The headline of the entertainment section of the Kyoto Daily newspaper expressed his opinion on "Hurricane Rescue" in eye-catching words, mentioning in the report: "Agents, family affection, drag racing, gambling, action fighting, there are many genres in "Hurricane Rescue", and each of them is so dazzling and fascinating." In terms of agent genre components, Tang Feng's elegant and calm infiltration action made the agent hero James on the screen in the past. Bond, Ethan. Hunter, Jason. Byrne was all eclipsed; In terms of family affection, although it is not as in-depth as a single emotional movie, the bits and pieces of Tang Feng and Kate, who are not related by blood, are touching enough;

In terms of drag racing genre components, it makes the drag racing movie "Fast and Furious", which is known for its hot scenes, seem to be nothing but rude violence; In terms of gambling genre, although the time is short, the dazzling gambling skills have made the pinnacle of gambling films "God of Gamblers" faintly overpowered; And action fighting, do you need to talk about it? There is no one in this world who does a better job than Lin Yuquan, and his fight with Dwayne Rock and others is definitely the best in the same type of film in recent years.

What's even more commendable is that Lin Yuquan perfectly integrates this qiē, making the whole movie look handsome, moving, warm, thrilling, exciting, hot, and dreamy, there is no doubt that this is the best action movie of this century. ”

The headline on the entertainment section of Guangming Daily read, "Hurricane Rescue" -- a solo show for Lin Yuquan. ”

"The amazing cooking skills, drag racing, gambling skills, coupled with Lin Yuquan's iconic action design, this is completely a personal show of Lin Yuquan, and what is even more amazing is that each part of it has created the pinnacle of the same type of film, the level of cooking is stronger than "God of Food", drag racing is stronger than "Fast and Furious", gambling is stronger than "God of Gamblers", and action design is stronger than "Mission Impossible", Lin Yuquan has shown his more versatile skills, as if announcing everyone, not only action movies, if it is a cooking movie, Drag racing movies, gambling movies, he will still be the best one! ”

"The story is still old-fashioned, the lone hero is resourceful and athletic, going deep into the tiger's den and catching them all. However, the placement of the emotional core and the establishment of the relationship between the characters make "Hurricane Rescue" look new, not only with exciting and hot action scenes to feed your eyeballs, but also secret, subtle, and moisturizing silent emotional scenes to tease your heart. The Times.

"The plump characterization, the gorgeous and dreamy drag racing and gambling scenes, the gripping and intense fights, the well-controlled rhythm, the extremely textured graphics, and the excellent psychological construction of this film couldn't be more perfect." Oriental Daily.

"It's hard to imagine that this is the first urban genre film directed by Lin Yuquan, when everyone focuses on the film's destined exciting action fights, Lin Yuquan is very surprised to bring us too much aesthetic visual impact enjoyment, well, I'm already looking forward to Lin Yuquan's next movie, and after showing more versatile skills, if he announces the shooting of comedy, science fiction, horror movies, I am not surprised at all, some are just looking forward to it." The Mirror.

Not only in China, but also in other parts of Asia, "Hurricane Rescue" is also like a bombshell, after its release, it suddenly caused a sensation in the entire media film critics and fans, and countless overwhelming praises poured towards this most eye-catching action movie.

Relatively speaking, filmmakers are more concerned about the box office of the film "Hurricane Rescue".

"Xiaogang, how much do you expect the box office of "Hurricane Rescue" to be on the first day?" Xu Wan said with a smile to Feng Bigang, who was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper.

"I can't predict it, but 20 million is definitely fine." Feng Bigang glanced up at Xu Wan and said.

"20 million, that's a great box office number, if your "Assembly" has such a high box office, it must be very good." Xu Man said with a smile.

"Of course it's good, but it's almost impossible, first of all, the number of films on the screen is definitely not as high as "Hurricane Rescue", and secondly, in terms of the appeal of my personal brand, Yuquan is now throwing me a few streets." Feng Bigang shrugged his shoulders and said casually.

"Heh, you don't have to worry, according to the momentum of "Hurricane Rescue" now, it will definitely have a huge impact on the box office in the next few weeks." Xu Wan said.

"I'm in a hurry, when my "Assembly" is released, it will already be the third week of "Hurricane Rescue", and it won't be my turn to be in a hurry." Feng Bigang said meaningfully.

"You mean Chen Kexin." Xu Wan reacted quickly.

"Of course, who else but him."

"Whew." Looking at the commercial buildings in the distance, Chen Kexin let out a long breath, his face could not hide his worry and anxiety, although he had long expected that "Hurricane Rescue" would be very exciting, but the wonderful Cheng Dù of the film still far exceeded his expectations.

There is no shortage of excellent commercial directors in Hong Kong, but there is no director who can reach the extreme in all aspects as all-round as Lin Yuquan, which can be called a combination of an enhanced version of Wu Yusen plus Wang Jin and Xu Ke.

If I had known that this was the case, I would rather put the schedule in the summer of next year, rather than be caught between Lin Yuquan and Feng Bigang.

The current situation is undoubtedly very dangerous, due to the competition between the three films, if "Vote for Fame" does not get enough box office in the first two weeks, it will fall into a situation where it is difficult to recover the investment cost.

"Hey, I don't know if the box office is out?" Sighing again, Chen Kexin followed and dialed the phone number of China Film Han Shanping.

Compared with Chen Kexin's sad face, Lin Yuquan's mood is quite good, on the one hand, of course, the premiere of the movie in the evening, the audience in the theater responded very well, and then Ding Zhi and Chris. Anderson had good news for him.

