2073 Feet don't touch the ground

From New Orleans to Cincinnati, Lanli drove there, but from Cincinnati to Los Angeles, because of the time and distance, the road trip was no longer suitable, Lanli drove to the airport, took the plane back to Los Angeles, and quickly got into the final stage of "Jurassic World" shooting.

In the next period of time, Lanli also entered a busy period of full acceleration, all-out, and global speed, and became compact again after the end of the summer promotion period.

"Jurassic World" was successfully completed on the third day after the opening of the Venice Film Festival, ending all filming, and then entering the post-production process, which also indicates that Universal Pictures' 2015 summer file layout can already blow the horn, if nothing else, this work will be the main force.

And, of course, "Fast & Thrill/Emotion 7".

But Lan Li didn't even have time to participate in the finale banquet, and on the night of the announcement, he took a red-eye flight to Venice, the water city, overnight, to prepare to participate in the Venice Film Festival for the second consecutive year.

Unfortunately, this year is still not the main competition unit, but the horizon unit, at the beginning of the Sundance Film Festival at the acclaimed "burst drummer" came to Venice to participate in the screening, compared to Cannes and Berlin, Lan Li has not been shortlisted for the main competition unit of Venice, but has arrived in the water city twice before and after the promotion, this treatment can be said to give Venice enough face, compared to Cannes and Berlin, it is indeed unique, which also makes the Venice Film Festival attract countless attention.

Although it is not the main competition unit, the signature of "Blue Rite-Hall" is prominent enough that even the horizon unit has become the absolute focus.

On the day of the screening of "Burst Drummer", more than 400 reporters and 2,000 spectators arrived, in addition to the bustling crowd of onlookers, the noisy scene easily surpassed the movie palace where the main competition unit was located, and stole all the style.

This should be the first time in the history of the three major European film festivals that it has won such crazy attention in the non-main competition unit, and easily let the Venice Film Festival steal the attention, and finally make it lively on social networking platforms, and it seems to have regained the glorious dawn of its peak.

But for Alberto Barbera, it was pain and joy.

The Venice Film Festival has become a hot topic of discussion, which is a good thing, but countless netizens have complained that last year did not let "gravity" enter the main competition, resulting in a loss of 100 million, and this year did not let the "Burst Drummer" enter the main competition, it is estimated that another 100 million will be lost, these two decisions are really ...... "If the selection of films in the main competition unit is still so unsuccessful, I'm afraid Venice will never be good." ”

Indeed, the discussion of all the works in the main competition unit is superimposed, and it can't compete with a blue ceremony, even Jake Gyllenhaal, plus Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone and Edward Norton, it is still not good, the deterrent and influence of the name "Blue Gift Hall" is really too strong, and it is still a guarantee of popularity when it comes to the European market, even slightly better than Leonardo DiCaprio at his peak.

But is this really good for the Horizon unit?

When the 71st Venice Film Festival came to an end, the most impressive thing for the global audience was the "Burst Drummer", but they didn't remember that the American movie "Birdman", which was a hit in the awards season, also landed in Venice, and they didn't even remember the direction of the Golden Lion Awards, nor did they remember the works in the main competition unit, so ...... Is it really good?

Alberto is also full of bitterness, he himself is not sure, the "Burst Drummer" did not enter the main competition unit, in the end Venice won or lost, and even more sadly, no matter whether he wins or loses, in fact, the decision is never in his hands, he is also powerless, or does he regret that he should have insisted a little longer and won a seat in the main competition for the "Burst Drummer", so will the situation be different now?

"The Burst Drummer" was well received in Venice, and countless viewers expressed their suffocation that this work did not make it to the main competition, which was actually a loss for Venice, which is also the biggest weakness of Venice: it was not as flexible as Cannes, nor as firm as Berlin, and it was never able to find its place, and as a result, it fell into a position that was not up or down.

Incidentally, Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, who attended Venice with their respective works, also came to the Horizon unit to cheer for the Blue Ceremony, which also made the "Burst Drummer" create more buzz, but all of this has nothing to do with the main competition unit, and it has to be said that it is a pity.

