2005 is definitely one of the most important years in the history of human movies, and it is also a glorious year in the history of science fiction movies. The "Star Wars" prequel series ended, "Firefly" shocked the world... I can't count so many important and lively years. Major events, they will definitely be an important part of film history in the future. The time has come to December 30th, and the year is coming to an end. The annual box office rankings of various movie box offices and film companies have almost been settled. In addition to the box office tops for the New Year's Eve week from December 30 to 2006-1-5, there are also Before it was released, the last North American Zhou Guanjun was born.

"This cannot be said to be a breakthrough in low-cost independent films and romantic comedies, because only the phenomenal director Wang Qiyang has the ability to create this phenomenon, and no one on the planet can stop him." This is the comment on Yahoo's weekly box office review list Just kidding, after-show survey data showed that 60% of the viewers of "500 Days" were 18 years old and above, and 59% were women. This means that most of the viewers were couples, not families with children. At the same time, the magical BABY once again caused women to take action, even though "500 Days" is a male movie.

"Wang Yangyang is completely unaffected by the mediocre movie market. He brings the audience into the cinema. He is the one who drives the market." Paul Dergarabei, director of the box office statistics agency NS, expressed his own opinion. He said Said: "It's like a concert. No matter what type of movie, as long as it is made by Magic Yang, the audience has enough reasons to watch it until they go home disappointed for the first time. But 10 movies in 7 years, not once. Now. It’s his time.”

In the 2000 Christmas season, "Juno" and "Cast Away" fought tooth and nail, and finally won the Christmas week crown from 22 to 28 that year with a narrow margin of 969,100, with an opening week box office of 70,619,800. (2,712 theaters); In 2002, "The Hangover" won the top spot on the 13th to 19th of that year with 85.0916 million (2,875 theaters), and then lost to "The Lord of the Rings" in the first week on the 21st to 26th in the second week. "; In 2003, "The Devil Wears Prada" was in a fierce battle with the film critics. It took the top spot on the 12th to 18th of the year with 74.6852 million (3056 theaters), and then lost the following week on the 19th to the 25th. For the first week of "Lord of the Rings 3".

Wang Qiyang competed in the Christmas period four times,

All of them can win the first-week crown, but there was only one real Christmas week crown before. Now after 5 years, Xiao Qingsheng Yang returns to the set and regains the Christmas week crown with an absolute advantage!

This week's North American box office total reached 365 million U.S. dollars, directly chasing the 2003 peak period of 371 million from December 26 to January 1, sweeping away the decline in the past many months after "Firefly." "Love Sǐ is so popular!" Needless to say how happy the theater owners are, why is Love Sǐ so popular? The total box office from the 16th to the 22nd last week was just over 200 million! Just imagine that without this blockbuster and strong government, perhaps the number would have been an unsurprising little over 300 million.

Ranked second is "The Chronicles of Narnia". This fantasy blockbuster received 58.54 million in its third week (3853 theaters, an average of 15,196 per theater), with a total North American box office of nearly 200 million; third place "King Kong" 55.41 million (second week, 3576/15,495), with a total North American box office of nearly 150 million.

This is like a dividing line, with the "three blockbusters" at the top, and the miserable wailing of new movies at the bottom. The fourth place is "New Money-Stealing Couples" with 27.18 million; the fifth place is "Children and Children 2" with 24.54 million "Memoirs of a Geisha" ranked sixth with expanded screenings (1,547, +1,495) with 13.32 million; "The Stones", the seventh new film for the next week, with 12.16 million; "Rumors" starring Jennifer Aniston and others It became a bad film with a three-point Rotten Tomatoes rating of 20%/13%/51%, with a box office of 9.07 million in the five days it was released this week; Wenstein Pictures' horror film "Wolf Creek" scored 53%/52%/50 % became a bad movie, with a box office of 5.4 million in its first week...

The other two films that were screened on a small scale, "Mucheny Massacre" received 9.51 million (532 stores); "Brokeback Mountain" received 6.61 million (270 stores), with the total box office rising to 12.58 million.

destroy! "500 Days with Summer", which cost 150 million to produce, not only tormented its opponents this week, but also gave other opponents in film history a bad feeling of powerlessness. Its first-week score of 113 million has already reached 113 million. Let it jump to the 17th place in the North American film history rankings in the romantic comedy category (1978-present). However, there are only 6 movies with a box office of more than 150 million, and only 1 with a box office of more than 200 million. The scary situation now is that it used The box office exceeded 100 million in 7 days! Ranked 22nd on the list of "Fastest to 100 million in history", what kind of movies are it surrounded by?

No. 19 "X-Men 2", No. 20 "Jurassic Park 2"; No. 21 "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" with a cost of 100 million, 102 million in 6 days, and finally 261 million in North America; 23rd 1.25 "The Day After Tomorrow", which cost 100 million, earned 100 million in 7 days, and finally reached 186 million in North America; "Rush Hour 2" ranked 24th, "Fake God" ranked 25th, and "Finding Nemo" ranked 26th...

