Chapter 278: Movie critics

The North American weekend box office rankings on December 12-14 made many people happy. Those media said that in the end, it was dear magic Yang! It also disappointed a lot! Damn it, Wang Yang again! It also surprised many film critics, dark horse? Can the word dark horse be used?
Newly released in 56 theaters, "The Devil Wears Prada" is firmly seated in the championship position. It has crazyly received 51.354 million US dollars at the box office. It occupied 45% of this weekend in North America with a total of 112 million box office. Market share (a total of 128 movies), people walked into the cinema, 45 people watched "d",% of them expressed their love at Rotten Tomatoes, and countless female audiences expressed their love on various websites.
The best movie on the fashion theme on this planet! Not the best row, but the best.
The opening victory of "d" resulted in no room for discussion in the rankings. The second "677 Love" compromise of the 2677 theaters only received 60,000 opening paintings; the "Intimate Brothers" of 3 theaters only had 10,000, century Fox has become one of the losers of this Christmas stall; Warner Bros. "Love is Priceless" is only 6.31 million. In four large-scale films, "d" swept everything.
The weekend box office of "-21-em" in August was 49.67 million, and "Hangover" in the same period of 2 years was 55.73 million. What kind of Waterloo did Magician encounter?
This result made Jessica and others jump around in excitement, which was even more exciting than the time when "High School Musical" set off a national frenzy; Wang Yang did not have any surprises and surprises, all of which were expected. Look at the opening results of the o6 version of "d" in the summer vacation in July. The 2847 theaters received 27.53 million box office. The problem is that as a well-resourced giant company, Fox has only 2847 widest screenings. It is known as the upset, the dark horse at the box office, non-global synchronization or a similar schedule.
It is enough to see that Fox does not pay much attention to "d", of course, this is also reflected in the cost of its production, so that when shooting in Paris, the scene has to be in a hurry.
Although the current cost of the o3 version is more than 20 million yuan, a large part of it is returned to Wang Yang ’s pocket as a film reward; but in addition to the higher quality of the film itself, the more important thing is that the flame film did not "The label" Possible Dark Horse ", but treat it as a god, be sure it will be a big box office bomb.
This is the difference between the cloud and the mud. From the purchase of the adaptation copyright at the beginning of the year to the end of the year, the flame has been trying hard to promote it for the past six months, including 11ge websites, blogs and other viral marketing, as well as magical fame; It will be released in the Christmas and New Year files around the world. The advantage of this is that it is effective in hitting the iron while there is no version or version on the Internet; of course, if there is no golden sign of "directed by Wang Yang" to grab money, overseas merchants will not Easily hand over the Christmas and New Year schedule to "d".
The o6 version of "d" is a dark box office horse and a model for overseas hotspots in North America. The main box office is almost 3 or 4 months late, and it still collects 100 million overseas box offices.
Wang Yang believes that under the current conditions, the overseas box office potential of "d" is far more than 200 million. He had this emotion very early. Maybe "21" is a glass of red wine with a unique flavor, which is endless; perhaps "d "It's a glass of chilled mint water in the hot summer. It doesn't have so much aftertaste, but it will be more popular, because it allows a larger audience to quench thirst.
He believes that there is no difference in demand. Not every drink must be red wine. If anyone thinks that red wine is better than iced mint water, it is the best. What else can he say? The experience of growing up in the kitchen from childhood tells him that when a person loves it, different foods will give the same satisfaction. Now he just wants to make a glass of cold mint water on a hot summer day.
"D" won this weekend effortlessly. Despite the poor reputation of the film critics, Wang Yang let everyone see the great power of the fashion theme, and saw that he is still that magical Yang. "Yahoo Entertainment's commentary reported:" According to According to the release data released by the cinema, 55% of the audience in Demon are young people under 25, and the proportion of male and female audience is%:%. Fashion and brand names have made women crazy. "
"It is worth mentioning that the opening weekend score of 51.354 million was Meryl Streep ’s best record. The previous record was $ 30,000. In 1992, directed by the magical idol Robert Zemigis, "Flying Over Longevity" set. And the most popular work of her acting career in North America was "The Kramers" in 1979, 6.2 billion; now "d" is almost certain to break this number. "
This really makes those who want to see Wang Yang lost in confusion, and Miracle Yang seems to be resurrected! Has he ever died? In fact, this result is not a strange thing, as ordinary netizen Jason-e said: "I don't care about those critics, Magic Yang is special."
