Chapter 523

In the second week of May 2011, the war of opening summer archives is finally over. It's just, is it really over? The box office battle is really over; But it's hard to end the lingering charm.

Before the unveiling war, even the most daring media, even the craziest people in the industry, even the fans of the "speed and passion" series, even the most loyal fans of lenley hall, did not dare to make such a prediction, such an incredible prediction.

After the "variety show" released the box office forecast of the opening battle, a small part of the media put forward their opinions. They thought that the gap in the war would be smaller and the competition would be more fierce, but on the whole they agreed with the "variety show" view“ The Seattle Post is one of them.

Eli - vallah initially thought that "speed and passion 5" has a chance to defeat "Thor", but this chance is very small. But even Eli, he emphasized the duel between the box office results of the premiere, "speed and passion 5" premiered three days over the weekend, and "Thor" premiered three days over the weekend. Only a madman will think that "speed and passion 5" can defeat "Thor" and achieve the championship.

Now it seems that I'm really crazy.

But that's the fact. In this week's North American box office rankings, "speed and passion 5" has been pulling its teeth, stepping on the shoulder of "Thor" and pocketing the champion's crown, pushing this wildest, most crazy and most powerful summer to the first wave of climax.

What's even more incredible is that the cumulative box office of "speed and passion 5" in two weeks has reached 193 million US dollars. From Monday to Thursday, it has swept away thousands of troops without any rivals, showing a rare box office dominance. In the same period, the cumulative box office has exceeded 177 million of "Iron Man", not only 200 million in North America, The benchmark of 300 million yuan can be basically determined.

In two weeks, just two weeks, "speed and passion 5" gave full play to its dark horse nature, turned all the attention, attention and hot spots of the opening battle into the box office, and became the biggest winner of this year's summer season. No, the release time of this work is spring season, so it should be the biggest winner of the spring season.

Universal Pictures was overjoyed. Although the film was only released for two weeks, they couldn't wait to hold a celebration banquet.

Not only because "speed and passion 5" has created the best performance of the series, but also because of the great success of this work, the series has completed the transformation from quantitative change to qualitative change, and really entered the ranks of commercial blockbusters. Now what they need is not the question of shooting sequels, but the question of how many sequels they should shoot.

It's no exaggeration to say that universal pictures is now thinking about renewing their contracts - Van diesel and Paul Walker must stay, and Jordan Brewster must stay. Who else?

"Langley hall!"

This is an editorial from the "new Yorker" and also their answer to Universal Pictures: "complete the renewal of the contract of Langley hall as soon as possible! This is the top priority for Universal Pictures! " In their comments, they bluntly said that the success of speed and passion 5 was due to two people: Justin Lin and lenley hall.

As a director, Justin endows the film with a sharp and tough temperament, which makes the film break away from the previous pattern of skittish, showing a more grand overall view. At the same time, he also brings the adrenaline brought by drag racing to the extreme. He definitely contributes to the success of the film.

As an actor, Langley gives the film more story and depth of connotation.

For summer popcorn works, the story of the script has not been paid enough attention, but in fact, shooting an excellent commercial work, can never be separated from a solid story, take James Cameron's two great works "Titanic" and "Avatar" as an example, you can see. A good story can give commercial films more pleasure, more climax, more stimulation, and, of course, a smoother viewing experience.

Hobbes played such a role in the film. His judgment of justice and evil, his interpretation of law and morality, really give the story a new meaning: brothers, the brotherhood that can not be betrayed.

It is because Reyes killed Hobbes's brother partner, he decided to join the Dominic team, overthrow Reyes; It is because of Bryan's loyalty to his family that he decided to let them go; It is also because of Hobbes' inner responsibility and burden that he will never give up his mission of pursuing Dominic and Bryan.

"Speed and passion" series has been shot to the fifth, and finally has a core theme. From Hobbes, from the Hobbes played by Raleigh.

In the comments, they concluded, "it's hard to imagine that if it wasn't Langley, it would be another actor playing Hobbes. Is this another "speed and passion 4" It means to continue the simple and crude route without the core of the story and become another B-class popcorn blockbuster.

