Chapter 493: Happy
"So far, this year's best film is "Little Sunshine Beauty", which is humorously expressed in a serious way, and only a little wishful life is the funniest film shown in the cinema. Admittedly, that's not a lot to say, but this little tart is too good to be good. β
BOM.com's film critic Scott Hollerlen's review began with the words, "The happy, creamy interior gives it the value of making a fuss." If someone shoots some core nihilism about moral turpitude at a big cost, or if they get idealistic results and politeness at the end of a vitriolic little sunny beauty contest, it will only taste like a few grains of salt. β¦β¦β
The huge success of "Little Sunshine Beauty" has left people who have doubts about it and about flame movies to say nothing, running movies can sometimes feel like a gamble, and Flame will always be a winner, "Old Friends Are Rich", "Alpha Dog", "Rite of Passage", "Million Killing Game" ...... What about these opening films, the closing films, the Grand Jury Prize winners in the Theatre category, the Grand Jury Prize in the Theatre World Category?
Fox Searchlight, Weinstein, Lionsgate, etc., more and more film companies have clarified their minds, Wang Yang is the "Jeff Ma" in the film industry, more magical than Jeff Ma, he knows the whole situation well, which movie is a really good thing, you can see at a glance that he is the person who understands the film market the most now. If they have any doubts and hesitations next year, they feel that they are not even fools, even if they risk being played by Wang Yang, they will have to fight with the flames to the end, and if they can't fight, they will raise the price.
Thinking that "Crash" and "Brokeback Mountain" were all nominated for Oscar Best Picture, the Weinstein brothers, Jon Philtimmel and others shuddered! And for the studio, the significance of Oscar nominations/awards is the profit of conversion, so the profit of "Little Sunshine Beauty"?
Last year, "Finale" averaged $25,244 and $88,355 in two weeks over eight venues (23.15 million in North America/85.3 million worldwide), and "Little Miss Sunshine" averaged $1 and $87,862 in seven venues, which is also promising. Flame Films is scheduled for a nationwide release on December 15 (about 600 theaters,' and everyone will love Little Miss Sunshine, it's our big plan. Apparently they don't think it's reasonable to think it's a template for "The End of the Race," Wang said, "'Little Sunshine Beauty' is the kind of freak movie where you don't know where its potential is, but it's going to be sweet." ββ
In Yahoo Entertainment's box office report, there was an interview with Flame boss Wang Yang, and in another interview, the recently proud producer Mark Tetotu said: "We are always simplistic as winners and losers, and I think the significance of "Little Sunshine Beauty" is that it tells everyone that the loser is not predestined, it is an American dream in itself." "No one dares to say no, look at how much you regret it now!
"The release of Flame Films has been excellent, and its attitude towards Little Miss Sunshine has always been flattering, and I'm really grateful to Magic Young for paving the way for it. When it comes to distribution, Tetotu thanked the flames a lot, unlike Yari and Bull's Eye, Big Beach Films received 15 million buyout fees + 10% of all income dividends, and he was quite satisfied, because according to the market at the time, this was the highest treatment, no matter what happened now, the flames took risks all the way.
No one knows the specific ambitions of the flames, and no one knows how "Little Sunshine Beauty" will perform in the upcoming awards season, anyway, for three consecutive years, the flames have made significant achievements in independent films, and others are envious.
And also in this week, Warner's 100 million cost CGI animation "Happy Feet" was released, and Sony/Colombia's 150 million cost action film "Casino Royale" was released, which is the 21st James Bond series and the first work of New Bond Daniel Craig 59%/42%/53% of the bad movie decline, but in the table section, it received a basket of rotten tomatoes.
It's all to blame for its promotional techniques to raise the audience's expectations for the plot of the gambling table to the highest, and to blame for "MIT-21-TEAM" to bring the audience's taste to a new level, "Casino Royale's loud and noisy gambling scenes" only have some old-fashioned facial close-ups, nervous eyes, and huge stacks of chips, every time it comes to the gaming table**, the screenwriter and director's handling method is to let Bond bet a few handfuls, and then walk away to trigger other events, and the table that is slowed down ** Completely out of tension, in the post-MIT-21-TEAM era, it looks neither exciting nor cool, neither clear nor tasteless, and simply not worth it.
"It's just a hot action movie, don't expect any great table scenes, no!" Spielberg00 said, and Daryl D said: "Casino Royale has a naΓ―ve approach to gambling, it has the props of a gambling movie, but it doesn't have the determination, it's more pretentious than ingenious." Clarissa S said: "After 'Lucky Player,' I didn't have any faith in the gambling part of any film, unless the director was Fantastic Young. ββ¦β¦
In this regard, many viewers can't be sarcastic enough, but "Casino Royale" is really hot and exciting in the action scenes, the overall rhythm is good, and it is a rare masterpiece, so it is not surprising that it won the weekly championship with 63.26 million. In fact, it's a smart choice to take the tables lightly and focus on the action, otherwise you might get knocked head-on by MIT-21-TEAM.
"Dog, Nini!" "In the morning sun, in the garden, Keke, dressed in a white floral dress, walked happily around the garden, a toddler who was almost two months old, and her fleshy little arms and calves had no problem maintaining balance, and she chased after Danny and slapped it on the head, shouting its name from time to time.
The elderly Danny was still sniffing the grass leisurely at first, but after a few taps on the ear, he slowly became a little reluctant, licked Keke's palm a few times, and then turned away. "Nini!" Keke was having a good time, and immediately chased after him. Although Danny is old, he is still very good at running, Keke chased after him a little faster, and fell to the ground with a "ahh
For a while, Keke pursed her mouth, propped herself up, and continued to chase and bully Danny.
