The Greatest Showman

Tessa Britton's footsteps couldn't help but stop for a while. She looked left and right, and she was quite sure that this was Lincoln Center, and this was the world-famous Juilliard School. How could she find such a landmark building wrong? However, after confirming the location, not only did the question marks not get answered, but instead became even more confused. After taking two steps forward again, looking at the bustling and uproaring crowd on the square, suddenly there was an illusion of going to the wrong venue.

Every corner of the line of sight is filled with people, even the huge crowd is not enough to describe the visual shock. It seems that there are not only 2,000 or 3,000 people here, even if there are tens of thousands of people gathered, Tessa is willing to believe it. , the whole square was shoulder to shoulder, people gathered in twos and threes, and they were dancing with excitement and talking loudly. The excitement in their expressions was hard to hide, so that the air began to boil.

It's already December, and the freezing weather in New York has begun to show its power. Standing on the square without the towering buildings on all sides, the cold wind, the hazy sky and the sub-zero temperature, even a down coat can't stop it. The invasion of the cold wave, it seems that staying outdoors for an extra second is a torment.

However, on the plaza at the entrance of Lincoln Center, the cold seems to have lost its meaning. The sprinkles of rice grains and snowflakes added a little romance to this afternoon.

Tessa's eyes widened and she was in it, still unable to believe that all this was really happening.

Today is the day of the premiere of "Me Against Cancer". Instead of planning a grand premiere, Lionsgate planned a small, ingenious premiere in the style of the city of New York.

The premiere was at the Alice-Tully Room at Lincoln Center. Lincoln Center is one of the most important art coordinates in New York. There are more than 70 art museums here, as well as the most important classical music performance hall in New York. Known as the "world center of classical music".

At the same time, the Juilliard School of Music is also located here, and Alice-Tully Hall is the internal performance hall of the college. It is not only the official venue for indoor concerts at Lincoln Center, but also the venue for the annual New York Film Festival. Students within the college also perform here all year round.

Alice-Tully Hall is a small concert space, with only 1,095 seats, the smallest concert hall in the entire Lincoln Center. However, for the New York Film Festival, this is the main venue every year, and fans from all over the world are welcome to come here to join the film festival.

Overall, Alice-Tully Hall is unique in its artistic, classical and academic quality. Compared with Hollywood's famous Chinese Theater, Kodak Theater and other popular venues for premieres, the audience seats here have no advantages, and the level of commercial attention is far less; coupled with Lincoln Center's strict control of premieres—— For example, no large booths are allowed; and the multiple controls required for media access, all of which make the Alice-Tully Hall a very special premiere venue.

First of all, movies with premieres are all commercial works, which is the premise; secondly, the works that choose to premiere here are often more literary and more critical.

Although there is no exact information, rumors say that only 500 tickets for the premiere were released by Lionsgate. It also sends a message again: this is a small premiere.

But the picture in front of Tessa was not like that. She walked through the crowd, looking for the gathering place of the fans. The premiere officially started at 5:00 pm. They made an appointment to meet at 12:00 noon. Tessa arrived at the scene at 11:20, but she was a little confused when she saw such a scene.

Wandering and getting lost in the crowd for about thirty minutes, Tessa was almost dizzy - there are really too many people here! In the end, Tyron Johansson, who had met at the Toronto Film Festival before, saw her and called her several times, which led her to find the organization.

William Taylor, Graham Hughes, Hope Baez, Chanel Laurent... These friends, either unfamiliar or familiar, gathered at Lincoln Center in New York because of the same man. It's December now, and it's the most tense time at the end of the semester. We can't walk away at all, but everyone is worried that the premiere of "Anti-Cancer" will not be very popular, so we invite people together and come to New York to spend a day. Over the weekend, I was cheering for Renly and looking forward to watching this movie for the first time.

"Jesus Christ, who was the first to say that there might be no one coming to the premiere?" This was Tessa's first reaction.

"Yes, yes, we were discussing it just now." Hope opened his eyes wide and discussed with great excitement, "After we got here, we were terrified. What happened? Why are there so many people here? We looked at it just now, there are at least 2,500 people, there must be! And it's still coming, it's not even twelve o'clock, it's crazy!"

