On the morning of "Juno" landing in Toronto, Evan-Bell and Danny-Bauer formally reached an agreement that the 11th working banquet would be sold at a price of $6 million plus a 15% box-office bonus. To the North American distribution rights of "Slumdog Millionaire".

From Berlin at the beginning of the year, to Huina in the middle of the year, and then to Venice and Toronto recently, the number of film distribution rights transactions has dropped by nearly half compared with last year. From this, it can be seen that film companies around the world are cautiously watching. At the same time, the first year after the screenwriter strike must be cautious, otherwise it will not be as simple as losing money, and it is more likely to affect the plan for 2009 and even the next three years.

But Eleven Studios went the opposite way. From Venice to Toronto, Evan and Bell never stopped showing up in various movie theaters, and finally won "The Hurt Locker" and "Rachel's Wedding" respectively. Rights" and "Slumdog Millionaire" North American distribution rights.

In fact, there are only three works. This number is not much at all. Whether it is a large company or a small company, the North American distribution rights that acquire three works in one year cannot be regarded as "too many". But Eleven Studios are not used to it. This is the first time they have taken the initiative to make a move at a film festival, and they won three works as soon as they made a move, which is not a small feat. What's more, as of the current position this year, Eleven Studio has only produced and released three works: "High School Musical," "Robot Wall-E" and "Mamma Mia".

In fact, even if Eleven Studio will release all three works that have just completed the transaction this year, the number of works released by Eleven Studio this year will only be seven plus "Juno." This figure is also half of the large film companies. , there are only two more than last year's figures, this pace of development can be said to be cautious. But even so, the actions of Eleven Studios still attracted everyone's attention. It seems that Eleven Studios did not lose their heads because of the honor of being one of the seven major film companies last year. It's enough to get everyone's attention.

Following Katherine Bigelow, Jonathan Chemmy and Danny Ball also went to No. 10 Prince Street in New York. The three big names in the 11th issue will definitely not be easy at the end of this year.

"Juno" officially landed at the Toronto Film Festival and was enthusiastically sought after by the organizing committee and the local audience. Aside from Evan Bell's sky-high popularity, the whole film was shot in Vancouver, and Ellen and Page were from Canada. People, this has won the infinite favor of Toronto for the film.

After the movie was released, it caused absolute Nie movement. The "sounding sensation" mentioned here is the literal meaning. When the movie was over, the audience stood up collectively and contributed 25 minutes of applause, which lasted for a long time! It was the most enthusiastic response from Toronto since "Brokeback Mountain." Although the audience in Toronto has always been warm and hospitable, even the worst works will be greeted with a standing ovation, but the 25-minute round of applause made the organizing committee "helpless." unable to proceed

The thunderous applause can be called a tsunami of mountains and tsunamis, making all the words and praises dull.

The Toronto audience's pursuit of "Juno" even surpassed Venice. After all, it is Italy, which is slightly different from North America in terms of society, life, and ideology. This is Canada. The message, including every detail of the lines, resonated countless times. During the whole process of watching the movie, the scene was full of laughter, and some people even burst into tears. Although many people did not see any touching or sensational point in the movie at all, this is the charm of "Juno". All emotions were vented.

Since "Juno" has already had a group of male critics released in Venice, the number of film critics in Toronto is not too large. There are a total of nine film reviews, all of which are highly praised, which pushes "Juno" to a brand new level. High Point. This is also among the "old works" that met with audiences at film festivals such as Huina and Venice, the first work to usher in a word-of-mouth breakthrough in Toronto. "Juno" received much higher treatment in Toronto than in Venice, there is no doubt that Land became the most popular work in Toronto this year.

"Everyone has a judging standard of right and wrong deep in their hearts, but the film allows everything to be well vented, which is the reason for its success", "The actors in the film bring sharp and sharp She also has highly credible dialogues and innovative content in Xi Shi.", "The most influential woman in Hollywood this year is this 16-year-old pregnant girl. She has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. A mixture of extraordinary maturity and wisdom"...

