superstar director

Chapter 512 Media
Clap clap!When the audience applauded and stood up, those young students were still whistling and shouting, and many people shouted: "Thunderbolt Angel, so cool!", "NLZ, we will always love you!" They were obviously three die-hard fans of Gu Ning, but after the shouts of "Ning Cheng, you are the best!", Ning Cheng was a little surprised when he sat on the chair. , unexpectedly also heard the same cheers as he used to on the stage.

He listened to the applause around him with a smile, looked at the names on the screen, and heard everyone's cheers and shouts in his ears. He felt very satisfied!
"Hi, dear." Suddenly, he was tapped on the left shoulder, and Ning Cheng looked at Emma next to her, with a happy smile on her face, and said, "This screening is the best I've ever attended, listen to it Cheers from everyone, don't worry! You are a genius director and you will never fail!"

As she spoke, she laughed again, and said, "You know, even if your movie fails, with me, a big star, I can support you!"

Emma had previously said that she would come back before Christmas, but she came back early, leaving Xinxin to be taken care of by her grandparents, and she secretly came back to accompany Ning Sheng to the premiere, giving Ning Sheng a surprise.

Ning Sheng's own worries about this movie, Emma, ​​as his wife, saw it clearly, so seeing the audience's reaction after the premiere, she couldn't help laughing and teasing Ning Sheng, which made him laugh and feel uncomfortable. move.

At the guest seat, the invited star guests also gave their applause to "Thunderbolt Angel".

The middle of the screening hall is the area for media reporters and film critics. At this time, they are also applauding, but they are a little distracted after thinking about the movie just now.Has Ning Sheng disappointed you?No.That smart, cunning guy, his movie looks like a comedy with no connotation, but looking at the overall plot, it is not the kind of brainless popcorn movie, whether it is the transformation from good guys to bad guys, Still, the three secret agents of Ning Tong have a strict logic, unlike those funny movies, which just amuse you when you watch them, similar to "Home Alone".

In Ning Sheng's movie, the secret agent actions of Ning Tong and the three are professional actions and action logic like "The Bourne", and 007, so the audience's feeling for the whole movie will immediately be the same as "Home Alone". The funny movies are pulled back to the big spy movies like 007.

That seems to be the case, but it doesn't seem to be.The distinctive characters in the movie, the simple and reversed plot, and the relaxed and logical lines are all in their minds. How should a movie review be written?One thing that is certain is that they can't use titles such as "Genius Director Disappoints!", "Ning Sheng Jiang's Talent is Exhausted", this is not a bad movie, nor is it an ordinary funny comedy, this is a rare masterpiece; From the perspective of genre and subject matter, it can be said that this is an unprecedented masterpiece.Especially if you look at it from a female point of view, the whole movie is three girls. The previous saying that only female stars can't support a big-budget movie seems to be really outdated.

There are similar scenes in the movie theaters showing "Angel of the Thunderbolt" all over China.

"Oh my God, I never thought that Ning Tong and the others could look like this, it's so cool, so cool, so handsome...", "I thought it would be a purely funny movie, but I didn't expect to see it after watching it." , it’s more like an action movie, Ning Tong and the others in it are so beautiful and powerful!”, “The music in it is also very nice.” Listening to the voices of discussions around, a pair of other people who were still watching silently He nodded, maybe he can buy tickets for the next show.

After the premiere was over, all the crew, family and friends of "Angels of Thunderbolt" went to the hotel for a private dinner.In the auditorium where the dinner party was held, people laughed and chatted in groups, or drank red wine and tasted food. Ning Sheng, Emma, ​​Ning Tong, Shi Shi, and Ying Bao were chatting about Christmas arrangements, after all, it was a foreign festival. Shishi and Yingbao's family have no plans to celebrate this festival, so they want to come over with Ning Tong to participate in Ning Sheng's Christmas.

Emma was very happy about this, and she directly invited everyone on the spot: "Honey, we can have a dance party, let's invite some friends over, and let's all have an American-style Christmas together!" Although Ning Sheng He doesn't like the noisy environment very much, but the festival is to be lively, and since Emma likes it, he naturally has no objection and fully supports Emma's decision.

