This top guy is crazy!

Chapter 458: Legally Blonde breaks million box office

Hua Hua Hua~
When the movie ended, the audience burst into deafening applause.

1s!

10s!

30s!

The applause lasted for several minutes.

"Legally Blonde" is not a big production, and it is not destined to become a classic that will go down in film history. Everyone agrees on this point, but as a youth film and as a TV actor's debut work, it is definitely above the line of excellence.

First of all, Legally Blonde tells a good story.

Although it is a very vulgar "prodigal son" template, a blonde and blue-eyed vase, after being dumped, became a hardworking Harvard student.

Secondly, Legally Blonde creates a good character.

The heroine is confident, generous, sunny, smart, cheerful and compassionate.

He can remain calm and generous when being looked down upon by others, he can work hard and get into Harvard when being abandoned by others, he can forgive others generously and let go of the past when being bullied, and he can help his friends even if he is not sure about the situation.

Especially when she was wearing a funny bunny girl costume and standing in front of Warner, facing his doubts, she didn't mention a word that it was because her rival Vivian lied to her that it was a masquerade, and said lightly, I just want to dress up and appear.

If it were an ordinary person, who could do it?
Even the critics who were biased against this movie at the beginning had to admit:
Rather than viewing beauty and fashion as superficial, the film pushes back against stereotypes about blondes, and by the time the script’s climactic twist turns those prejudices into strengths and weapons.

Next, Cheng Cheng, Veraya, Daphneel and others walked onto the stage.

The press conference has begun.

On the same day, the reviews of "Legally Blonde" came out.

GN 7 points: Good
“Legally Blonde is a hilarious inspirational film for girls. Its success is mainly attributed to the extremely sophisticated and fluent script by screenwriter Cheng Cheng, as well as the infectious performance and charming charm of the lead actress Veraya. Although the opening scene is too stereotypical for girls, with all kinds of pink costumes, nail polish, lipstick, high heels, etc., which is almost disgusting, the plot twist of the girl aspiring to enter Harvard Law School in order to win back her boyfriend's heart is eye-catching.”

GS (GameSpot, a gaming media that also rates movies) 7.2 points: Good
"Whether you like this movie or not, whether you hate Cheng Cheng or have no feelings for Veraya, this script written by Cheng Cheng can be used as a textbook for romantic comedies. The heroine is self-sufficient and confident. She will praise her ex-boyfriend's current girlfriend, encourage the manicurist who listens to her trash talk, and repay the otaku who helps her get books. There are many anti-stereotype plots in the film. But there are also shortcomings. Everything happened too easily and too idealistically. It seems more like the heroine's luck. But this is the purpose of making a movie, to let you escape the heaviness and cruelty of reality in more than two hours."

The Flick Pick (Movie Selection) 8 points: Excellent
"The film spends a lot of time describing how the blonde girl doesn't fit in with Harvard, and how she eventually adapts to the environment through hard work. The director obviously has some experience in comedy themes, and some parts are really interesting and funny. And different from common commercial works, the local examination of the character's mood is very subtle. Veraya is a good actor."

But some media gave extremely low ratings.

Deadline gave it a score of four and said bluntly:

"This film is not a new plot for youth films, the technique is not outstanding, and there is no ideological content. The plot is vulgar and ridiculous, and very boring. There is no professionalism in the workplace, and going to court is like a child playing house. The whole film is under the banner of anti-stereotypes, but it is actually full of stereotypes and racial discrimination. It seems to be a subversion of the image of a blonde silly girl, but anyone who watches it for ten minutes will realize that the subversion is not true at all and is basically another practice of this image.

The whole film is filled with a strong male gaze, stereotypes permeate every line, and the attitude towards women and feminism is so superficial that I am afraid it is destined to only serve as a prelude to the release of the big movie. "

Another media outlet talked a lot about the sexist content in the film.

This is Hollywood's consistent attitude towards Cheng Cheng.

"Today, Cheng, who caused a lot of controversy in "Friends", officially released his latest work "Legally Blonde" in major theaters across Serbia.