Similar accolades were overwhelming in Toronto, and a comment from the official Toronto Film Festival magazine also expressed recognition, "Evan tapped into the infinite depth of our lives through Juno's perspective, divorced family, growth choices, sense of responsibility. . . . All the heavy and profound topics were integrated into the story by Evan in a light and exciting way. The sweetness of the viewing process runs through, but after returning home to calm down and savoring it carefully, the faint fragrance will have a profound aftertaste. ."

Not accustomed to the scene in Venice before, after "Juno" received good reviews in Toronto, it immediately set off infinite wavelengths throughout North America. After all, Toronto is the gateway to North America, and people are looking forward to Evan Bell's new work. The comments of Venice can be used as a reference, but it is not accurate, and the praise of Toronto has really entered the North American market, causing countless audiences to start asking about the release date of 'Juno' early on.

When it comes to "Juno" and "Slumdog Millionaire", who is more popular in Toronto, the results will come out after "Juno" is released. Evan Bell's appeal is unparalleled, and "Juno" is a powerful Strength over "Slumdog Millionaire. "Not only has become the darling of professional media, but also won the love of countless audiences.

People can already foresee such a scene: In the upcoming awards season, "Juno" and "Slumdog Millionaire" are the strongest competitors. Now, these two works are released by Eleven Studio, which has undoubtedly become the hottest topic.

The 33rd Toronto Film Festival came to an end soon, and in the end the only grand prize, the People's Choice Award, went to "Juno." In the audience's vote, "Juno" topped the list, and "Slumdog Millionaire" Ranked second, the competition between the two has formed.

After winning the Venice Golden Lion for Evan Bell, "Juno" went on to win the first Toronto People's Choice Award for Evan Bell, which is also the history of Eleven Studio. Winning the first People's Choice Award is truly impressive. This is definitely a double happiness for Evan-Bell! Of course, if the North American distribution rights of the three films are successfully won, and the loneliness of the Venice Film Festival and the Toronto Film Festival, the three-happy Evan Bell can be called a spring breeze.

Recall that in the period since the world premiere of "Juno", a Venice Golden Lion, a Toronto People's Choice Award, not to mention the overwhelming acclaim from 32 media outlets, Evan Bell won the After winning the first directing grand slam in his life, not only did he not stand still, but he rose up again at a more powerful speed, making people jaw-dropping. I originally thought that Evan-Bell had brought enough surprises, but I didn't expect that Evan-Bell would always have a way to surprise people even more.

After the Toronto Film Festival ended, as usual, the awards season is about to kick off. However, the situation this year is unpredictable, and no one can say for sure. Most of the competition seeds for the awards season have to wait until November to debut. It is conceivable that the art theater chain in November and December is absolutely chaotic; The works that have been released so far stand out, but there are some bizarre works, and this year's awards season is indeed difficult to see.

The two works "Robot Wall-E" and "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight" that have swept the box office and word of mouth in the summer season are currently leading the way. These two works are in terms of comprehensive media ratings and professional film critics' attitudes~www.novelhall. com~ is still the strongest competitor in the awards season in terms of box office, popularity and trend. But the former is a cartoon, and the latter is a comic hero commercial blockbuster, which are not the usual works of the Oscar best picture.

The two films that stood out from the four major film festivals were "Juno" and "Slumdog Millionaire." Neither of these films has yet been released in North America, so the overall situation is not yet clear, but it is worthwhile at the festival. The praise that said that Defying the sky also gave these two works a head start, especially "Juno." It is also the Golden Lion Award and the People's Choice Award, which is definitely a precursor to rebellion. But the problem is, the former is a story of a teenage pregnancy, and the latter is a Bollywood love drama, and this is definitely not a work that the old pedants of the academic school will love.

As soon as this shot comes, in fact, after the Toronto Film Festival, the future of the most popular works seems to be covered in a fog. Even the "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight", which is known as the "Lord of the Rings" in 2008, is currently It is still unclear, so that the major film companies have to consider and reconsider.

Originally thought that after three years of marriage, everyone finally had some confidence in the direction of the awards season, but never thought that a screenwriter strike would make the stable situation chaotic again. At present, it seems that the whole situation will gradually become clear only after most of the awards season's literary and artistic works are screened in November. This year's awards season, instead of the super melee of the previous year and the confusion of last year, is another confusing situation.
