The Best Entertainment Era

The revival wave of musical films triggered by Moulin Rouge and Chicago has not yet dissipated. Mamma Mia has entered the film market with a more cheerful attitude, compiling a love fairy tale with moving songs and dances.

Just as fashion and fashion often go back to retro, the movie's old fashion cut-out time can always shine.

Moreover, the positioning of Mamma Mia is very precise, it is the female audience group.

This is a gift prepared by Relativity Entertainment for all female audiences. Middle-aged people can miss their youth in the songs of the ABBA band, and they can regard the mother played by Meryl Streep as their own projection; while young girls You can freely indulge in the scenery of the Greek island and the happiest feeling before the wedding.

Of course, warm and touching family and friendship are indispensable.

Mamma Mia hits the softest and most romantic part of women's hearts.

On the first day of the film's release in North America, the first-hand data from the Embassy Pictures was passed to Ronan who had just finished a meeting at the Relativity Building.

Among the audience on the first day of Mamma Mia, women accounted for as high as 79%, and more than 65% of the audience were over 25 years old.

On the first day of its release, the film earned $15.42 million in North America, setting a North American opening record for a musical ever.

In the past, Meryl Streep, who could only work hard in low-budget literary films, has also proved to the world that she is capable through the two films The Devil Wears Prada and Mamma Mia in cooperation with Relativity Entertainment. box office appeal.

Regardless of the rumors about Meryl Streep, there is no doubt that she is dedicated enough.

Hollywood's evaluation of stars has never had anything to do with morality.

Meryl Streep also worked hard, with the cooperation of Relativity Entertainment, publicly bombarding a certain group in New York on Friday, earning a good reputation for herself and attracting attention for the film that has just started showing.

It's amazing how many actors are going through surgery these days in order to look youthful.

Meryl Streep spoke to reporters at a Mamma Mia briefing about her aging face, directly blasting plastic surgeons: I can't take that. One person It’s about accepting getting old and embracing life at different ages.”

She publicly stated that her mentality in this regard is very stable: The good side is that,

When you're old, it's fun for the studio to come to you for a role. You're no longer the pretty diva, but try something different. In the past few years, I have played many unique characters on the screen.

This caused an uproar in the media, because it is common for Hollywood stars to have plastic surgery or get injections. The place with the best high-end plastic surgery technology in the world is neither in Korea nor in Thailand, but in Beverly Hills!

Meryl Streep's interview went viral, Hollywood's plastic surgery community is too large, but most people will keep quiet at such moments.

Some people couldn't help but counterattack, saying that Meryl Streep spoke without thinking about it and didn't consider the actual situation at all.

In some respects, this makes sense.

How many stars in Hollywood can still get so many heavyweight roles at Meryl Streep's age?

Some movie fans expressed their views through Netflix sharing.

How many people can be like Meryl Streep, who is almost sixty years old and still has so many good plays to play? Think about it, those actors are not easy.

It is precisely because of Meryl Streep's status and achievements that words can be spoken so easily.

It is not the first time that Meryl Streep has used bombardment to gain attention. It can be said that she is familiar with it, and it has also attracted the attention of more movie fans for Mamma Mia.

These have effectively increased the popularity of the film, thereby attracting more fans into the theater.

After the first week in North America, Mamma Mia unexpectedly defeated Focus Features' New Pride and Prejudice and became the North American box office champion of the week!

With $37.75 million, this film set a new North American weekend box office record for musicals!

As one of the participants of this historic weekend, we also contributed to its phenomenal success. Meryl Streep stood up again and continued to shout for herself for the film: I Having been in this business for 30 years, it's a weekend I'm crazy about.

Mamma Mia is not only the best seller of the film, but also the soundtrack DVD that was released before the film.

A considerable part of the music and songs in this film are not original. 22 classic songs by the Swedish band ABBA are used, and the soundtrack released this time includes 17 of them.

In its first week of release, the soundtrack debuted at No. 3 on Billboard's album chart, selling 220,000 copies.