"Legally Blonde" is undoubtedly another of his films full of prejudice and stereotypes against women.

The heroine in "Legally Blonde" seems to be an expert in law, "Why can't female lawyers wear pink clothes?" and "Why can't students at Harvard Law School wear lipstick and dye their nails?"

Fight for freedom downward with relish.

The way she walked in her high heels was uncomfortable, as if she was stepping on nails, while the male lawyer walking with her walked with big strides.

This film cleverly avoids all conflict points. Everything is soft and gentle, like a perfect photo that has been polished and photoshopped. As long as you are willing to believe it, it is beautiful. All you need to do is be happy.

But at the same time, it also exposes the shallow and ignorant understanding of feminism.
Brainless popcorn movies are subtly conveying opinions to the audience, and political ideas are hidden under the sugar-coated bullets. "

However, although the media reviews are divided, some give high scores and some give low scores, the audience's reviews are quite consistent. They all think that this is still a relatively good movie. After leaving the theater, many viewers were excitedly discussing the plot of the movie.

Serbia, New York, Buffalo.

The movie just ended.

Three or five girls came out of the theater excitedly, exuding a healthy and sunny aura.

"Oh my god, the heroine is so great! She's not only smart but also so cute and confident that's irresistible! I'm almost obsessed with her! Did you see her reject Werner? Yes, that's how it should be! So cool!"

"I love movies like this~ Every outfit she wears is so pretty!!!"

"This movie gave me so much strength! I want to be like her and get into Harvard!!!"

"I feel this movie is different. The transformation of this movie is really inspiring!"

"This is the queen!"

-

San Antonio, Texas.

Several boys came out of the cinema and talked all the way:
"Villaya is so beautiful!"

"Yes, man, she is so beautiful! To be honest, whether it is Rachel in Friends or Elle in this movie, they are both so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off them. My aesthetic taste is almost refreshed by her!"

At this moment, a boy suddenly came up with an idea:
"Guys, what do you think about sending a private message to Veraya on Twitter?"

Another boy immediately responded to this suggestion: "Hey, that's a good idea! We can post it together, maybe she can reply to us!"

-

St. Petersburg, Florida.

A young couple walked out of the cinema.

The girl's eyes sparkled:

“This movie is awesome!”

"That's right!" The boy also expressed his approval of the film, and at the same time did not forget to express his admiration for Cheng Cheng. He said proudly:

"I told you, I've been following this director Tian Xia for a long time. He's amazing. Whether it's Resident Evil, Friends, or Legally Blonde, they're all great."

This is the Amway people. When they successfully recommend a movie/a game/an actor//to others and gain recognition, they will get supreme satisfaction.

-

On Rotten Tomatoes, "Legally Blonde" also got a good score.

Twenty thousand people gave it a freshness rating of 76%.

"I can't imagine that a movie made by a Tianxia person can be so successful. The heroine is my idol, hardworking, delicate and beautiful, smart and principled. Her exaggerated outfits in the play are my favorite, hahahaha, she doesn't care about other people's opinions!"

"Don't ruin your life for others, especially for men! A very amazing movie, worth going to the cinema to watch."

"This movie was a pleasant surprise for me this weekend."

“Even if a girl is delicate and frivolous, she still has the power to achieve great things. The most important thing is to always believe in yourself.”

"Although it's a film without much substance, I enjoyed watching it so much that I give it 100 points!"

“I really like this kind of standard, simple, and easy inspirational film. This movie has the ‘Serbian spirit’ that we lack.”

"I believe Cheng has grasped the essence of Hollywood."

That evening, at 00:00:00 Serbia time, the box office of "Legally Blonde" was updated.

The first day box office was 1422 million US dollars, totaling 1.03 million RMB!
And it ranked first in the box office that day.

People at home and abroad were shocked by this result.

You should know that Cheng Cheng's previous movie "Resident Evil" released in Serbia only had a box office of 989 million US dollars on the first day, a total of 7100 million RMB, while Cheng Cheng's second movie released in Serbia broke the million US dollar watershed.

