Chapter 309: I'm Beginning to Miss Him (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

β€œCUTοΌβ€γ€β€œAction!”…… Time passed in a hurry to the beginning of June, and after more than two months of busyness, the well-prepared "Firefly" successfully completed the shooting of the studio part. During the period, there were laughter and quarrels, and the quarrels were naturally due to creative differences, and Joss Whedon tried his best to complete the work Wang Yang instructed, put forward his own opinions and learn about filmmaking, which was not the most "unsuitable"; similar to "District 9", Wang Yang and Robert Downey Jr. had many arguments.

Although the director is the biggest on the set, the disagreement on the details will never stop, and the other leading actors either obey Wang Yan, or have a great degree of freedom, that is, when Wang Yang and Donnie stand together, neither of them will let go of each other. But now one is a married man, the other is a middle-aged man who has found the third spring in his life, and both women are on the set, so the fight situation that didn't make Heath Ledger headache and annoying happened, and the two brothers solved it well.

After leaving the studio, the crew of "Firefly" officially began filming on location, and there are many locations on the table, such as Texas, Canada, China, etc...... May 21-27 North American weekly box office champion fell on the hands of "Shrek 2", which set a record of 4163 theaters in the first week of opening with a record of 143 million US dollars, beating "Ice Age 2", "Troy", "Van Helsing" and other films, after all, "Shrek" three years ago has a super high popularity of 480 million global box office, coupled with Paramount's abundant publicity resources, and the excellence of the film itself, this sequel tops "Ice River 2" It is not surprising that this result was accomplished.

Later, "Shrek 2" won the weekly champion from May 28 to June 3, increasing by 111 million, and the total box office in North America reached 276 million, and the second place belonged to the new disaster movie "The Day After Tomorrow" released by Fox, the 125 million production of the blizzard collected 100.6 million box office in 3,425 theaters, but it received 45%, 43% fresh and 57% liked the overall rotten reviews, Victoria Snyder of "Film Review" commented: " God treats every human being fairly in the face of nature's catastrophe, but why does the audience keep laughing. ”

There is also "Ice Age 2" in the screening hall that keeps laughing, even if "Shrek 2" is shining, the children have not forgotten this group of cute prehistoric animals, in the past two weeks, it has been taking care of itself in the box office harvest of the closing stage of the release, 31.16 million, 17.44 million, and its North American box office reached 179.8 million. Overseas, its momentum effect is even stronger than "Shrek 2", from 305.9 million to 424.9 million after two weeks, with a total global box office of 604.7 million, and the Flame & Blue Sky train has entered a luxury club.

This is also the third 600 million box office film released by the Flames, the first two being "District 9" with 765 million and "The Hangover" with 617 million.

As for "The New York Moment," there are only 605 theaters left to reluctantly execute the signed screening contract, and its performance in four weeks is $8.67 million. It is worth mentioning that MGM lost panties in another movie, and the production cost of 16 million is probably a test of the waters, but "The Hangover" is only 25 million, and its new R-rated comedy "Unprecedented Flying in the Sky" this week only received 6.23 million box office in 1,566 theaters, with three Rotten Tomatoes indicators of 18%, 15%, and 45% respectively.

"The patchwork thing will never lack real humor, it just has some stereotypical old-fashioned outrageous sexuality. The Washington Post's Ann Honeyday put it this way, and the Toronto Star's Jeff Pevere put in a barrage of bad words: "sloppy, uneven, vulgar, shallow, and often ridiculous." Peter Hartlaub of the San Francisco Chronicle dismissively said, "The food is tasteless, from start to finish, it only makes one wonder why there is a 60-second boring comedy in a minute." ”…… Since the birth of "The Hangover", it has not only revived the R-rated comedy market, but also raised their appreciation and requirements by several notches, Lauren D, who scored half a star, wrote: "Very, very unfortunate things happened, I watched this movie. It's on my list of the 5 worst movies I've ever watched (Juno is the best), it's not funny, it's boring hell, my brother thinks it's hilarious, but he's an idiot. ”

"If you can scream at a big ass, then the whole movie is humor. Christopherhenry29 said this, and Anthony F said impatiently: "I really want this plane to explode." Anonymous-A seemed frightened: "What the hell! It's horrible!" Nick-X also gave half a star and mocked, "Is MGM crazy? Is it trying to go bankrupt or what? This movie isn't a comedy, not even an ass movie." The only reason it can be funny is that Wonder Young is here to clean up the mess. Claire said, "Trust me, it's more fun to take out the 'The Hangover' DVD you've watched five times and 'Juno' ten times and watch it again than to watch this pile of shit." ”…… After watching "Unprecedented Flying After" for the sake of film criticism, Claire immediately did "detoxification", went home and took out the "Hangover" DVD disc and dragged it to watch some highlight clips, and had a good laugh. It's just that like many people, despite the excitement and popularity of the summer vacation, she began to miss the magic Yang a little, but not only did he not have a new comedy released, but he didn't even attend this year's MTV Movie Awards.

