If he had watched the film in the first place, if he had been in Berlin right now, if he had face-to-face communication with the audience...... Then, he is bound to stand up and argue for it. But, in real life, there are no ifs.

He could now sit in front of his computer, through the screen, scrolling through the posts, full of curiosity, full of anger, full of anxiety, but he couldn't do anything to help.

William grabbed his hair in frustration and annoyance, trying to say something in reply, but looked at the computer screen in a daze. He never seemed to think that Lan Li's works might not look good, or they might fail, or they might be criticized by words, as if the name "Lan Li-Hall" was quality assurance, and several previous works have proved this, until now.

There was a chaotic thought in my mind, I couldn't figure out a thought, I rubbed my head in annoyance, held the mouse again, exited the post, refreshed the forum, aimlessly, overwhelmed, and then saw another post in the corner of my eye, which was just posted about five minutes ago, and the publisher was a familiar username, "Brando Mania".

William's eyes lit up suddenly, and he quickly clicked on the post.

"The 62nd Berlinale is in full swing, and the work that I am most concerned about is undoubtedly the 'detachment' of Lan Li-Hall.

After the premiere, the first batch of word-of-mouth was released, and so far, 'detachment' seems to have fallen into a quagmire of mixed reputation, sparking countless controversies for or against, as well as sighs and arguments among fans, as if the end of the world had come. But in my opinion, it doesn't have to be.

The birth of any work of art is always accompanied by controversy. Vincent van Gogh's works were worthless before him, the music of the Smith band did not reach its peak until after they disbanded, and historical injustices such as 'Blade Runner' and 'Once Upon a Time in America' are not uncommon.

Of course, it does not mean that 'detachment' can reach the height of these artists and artworks, the point is that the young master's choice of 'detachment' is a work that itself means that he is trying to make more breakthroughs in art, so these criticisms, denunciations, disgust, and hatred are actually expected, and even raised hands to welcome.

Watching a movie is a very personal thing, and if other people like it, it doesn't mean that you like it, and if you hate it, it doesn't mean you hate it. What's more, you can like and hate a work at the same time, and the intricate emotions are difficult to describe.

After the premiere of 'Detachment' ended, it was only 24 hours before now, and it sparked such a passionate, so crazy, and so fierce debate. On the contrary, instead of worrying, I look forward to it even more:

What kind of work can create such a strong effect? What kind of work is it that has won the favor of the young master? Or what kind of work has caused such an uproar?

With the exception of the 'Pacific War', each of the young master's works has a distinct personal imprint, and I am now more curious about what performance he has contributed to this bloody work. To be honest, compared to the controversy with mixed reputations, I am more looking forward to the effect of Lan Li starring in a super bad movie in the universe, so what kind of scene will it be?

Finally, by the way, it is rumored that this is the best performance of the young master's career!"

Brando's fanatical posts are as usual his (or her) style, well-organized and clear-cut, always able to step out of the circle and read them calmly from a different perspective, and not only that, but at the end of the post, a new watercolor hand-drawn drawing is attached.

On top of the hand-drawn drawing, wearing a cobalt blue polka-dot shirt, Lan Li sits in an open-air café, his eyes are bright, his smile is warm, and the lightness between his eyebrows makes the sun gentle.

This is the latest news image of Lan Li at the Berlin Film Festival, and William remembers that he had just seen it, and the news seemed to say that Lan Li had a chance encounter with fans on the street, and had a cordial and enthusiastic discussion about the film.

Thinking of this, William's mood gradually improved. As Brando Mania said, Lan Li wouldn't mind, and he also vaguely began to look forward to what the movie was all about.

So, the two sides put on the keyboard, thought about it, and began to type, "The biggest feature of the Berlin Film Festival is their persistence and focus on art, politics/governance, and social phenomena. From this point of view, it is clear that the work was a success.

For the young master, the most important takeaway from this trip to Berlin should be to discuss with fans.

Also, the hand-drawn drawings are really beautiful!

After replying, William nodded contentedly, and then opened the post again, revisiting the angry, disdainful, critical, and condemning voices, but instead relished, among these different opinions, piece together the whole picture of the "detachment" of the work bit by bit.

Before you know it, curiosity is on the rise. William was a little eager to see the work.