"Hello, director, Emma, ​​everyone——" At this time, Wang Xiaochen, who was wearing a beige evening dress, came over and greeted each other. Wang Xiaochen took out a poster and a signature pen from his handbag, and handed To Ning Sheng, he asked with a pleading smile, "Excuse me, director, can you sign it for me? A friend of mine wants it, and she is a fan of your movie."

Ning Cheng nodded happily, and took the pen and the poster. This is a release poster of "Angel of the Thunderbolt". It is exactly the cold appearance of Ning Tong and the three of them in black tights. He signed on the blank space under the three of them. , handed it back to Wang Xiaochen and said with a smile: "Okay!"

Wang Xiaochen smiled, and said to Emma and the others: "May I bother everyone to sign one?" She smiled helplessly: "My friend said that all celebrities should sign. Of course, she is also your fan." Naturally, everyone wouldn't refuse, Emma signed, and then Ning Tong --- Ning Cheng saw that there were more and more signatures on the poster, all the signatures of celebrities?He suddenly wanted to say, "Xiaochen, sign your name too."

"Thank you everyone." After everyone signed their names on the posters, Wang Xiaochen smiled gratefully and said, "I'm looking for other stars, you can talk slowly." After finishing speaking, she took the posters and signature pens to Ding Xuan and Britney walked over to the vegetable table.

Looking at Wang Xiaochen's back as he walked further and further away, Ning Cheng said secretly, "Xiaochen, come on, you will definitely become a big star!"At that time, many people will be surprised and say, "So she has a role in "Angel of Thunderbolt"!"

As for Wang Xiaochen, Ning Cheng's memory in another time and space did not give her any other information, perhaps because he seldom watched urban TV dramas in his previous life, or maybe it was because Wang Xiaochen was not very famous when he crossed, or simply another There is no such person in time and space.

But after Ning Cheng has met so many actors, he naturally has his own understanding of an actor's acting skills, and he also heard Sister Lin mention this person, saying that the other party has participated in the shooting of many works in the studio, although they are all There are some supporting roles, but they all perform well. Most importantly, she is constantly improving. If the studio hadn't decided not to sign this person, Sister Lin would definitely recommend Ning Sheng to sign this person.

The cooperation in "Thunderbolt Angel" this time also allowed Ning Cheng to see the seriousness and hard work of the other party, and as Sister Lin said, the other party's acting skills are really good, the personality is good, and it is even the first time to cooperate. Sheng's affection in his heart surpassed that of some second-tier actors who had worked with him several times.

Of course, whether there will be other cooperation opportunities in the future depends on the opportunity. After all, every actor not only has high or low acting skills, but also her own temperament conditions determine whether she is suitable for certain roles, not just good acting skills , you can play any role.

After all, compared to a person's acting skills, the first thing the audience sees is your appearance, and what they feel is your temperament. If an actor's own conditions and roles do not match, then no matter how good your acting skills are, the audience may There is no sense of substitution.

Over there, Wang Xiaochen took the posters and continued to ask for autographs. In fact, Jiang Shuying didn’t want autographs from any celebrity as she said. However, in Wang Xiaochen’s view, such an opportunity finally came, how could he not ask for more people? What about the star's signature?

So, Wang Xiaochen took the poster with a smile, and after signing Gu Zai, Ding Xuan and others, he took out an autograph book and went to Huang Bo, brother and others to ask for autographs, just like a person who sees a book he likes. Idol fans are the same, but every time she asks someone to ask for it, she waits for the person to finish talking, and then asks first and then asks for permission before going forward, and if someone refuses, she will leave obediently, so that It won't be annoying, but some celebrities think she is cute, and even wrote some blessings to her.

Fans on the Internet have a lot of labels for the first-time communication about their viewing experience of "Angels of the Thunderbolt", and "interesting", "cool", and "classic" have become one of the labels of the film. On the Douban website, The voting score of "Angel of the Thunderbolt" also reached 7.9 points, and then slipped to 7.6, but the rapid increase in the number of votes also shows the popularity of this movie, especially on the Internet.

An action-themed comedy movie with "no male protagonist" and a purely female protagonist, which involves the mysterious and desirable profession of an agent, has a steady score of 7.5 on Douban's main page, which is definitely a surprising number You must know that the score of another action film "Sunset Angel" with purely female stars is only 6.6. If there is a contest between these two films, the fans have already handed over their own answers. Director, starring, story, soundtrack and all other aspects are completely better than "Sunset Angel", an undisputed victory.

