Chapter 273

As the largest art cinema line in the United States, landmark cinema line has 51 theaters in 21 regions of the United States, with a total of 228 screens. However, it has only such a small scale of development in 36 years. From the side, we can see the dilemma of art film.

At the moment when commercial films are popular, landmark cinemas insist on showing independent art films and classic old films, providing a platform for loyal, experienced and professional film lovers to appreciate art. Although it is difficult to operate, it has always occupied a place in the market and retained the spark of artistic creation.

The landmark cinema line of Los Angeles is located in the lower urban area, only a few blocks away from the city hall. It is surrounded by prosperous commercial areas and dilapidated slums. The crisscross of heaven and hell, the division of wealth and poverty make this area have a unique style. It can glimpse the flavor of Greenwich village in New York City, but it lacks the cultural and historical deposits.

Coming out of the parking lot, hope Bates can't wait to trot all the way to the notice board above the cinema.

This landmark cinema line still adopts the retro method of the 1930s. In the black frame, it uses 26 English letter modules to display the films released on that day. Every time the cinema changes the release list, the staff will move the stairs, climb up and replace them manually.

Today, there are four lines in the red letters. The first line is "buried alive", and the remaining three lines are "howl", "escape into nothingness" and "Sunset Boulevard".

It can be seen that the old movie on the landmark cinema this week is the classic movie "Sunset Boulevard" produced in 1950.

With a strong sense of retro literature and art, hope began to scream, "I like it, I like it, I like it!"

William Taylor and Graham Hughes can't help but smile. They missed Toronto and triliureid before. They still feel sorry. Now they finally wait for the release of "buried alive". Naturally, the three loyal fans don't want to miss it, so they can't wait to watch the midnight show at 12 o'clock on the first day of the screening.

"I told you, the movie must be wonderful! Before I went into the cinema, I knew that I would love it so much Hope's footstep is extremely light. He runs over and shouts to the two people. Then he runs to the gate of the cinema happily, looks around curiously, and finds the target on the wall effortlessly. "Look! He is so handsome! How handsome

William quickly stepped forward and saw the "buried alive" poster. He couldn't help laughing.

The whole poster is surrounded by darkness. A man lies flat in the darkness, holding a lighter in his left hand. The weak fire light dispels the darkness around him and supports a small space. His white T-shirt and fuzzy face can be seen vaguely. He can't see the specific facial features at all. He can only outline a facial line.

"Are you sure? I can't even tell if it's him or not. " Make complaints about Graham's Tucao after his death, which made William laugh.

Hope turned around unconcerned, pointed to the poster and said confidently, "I know it's him. That's enough." Hope couldn't help stamping his feet, just like a rabbit, "ah! I can't help it now. Just thinking about it, I'm about to see a movie, and I'm too excited to speak! "

This time, William did not retort.

Nearly half a year has passed since the "Pacific War" was broadcast, and nearly two months have passed since the meeting on the street after the Emmy Awards ceremony. The news about blue Lee is always boiling and endless, and their expectations of "buried alive" are rising, but they never get to see it.

William has regretted for the 101st time that he didn't go directly to Toronto.

Finally, today, finally.

"The most anticipated movie of 2010!" Word by word, hope read, "Vanity Fair!" And then he laughed brightly, "you see, this is a more anticipated movie than Harry Potter!"

Before she finished speaking, hope's voice gradually disappeared in her throat, because she walked into the hall of the landmark courtyard, and then saw the crowd inside, at least 200 people.

Two hundred people is nothing for a commercial cinema. A large screening hall can hold three hundred people; But for an art theater like the landmark theater, 200 people are almost one fifth of their daily passenger flow.

Two hundred people jammed up the hall like a flea market. It's worth noting that it's midnight at 12 a.m.

The concept of midnight scene is generally only applicable to commercial movies. The enthusiasm of 12 o'clock shows the fans' strong expectations for movies. They can't wait to watch movies at the first time. The midnight scene of "Star Wars" series movies has incredible power.

