If anyone opens the latest official Sundance issue, they are greeted with a rare sight—all the accolades swarming toward the same actor, Renly Hall. ``し

This is the holy land of independent films. Compared with actors, independent film forces are the protagonists. This is also the biggest difference between Sundance and other film festivals: people here are more willing to praise the film itself or independent directors, hoping to attract more Much attention.

Throughout the history of Sundance, the Coen Brothers, Quentin Tarantino and others who have achieved high status are all directors, and even Robert Redford, the founder, is here as a director. beat the world. In the awards system of the Sundance Film Festival, there are no awards for actors at all.

Now, Sundance's official publication has rarely piled up all the praise on one actor, which is indeed an unusual and huge surprise.

A detailed look at the official magazine shows that this is not the first time Renly has received attention, and "Crazy in Love" is his third work.

Before that, the first work "Pacific War" won him an Emmy Award, the second work "Buried Alive" took its place in awards season, and now, the third work has been harvested at Sundance. A sought after.

What was even more commendable was that Renly was only twenty-one years old.

If he is not a genius, no one would believe that it is almost impossible for him to win such unanimous praise from the media even for the second generation of stars with a strong background. Then, "genius" is the only explanation.

In an instant, all eyes were focused on "Love Crazy": the average score of twelve media reached 88 points!

For reference, the media review of "Blue Valentine's Day" is 81 points.

Of course, "Blue Valentine's Day" has been released in the United States, and the number of rating media has reached 33, with an average score of 81 points, which is enough to prove the excellence of this work and successfully occupy a place in the awards season.

And now "Crazy Love" only has only twelve media. After the official release, after the data of the ratings increases, it is bound to fluctuate. As for whether it will rise or fall, no one can predict.

But the excellent evaluation of 88 points is enough to make people deeply feel Sundance's respect for this work. This is the highest rated work since its unveiling at Sundance this year, and it is also the most discussed and premiered work.

So, naturally, "Love Crazy" has become the focus of everyone's attention, and almost everyone is discussing and hotly discussing: What kind of movie is this? What kind of performance did Renly put on? How good is a work that can win such unanimous praise from the media?

More importantly, it is not the director, not the work itself, but the actor. This movie actually made the rise of an actor? Moreover, the three protagonists of the film are all highly praised, which is really rare. The expectation value seems to have broken the table.

Eli Wallach looked at the mighty queue in front of him, his face full of confusion, and his footsteps stopped involuntarily.

As a reporter for the "Seattle Post", he naturally knows that the audience at the Sundance Film Festival is enthusiastic, and that professional fans of independent films are definitely a powerful force in the industry that cannot be ignored, but queuing is not Sundance's feature. .

Because the audience here is so eclectic about the movie and missed it, they have countless other options to come back and watch it at a later screening. Even if there are occasional queues, it's not too exaggerated - after all, this is not Telluride, and those big-name actors with appeal are very rare.

But today, Eli felt dazzled. Within sight, at least 800 people were queuing up, and the winding line was no less than the long queue in Toronto. In such a scene, let alone one game, the tickets for the next three games are estimated to be sold out.

Such a grand event, who could have expected it before the unveiling of Sundance this year? Strange things happen every year, especially this year.

When Eli first met Renly on the red carpet of the Emmy Awards, he felt his wit, humor, wisdom and calmness, and he was very optimistic about Renly's future. But Renly's rise is really fast. In just four and a half months, the name of this newcomer has been widely spread in the industry, which is eye-catching.

Eli didn't have time to keep up with Renly's footsteps, and had already watched Renly ride out of the dust. At this time, the discussion craze about "Buried Alive" in Hollywood has not yet settled, and "Crazy Love" has caused a storm in Park City again. This... This is simply incredible!

Eli opened his mouth involuntarily, walked to the front ticket counter in disbelief, tried to interview the ticket sales staff, politely nodded and apologized to the people who were queuing, then asked, "Excuse me, where is this place? 'Love Crazy' ticket line?"

"Yes. But would you please line up?" The staff member was so busy that he didn't turn his head, he answered hastily, and then pointed to the line behind him, motioning for Eli to line up.

Eli was dumbfounded and had to explain, "No, I'm a reporter..."

