1494 can't stop
Boom Boom!
Boom Boom!
The mighty applause has departed from the original rhythm and sound, bursting out of the earth-shattering huge ability, like thunder in the screening hall continued to roll, the rumbling vast momentum made the excited/emotional chemical reaction permeate, the strong and tight tension further exploded, rolling and stirring.
Without words, the audience's viewing experience has been truly and honestly presented, and the thunderous applause is the best answer.
What's more, even when using language, it seems impossible to find accurate words to describe and express. Therefore, applause became the best choice.
Not only the audience, but even Lan Li is no exception.
So far, Lan Li has starred in many works, both the protagonist and the supporting role, and at the same time, he has also watched his own performances on the big and small screens, which is a wonderful experience:
The works that I once watched in the previous life are now interpreted by myself and given different colors. Whether it's good or bad, the current work is no longer what I saw it at the beginning.
This time, "gravity" is different from any previous work, and it can even be said to be completely different.
In her last life, Lan Li lay on a hospital bed and watched on a small screen on a computer. For most movies, the difference in the playback medium and the difference in image quality and clarity may affect the viewing experience, but it is not fatal, but for "gravity", the screen size, picture quality, 3D image, etc. all have a very different direct impact on the feeling of the movie.
Today, Lan Li sat in the screening room of the Palais du Cinémale at the Venice Film Festival, admiring the fusion of 3D technology and IMAX film, where all the details were magnified to the extreme, from a speck of dust to a wisp of fresh air, setting off waves in the depths of the pupils.
The explosion of "Avatar" brought about a frenzy of 3D technology, and later many movies began to create 3D versions, which has also become the focus of countless fans' crazy complaints.
Most of these works use 3D conversion technology, rather than 3D creation during the actual shooting process, which also makes the effect of the film far from being comparable with "Avatar", or even unnecessary at all;
Invisibly, 3D has become a factor of rejection for many commercial popcorn movies.
But there is no doubt that there are still some 3D films that really bring the immersive feeling of this technology to the cinema, Lee/Ann's "Life of Pi" is one and Alfonso's "Gravity" is another.
Sitting in the screening room, the space beauty, cosmic reality and disaster effects created by "gravity" are truly beautiful, thrilling and wonderful, coupled with the realistic touch brought by IMAX film, the visual experience is deeply imprinted in the mind, and the shocking experience is magnified to the extreme.
This is the art of cinema, not the imagination of literary creation, not the compositional beauty of painting and photography, not the performance tension of the theatrical stage, not the continuous conflict of television works, but -
It belongs to the image, to the picture, to the light, to the composition, to the fit of the characters and the plot, to the integration of the picture and the thought, and to the refraction of the depth of the soul.
Although this is not a good description and is somewhat arbitrary, Lan Li's previous works can only be described as "movies", and it is only today that "gravity" can be called art.
From the conception of the child/womb/mother/body, to the growth in the depths of the ocean, to the transformation against gravity, the composition between a scene and a scene opens a dialogue, infiltrating that reflection step by step, and completing the immersive substitution in 3D images and IMAX films, which detonates the shock in the depths of the soul.
For other audiences, maybe they saw the story, maybe they saw the performance, maybe they saw the picture, but for Lan Li, he saw the director hidden behind the picture, Alfonso Cuarón created this miracle, and his philosophical reflections and life discussions all permeated into the lens, which did not need to be elaborated, but left to the audience to comprehend.
Wonderful!
Truly wonderful!
Even Lan Li himself, after the last shot ended, he couldn't suppress the surging and excitement in his heart, and stood up as soon as possible and gave Alfonso a round of applause!
Why do people in the industry always say, "TV is the art of screenwriters, drama is the art of actors, and movies are the art of directors", after watching the movie "Gravity", you can empathize!
