522 One thought of hell
2011In the second week of May this year, the opening battle of the summer season is finally over. But, is it really over? The box office battle is indeed over; but the lingering legacy is hard to say..
Even before the reveal begins, even the boldest media, even the craziest industry insiders, even the "Fast and Furious" series aficionados, even Renly Hall's most loyal fans, I dare not make such a prediction, such an incredible prediction.
“After Variety released its box office predictions for the opening game, a small group of media expressed their opinions. They believed that the gap in this war would be smaller and the competition would be more intense, but overall they still agreed with Variety's view. "Seattle" Post" is one of them.
Eli Wallach initially believed that "Fast and Furious 5" had a chance of beating "Thor", but the chance was very, very slim. But even Eli emphasized the duel in terms of premiere box office results. , "Fast and Furious 5" has three days of opening weekend, and "Thor" has three days of opening weekend. The showdown between these two sets of data. Only a madman would think that "Fast and Furious 5" can defeat "Thor" , to achieve re-election as the champion.
Now it seems that it is indeed crazy..
But that’s the fact. In this week’s North American box office rankings, “Fast and Furious 5” pulls out its teeth, steps on the shoulders of “Thor”, takes the championship crown in its bag, and takes this wildest, craziest, and most explosive movie. Summer brings the first wave of climax.
What's even more incredible is that "Fast and Furious 5" has a strong cumulative box office of 193 million US dollars in two weeks. From Monday to Thursday, it swept through thousands of troops without any opponents at all, showing a rare performance. The box office dominance of "Iron Man" in the same period has surpassed the 177 million of "Iron Man". Not only is 200 million in North America within reach, the benchmark of 300 million can also be basically determined..
In two weeks, just two weeks, "Fast and Furious 5" fully demonstrated its dark horse qualities, turning all the attention, all the attention, and all the hot spots from the opening battle into box office, and became this summer's biggest hit in one go. The biggest winner of the Spring Festival - No, this work was released in the Spring Festival, so it should be the biggest winner of the Spring Festival.
Everyone at Universal Pictures was overjoyed. Although the movie had only been released for two weeks, they couldn't wait to hold a celebration party and they were all filled with joy..
Not only because "Fast and Furious 5" has created the best results in the series, but also because of the huge success of this work, the series has completed the transformation from quantitative change to qualitative change, truly joining the ranks of commercial blockbusters. Now they need It’s not a question of making sequels, it’s a question of how many sequels should be made.
It is no exaggeration to say that Universal Pictures has now begun to think about the issue of contract renewal-Vin Diesel and Paul Walker must stay, Jordana Brewster must stay, in addition, there are Who?？
“Renly-Hall！”
This is an editorial from "The New Yorker", and it is also their answer to Universal Pictures, "Complete the renewal of Renly Hall's contract as soon as possible! This is Universal Pictures' top priority!" In the comments, they said To put it bluntly, the success of "Fast and Furious 5" is due to two people: Justin Lin and Renly Hall..
As a director, Justin gave the movie a sharp and tough temperament, which made the movie break away from the previous pattern of small fights and show a more grand overall view. At the same time, it also maximized the adrenaline brought by racing. , he definitely contributed a lot to the success of the movie..
As an actor, Renly gave the movie more story and depth..
For summer popcorn works, the storyline of the script has never received enough attention, but in fact, shooting an excellent commercial work can never be separated from a solid story. With James Cameron’s two You can see this by taking the masterpieces "Titanic" and "Avatar" as examples. A good story can give commercial movies more pleasure, more climaxes, more excitement, and of course, a smoother viewing experience. movie experience.
The character Hobbes plays such a role in the movie. His judgment of justice and evil, and his interpretation of law and morality really give the story a whole new meaning: brothers, a brotherhood that cannot be lived up to..
It was precisely because Reyes killed Hobbs' brother and partner that he decided to join the Dominic team and overthrow Reyes; it was precisely because Brian had no hesitation in his family that he decided to let them go; it was precisely because With the responsibility and burden in Hobbs's heart, he will never give up on his mission to pursue Dominic and Brian..
“The "Fast and Furious" series has reached its fifth installment, and it finally has a core theme. It comes from Hobbes, from Hobbes played by Renly..
In the comments, they concluded, "It is hard to imagine that if it is not Renly, but another actor plays Hobbes. Then, will this work be another 'Fast and Furious 4'?" 'What?" It means that it will continue the simple and crude route without the core of the story and become another B-level popcorn blockbuster..
