Chapter 105 The hope of the new generation!

On the evening of the 22nd, the long-awaited moment for movie fans finally arrived. The Christmas period has reached its most intense stage. "The Rest of the Desert Island" was released and "Juno" was released... During the holidays, they flocked to the cinema to prepare for a sneak peek.

Although Wang Yang has the nickname of "grabbing money Yang", there is never a lack of such blockbusters during the Christmas season. In addition, "Juno" has a hidden danger of never succeeding in the theme type, so under the tight allocation of theater resources, "Juno" has only 2,712 painting theaters; and Fox's "The Rest of the Desert Island" has 2,774. However, it can also be regarded as covering large and small cities in North America.

Did you choose to watch "The Rest of the Desert Island" or "Juno"? The former has Oscar Best Director Robert Zemegis and Oscar Best Actor Tom Hanks. This is their re-cooperation after "Forrest Gump", which is very attractive; the latter has "The Best Director of the Future" Wang Yang, the genius Natalie Portman, who is one of the best acting skills among the post-80s actresses, and is also very interesting.

Robert & Tom are 92 years old; Young & Natalie are 39 years old, and they are not even as old as Tom Hanks' eldest son Colin Hanks (23 years old).

The age of the main actor will naturally affect the market. Most middle-aged people choose "The Rest of the Desert Island" or other movies; while most young people go to the screening room of "Juno". They love the witty jokes and jokes of that unique girl. It is the latest trend in chat rooms, icq, MSN and other places. They don't want to fall behind, and the magical movies are always very good. There are also many parents who are worried about their children's adverse effects to choose to watch "Juno". If this movie has the magic that can affect teenagers, they have to take precautions.

The premiere of "Juno" was once again arranged in the "Vita Projector" cinema, with the screening room full, including the crew of "Juno" crew, family and friends; media reporters and film critics who were invited were indispensable.

After "When Happiness Comes Knocks", except for film critics like Kevin Thomas who specializes in making a living by acting as a counter-attack, no one dares to say "Shen Qi Yang is just a little baby director". This "little baby" has a global box office of 1.106 billion US dollars, three hot-selling works of different types. Even old guys who have been filming movies for a lifetime cannot get this result, so no one will expect that young director to completely suffer from Waterloo.

In the preparations of the media, if "Juno" is a rare masterpiece, they will naturally tell the truth and the magical journey continues; but if "Juno" is just an ordinary campus comedy and there is no "height" behind it, then sorry, even if it is very funny and has the potential to sell the box office... Everything is good, it is a "magical end". They can finally report it with such regretful titles as "Magic Yang disappoints!" and "He is only 20 years old after all".

A 20-year-old director's new work is disappointing because it is not a "classic"? Film critics will say "yes" to this, that's the price of his name Fanqiyang.

The audience in the screening room, as well as some student fans selected from the promotional activities; and the celebrity guests who came to support the show include Will Smiths, Christopher Nolan, Tom Willing, Rachel, Zachary and other stars. The premiere has ended, and everyone is either chatting softly or watching the big screen, waiting for the beginning of the movie.

Wang Yang, wearing a black suit, sat in the middle of the first row. He looked at Jessica in a light blue evening dress on his right and talked to her, "Jessica, how about we go to watch "The Rest of the Desert Island" tomorrow night?" Jessica nodded and smiled, "Okay, we haven't watched a movie together for a long time, not like this tonight." Wang Yang smiled and said, "Well, there is also a football match. We will continue to watch this year's Christmas game..."

Natalie, wearing a white evening dress on the left, was a little bored. She glanced at the big screen, why didn't she start? She glanced at Wang Yang who was whispering to her girlfriend, and muttered in her heart, "He must have a lot of dopamine in his mind now." Damn dopamine! She patted her head and looked at Michael Pete on the other side. Seeing that he looked at the screen with his eyes in a daze, breathing a little heavy, obviously feeling very nervous, she asked, "Hey, Michael, what are you thinking?"

"Well, I..." Michael came back to his senses and smiled faintly at her, saying, "I remembered some things from the past, not very happy, but I've been moving forward all the time, and now, everything is worth it... I'm really happy now, I did it." Listening to his very organized words, Natalie nodded. She had heard of Michael's story, so she knew what he was talking about, and she smiled and said, "Enjoy it."

"Thank you." Michael smiled, suddenly stretched out his head and shouted, "Hey, Yang, Yang!" Wang Yang turned his head and looked over there, and Michael said sincerely, "Thank you for that hamburger!"

