"Weekend Report: Fans Continue to Sing 'Firefly' Praises, 'Fantastic Four' Die of Flatness" – Boxoffojo;"North American Weekend Box Office Roundup: 'Fireflies' Wins Fourth Week in a Row, 'Fantastic Four' Loses" – Yahoo Entertainment's ...... 'Firefly' continued to perform spectacularly in its fourth weekend, despite a three-day gross of $38.5 million at an average of $10,714 per theater (+50 stores) across 4,125 theaters! It surpassed the 1997 "Titanic" of 28.71 million to set a new record in film history, and defeated the more tired 30.46 million "War of the Worlds" (-53%, 3910 theaters average $7792 per theater), and 33.6 million "Fantastic Four", firmly occupying the championship.

"Fantastic Four", which was scolded as soon as it was released, has become a big laughing stock among media fans in the past few days, and it seems unfair and cruel to judge it and "Firefly" together, but just like "Firefly" VS "War of the Worlds", there are still many people who do it. In particular, all the questions it has been criticized can be answered perfectly in "Firefly", and Richard Roper said in his detailed film review: "One of the big things I like about "Firefly" is that it can make a bad movie like "Fantastic Four" speechless and self-ashamed. ”

However, the first big problem is the way of storytelling, and there are nearly 900 special effects shots in the 100 million production cost of "Fantastic Four", which is naturally not as good as the more than 1,800 in "Firefly", but it is not less, and "District 9" only has more than 800.

The distribution of special effects shots in "District 9" is very even, which continues to stimulate the audience's sensory nerves; The special effects shots of "Fantastic Four" are also very average, but its story content and rhythm are more bland than boiled water, and there is no ** from beginning to end, so that it is better to pile up money and special effects shots in the ** part, at least that can keep the audience awake for more than ten minutes, instead of sleeping for a night.

There are no subtexts, no camera language, and even the soap opera on the screen is almost incomparable. Wesley Morris, a film critic for the Boston Globe, gave it a 1/4 score: "There is no worse adapted screenplay, and it should be hidden for another ten years." I'm curious, Fox is willing to spend even 100 million, why not find a good director? Tim Storey doesn't know what a superhero is, and he made another "Barbershop". ”

"Why does Fox have to find a USC director? And not Wang Yang?" The comic book fans of "Fantastic Four" have been extremely complaining recently, and on the other hand, the fans of Fantastic Young fans are excited! I have already said it! I sent a starring invitation to Jessica Alba, and there is Rachel McAdams, a "traitor", and there is a USC director, which conforms to all the laws of Fantastic Young, and then ......sure enough, "Fantastic Four" will not end well, and Evelyn and other fans left domineering texts on the Internet: " What about the fourth week!Continue to win!1.3 billion box office!"

The first week KO "Batman", the second week KO "Family Fairy Wife", the third week KO "World War", the fourth week KO "Fantastic Four"! The Undertaker "Firefly" is majestic! To this day, who dares to mention what Wang Yang encountered the law of the office building? No one, no one wants to be the next guy to be knocked out.

This weekend, "Firefly" expanded its overseas screening scope, rising to 76 countries and regions, collecting 82.62 million US dollars (-35.4%) in three days, and the total overseas box office rose to 773.2 million, and the global box office in 24 days was 1.3042 billion.

"Dingding-ding-"

In the morning, Toronto ringed a burst of bicycle bells, a beautiful figure on the shore of Lake Ontario rode by the wind on a bicycle, the cool breeze blew her pale golden bangs messy, the scenery was beautiful but she had no intention of appreciating it, she pedaled faster and faster.

It's so bad! Acting in a big bad movie! Rachel vented like crazy stepping on her feet, the seagulls flying and chirping in the sky were so refreshing in the past, but at this time it was very annoying, and sure enough, Wang Yang predicted it correctly, "Fantastic Four" messed up everything! When she was filming on the set, she felt that Tim Storey was simply inexplicable, and actually told her not to have too many facial performances, let alone stimulate her acting skills! Now she can't stop regretting joining this bad movie, not only is it a waste of time, the question is why does it appear in a bad movie? Why not Firefly? Why not 500 Days with Shamo?

Rachel was in a super depressed mood, and after stepping on a long road, she gradually slowed down until she braked, and she looked at the endless blue lake with some gasp, and muttered softly without knowing what to think, "Please, Rachel...... Please......" After a long time, she suddenly took out her mobile phone and pressed a contact, slowly pushing the bicycle forward, and as soon as it was connected, she smiled and said, "Hi, good morning, Jan." ”

At the Flame Film Headquarters in Santa Monica, Los Angeles, Wang Yang had just gone to work because of the time difference, and not long after he came to the office and sat down, he picked up a document and scanned it, smiled at his mobile phone: "Hi, Rachel, good morning, what's wrong?"

As soon as she heard this familiar voice, Rachel suddenly felt a lot better, and the joy born for him and "Firefly" filled her heart again, she said "oh", frowned and shrugged her shoulders, not knowing where to start, she laughed: "It's nothing, it's a bad mood......"

