The Best Director

On the big screen, Natalie, with a chair bag on her back and a big belly, walked in the school corridor strangely, and the students on both sides stepped aside one after another. Joshua leaned against the cabinet with his arms folded, and said mockingly: " Hey, old Mrs. McGough "Good morning! ", Natalie walked quickly without paying attention to anyone, she suddenly covered her stomach in pain, with a distressed face, and said in a voice-over: "Now I understand what genetic genes are, the baby in my belly It won't let me go if I don't run ten miles a day. (Reading the novel) But I am a little worried about Mark and Vanessa, if this is a girl, after a few years, they will be grandparents..."

"Ha Leng ha..." There was a burst of laughter in the almost full auditorium, and the blonde girl Claire also laughed haha, and said to the good sisters next to her; "Juno is so funny, I really want to get pregnant like her ..." The hair-squeezing girl on the left, Jenny, nodded, her young face was also full of smiles, and she said, "Me too, it's really cool to be like Juno, she's old, and I'm old, why? I can not……"

This is the second time for their small group to watch this movie. The first time was the premiere of Knife. Although it has only been a few days since the current Knife, they still have to find it very interesting and interesting. , They like Natalie and Portman, they like Magic Young, and they like Juno on the screen even more. Juno, the independent girl, has become their new idol.

"Yeah, why can't we? We can also be that kind of girl..." Claire said to herself, she suddenly raised her eyebrows, turned to look at the sisters, and smiled excitedly: "Guys, I came up with a cool idea..." Janet, Hetty, and Alison all asked curiously: "What..." Claire moved to Janet's ear on the left and said a few words to Janet on the right. Hetty and Alison murmured softly, and said with a smile, "How is it?""

Janet frowned in surprise, but her eyes became excited. She laughed and imitated Juno's tone and said, "Dude, you're such a nasty bitch..." She and Claire Laughing and high-five.

Hetty over there was also very interested, she suggested with a smile: "We have to call more people, that will be interesting..." Claire nodded and smiled: "Yes, think about who we can let join, Lydia, Madeleine, Monica...",..."

Seeing the three of them very excited*." Ai Jiansen hesitated to speak, she thought for a while, and interrupted them in a low voice: "But, I think what Miracle Yang wants to tell us is, don't let teenage pregnancy, This is no joke..."

The three of them stopped, and Janet glanced at her, frowning and said: "When did Miracle Yang say that? He was just against abortion. He wanted to say that as long as teenage pregnancy is positively faced, everything will be fine and cool... …" Hetty nodded, and said, "Pregnancy is a wonderful process of discovering love. It's written in the newspaper!"

Claire waved her hands a little impatiently, and said, "I don't care what Miracle Yang wants to say! I'm starting to hate him a little bit, he should be with Natalie,

That's the only way to be worthy; not Jessica..." As she spoke, she pressed her voice and urged: "Sisters, I can't wait! Think about it, we will call dozens of people, and then we will all become planets, Then we will become the focus of the school, and they will be surprised and envious of us! We will also get a cute little baby, love our little baby..."

"Well, I agree..." Janet nodded, and Hetty over there also nodded and smiled: "After finishing "Juno", let's go back and plan..."

Alison was still frowning slightly, feeling something was wrong in his heart, secretly conceiving a group without telling his parents? Going through pregnancy and raising a baby together? Seems kind of cool, but it seems... are they going to be a national hit? Without waiting for her to think about it, there was another burst of cold laughter in the auditorium, and Claire said excitedly: "It's exciting, Juno is dancing the maternity dance at the party, my favorite part..."

This is just a situation in North American Knife House theaters, but almost the same situation is that the attendance rate of Knife House theaters is very high; and the screening hall of "The Rest of the Deserted Island" in the movie theater is also overcrowded.

In the fifth round of this Christmas war, "The Rest of a Deserted Island" was accepted at the Daojia Cinema, with a box office of 10,000 US dollars and a total box office of 50,000, regaining the daily box office champion; "Juno" Received,, main blade million box office, total box office, old million. The gap between the two has reached over 10,000. Naturally, this number is not a big number, but it is like a cliff that cannot be crossed, lying in the middle of them.

Fans of "Juno" felt a little disappointed. The momentum that the young people had just climbed up was beaten down by the old guys. There are only two days left. Can the situation be reversed again? Fox and Flame Electric Nose are also making their final publicity efforts. After all, whoever wins this week's championship means that whoever can attract more follow-up fans to watch in the next two weeks.

"Rest of a Deserted Island" occupies more newspaper pages; while on the Internet, dozens of "viral spread..." from the Flame Film Distribution and Marketing Department receive double salaries for the holidays and continue to promote "Juno". They have all experienced the viral marketing of films such as the "High School Musical" series, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" and "Memory Fragments". It is a skill that even the planners do not understand.

