Chapter 277: Hey, Judy
"What response did we get?"
Early in the morning, in the bedroom of the hotel suite, Wang Yang asked with interest while getting dressed. Jessica sighed, her eyes widened and she smiled, "You go wash your face and brush your teeth first!" Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders indifferently and walked to the bathroom: "Okay, but I'm going to PEE first." He suddenly looked at her smiling face, and suddenly knew why she had a strange feeling, she should have counted her fingers excitedly: "Young, how many points does IMDB have! What other websites say what ......?"
"Could it be that that kind of situation happened?" Thinking of Mark Slent's words during the internal test screening, as well as the psychological prediction that had been made for a long time, Wang Yang couldn't help but laugh a few times, and said to her in a mysterious tone: "Baby, I guess what's going on?" Looking at him as if he was so happy, Jessica couldn't guess his mind for a while, and said, "Maybe ......"
WANG YANG WAS NOT IN A HURRY TO KNOW THE ANSWER, AND CAME TO THE BATHROOM PEEPEE AND WASHED...... She went to the balcony to practice Bajiquan again, and Jessica, who was also practicing and sweating profusely, suddenly stopped, she knew that all this had to be faced, she didn't want others to tell him the news, she told it every time, no matter whether she was happy or sad. Jessica gasped slightly: "Young, IMDB 7.9 points, the audience generally said it was very good, 90% liked it on Rotten Tomatoes, but those film critics ...... 40% freshness. β
"Oh, OK!" Wang Yang swung his fist like the wind, took a lunge under his feet, and faced the early morning sun, and suddenly rushed upwards with a wind-breaking "Huo" sound, and sure enough, it happened! He snorted angrily and rushed forward a few steps, the film critics did not accept its mild "mediocrity", it was really bad! However, he was a little interested in what reason they smashed the tomatoes? He glanced at Jessica, who had a calm face, and immediately smiled: "Please, hy-so-serious?"
"No, I am. Jessica handed him a sweat towel and smiled softly, "I'm worried about you." β
"Oh, I'm not saying I'm happy, I'm a little depressed, but it's really nothing. Wang Yang wiped his hands, 40% freshness, he could already imagine how serious this "rebound" would be, those media who had applauded him turned the wind, and those who had always hated him also got a chance, what magic Yang is over, Wang Yang's idiot words will definitely not be less.
But compared to that bit of boredom, what he has always feared most is that his family is worried and hurt by this, especially Jessica who starred in "TDP".
hugged her and kissed her, Wang Yang comforted her: "All this is in my expectation, the dissatisfaction of the film critics and some disappointments of fans...... I'm sorry I didn't make you a strong contender for the Oscar for Best Actress. Jessica gradually breathed a sigh of relief, tilted her neck and shook her head and smiled: "I have the Jessica Award for Best Actress, don't I?" Wang Yang suddenly laughed: "Yes! But that Oscar, Meryl Streep has a chance." β
"You can't satisfy everyone, you know me, it's good if the audience likes it!" Wang Yang hung the towel on her shoulder, stepped aside to put on a posture, and continued to laugh: "Film critics are not rating robots, they have a narrow side, and many reasons will affect their judgment and evaluation, I regret that they can't appreciate "TDP"...... But I know you're doing a good job, Streep is good, Emily is good...... Valley is good, Margaret is good...... I'm doing a good job too, understand?"
He slowly played the Tai Chi boxing routine, and said: "Every story type has its limitations, sometimes I have to do its balance, not extreme, because this is the best technique, and the audience will prove that "TDP" is an excellent light comedy! After that, he practiced back to Bajiquan in a hurry.
"Hmm!" Jessica smiled, his attitude was the same as she thought, and he was more calm and confident, without surprise or discomfort. But I don't know if it's a psychological effect, she feels that the strength and speed of his boxing practice are more violent than before, "I'm a little depressed!", how to make him happy?
"OK, let me see what they say. After breakfast after the morning exercise, Wang Yang turned on the computer and looked through today's "New York Times" in his hand, Christy Lemire, a female film critic with a rating of 4/5, wrote: "Entertaining, relaxed, lively, sexy, beautiful." You can't take your eyes off the screen, you have to watch it! It just bursts into bursts of power that control your attention until it's over. β
Wang Yang shook the newspaper in his hand, and smiled proudly at Jessica next to him: "See? Christie loves "TDP" very much, what a good audience!" Jessica nodded and smiled: "Obviously yes!"
