"Bang!"

With the loud sound of the drum kit, the whole big screen fell into darkness, and the screening room once again entered the absolute state of not being able to see the five fingers, and then the flowing jazz music flowed in the darkness again, perfectly connected with the drum melody, as if Fletcher and Andrew were still playing, but the elegant and gentle melody gradually melted and disintegrated the explosive tension just now, and the atmosphere slowly became soft and light.

Unconsciously, the tense muscles quietly relaxed, and before I knew it, my body had collapsed limply on the back of the chair, panting, as if I had just experienced a marathon, and now I urgently needed oxygen, but the violent rise and fall of my chest emptied all the emotions and feelings in my mind, and briefly entered a vacuum, not to mention my fingers and toes, and I couldn't even lift a thought.

The feeling of exhaustion after the shock baptism surged endlessly, even if it was "gravity", even if it was "detachment", even if it was "black swan", even if it was any work, it could not bring such a thorough and turbulent feeling, and it was as if all the strength of the body had been drained.

For a moment, just for a moment, they need to take a breath, think about nothing for a while, do nothing, just sit quietly and breathe.

Even Ethan Cohen had a brief fragmentation of his brain, because the amount of information was too large, too brutal and too rough, presenting a meteor storm in an unreasonable way, majestic and magnificent, and then there was a tinnitus in his ears, "beep", like an electrocardiogram after the heart had stopped, showing a straight branch, pushing all the chaotic thoughts in his mind to the sides.

In the dark screening room, jazz music is still playing, elegant and mellow, free and chic, the retro modern atmosphere is slowly spreading, and then the tense heartstrings gradually relax, before there is time to reflect on the afterglow of the whole movie, the pure shock has begun to explode.

Ethan had just gasped for breath when Joel Cohen, who was sitting next to him, stood up suddenly, clapped his hands in oblivion, and expressed his feelings in the most direct and effective way.

The "popping" applause looked a little dull and lonely in the dark screening room, as if it was a super bad movie and there was only one audience member in the audience.

Obviously, the audience was still in the stage of relaxation, and the jazz music was still flowing around the live sound system, so why did they applaud when they thought Andrew and Fletcher were still performing? Isn't this rude behavior to interrupt the performance? So what should they do now?

The faintly reverberating applause seemed lonely and lonely, but it only made the atmosphere more and more awkward and confused, and did not achieve the expected effect at all. But Joel was not discouraged in the slightest, and continued to stand as he should, and then continued to clapp, completely immersed in his own world.

Ethan raised his head and cast his gaze at Joel, only a faint silhouette could be caught in the darkness, and the facial expression could not be seen at all, but even so, he could still feel the excitement and excitement surging in Joel's body, so that his whole body was trembling slightly, which was from the bottom of his heart.

To this day, Ethan still remembers the first time the two brothers met Lan Li, it was at the Berlin Film Festival, they had a direct friction, it was not a good start, but time passed, Lan Li impressed them with his strength and talent, his attitude and persistence, and now he has further convinced them.

Suddenly, Ethan was a little tired of the academy's PR during awards season: since they didn't know how to reward such a good and excellent actor as Lan Li, it was up to them to express their admiration.

So, Ethan also stood up, staring at the big black screen with bright eyes, clapping his hands vigorously, and expressing his attitude with practical actions. Then, the reflection and afterglow in my mind gradually began to surge, and the numb and stiff nerves felt the shock again, this was the second wave of shock.

Immediately after, there was applause from Ethan's right-hand side, it was Robert Redford.

Knowing that he was in the darkness and couldn't see anything, Ethan turned his head and smiled a big smile in Robert's direction.

At this moment, subtitles began to appear on the big screen, "Screenwriter and Director: Damien Chazelle", and the darkness of the scene slowly dispersed, faintly revealing a jade-colored light, and the vision was still limited, but it was not blind, and then Ethan saw Robert's gaze.

Robert raised an eyebrow.

Ethan also raised an eyebrow.

The meaning in his eyes is simple and clear: this director is still a little young, but he has already shown his skills, and the future is promising.

