But what happens when Hugh Grant leaves the UK? It can be said that he failed in most of the cases, such as this time "Music and Lirics" (Music and Lirics).
Hugh Grant plays a stale singer who debuted in the 1980s. When his career was about to come to an end, a popular singer invited him to sing, and he was about to turn over, but he found that he was in desperate need of inspiration and lyrics. So it happened that at this time he met Drew Barrymore, who had just been frustrated, and the Love Story began.
From the summary of the story, it can be seen that the plot is not new, but it is not fatal. The plot is not new but there are more successful movies in the end, but this movie is also lacking in other aspects, the performance is not surprising, the story is The way of expression is flat and straightforward, and all kinds of old-fashioned routines take turns in battle... Only music is still a bright spot, but it is not a musical after all.
Romance films have indeed shown a decline in the past two years. I think it’s not the audience’s interest that has shifted, but the quality of this type of film is getting worse and worse. Shey Myers' "Holiday" was not very successful. This time, "Composing Love Songs Together" still continues this trend. Is the romance really dead?
The most pitiful thing about this film is not that he hasn't done it well, the key is that it hasn't done it badly. In this way, it will not be able to get widespread attention from the critics, and it will not be able to stir up topics. So in the end, the box office in North America is the same as the movie, staying at around 50 million US dollars. At this point, "Composing Love Songs" should really learn from Chinese blockbusters. I'm not afraid of you scolding, but I'm afraid you don't care. Look at other people's "Promise" and "Night Banquet", don't they all have a box office of hundreds of millions? Although it is RMB.
The one I want to talk about most is Uncle Hugh. The word English has been injected into his bones. He is destined to be inseparable from the gray sky. "Four Weddings and a Funeral", "Notting Hill", "True Love First", "BJ Singles Diary" are not all based on the great success of the British island? After arriving in Hollywood, the British gentleman became an American "old boy", and what he brought was only a terrible plot and his fading face. Last year's "American Dream" and this year's "Composing Love Songs" together became the most failed movie since Hugh Grant became famous.
Also, why can Hugh Grant only play this kind of light comedy after he enters Hollywood? In addition to romance films, he also performed many types of movies when he was in the UK, such as Polanski's "Bitter Moon" and Ang Lee's "Sense and Sensibility", all of which were very successful. But since coming to Hollywood, Hugh has been flirting with each other endlessly, and there is a strong tendency to carry on love to the end before he is old and declining.
Why? Hollywood is a place where there are so many actors in excess. It doesn’t need to make you transition. You just need to continue your best performances. They dig out your surplus value, which is when you can leave Beverly Hills. NS.
From this we can also see why Zhang Ziyi can only be a hit girl or a Japanese in the United States, and why Jackie Jets chose to return to China when he was old.
As for Drew Barrymore, he is just a "little sweet" who plays himself in all movies without any change. Anyway, it's pretty cute, so let her continue.
