Chapter 189: That Ray of Sunshine

"I wanted to stay and see Justin Chen's Little Sunshine today, and a lot of people told me that I better watch it tomorrow. Phoebe Grant is a software company calculator who now works in Silicon Valley.

The monthly income is quite good, and the only regret is that I don't have a girlfriend yet.

Usually busy with work and his personal activities are relatively small, but he is a standard Lord of the Rings fan.

His character is the kind of person who has work to complete first and then make other plans, but today when "The Lord of the Rings 3" is released, he put his work until after watching the movie.

With the attitude of coming, he also wants to see "Little Sunshine Beauty", which has been bombed indiscriminately on the road signs on TV recently.

"Why? I think it was like a family comedy?"

Phoebe's roommate, Johnson, is an even crazier workaholic and a Lord of the Rings fan.

But his work was not finished today, and he had only just returned.

"Who knows? It sounds like a tragedy.

So I'm back and I'm thinking about whether I want to go when I have time, but The Lord of the Rings 3 is really great. Phoebe Grant walked into the room to start making up the work.

Compared to Phoebe Grant, Johnson cares a lot about movies.

However, he is a fan of blockbusters, and he hardly pays attention to small-budget films.

In his eyes, those works with a cost of less than 30 million must be terrible, and no matter how much others tout him, he will not be interested.

He also knew Chen Tian and the bet of the New York Post, and when he heard Phoebe's words, he could watch it for a day with a movie ticket in the theater.

He couldn't help but have a bold guess, that is, these people who advised others not to watch "Little Sunshine Beauty" after watching the film were probably deliberately arranged.

So. Maybe it will add a lot of box office to the film.

At the beginning, "Little Sunshine Beauty" and "The Lord of the Rings 3" were on the same page. He felt that MGM's choice was very irrational.

In such a situation, I want to have a box office of over 100 million. It's not an easy task.

And now such an arrangement is undoubtedly likely to be as he guessed.

Anyway, after finishing his work, Johnson immediately went online to browse the latest news from fans.

"Can anyone tell me about the "Little Sunshine Beauty" genre? Why are there so many people who tell me to be mentally prepared?

"The Lord of the Rings Part 3 is so good, I'm going to see "Little Sunshine Beauty" tomorrow. ”

"In order not to spoil my good mood, I accept to watch "Little Beauty in the Sunshine" tomorrow. ”

On the forums in the Yahoo Movies section, Johnson sees a lot of these posts.

Most of them were built by others, and they gave up immediately staying to watch "Little Sunshine Beauty".

This made him feel even more that his guess might be correct, that these better-looking buildings might have been deliberately arranged. The purpose is just to increase the box office of "Little Sunshine Beauty".

Soon there was a post on several forums about "The Box Office Secret of Little Sunshine Beauty", which was written by Johnson.

He wrote down his guesses perfectly, and used many other people's posts to back up his guesses.

Some fans who haven't gone to the theater yet, seeing this post, many people think that this is what MGM and Chen Tian did on purpose.

Although there are many people who refute the post in the post, in the eyes of others, such a refutation must be deliberately arranged.

Peter Jackson, director of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, is a native of New Zealand.

Relying on the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, he has become a hot international director, and many commercial blockbusters have found him.

He is looking online to see what fans are saying about "The Lord of the Rings 3", and although there are bad ones, most of them are good reviews.

It put him at ease. His goal is to rely on "The Lord of the Rings 3" to achieve a win-win situation at the word-of-mouth box office this time, and it is best to realize the dream of the Oscar for Best Director on this basis.

The box office target of "The Lord of the Rings 3". He and the new line are aiming for $300 million in North America and a total of 700 million at the global box office.

At this time, he saw a post with a large number of participants, "The Box Office Secret of Little Sunshine Beauty", and he didn't know much about Peter Jackson of "Little Sunshine Beauty".

He knew that this was a film directed by Hollywood star director Justin Chen, and he had also heard of the name of Chen Tian's miracle director, and he also knew that "Little Sunshine Beauty" was released at the same time as "The Lord of the Rings 3".

At the time, he laughed to express his thoughts about MGM's choice at the time, which he also thought was stupid.

However, so far, he has not watched Chen Tian's film, and he doesn't know whether what the media says is true or boasted.

Seeing this post, many people participated, and many people said that they were left the theater under the construction of other people.

There are also some people who say that they watched "Little Sunshine Beauty" and decided to watch "The Lord of the Rings 3" tomorrow, and they are just sincere in building yì for others.

If it is really as this post says, then it will have more or less an impact on the box office of "The Lord of the Rings 3", which can't help but make his impression of MGM and Chen Tian much worse in his heart.

