[American Entertainment] Bright life

"Quantum of Solace" was released globally from Europe to other regions, and then surrounded North America. Specifically, "Quantum of Solace" was released in European countries on October 2008, 10, in South America and Africa. It will be one week after the release time in Asia and other places, that is, November 31th. When it is the turn of North America, it will be two weeks after the release in Europe, that is, November 11th.

This seems to be different from the release pattern of other movies, but this does not affect "Quantum of Solace" has become a big-budget movie that has attracted much attention this year, especially when the economic crisis affects all walks of life around the world.

As Grace's agent, Sterling is not sure whether the economic crisis is a good one or not.

Before the box office of "Quantum of Solace" came out on the first day in the UK, Sterling didn't think so. He could only say that the box office on the first day of Friday was US$850 million, which was the first day of the box office on Friday in the UK. The box office has given Sterling a shot in the arm. Even if there are some annoying professional film critics in European countries, they can't stop Sterling from flying into the air.

Yes, although the evaluation of "Quantum of Solace" in Europe is far from being polarized, how can I say that it has received most of the good reviews, and there are no excessive reviews. It is directly the opposite of positive reviews.

Let me talk about the base camp of 007, the United Kingdom.

As I said before, the British media is the most powerful media in the world, and it also has the characteristics of "protecting weaknesses" and "meanness". This time it will fully demonstrate these characteristics.

As an authoritative film magazine with a certain status in the world, "Empire", this time it is still its editor-in-chief Kevin Davis, who is Grace's number one fan in the film critic circle, and writes film reviews this time.Remember that when he wrote a film review for "Atonement", he started from Brioni played by Grace and wrote an article from a different angle, but in the end he still intended to praise Grace's film review?This time he did it anyway.

"Empire"'s review title of "Quantum of Solace" is "a new 007 movie that is different but keeps pace with the times". He mentioned in the review: "From the last "Casino Royale", people began to watch When it comes to Bond, who is very different from the suave, elegant and handsome zero-level agents in the past, he is no longer surrounded by thousands of flowers, and he is no longer omnipotent. He has become flesh and blood. Of course, as a The excellent zero-level agent, slightly anti-social personality and flawed moral standards have not changed. Generally speaking, this kind of Bond has become more human from the original with a little divinity. , This is a good change. This can be seen from the 007 fans' interpretation of Daniel Craig, from the opposition at the beginning to the gradual increase in acceptance now."

"The changes in "Quantum of Solace" are far more than 007's character design. There is also one thing that surprised me and then surprised me, that is, the villain's setting. It is not an exaggeration to say that the final villain this time The IQ is on the line, not only on the line, but also far beyond the normal level. Although some people think that this breaks the myth of 007's invincibility, I think it makes the whole movie more exciting. It is reasonable.

I won’t do any spoilers here, I just want to say that if “Quantum of Solace” is not set up like this, then to put it bluntly, it will only become a Samsung film made with five-star equipment. Super movies - tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away. "

"Finally, in terms of actors, Dr. Grace Green is the biggest highlight of this film. Her performance deserves a few more trips to the cinema."

——Kevin Davis seems to be less tactful this time. Is his last sentence calling on fans to contribute to the box office of "Quantum of Solace"? ...looks like it is.

Except for "Empire", the British media generally gave moderate and high praise this time. For example, another authoritative British film magazine "Complete Movie" said: "The plot is unexpectedly compact and interesting, which is better than the last "Casino Royale". " is much more engaging."

In terms of actors, "Complete Movie" told the truth: "Mr. Bond does not have the heroism and charm of a Bond girl in this movie."

"The Guardian" said: "This is a movie that has a magical twist accidentally, but after you think about it, you will find that the screenwriter made a beautiful twist."

"Mirror"'s overall evaluation of "Quantum of Solace" is, "A movie that is more exciting than expected. The concept is worth aftertaste. In terms of the performance of the actors, Dr. Grace Green is the most amazing." After reading the film review of "Quantum of Solace", "Mirror" also mentioned the Aston Martin Rapide that Grace drove at the world premiere, and guessed whether Aston Martin would invite the most famous car in film history. 'Handsome' Bond girl endorsement.

In fact, there is no need for the "Mirror" to specifically mention it. People have already noticed this while paying attention to "Quantum of Solace", okay?No matter whether it is a movie magazine, a newspaper, or a news website, most of the pictures are Grace wearing a white suit and walking down from the Aston Martin Rapide, stunning the red carpet pictures, even Prince William and Prince Harry When meeting the photos of the main creators of the crew, you have to step back.

Who made Prince William and Prince Harry so close to the people? There are so many photos taken by the British media every year, but there are very few photos of Grace’s face—that’s why it’s better to give Prince William and Prince Harry face.As a genuine British royal family, a man of noble status can't compare to a girl in other people's all-male charm. This kind of thing can be kept as a secret that everyone knows, so there is no need to pierce the last layer of window screens, right? ?

Speaking of pictures, there is one more thing to mention, and that is the wonderful "Sun" in the British newspaper industry. Throwing a picture at the readers": They put the picture of the chapter where Grace looked back under the bright lights and the solitude of the people in the headlines, and then... It's gone, readers are asked to make up their own minds.

— This issue of The Sun is selling extremely well.

Now let’s talk about the serious reports. In addition to the media such as "Empire", "Complete Film" magazine, "Mirror" and "Guardian" newspapers, etc., "Quantum of Solace" has also received Bad reviews.

