Chapter 482: The Released Released That the World Expects
After a magnificent and crazy box office journey, "Wild Story: The Rise of the Apes", which sparked a national carnival this summer, has come to an end, and this epic fantasy film that broke the record of "Titanic" in all aspects finally ended up with $781 million, $1.945 billion at the North American box office and the global box office.
After the lively summer file, because the blockbusters represented by "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" have almost exhausted the enthusiasm of fans and audiences, plus there are really no films worth looking forward to during this time, except for a few places, in the world, the film markets in most countries and regions around the world have shown an extremely deserted scene.
Fortunately, as Halloween approaches, this situation is rapidly changing, and the release of several high-profile films has lifted the spirits of movie fans and audiences, and they can finally see a few movies they want to see.
Among them, the first to arrive is undoubtedly on October 17th, before Halloween's "Heartbeat", there is not much reason, only the three words "Lin Yuquan" are very convincing, although media reporters, film critics and filmmakers are not optimistic about Lin Yuquan's concoction of this little fresh love movie to achieve too high a box office, but this does not prevent fans and audiences from looking forward to "Heartbeat".
Throughout Lin Yuquan's entire directorial career since his debut, "Huo Yuanjia", "Red Cliff", "Painted Skin", "Hurricane Rescue", "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Clan", and now "Heartbeat", and "Immediate Rescue" under filming, Lin Yuquan has been looking for something new, and has not repeated it once. And so far. He brought nothing but surprise, amazement, and shock. It has never disappointed, with such a record, how can people not have expectations for "Heartbeat".
How much are you looking forward to? After Lin Yuquan announced that he would shoot "Heartbeat", Wendelin. Fan. De La Anan's "Heartbeat" novel immediately became a global bestseller, selling the rights to 52 countries in a short period of time, including 820,000 copies in North America alone in the eight months since filming was announced. With Wendelin. Fan. De La Annan said: Thank you Lin for a decision that allowed me to earn more royalties than I had done before. And it is foreseeable that with the release of "Heartbeat", she will continue to gain income.
"The novel of "Heartbeat" is so innocent and beautiful, just like Lin, I was completely attracted when I saw the introduction."
"Really? Me too, Julie. Baker religiously believes in three things: that the tree is holy, that the eggs from the chickens she raises in her backyard are the most hygienic, and that one day she will kiss Bryce, I have to say, Julie is so personality that she's just going to be cool. ”
"The novel already makes people feel heartbeat. I don't know how Lin will shoot, it's really exciting! ”
Listen to the lively chatter all around. The Chicago Sun's chief film critic, Roger Murphy. After Albert sat down in his seat, he looked at the large poster of "Heartbeat" posted in the waiting area of the theater, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Although he also belongs to the kind of people who are not very optimistic about the high box office of "Heartbeat", it does not mean that he is not optimistic about the movie "Heartbeat", and the box office is not optimistic only because of the type of film.
In fact, he is extremely looking forward to Lin Yuquan's new work, because "Heartbeat" has not arranged any test screenings before, he also came to the theater as soon as it was released.
Before that, he said that "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape" will be included in his list of best films in 2008, which is naturally not a lie, and he is also eager to see if Lin Yuquan can be the first person to be selected for his best film list with two films a year.
In addition, although he is not very optimistic about "Heartbeat" achieving too high a box office, but this week's weekend box office champion, he thinks it must be "Heartbeat".
In the first three weeks, "Hawkeye" won the championship with $29.26 million and "Gold Dog" with $29.12 million and $17.47 million respectively.
The battle for the box office title will only be among the new films released this week, and in addition to "Heartbeat", three of the new films released are on a large scale. Directed by Moore, by Mark. Warburg starred in "The Witcher", which will land in 3,122 theaters. Prince. Directed by Byswood, Dakota. Fanning, Quinn. Latifa starring, according to Zisu. Monk. Based on Kidd's best-selling novel of the same name, "The Secret Life of Bees" will be released in 1,523 theaters, as well as Oliver Brown. Stone's biopic, "The Biography of George W. Bush," which will be released in theaters in 2016, but none of these three films have strong box office appeal and are not expected to pose much of a threat to "Heartbeat".
This can be known only by looking at the current situation in the waiting area of the theater, although because Lin Yuquan was busy with the filming of the movie, he did not personally promote it in North America, and it is already very late, but the waiting area is full of fans and audiences who are waiting for the premiere of "Heartbeat" at midnight.
Roger. Albert believes this is happening not only in his theaters, but also in the hundreds of theaters that have opened the zero o'clock premiere of "Heartbeat", and even in countless theaters in countless countries and regions around the world.
Yes, the three words Lin Yuquan alone are enough to attract fans to the cinema today.
"Oh, I'll be in the market soon." In a theater in Los Angeles, Dakota wearing a hat and deliberately disguised himself. Fanning raised her wrist to look at the time on the clock, and a faint smile appeared on her face, although the movie premiere of "Heartbeat" was being held in China at this point in time, but she did not attend, because "The Secret Life of Bees" starring her will also have a movie premiere in 10 hours, and she is really unskilled.
