On May 20, at the Palme d'Or moving ceremony, Chen Tiandu presented the award for the best director. When he opened the envelope, he was also shocked, he always thought that double yolk eggs were a specialty of China, but he didn't expect that double yolk eggs also rose in Cannes. This year, two Best Directors won at the same time, and they were two American directors.

Joel Cohen won the award for "The Absent Man" and David Lynch for "Mulholland Drive". "The Pianist" won the Jury Prize, and the Italian film "Son's Room" won the Palme d'Or. The two treasure island films "Millennium Mambo" and "What Time Are You Over There" also won technical awards, but the performance of Chinese-language films has plummeted compared to last year.

After all, the foundation is too thin, "Infernal Affairs" has won honor and attention for Chinese films, but that's all, the entire film market is erosive, and it can't be driven by one or two masterpieces.

Returning to the United States again, Chen Tiandu immediately felt that the strong attention was not decreasing but increasing, and he was forced to install many more monitors in his home, and Kate was a little irritable, complaining about the security problems of the nearby community. Because of this paparazzi behavior, it has affected the lives of the neighbors, but fortunately, their relationship with the neighbors is not bad, but they are always a little apologetic.

Pain and happiness, if you go back to the point where no one knew on the street before, I'm afraid it will really be unbearable.

This week, the fans who were excited to watch the movie gradually calmed down after the excitement passed. The rating on IMDB has also decreased, but it still hovers around 8.4 points, which is a standing score in the TOP250.

However, some bad reviews began to appear in the media. "It's a popcorn movie, after all. It was enough to be happy at that time. Actually, now carefully reminisce about the movie. found that only the non-stop explosion scene remained, and the whole plot seemed too crowded, so that the portrayal of the team and the portrayal of the supporting characters were a little weak......"

"This movie can be split into two films, I believe the same will be excellent, Christmas Chen extravagantly squeezed them into one movie, the sensation is obvious, but it also causes the plot to be a little crowded......"

And so on. basically revolves around the plot that is too tight and has too many climaxes, so that the audience is immersed in the excitement for more than 100 minutes, and it looks very tired after watching it. In this regard, Chen Tiandu also carefully read many comments, secretly learned a lesson, and he wanted to strive to do better next time.

But these bad reviews have not reduced the box office growth trend of "Speed" at all, and more than half of the ten viewers who walked into the cinema will still choose to watch "Speed". This phenomenon was popular until the release of the DreamWorks cartoon blockbuster "Shrek" on May 17. finally squeezed out a little gap from the full screen of "Speed".

After the release of this animated blockbuster, it was also a word-of-mouth. Once again, DreamWorks has won the accolade. Under the good reputation, it coincided with the summer vacation, and the children pulled their parents into the cinema to watch. The one-man show has become a two-man show, and the continuously increasing summer box office curve has also made Americans really feel the real boom of the summer season.

From May 13 to 19, the official results of "Fast and Furious" came to an end in the second week of its release, and the box office had already crossed the $200 million mark on the ninth day of its release on Saturday 18, becoming the fastest film in history to break $200 million. This record defeated many films such as "Star Wars" and "Jurassic". The three-day weekend also earned $58 million at the box office, a drop of more than 53%, but it still won the championship without suspense, and the total North American box office reached $223 million.

The second highest grossing list this weekend is none other than DreamWorks Animation's "Shrek" with $42 million. Such an impressive record also drove "The Mummy 2" to the third place and became the second highest-grossing cartoon of all time, second only to "Toy Story 2". It was also DreamWorks' highest-grossing film debut, with the previous record being $35 million for "Gladiator."

The focus of media attention is still on the amazing gold-swallowing ability of "Speed".

The 10-day box office exceeded $223 million, and the 9-day box office exceeded 200 million, these two sets of figures continue to refresh the box office records of all previous Hollywood movies. As a purely commercial action blockbuster, its reputation among the audience is unmatched, and 95% of the audience's liking on Rotten Tomatoes is "Fast and Thrilling", which won this weekend's championship.

