Chapter 276: What Reaction Did We Go?
In the dark of night, it was like daytime New York, a new day of midnight screening in the movie theater, the North American box office of "The Devil Wears Prada" was increasing little by little, Manhattan, the elegant bedroom of the hotel suite, Jessica on the bed tossed and turned, had been lying for a long time, thinking a lot and seemed to have fallen asleep, but she didn't think that she was actually asleep, she opened her eyes and called softly: "Young, are you asleep? I can't sleep." ”
Wang Yang, who had already fallen asleep sweetly next to the pillow, did not react at all, only breathed steadily and long: "Whew......"
Remembering the repercussions of "TDP" again, Jessica finally couldn't help it, rolled her eyes and smiled at the corners of her mouth, then lifted the quilt and got out of bed with great interest, put on her coat and sat down at the computer desk. Every time Wang Yang's movie is released, Jessica will have this excitement and anticipation for the film's response results, and "Ghost Shadow", "Youth Musical", "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", and "District 9" are especially so, just like now, unable to sleep.
However, in the past five years, with one amazing success after another, and countless praises again and again, in these harvest seasons, not only Wang Yang's excitement has diluted a lot, but Jessica's nervousness has almost disappeared.
"Wow!8.0 points!" The computer screen shows the IMDB page of "TDP", 8.0/10 points, 50,416 rating users, Jessica is full of happy smiles, the box office is not known for the time being, but IMDB has 8 points! Starting from "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", Jan has 5 consecutive movies with an IMDB score of no less than 8.0, which is a super high score, "TDP" will be the sixth in a row, right?
"Hmm...... Jessica?" At this time, Wang Yang, who turned around, hugged the air, woke up hazy, half-open sleepy eyes and wondered: "What are you doing?" Jessica turned her head to look at him and happily reported the good news: "I'm watching the reaction of "Devil", IMDB has 8 points. The light in the bedroom was dim, but the computer screen was emitting a strong light, looking at her long hair messy, Wang Yang couldn't help laughing: "Look at it tomorrow, OK? I'm going to sleep with you in my arms...... And you give me the feeling of "Ghost Record" now, I'm so scared......"
"Ahhh Wang Yang knew that she wouldn't sleep without being satisfied, and this was not the first time, so he closed his eyes and said, "OK, don't make it too late, I'm really scared." ”
Opening Yahoo Entertainment's freshly released film review, Jessica first watched the part that reviewed the actors, exhaled sharply, and the smile on her face became sweeter, only to write: "It's wonderful to watch Meryl Streep perform, and under her understatement and extraordinary delicacy, a formidable demonic boss lives on the screen." ”
"Emily Blunt is a shocking newcomer, no wonder Streep would say 'she's one of the most talented young actresses I've ever worked with', and she knows how to steal attention from every scene where she appears, and there's no better screen debut than this. "Jessica Alba also delivered a surprise gig, with plenty of progress and impressive flashes of brilliance, and we saw a new genre outside of her 'dancing sweetheart'. ”
After reading this paragraph, Jessica's eyes looked towards the rest of the movie review, and she hummed softly, it was like there was some delicious goodie, save it for the end, her favorite part, and see what it wrote to Young!
"What!?What are you kidding......"
Jessica glared and frowned, what's going on?
I saw the film review read: "Despite the great performances, the mediocre Wang Yang wasted them, this is a night of extreme disappointment, if this movie was placed five years ago, we would say that a good director was born again; if you don't look at the director's name, maybe you will think that this is a good movie, just good." Now in December 2003, the director's name is Wang Yang, which is a mediocre and useless Hollywood commercial film, and the confused Wang Yang has created the boring and bland "TDP". ”
The overall rating of the film is B-, which is Yahoo's "just good" rating, and it previously gave "MIT-21-TEAM" A, "The Hangover" A, "District 9" the highest A+, and "Juno" A+...... B-!? Yahoo, who has always been "pro-Yang", gave B-?Jessica smirked, shook her head, and slapped her cheek repeatedly: "Am I dreaming within a dream? Now is the first layer......?"
"TDP is a bland and shallow, staccato fairy tale with a few interesting details and more mediocre time. Maybe Wang Yang will be a great director in the future, but this time he has nothing to do with magic, only disappointment. —Claudie Yapug, Rating: 2.5/4.
Why? Why is it another rotten bad review...... Jessica had stopped humming happily, touched her forehead a little unnaturally, stroked her hair back, and soon she shouted again, "NO!!"
Meryl Streep and Jessica Alba are victims of Wang Yang's latest fashion novel, TDP, a limp-timid, semi-satirical light comedy. On the one hand, Wang Yang defends fashion, on the other hand, destroys fashion, on the one hand, he says that 'fashion is not a big deal', and on the other hand, he shows off fashion brands and celebrities, which is ridiculous and boring in the end. This dodgy commercial film shows that the magical Young who 'puts Hollywood to shame' has grown up, and his ambitions have changed from classic movies to dollar-only Hollywood popcorn movies. - Salon, Stephanie Zacharek, Rated: B.