Brando's fanatical post, in just one hour, the number of replies reached 3,000 floors, and the attention index increased exponentially; at the same time, the last hand-drawn picture was also posted on the photo wall, and the 24-hour like rate exceeded 200,000, which also became the fastest picture of Brando Mania to get 100,000 likes and 200,000 likes.

At the same time, the Berlin Film Festival on the other side of the Atlantic seems to be a realistic portrayal of the noise of the Internet, with more and more controversy and intensification, and expectations and curiosity are also getting hotter and more courageous, and the audience entering the cinema is increasing rapidly geometrically.

In terms of popularity and attention, the Berlinale has never been comparable to Cannes and Venice, not only because of the ice and snow in February, which is really not suitable for going out to watch movies, but also because the film list in the main competition unit is always on the edge and unpopular, blockbusters are directors and actors who have never heard of it at all, blockbusters are works from remote areas and countries, and selecting works is a technical job.

Every year, Berlin has gradually fallen behind Cannes, Venice and Toronto, which is also a serious challenge for the festival.

Audiences who are really familiar with the Berlinale often do not buy tickets in advance, but go to the cinema in person, read the house book, do their homework, and then decide which film to watch. Overall, it is not often that tickets are sold out at the Berlin Film Festival. This is also one of the dilemmas of the film festival.

But today, Monika-Hofbauer was not able to buy tickets to the movie, "What did you say?" she thought she had misheard, but the conductor replied in the affirmative, "There are no more shows at three o'clock, and there is only one at eight o'clock in the evening today." There are three other cinemas that have screenings scheduled if needed. ”

Monica opened her mouth and was stunned for a moment, "How is it possible? You mean, 'detachment', that movie that was scolded so bloody that it seemed to offend the whole world? Didn't it mean that the movie was so bad that the audience didn't like it after watching it? Why did all the tickets sell out?"

If you are scolded miserably, shouldn't it be that the tickets are unsalable?

"'Detachment', God, don't watch that movie, it's a complete disaster. A middle-aged man standing next to him who was flipping through the house books inadvertently caught the fragments of his words, and when he opened his mouth, he shook his head again and again.

"The viewing process is very uncomfortable, but it is not a disaster. Another young man who was waiting for a friend said, "I don't like that movie." However, I think it's worth watching, and maybe there are unexpected gains. ”

"That's what I mean!" Monica spread her hands, her face full of helplessness, and her eyes widened, "Since everyone doesn't like it, why are all the tickets sold out?"

"You're kidding. The middle-aged man showed an incredible expression, and then the young man standing next to him was also full of puzzled faces, "What's wrong with everyone? Is it to watch that handsome boy? This is not 'Twilight'!

"'Detachment' is a film to savor, and you should know that everyone has the right to make their own choices. On the other side, a person finally couldn't bear it anymore and opened his mouth to argue.

"Poof. The right to choose garbage?" the middle-aged man's simple sentence was full of sarcasm.

"The right to choose to identify garbage. The young woman didn't back down, "You think it's rubbish, but for some people it might be a treasure." Everyone may have a different opinion about movies. Personally, it's an uncomfortable film, but it's undoubtedly a wonderful work. ”

"Stop, stop!" Monica raised her hand to stop the argument here, "I just want to see what this movie is all about, why some people like it and some people don't." So, there is no need for you to continue here. Monica turned to the conductor and said, "Eight o'clock in the evening, then." Give me two. ”

The conductor nodded, and Monica asked again uneasily, "Do you still have tickets at eight o'clock in the evening?" The conductor smiled brightly and nodded in affirmation. Monique let out a long breath, "This is the sixth year in a row that I've been to the Berlinale, and it's the first time I've seen a film sell out, it's incredible." ”

"Yes, we obviously didn't expect that either. The conductor smiled, "It kind of feels like Toronto." The Germans laughed in front of them, but the other foreigners were confused and confused. In fact, the subtext is: the Berlinale is also a bit Toronto-like, tickets are always in short supply, and the long queues are always lively.

Berlin, which is in the midst of silence, has indeed ushered in a new atmosphere for the first time in a long time.

Monica took her ticket and smiled brightly, "Then let's see what the hell is going on." ”