In fact, not only "The New Yorker", but after "Fast and Furious 5" won the championship again, all major media immediately made comments. They generally believed that this was a game "belonging to Renly- Hall's victory”.
Not only because of the two duels of "Renly VS Chris" and "Renly VS Natalie", Renly has won more attention as an individual; nor is it just because Renly is the protagonist in the fifth part of the series. The newly added face attracted countless audiences with its stunning appearance; and because of Renly's outstanding performance in the movie, he brought his personal charm to the extreme, and at the same time completed the most important piece of the puzzle for the movie's rebirth.！
In comparison, what Chris and Natalie lost was not only the box office showdown, but also the performance showdown. Both their performances in "Thor" were criticized, especially for their role as Thor as a newcomer. Chris personally experienced the dire straits of the "Hayden Christensen" style. In this duel, they lost completely and there was no room for maneuver..
In the past half month, Renly has undoubtedly become the hottest topic. Even the two protagonists Van and Paul have been defeated. Like the "New Yorker", all the credit for the victory belongs to Renly. The media is really not a minority.
This is Hollywood, and there will never be a shortage of fairy tales about overnight success. What's more, Renly is no longer in this category. He was already a figure in the limelight during the previous awards season..
Everyone is discussing the same topic, how did "Fast and Furious 5" create this miracle? How did Renly become the key player in this miracle? The summer season has just begun, but the North American film market has swept away its decline and shown a thriving posture. Summer is here..
Fisher-Morgan is also thinking about the same question: How did things get here? Everything is going according to plan, so what went wrong?？
There were really too many things that happened in the past few weeks, too chaotic and too fast. He never had the chance to calm down and think carefully. Everything was like a torrent, rushing down in a swarm. He didn't even have time to react. He has arrived at his current position. Now that the defeat has been decided, he has time to reflect carefully..
His thoughts were explored all the way back along the thread. Suddenly, Fisher was stunned. A terrible thought came into his mind: hype, that malicious and deliberately arranged hype. He revealed the news and let the paparazzi find Gram. Reese took the initiative to provoke the dispute, hoping to increase Chris's exposure, further amplify the effective utilization of the "Thor" project, and squeeze out the last drop of residual value. However, things seemed to start to get out of control from then on..
If there are no extraneous complications and everything goes as planned, will the box office performance of "Thor" be even better? Would Chris be in a better position if he hadn't done anything extra and just settled for the status quo? If we had not added any unnecessary extravagance and launched the propaganda wholeheartedly, would the outcome of the opening battle have been different?？
As soon as this idea came out, it was like the sharp teeth of a poisonous snake, biting the blood vessels on his neck. It was cold and bone-chilling, and the blood in his body began to flow backwards. The stiff and sharp stinging sensation suddenly exploded, Then the shame overwhelmed him and he couldn't breathe at all.
One thought of heaven, one thought of hell.
Just a moment's deviation in thought, just a deviation in the trajectory of a thought, just a moment's deviation in decision-making, heaven turned into hell. This was so cruel and cold that my heart suddenly froze. , totally out of breath.
“No, absolutely not! "Fisher bit the tip of his tongue hard, and the smell of blood began to spread, forcibly cutting off all divergent thoughts, and abruptly stopped thinking, "Absolutely not! "Fischer came to an unequivocal conclusion, and the reflection on this issue ends here..
What he needs now is not to dwell on the mistakes of the past, but to look to the future and think about solutions..
“There was a slight sound of "beep", and the hotel room door was gently pushed open, but it was like thunder exploding in Fisher's ears. He suddenly raised his head, and then saw a dejected Chris..
Chris pushed open the hotel room door, slumping his shoulders and dragging his steps. The effect of gravity on his body seemed to be particularly obvious. Every detail of his body language was feeling the falling weight. Then he walked to Next to the sofa, he paused, slumped down heavily, and then sighed heavily. His sunny and handsome features were completely clouded at this time, and exhaustion was written on every corner of his face..
A burst of anger rushed to his forehead, and Fisher stood up suddenly, roaring crazily, "My Prince Thor, don't look like a dead man who has been abandoned by his father and betrayed by his brother! You are the actor who plays Thor, and half of the young actors in Hollywood are envious of your good luck. Who are you showing this outrageous attitude to? It’s just a box office failure at the premiere, you! Looks like she just lost her virginity.”
