Text Chapter 884 Bloodbath on the Box Office List

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Lunar New Year period has just passed, and many films have already made the Valentine's Day period their first choice for blockbuster movies.  The number of domestic films competing for the 2009 Valentine's Day schedule may reach about seven, which is another peak release after the Lunar New Year period.  What is covered by the fragrance of roses on February 14th is the smell of blood behind these movies.

    Although everyone has tasted the sweetness of the Valentine's Day schedule, there is currently no unified understanding of what a Valentine's Day movie is, and there is not yet a Valentine's Day movie with textbook significance.

    Someone analyzed this: "The quality of Valentine's Day movies is far from as high as the Lunar New Year movies, but because 80% of the decision-making power when watching movies is in the hands of women, it is reasonable to have such characteristics. And women's movies are targeted  , plus the investment is smaller and the risk is smaller.¡±

    But some viewers ridiculed this: "Although they are all called Valentine's Day movies, they seem reluctant to just be Valentine's Day movies.

    On the Hollywood Walk of Fame, after yesterday¡¯s glory, there is another lively scene at the Chinese Theater today.  The Academy Awards were star-studded yesterday, and they are no different now.

    The long-awaited movie is finally about to be released, and many of Yang Lin¡¯s friends have come to support the show and cheer for this hard-won movie.  Strangely enough, the production cost of this unintentional film was only 12 million, yet such a low-budget film is expected to become the highest-grossing Oscar nominee for Best Picture.

    For Scarlett Johansson, this Valentine's Day schedule is a perfect one. Two movies were released at the same time, and both received good reviews.  This is naturally a good start.  She smiled and said to Yang Lin: "I don't dare to give interviews now. They are all asking me which movie I hope will have a high box office."

    "It's not easy. Just say you hope the box office will be good, what's so difficult about it." Yang Lin held his cell phone, checked his email, and said absently.  Scarlett on the side couldn't find any topic to continue talking about, and walked away with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

    Liu Yifei didn¡¯t go to the Oscars ceremony before, but she still came to support the movie. Now she is ready to walk on the red carpet. This is also her first time walking on the red carpet on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.  Although not famous, the unique oriental beauty impressed the reporters at the scene.  When these reporters learned that she was Yang Lin's fianc¨¦e, they regretted not being able to take two more photos.

    Behind the prosperity and aura is a cold wave. Yang Lin's infinite fame in the United States has also become a reason for others to attack. He starred in a movie but did not return to China for promotion. It seems that he has forgotten where he is from.  Such a strong reason suddenly rose to the level of the country and the nation, and the statement "Yang Lin became a U.S. citizen" immediately spread like wildfire on the Internet.

    Yang Lin, who was far away in the United States, had no idea that the country was in turmoil. He was still waiting on his chair for Liu Yifei's arrival.  The joy of success always needs someone to share it with.

    "I see you are distracted. What are you thinking about?" Scarlett put aside her worries in the blink of an eye.  Then he started to care about Yang Lin.  To be honest, she was once tempted. During the filming of the movie, she was too involved in the drama and showed it outside of filming. However, ever since she learned about the incident between Yang Lin and Liu Yifei, she decided that this relationship had not even had time to sprout.  The idea is cut off.

    Yang Lin's eyebrows moved slightly, a smile twitched at the corner of his mouth, and he said: "I'm thinking about returning to China tomorrow. It should be a complete surprise then! China's box office has always performed well, and I will promote it in Asia.  One lap and then straight back to the Grammys.¡±

    His response was: "You are so busy! Are you always so busy? Have you ever thought about taking a break and relaxing?" Scarlett simply couldn't understand Yang Lin's workaholic behavior. In her opinion, every year  Just two movies will be enough, there is no need to be busy at all.

    For Yang Lin, having a movie to shoot is a good thing. Although busy promoting is not something he likes, it is something that must be fulfilled according to the contract.

    Liu Yifei arrived as scheduled. She was dressed casually, with a scarf around her neck and her hands in her trouser pockets. She looked very handsome.  She and He Hong stood side by side, seemingly chatting about something happy and laughing all the time.

    "The premiere is about to start, and you're finally here." Yang Lin went up and gave her a kiss, then whispered in her ear: "I'll tell you something later, don't be angry.  "

    Liu Yifei was a little embarrassed because she was late. She nodded, and then sat in her own seat under the leadership of Yang Lin. The big screen was already lit up, and the premiere of the movie was almost here.