In the minds of movie fan audiences, young people who "grow up with" and "grow up together" who have a good impression of magic, his reputation is not comparable to those of critics. They have their own judgment.
The fact is that film critics are evaluating every week, and they have a point of view that allows them to agree and disagree; Magic Yang's 7 consecutive films are crazy, so they are more willing to believe that the film critics' "posture is high", or Magic Yang "pre-era" Of course, excellent audience response gave them confidence.
The influence of the film critics industry has never been the dominant one. The more prestigious "The Chainsaw" has also received close to 10,000 North American box offices. The number of fans has increased in groups, showing the latest business miracles, let alone some special cases. (Such as "Transformers"), the audience will not care about the criticism of the critics, and now those who watched "d", nine adults are rated "above", not great but worth a visit; there are many Has become a female audience.
"A truly interesting and rare masterpiece far exceeds the quality of its original work." Demon "reveals the story of the New York fashion stage with a witty and relaxed approach, with Merrill Streep in an optimal state, and The more own Jessica Alba. "-Rotten Tomatoes official website.
Not all film critics sing "d", the attitude of the film critics has evolved into two opposing schools, and the moderate centrist voice was ignored by people from the beginning. The praise party believes that "d" is above the standard and lifts two thumbs up; the criticism group continues to disdain and believes that its box office will be weak afterwards. Now these are just the "Yu Wei" of magic Yang!
For the sake of insurance, some media shouted "sensible": "Even if the box office is high, it can't change the fact that" d "is a mediocre work. Wang Yang's attitude towards the film has changed, and he let Andrea choose A sweater, but he chose the evening gown himself. "
"Yang," Hangover "got a lot of blame last year; but now it seems that" Devil "will be your first movie that really gets bad reviews. Everyone is accusing you. What do you think?"
Wang Yang and Jessica have returned to Los Angeles as a follow-up link and a box office champion. Naturally, there will be no shortage of media interviews. When Wang Yang was interviewed by the Los Angeles Times, the reporter asked about the hottest topic about "d" and about Magic Yang.
"I disagree with what you said to" everyone ". As far as I know, most of the audience and many film critics agree that" Demon "is a good movie, and I agree with them." Wang Yang smiled, thinking of those The cynical critics couldn't help shrugging and laughing: "Haha! I just hope that some people should be more serious when they accuse others! Don't talk about those funny reasons."
After the reporter swiped with excitement, Wang Yang did n’t smile any more, and said his thoughts very seriously:
You ca n’t say that it ’s
bad
because it ’s a light comedy, not a serious drama; in any case, if you ca n’t Accept that it is a light comedy, then you are not qualified to evaluate it. You cannot say that this is a giraffe, if it is a horse, it is good; it is not good to be a giraffe. "
"Some people like extremes, indeed it will be particularly impressive, like horror to the extreme, funny to the extreme. But I have to say that the director can have his own style preference, to be a genre, a sense to feel martial The king made the sacred king to kill the gods and seals the throne at night The throne begs the Ao Ninth Chongtian the strongest to abandon the young Da Zhou dynasty, and the gods will kill the of the night, and the throne is the best; the audience can also, I only like to watch horror movies in my life. ; But judges and film critics are not good. Their thinking must be broad and objective, strong in acceptance, and can be brought into various subdivided film types without prejudice. Their appreciation ability should pass the director and the public. "
"The film critics are not big or small, some people can do it, some people can't do it. Why is this movie not good-looking? You are looking for the reason in that genre, not from the beginning it is" it's too dull compared to the movie " Reject it. There is a guy who is also very funny, because Andrea has a human nature change, so this light comedy is not good-looking. Oh! Why is this? Because it is not his taste. I have no way to control this, no one has By the way, every movie cannot meet all tastes of everyone. "
Wang Yang shook his head and continued: "At the same time, many people like to see an Andrea with a human nature change in a light comedy. Why? I mean, as a film critic, you evaluate a The reason for the poor movie cannot be simply because you do n’t like it! "
"Your random sentence, it will be published in newspapers and magazines! It has an influence that guides the public! When you control the voice of the media, you must analyze objectively, because your inadvertently will kill a It ’s so funny with the team ’s efforts! If you say,
I ’m just an audience, I ’ll say whatever I like.
Well! Then you do n’t represent any authority, why should I care?