Most of the time, old black-and-white movies are played in the midnight of art cinemas. Even if the new movies are screened, the midnight will not be too busy. First, because art movies are not urgent at all, professional fans are more willing to find their own quiet time to watch them; Second, due to the limited heat of art film discussion, it's not necessary to watch it in the middle of the night. It's better to wait for everyone to watch it in the daytime and discuss it together.

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

From the Emmy Award, to the bustle of street performances, to the noise of Toronto, then to the promotion of two singles, and the pursuit of triliureid, finally to the blessing of "speed and passion 5".

There is no doubt that in the past two months, the name of "Langley hall" has been mentioned more and more, and the work of "burying alive" has also been highlighted. Step by step, it has attracted more and more loyal film lovers' interest and curiosity - the curiosity about the new actor, which has created the grand occasion of tonight's midnight show.

"My God, we can't miss the tickets, can we?" Graham's brain turned the fastest and cried out in horror.

At first, they thought that they had come early enough, and that they could buy 100% of the tickets for the midnight show in the art theater. Strictly speaking, they were still worried about whether there would be no other people in the screening hall. If the three of them had a private show, it would be very happy to have the whole quiet screening hall, but it would inevitably disappoint people. No one else could feel the excellence of lenley.

This is a very contradictory thing. On the one hand, they hope that only they find such a diamond and secretly like it on a small scale, as if they share a secret that only a few people know; On the other hand, they also hope that more people can see the brilliance of lenley and let them witness the brilliance of lenley's road to superstar and become a part of it.

But now, worry is obviously superfluous, what they need to worry about most is not the "buried alive" nobody, but whether they can watch the midnight show at the first time!

William's fastest action, without saying a word, directly stood at the back of the line, began to line up, Hopkins and Graham were stunned, followed by. The landmark cinema line in Xiacheng District is a very small cinema, with only five screens in total, so there is only one cashier at the counter. As a result, the team at the scene is winding like a long dragon, which is really spectacular.

"It seems that we missed Toronto and finally got a taste of Toronto." William's teasing succeeded in making several people around him laugh.

Bradley Adams had to make a sudden stop when he walked into the hall. He was worried that he would be late and miss the midnight show, but he was stunned by the scene. He didn't have time to see the bulletin board outside the cinema just now, so he hurried to the back of the line and asked, "excuse me, Is this the landmark cinema line? "

Nod.

"Is it 'buried alive' that's going to be shown here tonight? I mean, that one... "

Before Bradley could finish speaking, the young people nodded their heads in affirmation. The tall, thin, curly haired boy added, "it's the movie starring the young master."

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

"Young master." The three young people said with one voice, not only that, but also several other people in the queue answered, "young master."

As a senior reporter of the entertainment edition of the New York Times, Bradley can't say that he knows Hollywood like the palm of his hand, but he doesn't have a corresponding actor in his mind, nicknamed "young master", who is young master

The petite girl in the middle, with a bright smile, raised her voice and called out, "lanli hall, master lanli. Shouldn't this be the consensus of all? " Other people around us agreed with each other.

"... why?" Bradley felt that he couldn't keep up with the rhythm, but the reporter instinctively asked questions. He thought it was really interesting, and his eyes also showed a light of curiosity.

"Because... Because..." several people around bravely want to explain, that can't wait to speak enthusiastically, it's really too warm. Finally, the girl with a female's unique sharp voice seized the opportunity, "because he played a rich young master in the 'Pacific War'! Now, the entire Yahoo community calls him like this, young master, blue Li young master! Besides, don't you think he has a gentlemanly aristocratic temperament? Isn't it? Isn't it? "

With that, the girl began to scream.

Bradley thought about it seriously and became more and more interesting. "Master Langley." He murmured a few words in a low voice, which was an unexpected gain. "So, the reason why you come to watch the midnight scene of 'buried alive' is for the sake of the young master?" Bradley changed his address as he went into the country.

"Yes Around a large circle of the audience with one voice, resolute, enthusiastic to answer, the momentum is mighty, not lively.
