Because the overseas market purchases the distribution rights early and late, this also makes the overseas market release schedule of "Burst Drummer" completely irregular. Intermittently, the film's release cycle lasts for a full year, and the award will be awarded the following year. When the season was announced, the film was still not completely offline in overseas markets.
The "Burst Drummer" has been on stage all over the world for a long time, constantly refreshing its own record, because the screening line was too long and the data superimposition speed was relatively slow, so that the media's popularity gradually began to decline, and finally there was no more The media has paid too much attention, and it seems to have forgotten that there is still an awards season work that is still in theaters.
Until the beginning of September 2015, "U.S. Weekly" officially reported that the overseas box office of "Burst Drummer" successfully exceeded 150 million U.S. dollars. This re-awakened people's memory, and words of admiration and praise once again became tumultuous. , Let this movie enter the public eye again:
At the end of last year, this work really caused too much discussion, and it is still vivid. I did not expect that overseas audiences also have the same tacit understanding with them. Sure enough, good movies can always resonate with culture, nation, class, etc. It is not directly related, the real test is the heart of a child who is willing to embrace art and enjoy art.
This is obviously an unexpected surprise!
The overseas box office data of "Burst Drummer" was finally fixed at 177 million U.S. dollars, not only broke the 100 million threshold in one go, but also far exceeded the standard. Although it has not been able to achieve a further breakthrough of 200 million, it is still worth a lot of attention. celebrate.
This production cost only three million US dollars, was completely uninterested in the conception stage. Even if Damien Chazele specially produced a short film and won praise in Sundance for promotion, it still did not. Being able to attract film companies that are willing to invest, this also forced Damien to wait outside the Sunset Tower Hotel, and then he waited until Lanli; and now, the film is dignifiedly sweeping 365 million around the world. The US dollar has strongly become the work with the highest return on investment in 2014.
This is a miracle and a feat. It once again proves Lanly’s unique artistic vision; coupled with the acclaimed "Nightcrawler", Sisyphus Pictures easily attracts more and more attention, regardless of Andre. Whether to play tickets, but as long as Lan Li is in the company, it means that no one can underestimate it.
Remember how the news media commented when "Burst Drummer" was fully expanded in the first week of January 2015:
Although frantic, as long as it is Lan Li, everything is logical.
The same words now apply to Sisyphus Pictures.
The sight returns to the "burst drummer", with 188 million in North America and 177 million overseas. The global momentum easily surpassed last year's "Drunk Country Folk Songs". Among the general public, we have gained more. Support and love, successfully escaped from the pitfalls of "high and widowed", and fully entered the public eye.
This has also become the biggest bargaining chip of the "Burst Drummer" awards season: facing the box office explosion of "American Sniper", it is not inferior; facing the public relations momentum of "Imitation Game" and "Birdman", it will not fall behind; the same; In the face of the "boyhood" word-of-mouth frenzy; going hand-in-hand... This seems to be an awards season campaign with no shortcomings. It can be found from all angles. Sony's classic public relations bargaining chip is really jealous.
More importantly, "Burst Drummer" has a blue gift.
Then, it's time to praise Lan Li again, but this time, there are surprises.
"You can find a thousand reasons to hate Lan Li, but you can't refute a key to love Lan Li: this talented actor can always shine on the big screen."
This is a special report from "U.S. Weekly", whose eyes are firmly fixed on Hollywood's popular darling.
"There is such a picture in the'Burst Drummer':
Andrew stared at the camera calmly. From calm and calm to sharp and sharp, the light and shadow hidden deep in the pupils reflected the transformation and growth of the heart, and he could clearly capture the critical moment of a soul's complete reborn transformation, and then the **** and cruel aura became cold. It was delivered bitterly, and the sharp and silent display of the killing/father-killing moment of overthrowing authority, self-reliance, and rebirth, gradually became an indomitable giant, and finally all converged, fell on the corner of the mouth and rose up, blooming out of perfection. The joy of the moment, the fanatical emotions vented out.
The changes within just one eye look are real, delicate, deep and vivid, and clearly show the process of transformation. The changes of emotions and the growth of the characters are perfectly integrated, completing a perfect ending for the arc of the character, which truly makes Every audience was in the same position as Andrew.
This can be said to be an over-interpretation, but there is no doubt that every audience can feel the shock coming from their faces, swallowing the audience like a stormy sea.
