Chapter 183: This Is What I Call Comedy!
"Doug! Doug!" On the big screen, on the yellow sand of the Mojave Desert, a fierce bald muscular man pulled out a man with his hands tied and hooded from the Humvee, and the three of them immediately shouted excitedly. Michelle, dressed in black leather, stood in front of the Humvee with her hands on her chest, sunglasses on her forehead and a toothpick in her mouth.
The audience in the seats already had a hint of wanting to laugh, and then they saw Michelle nudge Doug rudely and said in a deep voice: "You have two choices, give me the money and the people will be yours, or ......" She took the toothpick from her mouth, took a sip, pointed the toothpick at the trio, and said, "I'll kill you bitches, and then the money will be mine." β
As she spoke, the two muscular men on the left and right next to her pulled out their pistols and aimed them at the trio standing in front of the Mercedes.
"Oh, take it easy, Miss Miller!" the trio raised their hands in fear, and Fat Zack said in an unconvinced tone, "I said I was going to bring a gun, this is Sin City." Bradley hurriedly shouted, "Stu, Stu, give her the money!" Eddard, who was wearing broken glasses, helplessly threw the money bag over and said, "You can release the person now, right?"
The audience was about to burst out laughing, when Michelle agreed to let him go, and the bald muscular man removed the white hood from Doug's head, and the three of them immediately screamed "oh" like hell, and the screening room erupted in a loud burst of laughter: "Hahaha-" Who doesn't know the guy on the screen with his mouth covered in black tape? Will Smith!
They finally know what Will Smith's cameo is, Doug?
"Who the fuck is this guy!?We want Doug, Doug!" Bradley was furious, and Michelle scratched his forehead a little confused, and said, "What kind of shit are you talking about? Isn't he Doug?" Ed roared, "We want a white man!"
"Haha, that's none of my business. Michelle laughed disdainfully, snapped her fingers twice, and the muscular man over there tore off Will Smith's tape, and after Will "O" was in pain, he quickly scolded: "**, **, **, **......! I told you you caught the wrong person! Big breasted chick! Alan! What the hell are you doing! I've been locked in the car for a day, and I almost scared me to death, what the fuck is going on!?"
Listening to Will Smith's rapping voice, the laughter in the 2875 theaters and the Shores theater throughout North America is getting louder and louder, Will's vulgar and funny image makes the audience feel very fresh, it turns out that Will who is good at playing cool and handsome and "Chris Garnard" still has this side! Many people laughed so much that they couldn't make a sound, only their stomachs kept rising and falling violently, and they had entered the uncomfortable range.
"Where's Doug?Where's Doug!?" ...... "Man, I'm Doug!" ...... "I thought you were Will Smith!" ...... "Yes man, a lot of people say I look a lot like him, but he's not as handsome, cool, and temperamental as I am, and, see? He doesn't have my pretty mole." ...... "Who cares about you stinking shit!"
"Ahh......h cough!" Evelyn's face was red as if she had been burned by fire, her eyes were full of smiles, but she coughed hard, why can she be so funny! Kelly, who was too busy next to her, bit her lip with a smile, reached out to help Evelyn stroke her back, and said with a smile: "Next time I don't watch magic with you, I will give away a horror movie for any movie I watch, I can't stand it!" Evelyn coughed and laughed: "It's okay, oh God......"
There was another burst of laughter in the screening room, and Bradley shouted at the Michelle gang who were leaving, "Hey, Miller! He's not the Doug we want, give us Doug! You can't just leave like this, you take this shit back and give us the money back!"
Michelle turned to look at him, laughed slowly, bent over with a smile, nodded and said, "Oh, I'll take him back, and I'll give you the money!" But why don't you taste my balls first?......" she said, jerking off with her right hand in front of her crotch, squirting a few times, and mimicking: "Fuck you little idiots." β
"Haha......" Natalie slapped her thigh, and the audience around her almost fainted with laughter, and countless people's eyes secreted tears uncontrollably, and many people covered their mouths with disgusted smiles, which is really vulgar! After this paragraph, most people's laughter tonight has reached the limit, and it is difficult to make their facial muscles twitch wildly if there is any laughing point in the future.