As for why it is arranged this way, there is naturally a reason, although "Heartbeat" is relatively more eye-catching, but in that movie, she is only an important female character. The limelight was completely dominated by Abigir. Bryslin pressed over. It's different in the movie "The Secret Life of the Bees". She is the actor of the female number one Lily. It deserves to be the one that shines the most in the movie.
By any measure, she should have attended the premiere of The Secret Life of Bees, which needed her presence even more.
"It looks like the box office of "Heartbeat" will be very good." In a lively cinema, the usually quiet Dakota. Fan Ning didn't feel irritable at this time, some were just happy, not the female number one. After all, she is the starring role of the film, and of course she hopes that the higher the box office of "Heartbeat", the better.
"I wonder what kind of box office "The Secret Life of Bees" can achieve?" Dakota. Fanning couldn't help but think that although the cast is not as good as "Heartbeat", and the scale of the release is not as good as "Heartbeat", Gina, as the director. Prince. Byswood is even less influential than Lin Yuquan, but "The Secret Life of Bees" is definitely not to be underestimated, just because it is based on Sue. Monk. Kidd is based on the novel of the same name.
Sue. Monk. Kidd and "The Secret Life of the Bees" are not very influential in the world, but in the United States, they are well-known. The novel topped the New York Times bestseller list for two years, selling 4.5 million copies. Hailed by the New York Times Book Review as "The Secret Life of Bees," it proves that people can find loved ones in the most unexpected places – perhaps not under your own roof." But it will be in the magical temple where you will find love. The Secret Life of a Bee is a gift, a gift of hope. ”
This novel is also Sue. Monk. Kidd's rise to fame made her a classic and best-selling female writer in the United States, and she later published The Mermaid Chair, which sold 6 million copies compared to The Secret Life of Bees, and over the years, she won various awards and nominations for two novels, including the Quiller Award with J.K. Rowling and a nomination for the 2006 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Prize.
Although it is not yet as good as "Wild Days", "Harry Potter", "Twilight", and "The Lord of the Rings", the adaptation of such a best-selling novel will undoubtedly help the box office of the film.
Compared with the original "Heartbeat", "The Secret Life of Bees" is much stronger, but because of the existence of Lin Yuquan, there is a huge contrast between the two.
"Sister, do you think the box office of "The Secret Life of Bees" can be higher than "Heartbeat"?" Next to Elle. Fanning said in a sweet voice.
"What do you think? How can it be. "Dakota. Fanning smiled and scolded, pinching Ellie. Fanning's fair and smooth face.
"Sister, don't pinch me, if you pinch me again, I'll be angry." Ally. Fanning said with a puffed face.
"Haha, I'll pinch it." Dakota. Fanning couldn't help but laugh.
And on the other side of the ocean, in Kyoto, the capital of China, the premiere ceremony of "Heartbeat" is going on outside the square outside the Shuguang Cinema, a large number of media reporters and a larger number of fans gather here, every leading actor, and every star guest is accompanied by the click of photo and cheers and screams like a raging tide, especially when Lin Yuquan appears, the atmosphere is the highest. Tide.
The time soon came to the viewing stage, everyone poured into the theater, and many "Heartbeat" screening halls were full all over the country and around the world, and people were talking about "Heartbeat" with each other.
After the patch advertisement, when the big screen in the theater suddenly dimmed, countless theaters suddenly quieted down, everyone's eyes looked at the big screen, with a strong expectation in their eyes, finally coming, what kind of excitement should Lin Yuquan's little fresh love movie be?
Soon, in the melodious music, like the rising sun, a bright light pierced the darkness, and quickly drilled out from the back of a mountain, in the light, the outline of the mountain was clearly revealed in front of everyone's eyes, followed by the English words "summit" and "entertainmen", which were through the two movies "Hurricane Rescue" and "Savage Story: The Rise of the Ape Race", which have long been the opening animation of the movie produced by Summit Entertainment, which is familiar to people.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of light and pleasant music with Latin American style sounded, and it easily grabbed the ears of all the audience in the theater without seeing the picture. Danner's handwriting.
And in the sound of music. On the big screen, he was wearing a red and white striped short-sleeved T-shirt. Morgan is as cute as a porcelain doll. Lily's figure. I saw her tilting her head slightly, her clear eyes like jewels looking at everyone in the theater who were looking at the big screen without blinking, her face gently outlined a chuckling arc, the breeze blowing, and her beautiful hair flowed slightly.
Warm afternoon sun, girl-next-door little girl, Fenton. Papameko's photography perfectly highlights the kind of image that Lin Yuquan wants, even if it's just a picture. But that fresh and beautiful feeling was transmitted to everyone in the theater, and everyone's attention was unconsciously attracted and couldn't help but smile.
