Chapter 492: Little Sunshine Beauty
"Ahh
This year, Halloween is not a weekend, and on Tuesday night of the 31st, many moviegoers seeking a thriller atmosphere flocked to the theater to watch a horror movie.
The moonlight was hazy, and there was a frightened scream in the warm baby's room, and Wang Yang, who was dressed in brown bear puppet clothes next to the baby's bed, was so frightened that his face was distorted, and Keke looked puzzled, what was this doing? But affected by the atmosphere, she was a little scared, and couldn't help but hug the bear doll in her hand.
"HEY!" Jessica called out angrily, she really didn't know who the child was when she was so young and had Halloween! Wang Yang stared at Keke, and said in a gloomy tone: "I suddenly remembered a story, tonight! I'm going to tell you a new story, a scary story." Keke blinked in confusion: "Ahhh
Keke pouted a little unhappily, she didn't seem to want to be scared. Wang Yang had cleared his throat and began to speak in a deep voice: "Once upon a time, there was a black-haired girl who walked out into the street and was eaten by a big brown bear. He opened his mouth wide and growled, and Keke let out a surprised "oh ahhh
"Jan!" Although babies should not understand the plot when listening to stories, but rely on the emotional atmosphere created by voice and body language to understand, what if the baby can actually understand it? Jessica sneered: "Don't really scare her! You know the importance of the subconscious. How could Wang Yang be willing to scare her, he pushed Jessica's head and continued: "Then, she came to the world of the belly of the big brown bear, where many people lived, and it turned out that they were all eaten people......"
In the baby's room, Wang Yang's storytelling voice was sometimes low, sometimes high, sometimes laughing, sometimes screaming "ahh
When October 27-November 2 passed, "Saw 4" added another 06 North American weekly box office champion trophy to the flame movie without suspense, with an average of $14,546 per theater in 3175 theaters, landing on the top of the list with a box office of 46.18 million!
Compared with the 53.63 million of the highest "SA3" in the series, "SA4" has done a very good job of handing over the task of connecting the previous and the next, and this gold mine that has been excavated for many years has not been exhausted, and the production cost of 4 is still only 10 million.
Although it failed to defend its title in the following week of November 3-9, losing to the 91%/98%/76% ultra-highly-rated hilarious R-rated comedy "Borat: Learning American Culture for the Construction of the Great Motherland Kazakhstan", when it received another 19.85 million (-57%), the total box office reached 66.03 million in two weeks, according to this momentum, the North American box office of more than 80 million is completely expected, and its global box office is more optimistic about more than 160 million.
With the success of "SA4", the 27-year-old Darren Lynn Bowsman made a name for himself in one fell swoop, although he received mixed reviews, a large part of SA fans said he was good, another part said that he ruined the series, and the film critics scolded him bloody, but in any case, SA4 allowed him to fully show his ability in horror films, and most SA fans felt that they would be this guy in the next year or two.
Recently, FF and Paulingman announced to the media that he will not direct SA5 again! Paulingman said: "I regret not being able to continue directing SA because I still have a lot of ideas, but I understand and respect Flame's decision. Bausman soon found his next stop, talking to independent filmmaker Eccentric Films about bringing his 2002 stage play, "The Genetics Opera," to the big screen.
"Darren did a fantastic job, but SA needed some new blood and we couldn't stand still. "To the shock of SA fans, Flame Films announced that Saw 5 will be written and directed by 25-year-old Nancy Reno.
For the flames, this is a decision with no question mark, Nancy's ability is undoubted, judging from her resume, she graduated from the USC School of Cinematic Arts (renamed in April 2006) with a major in film and television production, and a script writing course, which can be said to be an orthodox academy background;
And as Wang Yang's important assistant for many years, she is one of the people he has cultivated, her understanding and experience in all aspects of making movies are far higher than her peers, and her understanding and ideas of SA have also convinced all flame people. As for age, it has never been a consideration for the flame, and the average age of the directors (in terms of release date) of the four SA films is currently 27 years old, and the five films next year will be 26.8 years old.
Although Wang Yang is a USC Avenger, he is also the core figure of the USC Gang, and there are many USC gang members related to FF, not counting Mark Slent, such as Jon Zhu, Susan Downey and others, and now there is another USC director, of course people are not surprised by this, the key is that the female director!
Naturally, there are not no female directors, there are several well-known ones, FF has a tradition of using female directors, until now, 6 of the 34 films it has released over the years are directed by women, accounting for 17.6%, and recently it also announced that Anne Fletcher will direct "Bridesmaids", but 25 years old!
"It's an honor to take over SA, this opportunity means a lot to me, and I will do my best to make a SA that will surprise everyone. The new helmsman, Nancy Lino, appeared to be feminine, expressing her confidence to SA fans on her official website, and revealed that SA5 will return to explore more suspense and human nature.
