Eight weeks after its release, the box office of "Sniper Phone Booth" was not able to inject [stimulant] again, and it slowly declined all the way. Finally, the cumulative box office of "Sniper Phone Booth, ... was fixed at the figure of 223 million US dollars. With one Tens of millions of investment, in exchange for 2200% of the income. After the shiny dark horse of "My Grand Greek Wedding", "Sniper Phone Booth" has also become a typical case of changing from small to large in 2002.

"Sniper Phone Booth" is Evan Bell's third film released this year. Although "Ice Age" is only dubbed, it is also included in the list of works. "Ice Age" and "Sniper Phone Booth" exceeded 200 million. Among the five films with such high box office, Evan and Bell alone have occupied two places. One hundred million U.S. dollars.

Not only the box office, but Evan Bell's performances in "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night," and "Sniper Phone Booth" have been praised by countless people. The dubbing of "Ice Age" is also loved by everyone. Evan Bell has become a new generation. Acting representative.

Last year, Evan-Bell turned out in music, dominating the 44th Grammy Awards: this year, Evan-Bell showed unstoppable domineering in film. The slander incident in July did not have any negative impact on Evan-Bell. Instead, it was a blessing in disguise, and the popularity of the name "Evan-Bell" with the halo of a civilian hero rose sharply.

At the same time, Evan Bell's performance in music has never been disappointing. After ending the promotion of the first series with "Hello, Cold World", "Better than Hallelujah" opened the prelude to the second series. "Never Walk Alone" and then "Don't Leave" Evan Bell's presence throughout the current three seasons of 2002, showing strong strength on both the Billboard and ITUNES.

After returning from backpacking, Evan-Bell was first involved in the promotion of "Sniper Phone Booth", the third single of Evan-Bell's second series on Monday, September 9th, as the 9/11 anniversary was approaching. "Stubborn" is officially released: "Never Walk Alone" is a joint project between Evan Bell and Linkin Park... The special single was not included in the promotion list of Evan Bell's second album.

On the first day of the release of "Stubborn", more than 60 media outlets sent their music reviews of the song at the first time. Even when top singers released a single, such a grand event may not be seen.

The reason is actually a trade-off between media and artists.

After the slander incident, the media was more or less apologetic towards Evan-Bell. If Evan-Bell took the initiative to befriend the media or launch activities, the effect would have been good. At the beginning, David Greenblatt took a fancy to this point, and he always hoped that Evan Bell could take this opportunity to lay a solid foundation for the relationship between Eleven Studio and the media.

But Evan-Bell actually left, actually!

This move by Evan Bell made the media quite stunned, but unexpectedly, he felt that he was ignored. The original thought of being a little sorry for Evan-Bell disappeared. As Evan-Bell disappears for more time, don't say sorry, even Evan-Bell is no longer the focus of reporting in the ever-changing entertainment industry.

If it weren't for "Never Walk Alone" and "Don't Leave," the two songs have been on the list all the time, reminding everyone that although Evan-Bell can't find anyone, his influence is still not to be underestimated.

To say that the media's attitude towards Evan-Bell is actually a bit contradictory. On the one hand, he is annoyed by Evan-Bell's ignorance and casualness toward the media; Well, otherwise, if the media is cruel, no matter how big the artist will be, it will just be blocked. Coupled with the topic of Evan-Bell, the media couldn't let it go. Therefore, the media really love and help Evan-Bell.

At the end of August, Evan Bell made a strong appearance at the "Track Rock Music Festival", shining on the stage: followed by the sweeping trend of "Sniper Phone Booth". The media discovered that no matter how long Evan Bell disappeared, his charm His ability is there, not diminished in the slightest by not promoting non-cooperation. On the contrary, Evan Bell's popularity with the general audience has reached a whole new level after the slander.

The audience is the food and clothing parents of the artists, and they are also the food and clothing parents of the media.

The tastes and preferences of the audience are what the media strives for. In this case, the media also had to pay attention to Evan-Bell, plus the slight apology in the defamation incident, when the special song "Stubborn" represents both the psychological process of the defamation incident and the representative When Evan ※Bell re-emerged in public with the official song, the media naturally became lively.

