Chapter 885: Hair spray

The revival of musicals triggered by "Moulin Rouge" and "Chicago" has not yet dissipated. "Mamma Mia" rushed into the movie market with a more cheerful attitude, compiling a love fairy tale with moving singing and dancing.
Just as fashion and fashion often go retro, the fashion break of "old" movies always shines brightly.
And the positioning of "Mamma Mia" is very precise, it is a female audience group.
This is a gift prepared by Relativity Entertainment for all female audiences. Middle-aged people can miss their youth in the songs of the ABBA band, and can use Meryl Streep’s mother as a projection of themselves; and young girls You can freely indulge in the scenery of the Greek island and the happiest feeling before the wedding.
Of course, warm and touching family and friendship are indispensable.
"Mamma Mia" hits the softest and most romantic part of women's hearts.
On the first day of the film's release in North America, the first-hand data of Embassy Pictures was passed to Ronan, who had just finished the meeting in the Theory of Relativity Building.
On the first day of "Mamma Mia", women accounted for 79% of the audience, and over 65% of the audience were over 25 years old.
On the first day of the film’s release, it earned $15.42 million in North America, and also set a record for the opening of a song and dance film in North America.
In the past, Meryl Streep, who could only work hard in low-cost literary films, also proved to the world that she has it through two films "The Devil Wearing Prada" and "Mamma Mia" in collaboration with Relativity Entertainment. Box office appealing.
Regardless of the rumors of Meryl Streep, there is no doubt that she is dedicated enough.
Hollywood measures stars, and it has nothing to do with morality.
Meryl Streep also worked hard. With the cooperation of Relativity Entertainment, he publicly bombarded a certain group in New York on Friday, not only earning a good reputation for herself, but also attracting attention for the film that has just begun to be shown.
"Nowadays, more and more actors are not hesitating on the operating table in order to look young. It is surprising that there are so many actors on the road of cosmetic surgery."
In an interview with reporters at a press conference on "Mamma Mia", Meryl Streep talked about the aging face and shot directly at the plastic surgeons: "I can't accept this. Alone. We should accept getting old and embrace life at different ages."
She publicly stated that her mentality in this regard is very stable: "The good thing is that when you are old, the roles that the filmmakers come to find you are very interesting. You are no longer a beautiful heroine, but you can try some different things. Things. In the past few years, I have played many unique roles on the screen."
This caused an uproar in the media, because it is a common phenomenon for Hollywood stars to have plastic surgery or injections. The best place in the world for high-end plastic surgery technology is neither in Korea nor Thailand, but in Beverly Hills!
Meryl Streep’s interview spread quickly. The plastic surgery community in Hollywood is too large, but most people remain silent at such moments.
Some people couldn't help but fight back, saying that Meryl Streep didn't speak through the brain and didn't consider the actual situation at all.
In some ways, this is not unreasonable.
How many stars in Hollywood can get so many heavyweight roles at Meryl Streep's age?
Some fans express their opinions through Netflix.
"How many people can be like Meryl Streep, who is almost sixty and still have so many good shows to perform? Think about it, those actors are not easy."
"Because of Meryl Streep's status and achievements, words can be said so easily."
It is not the first time that Meryl Streep has gained attention by bombardment. It can be described as a familiarity, and it has attracted more fans' attention for "Mamma Mia".
These have effectively increased the popularity of the film, thereby attracting more fans into the theater.
The first week in North America passed, "Mamma Mia" unexpectedly defeated Focus Pictures' "New Pride and Prejudice" and became the North American box office champion of the week!
This film set a new North American weekend box office record for a song and dance film of 37.75 million US dollars!
"As one of the participants in this historic weekend, we have also contributed to its phenomenal success." Meryl Streep once again stood up and continued to shout for herself for the film: "I I have been in this business for 30 years, and this is a weekend that makes people love crazy."
"Mamma Mia" is not only selling movies, but also original soundtrack DVDs that were released before the movie.
A considerable part of the music and songs in this film are not original, using 22 classic songs of the Swedish ABBA band, and the film soundtrack released this time contains 17 of them.
In the first week of its release, the original soundtrack was ranked third on the Billboard Album Sales Chart, with sales of 220,000 copies.