This is the last scene of "Burst Drummer", but it is also the moment when the movie is sublimated from a masterpiece to a classic. The completeness of the story and the fullness of emotions make the whole work full of vitality. Lanly-Hall truly interprets the ultimate in acting, from physical to psychological shock, and fully demonstrates the unique charm of the large screen, reminding the audience again:
Why movie art should belong to the big screen!
Only the big screen can truly envelop the audience in the atmosphere of the entire movie, as if swallowed, immersed in it.
But obviously, the praise and admiration about Lanly Hall is nothing new, and I am definitely not the most professional film critic among them, and he does not need my cheers to continue to contribute; today, I am even more Tend to calm down and talk about the Lan Li-Hall outside the screen:
How did this actor, who was kindly called by Don Quixotes as "Master Lanly", conquered the fans? "
After reaching the Oscar with "Love Crazy", there are endless articles, reports, interviews, and rumors about Lan Li. As the first person in the global film industry, there will never be a lack of attention focused on him. Major media He also continued to dig out different angles and levels over and over again, trying to find the secret side of this pinnacle character-definitely not a paparazzi method.
I still remember that the New York Times wrote an interview with the title "What it feels like to be Lanly-Hall" the year before last. It showed the aspect of Lanly's life from different perspectives, and it is still countless Don Quixote. Demen cherished articles that they cherish. The image of the young man on a skateboard and fluttering shirt has been successfully imprinted in the hearts of fans. For the time being, he has not been able to find a special report that surpasses such a peak.
How to dig out new ideas from the frenzy of praise and the old-fashioned topics are also the subject of every reporter and every media. Now the "American Weekly" has successfully found an ingenious entry point, starting from the "buried alive" landing in Toronto. Gavin Hunter, a veteran industry reporter who started to pay attention to Lanli, wrote this article.
Gavin Hunter, this is a name that hasn't appeared for a long time, and even forgotten by many people.
Mentioning the once sensational “hype door” can once again awaken the memory. Gavin Hunter and Cornell McGregor are best friends since the college years. Both of them noticed Lan Li at the Toronto Film Festival. , But the later development of the story has extended two lines.
The "hype door" completely disappeared from Cornell. After that, no one heard anything about him. As another important role in the incident, Gavin’s journalist career did not suffer because of completely different choices. Negative impact, but he also didn't seize the opportunity to soar into the sky.
Deep down, Gavin still suffered from Cornell's choice after all. Although he did not make the wrong choice from beginning to end, Gavin began to re-examine his work and his life and society. With different understandings, and struggling to the end again and again, Gavin chose to slow down, or even take a step back—the kind in the literal sense.
Gavin retired from the front line of the interview ~www.novelhall.com~ no longer running the premiere, no longer following the promotional schedule, and no longer traveling around the world. Instead, he returned to the editorial department and entered the field of interviews and special topics. , Planning interviews and special topics, writing in-depth reports, etc., opened up another world of journalist career.
To be honest, Gavin did a good job.
However, Gavin’s focus has never left Lanli. There are active and passive factors, and he more or less silently follows Lanli’s career curve, witnessing the birth of one history after another, and experiencing one myth after another. To participate in the creation in another way.
But after all, Gavin did not write any articles about Lan Li again--even if the editor-in-chief requested something, he would find reasons to refuse. From the participants to the bystanders, Gavin took a step back and stared quietly at Lan. Li this magnificent journey has become a witness to history.
Reporters, in addition to entertainment to death, in addition to the supervision of public opinion, their work also includes recording history.
Subtle changes have taken place in this year’s situation. As an industry insider, Gavin can also feel the restlessness and undercurrent of the rush of rain, especially after taking a step back, allowing Gavin to act as a bystander. Looking at the overall situation, the feeling becomes more obvious, including the frequent actions of Sisyphus Pictures, including the silent smoke between companies such as Disney, Warner and Universal, including the strategic tilt of Weinstein Pictures...
All of it seems to be brewing some major turning point or important event, but before the truth is revealed, Gavin is just watching but still being in it, unable to start and understand, breeds a feeling of trapped beasts, vaguely In fact, Gavin believes that this is closely related to Lanli.
In the end, this also became the deciding factor in Gavin's decision to write this topic. After many years, he finally fell on Lan Li once again.
