Just a year ago, "Buried Alive" landed at the Toronto Film Festival and emerged as a dark horse. Even in the face of the two topics of "social networks" and "The King's Speech", it still occupies a place and triggers countless discussions. A year later, "Love Mad" landed at the Toronto Film Festival, and the name Renly Hall has become the focus of attention.

The 300 million-dollar box office of "Fast and Furious 5" in North America is still vivid in my mind. "Love is crazy" carries the momentum of the Sundance Awards. Under high expectations, it has arrived in Toronto. Even the "Presidential Killing Game" with a glorious "One Farewell" won the award in Berlin cannot be compared; Renley's super high popularity can even be comparable to George Clooney and Brad Pitt, and has been enthusiastically sought after by local Canadian audiences.

In a year, it’s earth-shaking!

Before the premiere of "Love Crazy", the huge queues easily surpassed the queue record this year created by the "President Killing Game". After the opening, the slightly dull and dull festive atmosphere finally broke free from the shackles and erupted like a volcano. On the red carpet of the subsequent premiere, there were even more crowds of people, shoulder to shoulder, proudly showing the world the grand occasion of Lan Li being attracted by the attention.

The interview lineup of up to 300 reporters, plus more than 1,500 onlookers, there is no doubt that "Love Crazy" is a work that has no stars, no costs, and no gimmicks, replacing the "Presidential Killing Game" and becoming the hottest premiere since the opening of this year's film festival. The enthusiasm ignited by George Clooney last night was once again taken to the next level.

It is worth mentioning that this "unknown" movie ushered in a star-studded red carpet, and the attendance of Ryan Gosling and Paul Walker was expected; Seth Rogan, Rami Marek, Gal Gadot, and Rose Byrne's appearance was not surprising; George Clooney and Gary Oldman's attendance caused the restlessness of the reporters one by one; finally, when Scarlett Johnson appeared, the audience triggered a tsunami-like reaction!

Everyone was speculating on the relationship between Scarlett and Lanley. George and Gary both expressed their interest in the movie "Love Crazy" in the interview, so they visited them specifically, but what about Scarlett? Faced with the question of the long gun, Lanley said, "Lance and I are friends. He... have extended a helping hand to me before, and since then, we have become friends." The profound answer made all the reporters furious.

The reason is simple: Jennifer or Scarlett?

Before "Love Crazy" landed in Toronto, reporters were constantly hyping up the golden boy and jade girl Lanley and Jennifer. The two new generations of acting representatives are of the same age and have similar rise time. When they were at the Oscars, someone joked that the two could climb the red carpet together, but unfortunately, Lanley was absent in the end. Now, the "Love Crazy" starring the two will be released soon, and the reporters don't care that the heroine is actually Felicity, and they directly focus on these two people.

Scandals are already lively without hype.

But now, a Scarlett has emerged? There is a good show now. When Lanley and Jennifer appeared on the red carpet, the reporters couldn't wait to throw the problem away, and both of them laughed happily.

Jennifer said, "Lanley had warned me before that this problem will definitely occur. I heard that last year you also reported the scandal between Lanley and Ryan Gosling?" When answering the question, Jennifer kept laughing, "So, are you letting me take Ryan's position now?" Such a rebuttal was full of humor and jokes, and indirectly rejected the reporters' speculation.

As for Lanli, he was even more serious and expressionless, "Jennifer and I are not even friends." This answer sounded cold and ruthless, but after savoring it, he noticed Lanli's ridicule and jokes, which made the reporters unpredictable. But what is certain is that Lanli and Jennifer's personal relationship is indeed good, is it considered a scandal? This is a huge question mark.

"Scarlett?" The reporters' pursuit made Lan Li express a meaningful expression, "I should confirm with my agent first, can this news be said?"

So, is this acknowledgement or deny it? The reporters were confused by Lan Li and asked for a long time, but there was no ambiguous answer, but it was like a guessing game. What is this? Is homework?

Unfortunately, the reporters were unable to continue asking questions because the audience at the scene heard the sound of support from tsunamis, the earth-shaking roar, the thunderous shouts, and the collapse of the sky and the earth-shattering crowds not only showed the enthusiasm of the Canadian people, but also showed the fanaticism beyond George Clooney.

The "Young Master" sounded at the top of his lungs, with deep affection and shocking momentum. This made everyone show a look of surprise. Lanli's rise was indeed fast, but the "Fast and Furious 5" was not enough. If you want to surpass George Clooney and Brad Pitt, this is not such an easy task. What happened in the time and space they didn't know?

