Chapter 57 Screening Feedback
Bang bang! bang bang bang... A violent knock sounded on the door, causing Ace Carman to wake up from his sleep.
He opened his eyes blankly, and pulled up the whole quilt again, covering his head, just hoping that this way would be able to isolate the noise from the outside, so that he could continue with the dream just now.
But the knocking on the door gradually intensified, and shouted Ace, Ace! Open the door!
Ace was so angry that his teeth tickled, he pulled the quilt back, and angrily walked to the door and opened the door, Rooney! I'm going to beat you up!
Rooney Allman is his roommate. The two are studying abroad and renting together.
Rooney raised his head and looked at Ace's unhappy face. He was not afraid at all, but jokingly said: Trust me, you can't beat me, hahaha!
Ace said angrily: You bastard, what's the matter? Knock on the door in such a hurry.
Well, he really can't beat him. Rooney is the main quarterback of the school football team. He is very strong.
Let's go to the movies. I heard from a friend of mine yesterday that there are movies that are very good.
Then don't be in such a hurry. How long has it been now? It's just after 8 in the morning. After finally taking a small vacation, can't you let me rest for a while?
You think I think, that movie hasn't landed in theaters yet. There are only a few shows a day. If you miss it, it's gone.
Where are you going to watch a movie?
Sundance Film Festival.
Ace was stunned by Rooney's answer, but then he thought that what could be shown at this time was not a theater, and only Sundance could do it.
Come on, let's go to Park City!
Rooney's excited voice sounded again.
I don't want to go, it's too far.
It's still far, and it's about an hour's drive away. I told you to go last year, and you said the same. Rooney complained mercilessly. The place they rented is a small town under Salt Lake City, which is a neighboring city from Park City. It takes no more than an hour to drive from their place. Compared with those movie lovers who traveled to the exhibition, the advantage of the geographical location is undoubted.
But Ace never likes to go, but Rooney runs every year.
Ace giggled twice, Forget it, let's go with you.
Always refuse, always a little boring feeling.
Rooney took out the car keys from his pocket and said cheerfully, Go, I'll drive.
Driving smoothly all the way, and soon, they came to Park City.
The two came to a screening list from the publicity office of the official exhibition hall, and found the movie that Rooney's friend said.
I found it. Three idiots make trouble in Bollywood, there is a game at 9:30 in the morning, in the exhibition hall No.
Then let's go.
Ace said, and walked to the front first.
The two followed the flow of people all the way to the third exhibition hall, but when they arrived at the scene, they were dumbfounded.
Because there are so many people!
Ace stood on tiptoe and looked at the long queue in front of him, and couldn't help but sighed, Is there always so many people showing movies at film festivals? Or is this exhibition hall very popular?
Turning around and seeing more than 20 people behind him, Ace couldn't help but spit out: Sheet! We've only been here for five minutes, what the hell kind of situation is this, God, this is to be arranged kill me?
Although Rooney couldn't understand the situation, he knew that this movie must be very good, otherwise there would not be so many people lining up.
Just as he was about to taunt Ace, a voice interrupted their conversation.
There were a lot of people queuing up these two days, especially in Hall 3 of the Sundance Film Festival.
But it doesn't matter, it's always our turn.
A young man standing in front of Ace suddenly turned around and said.
His indifferent mood was very good, and Ace gave the introduction with a smile: Hey! Dude, I'm Ace, this is my buddy, Rooney.
Oh, nice to meet you. Let me introduce myself. My name is Carter-Ronnie-Filmers. Just call me Carter. s.
Rooney quickly retorted: No, the one next to me is the one next to me. If I hadn't called him over, he might never have seen the charm of Sundance in his life.
Hey hey, did you say that to me? Didn't I come here? Ace said depressedly.
The amusing behavior of the two made Carter burst into laughter, I'm sorry, I usually don't do this, unless I can't help it!
Don't pay attention to him, he always likes to make fun of others. Ace said with an innocent look on his face.
The three chatted, and the topic gradually spread towards the movie itself.
