Hollywood legendary director

The next day, various newspapers and magazines quickly published media evaluations on "Old Nowhere".

Although everyone at the press conference ended easily like a cutscene, this did not affect the recognition and popularity of "Old Nowhere". The film critics did not hide their love for the film.

This trend quickly spread to the audience, or between those who have watched the movie and those who have not yet seen the movie.

Because it is in Cannes to compete for the grand prize, and the daily schedule is destined that not many fans will be able to see the film in the first time. In general, the number of viewers is relatively small, so it is a kind of show off. And the feeling of superiority appeared.

On some online forums and movie sites, many people who have watched movies can’t help but speak on them and promote spontaneously, and the topics are also focused on the characters that leave a vivid impression and some movie details——

"Highly recommended. Lehman's new work is really exciting. From the beginning to the end, I don't want to miss every minute."

"Anton's handcuffed murder and that gas tank gun are too awesome, right? Like a god of death, even the killing methods are different."

"Yeah, every time I see his grim expression, I know someone is unlucky."

"Guess the design of the coin is the essence, but who is right? This is just Anton's own wishes. What principles are the strong points. This man is a lawless, lunatic and pervert with no emotional fluctuations. The acting is true. Not bad."

"Actually, the part of Monterey's death looks quite relieved. This man's hands are also covered with blood, but the camera didn't deliberately point out. For example, the two families that disappeared at the beginning, I'm sure they were killed. Up."

"Tommy-Lee-Jones played the policeman Ed also very well, that kind of powerlessness, very uncomfortable. Every time he is so weak, he is a tragic character, but later he retired, and he is enjoying his old age. "

"No one praised Josh Brolin's Moss? That hotel scene, he had back and forth with Anton, was also the first head-to-head confrontation to wound him and beat him back, but a few died In my hand, the hiding place has been leaked."

"This movie hasn't been smooth for anyone, it's always full of accidents."

"Unfortunately, Anton was not hit by a car and ran away limply. At the end, it didn't say whether he was caught?"

"It's an open end. It doesn't matter whether you catch it or not. The movie is about being at a loss in the face of a rapidly developing society. If you catch him, the atmosphere will not return to the past."

"It's really good-looking, I want to see it again, but it's too difficult to line up."

"Similarly, it took an hour to go in yesterday, but when I went today, the ticket was gone..."

Everyone talked about the screening of "Old Nowhere" on the Internet.

The plot, characters, and soundtrack are all very good. No wonder everyone is so enthusiastic.

Others who didn't see the movie were waiting even more, and their expectations were full.

After Cannes, the movie will not be released until May 24th. Only 3 days of waiting has left some North American movie fans tormented. If you don’t want to wait, you can only go to the film festival to watch the movie. Of course, this cost Does it make people hesitate too much...

Ever since, I can only watch the heated discussions in the forum by those who have seen it in advance.

......

On the scene of the movie palace, there is another screening of "Old Nowhere" every day.

A long line had already formed outside the theater.

The dissatisfied one at the back complained: "Can't we add more exhibition halls? It's not that we have to show those very dull movies."

"Don't tell me, I didn't get in the line yesterday, and it seems to be hanging today."

"Just one game a day, how can you grab it, it won't work an hour in advance."

Influenced by newspapers and magazines, after learning about the quality of "Old Nowhere", the fans first had the goal of watching the movie, and then they were quickly defeated by reality.

Can't get a ticket in line?Of course it is the trouble to find the organizer.

In fact, the organizers also have a headache. Seeing the show, they also want to increase the heat, but the problem is that the one-day shift is already very resource-oriented. If you really give it more, where can you save it?

The 21 shortlisted films should always be screened. The excellent ones should be screened more than a few times. Then the problem is that it is less than a week and a half of the screening period. So many works must be properly allocated. , They have worked very hard to solve the difficulties.

But seeing the tourists are not satisfied, they can't ignore it.

So Liam took the initiative to talk with EMI, Gaomeng, and Europa's top executives, looking at the heat and preparing to add fire.

This method of burning is naturally something that was shown on the French cinema.

Originally, the original plan of Blue Butterfly Pictures was to first hype the word-of-mouth, then release in North America, and then slowly transition to global distribution-because of insufficient distribution capabilities, everyone except the six major players played like this. As for simultaneous screening, More need sufficient co-resource ability, most people want to play without this foundation.

However, anyone who wants to show such a high-profile show can't be wasted.

Anyway, Blue Butterfly Pictures prepared the film copy in advance. At that time, it was thinking about promoting North America, but now it seems good to put it on the French cinema first. After all, the Cannes Film Festival attracts so many tourists and does not earn movie ticket money. Isn't such a good platform time wasted in vain?

Therefore, after urgent negotiations, a set of plans was released.

On May 24, "Old Nowhere" will be screened together in France and North America. Several French studios are willing to provide 3,200 theater screens and the highest priority share of the film, but the distribution cost will be taken away from the box office revenue. 18/18, publicity expenses are included.

Such a cooperation agreement cannot be said to have the advantage. If you do not hurry up, it may be more beneficial to Firefly, but several studios have also promised to pay attention to distribution.

A few companies are united in their efforts to catch up on the heat, and then grab the profits.

As soon as this news came out, it finally eased the pressure of screening.

After all, if the theater line joins, the issue of additional venues is not a problem, because such a market capacity can not be filled with such a small tourist base.

On the other hand, the media's evaluation enthusiasm is still fermenting.

Even some of the higher-selling newspapers and magazines in Hollywood on the other side of the ocean have given internal feedback on "Old Nowhere".

"Variety" praised it, ""The Old Nowhere" is a squandering attempt by Luster's new talent."

The Boston Global Times said, “The movie is the best insight about a disorder of fate. When the foreshadowing is over, the fierce guys will appear one by one. The expressiveness can shock people.”

"On the big stage bounded by Texas, New Mexico and the border, the violent episodes are progressively dramatized, like a fierce race with death."-"Hollywood Report"

"This film focuses on the social ills of the new millennium only slightly. Between various transitions, the lights are relentlessly projected on several characters. It can be described as the beauty of white space."-"Los Angeles Daily"

In the official film manual of Cannes, the comprehensive media rating was also released soon.

"Old Nowhere" got 3.6 points-four points.

The previous highest was John Bowman's movie "Glorious Years" with 3.5 points.

Of course, Cannes has always had cases where the media scored high and failed to win the award. This score is just a pleasure to watch, because a small number of people make comments and the organizing committee does not recognize it at all.

This is like scoring each other among film critics, only representing the opinions of a few people.

Of course, the feeling of being recognized is still good.

Speaking of it, Lehman has been rushing the show since the premiere, and even the busy preparation of "Untouchable" project has been put aside.

Then, on the morning of May 22nd, Liam hurried back to Los Angeles to preside over the overall situation, but also left a few deputies to continue trading copyrights and collect enough valuable screening sources.

Such a grand event is convenient for many practitioners.

Making a name, attracting investment, and even gaining contacts and networks are all things that many people need.

And parties, watching movies, and investment receptions are also ways to make friends all the time during Cannes.

Lehman began to get busy every day for similar activities.
