After the week of July 25th to 31st came to an end, the newly released "Very Little Agent 3" in 3,344 theaters won the North American weekly box office championship with 49 million, although its evaluation was extremely poor, only 44% freshness and 37% likeability, and after "Pirates of the Caribbean" with 36.98 million and "Jedi Men 2" with 32.15 million, the fourth place was the horse racing inspirational movie "Pentium Age", "Hard Cookie" received 31.58 million box office, 77% freshness of good reviews.

Another newly released "Tomb Raider 2" ranked fifth with 31.25 million, and the 24% freshness became another film that was scolded by film critics this summer.

It's August 1st, Friday, and a new weekend is about to begin, "American Pie 3" will be released in 3,172 theaters, and "MIT-21-TEAM" will also be on the big screen in 3,354 theaters. Countless young fans have been looking forward to this day for a long time, for "American Pie 3", more for the magical new work of "a classic as soon as it is shot", for Natalie Portman, Rachel McAdams, and for this legendary story.

At this time last year, the mysterious "District 9" was the most talked-about movie in the last month of the summer vacation, and then it dominated the entire month of August. Now a year has passed, and when the name "District 9" is mentioned, there are still many viewers who remember its depression and sadness, and remember the bamboo dragonfly.

Today, the second game of Miraculous Young's "Las Vegas Two-Part" is finally released, and die-hard fans hope that he can continue the magic, and the new work will continue to be a classic, making this August theater a little interesting.

"Clay, why don't we watch "American Pie 3"! Watch "21" next week. ”

In the ticket hall of the movie theater in the small town of the fishing port, it seems to be particularly lively tonight, there is a long queue to buy tickets, and the young man in front of him got the ticket at the ticket counter and sprayed a bucket of popcorn and Coke, and then walked to the theater with his friends with great interest.

And in the middle and back of the line, a white young man in a T-shirt seemed to have a new idea on the fly. Claire, the blonde girl who heard this, laughed and looked at her boyfriend with amusement and confusion: "Are you crazy? Adam, the first day you met me?" Adam said with a huff: "I just think that "American Pie 3" is more suitable for young couples like us." Claire rolled her eyes and said, "You know it's not going to change." ”

"I know, isn't it because it's a movie made by Wang Yang, so you want to watch it?" Adam's face was full of dissatisfaction, and he said what Magic Yang was all day long, and he couldn't help but curse softly: "A damn bastard, curse him!" Claire's eyes immediately widened, and she gasped and said, "What did you say?" Seeing that she was defending that guy like this, Adam simply vented his anger and said, "I said he was a stupid donkey!"

The young people around them all looked at them, and the fans of Magic Yang couldn't help frowning, what kind of person is this? A girl glanced at the two of them in disgust, and muttered something to her friends: "See that bitch again......"

"Shut up for me. Claire suppressed her voice full of anger and glared at her boyfriend, her voice trembling a little angrily: "Where are you damn bastard in those difficult days when I was in the first place? I don't dare to take any responsibility, you will be sneaky! I don't blame you, we were not sensible at the beginning! But at that time, who gave me the strength to keep going?!Who encouraged me and comforted me!???

Thinking of that difficult and confused time, self-blame and pain, her eyes were a little red, and she took a deep breath and said, "Later, I wrote a letter to him, and he wrote back to enlighten me, and I accepted you as a coward again...... Anyway, Adam, don't make me hate you. ”

Adam felt guilty, knowing that she was a good girl, and also knowing that he was purely vexatious, and whispered a little uncomfortably: "I'm sorry." Claire, I'm just jealous of him...... status...... You know, I actually love Young's movies too!"

"Ahh Claire shook her hand angrily, walked two steps towards the team, and scolded: "I'm so angry, my good mood has been ruined by you! What kind of "American Pie 3" is it funnier and hilarious than "The Hangover"? I haven't stopped laughing since last year! I'm going to watch card counting tonight, you know, I want to see how those geniuses win big money with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division! I'm mad at ......"

"I'm going to see Natalie Portman from the Magic Young movie! People don't know OK, don't you know how much I like Juno? It's not because of Juno that I'm not with you, I'm on MIT now!I'm at the premiere in Las Vegas!Darn! I'm mad at ......"

Adam pursed his mouth in fear of speaking, listened to her scolding, and looked around uncomfortably from time to time.

