Chapter 312: Don't Know a Fart's "Clown"!
Last weekend, in the first week of its release, "Joker" topped the North American weekend box office chart with a box office of 96.2 million US dollars. ”
It should be noted here that the statistics of the North American box office are not the same as those in China.
The statistics here are the weekly weekend box office, that is, the box office on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
So "Joker" was only released for three days, and the North American box office was close to 100 million US dollars.
But Disney is also powerful enough.
The number of theaters screened in North America for the release of "Joker" directly reached 4,374, ranking first in the same period.
Now Disney is already having a celebration party.
After all, the investment cost is 50 million US dollars, and the box office basically exceeded 100 million in three days after its release.
And what has not been announced to the public is that after the completion of the reform of Disney theme parks, the profitability of Disney theme parks has directly increased several times!
At the internal board meeting, the CEO even joked that if Fang Bei didn't have that idea, he would have wanted to step down directly and let Xian let Fang Bei become CEO.
What's more, Fang Bei also provided a "bad move", that is, to spend a lot of money to create an independent legal department, and then recruit outstanding lawyers from all over the world to start making trouble!
Tut-tut......
What a genius!
It's really condescending to be a director.
So the board of directors unanimously agreed to Fang's proposal, intending to open high-priced Disney theme parks around the world in the future, and then enter China to engage in a "low-cost zone strategy".
Xiaodi's road to "Huaguo Conscience Enterprise" is gone.
Having said that, after the movie was released, a bunch of praise from the other party and "Joker" were endless.
Although they were also very curious about why Fang Bei hadn't given any interviews, it was Fang Bei, and it was understandable that someone who could say "I am the chosen one and the only one" was a little genius.
If he remains modest at this time, it is not modesty, but hypocrisy.
It's the same with Jose Mourinho.
When he announced that he would become Tottenham head coach, football journalists across Europe who were planning to resign were not resigning.
More than 80 media outlets from more than 60 countries applied for a press conference, and Tottenham refused many because they couldn't sit down.
Then an interview can be divided into dozens of parts, and behavioral experts analyze his inner thoughts based on what he said at the press conference, as well as his tone and actions......
Although many media sprayed him, there is one thing to say, everyone can't do without him.
Right now, for example, "Hollywood tyrant" Tom Smith is reading a long movie review with a front-page headline in the daily planet.
"When we mention Fang Bei, the first thing that comes to mind is his 'Superhero Cinematic Universe'.
"Captain China" created a precedent for superhero movies, "Shadow of Light" won multiple awards in Venice and the Oscars, "Superheroes" eclectic antihero routines and ironic connotations, and the "League of Legends" trilogy can be said to be the super-popcorn work of the superhero universe series!
But in everyone's impression, Fang Bei is a super genius with a lot of personality! and he is also a talented director of commercial blockbusters!"
"At first, I thought it was a classic superhero popcorn movie, but it's clear that director Fang didn't think so. ”
He didn't want to be a regular superhero or an anti-hero, or a repetition of the previous popcorn plot. ”
"So, when it all comes together, the 'superhero movie' we see becomes a story about how an untalented comedian and the submissive underprivileged people embark on the road to becoming a supervillain. ”
"He's a lonely wanderer wandering on the edge of the city, craving attention. ”
"He was an idolistic cult of comedy superstars, and in the end he became the center of attention in the form of violence. ”
"The whole film does not have the shocking conspiracy and cool special effects that Director Fang used to use in the past, this is just a movie about how the 'Joker' was born. ”
"The whole film can be divided into several stages.
In the first part, Director Fang used very little space to tell what kind of person the clown played by the protagonist Arthur Fleck is.
Each subsequent turn symbolizes Arthur's further abyss into the abyss known as the 'Joker', until the end, when he completely abandons his humanity and turns into a crazy and disorderly Joker. ”
"In the beginning, he was just a submissive underclass. If you are bullied, you can only hate and endure it silently in your heart. Until...... He got the pistol that his colleague had lent him for self-defense. ”
"When he shot and killed three 'Wall Street elites' who bullied him on the subway, he looked into the mirror in the toilet and opened his arms. Is he hugging himself, or is it a demon named 'Joker'?"
