The Best Director

Chapter 230 Gambling movie counterattack!

"Hahaha……"

As Jim and Michelle completed their wedding on the big screen, the screening of "American Pie 3" came to an end soon, and the audience in the theater began to leave. The young couple Sarina and Marcus also laughed and talked to leave. They all think that the movie is okay, and it’s a bit of a joke; but the formula is obviously clichéd, those jokes and jokes have already been played in the first two movies, this one is like a gas tank without much fuel,

Looks tired and uninteresting most of the time. Especially after watching "The Hangover" at the beginning of the year, they, like many people, feel that these comedies and R-rated comedies are either outdated; It's also too naive, and none of them can keep up with the footsteps of "The Hangover". And what about Las Vegas 2, which opens tonight?

Sharina looked at her watch, there was still time tonight, she still couldn't let go of director Miracle Young, Natalie... Due to the difference in film length, "-21-em" seemed to be finished in more than ten minutes, Sarina thought about it and asked, "Marcus, shall we continue to watch the new movie of Miracle Yang?"

"Well, I don't know, you decide." Marcus shook his head hesitantly. The card counting and story of that movie made them very interested, but the choice of the leading actor made them choose to watch "American Pie 3" first, and then watch "American Pie 3". The evaluation decides whether to watch "21". Seeing people coming in and out, buying tickets and leaving the movie theater, Sarina said, "Wait a minute, I'm going to the bathroom."

After going to the bathroom and adjusting her makeup, Selina took out her mobile phone when she saw that it was almost time, and called a sister who said she wanted to watch "The First Scene", and asked with a smile: "Hey, Ellie, have you watched "" Is it so good-looking?" Immediately there was a sighing girl's laughter: "Oh, it's indescribable! Absolutely beautiful, you really didn't watch it? Haha, you must regret it..."

"Are you still watching "American Pie 3"?" Claire asked her boyfriend as she walked out of the auditorium in a happy mood. Adam had no interest on his face, his mind was full of poker now, and he said, "I'll see it on Sunday, I want to go home and look up things like blackjack and card counting." Claire nodded indifferently. American Pie 3 has no enthusiasm.

", I'll go home and write a movie review! It's called...'A perfect brainstorm!'" Claire smiled and walked out of the cinema, but Adam who was beside him was very suspicious: "Did I hear correctly? You write a movie review ?”

Claire asked with a "what's the big deal" expression, "I can't do it?" Adam wondered, "What newspaper?" Claire said proudly, "Blog! I've written a lot of movie reviews, and now The volume is very high! I also earned an advertising fee."

"Blog? B1gger's blog? Why didn't I see it?" Adam suddenly became more suspicious, and Claire shrugged and smiled: "I have several blogs,

I haven't told you yet, I want to talk about some results. In the beginning, I just tried to have fun. Last year, I watched "Sweetheart" and wrote it casually. Then I continued to write a few articles about "The Ninth District". It was nothing. However, it has become more and more popular recently, and it should be because I have written better. "

She said excitedly: "Adam, I found out that I have the talent in this area, and I want to become... a film critic included in Rotten Tomatoes! Now I can make money by blogging..." Adam didn't hit her to anger her, probably That is tens of thousands, hehe replied: "Do it!"

"Oh my God! You didn't go to see it tonight? It's a pity for you. Of course it looks great, Black Jack!" In the elegant girl's bedroom, Evelyn looked at the computer screen, with her right hand holding the mouse; her left hand held the phone receiver, and sighed Said: "After watching Jeff-Ma and the others, I really want to go now, ah! But I will go to uf next month...Forget it, I will organize a uf-21-em. I am Amanda, Ha ha!"

She said with a smile, and logged on to the imdb website to open the main page of "-21-em", and gave a score without hesitation. After the score, the total score was still 8.5, and she wrote a short review: "It almost made me faint cool!"

Opened Google again and searched for "choose three doors, paradox", Evelyn smiled into the microphone: "It's the role played by Natalie, it's so cool!" She has many, many problems now, and the movie makes them become Funny, didn't figure out she couldn't sleep...

"..." In the suite bedroom of the Caesar Hotel, Wang Yang slept very soundly, and the sound of breathing could be faintly heard. Although there was a celebration banquet after the screening, Jessica, who was lying sideways beside her, was very energetic. She propped her head up with one hand and looked at his sleeping face with a smile. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that he seemed to have relaxed. Recently, he sometimes Quirky, maybe it's the tension and stress of a movie release, and now a good night's sleep!

