From New Orleans to Cincinnati, Langley drove there; However, due to the time and distance from cincinna to Los Angeles in advance, road travel is no longer suitable. Langley drove to the airport, took a plane back to Los Angeles, and quickly put into the final stage shooting work of "Jurassic world".
In the next period of time, lanli also entered a peak period of full acceleration, all-out efforts and global gallop. After the end of the publicity period of the summer archives, it became more compact again.
"Jurassic world" was successfully released on the third day after the opening of Venice Film Festival. After all shooting, it will enter the post production stage. This also indicates that the layout of Universal Pictures' summer archives in 2015 can already sound the horn. If there is no accident, this work will be the main force.
And, of course, speed and passion 7.
But Lan Li didn't even have time to attend the youth killing banquet. On the night of the announcement, he flew to the water city of Venice by red eye flight, preparing to attend the Venice Film Festival for the second year in a row.
Unfortunately, this year is still not the main competition unit, but the horizon unit. At the beginning of the year, the highly praised "pop drummer" at the Sundance Film Festival came to Venice to participate in the exhibition. Compared with Cannes and Berlin, Langley has not been shortlisted in the main competition unit of Venice, but has arrived in the water city twice before and after to publicize. This treatment can be described as giving Venice enough face, Compared with Cannes and Berlin, it is indeed the only one, which has also attracted countless eyes of Venice Film Festival.
Although it is not the main competition unit, the signboard of "Langley hall" is prominent enough, even the horizon unit is still the absolute focus.
More than 400 journalists and 2000 spectators came together on the day of the "pop drummer" exhibition. In addition, there was a crowd of onlookers. The noisy scene easily surpassed the movie palace where the main competition unit was located, and took away all the charm. If the main committee had not wisely staggered the screening schedule of horizon unit from the premiere of the main competition unit, Otherwise, the premiere of today's works is estimated to be a total failure.
This should be the first time in the history of the three major European film festivals that they have won such crazy attention in the non main competition unit. It is easy for Venice Film Festival to take away the attention. Finally, it is lively on the social network platform, which seems to reproduce the glorious dawn of the peak period.
But for Alberto Barbera, it is painful and happy.
Venice Film Festival has become a hot topic, which is a good thing; But countless netizens make complaints about it, but last year, they failed to let the "gravity" enter the main competition, and the result was one hundred million loss. This year, the "pop drummer" was not allowed to enter the main competition, and it is estimated that another 100 million will be lost. These two decisions are really... Crazy. "If the selection of the main competition unit is still such a failure, I'm afraid Venice will never be good."
Indeed, the heat of discussion of all the works in the main competition unit can't compete with a Langley, not even Jack Gyllenhaal, plus Andrew Garfield, Emma stone and Edward Norton. The deterrent power and influence of the name "Langley hall" is too strong, Coming to the European market is still a guarantee of popularity, even slightly better than Leonardo DiCaprio at his peak.
But the heat of this discussion happened in the horizon unit? Is this really good?
When the 71st Venice Film Festival came to an end, the most impressive thing for audiences around the world was the "pop drummer", but they didn't remember that the American film "Birdman", which was hot in the award season, also landed in Venice. They didn't even remember the direction of the Golden Lion awards or the works of the winner's competition unit. Is this really good?
Alberto is also full of bitterness, and he can't be sure whether Venice won or lost in the end because "pop drummer" didn't enter the main competition unit; What's more sad is that no matter whether he wins or loses, in fact, the decision-making power is always not in his hands. He is also powerless. In other words, whether he regrets it or not, he should have insisted on winning the main competition seat for the "pop drummer" at the beginning. Will the situation be different now?
"Pop drummer" is highly praised in Venice, and countless audiences have expressed their stranglehold. The failure of this work to enter the main competition is actually the loss of Venice, which is also the biggest disadvantage of Venice: it is not as flexible as Cannes, nor as firm as Berlin, and it has never been able to find its own position, so it has fallen into an inferior position.
Incidentally, Andrew Garfield and Emma stone, who attended Venice with their own works, also came to horizon unit to support blue ceremony, which also made "pop drummer" create more topics; But all this has nothing to do with the main competition unit, which is a pity.