Soon the two of them arrived at the ticket counter, and Adam preemptively said, "Give us two tickets for MIT-21-TEAM! Two large buckets of popcorn!Sweet!" Claire fanned the wind with her hands to her face, showing a hint of a smile: "I'm mad......"

The premiere of "MIT-21-TEAM" was scheduled to be held at the Caesars Palace Theater in Las Vegas, and the stars were shining on the lively red carpet earlier, and the leading actors were all present, Wu Yanzu in a black suit and his girlfriend Lisa Slesner, speaking of which, the crew was able to obtain the filming rights of Caesars and other big casinos, Lisa Slesner contributed a lot, Alexis, Jay Baruchel, Nick Canon, Karen Mok...... In addition to fans and invited media reporters and film critics, Ben Mozridge, the author of "The Capture of Las Vegas", Kevin Ma, who came happily with his parents, Varay Pfister, Margaret and other main creators and crew members also attended...... The Flame Movie also invited Zach Galifeianakis, a hangover card counter, to come, and the fat man was naturally funny on the red carpet and stole a lot of shots.

Of course, there is also the most high-profile Natalie, who has just finished part of the filming of "Star Wars Prequel 3" and returned to the crew after the release promotion of "21", and she attended tonight in a smart knee-length dress. Rachel wore a red off-the-shoulder evening gown, curly hair, and a sweet smile. Wang Yang and Jessica, who caused fans to shout and reporters to flash their lights, were indispensable.

"You're not going to be okay this time, are you?"

The dimly lit screening room was crowded with people, and the wide auditorium was full of seats, and there were few empty seats, and at a glance, there were a lot of black-haired Asian faces. As soon as Evelyn and her good sister Kelly sat down with her good sister Kelly, Kelly looked her up and down and asked in a worried tone.

Evelyn looked at the trailer playing on the big screen, her eyes showed excitement, she shook her head and smiled: "How come? It's not a horror thriller, it's a drama about card counting! Unless it makes me stupid!"

Compared with other large cities in North America, in San Francisco, which has a 1/3 Asian population, the native-born Magic Yang has always been more popular, and this time there is another native-born Daniel Wu, telling the legendary story of a Chinese genius, "MIT-21-TEAM" has undoubtedly received enthusiastic support from Asians and is sought after by the Chinese people, and this city is also an important box office of "21".

Every time Wang Yang's film is promoted in San Francisco, Flame Film Distribution has a different plan, just as this time the promotion for the Asian American community focuses on Jeff Ma, Daniel Wu and Magic Young, encouraging them to support more films starring Asians, with the goal of using this market to the top.

Wang Yang really hopes that these villagers, fathers, and Asian Americans can give more support and encouragement, so that the money-first market can change its attitude little by little as soon as possible.

There is no reason why Chinese audiences should not support this movie, provided that it is not a bad movie. In fact, there is no need for much publicity, among the Chinese young group, the rate of Wang Yang as an idol has long been incredibly high, from the moment he announced the plan and confirmed the Chinese actor, they counted the days and looked forward to the release. And tonight, August 1, Chinese and Asian audiences across North America flocked to movie theaters.

And for other large cities and white groups, Afro-Hispanic Indians...... The focus of the promotion is the whole story of "Genius Students Playing in the Casino" and the whole MIT group with different skin colors, as well as the amazing card counting, and the actors are Natalie Portman and Rachel McAdams, you must know that in the young market, they have considerable box office appeal, and Magic Young is a 100% credibility guarantee.

"It's almost starting. In one of the 3,354 theaters in Los Angeles, Nancy Lino, wearing a blue bucket hat, sat in the middle of the audience with her hands crossed to her chest, with a thoughtful look on her face. Before the movie even began, the crowd around was almost full of people whispering softly or enjoying soda food.

What will this film look like? This is a question that Nancy is curious about and thinking about, and she has not asked Wang Yang about it, but she has discussed this topic with some of her classmates and friends at USC. This theme is undoubtedly very novel and unique, so how to show it on the big screen to look good? Some students said that they would shoot some people who have fallen because of windfall and become rich, and the interests of the team are conflicting...... Or some ethnically different love scenes, the living conditions of Asian Americans...... Nancy felt that these sounds unreliable, that the deep and heavy propositions are not at all suitable for the subject, and that those conflicts of interest seem too commonplace...... It's just the theme, it's more important how to tell the story well in storyboards, what kind of style, what kind of rhythm...... Recently, she can't wait because Wang Yang has shown strong confidence: "This is a unique and enjoyable enough movie! I don't say it's cool, but you will." "Let's be clear, I'm sure it's going to set a new record for the genre!