"What the hell is Amazing Yang thinking?" Although Nancy Lino is Wang Yang's right-hand man, in addition to the Rose Bowl game at the beginning of the year, some reporters can also see her in the set stills; although according to the introduction of the flame and the filmmaker's information, she participated in the production of "SA" and is also one of the producers of "SA4", fans and audiences still feel very unbelievable, such a young, hot, and smart female director?
Some fans expressed excitement and anticipation, but more worries and jokes, Wesley S replied to Nancy on the official website: "God, you don't focus on the romantic love history of Jigsaw, do you?" Glenn M followed up and wrote: "It's a good idea, Jigsaw and his wife's touching story, looking forward to me crying." Justin-D asked, "Will there be a killing game again?", "What worries me the most is not SA, but how violent a pretty girl can be?", "Hopefully there will be no dating in next year's trailer." ”……
Not only fans, but also the media have expressed doubts that this dynamic is even more outrageous than "Iron Man" directed by Favreau and "The Dark Knight" directed by Nolan, and the answer will not be known until the release of "SA5" on Halloween next year.
"Oh hoo! oh hoo!" Nancy has been giving these excited cheers lately, she's going to officially become a film director! After so many years, she thought she wouldn't be very excited at this moment, but it wasn't, when she signed the agreement to write and direct SA5, she felt that her dream had come true, it was amazing! But she knew that her debut SA5 was not an easy start, and she wanted to make this R-rated bloody horror film glow with new charm and meaning while maintaining its style, good luck, Nancy!
"Your show is over, sweetheart!", "HEY!HEY!!let go of my daughter!let her finish!", "Let go, help, let go of me!"
"Hahaha-" Accompanied by the sound of light music, the audience seats in the screening hall of "Little Sunshine Beauty" resounded with laughter, and the audience looked at the big screen with smiles on their faces, the film has come to the final stage, Olive danced a striptease (taught by grandpa) on the stage of the Sunshine Little Beauty pageant, and the staff wanted to ask her to step down, but Olive Richard's father rushed up and grabbed the staff, and the scene was suddenly chaotic.
"Catch her, catch her!" The judges on the side of the stage were furious, and Olive's father, who was pulled away, shouted, "Keep jumping, sweetheart! I'm fine, keep jumping!" It was her dream, maybe she was taught by her grandfather to make mistakes, but she was qualified to complete this show, and the whole family had worked hard all the way to win the show. The disco music was still playing, and Olive continued to jump happily for no apparent reason, and the judge's wife was so angry that she was about to cry: "Get your daughter down now!!
Daddy Oliver slowly walked to the center of the stage and called, "Sweetheart." When he came behind his daughter, his head slowly slammed, and suddenly he twisted his buttocks and danced, and his uncle and brother also rushed to the stage to dance, and finally his mother also ran up to join the dance troupe with a smile.
"Hahaha!", "Haha, wow-" Looking at this happy family, the frowning audience under the stage, the helpless judges and ladies, the audience felt warm, moved, interesting, and inspired, and many people couldn't help but applaud and whistle, what a good movie!
The end result was police intervention, the Oliver family could not be held accountable, on the condition that they could never let Oliver participate in any beauty pageant in California again, they certainly did not win the title of Little Sunshine Beauty, the grandfather's body had been sent to the funeral home, the shroud was folded, the van was once again pushed by them to start, and the family embarked on the journey home. The screening hall immediately burst into warm applause, and the audience with endless memories expressed their feelings at the moment with smiling faces and praise.
"Little Miss Sunshine offers a surprising amount of dark humor and emotion, as well as a strong cast. —3/4, Christy Lemmier, AP;"The character setting was flawless, Kinnear had never had a more suitable role than 'Richard,' this time it was a sweet show and completely convincing, and Arkin had the best line and offered them a vaudeville moment. —3/4, Jack Matthews, New York Daily News; The funniest and most tasteful script, acting and directing, the best American family burlesque so far this year. —4.5/5, Andrew Salis, New York Observer......
From the opening scene of the family having dinner to the final scene of the family dancing, this small-budget film is pure genius! Every second is clever and funny, but completely real and touching. Abigier Bryslin Jr. is so perfect, especially when she is paired with some special talents. I'm already looking to see it for the second time, and the Flame Movie is another good work. "Superuser film critic Jamers gave it four and a half stars;
"Each actor seems to have their own unique personality, 'everyone pretends to be normal', but the film is often real. Abigail Blyslin is so lovable that she shines so brightly in this film. The film is excellent and irresistible. "Nadira has five stars;"Epic comedy that everyone should see!" Jack G has four and a half stars, Ellie D has five stars: "Very good, brilliant in every way, the best movie I've ever seen, it deserves an Oscar." ”……

The focus movie that has hidden the script of "Little Sunshine Beauty" for many years is stupid, and other filmmakers are also stunned, and finally understand why Flame has an impact on the positioning of "Little Sunshine Beauty" awards season, and now it is obvious that Magic Young is right.
