The Best Director

Chapter 359 The world is yours

"I just came back from watching it with my parents, it was so good!!! Po is so cute, the story lines are light and humorous, and the theater was full of laughter! The action scenes are beautiful, the pure Chinese Kung Fu effect, especially the majestic China The landscape painting style was very touching, and the humanistic aspects were even more in place. In the end, when Abao defeated Tailang and hugged Abao’s father, I was really touched! Definitely recommended!!”

With "Kung Fu Panda" being fully released in mainland China and audiences returning from watching the movie, there has been heated discussion on Tianya Forum, Baidu Tieba and various film and television subtitle websites.

Facts have proven that the majority of the Chinese audience is very tolerant and open-minded, and can think humbly and objectively, admit problems and ask for improvements; on the contrary, some people are willing to be criticized by others under the name of artists, experts and scholars and the attention of the media. The mocking clown used the boycott as a gimmick to hype himself up, adding some unexplainable scandals to the originally simple "Kung Fu Panda".

Tianya user Xiaohaoge praised it like this: "I finished watching it today. I had high expectations before, but after watching it, I felt it was better than I imagined!". Binglong praised: "To be honest, it is very good. It should be funny, and it should be fighting. , and even added some sensationalism, but there was a little kid in the cinema who laughed from beginning to end." The gangster police officer said: "I just watched the screening and thought it was quite good. I took my wife and parents to see it. , I haven't seen the cinema so full for a long time." Han Chi praised: "Although there is Wang Yang, I still can't imagine that "Kung Fu Panda" is a movie made by Hollywood. I am not surprised by the large number of Chinese elements in the movie, but I am surprised by it. Many domestic teams have never understood the Chinese culture and philosophy, but Hollywood has understood it and performed it so profoundly."

If you think that "Kung Fu Panda"'s confession will be rejected by others and Flaming Blue Sky's love letter will not be appreciated, you are wrong!

There are only a small group of people who keep clamoring to boycott Po the Panda and are keen on panda conspiracy theories; many people don’t even know about this, and most of the viewers who know about it are discerning people who are not so sensitive. Not so blind and shallow! On the contrary, the Chinese people's ability to accept and integrate foreign cultures has always been strong from ancient times to the present. There has never been any major religious war in history. Gods and Buddhas in the sky can play mahjong together; all traditional festivals and foreign festivals can be celebrated as Valentine's Day. , you can appreciate the civilization, history and popular culture of any country, without the narrow-minded arrogance and ignorance that ordinary Americans don’t read subtitles.

In this regard, the Chinese people are indeed very broad-minded. Any culture that comes in will be sinicized and integrated into their own; not to mention that it is their own traditional culture. Chinese movie fans know how to appreciate this "Kung Fu" movie. Panda", Taoist culture, Buddhist culture...

Master Raccoon said: "There are some things we can control. I can control when the fruit falls, and I can also control where the seeds are planted." Master Turtle replied: "Yes! But no matter what you do, the seeds will still grow." To grow into a peach tree, you may want apples or oranges, but you can only get peaches, and that seed will still grow into a peach tree." This sentence may be an ordinary conversation in North American and European theaters, but Chinese movie fans can hear it more deeply. means, Taoist action and inaction,

Follow nature; the death of Master Oogway seems to be just a very beautiful picture, but they can feel the martial arts, the Holy King of Heaven and Earth, the creation of the Holy King, the Night Killing God, the Divine Seal, the Throne, the Demon Arrogance, the Nine Heavens, the Strongest Abandoned Young Master, the Great Zhou Royal Family, the Night Killing God, the God. Seal the throne, ask for the devil, proud of the world, the ninth level of heaven, the strongest abandoned young man, the great Zhou royal family, martial arts, will kill the god at night, seal the throne of the devil, proud of the world, the ninth level of heaven, the strongest, abandoned young man, the great Zhou royal family, create the god, night killing god, seal the throne, seek for the devil, proud of the world, ninth level of heaven The strongest abandoned the young Zhou royal family to a deeper artistic conception.

Therefore, it is no surprise that "Kung Fu Panda" is very popular in China. While fans praise and recommend it on the Internet, more and more people are criticizing Zhao Bandi and others for their unreasonable troubles.

