"Mirren, what are you looking at?" Judy jumped to the door like a bunny with her school bag in her hand.

She wears a blue sweater with a white shirt on the upper body, a red pleated skirt and white stockings on the lower body, and small leather shoes.

When she walked into the empty classroom, she saw Mirren at a glance.

He was sitting in his chair flipping through magazines.

"I'm looking for a movie to watch over the weekend...... Judy. Mirren looked up, looked at Judy, and let out a whoop sound.

"What's wrong?" Judy wore a ponytail today, with yellow plastic earrings in her ears, and the whole person looked like a dress in an American youth movie.

"I think...... Uh, you're kind of cute today. ”

Mirren's language skills have evolved a lot during this time, at least he has dared to tell Judy what he really thinks, although he is still far from confession.

But the relationship between the two has also skyrocketed, and Mirren can be regarded as enjoying the limelight of a well-known person in the school.

Now the guys on the basketball and football teams are a little angry when they see him, and they always think that he stole Judy.

"Movies? Well, is there anything to look at? ”

Judy pulled a chair over to Mirren and took a sip of the water bottle in front of him.

"The film review said that 'Chicago' was good, you see."

Mirren handed Judy the Film Review, then took back her water and took a sip while she was reading the magazine.

Judy didn't pay attention to his small movements, she was already silently reading the movie review of Nikita, the editor of the magazine.

"Written on the front: When God robs us of our sense of security in food, then our luxury is only sex—Marilyn Monroe."

"Before I watched the movie, I never thought I could stare at the movie screen for an hour and a half.

"In fact, before the film started, because I had seen the news about the infighting in the crew some time ago, I had very low expectations for it and didn't think it would bring me any surprises.

"Coupled with the fact that 'Moulin Rouge' became famous, there was an influx of musical and dance films into the market, but very few were remembered, so I thought that 'Chicago' was just trying to replicate the success of its predecessors and achieve the so-called commercial box office value.

"But when the movie ended, I couldn't help but stand up and applaud the rest of the group, marveling at the crew's excellent presentation of the original Broadway show.

"Forgive me for having to jump to the conclusion that Chicago is going to be the best musical and dance film of the year, and there isn't one. As for why, I will explain to you from three aspects.

"First of all, the most important thing in a song and dance film is, of course, dance, which was the most glamorous appearance of Chicago in that era.

"Laugh, come, keep laughing, dance, keep dancing, spin, spin, spin! Every scene in "Chicago" is bound to be accompanied by a lively dance step, and even something as frightening as killing is made easy under this charming dance step.

"So in terms of choreography, out of 10, I can give it a nine. The original repertoire has been rearranged by the creative team to make it more suitable for the medium of film, and there are several very imaginative dances, puppets, human cars, and dream switches, which I still find amazing when I look back on it.

"But it's only worth 7 points, and I'm going to give the photographer the other 2 points. Because his camera movement is different from the ordinary stage, the camera of "Chicago" is very bold and gives a more detailed description, beads of sweat on the forehead, hard fingers, and tight feet. These scenes are interspersed with intense solo dances, which further highlight the expressiveness of the two heroines.

"At the same time, the long shot at the beginning is also fascinating, a full three minutes, in one go, without the slightest trace of editing. Even at the big turn, there was no disobedience, which made me sigh in surprise. This obviously didn't match the shoddy work that the former photographer had said, and it kept me excited throughout the whole view, always looking forward to the next great shot and dance.

"Arguably, the adaptation of this film is the most perfect of all the adaptations of the Chicago play."

And the previous media judgment of it was unrealistic, it was not the product of hastily working after "Moulin Rouge" became popular. It's unique, and with the help of Renee Siegway and Catherine Zeta-Jones, it's a classic of song and dance.

"After talking about the dance and the camera, let's talk about the color of the picture. In my opinion, the film is very skillful and even brilliant in its use of colors, whether it is the white of Renee's solo dance, the black and red of the prison group dance, and the wood color of the manipulation of the media. All represent the dancer's background and her state of mind. In particular, the red color of Catherine's solo dance, which turns Catherine into a silhouette, leaving only the violent body movements, is undoubtedly a novel and breakthrough experience.

"It also made me see more clearly the strength and ups and downs of Catherine's every move, and I have to praise whoever came up with it. We can finally break through the old ideas of some song and dance films and usher in some fresh changes. ”

"In the end, there is the plot, but I can't say too much about the plot, because I'm afraid of spoilers. But I can sum up the film in a few words.