Jessica smiled and reached out to stroke his face gently. Wang Yang didn't seem to respond, and his mouth moved slightly: "%#%#...Joshua, think about it..." She couldn't help laughing, did you mean Joshua? Dreaming about Joshua, are you teaching him how to make movies?

"Please, what did you do! I want a ring!" In a hazy dream, Wang Yang pointed at the aggrieved Joshua, and said frantically, "Have you not found out from her magazine collection after so many days? Do you want to go there yourself? That's too obvious! No, prop master, I want a ring!"

There are more and more people rating on imdb. The next day, it quickly rose to 91,163 users participating in ratings, and the score on the main page stabilized at 8.2/, which is currently the highest score in the range of gambling and cheating movies. The highest-grossing gambling film "Mahua Li" is only 6.7/points, with 18,977 rating users; the leader of "Liar" "How to Get Away with Law" is 7.8/points, with 146,315 rating users.

The power of the "idol director" and the quality of the film have long been integrated, but there are several other well-known statistics that fans will not score. The website rated the same score as "The Hangover".

Rotten Tomatoes audiences like it 92%. Although it is not as good as the original 95% of "The Hangover", the audience's comments are also full of praise. "Cool!" seems to have a herd effect, appearing in the list of comments on every page, and there is an official comment on Rotten Tomatoes: "-21-em members are the coolest group of people on the screen this year, and they teamed up Created a real feast of entertainment."

"This movie is so wanton! It's not a pejorative, it breaks the Hollywood way."

User Dean-d seemed so excited, he marked it with five stars and wrote a long review: "I can't describe how much I love it, I've been taught the Hollywood way, stale, clichéd, clichéd, uninteresting... ...There is nothing here, only the thrill of being crazy and obeying wisdom, indulgence and obeying the law! Everyone in the movie is so beat up, but you have to admit that you are overwhelmed by their IQ, and you want to be that kind of person! So they So cute again."

"What surprises me even more is that this is a Hollywood ending, but not a Hollywood ending. The team members are still chic and happy. They haven't delayed their studies or lost their dreams. It sounds so unreal, but it's true. Fantastic Yang He didn't take the opportunity to teach, but carefully brought a series of exciting poker games, love this young guy! He knows what we want!!"

Dean-d did not forget to write at the end: "Natalie Terman's performance is also amazing! How can she act so well? It's cool."

Lewis - Comments: "Cool, funny, professional! A bunch of numbers are still spinning in my head, it's the best gambling movie I've ever seen, all the old card counting movies suddenly look ridiculous, including The Hangover "." Roy wrote: ""21" is a bit like "Ocean's Eleven", which gave me the same exciting viewing experience. The Heaven's Strongest Abandoned Young Master, the Great Zhou Royal Family will kill the gods in the night to seek the throne of the gods and the seal of the gods. God will kill God in the night and seal the throne of gods to seek the demons, the world's strongest and the most abandoned young Zhou royal family. It is based on real life events, and it doesn't make me worry about not knowing how to keep them away from the casino, but just enjoy the story." ...

"I like its editing and soundtrack, some details, some pictures are very impressive!" Jennifer said, Jon-1 said: "It's much better than I expected! Fantastic Yang did a right thing, that It just taught the casino a lesson." Andrew - said: "Magic Yang told us that the Chinese and the Jews are good at mathematics, and they can win millions in one night together. But damn, did you win the jackpot in the end?"

Martin-Chen, whose profile picture is black Asian, wrote: "provided a lot of fun, amazing talent and unforgettable scenes, no matter the bar, classroom, casino is so cool, thanks to the amazing Yang!" White black girl Randy-m wrote: "All I have to say is, MY! Fantastic Jan's movie does not disappoint, everything is super cool! Jan's cameo is hilarious!" Nick-wrote: "The director is cool It's smart, the actors are cool and smart, and then we get this talent-indulgent film." …

There are a lot of praises for the director and the actors in the comments. Like Yilan, there are countless movie fans who say "Natalie and Magic Young are the best combination!", and Rachel's performance is also widely praised: "She played a character who tried her best to calm herself and was arrogant and arrogant in her heart!" At the same time, Alexis' performance was also praised. Andy-q wrote: "Magic Yang completely captured her temperament It's so cute, I believe she will have a bright future on the screen!"

The leading actor Wu Yanzu has naturally received a lot of praise. No matter what skin color, once you watch the movie calmly, the acting is good or bad. It just depends on the audience. - Wu performed very well." Ciara said: "I like Daniel Wu, his image is novel and unique, this is the truth, isn't it?"

It's hard for a movie to please everyone, and obviously "-21-em" is not that kind of movie, except for the 92% praise, shouts of coolness, and some intermediate comments: "On a sleepy afternoon, it can Let you beat the time well." There are also 8% of the audience who don't like it, because it is boring, the group is not punished, it is like an admissions movie, it is not fun enough, and the sense of threat is not enough...

