Chapter 272 The highly anticipated release

"Do you believe that a person can change his destiny?"

"I think people should do their best and then leave it to fate."

On the big screen, the handsome Tom Cruise and Ken Watanabe said to leave their power to fate. 2,908 theaters in North America were screening "The Last Samurai", and the audience was eating popcorn to watch this historical war film; on the other side, there were sporadic screams from time to time, and 3,122 theaters were painting "Ghost House"; there were also films such as "The Angry Sea Confrontation" and "Matrix Revolution" that still had the lingering charm.

The theaters were not very lively in the week from December 5 to 11 after Thanksgiving. In seven days, the total box office was only 126 million, while "The Last Samurai" won the weekly championship with a box office of 32.78 million. However, the reviews it received were not high. Although the audience liked 82%, the freshness of film critics was only 65% ​​and 56%. The film critics were so dissatisfied, which means that its dream of hitting major Oscars was basically shattered.

Next year's 76th Oscar is destined to be boring and boring, without any suspense. Apart from "The Lord of the Rings 3", which has been "accumulated" for three years, it will inevitably sweep the army, including Best Picture, Best Director and many technical awards; the situation of Best Actor and Actress is also very clear. Sean Pan, who has received countless praises, has no rivals in "The Mysterious River", who has not been released but has received rave reviews in the film festival.

However, the focus of the media is still on the box office competition during the Christmas period. The arrival of the 12th has lifted many movie fans and audiences. Finally, we can see several decent movies! The most anticipated thing is undoubtedly "The Lord of the Rings 3" released on the 17th. Its light covers a number of films; but the market has never been monopolized by anyone, and it has magical Yang. "The Demon in Prada" by Meryl Streep and others is also one of the hot topics.

Last year's Christmas, Wang Yang brought "The Hangover" which made the world laugh and finally won 617 million yuan in box office. What about this year? Will this urban fashion industry be popular with the popularity of the eighth film he directed in his career bring any surprises?

"In the novel, Andrea resigned, but she did not get her boyfriend's forgiveness...", "I'll count the famous brands, Prada, Armani, Versace, Chanel...", "That book is actually quite boring. It's just a resentful woman scolding another vicious woman, see how Shenqiyang will shoot..."

Listening to the low discussions of the audience around him, Clifford Pug, a film critic of the Houston Chronicle, sat down in his seat and looked at the big screen with advertisements in front of him. He couldn't help but feel a little expectant. Although he is a well-known film critic in the big newspaper, it is well known that "The Devil Wearing Prada" has not arranged any preview, and he can only release the movie together.

Clifford doesn't like last year's "Hangover". Although it's not meaningless, the traditional Hollywood assembly line garbage is still "you don't know why you laugh". After laughing, you will forget the name of the character, forget the story content, or in other words, you have never remembered the entire movie, and have no charming films.

This year's "mit-21-team" is impressive. Now this "Prada" has Meryl Streep, and the slogan has "cruel office" and "life choice" as old-fashioned but real space for play. Looking at Wang Yang's directing history, it should be good. Maybe it's a surprise work like "When Happiness Comes Knocks" and "Juno" that will become the dark horse of next year's Oscars.

In any case, Clifford Pug had high expectations and requirements for Wang Yang and "Tdwp". The second work of the Oscar for Best Director this year is truly his first work after winning the Oscar. I hope that the magical boy will not disappoint.

However, just look at the young audience around you and the packed screening room, it seems that one thing is certain that "tdwp" must be another magical blockbuster work. There is no "The Lord of the Rings 3" this weekend, and "tdwp" has a bit of the intention of doing whatever he wants in the cinema.

"Give me two tickets for "The Devil Wearing Prada", and two buckets of popcorn, Coke..." In front of a ticket desk in a Chicago theater, a young couple was about to buy tickets to enter, but the middle-aged female ticket seller spread her hands and said, "Sorry, we only have one room to show "TDWP". The tickets for tonight have been sold out just now, you can consider the midnight event." The young couple looked at each other, and the white boy said suspiciously: "Are you kidding?" The girl couldn't help but curse, "I just said I'd like to order pre-sale tickets!"

Compared with old men and women like "Love is Compromise", many young couples who date tonight have chosen "TDWP". Anyway, there are also magical Yang here, Meryl Streep, fashion + beauty gimmicks that are more attractive, and not able to buy tickets or sit in a good seat have caused unpleasant arguments among many couples, and then love is Compromise.

But if you look at the screening halls of 3,056 cinemas in North America, there are obviously more female audiences. On this Friday night, countless women of different ages and professions flocked to the cinema.

