349 Thunderous applause
William never knew that a happy ending could be so hurtful, and he never knew that a happy ending could be so cruel. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
There was a trivial sobbing sound in his ears, and he heard his nose sour for a while, and he didn't need to turn his head to know that it was Hope, not only Hope, but the girls around him were already crying and crying silently. But William didn't cry, compared to crying, dull and depressed is the truest portrayal.
The bitterness that tightened in his chest to the point of depressing, screaming silently, wanting to cry without tears, opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't make a sound at all. William didn't move his body, just sat quietly in the dark, enjoying the darkness like never before, listening to the vicissitudes of the song, and letting himself enjoy this moment.
In this moment, he wants to believe in love.
The orange light of the screening room slowly lit up, like a rein, pulling the audience out of the water from the depths of the water, pulling the audience from the movie to reality, the warm halo spilled down, so that the icy blood regained its temperature, and the dullness and bitterness that lingered in the chest slowly dissipated.
William couldn't wait any longer, and stood up at once, but he didn't succeed because of the numbness in his feet, and the whole person fell into the chair in embarrassment, but he didn't care, he supported the armrests with his hands again, adjusted his posture, stood up again, and then slapped his hands hard, patting his hands with all his strength, and a slight tingling pain came from his palms, reminding him how wonderful the movie was just now.
Graham looked at his friend who stood up in astonishment, because he knew how much William didn't like romance movies, and he knew how indifferent William was to such romantic stories, but now, William took the lead in a standing ovation?
This made Graham smile, and the heavy mood was slightly relieved.
But Graham has to admit that this is indeed a film that is enough to move every audience, and the delicate and real emotional transfer makes it easy for people to fall into it and can't extricate themselves. He is no exception. So, too, he stood up and joined William in clapping together.
More and more audience members stood up one after another, and the gradual change of applause from small to large made people feel the emotions surging in the screening hall just by their ears, how many people were silent, how many people could not extricate themselves, and how many people were fragmented.
Tessa realized her "backwardness" and looked up, finding that she had fallen into a "forest", and even Hope had already stood up, leaving her alone in a large circle of people. However, the collapse was still raging in his chest, and it seemed that he could not stop at all.
As soon as she remembered Jacob's last look, she would have been hit hard, as if she had unloaded all her weapons and equipment, standing defenseless in the midst of a hail of bullets.
Take a deep breath and take a deep breath again. Tessa burped twice heavily, only then did she calm down a little, she quickly wiped the tears from her cheeks with both hands, and before she had time to deal with her embarrassment, she quickly stood up and slapped her hands hard, unprecedentedly excited and excited, and even raised her hands high and gave the warmest applause.
In her sight, Tessa saw the crew members standing up, she saw Lan Li at a glance, and her shouting erupted uncontrollably, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
She likes Lan Li, not only because of Lan Li's temperament, not only because Lan Li's appearance is the type she likes, but also because of Lan Li's person, this actor.
Just relying on the time of a movie, she fell in love with Lan Li deeply, and the heartbroken and numb eyes were imprinted in her mind, and she couldn't help but depict that starry appearance in those eyes that were like stagnant water.
"Young Master!" Lan Li heard the call, and when she turned around, Tessa couldn't help but scream again, "Ah!" The excitement and excitement that could not be expressed in words continued to blow out, filling every cell in her body, full of happiness, she jumped up directly on the spot, waving her hands vigorously, "Young Master, the most handsome man in the world!"
Whether Lan Li heard it or not, Tessa didn't know, but it was certain that a circle of viewers nearby heard it, Hope, William and others all turned their heads, but Tessa didn't feel embarrassed at all, but showed a big smile, a determined look, nodded vigorously, indicating that she was not joking, and then continued to scream, "Ahhhhhhh
Applause, cheers, screams, shouts.
The whole screening hall became more and more lively, and finally all the audience stood up collectively, and the two hundred and fifty seats were folded, each of them expressing their respect and love for the crew in their own way. Especially when the crew members collectively walked to the front, the sound of the scene reached its peak, and even the roof was still trembling.
