Chapter 182: The Hangover is here!
On the TV screen, the symbol of the moth butterfly surrounding the flame flashes, and on the marble floor of the spacious and luxurious bathroom, a large tiger lying on the side of its head growls, it blinks, and then it grows sideways, just like the classic MGM opening animation. Then it suddenly gets up and rushes out of the bathroom with a sleepy-eyed fat Zack, a quick cut of the dentist Ed Helms screaming, and Bradley, the teacher, screaming and being caught by a tiger in the car.
"We can't find Doug. In the desert, Bradley looked at the sky anxiously and said, "This wedding may not be done." The camera pans to the beautiful bride in a wedding dress, looking out of the room through the window with a bouquet of flowers in her hand, all the guests attending the wedding sitting on the benches, many of them looking at the time of their watches with anxious faces.
"Wow !!" On the endless highway, an antique Mercedes-Benz sports car passed by at high speed, and the fat man Zack banged on the car door, smiling and shouting to the little girl: "Vegas, Vegas......" In a blink of an eye, I saw him screaming in pain, his face was full of lightning effects, and his body swayed but did not fall.
The images on the screen began to flash quickly, seemingly relatedly, but unbewilderably, as the four of them walked through the hotel hallway like the gentlemen at the beginning of "Reservoir Dogs", clinking glasses on the rooftop, and suddenly turning back to the car they had just departed, and the fat man asked, "Shall we bring some guns with us?" The teacher, dentist, and groom all looked at him with strange expressions.
At this time, the magnetic narration voice quickly reads: "Directed by Wang Yang, Zach Galife Anakis, Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Matthew Fox, Charlize Theron, Michelle Rodriguez." Are you ready to laugh and cry this Christmas?"
As the sound screen flashes into the thrill of surprise, there are babies in the room, crazy drag racing in the streets, and Michelle beating up the trio...... There are also bursts of screams, and the camera finally stops on Ed Helms's twisted face, who roars with bruises: "What the hell is going on!"
"On December 13th, "The Hangover" will be hilarious all over the world!" the narrator said, and saw a rooster walking slowly in the hotel room, clucking a few times.
This latest TV trailer aired on Thanksgiving Day on November 28th, and countless family viewers in North America were attracted by the hilarious and suspenseful story in it, and couldn't get married? Where did the groom go? What is going on? And the interest of fans has also increased, because the flame movie dared to use "laughing dead" and "laughing tears" as slogans, Fantastic Young never told a lie, "District 9" is just noncommittal.
Thanksgiving Day is also the anniversary of Wang Yang and Jessica's love, the two have walked hand in hand for four years, from teenagers to adults, regardless of body appearance, knowledge and cognition have changed a lot, but the two know that what has not changed is that budding relationship. After spending a Thanksgiving holiday, it's December, and the warm-up week before the Christmas schedule begins.
From December 6th to 12th, there was only a total box office of 105 million in the end, and the new work of the 007 series "Die Another Day" won the championship in the third week, receiving 16.7019 million, and the first week of 2635 theaters released "Boss Side Flash 2" was only 14.3122 million, which was far from Warner Bros. expectations, and the R-rated comedy hit another heavy blow in the Christmas file; in third place was "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" with 12.4102 million, which has received 216 million box office in four weeks.
When the calendar on the wall flipped to the 13th, Friday, the 2002 Christmas schedule officially kicked off, and five films were released on a large scale today.
On a sunny and warm afternoon, the red carpet outside the Sylangor Theater was very lively, and the handsome and beautiful stars in suits and evening dresses were all smiling, posing poss to take pictures with photographers, answering questions from media reporters on both sides of the railing, and waving to enthusiastic fans who shouted their names, it was the premiere of "The Hangover" that was being held.
Today's red carpet can be described as star-studded, in addition to the cast of "The Hangover", there are many guests who came to help, including the new Superman Tom Welling, who will replace Nicolas Cage in "Superman Returns", Robert Downey Jr. in a gray suit, the huge Shaquille O'Neal, Will Smith and his wife, Zachary Levy, Jessica Alba siblings, etc., of course, Joshua is participating as a crew member.
