It was only ten o'clock in the morning, and Chanel Laurent went out to the cinema. After the whole day of leavening and noise yesterday, the work "Buried Alive" really became famous in Toronto, even more than "The Thief in the City". Attracting more attention, so, it is conceivable that the number of moviegoers today will inevitably be more turbulent, even if there are not a few viewers who want to join in. "Eight? One Chinese" text W? W? W?. ㈠8㈠1?Z㈧W?. ㈧C?O㈧M

Today's screening of "Buried Alive" was scheduled at 5 pm, and only this one was open to the public in two venues. Chanel came out in the morning, just taking into account the possibility of queuing.

However, there were still two blocks away from the cinema, and Chanel could see the hustle and bustle of the crowd surging in his sight, which made Chanel shocked, hurriedly chasing it all the way, and then saw the terrible long queue.

All the way up from the end of the team, the team actually passed four hundred yards. Not only did they turn the entire square around seven or eight turns, like a giant dragon hovering in the open space, but the tail also extended to the next door. The street, such a grand occasion is simply jaw-dropping, the turbulent crowd is at least 500 people, maybe even more, the lively scene makes the surrounding reporters very excited, the scene of people coming and going completely detonated the first The frenzy of the 35th Toronto Film Festival.

Seeing such a scene, Chanel was immediately dumbfounded. She strongly doubted whether she had gone in the wrong place-how could "buried alive" attract so many viewers?

Unexpectedly, this is definitely an accident. The Toronto Film Festival did not expect such an accident at all.

Normally speaking, independent films like Buried Alive without big names, no gimmicks, or even backing sponsorships are often difficult to attract attention.

Although Toronto is a film festival, it is still different from the three major European film festivals. In Europe, the market for art films is far more mature and broader than North America, and the popularity of independent works at film festivals is also significantly higher. ; But in Toronto, this is a film trading market that sells copyrights. Even the only award is the People’s Choice Award. In the Internet age, lack of gimmicks and lack of publicity also means lack of audiences, and the age of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. Gone forever.

Therefore, the Toronto Film Festival has arranged the screening of "Buried Alive" at the time slot at four in the afternoon. Even though only six works at this year's film festival are screened globally, "Buried Alive" is one of them, but they still have not received special treatment; Therefore, the Toronto Film Festival has also followed the usual tradition in terms of film arrangement. There are three screenings in each of the two theaters. This is not a lot of times, but it is normal.

Generally speaking, the number of screenings of popular films is between eight and twelve, while the less popular films are controlled between three and five. After all, the film festival has a total of 51 films to be shown in just ten days. . If it weren't for accidents, three games would be enough for "buried alive".

When the Toronto Film Festival arranged the schedule and venues for the works, it did not foresee the upset of the Emmy Awards, the hot spot of "Ophelia", the uproar of the tubing and even the miracle of the bulletin board, not to mention. It is foreseen that "buried alive" will be born in an astonishing manner.

As a result, an accident occurred. After 400 yards of long queues, "Blue Valentine's Day" and "Big Thieves in the City" were easily overtaken, and they deservedly become the most watched film at this year's film festival so far.

One of the traditions and scenic lines of the Toronto Film Festival is to line up in the "Rush-Line". In addition to the screening, the screening of the film festival is generally divided into the industry and the public. The industry venues are aimed at exhibitors, producers and the media, while the public venues are open to the general public. These tickets will be open for sale before the opening of the festival. The public venues for popular movies are often hard to find and sell early. Empty.

However, for the craze of the film festival, there are other opportunities to buy tickets.

First, at 7 o'clock every morning, there will be a small amount of remaining tickets for the movie of the day on sale online. Swipe tickets online or go to the cinema to buy tickets early. This is a good choice, but such tickets are very limited and often sold out.

The second opportunity is the long peak. Before each screening starts, the unfilled seats will be shown on the spot, reserved for the audience who lined up in the long queue at the peak. The long queue at the peak is very simple and fair. First come, first served, and no one knows how many vacancies can be left for oneself in the end. Only queuing early is the only way.

Therefore, this has also become a spectacle of the Toronto Film Festival, and "how many meters in the audience line up" has also become one of the best measures of how popular a film is described by the media.

Of course, this is only limited to popular movies. Like the "Magic", at the last moment before the screening, there are still tickets left, or even not full. This situation is not uncommon at film festivals, especially for Toronto, where the acceptance of art films is generally weaker than that in Europe. So it is.

