Chapter 281 Good grades

Yes, very eye-catching, these complaints cover a lot of things, from hero movies to famous works of various actors.

For example, the role of Willis is set as a movie lover. Every time the mission is over, he will relax by watching movies, so he likes to talk about movies. In the opening mission, Schwarzenegger, Willis and West Geer was going to retire after the end, so Schwarzenegger couldn't help complaining halfway through: "Guys, pay attention, I'm going to retire after finishing this time."

Then Willis jumped up like a cat whose tail has been stepped on: "Damn, don't say that"

He told them very seriously: "In the movie, if someone says this to you, it means he will never retire"

Throughout the movie, Willis often explained to his companions the unreasonable things in the movie, except that the bullets could never be finished, and there were also things like blankets that could cover a woman's chest but reached to a man's waist, etc., nagging This is very different from his previous action imagination. You must know that Willis is a tough guy with a cold face most of the time, and he doesn't talk much. Or black comedy movies, so this kind of transformation doesn't make people feel inappropriate, but it has a good comedy effect

Under his influence, several other people occasionally complained like this. In the following plot, the Death Squad took over the task of destroying the terrorists who controlled a small island, and Stallone's daughter was also stranded on it. Stallone went to seek help from Schwarzenegger and others who had just retired. A group of people killed them and fought fiercely with each other, and then Schwarzenegger was accidentally injured

"It's unreasonable. Generally speaking, in movies, people like me don't get hurt," he complained when Willis bandaged him.

"It's simple, you're not the protagonist" said Stallone, who was covering them, and then, the next second, he was also shot

"Obviously, you are not the protagonist either," Schwarzenegger immediately responded humorously, and the audience here burst out laughing

Such jokes abound. After the mission in the opening chapter is over, the members of the Expendables celebrate together and send off Schwarzenegger and others to retire. Siegel personally makes food to entertain everyone.

"I can finally realize my long-standing dream—to be a mobile novel site for chefs" he sighed, needless to say, this is an allusion to his image in "Dragon Ascension"

And then other people talked about the rest of their lives because of it

"What do you think of me running for president?" Schwarzenegger asked everyone

"Impossible, your immigration time is not enough" someone denied

"Then... run for governor" he immediately changed his words

If it will take a few years to understand the above joke, then anyone who has seen the previous action movies will definitely understand the following

"Actually, I really want to be a policeman," Willis said when talking about this issue, "because in that case, I can reasonably throw those bastards from tall buildings."

"I want to box, and I have a match with the world boxing champion. I don't need to win the opponent, as long as I can survive 15 rounds." This is Stallone's answer

Then someone joked next to him: "Don't be kidding, if you compete, you will kill him"

It is conceivable how much such a "laugh" will be, especially in the eyes of action movie lovers, not only Stallone and others, as long as other people have works, they cannot escape this kind of ridicule

"No, thank you, I just need this." The taciturn Reynolds raised his milk glass in front of the handed beer, and then someone asked him with a smile: "Hey, man, I heard that the French like little girls, you too?"

Or maybe Lundgren was assigned to be an undercover agent, and only Stallone knew about it, but later in the plot, when Jean-Claude Van Damme was confronting him and many terrorists, he shot and killed the people around him without hesitation, and then Lundgren Geer also did not hesitate to cooperate with him to kill other terrorists

"I thought you were going to lose your fighting power first," Longer said afterward.

"We are the best partners, I never believe that you will betray" Jean-Claude Van Damme replied

This joke is not so direct, but as long as you are an action movie lover, you will never forget the "Reconstructed Warrior" in 1992. It is quite interesting to associate it with this scene. Although the excuse for letting Lundgren go undercover is not so clever , but it is much better than the original version, which made him repent after a fight. Although this movie is about watching muscles, watching action and watching gunfights, at least the logic of the story still needs to be

There are also many other funny jokes. Diesel and Jeter Lee are another pair. Jeter Lee always rushes to the front, covering for Diesel. One of the scenes is that he throws a knife and kills a man who wants to After sneaking up on Diesel's guy, he raised his chin: "You owe me one more time"

But Diesel immediately shot the guy behind him in the head, then shrugged: "It's even now."