The trio on the big screen finally found Doug, and they left Las Vegas as fast as they could, rushing back to Los Angeles for their wedding. In the final wedding scene, the audience continued to chuckle with joy, and they saw a lot of guest stars, Chaplin-style band frontman Robert Downey Jr., guests Tom Welling and his wife, Zachary Levy, Jessica Alba...... After the dentist broke out and dumped his girlfriend, the teacher's family reunited, Doug completed the wedding, etc., in the evening, the four of them were fighting for the digital camera that recorded their crazy night, Matthew Fox looked at them left and right, and smiled: "Let's watch it together, just once, delete all the photos after reading, OK?" Ed said: "Why don't you delete it now?" Bradley scolded: "If you don't want to see it, get out, I still need to know how I ended up in the hospital." Zach laughed, "Yes, there is." β
"Guys, just once!" "Matthew held up the digital camera, and the other three nodded, "It's settled." Accompanied by the light electronic sound like playing Pac-Man, the four of them came to the screen of the camera, Matthew pressed it to play, and the four of them bounced away in surprise, covering their mouths and shouting "Oh my God......" The fat man laughed and shouted, "It's so classic!"
"Wow-wow!" A burst of loud laughter and applause suddenly erupted in the Xuelan Theater, covering the film's end credits, and fans kept clapping their hands, and many people laughed and shouted: "It's so classic!", "It's so funny!" A beautifully dressed white girl stood up and shouted excitedly: "Amazing Yang! You're so cool!" More and more viewers got up with a smile, and their voices were already a little hoarse: "It's so beautiful!", "Cool!"
Most of the critics were smiling, and many pouted slightly, and Liam Lacey, who wrote for The Globe and Mail, was one of them, and he did laugh several times, but the film didn't make any sense, and it was so barbaric and unreasonable, it didn't keep the laughter at all, what the hell is wrong with these people? USA Today columnist Claudia Yapuger continues to stare at the screen with interest, if "The Hangover" is meant to be a hilarious movie, then it does it, and that's enough.
So no one left their seats in the screening room where "The Hangover" was shown, and everyone looked at the static pictures on the left side of the credits with relish, and the chuckle continued, which clearly showed the process of the boy's crazy night out, gambling with Michelle and others at the casino, dancing with strippers at farewell bachelorette parties, and pulling out their teeth with tongs at dentists...... In the midst of laughter, the 125-minute film ended with the credits, and when the flame movie logo was shown on the big screen, and then returned to black and ready to play the trailers of other films, the audience got up and left with a smile, and the screening room was filled with lively buzzing conversations, and reminiscing about the wonderful haha in the film just now, everyone had a light or thick smile on their faces.
"It was amazing, I almost died laughing. "I forgive Magic Young, this Christmas present is good!", "You won't say that, haha!" Listening to the laughter and chatter of the audience around her, Natalie laughed like Wang Yang Wakaka in the film just now, stirred the scattered popcorn back into the bucket, and laughed and muttered, "Fucking Amazing Jan, why didn't you invite me to make a cameo?"
"Amazing Young is right, the plot is kept secret to be good, Will Smith is too good there!", "It's definitely worth cherishing, I heard there will be more photos in the DVD, and Amazing Young's kung fu." β
"You know I'm very surprised now, he can be vulgar like this, Hollywood is such a director......" The aisle next to the audience walked by one after another, and Rachel, who was smiling, took out her mobile phone, pressed a text message to Wang Yang, and sent it: "Congratulations! You are very funny, you will become a big star! But I want to finish! You are not allowed to laugh at the box office of "Transform into a Spice Girl". β
In the theater ticket hall decorated with a Christmas atmosphere, Claire, Janet and a few others walked outside laughing and talking, Claire smiled: "I decided to watch it again next week, I want to laugh when I think about it, I want to see the part where the fat man was electrified." Janet smiled and replied, "One day, I want to watch it again, but I want to accompany Bruce again...... Claire waved her hand and said, "Ok, okay, he likes Magic Young too, right?"
There was thunderous applause in the Shenandan Theater, and the audience expressed their love for "The Hangover" to the fullest, and gave their praise to all the crew. Bradley, Zach, Michelle, Charlize Theron and other leading actors in the front row are all smiling happily, and the faces of Harry George, David Lawrence and other main creative staff are also flashing with excitement, and these applause is the best commendation.
Tom Welling clapped his hands vigorously and whistled a few times happily, and Jamie White next to him suddenly frowned slightly, and asked with a smile: "Honey, you didn't do these things that day, did you?" Tom Welling was stunned for a moment, and said in the lines of "Hangover": "The matter of Vegas will be left in Vegas, right?" Seeing her unkind face, she hurriedly said: "No! No, no." Jan is a madman, everyone else is normal. β
Faced with his girlfriend Erin's questioning, Zachary looked surprised and denied it repeatedly: "No, how could it be! It's just playing at 21 o'clock, or Yang playing......"
