Chapter 346 Disney Routine (1)
The North American release of "Hot Mom and Hot Girl" is scheduled for August 11th, so the premiere cannot be too early.
The reason why it was arranged at the end of the summer vacation is mainly because of the tacit understanding of all parties in the market downturn.
On May 5th, DreamWorks took the lead and launched the first shot of the summer file with "Gladiator";
On May 24th, Paramount launched "Mission: Impossible 2" during the prime time of the summer vacation, and the box office was crazy;
On June 30th, Warner released "The Perfect Storm" in the middle of the summer vacation;
And on July 21st, Dreamworks invested in "Dangerous" and finally met with you.
On the surface, these movies don't have much connection, but if you fish out all the big names in the film, and put "The Perfect Storm" star George Clooney with the previous "Bourne" , then you will find that these big-name movies are all related to the Jewish gang. In this way, based on the principle of not beating your own people, these competing movies are released two or three weeks apart, then it will be a success. the norm.
Although the Olsen sisters are not members of the Jewish gang, they are also included because of Roland's relationship. Under such circumstances, "Hot Mom and Hot Girls", which has a small investment, is naturally assigned to the end of the summer file.
If you were someone else, you might complain a few times because of this.
But to Roland, it doesn't matter whether it's May, June, July or August.
Because the pair of sisters are following the route of idols, and like him, they all rely on their faces for food.
Since this is the case, as long as you have a face, you are not afraid that the movie will not sell at the box office!
Of course, self-confidence does not mean conceited. When the world premiere ceremony was held in Los Angeles on August 9th, in addition to the main creative team, all the major media that had received bonuses also came in droves, such as "Variety Show", "Empire", More than a hundred reporters headed by "Hollywood Reporter", driven by money ability, packed the premiere red carpet to the brim. Those Mickey Mouse club stars bring publicity.
Well…
Well, Disney's official words are to help publicity, but in fact, these guys are no different from hype.
Take High Commander Ryan Gosling as an example. His "The Notebook" with Rachel McAdams is the real hit, but it's still early, and now he is just a fledgling rookie ;
Although the current sister and future mother Christina Aguilera sang the theme song "Reflection" of "Mulan" and won the Grammy Award for Best Newcomer this year, compared with the Olsen sisters, The heat is still a little lower;
Jia Tingting Justin Timberlake, his biggest achievement now is just getting Britney Spears;
And Britney Spears, the youngest female singer with a diamond record in history, is walking around the venue carefully with an autograph book at the moment, asking for autographs from the big names present...
"Oh! Ms. Foster! I absolutely love you in The Silence of the Lambs! Can you get me an autograph, please?"
"Mr. De Niro! I am looking forward to the "Meet Your Father-in-Law" that you and Stiller collaborated on. Could you please give me an autograph?"
"Jaquin! Joaquin! You play Commodus is so cool! Can you give me an autograph?"
The extremely excited and eager words made Xiao Tiantian gain the favor of the public, and at the same time she was satisfied, Roland, who heard the sound and watched, unexpectedly laughed when he saw the four people moving in a group.
"What's the matter?" Kate asked, holding his arm and greeting the acquaintances who came to join him.
"It's nothing, I just think Disney has a good vision." Roland shook his head.
"Disney has a good eye?"
Kate repeated Roland's words, and after she had a clear look at the appearance of the four, she agreed: "Yes, the four selected by the Disney Mickey Mouse Club are quite talented, if Disney relies on them to advance In the record industry, these four guys may make their performance soar all the way, maybe in a few years, the pattern of the record industry will be rewritten by them!"
hehe!
Roland pursed his lips, trying not to break the news to his mother-in-law, because when he said Disney had a good eye, he meant that Disney selected a group of mothers, not how talented they were!
The most typical example is Boss Jia Justin Timberlake. In 2004, during the halftime performance of the XXXVIII Super Bowl, Boss Jia collaborated with Michael Jackson’s sister Janet Jackson. At the end of the performance, Boss Jia and the other party posed When posing, she tore off the other person's bra, and then, Janet Jackson's spring was broadcast by CBS and spread all over the world.
This matter caused an uproar, and the two were rejected by the Grammys that year.
Not only that, they also became the number one searched list that year, and in 2007, Guinness World Records even awarded them the record certification of the world's number one online search.