She knows that Magic Jan is not a person who likes to boast nonsense, and if he says unique, he must be unique, and if he says cool, he must be cool...... Thankfully, you can see the movie in its true form tonight!

With these strong curiositys in their hearts, as well as the media reporters and film critics at Caesar's Palace Theater, they all have a feeling that they are about to be suffocated! You must know that they can usually watch a movie one step ahead of the ordinary audience, but they do not include Magic Young, which is also a point that the industry is dissatisfied with him. Except for "The Hangover" last time, this guy relied on his reputation for winning every time and refused to arrange a test screening, so they won't be able to get a glimpse until tonight.

A director won the Oscar for Best Director, and his next second work is naturally very expected by the public, and it is also very concerned by the film critics, and the requirements are more stringent. Not to mention that less than 5 months have passed since this year's Oscars, and everyone still remembers it vividly.

In this "Las Vegas 2", how will Magic Young play?

As night darkens Las Vegas, the streets are filled with glittering night scenes, and fun-seekers enter casinos to play slots, big roulette, and 21 o'clock ...... At this time, the Caesars Palace Theater was full, whether it was the fans and audiences in the back, or the crew and creators sitting in the front row, laughing and talking to each other, waiting for the upcoming screening.

"It's also my first time watching. "I heard Natalie on the left complaining that she couldn't see it until the premiere and didn't know what the theatrical version would look like. Rachel immediately agreed, looked at Wang Yang, who was sitting on Natalie's left, smiled dimplely, and said: "The director always says to keep it secret and be mysterious...... Natalie's psychology seems to be balanced, and said with a smile: "Ha, I thought I missed it because I was busy with the filming of "Star Wars". ”

"No, no one who has not been involved in post-production has seen it......" Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders, it was fun to keep the mystery, this is interesting! He looked left and right, and said with a smile: "Because I think it's very exciting, it's mine, mine! I don't want you to watch it! Okay, okay, we can watch it together right away." ”

Natalie blinked abruptly and nodded, "I see, no wonder Jessica has so few magazine covers." Jessica, who was sitting on Wang Yang's left, was stunned, she snorted, and said with a toothy smile: "I'm just a lazy person." Wang Yang whispered at the same time: "Yes, I am a very nasty conservative. ”

Everyone laughed and chatted a few more words, and the buzzing conversation in the theater was replaced by a burst of thunderous applause, and everyone applauded vigorously, and the screening of "MIT-21-TEAM" was about to begin!

On the dark big screen of 3,354 cinemas, a moth pounced into the flames and was reborn into the beautiful and quiet pastoral world, flying over the flowers and green grass, dancing with butterflies in the blue sky and white clouds. After the opening animation of the Flame movie ended, a casual female voice rang out in the theater: "We'll find out, what's the most in Boston?nerdy and genius ......"

The sound of conversation continued to ring, and I saw that the picture on the big screen was a dimly lit bar, with young students playing darts and wiping wine glasses bartenders, and after a few quick shots, Natalie, Alexis and Jay Baruchel drinking at the bar appeared, also showing some text messages: "Director: Young-ang, Executive Producer: Young-ang, Starring: Daniel-u, Natalie-Portman......"

The applause of Caesar's Palace Theater suddenly stopped, the audience stared at the big screen with a quiet face, and the various long-hungry critics immediately became attentive, and had no other distractions in their minds, just to watch the film to the fullest.

"My Ali is so cute......" Joshua, who was in the middle of the audience with red eyes and a goofy smile, could have sat in the front if he had come here as Ali's boyfriend, but insisted that he was a production assistant tonight.

Seeing his name on the screen, Wu Yanzu couldn't help but feel very incredible, when he was in school, he never thought that he would be an actor and appear on thousands of North American big screens as a leading actor...... In various cities in North America, countless fans in front of the big screen, including Evelyn and Claire, have their eyes lit up, and they finally have something to watch! They all excitedly recited silently in their hearts: "Counting cards and counting cards......