Although considered as great as Elvis and The Beatles, the album of the ABBA band never made it into the top 10 of the Billboard North American Albums Chart.
However, with the popularity of "Mamma Mia" movies and soundtracks, the popularity of ABBA has risen again.
Many parties predict that with the blessing of the movie boom, the soundtrack of "Mamma Mia" will surely sit on the top of the billboard album sales chart next week.
In the past ten years, there have been 8 soundtracks that have consistently maintained the Billboard North American album sales champion. The most brilliant result is the "Titanic" movie soundtrack, which has led the album chart for 16 weeks.
James Cameron disliked it very much, and even clashed with Twentieth Century Fox several times. He wanted to replace the "My Heart Eternal", creating the craziest soundtrack sales data in the history of film.
The success of "Mamma Mia" also created a good start for Relativity Entertainment in the genre of musicals.
The music team of the crew is a relatively mature combination. After several interviews with George Clint, most of them agreed to join the crew of "Hannah Montana" and start a new creation.
"Hannah Montana" also has a successful music team.
Success always brings more attention and attracts more people's attention.
A director and producer took the project and found the Relativity Building. After a meeting with George Clint, the project appeared in Ronan's office.
"This morning, John Waters took the initiative to contact me." George Clint said roughly what happened: "Then I met with him in the office. John Waters is planning a musical plan. Shooting the film "Hairspray" directed by him in 1988."
Ronan flipped through the project plan. It was probably the success of "Mamma Mia" that brought John Waters to the door.
He is not familiar with this director, but George Clint appended John Waters' details to the plan.
John Waters gained fame for a series of Cult films shot in the 70s. The most notable feature of his films is that they have a very heavy taste.
"Trash Pope", "King of Disgusting", "Father of Evil Taste", these titles are the best interpretation of John Waters' film style.
The 1988 musical "Hairspray" was John Waters' first film accepted by the mainstream film industry.
However, in Ronan’s eyes, these introductions are not as intuitive as a film written and directed by John Waters to more intuitively reflect his style and characteristics.
The name of this film is-"Pink Holly Bird"!
The 300-pound saint is probably impressed by many people. According to the introduction in the information, the saint was played by an actor...
Ronan was puzzled, looked up at the opposite side, and asked: "Is John Waters promoting musicals?"
Does the actor sing and eat...
George Clint said: "John Waters rarely does that kind of heavy-mouth movie now. In John Waters's view, his 1988 "Hairspray" was actually through a white man The perspective—that is, the eyes of the protagonist of the obese girl, to look at the desegregation movement."
Ronan asked: "In other words, the heroine is a fat girl?"
"Yes." George Clint further said: "In 2002, John Waters joined Broadway to adapt "Hairspray" into a musical called "Hairspray: Musical Comedy."
He emphatically said: ""Hairspray: Musical Comedy" won the Tony Awards. It was nominated for 13 Tony Awards and won 8 of them, including Best Musical Comedy, Best Actor, Best Lead Costume design, best acoustic music, etc."
Ronan was very surprised: "Musicals are popular?"
"I'm still performing at the Neil Simon Theater on Broadway." George Clint apparently had a preliminary understanding: "I specifically asked Broadway partners and friends in the theater industry. They asked about "Hairspray: Music "Comedy" has a very high evaluation. I think it is easy to understand, has cute characters and popular themes, and has won the love of audiences of almost all ages."
Ronan flipped through the project plan, tapped his finger lightly, and said: "This is essentially a Cinderella story, a short and fat dancing girl who dreams of becoming a star..."
George Clint added at this time: "By the way, John Waters mentioned to me that John Travolta has promised him that he will play a role in it. Well... it's the heroine. Mother."
"Reverse acting?" Ronan couldn't help laughing: "Interesting ~EbookFREE.me~ John Travolta's performance talent in musicals is undoubtedly, this can be proved by many previous films.
But Ronan didn't have any impression of this project called "Hairspray" and couldn't remember it at all.
The director of "Pink Holly Bird" shoots a musical?
At first glance it looks quite unreliable.
However, John Waters was deeply involved in the adaptation of the musical, but it achieved great success on Broadway.
Ronan thought for a few minutes and said to George Clint: "I'm going to San Francisco to see Steve Jobs tomorrow. You make an appointment with John Waters. I want to see him when I come back."
