Chapter 393: I'm a legend

"Weekend report:" Assassin's League "took the championship," Firefly "created a market miracle"-bsp; just past the night of August 5-7, a total of 135 films were released in North American Film City, 2 large New films released on a scale.
Among them, another action comedy bad movie with a small investment was born. The 10,000-cost TV series adaptation of the movie "Justice Forward" scored the index value of 13% / 22% / 58% for Rotten Tomatoes. US $ 5,4 received 19.31 million, and both word of mouth and box office failed. This ugly opening result made Warner Brothers lose again this summer. Jessica Simpson became the poison for the first time on the six screens with a drama role, which disappointed her fans.
However, another new film, the assassin alliance with all five poisons and the fragile "Assassin's League", showed a good performance. The masses of the media felt that they should not be surprised. This is expected, as long as the film's acting The table has "ung-ang" and it will never be useless!
"" Assassin's League "is a fast-paced, crackling and elegant posture of tension, tailored for the summer audience." Rotten Tomato's official sentence commentary well summarizes the film's Temperament, there is nothing too deep in the theme, and it does not pursue any artistic connotation, but it can bring a luxurious popcorn enjoyment for nearly 2 hours. Richard Rope of "ebert & eper" commented: "It will have it Fans, some excellent visual effects, some amazing sequences of actions and some amazing performances. "
This movie is not all popcorn and cola. The elements of the love sister complex, the father and the enemy, the false mentorship of the mentor and apprentice, etc. are interpreted by Wu Yusen's lens, just like a classic martial arts. Roger of the Chicago Sun -Albert raised his thumbs: "Bashes, violence and emotions, no one wasted a minute."
"John Wu walked out of the quagmire in a violent, fierce, bloody, and thrilling way. He not only found himself back, but also regained unprecedented energy." Joe Mogenstein of The Wall Street Journal commented, " Elizabeth Witzman of New York Daily News scored 3.5 / 5: "Your brain can be interrupted for two hours, but your adrenal glands will be busy." Sam Adams of the Los Angeles Times scored 4/5 : "It may drag young people into excessive world weariness, but it will also hit most of the male audience. This is the most refreshing work since John Wu directed, the classic double-gun lens!"
Of course, there is a script written carefully by Chris Morgan and others, who are very enthusiastic and have no place to drag on.
In terms of actor performance, James McVoy seized this opportunity of fame, and made an impressive interpretation of the praises of many film critics and fans; "After the Poison Shadow" Halle-Berry re-emerges A sexiness that really belongs to her, and the x based on her is really suitable for her compared to Catwoman, Raff Guzman of the "News Daily" said: "Once Halle Berry enters into a gritty battle , Your line of sight has not left. "
"John Wu did not live up to the trust of Miracle Yang.", "When it comes to knowing and using people, no one in the film industry is comparable to Wang Yang.", "Basically, a trash can reaches Wang Yang, and he can also dig out gold." "" ...
Many film critics finally introduce the relevant background of the "Assassin League". In addition to the comic author Mark Miller, Wang Yang is naturally everywhere. The planning of commercial movies can be large or small, and some of the styles and suggestions laid by it will lead to judgment. If two films, who can ignore his role? In addition to the "Assassin League" itself, it is known that it is actually a stiff Wang Yang against Wu Yusen, betting 100 million US dollars on whether the "King of the King of Guns" can talk to the young crazy!
The masses of the media know this very well, and now they are also admiring this point. It is with these shocking heroes that Miracle Yang is so handsome and irreplaceable.
Rotten Tomatoes currently contains 75 film reviews from "Assassin's League". The freshness of the public and well-known film critics is as high as 79% / 83%, and the audience likes 81% (94,827 rating users). Although it is not amazing, it is far less than the 94% freshness of "Face Change" in the peak period, but it is 33% compared to the previous "three consecutive hits" "Fengyu" and 22% "Bulletproof Monk" (producer) , 27% of "Memory Crack", even 57% of the "four consecutive hits" "Mission Impossible 2" sales, Wu Yusen finally tasted the taste of fresh red tomatoes again after an interval of 8 years. It is absolutely beautiful. Turn over.
However, there is no "magic aura", and there is a big question whether a large and small film business dare to use him again; however, at this moment, Wu Yusen and Halle-Berry are undoubtedly turned over!
The two seem to have expected it, and in the previous stage of publicity, Wu Yusen will tell the media when he is interviewed: "I am very grateful to Wang Yang for trusting and inspiring me. I am almost years old. It seems very motivated to be inspired by a young boy Strangely, in fact, I have long lost my enthusiasm for shooting gun action movies, and I do n’t think I need to prove anything anymore, but Wang Yang made me have that kind of excitement again. He used the line of "Heroes". I still remember how I felt at the time. "Halle-Berry teased herself many times:" A few years ago, Magic Young handed me the trophy of the best actress, and then what is the "Oscar Shadow After the Curse". Started, this time he promised to invite him to appear in "Assassin League", should it be the end? "
This week's "Assassin League" was released in five theaters, with an average of 12,156 single theaters. It received a total of $ 37.74 million and ranked first in the weekly list. It won the championship with not too hot results.
