The waiter passed the mushroom cream soup, and after eating some staples such as steak and sandwiches, everyone began to eat a few seafood main dishes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Now it was Jetli and John Woo's turn to open their eyes. I saw Lu Ming chatting with the guests fluently and in authentic English, while his subordinates were flying, and when he saw a lobster meat picked out, he took care of the lady first, put the whole plate of meat in front of a blonde beauty next to him, and then put the whole lobster shell together and handed it to the waiter.

Then Lu Ming himself used eight crabs to deal with a crab, and the whole crab was eaten, and he didn't even touch a little oil star on his hands, and he was still talking and laughing. Several of the guests had a great impression of Lu Mingden, and felt that this young man was not only well-behaved, but also had clearly seen the world, and had a good taste for these Americans, who had always been unruly.

Lu Ming smiled secretly in his heart, to know that as long as he downloads a system in his mind, he will definitely be familiar with it for a while, as long as he wants to do it piano guitar chef racing although he can't become a master general level will definitely have. He is a little deliberately pretentious, because he knows very well in his heart that Jetli must be the biggest name today, Mingfa Group's banquet today has an accurate and strong purpose, which seems to be represented by him, he is helping himself to broaden his social horizons and lay the foundation for the future, especially when the premiere of the new film is in a few days, how can it be done if he doesn't perform well?

Lu Ming's mouth was full of fragrance when he ate this meal, and he swept away the fatigue caused by the plane, the only fly in the ointment was that he couldn't come to a bottle of Moutai or Fenjiu, or Qingdao Chunsheng, Lu Ming liked Huaxia wine to be able to have a drink, and he was a little drunk in his head, but what would be more inspired.

After eating for more than an hour, everyone was in high spirits, and the waiter served dessert and changed the white wine after the meal. Jetli and John Woo laughed and laughed with a few well-fed American Yankees at the table, and the topic gradually led to the Hollywood movies that had been released recently.

Jetli glanced at Lu Ming, smiled slightly, and said to the crowd: "My little brother has been very diligent in the past two years, not only acting well, but also has many unique insights into movies.

“verygod!” Several guests unanimously agreed that since they had eaten and drunk for nothing, there would be no respect for the host's opinion. In this kind of scene, Lu Ming is no matter how crazy his temperament is, he can't help but be a little frightened at this time, and hurriedly said humbly: "How dare I get an axe in this little bit of a well frog opinion." If you seniors are to come up with questions and assessments, you don't dare to show off your lips and tongues so plainly. ”

John Wu smiled slightly: "You just use "The Mummy Returns/Tomb Robbery 2" 、.......、 "Screaming 2、...... and "American Pie 2", these blockbuster films with a box office exceeding the 100 million yuan mark as the title, compare the advantages and disadvantages, talk about it, please give the most expert advice from Hollywood today. ”

Lu Ming's heart moved, but he didn't expect Wu Yusen to have such a wide range of topics as soon as he opened his mouth. These films are indeed the most representative movies in Hollywood this year. Of course, the most representative is mainly in terms of box office, in terms of artistry, these movies are relatively boring, and there are no masterworks.

Lu Ming looked at everyone present with the peripheral light of his eyes, and said with a smile: "I have watched these movies six or seven times on average, and I have also done some superficial analysis, even if I asked you seniors for advice today." ”

Lu Ming's words are true, these movies have been watched in his mind, and when he has nothing to do during this time, he has not looked for Hollywood movies to watch, that is, compared with the world blockbuster in his mind, for this reason the evil monster also complained that the transmission speed is fast for a long time, and a movie is only a few seconds, if it weren't for the script of Baidu Encyclopedia and the Internet pickup, the evil monster couldn't send thousands of movies to Lu Ming at once, and Lu Ming was not surprised by many of the same movies in Hollywood, Huaxia Mingfa Group is not the same as many song movies in his mind, so Lu Ming is really familiar with these box office hit movies, because the box office is money, can he be careful.