The media also showed the rationality they should have... The special title of "Times Weekly": "The hit of "Kung Fu Panda": Chinese cultural export, or American cultural invasion?" Sina Entertainment said: "'Kung Fu Panda' is written for China's love letter..." China News Agency wrote an article saying: "Cultural thinking caused by the craze of Kung Fu Panda...", "Looking at the lack of Chinese traditional culture from "Kung Fu Panda...", "Instead of trying to fish in the deep end, it is better to retreat. Make a web.”…

At present, the main reason why mainland audiences go to movie theaters is to "go and see that movie"... "to go and watch a movie" is only a minority, and during this period, more people are "going to go see "Kung Fu Panda"" than "going to go and see "Star" There are too many "Prequel 3", and the type of content suitable for all ages makes them more likely to take care of their families.

After May 27th-29th, there is no doubt that the weekend champion will be the winner! "Kung Fu Panda" took in 10,000 yuan, breaking many box office records in mainland film history. Not long ago, "Star Wars Episode III" exceeded 10,000 yuan in its opening weekend, ranking second in the weekend box office of imported blockbusters. The previous record holder It is Wan's "Las Vegas", and the third place is Wan's "Lord of the Rings 3" last year.

Now "Kung Fu Panda" is gaining momentum, racing all the way to the top! New first! When two weeks later (May 27-June 2, June 3-9), its mainland box office hit 10,000, breaking the national animated film box office record of 10,000 held by "The Lion King" released in 1995 .

China's domestic animation market mainly attracts younger audiences, and its box office performance has never been very good. In addition to "The Lion King", imported films have a sales of 40 million, Pixar's "More" series, and Blue Sky's "Ice Age" series. Often there are only more than 30 million. No amount of resistance can defeat this wave of enthusiasm for watching movies. "Kung Fu Panda", which appeals to all ages, is not only the new champion, but will also expand this record number to 50 million, 60 million, or 70 million.

This summer is destined to be a movie-watching boom for mainland audiences. Although "Star Wars: Episode III" and "Kung Fu Panda" have set records, the most anticipated "Firefly" has not yet made its debut. It will be released on June 18 with Released simultaneously worldwide.

Not long ago, "Firefly" began to complete 66 ratings in various countries, which are equivalent to the level of P-13 in the United States. Recently, it also passed the review of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, making the fans very happy! You must know that they have been worried about the world background setting of "Firefly" for a long time, fearing that some official would decide to put a mosaic on the Dragon Eagle star flag of the Covenant. Fortunately, radio and television

Relevant personnel told the media: "There is no problem with the content and it will not hurt the emotions of the audience."

"Kung Fu Panda" is a hit and "Firefly" is a hit. Regarding the situation in mainland China, Fire Movies is really happy! Wang Yang also had the feeling that Jessica was pranking him with "divorce". He was so angry before due to boycotts and calls from the media, but now it seems that he reacted too fiercely and was too self-righteous, and was beaten by a few boring people. The guy jumped in anger and felt hurt. It was really funny, but the Chinese audience was so cute! He loves his fans! And fried rice!

"Yeah!" When they heard that "Kung Fu Panda" set a new record in the history of animated films in mainland China, everyone in the Blue Sky headquarters office burst into cheers. It has won the candy and love of the Chinese audience and realized its original intention. It has been working hard for the past three years. The Panda team was very happy and gratified: "This is really great!"

There is also good news for the Panda team. The global box office of "Kung Fu Panda" has exceeded 300 million US dollars, and is expected to eventually exceed 600 million. The box office alone will be a huge profit! Flame Blue Sky officially announced to the media that the "Kung Fu Panda 2" project has been launched! This sequel will hit the big screen around the world in three years; and in the future, Flame Blue Sky will also produce more unique cultures and charming styles from around the world into animated films, writing love letters to movie fans around the world.

From May 27th to June 2nd, the North American weekly box office champion was retained by "Star Wars Episode III" with 82.36 million. Although the freshness of the two new films this week was 55%/39% and 31%/% respectively, both Although they were labeled as bad films by film critics, they were still able to show enough competitiveness. "Madaga Vega", which opened in 4,131 theaters, received 72.26 million and ranked second. "The Longest Code" took advantage of the market There was no live-action comedy on the show, earning 33.68 million and ranking third, while "Kung Fu Panda" ranked fourth with 33.68 million.

The battle is fierce! There was a fight every day in North American theaters from June 3 to 9. "Kung Fu Panda", which received another 18.31 million this week, ranked fifth, and has completely dropped out of the top three stages (a total of 182.7 million in North America); and the first "Motor" "Galas" 38.96 million, the second "The Longest Code" 34.45 million, the third "Star Wars Episode III" 34.45 million (total 317.2 million in North America). It can be said that the winner was determined until the last day, which made the viewers of movie fans are hooked.