Now a small novel can actually stand shoulder to shoulder with the behemoths advertised by these productions. It’s so powerful! Half a year before Miracle announced the new plan, the media and movie fans never thought about this project! This is the first time that a wasteful comedy has collected tickets in such an astonishing way. Will the box office crown of romantic comedy movies change its owner? With its super high reputation and never-ending "magical stamina", according to the speculations of NS and other agencies, it is a big deal for "500 Days of Summer" to enter the 200 million North American box office club. 99% of what will happen, and is expected to be around 250 million.

"Miracles are always created by people, and the person who always creates miracles is named Wang Yuyang." Yahoo Entertainment reported at the end that the opening result of "500 Days" also created Wang Yuyang's third personal film to break 100 million in the first week. , "Firefly" 236.5 million, "District 9" 131 million, and then "Summer"; and the fourth place in this year's opening week, "Firefly", 150 million "Star Wars Episode III", 146 million " Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," and then "Summer."

You can imagine how huge the effect of "Firefly" is; how awesome Miraculous Yang is; and how outstanding "Summer" itself is, a spectacle that has never been seen before!

However, fans such as Blaise-C and Lois-G who had already made the assertion were not surprised. Blaise-C left a message on the comment board of "Weekly Box Office Review" and said: "So sad! I mean " "500 Days of Summer" and this ranking, these poor films really need comfort, why? What did they do wrong? Why should they be screened at the same time as Magic Young? Maybe this is the biggest mistake." Lois -G said: "It turns out that the second place is "The Chronicles of Narnia", and it lost -93%. It has done very well! I thought it would be more than -100%." ​​Elizabeth-V said: " A friend of mine said before that, 'Wang Yang Yang doesn't know how to make romantic movies. He still has to show off despite being seriously injured. He will be a loser this time.' I just called him and said, 'You saw it, Pei Yang. son!'"……

""Fireflies" just lacks a normal and beautiful Taobao Women's Clothing Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao Women's Winter Jacket m woman, and a normal element of love." - Score: 60 points, TY-Bull, "The Boston Globe".

"This movie cast a spell that captivated me, with sparkling fun, genuine beauty, breathtaking, exciting and brilliant ( nderfully-ng-and-antly) performance." -- Score: 95 points, TY-Bull, "The Boston Globe."

Yanghei became Yangmi! Half a year ago, TY-Bull gave "Fireflies" one of the few moderate reviews. The biggest problem was questioning the director's way of handling female characters. This is also a long-standing suspicion of Wang Yuyang in the film critic circle. More than one critic complained that his works lacked the enthusiasm for chasing girls, even if they have so-called love elements. In early July, he announced "500 Days with Summer" "'s new plan, Rotten Tomatoes said this: "It seems that the war between Young and film critics will continue."

Now that the "Battle of Shamo" has begun and has a result, who is the winner?

Seven days after its release, the IMDB-P250 list score of "500 Days" was not as strong as "Firefly", falling to 8.5 points (113,tes) and temporarily stabilizing; on the other hand, the Rotten Tomatoes audience likeability dropped to 92% (731,926 (a rating user), the reason for the low ratings was mainly because they didn’t like the overall style of the film, especially the chaotic narrative structure. At the same time, the “sad comedy” and “non-Hollywood structure” were also criticized. It's full of Rotten Tomatoes, and many people just want to "simply celebrate success with white wedding cakes."

However, the freshness of popular film critics is 92% (171/185), and the freshness of famous critics is 95% (40/42). Who is the winner?

Jeffrey Westhoff of the Northwest Herald refused to admit defeat and vowed to fight to the end. He scored 2/4 points: "The whole ambition of it feels like a synthetic product. This style makes people need to bulge their eyes to search and see, it is very boring and incomprehensible." Obviously he found a good anti-opposition camp and denied the style and tone, so what is the meaning of this movie being so profound? ? Its view of love is not new.

However, Westerhoff's blog still could not escape the criticism and ridicule from fans. Valeria left a message saying: "Of course, for your IQ, you are worthy of watching "Super Perfect Points" and "Super Perfect Score". "Super Perfect Man"." Logan-G left a message and said: "Wow! I found a "40-year-old virgin" and finally understood why the population is experiencing negative growth." Delong-L wrote: "My It may be a unique situation, I went to see it with my family, and my 10-year-old brother said, 'This style is so cool!'"...

There is no doubt that Magic Young has won, "Shamo" has won, and now is the carnival time for Young fans! How much suffocation I had held back before, I will let it out now! More!

So several other film critics who published Rotten Tomatoes received the same treatment, including David Edelstein of New York Magazine and Joe Morgenstern of New York Times. Well, Liam Lacey of the "Globe and Mail", Kimberly Jones of the "Austin Chronicle"... some of them are traditional critics, and some are critics who are not interested in the film, but this time it is different from "TDWP" 》In the war of words, no one stood beside them, but more and more people threw a shǐ in their faces.

