When the curtain came to an end, the first reaction in my mind was shock, and the visual and auditory shock made the brain fall into a brief blank space and lose the ability to think, but after gradually coming back to my senses, I stripped off the shocking straight line effect, and the afterglow of reflection burst out little by little:

Why is it shocking? Is it just because of the drumbeat? Is it just because of the performance? Is it just because of the confrontation between Fletcher and Andrew? If not, then what is the deeper connotation? Where does the afterglow and reflection come from and what does it mean?

Is the brilliance of this film just at the first level, or can it be explored and excavated further?

At this moment, the first audience question threw a heavy blow, but they didn't expect that a stone would stir up a thousand waves, and the treasure was excavated from the answers of Damien and Lan Li, as if carefully knocking on a corner of a shell, and then the pearl brilliance in it had already leaked out, making people so excited that they couldn't help but start shaking.

With a clue of killing the father, the entire artistic creation and the sublimation of the ideological core are connected, and the plot fragments in the story and the ups and downs of the characters suddenly become clear, and then I can't help but start chewing on those plot details again, and even the details of the actors' performances.

This is a work with a "chewy".

"These are all Lanli's creative ideas. In the contemplative gaze of the audience, Damien took the initiative to say, and even Lan Li cast his gaze with a slight surprise - although "Killing / Father" is indeed his idea, but the main line and core of the story are Damien's creation, "In the process of creating the script, I was vaguely able to capture a core concept, but it was not clear enough, I knew what I was doing, but I still needed a little inspiration, so that that inspiration could be specific and clear." After Lan Li came up with the idea, everything became clear. ”

The audience's attention was once again on Lan Li: any praise for this actor does not seem to be too exaggerated.

Lan Li couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he must admit that praise can always make people happy, but over time it can make people arrogant, even if he is a human in two lives, he will inevitably start to swell, it is definitely not an easy task to be down-to-earth, his eyes flashed slightly, "Whew, the balloon is about to explode." ”

A little teasing joke to himself, and then Lan Li added, "Damien, we won't be in this year's awards season. ”

The subtext is that these PR rhetoric is better left for next year, or that the PR rhetoric of awards season is always polite and detached, sought after for the sake of popularity, without the slightest sense of authenticity.

The words are spoken by Lan Li, and understanding is the freedom of the audience.

The audience burst into low laughter again.

"Damien, why don't you consider me then? I think I'm worth the effort. Simmons also interjected a rare joke, and the laughter on the scene became more and more turbulent, and even a few whistles could be heard, and the atmosphere in the screening room was relaxed and lively again.

Damien himself couldn't help but laugh.

Before the crew members continued to ask questions, the audience couldn't wait to raise their right hands high again, and the enthusiasm for asking questions continued to erupt like a hot spring, pushing the atmosphere of the premiere to another high/climax.

The first question opened the conversation, and then all the questions gathered, and there was no end in sight, and the original 30-minute question session turned out to be nearly 90 minutes, but it still could not be ended, the audience was really too enthusiastic, the point is, Damien, Simmons and Lan Li also enjoyed it all the time, and the enthusiasm for the heated discussion was not inferior to the symposium.

If Robert Redford hadn't taken the initiative to take the stage and forcefully interrupt the question, with the sentence "Leave a little work for the journalists", this would have brought the hot premiere to a successful end, otherwise the event would have continued endlessly.

The inside of the premiere was extremely noisy, but the reporters and fans outside the screening hall suffered a lot, gathered at the door, waited and waited, waited and waited, but they never saw the end of the premiere, and the impatient emotions had gone through the vicissitudes of life—calm and turbulent, turbulent and calm, ups and downs a few times back and forth, and then the torment and torment finally ended.

"How?"

This is a question mark in almost everyone's mind.

Since the "Burst Drummer" project was officially confirmed, because this is Lan Li's first work as a producer, the bustling scorching focus has never cooled down, unlike the excitement of commercial films - the shooting crew is always surrounded by reporters and fans, social media is always photos and videos at the same time, and the attention of independent films is more of an expectation - looking forward to the big hit, looking forward to the stumble, and looking forward to the repercussions after the work comes out.

