Chapter four hundred and seventeen poor performance
Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!
Before the official release, "The Hangover" also had a preview, and the critics received mediocre responses. This typical shit, pee, fart comedy, would not win their praise. By the same token, typical bad comedy was very little influenced by professional film reviews. Unlike film critics, ordinary audiences participating in the preview gave extremely high praise.
Even in July, "The Hangover" won the Montreal Comedy Director of the Year Award.
However, the film has been criticized for being a little bit bad, that is Murphy.
“I think being an actor is a new challenge.”
In the interview area at the end of the red carpet, Murphy stood among the Stanton party members and answered the questions asked by reporters about the role of the first movie, "The role of the groom is very difficult..."
Robert Downey Jr. and Jonah Hill have already started laughing, and James Franko and Seth Logan also laughed.
"I admit it," Murphy said helplessly, "I am not a good actor. I have suffered enough on the set."
After saying this, Murphy stepped behind everyone and gave the protagonist's position to Seth Logan, James Franco and Jonah Hill, who are the real protagonists in this film.
Others continued to be interviewed, and Murphy found David Ellison standing behind.
"I hope this video can be sold well." David Ellison, who is similar to his age, looked worried, "it can make up for the deficit caused by my last investment failure."
Murphy gently patted his shoulder, "Don't care too much, David. When it comes to investment, there will always be success and failure."
David Ellison ultimately did not listen to his persuasion and invested in "Air War Hero". Although the protagonist is no longer James Franko, he still suffered a crushing defeat. It is definitely a huge disaster in the Hollywood film industry this year, and has even been listed as a typical negative textbook for failure by many production companies.
"But you are always successful!" David Ellison frowned even more.
"Please, you want to go with Murphybe?" Megan Ellison happened to come over and heard David Ellison's words and sarcastically, "What are you going to go with Murphybe?"
David Ellison scratched his head, not knowing what to say. Apart from family background and a good dad, he seemed not as good as the person on the other side in any aspect.
When it comes to investing in movies, the other party has never missed it; when it comes to fame, the other party is like Tianyang at noon in Los Angeles; even if it is a girlfriend, I just found a vase. The other party’s girlfriend is beautiful, generous, smart, and mature, which can be regarded as a great helper to her career...
Thinking of this, David Ellison was a little depressed and knew that he had to work hard.
As time came, Murphy and others walked into the Hollywood Chinese Theater where the premiere was held, waiting for the film to begin screening.
Seth Logan and Jonah Hill have a lot of experience in vulgar comedy, the film is well-made, with a lot of jokes, and more importantly, some suspense is appropriately incorporated into the joyful atmosphere of the comedy.
Although Seth Logan and Jonah Hill have made a lot of polish and changes, the main plot of the film has not changed.
The character played by Murphy will soon enter the church in a few days and marry her beloved woman. After hearing this good news, several of his best friends were sincerely happy for him and decided to hold a bachelor party before marriage. So the four characters played by James Franko, Seth Logan, Jonah Hill and Robert Downey Jr. drove to the casino Las Vegas. They wanted to spend a crazy and confused farewell to the singles carnival night together...
Under the stimulation of alcohol, the five people fell asleep in a drowsy way. After waking up, they had no impression of what happened last night. It was nothing, but the most troublesome problem came. There were only four people left in the room, and the protagonist of the party: Doug, played by Murphy, disappeared! What’s even more strange is that there was a tiger in the bathroom, and there was a baby who looked less than one year old in the closet!
Faced with such a chaotic situation, James Franko and the other four were completely helpless, but they knew that there was not much time and they had to figure out what they did last night. The wedding was about to be held, and they had to find Doug within two days, otherwise greater trouble would come.
So the three of them began to search for the truth about last night by chance. However, as the matter developed, they faced more and more difficult things...
To put it simply, this is a comedy that takes place in Las Vegas, where four best men and the groom who are about to have a wedding get drunk at a single party. After waking up, they find that the groom is missing, so they have to recall what happened last night to get the groom back and have a smooth wedding.
Perhaps Seth Logan is born with this type of film, or perhaps it is more pleasing to the eye when watching his own people. The films Murphy saw were better than the ones he had ever seen.
I have to say that Seth Logan has a very talented personality in this area, and the use of several tips makes it easier for the film to please the audience.
First, he used a completely popular perspective.