The nominees for this year's 13th MTV Movie Awards were announced on April 26, and last year's hit "MIT-21-TEAM" was shortlisted for four awards for Best Picture, Best Actress (Natalie Portman), Best Screen Team (MIT-21-TEAM), and Best Breakthrough Actor (Daniel Wu); Four nominations for Best Screen Team (Jessica Alba/Meryl Streep/Emily Blunt) and Best Breakthrough Actress (Emily Blunt).

With 8 nominations for two films, Wonder Young seems to have once again proved himself as the popularity king of the MTV Awards, from 18 to 24 years old, he has always controlled the elements chased by young people, and this year's single film leader is "Pirates of the Caribbean" with 6 nominations.

"The award for Best Screen Team went to ......MIT-21-TEAM!!"

As Keira Knightley, who was in charge of presenting the awards on the stage, made an announcement, the audience and guests in the Shellan Theatre immediately cheered and applauded. The award-winning crowd happily walked onto the stage, and although several people from the "Firefly" crew were not in attendance, "21" also had Natalie Portman, Alexis Bledell, Jay Baruchel, and "TDP" Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt attended tonight's ceremony recording.

Accompanied by applause, the beautifully dressed and handsome Natalie trio stepped onto the fanciously decorated and brightly lit stage, took the popcorn trophy from Keira Knightley, and stood in front of the microphone to look at the thousands of spectators in the audience. Natalie, the "big sister" holding the trophy, sighed lightly with emotion, but the three of them didn't feel any joy, the whole audience just looked at them with a smile, there was no magic Yang, can they be funny?

"It's such an honor. Natalie said with a smile, she didn't have any funny thoughts, let alone the idea of "I want to be even funnier than Wang Yang", not weak, she didn't have much talent and enthusiasm to host performances on this stage. Looking at the faces in front of her, she smiled and said, "Uh, hehe! Thank you very much for Wonder Young, without him we wouldn't have our team that is even cooler than Antarctica." Alexis and Baruchel next to him both smiled and nodded.

Ben Stiller/Owen Wilson, Adam Sandler/Drew Barrymore of "50 First Loves", who lost the award in the audience, are not unconvinced, not to mention that MIT-21-TEAM has an advantage in numbers, it is indeed a classic young team in film history. And the audience who voted for the results were very satisfied, if they didn't hand over this popcorn trophy to that passionate, talented, and cutting-edge talent team, then what would they be doing here?

"But he did the least cool thing, he got married. Natalie's words still made the audience chuckle, and Juno was not a stuffy person. Natalie shook her trophy lightly: "Maybe it's the coolest, he did something that surprised the whole world." I wish that guy and his only teammate eternal happiness!" There was a loud applause and whistle at the Syrannomy Theater, and Alexis, who was also applauding, was a little confused, how did he feel a little sour?

"Hehehehe...... "Natalie laughed a little silly, she subconsciously glanced at Keira Knightley next to her, if Wang Yang was here, they would definitely be teased. Remembering the previous call, Natalie smiled: "Before attending this ceremony tonight, I called and asked Young, 'If we win the award, do you have anything to say?' he said, 'Of course, I'm most afraid that this movie will make those kids drop out of school and go to play at 21 o'clock, right? ’”

The audience, who were mostly young people, immediately pricked up their ears with interest, and wondered if Yang had anything to say? Hearing Natalie imitate Wang Yang's tone and rhythm, she said solemnly: "Tell those children that if you want to play well at 21 o'clock, you must be admitted to MIT! Not even at that Harvard two miles away!"

The crowd in the Syrannomy Theater was laughing happily again, and the guy didn't show up but still brought a punchline. Natalie said "thank you" and gave the microphone to Alexis, Ali happily expressed her gratitude: "Thank you Wang Yang, thank you to everyone in the crew, thank you to my parents, they have provided me with a lot of confidence and help since I was a child......" What she didn't expect was that because she put Wang Yang at the beginning and didn't say "thank you to my boyfriend", Joshua was jealous for a long time, and let Jessica, who drew a sketch of the baby room, scolded inexplicably: "Keep an eye on your husband, TOMADE!" Jessica's response was, "Idiot!"

And watching "MIT-21-TEAM" win the best screen team, Drew Barrymore couldn't help but think about the upcoming starring new film "Lucky Player", last summer's "21" swept the world and set off a poker boom, this year's "Lucky Player" should be able to continue the charm of 21 points, right?

After the recording of the MTV Awards ceremony on June 5th, the results of this year's awards were announced, with Sean William Scott of "American Pie 3" winning the best dance scene, Uma Thurman and Chiaki Kuriyama of "Kill Bill", the best kiss falling to Owen Wilson/Carmen Electroxia/Amy Smart in "The Police Pair", Lucy Liu of "Kill Bill" winning the best villain, Sean Ashmore ("X-Men 2"), Lindsay Lohan ("Hot Mom and Girls") Johnny Depp (Pirates of the Caribbean, Uma Thurman (Kill Bill) took home Best Actor/Actress, Jack Black (School of Rock) took home Best Comedy Performance, and The Lord of the Rings 3 unsurprisingly won Best Picture and Best Action Scene.