On Saturday afternoon, the box office data for Friday, August 1st was freshly released. The newly released "American Pie 3" took second place in 3172 theaters. The champion of this day is "-21-em" in 3354 theaters. It swept 18.64 million box office, and it is expected to exceed 10,000 on the weekend;

This achievement surprised Flame Films and Wang Yang somewhat. The influence of the Chinese-American actor was not as great as expected, and the audience accepted it calmly like the hit Kung Fu movie "Rush Hour".

Maybe it's the attraction of the best director; maybe it's the presence of Natalie Terman and Rachel McAdams; maybe it's the fact that the Chinese-American actor was made clear to the audience at the beginning of the promotion; maybe it's the truth The story is quite attractive, and it is also true that Jeff Ma is of Chinese descent.

The after-show survey of the theater company showed some things. "-21-em" not only attracted young people to join in the show, but also middle-aged and elderly people in the audience. The proportion divided by 25 years old is %:% , and the ratio of male to female is also %:%, there is no doubt that this is the most perfect audience combination for a movie, no matter men, women or children, they love it.

"It's very exciting to be able to appeal to all audiences, men and women, old and young. The holy king will kill the gods in the night and ask for the throne of the gods and gods. Demon Aoshi Ninth Heaven, Strongest Abandoned Young Dazhou Royal Clan God General Night Kill God God Seal Throne Begging Demon Aoshi Ninth Heaven Strongest Abandoned Young Great Zhou Royal Another life, this is the coolest part of it.” Flame movie line Simon G-Willis, head of the department, told the "Los Angeles Times" that he said with a smile: "Young said, 'We can expect more now.' Indeed, "-21-em" is definitely worth watching. "

The box office statistics website has attributed the expected success of "21" to the following factors: "An irresistible director, a cast full of expectations, a compelling story, and, as always, excellent marketing."

The calendar on the wall was turned over and over again, and countless audiences came in and out of theaters across North America every day, and the ratings and comments of imdb and Rotten Tomatoes were also added every day. Soon, the weekend of August 1-3 will be over. Well, "-21-em" won the championship without any suspense, with a box office of 49.67 million US dollars. If there is a showdown, it just won more than one million from "How to Get Away with Law".

"American Pie 3" was directly defeated by it. It has 45% freshness of film critics and 65% audience liking. On the weekend, there was also Wan's "Special Agent 3", followed by "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" at 140,000...

1mrer commented on the weekend box office report, and editor Bloom described this week’s champion: “It’s the expected big comeback of gambling movies, a work with the ability to create new records, and now no one can stop the magic Yang’s footsteps.” He also has some sympathy "American Pie 3": "This movie is actually not that bad. If you hate it, you hate "The Hangover".

The opening box office of 49.67 million weekends, Rotten Tomatoes still has a 92% like rate, which makes people see the audience's enthusiasm and love for "-21-em"; and they are very concerned about the youngest Golden Globe Award and Oscar Award for Best Director's new movie critics The world has already given its own answer. There are 5 film reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, of which 174 are fresh and 31 are rotten. The freshness of popular film critics is 85%, and the freshness of well-known film critics is 10%.

"An over-exaggerated story, what on earth is Wang Yang trying to say? This is more like a hideous show." - Mike Lane, "Northwest Herald"; The soundtrack is beautiful, but disappointingly, Wang Yang doesn't want to discuss any issues from the beginning to the end, it is so arrogant and empty. The end credits also tells us, maybe there is no problem? Maybe." -David Bee Yass, Atlantic City Journal; "Two hours watching them walk around, with some interesting details, but mostly repetitive and dull." --Sean Fraser, Chicago Reader …

Among the 31 rotten movie reviews, most of them accused the movie of having no connotation. Hollywood formulas and clichés are of course cast aside by everyone; but once almost all of them are gone, not everyone will be satisfied. After all, clichéd good words are still good words . Of course, "-21-em" is not about being unrepentant or stubborn, but about going away and returning to the past. 85% of the film critics enjoyed this entertainment feast to their heart's content.

"Because we can. That pride and self-confidence, that winning mentality of knowing what you're doing, runs through this relentless, original film." —Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News;" Made me sit willingly, and didn't want to miss a scene or a line (that would confuse you), all expectations were fulfilled, and it was a blast!" - Betsy Shaggy, Los Angeles Times ;"Extremely convincing storyline, delightful duel of acting, Fantastic Young's most enjoyable movie, cool!" -Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel …
