William: Why is it stuck?

Tessa: What's the matter?

Graham: What's the matter?

Graham: God, oh, God! Look, look! YouTube numbers for the number of people watching the live stream! God, am I counting the wrong numbers?

Graham: Guys, guys, why didn't anybody respond to me?

Graham: Is the chat group also stuck?

Hope: God!

……

Million.

Million.

Ten million.

The 30th Sundance Film Festival's special guest symposium, after the live broadcast link was released on YouTube, the number of online viewers has easily exceeded 10 million in less than 15 minutes, and at this time, Lanli has not even officially debuted.

Fortunately, the audience didn't wait too long, and less than five minutes later, Lan Li's figure appeared on the stage, announcing the official start of the symposium, which also made the number of online viewers of YouTube's live broadcast skyrocket, and even caused YouTube's live broadcast line to lag and lag for a time

Even YouTube officials are in a hurry, and now the live broadcast platform is still in the stage of preliminary testing, and the relevant situation is still not stable. Suddenly, it was under such tremendous pressure, which also made YouTube have to immediately invest in manpower to solve the problem, and the side also made people see the huge potential of live broadcasting.

Fifteen million.

Million.

Twenty-five million.

Million.

By the time the number of online viewers exceeded 50 million, it had already caused a sensation on social networks, with major journalists and industry insiders exclaiming "incredible" on their Twitter or Facebook posts, triggering a seismic ripple effect, and even passers-by couldn't help but turn on their YouTube channels.

The characteristics of the Internet era have been further pushed to the extreme after the birth of smart phones, unlike TV or movies, they need a fixed carrier of communication, and mobile phones can carry the network world with them, which makes it possible to watch and browse anytime and anywhere, the audience has successfully broken the shackles of time and space, expanded the audience base countless times, and completely changed the traditional order of information dissemination and entertainment.

In particular, the "quick swipe" browsing method allows the audience to have more choices, only need to swipe left and right, and only need three seconds to make a choice in the huge ocean of information, and the asymmetric transmission of information gradually reverses the position, and the audience begins to have more choice initiative.

Fast food culture has also become more and more "fast", and the speed of replacement has skyrocketed hundreds or even thousands of times.

Of course, the viewing figures of online platforms have also completely changed the rules of traditional ratings statistics, on YouTube, the number of clicks and views of a video is calculated in the millions, on the photo wall, the number of likes on a photo is calculated in the millions, and on Twitter, the number of retweets of a message is calculated in millions.

These data are already objectively established facts.

But today, YouTube Live has once again subverted the traditional notion of viewership numbers.

At the moment in 2014, just when the Golden Globe Awards, Oscars, Grammys and other top award ceremonies are all having a headache for the overall decline in the number of TV program viewers, just when the Oscar ratings have dropped from 40 million to 30 million or even lower, YouTube Live has directly exploded with 50 million online viewers!

What does 50 million viewers really mean?

To put it simply, you can know by using the Oscar as a reference standard.

The Oscars are the second largest TV show in the entire North American market in terms of annual ratings and viewership after the Super Bowl, and the runner-up position in the year-end ratings statistics list all year round, at its peak, the average viewership of the Oscars has always been stable at the 40 million level, and only twice in history has it exceeded the 50 million threshold:

One was the first broadcast of the Oscars in history in 1983, when "Gandhi's Biography" topped the Best Picture throne with a total audience of 53 million, and the other was the 1998 "Titanic" Best Picture event, which reached 57 million viewers that year, which is still an unsurpassed historical record.

In addition, you can compare the ratings of this year's Golden Globe Awards, Tina Fay and Amy Poehler's co-hosting is hailed as the best of the decade, with 19.3 million viewers, a 30% increase from last year, and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced as soon as possible that they will do their best to invite the two hosts to stay in office.

Now, less than a week before the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, a Sundance symposium has exploded with such a strong ratings energy, even if it is a miracle created on the online platform, but the shock level is still undiminished, and all the people involved in the film industry have expressed amazement and astonishment.

It's okay to even describe it as frightened.

This is definitely the real onlookers!

