On Friday, October 17, "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" hit 3,016 theaters in North America, while "Dance Out of My Life" also had 2,951.

Although there is no trace of Wang Yang in the credits, the hardcore of the flame song and dance film, many ordinary audience fans still walked into the theater with interest, starting from "Song and Dance Youth" in 99, it has become a habit for many people to watch at least one song and dance film every year. "Dance Out of My Life" also has a flame brand, with the director of "Sweetheart" Anne Fletcher and the system setting that has been continued, as well as the new handsome men and beauties Channing Tatum and Jenna Devan who came out of nowhere, which is much more attractive than other youth song and dance films.

Wang Yang and Jessica attended the premiere of "Dance Out of My Life" at the Shores Theatre, giving Anne Fletcher a cheer, while attracting more media fans and bringing enough publicity. I have to say that this is a bit of a "limelight", this is the first public prime minister after the two are engaged, suits, evening dresses, engagement rings, sweet smiles...... "click" sound continues to sound, the cameras in the hands of reporters emit a dazzling flash, they are all determined to take a good picture, and all kinds of interview questions have not stopped: "How does it feel to be engaged?", "Jessica, how many carats of diamonds does your ring have?, it looks small, Jan, this seems to be very stingy!", " Jan, it's always rumored that you're a master dancer, but no one has ever seen your dance moves, is that true......?" Neither of them intended to steal the limelight, so they stayed on the red carpet and interview area for a while, greeted Anne Fletcher and others before walking into the theater backstage, and soon came to the screening hall to sit down.

Soon there was no vacancy in the audience, and the crew, reporters, and audiences made the screening hall full of people, and the screening was about to start while everyone was laughing and talking, like all flame movies, only the light sound of wings fluttering could be heard in the quiet environment, moths and butterflies fluttering on the big screen, and "Step-Up" began! The B-song and the hot dances are so pleasing to the eyes of the young audience that they can't help but whistle, but the critics don't react, they look silent.

"I've always envied you dancing guys, who must have lost a lot of people when you were in school. Looking at Jenna Diwan's charming and spicy dance on the big screen, Wang Yang smiled and patted Jessica's palm next to her, she rolled her eyes and said, "God knows I only started taking dance classes when I was 17 years old." She curled the corners of her mouth and smiled, leaning over to suppress her voice: "I know you're actually praising yourself, you're the best, whatever's dancing champion." Wang Yang held her hand and shook it gently, and said with a smile: "Thank you, I love you very much." ”

Whether Wang Yang is a dance champion or not, the fans and audiences in the screening hall don't know, but from the promotion of "Step-Up", the dance level of the actors on the screen has reached the professional level, and many supporting roles and fighting enemies are real professional dancers. None of the shots used doubles or any form of post-dubbing, everything had to be as realistic and vivid as possible, which was Anne Fletcher's tough demand, from the "High School Musical" series to "Sweetheart" to "Step-Up".

So in addition to the real professional dancers in this screening room, the person with the highest level of dancing is most likely Jessica, who only started learning dance at the age of 17, and then has been with her throughout her adolescent years, and still insists on practicing to this day.

Until the final scene of the film falls, the ending song sounds, and the screen rolls up the credits, the Sylangor Theatre suddenly resounded with a burst of applause from the audience, and the young audience whispered to their friends. Wang Yang and Jessica also stood up and applauded, giving praise to Fletcher and the crew.

In fact, Wang Yang has already seen this theatrical version, and thinks it's OK to let the flame announce that he will produce "Dance Out of My Life 2"; he has also seen the future original "Step-Up" in his mind, "Sweetheart" has given Anne Fletcher a lot of experience, compared to the current version is more exciting and novel, but it still seems a little weak and old-fashioned in terms of storytelling and story expression, but as always, the exquisite and attentive dance scenes are enough to make the audience have a happy and satisfying evening.

"Thank you, thank you!" Anne Fletcher, dressed in a white dress, smiled, these applause, these must be so beautiful, she clapped her palms and looked at the magic Yang, only to see him smile and give a thumbs up! Fletcher also gave a thumbs up and continued to applaud and thank: "Thank you for your efforts!"

"It's not bad, it's not as exciting and fun as 'Sweetheart', and of course, there's no magic Young. As the audience in the theater auditorium withdrew, Claire and Janet walked down the aisle to the auditorium, thinking about the 100-minute film, and she said, "But it's okay, the theme is inspirational, and the dances are really professional." Jenny nodded in agreement: "Yes, there is no magic Yang, it is just missing something, no surprises." ”

"We like to call that talent, and a good director can energize a film!" Claire said as she came out into the hallway, making hand movements, "You know what? 'Sweetheart' is like a summer ice cream, and now 'Step-Up' might be like an ice cream." What's the point? It doesn't hit your heart, the magic Jan always hits the heart, the great magic Jan !"