Next, Langley attended the premiere ceremony of the main competition unit "Night Walker", specially for his good friend Jack Gyllenhaal. At the same time, it was also his first work as a producer but did not appear. It was also the second work of Sisyphus pictures, which attracted a lot of attention in all aspects.
In particular, many independent film producers in the European market are also looking forward to the emergence of independent film production companies in North America that really appreciate European artists. After all, North America is still relatively rich in funds, and has certain advantages in seeking investment, distribution, global promotion and so on. If Sisyphus does have lanli as a guarantee, not just a nominal name, then there should be a large number of independent producers and independent production companies in the European market willing to seek Sisyphus's cooperation.
Because of the appearance of lanli, the "Night Walker" who didn't attract much attention before departure easily completed the counter attack, and became the film with the highest media attendance rate, audience attendance rate and post show discussion rate in the main competition unit of this year, with a high degree of attention, which can be described as a surprise for Venice.
In the end, "Night Walker" also received numerous praise. Many professional film critics said that the quality of the finished product and the style of the work exceeded expectations, and the social issues were also very interesting; Unfortunately, the dark and bloody style seems to be more suitable for Berlin, and the possibility of winning a prize in Venice is much smaller.
However, Jack Gyllenhaal received a lot of praise and was praised as the best professional career since "Brokeback Mountain". His whole performance was completely transformed, which really brightened everyone's eyes. His infatuated and nearly crazy performance made people unable to recognize his true face. This is undoubtedly one of the biggest gains of this year's Venice Film Festival.
Numerous film critics believe that Jack Gyllenhaal has a chance to attack the Venice Film king.
In addition, there is one thing that can be confirmed: "Sisyphus has successfully launched the first shot!" Whether it's the "pop drummer" or the "Night Walker", both of Lanley's works as the producer have won the reputation level, which is undoubtedly a perfect start for Sisyphus pictures.
It can be predicted that Sisyphus film will certainly occupy a place in this year's award season. However, the two works are dark and bloody style, with a little overlap, but the themes and themes are different. The prospect of the award season is still full of many variables. It depends on how Sisyphus film and Sony classic launch the college public relations.
Langley did not wait until the closing ceremony of the Venice Film Festival. The day after the premiere of "Night Walker", he flew straight back to the North American continent and arrived in Toronto to launch a second round of publicity.
From the beginning of the Sundance Film Festival, "pop drummer" is one of the most anticipated works. After experiencing the baptism of the Venice Film Festival, the expectation value continues to rise. Now in Toronto, it has undoubtedly become the first in the audience's expectation list.
In the end... It really lived up to people's expectations!
The cruel and paranoid stories made many audiences scream, especially the blood splitting pictures; The dark and bloody role transformation triggered numerous discussions after the film, and the collision of values gave rise to a chilling fear and horror.
Like to have, resist to have; There are fanaticism and exclusion“ "Pop drummer" has not been able to meet the needs of young and old, but it has triggered a wave of film watching in the controversy.
On the level of liking, "pop drummer" may not be among the top three or even the top five; However, in terms of the popularity of watching movies, "pop drummer" has become the number one seed of this year's Toronto Film Festival. Since the "live burial" of that year, lenley's strong appeal in Toronto has only increased. This time, people feel the super popularity of lenley again.
This time, Langley also failed to wait until the closing ceremony of the Toronto Film Festival. After the premiere of "pop drummer", he immediately returned to New York to make some adjustments.
He cooperated with the New York Film Festival, received some special interviews and held a forum to warm up the arrival of "pop drummer" at the New York Film Festival. After only three days, Langley left again, returned to the European continent and returned to London.
Lanley's itinerary is a bit puzzling to outsiders, because in the next period of time, the focus of the award season will be on the tellywood Film Festival, the New York Film Festival and so on, while the London Film Festival will not be unveiled until the end of November. It seems unnecessary for Lanley to return to London in advance now.
In a trance, people almost forget that London is Langley's hometown. Because Langley lives in New York all year round, many people think that New York is Langley's home. In a way, this is true. Now, lenley really takes New York as his home; But, for some special reasons, he needs to stay in London for a while in order to protect his home.
As a result, blue Lee returned to London, put the uproar of the North American awards season behind him for the time being, and resolutely returned to the British Isles.
