Hope-Bates looked up at the interview area at the end of the red carpet, but it was too far apart to see clearly. All he could see was a group of people gathered around, chatting and laughing, and having a good time. The warm atmosphere spread in the small square at the entrance of the Chinese Theater. The reporters raised their hands enthusiastically, the fans shouted excitedly, and the upsurge of the premiere was always high.

Vaguely, she could see the outline of a figure. It was originally thought that the sturdy Vin Diesel would be particularly eye-catching, but unexpectedly, all the flashes and all the eyes were involuntarily projected towards the same man. The only man in a t-shirt and jeans was wearing a white casual shirt.

Hope wasn't sure if it was her own delusion, taken for granted, or if it was the truth. However, she didn't care. Today is perfect enough, she's so excited, so happy, she just wants to scream with joy, not just because it's the premiere of Fast \u0026 Furious 5, and not just because Renly recognized on the red carpet She came out because she saw a healthy Renly, a bright Renly, a sunny Renly.

The man who was graceful and calm, the man who talked and laughed, the man who always focused on acting without caring for his own life, the man who made his life shine in art films, is now finally going to appear in commercial popcorn movies, even if it's just a third protagonist , but Hope couldn't help but get excited, so excited that the whole person was shivering.

The haze that had shrouded his head in the past period of time had all vanished. Even with this, she began to look forward to the movie - originally, she had no interest in such action movies at all; but thinking about it carefully, William, Graham and the others also went to Sundance before and watched the complete "Love is crazy" without any concern, and unexpectedly fell in love. So why can't she try it this time?

"Hope." There was a call from the side, and when he turned his head, he saw William's face, "The staff is organizing us to go in. The crew will be interviewed here for a while, and they will also take group photos or something. We Go ahead."

"Hmm." Hope nodded again and again, reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the blurred figure at the far end, and then followed the torrent of the crowd and took a step forward.

The Chinese Theater is actually not big, with only 932 seats. Compared with the usual screening halls that can accommodate 100 to 300 people, the scale is really good, but as a theater for premieres, it seems a bit cramped. . However, the reason why the Chinese Theater can become the first choice for the premieres of major commercial films in the summer is obviously the historical significance-

This is where the premiere of "Star Wars" was held in 1977, and after that, "Summer" officially entered the stage of history.

Of course, in addition to this, the location of the theater is also an important reason. It is located in the middle of Hollywood Boulevard, next to the Kodak Theater, opposite the Captain Theater, diagonally ahead of the Roosevelt Hotel, and also surrounds the center of the Walk of Fame. Obviously, this is the center of the whole of Los Angeles, and every year during the awards season and the summer season, it will be the focus of the world's attention.

Surprisingly, movie tickets for the "Fast \u0026 Furious 5" premiere weren't in demand.

When the premiere of "Star Wars" was held at the Chinese Theater, loyal fans set up tents at the entrance of the theater three days in advance, just to be able to buy a premiere ticket and enjoy the work as soon as possible. Hope was even ready to line up all night, but in fact, there were only less than 300 people queuing up at the scene. Hope and his party waited for less than two hours before they successfully bought tickets for the premiere. .

"Variety" magazine's predictions seem to be working, and the "Fast \u0026 Furious" series' fan base is still too weak compared to "Thor".

But Hope didn't care, the point wasn't the movie, it was her about to be at the premiere of her first Hollywood movie, and it was Renly who was there. that's enough.

Under the guidance of the staff, Hope and his party entered the Chinese Theater, sat down in an orderly manner according to the arrangement, and quietly waited for the release of the movie. The wait was forty-five minutes. After the reporters, film critics, and guests and friends were all seated, the crew members filed into the theater. All the audience began to get excited, expressing their applause and whistles. welcome.

However, this is not the end. In other words, this is not the beginning.

There is also a brief interview session before entering the official screening. This is also the benefit of the audience who bought tickets for the premiere. They can get in touch with the main creators at close range, and even ask questions. Such an interaction is a once-in-a-lifetime.

The core subject of the interview is Fan. It can be seen that he should be the spokesperson of the crew. Most of the questions are left to him to answer, but then the microphone is also passed on to other actors, such as Paul, Jordana, Gale, etc., popular The decent Chengkang also got a chance to speak, and Renly was no exception.

