The national goddess of Korean entertainment

Like an elf, shuttling through the dark Seattle, this reborn city is half heaven and half hell.

The suffering people are struggling under the line of food and clothing, while the rich and powerful are wasting their time in luxury.

Be careful of Mai Si who hides her identity. During the day, she is just a beautiful and ordinary girl who delivers couriers on a bicycle in Pony Express.

But when night falls, she is the female flying hero in the dark, dressed in black leather and a cool black motorcycle, whizzing past the city in the night wind.

She has the lightness of a cat, the agility of a leopard, the sharpness of an eagle, and unimaginable strength.

It's a breeze to get where she wants to go.

On a moonlit night, she sneaked into a luxury apartment, easily took away the unearned property of the rich, and went to help those in need.Without leaving any clues for people to catch her.

But tonight, she was a little distracted because of a decoration.

It was a bronze statue of a sphinx, and it reminded her of the place she escaped from, the base where she was created, born, and trained inhumanly.

The camera replays, that cold winter, a group of children escaped from the base.

It was a moment of distraction that the owner of the apartment discovered Max who had stolen in.

With a soft bang, she clearly heard the sound of the gun being unsafe.

"Hey, if I were you, I'd just stand there and not move."

A clear male voice with a hint of a smile.

Max didn't move, and slowly raised his hands, but when the man approached her, he turned around, twisted the man's arm, and easily knocked the man who was a head taller than her to the ground.

In just a moment, the man fell to the ground before he could react, but in this moment, he saw clearly the woman who put him down.

In the close-up shot, the four eyes met, and a hint of surprise flashed in the man's eyes.

The corners of the audience's lips curled up unknowingly under the screen.

Claire Xu in this play is really beautiful, with a sexy and hot body, a beautiful face, but calm eyes like water.

In her body, there are not only the sexy and gorgeousness of the West, but also the quiet beauty and subtlety of the East, the contradictory and wonderful harmony, the kind of beauty that makes people shine, compared to Claire's curiosity and recklessness in "Inception" before. There is a big difference in the image of girls.

Although the movie has just started, many viewers, including invited film critics, feel that it is worth the ticket price to comment on the beauty of the heroine.

What's more, Claire on the screen is really handsome, her movements are natural, and she doesn't feel far-fetched when fighting, as if she is not acting, but a real master.

Although they know that Claire is not Chinese, many viewers are still confused, thinking that Claire really knows kung fu.

On the screen, Maisley knocked down the hero, flew up again, kicked down the rushing bodyguard, leaped out of the window.

The bodyguard got up and wanted to shoot, but was stopped by the host. He quickly ran to the window and poked his head out, just in time to see Max running across the roof.

Somewhat surprised, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. Turning around, he picked up the Sphinx that Max had held in his hand, and he smiled meaningfully.

Although the movie is more compact than the TV series, the plot is probably the same.

The male protagonist Logan approached Max, and after Max refused to talk to him in depth, he left the lion's face in Pony Express.

Thinking that Logan is a threat, Max broke into Logan's house again, only to discover the secret that Logan is Hawkeye.

Logan saw Max's barcode and tested Max, but Max hated him and even rejected his request for help.

But unexpectedly, her refusal caused Logan to be shot and paralyzed in the lower body during the witness protection operation.

Feeling guilty, Mai Si visited Logan, and saw that Logan, who was originally sunny and even liked to tease, was lying on the hospital bed, frowning even in a coma, so gloomy, and even more uncomfortable. In order to make up for it, Mai Si Si took the initiative to rescue the witness daughter who was robbed by the bad guys.

This scene was filmed extremely smoothly, especially the fighting scene of Mai Si, every movement looked so handsome and unrestrained.

Claire on the screen, whether it is a group fight or a solo fight with Zach, from guns to fists, as long as it is a fight scene, it is so charming, that kind of cool, handsome and stylish, even more than Jessica in the past A little more free and easy feeling.

Jessica used to be called Little Angel when she played Max, but now Claire Xu is much better than Angel in fighting in "Tomb Raider".

Although the general audience is not an expert, just watching the fun, but there is no doubt that this "Black Angel" is really lively and exciting.

