1012: I am your fan
I just woke up early in the morning and was still a little sleepy.
Li Donglai was woken up by a phone call, rubbed his eyes and answered the phone. It was a video call, and he happened to see Emma holding her daughter Elsa and shaking her coaxing her. He suddenly lost his sleepiness, rubbed his eyes hard, and smiled at the other end of the video, "Hi, my baby, good morning."
"It's night, I'm about to go to bed and call you." Emma corrected.
"Haha, I remember the jet lag wrongly, it's early morning here." Li Donglai rubbed his face a few times, "Let Elsa look at me, she can't see me."
"Of course I can't see it. The child is too young and has no ability to distinguish."
"No, she can tell, let her watch the video." Li Donglai argued. Then Emma pulled the camera closer, and Elsa suddenly stretched out her white and tender little hand to hug her. Li Donglai suddenly opened her mouth, "How is it, I said yes. Oh, my little baby, do you miss your father?"
Emma kept complaining, "Why is the child so energetic? He just cried for more than an hour and stopped sleeping when he was sleeping." Li Donglai suddenly felt distressed, "Isn't the nanny here? There must be a reason for the child to cry. How can he cry for an hour?"
"Okay, okay. I'm going to learn to take care of the children, but I can't neglect Elsa, right?" Emma said angrily: "When will you come back? It's so boring."
"I can't go back for the time being. You can go directly to London, or you might as well come to China, and I'll wait for you here."
In the camera, Elsa stretched out her hand for a long time but didn't see her father hugging her, and her mouth suddenly collapsed. "Wow—"
"I told you to ignore me and I will cry to show you."
The two of them were panicked and the professional nurse he invited came soon. Seeing Emma busy coaxing the baby to help, she quickly breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the nurse skillfully used the bottle of freshly charged to coax the girl with a moderate temperature, and after smelling the scent of milk, the little girl really opened her mouth and drank a big gulp, stop crying.
Li Donglai smiled and said, "This girl must be a fat girl in the future. She always thinks about eating and goes to bed after eating."
After that, she chatted with Yoona for a while before hanging up the phone. The little girl missed her so much that after Li Dong returned to China, she became even more lonely in the United States. Fortunately, she was accompanied by her sister. Otherwise, she would not even have someone to talk and would have to fight Emma.
Li Donglai couldn't do it either, so he just waited for the Olympics to make up for them.
In the past few days, Li Donglai has left the crew and has begun to make final preparations for the competition. The movie world is still surging and endless.
Due to the tragedy of the Colorado cinema shooting, the premiere box office figures of "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" were postponed to express condolences to the victims. The box office data from July 20 to July 22 was released in the early morning of the 24th. "The Dark Knight Rises" reached the championship with a $161 million opening record. Negatively affected by the shooting, the total box office revenue that week was inferior to the 2008 release week of "The Dark Knight" but the single-week score of $224 million is still ranked seventh in film history.
As a seed player who has the strength to compete for the annual box office championship with "Avengers", Warner Bros. has launched a super-large release scale for "Dark Knights". This release scale ranks third in the largest release scale in film history, second to 4,468 in "Lumber Eclipse" and 4,455 in "Harry Potter 6". Coincidentally, these two movies are starring Li Donglai and Emma Watson, and are also nicknamed by the media as Li Donglai's blocking battle against Lorraine.
Even though the haze of the shooting does not dissipate. This movie tells the story of Batman sacrificing himself to inspire the public's sense of justice after prosecutor Harvey died. He himself disappeared in the dark for eight years. Unexpectedly, with the arrival of Catwoman and Bain, Gotham City is destined to face a new round of bloody storms. "Batman: The Rise of the Dark Knight", which still won an excellent box office of US$161 million on three days of the weekend with a single-player score of US$36,532.
The comprehensive review scored 78 points, with 86% freshness in rotten tomatoes. 209 people threw fresh tomatoes and 33 people smashed rotten tomatoes; The St. Louis Post, , Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, New York Times, Times, Imperial Magazine, Complete Movie Magazine, Hollywood Reporter and other media issued full-scoring reviews, and Nolan put the perfect end to the Batman Legend trilogy!
Although the negative impact of the shooting is not to hurt the bones, it cannot be underestimated.
According to the statistics of relevant departments, based on the cancellation records of online and telephone reservations, nearly 12% of viewers canceled the original movie viewing plan for the weekend. This directly caused "The Dark Knight Rises" to drop from the 200 million level that could have been pk "Avengers" to directly drop to the 160 million level of "Harry Potter Finale" (Part 2), slightly better than "The Hunger Games" this spring.
But from another perspective, this part of the passenger flow did not disappear. As the "Dark Knight" continues to be released, this profit will sooner or later be recycled, so the endurance of subsequent box offices is also guaranteed. Even though it is difficult to hit the "mythical" box office line of 600 million US dollars, it still has the strong strength to join a 5-star club.
The ending of Christopher Nolan's trilogy is a double feast of vision and mind. If you think this film is not as memorable as the previous work, it is just because Nolan cannot clone another Heath Ledger.
It will take August to be released in China.
When Li Donglai saw this movie, he was already halfway through the Olympics.
He took time to watch a movie during the London Olympics, and after watching it, he felt ashamed.
