The Best Director

The oriental color displayed in Fireflies is admirable. Although there is not much penetration of Japanese culture, it is a science fiction masterpiece....Four stars (five stars are full marks), Yanjun Chuangsan , The Yomiuri Shimbun.

In the past few days, all kinds of news about Wang Yang and Fireflies have completely occupied the pages of Japanese media. The entertainment star version of The Miraculous Yang Movie Club..., Wang Yang said he loves Utada Hikaru the most ..., Wang Yang intends to help excellent animations reach Hollywood... in the animation industry version, Wang Yang likes Hayao Miyazaki the most and says he is greatly influenced by him..., and a lengthy article in the movie review version Firefly Expands Yahong... A new space for cultural expressions..., Commemorating the death of anarchists, the great inner shock of Firefly..., Firefly: How Hollywood movies conquered the world with special effects......

Previous films containing samurai culture such as Kill Bill and The Last Samurai have received mixed reviews from Western film critics, but they have received unstinting praise in Japan. However, Japanese film critics have very complicated feelings about Fireflies. First of all, the oriental color in it is ultimately Han culture, not samurai culture or chrysanthemum culture. Their sense of identity is naturally weaker; and the director Wang Yang is of Chinese descent. Although folk movie fans are enthusiastic about him, right-wingers have always disliked him.

The old conservative newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun, as the newspaper with the largest daily circulation, did not avoid Miraculous Yang and Firefly and was also part of the whole process of tracking and following, but it did not forget it. Honeybelly Kenchi hinted that Japanese culture cannot be seen... Audiences who want to see samurai swords in the film can go home! Don't be sentimental! The far-right newspaper Sankei Shimbun even said, Beware of Firefly's ambition to promote Chinese culture as the representative of Asian countries...Japanese culture is the only Asian country. , viewers who agree with this view can go home!

Of course the right-wingers hope that Firefly will not collect 10,000 yen in Japan, and it is best to get away with a total box office of 9,999 yen. However, even conservatives should give a few thumbs up to those who abandon the comments of the far-right and do not analyze the film itself. , various newspapers are still full of praise.

In fact, the professional ethics of Japanese film critics has always been criticized. Last year, the great director Takeshi Kitano bombarded the Japanese film critics at the fifth Tokyo Film Organization commemoration event. He said sharply: There are some people in the Japanese film industry now who make money by hyping up movies and slandering movies they don't like and whose standpoints are different. They have absolutely no professional ethics as movie workers. In fact, this Kazuto has no actual ability at all, he can only talk nonsense, and he claims that he only lives to watch movies, which is really ridiculous.”

Although Kitano Roku did not mention his name at the time, people in the industry speculated that his main target was his archrival Takaaki Sugiura, who almost always had negative opinions on his works. Japanese movie fans are not blind. There is a saying on the Internet that Sugiura's movie reviews are not trustworthy.... However, what surprises everyone is that in the past two days, the vicious tongue-in-cheek Takaaki Sugiura actually said good things about Fireflies: This is a good movie with depth, content, culture, special effects, music, beauties, and gays (okama). It is definitely worth watching, but...

It's a pity not to see Wang Yang and Robert Downey Jr. having sex.

Takaaki Sugiura and Katsuaki Sugikaku are twin brothers who were pregnant. They originally served as behind-the-scenes costume directors at a television station. Later, they entered the Japanese entertainment industry as gay twins with vicious tongues. One talks about movies, the other talks about fashion, and they make verbal comments. It’s: “Because I’m gay, everything I say is straightforward.”

From 5 to 6 p.m. on Star Mo6, Japanese Television (nTV) has a program called Beautiful Girls. Katsuaki Sugiura found eight gay men, as well as middle-aged men with aunty looks, personality, words and deeds. The old comrade then taught the Japanese audience ikebana, makeup, beauty, yoga and other things.