It was Carter who provoked: This is not the first day I have come here. In fact, since yesterday, the number of viewers of this movie has been rising. I heard that even the midnight show at night was full. So today In the morning, I also hurried over to line up and wanted to see it. But, as you have seen, such a scene is enough to explain the problem.
Huh, yes. Rooney affirmed.
Is there anything special about this movie? Are there heavyweight actors? Ace asked curiously. In his impression, the popularity of the movie is inseparable from this factor.
Rooney looked at Ace awkwardly, not knowing what to say. It was Carter who answered Xiao Bai Ace's doubts, No, Three Silly Bollywood is not well-known from director to actor, even it is a non-English film, and Sundance never shows mainstream movies. Commercial films, this is a paradise for independent productions...
Before Carter could finish speaking, a voice interrupted him, Next.
It turned out that it was his turn already, and the staff at the counter began to remind him.
Carter didn't have time to explain, and quickly turned his first two steps.
Ace and Rooney also temporarily ended the conversation and quickly followed.
A piece of Three Silly Troubles in Bollywood!
Sorry, the morning and afternoon screenings of this movie have all been sold out. Can you accept the midnight screening? The staff said very mechanically, but still maintained a certain courtesy.
wtf! Ace, who was standing behind Carter, exclaimed first.
The staff explained again: In fact, two hours ago, when it started at 8 o'clock, a large number of people bought the morning and afternoon movie tickets first. Later, the evening one was also sold out. Now there are only tickets left for the midnight show. Otherwise, you will have to come and line up early tomorrow.
The excitement and excitement of the three people who were still immersed in the movie discussion just disappeared instantly. They really never thought that the ticket sales work would be so fast.
The tickets for Three Silly in Hollywood are less than half an hour, and the evening show is gone, but it's still before 10 am, the midnight show, when will it go, and there are many more of inconvenience.
Even Carter was caught off guard. He had encountered such a long queue before, but there was hardly such a tight supply of tickets.
This is a bit of a surprise.
But the more he did, the more interested he became. A ticket to the midnight show.
Carter took a deep breath, until his hands felt the texture of a movie ticket, and the unreal sense of illusion gradually subsided.
So the film festival tickets always sell out so fast? It was Ace's turn, his questioning voice sounded.
You can say this, but you can't say it like this. Carter hadn't left yet, and replied actively: At the film festival, there are restrictions on screening venues, and so many participating films need to be rotated, so each part is assigned and the number of screenings Not much. As a result, if the audience is particularly interested in a certain movie, this kind of problem often arises.”
Having said this, Carter paused, and waited until the two digested the information inside, and then continued: And situations like this are actually rare, because the venue is very large, three or four games a day, accommodating a Two or three thousand spectators are not a problem, and they can generally meet the demand, but the tickets are sold out in the morning, which is... very rare.
Carter's words are self-evident, the Park City audience flocked to the third exhibition hall, all for Three Silly Bollywood. At least it can be seen from the situation at the scene that after the premiere of the film, word of mouth completely broke out, igniting the enthusiasm of today's Sundance Film Festival.
Moreover, I have read the official show and several mainstream media newspapers, and many film critics are full of praise and praise for this film. Obviously, there are also propaganda factors in it.
Look, it's here, and now the official score is 3.6, which is considered to be the best work at this year's Sundance Film Festival so far.
The official scoring system of the Sundance Film Festival is a 4-point system. Generally, if it can reach 3 points, it can be said to have its own uniqueness and be loved by most of the judges.
Ace and Rooney looked at the official magazine that Carter took out, and they saw the information of Three idiots making trouble in Bollywood without any effort.
This is obviously the top recommendation of the field magazine. Next to the big black title, the bright red handwriting 3.6/4 easily attracts attention.
On the right is the official statement from the Sundance Film Festival, Thanks to director Lyman Last for bringing us a beautiful rhapsody.
This is a very special movie. The seamless transition of the plot allows the comedy in the first half to set off the tragedy that happened at the end. The portrayal of the real scene seems to be immersive, and this sad, deplorable, ridiculous, terrible The problem of education in India has been brought to us faithfully.
...It's not a preaching, it's not a simple criticism. The deep meaning of it needs to be understood by the audience. This is the thinking left by director Lehmann for everyone!