"I even wondered, did we come to the wrong place?" William sighed, and immediately made Tessa jump up, "That's right, that's what I thought just now!" Everyone next to him laughed.

"I went to the entrance of the screening hall to confirm, yes, this is our destination." Graham said loudly, giving confirmation, everyone in sight was full of excitement, even with Graham Ham's voice was also raised an octave, and the gestures of speaking increased, and his mood began to fly inexplicably.

Tessa's eyes were still inseparable from the dense crowd around her. To be precise, the corners of her eyes were filled to the brim, "Does anyone know what's going on? Why are there so many people suddenly at today's premiere? I wasn't so exaggerated when I watched 'Fast \u0026 Furious'." Tessa was still full of question marks, "Or, what's the show at Lincoln Center tonight? The dates overlap, so that's why there are so many people?"

If it's a night of an important performance at Lincoln Center, then three thousand or four thousand people are normal.

"I asked around just now, and most of them came here because of 'crazy in love', and all of them were so crazy, as if they were really crazy." Chanel is tall and slender, just standing Next to it, it easily caught the eye, "I only found out when I was reading 'The New Yorker' yesterday that the attendance rate of 'Crazy Love' in New York is still high. The New Yorker seems to like this work very much."

It's not an unexpected answer. "And then a small number of people came because of Renly's album. I heard that 'Don Quixote' seems to have set a record, I don't know." Chanel said vaguely. , I couldn't explain clearly, so I just pointed in the direction, "There was a large group of people there, they didn't come for the premiere of the movie, they said, they just wanted to express their support and gratitude to Renly. They also prepared posters. , banners, cheer cards, I think it's more comprehensive than we are."

"Really?" Hope's eyes brightened immediately, "Then let's go over and have a look. William, let's go over together and have a good exchange. Let's see if there can be more cooperation in the future!"

They now have fan groups in the Yahoo community and Facebook, initially just to give Renly movie lovers a platform to communicate, but after the negative press of the filming of "Me Against Cancer" earlier in the year , the positioning of the group has gradually changed a little. Compared with fans, it is more like a fan group, cheering for Renly.

Hope is one of the administrators of the group. This time he came to New York to attend the premiere, which was organized by Hope and invited 500 group members to gather at Lincoln Center. However, the actual situation at the scene far exceeded their expectations, and the number of five hundred seemed to be only a mere corner.

After Hope and William left, Tessa was gearing up, "Tell me, how are we going to support? This is our first official event. To be honest, I'm a little excited!" Since she's a fan, she can't be like In the same way, just to watch the excitement, they also have to do something, hoping to add to the premiere.

"Come on, we've prepared some slogans, hoping to give Renly a surprise!" Graham greeted Tessa, turned around, and introduced Tessa to the rest of the fan group. The atmosphere became hot again. network.

The sun over the city was slowly setting westward, and the crowds on the plaza at the entrance of Lincoln Center continued to grow. The plaza, which was already crowded at noon, was already full of water when it was approaching the premiere. Hit the body, it seems that not even a fly can fly in, and the scene of shoulder-to-shoulder is spectacular.

Not to mention the audience, even the well-informed reporters were completely shocked. If it wasn't for the reporters having a special interview area, it would be impossible for them to gain a foothold here, because most of the reporters arrived at the scene after four o'clock to prepare for the premiere. This is already the case.

According to incomplete statistics, more than 5,000 people gathered at the scene! Even for a summer blockbuster, the premiere does not have such a scale, unless it is a series of fan movies such as "Star Wars" and "Harry Potter" that completely detonate the enthusiasm of ardent fans. But now, at the premiere of a low-budget independent film?

This is absolutely a fantasy, but it is actually happening.

Lionsgate, which was meant to be a small premiere, turned out to be the biggest premiere of 2011, with the exception of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" and "Twilight". Outside of the simultaneous global premiere of "The City: Breaking Dawn Part 1", no one can match it!

However, this is just the beginning.