"Jan, today Rachel McAdams starring "Transform into a Spice Girl" is also going to be released. The snapping and clicking of the flashing lights kept coming on, and the reporters on the railing were staring at Wang Yang in a black suit and black tie, and a blonde white woman asked loudly, "What do you have to tell Rachel? Have you talked about it?"
"Well, we've talked about it. Wang Yang nodded and smiled, greeted Charlize Theron, who was passing by in a purple evening dress, and continued to smile: "I told Rachel to wish you good luck, and Rachel also told me to wish you good luck." Another male reporter asked: "Wayne Wong's "Manhattan Cinderella" also premiered today, what do you think?"
Wang Yang was still smiling, muttering in his heart, I can't remember how many times I have answered these questions these days! He replied again: "Wayne Wang is my favorite director, he can always capture those delicate emotions, and his films are very worth savoring." Hearing another boring question, he almost burst out laughing and said, "No, we are not related. ”
At this time, he was slapped on the back, and it was Michelle Rodriguez who was walking by, wearing a black evening gown and holding a handbag, and grinned at the reporters: "Young is a kung fu master! I was almost killed by him on the set." Wang Yang glared in surprise, and hurriedly said, "Wow, don't say that, they really know how to write like that!"
The reporters all laughed, holding a telephoto camera to take a combined photo of him and Michelle, and another black-haired female reporter Mero asked: "Amazing Young, some people say that your "Hangover" is to compensate for everyone's sadness in "District 9"?" Wang Yang laughed: ""The Hangover does make people feel happy." The female reporter then smiled and asked, "How much? Can I really laugh out of tears?"
"I think you'll find out right away. ”
The sky gradually darkened, and the outside of the Sylangor Theater turned from lively to deserted, and all the star reporters, movie fans and audiences stepped into the theater to prepare to watch the premiere. The screening halls of 2,875 theaters in North America, although not all of them are full, there are not many vacant seats, after all, Mr. Magic still maintains a 100% reputation as a good film.
"I'm sorry, let's, let's. Natalie, holding a large bucket of popcorn, walked into a row of seats, and the audience shrank out with their feet outstretched, and no one noticed who she was in the dim light. Natalie came to an empty chair and sat down, she looked at the trailer of "Mr. Hughes" on the big screen, and the mustachioed Kim Carrey was very serious. She grabbed a handful of popcorn and stuffed it into her mouth, smiling all over her face, muttering expectantly, "I just like, pee, fart, don't get Juno!"
Also looking at the big screen is Rachel in Los Angeles, "Spice Girls" did not have a premiere, and the screening room next to it was about to be screened, but she had already seen it, and this is the hall of "The Hangover". She looked at the crowd around her, listened to the low humming conversation, and couldn't help but smile and shake her head.
When she was queuing up to buy tickets just now, she noticed that 6 out of 10 people bought "The Hangover", and she really didn't understand why some media predicted that it would not win the box office championship this week? Of course, she hoped that "The Hangover" would have a magical result, and that "Transforming into a Spice Girl" could take a good bite of it, which must be fun.
Thinking of this, Rachel couldn't help but smile, listening to the conversation of the audience around her: "I've watched five movies of Magic Yang, and today is the sixth, I hope he can't let me down." "The latest trailer is very attractive......" She faintly heard a laugh again: "Rachel, even if you become box office poison, don't worry! I won't give up on you." Good luck!"
"Good luck, Fabulous Jan!" she pursed her lips, two dimples slightly revealing on her cheeks.
After a while, I saw that the big screen was black again, and the audience in the screening halls of 2,875 theaters slowly quieted down, and the screening was about to begin. Natalie, Rachel and the others all adjusted their seating positions, and fans watching from all over North America seemed to lick their lips and prepare for a big meal to continue their adventure to see the magical Evelyn and the girl Alice family...... Of course, there are also everyone in the screening hall of the Shellan Theater, well-known film critics, media reporters, relatives, guests and friends who have not participated in the test screening; and the main creators of the "Hangover" crew sitting in the front row, whether they have seen it or not, are very excited, Michelle curls the corners of his mouth, Zach and other foursome are very nervously whispering; Harry George, who is wearing an oversized black suit, is nervous and restless, moving his big ass around, muttering: "Dude, dude, oh God......"
