Hollywood legendary director

May 22, a very ordinary day.

But for some movie fans or fan audiences, it is a long-awaited day.

Because today is the national release of the movie "Bad Guy".

After the excellent market performance endorsements of "Three Fools in Bollywood" and "Furious", director Lehman's trust has been shown, not to mention the joining of first-line movie stars such as Tom Cruise and Nicholas Cage , So this movie also received the attention of theaters at the beginning of its release.

The number of screens in 2,886 theaters on the first day of the release was the answer they gave, and both the ratio of film placement and prime time releases were very good, and it felt like a lot of attention.

From the publicity to the momentum created by the Cannes screening, this movie has left many people with an impression thanks to the popularity of several leading actors and excellent film critics.

Of course, the media also attaches great importance to it, and they are also prepared with both hands. After the results of "Bad Guy" are released, they will decide whether to play or black. Anyway, whether it is really a good word of mouth or a bad piece of false hype, they will all It is invincible and there are materials to report.

If it is a bad film, it may attract more attention, and they can fully criticize and laugh at it.

This is probably the case in reality, and media professionals are among the best.

When night fell, Daun, who had been busy for most of the day, took his girlfriend Mai Rui to a movie theater near the university, and took a place at the end of the long queue of ticketing halls, ready to buy two Movie tickets for "Bad Guy".

The movie schedule for this movie in the theater is from 7:30 to 9:30, and from 10 to 12:00.

Looking at the long line, Dawn sighed-today is only Thursday, it is a working day, ordinary students or people who are too busy with work the next day rarely go to the movies, but that's it. It's really long.

"I hope this movie is as good as it is said on the Internet." My girlfriend Mai Rui murmured, "Up to now, neither Rotten Tomatoes nor IMDB have related film reviews and ratings, and I don't know what the situation is."

"The release has just begun." Dawn explained: "And many film forums have said that the film has a good reputation at Cannes, not to mention Nicolas Cage in it."

Well, he is a fan of Cage.

Those who can enter the theater on the first day to support are usually fan audiences, but it is normal.

On the other side, somewhere in a theater in Chicago, Bella was wearing a thin gown, looking at the promotional poster in the bulletin board, staring at the line "Director: Lyman-Rates" for a long time, and then moved. He opened his eyes and walked towards the ticket window.

She has always paid great attention to his films.

Naturally, I hope to see it as the first step in this release.

"A movie ticket for "Bad Guy", thank you." After a dozen people lined up, it was Bella's turn.

The white conductor took the ticket. After Bella paid the $6.50, he took the ticket and turned to the theater.

After entering, Bella looked for her position while looking around to pay attention to the situation.

The area of ​​the theater is not large, it can accommodate about 600 people, except for the back row of seats, which is almost full.

It seems that this movie is indeed very popular, Bella secretly happy, find her seat and sit down.

Before the movie started, there was a hum of conversation in the theater.

"Do you think Tom Cruise's performance is really that good?"

"Nicholas Cage was acting, and it immediately made me look forward to the film."

"Is this actor named Heath Ledger playing Norman? It seems like looking at the poster."

"Why haven't the movie started yet."

"You help me get popcorn and drinks, and I will go to the toilet."

There was a lot of noise all around, and it quieted down slowly.

The lights went out and the screen slowly lit up.

"What will it bring me again this time?" Bella adjusted her sitting posture and muttered to herself.

Even though she admires director Lehman's ability to direct, as a film critic, she must be fair.

Well, try to be fair and objective.

After watching "Three Fools Raise Bollywood", she felt that she could not say anything bad about his movie.

Her principle has been shaken a long time ago, witnessing his step-by-step growth, and there is an inexplicable sense of expectation.

But a movie is a movie. If the story of the movie itself is boring or unpleasant, Bella will not deliberately flatter it. It will just turn over it plainly. Perhaps in the future, he will not pay much attention to Lyman's development path. .

After the opening animation of the movie and the logo show, the screen went black at first and then quickly lit up.

A gloomy face appeared on the screen, and Heath Ledger's second master had good eyebrows and vigor. The next scene also told the audience how cruel and cruel the community is to those who hinder their path.

There was a soft surprise in the cinema, and it was clear that the way a living person was put into a big iron bucket and sank to the bottom of the sea was chilling.

But Bella’s focus is not this. She looks at Heath Ledger-because she has seen several films directed by Lehman. For this actor, the impression is quite deep, and now she has changed. The image and temperament playing the club boss, there is no sense of disobedience.

"That resolute and taciturn recruit Norman can't see any shadow at all. It's really amazing." Bella thought with emotion.

Before the audience recovered from their surprise, the scene had been switched from Heath Ledger.

Along with the sound of the majestic rain, a talk by the police department introduced the background of the film. The underground forces in Los Angeles have been unified by the "Golden Gate Party" and become the biggest hidden danger in the city.

Subsequently, the scene of a car accident on a rainy night, the director planted a foreshadowing, that is, who will be in the other car.

Such bright and suggestive scenes naturally caught the audience's attention.

It wasn't until the undercover corner played by Tom Cruise appeared that a little clues came together.

Bella has been completely mobilized, watching the plot slowly unfold, and writing down some movie-watching feelings on the notebook that she carries with her from time to time.

Under the battle between the two forces, the change of positions, character analysis and conflicts of various characters are all her concerns.

And here, the undercover role played by Tom Cruise is definitely the most different, and even his final rebellion has an extenuating meaning, which is undoubtedly a confirmation of the director's exceptional skill in characterizing.
