“This is an amazing film, although there is an absurd plot, but through the unremitting efforts of the writer and director, the film compensates for the absurdity in it with a high quality. (Orlando Weekly’s IronGray Review)”
“This entertainment assorted dish has American drama-style staples, side dishes by Xiangjiang action stars, and predictably, it has received box office revenue from James Bond-style blockbusters. (Variety, Todd McCarthy Review)
“Different from previous Hollywood women’s action movies, this film makes a lot of use of the ancient footwork of the Chinese martial art, which is probably related to the fact that they changed the small mini skirt that could not open their legs. Because there are more kicks, the whole “Thunderbolt” looks like a video game on the big screen. (New York Times commentary)
“Martin’s change of the script is very successful, and the three angels in the film are also impressive, the costume design is very good, it completely shows the feminine body of women, but it does not look erotic, and the fighting action is very exciting… All in all, this is a qualified commercial action film. (Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times)
“Drew Barrymore finally climbed out of the mud and became an animal in the sun. Jessica and Scarlett also performed eye-catching, Lindsay’s cuteness became the embellishment of this sexy female blockbuster, and interestingly, the four main actresses in the film are all child stars, and they break the curse that child stars are difficult to continue to be brilliant in adulthood. (Washington Post review) 730
At the luxurious dining table, the girls were enjoying breakfast prepared by Martin himself.
Drew swallowed the egg fork into his mouth while reading the newspaper.
One by one, the girls were uplifted.
Of course, it is not without bad reviews, after all, nothing can be loved by everyone.
As the film’s director, McKee is more than lively, but he doesn’t do enough to keep the whole story clean and clean. (Sharon, by Stephanie Zacharek)
“The hot bodies and sharp hands of the three female stars make the absurd characters come alive, but they can’t hide the film’s crappy jokes and worse storyline. (The Hollywood Reporter, Kirkhonekat review)
“Thunderbolt is like a trailer for a video game movie, except without the video game and without the movie. (Southern Film Review)
“The content is terrible, this is probably the worst script Martin has written, of course, strictly speaking, this is not a Martin screenplay, but an adaptation, but I still want to say, the content is terrible. (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times)
Three days later, the box office was released at the first weekend.
45 million.
This data made it the box office champion of the week.
Ten days later, the box office reached 94 million, almost breaking 100 million.
The women showed terrifying enthusiasm for watching movies and contributed a lot to the box office of the film.
Three different women, usually like ordinary office workers, go to work, shop, and fall in love.
In addition to these, they also have a secret identity – angelic agents.
They served Mr. Charlie, and under Charlie’s leadership, hoeed rape to punish evil and bring justice.
Such a cliché “Cinderella” plot makes women flock to it.
This also allowed Hollywood to discover that women’s films seem to be on the rise.
As a result, many film companies have targeted another big heroine book in Martin’s hands – “Twilight”.
“Martin, Universal, Disney, and Twentieth Century Fox all have the intention to buy the film adaptation rights of “Twilight”, of which the second century Fox has the highest sincerity. ”
Jeff shook his glass of wine and reported to Martin excitedly.
“No hurry, wait. By the way, Warner has no offer?”
“Warner just reached out to us, and I think they were waiting for the situation after The Matrix. ”
“Hehe, it’s understandable, after all, they have paid too much in this series. ”
Martin smiled, referring to the contract between Paramount and Tom Cruise, if “The Matrix” sells well at the box office, he will get the lion’s share.
If Warner Bros. feels that the interests of that small part are not ideal, then I am afraid that such a “generous” contract will not be given later.
However, Martin is confident that “The Matrix” will not disappoint anyone, and there is a more eye-catching “Lord of the Rings” at the box office.

“Cherrs”
“We made it!”
The girls toasted and drank, jumping and jumping.
Paris said with some jealousy: “I already knew that “Thunderbolt Girl” sold so well (CAFJ), I should also play a role in it, can it be four angels?”
“No, four is too much. “Drew has something to say.
“But your “Horror Wax Museum” is also good, the global box office exceeded 100 million, and it also won the Teen Choice Award. Drew said.
Paris laughed triumphantly.
It is now the end of February 2001.
“Horror Wax Museum” has been fully drawn, with a box office of 88.4 million in North America and 1.64 at the global box office, although it is not as good as the 200 million previously predicted, but Paris is still happy.
As the first big-screen movie in her life, it not only brought her a lot of income, but also opened up a global fame.
This girl is a shrewd person, and there is a think tank behind her, she is ready to build her own brand to maximize the benefits of fame.
Although “Thunderbolt Girl” has not yet been drawn, it is also fast.
So far, this “women’s film” has won 177 million box office results in North America and 300 million worldwide, with a total investment of 90 million for external publicity, but in fact it is only less than 70 million, earned. [ Read more novels for free on our website: tinyurl.com/2aa54z8b ]
However, the box office potential has almost been exhausted at this point, and the final total box office is about 179 million in North America and 303 million worldwide.
To celebrate, the girls gathered at Martin’s mansion and drank champagne.
“Why can’t Martin come yet?”
Paris looked left and right, always feeling that Martin was not there, and the atmosphere seemed to be missing something.
Lynn Track: “Martin is busy with the release of his new book, a little later?”
“Oh, Twilight Part Two?”
“Harry Potter Part III?”
Paris and Drew asked at the same time, showing the different interests of the two women.
“Together!” said Jessica.

2001, early March.
Beautiful Little Town East Los Angeles, Center Avenue in Pasadena, Vromans Bookstore.
This bookstore with two spacious floors is known as the “cool place” by locals.
As an independent bookstore that has survived and prospered more and more, Vromans really looks like a good place for literary and artistic people to go shopping –
High-quality and orderly reading materials, cute and unconventional peripheral products, unique and non-arrogant packaging, coffee service, turn this bookstore into an ideal place to buy books and gifts. The weekly bookstore readers’ activities make the place even more vibrant.
At this time, there was already a long queue in front of the bookstore, from the second floor down to the corner of the street.
“Boss, one copy Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, one copy Twilight Crescent. ”
“Boss, two Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and one Twilight Crescent. ”
Most of the boys who came to the queue were almost all of them buying Harry Potter.
But with rare exceptions, they always bring a copy or two of “Twilight” when they buy “Harry Potter”.
Apparently, this is for the female members of the family.
(Brothers, please take care, evaluation, flowers, collections, and rewards, thank you.) ）。