For example, "Times Online" said: "Only part of the positive energy brought by the 007 series has been seen in this movie, and at the end of the movie, it completely violated the original intention of the 007 series. Bring any positive energy."

It can only be said that such bad reviews are completely online, and then they were slapped in the face by the box office of "Quantum of Solace" on the first day.

In addition to the British media, film critics from other European countries also have negative comments like "Time Online" that completely disagree with it. Who made "Quantum of Solace" fail to achieve justice and complete justice in the confrontation between justice and darkness? Overcome the darkness.

However, what about the bad reviews, it can't stop fans from admiring the new 007 series of movies, and they gave a lot of praise to the setting of the hidden villain.This is the difference between movie fans and professional film critics. Think about it, many fans of the 007 series can accept that Mr. Bond has turned into Miss Bond. What can't be accepted for such a high-IQ Bond girl.Not only can it be accepted, but the acceptance rate is quite high.

——To be honest, in the first four or 10 minutes of the movie, I was supported by Dr. Green's appearance and acting skills, and then I felt particularly disappointed in my heart, but after watching it, I found out, eh, how does it seem wrong?As a result... the whole feeling is like going to eat French cuisine, but it turns out to be looking up at the starry sky. In the end, after recollection, it is really French cuisine. You can understand this. Pie means.

——What’s wrong with Stargazing School, what’s wrong?I think it's pretty...tasty.

—Are we talking about Quantum of Solace?

——It is true that I have taken the roller coaster a few times, and I feel so good after it is over, it is worth going again.

—Can’t we use metaphors?Let's just say that "Quantum of Solace" does not follow the routine and plays its cards well, and it will be fine if it doesn't.

——Who said that "Quantum of Solace" did not follow the usual routine? When I went to the cinema to watch it for the second time, I completely regarded Camille played by Dr. Green as Miss Bond, and Craig played the role of Miss Bond. Mr. Bond is regarded as the villain, so as long as the plot goes smoothly, there will be no sense of disobedience at all.

——Although the upstairs provided a new way of thinking, it doesn't sound like Camille is an underground conspirator at all, it sounds so touching!

——+1

——+2

……

——+ social security number, and I think there will be such an effect, thanks to Dr. Green playing Camille.Under the clues that are not so obvious in the script, everyone will think that Camille is a hidden villain, or it is due to the characteristics of Dr. Green. In real life, she is not at all disobedient as an underground conspirator.

——And the script, this time the script is clearly upscale.

——American movie fans are looking at you, why is "Quantum of Solace" released on November 11th!

——You can come to England to see it, and the Stargazers welcome you.

—I have to think about it.

——Upstairs Upstairs You should say this to the upstairs: 'Bring your hamburger, bring your Coke, and come to England. '

——British cuisine is already crying.

In any case, the word-of-mouth and popularity of "Quantum of Solace" is overwhelming, and the most direct reaction is reflected in the box office. In the three days of the first weekend in the UK, the box office of "Quantum of Solace" was 800 million U.S. dollars, surpassing the box office of "Harry Solace". Potter and the Goblet of Fire set a new box office record with a $400 million opening weekend. It also won nine top weekends in other European countries and broke three first weekend records. The box office of "Quantum of Solace" was not affected by the economic crisis.

It's just that fans in North America are not very happy, so... bear with it.

In this way, MGM may look forward to waiting until November 11, when "Quantum of Solace" is released in North America and the box office blows out.

……

The popularity of "Quantum of Solace" has not only brought Grace another rise in popularity, but also many substantive things, such as Aston Martin's endorsement, and Columbia Pictures' initiative An olive branch thrown over.

Leaving aside the former, the latter involves the original spy war script that Sterling had a crush on, with a female character as the absolute protagonist. At that time, Columbia Pictures took a fancy to Angelina Jolie, and Angelina Jolie Julie also wanted a blockbuster work that would boost and stabilize her popularity after she gave birth, and both parties had contact.

Sterling is not very clear about what happened here, but after "Quantum of Solace" was released in Europe, Columbia Pictures took the initiative to contact Sterling. Speaking of which, Columbia Pictures is also the owner of "Quantum of Solace" As one of the publishers, they naturally get feedback relatively quickly.But now Sterling has to keep silent about this olive branch.Come on, his client, Dr. Grace Green, has no idea about this, okay?

Sterling came to Grace excitedly today, mainly because of Aston Martin's endorsement. This can be classified as intuition, the intuition that Grace will take over the endorsement.

——Mr. Manager has been reduced to relying on intuition to eat, it's really not easy.

When Sterling arrived in Beverly Hills, he didn't see Grace in the living room, but instead saw a blonde beauty.

"Hi, I'm Doris." Her accent carried the same southern European style as her appearance.

Sterling: "...Dr. Green, can we stop playing! Are you going out?"

The blond beauty returned to her original accent the next moment, and Grace said truthfully: "Mark is coming to Los Angeles, and this session of the Psychology Symposium will be held in Pasadena."

Sterling first reflected who Mark was, the CEO of Facebook, and then thought that he was a psychology major at Harvard University, and then thought about the relationship between Grace's words, and asked stiffly: "That's the same as your dress?" Does it matter like this?"

Grace said confidently, "Because we made a bet."

"Because you made a bet," Sterling repeated in such a good voice, and then became expressionless, "Is your combined mental age more than ten years old, Dr. Green?" Only one step away from madmen?

That's what he said, but Sterling couldn't stop him, he just looked at Grace helplessly, no, it was 'Doris' who just walked out like that.For some reason, Sterling had a bad premonition inexplicably.