"Star Wars: Episode III" is already in its third week, and it can put on such a good show with two commercial films in the next week. It's really terrifying. What's even more terrifying is that it has a global box office of 641.2 million! Taking the world by storm in 22 days!

However, no matter how brilliant it is, there will be a day of curtain call. The final chapter of the Star Wars series has entered the final stage; another great director's work "Kingdom of Heaven" increased this week's .65, with a box office of 46.41 million in North America, and overseas movies released simultaneously worldwide. 160 million, and failed miserably with an almost fixed total box office of 210 million.

There are failures as well as rebirths. Although "Summer of Jeans", one of the three large-scale new films this week, has received favorable reviews, with a freshness rating of 77%/94% and a likeability rating of 78%, it only had a box office of 14.27 million in one week. This mediocre result made Yu Shu Ya was very angry: "Everyone should read what the newspapers say! The Washington Post said that this is a must-see movie, with an emotional story about a girl and excellent acting! What is really surprising is that, They can make a grown man cry. It’s so classic and so great! I want to watch it ten times!”

Joshua is so excited about this movie, which stars Blake Lively, Alexis Bledel and others.

One of the new films, "Lords of Dogtown", originally invited Heath Ledger to star, but he turned it down because of "Firefly". He seemed to have made a wise decision. "Lords of Dogtown" only received 7.53 million this week, which is fresh. The degree is 55%/61%, which is a mess.

As "Firefly" is about to be released, Heath Ledger, who has participated in various promotional interviews, has been greatly exposed recently. Whether he is with Wang Yang or alone, he always looks so happy that he can't help himself. When talking to reporters Talking about "Fireflies" about his fiancée and the joy of family: "Magic Yang helped me a lot! You know on the set and in life, thank you so much.", "Michelle is definitely a good mother.", "I Will teach the baby to call daddy first.”…

The whole world has long known that Michelle Williams is five months pregnant. Only some friends know that the baby is a girl. Heath Ledger decided to use the name Wang Yang helped give and name his daughter Matilda Ruth. Ledger.

Another great director appears! Oscar-winning director Ron Howard's new film "The Man with the Iron Fist" produced by Wanliwan is released. Although it has "best partners" Russell Crowe and Innie Zeweger starring, it has %/81% freshness, With an excellent rating of 88%, it retains the hope of hitting the Oscars next year. However, it was not a hit, and the weekly box office was only a pitiful 24.91 million. Universal Pictures was disappointed! Seeing the upcoming blockbusters, there is no need to print tickets for "The Man with the Iron Fist".

Another great director failed miserably! At least it was a commercial failure. As one of the top ten directors with the highest box office in North America in film history, Ron Howard failed to show his commercial ability this time. Yahoo Entertainment's list of expectations for this summer (No. 5 "The Man with the Iron Fist") was another miscalculation.

Joshua was very angry, and Wang Yang was also very angry, and they were holding back their anger. They didn't know whether they should be angry at himself or her. A shocking incident happened. A few days ago, Wang Yang and Jessica attended this year's TV Movie Awards together to promote "Firefly". After the joyful awards ceremony, Jessica, who was nearly three months pregnant, But I fell down while walking backstage at the Shenandoah Theatre! Fortunately, the fall was not serious, and she did not feel any pain in her stomach or any other abnormality, and her family doctor also said she was fine.

At that time, media reporters were not allowed to take pictures backstage, so we did not see the newspapers again, but that is not the point! Wang Yang was very shocked at the time, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat: "Oh my God!!" Why was she walking so well... But thinking about her usual behavior, it didn't seem surprising.

Weird, but now she is pregnant!

Of course, Wang Yang was not angry or blaming anyone. He was just worried about her and the baby and was out of breath. Seeing Jessica looking like she was about to cry, how could he not understand her mood? Comforting at the time and comforting afterwards, the two of them faced a storm together. Before pregnancy, there was only longing and beauty. There were many situations that I had never thought about, or thought "I can't do it." These difficulties gradually appeared during pregnancy, but he was not silent, and she was not afraid...the family would be fine.

The process of a baby from conception to birth is also the process of expectant parents becoming parents. Both they and the baby are growing.

"Jan, Heath, you are going to be dads this year, do you have anything to say?" In the bright interview room, "People" interview reporter Vera McGee asked with a smile, Michelle Williams is pregnant The news has long been confirmed; at the recent TV Movie Awards, Wang Yang and Jessica jointly took the stage to present awards. While joking with each other and making the guests laugh bursts, the two finally confirmed that she was three months pregnant and that she would retire from acting. At least one year.