The film tells the story of ordinary people, highlighting the storyline and human touch, and can touch the heartstrings of most people. Unlike the film directed by Murphy, "The Hangover" expresses the universal values of the public and represents the appearance of sentient beings in American life.
All four protagonists are genre characters. The first feature of genre characters is that they are easy to identify and easily remembered by the audience. They are elegant and reserved dentists, anti-traditional middle school teachers, as well as Alan, who has a somewhat claustrophobic personality and bad friends who are bad-mouthed, as if they are all neighbors living in the community.
Another major feature of type characters is that they can easily win the recognition of the audience because of their clear personality orientation. Everyone has various wishes in their psychology, while many type characters are easily recognized and loved by them because they satisfy the audience's psychological wishes.
Secondly, the suspense element is fully integrated into the comedy atmosphere.
Suspense is one of the most important elements of all narratives in the movie, which can make the recipient develop expectations for the later part of the narrative due to curiosity, anxiety, anxiety or sympathy. When the audience sees a confusing time, or finds an open question, they will naturally produce "puzzle-solving" **.
"Hangover" belongs to the eleventh "interpretation of mystery": suspense must be solved, otherwise there will be trouble.
"The theme of this "Hangover" condenses the subconscious content of psychoanalysis, and shows the modern people's tendency to seek stimulation and carnival due to mental depression. In terms of creative skills, the film adopts the perspective of the common people, applies suspense to the extreme, and truly records the language in life, bringing visual and psychological pleasure to the audience."
After the premiere, the comments on the Los Angeles Times entertainment edition can be said to be very similar to Murphy's views.
This film was then operated by Twentieth Century Fox and landed in more than 3,000 theaters in North America on a large scale. To everyone's expectations, the reputation of the film after its release was completely different from that during its trial. Except for a few media that continued to give negative reviews, most media gave positive reviews to the film.
Although film critics continue to criticize this kind of vulgar comedy, it cannot stop the pace of comedy enthusiasts buying tickets and watching, and the general praise after watching it.
"Movie Salon" believes: "The Hangover goes beyond the routine of ordinary comedy films, looks refreshing, and the friendship between men revealed in the film is also very credible." The San Francisco Chronicle believes: "This is the funniest comedy so far this year!"
In terms of evaluation, 2924 imdb's audience gave 8.5 points, and 21 media comprehensive judges including Yahoo Entertainment gave a comprehensive evaluation of NRE2296 audiences.
On the other hand, the day after the premiere, cinre gave an extremely bold prediction that they believed that the final North American box office of "The Hangover" would exceed the $200 million mark!
Now even if someone boldly predicts that "The Hangover" has a box office of $150 million in North America, no one believes it, but cinre believes that the film will win a box office of around $230 million in North America.
"You can't predict how far a movie's box office can go with just one score," a spokesperson for cinre company gave his own explanation. "You need to put many factors together to make a comprehensive comparison, including the level of the film, type, audience distribution, and the box office that similar scores in the past have ended up with similar scores."
Every year, there are always some movies in Hollywood that are not favored by all parties before they are released, and they are even criticized by the media and film critics during their preview, but they can achieve very unexpected box office after they are released. "The Hangover" will undoubtedly become one of them.
Three days after the first weekend, Seth Logan and Jonah Hill, who had had enough criticisms during the audition before, were finally able to be proud. "The Hangover" was launched in 3,560 theaters, and the box office on Friday actually reached 19.54 million US dollars. The box office in North America in the three days of the first weekend was as high as 54.88 million US dollars, and the average box office in a single studio exceeded 15,000 US dollars. For this film, whose production cost is only about 30 million US dollars, the box office is so good.
"A surprising movie", "an uninnovative plot and hilarious dialogue", "I can't extricate myself in the movie, and the plots are constantly changing in my mind", "The film itself is really funny, not deliberately pretending, and not whining without any illness, but its performance is also surprising", "It's so great satisfaction!"... Although the media's evaluation is generally conservative, the huge reputation given by the audience has shown that it is a must-see for this R-level comedy.
The support of the audience is the important reason for the huge hit of this film. Of course, no one can ignore it. Now the Stanton party members have strong market appeal.
However, not all Stantonists brought positive responses to the film. Some people did not perform well. Murphy unfortunately became a representative and was criticized by fans. (To be continued.)
