The Best Director

Chapter 262 Dance Out of My Life

On Friday, March 17, "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" was shown in 16 theaters in North America; "Dancing Out of My Life" also had 2,951 theaters.

Although there is no trace of Wang Yang in the cast and crew, die-hard fans of flame musicals and many ordinary audience fans still walked into the theater with great interest. Since "Song and Dance Youth Net" in 1999, they have watched at least one song and dance movie every year. Movies have become a habit for many people. How to say "Dancing Out of My Life" also has a flame brand, with the director of "Sweetheart" Anne-Fletcher and the continued system settings, as well as a new handsome man and beautiful woman Channing-Tatu who came out of nowhere Tom and Jenna Dewan are much more attractive than other Qingnet musicals.

Wang Yang and Jessica joined hands to attend the screening of "Dancing Out of My Life" held at the Shenandoah Theater, to support Anne-Fletcher, and at the same time attract the attention of more media filmmakers and bring enough publicity. I have to say that this is a bit of "stealing the limelight". This is the first public photo of the two after their engagement, suits, evening dresses, engagement rings, sweet smiles...

The sound of "click click" sounded one after another, and the cameras in the hands of the reporters flashed dazzlingly, and they all made up their minds to take enough pictures. Various interview questions did not stop: "How does it feel to be engaged?" , "Jessica, how many carats are in your ring? It looks small, Jan, that seems stingy!", "Jan, it has always been rumored that you are a good dancer, but no one has seen your dance moves ,is this real?"……

Both of them had no intention of stealing the limelight. They stayed on the red carpet and the interview area for a while, greeted Anne Fletcher and others, then walked into the backstage of the theater, and soon went to the screening hall to sit down.

Soon there was no vacant seat in the auditorium. The crew, reporters and audience made the screening hall full of people. While everyone was laughing and talking, the screening was about to start. Like all flame movies, only the flapping of wings could be heard in a quiet environment. The brisk voice, moths and butterflies dancing on the big screen, "step-up" begins! The explosive r\u0026b songs and the hot dances all delighted the young audience, and they almost couldn't help whistling; but the film critics didn't react, they were silent.

"I've always envied you guys who can dance. You must have killed a lot, a lot of people when you were in school." Watching Jenna Diwan's sexy dance on the big screen, Wang Yang smiled and patted Jie next to him. Sika's palm, she rolled her eyes and said, "God knows I didn't start dance lessons until I was 17." She raised the corner of her mouth and smiled, and leaned over to suppress Ye's voice: "I know you are actually praising yourself, you are the best Yes, such a dance champion." Wang Yang shook her hand gently and said with a smile, "Thank you, I love you very much."

Whether Wang Yang is a dance champion or not, the movie audience in the screening hall does not know; but judging from the publicity of "step-up", the dancing skills of the actors on the screen have reached the professional level, and there are many supporting roles and fighting dancers. The enemies are all real professional dancers. Not a single shot uses stand-ins or post-dubbing of any kind,

Everything should try its best to be as real and vivid as possible. This is Anne Fletcher's strong requirement, which is true from the "Blue Music" series, "Sweetheart" to "step-up".

Therefore, apart from the real professional dancers in this screening hall, the person with the highest level of dance is most likely Jessica who started to learn dance at the age of 17, and has been with her throughout her teenage years, and is still practicing to this day.

Until the last scene of the film fell, the ending song sounded and the credits rolled up on the screen, there was a burst of warm applause from the audience in the Shenandoah Theater, and the young audience and friends whispered, although there was no exciting story, But the wonderful singing and dancing are definitely worth the ticket price. Wang Yang and Jessica also stood up and applauded, giving praise to Fletcher and the crew.

In fact, Wang Yang has already watched this theatrical version, and he thought it was ok, so Huo Huo announced that he would make "Dancing Out of My Life 2"; Anne-Fletcher has a lot of experience. Compared with the current version, it is more exciting and novel, but it still seems a bit weak and old-fashioned in terms of sub-camera and story expression, but as always, the exquisite and attentive dance scenes are enough to make the audience feel A pleasant and satisfying evening.

"Thank you, thank you!" Anne Fletcher in a white dress smiled all over her face. The applause must be so beautiful. She clapped her hands and looked towards Miracle Yang, only to see him standing upright with a smile. thumb! Fletcher also returned a thumbs up and continued to applaud: "Thank you for your efforts!"

"It's not bad. It's not as exciting and interesting as "Sweetheart". Of course, it's not as amazing as Yang." The audience in the theater screening hall was leaving, and Claire and Janet walked out of the theater in the aisle, thinking about the movie just minutes ago, she said. : "But it's okay, its theme is very inspirational, and those dances are really professional." Janet nodded in agreement: "Yes, without Magic Yang, it's like something is missing, there are no surprises."

