The film critics and the public praise unanimously. A blockbuster film."

Phoenix Satellite TV, which can be seen in the Greater China region, is broadcasting the program "Gathering at Phoenix TV". On the TV screens of the viewers' homes, the host Ke Lan is making hand movements. In the flashing light, Natalie Portman and Rachel McAdams stood next to Wang Yang on the left and right, and the three of them took a group photo with bright smiles.

"We watched the highlights of its screening a few days ago, and today I will show you the exciting trailer of this movie. What is a high-IQ gambling movie?" Ke Lan said with a smile, and made another please watch Gesture, a green gambling table appeared on the TV screen, playing cards one by one, Wu Yanzu concentrated on calculations... the high fives of the team members, the jokes on campus, the carnival in the casino, the jokes in the casino, the female detective...

After the clip was played and the TV screen returned to the studio, Ke Lan continued to laugh and said: "This film has received a total score of 85 from the media, Yahoo's evaluation, and the famous newspaper "New York Times" commented that 'the content of the film is right. Incredible expertise, team camaraderie, and genius duel of minds, all in a talented production to explosive effect.'”

Ke Lan said with a smile: "As for what you think, you can only know after watching it yourself. I haven't watched it yet, but, my audience friends will be able to see this movie in theaters soon, August 16 No.” She raised her finger and smiled energetically: “Yes, maybe everyone knows that Wang Yang will come to China for promotion next week, and Natalie Portman and Rachel McAdams will also come to China. Hope to go together."

"This is the first time Miracle Yang has officially come to China. I am looking forward to it. I hope to see this talented director." Ke Lan smiled, and then introduced with a smile: "Wu Yanzu, Karen Mok returned to Hong Kong yesterday. Attending a promotional event aroused fans' pursuit. Azu said that getting this role was all due to skill, and even revealed a little-known habit of Wang Yang. It turns out...! What is it? Please read the report below."

Cracking sound, flashing lights, and Hong Kong movie fans screaming "Azu!" The fashionable and beautiful Karen Mok stood together, and the two smiled and waved. The female narrator of the program said: "Wu Yanzu and Karen Mok attended the meeting of "The Fall of Las Vegas" in Causeway Bay yesterday, to create momentum for the release on the 16th."

"Speaking of this trip to Hollywood, Azu said." Many microphones on the screen were aimed at Wu Yanzu, including VB, V, Phoenix Satellite TV, Commercial TV...Wu Yanzu looked at the reporters and laughed in impure Cantonese Said: "I was very surprised that day. My agent suddenly told me that Wang Yang invited me to participate in an audition for a leading actor! I thought it was a kung fu martial arts movie, but Wang Yang said no. I went to the audition,

It is required to finish nearly a full page of lines within one or two minutes. "

He sighed and laughed, and said: "I thought I was going to die, but who knows, I can tell. It has something to do with kung fu. I can speak so fast only after training, and then I passed the audition." A reporter's voice asked : "Did you encounter any discomforts when you came back to filming in the United States?" Wu Yanzu shook his head and smiled: "There are no obstacles, but there are many differences. The crew has taken care of us. m aftertaste m aftertaste"

"And when Azu talked about Wang Yang, he seemed to have been bullied a lot." Following the female narrator, Wu Yanzu frowned and smiled on the screen: "He is a martial idiot. I forgot that he came to me during the filming for a few months. How many times have I fought? No, no, it’s not true, it’s just like Tai Chi push hands.” The scene seemed to have been edited, and he laughed again: “Wang Yang practices boxing every morning. When I’m busy, I practice about 2 or 3 times a week. times, but he does it every day.”  …

There is no need to be reminded of this program. After a month or two of publicity and entertainment news reports, almost all Chinese movie fans and ordinary netizens have already known about "The Fall of Las Vegas" and the magic Yang is coming to China. Now that the film has been released in North America, won the championship in the opening weekend and received great acclaim, the audience is naturally looking forward to its release and the amazing trip to China.

"If you have any questions or anything you want to say to Yang, please write it down! We will synthesize some common questions, and randomly select a few copies to help convey to him. Abnormal questions will be ruled out."

This time, the "Magical Yang China Film Association", which participated in the film mí meeting held in Beijing and had the opportunity to meet Wang Yang face to face, immediately posted on the official website, Tianya and other places after confirming the news, saying that Be happy and collect questions from netizens.

In America there are people who love Wang Yang and there are people who hate him; the same is true in China. There are tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of young people who regard the magical director and the youngest billionaire as their idol, or at least like them; and there are also many netizens who target and attack him everywhere, and the reasons are naturally various and strange , "Been in prison" is a major attack point, and the follow-up questions on the post include "what food is there in the prison?", "do you eat and drink in the cell?" and other questions.

Because he is b, he also attracted some scolding, "I hate banana people the most!", "Three banana people are coming to China to make money!", Wu Yanzu, who was not scolded before, was also dragged into the water.

