Chapter 417

Before the official release, "hangover" also had a trial screening, and the response of film critics was flat. This kind of typical shit comedy can not win their praise. Similarly, the typical vulgar comedy has little influence from professional film critics. Unlike film critics, the ordinary audience who participated in the trial screening gave it a very high evaluation.

Even in July, hangover won the comedy director of the year award at the Montreal comedy film festival.

However, the film has been criticized for one thing, that is Murphy.

"I think acting is a new challenge."

In the interview area at the end of the red carpet, Murphy stood in the middle of a group of stantons and answered the reporter's question about the first movie role, "the role of the groom is very difficult..."

Robert Downey Jr. and Jonah Hill have been the first to laugh, as have James Franco and Seth Logan.

"I admit," Murphy said rather reluctantly, "I'm not a good actor. I've suffered enough for the director Seth on the set."

After that, Jonah and James are the real protagonists in the film.

Others continue to be interviewed, and Murphy finds David Ellison standing in the back.

"I hope the film will sell well." David Ellison, who is the same age as him, has a sad look on his face. "It can make up for the loss caused by my last investment failure."

Murphy patted him on the shoulder. "Don't care, David. Investment, there are always successes and failures. "

David Ellison didn't listen to his advice and invested in the hero of the air war. Although the hero is no longer James Franco, he is still in a mess. It is definitely a huge disaster in the Hollywood film circle this year, and even listed as a typical failure negative textbook by many production companies.

"But you always succeed!" David Ellison frowned even more.

"Come on, you're going to compete with Murphy?" Megan Ellison just came by, heard David Ellison's words, and said sarcastically, "what do you compare with Murphy?"

David Ellison scratched his head. He didn't know what to say. Except for his family background and a good father, he didn't seem to be as good as the other person.

When it comes to investing in movies, the other party has never failed. When it comes to fame, the other party is like the sun at noon in Los Angeles. Even if it's a girlfriend, she just finds a vase. The other party's girlfriend is beautiful, generous, smart and mature, which can be regarded as a great help to her career

Thinking of this, David Ellison is somewhat depressed and knows that he has to work hard.

As soon as the time came, Murphy and others walked into the Hollywood China grand theater where the premiere was held, waiting for the film to start showing.

Seth Logan and Jonah Hill have a lot of experience in vulgar comedies. The film production is excellent enough and there are a lot of jokes. What's more important is that in the happy atmosphere of comedy, some suspense color is properly integrated.

Although Seth Logan and Jonah Hill have done a lot of refinements and changes, the main plot of the film has not changed.

In a few days, Murphy's character is about to enter the church and marry his beloved woman. After hearing the good news, several of his best friends are sincerely happy for him, and decide to have a Pre Wedding bachelor party for him. So the characters played by James Franco, Seth Logan, Jonah hill and Robert Downey Jr. drive to Las Vegas together Vegas, they are going to spend a crazy, confused farewell night together

Under the stimulation of alcohol, five people fell asleep, and when they woke up, they had no impression of what happened last night. It's OK, but the most troublesome problem is that there are only four people left in the room, and the protagonist of the party, Doug, played by Murphy, is gone! What's more strange is that there is a tiger in the bathroom, and there is a baby who looks less than one year old in the closet!

In the face of such a chaotic situation, James Franco four people completely helpless, but they know that time is running out, they have to find out what they did last night, and the wedding is about to take place, they have to find Doug in two days, otherwise more trouble will come.

So the three people began to search for the truth of last night by mistake, but with the development of things, they are facing more and more difficult things

To put it simply, this is a comedy in Las Vegas. The four best men and the bridegroom who is going to have a wedding get drunk at a bachelor party. When they wake up, they find that the bridegroom is missing. So they have to remember what happened last night to get their new man back and have a successful wedding.

Maybe Seth Logan is naturally suitable for this type of film, or maybe he is more comfortable with his own people. The film Murphy sees is better than the one he once saw.

It has to be said that Seth Logan has great talent in this aspect. The use of a few tips makes the film easier to please the audience.