"We like to call that talent, a good director can inject energy into the film!" During the conversation, Claire came to the outside corridor, making hand movements, and said in a vague way: "You know what? "Sweetheart" is like a Ice cream in summer; now step-up, maybe like an ice cream. What's the point? It doesn't hit your heart, Magic Young always hits the heart, great Magic Young!"

Listening to her "I'm very professional" tone, Janet said a little uncomfortably: "It seems that your film review has already appeared in the newspaper?" Claire laughed a few times, and said mysteriously: "You know? I have submitted articles to several newspapers and magazines, and a newspaper is very interested in me as a 'blog film critic', and I have a great chance of getting an appointment." Janet suddenly said happily: "Is this true? Wow, congratulations! "The two clapped their hands together: "sure-in!"

The screening of "step-up" was just a "leisure" time for one night, and Wang Yang continued to run forward on the track of his busy life the next day.

"Margaret, don't rush me, I'm thinking... wait, there's something wrong with the length of this scene." In the editing room of "The Devil Wears Prada", Wang Yang stood in front of the editing computer, looking at the The image on the screen said to Margaret: "My request is to highlight the change in Andrea's mentality. The time just now was too long to have any impact, and it was too short to feel the martial arts. Sealed Throne Begging the Devil, Proud of the World, Nine Heavens, the Strongest Abandoned Young Master Zhou Royal General, Killing God at Night Abandoned Young Master of the Great Zhou Royal Family God-making General Night Killing God God Seal Throne Begging Demons Overlord Nine Heavens Strongest Abandoned Young Great Zhou Royal Family, give Jesse a close-up try."

"As you all know, I asked for two episodes in a row, so we have an hour to retain the audience, and it's up to us to retain the audience." Graham, The Big Bang Theory Writer's Office -Linehan and Bill Prady sat at the round table and listened carefully to Wang Yang standing next to the whiteboard in front. He stretched out an index finger and said: "The first 15 minutes of the first episode, you understand and I understand, it It's a crucial stage."

On one side of the whiteboard, he wrote "Highlight the personality of Sheldon and Leonard, and throw out 1 or 2 eccentricities", "Indicate the identity of a scientist with a high IQ", "Look at daily life with scientific theory", "Ordinary People take them easy, highlighting the fruit of laughter", while saying: "In the first scene at the beginning, because Leonard's car broke down, he just didn't have enough money to take a taxi, and there are other reasons you can add, they have to take the bus home, What an unlucky day! The appearance of the new neighbor Penny is a reversal. After all, Sheldon never takes the bus, he has cleanliness, obsessive-compulsive disorder..."

"The first set of camera lines is at the bus gate. Sheldon and Leonard are arguing about whether to sit or not." Wang Yang twirled his palms and counted: "What Sheldon said about germs and accident theories, Anyway, I can’t sit; Leonard is very helpless.” Graham and Prady nodded silently, and Wang Yang continued: “But the passengers and the driver in the car were impatient, and Leonard shouted at the driver even after closing the door several times. 'Wait, wait', he finally couldn't help it, and lost two scientists with one sentence, ok?"

A "ver" was written on the whiteboard, Wang Yang turned to look at the two of them, and said, "I will invite an interesting guest star for the role of the driver, which will make the audience excited. Okay, the next scene, Sheldon and Leonard got on the bus..."

"No, it won't work, the design of this spaceship is too stingy! The appearance and volume should not be large, because the 'Firefly' spaceship is one of the most backward models; but the details of the parts are also a little more imposing, very rough and cool style Remember, this ship is not a normal Firefly, because it is a modified spaceship that has been repaired many times, and who is the one who repaired it and modified it?"

In the "Firefly" art office, several large round tables were full of people. There were laptops, hand-painted boards, drawing paper and materials on the tables. Wang Yang shuttled between the tables, talking about the requirements of the Firefly spaceship. The art design team of "Firefly" has continued to use most of the team from "The Ninth District". (representative "Iron Man" series), as well as newly joined art designer and set designer Kim Sinclair (representative "Avatar"), Daniel T-Dorrance (representative "Mission: Impossible 2", "Silence" ", "Fantastic Four 2").

There are also props artist Drew Petrota ("Transformers" series), set designer Gordon Sheen ("Pirates of the Caribbean 4") and a group of assistant members... This art team is naturally Hollywood, the entire earth The best of the best.

But Wang Yang still wanted to express his wishes clearly. Under the eyes of everyone, he said as he walked: "It's Kyle! She has no formal training, no education and nothing, she just relies on her intuition for mechanical equipment And talent to repair the Serenity, and she is an innocent girl. So there are many parts of the Serenity that are not the Firefly model, Kyle regards the Serenity as her home, she wants to make it cool, make it handsome, and even pretend Some heavy weapons that shouldn't even exist."

"Captain Marr doesn't understand anything, he doesn't know anything. It's about the plot..." Wang Yang patted David-f. The firefly just now is only a regular model, and of course there is no Chinese and English logo of "Tranquility."