"Man, you're welcome!" Wang Yang gave him a thumbs up with a bright smile. With a snap, he saw Natalie leaning against the back of the chair and slapped his head suddenly, and asked in confusion: "Natalie, are you okay?"

Michael Pete, Jessica, Anne Hathaway, Joshua and others in the back seat were all looking at her. Natalie said "Oh" and looked around everyone, spread her hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm just driving away some useless things, such as sleepy." Everyone smiled and suddenly realized. Joshua laughed in a voice that only he could hear, "Please, there are useless things in it..."

At this time the movie was about to start playing, and the screening room became silent. Vale Fister, Harry George, Nancy Lino and other film crew members, Anne Darren... Will Smith, Nolan and his wife, Rachel, Zachary... Everyone in the screening room looked at the big screen quietly.

The moths on the screen rushed towards the flames, came to the beautiful pastoral world, dancing with butterflies. After the opening animation of the Flame movie, Juno was seen standing on the lawn, staring blankly at an abandoned luxury chair. After she recalled the reason for her pregnancy, she was awakened by the Yorkshire puppy, she walked away with a big bottle of drinks. At this time, lively and cheerful country music sounded, harmonica, guitar, and whistle; the picture became a combination of live and comics. Juno was walking in the town while drinking drinks, streets, roofs and other places. Finally, the film was displayed, "Anne Hathaway, Michael Pete, Natalie Portman, and Wang Yang." After that, Juno walked out of the comics and came to the grocery store in the town.

Rachel, who was sitting in the guest seat area, smiled slightly and applauded lightly. This would definitely be a good movie! He said that he would not let down this beautiful town.

The audiences watching "Juno" in the entire North American region were full of interest, bright and comfortable pictures, relaxed and pleasant music, and interesting lines from Juneau all made the originally serious matter of "girl pregnancy" interesting without any oppression or heaviness.

"Haha! That's me, ha, that's me!" Seeing himself on the screen, Joshua sat upright excitedly and said quickly: "yoyoyo, everyone is ready, the Oscar Best Actor is on the stage! His best work!" In the corridor, Juno squatted down and picked up books all over the floor. A group of tall and mighty school sports team classmates walked by. The character played by Joshua mocked: "Your book fell to the ground, it must have seen your face! Hahaha--"

Wang Yang and Jessica looked at each other and smiled, then heard Joshua behind him breathe, saying, "The first appearance is over, oh yeah! It feels really good to see myself on the screen."

The stories on the screen are constantly ***. Juno is going to have an abortion, and he has given up his mind and decided to be born and look for adoptive parents... Under the wonderful interpretation of Natalie who has completely integrated into the role, combined with the novel tricks, a unique and unique girl appears on the screen, allowing the audience to unconsciously enter the story of the movie and enter the inner world of this pregnant girl. Whether young or middle-aged, they are deeply attracted by the big screen, and they make laughs from time to time.

"I'm a planet now!" Juno said with a little complaining look at his big belly.

A chuckle sounded in the screening room. A young white high school student clenched his fists excitedly and couldn't help but say, "Get!" He was as fat as a planet, even a gravitational field, which would become a new trendy language to describe fat people! He quickly wrote on his notebook with a pen, "Juno said, I'm a planet now..." At this time, on the screen, Juno said again, "My amniotic fluid is broken, can you hurry?" The audience couldn't help laughing again, and a white girl said excitedly: "Get! Haha, I got!"

Seeing the excited look of the teenagers around, a middle-aged couple couldn't help but frown. As expected, as long as it was a magical campus movie, it had the magic to influence young people. "Singing and Dance" made their daughter who was in junior high school go to a dance class. The question now is, what about "Juno"? What is the end of this movie, what will their daughter understand, and what impact will it have?

When the film was halfway through, the story gradually entered the serious part, and the use of slang and funny sentences gradually decreased. The chuckle in the screening room turned into a smile. Everyone watched more and more focused and enthused. The movie successfully reached the stage of "discussing things".

Juno's mentality changes, Poly's mentality changes, and middle-aged adoptive couples... When Juno is in a collision between campus and outside the campus, she thinks about her feelings and she slowly matures. This is a more test of acting skills. Juno needs to change, but this change cannot lose her unique personal charm. Transformation requires distinct acting skills, and maintaining charm requires controlling the soul of the character.