Jeter Lee was suddenly depressed. His image was similar to the original version, and he was also a person with few expressions and words. Every time he saves him, 10% of his salary will be given to him, so there is the previous scene

For a few minutes, Siegel wrestled with someone into the kitchen, finally picked up a carrot and killed the other party, and then said coolly, "No one knows the kitchen better than me", "The most lethal thing is not the kitchen knife" and so on. Appearing one will keep the audience laughing all the time

Of course, you have to be sensational when you should be sensational. For example, Jeter Lee called his mother and lied that he was working as a handyman in a certain company. , and then comforted by Diesel, who has a strong friendship, or Stallone can’t take care of his daughter, and he always has to quarrel with his daughter when he gets home, which leads to his daughter running away from home and being in danger

Scarlett acted very well, fully achieving the desired effect of a touch of glamor. In a sense, she can also be regarded as acting in her own right. This kind of role that lacks fatherly love is very suitable for her now, Adrian specially adjusted the script for her

In the end, Stallone rescued his daughter and led the Death Squad to successfully complete the mission. Schwarzenegger and the others also retired completely. The scene of embracing and saying goodbye in the afterglow of the film is very warm and tight, with a hot plot, endless funny jokes and just the right sensationalism, plus many action stars joining, the three-day premiere, two-hour "The Expendables" in North America Won more than 75 million box office

This made Adrian feel a little regretful. He thought that the well-produced, hyped and spent a lot of marketing methods could become the first box office movie in the first week when the appeal of the Big Three has not started to fade significantly. A movie that broke 100 million yuan, accomplished a feat that even "Titanic" failed to complete - the closest to this honor is "The Lost World", which won 90 million yuan in three days

However, it is already very good to have this result. Even if the drop of over 50 next week may lead to a loss at the box office, it can also earn back on DVD and video tape. After all, this is the first film with a difference of more than 80% from the original version. It’s already very good, but the more people and things that succeed due to accidental factors, the more unpredictable changes will occur

The most obvious example is last year's World Cup, because of Ronaldo's soft feet and Brazil's stupid performance, everyone in the previous life knew what kind of game it was. things and forget them in the back of his mind, and when he remembered, the World Cup was over

But after looking up the finals of this World Cup, he was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped. Although it was still Brazil vs. France, Brazil scored the first goal. France did not come back until the end of the first half, but the second half began. , France was scored another goal by Brazil, and morale was hit hard. Although they frequently threatened Brazil's goal afterwards, they still failed to equalize

This score was maintained like this. When everyone thought that Brazil would win the Hercules Cup again, the Frenchman, under the leadership of Zidane, scored two goals in stoppage time. The score of 3 to 2 instantly closed Brazil kicked from heaven to hell. Adrian shook his head after knowing the process. If this kind of plot was placed in the online novel before rebirth, the author would definitely be scolded to death by a bunch of fans, but the reality is so bizarre, but fortunately he I didn't take a small gamble

So, since "The Expendables" got a box office of 75 million in the three days of the weekend, even if it failed to break the record, even if there might be a big drop, so what? don't need to care too much

As for the media's comments on the film, there is no need to say more. Is there any deep meaning to be explored for such an out-and-out commercial action film? As for the degree of excitement, anyone who has watched it carefully will admit that the quality of the film is below the standard, and those who oppose it just for the sake of opposition don't worry about it.

Therefore, Adrian quickly switched to other aspects. His time was very tight. Apart from seeing his own woman in life and taking care of the next two expectant mothers, there were not many things at work. The important thing is that Britney and Christina's records and their albums are all very good, and they have held small-scale concert tours in the United States. It is natural to prepare albums

But Adrian has other things to consider. "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" was broadcast in the second half of 1994, and it has played five seasons by May of this year, with an average of 25 episodes per season. At the last episode of the fifth season, the TV series will have broadcast 100 episodes, and Adrian wants to launch "far y m me" at this time as a celebration\u003c/p\u003e
