In the second week of May 2011, the opening battle of the summer file finally ended. It's just that it's really over? The box office battle is indeed over, but the afterglow left behind is hardly over.

Before the opening battle began, even the most daring media, even the craziest insiders, even the fanatical fans of the "Fast & Thrill/Emotional" series, even the most loyal fans of Lanley-Hall, did not dare to make such a prediction, such an unbelievable prediction.

After "Variety" released the box office forecast for the opening battle, a small number of media put forward their opinions, they believed that the gap in this war would be smaller and the competition would be more fierce, but on the whole they still agreed with "Variety" on the whole. The Seattle Post is one of them.

Eli Wallach had already thought that "Fast & Thrill 5" had a chance of beating "Thor", but the odds were very, very slim. But even Eli, what he emphasized was the showdown of the premiere box office results, the three-day premiere weekend of "Fast and Thrill/Emotion 5" and the three-day premiere weekend of "Thor", the showdown of these two sets of data. Only a madman would think that "Fast & Thrill 5" can beat "Thor" and achieve the championship for the second consecutive year.

Now it seems that he is indeed crazy.

But that's the way it is, this week's North American box office charts, "Fast & Thrill/Emotion 5" pulled out its teeth, stepped on the shoulders of "Thor", and took the championship crown in the bag, pushing this wildest, craziest, and most exciting summer to the first wave of highs/tides.

What's even more incredible is that the cumulative box office of "Fast and Thrill 5" reached 193 million US dollars in two weeks, from Monday to Thursday, sweeping thousands of troops, without any opponents at all, showing rare box office dominance, and the cumulative box office in the same period has exceeded 177 million of "Iron Man", not only 200 million in North America has been within reach, but the benchmark of 300 million can basically be determined.

Two weeks, in just two weeks, "Fast and Exciting / Love 5" gave full play to its dark horse nature, and turned all the attention, all the attention, and all the hot spots of the opening battle into the box office, and became the biggest winner of this year's summer file in one go - no, the release time of this work is the spring file, so it should be the biggest winner of the spring file.

Universal Pictures was overjoyed, and even though the movie had only been released for two weeks, they couldn't wait to hold a celebration banquet and be full of joy.

Not only because "Fast & Excitement 5" has created the best results in the series, but also because of the huge success of this work, the series has completed the transformation from quantitative change to qualitative change, and has truly become a commercial blockbuster. Now what they need is not the question of shooting sequels, but the question of how many sequels should be filmed at all.

It's no exaggeration to say that Universal Pictures is now thinking about contract extensions – Vin Diesel and Paul Walker have to stay, Jordana Brewster has to stay, and who else?

"Lanli-Hall!"

This is an editorial from The New Yorker, and it is also their answer to Universal Pictures, "Complete the contract renewal of Le Le Hall as soon as possible! This is Universal's top priority!" In the commentary, they bluntly stated that the success of "Fast & Furious 5" is due to two people: Justin Lin and Le Le Hall.

As a director, Justin gave the film a sharp and tough temperament, which made the movie break away from the previous pattern of petty fights, showing a more magnificent overall view, and at the same time exerting the adrenaline brought by drag racing to the extreme, and he definitely contributed to the success of the movie.

As an actor, Lan Li gives the movie more story and depth of connotation.

For summer popcorn works, the storytelling of the script has never been paid enough attention, but in fact, shooting an excellent commercial work can never be separated from a solid story, which can be seen with James Cameron's two masterpieces "Titanic" and "Avatar" as examples. A good story can give commercial movies more pleasure, more climax, more excitement, and of course, a smoother viewing experience.

The character of Hobbes plays such a role in the film. His judgment of good and evil, his interpretation of law and morality, truly gives the story a whole new meaning: brotherhood, brotherhood that cannot be disappointed.

It is precisely because Reyes killed Hobbes's brother and partner that he decided to join the Dominic lineup and overthrow Reyes, it is because Brian did not hesitate to spare the family, and it is precisely because of the responsibility and burden in Hobbes's heart that he will never give up the mission of continuing to pursue Dominic and Brian.

The series "Fast and Thrilling" has been filmed in its fifth installment, and finally has a core theme. From Hobbs, from Hobbs played by Lan Li.

In the commentary, they concluded, "It's hard to imagine that if it weren't for Lan Li, it would be another actor to play Hobbs." So, is this work another 'Fast and Thrill/Emotional 4'?" means that it continues the simple and crude route that lacks the core of the story and becomes another B-grade popcorn blockbuster.