Though considered as great as Elvis Presley and the Beatles, none of ABBA's albums made the top 10 on the Billboard North American Albums Chart that year.

However, with the popularity of the Mamma Mia movie and soundtrack, ABBA's popularity has risen again.

It is predicted by many parties that with the support of the movie's popularity, the soundtrack of Mamma Mia will inevitably sit at the top of Billboard's album sales chart next week.

In the past ten years, 8 original movie soundtracks have been the No. 1 album sales in Billboard North America. The most brilliant achievement is the Titanic movie soundtrack, which has led the album list for 16 weeks.

James Cameron disliked it very much, and even clashed with 20th Century Fox several times. He wanted to cancel My Heart Will Go On, which created the craziest soundtrack sales data in movie history.

The success of Mamma Mia also created a good start for Relativity Entertainment in the genre of musicals.

The music team of the crew is a relatively mature group. After several interviews with George Clint, most of them agreed to join the crew of Hannah Montana and start a new creation.

Hannah-Montana also has a successful musical team.

Success always brings more attention and attracts more people's attention.

A director-producer with the project found the Relativity Building, and after a meeting with George Clint, the project showed up in Ronan's office.

This morning, John Waters took the initiative to contact me. George Clint roughly talked about what happened: Then I met with him in the office. John Waters is planning a musical project, re- In 1988 he directed Hairspray.

Ronan flipped through the project proposal, probably because of the success of Mamma Mia, John Waters approached him.

He is not familiar with the director, but George Clint specially appended the detailed information of John Waters to the proposal.

John Waters rose to fame with a series of Cult movies shot in the 70s, and the most notable feature of his movies is that they are very heavy.

Trash Pope, King of Nausea, Father of Bad Fun, these titles are the best interpretation of John Waters' movie style.

The 1988 musical Hairspray was John Waters' first mainstream film.

However, in Ronan's eyes, these introductions are not as good as a movie written and directed by John Waters that can more intuitively reflect his style and characteristics.

The name of this film is - Pink Holly Bird!

The 300-pound saint is estimated to be impressive to many people. According to the introduction in the information, the saint is played by an actor...

Ronan was puzzled, looked up to the opposite side, and asked, John Waters is promoting a musical?

Could it be that the actor sang while eating...

George Clint said: John Waters rarely makes that kind of hard film anymore. In John Waters' view, his 1988 Hairspray is actually through a white person. point of view—that is, the eyes of the obese teenage protagonist—to see the desegregation movement.”

Ronan asked: That is to say, the heroine is a fat girl?

Yes. George Clint further said: In 2002, John Waters united with Broadway to adapt Hairspray into a musical called Hairspray: The Musical Comedy.

He emphatically said: Hairspray: The Musical Comedy was a huge success at the Tony Awards, being nominated for 13 Tony Awards and winning 8 of them, including Best Musical Comedy, Best Actor and Actress, Best Costume design, best soundtrack, and more.

Ronan was very surprised: Musicals are very popular?

It is still performing at the Neil-Simon Theater on Broadway. George Clint obviously had a preliminary understanding: I specifically asked Broadway partners and friends who are engaged in the theater industry. Comedy is highly rated, saying that it is easy to understand, has lovable characters, and popular themes, and has won the love of audiences of almost all ages.

Ronan flipped through the project plan, tapped his fingers, and said, This is essentially a Cinderella story, a short and fat dancing girl who dreams of becoming a star...

George Clint added at this time: By the way, John Waters mentioned to me that John Travolta had promised him a role in it. Well... the heroine mother.

Cross role? Ronan couldn't help laughing: Interesting.

John Travolta's acting talent in musicals is unquestionable, as evidenced by his past films.

But this project called Hairspray, Ronan has no memory, can't think of it at all.

'Pink Hollybird' director filming musical?

At first glance it looks rather dodgy.

However, John Waters' deeply involved adaptation of the musical has achieved great success on Broadway.

Ronan thought for a few minutes, and said to George Clint, I'm going to San Francisco tomorrow to meet Steve Jobs. Make an appointment with John Waters. I want to see him when I get back.