However, anyone who is familiar with Miracle Yang will know that he is a "China hand", fluent in Chinese and Chinese characters, familiar with culture and history, which is much better than Wu Yanzu's crappy Mandarin and no Chinese characters; and he has a very friendly and friendly attitude towards China. Therefore, many film and netizens responded: "Wang Yang is the pride of Chinese people all over the world, and I can't understand the people who scold him!", "Thank you Fantastic Yang! I have seen enough Jackie Chan and Jet Li! I am looking forward to this movie!", "You It’s best never to watch Wang Yang or Wu Yanzu’s movies, and don’t listen to Wang Leehom’s songs.”…

To the surprise and delight of Wang Yang fans, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television finally passed the review of "The Fall of Las Vegas" after it was screened in North America for a few days. : "This movie is very healthy and excellent. It criticizes gambling and casinos, and the thinking is very correct. The group of MIT students is like Spiderman punishing the bad guys. It looks very exciting."

Movie fans don't care about the educational significance or the reasons for criticism. They know that not cutting the knife means that they can enjoy the movie 100% without being destroyed by those full-fledged idiots. They are praised as "sharp and weird" "Shot clip.

"Will you go to the theater to watch the upcoming "The Fall of Las Vegas"?" In a popular survey on the movie channel, 332 people participated, and 75% of netizens chose the must-see work; 17% People chose to talk about it at that time; 8% of people chose not to be interested. m aftertaste m aftertaste

And then there is a subsidiary survey: "How much box office do you think "The Capture of Las Vegas" will receive in mainland China? (Unit: RMB)"

In the historical list of Chinese film box office, "Titanic" ranked first in 1998. It has been on the list for 5 years with a figure of 360 million, and it seems that it will not be surpassed for a while; then The first is "Hero", which sparked a blockbuster movie-watching craze last year, and the third is the same domestic film "Life and Death", which was released last year, with 120 million. Then there was "Pearl Harbor" in 1 year, 500 million, and "True Lies" in 1995, 200 million.

It was the turn of the domestic films "Shaolin Temple", "Mom Loves Me Again", and "Gunshots from the Secrecy Bureau", all of which were 100 million; but lost the best time for release, and did not make it to the big screens in mainland China until the beginning of this year. District Nine followed closely behind, taking ninth place.

Riding on the momentum of the Oscars in the past less than 5 months, the fresh and hot releases, and the film "The Fall of Las Vegas" that Miracle Yang brought the leading role to China for promotion, how much box office will it finally receive?

13% of Internet users chose 0-100 million; 55% of those who ordered 100-200 million; 23% of 200-300 million; Although this is the best director of Chinese descent, the leading actor of Chinese descent, and the story of the God of Gamblers of Chinese descent...but most people think that it will not exceed 200 million.

It is still unknown how "-21-em" will perform at the box office in mainland China, but in North America it has already established a hot sale and a huge profit. When the curtain fell from August 1st to 7th, the weekly box office rankings for the last month of the summer vacation in 2003 also had their results. "21" continued its trend of winning the weekend. With a large absolute advantage, 3354 theaters received 75.26 million box office won.

"American Pie 3" lost the week without any suspense. In this second place, "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" completed the reverse with 23.13 million. The total box office has reached 210 million in 4 weeks. , Keira Knightley became popular in an instant, and Captain Jack became the target of countless movies;

The weekly championship score of 75.26 million and the momentum of praise not only allowed "-21-em" to sweep away all opponents in this newly opened battlefield, but also "Gambler Ma Huali" with 300 million in the world, "Ma Huali" with 0.98 million Movies such as The Bowfinger Project and Billionaire's "White People Can't Jump" are no longer obstacles. It is already a predictable foregone conclusion that it will top the box office of gambling movies.

Yahoo’s box office review for the week said: “It’s not surprising that this movie won the championship; on the contrary, Wang Yang’s movie failed at the box office, so I suspect that someone is joking.”

After evaluating the film itself, editor David Foer wrote: "The most incredible thing about Young is that he makes any kind of movie, he will be a big success, and it will usher in a revival of that genre. "The Hangover" made Studios are investing in R-rated comedies, and we'll see a lot of shit next summer; will 21 lead to a wave of gambling and crime movies? Let's wait and see."

In the category of "liars", "21" also beat Wan's "How to Get Away with Murder" with 75.26 million a week. In the two-day box office, it fell by .7% in the second week, and finally the North American box office was 400 million, and the global box office was 352 million.

Whether "21" can "create a new genre record" and surpass "How to Get Away with the Law" to stand at the pinnacle of liar genre films depends on the downward trend of the box office in the second week and the upcoming overseas release.

However, the stock of "Chinese directors" is already rebounding sharply. 100 million, publicity costs and other bills, Huanying has lost a lot of money, and Li An is also in a state of depression and recuperation.

It wasn't just the stocks of "Chinese directors" that soared, Wang Yang's personal "Director's North American Box Office List" also soared to the fourth director with a North American box office of 1.5 billion, reaching 100 million!

Although still ranked fourth in history, it is also expected that he will surpass the "bedtime story teller" Chris Columbus of 1.5388 billion and the "movie ghost master" of 1.5418 billion in a week at most Robert Zemeckis easily climbed to the second place in history, ahead of only 400 million Steven Spielberg.

