Previously, the discussion about "Lan Li-Hall" has been lively for several waves, but this time it is different, leaving the small screen of the TV, leaving the secluded department of the Emmy Awards, and leaving the niche attention of art films, Lan Li has truly entered the public eye.

replaced Dawn and joined "Fast and Thrill/Emotional 5", a series of action movies with a commercial foundation, which easily detonated heated discussions in the media and released all the pent-up enthusiasm that had been brewing before.

Before Lan Li had time to join the crew, people's expectations had begun to slowly climb - not so much that people were looking forward to Lan Li's performance, but that people were looking forward to the sacredness of the young man who had been frequently reported in the newspapers in recent times. After all, in addition to the "Pacific War", "Buried Alive" has not yet had time to meet the audience, "Fast and Exciting / Emotional 5" has not even had time to start filming, Toronto and Telluride have limited participants after all, and the audience has no way to understand Lan Li, all of which makes Lan Li a veil of mystery.

Now, a commercial film like "Fast & Thrill 5" has become the best medium, successfully awakening people's curiosity to explore the mystery.

Discussion posts in the Yahoo community are starting to buzz again, and on the other hand, the exclusive interviews published by Us Weekly during Toronto have become the best option for people to access resources.

This new generation of actors, relying on outstanding acting skills, first conquered the small screen, won his first Emmy trophy at the age of 20, and then managed to receive praise in Toronto and Telluride, even compared to the long-established James Franco. The aura that shrouded him became the driving force for people to learn more about the excavation of Lan Li.

The interview of "American Weekly" is more detailed and vivid than other media, not only opening a window for strangers to understand the blue ceremony, but also opening a channel for a few fans to get close to the blue ceremony.

Interestingly, after the interview in Toronto, Gavin Hunter was the first to disclose the latest casting progress of "Fast & Furious 5", what does this really mean?

For a while, Gavin also began to become hot within the journalist circle.

The major media reports are not only focused on Lan Li, but also on the crew of "Fast and Exciting / Love 5", some people question, some agree, some oppose, some pursue, everyone is discussing what kind of impact the decision to replace Dawn with Lan Li will bring.

But there is no doubt that at the moment, the crew of "Fast & Excitement/Emotion 5" has undoubtedly achieved great success, sweeping away the decline of the previous three weeks, renewing its focus with vigor and vigor, and announcing the start of filming again in Los Angeles, and the positive attitude of gearing up makes people full of confidence in the film again.

This is not the end of it!

At the same time, Focus Pictures also smelled a good opportunity, and launched the pre-publicity of "buried alive" at the exact time, announcing that the film was officially finalized, and it will be screened in Los Angeles and New York on October 22, and then expand the pace of screening, so the arrangement is obviously aimed at this year's Halloween schedule.

This move has sparked a lot of discussion in the industry.

Judging from the early word-of-mouth of "Buried Alive", it is more like a literary film that hits the awards season, and keywords such as one-man show, secret room space, and sensory stimulation all prove this, and it is even less "friendly" than "127 hours";

You know, this year's Halloween schedule can be described as extremely crowded, with "Smart: Ghost 2" and "Saw 3D" competing fiercely, followed by the grand debut of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1)". In the limited market space, it is not easy for any work to fight its way out, and now, "buried alive" actually wants to participate in the competition?

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

After the brewing and fermentation of Toronto and Telluride, coupled with the news of "Fast and Exciting / Emotional 5", the first wave of publicity of "Buried Alive" was really good, and many viewers became interested in this work, which caused a lot of discussion and controversy.

However, this is only the first step in the early publicity, and attracting attention is victory. This is also the reason why Focus Pictures chose to announce the schedule at this point in time, and then Focus Pictures will release the first trailer, whether the trailer can meet the audience's psychological expectations will determine the trend of the film's follow-up promotion.

From "Fast and Exciting 5" to "Buried Alive", Lanli's upward momentum is really unstoppable. Not only that, but even the competitors started to assist at the right time.

Dwayne Johnson reacted immediately and announced with an absolutely high-profile gesture that he would join the "death squad"!

He will form a lavish lineup with Sylvester Stallone, Jet-Li (Lee/Lien/Jay), Jason Statham, Duff Runger and others in an attempt to create a true tough-guy work.

