At the beginning of December, it's a delicate schedule. Going forward, it's Thanksgiving, going back and that's Christmas, and standing still, it's awards season.

This can be said to be an extremely lively schedule, but it can also be said to be an extremely cold schedule. After the "Harry Potter" series and the "Twilight" series became the winners of the schedule, the film companies have tried to tap more potential of the schedule, but sometimes it is good and sometimes bad, like Duan Yu's six-vein sword, the outcome is really unpredictable.

The first week of December 2011 was such a lonely time.

Three weeks ago, "Twilight: Breaking Dawn (Part I)" officially premiered, and in the midst of a lot of verbal criticism, it handed over a record high of 138 million, once again showing people the huge market energy of fan movies, but the following week, the next week of "Breaking Dawn" fell by as much as 70%, calming down the schedule overnight with an avalanche.

Then came this week, "Fighting Cancer" was actually the only newly released work, but this was only a work with an investment of 8 million, and the entire North American box office market was like a bankrupt Detroit, a ghost town, deserted, uncared for, and uninhabited.

Lionsgate's intention in choosing this schedule couldn't be clearer, that is, to grab the space. Now it seems that their strategy has undoubtedly succeeded, and even the awards season works have been abandoned this week, and only one "shame" has been screened in ten theaters, making "I Fight Cancer" the only focus of attention.

Even in the middle of nowhere, this seems excessively deserted.

However, no one could have predicted the direction of the holiday stalls, and this time it was no different. After the premiere of "Fighting Cancer", it first detonated a crowd of onlookers comparable to "Breaking Dawn" at Lincoln Center, and then the popularity of online news even surpassed "Breaking Dawn" and approached the finale of "Harry Potter" in the summer file; then the heat wave of praise from the media comprehensive reviews came to the face, and the boiling of Christmas seemed to be impatient to detonate in early December.

Washington Post, 91 points, "It's easy for a movie with such a theme to fall into a profound life insight, or a torrent of sensational emotions, or a fragile bloody comedy, but fortunately, 'Fighting Cancer' successfully avoided these pitfalls and dedicated a light-hearted comedy that leaves the audience to think about and reminisce." Maybe the happy ending is too Hollywood, but it's based on the real experience of the screenwriter, and who can complain more?"

"Variety", 88 points, "It is not an easy task for a movie focusing on disease to show such delicate care, but 'I am fighting cancer' has done it, refusing to hide the pain and refuse to magnify the pain, and the movie has found its own way of expression and touched the hearts of every audience." By the way, Lan Li-Hall is definitely the soul of the work!"

Los Angeles Times, eighty-eight points, "It's a simple, pure movie, it wants the audience to laugh, it does it, and it wants the audience to taste life, and it does it." ”

"U.S. Weekly", eighty-eight points, "Every episode, every plot, every turn is so old-fashioned, so familiar, so routine, but you will laugh, you will cry, you will be moved, you will be happy." The important thing is that you will like it. ”

The New York Times, eighty-three, "Brilliant performances, which are a plus, with Seth Rogan, Ranley Hall, and Anna Kendrick doing their job brilliantly and even surprising—specifically Ranley Hall; ”

"Vanity Fair", eighty points, "In this comedy movie with tears in laughter, from laughter to tears and back to reflection, Lan Li Hall, perhaps the actor with the most solid acting skills and the most agile acting touch among Generation Y, gave the most commendable performance on the big screen this year, avoiding the movie from falling into the trap of routines." ”

"Seattle Post", 80 points, "Lee-Hall's expression is so real, so delicate, so vivid, he not only convinces every audience that this is a fighter against cancer who is happy in the midst of suffering, but also successfully hits the softness in every audience's heart, the helplessness and anger in the face of disease, just like real life, we need to face not only cancer, but many, many troubles of our own." ”

……

From four perfect scores to one twenty-five points, in the middle, thirty-three positive reviews and eight medium reviews, successfully determined the tone of the first round of film reviews of "I Fight Cancer" as praise, and one after another praise swept away the haze of the North American market in the past month, and once again let people see an excellent work with outstanding reputation!

Among them, "US Weekly" brought up the old story, and they once again brought up the Seattle incident in February this year. Now, the news about Lan Li's malicious hype has disappeared, but Gavin Hunter reminds all the audience that in the work "I Fight Cancer", Lan Li's performance is so real and vivid that even real cancer patients have expressed their approval and awakened deep resonance in their hearts. This proves once again that the accusations are false.

