Chapter 1126 [Divine War, Large-scale True Fragrance Scene]
On February 26, "La La Land" held a grand premiere in Los Angeles.
The film received worldwide attention when it was filmed. Director Damien Chazelle has only directed one feature film, but "The Burst Drummer" has received multiple Oscar nominations. The movies starring Guo Xu are all high box office, and he personally handled the soundtrack and several songs of the movie this time, he has won the Oscar for music more than once, and his strength has long been affirmed.
The competitor "Eyes of God Wars Power", which was released on the same day, was unanimously looked down upon by the media and fans.
This is a real special effects blockbuster, with grand special effects scenes and brilliant visual effects, and it is also a money-burning blockbuster, with a production cost of up to $140 million, even higher than the cost of "Pacific Rim", which is an A-level production in Hollywood.
However, what do fans say?
"Looking at the name, I feel that this film is coming to an end, a group of pseudo-gods want to compete with Jason, the god of real basketball, for the box office, and then watch each other win with the eyes of power, and fall down the street by themselves."
"Gerard Butler's Phantom of the Singing Opera was completely blown up by Jason, and this time the two face off head-to-head, Butler will definitely lose without even red pants."
"The movies released on this day must be over, Jason's box office appeal is undoubted, if this is not tomorrow's company's own film, "La La Land" will definitely not be able to hire him."
The crew of "Eyes of God Wars Rights" was interviewed and said that they were very confident in the quality of the film, so it was released at this time. In fact, they can't help it, there is "Deadpool" on February 12, and "Batman v Superman" in March, no matter how you look at it, it is a small competition at this time.
"La La Land" is a musical and dance drama, which seems to have a different audience from mythological blockbusters, and the impact should be a little smaller.
The impact was not small at all, "La La Land" was produced and distributed by Lionsgate in the parallel world, and with only 30 million investments, the global box office exceeded 400 million US dollars.
The attention of the movie Earth One before its release was several times higher, how much will the box office be? The original starring Ryan Gosling's many movies have achieved good box office results, and there is also a big gap between him and the current Guo Xu.
Before the start of each Lakers game, the trailer of the movie is shown on the big screen of the court, and the number of online trailers is even more amazing.
Because it is more convenient for Guo Xu to live in Los Angeles, he also participated in many crew promotions during the holidays to build momentum for the movie.
Guo Xu's lack of competition in the last three days was specially arranged by the league, and he will go to the Oscars on the 28th, and he was nominated for the best actor by virtue of "The Martian", and everyone pays more attention to his performance in the new film.
If his acting skills exploded in two consecutive movies and he was nominated for an Oscar, where would this be a crossover movie? Coupled with the achievements in commercial films, he is about to become a Hollywood brother.
Guo Xu walked the red carpet with Megan and D'Addario and was interviewed by the media.
Guo Xu said: "I like this film very much, I can guarantee that the quality is not inferior to "The Martian", and it will be a great success, because Damien is a genius, and when I saw the final film, I didn't expect to make such an effect in the end." β
Damien also praised Guo Xu in an interview. "Jason is a genius, and I'm not praising him now because he's the owner, not because he's the No. 1 player in NBA history, not because he's won an Olympic gold medal or something. From the perspective of an actor alone, he is a genius. β
The movie captured the hearts of the audience as soon as it opened, and the traffic jam lengthened the shot, and anyone who often watches movies knows that this section is not easy to shoot. The drivers got out of the car and began to dance merrily, setting the overall tone for the film.
Then the movie begins to introduce the situation of the male and female protagonists, one is an actress who always fails in auditions, and the other is a pianist who is obsessed with jazz and has never met talents.
They both have a down-and-out life and always meet each other. When Guo Xu and Emma Stone met again at the top of the mountain, the two first sang a chorus to express their disdain to each other, and then danced awkwardly without saying a word, and the audience was overturned in one shot.
After this dance, the audience thought they were so cute. What a tacit understanding do you have, and you even say that you don't like each other? If Emma hadn't received the call, the two might have kissed, and their love was like a large-scale "real fragrance" scene.
All audiences were captivated by the movie. The two soon became lovers, and the good times did not last long, and due to economic pressure, the two gradually had contradictions, and they broke up unhappily after quarreling.
Guo Xu went to Emma's house to find her and told her about an audition, and then the two had a disagreement again, and they expressed their hearts in a high voice, and after singing, the neighbor was sprayed.
The original Gosling did not have a high-pitched song from beginning to end, and his voice was completely overshadowed by Emma during the chorus. The plot after the magic change is more intense, they actually care about each other, and the more they care, the easier it is to make each other angry.
Guo Xu and Emma's expressions are very rich, and they show their emotions with changes in their eyes and expressions in a large number of close-ups.
There is no shortage of tributes to classic movies in the film, such as the pas de deux on the top of the hill is a tribute to "Sing in the Rain". Since it is a song and dance film, song and dance are very important, and this can be felt from the opening song.
Guo Xu has long been famous for dancing, and his first movie "The Innocence of the Dancer" was to dance Latin dance with Megan. This time, he performed the best in dance, and through the big screen, the audience could feel that enthusiasm.
Dude chose the wrong profession, if you go to dance, it's early fire, jazz? Hehe.
The hero and heroine still broke up, and they both realized their dreams in the end, both bitter and sweet.
The ending of the movie uses the technique of montage, and when Guo Xu plays the piano at the end of the film, many female viewers cry.
Guo Xu slowly played the skillful tune, and the film suddenly entered his fantasy, going back in time, back to the time when he and Emma met in the restaurant, and he chose to kiss Emma.
This montage is his imagination of the past that cannot be repeated. When they all realized their dreams, he suddenly realized that dreams seemed to be less important, at least not the most important.
If he could do it all over again, he would kiss her the first time they met, and he wouldn't have to miss another winter.
He would turn down the job that would make him famous and come to see her first self-written and directed performance.
She couldn't run around with him, so he simply moved with her to live in Paris, where there was good jazz.
They will be very clichΓ©, get married, have children, buy a house, and paint the love nest with their own hands.
On the night of leaving the child to the babysitter, the two drove to the two-person world, and then walked into the bar together to listen to someone sitting in front of the piano of his dreams, playing the tune he had always dreamed of playing.
In this way, it is actually very happy.
It's a pity that there are no such ifs in reality, just Guo Xu's fantasy in the movie, and as the piano music nears the end, the picture also returns to reality. He didn't play the last note of the tune because he didn't want to fantasize about the end......
Emma decided to leave after listening to the song, and only when she walked to the door did she muster up the courage to turn back, and Guo Xu also happened to turn her head to look at the door.
The two looked at each other affectionately for a few seconds, smiled and nodded at each other, and everything was silent. In that time of looking back and staring, love, sigh, look down, and then laugh at it.
When the movie ended, the audience applauded for a long time.
Film critics are also applauding, he only feels that Guo Xu is going to compete for the actor again, which is different from his previous commercial films, but art.
