Chapter 597
Every time a Hollywood movie starring Shen Lian is a box office and word-of-mouth harvest in North America, the wail of Chinese moviegoers has never decreased, because the release time of the movie in China is really delayed for a long time. Since the low-budget production of "District 9" can set off a bloody storm in the Chinese New Year because of Shen Lian, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television has resolutely restricted the entry of some prime-time Hollywood blockbusters. In the eyes of the senior management of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, the box office champion of the Chinese New Year stalls is occupied by Hollywood movies, and it is a shame for them that the domestic movies played are not human. On the other hand, I don't know how much box office Hollywood movies can swipe if they occupy the prime time of the Chinese New Year.
However, several major publishers are still making unremitting efforts to introduce "Mission Impossible 4" as soon as possible, Huayi, Orange Sky, and Bona have all quoted high prices for Paramount, hoping to get the distribution rights of "Mission Impossible 4".
The professor said in a previous interview that "Mission Impossible 4" was the hardest movie he had ever shot, and even added a new physiotherapist to his team during the filming process. However, judging from the word-of-mouth and hot box office in North America, these efforts are worth it, and I hope that China can introduce it as soon as possible within the year, and integrate with international standards as soon as possible, not always out of touch! ”
"The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television of R and M has delayed the introduction and NMB every time!! Shen Lian's movie can limit the box office by giving a bad schedule? "District 9" has been delayed for half a year, "Source Code" has been delayed for 5 months, I don't know how long "Mission Impossible 4" will be postponed! ”
After this battle, Shen Lian's status in Hollywood does not need to be discussed. Compared with Jason Statham, who can only star in B-grade films, and has never carried the box office of a movie but has been blown into the sky in China, Shen Lian can be called a second kill. At least I feel like I can go up to the level of Bell! After all, he has the experience of carrying the box office of small-budget movies, the history of blockbuster box office explosions, and the nomination of actors. ”
"Los Angeles Times" reporter Kraft returned home, took a comfortable bath, and after a glass of milk, leaned back on the bed, picked up his tablet, and began to knock down today's viewing experience: "Tom changed to a shrimp man, joined Jeremy Renner; With a new animation director and just as "mission impossible" as the previous installment, Ghost Protocol builds on its predecessor and completes its upgrade in Asia once again. Watching Ethan easily escape from a Moscow prison and accept the assignment as usual, he felt a markedly different feeling in his heart than before. The biggest impression of "Spy in Spy 4" is the superhumanization of the characters, which is undoubtedly thanks to the rich imagination and efficient execution of the director of "The Incredibles", and of course, he has to thank his more than a dozen assistant directors for their joint efforts. Chasing in a sandstorm and galloping on the world's tallest building, the impossibility of the task is almost more than all the previous sums, and the surprise Shen Lian from China still completes all the difficulties with an omnipotent attitude and calmly, I want to say, it's so good-looking! When the blood-pumping theme music started again, I felt like I saw Medellín in 1986. The "Mission Impossible" series may need to face the same change of actors as "007", but I don't think it will be the end, it will not be a fall, but the beginning of the series to a higher peak! ”
Simmons, a columnist for the New York Times, was also quick to get out: "In my opinion, the most successful thing about MI4 is that it returns to the theme of Mission Impossible itself. As the first work in this series, MI1 does not emphasize the enormity of the task from the beginning, in fact, the end of MI1 is the biggest highlight, and MI1 sets a high starting point for the whole film. As the signature dish of the MI series, one of the most difficult tasks is the most testing part of the writer's mind, and in the fourth episode, the invasion of the Kremlin and the climb of the Burj Khalifa have become new difficulties. Especially in the section of the Burj Khalifa, the glove failure, the fall from a high altitude and the rescue of people on the windowsill, coupled with the "condiment" of the sandstorm, this sense of urgency is needless to say; Undoubtedly, this is an impossible mission that surpasses any of the first three impossible tasks. SimonPegg interspersed with jokes plays a very obvious role as a sustained-release agent. From the assassination of the Minister of Defense, to the deal with terrorists, to the interception of nuclear bombs, the whole story of MI4 is not easy; The opening prison break, the house-to-box deal, and the teasing of the Indian tycoon ease the narrative rhythm of the story a bit, and dilute the tension brought by the film itself. BradBird, an animation director-turned-director, borrowed the treatment of animated films in the final fight, and made the final battle seem interesting through a toy-style lift. In fact, if it is a simple hand-to-hand combat, judging from the movies of recent years, the audience has long been numb and accustomed to it; After the addition of external forces such as equipment, this fight adds a lot of uncertain factors, giving people a refreshing feeling. It is foreseeable that the part of the Burj Khalifa will also become a recurring clip in the future, and even attract followers. Bird's first live-action film was a glimpse into his prowess, and this film could make Gilbert a popular darling and an American icon. When the 007 series has entered the realistic style and the future of the spy series is uncertain, this MI4 may become the leader of the new trend. Believing in MI5 doesn't have to keep us waiting too long. ”
When the time came on December 23, Shen Lian led the members of the special operations team to fly around the United States, promoting his movie "Mission Impossible 4" everywhere, and also took time to shoot a new commercial for Hugoboss and Ray-Ban sunglasses. The movie's explosive reputation and cool action scenes made the movie's box office climb steadily, and the release of the box office results in the first week made Shen Lian and the entire Paramount satisfied. The box office performance of 130 million US dollars almost crushed Robert Downey Jr.'s "Sherlock Holmes 2".
As soon as this news came out, the North American film industry was in an uproar!
Asians starring in "District 9" and "Source Code" to carry the box office may be acceptable, but starring in mainstream big productions and even a mainstream agent with an American image, from the moment the film was announced, there were endless voices of opposition.
Many people feel that Paramount will lose the hearts of North American audiences for the sake of the marginal Asian film market.
But whether it is in terms of box office or word-of-mouth quality, this idea has been ruthlessly slapped in the face. Let's not talk about what kind of results can be achieved at the box office. Judging from the effect achieved by "Mission Impossible 4" alone, he made the secret agent action movies that were originally defeated by superhero movies see hope again, and also found the future direction of this genre of films. The significance of this for the whole of Hollywood is extremely far-reaching.