But before the next words could be said, the staff directly interrupted, "Even reporters have to line up. This is Sundance, not Toronto."

The Toronto Film Festival has a media field, but Sundance does not, which is the same as Telluride. Fans are at the heart of both festivals.

Eli laughed dumbly and shook his head, "I didn't come to line up, I came to interview." After saying these words, the other party's face finally softened. "Excuse me, do you have time now? Or, is there any staff member who is resting who can accept my brief interview?"

The staff member looked embarrassed, looked at the mighty team in front of him, and, behind him, a man who was drinking water came up, patted his shoulder, motioned for him, and walked towards Eli, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"I want to ask, how many games are 'Love Crazy' lined up today? How are the ticket sales?" Eli asked quickly.

"Four games. Today, according to the plan, there are four games in total. One in the morning, two in the afternoon, and one in the evening." The staff member looked very young and should be a volunteer. He would come to St. Dan Si helped organize the work, but his conversation was very organized. He should have had a lot of experience in the past. "The tickets for the first two games have been sold out, and the third game is also close to the pan."

Eli's eyes widened, "Does this happen often at Sundance?"

The young man smiled and shook his head, "No. At least, never in the five years I've been a volunteer at Sundance. This is the first time."

Eli turned his head and looked at the huge team, which didn't seem to have diminished at all. It is certain that most people should not be able to buy tickets today, "Then what should they do? The rest of the team should How to do?"

"As far as I know, today in Park City, a total of three venues have arranged the 'Love Crazy' screening, and they can go to other venues to try their luck first." Before the young man could finish his words, he saw Eli smiled humbly—Eli came from the venue on Main Street just now, where it said "tickets are sold out", and he came here.

The young man paused slightly, and then continued, "If they still don't have it, then they can only come and line up early tomorrow."

Sundance movie tickets will not be pre-sold in advance. In order to ensure the fine tradition of movie fans queuing for tickets, they refuse to buy tickets online in advance, and still maintain the most primitive way of selling tickets. Tickets are purchased on the same day and valid on the same day.

Eli was really surprised.

If there was a shortage of "Buried Alive" tickets in Toronto before, it was because the film festival organizers were not well prepared and the number of screenings for the film was limited, which led to long queues.

So this time at Sundance, that reason no longer applies - three venues, four a day, which means a total of 12 games, which can accommodate nearly 2,500 spectators. This is definitely enough for Sundance.

But now, it is obvious that "Crazy Love" has once again fallen into a situation where it is hard to get a ticket, and the enthusiasm of the audience is really beyond imagination.

In Eli's view, "Crazy in Love" is part of the reason, and Renly's acclaim is part of the reason. In addition, "Buried Alive" has a strong momentum in awards season. In the past month or so, there has been a lot of news about Renly. As the Golden Globe Awards just ended and the Oscar nominees are about to be announced, the enthusiasm of the audience is naturally more intense.

But no matter what the reason is, "Love Crazy" has ushered in a fanatical pursuit, which is a fact that is unfolding in front of us.

"However, considering the popularity of the movie, we will adjust the schedule tomorrow and add more scenes as appropriate." The young man seemed to understand Eli's intention and took the initiative to explain, "What is certain now is that the midnight show has been added two times. , you can buy it after ten o'clock in the evening, and the plan for tomorrow's addition is still under negotiation."

Eli felt that he was a bit short on words. Under such a grand occasion, any modified words seemed redundant and pale. Only when he really felt the heat wave on the scene could he appreciate the supreme treatment received by the movie "Crazy Love", "Then , have you watched the movie?"

The young man who had been calm all the time suddenly became embarrassed, "This is my personal situation."

Eli couldn't help laughing, "This is just a private conversation between us and will not be included in the interview. I personally haven't watched the movie, so I can't judge. Do you like it?"

The young man paused for a moment, then said with a smile, "Personally, I don't like the whole movie, because it's too emotional, and I'm not very comfortable with it. But the actors' performances are really good, and they really bring the audience to the fore. Substitute into it. In fact, one of the reasons why I don't like it is this, when watching a movie, the whole person will be substituted into that kind of emotion by the actors, and I can't extricate myself..."

As if in response to his words, there was a bustling noise from the side. Today's first screening of "Crazy Love" is over.
