started. With the appeal of lenley, the topic effect of lenley and Jennifer, and the praise of Sundance and Toronto, the focus film industry only needs a little push to create a new history with the $52000 box office——

The box office of love story film is the second largest in history, next only to Brokeback Mountain's $19000 miracle in that year, surpassing "rooms with a view", "blue Valentine's Day", "British patients" and "years of passion", ranking second in history!

Incredible, absolutely incredible! Did anyone expect that? Maybe, maybe not, but no matter what, when "love crazy" achieved such excellent results, it still caused a cry of surprise. At this moment, people really realize that after last year's "blue Valentine's Day", there will be a strong rise of love movies this year.

With a single box office of 52000, love crazy made 28000 US dollars at the weekend, ranking 23rd in this week's North American weekend box office rankings!

This is the only work with less than 100 screening venues in the top 30 of the list, and there are only four; It's worth mentioning that this is also the only one in the top 50 on the list whose production cost is less than one million US dollars, which costs only 250000 US dollars.

No wonder, compared with the disappointing performance of "iron armor and steel fist", the media spent more on "crazy love"; No wonder, after the Toronto Film Festival, the focus film industry can't wait to start the awarding season; No wonder the topic of "crazy love" began to spread on the Internet; It's no wonder that during the period when the film is still on demand, the upsurge of attraction can catch up with that of commercial films.

From Sundance to Toronto, and then to the box office of the check-in studio, "crazy love" keeps climbing, writing a song of praise for independent films, which is enough to make people look forward to the future of the award season for this work. But the problem is, what about the box office? This work is like "blue Valentine's Day", which continues the route of art movies. The box office in North America is only 9 million; Or like "love notebook", ushering in a box office victory?

In the second week of October, "crazy love" officially started its release! With a big hand of the focus film industry, the "Crazy" projection cinema has been upgraded from four to 2337, breaking the fixed pattern of gradual and orderly art films, and directly using art films for commercial film.

Is this bold or aggressive?