Sixty-three, this is the exact number of media that wrote music reviews for "Stubborn" on September 9.

Adam Roy was published in the "Rolling Stone" music review, and gave a score of 9:4, which is the same as the score when he commented on "Don't Leave,", and shared the honor of the highest score in the history of this senior music critic. This shows that in Adam Roy's view, "stubbornness" and "don't leave" are irrelevant. The specific content of the music review shows the actual meaning of the score in detail.

"Guitar, drums, keyboard" is stubborn, the basic melody of this song, although other instruments have been added to the arrangement, but Evan has obviously grasped the essence of the song, using the most appropriate music to compile the most beautiful melody. Just like "Don't leave, the most primitive and simple guitar strings in the middle" stubborn, the arrangement is perfect. Not only is it blended with the lyrics just right, but it also shows the youth, vitality, publicity, and vigor of the word "stubbornness."

Many people have put their eyes on "stubbornness, the idea of ​​this song, and it is indeed true." My stubbornness and I are like a microcosm of Evan's xìng, and let us see the unruly and unruly again. The tame independent musician also made us feel the state of mind of embarking on a backpacking trip without any nostalgia. The lyrics of this song are like a beautiful poem, whispered in a low voice, and I feel something in my heart. But in fact "stubborn, this song not only has a beautiful artistic conception, but also a great success in melody and arrangement, but also shows that Evan is becoming more and more mature.

Evan Bell can definitely be said to be a unique new discovery in the American music scene in the first three years of the 21st century. "

Except for Adam Roy, the media's comments seem to fall into the clichés, and the lyrics are all praised at a large scale, but this time there are many excellent comments in the song mí. Stephanie Pamore wrote a music review that was posted on "Rotation", but later posted her thoughts as a song mí on her blog "Starlight", expressing the heart of all song mí.

"It's hard to imagine that after the slander incident, there will be so many faithful songs mí supporting Evan Yigel.

As we all know, the great harm caused by Song mí to Evan in the slander incident and the so-called betrayal of Song mí have become an indelible turning point in the whole incident. But after experiencing a song mí crisis, why did Evan-Bell get more support for more song mí? From "don't leave," and "stubbornness," we can find the answer.

"Just this time, my stubbornness and my stubbornness. Evan once said that he was looking for his bosom friend, a bosom friend is enough, and blind obedience is too little. Some people have laughed at this sentence, some people have ignored it, some people have ignored it. Ironically, especially when the slander broke out, it became a big joke.

However, this time, on the matter of bosom friend, Evan was unwilling to compromise. He and his stubbornness were unwilling to give in. He had the opportunity to reconcile with the media, he had the opportunity to use the public's guilt to win fans, and he had the opportunity to call the storm, but he chose to turn around and leave. His stubbornness, in the eyes of many people, is stupidity and a show: but in our eyes, it is Evan Bell, that is, Evan Bell, that stubbornness has become the most dazzling light in him.

Maybe, Evan will be stained with copper odor, he will not refuse the opportunity in the business field: maybe, Evan will suddenly disappear, he has talents in psychology, architectural design, clothing;

Maybe, Evan will continue to be stupid and insist only for the sake of being a good friend But no matter what Evan becomes, as long as his stubbornness does not disappear, I will be his firm support How can business be independent, how can slander be praised, how can music and film be in other professional fields, Evan and his stubbornness are the direction I am going.

The lighthouse in the voyage becomes the guide for the ship in the vast sea: Evan's stubbornness is the longing of my life. This kind of vision is hard to buy. "

Stephanie-Pamore's blog is too subjective and has lost her objective position as a commenter, so she did not submit it to "Rotation" as a draft, but only published it on her personal blog. However, this music review has gained a high popularity on the Internet.

Just because more and more people can't see Evan-Bell as an ordinary artist: just because he is a vision, the vision of countless people.

In the face of the unstoppable pace of "Sniper Phone Booth": Among the phenomenal praise with a comprehensive score of 9.2 points from 63 media: "Stubborn" in the direction of itunes and physical sales, riding the wind and waves, opened the first "Don't Leave" after Two music frenzy.