Therefore, it is often said that Japanese popular culture has a weird and absurd side. Of course, compared to gay men, Miji Yang, who looks exuding a strong masculine atmosphere... is more popular among girls. He is also Chinese-American, which is very important to girls. For conservatives, their emotional receptivity is much stronger. In addition, faced with the crazy situation of Firefly sweeping the global box office of 1.5 billion and the huge sensation caused by Miraculous Yang's visit to Japan, it is difficult for the audience to say proof... Many people just I just want to watch a good movie; the media will also create a topic, which will further help Firefly. This is the marketing reason why Fire Film arranged for it to be released in Japan close to August.

Nowadays, these many newspapers and publications containing Wang Yang's news and press conference questions and answers are sent in bundles to old newsstands in Tokyo and even across the country and put on the shelves. Movie fans then buy them like treasures and enjoy them with gusto. Reading carefully, there is no doubt that the amazing news sent their sales soaring.

Long live! Many fans of Hikaru Utada and others couldn't help shouting with joy when they saw their favorites receiving magical praises. Especially the fans of Hikaru Utada clenched their fists excitedly! As we all know, the Japanese-American singer returned to the United States to perform in New York at the end of last year. However, the sales of her English album dus in the United States were not satisfactory, and the market response to this year's new single was also unsatisfactory. Now it is rumored that she will go to New York again. Moved back to Tokyo for exhibition.

Although Japanese fans hope that she can produce more Japanese albums, it is not a pleasant thing to see an idol in such a sad and lonely situation, so Wang Yang actually said, I usually also like to listen to Kanu-utada's songs. It's really What a great honor and surprise! Will it be helpful if this sentence is spread back to the United States? And although the film industry and the music recording industry are different, it is certain that if he can get the support and help of Miraculous Yang, Utada Hikaru will have more opportunities in North America.

On the other side of the house, Utada Hikaru has long said, Ung-ang is my biggest idol... There is no North American Asian girl who doesn't want to marry Miraculous Yang, and so does Bai Ran. Her mother, Hikaru Utada, said that when she was 15 years old in 1998, before she moved to Tokyo, she was shocked both inside and outside the film The Ghost Story. At that time, she began to admire Wang Yang. The Utada family are all musicians. , but she revealed that she actually did not aspire to a music career at first, and even said, I will never do music in the future! However, in 1998, she was too eager to meet the magician, so she decided to agree to go to the Japan Exhibition, and she became famous. Return to the United States.

The sweet dream has just begun to take shape, and magically Yang has a sweetheart girlfriend over there, and they are so inseparable that it makes people desperate. Now Utada Hikaru married Japanese music mp and film director Kazuaki Kiriya earlier than 2002. Wang Yang also got married last year, which made countless Japanese girls heartbroken. Utada Hikaru, the number one fan at the time, said this as an interesting fact : We often quarreled because of Wang Yang and He Ming, but they are better now.

Guang will be very happy to know that Yang Jun likes her songs, right? Fans booed. If time could be turned back, would Guang choose to actively pursue Yang? In fact, it is not difficult for Utada Mitsuru to get to know the magical Yang in ∠ and now. He is just a little stubborn and a little waiting for fate.

Of course, Utada Hikaru is not the only big-name fan active in the Japanese entertainment industry, music industry and other fields. People including Aoi Miyazaki, Maki Kukita, Kumi Koda, Mai Kuraki and others have expressed their support on different occasions and channels. Miraculous Young's favorite, anyway, in those personal information forms, his favorite movies and favorite directors will be listed; and in general, in entertainment, whether it is information or complaints, Devil's Scarf II is often mentioned name.

Many fans of entertainers have a beautiful vision of Wang Yang supporting idols; fans of animation have a vision of Wang Yang adapting and making a Hollywood movie version... because he did not clearly say who he likes, only said there is a chance and Excellent Anime Works, will the Flame Movie really adapt which one?

In any case, on the July issue of Nirvana, 756 theaters across the country welcomed this science fiction epic masterpiece with a global box office of over 1.5 billion. The fifth week of War of the Worlds, the fourth week of Star Wars Prequel 3 and the third week of Pokemon: Mew and Waveguide's Brave Lucario ushered in terrifying enemies! Long-awaited movie fans, fans, and people have flocked to theaters, and countless fans have made special trips to Osaka and Kawasaki to experience the Imax giant-screen version.