"The rules of Chicago are never dictated by these sexy stunners. It is absurd, bizarre, full of money worship and crazy thoughts, and countless people live for the instant shine of the magnesium lamp, and also die because of the turning off of the magnesium lamp. To borrow Dickens's words, this was the most noisy and quiet age.

"So no one is a winner, a winner, and takes it all. The stunners only shined on the stage for a short time, and they just finished singing "Fifty Years Unchanged" at the finale, and they were about to face 1929. That time when the American stock market collapsed, the Great Depression. ”

Judy finished reading the last sentence and looked up at Mirren, "Let's go see this movie on the weekend." ”

"No problem!" Mirren readily agreed.

In addition to the lengthy review of the Film Review, the Hollywood Reporter newspaper also had a front-page review of the subject.

Journalist Russell wrote: "Contrary to all expectations, this Chicago is presented to us with a quality that far exceeds expectations. Whether it is the actors' acting skills, choreography, artistic level and lens language, they are among the top in the genre of song and dance films, and although director Rob Marshall has been unknown before, this film will make him a household name.

At the same time, there are many impressive images in the film, such as Renee Zellweger's solo dance, such as the switch between reality and dream in the control of the jury, and the sexy and charming but also powerful nightclub dance at the beginning, which is very enjoyable.

"An hour and a half in front of this movie will even give the reporter himself the illusion that it is too short, which undoubtedly confirms its wonderfulness.

"So if you don't know what to do in your free time on the weekend, you might as well go to the theater and enjoy a singing and dancing feast, compared to the high ticket prices of hundreds of dollars on Broadway, Chicago is undoubtedly a better choice."

In addition to the media that seriously commented on the film, there were also entertainment newspapers that published more radical and personalized reviews, refuting the previous news from Dieng.

"Who said the film was badly made, messily managed, and wasted the original repertoire? Why did I see the complete opposite, dazzling stage scenes, imaginative dream switching, amazing dance performances and all kinds of wonderful camera movements? This is a song and dance film with top production specifications! ”

"I love it! It's the same place in my heart as Moulin Rouge! This is a song and dance film, this is the movie we want to see! None of what the former photographer said came true, and his words were comparable to that of a circus clown. ”

"Judging from the actual look and feel of the film, the former cinematographer is undoubtedly lying, perhaps out of jealousy, that being pointed out to a mistake in his work made him choose to slander his original crew and try to deceive reporters and audiences."

Naturally, Dieng could not bear these comments, and he gave interviews to several newspapers in a row to refute such statements.

But then more blame came out of various media, and some even questioned him for receiving money from movies released at the same time and deliberately smearing "Chicago".

Although they are tabloids or reporters, Dieng still feels like his life has fallen into a dung pit, dark and unable to breathe.

As a last resort, he could only temporarily stop his defense, hide at home, and no longer give interviews.

Seeing this, Miramax also increased the budget for publicity, and began to make the crew members show their faces frequently in major media and TV shows.

Tang De and Jimmy have seen the two heroines and directors appear in three different talk and interview shows in the past two days.

That is, under the environment where various film critics have given praise and advertisements are bombarded wildly, the audience's expectations for this movie have also reached the highest point.

On December 10, the movie "Chicago" was officially released, and the already hungry audience flocked to the movie theaters waving the dollars in their hands.

In just one week, "Chicago" earned $38.9 million in the United States! Ranked first among movies in the same schedule!

At the same time, the evaluation of the movie by the audience and major websites was released.

"Rotten Tomatoes freshness 91%! IMDB Rating 80! ”

"The media says the film will be one of the strongest contenders for next year's Oscar winners!"

"Woohoo!" In the CAA office, Carl threw the newspaper in his hand into the sky and laughed out loud, even though the film had nothing to do with him no matter how high the box office was.

But Tang De is responsible for himself, and the more famous he is in Hollywood, the higher his status as an agent.

If Donde can win an Oscar, then he can also claim to be the agent of the Oscar winner when he goes out, and this feeling is not comparable to being touted in the company.

So after reading the recent report, Carl hurried to the elevator, planning to take the initiative to talk to Vice President Edinson about the follow-up plan.

Chapter 107 has been revised.,I originally wanted to write a two-line seamless parallel.,But it's still not enough pen power.,Too little time to think.,It's a bit messy.。

So it was changed again
