357 Suspected genius
The Sundance Film Festival is in full swing, and Hollywood's awards season is in the sprint, with the Weinstein brothers yesterday, Natalie Portman today, and James Franco tomorrow......
Private parties are held almost every day, and news updates can be completed almost every day, often before the previous news has had time to digest, and the next rumor has already detonated another round of gossip. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info you sing it, I'll appear."
The closer we get to the voting deadline for the Oscar nominations, the louder the noise in Hollywood, and at such a critical time, any piece of heavyweight news can turn the tide and change the situation.
For example, Natalie Portman's stand-in turmoil.
If the negative news broke out at this time, Fox Searchlight would not have had time to deal with PR, then Natalie's Oscar prospects would be immediately full of uncertainties, and it is not impossible to even be kicked out of the nomination list;
Of course, it's one thing to nominate and another thing to win. It is still unknown how much this incident will affect Natalie's impact on the little golden man.
It was against this backdrop that the entertainment section of the official website of the New York Times updated a piece of news, or to be precise, a feature story, which easily attracted the attention of the whole United States.
"Genius in the spotlight, a new chapter in the battle for Gen Y's leaders: Rite-Hall shines at Sundance. ”
This feature story is written by Bradley Adams. This veteran entertainment reporter has been paying attention to Lan Li since the premiere of "Pacific War", and after a long period of precipitation, he finally wrote this report, which really pushed Lan Li into the public eye.
In the report, Bradley introduced the two works of "Pacific War" and "Buried Alive" in detail, and also commented on "Love Crazy" for the first time, he was full of praise for Lan Li's performance, the three works presented three completely different roles, and more importantly, Lan Li's performance methods are also slightly different, which makes people see his strong plasticity, which is really valuable for actors.
Bradley thinks the blue is a combination of Laurence-Oliver and Marlon Brando.
In him, you can see a solid foundation in stage plays, and his ability to interpret and interpret lines is impressive, and every line is permeated with a deep script weight. Oliver is undoubtedly the greatest Shakespeare actor in the history of theater, and now, this young actor, also from England, has once again seen Oliver's line skills, which makes people can't help but imagine what it would be like if Hall played Shakespeare. ”
In him, you can also see the explosive performance power, the emotional power that bursts out in an instant, through every look, every expression, every action, which is reminiscent of the fledgling Brando, in the movie "Desire/Hope Streetcar" presented in the rough, primitive, strong, unreasonable but full of tension performance. ”
Bradley did not simply comment on the work "Love Crazy", but stood at a summary level and solemnly introduced this shining rookie actor to the majority of movie lovers.
Such a grand treatment is really rare.
At the end of the feature, Bradley said, "The outstanding performances of three consecutive productions fully demonstrate Hall's outstanding talent in acting, and what is even more commendable is that he is only 21 years old this year, but he shows that he is spicy, steady and restrained in his performance, but he breaks the shackles of age." Genius, undoubted genius.
Perhaps, we are witnessing the rise of another 'Marlon Brando'. Or maybe we're witnessing the history of Blue Rite-Hall. ”
The whole story is full of information and combines all the information of the Blue Rite so far, the experience in London's West End and Broadway, the talent in music, and the reality of hitting a wall before the "Pacific War...... It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most comprehensive and profound analysis of Lanli at the moment.
Bradley has been brewing for nearly half a year, and finally seized the exact moment at the peak of the awards season, and threw out his long-prepared drama in one go, which shook the entire North American continent.
Talented.
This is Bradley's summary of Lan Li, but it is not just a genius, he also borrowed the analogy of Lawrence and Ma Long, two top actors who have gone down in history, and gave almost all the words of praise to Lan Li, full of high respect.
This is really too much weight for a newcomer, even Jennifer Lawrence was born last year with "Winter Bones", and even Edward Norton was able to enjoy such treatment with his debut "Level 1 Fear" technique.
can think about it carefully, although Lan Li is only a newcomer, but within a year, the three works are all highly recognized works, not to mention "Pacific War" and "Buried Alive", and "Love Crazy", which is being released at Sundance, is no exception.