Popular tickets for "buried alive" are not in short supply. Chanel bought tickets for the screenings almost effortlessly before the film festival. In fact, there were even a lot of tickets left for the screening, which were sold on-site, and it was really a pleasant surprise that the auditorium was fully filled in the end.

Even the screening tickets are the same, not to mention the subsequent screenings. I have not bought 40% of the tickets for the three screenings in advance-there is no way, "Buried alive" was completely without any form of publicity before this, and Rodriguez completed the post-production at the last moment. , Caught up with the deadline for registration, resulting in the film’s pre-publicity almost completely missing. This film is simply an addition to most of the audience.

But who would have imagined that the tickets for the screening yesterday early in the morning were all sold, and even attracted a queue of about 30 spectators; then there was a long dragon at the peak of today, after 400 yards, such a grand occasion is simply unbelievable.

Chanel hurriedly asked the staff responsible for maintaining order at the front of the team, "Is this the'buried alive' screening venue?" After getting the affirmative answer, Chanel was actually a little dazed, not knowing what to do for a while. The other party seemed to understand Chanel's expression, smiled and nodded, "Yes, no one expected it. You'd better hurry up, or else you won't be able to rank."

Chanel reacted and sprinted quickly, and the voice of the staff came from behind, "Don't make a mistake, the row on the left is the one on the right. The team on the right is the morning team." Chanel hurriedly gestured. With the "ok" gesture, he quickly ran towards the team. It took less than five minutes for the team to extend back a dozen people. Chanel quickly stood at the end of the team and stood still, panting.

"I hope we can catch up." There was a ridiculous voice in front of him, Chanel raised his head, and then he saw the golden boy in front of him, and he extended his right hand friendly, "Tyronn-Johnson (Tyronn-Johnson) "Chanel shook the opponent's right hand, but did not introduce himself, with a questioning attitude, Tyron didn't mind, and said with a smile, "I heard that today's stadium has 600 people, and the network is released in the morning. The ticket was cancelled because the system went down, so everyone rushed over, hoping that we could still be ranked."

Chanel reacted, "But, Buried alive was the 5 o'clock in the afternoon. What about the previous games?"

"Right." Tyron pointed out. A venue will show six to seven films in a day. "Buried alive" is today's fourth work. There are three more before that, including the hit "City in the City". "Big thief", but from the perspective of Gao Longlong, the queue of "Big Thieves in the City" is even less than one-fifth of the "buried alive". Such a huge gap is really staggering. "You also heard about the good reviews of this work, so did you come here on a special trip?"

Tyron spoke enthusiastically. Chanel didn't want to talk about it, but after thinking about it, he replied, "No, I have already watched the screening."

In fact, Chanel didn’t plan to watch it a second time. On the one hand, it was because the movie was too thrilling and the watching process was really not a wonderful experience; on the other hand, “Buried alive” was not a classic in itself. Works that people watch over and over again. But in the last two days, she has been unable to forget Lan Li's face, especially the fear and panic between the lights and shadows. The immersive performance is simply mesmerizing.

After hesitating again and again, Chanel decided to watch it a second time in the end, but in the end encountered such a situation-she felt that the screening was much more comfortable.

"God, have you watched the movie? How is it? Is it really as legendary and wonderful?" Tyron said excitedly, "I heard that the actor's acting skills in this work are really outstanding~ www.novelhall.com~ Is this true or is it an exaggeration?"

Chanel didn't even think about it, and said directly, "Of course it's true!"

The exclamation was suddenly because everyone around was looking at him, and curious inquiries swarmed, "What kind of work is this?" "Isn't the male protagonist Lan Li-Hall a newcomer? "Everyone hadn't noticed it before. Why did it suddenly become popular overnight?" "What did the movie say?" "How about the actor's performance?" "I heard someone was scared to cry after watching the movie." ,is this real?"……

The chattering inquiries swamped Chanel in a blink of an eye. The people who were queuing around all looked at Chanel. In the blink of an eye, Chanel became the focus of attention, which caught her by surprise. In her eyes, she could clearly feel people's enthusiasm and expectations.

Chanel glanced at Tyron subconsciously. Tyron clenched his fist encouragingly, which made Chanel a little bit uncontrollable. Then he raised his voice and said, "Yes, the male protagonist is indeed a newcomer, but the performance is really outstanding. Now. The first time I saw him was..."

The long queue of the peak has been laid out in a mighty manner, and the craze of the Toronto Film Festival has reached a new peak.
