Eight Hundred and One Ticket Sales
If he had watched the movie in the first place, if he was in Berlin now, if he had had a face-to-face conversation with those audiences...then he would have stood up and argued for it. But, in real life, there is no if.
He can only sit in front of his computer and browse those posts across the screen, full of curiosity, anger, and anxiety, but he can't do anything to help.
William grabbed his hair in annoyance and irritability, trying to reply to the post to say something, but staring at the computer screen couldn't help but start to be in a daze. He never seemed to think that Renly's works might not look good, they might fail, or they might be criticized, as if the name "Renly-Hall" was quality assurance. This has been proven to this day.
There was a lot of mixed thoughts in my mind, and I couldn't sort out a single idea. I rubbed my head in annoyance, held the mouse again, exited the post, refreshed the forum, aimlessly and at a loss, and then I saw another post out of the corner of my eye. , just released about five minutes ago, by the very familiar username, "Brando Fever."
William's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly opened the post.
"The 62nd Berlin Film Festival is in full swing, and the work I care most about is undoubtedly Renly Hall's 'Transcendence'.
After the premiere, the first batch of word-of-mouth came out. At present, 'detachment' seems to have fallen into a quagmire of mixed praise and praise, which has caused countless disputes of support or opposition, and also caused sighs and debates among movie fans. As if the end of the world had come. But in my opinion, it doesn't have to be.
The birth of any artwork is always accompanied by controversy. Vincent van Gogh's work was worthless in front of him; Smith's music peaked after they disbanded; historical injustices like 'Blade Runner' and 'Once Upon a Time in America' are not uncommon.
Of course, it does not mean that 'detachment' can reach the heights of these artists and works of art; the point is that the young master chose the work of 'detachment', which itself means that he is trying to make more breakthroughs at the artistic level. Therefore, these Criticism, denunciation, disgust, and hatred are actually expected, and they are even welcomed with raised hands.
Watching a movie is a very personal thing. If others like it, it doesn't mean you like it too; conversely, if others hate it, it doesn't mean you hate it. What's more, I can like and hate a work at the same time, and the mixed emotions are difficult to describe.
After the premiere of "Transcendence", it was only 24 hours away from now, and it actually sparked such a heated, crazy, and heated debate. On the contrary, instead of worrying, I am more looking forward to:
What kind of work is it that can create such a strong effect? And what kind of work is it that has been favored by the young master? What kind of work was it that caused such an uproar?
Except for the "Pacific War", each of the works of the young master has a distinct personal imprint, and I am more curious about what performance he gave in this scolded work. Honestly, I'm more looking forward to Renly being in a cosmic mega-crack than the mixed debate, so what's that going to look like?
Finally, by the way, rumor has it that this is the best performance of the young master's career! "
Brando's fanatical posts are his (or her) style as always, clear in structure, clear in thinking, always able to jump out of the circle and interpret it calmly from a different perspective; An up-to-date watercolor hand drawing.
On top of the hand-painted drawing, Renly, wearing a cobalt blue polka-dot shirt, is sitting in an open-air coffee house, with bright eyes and a warm smile. The lightness between his eyebrows makes the sunlight soften.
Here's a picture of Renly's latest news at the Berlin Film Festival, William remembers,
He had seen it just now, and the news seemed to say that Renly met fans on the street and discussed the movie cordially and enthusiastically.
Thinking of this, William's mood gradually improved. As Brando Fanatic said, Renly wouldn't mind; moreover, he was beginning to look forward to what the movie "Aloof" was all about.
So, the two sides put it on the keyboard, thought about it, and started typing, "The biggest feature of the Berlin Film Festival lies in their persistence and emphasis on art, politics, and social phenomena. The reason why 'detachment' can be shortlisted The Berlin Film Festival itself shows the artistic nature of the work and its tendency to be controversial. From this point of view, it is clear that the work has succeeded.
For the young master, the most important achievement of this trip to Berlin should be to discuss with the fans.
Also, the hand drawing is really beautiful! like! "
After replying, William nodded contentedly, and then opened the previous post again, re-reading the angry, disdainful, critical, and condemning voices. Piece and dot to piece together the whole picture of the work "Transcendence".
Before you know it, curiosity begins to rise. William can't wait to see this work.