"Master, I want to ask you a question?" Jessica, who was dressed in a white evening dress and had her hair coiled, smiled, Wang Yang, who was sitting in the middle, turned his head to look at her and said with a smile: "Ah Cai, ask." Jessica suddenly became serious, glared at him with closed eyes, and asked, "You didn't do what you did in the movie that day, did you?" ”
Wang Yang suddenly rolled his eyes, glanced at Tom Welling and his wife, Zachary over there, and Joshua, who was already smirking before he even saw it, and muttered, "It's too classic." Jessica raised her eyebrows in confusion, and when she saw that he was about to answer, she raised her hand and smiled, "Wait! Wang Yang clenched his fists and smiled: "Master obeys." The two smiled and turned their heads to look at the big screen.
"Hahaha-"
Less than two minutes into the show, there was a burst of laughter in the Shoreline Theater, the same thing happening in theaters across North America, and then a chuckle soon after. They all found that their faces were actually smiling, and as soon as their facial muscles were about to loosen and their mouths were about to close, they suddenly laughed uncontrollably, some chuckled, others laughed so hard that their shoulders shook, and even made bellows-like gasping sounds.
The big screen story moves forward with laughter, the boys arrive in Las Vegas and check into the Caesars Palace Hotel, and after a night of partying, the presidential suite has a tiger rooster and a baby but no Doug, and the three realize that something is wrong and embark on a crazy journey to find Doug.
Amid the thrilling music, a police car on the screen is rampage through the streets in a panic, followed by the gangster's car, and the trio screams "ahhhhhhh A wedding is taking place on the lawn of the chapel when a speeding police car suddenly flies over and disrupts everything. When out of danger. In the car, Ed pulled his neck and blushed with excitement, and roared in a hoarse voice, "What the fuck is going on-!!"
"Haha!" Evelyn covered her mouth with her hands in her eyes and blushed with laughter in the dimly lit screening room, "Oh, God...... Haha...... "She believed that Wonder Young and The Hangover would be funny, but she never thought it would be so great! Less than halfway through the movie, she laughed more than all the comedies she watched this year."
The good sister Kelly who was sitting next to her also smiled and the corners of her mouth twitched, but when she saw Evelyn's breathless appearance, she knew that this guy's reaction was several times more exaggerated than that of normal people, and she couldn't help asking: "Eve, are you okay?" Evelyn wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with trembling fingers, and smiled: "I don't know, I really don't know, maybe I'll die laughing." Wha-"
I saw two policemen on the big screen suddenly break down the door, pointed their pistols at Charlize Theron and others in the trio in the room, and shouted nervously: "Don't move, don't move!" On the sofa, Zack, Bradley, and Ed all raised their hands and leaned back, staring at them in fear, Bradley shouted: "God! Don't shoot! I'm a teacher!" Zach exhaled repeatedly: "I don't have a gun, I don't have a gun!"
Seeing this sudden change, there were not a few people in the entire screening room who were laughing like Evelyn, and Kelly herself was suddenly out of breath with joy, no matter what, it should be okay this time, right? But compared to the dead silence in "District 9", it is simply ...... She looked at the smiling audience around her, and gave a secret thumbs up, "Fantastic Young is using magic again! he's Harry Potter, right?"
It didn't take long for 2,875 theaters and the Shoreline Theater to burst into even more crazy laughter. In the police station, in the sound of psychological suspenseful classical music, in slow motion, the little fat man got up with a hateful face and walked towards the stunned big fat Zack, followed by electric shock, lightning special effects...... The fat man was eventually electrocuted, and the camera focused on his round eyes. The audience's voices laughed louder and louder, and the decibel level set a new record for the night.
"Doug!" Out of the police station, in the open space next to the highway, the trio happily opened the trunk of the sports car, Michelle, who was only in underwear, jumped out nimbly, she smacked a whirlwind leg, kicked Bradley in the middle of the air, and dealt with Ed next to him in a few clicks, she walked slowly towards the fat man with fierce eyes and clenched fists, and sneered: "You want to fuck me?"