In fact, not only the "new Yorker" but also the "speed and passion 5" won the championship. After that, all the major media immediately made comments. They generally believed that this was a "victory belonging to Langley hall".

It is not only because of the duel between "lenley vs Chris" and "lenley vs Natalie", that lenley has won more attention in his personal capacity; And it's not just because lanli is a new face in the fifth part of the series, which attracts countless audiences with its amazing attitude; Because of the excellent performance of lanli in the film, he brought his personal charm to the extreme. At the same time, he completed the most important jigsaw puzzle of the film's transformation!

In contrast, Chris and Natalie lost the box office duel, but also the performance of the duel. Both of them have been criticized for their performances in Raytheon, especially Chris, who plays sol as a newcomer, and has personally experienced the original "Hayden Christensen" style. In this duel, they lost completely and there was no room for maneuver.

In the past half a month, Langley has become the hottest topic. Even the two main characters, fan and Paul, are willing to fall behind. There are indeed many "New Yorkers" who attribute all the credit for the victory to the media of Langley.

This is Hollywood. There will never be a lack of the myth of overnight fame. What's more, lanli is no longer such a category. In the previous award season, he was already a figure in the limelight.

Everyone is talking about the same topic. How did speed and passion 5 create this miracle? How did Langley become the key man in this miracle territory? The summer season has just begun, and the North American film market has swept away the decline, showing a thriving posture. Summer is coming.

Fisher Morgan is thinking about the same question: How did things get here? Everything goes step by step, so what went wrong?

In the past few weeks, there have been too many things happening, too chaotic and too anxious. He has never had a chance to calm down and think about them. Everything is like a torrent, rushing down in a swarm. He has come to his present position before he even has time to react. Now that the defeat is settled, he has time to reflect.

Thinking along the vein all the way back to explore, all of a sudden, Fisher was stunned, and a terrible idea sprang up in his mind: speculation, that deliberately arranged malicious speculation. He revealed the news, so that paparazzi found Chris, actively provoked a dispute, hoping to increase Chris's exposure, further enlarge the effective utilization rate of "Raytheon" project, and drain the last drop of residual value. But things seem to have been out of control since then.

If there is no extraneous, everything is in order, "Raytheon" box office will have a better performance? Would Chris be in a better position if he didn't overdo it and was content with the status quo? If we didn't paint the lily and concentrate on propaganda, would the victory of the unveiling war be different?

This idea just came out. It was like the sharp teeth of a poisonous snake, biting the blood vessels on his neck. It was cold and piercing, and the whole blood began to flow counter current. The stiff and sharp tingling sensation suddenly exploded, and then the sense of shame drowned him and made him unable to breathe.

Heaven and hell.

Just a moment's thought deviation, just a moment's thought deviation, just a moment's decision deviation, heaven becomes hell. It was so cruel, so cold, that the heart suddenly froze, completely out of breath.

"No, absolutely not!" Fisher bit the tip of his tongue hard, and the smell of blood began to spread. He cut off all his divergent thinking and abruptly interrupted his thinking. "Absolutely not!" Fisher came to a firm conclusion, and that's all for reflection.

What he needs now is not to cling to the mistakes of the past, but to look forward to the future and think about solutions.

A slight "eery" sound sounded. The door of the hotel room was gently pushed open, but it exploded in Fisher's ear like thunder. He suddenly raised his head, and then saw the dejected Chris.

Chris pushed open the door of the hotel room, drooped his shoulders and dragged his feet. Gravity seemed to play an important role in his body. Every detail of his body language was feeling the weight of falling. Then he went to the sofa and sat down with a heavy sigh, At this time, the sunny and handsome facial features are completely overcast, and fatigue is written in every corner of the cheek.

With a roar of anger, Fisher suddenly stood up and roared, "my prince Saul, don't look like a dead face abandoned by my father and betrayed by my brother! You are the actor of Thor, half of the young Hollywood actors are envious of your good luck. Who are you looking for in this angry posture! It's just a box office failure at the premiere. You look like you just lost your virginity. "