In fact, the online audience is very volatile, coming and going very frequently, some people just come to join in the fun, and some people are never fully engaged, and after a short period of time, they finally choose to quit the live broadcast, which also makes the number of viewers fluctuate all the time.

But overall, the numbers are still slowly but consistently rising: after breaking through 50 million, they are still rising?

People now don't know how to express their opinions, whether they are amazed by the infinite possibilities of live webcasts, or lamented that the strong appeal of the blue ceremony still has no upper limit?

In any case, this symposium has set off a storm on the Internet!

William: It's smooth, it's smooth.

William: What did the young master say just now? Can't you look back? The question just now hasn't been answered.

Graham: Yes, yes, detachment, detachment hasn't been talked about yet.

"Detachment, detachment", a call also sounded at the symposium, reminding Lan Li that the topic of "detachment" has not yet given a positive answer.

Lan Li couldn't help but smile dumbly, "You still remember." I was a little surprised, I always thought that the number of moviegoers for the 'detachment' movie should be the smallest. After a pause, "What was the question just now?" After asking the question, Lan Li immediately nodded with a chuckle, remembering the question, "'Detachment' performance." ”

"As I said earlier, Tony Kaye is a different director, and that makes the 'detached' performance different. Lan Li returned to the topic, "That performance experience was different from other works, and I still remember the scene where we first met Erica on the bus, and we filmed it more than 70 times, just to capture a change in emotional level. ”

The whole scene erupted in gasps.

Lan Li also chuckled, "Yes, Tony and I are torturing each other, over and over again, over and over again, over and over again, and constantly struggling with the details of those performances, sometimes, we don't even know what we're struggling with, and we inadvertently deviate from the original theme, just picking out details for the sake of picking out details." It was a very painful experience, and neither of us wanted to go through it again. ”

"But the performance was very special. We really show Henry's mood change that night. Looking back at that performance now, it's still one of the most delicate and difficult performances. I can't say I liked the experience, believe me, the torture was really terrible......" Lan Li's words were slightly interrupted by the laughter of the audience, and he chuckled himself, "but the rewards of that experience were huge, and I could also feel the difference in the details of the emotional grasp when I performed Jean-Agen in London's West End later." ”

"So, the viewer just made the right point, 'detachment' does leave more room for aftertaste on the emotional level, it allows the audience to make their own interpretation and analysis, especially compared to 'gravity'. But what we can't ignore is that at the level of plays, the positioning and goals of the two works are different, and of course, this is another story. ”

Sensing the pause in Lan Li's words, another audience member began to raise their hands, and the next audience member asked a question that everyone was particularly curious about, "In the past year, you have starred in two works, and the performances of both works have been well received. My question is, personally, which work do you like more technically?"

stripped of personal preferences and simply discussed acting, which work is better, "Gravity" or "Drunken Country Folk"?

I refuse to answer this question. Lan Li said crisply, making the audience and online netizens stunned, "This is obviously a trap problem, you are even more cunning than those reporters." ”

Such a frank and straightforward "accusation" instantly made everyone laugh, and there was a collective swipe on the Internet, praising Lan Li's response.

"Is this coquettish? haha!"

"The young master is a scoundrel, and the audience is confused. ”

"Refusing to answer questions openly, I can imagine the reporters cursing in their hearts. ”

"What to do, I suddenly want to know the answer. ”

"Sure enough, it's still the young master of the activity who looks good!"

"Like, like! witty answer!"

"I'm going to call the young master like crazy!"

From YouTube to Twitter, the comprehensive brushing posture once again pushed the popularity of the symposium to a new height, and the mysterious and low-key Lan Li, which has always been mysterious, has almost no chance to show its private side except for press conferences and talk shows, which also makes Lan Li more or less distant from the audience.

But today, through the live broadcast, the majority of netizens can see the unique side of Lanli, which immediately made the entire network boil.

"Whatever the answer to such a difficult question, I will obviously suffer. Lan Li continued, "Well, since I've been talking for so long, and today is a symposium, and communication is the core purpose, then it's up to you to express your views now, let's brainstorm, how about it?

Suddenly, Lan Li changed from the speaker to the host, and the painting style seemed to be a little wrong.
