Chapter 392: Why "The Hangover" is Popular
While Kristen was watching in the cinema, Lively and his agent were also watching.
She naturally watched it at the Huaxia Grand Theater, that is, at the premiere attended by many stars.
She was wearing a long skirt at this time, and she was not sitting in the first row, but in the second batch.
This is the first time she has watched a finished film, and Lee Shengyao did not invite her to the preview screening before.
Like Christine, she laughed a lot, especially when she saw the fat brother-in-law, who didn't speak, she couldn't help but laugh.
While she was laughing, everyone else was laughing, and the atmosphere in the whole theater was very good.
She quickly came to her senses and couldn't help but say to her agent: "Oh, this movie looks popular, it should be able to hold down Resident Evil 3." ”
Lively's agent pouted, ""Resident Evil 3" has a box office of 50 or 60 million at most, and "The Hangover" can easily surpass it, and I now think that "The Hangover" may really have a box office of 200 million US dollars. ”
"Wow, are there really that many?"
When Lively heard Lee talk about 200 million dollars on tonight's show, she was very surprised at the time, and then thought it was unlikely.
At this time, when I heard the agent say this, I couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Her agent was previously a film executive producer at Fox and is also considered a person in the film industry.
And I usually write movie reviews to make some extra money.
She knows that the agent has a certain level in terms of movie appreciation.
"Of course, Lively Movie, the audience is having a good time, but I can explain to you in detail why this movie is good."
The agent then raised the Coke, took a sip, and then said slowly: "This is an R-rated comedy, first of all, there is a strong audio-visual enjoyment, and the audio-visual here does not refer to beautiful pictures, or good music, but direct, exciting pictures, and interesting lines and dialogues." ”
"If you think about it carefully, is it from a night of madness, after those three fools woke up, all the lines and pictures are very exciting, such a direct sensory stimulation is easy to arouse the pursuit of young people."
"Today's young people like this kind of movie, why can't "Rush Hour 3", isn't it just that whether it's a fight or a funny, it's like scratching your boots?"
"And 'The Hangover' doesn't have that problem, they're very direct."
Lively thought about it and found that it was just like what the agent said.
Her agent continued: "Before the movie was released, many people ridiculed Li for not understanding the aesthetics of the audience in the beautiful country, and felt that he, a Chinese person, could not make a comedy movie that the audience in the beautiful country liked. ”
"But he didn't just shoot it, he did it very thoroughly."
"'The Hangover' doesn't have any depth, it's completely different from the previous blockbuster comedies."
"The comedies that we sold big before all had some didactic connotations, especially Jim Carrey's films, which always wanted to tell the audience some truth."
"It's actually very tiring to watch such a comedy movie, maybe they don't think so, but the audience is tired of it."
"And "The Hangover" is not like this, they are full of bad taste, black humor,, pee, and undisciplined funny."
"If you think about it carefully, isn't it very thorough, there is no serious reasoning at all."
Lively nodded, she knew this very well, because she had always felt a sense of being educated when she watched comedy movies before.
This disgusted Lively and sometimes felt very dramatic.
There is an inexplicable feeling.
I just spent ten dollars watching a movie, so why should you be so serious?
And "The Hangover" has a lot of transitions after watching it, and the three fools will meet a lot of people, but there will be no abruptness, and there will be no feeling of drama.
Under the foreshadowing of drunkenness and super-drugging, everything they did made sense.
With so many scene transitions and so many characters, it doesn't make a drama, but I watch it in one breath, and I can't help but want to know the follow-up mood.
"I like that, I think comedy should be like this, honest comedy, just make the audience laugh, not so much nonsense."
The agent nodded, "Yes, Lee handled this very successfully, and it was an important experience for others to learn from." ”
"The third point, which is more important, is also the core idea of the film."
"The movie doesn't make a big sense, it just talks about the results of several male protagonists after a crazy night."
"But from the three stupid inferences, we know how wild they are, this is a drunken attitude to life, and it is a promotion of enjoyment."
"There is no moral burden, no art appreciation, it is the pursuit of novelty and excitement, and then acting, actively participating."
"This is what many beautiful people yearn for, although we have been promoting timely fun, but the economy is getting worse and worse, our lives are getting more and more stressful, and everyone is getting more and more tired."
"At this time, everyone needs to vent, and they all need to have a hunting party without burden to release the pressure in their hearts."
"The audience at the scene was so happy to watch, it was they who brought it in."
"At this time, they forgot the pressures brought by marriage, family, work, and social environment, and the movie helped everyone temporarily break free from the shackles, and they followed the protagonists on a journey of enjoyment."
When Lively heard this, he thought about it and found that this was indeed the case.
After watching the movie by myself, I seemed to be more relaxed and comfortable.
"It's amazing, Li is a Chinese man, he understands our thoughts and needs so well, hasn't he never lived in a beautiful country?"
The agent raised his head and glanced at Li Shengyao, who was sitting in the first row.
"There are some geniuses, their abilities can't be compared with ordinary people, just like Lee, he is so young, he directed "Hurricane Rescue", "Hangover", his future achievements will definitely be even greater."
Hearing this, Lively followed and glanced at Director Li.
The lights in the theater were turned off, but under the light from the big screen, it was darker on Director Li's side.
Lively could just see Director Li's side face, handsome.
She chuckled and looked at it a few times, and then said, "Then how much do you think this movie can have at the global box office?"
"I don't know, there are 200 million in a beautiful country, and 100 million in other countries, at least 300 million, it is said that with an investment of 30 million, he has made a lot of money."
When Lively heard this, he couldn't help but look at Director Li again.
Young, talented, and rich, there are very few such men in Hollywood.
She couldn't help but feel a little moved and took out her mobile phone, but thinking that Li Shengyao had a girlfriend in Huaxia, she put the mobile phone back.
The agent continued: "If "Hurricane Rescue" and "The Hangover" can be made into a series of movies, then Lee will be a first-class commercial director in Hollywood after making these movies." ”
Hearing this, Lively took out his phone again, and then sent a text message to Li Shengyao.