If it's just a wonderful fight, then this movie is only half qualified. There is no complementary literary and drama, and it may attract some audiences who like to be lively, but it will make the film critics scold them so badly.

But what makes film critics like it is that in addition to the wonderful acting, the literary drama is also very good-looking.

Whether it is the entanglement feeling that the hero and heroine admire each other but cannot be together due to various reasons, or the unreserved love of Zac played by Zac Elonff as the second male lead, the villain boss played by Anthony and the The tension between the two of Mai Si when they confront each other is breathtaking.

While being chased, Max was shot and his heart was damaged. In order to save Max, Zac willingly gave up his life and shot himself to death. Howled in pain, burst into tears, but was knocked down by the electric shock, and looked at the gloomy sky before passing out.

Anthony lowered his face and whispered dimly: "My child, everything will be fine..."

Obviously the tone and expression are so gentle, but the cold eyes made the audience off the screen feel chills.

When the screen went dark and the ending song sounded, many viewers still hadn't woken up from the shock.

"Halo, it's another series..."

Over the years, there have been many teen-themed movies, all of which are series, the most famous of which are Harry Potter and Twilight. It seems that this has become a trend, and now this "Dark Angel" has also become a series piece.

This kind of series really makes people feel itchy and sad, but when the lights came on and the main creators sitting in the front row stood up, there was still a round of warm applause in the audience.

"Max—Claire..." Some audience members shouted Xu Zhiyuan's name, while others whistled and clapped their hands.

Xu Zhiyuan turned around and looked at the auditorium, instead of waving like the actors around her, she bowed deeply.

Tonight, she is indeed the queen, but from the east, the humility in her bones makes her bow her head without hesitation.

Even if she is a queen, she will always have a humble heart when facing the audience.

No matter how beautiful a star is, if one day he is abandoned by the audience, he will be nothing.This point has been realized since she entered this circle.

Any fan who likes her, she will regard them as the most precious treasure.

Because of Xu Zhiyuan's deep salute, there was a moment of silence in the venue, but then the applause became louder.

Warm applause resounded throughout the theater.

Anthony smiled and put Xu Zhiyuan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "They like you..."

"I wish they would like our movies more." With a playful smile, although Xu Zhiyuan didn't say anything, she was really worried.

This is the first movie starring her. Whether it is successful or not is related to her future development in Hollywood.It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous.

Early the next morning, before the newspaper was delivered, Xu Zhiyuan was already sitting in the living room waiting.

Holding the phone, she really wanted to call Cameron, but she was afraid of disturbing his slumber.

I don't know how much the box office of last night's premiere day will be, and whether it will meet the expected expectations.

When the phone rang, Li Meihua just entered the room. Seeing that Xu Zhiyuan was staring at the phone without moving, she was about to answer it, but before she picked up the phone, Xu Zhiyuan suddenly rushed to grab the receiver.

"Hey, Joan—ah, I just woke up...haha, how could I not be able to sleep!?" Hearing Joan's teasing, Seo Ji-won immediately denied it.

She wouldn't be so worried!OK?

The laughter stopped abruptly when Joan spoke, and Xu Zhiyuan stayed for two seconds before raising her voice: "Sixty-five million?" It was 500 million more than the expected 5000 million US dollars. Heart dropped.

"Okay, I see, the newspaper, I'll let Li buy it—of course I have to read it..."

As soon as she hung up the phone, Xu Zhiyuan fell back to the sofa and smiled straight at Li Meihua: "Sixty-five million! Sixty-five million..." Although it was not as good as "Inception", it was the first movie she starred in, and the box office , It is enough to prove that the box office after this movie should not be too bad.

Taking a breath, she stretched out her hand, "Newspaper."

She had already asked Li Meihua to buy newspapers early in the morning. She really wanted to know what those film critics said about her and about this movie.

In the United States, movies are one of the most important entertainment items for people, and almost every newspaper has a dedicated movie review column.And these film reviews have become the most important indicator for the main creators after each film is released.

Not only because of the authority of these film critics, but also because many viewers rely on these film reviews to choose which movie to watch.

If the film score is too low, it will seriously affect the box office.

