After comparison, it can be seen that "Fast and Furious 5" not only got rid of the shadow of B-level movies, but also joined the ranks of commercial films. It may not be called a classic, but it is indeed an outstanding film. A masterpiece of vulgarity, this is definitely a radical leap for the series of movies, giving it a new lease of life..
In this opening battle of the summer season, there was a disparity in strength from the very beginning. Industry insiders did not even think that the two were of the same magnitude. Gradually, it has developed to the present, facing the seventy-three "Fast and Furious 5" With the comprehensive media reviews and the positive feedback from the audience after the premiere, the suspense of victory suddenly became unknown. Such earth-shaking changes were really too fast and too fierce..
More importantly, from industry giants such as "Variety" and "Hollywood Reporter" to top North American media such as "Los Angeles Times" and "New York Times" to "Village Voice" and "Premiere" Professional magazines all mentioned "Renly Hall"”.
Unbelievable! Incredible! Mysterious yet mysterious! How amazing! unimaginable！
It can be said that thanks to the recent hype of the topic, people's attention will involuntarily focus on Renly and care about his performance; it can also be said that after experiencing the ups and downs of the past few months, he is always in a whirlpool. Renly, a critical eye is bound to get him more attention; it can also be said that after receiving his first Oscar nomination, Renly is naturally not an unknown in the eyes of film critics.
However, no matter how you explain it, it is the fact. No one can deny Renly's excellence. In a limited space and a limited time, he successfully gave the character of Hobbes a vigorous vitality and truly engaged with the plot. Sparks appeared and became one of the biggest highlights of "Fast and Furious 5".
This young actor, who has successfully occupied a place in Hollywood with his two works "Pacific War" and "Buried Alive", has continued his strong performance into commercial works, with appropriate performances, powerful images, and strong and agile movements. All his skills are full of magical charm, and he shines brightly on the screen when the summer is coming..
Although this situation is really rare, it is not impossible in Hollywood.
For example, after "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" was released, the real standouts were the mermaid and the priest played by Sam Claflin (Sam-); for example, in "The Wolverine", the unexpectedly popular Deadpool made Ryan- Reynolds; for another example, in the "Lord of the Rings" series, the elf prince who has limited appearance time but is famous all over the world, Orndo-Bloom）.
This time, as the third protagonist of "Fast and Furious 5", Renly successfully stole the grace of the two absolute male protagonists and received another recognition from the media. For a new actor, For a young actor who has only appeared in three movies, this is a huge honor..
“"Renly VS Chris", "Renly VS Natalie", originally this was an untenable duel, but now the situation has changed suddenly, and the atmosphere of tension has suddenly begun to permeate..
Although Renly is only the third protagonist of "Fast and Furious 5", and Chris is the male protagonist of "Thor", the roles of the two people are definitely placed on an unfair balance; but Renly is With his talent and charm, he has become the most talked about character in the movie. As for whether Chris can give his superhero more personal charm and personality like Robert Downey Jr., this is still unknown..
Although Renly's current work base is still too small, Natalie is a veteran who has been working in Hollywood for more than ten years, and there is no comparison in terms of ability and performance; but Renly's current works are always on target, and they are still Maintaining a perfect success rate, on the other hand, it is still unknown whether Natalie, as an actress, can break away from the fixed impression of a vase and stand out in superhero movies..
In other words, in these two duels, Renly delivered a brilliant answer. Not only did he not fall behind, but he may also have an advantage. So, what will Chris's performance be? What kind of performance will Natalie give?？
The opening battle has really come. This is probably the only thought in everyone's mind. Even if it is impossible, it still happened..
Faced with the amazing performance of "Fast and Furious 5", how will "Thor" respond?？
Chris Hemsworth, who was doing his daily running routine, was once again surrounded by reporters, but this time he seemed unhurried. His bright smile, short blond hair, and glistening sweat made him Looks like Thor, the god of thunder, descending from the sky, full of charm.
