Chapter 269 The sound of the horn is approaching

"Heath Ledger joins "Firefly" and will play the number one villain "Blue Gloves".

It took a few days, from the news of Fantasy Young & Brad Pitt to the breaking of cooperation hopes, to the determination of Fantasy Young & Heath Ledger, everything was so fast. The news of the actor's franchise was not shocked, but it really made the movie fans and netizens who were paying attention to movie entertainment and "Firefly" active. This should be considered a strong alliance? Brad Pitt's die-hard fans, a large number of neutral movie fans, disagree.

No matter what fame and acting skills are good, Heath Ledger is obviously much worse than Pitt! Everyone knows that after being rejected, Shenqi Yang will retreat, but it doesn’t need to be so, right? From a top superstar to one of the new generation’s main idols, although Heath Ledger is a powerful actor, it also disappoints some Shenqi Yang fans. He thought he would call Will Smith and Nicholas Cage of the same level to scare Brad Pitt to death. Who knows...

In Yahoo News' comments, Fleming D wrote sarcastically: "This is the person Fantastic Young is looking for! Now it seems that Heath Ledger can play, and Blue Gloves are not that important at all. Brad has no reason not to refuse such a supporting role. Since Brokeback Mountain, Young has taken a fancy to Heath. Maybe he has already determined the candidate for Blue Gloves, otherwise how could it be so soon? Maybe Brad has become the target of "Firefly". "Dommerk wrote: "Pitt made the right decision, and Wang Yang's insincere plot is annoying!!"...

Of course Heath Ledger is not an unknown person. The production budget of "Four Feathers" and "The Grimm Brothers" (still scheduled to be released) are as high as 80 million; it's just that it's just that it's just a slutty match with Brad Pid.

But the sunny and handsome Heath also has many fans. Young and Heath excited them. Lina excitedly wrote: "Looking forward to Heath's performance under Young's magic! They are all so talented handsome guys, so charming!" Andrew T wrote: "I have always thought about Heath's appearance in the magical Yang movie. He knows how to direct talented actors of the same age. Look at Natalie Portman! Heath may also get an Oscar nomination this time."...

"This is an imaginative collaboration." Heath Ledger's agent Steve King used "imagination" and "creativeness" to describe Wang Yang and Heath Ledger, a 23-year-old magical director, a rising 24-year-old acting star, a science fiction blockbuster with a budget of up to 200 million yuan. The combination of the three does have a dreamy feeling. Steve King told the media: "They have a very pleasant audition that they met too late, and they immediately identified each other, which is why we quickly finalized it."

According to Steve, Heath Ledger's work plan next year is to perform "Brokeback Mountain" first and then star in "Firefly". Due to limited schedule and energy, he will no longer accept other film contracts next year. Steve said: "I believe Heath will perform well on the screen in the next two years."

However, entertainment media have different opinions on whether Heath Ledger is a performing genius. Heath is undoubtedly full of talent and potential, but in recent years, it has been getting worse every year. Falling "genius" has never been uncommon. There are various reasons, self-deprecating degeneration, loss of spiritual energy, and willing to be mediocre and stable... Robert Downey Jr., who is addicted to drugs, Mickey Locke, who runs to box, and Kevin Costner, who won the Golden May Award after the Oscar for Best Director, are the spokespersons.

Some media on the Internet called it "a genius shock worth looking forward to", believing that Heath Ledger is expected to usher in a breakthrough in his acting career under the men of two Chinese directors; some media also sarcastically and doubtfully, as always, they are not optimistic about Brokeback Mountain, and have reservations about "Firefly", but it is obvious that "Blue Gloves' 'B Plan' is not as anticipated and reassuring as Brad Pitt."

The parties involved, Heath Ledger and Wang Yang, did not say anything about this matter. However, the news of the "Firefly" celebrating Heath Ledger's joining the crew was released on the official website of "Firefly", and a new concept picture of the character was thawed from "?" to "blue gloves". The concept picture was from an angle of looking upward. A tall man wearing a black coat and leather shoes stood tall, his face was so sunlight that he couldn't see clearly, and he pulled the blue gloves on his hand.

When Robert Downey Jr. announced his joining, the official website also unraveled a concept picture of "Captain Mar" and did not reveal the photos of independent soldiers in the cowboy style.

There are still a lot of question marks in the character column. The new film "Firefly" is not like "Spider-Man" and "Batman", which has a long history of comics and many adapted movies, and the characters are basically familiar with them. "Firefly" needs to build these settings and cannot reveal the story plot, so its comic version will be released after the movie is released, so the settings of the characters and background are thrown out bit by bit within more than a year.

Only in this way will we be impressed and maintain the continued attention of media fans to the film. The news of the actors joining one after another is a promotional trick used by many movies, Robert Downey Jr., Heath Ledger, next... This is also the strategy of "Firefly".

Due to the max% determination, Wang Yang did not announce that Jessica would join in the role of "Reva", so there is no need to worry anyway. But the promotion of "Firefly" is also time to require the appearance of actresses, and fans of the movie have been looking forward to it, so his next role to be the repairman of the Quiet spacecraft, often complaining about the captain, telling cold jokes, and the innocent and lively girl Kelly Fry, and he already has a happy candidate.

