Thursday, October 20th, it was a dull Thursday. The North American film market in the fall season was already sluggish, and the "Doom" premiered this week really lacked gimmicks and could not trigger more discussion. But in New York, the world's number one city, Greenwich Village in the lower/city district, was a night of carnival.
This area that retains the legacy of hippie can definitely be said to be one of the most distinctive areas of the Big Apple. The landmark theater located here is also highly sought after by nearby residents - watch an old black and white movie in the art theater, listen to a community in the jazz bar, and then party with artists on the streets... Such a night can always make people intoxicated. Tonight seems no exception.
The two landmark theaters, which are only four blocks away, jointly dedicated the most noisy, bustling and exciting night since the beginning of autumn this year. From 8 pm, all the screening halls of the two theaters began to rotate continuously, and the long queues at the door were never interrupted. Even the three events at 2:00 a.m., four:00 and six:00 are no exception. The vast team made the theater lively. People gathered all night long, drinking beer, playing guitars, and talking nonsense.
After the audience in the previous game left the cinema, they stayed one after another, joined the discussion around with excitement on their faces, and then waited for the audience to end in the next game, gathered together in groups of three or three to continue the discussion.
Matt is one of them. He knew he had to go to work this morning, but he didn't care at all. He seemed to have returned to the crazy life of college. Matt stood at the door, grabbing a bottle of beer, and spoke out his own remarks and opinions. They discussed "Fruit Hard Candy" to Lance's criminal trilogy, to the works of Woody Allen and Martin Scorses, to Stanley Kubrick, Paul Thomas Anderson, and finally back to "Fruit Hard Candy". The collision of thoughts kept the spirit in a high degree of excitement and could not stop at all.
When the mood reached the commanding heights, a group of people flocked to another old cinema in the next block to watch the "Sin City" in the midnight venue. After the movie ended, it was bustling again, and discussions returned to the entrance of the landmark cinema, gathered with the new partners who had just finished watching the movie, and continued to discuss every detail in the "hard fruit candy", from lines to plot, from costumes to room decoration, from characters to core... passionately, dancing, and arguing with red face.
It was not until the rising sun slowly rose by the horizon that when the first beam of sunlight teared through the black night, people noticed the passage of time.
Matt left the landmark theater reluctantly, walked towards Wall Street, and turned around one step at a time, and then saw the hippies still discussing tirelessly, as if they were trying to change the world with their own words, and that burning enthusiasm was no less than the sunset of dawn. Matt liked such moments, not only the moment of sleepless nights, but also the shiny orange-red sunrise at the junction of the sea and sky, which made him feel like he was still alive.
And the bond between all this is the magical man named Lancelot-Stralo.
Matt knew he was back to work, but the hot discussion about "hard fruit candy" had just begun.
This is true. Two landmark theaters in Greenwich Village are constantly gathering people, some people leaving and some people arrive. All the screening rooms are still unable to satisfy people's curiosity and expectations. Just on Manhattan Island, just in New York City, within a few small blocks on the East Coast of the United States, "Fruit Hard Candy" is releasing endless energy and quietly begins to affect the entire North American continent and even the entire world.
"Just give me a lever and a fulcrum, I can pry the entire earth."
The preview of "Fruit Hard Candy" has ended, but in fact, the reflection frenzy created by this movie has just begun. Since the movie is only released in two art theaters, even the critics cannot appreciate the work at the first time. Instead, those enthusiastic film lovers can rush ahead and appreciate the style of this work at the first time.
Therefore, after the preview, it is not the media that gets feedback first, but the Internet!
"The ten-minute long shot is about to explode! That damn bastard Lancelot is so handsome!"
"My hands are still trembling, because of fear, and even more because of excitement!"
"It's hard to imagine that this bastard Lance once again has given an amazing masterpiece!"
"Ten times more exciting than 'City of Sin' and ten times more profound than 'Killing with a knife'! A must-see this fall!"
“This work will definitely make those macho men desperate, haha!”
"Ce! The real cult! Strello vividly interprets what a cult movie is: it is abhorrent, but it can't let it go!"