In the North American market, which ended on July 22-28, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory continued to win the weekly championship with a box office of 10,000, becoming the third film this summer to win two North American weekly championships; Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has won the championship for 4 weeks. Firefly ended its sixth week. Its box office trend increased by 55.7%, ranking fifth in the week (3,641 theaters with an average of $5.5 per theater). The total box office in North America rose to 599.8 million, far behind the United States. The film history champion Titanic is only one step away! After adjusting for inflation, the film history ranking remains at 15th.

In terms of overseas markets, Firefly was still screened in 7 countries and regions this week, and the box office trend dropped by 54%. After taking in 10,000 in one week, the total overseas box office was 9.4 billion, and the global box office in 42 days was B and B.

This week, the North American trend of Firefly is from -38.4% to -55.7%, and the overseas trend is from -35.6% to -54%. Firstly, it has entered the final stage. Secondly, there are many new movies released in various markets. North America The market now has four more films that have been released on a large scale.

The 126 million-cost production Escape from Clone Island directed by Bombshell Michael Bay is impressively on the list. However, the production company Warner Bros. I DreamWorks suffered a blow. Rotten Tomatoes' three indicators were %/39%/67%. Weekly The box office is only a measly 18.35 million (average per theater in 3122 theaters), another truly bad movie this summer! What exactly is going on! Even if the movie was terrible, it wouldn't be like this! Yahoo and other media, M and other box office agencies, Warner Bros., etc. really don’t know that there are explosions, handsome guys and beauties... It’s a good summer popcorn movie! ! Director Michael Bay, starring Scarlett Johansson and others have suddenly become commercial poisons.

Except for the low-budget film The Bustling, which was amazing at $422 per theater, Little League and House of 1000 Corpses 2 both died out quietly and poorly.

No matter what others think, the follow-up power of Firefly, which has grossed 1.5 billion in global box office, will be negligible. How far can it go in the film history rankings? It all depends on the performance of Japan, a big box office, and at this time, Cowboy Bebop is collecting yen at 756 Japanese theaters!

Wang Yang didn't have much to do on the account. Taking advantage of the free day, he could finally visit Tokyo. When going out in Los Angeles, he usually doesn't bring bodyguards, because there is danger in Menglu, a community with good security, and there are no crazy fans, just paparazzi. The most annoying thing; however, bodyguards and assistants must all be dispatched in Tokyo. The potential impact of far-right elements and gangs on security is only secondary. Movie fans are the key to the matter!

Yang Jun, Yang Jun waves of excitement came and went. Fans following around surrounded this dynamic store in Akihabara. The middle-aged owner followed closely and browsed the rows with interest. Wang Yang, who was on the shelf, kept saying excitedly, Your visit really makes us shine! Wang Yang also told the shop owner through a translator assistant: I will just browse for a while, buy some things and leave, so I will disturb you. I'm so sorry. The customers who were in the store were stunned and stared at him walking by without blinking; the boss was so excited that he almost went crazy. How popular will Miyagi's visit be? ! He quickly said: Wang Jun, you can shop as long as you want! 10% off the entire store! Can you leave a message for the shop?

In less than 15 minutes, Wang Yang swept the place and bought a lot of comic books that he was interested in or loved, some hand-made dolls and some beautiful clothes and hoops including the school uniform of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Although he I don’t know what kind of anime it is, but he is not being polite when he says he likes anime. The setting and imagination of the Japanese anime world are very interesting and many are amazing. If the opportunity is right, Flame Movies will really buy it. Electric Nose adaptation rights of the work.

After leaving the inscription Geek Paradise in Chinese and English, Wang Yang wanted to go to the famous maid cafe in Akihabara to see what was going on. However, as more and more fans were gathering behind him, he found that he had underestimated it. In order to ensure the sustainability of their enthusiasm, even if it is not a few thousand people, a few hundred people will be enough.

