"Death Comes" was finally released, on March 17, in 2,500 movie theaters across the United States. As a medium-invested movie ten years ago, it can only be considered a low-cost movie now. Naturally, there is no premiere. Even if it is a new movie,

Warner, the parent company and distributor of New Line, has a lot of money, but it can't be squandered at will. Of course, they still spared no effort in publicity, so New Line got a big advantage.

At first, I just thought Sean was cheap, and with the gimmick of playing the leading role in a new film by an Oscar-winning director, I thought I wouldn't lose money anyway, so I hired him after Frederick's lobbying. However, at the end of the year,

First, "The Talented Mr. Ripley" gained both word-of-mouth and box office success, and then it was revealed that Sean was only 19 years old. Then he was nominated for a Golden Globe Award. Coupled with scandals, etc., his fame suddenly rose to several levels.

The male lead of the movie suddenly transformed from a rookie actor to a dazzling new star, which is undoubtedly good news for the movie. The low-budget production will not miss any opportunity when promoting it.

What's more, as if God wasn't enough, when the list of Oscar nominations came out, Sean's name was suddenly on the list. In addition, this was the first time in 20 years that an actor under the age of 20 was nominated.

It is also rising higher and higher. Therefore, when "Death Comes to Me" stars Hollywood rising star Sean Tang as the starring role, it is basically expected that it will cause waves.

Those who are new to Sean fans will no doubt be looking forward to a new film from the young star, especially a thriller, while film critics will also be curious to know whether Sean Down, who was nominated for an Oscar for his acting skills beyond his years, will be looking forward to it.

How can I perform in such a low-budget commercial film and play a character who is about the same age as myself?

Under this circumstance, and the release time was on the eve of the Oscars, three days after its release on the weekend, "The God of Death" took 17 million at the box office, ranking second in the North American box office rankings. In fact, this result was originally

It should be able to top the list. March is recognized as the off-season for movies. Under normal circumstances, a weekend box office of 15 million is considered a big hit, let alone 17 million.

However, the previous movie that topped the list had a bigger background, and that was "Never Compromise" with Julia Roberts as the heroine. Compared to the newly rising star, Julia's box office appeal is undoubtedly much higher

, even though this movie is more literary and artistic, there are still countless fans who came to the theater for her. In addition, the story is not boring, with twists, climaxes and passion. It was released on Tuesday. After three days of fermentation, it was released on the weekend.

Therefore, it won a high box office of 28 million in one fell swoop! Therefore, "Death is Coming" was not unjustly defeated.

It failed at the box office, but the reviews were pretty good. Many critics praised it for its novelty. It was the most innovative horror film in recent years.

"The director integrated fatalism into it and completely used the atmosphere to create a feeling of horror. Although there is also blood splashing, it is much better than those horror films that specifically focus on this. The so-called God of Death does not appear in the entire film.

But it pinches the audience's heart every minute and makes people worry about the surviving characters who keep dying. The director's bold imagination adds a lot to this movie." Someone wrote.

"The most worrying thing, or the most frightening thing is that every way of death is an accident, something that may be encountered in life. In addition, there are no obvious logical errors, which puts great pressure on the audience.

, it also makes people more immersed, it’s a very good horror movie.” Someone else wrote.

Sean originally proposed that the plot of water flowing out of the ground after Todd was strangled played an important role. It is said that director James Huang deliberately used two different ways of flowing water here in the two test screenings. Later,

After asking about the results, almost everyone thought that the flow of water was a little too deliberate.

After being corrected here, and complementing the unexpected deaths of several characters later, although the whole movie is not said to be a qualitative leap, it also made the statement that the god of death is coming more consistent, so it received more praise in terms of word-of-mouth

Much more. Even if some people call this movie a piece of garbage and criticize it everywhere, there are still people who go to the theater because of the good reviews.

Of course, this is all about business and art? No kidding, how much artistry does a commercial movie need? Well, if you really want to talk about it, it can also be said that it shows the fragility of human nature and life through the impermanence of fate.

It makes sense.

The fact that the movie is a commercial film has also been used by some to counter other people's attacks on Sean, although it seems to be doing a disservice.

The comments about Sean are much more intense than those about the movie. They fall into two extremes. Those who think his performance is terrible feel that he doesn't look like a high school student at all, and it would be more suitable to play an older role.

But people who think he did a good job think that this is the role he should play. These are actually good words. The former is recognizing his acting skills in "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and the latter is recognizing his acting skills in "The Talented Mr. Ripley".