"Haha!" Watching the MTV Awards spoof film on the TV screen, Evelyn on the living room couch was overjoyed, this film has "MIT-21-TEAM" and "TDP" and "The Hangover 2" released on June 25, looking for targets who disappeared after the carnival in Boston, Las Vegas, Paris and other places, Fantastic Jan, Jessica Alba, and Natalie Portman take turns to appear, one keeps changing beautiful clothes, and the other keeps changing makeup...... Suddenly she burst out laughing again: "Haha!"

It's just that although this is also very funny and funny, and the scene is still so lively and joyful, Evelyn always feels that there is something missing from this award ceremony, she shrugged her shoulders, and it is not difficult to think: Wang Yang did not show up to present the award or accept the award. As a fan of his, she's really starting to miss this guy's guest host.

This mood is not only for her, but also for countless fans, who miss his stage performance, and miss his summer vacation movies full of surprises, excitement or touching. And there are many people from Yahoo and other entertainment media, know the latest news, and now Magic Young is leading the team to shoot the location of "Firefly" in Alberta, Canada, and make efforts for next year's summer vacation, Alberta is a famous "western" filming location, "Brokeback Mountain" is one of them, which proves that "Firefly" is going to take the style of interstellar cowboy.

If the sequel "The Hangover 2" has nothing to do with it, then you can find an Executive-producer (planning producer) in the cast list of "Furious Speed".

From the fall of 2002 to the summer of 2004, the production cost of "Furious Speed" has been set at 70 million, and it has been a long way to determine the use of newcomer Chinese director Justin Lin to direct, and the use of newcomer screenwriter Chris Morgan to handle the script, and to participate in the revision and guidance of the script many times; The half-red old muscular man Dawn Jusen is the leading actor...... the team of "Raging Speed" is built by Wang Yang one by one, although he is not an executive producer, not a director or a screenwriter, but he is the real founder behind the scenes.

This is a cop action drag racing movie, with gunfights, explosions, drag racing, muscular hunks and sexy beauties, and the story tells the story of the protagonist's gang planning and carrying out a shocking robbery in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Because of Wang Yang's advice and inspiration, because the director and screenwriter is Lin Yibin & Chris Morgan, "Furious Speed" can be said to be born in advance with immature techniques, but even more crazy "Fast and Furious 5", the commercial pinnacle of drag racing robbery action films.

Because of the pursuit of truth and intensity, the crew crashed more than 200 cars during the filming of "Furious Speed", crashed and repaired and crashed, and every scene was full of force and speed explosions. And its poster slogan is: "A thrill of the extreme." ”

Flame has high hopes for "Furious Speed", thinking that it is not only a single film success but a long series, and the work in its promotion is naturally not sloppy, and the most successful trick is to put huge three-dimensional posters on the exterior walls of street buildings in Los Angeles, New York and other places, creating an amazing effect of sports cars flying up the building, some are photos and uploads of the public, and some are viral marketing of Flame, this whimsical "Furious Speed" three-dimensional poster can be seen everywhere on the Internet.

However, because of 911, this poster has also received criticism from many people, who described it as "imitation of terrorist attacks" and "frightening", but in this way, "Raging Speed" has more news reports, which makes the propaganda effect more successful.

When the curtain came down on June 4-10, the newly released "Harry Potter 3: Prisoner of Azkaban" in 3,855 theaters won the weekly championship without suspense, but the opening box office was not as strong as "Shrek 2", only 123 million, while "Shrek 2", "The Day After Tomorrow", "Ice Age" and other films continued to occupy the charts.

Now the main force in the cinema is "Harry Potter 3", "Shrek 2", "Glacier 2", which is suitable for children/teenagers/all ages, "Glacier 2", "The Day After Tomorrow", and "Mean Girl", "Van Helsing" and other films with less than 1,000 theaters left may succeed or fail, but they can no longer meet the sensory needs of young people and adults, and "Troy" is just struggling to move forward. So this week, starting June 11, there is the sci-fi adventure "Star Saga 2" starring the muscular man Vin Diesel, "Copy Wife" starring Nicole Kidman, "Raging Speed" and Warner's "Lucky Player", as well as Fox's comeback live-action animated film "Garfield".

Who will win the championship with the 5 new films, or will "Harry Potter 3" win the championship in a row?

Originally, "Furious Speed" should be a big hit with the halo of "Magical Young", but the Waterloo and New Chinese directors of the same type of "Fast and Furious 2", the new team are full of ignorance; "Lucky Player" has become a classic film that perfectly combines love & card counting in the overwhelming publicity, and it vows to take over the banner of Magical Yang, lead 21 to be a dark horse again, and even surpass "MIT-21-TEAM"; Can Star Legends 2 start a new sci-fi series?

On June 11, all five films were released in North America, with "Furious Speed" soaring to the big screen in 3,025 theaters, and "Lucky Player" in the screening room on the other side with 3,051.

"Which movie is good to watch?" In movie theater ticket halls across North America, many couples on a weekend date look at the poster wall to make temporary choices, choices that may affect the mood of the whole night or even the whole weekend for a long time.
