As the largest art theater chain in the United States, Landmark Cinemas has 51 theaters in 21 regions across the United States, with a total of 228 screens. The 36-year exhibition has only such a small scale, which can be seen from the side. The dilemma of art cinema.

At a time when commercial films are popular, Landmark Cinemas insists on showing independent art films, as well as classic old films, providing a platform for loyal, experienced and professional film lovers to appreciate art. Although the operation is difficult, it is always in the market. Occupy a place and retain the fire of artistic creation.

LA's landmark cinema line is located in the lower/downtown area, just a few blocks from City Hall, surrounded by bustling business districts and run-down ghettos, the intersection of heaven and hell, the division of rich and poor, making this area unique style, you can faintly catch a glimpse of the taste of New York's Greenwich Village, but it lacks the heritage of culture and history.

When he came out of the parking lot, Hope-Baze couldn't wait to trot all the way over, and when he looked up, he saw the bulletin board above the theater.

This landmark theater line still adopts the retro method of the 1930s. In a black frame, it uses modules of 26 English letters to display the film works released that day. Every time the theater changes the release list, The staff will carry the stairs, climb up, and replace them manually.

Today, the red letters above are written in four rows, the first row is "Buried Alive", and the remaining three rows are "Howl", "Escape into Nothingness", and "Sunset Boulevard".

It can be seen that the old movie played on Landmark Cinemas this week is the classic movie "Sunset Boulevard" produced in 195o.

The strong retro literary atmosphere rushed towards him, which made Hope unable to stop screaming, "I like it, I like it, I like it!"

William Taylor and Graham Hughes, who followed behind, couldn't help smiling. They missed Toronto and Telluride before, and they still feel regretful. Now they finally wait for the release of "Buried Alive". Renly's loyal fans naturally don't want to miss it, so on the first day of the screening, they couldn't wait to come to watch the midnight show at twelve o'clock.

"I told you, the movie must be wonderful! Before I entered the cinema, I knew that I would definitely like it!" Hope's footsteps were extremely brisk, he ran over in a flash, shouted to the two, and then cheered again He ran to the entrance of the movie theater, looked around curiously, and found his target on the wall effortlessly, "Look! He is so handsome! Really handsome!"

William walked forward quickly, and when he saw the "Buried Alive" poster, he couldn't help laughing.

The entire poster is surrounded by darkness. A person is lying flat in the darkness, holding a lighter in his left hand. The faint flame dispels the surrounding darkness and supports a small space. He can vaguely see his white t-shirt and shirt. There are blurred faces, and the specific facial features cannot be clearly seen at all, and only a facial line can be drawn.

"Are you sure? I can't even tell if it's him or not." Graham's groan came from behind, which made William laugh too.

Hope turned around indifferently, pointed at the poster, and said confidently, "I know it's him, that's enough." Hope couldn't help but start stomping his feet, like a bunny, "Ahhhh I can't help it now, just thinking about it, I'm going to see the movie soon, and I'm too excited to speak!"

This time, William did not refute.

It has been nearly half a year since the broadcast of "War in the Pacific", and it has been almost two months since the street encounter after the Emmy Awards ceremony. The news about Renly has always been buzzing, and their expectations for "Buried Alive" are valued. It climbed steadily, but it was never seen.

William has regretted the thousand and one times that he did not go directly to Toronto.

Finally, today finally arrived.

"The most anticipated movie of 2010!" Hope read word by word, "'Vanity Fair'!" Then he laughed brightly, "Look, this is better than 'Harry Potter' Even more exciting movies!"

Before the words were finished, Hope's voice gradually disappeared in her throat, because she walked into the lobby of the Landmark Cinema, and then saw a bustling crowd, at least two hundred people.

Two hundred people is nothing for a commercial theater chain, a large screening hall can accommodate three hundred people; but for an art theater chain like Landmark Cinemas, two hundred people is almost equivalent to five of their daily passenger flow. one part.

Two hundred people blocked the entire hall, and it looked like a flea market. It is worth noting that this is a midnight show at twelve o'clock in the morning.

The concept of a midnight show is generally only applicable to commercial movies. The frenzy of the twelve o'clock show shows that fans have strong expectations for the movie and can't wait to watch the movie at the first time. The midnight show of the "Star Wars" series of movies It's incredibly powerful.

