One Hundred and Forty-Nine Maple Leaf Country

The September breeze still carried the sultry heat and humidity of summer, but it was stained with the coolness of early autumn, with the refreshing water vapor of Lake Ontario passing by slowly, and the branches and leaves at the top of the treetops began to be dyed with colorful colors. In the green ocean, intense red, yellow, and orange began to emerge. The colorful waves were turbulent and boiling. The blue sky seemed to feel this wave. The golden sunlight was flowing slowly, and the air was filled with a bright light. And the pleasant atmosphere makes people want to go outdoors, even if it is just for a walk in the city square.

Compared with the crowds of New York and the sunshine of Los Angeles, Toronto has a kind of leisure and freedom to let loose and relax. The old man walking the dog on the street paced happily with friendly smiles on his face; the pigeons in the square put the children. They were all around, scrambling for the wad of bread; the people in work suits carrying briefcases walked quickly to the side of the street, then got on their bicycles in one step, and walked away...

It was like a translucent blue sky that had just been cleaned by the heavy rain, but it was full of colorful splendor, and the mood couldn't help but lighten up.

Today's Toronto is extraordinarily noisy, filled with crowds within sight, and every corner is crowded with each other, as if the entire North American residents poured into the city overnight. Maybe not, but it's not too far off, as the annual Toronto Film Festival officially kicks off today.

Although the Venice Film Festival is still in full swing at this time, Toronto is easily favored by its neighbors thanks to its geographical advantage. Almost all works committed to this year's awards season will not miss here.

The Toronto Film Festival is very young. It was just held in 1976. The real rise is in the last two or three years. Starting from "Slumdog Millionaire", it gradually replaced Venice and became the outpost of the North American awards season.

Canadians are world-renowned for their politeness, even a little too polite, with "sorry" and "thank you" always on the lips, no matter the situation. Americans always like to make fun of this. The most famous meme is the time of the annual "Black Friday" rush. The shopping malls in the United States are completely battlefields. Before the shopping malls can pull up the shutters, crazy customers will rush in. If you go in, panic buying may even be life-threatening.

But in Canada, all the staff lined up in two lines to warmly welcome them. Customers applauded and saluted, and followed the line into the mall in an orderly manner. Even when they fight, they say "I'm sorry", and they are Canadians.

This tradition has also continued to the Toronto Film Festival. Even the worst movie, after the broadcast, the audience will collectively stand up and applaud to encourage it. Compared with the arrogant, stern and inhuman audiences of the three major European film festivals, Toronto is simply paradise. Even the film critics here are very gentle. Most of the films shown in Toronto can receive "good reviews", as if praised. .

so,

Real professionals will know that the reference value of these evaluation feedback is limited, and it will not be known until the film is released in the United States.

However, such a friendly environment is undoubtedly the best choice for publicity strategies.

What's more, unlike the three major European film festivals that have attracted worldwide attention, Toronto has never focused on awards, but is known for its large number of film screenings, mainly serving the market. Struggling between, there is only one ultimate goal: to sell movies.

This has also made Toronto a platform for major independent filmmakers to purchase films, attracting more and more independent films to seek opportunities.

This year's Toronto Film Festival is no exception, with darren-aronofsky and nata1ie-portman shooting "Black Swan", Mike-Leigh "Another Year", Tom-hooper's "The King's Speech" with Colin Firth (net-Firth), "Rabbit Hole" starring Nicole Kidman, Ben -Affleck (Ben-aff1eck) directed "The Thief in the City" and so on, all of which will debut in the next eleven days.

In fact, many films have just come over from Venice, "Norwegian Wood", "Barney's Life", "The Puppet", "The Road to Nowhere" and so on. From this aspect, it can be seen that the average quality of the 51 participating films this year is worthy of recognition.

This has also led reporters from all over North America to gather here, hoping to get first-hand information and make a brief foresight of this year's awards season. No one wants to miss such an event.

After the luggage was settled at the hotel, Renly left the hotel and walked towards the main venue.

Although he has lived in two generations, he has never even attended a concert, let alone a prosperous world such as a film festival or a music festival. Renly's footsteps began to lighten up, and Andy did not follow him for the time being. There is not only Renly an actor, there are other tasks to be dealt with, and I will come back on the day of the "Buried Alive" screening. So, until then, Renly had free time to enjoy the festival to the fullest. So, I started to think about what movie to watch today and what movie to watch tomorrow.

