If he had watched the film in the first place, if he was in Berlin now, if he had a face-to-face communication with those audiences... Then he would have stood up and argued. But in real life, there is no if.
Now he can only sit in front of his computer, across the screen, browsing those posts, full of curiosity, full of anger, full of anxiety, but nothing can help.
William seized his hair with great chagrin and impatience, tried to reply and say something, but looked at the computer screen and was in a daze. It seems that he has never thought that lanli's works may not be good-looking, may fail, or may encounter verbal criticism, as if the name of "lanli hall" is quality assurance, which has been proved by several previous works until now.
In my mind, I couldn't figure out a way of thinking. I kneaded my head with chagrin. I held the mouse again, exited the post and refreshed the forum, aimless and at a loss. Then I saw another post in my sight. It was just published about five minutes ago, and the publisher was surprisingly familiar with the user name of "Brando Mania".
William's eyes suddenly lit up, quickly opened a post.
"The 62nd Berlin Film Festival is unfolding in full swing, and the work I care about most is undoubtedly Langley Hall's" detachment ".
After the premiere ceremony, the first batch of word-of-mouth was hot. At present, "chaotuo" seems to have fallen into a mud bog of mixed praise and criticism, causing numerous disputes of support or opposition. At the same time, it also caused the fans to sigh and argue endlessly, as if the end of the world is coming. But I don't think so.
The birth of any art is always accompanied by controversy. Vincent Van Gogh's works are worthless in front of him; The peak of the Smith band's music came after their dissolution. " There are many cases of historical injustice, such as "the silver wing killer" and "the past of the United States.".
Of course, it does not mean that "detachment" can reach the height of these artists and works of art; The point is that the young master's choice of "detachment" itself means that he is trying to make more breakthroughs in the artistic level. Therefore, the criticism, denunciation, disgust and hatred are all expected, even welcomed with both hands raised.
Watching movies is a very personal thing. Just because other people like it doesn't mean they like it; On the contrary, other people hate, does not mean that they hate. What's more, I can like and hate a work at the same time, and it's hard to describe the mixed feelings.
After the premiere of "detached", it was only 24 hours away from now, which caused such a heated, crazy and fierce debate. On the contrary, I am not only not worried, but also more looking forward to:
What kind of work can produce such a strong effect? And what kind of work has won the young master's favor? What kind of work has caused such an uproar?
Apart from the "Pacific War", every work of the young master has a distinct personal brand. What I am more curious about now is what kind of performance he has contributed in this bloody work. To be honest, I'm more looking forward to the effect of Langley's role in a super bad movie of the universe than the controversy of mixed praise and disgrace. What kind of scene will that be?
Finally, by the way, it is said that this is the best performance of the young master's career
Brando's fanatical posts are always his (or her) style, clear-cut, clear thinking, always able to jump out of the circle and interpret calmly from different perspectives; Not only that, at the end of the post, a new watercolor hand drawing is attached.
On the hand-painted picture, blue Li, wearing a Cobalt Blue Polka Dot Shirt, sits in an open-air coffee shop. His eyes are bright, his smile is warm, and the lightness between his eyes and eyebrows makes the sun gentle.
This is the latest news picture of Langley at the Berlin Film Festival. William remembers that he saw it just now. The news seems to say that Langley ran into fans on the street and had a cordial and enthusiastic discussion about the film.
Thinking of this, William's mood gradually improved. As Brando fanatically said, Langley would not mind; What's more, he began to look forward to what happened to the movie "detachment".
As a result, the two sides put on the keyboard, thought about it, and began to knock, "the biggest feature of the Berlin Film Festival lies in their persistence and emphasis on art, politics, and social phenomena." the reason why "detached" was shortlisted in the Berlin film festival itself shows the artistic nature of the works and the tendency of controversy. From this point of view, it is obvious that the work is successful.
For young master, the most important harvest of this trip to Berlin should be the discussion with fans.
In addition, hand drawing is really beautiful! Like it
After the reply, William nodded contentedly, and then opened the post again. He revisited the angry, disdainful, critical, and condemning voices. Instead, he began to savor them with relish. In these different opinions, he pieced together the whole picture of "detachment" piece by piece.
