Chapter 83: Film Review
"How's this dress? Maybe I should bring my new faux fur coat that I bought the other day, oh, and that Victoria's Secret! ”
"Not bad—"
"You didn't even look at me, Sean!"
Sean put down the newspaper and coffee in his hand, raised his head to look at Angelina standing in front of him, looked up and down, and showed a smile.
"Dear Angie, I prefer you to look without clothes."
"Shet!" Angelina turned to continue her work of packing her suitcase, and at the same time a sentence floated in, "Have you seen the box office of "Speed 60 Seconds"?" What do you think? ”
"It's not bad, with you and Cage supporting the scene, naturally the box office is not bad. As soon as it was launched, it topped the weekend box office charts! Sean joked, "But Mr. Bodybuilder and Mr. Agent have been working hard behind Cage's ass, so it's no wonder that Cage is flying around during the holidays to promote." ”
"Speed 60 Seconds" reached 25.5 million at the box office for three consecutive days, and with the signatures of the two stars Nicolas Cage and Angelina, this movie has also become the choice of many fans for Christmas pastime.
Naturally, the Christmas schedule will not be dominated by one movie.
Arnold Schwarzenegger's new film "Doomsday" also happened to be released, but the box office results were not very dazzling, and the results of the first three days were only a little more than 20 million.
Since the "Batman and Robin" scandal that year, this movie is Schwarzenegger's comeback after two years of absence, but the box office seems to be a little weak.
In fact, this movie is not a bad movie, and the failure is due to its publicity and distribution.
Because of the arrival of the year 2000, this film mixed with this religious color naturally played an apocalyptic gimmick. Everyone knows that the savior saves the world is the favorite tune of the old American audience.
The question is, can you beat The Matrix with such a deep question? And technically, it can't beat "Star Wars Prequel 1: Phantom Crisis"! This is also destined for the movie to be very sad. Who let me crash into the muzzle of these two masterpieces?
The North American audience wants to see that it is actually Schwarzenegger going to show off his muscles and repair the earth to save the world, but you let him play depth like Tom Hanks, even if he is asked to perform hard, the audience will not buy it. They just want to see you beat up the villains with your fists, a scene of ten beatings, but not Schwarzenegger is deep and decadent!
Naturally, the film will not be very strong at the box office.
On the contrary, the low-budget film "American Pie" has become another low-budget dark horse after the summer file "Blair the Witch". Once again, Universal has found a collection that attracts money.
Pierce Brosnan's signature 007's "Black Sun Crisis" also has a strong momentum, and although it is released in the third week, it is still close behind. I have to say that 007 is definitely a good medicine for MGM.
Brosnan's 007 is undoubtedly the most charming 007 in history, and his box office appeal and 007's brand appeal are unquestionable.
Of course, another Christmas winner is the animated film "Toy Story 2" produced by Pierce, which is at the peak of its glory. This sequel must be as much money as the first one. And the past few years can be regarded as the last glory of Pierce animation.
"60 Seconds" led the box office, followed by films such as "American Pie", "Toy Story 2", "Black Sun Crisis", "Apocalypse", "Mystery Puzzle", "Ripley the Genius", and "Machine Butler".
Although it is not as crowded as the summer blockbusters, it is also fiercely competitive.
"Mr. Bodybuilder didn't show off his muscles this time!" Angelina said with a smile, "For this reason, Cage gave up the Christmas holiday and continued to promote it in North America. Do you want the box office to be bad? ”
"Okay......"
Sean did not continue the topic and did not mention the promotional event for the movie "Mystery Puzzle" in which she starred. It's just that there is a feeling of emotion in my heart. You know, not every Hollywood star can go to Christmas with him here without fulfilling the film's promotional requirements!
"Sean, there's a story about you in the newspaper." Duke, who walked downstairs, took the bread on the table and stuffed it again, and pointed to the newspaper excitedly, "Many people up there complimented you." ”
"Oh, look at this. "Speed 60 Seconds" is adapted from "Rush to the Sky", and the most exciting part of the film is tantamount to a super drag racing scene of more than 40 minutes, and the adrenaline ...... Here and here! Duke read for a long time before he found it.
"The film is decent, but the performance of the Sphink in the film is eye-catching, and as soon as he appears, the cold and indifferent eyes startled me with goosebumps...... See, Sean? You've been complimented in no small way! ”
"Ruthless corpse collector, stunning appearance!"
"A touch of color in front of the two superstars!"
"The shining point of the little people, the genius rookie actor - Sean Rodriguez!"
Many newspapers have compliments about Sean's role as a Sphinx, and some compliments make Sean himself blush. If he hadn't known that he was only playing a supporting role in this movie, Sean would have thought he was the protagonist!