"TDP feels like it's a real story, it has a great ending and a lot of fun, and it's a very enjoyable and relaxing experience. β3/4, Mick Russell, San Francisco Chronicle; It's impossible to change anyone's life, or even anyone's dress, but "TDP" brings an absolutely pleasing satire and the chance to star a few great performances by Meryl Streep. βA, Tom Dragon, Detroit News...... "Haha, they're complimenting us too!"
But he was soon drowned out by criticism, and the Rotten Tomatoes page on his computer screen showed numerous one-sentence movie reviews, a handful of red tomatoes, and patches of green rot. Seeing Roger Albert's satirical film review, Wang Yang frowned and sneered, and said in disappointment: "Yes, I just want to tell everyone how beautiful my sweetheart is! But Roger, you are really wrong this time, it will be good at the box office...... For this reason, haha!"
Jessica looked at him disappointed and angry, and knew that he was not so "Amitabha", but who would not have these emotions when encountering such a situation? She frowned and thought about a way to make him happy, and suddenly thought of something, got up and ran: "Yang, you look first! Wait for me for a while, soon!"
"Oh!" Wang Yang did feel some disappointment and anger because of these film reviews, but he was not sad, why was he angry? Look at the Northwest Herald's Jeffrey Westerhoff's 2.5/4 rating: "Andrea's mental depravity is gradual and clear, and she doesn't even realize it's happening. While these may be more real people, it doesn't make the drama interesting. β
If you drink the milk from the previous breakfast now, Wang Yang will definitely squirt out in one gulp, this movie review is absolutely, absolutely very casual bullshit, because Andrea has a change in mentality that causes the movie to be "depressed", so it is not good-looking? Why not ask those who evaluate "shallow" what they think?
Like many other film critics, this Geoffrey Westerhoff is fundamentally skeptical and negative about "TDP" in terms of genre and structure, and it can be said that he watched it with preconceptions from the beginning, and felt that the changes in human nature are not interesting, which can only mean that this genre is not suitable for you to watch, and it does not mean that it is a garbage genre! It's like a lot of people don't like to watch horror movies, can it be said that horror movies are rubbish?
Ordinary viewers are free to express their opinions, but film critics, who have the right to speak in the media and have mass influence, cannot be so irresponsible.
"If the story focuses on the heroine Andy's temptation to fall and then save herself, then there will be a shockingly profound change in its spiritual plane. But now, there's no suspense in the way it is narrated. βAlan Dyer, .
"Yes, yes, maybe it's best to have Darren Aronofsky directing and Natalie Portman starring. Wang Yang couldn't help but spread his hands, this was really the film review he had expected! Another preconceived film review, and contrary to Jeffrey Westerhoff's direction of thinking, one wanted the film to be not suppressed at all, and the other wanted it from beginning to end, and they all gave rotten reviews.
Which drama are these film critics really singing? Movies are like color cards, do they only love big red or big purple, and they can't tolerate lighter colors?
He thinks that's where the interest of the mass audience lies, Roger Albert said that "TDP" is not clearly positioned, but it is not, and the same as the 06 version, his first positioning is the female audience, and most of the female audience is to watch fashion, those famous brands and celebrities are just an atmosphere, there is no excess and no lack, he gave, to meet their needs, and some common sense and operation in the fashion industry are like card counting, which is also what they want, and he also gave.
Version 06 even thinks that in addition to this, no one cares about Andrea's change in mentality, so it is more simple and superficial, but if he cares, he has to discuss it in a gentle atmosphere.
But now it seems that the audience's reaction is good, but the film critics who tend to be "completely light comedy" feel even more annoyed, and with the addition of "Magical Young", it is really intolerable; the film critics who tend to be "degenerate, dark, and human" see some hope, and turn their heads and laugh and laugh again, intermittently uncomfortable, which is really shallow and profound! With "Magical Young", it is intolerable! So Rotten Tomatoes flies around, which is not as good as 76% of the 06 version.
In the final analysis, many film critics are very selfish, most of them rely on their own ideas and sensory feelings, and they can't be objective, and then they have their own ideas, and commercial films also have to take into account the idea of positioning the audience, so this is the way it is.