"Let me shoot it, and I will probably win the Golden Sour Plum Worst Film Award. Jessica suddenly remembered that day at the beginning of last year, in the living room of the house, she and Joshua first knew about the movie, and at that time they were still discussing "how should it be filmed?" She still remembers that she said that she was not funny or serious, and was very interested in those card counting skills, makeup code language gestures, etc., and then he said, "As you wish!"

Feeling a familiar hand holding her right hand, Jessica looked at Wang Yang beside her and chuckled softly, "Our seventh premiere." Wang Yang immediately shook his head and said with a smile: "No, it's the tenth time!" Jessica felt a warm heart, she didn't count herself, and he had a ......, "I have an addition and subtraction question to ask you, how is it?2+7+4-5+2+4-1+9+2+6-4+2-8-7+4-2+6?" On the big screen, with the appearance of the fat classmate with glasses who accosted her, Natalie immediately said a large paragraph casually and quickly, as if she was talking nonsense casually, but many fans who have carefully studied the trailer know that the answer is 21, it turns out that this question is at the beginning, it is such a plot!

Many fans who love "Juno" feel that everything is a little different, and Natalie's style and interpretation seem to have some similarities with the ghost Juno, but they are not ......similar"21. Just when the fat classmate opened his mouth stupidly and was ridiculed by the smiles of the three people, a voice suddenly sounded, and I saw Natalie turn her head with a moving expression in the picture, and with the male voice of "I also have a question for you, what is 22-1?", the camera switched to Wu Yanzu's smiling face.

Young audiences all over North America have a feeling of perkning, the atmosphere is completely different from the trailer, and this appearance is cool! Because they can't remember the simple math problem at all, it's not esoteric, and the mental arithmetic is extremely fast! Even though the person is a rare Asian face on the screen, it's not an action movie! But they already had this psychological expectation before they walked into the theater, and this kind of anti-mockery of beautiful women still makes many men very funny.

And the Chinese audience is very excited, not only Jeff Ma's cool appearance, but even cooler is this moment!

"Suppose you're on a game show and there are three doors for you to choose to open ......", "It's the Monty-Hall paradox...... The transition has a 2/3 chance of success. Why not?"...... The sound in the screening room never stopped, and there was hardly a second between the five and six minutes, and between the camera switches at several different angles and directions on the side of the bar, the two aggressively asked each other math problems, mocking, confusing, and disrupting ...... Defeat each other!

From time to time, there were more and more interested eyes and smiles from Alexis and Jay Baruchel, and the fat classmate's expressions were a little dazed, Natalie suddenly asked with a smile: "If you have to bet, how can you win?" After a pause for a second, Wu Yanzu's voice slowed down: "There is no such thing as winning in gambling. ”

OOOO…… The inner emotions of the film critics are a little churning, and there is no good or bad judgment for a while, because they can't react a little, and the beginning is very unexpected! It seems to have traces of the table chatter of "Reservoir Dogs", but it is completely different! 5 minutes tells at least 10 minutes or 15 minutes of lines in ordinary films! The oppressive and sharp beginning, trying to suck the audience directly into the story!

It's like a gorgeous, ferocious fight action scene where punch by punch is punched against each other, but it feels strong and violent, and now this math fight feels like these two guys are brilliant! genius...... Hearing a few viewers around her take a deep breath, Nancy lifted her fisherman's hat, watched Natalie get up and leave on the screen, and sighed with emotion: "Wow! She faintly felt those powerful places, this large section of lines sounded very mysterious quickly, but it made people seem to understand it or not, as if a lot of knowledge poured into the brain, and those sarcastic and cold humors gave people a respite."

It also creates an atmosphere of debate and confrontation, giving people the same psychological feeling of fighting, but using the brain instead of the muscles, no wonder she has a feeling of excitement...... "You're going to join a club soon." In the screen, the three of Natalie walked out of the bar in a dashing manner, and the camera gave a close-up view of Wu Yanzu and the fat man standing side by side, and the fat man shouted loudly in confusion: "Hey, what do you mean? ”

Nancy couldn't help but adjust her sitting posture, and vaguely heard the excited whispers of the audience around her: "MIT group ......", "The fat man is so pitiful." She smiled, and Marvelous Jan immediately caught the excitement! Almost everyone sitting in the theater knew the story and was interested in card counting...... This shot makes you can't wait to see Jeff Ma join the MIT21 squad and enter a new world.

“COOL——！”
