[Thank you 'yang3303'588 for your tip!] Ask for a commuter pass! 】
When Scarlett was still wheezing fiercely in the hotel, the gossip news that "the two hugged each other and walked around Paris, couldn't bear the itching halfway, Hu Yifei pinched his buttocks and Scarlett bit his chin, and then returned to the hotel together" has spread quickly through the Internet.
This time the evidence is conclusive, and the two are indeed together.
The gossip is the most sultry, and the news came out, which made Hu Yifei and the other "maids" vomit blood, and Facebook was full of words like "I don't believe in love", "How can the master find a foreign mother-in-law", but most men are very open to this, Scarlett is so beautiful and sexy, which man refuses. The old man is handsome and rich, and if I were a woman, I would not be able to refuse him.
After Hu Yifei learned the news, he felt a little tricky, picked up the phone and wanted to make a call, but after turning the phone for a long time, he didn't know who to call, so he sighed and simply put it down. just sighed: "There are a lot of paparazzi in France, and you must bring a bodyguard next time you go shopping."
After a week of precipitation, the "Hangover" media comprehensive rating is 81 points (A on Yahoo, 85% freshness on Rotten Tomatoes.)
It's been a bit of a tumultuous week, but the Fool Four is still wreaking havoc in Hollywood.
Media comprehensive comments: "It's not without shortcomings, but vulgar humor is not hateful, and the joy of being cheap is refreshing", "In the drunken 'reflection' of the decrepit group, I accidentally glimpsed the real human nature, so those clumsy and funny lines also have undoubted persuasiveness and tension", "The effective combination of heavy jokes and fancy dresses, and these are not the original framework structure of an excellent script that is calculated to the extreme, it should be said that this careful design is the foundation of the film's excellence", "The chemistry of the protagonists is wonderful"......
But in the face of comments full of ", pee, fart" and the like, it's not all.
Some people who are not used to watching it retorted, "You said that "The Hangover" has no connotation, it is all a bunch of, pee, farts and middle fingers, which is not true. Otherwise, at the end, why did the director add a family and a well-behaved son to the role of Phil? ”
"Although the first part is all irresponsible, the storyline is always clear. In the end, return to the truth, and the family is the final destination. ”、
"The Hangover is actually a great movie, it's just laughed at and mistaken for it! Crazy Las Vegas and warm home make up the man, where Stu finds his male self, turning from a hen into a tiger; Doug got rid of the panic and nervousness before marriage, and in the end he just wanted to go home, how important his wife and home are to men; But Phil is a representative of a man who has been married for a long time and always wants to indulge, but after leaving Las Vegas, he is still a good husband and father; Allen, on the other hand, is a typical boy, stupid, neurotic, excited, rude, and full of lustful ......"
"The bride Tracy represents the kind of perfect woman that everyone wants, hot and beautiful, understanding father-in-law, who also gives you a Mercedes sports car, she takes the initiative to let you have a bachelorette party, and she is willing to forgive you for being late for the wedding......"
After analyzing all the characters and details in "The Hangover" for a long time, and saying it clearly, the author of this film review wrote: "How thoroughly does "The Hangover" analyze men, and director Galen tells us that men can sometimes go crazy, but after going crazy, they still have to go home, and that is the best destination. To borrow a movie line: As for the Las Vegas thing, stay in Las Vegas. ”
This film review was immediately warmly welcomed by many movie fans, and everyone suddenly realized "Oh", "I thought that "The Hangover" was stupid and boring, but it wasn't!" ”
"If you remove the, will it be Chicago?"
Perhaps influenced by this film review, "Chicago Reader", "Hollywood Reporter", "Premiere", and "Variety" in authoritative institutions are even recommended with the highest scores.
In such an atmosphere, on the second weekend of the summer vacation, when the calendar opened on the 16th, the screening week on May 8~15 also came to an end.
On the weekend and three days of the second week of the summer season, "The Hangover" was released in 3,200 theaters this week, and once again achieved a score of $42.25 million, winning the weekend box office championship with an absolute advantage, with a decline of only 33%, which is in line with the company's tone.
The total box office in the week was 59 million US dollars, and the cumulative box office in the United States exceeded 100 million in the second week of screening, reaching 123 million US dollars. According to the words of the Los Angeles Times, both "daddy" and "mother-in-law" have become the prey of this kindergarten teacher.
It broke 100 million in nine days, and it also became the shortest restricted film in Hollywood history to exceed $100 million at the box office. The previous record was 11 days, set by Sex and the City, which was released last year.
Restricted films are films that are watched by an adult for audiences under the age of 17. Industry insiders predict that "The Hangover" will eventually earn $200 million at the box office. It's almost certain that it will replace "Beverly Hills Detective" as the highest-grossing R-rated comedy of all time. This is a pie in the sky for the family film company, which only invested more than $20 million in the film. For Warner Bros. to get such a big piece of cake, it was undoubtedly an unexpected surprise.
The other two comedies with 3,400 theaters, "Monster Mother-in-law" and "Football Daddy" ranked second and third with 24 million and 20 million respectively. ranked fourth, starring Hu Yifei's compatriot "Kung Fu Emperor" Li Lianjie, and "Danny the Wolf Dog" directed by French director Luc Besson.
As we all know, the great French director likes Hong Kong kung fu movies very much. Li Lianjie's box office appeal in Hollywood is not bad, but this time's $10 million opening result is obviously far worse than that of his compatriots.
On the basis of the lack of China, the overseas box office expanded again to 32 countries and regions this week, achieving another $69.8 million, and the global box office cumulative reached $255 million.
In ten days, it has officially broken the box office record of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" of 213 million US dollars and become the highest-grossing Chinese film. Although this movie was shot in two languages at the beginning of filming, it is not a pure Chinese film.
"Hu Yifei fulfilled the promise of the Golden Horse Awards and successfully won the Chinese box office champion of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!" The impact of this news on the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places in China is obviously more ferocious.
Whether it is Hong Kong, Taiwan, or Macau, countless media have used words such as "top laurels" to report on this matter. Say he's arrogant, say he's bragging, say he can't do it, and now what......
And he did, and he did it brilliantly in the eyes of a broken glass.
It's really hard to imagine what kind of mood domestic peers, audiences, and fans will be in at this moment: confused, ups and downs, or worship and disgust?
Hu Yifei couldn't feel it.
The current achievement of "The Hangover" is undoubtedly better than the original.
It also made Hu Yifei feel inexplicable: the box office of a film not only depends on film factors such as quality and publicity, but also other off-site factors will have a deep impact.
This release time was advanced by four years, which can be regarded as a taste of freshness for American audiences, otherwise the next time a full set of Chinese lineups, even if the quality and publicity are passed, there will be 90% of cases, and North American audiences will not buy it.
But the "hangover" scene also stopped there, and next week, Hollywood's protagonist of this summer, "Galactic Tyrant" George Lucas's "Star Wars Prequel 3: The Sith Strikes Back", arrives, and Americans are ready for the holidays.
Countless fans spontaneously cheered, and the Star Wars Cultural Festival began to sweep the United States, with many institutions predicting that "Before the Stars 3" is likely to reign with a mythical premiere box office of $100 million. (To be continued.) )