The single-day box office exceeded 100 million RMB!
It can be said that this is already a very good result.

In Serbia, there are only 20 to 30 movies a year that gross more than 10 million U.S. dollars on the first day.

What's more, compared to "Resident Evil", "Legally Blonde" is just a low-budget movie.

This success is certainly inseparable from the influence brought by Veraya, who has become a household name after "Friends", and it is also due to the fact that Cheng Cheng has established a firm foothold in Hollywood after experiencing a series of events.

If we compare it with opening a store, the "Chengcheng" sign is already well-known, but it still has 70 years to become a century-old store.

That night, the excited Veraya was very attentive and met all of Cheng Cheng's requests.

Not only did she open a back door for Cheng Cheng, she also agreed to do it with Cheng Cheng in the water.

Under the moonlight, in the villa's swimming pool, Veraya changed into a blue bikini.

The triangular piece of cloth could barely hold up the proud and plump thing. The exposed belly was flat and white, without a trace of fat. Two graceful waistcoats extended from the belly into the palm-sized triangle.

Her two long, round legs that showed signs of exercise were tied with lace leg rings. The soft flesh overflowing from both sides of the leg rings made her thighs look plump and full of sensual beauty, so sexy that one can't stop.

With her golden hair, she is even more beautiful.

She is so fragrant, tender, and beautiful, her cheeks are more beautiful than flowers, her fingers are like peeled onion roots, and her mouth is like holding red cream.

At this time, she was supporting herself on the edge of the swimming pool with her arms, her body lying down, floating on the water.

Cheng Cheng relied on his strong density to stand steadily in the water.

Cheng Cheng held Veraya's legs, pushing her down and letting her float up from time to time. Sometimes, Veraya would hold her breath in the water for nearly a minute, then raise her head above the water again and again, trying her best to breathe.

Her fair skin looks even more tender against the blue swimming pool water.

After more than an hour, Veraya was exhausted and Cheng Cheng carried her out of the swimming pool.

After getting ashore, she also nestled in Cheng Cheng's arms, like a dried fish, feeling very satisfied.

In the next few days, Veraya followed the crew of "Legally Blonde" to conduct various roadshows in Serbia, with the aim of attracting more people to the cinema and gaining more box office revenue.

At the same time, Veraya's announcements increased.

After starring in "Legally Blonde", she completely stood out among the six main characters of "Friends" and became the most popular one. Not only did many Hollywood model shows invite her to walk the runway, but Serbia's top beauty brands also wanted her to be their spokesperson.

On December 12, the second day after the release of "Legally Blonde", the single-day box office reversed the decline and reached 1 million US dollars, with a total box office of 1514 million US dollars, equivalent to 2939 million yuan.

On December 12, the third day of the release of "Legally Blonde", the single-day box office reversed the decline again and rose to 2 million US dollars, with a total box office of 1652 million US dollars, equivalent to 4954 million yuan.

On December 12, the fourth day of the release of "Legally Blonde", the single-day box office declined slightly compared to yesterday, but still maintained at a very high level of 3 million US dollars, with a total box office of 1482 million US dollars, equivalent to 6446 million yuan.

One week after its release, the total box office of "Legally Blonde" in Spain has reached 9 million US dollars, a total of 6.9 million RMB!
It can be said that it is just around the corner for "Legally Blonde" to break the 100 million US dollar box office!

Vera's first movie grossed $100 million, making her the envy of all Hollywood female stars.

For a sitcom actor, the most difficult thing is transformation and promotion.

Because a good sitcom that lasts for several seasons leaves such a deep impression on the audience that it is difficult for the actors to get out of the role. The six main actors of the previous "Friends" basically have no other works to show for themselves except "Friends".

With "Legally Blonde", it can be said that Vera's commercial value and future potential have directly risen to several levels.

Moreover, there is not only this one "Legally Blonde" series, there are two other ones.

If she can make the other two films, it will be no problem for Veraya to become a top star in Hollywood.