Apart from him, the incidents of Chamo's *** and Britney being controlled by their parents have been going on for many years, and Commander Gao, because he didn't show the Stars and Stripes in "First Man", he was directly sprayed It became a distorted history, and the nation fell into the abyss.
It would not be a fuel-efficient lamp for these four guys to pick one at random, but what if they were brought together?
Then Disney is over!
Because wiping their butts can make my mind explode!
"Hey! What are you doing hiding here?"
Just as Roland was thinking about what kind of **** luck Disney had in order to not be dragged down by them when they selected the four of them, a wretched voice suddenly entered their ears.
Looking up, the truck driver was smirking at the two of them with his arms around Suzy Amis.
"What do you mean by hiding? James, what you said is really ugly!"
Roland looked disgusted, "This is my home stadium, isn't it normal for me to appear anywhere?"
"It's you, why didn't you invite me when you got married this year?"
Yes, James Cameron got married again this year, and the time was just two months ago on June 4th.
If they had followed the previous arrangement, they would have held a simple wedding in their hometown, and walked into the palace of marriage again amidst the blessings of relatives and friends. But not long after Roland left for Europe, he suddenly learned that the scale of the wedding scaled down.
Except for close relatives, no friends are invited. Because of this, Roland can only send blessings from a distance.
However, just as Roland pretended to question him, James Cameron beat him back.
"Didn't I suddenly hear that you are preparing for a wedding?"
"The scale is so big, no matter how I prepare, there is no bright spot!"
"Oh! So you are such a formalist!"
Roland dissed with a smile: "I really didn't see it before!"
"If not, then you definitely don't care about the feelings the form brings to her!"
The two parties did not hide when they communicated, so their words were naturally heard by the two ladies.
And after discovering the core of Roland's derogatory and secret praise, Susie Emiston, who played Ruth's granddaughter in "Titanic", smiled like a flower, and while actively leaning her head towards her husband, she also replied , "Then does this also prove that you love Kate very much? If not, why did you arrange the wedding on Kate's birthday?"
"Haha~Of course~" For such an association, Roland naturally accepted it brazenly.
But when he just turned his head and left a mark on Kate's red lips, proving his joy, James Cameron snorted deliberately and said: "Tch, you are wrong, I still Don't you know him? As a guy who hasn't had a birthday in the past ten years, isn't he being lazy by arranging his wedding anniversary on Kate's birthday?"
As soon as the words came out, Kate and Susie laughed.
Roland glared at the truck driver as if he had been poked into a sore spot.
"If I am kicked out of the house by Kate tonight, then don't think about it!"
The slightly reprimanded words made the truck driver tremble.
But in the next second, he was blowing his nose without holding back.
Such a situation caused Roland to show a smile with a snort. While giggling, he formally raised his hand and shook hands with the old man.
"Happy Newlyweds, James."
"Thank you, Roland."
After chatting briefly for a while, there was a call to enter the venue.
Finding her seat familiarly, when Roland sat down, Kate suddenly turned and asked in a low voice, "Is it true?"
"What?" Roland didn't react for a while.
"Is what James said true?" Kate emphasized again.
'Hold the grass...'
After realizing it, Roland smiled wryly. Although he knew in his heart that he arranged the wedding anniversary on Kate's birthday because he was afraid that his wife would target him if he forgot in the future, but how could he admit such a problem!
So, he shook his head and said, "Listen to his nonsense, I just can't remember my birthday."
‘Can’t remember your own birthday? Isn't your birthday January 1st? ’ Kate frowned suspiciously, but when she thought it through, she happily slapped Roland on the arm, "Get lost!"
While the two were whispering in low voices, the main creative team had already stepped onto the stage to give speeches.
The uninspired Mandarin clichés cooperated tacitly with the extras in the audience, and all the links were completed in less than ten minutes.
The scene gradually became quiet, and the lights dimmed accordingly. When the screen was turned on, the Disney logo with white letters on a blue background slowly appeared.
Like all Disney youth-oriented live-action movies, the movie directly cuts to the theme amid a piece of brisk music, and through the game of all parties when getting up in the morning, the relationship between single-parent families is even more clearly introduced.