Listening to her "I'm professional" tone, Janet said a little unhappily: "It looks like your film review has been published in the newspaper?" Claire laughed a few times and said mysteriously: "You know? I have already submitted articles to several newspapers and magazines, and one newspaper is very interested in me as a 'blog film critic', and I have a good chance of getting a request." Janet suddenly said happily: "Is this true? Wow, congratulations!" The two clapped their hands: "Sure-in!"

The premiere of "Step-Up" was just a night of "leisure", and the next day Wang Yang continued to run forward on the track of his busy life.

"Margaret, don't rush me, I'm thinking...... Wait, there's something wrong with the duration setting for this scene. In the editing room of "The Demon Wears Prada", Wang Yang stood in front of the editing computer, looked at the image on the screen, and said to Margaret: "My request is to highlight Andrea's change in mentality, just now it was too long to have no impact, too short and too late to feel, give Jesse a close-up to try." ”

"As you know, I asked NBC to give us two episodes in a row, so we have an hour to retain viewers, and how much we can keep is up to us. In the "Big Bang Theory" writers' office, Graham Reinham and Bill Prady sat at the round table, listening carefully to Wang Yang, who was standing next to the whiteboard in front of him, and he stretched out one index finger and said: "The first 15 minutes of the first episode, you understand I understand, it is a crucial stage. ”

On the whiteboard, he wrote, "Highlight Sheldon and Leonard's big personality and temperament, throw out 1 or 2 quirks", "Show the identity of a high-IQ scientist", "Look at daily life with scientific theories", "Ordinary people easily KO them, highlight the laughing fruit", and said: "In the first scene, because Leonard's car broke down, just not enough money to take a taxi, and for other reasons, you can add it, they have to take the bus home, what an unlucky day! The appearance of the new neighbor Penny is a reversal." Anyway, Sheldon never takes the bus, he has a cleanliness fetish, obsessive-compulsive disorder, ......"

"The first set of lines is in the bus doorway, where Sheldon and Leonard are arguing over whether to sit or not. Wang Yang rotated his palms and counted: "Sheldon said what bacteria and accident theories, anyway, you can't sit; Leonard is very helpless." Graham and Prady nodded silently, and Wang Yang continued: "But the passengers and drivers in the car were impatient, and the driver closed the door several times and was shouted by Leonard 'Wait, wait', he finally couldn't help it, and knocked out the two scientists in one sentence, OK?"

A "Driver" was written on the whiteboard, and Wang Yang turned to look at the two of them and said, "I will invite an interesting celebrity cameo for this driver role, which will make the audience quickly excited." Okay, in the second scene, Sheldon and Leonard still got on the bus......"

"No, that's not good, this spaceship is too stingy to design! The shape and volume should not be large, because the 'Firefly' spaceship is one of the most backward models, but it is also slightly more imposing in the details of the parts, very rough and cool style! You remember, this ship is not a normal Firefly, because it is a modified spaceship that has been repaired many times, and who is the one who repaired it and modified it?"

In the "Firefly" art office, several large round tables are full of people, and there are laptops, drawing boards, drawing paper and materials on the tables. The art design team of "Firefly" continued most of the team of "District 9", with Kevin Kawanave ("The Dark Knight", "Transformers"), David F. Klassen ("Iron Man" series), as well as new art designer and set designer Kim Sinclair ("Avatar") and Daniel T. Dorance ("Mission Impossible 2", "Serenity", "Fantastic Four 2").

There are also prop master Drew Petrota (Transformers series), set set designer Gordon Sheen (Pirates of the Caribbean 4) and a host of assistants...... This art team is naturally the top of Hollywood and the top of the world.

But Wang Yang still had to express his wishes clearly, and under the gaze of everyone, he said as he walked: "It's Kyle! She has no formal training, no education, nothing, she just relies on her intuition and talent for machinery and equipment to maintain the Tranquility, and she is an innocent girl." So there are a lot of parts on the Tranquility that aren't available on the Firefly model, and Kyle thinks of the Tranquility as her home, and she wants to make it cool, make it handsome, and even equip it with some heavy weapons that shouldn't exist at all. ”

"Captain Marr doesn't understand anything, he doesn't know himself. This is the ...... of the plot" Wang Yang patted David F. Klassen next to him on the shoulder and concluded: "In any case, redesign a special firefly, which is only a regular model just now, of course does not have the 'tranquility' logo in Chinese and English." ”

"Understood. Everyone bowed slightly, and began a new round of firefly spaceship design. Wang Yang exhaled silently, glanced at the all-star team, and recruited a few more core members of Chinese and Asian descent to preside over the art work of Chinese characters, Chinese and oriental elements.

