Chapter 727 Proof of Value

The short section at the beginning of the film mainly shows Tom Cruise acting cool and watching how he picks up girls.

Then came Michelle Pfeiffer, who, needless to say, was Hollywood's first generation blonde sweetheart. The two of them are in the same frame, which is a joy to watch, and the pace of the opening chapter is also very brisk.

Follow up to reveal the condition.

"She was in a car accident and suffered from a form of short-term memory loss. When the sun came up the next day, she would forget everything about the previous day."

"How long has she been like this?"

"100 days!"

The heroine's father spread his hands and said helplessly: "I have celebrated my 60th birthday 100 times."

The heroine's car accident happened to be her father's birthday, so her memory will always stay on that day. She does the same thing every day: going to a cafe in the morning, buying gifts at noon, and going home in the afternoon to secretly paint the garage wall into a pattern that her father likes. , I made a cake for my father in the evening to celebrate his birthday.

Finally, the whole family watched a video of "Ghostbusters" - produced by Columbia.

And the family is doing the same thing: putting up old newspapers and calendars every day, and secretly painting the walls back late at night so that the heroine can paint them again. Dad should pretend to be surprised to receive gifts, eat cake, and watch the video that he has watched 100 times...—

The male protagonist is determined to help the female protagonist and begins to create different encounter scenes every day, even pretending to be kidnapped.

Tom Cruise is the Hollywood version of Andy Lau. He has done nothing else in his life and only cared about being an actor, but that will come later.

Now he is still young. For most actors, the time when they are young is often the time when they are most open-minded. When they become big stars, they cannot be free--except for people like Liang Jiahui.

So now Tom Cruise has no baggage, rolling around on the ground and yelling.

"Hahaha!"

"Ha ha!"

There was cheerful laughter in the theater, obviously not rejecting these routines from later generations.

In daily contact, the male protagonist discovered the girl's colorful side and fell in love with her unconsciously. He believed that her family's attitude was very negative and he should take her for active treatment.

During this period, there were some routines of joys and sorrows, crying and laughing.

Final scene:

When Michelle Pfeiffer woke up from her sleep, she first saw a strange videotape, which recorded every day of their love, and they got married in the presence of family and friends.

She opened the curtains, and outside was the blue sea and blue sky, and she was actually on a ship - the male protagonist's dream was to go to the ocean.

And she boarded the deck and found that all her relatives were here, and she also had a well-behaved and lovely daughter.

""OH! "

This scene pierced the heart and lungs, and the audience, especially the female audience, were all moved.

When the film ended, the audience burst into applause and lasted for a long time.

Tom Cruise and Michelle Pfeiffer looked at each other, both surprised, "Fifty First Dates" is a small film,

It's just a routine thing, I don't think it will achieve much. So far, the response from the audience has been very good.

"Since entering the post-Hollywood era, directors no longer make romantic movies. I once thought we would lose love in movies, leaving only Rambo, 007, ET and Indiana Jones. Fortunately, "First Love 5" "Ten Times" shows all the qualities a romance film should have! ”

"A very cute fairy tale movie. The setting is very innovative and the details are meticulous and thoughtful. It doesn't feel rigid and has a smooth and pleasant viewing experience."

"The poor girl was trapped in the reincarnation of a certain day, but with the company of her lover and family, she got out of this day and her life could continue. This is what touched me the most, although I can't imagine that she is How to give birth to a child."

"I noticed that the screenwriter of this film is the amazing Chinese who won an Oscar for "Life is Beautiful". He came up with a commercial film based on the standard Hollywood template, which surprised me.

But it's a pity. I think "Fifty First Dates" is full of absurdity and whimsy. I give it two stars this time! "

This guy is, of course, Roger Ebert.

"Fifty First Dates" had a small budget, insufficient publicity, and low attendance at its premiere. However, thanks to the good reputation from the media and film critics, as well as the two-choice situation at this time, it still attracted a lot of viewers.

"Honey, shall we go see "Cocoon"?"

"I don't want to see some old guys being taken away by aliens! I heard Fifty First Dates is great."

"Okay, okay, let's go see this."

"Wow, the heroine in it is so beautiful!"

From "Roman Holiday" to "Pretty Woman," such light comedies and romances will never lack audiences in any era.

The future generations are different, what kind of "Fifty Shades of Grey" are they playing? It's a good thing that this film was made before LGBT, otherwise it would have been a fight between transgender people and transgender people.

When "Fifty First Dates" was released for one week, it easily reached a box office of 28 million, and the final target is expected to be 6,000

Between 10,000 and 70 million, Colombia’s celebration banquet was held again.

Price couldn't close his mouth with laughter and said: "20th Century Fox has the earliest contact with the Chinese and has the deepest relationship. They were not willing to buy a story and gave it to us for free!"

"They were acquired by Rupert Murdoch, and the internal personnel adjustments were so messed up that they may not have time to take care of it."

"Actually, I didn't expect this movie to have such success!"

Price told the truth, with the size of the current U.S. market, 60 million to 70 million would be able to squeeze into the top ten.

And their previous estimate was that it would be great if 50 First Dates could reach 40 million.

"We should thank Mr. Chen!"

"Of course, of course, it would be best to ask him to write a new story!"

The standard of Cocoon is also great. This film is covered with a sci-fi coat, but it actually discusses the problem of aging in American society. Compared with this theme, the audience still wants to watch a simple movie that is easy and touching.

But there is not much time left for these two films. In the blink of an eye, it was early July.

"Back to the Future" was released.

It topped the box office for 11 weeks, and finally the North American box office was more than 200 million, and the global box office was more than 300 million, ranking first in the year.

And 50 First Dates reduced the number of screenings, and continued to make money wherever it could. The box office exceeded 50 million in 16 days. The companies could not sit still.

Chen Qi won an Oscar, but he had never proved himself in the field of Hollywood commercial films. Now that the results are out,

they can't just sit there and watch.

Especially 20th Century Fox, the relevant personnel were scolded. It's actually quite unfair. The company was acquired by Murdoch. Who has the time to care about a Chinese filmmaker?

"I've contacted him, he's not in Hong Kong, he's back in mainland China!"

"Then go find him, idiot! We were his earliest partner, but Columbia got there first!"

(Finished!)
