The Best Director

November 25th is Thanksgiving, and one month later is Christmas. The joyful holiday brings problems to the crew of "I Am Legend" because the streets will soon begin to be decorated with Christmas decorations, lights, Christmas trees, garlands, etc. Dark hunters can But Christmas.

It stands to reason that the crew should hurry up and finish all the location shooting. The problem is that everyone needs a holiday during the holidays, and no one wants "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" to be released in real life; and Wang Yang has to rush to complete "The Dead", and the filming location is not for photography. studio, so the crew had to continue with the normal rhythm. Fortunately, the exterior filming of "I Am Legend" has almost been completed, and it is expected that the street shots will be completed before Christmas decorations can be seen everywhere. Otherwise, we would have to wait for the people to celebrate Christmas and New Year. Then you can spend a lot of time removing the decorations before shooting. [.]

Don’t let people and businesses hang up decorations? Santa Claus can only get the middle finger when he comes. Just because of the blockade of filming, public resentment in New York is getting bigger and bigger, especially the residents of Greenwich Village, the main filming location. If "I Am Legend" does not announce the expected When it is finalized in mid-January next year, they will hold demonstrations.

On her first Thanksgiving, Keke and her family gathered together to celebrate the holiday. She was naturally the most shining little princess in the room, but she did not wear a princess laurel tiara, but an Indiana-style colorful feather tiara.

Keke saw a turkey dinner for the first time. Although her current staple food is milk powder, vegetables and other baby-specific dishes, she also ate several pieces of turkey meat. Everyone was happy. They had a child and sat at the dining table with their feet swaying. Wang Yang cut into the plump turkey and felt very happy. He couldn't help but look forward to the coming Christmas, New Year's Day and Spring Festival. The more holidays, the better! Jessica, who was busy hosting this turkey dinner, felt particularly accomplished when she saw them eating happily, listening to the compliments, and wiping the corners of Keke's greasy mouth!

"We shot in a real morgue, and the feeling was so weird." The overall evaluation was warm and happy. In fact, it was full of shouting and yelling, and Joshua talked endlessly about the production of "Death in Peace" at the dinner table. Condition. He also talked enthusiastically about the real morgue, but Ke Ke couldn’t understand it anyway. Jessica said coldly: "I feel very weird now." It's not that she's not interested, but not now! Wang Yang nodded at the same time and said: "This is a good publicity stunt."

Several elders also found it boring and no one spoke to them. "Don't talk about work!" Jessica was about to continue talking about Ke Ke's interesting things, and Joshua said calmly: "This is not work. This is sharing." Wang Yang was about to say something, but Jessica glared at him and continued to say coldly. : "Not a good topic." She suddenly yelled "!" and saw Ke Ke feeding a piece of green vegetables to Danny, with a sweet smile on her face. When she heard her mother's voice, she quickly put the remaining vegetables in her mouth. Put a piece into his mouth. …

When November 24-30 passed, "Happy Feet", which was released the following week, took the top spot with a box office of 41.73 million. It was a minor upset. This was entirely due to the failure of the 75 million new film "Clues" starring Denzel Washington. It only had a 55% freshness rating and a box office of 24.98 million this week; as for other movies like Fox's "A Shining Christmas," Warner Bros.'s "The Fountainhead," and New Line's "Tough D: Fate Peak" all didn't do well.

Warner Bros. has already screwed up two deals with Darren Aronofsky. "The Fountainhead" was neither a hit (PD35 million, 6.45 million box office in 9 days), but only 51%

With a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 26%, criticism from the mainstream media has ended its hopes of hitting the awards season. Although Darren previously received a Golden Lion Award nomination at the Venice Film Festival.

It’s the end of the year again, and just like the summer vacation, this December’s movie market is not as full of attractions and topics as last year.

There are special effects blockbusters like "O Special" and "King Kong", and there are no controversial films like "Brokeback Mountain".

"The Nativity" (pd35 million), released on December 1st, has a chance to become the focus of controversy. New films this week include "The Prestige" with a production cost of 40 million, "Jungle Nightmare" with a production cost of 10 million, and "The King of Repeaters". 2"; on the 8th, the action-adventure film "Apocalypse" directed by Mel Gibson (pd40 million), the romantic comedy "Love Vacation" directed by Nancy Meyers (pd85 million), Martin Scorsese The director's "Blood Diamond" will all appear.

The 100 million-cost fantasy film "Dragon Rider" is today's Christmas special effects blockbuster. It will be released on the 15th; the 85 million-cost remake of the family comedy "Charlotte's Web" has high hopes from Paramount, and the performance of the cute pig will not be announced until the 15th.

This year has the same characteristics as last year, which makes theater owners very relieved. They don’t have to worry about the theater being deserted, because there is magic! And there are two of them! During the week of 15th-21st. The much-anticipated biographical drama "The Amazing Director" (pd50 million) directed by David Fincher will be released on the 20th! With the trailer being well-received and the pre-sale tickets being very popular, no one doubts whether it will be a blockbuster. No one doubts the popularity of the idol director. What everyone is guessing is just how much the box office will be?