After expressing his heartfelt words at any time, in order to avoid being misinterpreted by the media as "bombing the entire film critic industry," he didn't mean it and didn't need it. Know that many film critics are standing in his camp, Wang Yang Added a sentence: "But I really thank those objective film critics, as well as my fans and the public, I care about their voices."
Da Da Da Da, the latest issue of "The Los Angeles Times" was put on the shelf, and the entertainment version suddenly appeared in an interview with Wang Yang: "Fantastic Yang mocks some film critics are funny!"
Magic Yang v movie critic!
Directors, producers, actors, and media critics will always live up to this kind of lively pinch. These verbal battles usually stem from exclusive interviews and online forum messages. The most common saying is: "I have so many audiences to support Why do you care what hundreds of film critics say? Why do you want to please them? "," Critics will brag, they don't understand anything at all! Will they make movies? "," They are a group of mean and cheap people! " ...
Now the spearhead of Magic Yang is directed at all the critics who smashed the rotten tomato to "d", thinking that they lack objective and unfair, and it can be said that they are provoking a fault in the critics' circle; especially referring to the "Northwest Herald" Fry Westhoff, ridiculed him for being ridiculous.
"Haha! This guy is crazy, the critics will scold him to death !!" Mahoney, Sampson and others who wanted Wang Yang to die are very happy. This is indeed the first time Wang Yang expressed his criticism to the critics. Critical speech, of course, there was no chance before. But Sampson they were too happy too. This is a personal grudge, not a bombardment of the entire film critic industry. The% critics who praise "d" won't say anything.
But the counterattack of the bombarded% critics came soon. There are not so many pages in the newspapers so fast, but now there are blogs on the Internet, and many film critics immediately criticized Wang Yang on personal websites and b1gger's blogs; and online media have also followed up.
"I saw a poor business hype." The well-known blog critic Alan Dell mocked. He said that "d" would be better if it was made in a serious tone, and was also one of the critics pointed out by Wang Yangte. , Naturally, you will not be polite: "I was really sad to see that the magical Yang who was once humble and sunny turned into a lunatic. The vulgar city of Hollywood has transformed a talented person. Why did Wang Yang say this? This is his hype! For the subsequent box office of "d", he is afraid. "
His counter-attack log analysis stated that Hollywood's propaganda strategy is that a movie is not afraid of good scandals or scandals, or that there is no news and no attention! Wang Yang, who is now considered by fans to make propaganda into a game and never hyped, suddenly speaks out, and is this kind of speech with a "go to the cinema to judge" audience-oriented psychology? Wang Yang is hype because he knows that "Lord of the Rings 3" will be released soon, and the box office situation of "d" is not good.
"I think Fantastic Young has laughed to death." Claire, the same well-known blog critic, is an unwavering supporter of Fantastic Young. In the b1gger site, she launched a scolding battle with the critics: "This is called hype? Then you I must have not experienced 98 years of "Ghost Shadow Records", I have not experienced 99 years of school song and dance, I do n’t know "Junuo said", I do n’t know "Forbidden aliens", and I do n’t even know. "D" "Prada the world's only limited edition handbag", "makeup tips" ... "
Her stroke is very ironic: "You must not have a girlfriend, so it is not clear that it has long been famous in the female group. Almost every young woman is looking forward to its release. Wang Yang's hype is too much! Now he just said After a few words, just express your opinion as before, and you will be mad, sad! "
Regardless of whether it was hype, Wang Yang did not show a little fear in the exclusive interview of the Los Angeles Times. When answering "You got the weekend champion again, do you have any thoughts on the box office of" Demon "?", He A clear answer was given: "I am confident in its box office. Those who want to see me encounter Waterloo will be disappointed. But more people will spend a happy Christmas and New Year with it."
