Chapter 456 [The dark horse at the box office, the popularity of backgammon]

Friends congratulated Guo Xu and Meghan on their focus today and held a press conference after watching the movie.

Guo Xu has long been used to this kind of scene and can handle any problem calmly, while Meghan is excited to cry. It is the first time she has experienced the taste of becoming famous. The best movie she received before was "Fatal Id", which is just a supporting role. Now many people know her.

Guo Xu will not give advice like a well-known actor, talk about the quality of the movie, and always maintains the attitude of "I am an amateur", while Meghan's tone is consistent with him. They will never mention acting skills, just say that making movies is for entertainment.

"I just want to shoot some stories that I find fun and show them to my peers."

"I don't know if I have acting skills, because we are all performing in a true way."

A female reporter asked Guo Xu: "Do you usually have this kind of personality? You have rich expressions and often bicker with little girls?"

Guo Xu pointed at Meghan. "Or why do you think I can have a good conversation with her, Avril, Britney and others? And Shackle, his mental age is only 14 years old, and Sean (Maryon) is estimated to be 10 years old. He can watch cartoons for one day and play remote-controlled cars for one day."

What Guo Xu said is true. Many adults have innocence throughout their lives, and some people will show it and some hide it.

The reporter asked: "Megan, your performance in the movie is very natural, it seems that you have lived together. Are you a couple?"

Megan is not as natural as in the movie, and she showed an official smirk. "Not yet, but I have always had a good impression of him..."

This answer is the most eye-catching and is a good hype. Guo Xu is much more famous than Meghan. If it weren’t for a woman chasing a man, those little girls who like Guo Xu would probably express dissatisfaction. The answer was agreed upon.

In her previous life, Meghan was a type who was particularly careless when speaking, and had a lack of brain and was prone to offend people. She had to talk to her in advance. Her character design is crucial to a star.

The box office on the first day of the movie was beyond everyone's expectations. Guo Xu said that he hoped to reach more than 20 million in the first week, but the box office in one day was 24 million US dollars. According to this momentum, it may exceed 50 million in the first week, and the total box office in North America could easily exceed 100 million.

A few film critics gave positive comments after watching the movie. Robert did not spend money to buy reputation, but purely because the quality of the film was guaranteed, which conquered these film critics.

"Jason Guo's performance makes it hard to imagine that he is an amateur actor. He is very relaxed in both dialogue and dance, as if he is the young man in the movie who dreams of dancing."

"Jason showed the enthusiasm and sexiness that Latin dance should have in the film, just like a professional dancer. Although the plot is a little dull, the encounter, acquaintance, and love of the heroes and heroines are very interesting. Jason is not only a musician who was delayed by basketball, but also a comedian who was delayed by basketball."

Of course, film critics give more negative comments.

"The boring plot is so sleepy that I can't watch. The actors perform exaggeratedly, trying hard to pretend that I am very funny."

"The plot is cliché and has no novelty. You can tell that it is a happy ending at the beginning. It is impossible for people over 20 to watch it."

"The so-called love in this movie is superficial, full of boring long shots of handsome men and beautiful women's pretty faces, the amateur actor's humble performance, the procrastination plot, exaggerated expressions and incoherent lines."

The statements of these critics are similar, they are just clichés that the movie is not in depth.

The depth they wanted was basically no box office, the joys and sorrows, the protagonist was abused, and he cried and died of serious illness. People would definitely not be able to watch such innovative movies when they went to the theater, but they were easily awarded, whether it was Oscars or other film festivals.

Comedy is a movie that makes everyone happy. The plot of "The Innocence of the Dancer" is not a waste of brains at all, and young audiences almost unanimously agreed. As for older people, they may not be able to watch it, but they will not be so bored that they will post online to criticize the movie.

According to incomplete statistics, 75% of the audiences who follow "The Innocence of the Dancer" online are women, and 55% are less than 25 years old. When the girls were excitedly stepping out of the theater, it was normal for the film critics to throw out the rotten egg.

The next day, the Suns played against the Clippers away. Guo Xu received the warmest applause from Los Angeles fans as soon as he appeared. Someone shouted his name while holding a movie poster.

Guo Xu did not disappoint the fans who supported him, scoring 38 points, 4 rebounds, 13 assists and 4 steals, and easily beat Clippers point guard Yaric again.

It was fun to relax at the premiere. Other Suns players performed well, performing many wonderful passes, cuts and dunks. They did not regard the Clippers as a threat, and won the game while playing, and played until the last 3 minutes before they could win the victory.

Due to relaxed mentality, the Suns made many mistakes, but scored more exciting goals, winning the five best goals today, all of which were all free-received dunks. Guo Xu completed an all-received catch with his teammates in the counterattack, Joe Johnson passed the ball, and Guo Xu scored a dunk with both hands.

The next day, the Suns defeated the Lakers again away, 105-85.

After Malone was injured, Kobe began to undertake more offensive tasks, scoring 40 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists, and making 5 three-pointers. Unfortunately, his teammates performed poorly and entered garbage time early in the fourth quarter.

Medvedenko is a power forward, and the Lakers can't withstand the Suns' attack. His only skill is to pull out the mid-range shot and receive few passes.

Although Guo Xu's production cycle of "The Innocence of the Dancer" was only two short months, it became a super dark horse in the first week, with a box office of $50.8 million, making it the best-achieved movie in January.

All new films released in January have generally performed weakly in the box office and have been severely criticized by the film critics. Guo Xu's new film made people's eyes shine, and he defeated "Meet Polly" and became the box office champion.

"Meeting Polly" is a romantic comedy starring Ben Stiller and Jennifer Aniston, with a level of PG-13, involving sex, drugs, swearing and indecent humor. By comparison, "The Innocence of the Dancer" is much cleaner.

Anniston has played a role in the popular TV series "Friends" for ten years, and it is difficult to make a breakthrough. After many twists and turns, Global finally arranged the schedule for "Meet Polly" in mid-January, which is usually not a good sign, because in people's concept, January is the month when major film companies deal with garbage films that they really don't know where to stuff.

As a result, in January when competition was very small, the box office of "Meet Polly" failed, and it was difficult to achieve the results of Guo Xu in his previous life.

The starring couple lost because they didn't have a sense of CP. The male and female protagonists were swaying and could not get any sparks. The fans just went to see Rachel. She and Ben Stiller, who had a dull facial paralysis, had a bad appearance and didn't have enough jokes. They only achieved a first-week score of $17.8 million, which was lower than expected.

In contrast, the combination of Guo Xu and Meghan is invincible, and looking at his face can attract a group of young people to the theater.

Guo Xu's first movie starring not only defeated Rachel Green, but also ended the situation where "The Lord of the Rings 3 King of the King" dominated the North American box office rankings for four consecutive weeks. "The Lord of the Rings 3", which lasted for a month, finally showed a downward trend this week, falling to fifth place with $10.2 million.
