Chapter 222 Good News
As time goes into June, this year's summer vacation is about to usher in a new round of fierce confrontation.
As early as May 2nd, "Men 2" starring Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry and others, with a production cost of 110 million, was released in 3741 theaters, officially kicking off this summer with 700 million box office per week At present, North America has already received 200 million box office for 6 weeks; the same week, there is also the Greennet movie "Civilian Queen" released by Disney.
On May 9th, the 10,000-cost comedy "Daddy Don't Move" was released on a large scale; the "Matrix Empire 2: Reloading" with a production cost of 150 million was released.
In the following week of May 16-22, it won the championship of the next week with 121 million box office without suspense, directly catching up with the highest opening week box office record of 131 million r-class movies set by the "Ninth District" last year, and it is now released. In the fourth week, the North American box office has reached 250 million. Although the momentum is basically exhausted, whether it can approach and break the highest record of the total box office in the ninth district of the 100 million r-level movie in North America is still a topic of concern for media movies.
In any case, "Reloading the Battle" has made most film critics and fans of science fiction movie fans hooked, shocking visual effects, the improvement of thinking level, the Eastern Zen of Table 1ù, the cool Eastern Kung Fu ... The distinctive and unique style u1 film has received some top-level evaluations "the perfect combination of business and art!"
Of course, there is another voice, thinking that "Reloading the Battle" is boring fried rice, and there is no compact thorn in the first part, which makes it disappointing. On Rotten Tomatoes, its score is only moderate. The audience likes 74%, and the public film criticism is 74% fresh. Andrew News, a critic of the New York Watch who gave a fresh evaluation, said: "I like this movie. And conscientiously recommend it. But it never touched me, and it ’s not even half as much as Steven Spielberg ’s "Artificial Intelligence."
As the first ever Oscar-winning director with a science fiction film, a character who has been pushed to the top of the spit in the science fiction industry, Wang Yang and "The Ninth District" are inevitably taken by some film critics and film mí Come to compare it, although the specific types of the two are very different.
After this "showdown", many movies have commented that although the real scene of the special effects is hot in the ninth area, the pattern is always too great; it also brings enough thinking and moving, but it is worth mentioning that "hacker The Eastern fighting and dialogue in the "Empire" series is not something that the Chinese director, Miracle Yang, has. Bill Chalmers of 1mrer said: "It's a bit ironic."
Most of the scoldings of "The Matrix" are actually reasons for too high expectations. The host of the film review show "eber & m; reer" Richard Roper described it as "almost unbearable expectations", and such expectations are the same. Existed in the second science fiction film of Fantastic Young, especially when he said "spacecraft, going to swim in the universe", but when can I see it? At least see a new work plan with a name?
Everyone in the movie has a feeling of nowhere, maybe he will be a sci-fi film at the age of 33 in another ten years, and he is still a young director; John Salvi joked: "Our expectations should be lower , Do n’t scare him from making science fiction. "
Two more comedy films were released on May 23, "Domestic Family" starring Michael Douglas and "Fake God" starring Kim-Kerry, who posted 100 million box office weekly, once again showing Kim-Kerry's Comedy status, but it is popular but not popular, only 49% of the freshness of public film reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, and only 61% of audience likes. The May issue of "Undersea Story" was released. Weekly 97.45 million% of freshness continued Pixar's animation.
In the same week, there was a 10,000-cost action crime film "Stealing the Sky for a Day"; June 6 "Du and Jī Qing 2" was released. And this summer, comedy films such as "Hollywood Reorganization" and "When Dumb Meets Agua" are about to debut on June 13; "The Hulk" with a cost of 137 million hit the big screen. After the great success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", what will be the performance of the heroic film directed by Li Anci? This is also a topic of concern to the media.