At this time, a wonderful small detail can also be faintly captured in the line of sight, and the audience who gave a standing ovation at the first time, most of them were film peers.

Ryan Gosling, Jessica Chastain, Rooney Mara, Tom Holland, David Lowe, etc., from directors to actors to producers, everyone who appeared at today's premiere was already unable to hold back their excitement and excitement and gave a standing ovation.

Compared with ordinary audiences, they feel the power of the movie more clearly, and they also understand the struggle of the characters more clearly, because this is the only way in the process of artistic creation, especially the actors, for Andrew, for Lan Li, the derivation and interpretation in and out of the play make them jaw-dropping, empathetic, and the shock bursts out endlessly.

Not out of politeness, but out of respect.

The more they co-op, the more they understood the difficulties and hardships, and naturally the more they admired and admired, just like Joel Cohen, who couldn't wait to stand up, they also burst into heartfelt applause and cheers, just when everyone thought that "gravity" and "drunken folk ballads" had reached their peak, "Burst Drummer" set a new benchmark, which people can't help but look up to.

With the exception of Meryl Streep and Daniel Day-Lewis, what other actor can make people think like that right now?

Jack Nicholson and Robert De Niro and others have passed their golden years, and now their performances have lost the sharpness and aura of their peak, just like Jack Nicholson's performance in "The Departed", good is indeed excellent, but more often than not, it is repeating itself, and the same is true of Robert De Niro.

Perhaps, Lan Li can be regarded as another one.

So, it is rare to see that the audience has not yet reacted, but the film colleagues have already given a standing ovation, and this respect and admiration has once again made people feel the extension of the symposium frenzy; quietly, Lan Li is using one work after another, performance after performance, to break people's scruples about age, but also to break people's eye fever for EGOT, with absolute strength to lay an unparalleled professional foundation.

Meryl Streep is nominated for an Oscar for the 18th time this year and continues to break her own records, while Daniel Day-Lewis is already a three-time winner, but the recognition in the industry is still high...... When the strength reaches a certain level, the doubt will disappear and then evolve into a kind of worship and admiration.

The current Lan Li has not yet reached such heights, but it is on the road to such heights.

Perhaps, this year's Sundance could be a key turning point.

Then, Ethan and Robert withdrew their gaze at the same time and looked at the big screen again.

For many viewers, the subtitle list of the staff after the end of the movie does not have much meaning, because they can't understand it at all, but for film practitioners, this subtitle list is the best affirmation of all the work of the entire crew, and they will always insist on sitting in place and watching the entire subtitle list with a serious attitude, which is a respect.

"Blue Rite Hall".

The name of the first cast appeared on the big screen, not a list, but a separate list of Lan Li's names, marking the well-deserved status of the leading actor.

Ethan and Robert both increased their applause, expressing their admiration and appreciation for Lan Li, and then they realized that they were finally not alone.

The audience finally came to their senses and realized that Andrew and Fletcher's performances were over, and so was the "Burst Drummer" movie.

Shock and amazement swarmed like a tide, one after another, the audience stood up one after another, with warm applause to vent their emotions, the afterthought reaction made the emotional outburst become more and more hot and surging, the audience applause poured down, or mightily shook the entire screening hall, and continued to climb.

Wonderful!

Truly wonderful!

From the movie to the characters, from the story to the performance, from the physical discomfort at the beginning to the psychological discomfort in the middle to the sublimation of the soul at the end, the viewing experience presented by the whole movie is unprecedented, and the sense of immersion always lingers, and the drum beat seems to hit directly on his eardrums, exploding vigorously.

"Bang Bang!"

"Bang Bang!"

The tsunami-like applause continued to rise, gradually evolving into a hurricane, and the echoes of the stirring were superimposed on top of each other, and the whole audience could clearly feel the surging excitement/emotion, and then the applause continued endlessly, for a minute, two minutes...... Five minutes...... Ten minutes......

In a trance, Sundance evolved into Toronto, and the long-lasting applause seemed to see not a single shot, presenting the audience's viewing mood directly and enthusiastically.