"A heavy punch, beautiful! and then reflexively sweep the legs......" In the warm and bright bedroom, Jessica, who was wearing light blue pajamas, lay sideways on the bed, she supported her head and looked at Wang Yang with a smile, and asked with great interest: "Yang, did you often play with these toys before?" I saw him sitting cross-legged in front of the set up bed table, which was full of small soldier models, as well as A4 paper and pencils.

Wang Yang continued to fiddle with the soldiers, picked up the pencil and drew a few more times, and said with a smile: "Yes, I am, I treat them as actors." Jessica had seen his toy storage at his San Francisco home, and she thought that she could use the idiom "piling up", but not piling up, but putting it away in a neat and orderly manner, but after more than 5 years of reunion, there were not many opportunities to watch him play with toys, and she chuckled: "It's like a baby." ”

"But I'm not playing, I'm designing. Wang Yang turned his head to look at her for a while, and the picture of several camera ideas gradually became clear, and he continued to draw on the paper, and said: "The preliminary material for designing some action scenes is your character Ruiva." ”

It's just preliminary, whether you can fight like that and what the effect is, you have to go through the martial arts action team's attempt to verify and make the entire designed fighting process. So he needs a team of martial arts instructors and martial arts fingers, and many beautiful shots have to be played and designed repeatedly before they come out. As for now, the only way to do this is to act as a team with toys and supplement the process with imagination.

"Oh my God, I'm going to fight so many people!" Jessica's eyes widened with excitement. Wang Yang nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I said a long time ago, Ruiva is one of the best people in that new galaxy, and your strength is super strong...... Check this out. He picked up a Bruce Lee doll wearing a yellow jumpsuit and surrounded Bruce Lee with more than a dozen soldiers.

Jessica blinked suspiciously: "What's wrong?" Wang Yang laughed: "This is you, not Bruce Lee." Oops, you're surrounded!Lots of enemies!Jesse, Jesse, what's going on!?Give you a phone booth!Okay, let's kill Bill, kill them all!Ahh

"You're a BABY!" Jessica laughed and fell on the bed as he kicked those soldiers down one by one with Bruce Lee. She moved to his side, pounded his back with both hands, and shouted with a smile: "Superman is here!" Wang Yang looked down at her, laughed loudly and shouted: "You try again, I kicked you out of bed!" Jessica's hand reached under his armpit: "Come on, see who is good!"

"Ahh......h Stop!" Wang Yang never couldn't stand the tickle the most, and suddenly his hands covered his chest and his whole body shrunk into a ball, screaming and laughing: "It seems that Mark and Cathy's daughter has an itchy buttocks, and in Yang's eyes, she is already a dead person......"

Jessica woke up and was about to sit up quickly, Wang Yang had already opened his hands desperately, revealing his Achilles' heel, he shouted "ah" and turned around and hugged her and pressed her on the bed: "You're going to die-"

Time passed in the busyness and happiness, and soon the screening week from October 17th to 23rd came to an end, "Dance Out of My Life" won the North American championship this week with a box office of 36.58 million, "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" ranked second with 26.45 million, and "Kill Bill Vol.", which was released for two weeks, won the third place with 16.87 million.

Because apparently the audience generally liked it, it was 90% liked on Rotten Tomatoes, and the reviews were full of praise such as "the best dance movie of the year" and "the music and dance are pretty good". With this good reputation, there is no reason why fans of musical and dance films should not take a look, and this championship is expected to eventually create a good result of 70 million to 80 million North American box office.

But in stark contrast to the superb audience likability, critics didn't like the film very much. Of the 85 reviews, only 35% of the reviews are popular and 37% are well-known, and 55 are rotten.

"After "Sweetheart," Fletcher again cleverly blended ballet and hip-hop, but the shoot itself was clumsy, and she still had a long way to go from being a good choreographer to a good director. —Scott Powers, USA Today; The loss of Wang Yang was a heavy blow to Fletcher, with clunky and uninteresting dialogue, clichéd storylines, and some hypocritical preaching. —Roger Moore, The Orlando Sentinel; Don't believe there are stories, just watch them dance. —John Anderson, Newsday;" Fletcher has shown himself to be a talented dancer and a crappy director without drama. —Lisa Rose, Newark Star Chronicle...... Of course, 30 reviews chose Edible, and Kim Williams of Reel Film Review said: "The plot is indeed quite predictable and unsurprising, but the dazzling dancing and some unexpected camera photography make it as spectacular as the sea." ”

In any case, for the $15 million production cost of "Dance Out of My Life", it was a huge commercial success, and it proved that the launch of the second part of Flame Films in 2005 was a serious and confident plan.