This is Sundance, not Toronto.
Sundance's audience has always been picky, and if it's a work they don't like, it's not uncommon for them to leave the show halfway.
Due to the particularity of independent films, the audience who is willing to come are professional and senior fans, and the audience like Tessa who just comes to join in the fun with enthusiasm has gradually increased in the past few years, but it is still only a small part.
Professional audiences have no intention of being merciful to independent directors, and have always looked at each work with a strict and harsh eye. Good work is bound to be sought after, even if it is a few years ago, and bad work is relentlessly hit, but the audience is not brainless in criticism, they can always give their professional opinions, hoping that the independent directors will make progress and shoot even better next time.
Therefore, directors are also willing to accept criticism and communicate with the audience.
At Sundance, the collective standing ovation is undoubtedly the audience's best affirmation of the film, the director, and the crew. At this moment, the crew of "Love is Crazy" is enjoying this honor.
The thunderous applause erupted with earth-shaking energy that could be felt even outside the movie theater.
The audience at the door, who were waiting in line to watch another movie, heard the roaring sound and looked sideways, their eyes revealing an incredible look, and they knew better than anyone how precious this was. But the facts are in front of you, and the continuous sound waves are coming out one after another, and they are becoming more and more obvious, and the momentum of slowly climbing is really staggering.
Someone finally couldn't hold back their curiosity and asked, "What movie is being shown there?"
It can be seen that the same doubts appeared in everyone's eyes - a film that can win such praise is a fatal attraction for any veteran professional movie fan.
The excitement in the screening room was still heating up, and the whistling, roaring, and coaxing were endless, especially when everyone saw Lan Li and Felicity whispering and talking, the sound became more and more noisy.
Felicity's eyes were slightly red and swollen, this was the first time they had watched the film, and although they participated in the whole filming, they were still deeply immersed in it and couldn't extricate themselves. Not only her, but Jennifer's eyes were also red, and her voice was faintly nasal, and the two of them saw each other's embarrassment, and they couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing this scene, Drake couldn't help but smile dumbly, and patted Lan Li's back hard, with an excited look in his eyes. No one is happier than him, and no one can understand his sourness at the moment, but he knows that "Love Crazy" can get such a strong response, and the actors must take the first credit.
Then Drake took a half-step back and patted each actor on the shoulder to thank him.
However, because the noise at the scene was so loud, everyone didn't understand what Drake meant, Lan Li had to explain, pointed to his eyes, and motioned for the two girls to stop crying, "He blamed me for everything, because my performance was so good." ”
This immediately made both girls burst into tears and laugh.
Felicity leaned into Lan Li's ear and said, "Are you sure it wasn't because Jacob failed Anna?"
Then, the scene was fried.
The cheers continued for three minutes. It's just three minutes, but it's an incomparably long three minutes, which is already the highest praise at the Sundance Film Festival, if it weren't for the host Joe who walked up to the front desk and signaled everyone to be quiet, I'm afraid that this applause can continue.
Because after the applause stopped, the audience was still standing, no one wanted to sit down, like a tall poplar tree, standing high-spirited, expressing their high respect for the crew in such the simplest way.
Joe looked at the pomp and circumstance in front of him and couldn't help but laugh, "This is really a wonderful movie, isn't it?" For the next 30 minutes, we'll be talking to the crew and sharing their views on the film, and I don't think you want to be on your feet all the time. ”
However, everyone didn't sit down, and Joe had to raise his hand and press down, "Sit, sit, or you won't be able to see it when you raise your hand for a while." This sparked a chuckle, and then the audience sat down one after another, "Then I won't talk nonsense, I'm sure every audience member can't wait to share their thoughts on the movie, so let's cut straight to today's topic." ”
Joe looked at the actors lined up, "Today a total of five members of our crew came to the scene, the director and the four protagonists. Everyone was open to ask questions and share ideas and interesting facts about filmmaking. So, who has the problem?"
As soon as the words fell, Hula La raised an arm at the scene, like a dense forest, layered on top of each other, with no end in sight.
