[American Entertainment] Bright life

Before talking about the papers published by Grace, I have to mention the status of the American "Science" magazine in the academic world.

"Science" magazine in the United States is an internationally renowned comprehensive academic journal of natural science. The magazine mainly publishes original scientific achievements, news and reviews. Many important scientific reports in the world first appeared in "Science" magazine.In addition, there are 51 issues of "Science" magazine throughout the year, with a global circulation of more than 150 million copies. Each issue of "Science" magazine is not aimed at ordinary readers, and about a quarter of it will be issued to the world Major libraries, research institutes and famous schools for their collection and borrowing.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that it and the British "Nature" magazine are known as the two top natural science journals in the world, and their influence can be said to be world-class.

Originally, the competition to publish a paper in the "Science" magazine was fierce, not to mention that Grace's paper indirectly included academia, Hollywood, which had nothing to do with the wind, and even a combination of animation and real people. Based on the fact that the main characters come from the fairy tale land and then enter the real world through so-called magic, it has been concluded that its unscientific and logical romantic comedy movies are combined.

This has caused, after the latest issue of "Science" magazine was released, it has caused a lot of repercussions in the academic world, and then waited until the conscientious journalists in Hollywood used unusually novel strokes to connect the two things together After the report was made, it was fed back to the academic circle, and then it caused an uproar all over the world.

How should I put it, this feeling is so... novel!

The research of scientists pays attention to the authenticity of inspiration, but I have never heard of any research by scientists who got their inspiration from a movie based on an unscientific fairy tale. This seems to be a paradox in itself.

The above is for academia.

As far as Hollywood is concerned, first of all, they have never encountered any actor or behind-the-scenes staff who would write a paper published in a world-class top natural science journal based on the film they participated in. , so it was the first time ever.

However, Hollywood's follow-up reaction was much faster than the follow-up reaction of the academic world. After confirming the authenticity of this incident and digesting this "first time", they all expressed their joy and felt that this was a great honor for Hollywood. one thing.Well, not only Hollywood, but also the British film industry "sent a congratulatory telegram". Here we will not mention their true or false complaints about why Grace did not publish this paper in the British "Nature" magazine.

In short, the film industry is very honorable.

Let's talk about the follow-up reaction of the academic circles. They were not very good at first, but they were confused by the overwhelming reports in the film industry, and many scholars frowned. When writing the thesis, I felt conflict and resentment in my heart.They think that the American "Science" magazine has lowered its own style so much that it deserves to be the world's top natural science magazine.

In fact, this is also very normal, there has always been a lot of high-minded and arrogant people among scholars.

Regarding such indiscriminate remarks, the editor-in-chief of the American "Science" magazine Donald Conedy said in his column: "From a logical point of view, first of all, Dr. Grace Green published in "Science", is a An academic paper with great scientific research value. Secondly, the inspiration for this academic paper came from a Hollywood movie starring Dr. Interested in this movie."

Translate: Hurry up and subscribe to this issue of Science magazine, read Dr. Green's paper and then go crazy, and hurry up and buy Enchanted movie tickets.

In fact, without the voice of Editor-in-Chief Conedi, the mainstream of the academic world still looks at the whole matter rationally, and as Editor-in-Chief Conedi said, the nature of the publication in Science is still an academic paper. It's not some Hollywood lace news.Therefore, after reading the papers written by Dr. Grace Green with a correct attitude towards academic papers, naturally there will be no doubts about the "style" of "Science" magazine.

Grace's thesis, from a biological point of view, expounds the possibility and feasibility of human beings to communicate with animals and drive animals to be used by humans.

——There will be such a subject, which is naturally inspired by the fact that Giselle can communicate with animals through singing in "Magic Romance", and let them help her with housework.In fact, there is no positive mention of "Enchanted Romance" in the whole paper, but who made the timing of its publication so coincidental.

Throughout the full text, there is not much knowledge about the majors (mathematics, psychology, chemistry, and philosophy) that Grace obtained her degree, but more about zoology, entomology, and neurobiology in the field of zoology in biology .

Zoology and entomology are well understood. Grace believes that the most ideal animal choice is ants. In terms of the organization and division of labor of the entire ant, it is cross-compared with other ideal animal choices; as for neurobiology, as information reception Station and processor, the requirements on the human brain are actually very high.Take Giselle in "Enchanted" as an example. She can communicate with several kinds of animals at the same time, even hundreds of animals in number. This kind of thing only appears in movies and TV shows. , the brain will receive too much information rigidly at the same time, resulting in too much "loading" of the brain, which will lead to brain collapse.

So, in general, this is an academic paper with an idealized nature and has not been practiced.Of course, if it is practiced, such a valuable paper will not be published.

However, idealization is idealization, but it cannot be denied that this is the scientific research value of the paper.After all, with the development and progress of science and technology, no one can be sure that this idealized concept will not be realized in ten or twenty years, right?

Besides, many arguments in the scientific research community are also based on scientists' utopian ideas and theoretical support.

Therefore, in the end, academic biologists affirmed Grace's thesis, and believed that Dr. Grace Green has a lot of accomplishments in biology, please carefully consider developing in this direction.

Hey, it seems that Grace also made a "crossover" in the academic world.

