"Deadpool and Vanessa do a game on International Women's Day?"
The director of this film is Murphy, he just thought about it a little, he knew what kind of game it was, a little bead of sweat oozed from his forehead, and quickly changed the subject, "Honey, you just said that Bill called me, didn't he say anything?" ”
Gal Gadot didn't intend to stop there, but instead of going on, he said to Murphy's question, "I almost forgot." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
She stood up and ran all the way into the living room, and after a while, ran back again, with an extra fax in her hand.
"It's a fax from Bill." Gal Gadot handed it to Murphy, pulled over a chair, and sat down next to him, "Congratulations, dear." ”
The numbers on the fax are definitely good news for Murphy, and the good news for Murphy is good news for Gal Gadot.
Murphy took the fax, and the first thing he saw was a number in black and bold -- $7.52 million!
This is the box office revenue of "Deadpool" in all advance screenings in the United States, and it is also a terrifying number.
Seeing this number, Murphy's first feeling is relaxation, the feeling that the pressure disappears in an instant, bringing a real relaxation, followed by inevitable joy, although this number is not as good as the former "Deadpool", but now without 3D and IMAX high ticket prices, it is really very rare for an R-rated film.
And the fax also marked that the $7.52 million advance box office is also the second highest advance box office record for R-rated films in North America after "The Matrix 2: Reloaded".
"Oh, yes." Gal Gadot added, "Before I went out for a run, I looked at the Internet, and the Rotten Tomatoes freshness rate was 86 percent at that time, and the ...... in the back"
She scratched her head, as if she couldn't remember.
Murphy reminded, "Representing the popcorn index that the audience wants to see? ”
"Yes, it's the popcorn index." Gal Gadot recalled, "The popcorn index was ninety-nine percent. There is also IMDb with a rating of 8.7. ”
She looked at Murphy, "It seems that the word-of-mouth and box office of this film are better than that of Sin City." ”
Murphy had already put the fax aside, nodded and said, "Of course it gets better and better." ”
He took the newspaper that Gal Gadot had brought in earlier and flipped through it.
Just like Murphy, at this moment, countless people in North America got today's newspaper, and saw the North American box office revenue of $7.52 million from the front page of the newspaper's entertainment page.
The Los Angeles Times commented: Murphy Stanton has done a great job of blending his personal style with the character of Deadpool, resulting in a very interesting superhero movie, you can't imagine this movie is so funny, this thrill is hard to replicate, and it feels like the X-Men series is hard to have a work beyond this film.
Out of 100, the Los Angeles Times gave Deadpool an eighty-eight points.
Also scoring 88 is The New York Times, which also spoke highly of the film: "Deadpool" is the kind of film that fails if you don't pay attention, and the film is full of self-aware humor, but serious enough in its love story and revenge story to keep the audience engaged.
The famous film magazine "Premiere" also gave the film a whopping rating of 80 points: raucous and lewd, ingenious and outrageous, "Deadpool" was a pleasant experience, and the credit goes mainly to Murphy Stanton and the whole team for daring to shoot it that way.
Even "The New Yorker", which has always been known for its vitriol, gave a high score of seventy-five, and they commented: "Deadpool" is a special superhero movie, full of blood, violence, **** and black humor, Murphy Stanton has made certain changes to the plot in the comics, but these changes can make it easier for ordinary fans to understand the plot of the film, there are a lot of comedy elements and bloody and violent scenes in the film, and the action scenes are very fast and well-paced. As a comic book adaptation, "Deadpool" not only captures the essence of the characters, but also complements them.
"Shall we go to see this film at night?"
At Microsoft's headquarters in Redmond, a programmer secretly read the newspaper and asked his fan friends who were flipping through the website next to him, "The newspaper has almost one-sided positive reviews, and it looks much better than last weekend's 'Hellboy'." ”
"Go! Why not? The companion with the baseball cap kept nodding his head and said, "IMDB and other websites are also very positive, and the review team I belong to collectively went to the premiere last night and thought the film was superb." ”
"There's also a comment from the comment group." He simply read for his companion, "Murphy Stanton's hero film is really extraordinary, and the mouth cannon is high-level, just like the super complaining slut friend around you, you know that you can never say such a lack of morality, you can still love to listen to him complain about everything around him, and then applaud." However, such a down-to-earth Deadpool doesn't want to save the world from a high level, just to continue to unlock various poses with the female ticket, so as to embark on the road to fight against the evil unlicensed small clinic, it is enough to see the various tall and tall Spider-Man next door, and then look at this slut, it feels so fresh and pleasant. ”
The programmer over there also opened the website and rummaged through the audience reviews of "Deadpool", which was similar to the professional film reviews in the newspaper, and was also praised on the Internet.