"Brother, I must praise you again." Looking at Juno who was lying on the front of the car in confusion on the big screen, Wang Yang sighed, turned his head to look at Natalie on the left, and smiled, "It was so good to act!" Natalie had a casual expression on her face, and said in a faint tone: "It's not acting, it's me." Wang Yang shouted "Michael" again, and smiled at Michael Pete, who was looking at him with a smile, then shouted "Anne", giving a thumbs up to the smiling Hathaway...

On the screen, Michael, Hathaway and others' acting skills seem even better. Like Natalie, they have no trace of performance at all, only the feeling of "that's him".

"Hey, Yang! Don't forget me, the best actor!" Joshua in the back row reached out and patted Wang Yang on the shoulder. Jessica looked back at him and smiled, "Wow, the best actor with a little more than my guest appearance." Everyone around laughed softly, Joshua shrugged, and gave himself a thumbs up and said, "good!"

Soon, the movie came to the final stage. Juno and Poly both understood what love is, responsibility and dedication is. In the hospital, accompanied by family, good sister Leah and Poly, Juno gave birth to a child. The young couple looked at the baby in Vanessa's arms, and their eyes were filled with gentleness. The scene changed, and when Juno came to Poly's house with a guitar on his back and on his bicycle, he rushed to Poly's house. In the morning sun, the two happily watched the new photos of the baby sent by Vanessa and sat in front of the door and played the guitar. All the 120-minute images were screened.

The ending guitar singing sounded in the cinema No. 1 screening room of the "Vita Projector" cinema, and the detailed cast rolled: "Producer: Wang Yang, Director: Wang Yang. Actor, Juno McGoff: Natalie Portman, Pauli Brick: Michael Pete, Leah: Anne Hathaway... Anne Darren, Joshua Alba... Classmates: Jessica Alba, Rachel McAdams, Tom Willing, Zachary Levi... Videographer: Vale Fister, Photography Assistant: Harry George... Assistant Director: Nancy Lino..."

Papa! The audience stood up with applause, and the young students were still whistling and shouting. Many people shouted in a cheering voice: "Juno, you are so cool!", "I love you, even if you are like the earth!" Wang Yang sat on the chair, listening to the applause around him with a smile, and looking at the names on the screen. Ten years later, will people be surprised to see this cast list like him now?

"Man." Suddenly, the left shoulder was patted. Wang Yang looked at Natalie next to her. She smiled happily and said, "This premiere is the best I have ever attended. I defeated myself at the 13-year-old!" She laughed again and said, "You know, your pants are really cool!" Thinking of the meeting that day, Wang Yang immediately smiled and said, "Brother, it's just a pair of ordinary pants." After that, he smiled and explained to Jessica about the situation that day.

At the guest seat, the invited celebrity guests also gave their applause to Juno. Will Smith clapped his palms and said to Terry "pg-13": "Terry, as Young said, high school pregnancy is a very serious matter, don't try it in the future!" Terry's tender face was full of confusion and asked, "Uncle Yang said it? Why didn't I hear it? And father, can boys get pregnant?"

The location in the middle of the screening room is the area for media reporters and film critics. At this time, they were also applauding, but they were a little distracted by the movie just now. Did Fantasy Yang disappoint? No. That smart and cunning guy, he did not avoid talking about abortion, but did not offend any of the values ​​of either side; Juno's parents were so open-minded, Juno was so interesting and unique that she could solve the problems caused by the girl's pregnancy... Fantasy Yang painted a beautiful world, but was that all? A girl's pregnancy and growth story?

It seems that it is, but it seems that it is not. The distinctive characters, simple plots, and wonderful lines in the movie are all constantly rumbling in their minds. How should the review be written? One thing that is certain is that they cannot use titles such as "Magic Yang is disappointing!" and "He is only 20 years old after all". This is not a bad movie or an ordinary campus comedy. This is a rare masterpiece; if you watch it in its type of subject matter, it can be said that this is an unprecedented masterpiece.

There are similar scenes in cinemas in the United States where "Juno" is being screened.

"Oh my God, I never thought Natalie Portman could look like this, it was great...", "It's so crazy. I thought there would be preaching. I didn't expect it to be so interesting. It's worthy of being magical!", "The music inside is very nice, especially those harmonica music, which came out with the original CD, and I must buy one." Listening to the voices around, a middle-aged white couple nodded silently. It was indeed a good movie. Suddenly, a girl's voice made them alert: "I really want to be pregnant! It's cool like Juno..."