Interestingly, Chris Columbus and Robert Zemeckis were first appreciated by Steven Spielberg, led by him into the world of Hollywood movies, and eventually dominated the top three box office charts.

Now the second place is about to change hands and is taken away by a 23-year-old young man. It was mentioned again on the Internet, and many movie fans who were surprised to hear about it sighed: "This is very scary!" Magic Young is twice as far away as Spielberg's 400 million, but don't forget that he is 5 years and 7 years old. The film has a box office of 1.5 billion in North America; many people naturally have a hypothesis: "After another 5 years, will he have a box office of 100 million in North America?"

The 57-year-old Spielberg is far from old, and "The End of Happiness" starring Tom Hanks is in the preparatory stage and will soon start filming; 5 years later, Magic Young may not be able to win the championship, but Who would ever feel like a failure? He is only 28 years old after 5 years, the age when other directors have just appeared on the 6th big screen. Even if the current 1.5 billion stagnates, movie fans will only say: "!! This guy is crazy!"

"Unlike "Bad Boys 2" which exploded in boredom for 2 and a half hours, "-21-em" brings plenty of brain exercise. While enjoying the thrill of the movie, you are also taking math lessons." —— Kevin-Joseph, ery.; "This movie and "How to Get Away with Law" is a movie-watching feeling. The Throne of the Divine Seal Seeking Demons, Audacious World, Nine Heavens, The Strongest Abandoned Young Master Zhou Royal Clan, The Martial Qiankun General, Killing Gods Sealed Throne, Seeking Demons, Proud World Nine Heavens, The Strongest Abandoned Young Master, Zhou Royal Clan, God General Heaven's Strongest Abandoned Young Da Zhou Royal Family is similar, excellent entertainment, delicious cat and mouse game, unbelievable and convincing content. Both are the most bang escape movies, nothing to think about, you just have to sit back and enjoy 2 hours of fun." Chad Anson, Newsweek.

"'District 9' is like a main course, and it's a delicious dessert. Refreshingly crisp, professional and credible." --Mike Clark, USA Today; "In Natalie- Portman's masterful performance propelled by a lot of fun, one of the most enjoyable movies of the year." - Ricky Reid, The New York Observer; "Crazy entertainment from start to finish." -Paul - Philip, Houston Chronicle...

"This is a film with sharp edges and high technology. Everything shines with Wang Yang's amazing talent, and he makes excellent use of his top creative team. The lines, scripts, shots, editing and soundtrack... are all so cool. --Walter Idigo, San Francisco Chronicle.

That day, he led me to the best hotel in the area (built on a hill with beautiful scenery), and a carriage was waiting for us at the door.

On the comfortable sofa in the spacious living room, Wang Yang looked at the column "How did your husband propose to you?" in the magazine as if he had found a treasure, and turned a page, only to see that it was written again: "The carriage took us for a walk in the hotel garden, Then he stopped next to the fountain and pavilion surrounded by flowers in the back. He took my hand and came to sit in the pavilion, knelt down on one knee, and asked me if I would marry him? He is so romantic!"

"It's no surprise! It's so grand and obvious from the beginning, everyone knows to ask for marriage!" Wang Yang shook his head thinking about it, and then looked at another "After I entered the door, I found a vase above the stove. Inside the vase Holding flowers, a diamond ring on the flower branch!" With a sound, he put the magazine on the coffee table, and said in his heart: "Adjust your thinking, adjust your thinking!" It's not the surprise he likes, but what she likes...

As soon as the movie was released, Wang Yang felt surrounded by many things and voices, and the number of paparazzi would suddenly increase, which was normal. He thinks that he won't be free for a while. The company has already purchased the script of "Firefly" with Joss Whedon. These days, when he has time, he thinks about how to move it to the big screen; It will start broadcasting on nb, and he will go to China in two days.

But what made him feel more imminent was the proposal. According to some information from Joshua in the past few days, he already has an idea for an engagement ring and plans to order one in secret. And the way to propose...

"Baby." Jessica, who was wearing a casual shirt and jeans, walked over with a smile, and Danny followed behind her with her tongue sticking out. She sat down on the sofa and looked at the coffee table. Wang Yang quickly laughed and said: "No, no, Jesse, I just... the jokes in this magazine are very funny, you know, haha!" Jessica reached out and picked up the remote control and pressed it to turn on the On the TV, she glanced at him, wondering: "What? I didn't say anything."

"Well, yes, you know I'm very excited about going to China this time, wow! I have 100 million followers, that's too exaggerated." Wang Yang changed the subject with a smile, and he was really looking forward to this trip, The movie fans in Asia are very enthusiastic, he shook his fist: "I love them to death!"

"Next time we do publicity, I will go too." Jessica nodded happily, and suddenly asked with interest: "Oh yes, what joke did you say just now?" Wang Yang was slightly taken aback, even if It’s not clear that there is a joke in that magazine, he smiled calmly: “I want to tell you that joke, it’s not in the magazine, another... There was a person in the past..."

Soon, hahaha female voices burst into laughter in the living room. After laughing for a long time, they stopped breathing undecidedly.
