Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Plan Begins
In Los Angeles, Troy not only won the game against the Wildcats, but he also received an invitation from a college scout to participate in their college practice game on Saturday in Los Angeles. Gabriel's academic exchange in San Francisco also caught the attention of a university president, who invited her to dinner on Saturday.
Everything looks like it's going well.
But at this time, Kelsey suddenly appeared in front of Gabriel, and Ryan appeared in front of Troy. They explained to the two protagonists that Xia Pei, the main force of the school's drama and dance troupe, and others were all banned, and in the next final, they would face the strong opponent of the Wang Dog Team.
And the time of the song and dance competition coincided with the time of the college meeting of Troy and Gabriel!
Both Troy and Gabriel face an unprecedented dilemma – should they risk their future for the sake of Shape's unkind friend?
Troy's father and Gabriel's mother were vehemently opposed to giving up college opportunities to compete in the school's theater and dance troupe. What's more, without any preparation and talent, it is impossible for them to defeat the Wang Dog Group.
This is an entrance to the real world, not a school club battle like before. What's more, it's still for a Xia Pei who doesn't have a good relationship with them!
Troy and Gabriel spoke on the phone, and the two exchanged heartfelt words and encouragement, and finally made a decision.
In the semi-finals, the performance of the Wang Dog Troupe was quite eye-catching, and the cool and avant-garde singing and dancing performance won a full house.
Neither Troy nor Gabriel were present at the invitational tournament for college scouts and at the conversation with the president of the university. And they all appeared together at the competition of the theater and dance troupe!
Not only did they show up, but they also brought a brand new show!
It turned out that they had rehearsed and redesigned after the previous competition and science exchange meeting, and the previously annoying Xia Pei also participated in the design, and the combination of her and Kelsie collided with unexpected sparks.
The performance of the Eastern High School Song and Dance Troupe, which finally made a comeback, surpassed the Wang Dog Troupe in one fell swoop and became the ultimate champion!
And the scouts who are optimistic about Troy and the president of the university against Gabriel were also pulled to the scene of the song and dance competition by Chape and Lane with the help of their parents' connections. Although they were originally very angry about Troy and Gabriel's absence, they changed their minds when they saw the cabaret competition at Eastern High School.
In the end, Troy and Gabriel also got a chance to make up for it, and the movie ended happily.
Although it seems to be a bit old-fashioned plot, under the careful arrangement of several gold medal screenwriters, the story of "Youth Musical" is full of fresh interest.
After the premiere, the word-of-mouth of "Youth Musical" immediately spread. Although IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes did not have the influence that came later, with the recommendation of the portal discussion forum and bloggers, the film quickly spread among young people and even the general public.
"Variety" Weekly said, "The amazement of "Song and Dance Youth 1" still makes us vivid, and "Song and Dance Youth 2", which is better than the blue, has already arrived in front of us. This year's summer vacation belongs to young people!"
The New York Times praised: "The grander singing and dancing scenes of "High School Musicals 2" cannot hide the wonderful story, and after breaking away from Sid Leonhardt, this film has not lost its original charm." This not only made the young audience cheer, but also gave us more expectations for Fire Lion Pictures. ”
And "The New Yorker" praised it without hesitation: "If it is said that in "Youth Musical" 1, the film reflects the brave pursuit of dreams and love by young people. Then "Youth Musical" shows everyone the meaning of sacrifice and growth, this excellent film in the summer file, not only satisfies the young people's singing and dancing impulses. ”
"It's also a good story full of emotion - especially before the cabaret competition, the main character Troy said to his father: 'If I have to sacrifice myself to help my friends, then I will!', I have never seen such touching lines in a youth idol movie. ”
As for the West Coast home's "Los Angeles Times", in addition to praising the film, it set its sights on the two protagonists - "Chris Pine and Jessica Alba, who were unknown two years ago, have now become the hottest young actors." Among young men and women, their popularity even overshadowed Leonardo, who was a box office bomb at the end of the century.
Chris Pine can act, sing and dance, and is really the best among young Hollywood actors. And Jessica Alba's sweet and lovely appearance and energetic dancing posture make her far superior to actresses of the same age.
A film series has created two promising Hollywood stars, and the future of Fire Lion Pictures will shine as brightly as these two rising stars. ”
In the rave reviews, the box office results of "Youth Musical" have skyrocketed as much as its popularity!
Under the pressure of "Mission Impossible 2" jointly created by Tom Tom and John Woo, "Mission: Impossible 2" broke through the premiere results of its predecessor last year in the first three days of the first weekend, and beat "Mission: Impossible 2", which was released for more than a month, with $46.17 million, and landed the North American box office champion!
Under such a boom, within three weeks of "Youth Musical" 2, the North American box office exceeded 100 million. Achieved real applause and applause!
The re-success of "Youth Musical" is not only the significance of the box office for Sid and Fire Lion, but more importantly, the "Song and Dance Film Project" with "Youth Musical" as the vanguard. It's finally time to start implementing!
Anne Fletcher, the royal choreographer of the "Youth Musical" series and directed by Anne Fletcher, will take on the responsibility of opening up a new series of songs and dances after the end of next year's "Youth Musical" 3.
At the same time, the first half of the year's hit "Hannah Montana" starring Lindsay will also launch a second season next year. At the same time, Fire Lion TV has also begun to prepare for the launch of the TV movie "Rock and Roll Summer Camp" series on the small screen from next year.
With the success of "Youth Musical" 2, the entire "Song and Dance Film Project" has finally begun to be fully rolled out!
If a successful film series is the foundation for the long-term survival and healthy development of a film company. (Just like the Mission: Impossible franchise is to Paramount, and the Star Wars franchise is to Fox).
Then the low-cost and high-yield "Song and Dance Film Plan" planned by Side will allow Fire Lion Pictures to truly play the locomotive effect that a film company should have, so that both legs of film and television can play a real role, and it will also allow the surrounding industrial chain of Fire Lion Group to play an effective role.