But the question is, how does he know what movie is coming out today? Do you want to go to the official website to check? Although inexperienced, Renly quickly figured out the process - the show, each film festival has its own show, and each year has different characteristics, not only the date and the number of the show. The arrangement, as well as the media feedback of the works released every day, as well as simple interviews with the crew members.

Opening the show, Ren Li quickly browsed the list of fifty-one shortlisted works this year. He had seen more than half of them, and he had never heard of the other half. He carefully studied the list of cast members. Some of them are local Canadian films - after all, this is the home ground, and every year the support for local films is still very strong. For example, this year's unveiling film chose Canadian forces.

Local director Mike McGowan ( ) teamed up with a group of local Canadian musicians to launch the "Hockey Musical", which tells the story of Canada's most popular ice hockey. It can be said that Canadian factors are in the blood.

Although Renly had already seen most of the works, he wanted to watch many of them again, especially when he walked into the cinema, sat in the auditorium, and enjoyed the works on the big screen. Such as Denis - Villeneuve (denis-Vi11eneuve) directed "Scorched Earth".

To this day, Renly still remembers the shock and confusion of watching this film at the beginning. Later, the director also made wonderful works such as "Prisoner", "Border Slayer" and "Arrival". What he is best at is using the camera lens. Switching and construction completes the brewing and creation of emotions, magnifies the details of the actors' acting skills, and captures the essence of the performance.

Watching a movie like this on the big screen is an absolute treat.

Yesterday was the opening ceremony of the Toronto Film Festival. Only the "Hockey Musical" was released, and the show officially started today. Renly browsed the arrangement for the afternoon and planned to watch the French cartoon "The Magician". There are almost no lines throughout the film, but it is as wonderful as an oil painting; if you still have time, you can also go to see "Beautiful Mistakes"...

While thinking, he turned around, ready to buy a movie ticket, but before he turned around, Renly suddenly saw a back close at hand, almost a palm's distance away from his own back, which really scared him. Under the inertia of jumping and turning around, his entire center of gravity moved forward. Seeing that he was about to pounce on the opponent, his muscles slammed and braked abruptly. But before he could take a step back, the other party took a small half step back, and it was too late to react. Renly could only stretch out his hands to block the other party's back to prevent the two of them from colliding with the car.

With both hands in one gear, Ren Li took a step back. Although he had lingering fears in his heart, he finally avoided the disaster; the other party was in Renli's position, and the original focus of the back was lost, and he took a small step forward, and his movements were extremely embarrassing. He turned around abruptly, the dark brown pieces fluttered gently in the air, those watery eyes were clear and gleaming with bright light, but at this time they were full of anger, and the questioning voice was suppressed and angry. ,"what's wrong with you?"

Ren Li's brows were slightly frowned. This was clearly the fault of both parties. He was at fault, but she was at fault, but the villain complained first? However, Renly also knew that such a thing was inherently ambiguous, and arguments could not reach a conclusion. Out of gentleman etiquette, Renly showed an apologetic smile, "Sorry, my fault."

With such a friendly and sincere apology, the other party seemed embarrassed to continue arguing, she nodded lightly, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Sorry, I was wrong too, I was a little absent-minded just now, I should have seen the road ahead of time. She raised her right hand and rubbed her temples. The dark brown long sash became a bun, which was hidden under the black beret. The falling silk covered most of her cheeks, and only a strong chin could be seen vaguely. curve.

"Fortunately, no one made a fool of yourself." Ren Li politely made a little joke to brighten the atmosphere, but the other party didn't show a smile, which immediately made the atmosphere a little awkward, but Ren Li didn't mind, anyway, it was just a chance encounter. He nodded in a gesture, then prepared to take a detour and leave.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, she seemed to see something, and panicked to hide behind Ren Li, the petite body only reached Ren Li's chest, and it was easy to hide, and her right hand was gently pulled. Renly's sleeves stopped him from leaving.

Renly didn't know why, so he raised his head and looked left and right, but he didn't notice anything abnormal - was the other party avoiding someone? Why does this look like a movie set? Isn't this the Toronto Film Festival? What details did he miss?

"Paparazzi!" The woman's voice came from behind, with a hint of hoarseness and tension in her voice, revealing the strength hidden in her bones in her panic, "Please help cover it up."