    ¡°Compared to domestic premieres, Hollywood is much simpler. After the stars walk on the red carpet and take photos with fans, they go straight to the topic and start playing the movie.  Domestic needsNo matter what kind of performance is performed, let the actors give their speeches and look at the stories behind the scenes. It seems to be a party.

    The film opens on Day 488. Tom, played by Yang Lin, and Summer, played by Scarlett, are sitting on a park bench, looking at the buildings in Los Angeles.  Yang Lin was in a suit and leather shoes, his hair was a little messy by the wind. He looked at his former lover beside him with a slight smile, and then looked at his favorite building not far away.

    Summer was wearing a khaki windbreaker, and her blue eyes revealed a bit of melancholy and embarrassment. Although she was grinning, anyone could tell that she was forcing herself.  The two people turned to look at each other accidentally, but it seemed like a reunion after a long separation, with no trace of their original love.

    The camera is focused on the palms of the two people. Summer is wearing a wedding ring, but Tom is not.

    The voice-over begins to tell the story, and time returns to the very beginning of the story, that is, the first day.

    From meeting, knowing each other to falling in love, Los Angeles recorded the story of this young couple. This is not about nostalgia, but about memories.

    The ninety-minute movie passed by in a flash, with laughter but no sadness. This is a pure love movie with good actors, a good story, and the soundtrack is just right. No wonder it was nominated for an Oscar.

    The credits gradually rose, and the audience stood up one after another, applauding thunderously, dedicated to this rare and good movie.  Love is indescribably beautiful, and the love we once had is floating in the air with the wind, but it is still worth remembering.

    The film's creators turned around and bowed vigorously to the audience not far away, and then director Mark Webb began to speak: "First of all, thank you all for being able to watch it during such a precious time as Valentine's Day.  In our movie, there is pain in love, and you have to get over the pain and get back on your feet!"

    "I like the angle of the script. He looks at everything from the perspective of a lovelorn person and is not negative at all. Although this movie will make people a little sad, it is not everything I want to bring to the audience. I hope  The audience can see more of how the male protagonist gradually changes himself and his attitude towards life, and the final ending that makes me very satisfied. The whole story is very sunny, for example, the heroine¡¯s name Summer (English summer)  (means summer), and we chose to shoot in Los Angeles, where the sunshine always makes people feel uplifting. In the film, Tom always faces life with a positive smile. I hope everyone can share this attitude.  It¡¯s the same with him, whether your girlfriend wants to break up with you or not.¡±

    This is director Mark Webb's first feature film. He used to shoot music videos. Who would have thought that this independent production with minimal investment and the director's debut could win three Oscar nominations?  It has already entered the attention of many companies and is ready to take over the filming of some popular movies.

    As a film with a low investment and an uncomplicated plot, Mark Webb truly connected this grassroots film with the fans. During the filming process, he often discussed it with the fans online and interacted with the on-site attendees.  Celebrity fans who visited the studio watched the preliminary cut of the film together, and even disclosed their contact information so that fans with various opinions could write to themselves.

    Mark Webb doesn't think anything of these measures: "I think for a movie, every audience has the right to make their own judgments, even if those opinions may not be reasonable, but I believe most of them have the right to make their own judgments."  Audiences are very sincere. When I was a movie fan myself, I would often put forward a lot of modifications to the movie I had just watched. I felt that if I did it my way, the movie would become even better.  So when I was filming "500 Days with Summer", I also recalled my past approach, and I also looked for various opportunities to allow everyone to put forward more opinions on the film, and the fans always  It will be beyond my imagination. Many times they hit some key points accurately, and I also made changes based on their opinions, which made this movie even more satisfying for everyone."

    It is precisely for these reasons that this movie performed so well. Not only did the Oscar judges and famous film critics like it, but even ordinary audiences also liked it.

    On the night of its premiere, a total of 3,020 theaters in North America began screening the film. On the first day of its release (including midnight premieres), it grossed a total of 13 million U.S. dollars at the box office, making it the best opening for a Hollywood movie in 2009.  Draw results.  The box office on the first day was good, which also relieved the critics. They believed that this movie would become the highest-grossing Oscar nominee for Best Picture. The first day in North America was 13 million, which is really good.  .

    What's more important is that this is not a weekend at all. The box office will definitely rise significantly during the three days of the weekend. After "500 Days of Summer" successfully topped the box office list on its first day, it will definitely be a bloodbath this Black Friday.?(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
