Chapter 429: The Vampire Diaries

Hu Yifei's small-budget comedy film has been successful again in the United States.

When the news was transmitted back to China, it was naturally indispensable to eagerly report it. Fans just saw a lot of media comments and reports, such as "A bad girl defeats an amnesia agent, Hu Yifei directs a miracle", "The whirlwind of youth swept North America, and an interesting and handsome girl beats tradition." "The box office miracle of a small-budget movie is staged again, and it will become Hu Yifei's third film with a box office of more than 100 million in North America. ”…… The various titles make domestic fans very hot, and they search everywhere on the Internet, but they can only see the trailer, and there has been no announcement in China about when it will be released.

According to the grapevine, the film will not pass the review and will not be released in China, which immediately made many fans regretful.

But the news is not locked, even "Lust and Caution" can be released, and it makes no sense that "Juno" cannot. Family Pictures said it was working hard to get "Juno" to be released in China.

Hu Yifei is now undoubtedly a benchmark in the domestic entertainment industry overseas, different from Chenlong, Li Lianjie, and Zhang Ziyi, every move has attracted attention at home and abroad. And occasionally create a topic, which attracts the attention of the world. This kind of popularity is a really popular international superstar, and it is not a level of popularity and talent.

Baby, a little girl, took his space express, which made countless actresses envious, jealous and hateful.

She's been in a lot of rage lately, and two movies starring her in succession have been box office hits, making her an Asian girl a new generation of popular stars in North America in one fell swoop. Newly received Maybelline's 10 million endorsements in New York, becoming Maybelline's new generation of global spokesperson, and his popularity has exploded.

In the past, there was only one Chinese female star who was good in the world, but Zhang Ziyi's fame was a succession of good luck, and she was continuously photographed by big directors and won all the way to the top. It is so difficult, almost impossible for other actresses to replicate this method of fame. So for a long time, people put an "international chapter" in front of her name. Maybe not all of them are praises, but they also explain her achievements from the side.

Now there is one more Yang Ying, a girl who is only 18 years old, who has magically become popular in the fertile land of Hollywood with only two movies, which has to be said to be a miracle.

It is false for those domestic actresses to say that they are not hot, especially the many actresses in the family film industry, looking forward to when Hu Yifei will be able to pay attention to him.

……

Of course, there will be more media in North America inclined to "Spy Movie" and "Rush Hour", and this kind of big production will be released in the hot summer file, and it is appropriate to win the box office championship for a week. But the shine of youth movies like "Juno" is undoubtedly more attention-grabbing.

The entertainment section of The New York Times is looking at the reasons for Juno's success and why it was able to make it out. They think the film itself is an undeniably masterpiece, but it can be so popular in addition to its excellent publicity strategy because Hu Yifei handles the conflict between independent film and business very well, always expresses himself in a storytelling way, and always makes "Juno" cool, the girl who is the most endearing female character on screen this year.

At the same time, the emergence of "Juno" has filled the gap in the market for many years, and the extremely high "hunger" of the market is also one of the important reasons for its unprecedented success.

But the movie is not without negative reviews, and even Hu Yifei's die-hard movie fan, the famous film critic Roger Ebert, expressed his concerns, writing in a review published in the Chicago Sun: "I watched this movie with my little daughter, and this movie seems to have a kind of magic for young people, although the movie is still full of sunshine and makes people feel very comfortable." And that sharp-tongued little girl took away all my attention, and the performance of the young actor was a pleasure that reminded me of how cool it would be if I had such a daughter myself. But when I came to my senses, not only was I a little worried, I didn't support teenage pregnancy, I hope that girls will learn the connotation of the movie and not focus on cool pregnant girls! ”

For the movie itself, Roger Ebert still gave praise, describing it as "a masterpiece that can be watched three times in a row", praising Baby's acting skills are much better than when he was in "Inception".

The summer season has come to an end, but the competition in the film industry has not stopped at any time.

The box office week on August 17~20 also officially launched a new round of battles, which makes fans concerned about whether "Juno" can continue to achieve good results in the weekly list. And at this time, the news of the release finally came back in China, and after drastic editing and public relations, "Juno" finally successfully passed the review, but everything that should be deleted was deleted, which is inevitable. After all, how to say that teenage pregnancy is also a taboo topic.

In the expectation of countless fans, "Juno" will be released in Asia before the National Day holiday.

Released in North America this week, "Juno" lived up to expectations and continued the trend of long-term releases, earning $12.5 million again in the third weekend, the lowest decline of any film in the same period, just 36%. With this week's release, "Juno" also managed to exceed $105 million at the North American box office. However, "Rush Hour" fell by more than 60%, and the North American box office was only 80 million two weeks later, which was completely inconsistent with the expectations of the world.

The good box office of "Juno" in North America has stimulated demand in other regions. It was released in advance in several regions of Asia, and it has achieved good results.

……

At the filming location of "Transformers" in Chicago, Hu Yifei was about to start filming, when the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang, and he took it out to see that it was Nina calling. He smiled and said, "Hey, Nina, this is Galen." ”

"Hi Galen!" Nina Dobov's voice was very excited, and after saying hello, she couldn't wait to say: "I got the heroine of the movie "The Werewolf Who Never Cries"! Just my agent told me that I passed the audition! Mr. Director said, 'Her performance in Juno' is good enough for the role,' and it was crazy, I got a heroine! ”

Hu Yifei smiled: "Congratulations, little beauty!" Nina Dobov over there also laughed and kept thanking: "Thank you!" I'm so happy, thank you Galen, you gave me the opportunity to perform. ”

"No, you don't." Hu Yifei smiled and shook his head, a butterfly like her with excellent appearance and temperament and high talent will always become famous, and it is the same with or without "Juno". He doesn't have the situation of "The Werewolf Who Never Cries" in his head, but the name of the movie should be a fantasy genre, and he is not demanding acting skills or anything like that.

In any case, with Nina's talent and acting skills as a vampire, there will be a sparkle in playing the heroine of this kind of fantasy movie. The image in his mind is more of the heroine of the "Vampire Diaries" series.

Nina Dubov's laughter came from the phone again: "Where are you? Gallian. Are you still making movies, I want to invite you to dinner, okay? Hu Yifei said "oh", looked at his watch, at nine o'clock in the morning, and said with a smile: "Thank you, I'm filming in Chicago, if you can come here after dark and I finish work, I'll invite you to dinner." ”

"Chicago...... Wow. Nina remembered that Hu Yifei was still filming the big movie "Transformers". Some hesitation, now rushing to Chicago, she is worried that she will not be able to make it? But if you refuse, it will be too embarrassing, and when he was hesitating what to say, Hu Yifei said: "Okay, I'm going to turn on the phone, so be it." ”

"Ah...... Oh, okay. Before Nina finished speaking, Hu Yifei had already hung up the phone.

Nina was suddenly entangled, "Am I going?" ”

She turned on her computer, looked at her ticket to Chicago, and hesitated for only five seconds before buying it. "I'm going to Chicago!" (To be continued.) )
