Chapter 456
?
Friends congratulated Guo Xu and Megan, who were the focus of the day, and held a press conference after watching the movie.
Guo Xu has long been accustomed to this kind of scene and can deal with any problem calmly. Megan is so excited that she wants to cry. This is the first time she has experienced the taste of fame. The best movie she had received before was "Deadly ID", which was just a small role. Now many people know her.
Guo Xu will not give advice like a well-known actor and talk about the quality of movies. He always maintains an attitude of "I am an outsider", while Megan's tone is consistent with him. They resolutely refused to mention anything like acting, and just said that the movie was made for entertainment.
"I just want to film some stories that I find very interesting and show them to my peers."
"I don't know if I have any acting skills, because we all perform in our true colors."
A female reporter asked Guo Xu: "Do you usually have this kind of personality? Rich expressions, often quarreling with little girls?"
Guo Xu pointed at Meghan. "Otherwise, why do you think I can get along so well with her, Avril Lavigne, Britney and others? And Shakur, his mental age is only 14 years old. Sean (Marion) estimates that his mental age is 10 years old. He I can watch cartoons for a day and play with remote control cars for a day.”
What Guo Xu said is true. Many adults have innocence throughout their lives. Some will show it and some will hide it.
The reporter asked: "Meghan, your performances in the movie are very natural, as if you have really lived together. Are you a couple?"
Meghan was not as natural as in the movie, showing an official fake smile. "Not yet, but I have always had a crush on him..."
This answer attracts the most attention and is good publicity. Guo Xu is much more famous than Megan. If it weren't for girls chasing boys, those little girls who like Guo Xu would probably be dissatisfied. This answer was agreed upon.
In her previous life, Meghan was the type who was very careless when speaking, and easily offended people because of her lack of brains. You had to have a good dialogue with her in advance. Personality is very important for a star.
The box office on the first day of the movie's release exceeded everyone's expectations. Guo Xu said that he hoped to reach more than 20 million in the first week. As a result, the box office in one day was 24 million US dollars. According to this momentum, it may exceed 50 million in the first week. , the total box office in North America easily exceeded 100 million.
A few film critics gave positive comments after watching the movie. Robert did not spend money to buy word-of-mouth. It was purely the quality of the film that convinced them.
"Jason Guo's performance makes it hard to imagine that he is an amateur actor. He is very relaxed in both dialogue and dancing.
It’s as if he is the young man in the movie who dreams of dancing. "
"Jason did a good job in showing the passion and sexiness that Latin dance should have in the film, just like a professional dancer. Although the plot is a bit dull, the series of processes in which the hero and heroine meet, get to know each other, and fall in love are very interesting. . Jason is not only a musician who was delayed by basketball, but also a comedian who was delayed by basketball."
Of course, critics gave it more negative reviews.
"It's a boring plot that made me fall asleep while watching it. The actors acted exaggeratedly and tried their best to pretend that I was funny."
"The plot is cliched and has nothing new. You can tell from the beginning that it will have a happy ending. People over the age of 20 cannot watch it."
"The so-called love in this movie is superficial, full of boring long shots of handsome guys and beautiful women, shabby performances by amateur actors, a protracted plot, exaggerated expressions and incoherent lines."
These critics all say the same thing, which is the cliché that the movie has no depth.
The depth they wanted to film was basically no box office, with joys and sorrows, the protagonist being tortured, crying, and dying after getting seriously ill. This kind of innovative movie will definitely not be watched by ordinary people going to the theater, but it is easy to win awards, whether it is Oscar or other film festivals.
Comedy is a movie that makes everyone happy. The plot of "The Innocence of a Dancer" is not stupid at all, and young audiences almost unanimously agreed. As for older people, they may not watch it, but they won’t be so bored that they post online to criticize the movie.
According to incomplete statistics, 75% of the viewers who follow "The Innocence of a Dancer" online are women, and 55% are under the age of 25. When the little girls excitedly walked out of the theater, it was only natural for film critics to throw out rotten eggs.
The next day the Suns played against the Clippers in an away game. Guo Xu received the warmest applause from the Los Angeles fans as soon as he came on the court. Someone on the sidelines shouted his name while holding a movie poster.
Guo Xu did not disappoint the fans who supported him. He scored a huge double-double of 38 points, 4 rebounds, 13 assists and 4 steals, and once again easily defeated Clippers point guard Jaric.
It was fun and relaxing to attend the premiere, and other Suns players also performed very well, performing many wonderful pass-cut coordination and dunks. They didn't regard the Clippers as a threat, and won the game just for fun, and it took until the last 3 minutes to seal the victory.
Due to a relaxed mentality, the Suns made a lot of mistakes, but they scored more wonderful goals, taking the top five goals of the day, all of which were alley-oop dunks. Guo Xu completed an alley-oop with his teammates during the counterattack, Joe Johnson passed the ball, and Guo Xu dunked with both hands.
The next day, the Suns defeated the Lakers again on the road, 105-85.
After Malone was injured, Kobe began to take on more offensive tasks, scoring 40 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, and 5 three-pointers. Unfortunately, his teammates performed poorly and entered garbage time early in the fourth quarter.
With Medvedenko as the starting power forward, the Lakers couldn't withstand the Suns' offense. His only specialty was the mid-range shot, and he couldn't catch a few passes.
Although the production period of Guo Xu's "The Innocence of a Dancer" was only two months, it became a super dark horse in its first week, with a box office of US$50.8 million, making it the best-performing movie in January.
All new films released in January generally performed poorly at the box office and were severely criticized by film critics. Guo Xu's new film made people's eyes shine, beating "Meet Polly" to become the box office champion.
"Meeting Polly" is a romantic comedy starring Ben Stiller and Jennifer Aniston. It is rated PG-13 for sex, drugs, foul language and indecent humor. In comparison, "The Innocence of a Dancer" is much cleaner.
Aniston has played a character in the popular TV series "Friends" for ten years, and it is difficult to make a breakthrough. After many twists and turns, Universal finally arranged the schedule of "Meet Polly" in mid-January. This is usually not a good sign, because in people's minds, January is the month when major film companies deal with those who really don't know what to do. Where to put the garbage piece of month.
As a result, in January when there was little competition, "Meet Polly" failed at the box office, and it was difficult to achieve the results of Guo Xu's previous life.
This pair of leading actors lost because they had no sense of connection. The male and female protagonists were swaying and couldn't create any sparks. Fans only came to see Rachel. Her appearance as a partner with the dull-faced Ben Stiller failed miserably, and there were not enough jokes. However, it only achieved a first-week performance of US$17.8 million, which was lower than expected.
In contrast, the combination of Guo Xu and Mei Mei is invincible in youth, and they can attract a group of young people to the theater just by looking at their faces.
Guo Xu's first starring movie not only defeated Rachel Green, but also ended "The Lord of the Rings"'s four consecutive weeks of dominating the North American box office rankings. "The Lord of the Rings: The Third" continued its strong box office for a month "Finally showed decline this week, falling to fifth place with $10.2 million.
Guo Xu's popularity in the entertainment industry is rising step by step. In just one week, the movie has made money...()
