The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 324 The power of a prairie fire
Indeed, the "New York Times" is just a newspaper, and Nicholas's interview is just an interview, which seems not worth mentioning in the ocean of information.

But imagine that even a big shot like Anna Wintour noticed the New York Times interview for the first time and took action. Then after the publication of the newspaper, the impact on the entire society can be foreseen. A spark. It can also start a prairie fire.

Heavy!

sensation!

Aftermath!

To be precise, the real hit comes from the way Nicholas writes, which is an impact on the current media news field. It breaks the fourth wall in the form of first person and leads readers into the world created by this interview. It is just right. The guidance is hidden behind the carefully arranged words, and the shock surges like a tidal wave.

The second wave of hits came from the written content and the outline of Anson. Although this is just a new actor, in the field of fashion, from "Friends" studio siege to "GQ" magazine to The Emmy Awards red carpet has been impacted three times in a row. The red carpet of the premiere of "The Princess Diaries" once again aroused heated discussion, and then the exclusive interview came on the stage.

Everything is just right.

It’s not just ordinary readers. Looking at Anna’s reaction, you can imagine the heated discussion among Hollywood industry insiders:
Maybe not everyone is interested in Anson, maybe not everyone agrees with Anson's lifestyle - some may even be dismissive, and maybe not everyone can grasp the context of the times like Anna, but it is undeniable that The discussion heated up.

The so-called popularity means controversy.

If it is one-sided praise or one-sided criticism, it will appear mediocre and boring, unable to stir up waves, and will disappear after a wave; but controversy can detonate opinions from different aspects and perspectives, and truly involve everyone. Discuss and then——

The topic just exploded.

Different from the wave of Jennifer Aniston that caused women to imitate, the bustling discussion surrounding Anson has a wider scope, from the stereotype of the vase to the actor's self-identity, from fashionable lifestyle to labeled individuals. Image blah blah blah.

Most importantly, Anson? Are you sure, Anson Wood? A newcomer who has appeared in two works actually talks so wildly, shouldn't Feng Da flash his tongue?

In Hollywood today, mysticism is still the mainstream. Almost all practitioners believe in maintaining mystery. Publicists and agents create an image for actors and keep distance from the general public. But now, Anson has broken this halo of mystery and revealed the actor’s true identity. The face is revealed.

Hollywood:? ? ?

There was sneer, cynicism, swearing, interest and curiosity, and the bustling controversy was in full swing.

So, what confidence does this Anson have?
Naturally, my attention fell on "Princess Diary".

In fact, behind these heated discussions, everything is about timing——

At the beginning of August, it stands to reason that the summer season has come to an end. Everyone from the audience to the media to the industry has slowly entered a state of decline. Even the scale and popularity of the released works are not comparable.

But I didn't expect that "Rush Hour 2" would write a medium-sized miracle; "Princess Diaries" was not to be outdone and made a small explosion. In an instant, all eyes were drawn back, and the summer war was once again ignited.

It is against this background that a "new and ordinary" handsome actor has caused two crazes in just one week, one on the red carpet of a premiere and one on the "New York Times". Such a level The treatment easily triggered heated discussions in the industry.

Him, why?
If the Hollywood industry has such thoughts, it is not surprising that ordinary audiences think so. The difference is that the general public lacks some aggression and criticism, and is more curious, with a critical mentality——

What kind of actor is he that can trigger such a discussion? Are you sure about this?
So, when people go to the cinema out of curiosity, what can "Princess Diaries" bring?
do not know.

Because the New York Times said nothing, the interview presented a true picture of the actor, and instead discussion of the movie was so nearly absent that one didn't know what to expect.

Naturally, Anson's image on the big screen will deviate from expectations - no matter what the expectations are, the movie will be different from his imagination, and a new round of discussion will usher in.

like? disgust? Feeling indifferent?

More importantly, can a movie like "The Princess Diaries" withstand scrutiny and discussion?
Everything is plunged into the unknown.

But such an unknown is exciting and exciting.

The "New York Times" ignited a weak spark, but due to the collision of the right time, place and people, it fueled the momentum. In the blink of an eye, it spread mightily, showing the potential of starting a prairie fire, detonating the remaining energy of the summer holiday.

The cinema was bustling with activity again. No one expected that this summer season would be able to see such a scene until August.

Here, there is another coincidence.

Strictly speaking, what was originally considered a potential disruption to the box office performance of "The Princess Diaries" has now coincidentally become fuel for audiences to enter the theater.

In the second week of August, "American Pie 2" premieres.

In the summer of two years ago, Universal Pictures, which has always been keen on being small and big, launched a youth sex comedy "American Pie". This work, with an investment cost of only 11 million US dollars, became a hit in the summer. He seemed weak and helpless in the project, but he never expected that the movie would have a box office success, not only becoming popular in North America, but also going global.

It grossed US$102 million in North America and US$235 million worldwide.

"American Pie" not only became one of the movies with the highest profit-to-revenue ratio that year, and Universal Pictures made a lot of money; it also became a cultural phenomenon, triggering heated discussions in all aspects, and it was a natural result that the sequel was put on the agenda.

This week, "American Pie 2" finally arrives.

To some extent, "American Pie 2" is very similar to "Rush Hour 2". The previous film had a mediocre reputation and was not favored by professional film critics, but it detonated the market and achieved box office success, and led to the debut of the sequel.

Now, the sequel's mass base also makes the movie's box office prospects promising.

"American Pie 2" and "Princess Diaries" are both campus comedies. They are indeed head-on collisions in terms of genres. However, the specific breakdown is that the former is a youth sex comedy and the latter is a romantic love fairy tale. The target markets do not overlap, and even Probably the exact opposite.

When the schedule was finalized, people generally believed that the two works should be independent of each other, but to some extent, "American Pie 2" may become a potential interference factor; but now, the situation has changed subtly, and the goal of "American Pie 2" The public may also be interested in "The Princess Diaries."

This was something people didn't expect.

However, predictions are just predictions, and they are all just words on paper. In the end, we still have to go into real combat to see the actual situation.