Hearing the word "dd" in this question, Wang Yang laughed paternally. Heath Ledger also laughed paternally. Wang Yang expressed his wish: "I hope the baby and the baby's mother will be healthy." , Complete this journey happily." Heath Ledger nodded and said: "This is also my idea, I only hope this." Vera McGee then smiled and asked: "Do you want the baby to talk to daddy first in the future? Or mom?" Heath Ledger glanced at Wang Yang and laughed loudly: "I wonder if this is a kind of competition? I will teach the baby to call daddy first."

Wang Yang smiled and shrugged: "I just hope that the baby will not learn to be Bd, but dd!"

In this exclusive interview, Wang Yang self-evaluated "Firefly" as: "An interesting, mysterious, exciting and thrilling interstellar adventure. It will be a little sad, but everyone will spend most of the time laughing and exclaiming. ." Heath-Ledger commented on himself: "My best performance since my debut, this is a movie."

The tender photo of the two of them with smiles on their faces, holding their hands on their waists and raising their belly in a pregnant posture, became the cover of "People". This is their dedication to their wives: "Pregnant women are the most beautiful!" However, Robert Downey Jr. was quite disappointed. Let's take a photo of the magazine cover with "Firefly" The Three Musketeers... because his new wife Susan Levin is also pregnant.

On the new weekend, June to 12th, North American movie theaters welcomed four new films for large-scale screenings. The horror film "High Voltage" and the comedy "The Honeymoon Period" did not make any surprises; Robert Rodri Getz's new work "Shark Boy and Lava Girl 3D" aimed at 3D but messed up: "This is terrible 3D, this movie is full of everything bad." Freshness%/16%, Likeability 39%, dB3.4 points. Rodriguez had just been praised for "Sin City", but in the blink of an eye, he was criticized by cruel and ruthless film critics and audiences.

The billion-dollar action blockbuster "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" debuted in 3,424 theaters! The movie received more attention because of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston's divorce and Brad Pitt and Angelique Jolie dating, although it received 58%/46% freshness and 63% likes. It was a bad movie, but it grossed 340,000 in its opening weekend and became the box office champion this week! "Mr. and Mrs. Smith," No. 8 on Yahoo Entertainment's list of expectations for this summer, was not a hit.

No. 1 "Star Wars: Episode III" was a mixed hit, with three and a half stars ★★★☆; No. 3 "Kingdom of Heaven" was completely screwed up, with half a star; No. 5 "The Man with the Iron Fist" was both well-received and poorly received, with two and a half stars. ★★☆; No. 8 "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was a hit, with two stars★★.

Isn't it possible that it is both a hit and well-received? Isn’t there four or five stars? On Thursday, June 16th, the sixth-placed "Batman Begins" opened in 3,718 North American theaters. It cost 100 million to produce and was released semi-global simultaneously; on Friday, June 17th, the second-placed "Firefly" It's been a long time coming and has been released in 63,845 North American theaters. It cost 100 million to produce and will be released simultaneously around the world! Two long-awaited movies from movie fans around the world collide head-on!

"Now that I have grown up and will be in fifth grade, even if I can't enter the screening room, I can at least be friends with you, right?" Duoduo said to Efedo on the big TV screen.

"Sometimes, when you hear a room full of people laughing and shouting, you will be very happy. It feels good, as if you are making them laugh and make them forget their worries."

"Her smile makes you feel...I don't know what to say." Duoduo looked distressed. Ifedo said: "This is love."...

"Firefly" will be released tomorrow! In the dimly lit spacious hall, Wang Yang huddled in a ball on the fabric sofa, watching "Cinema Paradiso" on the screen in ecstasy. Will this movie make people laugh and cry? Listening to his breathing getting heavier and heavier, Jessica, who was sitting next to him, leaned against him and didn't speak quietly. Wang Yang put his arm around her waist and gently stroked her belly. For some reason My eyes suddenly felt a little moist, which happens every time I watch "Cinema Paradiso".

"Leave here, go to Rome! You are still young, the world is yours, I am old. I don't want to hear you talk anymore, I want to hear someone else talk about you... Love your work, just like you loved the projector when you were a child! "Efedo said to Duoduo.

The film quietly came to an end. On the TV screen, the black and white film scenes were constantly changing, scenes of prohibited shots at that time, scenes of kisses, and in the leisurely and melancholy music played by the speakers, Wang Yang and Jessica kissed each other tenderly.

"I don't want to hear you talk anymore, I want to hear someone else talk about you..."
