513 Not to be outdone

Crazy, this is absolutely insane.

Although "Entertainment Weekly" gave a terrifying 38 points, this still could not stop "Fast & Thrill/Emotion 5" from making history, and after the premiere, the comprehensive score of 43 professional media was released, as high as 73 points! Amazing 73 points! This is not crazy, or what? The whole world is crazy!

Seventy-three points, this is not only the highest rating for a film series, but also the first time that a film in a series has crossed the passing line in terms of media reviews - far exceeding the passing standard, and more importantly, even among similar films, this score is among the highest.

The overall media evaluation of "Speed of Life and Death" is 78 points, and the overall media evaluation of "Cars" is 73 points. By the way, the media comprehensive evaluation of "Iron Man" is 79 points, while the score of the second part has dropped to 57 points.

After comparison, it can be seen that "Fast and Thrill/Emotional 5" not only got rid of the shadow of B-grade movies, but also ranked among the ranks of commercial films. It may not be called a classic, but it is indeed a good masterpiece, which is definitely a leap forward for the series of films, and it has been reborn.

The opening battle of the summer file, from the very beginning of the disparity in strength, industry insiders don't even think that the two are of the same magnitude; gradually developed to the present, in the face of the 73 points of the media comprehensive evaluation of "Speed and Excitement / Emotion 5", as well as the positive feedback from the audience after the premiere, the suspense of victory and defeat suddenly began to become unknown. Such a seismic change is really too rapid and too ferocious.

What's more, from industry leaders such as "Variety" and "Hollywood Reporter", to top North American media such as "Los Angeles Times" and "New York Times", to professional magazines such as "Village Voice" and "Premiere", all mention "Blue Rite-Hall".

Unbelievable! Incredible! Mysterious and mysterious! Amazing! Unbelievable!

It can be said that thanks to the recent period of topic hype, people's attention will involuntarily focus on Lan Li and care about his performance; it can also be said that Lan Li, who has experienced the ups and downs of the past few months and is always in the whirlpool, is bound to gain more attention from his critical gaze; It can also be said that Lan Li, who received the first Oscar nomination, is naturally not a nobody in the eyes of film critics.

But, no matter how you interpret it, this is the case, and no one can deny the excellence of Lan Li. In a limited space and limited time, he successfully gave the character Hobbes a strong vitality, and really rubbed a spark with the plot, becoming one of the biggest highlights of "Fast and Exciting / Emotional 5".

The young actor, who has successfully occupied a place in Hollywood with his two works "Pacific War" and "Buried Alive", has continued his strong performance into commercial works, with appropriate performances, bold images, and vigorous and agile skills, all of which make him full of magical charm and shine on the screen when summer is approaching.

While this is rare, it's not impossible in Hollywood.

For example, after the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", it was the mermaid and Sam Claflin (Sam-Claflin) who really stood out, for example, in "Wolverine", the unexpectedly popular Deadpool made Ryan Reynolds, and for example, in the "Lord of the Rings" series, the elf prince who has a limited appearance time but is popular all over the world, Orlando Bloom (Orlando-Bloom).

This time, as the third protagonist of "Fast and Thrill/Love 5", Lan Li successfully stole the demeanor of the two absolute male protagonists, and received another affirmation from the media. This is a great honor for a rookie actor and a young actor who has only starred in three films.

"Lan Li VS Chris", "Lan Li VS Natalie", originally this was an untenable duel, but now the situation has changed abruptly, and the atmosphere of saber rattling has suddenly begun to spread.

Although Lan Li is only the third protagonist of "Fast and Thrill/Love 5", and Chris is the male protagonist of "Thor", the roles of the two must be placed on an unfair scale, but Lan Li has become the most topical character in the movie with his talent and charm, as for whether Chris can give the superhero he plays like Robert Downey Jr., more personal charm and character, this is still unknown.

Although Lan Li's current work base is still too small, Natalie is a veteran who has been rolling in Hollywood for more than ten years, and there is no comparison in terms of ability and achievements, but Lan Li's current works are full of hits and still maintain a perfect success rate, and conversely, Natalie, as an actress, can get rid of the fixed impression of a vase and stand out in superhero movies, which is still unknown.

In other words, in these two duels, Lan Li handed over a brilliant answer, not only did not fall behind, but also had the potential to take advantage. So, what will Chris do and what will Natalie do to perform?