With the gradual increase in the prestige of Lan Li, the gradual explosion of Lan Li's popularity, and the gradual accumulation of Lan Li's reputation, "Burst Drummer" has deservedly become the first topic and first expectation of Sundance this year.

How is this work?

Now that the mystery has finally been revealed, how can the audience not be excited?

"The biggest look forward to 2014. ”

"I can't describe it, but I know that I will regret missing it. ”

"Take your hat off and salute!"

"I hate this movie, and I love it. I think I'm definitely insane by now. ”

"Show of the Year!"

"Brainstorming! There are so many thoughts in my head right now that I need to sort them out. ”

"Lan Li did it! Lan Li really did it! Break through himself again! Can you imagine? I have begun to strongly doubt my judgment now, what else is there he can't accomplish?"

"I know I know, it's a cliché, but ...... God, even though I hate this myself, the truth is, Lan Li's career is the best!

"I don't know. I'm having a lot of mixed ideas right now, but one thing is for sure, I can only make a judgment if I go to the cinema and watch it myself. ”

"Bow down! I only have this one thought about Lan Li. ”

One question, a thousand answers.

The square at the entrance of the entire cinema presents a scene exclusive to the film festival: countless movie fans, as well as film practitioners such as directors and actors, just stand in the ice and snow, eager to share their ideas, or argue or exchange or discuss or exchange, all kinds of ideas are spewed out, interweaving a unique picture of heat on the snowy streets, becoming the most beautiful footnote of the Sundance Film Festival.

There is no need to wait for media feedback, and the reaction of the audience at the premiere is the best review, which also makes the anticipation of the film blow out again, even more surging than before the premiere, climbing to new heights, but the excitement of Sundance has once again caused a counterproductive effect on social networks.

Don't forget, one of the ideas that runs through this year's awards season is that it is the so-called political/political correctness to go against the blue ceremony.

As an independent film festival, Sundance has a specific group of participants and followers, and their ideas and opinions are often difficult to shake the mainstream thought, not to mention the audience who has not personally attended the symposium, the audience who has not watched the "Burst Drummer" live, and the audience who has not been in close contact with the Blue Ceremony...... Dissatisfaction with the status quo is understandable.

"To be honest, which of Lan Li's works is not the year's expectation? It's boring! Nowadays, reporters, apart from chasing Lan Li's stinky feet, can they have a little novelty? If a reporter scolds Lan Li's work, that's news, okay? What is the annual expectation? I don't like 'drunken country ballads', it's ugly to death. #对蓝礼说不"

"It's the same, and I strongly doubt that I have bought off the reporter's washing/drafting. The Hollywood news right now is simply disgusting. Could it be that except for Lan Li, all the other actors are dead#对蓝礼说不?"

"Yes, yes, I know that Lan Li is very powerful, yes yes, I know that Lan Li has a new work, yes yes, I know that this is absolutely not to be missed. But! I! no! don't care! Don't swipe anymore, okay? I please! I just have to my stomach to my stomach just by seeing the name of Lan Li-Hall! And I have no intention of losing weight. #对蓝礼说不"

The Sundance Film Festival is in full swing, but a number of anti-blue gifts have appeared on social networking platforms, "Say no to blue gifts", which has exceeded 100,000 in less than three days, and has appeared on the list of global hot topics.

In response, Andy Rogers commented, "The second phase of the academy's PR has begun. ”

No one would believe it if there was no awards season in the wake of this, but the reality is that there has been a violent backlash across North America in the run-up to the symposium and the premiere of "Burst Drummer."

It can be said that the eyes are red, you can say that jealousy can be said to be too much, and you can also say that there are many people who are popular, but no matter what, this is a thing that has no solution and does not need a solution, time and facts will prove everything, those who belong to the blue ceremony will still come, and those who do not belong to the blue ceremony will not be able to stay after all.

In addition to the competitors behind the rapid popularity, the main reason for the rapid popularity of the hashtag "Burst Drummer" and the Sundance Film Festival is now on the cusp, and after the popularity of the symposium, all eyes naturally converge on the film.

Aside from the rejection and resistance of some netizens, a movie is still a movie after all, whether it is good or bad, it still needs to be judged by professional film critics, or it needs to be judged by the general public.

Some can wait, some take time, and some remain forever.

Fortunately, the "Burst Drummer" does not need to wait.