It is indeed an extraordinary superhero film. From any angle or standard, it is a master-level level. It has huge ambitions and epic spirit. Faced with this "modern version of Greek myth", "Avengers" is like a child's game. Whether it is emotional expression or storytelling, it has reached a full and exciting level!
Nowadays, when people mention the remake of the comic hero trilogy, most people will think of "Incredible Spider-Man".
But no one knows that the Nolan version of the "Batman Trilogy" is the real initiator.
Although "Batman: The Legend of the Movie" was released in 2005, it was actually a new development of the series. With the release of "The Night Knight" three years later, Nolan was unstoppable to "draw a line" with the old version of Batman.
The old version of Batman in the 1990s has a strong comic plot, weird character shapes, flat scene composition, and the picture art effect that is infinitely close to the comics, all forming the unique independent style of the old version of Batman. What's even more weird is that from "ancient" to the present, the anti-role characters in "Batman" have always been more outstanding than the protagonists!
Jack Nicholson in "Batman 1" in 1989, "Catwoman" Michelle Pfeiffer and "Penguin Man" Danny DeVito in "Batman Return" in 1992, Kim Carrey in "Batman Forever" in 1995, "Frozen Man" Arnold Schwarzenegger and "Poison Ivy" Uma Thurman in 1997, and Liam Neeson, Heath Ledger and Tom Hardy in the Nolan version of Batman, one by one, one by one, invisibly weakens the protagonist's "halo" presence. It can be seen that Batman is indeed much more tragic than those Iron Man, Superman, Spider-Man, and Thor who beat the girl while pounding people.
And the charm of the Nolan version of Batman lies in this word of sadness!
Some people say that tragedy sublimates love. In fact, tragedy can sublimate everything.
Just as "2012" inspired people's desire to destroy people in their blood, tragedy can always resonate with most people. Therefore, "Lord of the Rings: Return of the King", which should have been very happy, ended with sadness like an elegy; and "The Soul-Gathering Coffin" sold in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series is precisely because the big octopus swallowed our Captain Jack in one bite.
Looking at Nolan's Batman trilogy, the first one in 2005 was burned, the second one in 2008 was smashed with a bat light, and the third one in this year's Batman protected the city of Gotham, which has been around for the rest of his life, was almost demolished!
Nolan drew a line from the old version of "Crazy Comedy" style from the beginning, trying to think about the righteousness through Batman's "sadness".
If "The Legend of the Gods" is Bruce's thinking and awakening of his own pursuit and positioning, then "The Dark Night Knight" rises from the individual level to the choice and sacrifice of protecting the justice of the group. When the "Dark Knight" arrives, it is already a struggle for self-sacrifice after the collapse of the legal and moral system. Batman sacrifices his life, love, career, family background and even everything he has in the dark shadow. Just to protect the fragile justice that sometimes requires lies to maintain.
It was Nolan who used such inexplicable tragedy and sorrow to create his black bat, which also gave Batman a powerful strength to fight against the "Marvel" stars. Perhaps under the Hollywood operating system, Batman's fourth and fifth will continue to appear, but no one can copy Nolan's ink-colored ocean!
Perhaps the big directors have a special liking for such an ending, and even the unexposed ending of Li Donglai's "Iron Man 3" cannot escape the word "sad".
All the steel suits were destroyed, Tony Stark, with a tense face on his face. The sunset was setting, and he found the intelligent mechanical arm from the ruins alone, and then dragged it away with a trailer... Is there any more tragic ending than this? He was ashamed of it.
Afterwards, Li Donglai took the initiative to comment on this movie on his Twitter:
"No matter which aspect, this film puts a perfect end to this epic series. Nolan unexpectedly ended his Batman trilogy with an epic sentiment. His perspective, stunts and emotional appeals flowing in the plot all make the film profound and exciting. He obviously understands the hierarchical theory of getting better and better. With the premise of adding many new characters, he strongly dispatches the resources and pace of the entire film, and pushes the plot step by step to an unparalleled **."
"For a series of movies, the finale has never been an easy job, and especially when the previous work is so excellent. It must meet the requirements of all fans and reach epic and spectacular heights. Although it is difficult, Nolan has done it... I am your fan, please sign the next time I meet."
Given his high popularity, Warner frequently uses Li Donglai's high evaluation as a promotional selling point. It actually achieved good results in Asia. Many people heard that Li Donglai gave such high evaluations and took the initiative to go to the cinema to watch. Many movie fans in many regions are very popular.
Christopher Loran rarely goes on Twitter. He also learned about Li Donglai's comments through his friends that day. He replied with a rare teasing, "I can sign ten for you, and I can't get them to give them to you. I am also looking forward to the ending part of your "Iron Man 3" and the space film "Gravity".
Luo Lan was so powerful. Li Donglai just promoted a movie for him, and he immediately gave two movies back, which made Li Donglai feel embarrassed.
Li Donglai and Christopher Loran have been widely evaluated by Hollywood media over the years. They are the most popular young business directors at present. Perhaps Li Donglai is a little more popular, but the classics of "Batman: The Dark Knight" will always remain in the minds of fans.
Fans and media reporters are very helpful to the dialogue between the two big directors. In their eyes, these two wise young directors recognize each other as their opponents.
There is no jealousy, no blushing, and no cursing. Just like two modest gentlemen, both excellent each other, they are outstanding in the same field, and they are even in a state of competition, but they will only use objective evaluations to appreciate each other's works and then express their appreciation.
Chapter completed!