Unconsciously, curiosity began to rise. William can't wait to see it.
Brando's fanatical posts, in just an hour, the number of replies has reached 3000 floors, and the hot index of attention has increased geometrically; At the same time, the last hand-painted picture was also released on the photo wall, and the 24-hour approval rate exceeded 200000, which became the fastest picture of Brando craze to get 100000 and 200000 likes.
The madness and boiling of influence can be seen; At the same time, the Berlin Film Festival on the other side of the Atlantic ocean seems to be a realistic portrayal of the clamour of the Internet. There are more and more controversies, and more and more expectations and curiosity. The audience entering the cinema is growing rapidly.
In terms of popularity and attention, Berlin Film Festival has always been unable to compete with Cannes and Venice, not only because of the ice and snow in February, it is not suitable for going out to watch movies; In addition, because the main competition units are always out of the way and out of the way, blockbusters are directors and actors who have never heard of them. Blockbusters are works from remote areas and countries. It's a technical job to select works.
Berlin has gradually fallen behind Cannes, Venice and Toronto in the audience flow of the film festival every year, which is also a serious challenge for the film festival.
The audience who are really familiar with the Berlin Film Festival often do not buy tickets in advance, but go to the cinema in person, read the magazine, do their homework, and then decide which work to watch. On the whole, ticket sales at the Berlin Film Festival are rare. This is also one of the dilemmas of the festival.
Today, however, Monika Hofbauer has not been able to get tickets for the movie. "What are you talking about?" She thought she had heard it wrong, but the conductor gave a positive reply again, "there is no show at three o'clock. Today, there is only one at eight in the evening. If necessary, there are three other theaters with screening arrangements. "
Monica opened her mouth and was stunned for a moment. "How is that possible? You mean, "detached," the movie that was so scolded that it seemed to offend the whole world? Doesn't it mean that the movie was so bad that the audience didn't like it after watching it? Why are all the tickets sold out
Be scolded miserably, shouldn't be ticket unsalable?
"Detached." God, don't watch that movie. It's a complete disaster. " A middle-aged man standing next to him, reading the magazine, inadvertently catches the fragments of words. Opening his mouth is a denial of shaking his head.
"The viewing process is very uncomfortable, but it's not a disaster." Another young man waiting for his friend said, "I don't like that movie. But I think it's worth seeing. Maybe there's something unexpected. "
"That's what I mean!" Monica spread out her hands, face helpless, staring round eyes, "since everyone doesn't like, why are the tickets sold out?"
"You're kidding." The middle-aged man showed an incredible expression, and then the young man standing next to him was also puzzled, "what's the matter with you? Is it to watch that handsome boy? It's not twilight! Wait, or do you want to see how terrible this work is? Curious? "
"Detached" is a movie worth savoring. You should know that everyone has the right to choose. " On the other side, a man finally couldn't bear it and began to argue.
"Poof. The right to choose garbage? " The middle-aged man's simple words are full of sarcasm.
"The right to choose to identify garbage." The young woman did not give in. "You think it's rubbish, but it may be a treasure to some people. Everyone may have different opinions about movies. As far as I'm concerned, it's an uncomfortable film, but it's undoubtedly a wonderful one. "
"Stop, stop!" Monica raised her hand to stop the quarrel. "I just want to see what's going on in this movie, why some people like it and some people don't. So there's no need for you to continue here. " Monica turned to the conductor and said, "then eight o'clock in the evening. Give me two. "
The conductor nodded, and Monica asked again, "do you have tickets at 8 p.m The conductor showed a bright smile and nodded in affirmation. "This is the sixth year in a row that I've come to the Berlin Film Festival. It's the first time that I've ever seen a movie sell. It's incredible," Monique said
"Yes, we obviously didn't expect it." The conductor said with a smile, "it feels like Toronto." German style cold jokes, in front of the German people have laughed, but other foreigners are full of fog, a confused face. In fact, the subtext is: the Berlin Film Festival is also a bit of Toronto's style, tickets are always in short supply, the queue is always busy.
In the silence of Berlin, it is indeed a long time to usher in a new atmosphere.
Monica took her ticket and said with a big smile, "let's see what's going on."