"Because of Fantastic Four?" As early as a few days ago, the two had talked about this in a hurry, and at that time Rachel kept making fun of herself, Wang Yang sighed lightly, you can't have both fish and bear's paws! He comforted her: "Please! It's not your fault, you've performed great, really!" He intended to amuse the girl: "Isn't this our plan?" Rachel over there smiled: "Yes." Wang Yang scratched his head: "Then it's all my fault, I'm sorry, it's my agent who messed up." ”

Rachel guessed what trick he wanted to play, pursed her lips and showed a dimple smile, and said with a smile: "No, no, no, this is my choice!" In fact, my popularity has really risen, I took a look, and there are a lot more people who like me and scold me on the Internet, haha!" You're right, that's our plan, I'm too greedy. ”

"No, Rachel. Saying that, Wang Yang really couldn't help but knock on his head, knowing that Tim Storey's "Fantastic Four" would be a bad movie, and Rachel needed a good movie, not popularity, he apologized: "It's my fault, I didn't figure out your true heart, and I confused you, so that you didn't make a choice according to your heart." Rachel over there laughed, "Come on, Wonder Young, who can confuse me?" she turned to a self-deprecating tone, "Yes! Yes, you count as one...... But. ”

She stopped talking, it seems that she has been really angry in the past few days, there have been a lot of messy emotions, and gradually feel that her heart is back, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, the beautiful scenery of the seagull lake, Rachel laughed and scolded: "I'm just a little angry, damn it!" Wang Yang also laughed and scolded: "Damn! What should I do?" Rachel shrunk her shoulders with her round mouth, as if she was going crazy with his anger, she snorted and laughed: "Haha! What else can I do? I'm fine, look ahead! But I may have a large phobia......"

"That's not good!" Wang Yang interrupted her and said seriously, "Our plan is for you to be able to receive more blockbusters. Rachel reluctantly interrupted him: "Look at you! I just said I did something wrong, okay, don't mention that lost plan! Anyway, I definitely don't want to go the sexy route again, I'm not enough, that's the mistake!" she said in a strange voice: "It's like the one who said 'Rachel McAdams in the tights' told us the fact that she was stunted." ’”

"A little bit. Wang Yang replied with a smile, and Rachel over there immediately sighed: "It's really hurtful." Wang Yang then said seriously: "No, I mean, they should give you Bruce Lee's one, you know, it just fits the effect of transparency and invisibility." ”

Rachel couldn't help laughing, crossing a yellow light is not a violation of traffic rules, unless the moment you cross the line it turns red, but there will still be a lot of people running the yellow light. She was overjoyed, and heard Wang Yang add seriously: "The effect is better with Superman's underwear on the outside, police officer, you will become a rich man." Rachel suddenly laughed even more happily: "Hahaha-" Chat with him for a while, no matter how bad things are, Rachel laughed for a while before panting slightly: "Oh my ...... Thank you, it's okay, it's really okay!"

Wang Yang muttered to himself: "It seems that I can still do a job in costume design, and I can save a lot of money...... Rachel didn't take his words, but suddenly asked: "Yang, is there a role that suits me?" "500 Days with Shamo". She didn't think he was going to misunderstand anything like that, she didn't think they needed to say much about it. Of course Wang Yang really didn't, but he frowned and replied seriously: "Rachel, this movie is from the perspective of the male protagonist, which is only enough to create a heroine, Shamo." ”

"Oh!" Rachel nodded regretfully, her hand pushing the bike silently clenched the handlebars, she looked up at the sky and smiled, "OK, okay...... Jessica is okay lately? We talked a few days ago, and she's very happy. ”

Hearing this topic, Wang Yang immediately grinned, subconsciously adjusted his sitting posture, he supported the desk with his elbows, and leaned back on the back of the chair, while laughing happily: "Yes! She has been so happy lately, "Firefly", and the baby! That guy is busy with the baby every day, let me tell you! She is crazy, and every day she will buy a lot of baby supplies, bottles, clothes, toys...... I asked her, 'What are you going to do with the baby shower in the future?' and she said, 'yes! I think I've bought too much.' 'And then keep buying, who knows what she wants to do, maybe open a baby store, right?'

"Hehe! haha!" Listening to him talking endlessly about Jessica's recent anecdotes and whimsical ideas, what to measure the baby's weight, what to record the changes in the stomach, Rachel couldn't stop laughing, and Wang Yang, who had been talking for a long time, finally laughed: "Oh my God! You say, is she crazy?" Rachel said in a narrow tone: "But how did I hear Jessica say that you are crazy? Monday is worried about the baby's future date, Tuesday is afraid that she is Paris Hilton, Wednesday is afraid of the feasibility of planning "The Princess Diaries" ......"

