The screening of "Burst Drummer" has just kicked off, and the battles of the awards season have already been staged quickly, which also confirms the degree of the work's attention.

Obviously, "Burst Drummer" has become an unknown factor in this year's awards season.

The Hollywood industry rumors and the "New Yorker" special report complement each other, and the frenzy of social networking has become a fuel-inducing agent. The enthusiasm has gradually risen, and it has become the most watched awards season work in early December; and the first week of the show The movie-watching craze has triggered countless discussions.

From the long queue forty-eight hours in advance, to the controversy over buying tickets for scalpers, to the lively talks of Bingzhuye after the end of the movie, the "Burst Drummer" created countless news during the screening stage, and then major media comments have been released one after another. The expected value of the movie since Sundance has been pushed to the highest value.

After the baptism of many film festivals, the "Burst Drummer", who is still highly acclaimed, withstood the final test when the media review was officially released.

Previously, the Sundance Film Festival’s media review was as high as 95 points. Now that more than 49 media have scored, the final media review rating of "Burst Drummer" is at 92 points. This is still the year of 2014. One of the best, the current score is second only to the annual hit "Boyhood"-after 39 professional media participated in the evaluation of this work, it still maintains a perfect record of 100 points in the media review.

Entering December, the deadline for registration for the awards season is still three weeks away. This also means that the seeded players will be on the stage one after another, but so far there have been a large number of potential winning works, dazzling, overwhelming, and faintly exposed. The demeanor of the "great film festival".

"Sister Ada", "Two Days and One Night", "Selma Parade", "Hibernation", "Fourth Citizen", "Birdman", "Sex/Evil", "Budapest Hotel", "Fox Hunter" "", "Theory of Everything", "Imitation Game", "Disappearing Lovers", "Dabbling in the Wilderness"... etc. This is a long list. When the first stage of the competition has just begun, alternate players There are too many, too many to count, and cannot be easily counted.

Amidst a kaleidoscope-like contention of a hundred schools of thought, "Boyhood" easily emerged from the crowd and has undoubtedly become the leader so far.

"Boyhood" has become the eighth media-reviewed work with full scores in history. The previous seven titles were "Citizen Kane", "Blue, White and Red Trilogy: Red", "Ecstasy" and "Rear Window". , "Casablanca", "Godfather", "Beauty Plan". The seventh in the entire long history, and also after the 1994 "Blue, White and Red Trilogy: Red", the first work to achieve such a feat in 20 years, it undoubtedly became the annual hit. .

This work, filmed by Richard Linklater, the director of the "Before Sunrise" trilogy, truly records the twelve-year history of a boy growing up from six to eighteen.

Richard Linklater recorded the time with a camera in a real sense. From May 2002 to August 2013, a full twelve years before and after, each summer vacation takes a period of time to complete the shooting. The actual shooting time is actually Only forty-five days, the age change of each actor is truly and delicately presented in front of the camera. In this way, the director tells the child's growth and the power of time, and finally settles in life, describing the meaning of life in detail. It seems simple but powerful. This is undoubtedly a bold exploration of film art.

In the past, no film company was willing to invest in the production of Richard Linklater’s work. Even independent film production companies refused to take risks. If it weren’t for Ethan-Hawke’s support, they would join hands. If Richard persuaded IFC Pictures, this work may not be published.

Established in 2001, IFC Pictures is a very, very small film production studio. After 13 years of establishment, the works produced by IFC are still not in the double digits. Their first work is with Richard Linklater and Ethan Hawke’s "audiotape" was released in North America, and the Indian film "Monsoon Wedding" was released in North America. The latter won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival in 2001, which made the studio famous.

In the past thirteen years, most of the works produced by IFC Pictures have been exceptionally niche, but there are also works such as "April Fragments" and "The Love Song of Jack and Rose" that have been frequently mentioned in the awards season. , And "Boyhood" is a large-scale project that they spent twelve years.

It is precisely because of lack of confidence, lack of funds, and lack of publicity resources that IFC Pictures did not place too much hope for the release of "Boyhood". From Sundance to Berlin, then back to North America, I participated in more than a dozen times. This film festival is trying to find a more extensive way of publicity, but unfortunately, lack of gimmicks like Renly Hall, "Boyhood" has received relatively little attention at the film festival.