"Wang Yang is just talking hard, which is really disappointing!" Jeffrey Westerhof of the Northwestern Herald is also a user of b1gger. He doesn't care who its chairman is, and someone might violate the user. Agreement "" his blog, it will be fun! However, it turned out that there was no such thing. His counter-attack log, which hit a new high in the volume of his blog, is still hanging high:
"Just as Andrea didn't know her gradual change of mindset, and Wang Yang didn't know his change. He became a arrogant, ignorant, spoiled idiot! In Magic Yang's heart, all criticized him and did not praise His film reviews are not objective enough. He does not want to admit the fact that he made a mediocre work. Is "d" a horse? Is it a giraffe? It is a monster with horse limbs, zebra body and giraffe head , This is the most objective comment. "
Jeffrey Westhoff excitedly said: "This monster will not be remembered or liked, but only thrown into the trash can! Unfortunately, Meryl Streep's great performance. Wang Yang's arrogant head still knew this, so he made news. But it was too late! "D" will not be a miracle, no amount of box office can fill its shallowness, Wang Yang, a confused child needs to grow up Otherwise, even if "d" can't get the youngest director Jin Meimei, "Firefly" will accomplish this feat. "
"There is no doubt that" d "is a masterpiece." Christie Lemir, a female critic of the New York Times who highly admired "Demon", joined the showdown, and she also published a discussion article on the blog: " Sometimes the harshness will be deceived a lot. People are too harsh on the 23-year-old Wang Yang, no surprises, no surprises ... what kind of surprises? People are happy to see new and unique things, in the past 7 movies in the night , Magic Yang always brings these novel and unique, and the slightly gentle "When Happiness Comes to Knock" also becomes great because of his age. "
Her comment made people see the delicateness and rationality of the female film critics of big newspapers: "However, when people are used to this kind of surprise, when they take Orpheus, everything has changed and become more stringent, demanding more Surprise! The 23-year-old Fantastic Young suddenly released a modest work and died. Meryl Streep brings surprises, Jessica Alba brings surprises, and Emily Blunt brings surprises. ... it really has nothing to do with Miracle Yang, is "d" really mediocre? "
"It's not." Christie Lemir wrote: "I didn't think about who the director was when I watched the film, it was better not to think about how to shoot. I just let myself devote myself to it, and then I saw the superb performance; Solid and deep, often flashing lens language; easy-to-entertainment story; control of the rhythm; and beautiful pictures of Taobao.com Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao.com women ’s winter coat m; interesting and meaningful lines, pleasing process and incisive ending . "
"My eyes can't leave the screen at all. Is this mediocre, is there no surprise?"
She wrote in the end: "They just thought about what exciting new gameplay the Magic Yang brought, but they forgot that light comedy was like this, fashion was like this, and now a 23-year-old young man executed them well. , Produced one of the best dating movies, but suffered many unreasonable accusations, if asked me 'Are they wrong?' I think so. But time will return "d" and Wang Yang to be fair. "
"Dumping skyscrapers?" Yahoo Entertainment published a special report on this character. In the end, Wang Yang was as exhausted as Roger Albert, Jeffrey Westhoff and other film critics, and became a Vulgar and arrogant lost youth; or Christie Lemir and others maintain a high level?
Yahoo Entertainment puts forward an interesting counterpoint, and Miracle Yang is facing the "Office Building Rule". This rule is a management law proposed by the British historian Cyril Northnord Parkinson. When the office building of a business or government organization is designed to be more perfect and the decoration is more luxurious, the closer the organization is to disintegration. And many examples of enterprises have proved this rule.
Parkinson ’s scientific guess is that the organization is often very busy during the exhibition period, and everyone puts time, energy, and enthusiasm into their work; however, when there are certain achievements, the organization begins to build a building commensurate with the achievements, everyone The time, energy, and enthusiasm are all concentrated on the surface. ~ Www.EbookFREE.me ~ How should the building be designed, how should the office be decorated ... And a perfect building means a finality, a finality means the end.
If the opposing view holds true, what causes "d" to become exhausted and miraculously exhausted?
He is the youngest billionaire, and took the youngest Ao Luska best director, unmatched by the total box office and age, and is about to compete with Jessica, one of the most beautiful women in the world. Marriage; in addition to the big screen and miracles on the small screen, such a spring breeze, he was satisfied. And Yahoo Entertainment said: "Firefly" is probably the building Wang Yang is building. The second science fiction film and the biggest investment. An Allen Peggy starring in a supporting role has given him unprecedented admiration ... it is magical. The nightmare that Yang is most likely to encounter. "
Yahoo Entertainment did not doubt the power of "d" at the box office and said: "The Waterloo of Miracle Yang is not here."
What if the square view holds? Magic Yang is still that magic Yang. So what is there to say? This feature wrote about this: "Now the film critics who scold Wang Yang are waiting for the revenge of" Firefly "."
Amidst the shouting battle voices, December 18 came quietly, the day when the 61st Golden Globe Awards announced the nomination list.