What is especially interesting is that the three heroines of "Sunset Angel" are the same as "Thunderbolt Angel" are three very powerful women, two killers, and one policeman, but as the first film in Asia to weaken the male protagonist, it is female-oriented. The first mainline movie invited top female stars from China, Japan and South Korea, and a Korean niche who was popular in Asia at the time as a supporting actor. As a result, after the movie was released, the word-of-mouth was barely on the passing line, but the box office results were terrible. At the beginning, the investor suffered a crushing defeat, and it can be regarded as the worst box office failure of an Asian film that year.

However, this time, Ning Sheng's "Angel of Thunderbolt" seems to use a similar model to "Angel of the Sunset", but in fact, except for the three female stars in the two films as the protagonists, there is no similarity in other parts.

And Ning Sheng's adaptation of a movie from another time and space has achieved a more harmonious improvement and integration in terms of word-of-mouth and box office, especially the advancement of some plots, which makes the logic of this movie more rigorous.

On the 11th, entertainment newspapers and movie newspapers gave the headlines to the two most watched movies, "Glass Bottle" or "Thunderbolt Angel", and they also occupied half of the pages of film critic reports.

Long before the release, with the trailer and lineup, the Douban score of "Glass Bottle" was 7.8. After the release, its score slipped to 7.6, but this is just a normal phenomenon. This action movie that audiences across the country are eagerly looking forward to is undoubtedly It will become another masterpiece in the hearts of all fans of Cheng's comedies.

After the premiere, it really received rave reviews, both from movie fans and media fans. "China Film News" stated: "Director Gu Dezhao cleverly extended the plot to the action, using it reasonably and well. There are various action scenes. The cameo performances of many stars in the film surprised many people." "Kyoto Sun" also praised Cheng Long's new work: ""Glass Bottle" is a completely It belongs to Cheng Long's style of film. The use of Cheng Long's movements and the combination of action and fun is very good. At the same time, it also brings the audience some entertainment enjoyment that is different from the past. Judging from the combination ratio, "Glass Bottle" will have a different romantic color in addition to action and fun."

The headline of the entertainment section of "Asia Times" gave "Angels of the Thunderbolt": "Genius director Ning Sheng-the hope of the new generation of Asian filmmakers!" At the beginning of the film review, they wrote: "Before the release of "Angels of Thunderbolt", we I have some doubts, whether Ning Sheng will repeat the setback of "Sunset Angel", whether the three little girls of NLZ group are suitable to play the supposedly "professional" thunderbolt angel, after watching this movie, everything has the answer , they overcame doubts. NLZ, the group brought out by Ning Sheng, once again gave us a big surprise, they are post-8s directors and leading figures among 90s actresses, the hope of the new generation—"

After talking about the film itself, "Asia Times" wrote in the evaluation of the leading actors: "Ordinary words of praise are no longer enough to describe the performance of the three of Ning Tong, which is completely different from their previous screen images. They have distinct personalities, each with different jobs and hobbies, but when they stand there as agents, their eyes, actions, and words can fully interpret a professional. During the mission, the three of them are like Like the female version of 007, in this movie, NLZ and the three of them showed their acting talents. With the Thunderbolt Angel, they are enough to become one of the most dazzling movie stars of this year. This makes people unable to ignore Ning Sheng's vision and director Thumbs up horizontally. After making NZL popular and sending them to the throne of the first Asian group, he successfully sent them to the big screen and became the most shining group of performing stars !"

"Asia Times" praised the acting skills of Ning Tong and the three without hesitation, and also admired the performances of Jiang Yiyan and Wang Xiaochen, who are rarely seen on the big screen.He also said that in Ning Sheng's movies, there will always be some wonderful performances of newcomers, no wonder so many newcomers always want to participate in Ning Sheng's movies.

"If you want to see a warm and interesting story, if you want to see a female version of 007, if you want to see the glamorous beauty of NLZ's three flowers blooming at the same time, then you should watch "Thunderbolt Angels." Finally, "Asia Times Times wrote so.