"Okay, got it, tell me if there is an anomaly at the box office." Lin Yuquan hung up the phone with a smile.

"Brother Yuquan, has the domestic box office come out on the first day?" A voice suddenly came out from behind Lin Yuquan, who was it not Liu Yifei.

"Hmm." Lin Yuquan nodded: "Not only the domestic box office has come out, but also the first-day box office of South Korea, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places that were released early have also come out." ”

"Oh, so many regions, what is the box office!" Liu Yifei showed a curious look in his eyes.

"The domestic is 27.4 million, Hong Kong is 8.68 million Hong Kong dollars, South Korea is 2.61 million US dollars, and Japan is 4.32 million US dollars," Lin Yuquan told Liu Yifei about the box office.

"Wow, what a high box office, congratulations, Brother Yuquan!" Liu Yifei said happily.

"Ha, thank you Yifei!" Lin Yuquan said happily that so far, the box office of "Hurricane Rescue" is really good.

"Brother Yuquan, will the box office of "Hurricane Rescue" break the global box office of "Painted Skin" this time?" Liu Yifei asked with concern.

"Who knows? It depends on the next European and American premiere box office and box office trends in various places, let's not talk about this, let's go back and continue to eat, by the way, how did you run out? ”

"I saw Brother Yuquan come out to answer the phone, it is estimated that the box office should be out, so I am more curious about the box office."

The two walked into the restaurant as they spoke.

And on the second day, just like in China, "Hurricane Rescue" received numerous praises in the United States, with a comprehensive media evaluation of 78 points, 84 fresh tomatoes on Rotten Tomatoes, 156 fresh tomatoes, 29 smashed Rotten Tomatoes, CinemaScore score B+, Lin Yuquan after "Huo Yuanjia", "Red Cliff", "Painted Skin" Another shocking masterpiece, "Newsweek", "New York Daily News", "Washington Post", "Chicago Sun", "Hollywood Reporter", "Baltimore Sun", The Premiere, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Weekly, The New York Post, The Chicago Tribune, The Austin Chronicle, The Rolling Stone, The Boston Globe, USA Today, and most other media outlets have given high scores of A or A-, with praise in black and white.

"It's obviously an action movie that focuses on physical combat and flaunts personal heroism, but you must admit that the excitement in the film is far more than that", "Impeccable director, vivid and vivid performances, dazzling and dreamy cooking, drag racing, gambling demonstrations, hearty fights, smooth and compact narrative rhythm, what is perfection?" That's perfection! ”

"Once again, Kung Fu Lin has shown his genius and versatility, and it's hard to imagine a director who can shoot so many genre components in one film with such incredible perfection, and thank you Lin for providing us with such an emotional, thrilling, exciting, and bloody must-see masterpiece, without a doubt, 'Hurricane Rescue' – the most exciting action movie of the century."

"A very interesting and wonderful movie, the highlight of the film is not only the wonderful action fights, but also the emotional waves in the characters' hearts and the visual surprises that come to you in waves", "Believe me, of course, it's best to experience it yourself, "Hurricane Rescue" is definitely a screen feast"

The most talked-about film has become the darling of the most media coverage, and there is no doubt that "Hurricane Rescue" is such a movie, but "Hurricane Rescue" is not the highest-rated media among the new films released in the same period, not even the second.

Kayla. Knightley's "Atonement" was the biggest winner in this regard, with a media overall rating of 85 (B+ on Yahoo; Rotten Tomatoes website freshness 86:92 support:15 against), currently in the Oscar front behind 91 points of "No Country for Old Men" and "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly", 88 points of "Once", 86 points of "The Savages", temporarily ranked fifth in the year. Numerous media outlets have given it perfect marks, and the Chicago Sun's Roger Murphy. Albert even bluntly said: "This is the best movie of the year!" ”

Under such evaluation, "Atonement" is also widely optimistic about being a popular film for next year's Olympic Games, and it is indiscriminately strong in the 11 awards of Best Picture, Director, Best Actor, Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Adapted Screenplay, Photography, Editing, Art Direction, Costume Design, and Soundtrack.

As for "Hurricane Rescue", which ranks second is "Juno", which is only screened in 7 theaters, this light comedy film about a girl with an unexpected big belly who has no direction due to contraception and gradually finds herself in the process of finding adoptive parents for her belly and flesh has unsurprisingly conquered discerning critics, achieving a good score of 81 points in the media comprehensive review (A- on Yahoo, 93:76 in favor of Rotten Tomatoes: 6 against), and is expected to be the center of the actress and the Best Original Screenplay awards.

Another Oscar-winning "Happiness Is Gone" 66 media reviews (B- on Yahoo, 68:26 on Rotten Tomatoes) is also good. Cusack is considered a promising bid for the Best Actor award.

In stark contrast to the positive reviews of the four new films "Hurricane Rescue", "Atonement", "Juno", and "Happiness Is Gone" is the measly 51-point media review of "Dark Materials: The Golden Compass", "Panicked and exhausted, lest the task of advancing the plot will not be completed!" "The director only copied the surface of the original work, with superficial means, impetuous attitude, and outright superficial articles! "Over-reliance on CG, the director is listless, stiff and dull" In addition to the "Chicago Sun" family praise, all negative reviews occupy the mainstream, and such a clumsy reputation is not difficult to predict that the film may be doomed, about to become Nicole. The ninth part of Kidman's box office poison name is a victim.

"Yuquan, how much is the North American box office?" As soon as Lin Yuquan hung up the phone, Jiang Yan, Liu Yifei and others surrounded him.

Lin Yuquan glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "$30.15 million." ”R1152