Even Lan Li himself looked surprised.

In response, the official Toronto Film Festival magazine stated that "Lanley, who started in Toronto, has a second home outside of London."

A simple sentence reveals the truth. "Buried Alive" is Lan Li's film debut. In Toronto, Lan Li also went from this film festival to the whole world. Local media and local audiences regard Lan Li as "an actor who went out from here", as if they were the superstars they made famous. Now they are returning home, and the treatment they give is naturally unique. This is also a special treatment that George, Brad and others cannot enjoy.

Invisibly, people's expectations for "love is crazy" have risen to a higher level. The reputation accumulated from Sundance is about to move, waiting for the explosion.

The expectations are getting higher and higher. This is a double-edged sword, which can be a good thing or a bad thing. On the one hand, people's judgment will be more stringent, just excellent, which is not enough to meet such high standards of expectations, and must be excellent; on the other hand, under such high expectations, the work is still satisfactory, so the praise and praise will increase by double, five times, and ten times.

This is the same as the fact that people are famous for their own good and wrong. Standing in the spotlight and enjoying praise and pursuit, one naturally has to bear responsibility and burden. However, the facts have proved that "Love is crazy" is definitely worthy of its reputation, and it has successfully continued the media heat wave that Sundance has ushered in.

After the Toronto premiere, "Love Mad" ushered in a craze of praise.

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Suns absent from Sundance, but did not miss Toronto. He not only gave a pertinent evaluation of 88 points, but also gave a four-star recommendation, believing that this is a masterpiece that cannot be missed.

In the short comment, Roger said, "Once again, Renly Hall proved himself to be the most powerful and potential performer of the Y generation with practical actions."

Giving up the popular expression method of "actor", Roger chose the highest artistic evaluation of "performer", which is equivalent to distinguishing Renli from other actors. Such treatment was not even Natalie Portman able to obtain. It can be seen that Roger admires Renli.

"Hall's performance has a delicate and tough, surging and restrained force, and the natural temperament from the inside out gives 'Love Mad' a fragile, deep, moving and beautiful temperament.

Unlike the rough, primitive, powerful, fierce, and vivid and realistic performance when 'burying alive', Hall's performance has been pulling inward and pressing inward, seemingly doing nothing, but invisibly awakening the emotions deep in everyone's mind and memory, handing them over to the story and the audience, and deriveing ​​different reflections.

The most exciting scene in the movie is the rivalry between Hall and Lawrence. He bid farewell to his girlfriend who was far away in London and returned to Los Angeles, but lived with another woman. In the movie, the director did not use any lines, cameras and ink to explain the cause and effect. He only relied on Hall's performance, but he told the whole story: he and his girlfriend had broken up and started life again, but his memory was always stuck in the past. When he truly realized that parting had become a reality, the confusion and fragility of tsunamis, which was instantly profound.

With this scene alone, Hall once again declared his unshakable status as the king of acting newcomer!

Putting aside the commercial performance of 'Fast and Furious/5', Hall showed different appearances, different ways, different touches, understanding, reflection and interpretation of the characters, which are unique in the new generation."

In the subsequent column reviews, Roger was not stingy with his praise and spent more than half of his pen and ink to praise Ren Li.

At the end of the comment, Roger said, "'Love Mad' is an excellent movie and a private movie. He shows the heartbreaking and fascinating love between Jacob and Anna, and the sad and regretful but helpless emotions, which is undoubtedly the biggest highlight. However, Renly Hall's performance makes this outstanding work possible to become a classic masterpiece."

"Possible", just in the case of just being possible, can be seen from Roger's score, eighty-eight points, which means it is not a masterpiece. Despite this, the positive comments of the "Chicago Sun" still made a good start for "Love is crazy".

In fact, this is not the only positive review. After the Toronto premiere, a total of fourteen media outlets scored "Love Crazy". This number is not too much, but not including those media that have already scored in Sundance. If you calculate it like this, it will not be "not much", but very much".

Unbelievable, all fourteen media have praised it! When I was in Sundance, three media gave negative comments and made sharp and cold criticisms of "Love Madness", but this time in Toronto, there were 100% positive comments. Even if this is the kind and friendly Toronto, such achievements still triggered a burst of exclamation.

Everyone truly felt that Renly Hall once again created his craze!
Chapter completed!