This also created the worst opening weekend box office performance of the Flame movie over the summer. It seems that it also does not have the commercial potential of "Hangover 2" and "Furious Speed". Paul De Gallabe of the ns agency said: "The audience We still have a lot of fears for John Wu and Halle Berry, especially Halle Berry is on the blacklist of many people. The flame film's strategy is very correct. By establishing a good North American reputation, we are cautious If you go overseas, this movie will have a bright future. "
Let's not talk about the final box office results of "Assassin League". No one knows. Even if it is all messed up, the flame movie has enough capital to say: "I can afford this money."
In the eighth week, "Firefly" relied on Wang Yang ’s coma, and it unbelievably burst out a sustained and amazing performance. The box office trend was -5%, and the average number of single theaters in a theater (-255) was 2814, which can be described as crazy. Ten thousand dollars ranked fifth! The total box office in North America rose to 62327 million! In overseas markets, "Fireflies" continued to collect more than ten million US dollars in Japan, making great strides forward.
The fourth week of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" averaged only 2,962 single halls; the second week of "Must Love Dogs" was only 2,937; the eighth week of "Batman: The Time to Start" 528; the sixth week of "World War" 1,829 ...
The world-famous "World War", which was supposed to impact 100 million and 1.8 billion global box offices, now has a box office in North America of more than 200 million, which can only be the level of 200 million. Even if the overseas box office is exceeded, it exceeds 400 million. The goal is still too far too far. However, it is estimated that all members of Paramount themselves do not believe that "World War" can exceed 1.8 billion, and believe that they are already very satisfied with the current results.
"I won't authorize, Scott, frankly, I don't want and will not participate in any of its work."
At the headquarters of the Santa Monica Flame Film Company, in the spacious and elegant office of the chairman, Wang Yang slowly turned the office chair left and right, carrying the landline microphone on the left, and talking to Scott Ruding about the topic of "Magic Director" .
For "Magic Director", Wang Yang had no choice but to express emotion, curiosity, funny, and no anger, because he knew that this was a near-necessary thing, and had long heard of who was interested in bringing him to the big screen, He didn't have the ability and he didn't want to control it. Even "Good Passion" and "Fahrenheit 911" could find producers and traders. What's the magic? As long as there are filmmakers who think it is profitable, "Silicon Valley Legend" (Steve Jobs Vs Bill Gates) and "Magic Director" will appear.
The difference is that this time Paramount is real, Scott Ruding is better than the third-rate producers who want to make a quick money, but Ben Mozridge agreed without telling him Paramount's film adaptation made Wang Yang a little angry, and it was really wrong for me to be a friend! Turning to think about it, he was in a comatose state at that time, and he lost his breath, but in any case, he will not give the official authorization of "Magic Director".
Because Wang Yang is a person in the industry, he knows better than Steve Jobs and Bill Gates what a movie is. "Magic Director" is not a biographical document or a documentary, but a short story adaptation. If Paramount feels that the audience is buying it, he can even treat Jeff Ma's bleaching in "December 21". This kind of plot film with "youth, restlessness, and sex" will make some simple things complicated and complicated things more complicated after team discussion and artistic processing. In order to make the story more dramatic, conflict and more discussion, It is quite normal to delete or modify.
In short, the beginning, exhibition and ending of the film will be in line with reality, but all the details in it, including the characters involved and the character ’s character, are dramatized, which means that Jessica can be deleted, and the ghost record The heroine replaced Rachel, all for the creation of "it should be like that", for the box office and awards. Wang Yang knows that no matter what he says, Wang Yang in "Magic Director" will still be the product of a director, screenwriter, etc. If he is a playboy, he will be a playboy; if he is a geek, he will Will be geeks, of course, the most likely to be based on public image.
"That's a shame, miraculous Yang, your story is really fascinating ... You don't want to participate in the mood, I understand."
Scott Ruding received a very regretful voice from the microphone. The 47-year-old gold producer made his debut in the last century and has participated in the production of "The World of Chumen", "Miracle Kid" and "Every Moment" in recent years. "," Rock School "," Steal Heart "and other mainstream commercial or artistic films, many are the first production producers. In his view, "Fantastic Director" will be the kind of movie that has been well-received and shocked Oscar. Rudin asked: "Do you have any suggestions?"
"I suggest that I want Chinese actors to play me." Wang Yang's tone is very serious. The country uses Asians to divide ethnic groups, but of course he wants Chinese to play Chinese. Koreans and Japanese are weird. Scott Ruding over there did not dare to guarantee: "We will do our best." Wang Yang pouted unpleasantly and continued to say seriously: "Also, it is very important! I know you have collected my high school materials, Moz Richie ’s novel also mentioned my high school girlfriend. I was crazy because I lost her. Is n’t that hard to hear? Is n’t it? Ha!