The opening battle is really coming, and that's probably the only thought on everyone's mind. Even though it wasn't possible, it happened.

In the face of the amazing performance of "Fast & Furious 5", how will "Thor" respond?

Chris Hemsworth, who is on a routine daily running mission, is once again surrounded by reporters, but this time he seems unhurried, with a bright smile, short blond hair, and glittering sweat, which makes him look like Thor, the god of thunder who fell from the sky, and is full of charm.

"Ha, yes, I heard. I didn't have time to read the newspaper yet, but I did. That's a good thing, congratulations!" When the reporter mentioned that "Fast & Thrill 5" received unanimous praise from the media, Chris wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied with a smile, "To be honest, I'm a little conflicted right now, on the one hand, I'm a little excited, looking forward to the success of the movie's premiere box office, but on the other hand, I'm a little worried that if they do too well at the box office, we will suddenly be under a lot of pressure, which is bad." ”

Funny and humorous, advance and retreat appropriately. In just a few weeks, Chris has completed his transformation.

Today's interview was expected, Fisher explained every detail in a thousand words, Chris naturally couldn't go wrong, and even that charming smile had been practiced countless times.

Then the reporter again provocatively asked a sharp question, "Can you defeat Lan Li?"

Chris not only did not panic, but also chuckled, "The contest between men can only be proven through actual actions." Let's hope the stronger one wins. ”

Emphasizing uprightness, emphasizing male friendship, emphasizing strength witness, stripped away all the vines, showing a confident posture, but not showing weakness. This is the image strategy that Fisher developed for Chris. From now on, he has executed it very well.

"So, what do you think about the 'borrowed door'? Have you ever communicated with Lan Li?" The reporter certainly won't make Chris feel better, how insidious is the problem.

Chris's defence remained solid, "I thought we were okay and wouldn't hype the news anymore." A real man's duel naturally uses strength to decide the winner. ”

An understatement, without admitting or denying it, or even responding positively, simply used the word "hype" to bring it over, and then returned to the core position. After saying that, Chris didn't give the reporters time to continue to ask questions, took another step, and trotted back to the apartment.

Fisher clearly knows that lip service is used for hype, but the victory or defeat still depends on the box office. Things have developed to such a point that those glamorous and ghostly means can be put aside for the time being, and it is only right that they can concentrate on promoting "Thor" and ensuring that the box office of the opening weekend exceeds 100 million.

Chris knows this, and Paramount knows it. The "Thor" crew will naturally not easily involve themselves in the whirlpool again. The reporters' calculations are about to fail this time.

The next day, the major news outlets reported, "Chris Hemsworth is determined to win!"

With the amazing media review of "Fast and Thrill/Emotion 5" debuting, the two sides of the opening battle have become closer in strength, which is naturally not good news for "Thor", but for reporters, it is perfect.

As bystanders, what they need is not a duel without suspense, but a war, a white-hot war with bayonets! The more intense the better, the hotter the better, and the closer the better, because this means more highlights, more explosions, more news, and, of course, the higher the sales.

Universal Pictures and Paramount Pictures are behind the scenes, and they don't give in to each other.

Universal Pictures announced three different behind-the-scenes shooting footage on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other social media networks for three consecutive days, and continued to add "Fast and Thrill/Emotion 5" tidbits, and with the grand occasion after the premiere, they also released a special issue of Blue Gifts, editing funny tidbits of Blue Gifts going wrong on the set, and blatantly began to "attract fans".

Paramount took advantage of the situation to release the last trailer of "Thor", and at the same time arranged for Chris, Natalie and Anthony to attend the evening talk show, and also arranged an internal preview screening of the "Iron Man", "Thor" and "Captain America" crews, and rumors of positive reviews spread in Hollywood. It can be seen that Paramount has officially entered the sprint stage of movie promotion.

Since Wednesday, the entire North American market has shown an unprecedented boom, which is not a summer file, but it is better than a summer file. In the first week of the summer season in previous years, there has never been such a noisy scene, and in a trance, people have completely forgotten that this is still the last week of the spring file, and the heat wave of midsummer has arrived a week early.

However, so far, it is only the premiere, and the only criterion for judging is the data of the media comprehensive evaluation, and the specific situation will have to wait until the premiere on Friday and walk into the cinema in person to reveal the answer.

The opening battle is ready to go!