"Understood." Everyone smiled slightly, and started a new round of firefly spacecraft design. Wang Yang exhaled silently, and scanned the all-star team, and recruited a few more Chinese and Asian core members to preside over the art work of Chinese characters, Chinese and oriental elements.

"A heavy punch, beautiful! Then turn around and sweep the legs..." Jessica, who was wearing light blue pajamas, was lying sideways on the bed in a warm and bright bedroom. She propped her head and looked at Wang Yang with a pretty face and a smile. He asked with great interest: "Jan, did you often play with these toys before?" I saw him sitting cross-legged in front of the bed table, which was filled with a bunch of small soldier models, as well as A4 paper and pencils .

Wang Yang continued to pose various types of soldiers, picked up a pencil and drew a few more times, and said with a smile: "Yes, I am, I regarded them as actors." Jessica had seen his toys at home in San Francisco For storage, she thinks she can use the idiom "pile up like a mountain", but it's not piled up, it's put away neatly and orderly; it's just that we have met again for more than 5 years, so there are not many opportunities to watch him play with toys, she chuckled: "Really Like a baby."

"But I'm not playing now, I'm designing." Wang Yang turned his head and looked at her for a while, the picture of the idea of ​​several shots gradually became clear, and continued to draw on the paper, saying: "It is you who design the preliminary materials for some action scenes. character Riva."

It's just preliminary. Whether it can be fought like that and what effect it will have will have to be verified by the martial arts action team to make the entire designed fighting process. So he needs martial arts instructors and a team of martial arts fingers. Many beautiful shots have to be shot and designed repeatedly before they come out. As for now, I can only use toys as a team, and then rely on imagination to supplement the process.

"Oh my god, I'm going to beat so many people!" Jessica's eyes widened suddenly, full of excitement. Wang Yang nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I have already said that Ruiwa is one of the best fighters in that new galaxy. Your strength is strong...Look at this." He picked up A Bruce Lee doll wearing a yellow jumpsuit surrounded Bruce Lee with a dozen soldiers.

Jessica blinked suspiciously: "What's wrong?" Wang Yang laughed and said, "This is you, not Bruce Lee. Oh, you are surrounded! There are so many enemies! Jesse, Jesse, what to do! ?Here's a phone booth for you! Okay, now kill Bill, kill them all! Ugh—"

"You are a baby!" Seeing him kick those soldiers down one by one with Bruce Lee, Jessica laughed and shrugged her shoulders, and fell on the bed unbearably. She moved to his side, punched him on the back with both hands, and shouted with a smile: "Here comes!" Wang Yang looked down at her and laughed loudly: "Try again? Hit again, I kicked you out of bed!" Jessica reached out to his armpit: "Come on, let's see who is the best!"

"Ah! Haha... stop!" Wang Yang couldn't stand tickling, and suddenly shrank his hands and chest, screaming and laughing: "It seems that Mark and Cathy's daughter's buttocks are itchy." Now, in Yang's eyes, she is already a dead person..."

Jessica woke up with a start and wanted to sit up anxiously; Wang Yang had already opened his hands desperately, exposing his fatal weakness, and he shouted "Ah" and turned around and hugged her and pressed her on the bed: "You are dead—— —”

The time passed in the busy and happy night, and soon the week of screenings from 17th to 23rd came to an end. "Dancing Out of My Life" won this week's North American champion with a box office of 36.58 million, 2nd place, "Kill Bill 1.", which was released for two weeks, ranked third.

Because apparently audiences generally loved it, with a 100% like rate on Rotten Tomatoes, and reviews filled with "best dance movie of the year" and "good music and dancing." With such a good reputation, there is no reason for fans of musicals not to take a look at it. This championship opening is expected to eventually create a 10,000-million North American box office success.

But in stark contrast to the high audience love, the film critics did not like the film very much. Among the 85 film reviews, it only has 35% public film review freshness and 37% well-known freshness, and 55 of them have chosen to rot.

"Fletcher once again masterfully blends ballet and hip-hop after Sweetheart, but the shoots themselves are clumsy and she has a long way to go from choreographer to director." - Scott -Bowles, USA Today; "The loss of Wang Yang was a hard blow to Fletcher, with clunky dialogue, corny storylines, and some false preaching." --Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel; "Don't believe the stories, just watch them dance." --John Anderson, Newsday; "Fletcher has shown himself to be a talented dancer, and a badass dancer without theatrics. Director.” – Lisa Ross, Newark Star-Recorder  …

Of course, there is also a film review that chooses edible. Kim Williams of "Reel Film Review" said: "The plot is indeed quite predictable, with no surprises; but the dazzling 1uan dance and some unexpected camera shots , making it as magnificent as the sea."

In any case, for the 10,000 yuan production fee of "Dancing Out of My Life", it has achieved great commercial success, which further proves that it is a serious and confident plan to make a second flame movie.
