"Midnight is full! The independent art films that no one cares about ushers in the first harvest of the golden autumn!"

The article, written by Bradley Adams, was first updated on the official website of the New York Times in the early hours of October 22. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

“…… The landmark cinema in Downtown/Downtown Los Angeles received an audience of 200 spectators, creating the second midnight frenzy since 2000 after Brokeback Mountain...... At the same time, 10 other theaters in Los Angeles and New York have also ushered in a rare movie-watching frenzy......

This is an unknown independent film, from the director to the actors, the entire crew is a complete newcomer, this is the director's second feature film, and it is also the actor's first film on the big screen, with a mere $3 million investment, and it can't stir up a little ripple in the backwater of Hollywood. Even though Toronto is acclaimed, even if Telluride is in the spotlight, 'Buried Alive' is still another masterpiece that has been overlooked by the North American film market.

…… The initial success of the screening of 11 art theaters has once again made people firmly believe that as long as the quality of the work itself is good enough, then the market is still willing to give corresponding support...... and the next market performance of 'burying alive' is exciting, whether independent art films can usher in spring/day...... At the same time, 'The King's Speech' and 'The Black Swan', two independent artworks that have received accolades, are also looking forward to an enthusiastic response at the box office......

It is worth mentioning that the entire crew of 'Fast and Thrill/Emotion 5' attended. It can be seen that Hall's filming work on the crew is going very smoothly. ”

At this time, less than three hours have passed since the end of the midnight screening of "Buried Alive".

As the largest newspaper in the United States, the attention of the "New York Times" cannot be underestimated, and Bradley's report can be called "exclusive", almost no one could have imagined that the midnight show would be full!

Even Andy Rogers, who personally directed the collective attendance of the "Fast & Thrill/Love 5" crew, did not plan to invite reporters, after all, the midnight show was too cold, and if it was to invite reporters, it would be a little deliberate. What Andy expects is for the staff of the cinema or other midnight audience to take the initiative to break the news on the Internet, or to upload photos from the perspective of the audience's candid shots, and then match up and let the reporter go to interview the crew members of "Fast and Thrill 5" to detonate the news.

But the results greatly exceeded expectations.

It can be seen that Bradley abandoned the biggest gimmick of the night - the "Fast and Thrill/Emotional 5" crew, and instead focused all the focus on the full midnight show. This is undoubtedly to maximize the propaganda effect of "buried alive", but weaken the early propaganda of "Speed and Excitement/Emotion 5".

Within hours, the New York Times story had attracted more than a million hits and was picked up by 16 different news sources. It's a fantastic start for an independent film without any publicity budget!

Even the New York Times itself was a little surprised that the story was able to provoke such a strong response.

At the same time, the enthusiastic response on the Internet exploded like a powder keg ignited, and within 12 hours, the Yahoo community emerged 63 threads closely related to "buried alive", and attracted more than 20,000 replies, and the number of online active users exceeded 60,000.

"I finally know why this movie caused a long queue in Toronto, why countless audiences gathered in Toronto to call for an extra show, why Telluride's loyal audience was raving, and why some even compared it to '127' hours!

Because, 'buried alive' is a masterpiece! A well-deserved masterpiece! The plot is weak, the camera movement is monotonous, and the connotation is complicated...... These are all shortcomings, but they are all facts, but they still can't hide the excellence of the work! the precise pacing that keeps the audience's attention firmly in hand, the thrilling atmosphere, simple but not boring, the whole process is high-energy, and most importantly: the wonderful performance, every detail of the performance is shaking my soul! Wonderful!

I already want a second brush now, and I strongly demand an extra game!"

The post attracted 2,339 replies and more than 70,000 views, making it the most popular post to date.

It's hard to imagine that under such a monotonous scene and such monotonous material, there is no blank space in the whole movie-watching process, and I still feel unfinished until the end of the movie! This is the best movie of the year!

"The midnight show in Los Angeles has been completely blown out, and my friends and I are almost going to miss the movie, and it has exploded, it has completely exploded, it is really unimaginable!