After the premiere, all the crew members of "Juno" and family and friends went to the hotel for a private dinner. In the hall where the dinner was held, people laughed and talked in groups of three or five, or drank red wine and tasted food. Wang Yang and Jessica, Michael Pete, Rachel, Zachary and Eileen Eris were chatting about Christmas arrangements. Zachary invited, "Yang, I'm going to have a dance party. I want to invite everyone, you must come!" Wang Yang looked at Jessica who was smiling, and saw that she had no other intentions to arrange, so he agreed, "Okay, I love dancing."

"Hello, director, Jessica, everyone..." At this time, Anne Darren, wearing a beige evening dress, walked over and greeted each other. Anne took out a poster and a signature pen from her handbag, handed it to Wang Yang, and smiled in a pleading smile: "Sorry, director, can you sign an autograph for me? A friend of mine wants it, she is your movie fan."

Wang Yang nodded happily, took the pen and the poster. This was a poster for "Juno". Natalie with a big belly, Michael, Hathaway and others in school uniforms. He drew an autograph on Natalie's big belly and handed it back to Anne and said with a smile: "Okay!"

Annie smiled and said to Jessica and others: "Can you please sign one?" She smiled helplessly and said, "My friend said that the star's signature is required, and of course she is also your movie fan." Naturally, everyone would not refuse. Jessica signed it, and it was Rachel again... Wang Yang looked at the more and more signatures on the poster, and the star's signature is required? He suddenly wanted to say, "Annie, sign your name too."

"Thank you everyone." After everyone signed the names on the poster, Annie smiled thankfully and said, "I'm going to find other stars, so you can chat." After that, she took the poster and signature pen and walked towards Natalie and Hathaway on the vegetarian table.

Looking at Annie's back as she walked farther and farther away, Wang Yang said secretly, Annie, you will definitely be a star in ten years! At that time, many people will say in surprise, "So she has a role in "Juno"!"

"Okay, no problem." Natalie took Annie's poster and pen, and saw the signature distribution on the poster. She couldn't help but look at Wang Yang. She saw that he was chatting with Jessica and friends. She chewed the corn kernels in her mouth and signed them on my belly, right? She held the pen and wrote "Natalie Portman" on the poster's "Director: Wang Yang". Then, she smiled and wrote "lol!" next to her.

Online movie fans are about "Zhu Piao Astronomy Station" and "Zhu Piao Astronomy Network".

With this growth rate and score, it will soon enter the top250 in the film history. The scoring formula of top250 must be more rigorous and strict. Only the "regular ***" will be calculated. As for what is "regular ***", Imdb is not clearly defined. It is probably because of the long registration time, votes for at least one thousand movies, and senior movie fans with good records and serious attitudes. They determine the top250 score of the movie. This has prevented the company, fans from swiping votes, and some random votes, which is also the reason why this list is authoritative.

Therefore, the top250 score is often lower than the main page score, just like when Happiness Comes Knocks on the door, the current main page score is 8.3, while the top250 score is 8.1, which is almost ranked in the same score range of 150-200.

A drama film with sensitive themes such as "girl pregnancy" involves abortion, and the main page score is stable at 8.4, which is definitely a surprising number. You should know that the score of "Sweetheart" is only 6.0. If there is a competition between these two movies, fans have already handed over their own answers first. "Juno" completely beats "Sweetheart" in all aspects, including director, starring, story, soundtrack, etc., and has an undisputed victory.

On the 23rd, the entertainment newspapers and movie newspapers gave headlines to the two most popular movies, "The Rest of the Desert Island" or "Juno", and the pages of film reviews also occupy half of the land.

Long before the release, with the trailer and lineup, the imdb score of "The Rest of the Desert Island" was 8.8. With the release, its rating slipped to 8.6, but this is just a normal phenomenon. This scheduled classic movie has become a classic without any suspense, and it has received rave reviews from both fans and media fans. The New York Post said: "This is a box office bomb with the soul of an art film. Robert Zemegis has dedicated the best Christmas gift to us." The Chicago Sun praised Tom Hanks' acting skills: "He is the only one who performs alone in the film, but you have no sense of boredom. His acting skills are amazing."