He wants to go to the theater to see what this "Little Sunshine Beauty" is like, if it is really as the post says, then he will not hesitate to stand up and criticize this phenomenon.

Far away in the Windy City of Chicago, Judy Fox, who was separated from Roger Albert, wanted to write something.

Now that she's the entertainment editor of the Chicago Sun-Times, she hasn't written a film review for a film in a long time.

But this time, she inexplicably had such an impulse in her heart - to write something for "Little Sunshine Beauty".

Although she knew that the readers of the Chicago Sun-Journal would be more interested in reading Roger Albert's film reviews.

Replaying the video in her head, she soon had an idea.

She did not start from the content of the film itself, but from the director's point of view.

"Justin presents the blurry and even chaotic raw images to all of us, fully believing in our intelligence and fully respecting our reinventive power.

If necessary, Justin can use the characters' dialogues or actions to highlight the main message of the film. Achieve the purpose of sensationalism.

However, the film is from beginning to end. You will never let Justin's saving zài. When you watch the whole film and look back on it afterwards, you will realize how wonderful it is for Justin to handle it this way. ”

Judy Fox is going to put this brief opinion next to Roger Albert's film review, which should have been sent to her email according to normal practice.

The last time this happened was after "This Man is from Earth", and when she thought about it, she felt that it was very likely that this time it would still be the case.

In Los Angeles, far away from the Windy City, Mike Benn saw a post of questioning on the Internet.

His first choice after watching the movie at that time was to go to the theater tomorrow or even a few days later to watch "The Lord of the Rings 3".

Seeing the misunderstanding of many people, he decided to write something.

There is no need to keep thinking about it in your mind, every frame of the movie jumps in front of you.

Especially the last song. Completely touched his heart.

Opening his eyes and looking at the blank Word document, Mike Ben, a professional movie fan, tapped quickly on the keyboard.

"Watching the movie trailer, many people must think that it is a children's or family comedy, the kind of old-fashioned comedy that doesn't require you to turn your brain after dinner, and allows you to digest the food you just eat.

A few terrible people make up a family, the standard configuration of road movies, plus the inspirational of a little fat girl.

Yes, that's all I had to guess before watching the film.

When I walked out of the theater after watching the film, my heart was churning. I don't know how to put it into words.

This seemingly family-light comedy movie has a message deep enough to make you understand what's right.

This simple black humor film will give you the most primitive thoughts on the essence of life: she will tell you when your ideals and reality deviate. How do we deal with failure?

She will tell you, how should failure and success be defined?

How should we bear when you put all your efforts and every step is right, but you still get the wrong result?

If I had to break it down, I don't know how much paper or how much storage space I would need to answer these questions.

Perhaps, I can't give the best answer.

This sounds like a very deep philosophical thought, a strict philosophical film, and if I want to watch a camp film like this, I think I need to clean my head and deal with it in the best possible condition.

Obviously, I didn't need to mobilize my brain cells before watching the movie.

Justin Chan ditches the ultra-small cost that he excels at, the tight offensive of language composition, and the suspenseful setting of the mind and intelligence.

It was carried out with ridicule, sarcasm, and funny.

Schadenfreude, living in the hearts of each of us, some people can suppress and others can't, when you see "Little Sunshine Beauty" you will definitely find it.

Justin Chan captures the schadenfreude in each of us, he can make me watch the whole film with a smile on my face, and then make me smile and smile and suddenly feel more moved in my heart.

I can't describe what this emotion belongs to, and I can't clearly explain where my tears and those of many people come from.

The fact that all philosophical issues will be resolved at the last minute of the film may seem incredible, but Justin has done it, and it will be remembered for a long time.

Carefully reminiscing about the film, just as the title makes people feel a touch of warm sunshine in their hearts, a touch of the summer sun that does not need any explanation.

Forgive me for not being able to spoil too much, but if you're willing to reap that feeling and get the definition of success, then walk into the theater.

Finally, a friendly reminder, don't leave early after the end of the film, otherwise you will regret it, because there is a song that can touch your heart.

Then "The Lord of the Rings 3" will make zào history, but please stagger with "Little Sunshine Beauty", they can't do 1+1>2. ”

When the last subtitle was finished, Mike Ben breathed a sigh of relief.

After a long movie review, he didn't stop and reviewed his film review from the beginning.

Then he copied and pasted all the words on his IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes websites, and wrote a name "That Touch of Sunshine". (To be continued......)

PS: The first watch, there are three more today...... Don't finish Xiao Ai doesn't sleep......