"This will definitely be a work that is despised by the mainstream market! But this is also a work that can be recorded in history!"
“After watching the movie, you wish you never entered a cinema.”
"Extreme discomfort, strong disgust, deep hatred. That's right, this is the right way to watch 'hard fruit candy'."
"Don't watch! Absolutely don't watch! This is a nightmare, I doubt I will never wake up!"
"It's so perverted! Please don't go to the cinema, otherwise you won't be able to sleep well in the next month."
...
The forums of major portals on the Internet have exploded. Under the official page of imdb, more than 360 comments appeared in just one night; and more than 190 comments from Rotten Tomatoes have reached more than 700 comments. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. More than 700 related posts appeared in the Yahoo community, and the number of replies reached an incredible 20,000, and the click rate exceeded 100,000. All of this happened within twelve hours, and the popularity easily exploded the discussion craze brought by "Good night, good luck" two weeks ago.
What is even more interesting is that among these comments, even the praises were mixed with a lot of swear words, and the words were even more bluntly stated that this work was "not suitable for men to watch". More than half of the comments emphasized at the end that "that work is strongly not recommended"; however, you can feel the thought storm caused by this work in their brains between the lines. The excitement and excitement came through the computer screen, which almost makes people unable to hold back.
However, the real main force of the comments is just a small group of people, and the others are just joining in the fun. It can be seen that since "Fruit Hard Candy" is only in two theater movies, the audience who have appreciated the works is really limited, and the audience who can participate in the topic is just Err; but this topic has attracted the attention of countless people on the Internet, especially the pain mixed with excitement, which makes people curious.
Unlike "Good night, good luck", so far, netizens are discussing it, and there is almost no movement among mainstream media and professional film critics. The day after the preview ended, the major media reported almost all the news of Lance and George's "official reconciliation". The announcement of the plagiarism ended, and the overwhelming news was filled with related news.
Logically speaking, the subsequent reports will continue to be focused on George and Lance, bringing the focus back to "good night, good luck", which is the correct way to deal with the public relations; but unexpectedly, it seems that all the news media are still holding back, quietly waiting for the preview of "Fruit Hard Candy" to continue to promote.
It is no exaggeration to say that the movie viewing frenzy caused by the two landmark theaters has spread throughout New York, and news media across North America have also received news. The branches stationed in New York have sent relevant reporters, hoping to watch the movie as soon as possible, but they are destined to be disappointed - because they can't get tickets at all!
If this is the Sundance Film Festival, then the media and professional film critics have reserved tickets. They can enter directly with invitations or reporters' certificates without worrying about not having tickets; but this is New York, "Fruit Hard Candy" is launched completely in the preview of niche experimental movies. In other words, if you want to watch this work, the only way is to buy tickets to enter. A seven-dollar ticket is very cheap, but reporters and film critics really feel what it means to be hard to get a ticket.
The queues at the entrances of the two theaters have not decreased since 8 o'clock last night. And with the sensation on the Internet, many movie lovers living in New York have included "fruit hard candies" on their schedules. Compared with other cities, they have taken the lead.
As a result, a rare grand occasion appeared at the entrance of the Landmark Cinema: the critics and reporters who were usually above the top actually appeared in the queue.
Chaos Film can not care, because experimental movies do not rely on film critics and reporters for their meals. They often take three weeks of previews, spreading their reputation among the audience, and then arrange to expand the screening according to the situation. The feedback from film critics and reporters is important, but more often, they will not pay too much attention to these experimental movies. Therefore, Chaos Film completely intends to follow the steps, but film critics and reporters must care. Obviously, "Fruit Hard Candy" is the hottest movie this weekend - even if it is just an art experimental movie.
Landmark Cinema has filled all screening rooms, but the supply is still in short supply. At less than 12 noon on Friday, tickets for the whole day have been sold out. In desperation, they can only start selling weekend tickets, but this only lasted until 11:00 on Friday. Soon, all tickets for the two-day weekend will be sold. This also means that if you want to watch this movie, you can only wait for Monday.
The good news is that Monday is only two days later; the bad news is that the number of preview venues for "Fruit Hard Candy" next week is only seven.
