The Toronto Film Festival is coming to an end, but the craze has not waned at all, but has only intensified. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After the premiere of "The King's Speech", it became the biggest hit at this year's film festival, and the hot momentum easily surpassed all previous competitors, completely detonated the reputation among the audience, and only lined up ten screenings in two days, still in short supply, Gao Changlong not only broke the highest number of this year's film festival created by "Buried Alive", but also surpassed "Slumdog Millionaire", becoming the most sought-after work at the Toronto Film Festival in the 21st century.

At the same time, the performance of "Buried Alive" after the six additional performances is also really gratifying, not only are all tickets sold out, but there are still long queues at the entrance of each show, you can clearly feel that this topical work has gathered countless eyes in Toronto, and has grabbed the attention of all parties all the way, successfully occupying a place on this international stage.

Although the Toronto Film Festival does not give out official awards, only the People's Choice Award, the official will give additional recognition to some works, such as Best Canadian Feature Film and Best Canadian Debut Film, to encourage local Canadian creation.

Therefore, it is inevitable that which film will become the biggest winner in Toronto, and will carry the fruitful results of the North American opener, to start this year's awards season, which has also become the focus of heated discussion.

Among the many focuses, the rise of "Generation Y" is undoubtedly an important favorite - Natalie Portman, Ryan Gosling, Michelle Williams, James Franco, Lanley Hall, all five actors are members of Generation Y, and the performances of the five actors have been praised, and many people believe that these five actors can make a difference in the competition for acting awards in this year's awards season.

Natalie, who has been famous for a long time, is undoubtedly one of the most talked-about members, and this year's "Black Swan" has been soaring all the way since its debut in Venice, and half a month has passed, and the praise has been rising wave after wave, and has occupied a strong position before the official opening of this year's awards season.

The performance of confusing performance and reality in "Black Swan" has been vividly reflected in Natalie, and she also blurred the boundary between performance and reality when she starred in the movie "Black Swan", and she was unable to extricate herself for a while, and the difficult ballet performance in the movie was praised a lot.

However, the latest issue of "Entertainment Weekly" broke the news that Natalie used a stand-in in the performance of "Black Swan". This immediately sparked a wave of discussion.

Natalie said in an exclusive interview that due to the lack of professional training for many years, her ballet level really could not meet the requirements of the role, so a stand-in was used in the movie. However, most of the dance moves are still performed by herself, at least more than 85 percent. In the interview, Natalie also discussed at length how she grasped the beauty of ballet in the film, how she worked hard to complete the dance shoot, and so on.

Using a stand-in, this is not a problem, anyone who has a basic understanding of ballet knows that this is a professional skill that needs to be accumulated over time, Natalie, as an actor, is not up to the professional level, so it is naturally not a problem;

For a while, reporters were buzzing again, and no one knows what impact this will have on Natalie's Oscar prospects.

In the college's PR process, any negative press can become a stumbling block, as in the case of the U.S. presidential election. The most famous case in history is the battle for fame of the Weinstein brothers, who overthrew the "Saving Private Ryan" with the "Shakespeare Love History", when faced with a powerful competitor, the Weinstein brothers hired a trolls to smear the competitor on the Internet and in the media, and at the same time spent two or even three times the publicity expenses of other competing companies to carry out public relations activities. Everyone knows the ending, and it is still the most controversial in the history of the Oscars.

Now, before the awards season kicks off, Natalie has broken the negative news, and the impact is really hard to estimate. However, first, Natalie broke the news on her own initiative and confessed leniently, and second, there are nearly five months left to remedy it or make people forget. So, everything is unknown.

This revelation really made "Entertainment Weekly" gain a lot of attention, and even surpassed the "American Weekly" that was hot not long ago because of the dispute between Lan Li and James, and lit a fire again for the upcoming Toronto Film Festival.

First the "King's Speech", then the "Black Swan", and then the "Buried Alive" again shined, and before the closing ceremony, it seemed that the energy accumulated before it exploded in one go.