First, he used a completely civilian perspective.The film is completely about the story of ordinary people, highlighting the story and human feelings, which can stir the heartstrings of most people. Different from the film directed by Murphy, "hangover" represents the universal values of the public, and represents all living beings in American life.

The four protagonists all belong to the type characters. The first characteristic of the type characters is that they are easy to identify and be remembered by the audience. They are polite dentists, unconventional middle school teachers, somewhat claustrophobic Allen and mean mouthed bad friends. It seems that they are all neighbors living in the community.

Another major feature of type characters is that they are easy to win the audience's recognition because of their clear personality orientation. Everyone has a variety of psychological wishes, and many type characters are easy to be recognized and loved by the audience just because they meet their psychological wishes.

Secondly, the element of suspense is fully integrated into the atmosphere of comedy.

Suspense is one of the most important elements of all narratives in a movie. It can make the audience expect the later part of the narrative because of curiosity, anxiety, uneasiness or sympathy. When the audience sees a complicated time or finds an unresolved problem, they will naturally have the "puzzle solving" effect.

"Hangover" belongs to the Eleventh "interpretation of the fans": we must solve the suspense, otherwise we will encounter disaster.

"The theme of this" hangover "condenses the subconscious content of psychoanalysis, and shows the tendency of generation to seek stimulation and Carnival due to mental depression. In terms of creative skills, the film adopts a civilian perspective, applies suspense to the extreme, truly records the language of life, and brings visual and psychological pleasure to the audience. "

After the premiere, the comments of the entertainment edition of the Los Angeles Times can be said to be very similar to Murphy's views.

The film then landed in more than 3000 cinemas in North America under the operation of fox in the 20th century. To everyone's surprise, the film's reputation after its release was quite different from that during its trial release. Except for a few media who continued to give bad reviews, most media gave the film good reviews.

Although film critics continue to attack this kind of vulgar comedy, they can't stop comedy lovers from buying tickets to watch it, as well as the general praise after watching it.

"The film Salon" thinks: "the hangover goes beyond the routine of ordinary comedies, looks refreshing, and the friendship between men revealed in the film is also very credible." The San Francisco Chronicle said: "this is the funniest comedy so far this year!"

In terms of evaluation, 2924 viewers of IMDB gave 8.5 points, 21 media comprehensive judges including Yahoo entertainment gave nre2296 viewers a comprehensive evaluation.

On the other hand, the day after the premiere, cinre made a very bold prediction that the final North American box office of "hangover" would exceed $200 million!

Now, even if someone boldly predicted that "hangover" would take $150 million at the North American box office, no one believed it, but cinre thought that the film would take about $230 million at the North American box office.

"You can't predict how far a film's box office will go by just relying on a score," a cinre spokesman explained. "You need to make a comprehensive comparison by putting a number of factors together, including the film level, type, audience distribution, and the box office of similar movies in the past with similar scores."

Every year, there are always some films in Hollywood that are not favored by all parties before they are released, and even criticized by the media and film critics during the trial release. However, after they are released, they can get a very unexpected box office, and "hangover" will undoubtedly become one of them.

Three days after the first weekend, Seth Logan and Jonah hill, who had been fed up with criticism from the media and film critics, were finally elated. The hangover opened in 3560 cinemas, and the box office on the first day of Friday actually reached $19.54 million. The total box office in North America on the first weekend was as high as $54.88 million, with an average of more than $15000 per studio, and the production cost was only $3000 The box office of the movie is so good that it's flying.

"A surprising movie", "no new plot and hilarious dialogue", "the whole person is intoxicated in the movie and can't extricate himself from it, and all the passages are constantly in the mind", "the movie itself is really funny, it doesn't deliberately act, it doesn't moan, but its expression is also surprising", "it's really a great satisfaction!" Although the media evaluation is generally conservative, the public praise given by the audience has already shown that this R-class comedy must be seen.

The audience's support is an important reason for the film's popularity. Of course, no one can ignore it. Now Stanton's followers have a strong market appeal.

, however, not all Stanton members make complaints about the film. Some people are really not performing well. Unfortunately, Murphy has become a representative, and he has been crazy about the fans. (to be continued). ）