Indeed, given that Grace's main majors at Oxford University were mathematics and psychology.

After reaching such a conclusion, the biology students in the Grace Book Fan Forum burst into tears.

Mathematics majors and psychology majors just watched quietly and didn't speak.Perhaps you have to add chemistry majors and philosophy majors, Grace has a bachelor's degree in these two majors, which can be regarded as "by-products" of pursuing a doctorate in mathematics and a doctorate in psychology.

It can only be said that this is a story mixed with laughter and tears.

Outside the book fan forum, the atmosphere became much more lively. After this incident, many passers-by became fans, and their expectations for the movie "Enchanted" also rose.

Under the circumstances of such a "right time, place and people", the midnight show on November 11 (Tuesday), plus the large-scale screenings in 20 theaters in North America from November 11, until November 21 (Sunday), "Enchanted" has grossed nearly 3730 million U.S. dollars at the box office, among which the box office of the first and last three days exceeded 11 million U.S. dollars, and it is no surprise that it became the top of the weekend box office list in North America.

Even if the box office of "This Christmas", "Killer 47" and "August Love" is not very competitive among the new movies released this week, the box office of the first weekend of 100 million is also in the vertical November box office. Arranged to a more impressive noun.

If that comparison wasn't specific enough, Disney's opening-weekend forecast for Enchanted was $3000-$900 million before Grace's thesis was published.In other words, the actual box office today is a full $[-] million higher than expected.

Not only that, word of mouth did not plunge due to the substantial increase in the number of movie viewers, and the overall score of "Enchanted" on IMDB is still above 75 points.

Having said that, I have to mention one...interesting thing.

IMDB, Internet Movie Database is an online database about movie actors, movies, TV shows, TV stars, and movie productions. IMDB information includes a lot of information about the film, actors, film length, content introduction, ratings, reviews, etc.IMDB is the most used rating for movies at present. This is a gathering place for movie lovers. When rating movies, registered users mostly evaluate movies from the aspects of plot setting, performance of actors, director's level, etc. Make an evaluation.

Interestingly, in the evaluation section of "Magic Romance", there are some newly registered users who give evaluations that they can't understand at first glance, but they are still full of technical terms. To put it bluntly, they are the impressions of scientists , I don’t know how they came to IMDB to post their impressions.

This equally unique film review naturally received a lot of attention. The Los Angeles Times, Variety and other newspapers also mentioned this matter in a joking tone in their follow-up reports on "Magic Romance", and claimed that "Dr. Hollywood brings a different kind of breeze."

This kind of development, not to mention other people, Disney is really happy. Therefore, although it is regrettable that Grace will not participate in other promotional activities, it is not forced. As a production and distribution company, do you know how to be content and happy? .

Of course, behind this, Grace's unique and very powerful publicity method is the first; the big capitalist standing behind Grace is the second; and "Magic Romance" is a big hit at the box office. According to the feedback, the follow-up is still very strong, which is enough to see Grace’s box office appeal—although there is only one movie, and there is no more data for box office appeal, but this one can also see Grace’s potential—plus her popularity is skyrocketing now, a supernova It's rising slowly, and after all, it's too late for Disney to win over Grace. Naturally, it won't be against Grace because of such unimportant things as publicity.

However, Sterling has received more invitations for talk shows, magazine interviews and cover shoots, and advertisers have also approached him.

Speaking of Hollywood, in the income of stars, the proportion of remuneration in the total income is actually not high, unless you are super A-list like Tom Cruise, George Clooney, Julia Roberts, not only He can receive a high salary, box office dividends, and even DVD sales. Like Tom Cruise, he just collected nearly 3 million US dollars for "Mission: Impossible [-]".More sources of income for actors are actually advertising endorsements, magazine cover shooting and other work outside of filming.

Sterling felt that Grace would not be interested in these things. As Grace's agent, Sterling would not get the corresponding share, so when signing the contract, he assigned the agency right of Grace's book publishing affairs to his hands. Once the decision was made, it couldn't be more sensible-as Grace became more and more popular, not only the box office hit of "Enchanted" starring her, but also the sales of professional books written by her surged, even if the fans who bought them couldn't read them. can read.

In this way, let Grace focus on making movies and advance as soon as possible.

Speaking of which, Sterling has now finally figured out what Grace did in the audition for "Suspected Child Abuse": "Suspected Child Abuse" is a church sex scandal directed at the clergy who sexually abused believers, involving When it comes to religious beliefs, not to mention that the originally invited role of Grace is a nun, and Grace has no religious beliefs at all, so she broke up with director John Patrick Stanley after a disagreement.

For such a reason, Sterling thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of a rebuttal.

It's a pity that it's broken. Although Sterling thinks it's a pity, he still doesn't lack the script at hand, and "Growth Education" has already been contacted.There is also a new 007 series filmed by Sterling who is not very in favor of Grace. Daniel Craig, who played the sixth Bond, will play Bond for the second time in the sequel to "007 Battle Casino Royale".

Sterling was about to write down the story when his office phone rang.Sterling got through, and unexpectedly, the caller turned out to be Director Stanley. He came to inquire about Grace's schedule, which obviously meant that he wanted Grace to appear in "Suspicious Child Abuse".

Sterling: "...?" What if they broke up after a disagreement?