"There are 5 minutes left." Fanny looked at the clock on the phone screen. The trailer for "The Lord of the Rings 3" was played on the big screen, and everyone around her gradually became quiet. Fanny watched "TDWP" with her best friend, which was completely a blessing in disguise and confidence in him. She hated fashion and believed that fashion was the most useless thing on the planet, and it was a waste of time, so she never liked to watch fashion videos.

Because of Fantasy Young, because she knew Andrea would abandon fashion in the end, which was actually a satirical film, so she watched it. Of course, she discovered that many of the women sitting in the audience were dressed in "beautiful and fashionable", probably those white-collar workers in the office. Seeing a blond woman next to her take out a small mirror and look at herself, her satisfied smile seemed to be saying, "I'm not worse than Jessica Alba." Fanny shook her head, these sad women who were fascinated by fashion and luxury goods.

The premiere of "TDWP" was scheduled to be held in New York. Flame Movie invited a number of media reporters and critics, as well as some people from the New York fashion industry. The most eye-catching thing is Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of "Vogue" magazine. The original female demon was indeed wearing a Prada, holding a Prada handbag, and wearing a signature sunglasses to support the audience, causing the reporters to press the camera wildly; and when she stood with Lauren Weisberg, the original author of "TDWP", the flashlights made the sunglasses almost exploded.

"Nothing, nothing, it's just a novel. Of course, many of the comments on me in it are unfair." Anna Wentour, surrounded by reporters, was full of aura. She wore the most fashionable flower dress and said lightly: "I haven't seen the movie yet, but others always see others. Only I know my story and feelings, so I tell you, I've decided that I will start writing an autobiography next."

"Oh!" The reporters suddenly exclaimed a surprise. Anna Wintour successfully stole the limelight. They asked one after another: "When will it be published?" "Will it be adapted into a movie?" "Will you invite Fanqi Yang to direct it?"...

On the other hand, Lauren Weisberg is also one of the protagonists of the premiere. She has watched the theatrical version. Sure enough, the movie helped Anna Wintour back to the path of "a bitter strong woman". Fortunately, she is still so pitiful and sad.

"Are you satisfied with the adaptation of "Tdwp"?" When asked by reporters, Lauren Weisberg smiled and said, "I'm very satisfied! Fantasy Young turned it into a wonderful movie. I like Andrea created by Jessica." She was indeed very satisfied with her incarnation Andrea. She was confused and cute in the early stage, and gradually had a hint of evil. She was so happy when she cursed that she left crazy... This is Weisberg, this is Andrea.

Although she finally despised the fashion industry and left casually, the two "Andelias" on the red carpet on the scene were very fashionable and beautiful. Jessica was wearing a white long dress with only a Jian Ya black belt on the skirt, which looked simple and elegant. At this time, she was talking to Wang Weiwei about the wedding dress with a smile on her face, her eyes full of happiness; while Meryl Streep was wearing a black evening dress, and Emily Blunt had a more eye-catching red dress.

Meryl Streep's daughter Mami Gumo was also present. She also played a small role in the 2006 version, but in the post-recording, her shots were deleted by the editor; in this upcoming version, Mami Gumo has several supporting shots.

"So excited!" The screening hall of the Ziegfield Theater in New York was full. The premiere had already arrived at the movie viewing session. Jessica, who was sitting in the front row, excitedly said to Wang Yang beside him. This was the second time they had fulfilled their childhood agreement. It was four years ago since the last "Singing and Dance"! That heart-wrenching 18th birthday. She looked at his smiling face, her palms were held up, and her heart suddenly jumped very quickly. She smiled and said again: "I'm so happy!"

"So too." Wang Yang held her hand tightly and looked at the huge screen ahead. He was very happy, but the excitement of the film's launching on the screen during "The Ghost Record" has been diluted a lot. He just wants to appreciate the results of everyone again and appreciate the beautiful figure of Yiren on the screen. The movie has such magic, which can always retain the youth and beauty of this moment.

Soon the screening halls of 3,056 theaters became quiet, and the audiences of the Ziegfield Theater, both the critics and everyone, looked at the screen with great enthusiasm.

On the big screen, a moth broke through the darkness and came to the beautiful pastoral world, dancing with butterflies. The flames opened the animation. Under the light music, the soft and refreshing picture with the main creator's name began to play: "Director: Wang Yang; Original: Lauren Weisberg; Screenwriter: Wang Yang; Starring Meryl Streep, Jessica Alba, Emily Blunt..."