Most of the time in the midnight show of the art theater chain is to show old black and white movies. Even if it is a brand-new movie that is being screened, the midnight show will not be too lively. First, because art movies are not in a hurry at all, professional fans are more I am willing to find a quiet time of my own to watch it slowly; secondly, because the discussion of art films is limited, the pre-emptive viewing at midnight is completely unnecessary. It is better to wait for everyone to watch it during the day and then discuss it together.

But today, the midnight show of Landmark Cinemas completely reversed this idea. Two hundred people, two hundred people! This is just the case of this landmark cinema.

From the Emmy Award, to the liveliness of street performances, to the noise of Toronto, then the promotion of two singles, and the popularity of Telluride, and finally the blessing of "Degree and Passion/Love 5".

There is no doubt that in the past two months, the name "Renly-Hall" has been mentioned more and more times, and at the same time, the work "Buried Alive" has been touched. The interest of more and more loyal movie lovers, as well as the curiosity about the new actor, has created the grand occasion of tonight's midnight show.

"My God, we can't buy tickets, right?" Graham's brain turned the fastest and shouted in horror.

Originally, they thought that they had come early enough, and that it was a midnight show in the art theater chain, and 100% of the movie tickets could be bought. Strictly speaking, they were still worried about whether there would be no other people in the theater. If it is a private show, although it is very happy to have the entire quiet auditorium, it is inevitably disappointing, and no one else feels the excellence of Renly.

This is a very contradictory thing. On the one hand, they hope that they are the only ones who have found such a diamond and secretly like it in a small area, as if they share a secret that only a few people know; on the other hand, they hope that more people can see Renly Let them witness the brilliance of Renly's path to superstardom and become a part of it.

But now, the worry is obviously superfluous. What they need to worry about most is not "buried alive" and no one cares, but whether they can watch the midnight show for the first time!

William moved the fastest, without saying a word, he stood at the back of the line and started to line up. Hope and Graham were stunned, and then followed. This landmark cinema line in Xia/cheng district is a very small cinema with only five screens in total, so there is only one cashier at the counter, which leads to the fact that the line at the scene is coiled like a long dragon, which is really spectacular. .

"It seems that we missed Toronto and finally experienced a Toronto experience." William's ridicule successfully made several people around him laugh lowly.

Bradley Adams had to slam on the brakes after walking into the hall in a hurry. He was worried that he was late and missed the midnight show, but the scene in front of him made him stunned. He didn't. I had time to look at the bulletin board outside the cinema, so I hurried to the back of the line and asked, "Excuse me, is this the Landmark Cinema?"

nod.

"Is it 'Buried Alive' at the screenings here tonight? I mean, that..."

Before Bradley could finish speaking, the young people in front of him nodded in unison, expressing affirmation, and the tall, thin, curly boy added, "It's the movie that the young master starred in."

Bradley thought it was fixed, but now he was confused, "Who?"

"Master." The three young people said in unison, not only that, but the other people in the queue also answered unevenly, "Master."

As a senior reporter on the entertainment page of the "New York Times", Bradley can't say that he knows Hollywood well, but it's not far away, but there is no corresponding actor in his mind, nicknamed "Master". , "Who is the young master?"

The petite girl in the middle with a big smile shouted loudly, "Renly-Hall, Master Renly. Shouldn't this be the consensus of everyone?"

"...Why?" Bradley felt that he couldn't keep up with the rhythm, but reporter Ben/Neng asked. He thought it was really interesting, and his eyes showed curiosity.

"Because...because..." Several people around were bravely trying to explain, and the eagerness to speak was too enthusiastic. In the end, it was the girl who grabbed the opportunity with a sharp voice unique to women, "Because he was in' He played a rich young master in "War in the Pacific"! Now, the whole Yahoo community calls him that, Master, Master Renly! And, don't you think he has a gentlemanly aristocratic air about him? Don't you? Isn't it? ?"

As she spoke, the girl couldn't help but start screaming.

Bradley thought about it seriously, the more he found it interesting, "Master Renly." He murmured a few words in a low voice, which was an unexpected gain, "Then why did you guys come to watch the 'Buried Alive' midnight show? , is it for the young master?" Bradley changed his name as the locals did.

"Yes!" A large circle of the audience answered in unison, decisively and enthusiastically, with a mighty and lively voice. 8
