Chapter six hundred and sixteen [perfect, double happiness]
Liang Kun was interviewed and explained why the heroine Sun Ye-jin had so few scenes.
"If John had too many plots of love, the plot would be a bit slow. So after discussing, I deleted a lot of content. Originally, I thought there were some memories and dreams of the male protagonist in the movie, but later I thought that was not suitable."
This reason is very reasonable. It is really inappropriate to add a heroine, and it feels very incongruous.
In the parallel world of Wolverine 2, Grey often appears in Logan's dreams, all of which are subtractive. In the dream, Grey always wears sexy pajamas and chats with Logan, but X-Men fans know that Logan has never slept in the same bed with her.
Moreover, "Uncle Wolf" has a Japanese girlfriend, and the main storyline is that heroes save the beauty. The combat effectiveness of the Wolverine has weakened, and the Japanese gangsters have suffered injuries. Liang Kun's killer movie, too many memories, will also make the male protagonist seem pretentious and addictive.
Son Ye-jin also accepted an interview. She said she didn't care about the fewer scenes and was very happy to be able to work with Liang Kun again.
Of course she didn't care. This was a process of gilding, and finding opportunities with Liang Kun for a while is the key.
After the actors praised each other, the premiere ended.
Everyone who watched the preview thought the movie was very good. Liang Shuang and Wei Kun kept praising the movie as they were exciting on the way back to the hotel, so they must have become popular.
Chinese movies are known for their kung fu movies, and there is no way to find any action movies in China that are more exciting than this one. Zhen Zidan's "Fuse" and "Shapolang" are also fist-to-flesh styles, but they are mainly bare-hand combat, and the gun battle scenes are much different.
Domestic gunfight movies are basically fake, even if they were filmed by Wu Yusen. Only "Quick Chase", gunfights and fights are both exciting, without obvious shortcomings.
The next day, the first batch of film reviews were released and the film received widespread praise.
The main thing that critics praise is action scenes, believing that the action scenes of this film are perfect and make people unable to find any problems. A few critics think that the story of the movie is too simple and that Liang Kun's acting skills do not have much room to play, which is a pity.
This is why the impression is flowing. Liang Kun’s first two movies were nominated for Oscars and acted as a movie that mainly fights. Critics who like in-depth feel it’s a bit of a waste.
They have too high requirements for Liang Kun and want to see him perform. And as an actor like Vin Diesel, as long as he looks like I am the coolest and most DIAO, it will be done.
The highlight of commercial films has never been about acting, so netizens don’t care. They give them all positive reviews, and some even object to the critics’ statements.
"This is an excellent R-level movie, and the action scenes are very exciting. Since it is already R-level, how complicated the plot needs to be? This is the best killer movie I have ever seen, which is more exciting than all the previous similar movies, and it deserves the full mark."
"I think Liang Kun's performance this time is more handsome and crazy than when he played the clown. This is a real killer, killing people like a scattered, purely violent aesthetics. And in reality, he is so powerful, this is the strength of the Olympic boxing champion and shooting champion!"
"Liang Kun wrote, directed and acted by himself, and he performed amazingly as a director. His way of making movies and the use of many shots is unique, which is so exciting."
"I won't spoil the rare tough guy movie. I suggest everyone go to the theater to watch this most exciting action movie this year. I think this movie is better than "Wolverine", and Liang Kun is really too fierce."
Although there are no spoilers, many netizens can't help but compare this film with "Wolverine", because too many people have watched the leaked version of "Wolverine". The critics will not compare the two movies before the official release, and netizens will not care about so many.
After seeing the post online, Hugh Jackman complained to Liang Kun, feeling that he was going to be cheated because of this matter.
After the premiere, Liang Kun flew to Los Angeles with the three of them to go on a honeymoon and do promotion. During the break, he asked Hugh Jackman to take his wife and children to have a dinner at home and comforted him.
On May 1, the two movies were released in North America at the same time.
The reputation of "Speed Chase" has fermented and has received higher ratings. In terms of box office, "Wolverine" is still leading.
It can be seen that superhero movies are the future development trend and the type of movie that is easiest to attract audiences. Even if they encounter leaks, the box office will not be outrageously bad.
The total box office of the top 12 films in this weekend's rankings reached US$164 million, surpassing the summer season opening results led by the super blockbuster "Iron Man" in the same period last year.
The action film "Wolverine" produced by Fox Pictures was grandly released in more than 4,000 theaters, and on its first day of release, it swept away a box office of 32 million US dollars. On three days of the weekend, the film made a total of 77 million US dollars, dominating this weekend's box office list.
Because of the foundation of the previous trilogy, the performance of "Wolverine" with an investment of US$140 million can only be considered as average. The real excellence is "Quick Chase".