"The action design is crisp and neat, and it looks good and intense. Although the dialogue is cheap and has to be endless, it is really interesting. The special effects are really good, and they shock the audio-visual every minute. Deadpool is too funny, teasing one, but so what, he can be a hero and get true love. ”
"Deadpool is cheap enough. The whole film is full of swear words, and the narration and editing techniques are also refreshing, which will not make people uncomfortable to watch. There are a lot of bloody pictures, and there are often inconveniences that make people chrysanthemum tight. ”
"From the opening subtitles to the end credits, there are cheap mouths all the time, complaints everywhere, you may get on a stalk at any time, cold humor and meat jokes fly together, plasma and dew point swipe the screen. This film captures the essence of comics and characters, and its entertainment is also the best in similar movies. ”
After reading these comments, the designer only felt itchy and couldn't wait for the weekend to run out and watch the film immediately.
"Dude!" He said to his companion in a baseball cap, "I can't work overtime today, I'll leave after work." ”
"I'm going to go home first." The baseball cap pointed to his clothes, "You can't wear this to see it, can you?" I bought Deadpool's uniform the other day. ”
"Okay, see you at the theater!"
"See you at the theater!"
The direct result of good word-of-mouth and sufficient guaranteed media publicity is that from Friday afternoon, the theaters showing "Deadpool" in North America have ended the deserted situation since the Oscars, and a considerable number of audiences have walked into the theaters, and the main target is the same film.
Although there is no queue in most theaters, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as full of voices.
In an Imperial Theater in Chicago's affluent neighborhood, the famous film critic J.R. Jones sits in the waiting area, waiting for his movie to begin.
As a professional film critic, he can enjoy the treatment of watching films for free, and when the time is up, he walks into the theater and chooses a relatively backward position at random, so that he can leave the film at any time after it starts.
In front of him, there sat two ordinary fans, one of whom seemed to have already watched "Deadpool", and was talking endlessly to the other.
"First of all, I have to be honest, I wasn't optimistic about Deadpool beforehand. Therefore, the word-of-mouth that received most praise after the release of the film was somewhat unexpected. ”
Hearing this, Jr-Jones took out his notebook and took out a pen, ready to jot down the fan's opinion, "I watched this film in theaters until the morning, and I must admit: such a comic book character that is least like a superhero is indeed quite funny." ”
That fan seemed happy to share with others, "Deadpool's fun lies in one word: cheap." If it's three words, it's super cheap. ”
Jr. Jones is also happy to record the fans' opinions, because it will save him a lot of trouble, "Deadpool is a complete chatter, and an extremely vicious chatter, which is both sour and harsh, and exudes pleasure in one sentence. ”
What makes Deadpool's poisonous tongue even more funny is Murphy Stanton's extensive references to pop culture, from movies to comics, from realpolitik to celebrities. What's even more interesting is that Deadpool is not the only one in the film who has a poisonous tongue, his dead friend is more poisonous than Deadpool in terms of poisonous tongue......"
The big screen in front of him suddenly lit up, and the theater suddenly fell silent, and the person in front also stopped, JR-Jones shrugged, put away the pen and notebook, and after reading the beginning of the meeting, he walked out of the theater directly, planning to go to the manager's office, have a drink with the familiar manager on duty, and when the film is about to end, come back to watch the end, and then write a professional-level film review.
He and more than 80 percent of his peers basically work this way.
Most of the time, he and his colleagues from other newspapers and magazines meet in the theater, usually just scrolling through the blog site, drinking together, leaving the theater together to go to a nearby bar, and then at the end of the movie, they either stay in the bar and wait for the audience to come in, or go back to the theater lobby to listen to the discussion.
They would record the discussions and take notes, asking people what they thought was the best and worst about the film, and nodding their heads in agreement as if they felt the same way.
However, Jr-Jones thinks that he is still very professional than these people, and what he often does after becoming famous is not only to go into the theater to watch the beginning, but also to go back and watch the ending responsibly. (To be continued.) )