When opening the first newspaper, Xu Zhiyuan had to spend time looking for the page, but when it came to the second newspaper, she found it almost immediately.

"For the two films that were released at the same time, because of the casting problem, the author naturally chose "Dark Angel". It must be said that it is worth the ticket price, although it cannot be compared with "Avanti" or "Titanic". comparison, but still makes for a good time." - The New York Times

This film review is a bit picky, but still gives a score of 3.5 points.

"It's a great movie for teens to watch, and if you're not looking for something higher spiritually, this movie will make you feel great!" - The Post

"The whole movie is a good story, the plot is tight, the fights are wonderful, the performances of the actors are also great, the music and special effects are all great, the only bad thing is that it shouldn't be filmed by Cameron film.” —Los Angeles Times

Obviously gave a score of 4 points, but the film critic still had a sour sentence.

Perhaps because Cameron is the leading director in Hollywood, these film critics have higher expectations of him.Several newspaper reviews said that Cameron did not give the film a deeper meaning.

However, some film critics defended Cameron: "A movie is not a textbook, what else do you want? In this movie, I saw the desire for peace, justice, truth, friendship, love, and the cowardice in human nature." , fear, and hypocrisy, doesn't that make sense? At least, I think it moves me more than the pale love of some teen movies." - "Film Critic"

When seeing this film review, Seo Ji Won also guessed which some teenage movies were, but she just thought about it and threw away that idea.

Going on, I saw a newspaper that specifically mentioned her:

"Claire's performance is much better than expected. Although she has proved her acting skills in "Inception", in this "Dark Angel", she proved that she belongs to Hollywood. Her beauty, It does not distinguish between East and West. Anyone who has watched the movie will admit that her black eyes are really beautiful. When you stare at her eyes on the screen, you feel as if the stars are shining on your heart. With this beauty, she is enough to occupy a place in Hollywood, not to mention she has such great acting skills and such good skills."

"I heard that in this movie, Claire also didn't use a double. In Hollywood, there are almost no actresses who can independently complete such an action scene and have dangerous scenes without a double. There were news reports before , said that Claire's next film will be "The Expendables 2". Some people have questioned this news, but now it seems that Stallone chose Claire, which is really the right choice. I really look forward to Claire's performance in Hollywood. She will It's a new idol star, this is not flattery, my youngest daughter has declared that she is in love with Claire..."

Compared with the previous short reviews, this review is a bit long.

Xu Zhiyuan didn't know if this was the real opinion of the film critics, or if someone paid her to praise her, but it is undeniable that she was really happy after reading this film review.

This is a good start, and such box office and evaluation made her very happy.

In the first weekend of its premiere, the North American box office of "Dark Angel" reached 1.6 million, ranking No.1 in the box office list.The freshness of tomato net is 95%, and the overall score is 88 points.

And it wasn't just the United States that got off to a good start, Europe's opening weekend grossed $8000 million.In the second week, Xu Zhiyuan went to Europe with the crew to carry out promotional activities. The European box office soared 1.5 million, while the North American box office fell slightly, but still reached 1.2 million US dollars.

In the third week, it was released in Asia and Australia. The box office of Japan alone reached 3000 million US dollars, South Korea's box office was 500 million US dollars, and Australia's box office was 800 million US dollars.

As the largest market in Asia, China was released in the fifth week. Not all the crew members were present, but Xu Zhiyuan and Christian were present to promote it.

One is that Xu Zhiyuan is very popular in China, and the other is that Christian will have a Chinese movie released at the end of the year.

The premiere in China was far more lively than the premiere in Hollywood.From the airport to the cinema, wherever Xu Zhiyuan went, there were fans chasing and intercepting her. The popularity shocked Christian, who is a big star.

Xu Zhiyuan is very calm, "If you come to China with handsome long legs, the scene will definitely be more heated."

The popularity of Korean stars in China is a bit unreasonable, but generations of male gods have easily conquered this largest market in this way.

In its premiere week in China, the box office of "Dark Angel" was as high as 8000 million U.S. dollars, which is not much worse than Avatar.

At this time, the box office in North America has shrunk to 6000 million US dollars. After three consecutive championships, it took the second place for two weeks and dropped to fourth place.