"Speed Chase" ranked second, with a box office of 22.4 million on the first day and a box office of 56 million on the first three days of the week. It seems to be a bit worse than "Wolverine", but in fact, the investment cost of the movie is low, so it will definitely make a profit by relying solely on the box office in North America.
Other movies basically have no box office, and the third place is "Entangled", which has only 10.6 million yuan in box office. This is a crime thriller starring Beyoncé and Ellie Tra.
Only three movies had a single week box office record of over 10 million. The fourth-ranked "Return to Seventeen" had a box office of only 5.26 million, and other movies were less than 5 million.
This week, the two movies "Wolverine" and "Speedy Chase" are divided into box offices in major theaters, and other films are not even considered rivals. Warner Bros. is so happy that the box office of "Speedy Chase" will definitely exceed 100 million in North America. Liang Kun once again proves his amazing box office appeal.
"Wolverine" declined significantly because the leakage incident was insufficient. "Speed Chase" relied on its super high reputation, with a relatively stable box office and a better trend.
There are many people who compare two movies online in the past three days. Almost everyone thinks that the action scenes of "Quick Chasing" are more exciting and the style is eye-catching.
Someone compared the gun battle scene. In "Wolverine", Deadpool actually played two knives faster than helicopter propellers in the face of machine gun shooting, blocking all the bullets. It was even more outrageous for Koreans to play with guns. It was purely cool, and it was like a snail.
The benefits of real-time shooting of "Speed Chase" have begun to appear, and the play style is more substitutable. The filming techniques have also been played in a variety of ways, including the slow-motion scene in "Detective Sherlock Holmes" where the protagonist uses his brain to predict future development.
Guyrich and Robert Downey Jr. and Holmes, who worked with Jude Law, have not been released yet. This way of shooting gives people a particularly novel feeling. There are also some wide-angle lenses, pictures when falling, etc., which make the audience feel very happy.
Liang Kun not only played beautifully, but also received unanimous recognition in directing action scenes.
Some film critics praised it bluntly: "The director of the "Wolverine" film, Gavin Hood, and Liang Kun, have a clear gap in their directing skills. The style of "Speed Chase" is extremely strong, and the sense of reality is impressed. There are a lot of action scenes in "Wolverine" that make people feel too fake, only Wolverine and Sabertooth Tiger fight fiercely."
"Before the movie was released, many people were worried that Liang Kun was not a good action movie director. This kind of worry was purely unnecessary. He directed action scenes when he starred in "Escape Room". When filming "The Dark Knight", he made the action scenes much more beautiful than the first one. In "Speed Chase", he once again showed amazing talent."
Everyone at Warners admitted that Liang Kun made this movie beautifully, and after the movie was released, he was placed at a higher position than Zach Schneider and caught up with Nolan.
Only a few people like the action scenes in "Watchman", and the comics are a magical restorer, which is obviously not as high as those in "Speed Chasing". To make a good superhero movie, the fighting scenes must be exciting!
Charles Rowan called Liang Kun. "Liang, congratulations on proving himself again. The senior management has discussed the script of "Man of Steel". They decided to choose you to direct this movie. Next we will prepare for casting."
This was long before Liang Kun expected. "It's indeed good news. Have you discussed the specific plans and shooting order of DC Universe movies?"
"Not yet, there is a plan but no certainty, some people like to take one step at a time."
Warner wants to see how the box office of the first movie was.
"Can I make suggestions when choosing a male and female lead? Because this is the beginning of the DC movie universe, many characters need to be played frequently. I suggest trying to choose young people as the protagonists, especially the heroine."
Liang Kun must first say something. If someone insists on finding Amy Adams as the heroine, he will be depressed. Although it is still early and Amy is good-looking, if she is photographed 10 years later, she will definitely lose points.
In contrast, Marvel's casting was much more clever. "Black Widow" was still online until the sacrifice of "Avengers 4".
"I will ask, it should be possible, we are all responsible." Luo Wen answered happily. He was preparing to be the producer of this movie and had enough voice.
Liang Kun asked with a smile: "When will the movie start shooting? Can I wait until the US Open ends and win the tennis Grand Slam?"
"Yes, you must have some time to prepare. If you have time during this period, you can think about the sequel script of "Quick Chasing". You also want to shoot your own series, right?" Luo Wen asked.
"Of course, I've written it recently."
Warner is now facing sweet troubles and wishes Liang Kun could learn how to clone his body, because all his films are very profitable and continue the record of success.
Liang Kun is the director of "Boss of Steel", and the sequel to "Speed Chase" has to start filming later. With its current reputation, Warner really wants to release the sequel immediately and will be released next year. This is a project that will definitely make money.
The sequel script is easy to write. Liang Kun thinks that the parallel world is the best script in the original episode 2. The big structure of the movie doesn't need to be changed, just a little magical modification is enough.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will become a Hollywood first-line star this year!