120 million cost of "Thunderbolt 2", 200 million "Terminator 3", "Legal Beauty 2", 140 million "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl", Ten Thousand "Skyfall", 130 million "Jedimen 2", "Special Agent 3", "Pentium Age", "Tomb Raider 2", "American Pie 3", "Counter-Terrorist SWAT Team", "Spicy Mom" ​​... there are no special effects There is no big-picture Qingnet gamble "-21-em", but no one dares to despise it.
"That's good!" At the busy cocktail party, Wang Yang couldn't help but be happy when he heard the good news from the mobile manager on the mobile phone side, and the global r epidemic was gradually brought under control in May. Wei has deliberately lifted Beijing's travel ban after the day. If the ban is lifted in June and becomes a non-epidemic zone in another month, then there is no problem with going to China for propaganda in August.
Looking at the crew walking around there, Wang Yang asked with full interest: "What kind of itinerary is it arranged?" To enter the Chinese Big 6 market, Flame Film naturally needs to cooperate with China Film Group, "-21-em" The publicity activities are also arranged by the marketing department of China Film, mén. West méng-Willis over there said: "There is a film mí meeting, an interview with the news newspaper, and a film seminar at the Beijing Film Academy ..."
"West Méng, this kind of propaganda is not close enough to the public film mí." Wang Yang frowned suddenly, he hoped that the public film mí could intuitively recognize him, but now, he shrugged: You know that the number of people who will meet at the meeting will be limited; And when I go to school to talk, the ordinary movie mí just sees a piece of news. Is there no TV show? Is there anything like "Saturday Night Live", "Oprah Talk Show" or something? Can our crew perform the last issue? "
Of course, there must be a film meeting and a newspaper interview, but the most mainstream TV programs are even more indispensable. When traveling last year, he recorded an issue of "Lu Yu You Yue". Later, he learned that although this interview program is very famous in China, the coverage rate of Phoenix Satellite TV is very low, and the ratings are naturally not good. This time he I want to get on the high-profile program of the national TV.
"Yang, I don't know too well." West méng-Willis's voice was also suspicious, saying: "Our propaganda in China's Big 6 has always been done for China Film, please tell them this intention first?"
"I can do anything funny." Wang Yang smiled and said a few words, then ended the call. Seeing Meryl Streep coming to the set over there to sit down on the actors' chair, took out the script and began to read it, just as seriously as before. Wang Yang walked over the night and interrupted her speculation, saying: "Meryl, there is one thing that has not been told to you. The crew is going to Paris for a few days."
With the end of the mild r epidemic in Paris, the shooting cost to go directly to Paris for framing is not so high. It can be completed in two to three days at the fastest. No post-production is needed, which is also helpful for future publicity; and Wang Yang wants Jesse Ka loves Paris so much, she would be very happy if she made a movie in Paris, so he changed the original plan after consulting with several producers.
Explaining the reasons for the official business to Meryl Streep, Wang Yang immediately added: "Meryl, if you do n’t want to go, no problem! I ’m going to continue shooting in New York, Just find some streets like Paris. I want to ask your thoughts? "
Meryl Streep wearing glasses thought for a long time, and there was a sorry expression on her face. She replied: "I stay in New York. Young, if I can choose, I like to be around home Work, my family needs me. "
"Okay." Wang Yang nodded with a smile, without compelling thoughts. When she was invited to act, she promised not to go abroad. Now the change is unilateral. Wang Yang said, "That's fine, we will arrange everything." Just about to leave but Meryl yelled, she smiled calmly: "Yang, I have a request, my big nv Ermai wants to have a face in this movie, she is your fan. "
"Oh, I know." Wang Yang answered, and Meryl Streep continued: "I know there are some corners in the remaining plays. I don't know if there is a chance for Mai Mi to make a guest appearance?"
Looking at the busy crew around, Wang Yang didn't even know the arrangement for a moment, and laughed: "I have to ask the corner selection department mén, there should be no problem." If these corners are set, it is the reception The shì of the cloth meeting should wait for the waiter and say something like "nv, your drink"; or have a name, such as a subordinate assistant next to a fashion figure, an interview reporter, etc.