Of course, "Boyhood" has repeatedly been loved by countless film critics at the film festival and has always been praised; but no large-scale distribution company is willing to buy such a "huge risk" work, and the film festival has no such courage to award such awards. A "unique temperament" work, which also makes the film festival journey of the work seem relatively plain, and it has not been able to create more waves.

In the end, IFC Pictures was a little bit shattered, and chose to officially release the work in July for a small-scale release.

Unexpectedly, word-of-mouth accumulates slowly. The movie has been released all the way to the end of the year. The cumulative box office has successfully exceeded 20 million US dollars; more importantly, the media review has reached a perfect 100 points, even Rotten Tomatoes. The freshness index is also as high as 97%, and the mass media score is also as high as 9.3. It is undoubtedly the leader of the awards season, and this has also become the most unique work this year.

Uniquely, "Boyhood" is leading the awards season, and now, the only work that can be compared with "Boyhood" has appeared, not "Birdman", not "Budapest Hotel", not "imitation game", But... "Burst Drummer".

At the Berlin Film Festival at the beginning of the year, the "Budapest Hotel" won the award of the jury, and its excellent reputation continued to the end of the year; at the Venice Film Festival in September, "Birdman" received unanimous praise from the North American media and became the first award season. A seeded player; in the subsequent Toronto Film Festival, the "imitation game" defeated a group of strong opponents to win the People's Choice Award and won the hearts of North American audiences.

However, the media reviews of the above works have not been able to challenge the dominance of "boyhood"——

"Budapest Hotel", 88 points; "Birdman", 87 points; "Imitation Game", 73 points.

Until the debut of "Burst Drummer", the expected value accumulated since Sundance was finally released in the first week of December. The 92-point media review made this work surpass all in one fell swoop. The competitor became the second work in the awards season to break the 90-point threshold, second only to "boyhood", which directly changed the entire competitive landscape.

This also proves that Harvey Weinstein’s concerns are not unreasonable; it also proves that the "New Yorker" article appeared at the most ingenious moment-since "Burst Drummer" has been unanimously praised by film critics , Then can its prospects for the awards season be smooth sailing? If not, then...

The media review only represents the opinions of professional media. The high score of 92 points also continues the strength of Lanli. The Rotten Tomatoes score represents the opinion of the mass media: obviously, they also like Lanli as always. , And he doesn't skimp on his words of praise.

A total of 288 media outlets gave comments, of which 269 were certified fresh, and the final freshness index reached 93%; the average score of the mass media’s full 10 points was 9 points, which was basically the same as that of professional media. Media review; the most incredible thing is the popcorn index——

Ninety-six percent!

How incredible is this number? Simply list the two works, the popcorn index of "Interstellar Crossing" is 85%, and the popcorn index of "Big Hero 6" is 92%. In other words, the average audience The degree of liking and expectation of "Burst Drummer" easily surpassed the two commercial movies ~www.novelhall.com~ and even surpassed the family's "Big Hero 6", which can only be described as "unbelievable".

The benchmark for the popcorn index is the cinema score and the IMDB score, but because the "burst drummer" is currently in the screening stage, the cinema score cannot be scored, which also makes all the attention to be focused on the IMDB, this work does not disappoint. The ground detonated word of mouth among the enthusiastic fans.

The game will be separated at 8:7!

Just less than five months ago, "Interstellar Crossing" separated the game by 8.8 on top of IMDB, making it into the top ten of IMDB's 250 masterpieces, creating the best of Lan Li's career, and now the film's best The score gradually began to fall, but it was still stable at 8.5, temporarily ranking 28th out of 250 masterpieces.

Then, "Burst Drummer" turned out.

This small-cost independent work started with a super high rating of 8.7 points. However, due to the insufficient number of ratings during the screening stage, it has not been included in the IMDB's 250 best works list for the time being; however, with such a result In terms of calculations, the works can easily rank among the top 20, which is equal to the scores of works such as "Forrest Gump", "Inception", "Flying Over the Cuckoo's Asylum", and "Good Guy".

Although everyone knows that with the increase in the number of scores, the scores will inevitably fluctuate, but within one year, Lanli has dedicated two works with IMDB scores of more than 8.5 points, which is very intuitive and very efficient to make people feel To Lanli, the word-of-mouth among veteran movie fans and avid movie fans is rising.

From box office to word-of-mouth to image prestige, now "Len Li-Hall" has truly become a signature! Such an incredible reputation has also become an advance notice of the box office explosion of the "Blasting Drummer", and the art theater line in the screening stage has instantly become the favorite place of the people in North America.