"Alright, Magic Jan, you can tell. Jessica patted Wang Yang's thigh, smiling sweetly. Wang Yang looked at her with a serious expression, and suddenly smiled: "It's too classic." Jessica wondered, "What?" Wang Yang grabbed her hand and kissed it, and said with a smile: "It's too classic!"
On December 13th, 5 movies were released, and after this Friday night, the movie with the most views and ratings on the IMDB website was "The Hangover", with 731,568 users participating in the rating, the main page score was as high as 8.5, and the TOP250 score was 8.4, which is simply a crazy and unprecedented score for an R-rated comedy, and its popularity is undoubted except for the power of "idol director".
Now the comedy genre films ranked ahead of it on IMDB are only "Forrest Gump", "City Lights", and "Dr. Strangelove" with a score of 8.6, "Modern Times" with a score of 8.5, and "Angel Amelie" with a score of 8.4...... But these are either old Chaplin films, biographies or science fiction, and if it is said that since the 80s and 90s, if it is a vulgar and noisy R-rated comedy, "The Hangover" has stood at the top.
User Stewart commented: "I've never laughed so hard in my experience of watching R-rated comedy, it's a great comedy masterpiece, and I love it more than District 9." This comment garnered a lot of support and responses, with Gray-E writing: "Forgive me for my selfishness, I wish Fantastic Young would make more comedy films and be a hilarious director instead of a guy who pleases the Oscars." Connie, the girl's portrait, then wrote: "Jan is the kind of person who is vulgar and profound. ββ¦β¦ Fans of Amazing Young are excited to scream again, two movies a year, completely two extremes, both of which are great classics!
Evelyn's blog reads: "I almost choked with laughter, I just vomited a few months ago from watching District 9, two of the most memorable things of the year!" Elard said, "If anyone doesn't let Fantastic Young be nominated for Best Director, be careful!" Kayla: "The sixth film continues to be magical, he's 22 years old!" ...... The love of movie fans is also reflected on Rotten Tomatoes, the audience likes it as high as 95%, and the comments are full of words such as "laughing to death", "laughing tears", "the best this year", etc., but many film critics have different opinions, Rotten Tomatoes includes 150 film reviews, 105 are fresh, 45 are rotten, the freshness of popular film reviews is only 70%, and the well-known film critics are 75%, and the Metacritic website has a score of 80.
Apparently those critics felt that "The Hangover" was not even a good movie, let alone a classic movie, and Michael Phillip, a film critic at the Chicago Tribune, commented: "The film smells like a disaster, it's all vulgar stuff." From 'Juno' to 'The Hangover,' maybe Wonder Young has grown up?" The New York Times' Adam Nadi wrote: "Fools, whores, shrews, stupid, vulgar, foul-mouthed...... They're boring. Mr. Fantastic, have you had enough?"
In addition to not appreciating the story and jokes of the movie itself, the "personal attack" is one of the main reasons why those film critics smashed Rotten Tomatoes, and they have expressed their disappointment with Wang Yang. Pam Robinson's review on Filmcritic does a good job of understanding why: "You see a new Steven Spielberg going to be born, maybe more, but he's suddenly going to make a movie." What are you going to do with him?"
The reason why they are angry is, firstly, "watching Wonder Young grow up", from 18 to 22 years old, seeing a thriving director suddenly become a lost youth, from human nature to, pee, and fart, and even more angry is that a few months ago, they themselves just said that "Amazing Young is the great hope of the director of the earth", the kind of person who can be pulled into space to compete with aliens in a few years, and now he is happy to play stupid shows.
No one says that big directors can't make commercial films, they can't make comedies, but can Steven Spielberg play, can Robert Zemeckis play, can James Cameron play, can Michael Bay, who specializes in commercial films, play?...... So they were all a little heartbroken, and Richard Bruns of the San Francisco News lamented, "He's only 22 years old after all, the age when he was messing around in college." β
"'District 9' and 'The Hangover' add up to more than three hundred words that start with F, the former shocks your heart, and the latter makes no sense. β
However, the 105 fresh film reviews still represent the mainstream voice, and these film critics stand in the camp of "laughing to death" and enjoy a feast of joy like ordinary movie fans. As for what kind of animal Miraculous Yang will evolve into in the future, they have no worries, on the contrary, there are many voices full of anticipation and happy praise.