"It's a beautiful Hollywood light comedy, but the biggest problem with TDP is that it tries to take a theme that is not a big deal and has been published countless times in various media outlets, large and small, into a profound one. And the bad thing is that Wang Yang failed. ”…… Whew, whew—on the spacious bed, Wang Yang continued to sleep sweetly and peacefully, and he dreamed that he was lying on the endless prairie, and there was a western cowboy on horseback and a hat running over on the edge of the sky, and Heath Ledger?
"You're all wrong. Jessica took a deep breath and sighed, the Rotten Tomatoes network on the screen was updated not long ago to include some movie reviews, the film critics were only 30% and 25% fresh, and the green Rotten Tomatoes logo was so glaring. This is the first time she's faced with this situation, and when has it not been all fresh reviews at first glance? MIT-21-TEAM started out close to 100 percent, and now it's 87 percent and 90 percent...... Jessica looked at the screen with her hands on her chest, feeling dissatisfied, depressed and worried, for a long time, she gradually straightened out her thoughts, the voices of these film critics do not represent everything, and no matter what the results of "TDP" are, she can accept it, but she is most unwilling to see any pressure and unhappiness on Young, but if "TDP" really only has "rotten" reviews, how will he feel?
He was from 18 to 23 years old, and she was from 17 to 22 years old, both of them were facing this possible situation for the first time, Jessica felt that Wang Yang, who she knew, would not care so much, "It's good if the audience likes it!" She looked at the right column of the page again, and the audience liked it 93%!
Meryl Streep shows us what she does at an Oscar-level level. I'm so excited to see how the fashion industry works in this movie, and I wonder what it's like to work in that place......" - CoolDevils, "Amazing Young brings another amazing movie! Jessica Alba is fantastic!And Meryl Streep, Emily and everyone else!" - moviegun; "The best movie about fashion on the planet! Amazing Young gives a fair verdict on fashion. —Eleanor-D.
"Top-notch acting (especially Streep)! The fly in the ointment is that I feel like Amazing Young could do better, because there are some plot steps in the middle that make you want to sleep (MY's first). "The main problem with this film is that I can guess what's going to happen in the next minute, it's a bad feeling! But I still love it, it's so entertaining." ......"Hey, this is Brokeback Mountain, right?" In his sleep, Wang Yang stopped the cowgirl riding a tall horse and carrying a giant sword, looked at the angelic face, and asked, "You are beautiful, oh do we know each other?" The cowgirl beckoned, "Yang, get on the horse......!" IMDB score of 6.8, Rotten Tomatoes two freshness of 71%, 74%, audience liking 68%, this is the response to the new film "Love is a Compromise" released on the 12th yesterday, Nancy Myers got a "clever and funny romantic comedy" review, the opening review score made Columbia Company satisfied, and the same 12th release of the magical Yang work "TDP" ...... Those fans and netizens on the Internet early in the morning were surprised to find that IMDB scored 7.8, where did those die-hard fans of Miraculous Yang go?!He received more than 8 points in 5 consecutive movies The miracle ended!?What is even more surprising is still to come, although the audience liking of Rotten Tomatoes is as high as 90%, this data is almost certain that "TDP" is a big hit again, but among the 142 film reviews, 40% of the freshness of popular film reviews and 45% of the freshness of well-known film reviews!?85 are rotten!?The total reviews are rotten?!
Amazing Jan? Amazing Young rotten!? Claire in front of the computer screen shook her head funny, are these people crazy? What are they thinking about such a wonderful and interesting movie that actually gives a bad review?
"Are you kidding?" Joshua was eating breakfast as he looked at the Los Angeles Times in his hand, and suddenly his eyes widened, B- ratings?What is this critic doing? This is the worst film of Young's directing career?Betsy Shaji: "Except for the amazing performance, everything else is disappointment, a very formulaic Hollywood film." What caused Wonder Young to return to 17-year-old level? Maybe it's time for him to reflect. ”
"Except for a few moments, it's like a fashionable, cliché high-end TV show, and Wang Yang tells a story that is clear in half an hour for two hours. —Wall Street Journal, Joe Morgenstern, Score B. Natalie looked at it and threw the newspaper on the table, stacking it over the New York Times, the New York Post, and the New York Observer...... That guy finally encountered this situation, everyone's demanding requirements suddenly exploded, what would happen to him?
Natalie frowned thinking about it, she learned how to face these voices at a very young age, but Wang Yang has been questioned a lot all the way in the film industry since she was 18 years old, but she has not been blamed: "Your movie is garbage!" She thought for a while, and sent comfort blessings to this good brother!
"It seems that not thinking about starring in Firefly was the right choice. Looking at the Los Angeles Times in his hand, Brad Pitt shrugged his shoulders, without gloating or complaining for Wang Yang, just glad that he didn't take the blue glove. He knows the changes of Miraculous Young, he has won the Oscar for Best Director, and he is about to get married, what movie Hollywood is not Hollywood, who cares?