In his words, he revealed a lot of information, "a real man's work", "return to the classic action genre", "reduce fancy gimmicks", etc., it seems that they are belittled by the crew of "Fast and Exciting / Love 5" intentionally or unintentionally, even if they don't say it clearly, but the media can't wait to get excited.

Not only that, Lionsgate, the production company of "The Expendables", also stepped forward, and in the official press release, put Dawn on the same level as Sylvester, emphasizing the status of Dawn's second protagonist, and said that the film will be built into a classic action version of "Ocean's Eleven", reawakening people's fanatical preference for action movies in the 70s and 80s.

The next day, Lionsgate copied Universal's move and unveiled a new poster with just Sylvester and Dawn standing side by side. The implication is that even if it is not a dual-protagonist movie, the importance of Dawn is self-evident.

Although it is only the second protagonist, Lionsgate's emphasis is obviously different, this is after "The Mummy 2", "Scorpion King", "Wushan Adventure", Dawn once again participated in a blockbuster commercial film, "The Expendables" 80 million US dollars investment, not inferior to "Fast and Exciting / Emotional 5".

The difference is that the previous commercial films were not satisfactory at the box office in the end, and Dawn was not able to soar to the sky, but this time, just with the strong appeal of the three classic action actors of Sylvester, Duff, and Jett in the industry, the "Expendables" is already a smooth road. Now, with the addition of Dawn, it is indeed eye-catching, no wonder Lionsgate has taken it so seriously.

From Dawn to Lionsgate, all signs are showing that it is not the crew of "Fast and Thrill/Emotion 5" who gave up Dawn, but Dawn who gave up "Thrill and Excitement/Emotion 5" and chose "Death Squad". Coupled with the attention of "The Expendables" and Lionsgate, Dawn finally got his wish to get a boost in the industry.

If "The Expendables" can do well at the box office, he can still get tens of millions of dollars at the box office in the next film as expected. Of course, the premise is still the box office after all. Previously, Dawn chose "Fast and Furious/Emotional 5" because of the strong recovery momentum of the series, and now he chose "The Expendables" because of the appeal of a group of veteran action superstars.

The box office, in the final analysis, is the only criterion for measuring the success of commercial films.

It is conceivable that there will be a head-to-head competition between Lionsgate and Universal Pictures. However, Dawn chose the "death squad" and Universal Pictures chose Lan Li, and both parties made a bold and risky decision, whether this was the right choice or the wrong choice, we can only wait for the two movies to be released and see.

In the midst of this growing gossip vortex, what no one noticed was that Jason Statham's performance in "The Expendables" was marginalized. After all, Jason's weight is still not enough.

First came the official promotion of Universal Pictures, then the adaptation of Focus Pictures, and then the magical assistance of Lionsgate...... Originally, it was just a simple change of actors, whether it was "Fast and Thrill 5" or "The Expendables", which attracted very limited attention under the general decline of action films, but now, it has successfully created a large wave of topical effects, and the audience's attention to these two movies has skyrocketed.

From that point of view, everyone wins.

However, among the many winners, Lan Li is undoubtedly the biggest winner. In this dramatic blockbuster news showdown, the name "Lan Li-Hall" has truly entered the public eye for the first time, and many of the previous halos have now finally been successfully realized, breaking the shackles of cyberspace and niche groups, spreading widely, and the recognition and popularity are slowly rising at a speed visible to the naked eye.

From the first appearance on the small screen in early spring and March, on the occasion of the arrival of golden autumn and October, Lan Li successfully achieved a triple jump as a newcomer and gained a firm foothold in the ranks of third-tier actors. Of course, there is also a "Love Crazy" that is ignored by everyone.

But for Lan Li, these things are all false. Just finished the filming of "Love is Crazy", the whole person is still immersed in that confused and discouraged mood, he must recover as soon as possible and devote himself to the shooting of "Speed and Excitement/Emotion 5".

This is a movie full of excitement/emotion, glamorous and hormones, and it also means that Lan Li will play a very different and completely different FBI agent. Acting is indeed an incredibly interesting thing, isn't it?