The publishing department said, "If you don't read "Juno" and don't understand Juno's lines, you are outdated...", the virus spreaders quickly launched a tide-like offensive, using the software developed by the company's hired LJ experts, and the mouse and keyboard , began to execute the unscrupulous bombing stage, and let "" appear overwhelmingly all over the Internet: "Juno is a good movie" It has three Golden Globe nominations, Natalie's acting is amazing, Juno is the trend ……”

If "Juno" itself is a bad movie, the effect is likely to be the spontaneous backlash of netizens, such as "Please, it's just a bad movie", "What's so good about a garbage movie..." But "Juno" is not It's a bad movie, and Fox hasn't decided to fight an information war yet, so there isn't much distaste on the Internet. Netizens who have watched "Juno" will say in agreement: "It's really a good movie..."

Naturally, the bombing effect cannot be completed in a day or two, but it seems that it is not difficult to close or overtake the gap of 646,700 US dollars. On the 28th, when movie fans checked the box office data on the 27th, they were surprised to find that "Juno" came up again "won the sixth round, and it received 10.1536 million box office on the 27th" to make its total for the week The box office rose to 61.8652 million US dollars; the score of "The Last Life on a Deserted Island" was 9.2931 million box office, with a total box office of 6165. There are thousands. "Juno" crossed that cliff in one fell swoop, not only tying up the gap of 646,700, but even surpassing 213,800!

Fans of "Juno" are thrilled that this is the first time the pregnant teen has topped the weekly box office charts! The supporters of "The Rest of the Deserted Island" are a little distraught, how the hell can this happen! A die-hard fan of Hanks surnamed Tang even appealed in the fan forum to "go to the cinema to watch Tom's actor-level performance again..." Virus spreaders have long been eyeing these well-known fan forums, and they quickly reprinted it on The fan base of Natalie Portman and Wang Yang encouraged everyone to fight back: "The time for the decisive battle has come, let's go to the Juno show again, we will win the championship next week..."

Young people are obviously more impulsive than middle-aged people, and they are also more "fans...", at least in response to it online.

When Feihao is a thing of the past and everything is settled, who will be the weekly box office champion during the Christmas week? As soon as the latest box office data came out, the media and movie fans rushed to check it out. On the 28th, "Rest of a Deserted Island" received a box office of 7.9993 million, and the total box office for the week was 69.65074 million; "Juno" received a box office of 8.7546 million." "Win" also won the Christmas week box office champion on the 22nd-28th with an advantage of 96.91 million!

The 15 million-cost "Juno" beat the 90 million-cost "Cast Away"? ! The 39-year-old genius lineup beat the 92-year-old Oscar lineup? ! Magic Young once again defeated the predecessor of the USC School, the best director Robert Zemeckis? !

That’s what the latest weekly box office data sheet and report say. The champion sits on the second place. The third place is 3044 theaters. The fourth place is 21.0205 million box office " The beauty pageant "Undercover"; the hit film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" ranked No. 1. It only had 3 theaters, but it received 6.085 million box office. On average, Cohen ranked first in each theater Brothers' new work "Three Kings of Prison Break" 6.64 Cong Wan, it only has a specific theater for trial screenings.

Although Hum's movie was released this week, the focus of the media is on the weekly championship battle between "Juno" and "The Rest of the Deserted Island", which is also where the fans' attention is. The box office battle of the two films is so stalemate" until the last day to decide the winner, which is rare in itself, especially since there are many off-court confrontation elements between the two, so with this Christmas The war came to an end, and the media made comments and reports one after another.

"Wonderful Christmas battle..." "Film News" commented after reporting last week's box office situation: "We are ushering in the new century" and also witnessed the last box office battle at the end of this century , young and old united for our Christmas present.

From the first day to the last day, the box office gap between the two films did not exceed 1 million, which was unprecedentedly intense. Under the circumstances favored by everyone, the old guy finally lost the war. This seems to be a handover ceremony, telling us that the new century is coming, and the young people are coming..."

There are countless media and websites for entertainment and movies. Yahoo Entertainment hit the headline "Bad Girls Beat Robinson, Fantastic Young Director Miracle!"; "Hollywood Reporter" "Young Whirlwind Strikes, Jan Natalie Dominates the Box Office for a Week... "...Naturally, there are many media who are inclined to "Cast Away", and expressed regret that it can only be ranked second: ""Cast Away" failed, and they are still the best partners..."...

The "New York Times" entertainment section is concerned about the reasons for the success of "Juno", why can it be on the top of the list? They think that the film itself is an undoubted masterpiece, but it can be so popular, apart from the excellent publicity strategy, because Magic Yang has handled the conflict between independent films and commercials very well, and has always expressed himself in the way of storytelling, Keeping "Zhu..." cool throughout, this girl is the most endearing female screen character of the year.