As for the acting in "Death Is Coming", although Sean restrained his desire to express himself during the filming of "Death Is Coming" and fully cooperated with the director's rhythm, in general he still expressed the feelings that the character should have.

.

However, after those guys who shouted, "This is a commercial movie, and commercial movies don't need the same acting skills as in artistic movies" were added, the debate changed a bit. It sounded like they were saying... He acted in commercial movies.

No acting skills at all? It even goes further, acting in literary films is okay, but acting in commercial films is not serious and professional enough.

Okay, what follows is Sean’s imagination, but those words are indeed easily misunderstood, but fortunately, most of the people who hold this opinion are online, and it has not become a trend. As for those who just don’t like Sean

, and the guys who are attacking it don’t care at all about the Oscar nominations and the weekend box office of 17 million.

But no matter what, as the male protagonist, the attention he received and the controversy he aroused far exceeded that of the movie itself, which I have to say is a rare thing to see.

After all, it's not just acting that has caused controversy. Starting from the next Monday, tabloids began to report that Sean Tang and heroine Katherine Heigl had a fake show and sparks were created.

However, this time it was not reported by the New York Post. This time it was reported by the New York Post in conjunction with several tabloids. As for the reason, it is very simple. Catherine became famous after starring in two consecutive horror-thriller movies.

It has also improved further, and the co-star is Sean, who is just rising up, and is rarely asked this and that by the reporters he meets.

Then, her agent was her mother, and her mother was a big talker who dared to say anything without considering the consequences. Probably Catherine told her mother that she had slept with Sean, so when some reporters deliberately

When asked about Catherine's relationship with Sean, her mother claimed that her daughter and Sean were dating.

Everyone knows the virtues of entertainment reporters. These guys dare to start with "who and whom appear where" and write about "who and whom are having a fierce fight", so the gossip tabloids wrote about Sean

Various versions of the scandal with Catherine are flying all over the sky. If it is said that there was no picture of Sean going in with Gwyneth before, plus Gwyneth has some connections, and the agents of both parties are

It was handled quickly, so if it didn't spread too widely, then they don't have so many worries now.

At best, Sean is a newcomer who has just become famous, while Catherine is at best a young actress at the top of the second tier. What's more, the woman's mother has personally admitted it. How can it be done if we don't show off? As for Sean, who cares what troubles he may have.

"Anyway, I'll leave this matter to you, Fred. Anyway, I don't want to have any contact with them for the time being." Sean said on the phone, with a bit of annoyance in his tone.

Now he looks like two people as usual, with a pair of wide black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, a baseball cap with a very low brim, and his neck shrunken, which is completely different from how he usually looks in front of the camera. This is also

Why, in this case, he could openly stand in front of the store and call his agent.

"Okay, I have something to do now, so I won't talk to you anymore. That's it..." Sean was about to hang up the phone, then he hesitated when he thought of something, and finally just said: "By the way, there is one more thing."

I need to talk to you about something, Fred. I need you to recommend me a suitable person in charge of the film company. Well, don't ask so many questions now. I will talk to you in detail later. Let's make preparations now.

"

Then he hung up the phone, breathed a sigh of relief, and turned around to see Naomi walking out of the fitting room. A hollow gray dress with lace, a black long-sleeved jacket, and a black

Wearing stockings and high heels, holding a black women's rectangular leather bag, and matching her parted hair with a unique temperament.

"Wow, you look beautiful, Nami." Sean smiled and winked.

"Really?" Naomi turned around in the mirror a few times. She seemed to like this outfit, but at the same time she was a little nervous.

"I think... the previous outfit was pretty good," she added, "a light gray loose sweater jacket with a long blue scarf, dark gray trousers and flat shoes, very suitable for spring and autumn.

.”

"But there are also disadvantages," Sean held his chin and looked at her. "The upper body is a bit bloated, just like this suit makes you look too slender, so-"

He snapped his fingers to the waitress next to him: "Pick up these two sets together with the previous set."

Although the waitress always wore a professional smile, she was somewhat disapproving of it. After all, Naomi looked a little better, but Sean was dressed a little too old-fashioned to hide from others. But after hearing this, she first

I was stunned for a moment, and then happily accepted the credit card handed over to me. This was a big order.

"Sean..." Naomi was also stunned for a moment, and then called out a little uneasily.

"Don't worry," Sean smiled, "It's only tens of thousands. I made some money recently and I'm thinking about how to spend it."

"Made some money?" Naomi pursed her lips and fell silent.

Sean shrugged, took the bag from the waiter, took back his credit card, and left with her on his arm.

"Do you have anything to say to me?" After getting in the car, Sean asked while looking at Naomi who was in a daze.