A glance at the newspapers reveals all sorts of Sundance news, and "Love Crazy" easily dominates the headlines, whether it's a hard-to-find spectacle, a frenzy of media praise, or a post-viewing uproar...... The work has become the most talked-about movie talk of the past 48 hours, even if it compares to the excitement of awards season.
Then, it all seems to make sense.
However, this is not a casual media, not a "Vanity Fair" that exclaims "genius is born" every once in a while, nor is it an "entertainment weekly" that uses "genius" as an adjective, this is the "New York Times", the unique "New York Times"!
The "New York Times", the No. 1 authoritative newspaper in the United States, usually mainly focuses on serious political/political, economic, and social news. Although entertainment news is naturally included in order to keep pace with the times, the overall style of the newspaper is still more serious and neat, and entertainment news about movies and other entertainment news also shows more professional attitudes.
Undoubtedly, their influence is the highest in the United States, even in the world, and each piece of news is enough to represent the mainstream opinion of the elite on the east coast of the North American continent, not only in terms of entertainment, or in terms of economics, but also has the powerful ability to shake society and change lives in all aspects.
Now, in the midst of the hustle and bustle of awards season, the New York Times has published such a feature. Although it is not in the physical newspaper, but on the official website, its authority and professionalism are still not discounted, and it unreservedly crowns Lanli with the name of "genius", which is really immeasurable.
From Sundance through the Yahoo community to traditional authoritative media such as the "New York Times", and then the powerful influence of the "New York Times" through the Yahoo community brewing and fermenting, detonating a frenzy of discussion on the Internet, and finally radiating back to Sundance.
With a strong sense of attention, Lan Li once again stood in the spotlight, and even the two works "Buried Alive" and "Love Crazy" also gathered scorching eyes from all over North America.
Who would have thought of such an outcome?
One has an investment of 3 million, the production team is from a "remote area" in Spain, the director and the leading actors are unknown people, and the publicity cost is not even 500,000 US dollars...... The British-based team, the "outsiders" who are disliked by Hollywood, and the crew members are all marginal people who are rolling in independent films, and the publicity expenses are basically zero.
But these two independent films are linked together because of Lan Li, the excellent reputation of "Buried Alive" has made "Love Crazy" famous in Sundance, and the outstanding performance of "Love Crazy" has promoted the pace of "Buried Alive" in the awards season, it is difficult to separate who is more helpful to whom. However, what is certain is that these two works, which were struggling in the publicity stage, have found another way to help each other.
On Facebook and Instagram, the topic of "Blue Gift Oscar nomination" has risen strongly, and driven by the anti-sky appeal of the "New York Times", it has entered the global hot topic trend and sparked heated discussions on the Internet.
But interestingly, "War of the Pacific" has already aired, the DVD disc has not yet been released, and HBO's on-demand replay is the only way to watch it; the number of theaters "buried alive" has not exceeded 1,500 - in other words, the niche of the niche, the cumulative box office figures so far prove it, and "Love Crazy" has just landed at the Sundance Film Festival.
In other words, even if people want to know more about Lanli, they can't find an effective way. It's a ...... feeling Aggrieved.
Countless netizens began to vent their emotions on the Internet.
"Aitranli-Hall, I want to see your work, where do I want to see it?"
"Who knows about Ranley Hall's Facebook or Twitter, and why can't I find any information about him?"
"In the movie theater in New Braunfels, 'buried alive' has gone offline, crying and fainting in the toilet. ”
"Oh my God, Denver, I walked to three movie theaters and I couldn't even buy a ticket to be buried alive! Can anyone tell me how I'm going to see this movie?"
"Does anyone know who Ranley Hall is? Why is everyone talking about him, I searched and couldn't find his work. ”
"Whoever can lend me a set of 'Pacific War', I want to see what is so good about that guy. ”
"him//'s Lan Li Hall, I can't see a single work, just those film critics are laughing at themselves, what the hell!"
……
On Twitter and Facebook, there are countless topics about Lan Li, and even go so far as to scold them, but this does not help. If you can't see it, you just can't see it.
Relatively speaking, the audience who is now in Park City is undoubtedly happy, even if it is hard to get a ticket, but at least, they can find a movie theater and wait at the door, quietly waiting for the opportunity to watch "Love Crazy".
"Greetings from Park City, I've bought a ticket to 'Love Crazy'!