Combined with the news hype after the premiere, this is undoubtedly more interesting.

In the feature report written by Gavin, he concluded: Last year, in order to shoot "I Fight Cancer", Lan Li regrettably missed the Oscars, and now, the excellent performance of "Fighting Cancer" once again proves that Lan Li is the most talented and spiritual actor in Generation Y, so can this work bring him back to the Oscar stage?

After the official release of "Fighting Cancer", "I Fight Cancer" easily became the focus of attention, and in the end, after the comments of 42 media outlets, the comprehensive evaluation of the media was as high as 80 points, which was basically the same as the 81 points of "Juno", which once again aroused continuous attention and heated discussions on the Internet.

The excellent performance of the media comprehensive review has subsequently carried over to other reviews.

On the Rotten Tomatoes website, there are 188 media reviews, which is a staggering number although it cannot be compared with the popular films in the summer file, after all, the movie has just held its premiere. In the end, the Rotten Tomatoes freshness index reached a staggering 96 percent, making it undoubtedly the most acclaimed commercial film in this year's fall and holiday seasons.

In addition to the 96 percent freshness index, Rotten Tomatoes also scored 8.5 points! Following the professional media, the mass media also reached a unanimous opinion, or even better, and sang the praises of "me fighting cancer" one after another.

Not only the media, but in fact, the audience also gave similar opinions, the popcorn index was 89 percent, and the theater score handed over the answer sheet of "A-", you can clearly feel that the audience who attended the premiere, and the audience who walked into the cinema on the first day of the official premiere, they were full of praise for the work, and the overall performance was basically the same as the media.

The most incredible thing is that on IMDB, more than 5,300 viewers of "Fighting Cancer" voted for it, and the score reached 8.4 points in one go!

At present, because the number of voters is not enough, "I who fight cancer" has not been able to enter the list, but if it is calculated according to the data of 8.4 points, in the list of classic 250 masterpieces, it can stride among the top 100, ranking in the range of 50 to 70!

It is a rare feat for any work to make it to this list, because it is a list that has stood the test of millions of fans.

Although it is said that the number of voters for "Anti-Cancer Me" is still too small, and the score is not accurate; although it is said that after the accident of the premiere of "Anti-Cancer Me", there is a possibility that fans will brush up the scores, and the score will fall back with the advancement of time, although it is said that "Anti-Cancer Me" is now only theoretically on the list......

However, with a score of only 8.4 points, this is enough to make people feel the attention and affirmation of the work "I Fight Cancer". It is worth mentioning that this is the first work that Lan Li can "theoretically" be on the list so far, and before that, neither "buried alive" nor "crazy in love" has been able to create such a feat, which shows the position of "I who fight cancer" now.

From professional media to mass media, from professional audiences to ordinary audiences, "I Fight Cancer" is triggering an all-round wave of praise, and under the impetus and catalysis of the unexpected events of the premiere, it has burst out with tenfold or even hundredfold influence, and has spread mightily. This is definitely something that no one expected the ending, not even Lionsgate.

Originally, everyone thought that the first week of December would be a boring, silent, and boring schedule, and that there might not even be news worth reporting. But the reality is that it is precisely such an independent work of shrimp soldiers and crab generals that has successfully caused a sensation throughout North America, and has gradually become the most watched work in the holiday file.

The powerful momentum even faintly surpassed the "dawn". At the end of the day, "Breaking Dawn" is a pure fan movie that is not of interest to anyone other than a specific teenage audience, but "Fighting Cancer" is a comedy, a comedy that everyone can watch, and an inspirational story about the journey of fighting cancer?

At this moment, the audience's curiosity and enthusiasm were completely detonated.

Taking a step back and thinking about it, just after Thanksgiving, the family atmosphere hasn't had time to completely dissipate, maybe it's a good idea to watch a movie together as a family, Christmas hasn't arrived yet, and it's a good idea to choose a warm and funny comedy movie when you go to the cinema to relax on the weekend, and the awards season seems to be missing the bombardment of this week, so look at "Fighting Cancer", maybe this work has sprung up in the middle of the awards season? Anyway, the media and the audience love this work so much, what's not possible?

The most deserted schedule has become the most lively weekend.