At this point, he has completed the first step towards self-destruction with acts of violence that violate the law - declaring war on those of his own kind with bad intentions. ”
"After killing these three 'Wall Street elites', he was regarded as a hero for the heavens by the people at the bottom, and those 'people' began to follow in the footsteps of the Joker, and for the first time in his life, Arthur discovered that he could also receive the attention of the public. ”
And after learning about the fact that he was abused by his adoptive parents in his childhood, ridiculed and ridiculed by his idol on a talk show, and after discovering that his girlfriend was just a fantasy, he raised his hand and 'shot' himself who still longed to be accepted and recognized by secular society.
Later, when he kills his adoptive mother, the second step of self-destruction is complete - ending his connection to the world. ”
When he did it all with his own hands, he found himself at the end of his pain.
In the past, he thought that his life was a complete tragedy, but at this time he found that his life was a comedy. ”
"After that, he was no longer Arthur Fleck, he was a 'clown' in Arthur's skin. ”
So when a colleague came to the door, he did not hesitate to shoot the colleague who framed him. ”
From this moment on, his expression was no longer confused, his eyes were full of confidence, the BGM of the movie became light and joyful, and even Gotham City, which did not see the sun all day long, began to let the sun fall. ”
In the end, he shot the host who made fun of him on the show, and was also his original idol. He buried his dreams and aspirations with his own hands. ”
Later, in the police car, looking at Gotham City in the chaos, he smiled from the bottom of his heart. ”
"And when the police car was overturned, he slowly walked up to the 'altar' on the roof of the car, he got everything he wanted, 'stage and audience'. ”
"He has no political position, it is all the 'evil' from the outside that forces him to gradually embark on this path of self-exile. ”
"And in my opinion, Fang Dao's best handling is at this end. ”
When the Joker is pushed to the altar, the next scene is indeed his conversation with Batman (this is a superhero launched by Fang Dao's SC Comics, according to our understanding, he will be the Joker's old enemy) in the madhouse. ”
"When he said, 'This is my story,' Batman was unmoved, and even said, 'This is the thirty-second version of what you said.'" ”
"It turns out that all this is meaningless, the clown is not crazy because he is forced by society, but he is a madman in the first place. ”
This seems to be the clown's mockery of the world, and it is like Director Fang's mockery of the audience and our film critics. ”
"But I have to say, this is a movie with a lot of stamina. ”
"The other thing is the strength of the color and editing storyboards of the whole film! ”
In short, to sum it up, then this Joker is bound to be the best superhero movie of the year, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best movie of the year! The only thing I am worried about now is that other directors should not be too deeply influenced by this movie and then make some superhero movies with depth.
can integrate these two themes so perfectly, in addition to the genius director of Fang, I am afraid that only Tom Smith has this ability.
I don't want to see all the superhero movies that come after that are all about social class injustice and about depth.
Because most directors can't shoot it, and they don't have that effect.
Director Fang really closed the door to the superhero movie he personally opened this time, no...... It is more reasonable to use Pandora's box that has been opened, because this movie that combines story, depth, connotation and business so well is that few people can really make it.
So I once again advise all directors, don't learn from Fang Gui, because you can't learn this kind of genius behavior.
As Fang Dao himself said: He is the chosen one and only. ”
After reading it, the film critic reporter who wrote this film review wiped the cold sweat on his forehead: "Sir, can you put down the gun now?"
Franklin smiled slightly, "Of course, but we won't let you go until the second part is finished." ”
He turned around and said, "Old Cui, help take care of him." ”
"Of course. Trevor walked over and glanced at his buttocks, but grinned, "We still have a lot of time." ”
Film Critic: "......"
Don't you come here!!
............
Huaguo, at the door of the nail salon that had been used as a warehouse next to Fang Mu Film and Television Company, Liu Mang, who was lying on the recliner, put down his mobile phone and sighed: "Old Fang, you are too strong! I didn't expect this clown to have so many connotations in it! No, I have to fly over there in a few days to have a look!"
Wu Kai next to him also nodded and said, "Yes, let's go together when the time comes." ”
They really didn't expect Fang Bei's "Joker" to be praised by so many mainstream Hollywood voices!
This is completely contrary to the public opinion of "Super Heroes" and "League of Legends" at the beginning!
That's a must-see!
Fang Bei: "Heheda." ”
How can I not know that my movie is so good?
The reason why he made this movie in the first place was only because Wu Kai found Arthur Fleck, and he just wanted to disgust and satirize the capitalist world.
Didn't expect those guys to be so doggy?
I deliberately disgusted you, and you still want to sing me praises? Why do you send me a box office?
Are your crooked nuts all shaking M?
