Hollywood legendary director

Friday, November 22.

Early in the morning, Kurt drove out to pick up his girlfriend Lisa.

After receiving it, he asked curiously: "Lisa, you are so anxious to ask me out without saying what to do. Is there anything wrong?"

"You drive to the nearest cinema first." The girl looked very impatient.

Kurt drove the car through the intersection of the streets of Los Angeles and drove towards the Emirates Theater near Hollywood Boulevard. "Don't tell me to call me in such a hurry, just to go to the movies?"

"Can't it?" The girl replied looking out the window.

"It's okay, but there is no need to go so early. Isn't it right in the afternoon or evening." Kurt complained a little.Early in the morning, his girlfriend called him. He thought something was wrong, but this was the result.

"It's not that you had something last night, otherwise I can go to the Chinese Theater to watch the premiere of that movie. I missed it now. Of course, I have to hurry up and see it earlier."

Kurt turned around and the car turned into Hollywood Boulevard. "Don't tell me it's the movie called "Furious." I remember you didn't like watching war movies? Why are you interested again now." He was a little strange.

"I don't like war movies, but I like the director Lyman Last very much. I must watch his works."

Kurt, who was driving the car, said in surprise: "You turned out to be because of this. Is he really so good?"

"You don't understand? You don't like "Buried Alive" and "Three Fools in Bollywood", how can you appreciate the talent of Director Lyman?" Lisa continued, "It's a pity that I haven't seen him in person, obviously Last night, I had the best chance, but you missed it."

Kurt shook his head and didn't speak any more. This topic could not be continued.

His agile brain told him that something wrong might happen if he was singing the opposite.

The car was parked in the parking lot near the Emirates Rock Theater. Kurt and his girlfriend Lisa got out of the car and walked into the theater’s ticket lobby side by side.

Probably because they arrived too early, it was another working day, and there were not many people waiting to buy tickets.

""007: Die Another Day", two."

""Furious", two tickets," Lisa said.

The ticket seller took the money, found change, and drew a few strokes on the notebook next to it.

He was hired for an extra job today, which was commissioned by a box office market data survey company to faithfully record "Furious" and its biggest competitor-"007:" released in the United States on the same day through real-time and accurate sales. Ticket sales for Die Another Day.

It’s still early, and the theater has only been open for less than half an hour, but there is almost no suspense in the observed situation, just like the ticket purchase choices of the few audiences just now, the ticket sales of the two movies are not much different, which is accurate For one thing, the fan-based "007: Die Another Day" sold more movie tickets.

Time is getting closer to the movie screening point. Lisa took her boyfriend Kurt and sat a little lower in the middle. After sitting down, she looked around and found that even so early, there were about 20 seats in the theater. Audience.

It seems that Lyman Rast has gradually gained fame, and coupled with the enthusiastic publicity of the film, the market appeal is much better than when "Three Fools Havoc in Bollywood" was released.

She still remembers that when she went to the cinema to watch it, it was around 5:30 in the afternoon, and there were not so many people in the cinema.

In fact, Lisa had learned about the film "Furious" through the newspapers before she came here. Compared with "Three Fools in Bollywood", it relies on clicks and word of mouth to spread the word. This time, the North American Academy opened on the first day. The line has reached 2,600. I heard that the number of screens in France will only be higher.

It's amazing.

The recognition of the film like this certainly makes Lisa happy. On the one hand, the director she likes is becoming more and more successful; on the other hand, it’s as if a popular song she dug suddenly became popular, with an inexplicable pride. Feeling and a feeling of being recognized.

In short, it is pleasant.

The lights went out, and the already quiet theater became quieter, and the curtain of the movie had already begun...

Under the vivid roles of Sergeant and Norman, walk into the story that Lyman has woven.

"That's great." Kurt couldn't help saying when the movie was over.

Lisa glanced at her boyfriend. It was obvious that this movie was to his appetite. After all, the war scenes in it were very real. Which man could refuse the visual stimulation of both sides fighting for their lives under the rain of bullets.

Although she doesn't like this subject matter herself, she also feels that this work is not as exciting as "Three Fools in Bollywood", but after reading it, it is acceptable.

As always, director Lyman is very good at creating characters. She can forget what the story tells, but she will remember Norman.

The act of waiting in the middle of the night just to see his mother when he was a teenager sounded silly, but there was an emotional throbbing.