Rudin laughed happily.
Wang Yang smiled. In fact, his love history has long been exposed by the gossip media of the three-foot digging. Since the opening of "He Shamo's Sky", since the "white man, her name is Helen, they have very good feelings" Some love incidents were actually dug up, maybe which friend betrayed him. In front of him, Helen's cool face vaguely appeared, and Wang Yangyu said with a warning: "I hope you don't disturb her! She is married, don't do so many things! As for the movie, I guess at most it is some flashback shots, Just delete this person! "
"Yang, you know these are not things I can decide. It depends on what the screenwriter and director think of them in the future ..." Scott Ruding still dare not guarantee, he chuckled with laughter: "And it is unlikely to delete her, That is a key point. "
"What key? Rudin! You know that as soon as the film is shot, someone will believe that it is all true. Don't embarrass my wife, my friend, and ex-girlfriend, ok?" Wang Yangsheng sat upright with anger, He is most afraid of these things about this matter. "Magic Director" is not a Disney youth movie, it is aimed at Oscar, so he never misses Helen, Jessica is a substitute, or he has a sexual relationship with Rachel ...
You must know that Mozridge ’s story does not have Bill Gates as Steve Jobs, so the friendship, battle, battle between two young and restless girls, fraud and betrayal are likely to become One of the key points. Yang + Jessica + Rachel, is n’t this a gossip selling point that attracts fans? At the same time, the actor who plays Jessica needs to exercise his smirk well in accordance with the tricky tricks in reality.
After passing these thoughts, Wang Yang couldn't help but take a deep breath. While Scott Ruding supported me, he said very seriously: "You better not anger me, if it is born, I will be nothing Don't do it, at least I will snipe it. "
"Magic Young, I'm sorry! If" Magic Director "offends you, I will apologize to you first." Scott Ruding quickly quelled Wang Yang's anger, and the young leader's murderous words scared the gold medal system a little. For the movie, take a look at "City of Sin". It's hard to get a champion by suddenly appearing in "Ghost Story 3". "Magic Yang's Wrath" is uncomfortable. Scott Ruding said sincerely: "This is really a very good story, Magic Yang, you are a legend! Seriously, you should learn to get used to these, not only we want to make your legend."
Wang Yang scratched his head helplessly, resting his plastered right hand on the desk and said, "Scott, I don't want to disturb your creation. I'm not such a stingy person. I'm also curious about this movie. What will it look like, I will watch it with my family in the future. "He paused and said," Understood? I don't personally think it's what you like, but don't involve women. "
Scott Rudinglian claimed to be justified, but Wang Yang suddenly sighed in relief, knowing that he was probably talking nonsense, and the other party would not be threatened by him with a few threats, so let ’s take a look at the evil Bill Guy in The Legend of Silicon Valley. I want it! He still said peace of mind: "Some things need to stop, you also have family."
"Yes, yes, I understand your worries, miraculous Yang ... Our ultimate goal is just a classic movie." Scott Ruding expressed politely that he could not guarantee it.
I know! Wang Yang rolled his eyes. At this time, his phone rang suddenly, and he ended the call in amusement: "Ok, then there is nothing to say, just like this! I hope Wang Yang will be handsome enough on the screen in the future." In fact, Wang Yang does n’t think anyone can play him well, he is so handsome ... Think about the hard work of the casting of "T-21-Team", even if the casting of "Magic Director" involves the whole of North America, Judging from the situation of Asian male actors around the age, they may be able to find ~ EbookFREE.me ~ maybe not.
"Unfortunately I know you too late, otherwise Natalie Portman will also appear on the screen, which is really interesting." Listening to Natalie's laugh over the phone, Wang Yang shrugged with a smile: "That It ’s a good idea to play Allen Peggy.
Natalie asked curiously:
Did you give them any advice?
Wang Yang shook his head:
No, my suggestions do n’t work, just follow it. Naturally! "Natalie yelled and talked about the serious matter:" The Day with Shamo "was turned on this week, but I still have a lot of Shamo's problems that I have not figured out."
"Tell me what's wrong?" As for Natalie's question, Wang Yang talked with her for a while, and he didn't end the call until the meeting time came. Hearing the meeting, Natalie suddenly remembered something and asked enthusiastically, "What dog movie is going to be made in Flame Movie? Is Yorkshire the protagonist? How is my family's Charlie?" Wang Yang stood up and walked out of the office , While smiling at the phone: "I'm afraid it's not Yorkshire, this time the goal is large dogs."
In the bright conference room, the senior members of the flame movie were sitting on both sides of the long conference table. Wang Yang was present as chairman, and Mark Srant and other people were sitting on both sides.
"The copyright of the filming of" I am Legend "is still with Warner Bros." Mark Srant had a difficult face, and Wang Yang thought about what he was looking at. "Is there any purchase?"