The selection of these corners is basically provisional. The audition was completed a few days before the filming of the scene. On the day of the filming, the audition came out and left, almost no one page script. For some big production movies, because the production cycle is too long, in addition to the real protagonist, they will also shoot and then look for the supporting role candidates who need to be sent to the studio. "The Devil Wears Prada" will naturally not find everyone right from the start, so Meryl Streep asks that.
If there is still a suitable corner vacancy, then let Maimi Gumo play a good job. After all, Meryl asks, and Wang Yang has no reason to refuse this insignificant relationship. Of course, Maimi Gumo must be To pass the test, otherwise no matter who's nv child is good, there will be no face to give.
The time soon came to June 9th. It was Natalie's birthday. Wang Yang and Jessica went to her Long Island home with a gift. Before he conveyed Natalie's invitation, she readily agreed. These days, the mood may be getting weaker and weaker, and the number of Jessica ng has become more, but still more entertaining and acting than before, but not at the peak. However, he obeyed her suggestion and had taken those important shots first.
"Wow!-" The spacious living room was filled with more than a dozen young people, some holding red wine glasses, beer glasses drinking, and applauding in both hands, yelling and forming a circle. Natalie in the circle held a wide piece of wood in her hands, smiling at Wang Yang, kicking her feet and warming up, and Jessica standing by the circle clasped her hands. Full of nervous smile.
There are not many people in the film and entertainment industry who are attending the party. They are all Natalie ’s good friends and girlfriends from all walks of life. They all looked at the scene with surprise or expectation or a smile.
"Don't kick me!" Natalie shouted with a smile, and Wang Yang took a deep breath and said: "Hold it! Don't let me kick and fly!" Before the words fell, he took two steps and flew. With a loud crack, Natalie's arms flicked, and the plank in her hand had broken into two sides! Everyone around applauded and laughed: "Too strong!" And "Kung Fu!" Wang Yang's face was silent, shaking his head and smiling: "Toys ..."
After the Kung Fu performance, the party continued to burst into laughter, Wang Yang was surrounded by different people chatting; Jessica gradually came away from the voice and came to the balcony, Natalie and a black nv over the railing The child chatted, and the nv child suddenly patted Natalie's shoulder and walked back to the house. When passing by, Jessica greeted her with "ey".
"Happy birthday to you." Jessica came to Natalie, looking at the faint stars in the night sky and wishing her a blessing. Natalie turned her head to look at her, lifted the beer in her hand, and sipped, "Thank you." They haven't talked in isolation for a long time, the last time ... I don't remember.
Natalie turned to look over there, Wang Yangzheng and a group of people laughed and said something, and seemed to have grasped the scene again. She tilted her lips and smiled, "Your boyfriend is good."
"Of course ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Jessica also turned around and leaned on the railing, looking at Wang Yang over there, a gentle glance flashed from her eyes. Natalie laughed and said without a head or a tail: "Jessica, if you break up, I don't have a boyfriend yet, I'll chase him again! He has always been hard-hearted. There is really no way. "Jessica suddenly smiled:" No, it will not give birth. "She had this confidence in their feelings before, but now she has more.
Natalie questioned suddenly: "Yes, is he a little angry with the kung fu show just now?"
After receiving Jessica's nod, Natalie frowned suspiciously and said, "No wonder it's cold ... I thought he endured the pain. Why? Just show how powerful he is!" Jessie Ka shrugged slightly and said, "He doesn't like kicking wooden boards. He said that his skill is to kill people or make movies." She couldn't help but smile, and said: "Nothing, he usually gets angry for five minutes. , He likes to see his friends happy. "
"Well, I apologize another day, my birthday today." Natalie smiled indifferently, and turned to look at the night sky again, laughing: "Don't talk about Yang, how does it feel to play an opponent with Meryl Streep ? Is there a feeling of beating her? "
Jessica made a head-up and said with certainty: "No ..."