Although Lan Li has many important moments in his career, he won the Oscar "Love is Crazy", "buried alive" for him to win the attention of the industry, "Detachment" and "Drunken Country Ballad" for him to make a breakthrough in acting, "Tomorrow's edge" to break the salary deadlock for him, and so on, but at this moment, Lan Li has only one thought in his mind:
It was an honor to be a part of "Gravity", and it was arguably the most important work of his career!
Lan Li did not hesitate to express his respect and worship with applause.
Alfonso stood up, turned his head to look at the audience as usual, and then saw Lan Li clapping, he instantly became a little flustered, his face showed a touch of shyness, and Rooney, who was standing next to Lan Li, also gave applause with a smile on his face, and the meaning of the salute could not be more obvious.
This made Alfonso more and more nervous, spread his hands, cast his gaze, and said with his mouth, "What's wrong?" But he didn't wait for any answer, he could only ask again, "What's wrong!"
Rooney didn't answer, but raised his hands slightly and responded with applause.
For Rooney, "Gravity" is definitely her most important work to date, surpassing the "social networks" that made her rise to prominence, and the "girl with the dragon tattoo" that earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Actress!
Although Rooney is only a supporting role in this work, and the role is really limited, during the filming of the film, she felt the weight of Lan Li's performance up close, and at the moment of watching the movie, she really felt Alfonso's strong attainment of film skills.
Just now, the final scene of the movie is definitely the most shocking and profound scene in Rooney's movie-watching life so far, from acting to scheduling, from action to composition, from soundtrack to actors, everything is perfect, the boiling blood makes her unable to sit still at all, the only thing she can do is: standing ovation!
Alfonso scratched his head shyly, trying to say something, but he couldn't say anything, just smiled shyly.
Then, Rooney turned her head, lifted her chin, and stared at the man standing beside her with a sparkling gaze. On his body, there is a thousand rays of light, every move, every smile is so moving, the charm of the performance seems to have completely succumbed to his personal charm, which is convincing and surrendering.
She couldn't take her eyes off her at all.
……
The applause of the audience thundered, it lasted for fifteen minutes, a full fifteen minutes, this is the most turbulent and enthusiastic moment of the Venice Film Festival since the millennium, the last film work that felt such praise was really a long time ago, tonight, the powerful influence of the film was unreservedly released at this moment, and Venice, which officially ushered in the 70th anniversary celebration this year, ushered in the opening in the grand cheers!
Alberto Barbera, the new president of the Venice Film Festival, has tears in his eyes, and his mood is really mixed.
On the one hand, he choked that this movie was not able to enter the main competition unit, which is definitely the strongest contender for this year's Golden Lion Award, and at the same time, Lan Li is definitely the number one seed for Best Actor.
On the other hand, he is glad that if the film enters the main competition, the jury will inevitably cause strong controversy, especially the chairman of the jury, the Italian Bernardo Bertolucci, will be in a position that is not up or down - whether the Golden Lion will be awarded to Italian films or not?
Now that "Gravity" is the opening film, Alberto is not sure if it was the right decision, but it is certain that the Cannes Film Festival will be jealous and jealous now, and even the Toronto Film Festival next week will certainly not be willing to be stolen by Venice.
Thinking of this, Alberto cast his eyes to the side stage, motioned for the host to come onto the stage, and welcomed the main creators of the crew to the stage with warm applause to accept applause and cheers.
When Alfonso Cuarón, Lanli Hall and Rooney Mara appeared in the spotlight, the applause of the audience actually climbed a step again, reaching a real high and tide with such fierceness and ferocity that it seemed that even the roof was about to be torn off.
The host's voice was completely drowned out, and the scene could not be effectively controlled at all, so he had to invite Lan Li to come out, but even if Lan Li came out, he signaled three times, which made the applause on the scene calm down slightly, but all the audience still maintained a collective standing posture and sent the highest respect-
Because they know that this is the only chance. After tonight's premiere, the "Gravity" crew will go to Toronto to promote it, and the main competition unit that starts after that will no longer see the crew members.
The audience stood up and performed the attention salute, which is the highest treatment in Venice!