When the alarm clock rings, the Olsen sisters play Anna trying to stay in bed, while Jodie Foster's mother wants her daughter to be disciplined, and the mother grows impatient with her daughter's behavior during the wake-up cycle , and at the end, she started directly, hoping to drag her daughter off the bed, while Anna, who wanted to fight, grabbed the head of the bed and refused to let go until her younger brother came to the fire with a trumpet, and was so annoyed by the noise that she couldn't bear it Only then did she get up violently and jumped out of the bed.
When the simple family conflicts are engraved in the audience's mind, the camera takes a turn. When the mother played by Jodie Foster sends the daughter played by the Olsen sisters to school, the ensuing campus relationship is also presented. in public.
As soon as Anna got out of the car, she met her rival who was wearing the same clothes as herself.
In the next second, the screen flashed, and Anna was complaining to her two buddies about the pain just now, venting her dissatisfaction. In just three sentences, she had already brought her extroverted character and masculine speech and behavior to the screen. .
If this kind of progress has been extremely fast, then when Anna went to the classroom, she met the male protagonist she liked again. After entering the classroom, she received another English test paper that was marked as F. When class was over, she went to the teacher to argue, but because the teacher felt that she was talking back, she was punished to go to the confinement room to calm down. When she went to the confinement room to eliminate the punishment, she had an unscrupulous conversation with the teacher in charge, which showed the mutual familiarity. come out.
When these plots were over, the movie was only played for five minutes.
That's right, that's how fast it is!
Not a trace of moisture!
In just 300 seconds, the audience has already seen Anna's ego and rebellion. She doesn't obey her mother's control, doesn't obey the teacher's teaching, has a bad relationship with her classmates in school, and is a frequent visitor to the confinement room...
This series of labels makes her a problem girl, and in the next five minutes, it magnifies this even more.
As soon as the camera turns, the psychiatrist mother is busy at work. Equipped with five mobile phones, she takes turns answering calls from different patients. Make it popular.
Because in physical education class, Anna, who was hit on the head by volleyball many times due to poor skills, retaliated against others, and was locked in the confinement room again. When she came out, she pretended to be innocent and communicated with the boy she liked. , Contradicting the teacher.
If it's just these, then forget it.
After returning home, when she found that her electric guitar had been taken out and struck by a brat, Anna retaliated even more viciously, wrapping the other's head in underwear and blindfolding her brother's eyes.
Don't care how the other party yells and begs for mercy, they don't pay attention.
Not only that, she also pretended to be innocent and went to the garage with her guitar to practice with her bandmates.
The point is, the practice is fine, but the noise that follows, the noisy mother can't communicate with her younger brother, the grandfather can only talk to everyone at the top of his voice, and when the stepfather yells to celebrate the sale of mother's books, Anna, who was practicing guitar in the garage, became more and more clear about her defiant image.
Later, when Mom forcefully turns off the power and forces them out—
The dispute between the two parties made the young people's ego and rebellion fill the entire screen.
It is no exaggeration to say that Anna at this moment is the representative of young people.
The spirit of the newborn calf not afraid of tigers makes people happy and disgusting.
The film critics sitting in the arena are also muttering—
"It seems that Disney hasn't made this kind of anti-type youth film for a long time."
"They make this kind of homeopathic thinking movie to please young audiences, but aren't they afraid of arousing dissatisfaction and retaliation from parents? This kind of tit-for-tat is afraid that it will teach children badly!"
"Hey! You don't have to worry too much about this. Which Disney movie is not a family carnival? Those without villains will end happily, and those with villains will definitely clean up and help the protagonist. Just wait and see, this is definitely Disney's reversal routine .”
Note: ①Jenny-Jackson and Boss Jia’s scandal finally became the fuse for opposing the Iraq war. Before the incident happened, there were strong anti-war voices in the United States. The anti-war voices passed, so at the end of the year, Janet Jackson blamed Bush for manipulating public opinion and covering up his atrocities. However, the public still trusted him, so Bush's re-election suffered a crisis. ②Gosling was boycotted because in "First Man on the Moon", he played Armstrong, who did not raise the Stars and Stripes after landing on the moon. He was accused of distorting history, and finally died suddenly at the box office. After all this, Jianguo also said that patriotic education should be strengthened. Isn't free speech the free speech of capital?
