The North American film market is divided into five stages a year, spring, summer, autumn, holiday, and winter. Among them, the summer file is again called the summer file, and the holiday file and winter file are also award seasons. Among these, the summer and holiday periods are undoubtedly the box office kings every year, and the other three periods are naturally dwarfed.

Thanks to the advancement of the Oscars ceremony, the spring files gradually began to recover. In 2010, "Alice in Wonderland" delivered a weekend box office of 116 million yuan, plus "speed and excitement/love" fourth The Department and the fifth department also broke out amazing box office capacity during this period. Gradually, this period became the third profitable time period of the year.

Before the 21st century, the winter season was the least profitable time of the year. On the one hand, the frenzy of the awards season grabbed attention, and on the other hand, the freezing season made people not interested in movie theaters. There is a popular saying in Hollywood, "If you give up a work, just throw it away in January."

As of 2011, the box office record for the January premiere is still maintained by the "Clover Archives". When this work was released in 2008, it had a weekend box office of 40 million, and no one has been able to break it so far. It can be seen that the winter gear is depressed and lonely.

But at least, the winter file benefited from the hustle and bustle of the awards season, which is definitely the most lively time of the year for news. Many works also benefited from such attention and achieved a lot of box office results.

The autumn file has always lacked motivation, especially the rise of the Toronto Film Festival, which has caused all reporters to leave the United States. Coupled with the just-ending summer file and the new semester that has just begun, all this makes the autumn film No improvement. Until 2011, no movie had a box office that exceeded 40 million at its premiere weekend in September, and the box office record of film history was 35 million created by "Love in Alabama" in 2002.

Taken together, the box office record of the premier movie history for the winter file is 84 million in "Passion of the Christ" in February 2004, and the record for the autumn file is "Fool's Funny Show 3d" in 2010. 50 million harvested in October. The gap is clear at a glance.

At the moment when the box office of the North American premiere has exceeded 100 million, the decline of the winter and autumn files is still irreversible; moreover, quietly, the autumn files are replacing the winter files and become the most depressed time of the year.

Most of the works selected for the fall season are aimed at the annual Halloween. Countless low-cost horror movies have become the mainstream, such as the "Chain Saw" series, "Smart: Ghost Record" series, and "Scary Scream" series. , Became the biggest winner of this period. The same was true for "Buried Alive" last year. It was released in late October. Thanks to the Halloween boom, it won a big box office.

This year is no exception.

The movies released in the autumn file are generally competitive. The "Lion King", which re-suppressed 3d and released it again, unexpectedly won three consecutive championships in September, and the highest weekend box office of the entire month was only 30 million. Other award season series Works, such as "Infectious Diseases", "Warriors", "Penalty Kick" and other works, the starring lineup has top big names such as Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, Jude Law, but still has not been able to drive the box office The market is picking up. A piece of wailing.

In contrast, the Venice Film Festival and the Toronto Film Festival are buzzing and lively.

"George Clooney's new work'President Killing' has been praised again, and Ryan Gosling is well recognized!"

"Roman Polanski arrived at Water City with his new work "Killing"."

"Michael Fassbender became the most powerful competitor of the film king by virtue of'shame'."

"'The pot maker, tailor, soldier, spy' is expected to compete for the Golden Lion Award!"

"The Chinese-language movie'Sister Tao' broke out of the siege and won high praise!"

...

"The stars of the Toronto Film Festival are bleak, and George Clooney and Ryan Gosling are rushing to support."

"Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie arrived in Toronto. More than a thousand people picked up the airport and blocked the airport, detonating the film festival frenzy."

"Keira Knightley, Michael Fassbender and Vigo Mortensen landed in Toronto with their new work "Dangerous Method"."

"In the Midnight Crazy Unit, the'Raid' detonated a movie-watching frenzy, and the Toronto Film Festival ushered in the climax since the opening."

"Berlin Film Festival Golden Bear Award, Silver Bear Best Actor, Silver Bear Best Actress Winners "One Time Farewell", ushered in a frenzy of praise, aiming at the People's Choice Award, and pointing at the Oscar!

...

From Venice to Toronto, the raging news frenzy made people feel the first wave of the awards season. Many seeded players have begun to take the lead and grab the attention of major media. Compared to the box office battle in the United States, these two film festivals are much more interesting.

Not to mention the reporters, even the broad audiences have focused their attention on the two major film festivals. This year the Toronto Film Festival seems to be bleak, and there are not many hot topics in the entries, but the number of audiences has created. At the new heights, more than 400,000 people came to Toronto to participate in the film festival. Quietly, Toronto has completed the overtake of Berlin and Venice, followed by Cannes, and occupied a place in the global film festival.