When asked about his "expectations for the movie", Renly said indifferently, "Let's leave it to the work to speak." This concise and clear answer made the reporters very dissatisfied, but the audience blew excitedly. At the whistle, Hope also smiled and clapped rhythmically with everyone, expressing his approval of Renly and urging the movie.

After waiting and waiting, the interview session was over, the crew took their seats one after another, and the movie was finally about to start showing.

The lights of the Chinese Theater dimmed, and Hope began to get excited again

Come, the movie is about to start again, the journey is about to start again, and she is also beginning to look forward to it. But this expectation soon subsided.

The rhythm of the movie is very fast. It is just a court scene of less than 20 seconds, explaining the background of Dominic being thrown into prison, and then officially entering the best rhythm, the roaring engine sound, the barren plain, and the shocking drum soundtrack. , full of yellow sand, neat editing, in less than a minute, a prison scene was explained without any fuss, and the audience didn't even have time to enter the state, Dominic was in Brian and Mia's scene. With help, the jailbreak was successful.

For Hope, it was an ordeal.

She knows that this is an action movie, summer popcorn, a typical commercial work model, following a set of assembly line standards, and what the audience enjoys is the thrill of adrenaline bursting, that's all, strictly speaking, The first two minutes of the movie are enough to satisfy.

But, first of all, Hope had not watched the first four episodes of the movie, and knew nothing about the characters and the plot. After the screening, there was suddenly such a large amount of information that she didn't even know who was who. It was over, which made her a little unable to keep up with the progress; secondly, the lack of surprises, the smooth narrative and sharp and magnificent shots fully brought out the essence of fast-paced popcorn and met people's minimum demand for commercial movies, no Less, but no more.

Honestly, Hope was a little disappointed. She thought Renly would ask for more. But then Hope adjusted his mentality. After all, commercial movies are commercial movies after all, and classics like "Batman: The Dark Knight" are not available every year. What's more, the movie only started two minutes ago, and she was looking forward to a classic masterpiece? Isn't this too hasty.

Thinking of this, Hope also laughed dumbly. "Buried Alive" and "Crazy in Love" really set high standards, and it looks like she's also dating. After adjusting her mentality, she also began to enjoy the bucket of popcorn.

The opening of "Fast and Furious 5" is really good. After a brief cut, the plot immediately entered the main topic. Brian and Mia fled to Rio de Janeiro and temporarily lived in the house of Dominica's old friend Vincent. Vincent persuaded Two people were involved in a train robbery, stealing several luxury cars from the train carriage.

In the process of committing the crime, Brian and his party encountered another group of robbers, led by Dominic. The two groups met head-on and decided to cooperate, but Dominic noticed something was wrong. His entourage seemed to have a clear goal and aimed at A Ford gt40, he gave birth to a heart, and explained that Mia drove the target car to flee in the other direction.

Sure enough, this sparked a confrontation between the two sides, which then led to the explosion of the train. Brian and Dominic drove the car directly down the canyon. When they saw two people flying in the wind, their clothes fluttering, and falling towards the emerald green canyon, there was a low voice of exclamation in the entire theater.

"Wall Street Journal" film critic Kyle Smith nodded slightly. Justin Lin's scene control and fast editing did give the film a sharp style, which interprets the words speed and passion. It's vulgar, it has been followed from the fourth to the fifth, and it has broken away from the B-level style of the first three. This is really worthy of affirmation.

Still, the movie lacks a little surprise.

Commercial popcorn has always been like this. It is stable and smooth in structure. The setting of the plot and the foreshadowing of the climax/tide are rigorous and in place. Accurate rhythm control quickly introduces contradictions and conflicts, directly into simple and rude confrontations and explosions. In the opening fifteen minutes Detonate the first adrenaline within, firmly grasp the audience's mind.

From this point of view, the opening of the film is really good; but this is only the average level of a successful commercial film, and it is difficult to make people feel amazing.

Such a movie still lacks a little chemical reaction to fight against "Thor". But Kyle is not impatient, he is waiting, waiting for the spark of Paul and Fan, waiting for the foreshadowing of the follow-up plot, waiting for - Renly Hall. This time, Kyle didn't wait too long.

In the impassioned soundtrack, a calm and powerful voice came from the roar of the aircraft engine. It was unhurried, the words were clear, but it was powerful. I couldn't see myself on the screen at all, it was just a picture of a plane landing. , but easily outlined the image behind the voice.
