2971 [Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon]
"Fast and Furious" is a film produced by Universal Pictures in 2001. The first one is just a very ordinary police and gangster film.
It tells the story of the new police officer Brian entering the Speed Party to investigate several recent carjacking cases. During the undercover period, he fell in love with the sister of the Speed Party boss Dominic and formed deep friendship with Dominic. Finally, he found out that there was another person in the crime and joined forces with Dominic and others to wipe out the bandits and live in a relationship with his lover.
Although the story is quite old-fashioned, it has greatly attracted American audiences because it has added many scenes of car rush. The box office in North America is 110 million US dollars and the global box office is 202 million US dollars.
The United States claims to be the "country on the wheel", with a vehicle penetration rate of 78%. Beauty can take the driver's license at the age of 16. After entering high school, the gift that young people want most is to own their own car.
Therefore, in American movies, young people often see plots of buying cars, such as Sam buying the Hornet in "Transformers"; Peter Parker went to the ring game to buy a car, etc.
Because cars are very important and indispensable to beauty, the ratings of racing movies, dramas, games or variety shows are very objective.
For example, the famous car review program "Topgear", "Knight" with smart cars as its selling point, and electronic games with over 10 million sales like "Need for Speed", etc., all fully demonstrate the beauty's love for cars.
"Fast and Furious" is precisely to cater to the public's psychology, so a large number of racing scenes are added to the movie, which makes the audience's adrenaline soar with the roar of the motor when watching it, and naturally enjoys it.

Tomb Raider is a sci-fi action movie starring Angelina Jolie in 2009. It is based on the video game of the same name, Tomb Raider.
In 1996, the first part of "Tomb Raider" was launched by British game company Eidos. Because it was the first to use 3D technology, the game's sense of substitution was greatly enhanced. In addition, the combination of story arrangement, puzzle design, underwater adventure and other content was very well-established, so it became very popular after its launch.
Because there were few female characters in action-adventure games at that time, the heroine Laura Crawford in "Tomb Raider" was also known as "the number one lady in the game world", and is quite well-known in the minds of players.
The movie "Tomb Raider" does not directly use the game plot, but an original adventure plot.
In this movie, Laura has to go deep into the mysterious jungle of Southeast Asia and go to the ice fields of Siberia, fighting against dangerous mercenaries and defeating villains with evil intentions. It can be said that this is a movie with a very strong female color.
In his previous life, the total investment of this movie was 80 million US dollars, with a global box office of 27,600 US dollars, which can be said to be a great success. It was precisely because of her wonderful performances in this movie that Angelina Jolie became one of the most box office-friendly actresses in the film.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was also released in 2001. It is a martial arts classic directed by well-known directors Li An and starring Zhou Runfa, Yang Ziqiong and Zhang Zi.
The story tells is that the Wudang hero Li Mubai decided to retire from the world and entrust his Qingming sword to his confidante Yu Xiulian and take it to the capital to present it to Mr. Beile as a gift.
Yu Jiaolong, the daughter of the Nine Gate Admiral Yu, made a lifelong decision with Sha Tuo Luo Xiaohu on the way to Beijing. She was unwilling to be ordered by her father to marry, so she stole the Qingming Sword and borrowed it to travel around the world, causing a lot of trouble.
Li Mubai was forced to come out again and found out that Yu Jiaolong's master was the villain Blue-eyed Fox. After a fierce battle, Li Mubai was poisoned and Yu Jiaolong jumped off the cliff and died.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a classic work by the famous martial arts master Wang Dulu during the civil period. Wang Dulu and the "Fantasy Fairy School" Huanzhu Lou, the "Social Illusionist" Gong Baiyu, the "Gang Fighting Sect" Zheng Zhengyin, and the "Strange Incest Reasoning Sect" Zhu Zhenmu, all known as the "Five Great Masters of the Northern School".
Wang Dulu created the "tragic chivalrous" faction, and the model of "young boys and girls joining in the world" that originated in later generations was created by him.
Although the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is adapted from Chinese martial arts and is about a story with a background in China, the core of the story is actually American, not Chinese "chivalrous stories", but Western "bathing and depression".
Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian have a crush on each other, but because Yu Xiulian's deceased husband is Li Mubai's sworn brother, the two can only bury their feelings deeply in their hearts and dare not confess their love.
Yu Jiaolong and Luo Xiaohu, one is the daughter of the government, and the other is the leader of the thief of the Yangtze River. Their status can be said to be very different, but extremely dazzling sparks were created between the two, just like a meteor that was extremely gorgeous.
Unfortunately, this relationship did not last long, because Yu Jiaolong then developed feelings for Li Mubai. Li Mubai died to save her, and she also jumped off the cliff and died because of Li Mubai.
Yu Xiulian and Yu Jiaolong, one is cold on the outside and warm on the inside, and have thousands of knots in their hearts, but because of the constraints of ethics, they suppress their inner hopes; the other is hot on the outside and cold on the inside, they seem to dare to love and hate, and they are passionate like fire, but in fact they are as cold as ice inside. The parents who raised them, the master who taught martial arts, the loving Qing people who were once in love, and the sisters who respect each other had no place in her heart, and she only lived for herself. The two happened to be in an opposing relationship.
Li Mubai and Yu Jiaolong, one chased and the other escaped, and the love sprouted. Because of this relationship, Li Mubai sacrificed himself to save Yu Jiaolong and died under the poisonous needle of the blue-eyed fox. Because of this relationship, Yu Jiaolong was unwilling to follow Luo Xiaohu back to the desert, and jumped into a cliff on Wudang Mountain.
Because the core of its story is Western, including the love between Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian, and Yu Jiaolong and Luo Xiaohu dare to love and hate, and love and entanglement, the movie has a very good reputation and box office in North America.
In his previous life, it was the first Chinese-language film to win a box office of over 100 million US dollars in the United States, and it also won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, which shows its classic.

I hope that Columbia Pictures will perform better in the summer.
"Mr. Xia, your script is really good." Robert Eiger kept praising after reading it.
Among these scripts, there are art films like "Beautiful Mind", action films like "Charlie's Angel", "Fast and Furious", "Tomb Raider", and comedy films like "The Princess Diary"... The content can be said to be very rich, and the story is also very good. He seemed to see the money waving to him.