"What!? You said magical Yang? That magical Yang? That magical Yang? Young-wang? He invited me to audition? Oh! Oh!... What if he doesn't matter, agree!"

At the same time, as time enters late November, the atmosphere of Thanksgiving is gradually becoming stronger, and a new round of fierce competition will begin on the theater screen.

"The Demon Wearing Prada" has already passed the MPAA review and has received a PG rating without surprise. Flame Movie has once again not arranged a film critic's trial and audience preview, but the public has long been accustomed to the magical mystery. He and Flame are also fully qualified to be so confident. Although there is no trial, there are 30-second TV trailers, preview trailers, official trailers, and international trailers, and they are naturally available, and they have been on their respective screens, screens, and network locations.

Looking at the beautiful clothes in the trailer, all kinds of luxury goods that cannot be named, the ever-changing beautiful looks of Streep, Jessica and others reveal the life in the fashion world... Countless female audiences felt that there was a "devil" jumping in their hearts, and they gradually became crazy, and if it were magical Yang! How could this movie not be watched? The eyes of the male audience were also full of red hearts. Although the most beautiful heroine must not even have a kiss scene, there was also that Emily, many model beauties, Meryl Streep still charms. The problem is that the heroine is so beautiful... How can I not watch this movie?

"In order to watch the trailer for "tdwp", I went to watch a "Dance My Life", a pretty good song and dance film that suited my expectations; the dance was really good! Channing Tatum is very handsome!" Alice said on her blog.

The subsequent follow-up of "Dance from My Life" in the sixth week was weak, with only more than 300 theaters left to be screened, and the journey has basically ended. Its current box office in North America has reached 80.13 million, while the overseas market will be released in the first season next year; "Saw" in the fourth week is also coming to an end. It only maintained the championship for a week and gave up its seat to "The Matrix 3", followed by "The Battle of the Sea of ​​Anger". "Saw" currently has 1,105 theaters, with a box office of 73.5 million in North America, and will also be available on the overseas big screen next year.

Starting on Friday on November 21, the Thanksgiving schedule has begun. Global and DreamWorks jointly invested 109 million yuan in live-action cartoon "Cat in the Hat", starring Halle Berry, the horror film "Ghost Man"; by the 28th, 90 million yuan in cost of "Ghost House", "Bad Christmas", and "Timeline"; on December 5, the 140 million yuan in cost of epic masterpiece, and the Oscar-striking work "The Last Samurai" starring Tom Cruise debuted.

On December 12th, this year's Christmas schedule will begin, and the last big drama will be released at the end of the year.

The first thing to rush to the forefront is "The Devil Wearing Prada". It is not only released in North America and overseas countries, but also competes for the nominations for various awards of the 61st Golden Globe Awards for music/comedy films, together with Wang Yang's other film "mit-21-team", this year. The announcement of the list of nominations for the Golden Globe Awards this year is: Sunday, December 18th.

The films that dare to enter the first week of Christmas are naturally of great origin. In addition to "TDWP", Nancy Meyers, the new work "Love is a Compromise" by female director Nancy Meyers, who directed "Born of a Couple" and "100% Men", was released on the 12th. This romantic comedy with Keanu Levitra, Francis McDormond, and Jack Nicholson should not be underestimated. It is considered one of the most powerful contenders for the first week of Christmas box office champion.

"Three years ago, because of "Sweetheart", the producer of "Juno" and "100% Men" Matt Williams had a dispute, which also made Wang Yang and Nancy Meyers have a side-to-side encounter, and Juno won. It seems that they can finally have a head-to-head encounter this year. Fantastic Young has Meryl Streep, Nancy Meyers has McDormond, and Nicholson. Who will win the box office championship? Or "The Lord of the Rings 3" which premiered for two days? These are all interesting elements of this year's Christmas schedule." - Variety Show Magazine.

As for the comedy "Personal Brothers" directed by the Ferrari Brothers, the romantic comedy "Love is Priceless" has been excluded, and no one believes that they have a chance of being upset.

"The Lord of the Rings 3" was released on the 17th; "The Smile of Mona Lisa" debuted on the 19th Friday. This 1950s drama and "TDWP" are both called "women's drama". Julia Roberts, Krstin Dunst, and Julia Stills all appeared on the screen. Although the two "Three Women and One Drama" films are different in genres, they have been talked about by some media.

In terms of the market appeal and popularity of the cast, although Meryl Streep is a regular Oscar, he loses to Julia Roberts; Jessica Alba and Kristin Dunst are tied; the silent Emily Blunt completely loses to the "evil girl" Julia Steels.

On the 26th, the last week of 2003, all films that will hit the 76th Oscar next year will be released. The comedy "A Basket of Children" starring Steve Martin is not, the "Crack of Children" directed by John Woo is not, the "Crack of Memory" is not, and the "Peter Pan" is not; the "Cold Mountain" starring Jude Law, Nicole Kidman and others is not; why are there so few films to go to the Olympics?