In fact, not only the "New Yorker", but also "Fast & Thrill/Emotion 5" won the championship for the first time, and the major media immediately made comments, and they generally believed that this was a "victory for Lanli-Hall".

Not only because of the two duels of "Lan Li VS Chris" and "Lan Li VS Natalie", Lan Li has won more attention as an individual, not only because Lan Li is a new face added to the fifth part of the series, attracting countless audiences with a stunning attitude, but also because Lan Li's outstanding performance in the movie has brought his personal charm to the extreme, and at the same time completed the most important piece of the puzzle of the movie's rebirth!

In comparison, what Chris and Natalie lost was a showdown at the box office, but also a showdown of performances. Both of them have been criticized for their performances in "Thor", especially Chris, who played Saul as a newcomer, and experienced first-hand the original "Hayden Christensen"-style dire situation. In this duel, they lost completely, and there was no room for maneuver.

In the past half a month, Lan Li has deservedly become the hottest topic of conversation, and even the two protagonists, Fan and Paul, are willing to bow down. There are not a few media outlets like The New Yorker who attribute the credit for their victory to Lan Li.

This is Hollywood, and there will never be a shortage of mythical stories of overnight success. What's more, Lan Li is no longer in such a category, and he was already in the limelight in the previous awards season.

Everyone is discussing the same topic, how did "Fast and Thrill/Emotion 5" create this miracle? How did Lan Li become the key gentleman in this miracle map? The summer file has just begun, and the North American film market has swept away the decline and shown a thriving attitude, and summer has arrived.

Fisher-Morgan was also thinking about the same question: how did things get here? Everything went according to plan, so what went wrong?

There have been so many things that have happened in the past few weeks that he has never had a chance to calm down and think about it, everything is like a torrent, rushing down, and he has not even had time to react before he has come to where he is now. Now that the defeat was decided, he had time to reflect.

His thoughts followed the veins all the way back, and suddenly, Fisher froze, and a terrible thought popped into his mind: hype, that deliberately arranged malicious hype. He revealed the news, let the paparazzi find Chris, and took the initiative to provoke disputes, hoping to increase Chris's exposure, further amplify the effective utilization rate of the "Thor" project, and squeeze out the last drop of residual value. However, things seem to have started to get out of hand since then.

If there were no extraneous branches, and everything went according to plan, would "Thor" have performed better at the box office? If he hadn't done this extra and were content with the status quo, would Chris be in a better position? If he hadn't done more and carried out publicity wholeheartedly, would the victory or defeat of the opening battle have a different look?

As soon as the thought came to him, it was like the sharp teeth of a poisonous snake, biting the veins in his neck fiercely, cold and piercing, and the blood began to flow backwards, and the stiff and sharp stinging sensation suddenly exploded, and then the shame overwhelmed him, and he couldn't breathe at all.

One thought of heaven, one thought of hell.

Just a momentary deviation of thought, just a deviation of the trajectory of a thought, just a momentary deviation of decision, heaven becomes hell. It was so cruel and so cold that my heart stiffened and I couldn't breathe.

"No, it's definitely not!" Fisher bit the tip of his tongue hard, and the smell of blood began to spread, forcibly cutting off all divergent thoughts, and forcibly interrupted his thoughts, "Absolutely not!" Fisher made a categorical conclusion, and the reflection on the question ended there.

What he needs now is not to dwell on the mistakes of the past, but to look to the future and think of solutions.

There was a slight "babbling" sound, and the door of the hotel room was gently pushed open, but it exploded in Fisher's ears like thunder, and he looked up sharply, and then he saw Chris who was hanging down.

Chris pushed open the door of the hotel room, drooping his shoulders and dragging his steps, the effect of gravity on his body seemed to be particularly obvious, every detail of his body language felt the heaviness of the continuous fall, then he walked to the side of the sofa, paused, sat down heavily, and then sighed heavily, the sunny and handsome features were completely cloudy at this time, writing exhaustion in every corner of his cheeks.

A wave of anger rushed to his head, and Fisher stood up suddenly, roaring madly, "My Prince Sol, don't look like a dead man abandoned by your father and betrayed by your brother! You are the actor of Thor, the god of thunder, and half of Hollywood's young actors are envious of your good luck." It's just a premiere box office failure, and you look as if you've just lost your virginity. ”