The headline of the entertainment edition of the Los Angeles Times gave Juno: "Yan & Natalie, the hope of the new generation!" At the beginning of the film review, they wrote: "Before "Juno", we had a little doubt, whether Yang could shoot this type of movie, whether Natalie Portman, the good girl, is suitable to play Juno, who is said to be very 'rock', has answers after watching this movie, and they defeated the doubts. Young & Natalie, the 39-year-old group, once again gave us a big surprise. They are the leading figures among directors and actresses born in the 1980s, and the hope of the new generation."

In the following detailed film review report, Wang Yang and Natalie were accompanied by pictures of walking on the streets of the town. They analyzed the film and wrote: "The warm and soft picture shots are like a bright sunshine. This is the film style of magical Yang always; the relaxed and natural rural soundtrack, the ingenious prop design... There are also lines and dialogues that make people have to admire, the new ways of using slang and sentences in the film, which always makes people smile knowingly. There are also Juno's interesting family and interesting classmates, which make you cheer for them. Such a story can be taken seriously and bizarrely, but magical Yang finds the right style and finds the right way to tell such stories, which is unique and warm."

"This movie can make people smile from the beginning to the end, but it doesn't mean it has no deep stuff. Its story is not complicated. What we see is a unique girl, Juno, who goes through the whole pregnancy and sees her heart change, from 'I don't know what kind of girl I am,' to 'I actually become a mother'. On the one hand, the movie says 'pregnancy is a beautiful thing, it makes people understand what love is.' But on the other hand, it says 'The teenage pregnancy is a very serious and difficult thing. If you want to try, do you feel ready?' In the movie, Juno's pregnancy is handled and faced by her and her family in a cool way, but it itself is very serious and important."

After talking about the movie itself, the Los Angeles Times wrote in a bit of joke: "Is this really a suspicion that Shen Qiyang has ever had a pregnancy?"

In the evaluation of the starring actors, they wrote: "Ordinary praise is no longer enough to describe Natalie Portman's performance. This is completely different from her previous screen image. She swears casually and raises her middle finger. She stands there, with a look, an action, and a sentence, all interprets a unique girl to the fullest. And during pregnancy, she walks with a big belly, like a real pregnant woman. In this movie, her acting talent is fully displayed. With Juno, she is enough to compete for the Oscar for the best actress next year. This makes people unable to give a thumbs up to magical eyes and directorial level. After Will Smith, he successfully transformed Natalie Portman."

The Los Angeles Times praised Natalie's acting skills without hesitation, and also praised Michael Pete and Anne Hathaway's performance: "It's hard to imagine that this is their first time starring in a movie. They have no sense of youthfulness in the performance. In front of Natalie's dazzling Juno, they did not lose their lust. On the contrary, they had a big collision with her acting skills, which made people amazed, 'Where did Fantastic Young find so many acting geniuses'? 19-year-old Michael Pete and 18-year-old Anne Hathaway, we can expect more."

"If you want to see a warm and interesting story, if you want to see a cool girl going from willful and casual to mature, if you want to see a talented show, a talented director, then it's time to see Juno." Finally, the Los Angeles Times wrote.

Of course, there are more than one or two newspapers commenting on "Juno". The Hollywood Reporter said, "The actor's performance is eye-catching, and there are novel dialogues and innovative content." The film review of "Exchange Movie" said: "Everyone has a set of right and wrong judgment criteria, and this movie takes care of everyone. It's really commendable." The San Francisco Chronicle once again seemed very happy. San Francisco people proudly wrote: "We believe that Wang Yang will be the best director for the Oscar nomination list next year!"

Gossip media also have gossip media attention and pursuit goals, such as "the grudge between "Juno" and "Sweetheart"". The Hollywood Today report wrote: "Natalie Portman made a very smart choice. Both on and off the campus of "Juno" are impressive; Juno, who is sharp-tongued and full of bandits, is also fascinating than the kind and ordinary Novalli. There is no doubt that "Juno" is the best girl pregnancy movie."

In addition, there is also the media's hotly hyped Christmas showdown, young people vs old guys, "Juno" vs "The Rest of the Desert Island".

On the afternoon of the 23rd, the box office data on the 22nd was freshly released. The top spot was "92-year-old" "The Rest of the Desert Island", 2,774 theaters, and 11.755 million US dollars in box office; while "Juno" of 2,712 theaters followed closely with a box office of 11.038 million! The average box office of "The Rest of the Desert Island" was 23,500 yuan per theater, and "Juno" was 24,500 yuan. In the first round, "Juno" lost the total box office and won the average box office.
Chapter completed!