Sean doesn't care much about the news on these small newspapers, and he also knows that maybe behind these reports are the means of Endeavor Elite Brokerage and Michelle, which Sean sees very clearly.
However, the comments on the newspaper in front of him made Sean a little stunned.
The Los Angeles Times even mentioned information about himself on one of the pages, and it was quite highly rated, which made Sean a little hard to believe.
"It's probably been a long time since there's been such a vivid car chase, so I know a lot of eyes will be on Nicolas Cage and that 40-minute car scene. However, I'm more interested in the small supporting role of Sphink!
This actor is called Sean Rodrigues Clos, and many people may be unfamiliar with this name, but if you watch his performance in this movie, you will find that this is definitely a very good actor and a very powerful actor.
His appearance as Sphink, the corpse collector, shocked the audience, and I think many people must be like me, when they see Sphink turn their heads, they have a creepy feeling. And then his series of actions attracted the attention of the audience.
You might think he's a very perverted corpse collector when you see this, but then his performance is a cool mess. His brutal miscellaneous glass windows, gracefully taking off his trench coat, coldly lit his leather gloves with a CT engraved ZIPPO, and the flames danced in his hands, I think at that moment, there must have been many women who fell in love with this muscular tough guy.
Of course, if he was just a cool, simple tough guy, maybe he would be just like those tough guy actors, just just cool. But in the last scene, his deep eyes and line skills fill this character very full, and it can be said that in this movie, Sean Rodriguesk, who plays the Sphinx, is the biggest surprise.
I'm calling on audiences to pay attention to this newcomer, who has been just as good in "Advance L.A." and is said to have starred in a new movie with big star Julia Roberts, and with Russell Crowe in the new DreamWorks film "Gladiator."
"We look forward to more exciting performances from this new actor." - Kelly Harris, Los Angeles Times.
When he saw this article, Sean was stunned, obviously, this is not like Michelle's PR arrangement. But that's what excites Sean. Compared with those tabloid reports, the Los Angeles Times is undoubtedly more widely read and authoritative.
The benefits of this article to Sean are also countless. Although it cannot be said that it is a blockbuster and a success, it has already shown that Sean is no longer a worthless rookie, and he has begun to attract the attention of some critics and filmmakers.
That's the benefit of starring in a big-star movie. Piggybacking can get a lot of attention.
is also a movie, although the release of "Advance Los Angeles" has made many filmmakers in the independent film industry know and know Sean, and it is quite highly praised. But these cannot become famous.
In front of the public, Sean still has no trace of popularity.
But this "60 Seconds" is different. Sean's outstanding performance in the movie has won praise from many people, and has attracted the attention of the mainstream media, which suddenly brought Sean into the eyes of the general public.
This is also the reason why more people choose commercial films, mainstream movies.
This is also the reason why after the 70s, American independent films have been declining more and more. Don't think that just because a few independent films a year are a small success, the American independent film scene is mixed. In fact, there are thousands of independent films in North America every year, but very few succeed.
Masters such as Spike Lee, Greg Araki, Quentin Tarantino, and Tim Burton were also very sad in their early days. Not to mention those young actors in the independent film industry.
There are not as many independent filmmakers who can get ashore as imagined, and they can go ashore because they are nothing more than masters in the industry, and they are not afraid of the constraints of Hollywood's big production system.
But Shaun didn't expect to be like Spike Lee and the others all the time in the independent film scene. Haven't you seen that cutting-edge filmmakers like Ted Demmy and Doug Liman are starting to move towards the mainstream? Besides, in Hollywood, it's hard for independent films to go on!
Of course, some people praise and some people scold, and the most fierce one is the article by a man named Marshall in the newspaper "Eight Weekly".
"Vulgar, dead-faced, savage perverts, soft-asses!" These words were added to Sean, and once again picked up the news of Angelina and Sean for sarcasm.
"This is a soft egg holding a woman's thighs, according to the people in the same crew, Sean was intimate on the set during the filming with Angelina, which seriously affected the filming progress of the movie......"
This report was thrown directly in the trash by Sean, and at the same time told Angelina not to subscribe to this "Eight Weekly" newspaper in the future.
At the same time, Sean also has this guy named Marshall in mind.
It seems that this guy is the guy who filmed his affair with Angelina? When Sean saw the name, he thought of the previous scandal, dipped his hand in milk, and poked the name "Marshall" in the newspaper. Well, the name is gone, and it looks much more comfortable...... PS: Ask for collection and recommendation tickets, I hope you will support a lot, Lao Ye thanks everyone for their support, filmmakers, come on!