The New York Times made a week's box office review, commenting: "Three years ago, 'The Sixth Sense' brought a talented new star to Hollywood, and the film had a strong reputation and swept the global box office, creating a box office record that a horror film could not break." Two years ago, a brilliant sci-fi action movie "The Matrix" once again swept up a movie-watching boom in North America and even around the world, and also created a group of super popular handsome guys and beautiful stars. Nowadays, these two films have become the object of imitation by many production companies, but they have always had to be in a state of flux. ”

Last year's "Infernal Affairs" was his lowest-grossing film, but it also created the pinnacle of a classic police film, making a foreign-language film the biggest winner of the Oscars, and also allowing Christmas Chen to win an Oscar for Best Director. And now, he has begun to move into the purely commercial film market, and there is only one way ahead of "Fast and Thrilling", which is to continue to break various box office records and create a new series of action movies that people can't achieve. ”

Matrix Movies is now cheering and celebrating, and suddenly I feel that this summer vacation is so romantic and colorful.

Other film companies can only sigh again with envy or jealousy, why don't they have a Christmas Chen?

Jeffrey Katzenberg said in an interview with the media, "I regret that I didn't keep Christmas Chen to join DreamWorks, if I had paid more attention to it and retained more, I'm afraid that DreamWorks would have been firmly in the top eight of Hollywood." However, he still declared, "The two sides are still good partners, and Steven Spielberg's new film is about to invite Christmas Chen to join him, and he has already sent him an invitation." ”

This is new news, because Chen Tiandu has already said that he will not participate in other directors' films, this time he is invited by his teacher, and he is a big director who is absolutely impossible to refuse, will Chen Tian break his own rules?

Chen Tiandu did receive the script, and Spielberg's new film is naturally beyond doubt. After he was immersed for a long time, he called Steven, "Director, I have never played a young character before, a slippery elf mouse in 'cat and mouse', do you think I can play it well?" ”

Steven Spielberg joked: "Although you didn't win the Golden Globe Award, your acting skills are no problem, even if there is a problem, I will make you no problem." ”

What else can Chen Tiandu say, "Okay, then I'm fine, if you think I'm not good at that time, it's okay to change me casually." Spielberg said: "I think you are very suitable for this role, and the role of the cat, which will be played by Tom Hanks." ”

“…… Then what else do I have to say, I try to stagger the schedule. ”

Although he doesn't care about starring in other people's movies, it is reasonable to say that this invitation cannot be refused. Fortunately, Spielberg was still busy with his "Minority Report", and there was a buffer period in between.

Although it has not yet signed a contract, DreamWorks can already announce in advance that Steven Spielberg's next film will be teamed up by Tom Hanks and Christmas Chan, which is also the first time that Christmas Chan has starred in a movie by other directors, attracting countless attention. The reporters lamented, "Christmas Chan's bones aren't hard enough, and if he rejects Spielberg, it's news." ”

was announced along with Spielberg's new film, as well as "Fast and Exciting 2" has begun to be established, Chen Tiandu only serves as a producer and not a director in the sequel, the new director was selected when the first part of the series started filming, Lin Yibin, who served as the first assistant director, a Chinese director, and except for the villain Jason Statham, who has been hung up, all the other protagonists will return.

On the day of the press conference, several main creators gathered again, and they couldn't help but smile.

Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Megan Fox, Jordana, Michelle and others are all the most talked-about actors at the moment, how can such a combination gather again, how can it not attract attention.

Excluding Chen Tiandu, Lin Yibin became the biggest focus of this press conference. But it's not a good thing, and reporters generally question his ability, as a hand-picked successor to Christmas Chan, can he take over the baton. This is also a topic that countless fans are worried about, and they don't want this newcomer to ruin "Fast and Furious".

"May I ask Christmas Chen, "Fast and Thrilling" has set the pinnacle of action blockbusters, trains, tanks, and planes have all appeared, do you still have confidence that in the sequel system, what else can appear in Zuò, and can you surprise fans?"

Chen Tiandu smiled: "That can only mean that your imagination is too lacking." I've heard a saying that the stage is as big as the mind. There are cheetahs that run faster than rabbits, trains that run faster than cheetahs, planes that run faster than trains, and rockets that run faster than airplanes...... We're just a rabbit jumping on the ground. In the sequel, the action drag racing scene will still be the main feature, but it doesn't have to be on the action scenes of the larger scenes, in fact, there are many unsolved plot mysteries left in the first part, and in the sequel, a more complete story will be presented. ”

The movie has only been released for two weeks, and the sequel has already been established, and there is no faster arrangement. Sure enough, it's a racing movie, fast enough.

So how far can "Fast and Thrilling", which has reached its peak attention, go? (To be continued......)