First, the "Hollywood Reporter" broke the news that Focus Pictures and Fox Searchlight were competing for the "buried" North American distribution rights, and the recognition of these two top independent labels was precisely the greatest praise for this work;

The Weinstein brothers' goal for each year remains the same, which is the Oscar, which reminds people of the focus topic that the craze has not completely dissipated, who can win the Oscar nomination between Lance and James. Now that the Weinstein brothers have targeted "burying them alive", does that mean ......?

Wave after wave of news about "Buried Alive", no less than "Black Swan", this small-budget thriller and suspense movie has become one of the most sought-after productions in Toronto this year.

Of course, a large part of the reason is that the distribution rights of other popular works have long been snatched up, and Toronto is already the last stop in the trading market, which allows "buried alive" to grab the attention of major publishers.

However, among the works that held their world premieres at this year's Toronto Film Festival, "Buried Alive" deservedly occupied the top spot, which is already the best affirmation.

Subsequently, "America Weekly" made a final decision, "Focus Pictures successfully won the North American distribution rights of the popular work 'buried alive'!"

"U.S. Weekly", also known as "U.S. Weekly", at this year's Toronto Film Festival, this magazine, which started with gossip entertainment news, really made a lot of limelight, first brought a wave of discussion about the "Generation Y" actors, and then broke the news about the follow-up trend of Toronto's biggest dark horse this year, easily surpassing other strong competitors, and grabbing a half-position advantage in the news reporting war.

According to reports, in the fierce competition, Focus Pictures pulled teeth from Weinstein Pictures and Fox Searchlight at a high price of $4.5 million, and pocketed the dark horse that rose strongly in Toronto this year, causing an uproar among everyone.

The deal price easily exceeded the production cost of "buried alive" of three million, allowing the crew to make a profit in one step, and it also took a place on the deal charts of this year's Toronto Film Festival, currently second only to "Blue Valentine" - Weinstein Pictures won the North American distribution rights of the work for $6 million early, becoming the top bidder in Toronto this year.

$4.5 million, this is an incredible number for an independent film, and the average transaction price of the Sundance Film Festival every year is less than 3 million, and occasionally it can burst into a sky-high price of 6 million or 8 million, but that is still a small number after all.

Hidden behind this figure, first, it can be seen that the competition for distribution rights is fierce, and it is obvious that Focus Pictures has really spent a lot of energy in order to stand out; second, it can be seen that Focus Pictures has enough confidence in the box office prospects of the film, whether it is dividends or buyouts, the next "buried alive" box office must obtain at least 8 million or even 10 million data, and the deal of Focus Pictures is not a loss.

In short, "buried alive" once again earned enough attention, and before the closing ceremony, this shiny black horse once again declared its strong presence.

However, as expected, at the closing ceremony and awards ceremony of the Toronto Film Festival, "buried alive" was not the focus of attention, and neither was "Blue Valentine's Day", and the bet between Lan Li and Ryan could not be divided into winners and losers, which was considered a tie.

"The King's Speech" came out on top in the competition, defeated the "black swan" who was in high demand, and successfully stood out and won the People's Choice Award at the 35th Toronto Film Festival, becoming the biggest winner of this event. In addition, "Scorched Earth City" won the award for Best Canadian Film, and director Denis Villeneuve managed to attract attention from all over the world.

It is worth mentioning that Weinstein Pictures as early as the Venice Film Festival, the North American distribution rights of "The King's Speech" were in the bag, and now this work has received a positive and positive voice in Toronto, judging from the early feedback from film critics, it is basically at the same level as "Blue Valentine's Day" and "Scorched Earth City"; The Weinstein brothers were clearly confident.

Incidentally, the winners of the People's Choice Awards in the past two years have been nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture.

The annual Toronto Film Festival has finally come to an end, and it also marks the opening of the North American awards season.

But for Lan Li, he only had one thought: it was finally over.