"The fantasy action film "The Mummy Returns" is the opening film of the box office war in the summer of 010 million, with an investment of 100 million US dollars, and the film uses a lot of computer special effects to produce breathtaking scenes such as the bloody battle between the ancient Egyptian orc army and the human army, and swept the box office of 200 million US dollars throughout the summer. But compared to the previous episode, "The Mummy Returns" relies too much on stunts, lacks due creativity and the comedy of the previous episode, which makes people feel tired in the face of visual bombardment.

The action comedy "Rush Hour 2" co-starring Jetli and Krystac has received a mediocre response in China, but it is very popular with European and American audiences, and the national box office has also opened more than 200 million red plates, becoming the most successful action comedy series after the "Boom" series.

Although the plot of "Jurassic Park 3", which cost 92 million US dollars, is weak, thanks to the rapid development of computer special effects, the visual effects are extremely amazing, so it is still recognized by the audience, and the box office in the United States is 180 million.

The comedy "American Pie 2", which reflects the ** view of American teenagers, was also a big winner in the summer, with a total box office of more than $140 million for this 30 million cost comedy. And "Strange Doctor Doolittle 2" starring black comedy star Eddie Mofei also exceeded 100 million yuan at the box office in the United States.

Except for the youth comedy "Screaming 2" which failed miserably due to its vulgar funny methods, the box office of the other five sequel films has surpassed the previous episodes to varying degrees, which is believed to be a shot in the arm for the studios, and more sequels will continue in the future. ”

Looking at the people on the table listening carefully, Lu Ming smiled slightly and continued: "There are several major characteristics of this year's Hollywood summer movies: first, there are many sequels, second, there are many disappointments in blockbusters, third, big stars are absent, and fourth, small soldiers have made many meritorious contributions.

Some of the biggest blockbusters of this summer's hype campaign, whether it's Disney's $140 million war film "Pearl Harbor" or Fox's sci-fi blockbuster "Battle for the Planet of the Apes," can all disappoint us. "Pearl Harbor" has good war scenes, but the boring love scenes that take up most of the space are difficult to sit for 3 hours, but this kind of super blockbuster can still attract audiences to watch and scold, "Jane" grossed nearly 200 million in the United States, and the DVD released only one week on the market, sold 3.7 million units, and made a profit of $130 million. "Battle of the Planet of the Apes" directed by ghost director Tim Burton was mixed after its release, and many fans were dissatisfied with the inexplicable ending, and even made people suspect that the director couldn't figure out his thoughts and did the first thing, because there was news that the film was still being revised a week before its release.

Paramount's "Tomb Raider" is a very ferocious film, based on the popular PC game, the heroine Laura can be said to be a digital virtual character that has been popular in the computer industry for several years, starring Hollywood popular actress Angelina Jolie in this role, is undoubtedly the biggest highlight of this film, but the plot of the film is empty and the story is unbearable. Final Fantasy, a sci-fi animated film based on the famous Japanese video game, was the biggest failure of the year, with the $100 million blockbuster grossing just over $30 million in the United States.

The failure of these four films once again reminds filmmakers that they must pay attention to the enjoyment of the plot of the film, otherwise the feast with visual effects will be tasteless.

And Steven Spielberg and the late film master Stanley Kubrick's dual style of science fiction epic "Artificial Intelligence" It is the most acclaimed blockbuster, but the very high box office expectations form a strong contrast with the dignified theme of the film, the audience obviously lacks a serious and serious theme surrounded by commercial blockbusters, so the film quietly went down in silence, and the overall revenue of the box office in the United States was less than 80 million, which surprised many people, but most of the media still gave the film a high enough evaluation, but it was born at the wrong time, it was a non-war crime, maybe this film will be released at a later time, and it can win a better ending. ”

After saying this, Lu Ming paused slightly, with a strange look in his eyes, and said aloud with his fingers lightly tapping on the table: "What is it that causes Hollywood blockbusters to "slip in an all-round way"? Personally, I think that too many remakes and the strong development of the DVD market are the crux of the problem. (To be continued.) )
