Chapter 1504

Three years ago, lenley appeared at the Toronto Film Festival with her first film "buried alive". At the beginning, this work failed to attract much attention. However, after its release, it set off a wave of praise and discussion. Finally, it was faced with the situation of continuous demand exceeding supply, which became a rare experience for lenley to enter the international stage for the first time.

Three years later, Langley came to Toronto Film Festival again with his new work gravity, bearing the praise of Venice Film Festival. Before he arrived at Pearson International Airport, Toronto could not wait to set off a movie watching frenzy. The fans even made the slogan of "welcome home" and eagerly looked forward to the top star's coming again.

According to incomplete statistics, on the day lanli and Alfonso arrived in Toronto, more than 1500 pick-up teams emerged at Pearson International Airport, just to meet the long-distance lanli. The grand and fanatical welcome team made people deeply feel lanli's high popularity!

You know, this is Toronto, not Venice.

In recent years, due to the correct policy of the Toronto Film Festival and the gradual decline of the Venice Film Festival, Toronto has become the second largest film sales market in the world after Cannes. Every September, major film companies in North America are more interested in coming to the neighboring Toronto to carry out publicity and promotion.

This year is no exception.

"Twelve years of slavery" by Brad Pitt and Michael faspin, "prisoner" by Hugh Jackman and Jack Gyllenhaal, "Philomena" by Judy Dench, and "August: Orange County" by Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts and Evan McGregor.

"Kill your love" starring Daniel Radcliffe, "speed romance" directed by Ron Howard and starring Chris Hemsworth, "Adele's life" which won Cannes Palme d'Or this year, and "father like son" who won the jury award, swept across a "beautiful city" in Europe.

Francois o'ron directed "beauty", Joseph Gordon Levitt wrote, directed and acted himself, and invited Scarlett Johnson and Julian Moore to star in "Don Juan" and Scarlett Johnson to star in "under the skin".

Stars gather!

The real cluster of stars also continues the strong performance of Toronto in the past few years. It takes only 90 minutes to fly from New York to Toronto, which is much easier than crossing the Atlantic to Venice. Even from Los Angeles to Toronto, it is also as simple. The same works are both shown in Venice and Toronto, Top stars can be absent from Venice, but never from Toronto. That's the difference.

Senior actors like Judy Andy and Meryl Streep, who have a certain age, are no longer allowed to travel freely due to the long-distance fatigue. In this case, the advantages of Toronto become more and more prominent.

It is against this background that the upsurge of 1500 pick-up teams took place. Against the backdrop of so many superstars, lanli's strong appeal and super high popularity are also revealed. At this year's Toronto Film Festival, Langley is the only actor with a pick-up team, and the only actor with a pick-up team of more than 1000 people in the past decade.

This is the power of Langley now!

And this is just the beginning.

"Gravity" is scheduled to officially premiere on September 12, which deserves to be the most eye-catching and expected work at this year's Toronto Film Festival.

As early as before the opening of Venice Film Festival, because of the strong appeal of lanli, the popularity of this work was high; With Venice's high praise all over the social network, expectations began to grow rapidly in a geometric multiple way, and continued to soar madly because of the arrival of blue rite.

The long queue of Toronto Film Festival has always been their pride, because this is the film festival belonging to the audience. Every audience is willing to express their love and enthusiasm for films with their own actions, especially this year.

On September 10, before midnight had passed 12 o'clock, there was a long line at the gate of the premiere cinema.

This is not unusual. More accurately, this should be the normal situation during the Toronto Film Festival, which can be seen every moment of the day; But then, this long queue has evolved into two teams in an orderly and distinct way. The most wonderful thing is that the fans of the two teams actually have a good talk——

What's going on? Isn't the second long dragon on the outside jumping in line? Over the tail of the first line, straight to the front of the line, it's really impolite, isn't it?

Curious fans go to the front, and then all the questions can be answered. There is no need to ask, because the two teams have been marked in front: the first dragon on the inside is the "gravity" queue; The second long dragon on the outside, which started about four hours later, is the waiting fans of Don Juan.

September 10, "Don Juan" global premiere ceremony; On September 11, gravity premiered in North America.

In short, this is the queue of two films premiering on different dates.

"Don Juan" has attracted much attention in the preparatory stage. This is Joseph Gordon Levitt's second work as a director in his career. Before that, he wrote, directed and acted in a movie called "spark" in 2009, but he didn't attract any attention at that time. Now it's not the same as it used to be. After "500 days with summer", "Inception" and "dream space", he has made great progress "Batman: the rise of the Dark Knight" and other works, he has become the representative of the new generation of literary youth.

When Joseph began to prepare for his second directing work, the media and fans gave him a lot of attention, and Joseph also made full use of his contacts in the industry. He found the positions of Scarlett Johnson and Julian Moore as the two leading actresses, as well as brie Larson, who is now unknown——

As a matter of fact, Bree has already shown her acting talent and ability in the "youth shelter" starring this year, which is also an independent film that lanli likes very much. Later, she won the Best Actress Oscar of the next year through the movie "room" in 2015.

After "Don Juan" decided to take the Toronto Film Festival as the location of the world premiere, all fans are looking forward to the sparks between Joseph and Scarlett.

Now, the movie is about to officially premiere. Naturally, no one wants to miss it. They come to line up for the first time, hoping to see the movie ahead of the premiere. This is the audience session, not the media session. But it is a happy thing to see the movie ahead of other fans.

But even the "Don Juan" audience, still can not "beat" gravity "audience. When they first felt the scene of the cinema, they found that the "gravity" which will hold the premiere tomorrow has already attracted more than 100 audiences and started the long march of queuing.

This... Is really amazing!

What's more incredible is that with the advance of time, the audience of "gravity" has begun to circle along the streets and buildings. At least 800 people have come to line up 24 hours in advance for the film, and their number is more than twice that of "Don Juan", This has had a serious impact on the order maintenance of the scene.

In fact, the order of the two teams is very friendly and harmonious. They keep their own teams orderly and orderly. If there is any mistake or confusion, everyone will take the initiative to help maintain order. There is no accident of crowding or trampling.

But the problem is that the team is too long, and tickets for the premiere are limited.

The organizers of the Toronto Film Festival have to send staff to the scene to try to convince the audience that there is no need to continue to line up now, because the screening hall simply can not accommodate more audiences. They are just waiting here in vain, which may lead to physical discomfort.

The festival officials promised that they would increase the number of "gravity" screenings, including IMAX, to meet the audience's viewing needs as much as possible; Now, I hope that the audience will not continue to queue up for the premiere. It's all about health.

But... It doesn't help. The commitment of the organizer still failed to shake the enthusiasm of the audience. One after another, the team continued to increase. Even though everyone knew that they could not enter the screening hall, they were still reluctant to give up.

After arriving in Toronto, Langley learned of such a grand occasion and went to the scene for the first time. He made close contact with the audience and expressed his thanks. At the same time, he also advised everyone not to wait in line blindly, otherwise there would be a health accident, which is definitely not worth the loss. "I'm looking forward to the box office success after the official release of the film in Canada."

Lanli's appearance undoubtedly triggered a frenzy of cheers on the scene. Whether it was the "gravity" audience or the "Don Juan" audience, he gave away the fans' welfare, took photos, signed autographs, hugged and shook hands. He also joked, "I sacrificed my time to watch the movie and came here, If you don't appreciate it, I will be very sad. "

A small part of the audience did turn away obediently, and the traffic jam around the cinema was alleviated temporarily. But soon after, the enthusiastic fans who heard the news of lanli's appearance appeared again, and the number of them doubled. No one wants to miss it.