"Nobody wants to you, nobody!" The fat man stepped back again and again with a frightened face, leaning short and outstretching a hand, begging for mercy, "We're in a gang, we're in a gang, I hate Angelina Jolie, I hate her!" He swallowed hard, his voice trembled, "It's not your fault, I always thought this was Santa Monica, I'll get you clothes......"
When the audience was laughing and their stomachs were cramping, they suddenly screamed again, only to see Michelle, who was rampaging on the screen, holding up the fat man with both hands, spun around a few times like a strong man, and smashed the screaming Zack to the front, and the fat man fell to the ground "Peng", screaming sullenly. Michelle looked at the three people on the ground in pain and asked, "Nobody wants to ** me? no one?**-you!"
"Humph!" she wiped her nose with her thumb like Bruce Lee, kicked the Mercedes sports car again, and the door suddenly collapsed into it, and she said "a bunch of idiots" and walked away.
The decibel level of laughter once again set a new record, and many of the audience members in formal clothes in the Shenlan Theater laughed without any manners, and some people in the critics' seats were a little unhappy. Michelle Rodriguez in the front row couldn't stop laughing, Zach and others on both sides laughed and gave her a thumbs up, Michelle was a little puzzled, how could she be so funny?
"Jan, actually, I can play this role too. Jessica leaned into Wang Yang's ear, and her tone was quite unwilling. Wang Yang looked at her face, shook his head and smiled: "You are too beautiful, not enough for the arrogance of this character." Jessica gritted her teeth and glared at him, and said in a suppressed voice: "Don't you say I'm too ugly?" Wang Yang nodded and said, "Okay, tonight." Jessica couldn't help but smile and scolded: "**." Wang Yang smiled: "Tonight." ”
"It's unbelievable that I can act like this. Michelle looked at Wang Yang, who was talking to Jessica, who had worked with directors such as Carion Kusama, Rob Cohen, and Paul Anderson, "Girls Punch", "Fast and Furious", "Resident Evil", ...... The best director is Wang Yang, who is two years younger than her, he knows how to control the set, he has a gentle but strict temper, makes you feel happy and will try to meet his requirements, and he always has a way to let you go, completely change your attitude in your heart, and then act very devotedly and comfortably! Thinking of this, Michelle smacked her lips with emotion and smiled in her heart: "Amazing Yang!"
The story on the big screen continues, the laughter continues, and O'Neal's hilarious appearance has caused many fans and viewers to go crazy again, and the trio must find a way to transport the tiger back to O'Neal's estate.
"Oh my God. Seeing this latest picture, Hans hurriedly reached out to cover the eyes of his 12-year-old daughter Alice, frowned and said, "You can't see this." Alice flicked his hand helplessly, and secretly said angrily, "Uh-uh, as if I didn't know." On the other side, Martha also covered her daughter's ears, but she kept laughing.
"Look, guys, I'm ** Tiger!" In the black-and-white surveillance footage, Bradley arched at the tiger's buttocks, and the three people who were also drunk next to him fell crookedly and laughed, Bradley continued to arch and laughed madly: "Oh, oh, oh!"
"Poof!" Natalie saw this scene, and the popcorn she had just put in her mouth suddenly squirted out, she pounded her thighs, coughed and laughed wildly: "Hahaha......ha What's fun? That's fun! Hahaha-" The whole screening room couldn't stop laughing, and she looked excitedly at an audience member on her right, and laughed, "Man, this is fun! It's stupid!"
There were old-fashioned and vulgar shit and pee fart scenes such as showing your buttocks, the baby peeing on a fat face, etc., but with the music, the details before and after, and those demeanors, it can make people laugh and cry! She suddenly remembered a message she saw on Wang Yang's blog: "My exposed ass will be different!" She then thought evilly: "It's funnier to show off his ass!"
"Natalie Portman?!" the white boy next to him was surprised, as if he had just discovered that she looked a lot like Juno. Natalie glanced at him and said in a shrill voice, "Is she as pretty as I am?" and the screen was laughing again, and she burst into laughter again, filling her seat with snacks from the popcorn bucket that had fallen on her lap.