The camera switches, and Nathan Jr. appears on the big screen. Gan Bao's figure, nostalgic shirt and meticulous hairstyle made him completely different from ordinary small town boys, exceptionally handsome and cute, but at this time he stared wide, raised his eyebrows, and looked at something outside the car window with an extremely critical gaze.
The narrator's voice sounded appropriately. "My greatest wish is Julie. Baker can stay away from me, the story begins in the summer of 1957. On the eve of the start of the second grade. ”
The camera cuts, and the panorama of an old-fashioned car appears on the big screen the next moment, and there is a little girl next door wearing a red and white striped short-sleeved T-shirt and a pair of gray and white shorts on the side of the street, the little girl sits on a bluestone slab, blinking at the car driving past her.
The next moment, the car came to a house, and it turned out that the little boy Bryce and his family had moved to the town.
Seeing the little boy and his father start to move things, the little girl who sat on the bluestone slab and watched, that is, Julie in the narrator. Baker hurriedly got up and trotted to the bed of the moving truck to help.
But Bryce's father stopped her, and Bryce was reluctant to help her, and Bryce's father deliberately took Bryce away.
Seeing Bryce leave, Julie. Baker immediately chased after him, but when he came to the lawn in the yard, one ran, one chased, one tried to catch, one broke free with his backhand, and by mistake, as the narrator said, "I was about to tell her to get out of the way, the most embarrassing thing suddenly happened, it was unbelievable, I was holding the hand of a strange girl, how could I be so unlucky." ”
In the shot, Bryce frowned slightly, faintly avoiding Julie. Baker's eyes looked extremely reluctant, and the picture switched to Julie. Baker tilted his head, his watery eyes barely blinking, and a faint smile on his face.
Just then, Bryce's mother arrives at the hospital, and Bryce breaks free from Julie. Baker's hand, running behind his mother, only showed a pair of eyes to look at Julie. Baker.
"It's a fun opening, it's a really good picture," many critics laughed and exclaimed.
And more movie fans and audiences are completely attracted by Julie on the big screen. Beck and Bryce were captivated by their pure and beautiful eyes and smiles, and their faces were slightly smiling, and their hearts were full of warm taste.
The story on the big screen is always going on, Bryce goes to a small-town school to study, and through Bryce's narration, Julie. Baker has been pestering him, and he feels very annoying about it, the film did not stay too much in Bryce's childhood, after a few shots, Bryce appeared on the big screen as a teenager, handsome blonde, handsome face, elegant temperament, Australian handsome guy Karan. Bryce, played by McOllieffie, exudes an aura that makes a girl's heart pound.
When I went to middle school, I couldn't stand Julie. Baker pestered Bryce decided to take action and he deliberately and Julie. Baker hated the school girl Shirley very much, and when the beautiful face, long blond hair, sweet and bright smile, and the whole body was filled with a fiery atmosphere, Dakota. When Shirley, played by Fanning, appeared on the big screen, it was immediately eye-catching.
Looking at the intimate behavior of the two, Julie, who has transformed into a sweet and lively beautiful girl. Baker's mood suddenly turned bad, and it wasn't until Bryce's friend revealed that Shelly's real move to get close to Shirley that she smiled and pestered Bryce again.
"Huh." See Julie. Baker's entanglement with Bryce made the fans and audiences in the theater smile with amusement.
In the evening, Julie. Baker is lying in bed, and the camera cuts to a scene where he was in the truck at the time. Baker looked at Bryce in front of him curiously, and the narrator's voice sounded: "From the time I saw Bryce. At the first sight of Luoshiqi, I was thrilled, because of his eyes, those sparkling eyes. ”
Then follow the camera to cut to Julie. Baker chased Bryce out of the truck, and when the two of them grabbed hands together and looked at each other, the narrator's voice rang out: "Then he grabbed my hand and looked at me, and my heart stopped, and that's it, this would be my first kiss, right?" It's a pity that his mother came out, he was really shy, but so cute. ”
As Bryce's mother walked out of the last narrator, Bryce broke free of her hand and ran behind her mother, looking at her with only her eyes exposed.
"Oh, the near-perfect design and control, the plot, the graphics, the soundtrack, the actors, the scenes, so far, the film is flawless." Roger. Albert secretly applauded, there is no doubt that Lin Yuquan's design on this scene is simply fantastic, one after the other, through Bryce and Julie. Baker's respective psychology and angles completely highlight the attitudes between the two, one is disgust, the other is heartbeat, and the two completely different attitudes make the story start to be interesting.
"Awesome." Zhou Jisheng of "The Beijing News" praised that in addition to the exquisite plot, beautiful pictures, and soothing and beautiful soundtrack that is just like the atmosphere, it was only then that he found that the cast and crew of "Heartbeat" did not appear at the beginning of the credits, and he had completely fallen into the rhythm of the movie after the soundtrack at the beginning.
Many viewers didn't think about this, they only knew one thing, "Heartbeat" is a very good and interesting movie, everyone's attention is focused on the big screen, full of expectations for the next plot story, women chasing men, how interesting it is! (To be continued......)