At the same time, the appearance of "Juno" filled the gap in the market for many years, and the extremely high "hunger and thirst..." of the market is also one of the important reasons for its unprecedented success. They jokingly wrote: "If "Sweetheart" is good enough , there is no such thing as "Juno".", "The success of "Juno" made us sigh "It turns out that teenage pregnancy can still be filmed like this" and also let the market see the demand and potential of this type of theme..." In At the end of the article, the "New York Times" concluded and wrote prophetically: "After "Juno" reinterpreted and defined teenage pregnancy, we believe that more and more similar film and television works will be launched on the market in the future. However, they have It is not as good as "Juno", we will only find out when the time comes." Of course, gossip newspapers pay more attention to those off-site elements, exaggeration and seriousness have always been their style, which has earned a lot of sales on Wang Yang. Entertainment" reported with a headline: "The Avengers of Southern California once again show their power, Magic Young defeated the predecessor Robert Zemeckis!", they wrote in the report: "In Steven Spielberg, George Lucas Afterwards, Robert Zemeckis became the new victim, and the powerful-year-old Miracle Young took his childhood goddess Natalie Portman to defeat the former idol mercilessly. The new century is coming soon, this What else will Boy Wonder give us? A classic movie? A new Academy Award record? We're looking forward to..."

The strange thing is that the accompanying picture in this headline is of a young man wearing a Lakers jersey and staring with excitement in the Staples Center. Behind him sit Wang Yang, Jesse Card, as well as Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake's captions with the pictures read: "Brother Jessica already predicted that Magic Yang would win? (The picture shows Joshua Alba..."

The "Los Angeles Times" interviewed Robert Zemeckis, and this latest half-publicity and half-entertainment interview naturally talked about Wang Yang. Robert Zemeckis commented: "He is a very thoughtful, very Good young man, "Juno" is also a rare and excellent movie. I don't mind being "defeated by it..." He said jokingly: "In fact, I communicated with Yang very early" I I even thought about adjusting the release date to avoid his "revenge" but you still can't escape after seeing it, haha..."

Fans who are familiar with the two know that they are good friends who forget the year. Not long ago, Miracle Yang sponsored the training academy that Robert was building to raise tens of thousands of dollars. So the reporter asked another question: "Do you think Wang Yang will be your successor?" Rob replied with a big smile: "Haha, no, no, I don't think anyone is his template. It’s up to me what Li Sui is doing, it’s definitely not the Christmas week box office champion. He has his own way, he’s unique, he’s going to do more than me…”

But not everyone thinks that Wang Yang is a "very good young man...", the parental points he earned in "When Happiness Comes Knocking on the Door" seems to have been used up suddenly, and he lost a lot of it. On the "Latest Movie Rankings Recommended by Parents...", "Juno" is almost at the bottom, and many middle-aged parents commented bluntly: ""Juno" is a very good movie, but I don't want me to go to junior high school I don’t know what she will understand from it, it’s best not to be interested in pregnancy...", "My daughter regards Juno as an imitation object, and she always speaks in a weird way these days, This worries me a lot.

Even Wang Yang's die-hard fan, film critic Roger Ebert expressed his concerns. He wrote in the "Chicago Sun-Times" film review: "I watched this movie with my youngest daughter. Yes, Amazing Young is still the same amazing Young, this movie is still full of sunshine and makes people feel very comfortable. And that sharp-mouthed little girl took all my attention, watching Natalie Portman's Acting is a treat and I thought it would be cool if I had a daughter like that. But when I came to my senses, the worst part was "I don't support teenage pregnancy and I don't want my daughter to be part of it baby don't make it daddy Disappointed……"

But for the movie itself, Roger Ebert still praised it, describing it as "a masterpiece that can be watched three times in a row", and praised Natalie Portman's acting skills as "enough to be shortlisted for Oscar...", and finally He patented "Juno" with "BS-UP (two thumbs up)..."

The atmosphere of Christmas has not dissipated, but in less than two days, the 2001 New Year's bell is about to ring, and the box office week of December 29-January has officially launched a new round of battles, making movie fans care The question is, can "Juno" continue to win the weekly championship and enter the new century? Or will "Cast Away" fight back fiercely? The honor of winning the second week of the championship?

"Kill them all!!" Natalie's deafening roar came from the phone, Wang Yang frowned and took the phone away, rubbed his ears, looked at the starry sky from the balcony, and looked at the phone. Laughing: "Dude, you almost scared me to death..." Immediately, Natalie over there shouted again: "Kill them all!!""