"Hahaha!" Wang Yang laughed, and when she finished speaking, she smiled: "That was some time ago, what I'm thinking about these days is how to cultivate the baby's interest in basketball? You know that some girls don't like it very much, but I very much hope that in the future, the two fathers and daughters and the family can watch the NBA together, and not support the Los Angeles Lakers!" He raised his voice excitedly: "We are the Golden State Warriors! But Joshua, that bastard! Now I think about how to bring his niece into a Lakers fan all day long." He gritted his teeth: "I won't let it happen!"

Rachel remembered that Jessica had also mentioned it, and was worried that Jan and Joshua would fight, and she couldn't help but feel, "Jesse is really happy." She smiled and said softly as she pushed the cart forward, "When I first met you, Jessica wasn't like that, she was very generous, cheerful and talkative, and sometimes a little restless, but now it's different, she's completely found her life, and she's so absorbed in happiness that she might be dizzy, but no, Jan, I don't think she's crazy." ”

"Yes, thanks, I know. Wang Yang gently kissed the wedding ring on the ring finger of his left hand, and said with a smile: "I often tell her that if you get lost, call 911 or 011819991197253." ”

"Hehe!" Rachel laughed, and the conversation started for a while, and she didn't seem to bother him, so she didn't mean to close the line, and changed the subject, "Young, can you talk about '500 Days with Shamo'? Wang Yang talked to her with great interest: "It's mainly about the discussion of love......

The clock on the wall passed in a minute, the two talked for a long time, and another call came in, Wang Yang said goodbye to Rachel, ended the call, and then connected the agent's call, he quickly said: "I'm afraid it's going to be next time, "500 Days with Shamo" doesn't have a role suitable for her, yes, I'm serious, I still have some things...... Well, bye-bye!" Putting down the phone, Wang Yang exhaled, it's really popular! But in terms of the casting of this film, what he needs to consider most now is, who to invite to play the leading role?

The male protagonist "Tom" is an ordinary man born in the 80s, an immature big boy next door. So those who are too handsome, too tall, and too muscular are the first to be eliminated, and those who are too stupid, too decadent, and too unconfident are also out, in fact, the list of candidates has never been so long, only the two leading actors of "The Evil Girl on the Other Side" Heath Ledger and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, in terms of appearance and temperament, it is undoubtedly the original Joseph who is more suitable for ......". At this time, there was a knock on the office door, and Wang Yang shouted: "Come in!"

"Almighty Assistant" Nancy Lino pushed the door in with a stack of papers and smiled at him: "Jan, you want the information." ”

Magical Jan's energy is too strong, his thinking is too fast, behind the high speed and high productivity is a high workload, and he is the kind of person who is willing to delegate power and encourage his subordinates to do things, so there are many new tasks emerging every day, and she sometimes even feels like she has become Andrea, but fortunately Amazing Young is not the demon boss Miranda, and she does learn too many things, she is enjoying it.

Nancy put the document on the desk, saw Wang Yang nodded, thinking about what not to speak, she left quietly, took a few steps, Wang Yang suddenly called out to her: "Hey, Nancy! I have a question for you." Nancy turned around and asked, "What?" Looking at the fisherman-hat girl, Wang Yang beckoned and asked directly: "Who do you think is more suitable to play Tom, Joseph Gordon-Levitt or Heath Ledger?"

"Hmm......" Nancy rolled her eyes and began to think, her mind was churning with Tom's character setting, as well as the comparison of the two actors, and after thinking for a while, she replied: "I think it's Levitt!" Wang Yang asked, "Why?" Nancy shook her head a little uncertainly: "On the one hand, it's intuition, Tom gives me the feeling that he is the kind of boy with an ordinary body, although Ledger's acting skills can give people more confidence and expectations than Levitt, but he is too tall and his appearance and temperament do not match." ”

She pouted and continued, "On the other hand, Ledger used to be a playboy and is now almost a dad, and Tom is a love idealist, even if Ledger is a genius, I think Levitt can feel the character's mentality better. ”

"Hey, hey, USC graduate, be confident! I'm just an ungraduate. Wang Yang applauded lightly in a funny way, glared at him as encouragement, Nancy smiled, and Wang Yang smiled: "You said it well, I think I have an idea." There's another question, who can sit and she likes to stand like a fool?" Nancy shrugged with a smile, pulled over a chair and sat down, listening to his serious teaching: "Don't forget to consider Tom and Shamo's chemistry, Hiss is a little too fierce and cold, his momentum is naturally strong, but Tom's momentum should be weak, so as to highlight Shamo's coolness and elusiveness even more......"

Time passed day by day, and while Wang Yang was busy with the preparation of "500 Days with Shamo", a new weekend arrived, and July 8-14 came to an end.

"Firefly" ended its fourth week of campaigning, and unsurprisingly maintained its weekend win, beating the new release of "Fantastic Four" to take the North American box office of the week!

Looking at these box office rankings, the media, fans and fans can only sigh that "28 Days of Heyang" can be a big comedy or a big tragedy, it just depends on whether you are a "supporter of "Firefly" or a "supporter of other films".
