"Beauty and the Beast" has been released for 5 days, and the North American box office has exceeded 170 million US dollars (nearly 1.17 billion yuan), and the domestic box office has exceeded 350 million. Not only did it surpass last year's "Batman" of 166 million to create a new North American spring opening record, but it also set a new high for Disney animation adaptations of live-action movies. For Disney, who invested $160 million in the film, that was perfect.
Friends who have gone to the theater to brush the film feedback: Emma Watson's acting skills have not grown much. The male protagonist who plays with her is the biggest surprise of the whole film.
This friend, you have spoken out so much about your sister
The male protagonist who appeared in the audience for two minutes and left screaming for twenty years was the big cousin who was loved by everyone and blossomed, Dan Stevens.

Because he played the cousin of the heroine in "Downton Abbey", the nickname "Big Cousin" became popular in the domestic rice circle.
The eldest cousin, like Jitter Sen, is born in a famous school, and Yan Hao's acting skills are still typical academic bullies, but unlike Jitter Sen, the aristocratic temperament of the big cousin is not innate.
Dan Stevens was an orphan who he didn't even know who his birth mother was. He knew nothing about his bloodline, but out of deep love and gratitude for his adoptive parents, he never wanted to find his birth mother.
Born on 10 October 1982 in Croydon, Surrey, England, dan stevens was almost a child in an orphanage. It wasn't until he was seven years old that he was adopted by a teacher couple that he finally had a "home."
Dan Stevens studied English literature at Emanuel College, Cambridge. In his freshman year, he was selected by director Peter Hall to co-star with his daughter Rebecca in Macbeth by the Footlight Theater Society, and his acting career began logically.
After graduating from Cambridge, Dan devoted himself to acting. Because of his strong classical temperament, Dan has been favored by many period dramas.
In 2004, Dan participated in Peter Hall's Shakespeare work As You Like It, starring in the role of Orlando, which received rave reviews. That same year, he starred as Henry Claver in the miniseries Frankenstein, his screen debut.

In 2006, he first picked a beam as the male protagonist, playing a small gay who broke into high society in the mini-series "Beautiful Curve".
In 2008, Dan played Edward Floss in Sense and Sensibility.
In 2010, Dan starred in the period drama Downton Abbey, which was an important turning point in his acting career. The eldest cousin made a stunning appearance, spread all over the world and encompassed a piece of fan sisters and fans.

Downton Abbey has been called the best period drama since the '95 version of Pride and Prejudice.
Even if you haven't seen the show, you must have heard of it.
Huge family stories, delicate line dialogue, full of contradictory character entanglements, and the calm lens language set off the human life of the British upper nobility and slaves.
As far as the plot is concerned, it has all the classic qualities of a British era drama.
"Downton Abbey" also used the specific costumes in the play to make people re-recognize the delicacy of Victorian clothing in the 1900s, leading a wave of British retro fashion trends.
In that era, the British dressed in a very elaborate style, especially for British women, and each prop costume showed the unique charm of the character to the extreme.
Dan Stevens plays the lawyer Matthew Crowley, a distant cousin of the Earl, who was invited to move to the estate after learning of the succession to the title and the Downton family property.
He represents the British middle class, and in the play he brilliantly interprets a completely different way of doing things from the British bourgeoisie.
In the play, Crowley is deeply in love with Mrs. Mary, and the two go through many twists and turns to become good couples, but in the end, the eldest cousin unfortunately died in a car accident, which happened to be the day their first child was born.
The unexpected death of the eldest cousin detonated an atomic bomb in the Fan Circle of Downton Drama. Even the screenwriter of "Downton Abbey" had to personally explain why he had to write his eldest cousin to death, and Dan himself also apologized to the fans: in order to find a new breakthrough in acting, the contract expired and decided not to renew the contract.
The eldest cousin bid farewell to "Downton Abbey", but his gentlemanly image in the play has become a personable representative of the fans.
The man who wears the most suits, The Face, has always been the best spokesperson for the British gentleman, and Dan's being used by Hollywood as Colin Feith's successor is enough to see how deeply rooted his gentleman's elegance is.

The eldest cousin who left Tang Jiatun began his transformation path. First of all, the fat cousin of the baby who lost 30 pounds from the mouth of Chinese netizens that "the chin can catch the fly" was slimmed down into a hanger that dressed thin and stripped naked.
Not only won CQ's Clothing of the Year Award,
He also joined forces with Peacock Matt Pomo and Chen Kun to perform Armani's Made to Measure tailor-made series of advertising campaigns.
New characters are also constantly being tried on the screen. For example, the perverted killer in "The Uninvited Guest",
"Admission Ticket" in the blind man in the struggle of human nature,
The mighty knight in "Museum Fantastic Night 3",
The mutants in "The Swarm" whose personality is split to the extreme,
"Beauty and the Beast" A cursed prince who looks back and smiles to charm all beings...

British F4 Shake Sen, Roll Fu, Big Cousin, Little Freckles, all love to read.
In addition to acting, Dan's favorite thing to do is to read. During the filming of "Downton Abbey", in order to facilitate reading, Dan deliberately sewed a pocket containing a Kindle in the costume and took it out when he was resting.
To date, he has recorded 30 audio books, which has become a boon and motivation for many fans to learn English.
Dan's writing is also quite level. He is not only a columnist for the Sunday Telegraph, but also an editor-in-chief of the online literary magazine The Junket, and has been invited to serve as a judge for the Booker Prize, a major award in the British novel industry.
Not only can I read and write, but I also have a talent for language.
Once a girl complained on Twitter that he was slightly fat and his chin could catch flies, and he replied with a Chinese: "I can understand Chinese!" ”
He then confidently added his Twitter profile to Chinese, calling himself the "occasional chirping dragon."
The nickname "Dan Danlong" was created in the interaction with Chinese fans
It is said that the eldest cousin will use Google Translate to study the messages of Chinese fans when he has nothing to do. From time to time, I will interact with fans on Twitter with Zhong (Valley) text (song).

In Downton Abbey, Mrs. Mary is Crowley's lifelong love. In real life, Dan Stevens' heart is only dead to one person, Susie Hariet.
Susie Hariet is a South African beauty who was a former jazz singer who later taught vocal music.
In 2006, both Dan Stevens and Susie Hariet worked at the theatre in Sheffield. By chance, the two met, and Dan fell in love with Susie Hariet, who was 7 years older than himself.
Three years later, the two were married. Married, he had a son and a daughter, the eldest daughter Willow was born in 2009, and the son Aubrey was born in 2012.
It is now the 11th year that the two have gone hand in hand. As long as it appears in pairs, it will be the scene of dog abuse.
The two children of the two will also play soy sauce, but the couple protects the child quite well, the exposure on the Internet is very low, and it is almost impossible to find photos of the children.
The flower is like a poison lord, who can only silently eat dog food and lick the screen thousands of miles away.