"Hey, man, I just remembered you. Wang Yang was continuing to browse these increasingly funny movie reviews, when his phone suddenly vibrate, and he picked it up and saw that it was Natalie Portman, and then he opened his mouth and said with a quick laugh. Natalie over there was stunned: "YES, why?" Wang Yang snorted and said, "Because my mobile phone has caller ID function, ha!
"It's amazing, you seem to be in a good mood......" Hearing his cold joke, Natalie laughed a few times angrily, and said seriously: "It's nothing, I watched "TDP" yesterday, and then many people scolded it today, you know, right? I just want to comfort you, you know that from a psychological point of view, although you have an Andrea and love, you also need the care of friends and need friendship." β
Wang Yang leaned back in the chair and smiled at the phone: "That's right, I'm really a little sad, okay, you can start." Natalie's voice was delicate: "You know, it's a little flat, it's not attractive, it doesn't make me scream, I don't know, it's okay overall, it's better than "Youth Musical." Wang Yang said in surprise: "Hey, are you here to comfort me or to hit me?" Natalie said in a casual tone: "Maybe I'm here to hit you." β
In front of the mobile phone, both of them couldn't help but laugh and rolled their eyes. Natalie sighed, and said in a louder voice, "No matter what, be yourself!" because in this world, there are many, many media critics, but you are the only one. Wang Yang smiled: "Yes, you are right, be yourself." Natalie wowed, "Oh! I blurted out! What does that mean? I remember this line, it's a good movie." β
"Thank you. Wang Yang thanked him, Natalie said again, "And Jessica is very hot, acting very well", Wang Yang smiled and said "thank you", Natalie said "And Emily is very hot, acting very well", Wang Yang said "Thank you", Natalie said "And Streep is very hot, acting very well", Wang Yang shrugged: "Thank you, what a director!" Natalie said again, "And digression, Natalie is also very hot", Wang Yang said: "I am not - thank you often!"
The two ended the call after a few more words, Wang Yang shouted loudly: "Sweetheart, Natalie let me tell you, you are very hot and act very well!" Jessica's voice came from the bathroom: "I know! Thank her!" Wang Yang shouted in confusion: "What are you doing?" Is it a bad stomach?" Jessica shouted: "No, I'm fine, soon!" Wang Yang was about to get up to see what was wrong, Jessica shouted again: "Don't come here!"
However, Wang Yang was immediately entangled by the comfort calls from the best circle of friends, text messages from good friends, colleagues, and ordinary circle of friends, as if his image had become "poor Yang" overnight.
Zachary said, "I laughed a lot when I watched it with Erin yesterday", and Robert Downey Jr. said, "Ignore the critics, I'm going crazy when I hear these mocking voices at your age, and I drugged myself with drugs; Joshua said, "It's definitely a good movie, needless to say!" Will Smith, Michael Pitt, Fat Harry, ...... "There are no exact box office figures for the 12th yet, but you don't have to worry, the situation is good!" Mark Slunt has no consolation, they have already talked about this possibility, and the box office is the key to the success or failure of "TDP".
"I'm not worried, it's a very popular subject. Wang Yang's review as he looked at the screen read: "The story is full of deception, Prada is one of the sponsors of "TDP", and these huge industry advertising expenses have affected its critique of fashion. In other words, scolding the fashion industry for not scolding enough and not being ruthless enough, he shook his head and sighed: "These movie reviews are so funny." β
There is a degree to everything, frantically scolding and ridiculing the fashion industry regardless of whether the point of view is right or not, the influence brought by this strongly inclined commercial film will never be as good as the current objective evaluation, because the box office base of the former will not be high, but the latter can make tens of millions of viewers start to think: "My own choice is the most fashionable?"
"Hey, Yang, I watched "TDP" yesterday......" As soon as she heard Rachel's opening remarks on the phone, Wang Yang suddenly slapped her forehead and interrupted her: "It's here again! Rachel, do you want to comfort me?" Rachel laughed heartily and immediately answered: "No, no, no! Seriously, are there any evening dresses and clothes from Paris? In a few days it will be awards season, and I need a few." β
Wang Yang snorted, and almost said, "No, there are not from Paris, it seems that there are a few from Penis", but this joke definitely does not fit! Now I'm joking with these good friends that I'm fine, and I can't stop it. He laughed and said, "ELL, it seems that there are a few pieces, but my number can drown you." But seriously. He wondered, "What's going on?!, why does everyone think I need comfort?"