Brando's fanatical post, in just one hour, the number of replies reached 3,000 floors, and the popularity index increased geometrically; at the same time, the last hand-drawn drawing was also posted on the photo wall, twenty-four The hourly like rate exceeded 200,000, which became the fastest picture of Brando Fanatic getting 100,000 likes and 200,000 likes.
The madness and boiling of influence can be seen; at the same time, the Berlin Film Festival on the other side of the Atlantic seems to be a realistic portrayal of the hustle and bustle of the Internet, with more and more disputes, more and more intense, and more and more expectations and curiosity. More and more brave, the audience entering the cinema is rapidly increasing in geometric multiples.
In terms of popularity and attention, the Berlin Film Festival has never been able to compete with Cannes and Venice, not only because of the ice and snow in February, it is really not suitable for going out to watch movies; but also because the film list of the main competition unit is always on the sidelines, Unpopular, blockbuster blockbusters are all directors and actors who have never heard of it, blockbuster blockbusters are works from remote areas and countries, and selecting works is a technical task.
Every year, the audience flow of the film festival, Berlin has gradually fallen behind Cannes, Venice and Toronto, which is also a serious challenge for the film festival.
Audiences who are really familiar with the Berlin Film Festival often do not buy tickets in advance, but go to the cinema in person, read the catalogue, do their homework, and then decide which work to watch. On the whole, it is rare for tickets to be sold out at the Berlin Film Festival. This is one of the dilemmas of the festival.
But today, Monika-Hofbauer was not able to buy the movie tickets, "What did you say?" She thought she had heard it wrong, but the ticket seller gave a positive answer again, "Three o'clock There are no more screenings, and today there is only one screening at 8:00 pm. If necessary, there are three other theaters that have screenings."
Monica opened her mouth and was stunned for a while, "How is that possible? You mean, 'detachment', that movie that was scolded and looked like it offended the whole world? Not that, That movie was terrible, didn't the audience like it after watching it? Why are all the tickets sold out?"
If you are scolded miserably, shouldn't it be that the tickets are unsalable?
"'Transcendence', God, don't watch that movie, it's a complete disaster." A middle-aged man standing by the side was flipping through the journal, inadvertently caught the fragments of words, opened his mouth and shook his head in denial.
"The process of watching the movie is very uncomfortable, but it's not a disaster." Another young man who was waiting for his friend said, "I don't like that movie. But, I think it's worth watching, maybe there are unexpected result."
"That's what I mean!" Monica spread her hands, her face full of helplessness, and her eyes widened. "Since everyone doesn't like it, why are the tickets sold out?"
"You're joking." The middle-aged man showed an unbelievable expression, and then the young man standing next to him was also full of confusion, "What's wrong with everyone? Is it to watch that handsome boy? Not 'Twilight'! Wait, or, just to see, how terrifying is this work? Curious?"
"'Transcendence' is a movie worth savoring. You should know that everyone has the right to choose." On the other side, a person finally couldn't bear it any longer and retorted.
"Pfft. The right to choose trash?" The middle-aged man's simple sentence was full of sarcasm.
"The right to choose to recognize trash." The young woman didn't give in. "You think it's trash, but to some people it may be a treasure. Everyone may have a different opinion on the movie. Just me It's an uncomfortable movie, but it's definitely a wonderful work."
"Stop, stop!" Monica raised her hand to stop the quarrel here, "I just want to see what's going on with this movie, why some people like it and some don't. So, there's no need for you to continue here. It's over." Monica turned around and said to the conductor, "Then it's eight o'clock in the evening. Give me two."
The conductor nodded, and Monica asked again worriedly, "Are there still tickets at eight o'clock in the evening?" The conductor showed a bright smile and nodded in affirmation. Monique let out a long sigh, "This is my sixth consecutive year at the Berlin Film Festival. It's the first time I've seen a movie sell out. It's incredible."
"Yes, we obviously didn't expect it." The conductor said with a smile, "It kind of feels like Toronto." German-style jokes, the German people in front of them laughed, but the other foreigners were confused. Water, confused. In fact, the subtext is: the Berlin Film Festival also has a bit of Toronto style. Tickets are always in short supply, and the queues are always lively.
Berlin, in its silence, has indeed ushered in a new atmosphere after a long absence.
Monica took her ticket and smiled brightly, "Then let's see what's going on."
