Best Actor

"That's right, what MP Russell Parken meant, these are all unnecessary worries, we're leaving things up to the professionals, like...just got an Oscar nomination last year The young actor Sean Tang, gave up his career as a producer to become a producer!" The middle-aged man on the TV said with a bitter look, his eyebrows were raised, and the rhetoric looked very funny. .

This is the host of the CBS ace show "The Daily Show", the famous Jon Stewart, his humorous and exaggerated language adds a lot to this talk show, especially for the Republican Party His irony and mockery attracted a large audience, and even gave a sense of honor to be mentioned or even exemplified by him.

But for Sean, such an example is really not a pleasant thing, because Stewart is obviously sarcastic that the Republican congressman named Russell Parken is letting the layman do his own thing, But who made his production of "My Great Greek Wedding" already known to everyone?

After the "Los Angeles Times" published the report, although only a paragraph was mentioned in the middle, but as the tabloids discovered new ammunition, many originally thought that he just invested in the movie, and then hung up A person who got the title of a producer found out that he actually set up his own production company.

"Are you just following in my footsteps?" Drew asked him on the phone.

"Very courageous, Sean, and great ideas, come on." Clooney said so, but like Pitt, he looked like he found something interesting.

"When it is released, I will definitely go back to support it." Soderbergh encouraged it without compromise.

"You are very bold, and you will try to make a movie now." Julia commented.

"How does the producer feel? If it's good, I may try it." Diesel asked curiously.

"I don't care what movie you make, you have to listen to me here, drive me!" This is... um... Cohen.

So and so, plus Stewart on his show tidbits - God knows what this guy is thinking, honestly they're still pretty connected, Sean's first role in a movie ...Well, to be precise, the school horror film called "The Teacher is Not a Man" that played tricks in the movie for the first time was Stewart.

Regardless of this, in a word, things started to ferment so quickly, spreading from Hollywood to the whole United States, more and more people began to know that there is a young actor who is not doing a good acting career, He wants to be a producer, and he doesn't know whether to say he is brave enough to challenge or overthinking his abilities.

Then, the Oscars came as scheduled, Julia got the best actress as she wished, and Sean didn't even enter the door of the Holy Auditorium, so I was afraid that the media in the world would once again report this. Duan gossip was hyped up. Those guys demoted Sean to nothing, and the New York Post added fuel to the fire by suggesting again that he's borrowing a certain woman to take over, like a bunch of annoying flies who want to slap them, but don't. I don't know where to fan it.

"I will definitely buy the New York Post in the future, and then sell them piece by piece." Sean said this to his two best friends, and he said this on the phone. Neil repeated it.

"Unfortunately, I don't think Murdoch will sell it." Neil poured cold water on him like last time.

"Next time you say that again, Neil, no matter where you are, I will come over and throw you over the shoulder!" Sean threatened immediately.

At the end of the day, it's still up to them to make a fuss, because Weinstein himself called him: "Nice job, Sean, you've managed to hype the movie's fame. Woke up."

Yes, with the discussion of Sean, "My Big Greek Wedding" has also attracted more people's attention, and they are very curious, as such a young actor with little qualifications , What kind of movie can be made, even if it is a bad movie, I want to know how bad it is.

What's more, on the Internet, the reputation of this movie is still pretty good. Many people who have participated in Sundance movies and watched "My Great Greek Wedding" are in various channels. Expressed the meaning of praise, his own blog, emails to friends, forums related to movies, etc., and on imdb, the movie also has an evaluation of almost 7 points, although only a few dozen people participated.

In addition, Google's business is shrinking due to the IT bubble in 2000, and although Yahoo, as a competitor, has also suffered some losses, it still has an advantage, so they are very careful to treat every This business, let alone was introduced by one of the board members—speaking of this, there is another interesting thing. The members of Google’s board of directors are either billionaires or talents who have invested in technology, and the two founders, only Xiao Well, aside from the stake in Google, he didn't have much wealth at first, so that Neil was a little embarrassed when he tried to get him a board seat.

I won't mention this now, in short, Google has done a very good job of promotion, people are very comfortable to browse, which indirectly increases the good impression of this movie, so most people There is a feeling of hope that it will be released soon, so Weinstein, who is watching, will give Sean a call like that.

Well, for the promotion of the movie, everything is bearable, Sean is now a little regretful, knowing that he would not let Miramax schedule the movie to be released in late April.

Wait and see, the doubters will be stunned when the movie comes out! Sean thought so, and was hit hard again.

On April 3rd, Drew produced the sci-fi movie "Death Illusion" starring Sean who also participated in the Sundance Film Festival and almost won the grand prize. The home theater line was officially released, and then, the first weekend got a box office of 220,000...

Yes, only 220,000 was obtained on the weekend of the first week, even if only 60 plus theaters were released, this is a very low number, not to mention that it fell by half on the weekend of the second week. The box office was only 110,000, and the number of theaters released was also reduced by half.

Suddenly, a group of tabloids led by the "New York Post" surrounded them like sharks that smelled blood, revealing sharp teeth.

"Just last week, Sean Tang's latest work came out, not the "My Big Greek Wedding," which he produced, but with Drew Barrymore After "Charlie's Angels", the sci-fi film "Death Illusion" is the leading actor. The young actor, who had successfully played a role beyond his actual age in "The Genius Ripley", gave up what he was good at, like "Death is Coming" once again played the role of a high school student. Unfortunately, this time there was no thrilling, strange but attractive plot to help, the boring plot, the jumping and discontinuous pictures, the inexplicable lines, and the pale performance. It's boring, like a piece of moldy cheese, even if the top layer is cut off, it still doesn't smell as it should.

In short, this is a strange style movie with no bright spots in the name of sci-fi, but without any exciting plot, the weekend box office of 220,000 in the first week is enough to prove this, Xiao Eun pays the price for his arrogance, and may soon pay a second price. "

What his acting will ruin the movie. Afterwards, the box office word of mouth doubled, and they didn't seem to see it.

Now, they have completely forgotten what they said at the beginning, a young rookie actor will ruin the movie, and instead start shouting that playing roles beyond his age is what he is good at, really As expected of an unscrupulous gossip tabloid.

To be frank, the evaluation of "Death Illusion" is not low, and many film critics have praised it. It is a sci-fi movie with great ideas and an interesting world view. ponder.

“Whether it is the main world and the offline world, or the living recipient and the dead controlled, it is a surprising setting,” film critic Ross Williams said in his column He wrote, "At the same time, the different interpretation of energy conservation also makes the film's sci-fi taste unique. In the eyes of real scientists, this may be far from rigorous, but the director's bold ideas are undoubtedly worthy of recognition, and every detail is worthy of recognition. It's worth thinking about."

Of course, he also gave some criticism: "The biggest problem of this film is that it is not friendly enough to ordinary audiences. If you don't have a certain understanding of the world view of the story in advance, many places will not be able to see it Understand, it feels dull at the same time, just once or twice is fine, but after a long time, people will get bored."

This is the real problem. Richard Kelly used all kinds of metaphors in order to express everything he wanted to express without being too obvious or explicit. , but the movie is only about 90 minutes long, which is not enough. After all kinds of tinkering, it has become what it is now, so only 220,000 box office in the first week can be considered... within the normal range.

Much more.

But the guys at The New York Times don't care about that, they only know that Sean starred in the movie, and then the movie was a mess after it was released, and they would just tell the readers that, so To instill the impression that Sean Tang suffered a major failure, so more failures will follow.

In this regard, Sean can only pretend not to hear or respond, and then wait for his movie to be released, and the set date of April 19 is not far away.