“Ha, yes, I heard about it. I haven't had time to read the newspaper yet, but I did hear about it. This is a good thing, congratulations! "When the reporter mentioned that "Fast and Furious 5" had received unanimous praise from the media, Chris wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied with a smile, "To be honest, I feel a little conflicted now. On the one hand, I am a little excited. , looking forward to the movie’s debut box office performance; but on the other hand, we are worried that if their box office performance is too good, our pressure will suddenly increase, which will be bad.”
Funny and humorous, he advances and retreats appropriately. In just a few weeks, Chris has already completed his transformation..
Today's interview is expected. Fisher has explained every detail with endless instructions. Chris will naturally not make mistakes. He has even practiced that charming smile countless times..
Then the reporter provocatively asked the pointed question again, "Can you defeat Renly?"？”
Not only did Chris not panic, but he chuckled, "The battle between men can only be proven through actual actions. I hope the stronger one will win.".”
Emphasis on uprightness, men's friendship, and testimony of strength, peeling off all the vines and showing a confident posture without showing weakness. This is the image strategy Fisher formulated for Chris. From now on , he executed it very well.
“So, what do you think about the 'borrowed door' thing? Have you communicated with Renly? "Of course the reporter will not make it easy for Chris. Why is the problem so insidious?".
Chris's defense is still solid, "I thought we agreed not to make news any more. In a real duel between men, strength will naturally determine the outcome.".”
An understatement, without admitting or denying, or even a positive response. He simply used the word "hype" to describe it, and then returned to his core position. After speaking, Chris did not allow reporters to continue to ask questions. time, I took steps again and jogged back to the apartment..
Fisher clearly knows that lip service is used for hype, but the outcome still depends on the box office. Things have developed to such a point that those evil tricks can be put aside for the time being and concentrate on promoting "Thor" , guaranteeing a box office of over 100 million in its opening weekend, this is the right thing to do.
Chris knows this, and Paramount also knows this. Naturally, the crew of "Thor" will not easily involve themselves in the whirlpool again. The reporters' calculations will fail this time..
The next day, major news outlets reported, “Chris Hemsworth is determined to win.！”
Following the stunning media review of "Fast and Furious 5", the two sides in the opening battle have become closer in strength. This is naturally not good news for "Thor"; but for reporters For me, it couldn't be more perfect..
As bystanders, what they need is not a showdown without suspense, but a war, a white-hot war with red bayonets! The more intense the better, the hotter the better, and the closer the better, because it means more highlights, more explosive points, more news, and of course, the higher the sales..
Universal Pictures and Paramount Pictures are pushing the flames behind the scenes one after another, refusing to give in to each other..
Universal Pictures has released three different behind-the-scenes footage on Facebook, Twitter, photo walls and other social media networks for three consecutive days, and continues to add "Fast and Furious 5" footage to coincide with the premiere. Afterwards, they released a special episode of Renly, editing out funny clips of Renly making mistakes on the set, and blatantly started to "attract fans"”.
Paramount took advantage of the situation and released the last trailer of "Thor", and also arranged for Chris, Natalie and Anthony to attend the evening talk show, and also arranged a show with "Iron Man", "Thor" and The crew of "Captain America" held an internal test screening, and rumors of favorable reviews spread in Hollywood. It can be seen that Paramount has officially entered the sprint stage of movie promotion..
Starting from Wednesday, the entire North American market has shown an unprecedented craze. This is not the summer season, but it is better than the summer season. In the first week of the summer season in previous years, there has never been such a noisy scene. In a trance, people have completely forgotten Now, this is still the last week of spring, and the midsummer heat wave can’t wait to arrive a week early..
However, so far, it is just the premiere, and the only criterion for judgment is the comprehensive media review. The specific situation will still have to wait until the premiere on Friday and go into the cinema in person to reveal the answer..
The opening battle, ready to go！
