[US Entertainment] 1994

Time flies and it is June. The hotter temperature makes Josh decisively abandon the shirt and put on a comfortable and breathable cotton T-shirt. Even if he participates in promotional activities, he will occasionally wear T-shirts, red, blue, white, and black. , printed with Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse... Arnold couldn't help but tease him: "Are these clothes you found in a children's clothing store?"

Josh glanced at the manager triumphantly: "It's a symbol of youth, an old man like you won't understand."

Mr. Broker: "Hehe."

For the sake of a certain guy's busy life recently, as a kind manager, he decided to endure it for a second, so as not to irritate this guy by calling him a little boy!

Although Mr. Manager deeply felt that Josh's current behavior was no different from that of a little boy, and only a guy with unique taste like Carlos Ross could stand him.

June 6 happened to be a Friday. On that day, all the crew members of "Speed" gathered at a local movie theater in Los Angeles to participate in the premiere of the film.

Josh finally ditched his cartoon T-shirt and chose a light blue shirt with blue jeans. He looked young and energetic, like a high school student who just graduated.He originally planned to wear the outfit in the movie, but in the eyes of Mr. Agent, the vest was too plain.

"In the movie you have a cropped head, but now you are not. Only a cropped crop top looks best with a vest."

Josh was convinced.

As Jane de Bont's first electric shock work, the premiere of "Speed" is naturally not as grand as "Schindler's List", only a simple interview was conducted, and the creators interacted and chatted with the audience Just some fun stuff that happened during filming.Even the small-scale release of the film is omitted. After the premiere event, the film will be released simultaneously in 2169 theaters across the United States.

Among the films released on the same day, the biggest competitor of "Speed" is undoubtedly "City Hillbilly 2" starring Billy Crystal. In addition, the animated film "The Flintstones", which was released for 2243 weeks, is also strong. The total box office performance in the first two weeks has reached 2 million US dollars, and it is one of the strong contenders for this year's North American box office year-end list.

The number of theaters for "The Flintstones" has reached more than 2550.

In addition to "The Flintstones", "The Gambler Ma Huali" starring Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster also has more than 2500 theaters. Among all the films, "Speed" has the least film schedule, but considering the popularity of the director, actors, production team, and script, Twentieth Century Fox has done its best to be able to tear off so many films in the highly competitive summer file. to the max.

In the red carpet segment, as soon as Josh stepped on the red carpet, the girls cheered and cheered in his ears. When Josh raised his hand and showed them a big heart, the sudden screams could tear apart sky!

"Josh! We'll have your back!"

"Josh, tell me what's the secret of your handsomeness?"

"Josh, I want to give birth to you!"

"..."

After the screams and roars gradually subsided, someone shouted Josh's name loudly on the red carpet. This shout seemed to ignite the emotions of the fans, and they followed behind desperately shouting Josh's name, Even if the voice is hoarse, he doesn't care.

Josh waved his hands vigorously.

The time for the red carpet is undoubtedly short. Even with the host’s time to introduce the film, the premiere of "Speed" is only over an hour. After the premiere, the film will officially start. Only this theater will screen the film that night There were 6 shows in the show, and Josh and the others had just sat down when the lights in the auditorium went out.

The familiar logo of Twentieth Century Fox slowly looms on the screen.

Although most viewers have seen the trailer of "Speed" and know that it is an exciting action movie, they still don't know what style the movie is and what story it tells.After all, from the image point of view, it is difficult for most audiences to associate Josh with the leading actor of an action movie.

When Josh's face appeared on the screen for the first time, there was a sudden gasp in the quiet auditorium, which soon turned into rustling conversations.

"So handsome! God, I'm obsessed!"

"Josh was so manly and so sunny. I always thought he was better at playing that kind of cold and perverted role, the kind that makes people's legs go weak when he opens his mouth..."

"Look at his muscles, look at his firm eyes, serious men are indeed the most handsome."

"Josh didn't show his flesh in "Scent of a Woman" and "Schindler's List", so I didn't know he had such a good figure..."

"If my boyfriend can have this figure, I would marry him without thinking about it when he proposed last time."

"..."

Female audiences are more concerned about the handsome male protagonist. When male audiences curl their lips to express their speechlessness to these superficial women, they are unconsciously attracted by the plot of the movie.

The setting that the gun is bundled with the bus is very novel to most viewers. What is even more amazing is that the kidnappers did not simply set up a gun that could explode immediately, but put a bus full of people The fate of the car is closely linked with the speed of the bus.

"Wow! Impossible, right? If someone told me there was a bomb installed under my car, I would jump out of the car and run away."

"Dude, you're going to break your leg like this, don't you see? As soon as a passenger gets out of the car, the car will explode in no time."