Among the countless news, the blue gift that came to the Toronto Film Festival for the second year in a row has also become the darling of the audience.

"'Love Is Crazy' officially premiered, and Lanly Hall, together with Jennifer Lawrence and Felicity Jones, attended the premiere red carpet!"

"The new generation of acting leaders, Renly Hall and Jennifer Lawrence bring new works."

"Sundance Film Festival Grand Prize winner, landing in Toronto."

"In the movie-watching frenzy, more than 600 viewers were unable to buy the tickets for the premiere of "Crazy Love". They stayed at the theater for a long time and refused to leave."

"The premiere craze,'Crazy Love' is on stage, and the queue is 850 meters long! The 36th Toronto Film Festival has ushered in a strong seed player for the People's Choice Award!"

"Visiting Toronto for the second year in a row, Lanly-Hall said,'I started to feel the atmosphere of home when I revisited the old place.'"

"It's hot, and the audience in the competition unit is looking forward to the movie most. "Love Crazy" won the championship!"

"Renley Hall defeated George Clooney and Brad Pitt to become the most anticipated actor of the Toronto Film Festival."

...

For an independent film with an investment of only two hundred and fifty thousand US dollars, the promotion cost is a fantasy. Even if Focus Pictures takes over the distribution, overall, "Love Is Crazy" is still not in line with those production lineups. Independent films are on par, and it is not a big miracle to win so much attention at the Toronto Film Festival.

But in fact, Focus Pictures has been operating since the beginning of the Sundance Film Festival. At the closing ceremony of the Sundance Film Festival, "Crazy Love" successfully won the Jury Award and the Jury Special Award. It can be described as the biggest dark horse of independent films this year. At that time, it has attracted a lot of attention and even became a blue gift. One of the important bargaining chips for the awards season.

Later, Lanly and Jennifer both won nominations at the Oscars at the beginning of the year and became the representatives of the new generation. The two actors joined hands to perform in a work, which is a topic of continuous and aroused countless attention.

Focus Pictures specially edited two 30-second videos, one is the interaction between Jacob and Samantha in the movie, which is released as a trailer; the other is the interaction between Lanly and Jennifer in the filming set, which is released as a behind-the-scenes footage. . The two videos caught the right time and won a lot of attention, making people have more expectations for "Love Is Crazy".

Immediately afterwards, the wave of the summer file opening battle made Lanli famous in North America in one blast, and the name "Lanli-Hall" became intensive overnight, and then "Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 5" showed a sweeping sweep. With Qianjun’s posture, North America’s box office exceeded 300 million. In the fierce competition, it became the third place in the box office of this year’s summer vacation. Even on the year-end box office rankings, it is worth looking forward to.

Not to mention that throughout the whole year, the hot topic that has never ebbled on Lan Li, reminds people every few moments: this hot actor is rising!

From January to August, it seems that there are endless topics every month. After entering September, the "Crazy Love", which has been looking forward to more than half a year, will finally land in Toronto and officially premiere. Those who missed the Sundance Fans began to celebrate in advance; then Focus Films also set a schedule, and on October 7th, four theaters in Los Angeles, New York and Chicago will be screened.

Step by step, I have accumulated more than half a year of enthusiasm, and finally broke out at the Toronto Film Festival. People can't wait to see the work "Love Is Crazy". Because since the Sundance Film Festival, there have been too many praises for this work; also because the two works "Buried Alive" and "Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 5" have successively proved Lan Li's vision of film selection; more because of this This new generation of actor is so charming, people can't wait to see his appearance when he starred in love movies~www.novelhall.com~ So, the attention has exploded!

Even more beautiful than George Clooney, hotter than Brad Pitt, more welcome than Ryan Gosling, and Renly Hall landed in Toronto again, detonating another of the 36th Toronto Film Festival peak!

On the night of the official premiere of "Crazy Love" in Toronto, someone lined up at the theater gate twelve hours in advance. Afterwards, this proved to be a wise choice. The long line circled the theater gate three times, it seems The end is never seen, and it seems that the shortening is never seen; according to incomplete statistics, at the peak of the line, more than 1,200 spectators waited in line at the door, hoping to see the movie as soon as possible.

Every year, long queues are the liveliest and strangest sight of the Toronto Film Festival. Not only the final winner of the People’s Choice Award, but also many shortlisted films also detonated the audience’s enthusiasm for watching movies, showing Canada to people all over the world. The love of movies in this land, as well as the hospitality of the Canadian people.

This year, "Crazy Love" has become the most representative work. The waiting line of more than 1,200 spectators announced the birth of another popular work!