Kirk Honeycutt of The Hollywood Reporter, Ben Mankiewicz of In the Movies, Dana Stevens of Slate, Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune...

"Watching this movie is a joyful experience. Almost every scene is full of fun. If you don't pay attention, the night will be over. It's the kind of movie that you never want to finish. Of course you need to When I go to the bathroom in the middle, I still hope it will pause.”

Film critic Roger Ebert was full of praise for it in the "Chicago Sun" and gave it a perfect score of A+. His detailed film review still starts with an overall evaluation, introduces the director and script, retells the plot, and evaluates the actors. and production, and finally introduces the writing model of North American film critics with relevant background.

He continued: "One of the most unforgettable scenes for me was when the hero Tom and the heroine Summer had sex for the first time. He walked out of the apartment with a great look on his face, singing and dancing. It was the most wonderful feeling. However. Close your eyes and imagine that you are running in the sunny fields, with harmless birds following you, the fragrance of flowers, and the breeze. Use your imagination as much as you want. Everything is so beautiful. It's great to see that sunny young man back."

"The plot of the movie is not complex and novel, but it creates a fresh feeling through many sincere details. The Holy King of the Martial Universe, the Creation of the Holy King, the Night Killer, the Divine Seal, the Throne, and the Demon Arrogance in the World. The Strongest Abandoned Young Master of the Great Zhou Royal Family. The king will kill the god and seal the throne at night. Asking for the demon and the most powerful and abandoned boy in the ninth level of the world. I won’t talk too much about young people born in the 1980s. I don’t think “Knight Rider” is the best TV show. As a TV show about love, I won’t talk too much about it. Romantic comedy, it does it enough and well enough. In love, we only believe those things that we want to believe. That's why this movie is so attractive. It is real, respectful and natural."

Albert seemed to be in a cheerful and cheerful mood, and then he wrote: "Wang Yuyang has completed another great performance. "Firefly" made him like a knight, and "500 Days with Summer" made him like a poet. .Who said he can't make love movies? That guy really should be jailed. I hope those people say 'he can't make war movies' next time, because I'm tired of those ridiculous 'epics'. Poet Miraculous Yang dissected love. Have you seen the anatomy diagram of the human body? He did that, so when you watch this movie, you may feel heartbroken about love and also feel sad."

Later, when introducing the plot, the old man talked about several favorite classic scenes in a lively manner, and praised the performances of the leading actors. He said: "When Natalie Portman was paired with Wang Yuyang, she seemed to have smoked too much. Ma, or the child who gets the favorite toy, behaves very energetically, but this is not a good habit. If you think about it from another angle, her performance in other movies is just a joke." In addition, the exquisite production His work and unique style were also praised by him.

Finally, he commented: "If you know that before the filming of this movie started, Wang Yangyang almost died; during the filming, he could only use one hand and had to endure the sequelae of concussion... It took half a year from preparation to release. You I understand that it has 10,000 reasons to fail, but now it has 10,000 reasons to be praised. I checked before publishing this article. The British media all praised it, and the American media also praised it. What a sherbet. , ice cream, smoothies, ice cream shop menus, and some people say it is "Annie Hall." I saw the premiere of "Annie Hall" 28 years ago, and watched it again three years ago. I was surprised to find that every scene had an instant sense of familiarity, and it turned out that I had never forgotten it; I believe that the same will happen when I watch "500 Days of Summer" again 25 years later, if I am still alive."

Roger Ebert's film review received enthusiastic support from fans. More than one fan said that Wang Yang's new nickname is "The Magic Poet", and in fact it can be traced back to the ancient Tang poetry in the final scene of "Firefly" ; Many movie fans flocked to Wang Mingyang's blog and left messages: "You can't make comedies.", "You can't make sports movies.", "You can't make horror movies."... Wang Mingyang is like a living tree. A wishing tree, but if you want your wish to come true, you have to say it out in a provocative way.

Although this is not a film that was decided upon after "brain damage" such as "I Am Legend", "The Dark Knight", "Oldboy", "Iron Man", etc., the first wave of post-autumn reckoning among fans has arrived. A slam dunk head on! Not only the film critics and online trolling users have been bombarded in every possible way, but people who have previously taken on the challenge in life have also become the latest targets of ridicule in the circle of friends. Who makes this a must-talk when talking about the magic of Yang? Topic? And talking about Qi Qiyang is a must-talk topic?

“Hahaha——” For example, Evelin, Alice and others called Yanghei’s friends and laughed happily until the other party admitted defeat and said: “Okay, he can make romance movies, I was wrong! But this does not mean that his other decisions are correct."

correct? mistake? The 2005 North American box office total of Flame Movie reached an astonishing level, completing the unfinished feat last year and breaking 1 billion US dollars? Already done it! And who else will break through 1 billion this year?