As for the final sacrifice, Lisa felt nothing.

"Let's go."

"Ok."

The length of "Furious" is obviously shorter. When Kurt and Lisa walked out of the theater, the other side of "007: Die Another Day" has not yet ended.

"Hello, I am an investigator in the film market."

The two of them were stopped by a white middle-aged man as soon as they walked out of the Emirates Rock Theater.

This situation is very common, and Lisa has not encountered it rarely.

"Can I delay you and ask a few questions about viewing the movie?" The middle-aged man nodded when they saw the two of them, and said quickly, "Do you think the movie "Furious" is good?"

"Very good, it's a very good war movie." Kurt is still immersed in the aftertaste of the plot just now, "I must buy a videotape for my film and cherish it."

"I also think it's very good. The comradeship in the film is very touching, and the portrayal of humanity is also in place." Lisa thought for a while and said.

"Then which character or actor are you more impressed with?" the middle-aged white man continued to ask.

"Sergeant. Nicola Cage."

"Norman."

After the two said, they looked at each other.

Men? Naturally, I like to be tougher in character and behavior. Moreover, the cowardly performance of Norman on the battlefield at the beginning, hiding behind a bunker, panic and at a loss, really makes the impression a bit bad, even if he finally grows up For a true "veteran", this transformation may not have created a sergeant who has an outstanding image of a soldier from the beginning.

"Could you please elaborate on the reason for your preference?"

"Nicholas Cage." Kurt said: "I've seen him in many movies, and I really like his appearance and character performance in it. He has a strong aura and has a mature military temperament in every gesture. It couldn't be more appropriate."

But his girlfriend Lisa had a different opinion, "I still prefer Norman."

"Perhaps because of the role setting. From the beginning to the end, the temperament of the sergeant was there, and there were few changes. Instead, it was the recruit Norman, who was timid and immature from the beginning to mature and firm in the back. , And under the actor's interpretation, this change is not abrupt, as if the growth history of such a recruit is extremely real, from the trembling when the first shot was shot to the smoothness in the back. He really experienced too much. Many and too many changes. I like such a character very much."

"Thank you for accepting my interview."

After the middle-aged white man remembered his answers, he handed each of them a questionnaire and a signature pen printed in the style of the tank of the same name in "Furious".

Kurt and Lisa did not hesitate to choose the A+ scoring option on the volume.

Then, the middle-aged white man took back the questionnaire, and the two signature pens were given to them as small gifts to answer the questions.

The two accepted unceremoniously, then turned and left the theater door.

The middle-aged white people are still continuing their survey and statistics work.

Later, someone accepted his award-winning consultations. After all, this is a very common thing. Many viewers who were asked would be happy to share their experience of watching movies.Especially after watching a movie just now, I have the kind of good mood I want to tell. Of course, if I watched a bad movie, it may not be.

Some people will still be willing to complain, but most of them are not in a good mood to share.

Who would be willing to share with others that he just watched a peerless movie, and what mood and scoring would be even worse.

Fortunately, the two newly released films that the middle-aged white man was ordered to investigate today have a good reputation.

"Furious" even if it was released, the twentieth sequel "007: Die Another Day" was mostly well received. Looking at the audience's attitude, there is no aesthetic fatigue at all, but much praise.

It’s not surprising to think about it. The audience who can buy tickets on the first day of the show will definitely be fans of the two films or specific people interested in the subject matter.

If you want to really see the word of mouth, you have to investigate the next week, the middle-aged man thought to himself.

However, if you really want to compare it, "Furious" has the upper hand in the audience's reputation.

Although "007: Die Another Day" has a lot of fans, it also mixed in with passers-by, at least their evaluation is very pertinent.

"Above the pass line, but if you really want to say where the excitement is, it's still almost, but the big scenes are constant, very eye-catching. Of course, 007's as always handsome and beautiful Bond girls are also worth seeing. Other than that , The plot is a bit mentally retarded, and the villain is also a bit stupid, and it’s not well shaped."

"The pace is too fast, I can't remember what was said."

The middle-aged white people gathered up the market data statistics and survey scoring questionnaires collected today, and then they are ready to go back for business.

He even wondered in his heart, whether to watch "Furious" on the day off tomorrow. After listening to the audience's comments, they were all quite high and aroused his curiosity.

Men? I'm always interested in war movies.