"Don't be sad, okay?" Rachel's tone was very gentle, and Wang Yang said helplessly: "The problem is that I don't." Rachel chuckled softly, "Unless you're a robot, I don't believe you're not a little upset." Do you know what happened to me last year when "Transform into a Hot Girl" was beaten all over the floor by "The Hangover" and everyone said 'Stupid Rachel'? I covered myself with a pillow and cried. β
Wang Yang was surprised: "Oh my God, I'm so sorry, really?" But at that time, she seemed to be fine, very happy!
"It's not like a kid crying, I mean I was very uncomfortable at that time, was it?" Rachel smiled, sometimes emotions suddenly came up, and it was difficult for her to control herself, she laughed, "So I'm sure you're sad too." Wang Yang scratched his forehead and said, "Are you sad, the anger is getting bigger and bigger, they are too unjust." Rachel comforted and persuaded: "Don't think about it, you can't satisfy everyone, this is an unbearable burden! No matter what others say, you keep yourself, this is what I want to say to you." β
"OK, I will! Thank you, Rachel!" Although she couldn't see it, Wang Yang nodded heavily, her heart was full of emotion, these old friends and good friends who have gone through many years together, have helped him, trusted him and even liked him, have had common laughter and joy, common struggle, just like Rachel, many things have nothing to do with interests, just friends. It's just that there are so many good friends who care about him, and it's a good feeling!
Hung up Rachel's call, Wang Yang looked at the time on the computer, what has Jessica been doing for so long? He was closing those movie review pages, and was about to ask her if she was going shopping for newlywed supplies, when he suddenly heard the bathroom door open, and then "hey", he turned his head to look, and suddenly laughed madly: "Wow, wow! hahahaha......
Jessica stood by the doorway, her hair in a Beatles bobo hairstyle with a ponytail tied at the back, but to his laughter, she was holding a "guitar"! No wonder there was a strange sound, she removed the white toilet seat inside, and removed a mop rod, and somehow fixed them into a "toilet guitar".
"Hahaha! How are you?!" Wang Yang leaned forward and leaned back with laughter, completely unable to stop her voice, she often has this kind of funny horse, so now this one, is it to comfort him and tease him?
"Today I'm going to sing a song for you. Jessica smiled brightly, and her heart was happy and sweet to see his reaction, she gently knocked on the toilet seat, looked at him with her eyes, and slowly walked over, while singing "Hey-Jude" softly: "Hey, Judy, don't be down." Sing a sad song to soothe your mood and remember to let her into your heart, then your life will start to be beautiful......"
Listening to her loving and tender singing, although the clatter of the guitar was out of rhythm, Wang Yang's laughter gradually stopped, and he was full of the urge to hug her, he stood up and smiled softly: "You have always been in my heart." β
"I don't know what to say. Jessica stopped singing with a smile, reached out and touched his face, and laughed to herself, "You know I'm a beer-only Texan, and I don't know how to tell you, 'Anyway, be happy!' and I'll always support you and love you." She raised her left hand to show off the ring, and continued to tap the toilet seat: "Hey, Judy, don't be afraid......"
"You are destined to chase her, get her ......" Wang Yang felt a hot current in his eyes, and sang softly, watching her gently shake her body and enjoy it, he couldn't stand the emotion! He stretched out his hand and smiled: "Please, give me the guitar!" I'll sing. β
"Whenever you feel pain. Jessica's singing stopped abruptly, and she hurriedly hugged the guitar and walked away: "Why do you want to give it to you? I sing it well! Hey, Judy, bear with it!" Wang Yang smiled and reached out to chase after her: "I know why you became Avril! That's because this guitar is a legendary treasure, and if I get it, I can surpass Paul McCartney!
"No! I found out! Don't carry the whole world on your shoulders-", "OK, don't give it to me, I'll carry you on my shoulders!"
From the bedroom to the living room, there was a burst of laughter and shouting.
More than half of the voices in the film critics said that "The Devil Wears Prada" is a mediocre bad movie, and it will not become a blockbuster, and the magic Yang will encounter word-of-mouth and box office double Waterloo is just around the corner, but among these doubts, the box office data on the 12th is out, the box office data on the 13th is out, and the box office data on the 14th is out...... The box office rankings for the first weekend of the Christmas schedule are out, and the performance of "TDP" really makes people see no precursor to a box office waterloo.
"What!!How did you do it? Didn't you say that Wang Yang was going to be finished?"