So he hurriedly walked around Akihabara and frantically bought an unknown amount of goods. Wang Yang was forced to go back to the hotel to stay. In the evening, he went to TV Asahi to record a live program. Finally, on the program, he and the Japanese people He said goodbye: Everything these days has been unforgettable for me. The enthusiasm of fans has left the deepest impression on me. Thank you for your love! And on behalf of the entire crew of Firefly, thank you for your support. Remember You have to see it! I didn’t have time to enjoy Tokyo’s food this time, so I’ll finish it next time!”

Yang Jun... Fans from thousands of households looked at the warm smile of Magic Yang on the TV screen. Under the bright night sky in Tokyo, people on the streets of Ginza, Shinjuku and other places looked at the large outdoor LED displays on high-rise buildings. Wang Yang smiled and said: I will come again, to promote movies, travel and shopping, I will. Finally, thank you! Goodbye! Countless girls whose eyes were already wet couldn't help but burst into tears, Yang Jun, goodbye! Have a safe journey!

After sleeping for half a night at the New Otani Hotel, at five o'clock in the morning, Wang Yang and his party officially departed from Narita Airport. At least one reluctant movie fan gathered at the terminal and saw them off emotionally until the plane took off smoothly. , they gradually dispersed, and many fans began to return to Osaka, Iwate and other places, ending this crazy star-chasing process.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department sent away the God of Plague, and then it was the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's turn to look sad. There was another extremely fanatical fan reception at Incheon International Airport. This time, three to four thousand Korean movie fans signed up. The momentum they shouted was no worse than that of the Japanese girls: Yang Mingqi Yangyi...

This is the fifth and last stop of Wang Yang's Asia Talk trip. After all, the Korean market has contributed a lot to Firefly and fans are equally enthusiastic. If this is the only place that is forgotten, the Fire movie will not be justified. It will be night. However, Wang Yang will not stay in South Korea for long. There are no movie clubs, press conferences and other activities planned, and there are no announcements about recording programs. He just walked around a few times to promise fans and did a few exclusive interviews with the media, including TV entertainment news programs. and newspapers before catching an evening flight back to Los Angeles.

Despite this, The Magical Visit to South Korea is enough to cause huge sensation and attention. You must know that Firefly has been the box office champion in South Korea for six consecutive weeks, and it has also broken the record in film history, taking in a total of 10,000 US dollars in the box office! The number of movie viewers exceeded 10 million to 60,000, becoming the third film in Korean film history to win this honor after Silmido with 80,000 in 3 years and The Flying Taegeuk Flag with 11.74 million in 4 years; another On the one hand, it is the first foreign language film to exceed 10 million viewers. The previous champion Lord of the Rings 3 had a box office of 5.96 million (28.46 million U.S. dollars), but now it has been left behind by several blocks!

Huh! When night fell, Wang Yang finally sat down in the first-class seat on the plane back to Los Angeles. He couldn't help but lean on his back and let out a long breath. This trip to Asia was so tiring! I ran to five stations in just one week, almost doing the same things. From the beginning I was full of interest to tiredness and then to a bit bored. I could still hear the crazy shouts of fans in my ears, and there were blurry faces and afterimages in front of me. It was magical. , Yang Zi, Yang Ge, Yang Jun, Yang Master... His return is like lightning now!

Seeing the graceful and graceful stewardess Jin walking by, Wang Yang smiled and closed his eyes. Now he just wanted to hear the gentle Dear and quietly feel the divine creation of the Holy King of the Martial Arts and the Universe. The king will kill the god and the throne of the god at night and ask for the demon. The most powerful and abandoned boy in the ninth level of the world. The royal family of Great Zhou will kill the god and the throne of the god and ask for the magic at night. The king will kill the god and the throne of the god and ask for the demon. The most powerful abandoned boy in the ninth heaven, the God-creator of the Royal Family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, killed the God Seal Throne in the night. He prayed for the wonderful fetal movement of the baby of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the most powerful abandoned boy in the ninth heaven. He just wanted to return to that sweet and warm home.