Next, Lan Li attended the premiere of the main competition unit "Nightcrawler", which was specially cheered for his friend Jake Gyllenhaal, which was also his first work as a producer but did not appear in, or the second work of Sisyphus Films, which attracted a lot of attention in all aspects.

In particular, many independent filmmakers in the European market are also looking forward to the emergence of independent filmmaking companies in North America that truly appreciate European artists. If Sisyphus Pictures really has Blue Gift as a guarantee, and not just in name, then there should be many independent producers and independent production companies in the European market who are willing to look for Sisyphus Pictures to cooperate.

Because of the debut of Lan Li, the "Nightcrawler", which did not attract much attention before the departure, easily completed the counterattack, and became the film with the highest media attendance, audience attendance, and post-screening discussion in the main competition unit this year, and the attention was completely high, which can be described as an unexpected surprise in Venice.

In the end, "Nightcrawler" also received numerous accolades, with many professional critics saying that the quality and style of the finished product exceeded expectations, and the social issues were very interesting.

However, Jake Gyllenhaal received a lot of praise, hailed as the best career since "Brokeback Mountain", the whole person's performance was reborn, which really made everyone's eyes shine, and the crazy and almost crazy performance made people unrecognizable his original true face, which is undoubtedly one of the biggest gains of this year's Venice Film Festival.

Countless film critics have believed that Jake Gyllenhaal has a hope of hitting the Venice actor.

In addition, one thing that can be confirmed is that "Sisyphus Pictures successfully fired the first shot!" Whether it is "Burst Drummer" or "Nightcrawler", the two works of which Lan Li is the producer have achieved word-of-mouth victories, which is undoubtedly a perfect start for Sisyphus Films.

It is foreseeable that in this year's awards season, Sisyphus Pictures will inevitably occupy a place, but both works are dark and bloody style, slightly overlapping, but the themes and themes are different, and the prospects of the awards season are still full of many variables, it depends on how Sisyphus Pictures and Sony Classics carry out college public relations.

Lan Li was not able to wait for the closing ceremony at the Venice Film Festival, and the day after the premiere of "Nightcrawler", he flew straight back to the North American continent and arrived in Toronto for a second round of publicity.

Since the Sundance Film Festival at the beginning of the year, "Burst Drummer" has been one of the most anticipated works, and after the baptism of word-of-mouth at the Venice Film Festival, the anticipation value continues to rise, and now in Toronto, it has undoubtedly become the first place in the audience's expectation list.

Ultimately...... Sure enough, it lived up to expectations!

The brutal and paranoid story made many viewers exclaim, especially the picture of blood breaking up caused screams again and again, and the dark and bloody character transformation sparked countless discussions after the screening, and the collision of values made people feel a chilling fear and horror on the spine.

There are likes and there are resistances, there are fanaticism, and there are rejections. "Burst Drummer" was not suitable for all ages, but it still detonated a movie-watching frenzy in the controversy.

In terms of liking, "Burst Drummer" may not be among the top three or even the top five, but in terms of viewing popularity, "Burst Drummer" has deservedly become the number one seed of this year's Toronto Film Festival.

This time, Lan Li was also unable to wait for the closing ceremony at the Toronto Film Festival, and immediately after the premiere of "Burst Drummer", he returned to New York for a little adjustment.

In cooperation with the New York Film Festival, he gave some interviews and held a symposium to warm up for the upcoming landing of the "Burst Drummer" at the New York Film Festival, and only stayed for three days before and after, and then Lan Li set off again, returned to the European continent, and returned to London.

Lan Li's itinerary is a little puzzled to outsiders, because in the next period of time, the Telluride Film Festival, the New York Film Festival, etc. will be the focus of the awards season, and the London Film Festival will not be unveiled until the end of November, and it seems that it is not necessary for Lan Li to return to London early now.

In a trance, people almost forget that London is the hometown of Lan Li. Because Lanli lives in New York all the year round, many people think that New York is the home of Lanli. In a way, this is true, and now Lan Li does make New York his home, but for some special reason, he needs to stay in London for a while to protect his home.

So, Lan Li returned to London, put the excitement of the North American awards season behind him for the time being, and resolutely returned to the British Isles.