"Heath, it looks like we're taking the 'Blue Glove' too soon, too early!" On the phone, Steve Kinley's voice was full of sighs: "I watched "TDP" in the theater last night, it's a very ordinary commercial film, I mean for Wonder Young, he's going downhill, this winner in life is temporarily satisfied! Oh my God! He's going to get married next year, maybe have another baby soon, who knows?! ”
Heath Ledger reads Newsday in his hand, Gene Seymour: "The Devil Wears Prada" tells a familiar story, and it's told so superficially! How shallow...... "I don't think so!" Heath Ledger shook his head and said seriously, "I don't think so! Steve, I haven't seen TDP, I don't know how it is; but Firefly? I'm sure, sure, and sure it's going to shock the world!"
"I hope that "Firefly" doesn't have Jessica Alba now, Wang Yang makes her the heroine, and he will become cute. Steve Kinley sighed again, whether a movie's story theme is profound or not has determined whether it will be profound in the end, look at what Magic Young will shoot when he asks his angel to make a movie?
Hearing Steve sigh and say "Cute!", Heath Ledger closed the newspaper and said, "I don't think so! I take the blue gloves and I'll trust him with all my heart!" ”
"Haha, Wang Yang is finally finished!" Looking at the movie review on the computer screen, ordinary netizen Mahoney shouted happily. "YES!YES!FUCK OFF, CHINAKEE!BRING THAT MEXICAN BITCH!!!WHO IS HE?SHIT!" WHITE SUPREMACIST NELSON SHOOK HIS FIST, HE HAD BEEN UPSET WITH WANG YANG FOR TOO LONG. "Right in the face! Right in the face! He's so self-righteous, this is the beginning of his nightmare!!" Sampson gloated and laughed at a sarcastic review...... I have to say that 40% of the freshness of film reviews, even if people who say "GOOD" have a lot of "BUT", there are pieces of criticism everywhere, and it reveals that a "TDP" is garbage, the box office will not sell out, and the magic Yang is finished" atmosphere, which makes some people very excited and happy; Even people who watch the excitement and gossip also have their eyes lit up, in the past five years, they have become accustomed to hearing a lot every time a new film is released: "Incredible!", "Miraculous!", "Amazing!", "Amazing!" They wanted to shout, "Crazy God!"
Now the film critics are very dissatisfied with "TDP", with the magic young, and with the flame movie! Film critics are saying disappointed, sharp, and ugly words, and a few months ago these people were enthusiastically shouting for "MIT-21-TEAM", how amazing, how sharp, what a genius!
"The Devil Wears Prada is a film that audiences are positioned as adults, minors, grandparents, children, or who knows who it is, or here or there. Even the hardcore fan of Wonder Young, Roger Albert of the Chicago Sun, gave a thumbs up, smashed a 2/4 rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and sarcastically said: "Its stupid director is, yes! The guy who made "Juno," "The Hangover," and "21" not long ago, and now he's bringing a haute couture show and telling everyone how beautiful his sweetheart is! Why don't I go to Paris to watch the runway show? Oh, Paris doesn't welcome people like me, so why don't I turn on the TV and watch the fashion channels? ……”
Overnight, more than half of the "criticism" voices in newspapers, the Internet, and other entertainment media were not polite when they were "praised," and even less when they were praised, and they turned from cordial and friendly old friends to ruthless enemies in the blink of an eye.
The miraculous critics' reputation has already fallen, and many critics such as Roger Albert and Joe Morgenstein have mocked "TDP" as "TV-SHO", as well as critics who ridiculed its timid limp, who mean: "Don't say that this film is both commercial and artistic, it has no art, and it is also a failed commercial film!"
I don't know what kind of stinky shit it is! The audience positioning is not clear, the comedy jokes are not clear, and the head is shrunk and the brain is bland...... If you want to see those beautiful fashions and brand-name handbags, isn't it good to watch TV at home? "TDP" is a typical example of not selling, and the box office is definitely not high!
Don't look at the current IMDB ratings and Rotten Tomatoes audience liking values, which seem to be very popular, but these first batch of viewers are just "magic irons", and many people have expressed "fly in the ointment" emotions. Next, "TDP" is facing such a poor film critic reputation, "Love is a Compromise", which has been praised by many people, and "The Lord of the Rings 3", which will be released worldwide on the 17th, what can it do?
Film critics have reason to believe that the North American box office of this "TDP" will hit a new low for Wang Yang, which is not as good as the 163 million of his debut film "Ghost Shadow", about 100 million, 110 million, who knows?
Early in the morning, Wang Yang rubbed his eyes and got up, what had he been dreaming of Brokeback Mountain all night...... "Oh!" He was a little surprised to find that Jessica had gotten up earlier than him, and was sitting on the edge of the bed neatly dressed at this time, looking at him with a pretty smile, he greeted: "Hi, good morning!" Jessica kissed him and grinned, "Jan, good morning." ”
It's really strange! Wang Yang stretched out a long stretch, wearing the clothes she handed over, and suddenly wondered: "Jesse, you won't sleep all night, will you?" Haha!" It was just a joke, and he asked with a smile of interest, "SO, WHAT RESPONSE DID WE GET?"