The white boy looked at her suspiciously, it was obviously Natalie Portman's appearance, it must be her! But Natalie was like this? He suddenly wondered, did he really recognize the wrong person?
"Tomorrow morning before nine o'clock, take the money to the Mojave Desert Big Stone and wait, if the time is over, ......" On the big screen, on the black Hummer SUV, Michelle Rodriguez, dressed in black leather clothes, looked at Bradley and the others outside the window, and hissed: "You are all dead! bitch!" Before Bradley could react, the car window slowly rose, and Michelle raised a middle finger as the window rose.
In order to win enough money to redeem Doug, the trio decided to go to the casino and play blackjack by card counting. In the tense and fast tenor "oh oh oh" shouts and the shocking soundtrack of Dong Dongdong, on the escalator of the hotel, Bradley and Zach stood side by side in white suits, Zack clasped his hands and looked demented, Bradley was silent, and the elevator slowly fell.
"Aha-haha-" Many older audience members and veteran fans in the screening hall burst out laughing, while some others felt a little inexplicable, this part is not going to laugh like this, right? Seeing her friend sweating profusely with laughter, Kelly asked, "Eve, what's so funny here?" Evelyn laughed intermittently: "Rain Man! You haven't seen Rain Man? Haha, it's so funny!"
The soundtrack and camera techniques of the whole scene are a spoof of "Rain Man", and Bradley and Zach imitate Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman vividly, but it becomes a hilarious effect when placed here. Viewers who have watched and remember "Rain Man" are about to go crazy with laughter, but those who haven't seen it just think it's fun and don't fully feel the joke.
At the table, the fat Zack still looked demented, his lips were silently moving, the number symbols kept rising around him, and the chips were piled higher and higher. Bradley pushed out a large pile of chips, pointed at the dealer, and shouted to the people around him: "Please, everyone, he can't afford to lose, he can't afford to lose!"
Dressed like an upper-class businessman, Ed confidently said to the dealer, "I don't know who you are, but I'm going to say you're finished." A black-haired Asian man next to him also gambled and pushed out the chips, and said excitedly: "**, I'm following!"
Seeing himself on the screen, Wang Yang immediately smiled, in fact, it is impossible to win money by sitting at a table and counting cards like this, but it does not prevent "Rain Man" from becoming a classic, nor does it prevent "The Hangover" from being funny, as for the real professional card counting, it is still left to "mit-21-team"! Jessica next to him patted his hand, shook his head and smiled: "Yang, you are so cool, you don't have the temperament of a gambler." Wang Yang shrugged and smiled, "Thank you." ”
The shouts and clanging continued, and the fat man's expression was faint, and he glanced into the distance, only to see that there was a large roulette wheel, and he pressed his palm on the cards on the table, and muttered, "20 o'clock." The dealer sent another card and it was 10+J, and the audience in the dim screening room laughed again, many people had to wipe their tears, and the big roulette wheel and 20 points were still a spoof of "Rain Man".
"Haha!" Rachel laughed so hard that she almost drooled. A few days ago, she watched "Turning into a Spice Girl" and laughed less than one-third of "The Hangover", but the problem was not that, because the number of times "The Hangover" was much, much higher than that of any comedy.
The problem is that after watching this film, she looks back and thinks about the jokes of "Transforming into a Hot Girl", why is it not so funny...... On the big screen, Mercedes sports cars drive in the desert, which also gives the audience a chance to take a facial break. Rachel pursed her lips with a smile, she was very happy for Wang Yang, and she was also a little helpless: "I'm going to mess up this time!" The only fortunate thing is that she wants to mess up not only "Transforming into a Hot Girl" this time, but other comedies in the Christmas schedule will be twisted into pieces by "The Hangover".
She couldn't imagine that there would be a funnier movie this year than the gang in front of her?
"How could it not be funny?" said Betsy Sharkey, a film critic at the Syranchean Theater and a columnist for the Los Angeles Times, who also felt tired on her cheeks and had to massage them. It's a stupid and perverse story, exaggerated and funny, but if it's not funny, what movie is funny? And for Magical Young, she can only describe it as crazy, in less than half a year, he makes people feel uncomfortable with their hearts and laugh until their stomachs twitch...... Incredible!