And on the 22nd of the new week, Wang Yang’s new film "The Dead" hits the big screen! Everyone knows what that means, in this day and age, every time a magical movie comes out it’s a carnival festival.

Since everyone is focusing on Christmas these days, there will always be a head-on collision, and "The Dead" is not a comedy, so the 120 million-cost family adventure comedy "Night at the Museum" is scheduled for the 22nd, in addition to Stallone's "Rocky 6: Forever" (20th, pd24 million), "We Are Marshall", and the thriller drama "Shepherd" directed by Robert De Niro (22nd, pd85 million).

If "The Departed" has any rival, the most suitable one is Universal Pictures' "The-D-Shephe" of the same type.

d, literally translated as shepherd), the two films are definitely in direct conflict!

"Shepherd" brings the story of Edward Wilson, one of the founders of the CIA, to the screen, striving to present a real, three-dimensional hero to the audience. This is the second film in De Niro's directing career. The last time "A Bronx Tale" was released was on October 1, 1993. It received 17.28 million box office that year, and the current Rotten Tomatoes index is 96%.

100%

88%,

Net score is 80, and "Shepherd" stars Madea Terméng and Angelina Jolie. These two big names make it a high-profile cast. In addition, Universal promotes it vigorously. What will happen? of a battle?

When looking at the New Year's Eve week from December 29th to January 4th, there are no new films worth mentioning. The R-rated horror film "Christmas Eve" on Christmas Day, the 25th, was not favored; Alfonso- Although the production cost of Cuarón's new science fiction film "Children of Men" is as high as 76 million, due to its poor performance in overseas markets, it has only had a box office of 26.85 million since its release on September 22. Back in North America, Universal only dared to arrange for it. In the first week, 16 theaters took the lead.

In fact, "Children of Men" has received very good reviews overseas, and the media has applauded the film. Why is it so miserable at the box office? This is the disadvantage of not having a cast, even though Alfonso Cuarón is the star of "Harry Potter"

"O Special 3" director, but who knows who is the director of "Haha 1", "Haha 2", and "Haha 4"? Not to mention that "Ha 3" is the lowest-grossing movie in the series. It's better to call him "the director of "The Lost Boy""; starring Clive Owen, Julianne Moore, Michael Caine... they His acting skills are great, but which of the three old guys has box office appeal?

You must know that the nature of "Children of Men" is different from that of a small movie like "Little Miss Sunshine" as a science fiction blockbuster. The audience's impression and sense of it are completely different. What's more fatal is that Universal made a stupid move and originally planned to go overseas first. Then we counterattacked North America. Unexpectedly, we didn't make a name for ourselves overseas, and North America was completely delayed.

However, this winter will still be bright with stars, and there will be no shortage of big stars. Let’s just talk about actors: Hugh Jackman, Christopher Bell, Jude Law, Jack Black, Leonardo DiCaprio, Heath Ledger, Michael Pitt, Jack Nicholson, Ben Stiller, Sylvester Stallone, Matt Damon, Scarlett Johansson, Cameron Diaz , Kate Winslet, Julia Roberts, Dakota Fanning, Keira Knightley, Natalie-

Oterman, Angelina Jolie...

Who will be smiling at the box office rankings and major award ceremonies? The 2006 Christmas War is slowly starting.

The low-cost "The Magician" performed quite amazingly and became a model for international movies; now it is the turn of the mid-cost "The Magician" to land in 2,879 North American theaters.

"Absorbing" the shortcomings of Bowei's distribution, Wang Yang solemnly ordered the distribution department to highlight "The Magic" (the-p

ge, literally translated as fame) magic selling point, the success of "The Magician" (the-st, literally translated as magician) is inseparable from the title. If it were not adapted from the fantasy masterpiece of the same name, Flame would definitely put the-st

ge has been changed; but in other aspects, whether it is the poster cover or the trailer, the Flames focus on promoting magic and a unique timing atmosphere, and of course they have not forgotten the biggest highlight of shouting "suspense".

The content and narrative structure of "The Prestige" are destined to not be a mainstream popular movie. If you want to have a good box office, the key lies in how to maximize its potential and attract the most interested audiences into the theater, just like Release of "Memento" and "The Illusionist" are the same.

How will this movie perform? What results will Christopher Nolan, the scheduled director of "The Dark Knight" who has been repeatedly favored by Wang Yang, receive? Can Scarlett Johansson, who just suffered the disastrous failure of "The Black Dahlia", stage a major reversal of performance in 2006? Can Fire Movies continue to maintain the miracle of unbeaten box office? Warner Bros. and other studios, media, moviegoers, parties... everyone is paying attention.

On this day, audiences who love suspense movies flocked to the theater, and "The Prestige" was released! ! .
