Chapter 393： Im a legend (1/2)
”Weekend report:” Assassin's League ”took the championship,” Firefly ”created a market miracle”-bsp; just past the night of August 5-7, a total of 135 films were released in North American Film City, 2 large New films released on a scale.
Among them, another action comedy bad movie with a small investment was born. The 10,000-cost TV series adaptation of the movie ”Justice Forward” scored the index value of 13% / 22% / 58% for Rotten Tomatoes. US $ 5,4 received 19.31 million, and both word of mouth and box office failed. This ugly opening result made Warner Brothers lose again this summer. Jessica Simpson became the poison for the first time on the six screens with a drama role, which disappointed her fans.
However, another new film, the assassin alliance with all five poisons and the fragile ”Assassin's League”, showed a good performance. The masses of the media felt that they should not be surprised. This is expected, as long as the film's acting The table has ”ung-ang” and it will never be useless!
”” Assassin's League ”is a fast-paced, crackling and elegant posture of tension, tailored for the summer audience.” Rotten Tomato's official sentence commentary well summarizes the film's Temperament, there is nothing too deep in the theme, and it does not pursue any artistic connotation, but it can bring a luxurious popcorn enjoyment for nearly 2 hours. Richard Rope of ”ebert & eper” commented: ”It will have it Fans, some excellent visual effects, some amazing sequences of actions and some amazing performances. ”
This movie is not all popcorn and cola. The elements of the love sister complex, the father and the enemy, the false mentorship of the mentor and apprentice, etc. are interpreted by Wu Yusen's lens, just like a classic martial arts. Roger of the Chicago Sun -Albert raised his thumbs: ”Bashes, violence and emotions, no one wasted a minute.”
”John Wu walked out of the quagmire in a violent, fierce, bloody, and thrilling way. He not only found himself back, but also regained unprecedented energy.” Joe Mogenstein of The Wall Street Journal commented, ” Elizabeth Witzman of New York Daily News scored 3.5 / 5: ”Your brain can be interrupted for two hours, but your adrenal glands will be busy.” Sam Adams of the Los Angeles Times scored 4/5 : ”It may drag young people into excessive world weariness, but it will also hit most of the male audience. This is the most refreshing work since John Wu directed, the classic double-gun lens!”
Of course, there is a script written carefully by Chris Morgan and others, who are very enthusiastic and have no place to drag on.
In terms of actor performance, James McVoy seized this opportunity of fame, and made an impressive interpretation of the praises of many film critics and fans; ”After the Poison Shadow” Halle-Berry re-emerges A sexiness that really belongs to her, and the x based on her is really suitable for her compared to Catwoman, Raff Guzman of the ”News Daily” said: ”Once Halle Berry enters into a gritty battle , Your line of sight has not left. ”
”John Wu did not live up to the trust of Miracle Yang.”, ”When it comes to knowing and using people, no one in the film industry is comparable to Wang Yang.”, ”Basically, a trash can reaches Wang Yang, and he can also dig out gold.” ”” ...
Many film critics finally introduce the relevant background of the ”Assassin League”. In addition to the comic author Mark Miller, Wang Yang is naturally everywhere. The planning of commercial movies can be large or small, and some of the styles and suggestions laid by it will lead to judgment. If two films, who can ignore his role? In addition to the ”Assassin League” itself, it is known that it is actually a stiff Wang Yang against Wu Yusen, betting 100 million US dollars on whether the ”King of the King of Guns” can talk to the young crazy!
The masses of the media know this very well, and now they are also admiring this point. It is with these shocking heroes that Miracle Yang is so handsome and irreplaceable.
Rotten Tomatoes currently contains 75 film reviews from ”Assassin's League”. The freshness of the public and well-known film critics is as high as 79% / 83%, and the audience likes 81% (94,827 rating users). Although it is not amazing, it is far less than the 94% freshness of ”Face Change” in the peak period, but it is 33% compared to the previous ”three consecutive hits” ”Fengyu” and 22% ”Bulletproof Monk” (producer) , 27% of ”Memory Crack”, even 57% of the ”four consecutive hits” ”Mission Impossible 2” sales, Wu Yusen finally tasted the taste of fresh red tomatoes again after an interval of 8 years. It is absolutely beautiful. Turn over.
However, there is no ”magic aura”, and there is a big question whether a large and small film business dare to use him again; however, at this moment, Wu Yusen and Halle-Berry are undoubtedly turned over!
The two seem to have expected it, and in the previous stage of publicity, Wu Yusen will tell the media when he is interviewed: ”I am very grateful to Wang Yang for trusting and inspiring me. I am almost years old. It seems very motivated to be inspired by a young boy Strangely, in fact, I have long lost my enthusiasm for shooting gun action movies, and I do n’t think I need to prove anything anymore, but Wang Yang made me have that kind of excitement again. He used the line of ”Heroes”. I still remember how I felt at the time. ”Halle-Berry teased herself many times:” A few years ago, Magic Young handed me the trophy of the best actress, and then what is the ”Oscar Shadow After the Curse”. Started, this time he promised to invite him to appear in ”Assassin League”, should it be the end? ”
This week's ”Assassin League” was released in five theaters, with an average of 12,156 single theaters. It received a total of $ 37.74 million and ranked first in the weekly list. It won the championship with not too hot results.
This also created the worst opening weekend box office performance of the Flame movie over the summer. It seems that it also does not have the commercial potential of ”Hangover 2” and ”Furious Speed”. Paul De Gallabe of the ns agency said: ”The audience We still have a lot of fears for John Wu and Halle Berry, especially Halle Berry is on the blacklist of many people. The flame film's strategy is very correct. By establishing a good North American reputation, we are cautious If you go overseas, this movie will have a bright future. ”
Let's not talk about the final box office results of ”Assassin League”. No one knows. Even if it is all messed up, the flame movie has enough capital to say: ”I can afford this money.”
In the eighth week, ”Firefly” relied on Wang Yang ’s coma, and it unbelievably burst out a sustained and amazing performance. The box office trend was -5%, and the average number of single theaters in a theater (-255) was 2814, which can be described as crazy. Ten thousand dollars ranked fifth! The total box office in North America rose to 62327 million! In overseas markets, ”Fireflies” continued to collect more than ten million US dollars in Japan, making great strides forward.
The fourth week of ”Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” averaged only 2,962 single halls; the second week of ”Must Love Dogs” was only 2,937; the eighth week of ”Batman: The Time to Start” 528; the sixth week of ”World War” 1,829 ...
The world-famous ”World War”, which was supposed to impact 100 million and 1.8 billion global box offices, now has a box office in North America of more than 200 million, which can only be the level of 200 million. Even if the overseas box office is exceeded, it exceeds 400 million. The goal is still too far too far. However, it is estimated that all members of Paramount themselves do not believe that ”World War” can exceed 1.8 billion, and believe that they are already very satisfied with the current results.
”I won't authorize, Scott, frankly, I don't want and will not participate in any of its work.”
At the headquarters of the Santa Monica Flame Film Company, in the spacious and elegant office of the chairman, Wang Yang slowly turned the office chair left and right, carrying the landline microphone on the left, and talking to Scott Ruding about the topic of ”Magic Director” .