"Ranley Hall! Truly talented, he has completely sublimated acting into an art! Compared to him, James Franco's performance is really weak!"

This is the real secret room movie, there are no ups and downs of drama, and there is no conflict between the characters, but the charm of the movie is brought into full play in a limited space, the kind of immersive thriller, it has been three hours after watching the movie, and my hands are still trembling. ”

"Strength, absolute strength! I think Lan Li-Hall deserves an Oscar! If anyone else says that he relies on the backstage, please go to the cinema, okay?

……

Posts about movies, about performances, and even a series of exclamation points as a title to express your inner excitement and excitement.

Almost everyone is enthusiastically discussing "buried alive", creating a strange illusion: as if this is not a work of art screened in 11 theaters, but a commercial film screened on a large scale in 4,000 theaters, and the attention and discussion are booming, which is abnormally scary.

From this side, it can be seen that in the past two months of brewing, the attention from movie lovers has indeed reached a new high, although only two cities in New York and Los Angeles will be screened tonight, but there are really a lot of fans who have been sleepless all night to pay attention to the "buried alive".

It's a sleepless night.

What would have happened only to movies like "Star Wars", "The Lord of the Rings", and "The Matrix" that caused fan frenzy has now happened to "buried alive" - although it is several times smaller, it is still shocking. About the amazing moment of the newcomer Blue Ceremony, now add one.

After William returned to the dormitory, he couldn't sleep with excitement, and his first reaction was to log on to the Yahoo community and start browsing the posts.

The whole Yahoo community is extremely lively, as if it is a rare time for afternoon tea, and no one notices the whiteness of the fish belly that has gradually emerged outside the window.

Suddenly, William's fingers stopped as he slid the mouse, and he looked at it carefully, he thought he was wrong, and after reconfirming, the nickname of the post was indeed "Brando Mania", so he became excited.

After clicking on the post, William was a little surprised, what appeared in front of him was not a film review, nor an impression, but a painting. A hand-painted watercolor.

Above the painting, it is the protagonist of tonight, Lan Li.

Gray shirt, black jeans, light brown trench coat, right hand in trouser pocket, left hand holding a cigarette, the deep facial features, smart eyes under the delicate brushstrokes are lifelike, even more vivid than the photo, but the bright watercolor increases the color contrast, like charcoal ink eyebrows gently flying, the strong color impact seems to be struggling to break through the screen.

William remembered the appearance of Lan Li's appearance tonight in his mind, and smiled, I have to admit that this painting outlines Lan Li's eyes very well, as if the whole life has become vivid.

At the bottom of the painting, Brando wrote feverishly, "I participated in the midnight screening of 'Buried Alive' tonight, but I didn't expect to see Lan Li-Hall himself." Not only did he interact with the audience personally, but he also discussed various ideas about the movie and the characters with the audience, and it was like a fan meeting!

In order to play the role of 'buried alive', the young master put in unimaginable efforts and persistence, and he even did not hesitate to experience the fear of being buried alive to death for a while - he lay in a coffin for eight hours, the coffin was completely sealed, and after walking on the death line once, he really felt the struggle and pain of the character. So, this is the pain we experienced in the cinema.

I have to admit that Young Master Lan Li himself is far more handsome than on the screen, and the indescribable handsomeness and elegance make people want to scream. Cameras and cameras simply can't capture the temperament that flows with the light on Lan Li's body, and only the eyes can record it.

An actor with outstanding acting talent and persistent acting enthusiasm, and at the same time has the classical elegance of a gentleman and the vigor of a teenager. It's completely unenvious, just amazed and amazed.

It's a pity, out of respect and out of accident, I didn't bring my camera last night. So, use a paintbrush to record the glimpse. ”

Brando's fanatical post has only been published for less than 15 minutes, and in the blink of an eye, it has already attracted more than 3,000 hits and more than 200 replies.

At the bottom of the post, a large number of fans began to scream uncontrollably, "Young Master is really handsome!Marry me, Young Master!" "The real best man, I have already fallen!" "I'm so envious! I'm also in Los Angeles, why didn't I see Master Lan Li?" Why?......

In fact, this is just the beginning.