Betsy Sharkey of the Los Angeles Times wrote: "Stupid and hilarious. With Wonder Young, you can never label him with one style unless it's called incredible. Wilson Morales of Blackfilm commented: "The Hangover is an outrageous, entertaining, laugh-to-finish classic. Good play, young man!" The Hollywood Reporter's Jeffrey Nick commented: "Vulgar, debauched and stupid, but it is destined to be a comedy classic, one of the funniest films." β
"I understand that this is a farce created by Magical Young in order to release his repression after "District 9", and the vulgarity reveals humor, laughing until you have a headache. βKurt Williams, The Washington Post; If anyone can't find the joy of this movie, then he's the Amish Elder, the baby, Wiggels, who lives in the 10th arrondissement. You're not them, but you're not laughing? βKimberly Gidtaner, Independent Cinema; If you want to be stupid, you have to pretend to be smart, if you want to be vulgar, you have to have humor, and that is the charm of this carnival. βMargaret Leighton, Newsday...... And Roger Albert, the most popular film critic in the United States and a die-hard fan of Miracle Yang, also published a film review in the "Chicago Sun" for the first time, and his review text was full of admiration and love for "The Hangover": "This is what I call comedy! Basically, you don't have time to rest, from the beginning to the end, even the cast and crew subtitles you want to watch it, this situation is also in "When Happiness Knocks on the Door". β
"The plot is funny, the scenes are funny, the lines are funny, everything is almost perfect!" said the old man, who almost didn't call it a movie that "puts the Christmas file to shame," and finally wrote: "I am very satisfied with this Christmas present!
As a commercial comedy, the factor for fans and audiences to consider whether to watch is more the audience's liking than the freshness of the discerning film critics, not to mention that the freshness of the well-known film reviews of "The Hangover" is 75%? On the first weekend of the Christmas schedule, countless audiences who want to watch movies poured into the cinema, who will choose the 5 new films and 4 comedies? After the age of 17, the unrestricted audience almost all said to the ticket seller: "Give me a ticket for "The Hangover". β
In the midst of the excitement, the weekend of December 13-15 ended with the clinking Christmas songs, and the hilarious "Hangover" topped the list with or without suspense, winning the weekend championship with an absolute advantage. It was released in 2,875 theaters, and it received a total of 55.73 million box office in three days! This also became the new first for the best opening result of an R-rated comedy, breaking the previous record of 45.11 million for "American Pie 2", which was released in the summer vacation.
And this weekend's top-12-total (top 12 total) is 107 million, "The Hangover" alone accounts for more than 50%, and the other 11 films divide the other half, including 4 new films, all of which are mercilessly twisted into pieces by "The Hangover".
In second place is "Manhattan Cinderella" directed by Wang Ying, 2838 theaters only received 10.71 million, and its evaluation reputation was a comprehensive failure, in the 105 reviews included in Rotten Tomatoes, the freshness of well-known film critics was 31%, and the audience's liking was 53%, and the old-fashioned and outdated story became the main reason for its criticism; the third place was "Star Trek: Nemesis" released in 2711 theaters, which swept away 10.51 million box office.
and "Transforming into a Spice Girl" with 2,217 theaters ranked fourth, with a box office of 8.4011 million, but the terrible thing is that its popular film review freshness is only 21%, except for the actors' performances, almost everything is said to be bad, but with Rachel McAdams's popularity and those jokes, the audience likes it by 70%. Yahoo's weekend box office review read: "If there is a showdown, Rachel is completely defeated by Wonder Young, which is indeed expected." β
Another comedy "Drum Hotline", which was newly released in 1,836 theaters, ranked fifth with a score of 6.26 million, followed by "Die Another Day" with 4.31 million, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" with 3.2 million, and the R-rated comedy "Boss Flashing 2" in the second week of screening with 2.46 million...... The cake of the comedy market was fully captured by "The Hangover", and its strength made everyone who doubted it shut up, and the box office review list described this weekend's winner as: "A pure box office bomb of Miraculous Young, all the audience is laughing, and the whole comedy world is trembling with fear!"
Although it is almost the Christmas holiday, the editorial office of the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times is still busy, Emma Sgeck sitting in the rotating chair looks at the computer screen, her hands on the keyboard and quickly taps, but she didn't expect her prediction to be successful, "The Hangover" and Fantastic Young are like a lion rushing into the flock, tearing up four comedies, and now there is only one "Personal Lover" left, can it stop the pace of "The Hangover"?
She smiled and shook her head, thinking to herself, "The highest-grossing R-rated comedy of all time, the highest-grossing Las Vegas travelogue movie?" β
"Are you smiling?" asked Emma-Sgoker with a smile again, laughing to tears anyway. David Klein, who was walking away, replied, "Of course! I'm an earthling, not a shrimp worm person. β