"My little darling, my little darling! It's so big! Oh my God, you miss me. At this time, a voice of surprise suddenly sounded in the direction of the house, "Sweetheart, look who's coming?", "Sweetheart, do you recognize him?" and the laughter of her mother and father, Keke turned her head to look.
I saw a tall man rushing over with a smile on his face, he was holding a cute rabbit rag doll in his hand, as he ran, the doll's ears were swinging, Keke liked that rag doll, but who was this person?
"Oh oh!" Joshua who ran crazy ignored the enthusiastic Danny, and opened his hands to pick up Keke, tomorrow is Thanksgiving, he came to New York to celebrate the holiday together, of course, the main purpose is to visit Keke, I haven't seen her for a long time, this time is to see the current situation through online video, but how can it compare to the current hug? Joshua picked her up with one hand and smiled: "You can talk and walk again, wow-you are incredible, oh my God! I missed too much." β
Keke is not afraid of life, because her parents are smiling, and she remembers that she seems to have seen him, she looked at Jessica: "Mom?" Wang Yang patted Joshua on the shoulder: "He is your Uncle Joshua, Yaya?" Jessica made a two-handed motion of pressing the keyboard, reminding her daughter: "Don't you remember?!" Hearing the computer, Keke immediately opened her round mouth and remembered who it was! She shouted loudly: "Yaya!"
"Wow! you pumpkin pie. Joshua smiled happily, the more he looked at Keke, the more he wanted to dot on her, with big eyes and a small mouth, a pink face, black hair with a messy BOBO head, and long and flowing bangs, which was really cute! He smiled and said, "Tell Yaya, did they bully you? Don't be afraid, I will do justice for you!" Wang Yang and Jessica both laughed, and she said proudly: "Tell him, how much Mom and Dad love you?"
"Love!" she patted herself on the cheek and gave Joshua a flying kiss. Every night when I go to bed, if it's an "independence day" that doesn't tell a story, before leaving the baby's room, the two of them will say "I love you" and give Fei a kiss.
Joshua was so cute that he almost fainted, and the two of them were surprised to open their round eyes, the baby is so good! Wang Yang hurriedly said: "Sweetheart, is there more? Is there more? Do you love Dad?" Jessica naturally did not lag behind, and said busily: "What about Mom, love ββ?" Keke patted his mouth very obediently, and his palm was printed towards them, and the two who were hit took a deep breath intoxicated, their bodies were soft and swaying, as if they were about to fall to the ground, and they hugged each other together, Wang Yang sighed: "The kiss of the century!" Jessica sighed: " Angel's Kiss!"
Joshua looked at the exaggerated appearance of the two, but he didn't feel funny, only full of longing, when he and Ali could ...... like this, "Oh haha!" Keke laughed sweetly, she knew what she was doing right, she was happy to see her parents so happy.
The crowd laughed and teased Keke for a while, and Joshua let go of Coke and the bunny doll and hugged Danny, who was already whining in protest. After so long no see, the baby can talk and walk again, of course we have to play with her for a while, Joshua and her play hide and seek, but with Danny with a treasure nose, and there are not too many obstacles in the garden, Keke can always easily find his hiding place, and there are bursts of warm laughter in the garden.
Ever since finding a consensual horror script called Unrest, Joshua has been actively involved in the production.
"Dead Without Eyes" tells the story of Alison Brandman, a freshman in medicine, who encounters supernatural sensations for the first time in a human anatomy class, followed by a series of terrifying events. Jason Todd Ipson, a 34-year-old surgeon who is now a practicing physician with his wife, enrolled in the USC School of Cinematic Arts in 1999 and directed a short film called "The First Vampire" after graduating until he hit it off with Joshua, one of the directors and producers of "Dead and Blind."
"Dead and Blind" has two production companies: Snoflakes-Films, founded by Joshua, whose name is a memorial to the skiing at the Sundance Film Festival, which he felt had made his decision to make, and Ipson's Asgaard-Entertainment Ipson is a lover of Norse mythology, naming his two children Odin and Thor, and Asgaard (the abode of gods in Norse mythology).
Regarding the theme of the morgue, there were small-budget horror films called Mortuary in 1983 and 2005, but they are all zombie films, and "Dead and Blind" is a psychological horror-based, bloody and disgusting supernatural film, Joshua took a fancy to the fresh perspective of medical students, the horror atmosphere of the scenes of medical school, dissection room, and morgue is very plastic, and the dissected dead body brings suspense plasticity, which is a very good theme.
However, Joshua is not satisfied with the storyline of Ipson's script, many inexplicable and far-fetched places, and the worst thing is that there is no sense of horror, if it is filmed like that, it will definitely not become a climate. Reshaping the script was a must, and he didn't want to worry about everything, so he only arranged for a brief meeting with Ipson, and contacted James Gentle Ray Warner, but they were too busy with "Dead Silence" to participate in the adaptation, and only put forward some opinions and suggestions, similar to Nancy, Richard Kelly, and others.
Although he did not attend on a temporary basis, these characters benefited Ipsen a lot, and countless things that he couldn't learn in USC overwhelmed him, especially Wang Yang made him feel like he was suddenly open, he understood the bright spots of the subject, and knew how to catch them!
When Ipson rewrote the script that made Joshua look OK, the film began to be prepared and filmed, and is now in post-production, with a budget of $1.5 million, and it is scheduled to participate in next year's Sundance Film Festival.
Before the upcoming Thanksgiving, post-production of "The Dead" is in its final stages and is expected to be completed in early December, "I Am Legend" continues to be filmed, and another flame film, "Iron Man", will be completed in November, and "The Story of Hachiko" and "League of Assassins 2" will start filming. "Little Sunshine Beauty" is very majestic, and the next flame film "Deadly Magic" will debut on December 1.