"That road is very congested. It's hard to maintain a speed of more than 50 kilometers! If the protagonist can really save the lives of a carload of people, I think he is awesome, but if the scriptwriter only intends to find a perfunctory reason to fool us, the plot will be round. If you don’t come back, the whole movie will be ruined, it’s better not to have such a setting.”

As Jack struggled to climb onto the bus, the audience covered their mouths and showed expressions of horror.

Josh couldn't help showing a smile.

At that time, in order to film this scene, he was dragged by a car for several kilometers, and the toes of his shoes were almost worn out, but judging from the effect of the movie, his efforts were still valuable.

After Jack got on the bus, a passenger on the bus thought that Jack was here to catch him, and in agitation he shot and wounded the driver.

"Oh my God, what the hell is this!"

But to the audience's surprise, although "Speed" is an adrenaline-inducing movie, the atmosphere of the movie is very relaxed, and the situation is obviously not that bad-especially when Annie sits in the cab and expresses herself because of After speeding, the driver's license was deducted and he could only take the bus to work.

In this way, the fate of more than a dozen passengers was connected with a bus.

At the beginning of the movie, the audience can still maintain a happy mood. However, as the story gradually deepens, everyone shuts their mouths, and their expressions fluctuate with the plot.

They seemed to be the passengers in the bus, anxious, panicked, but helpless. When a passenger insisted on getting off the bus, the audience at the scene showed even more anxiety-they could understand the passenger's mood, But in my heart I couldn't help cursing fiercely:

"Idiot, if you get out of the car, everyone in the car will die!"

The expected big bang did not happen in the end, and the hearts of all the audience immediately fell back to the original place.

Just when the bus was stumbling on the road, suddenly, a bigger problem appeared. There was a 50-foot deep ditch in front of the road. No matter how well-mannered the audience was, they couldn’t help but curse at this time:

"How long is this going to embarrass them?"

What shocked them even more was that the bus actually, actually crossed the gap!

At the moment when the bus flew into the air and crossed the gap, there was a sudden burst of applause in the theater, and the audience couldn't help applauding vigorously while pressing their hearts.

Finally, Jack discovered the monitor installed on the car. He used the news car to cut off the image and played the picture on the car repeatedly, finally saving the lives of all the people in the car.

But the villain Payne finally discovered Jack's plot, and he hijacked Annie in a fit of anger. Jack could only stage the heroic rescue of the beauty again, and a pair of lovers kissed together forgetfully.

"Wow!"

The moment the movie ended, all the audience stood up at the same time and gave the movie the warmest applause.

From the very beginning, the movie attracted everyone's attention with its unique setting. During the screening, Jack stopped the car and chased the bus. The bus driver was injured. Get off the bus, the speed of the bus is almost lower than 50 kilometers per hour, cross the gap, all the passengers are rescued, the bus crashes into the plane...

It can be said that the movie "Speed" does not only include thrilling scenes. The scenes of the bus flying high into the sky and crashing into the plane are undoubtedly eye-catching, but what matches these pictures is Jack's fearless courage to board the bus to save people. , the hardships of climbing the bus, the courageous Anne drove the bus without any danger...

All the scenes left a deep impression on the audience.

This bus is like a video recorder, recording the clearest state of everyone facing death.

Some people fear and panic, some cry silently, some miss their wives and children, some don't want their lives to be ruined in vain...

As the "Hollywood Reporter" said in the film review, "The speed of life and death not only represents the speed of the car, but also represents that all the characters in this movie are racing against death. gained life."

"There is no doubt that judging from the performance of "Speed", it is the best action movie in this summer's file. Josh Walter has no sense of jerky at the beginning, showing Jack's fearlessness and bravery to the fullest. Character The lively and bold Annie took on the heavy responsibility of the bus driver. The personality completely different from Jack undoubtedly added a lot of jokes to the movie. The most surprising thing is the setting of the movie itself. A thrilling journey of life and death."

"The film's control of the rhythm is extremely sophisticated. After a short period of calm, there are often turbulent waves. After the waves pass, greater thrills follow. The audience's mood is like a roller coaster. The plot is pulled by the plot, wave after wave, It’s only at the end of the show that you can truly calm down.”

"In terms of the distribution of the plot, "Speed" is not like a new work. The relationship between Jack and Anne, the psychological state of the bus passengers and the exciting and thrilling plot, together with the exciting and thrilling plot, well buffer the tension that the movie brings to the audience. This movie not only has Jack's personal heroism, but also shows the true state of mind of every ordinary person when facing danger."

"A male passenger thought of his wife and children, and another male passenger answered him, 'Do I deserve to die because I'm single?' This sentence impressed me deeply. In front of life, all people are equal. ,Without exception."

"Hollywood Reporter" scored 9 points for "Speed", and the missing 1 point was in the last scene where Pei En kidnapped Annie. In the eyes of this professional media, this plot was a bit abrupt and deliberate, which destroyed the overall smoothness of the movie. .
