Chapter 1053: Sit back and enjoy it

As an action thriller with a cost of more than 10 million dollars, Doom Crazy Flower really has nothing to promote and market.

The two leading actresses, Susan Sarandon in her forties, have won an Oscar nomination for Best Actress, and Gina Davis is thirty-four years old and just won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress two years ago.

Both of these are powerful factions, there's no doubt about that.

But most of the movies they starred in in the past were thrillers and dramas, and their box office appeal was really not much.

At this point, the big-mouthed Zhu who slept with the enemy was young and beautiful, twenty-three years old, tall and long-legged, and beautiful, which really attracted the audience I don't know how many times they did.

As for the director, although Ridley Scott has directed successful blockbusters such as Alien, the audience is not familiar with him, and secondly, and most importantly, he made a big bad movie a few years ago, and even now is still recognized, Blade Runner.

When Shao Yifu heard that Qiao Feng had a movie that hired Ridley Scott as a producer and director, the sixth uncle called Qiao Feng as soon as possible, and the meaning was that Qiao Feng should choose the director carefully, at least not Ridley Scott.

Why is this happening?

Among the biggest investors in Blade Runner is Uncle Shao.

It was almost ten years ago, Uncle Shao Liushu invested in Blade Runner, and the real money was nearly 10 million US dollars, but the result was that Blade Runner, who invested 28 million US dollars, only got back 33 million US dollars at the box office.

This loss is not counting the cost of publicity, counting the cost of publicity, the loss is even more.

Ridley Scott, this is the top director in Hollywood in the future, and has made such a word-of-mouth commercial film as Gladiator, The Martian, etc.

But at this time, it turned out to be not so trusted.

And all of this is a matter of Blade Runner's pot.

A few years later, Blade Runner was considered the greatest science fiction movie in the history of cinema, and in a survey conducted by the British newspaper The Guardian in 2004, 60 scientists considered "Blade Runner" to be the best science fiction film in film history, and even surpassed "2001: A Space Odyssey".

In the "50 Greatest Science Fiction Movies" selected by the veteran British film magazine "Complete Cinema", Blade Runner ranked first.

But when Blade Runner was first released, big multimedia received rave reviews of the film, and critics also ridiculed it in all sorts of fancy.

Until now, the evaluation of Blade Runner has not been reversed much.

This is still among film critics, in the hearts of the audience, this movie many years ago has always been synonymous with bad movies.

At this time, he used Ridley Scott's name to promote, saying that this is a new film made by a director who once directed Blade Runner, so don't think about having a good box office.

And the others, that is, the other male characters, are basically disappointing and even desperate disgraceful, unreasonable husbands, shameless villains, untrustworthy boyfriends, ruthless and unrighteous gangsters, annoying tanker truck drivers, and the only seemingly sympathetic policeman who seems to be even more helpless.

This is also the reason why Qiao Feng did not let Chinese actors play it, knowing that this film has a good reputation, especially the actresses.

In this kind of story, if you want two Chinese actresses to play it, even if it is only one of them, the American media will definitely catch this spray, saying that it is belittling white people and discriminating against white men.

Don't believe it, the American media is really capable of making such illogical accusations and smears.

And Qiao Feng didn't want two Chinese actresses to play them, because these two heroines, if white actresses played, then the whole movie would be the awakening of women's rights, and it was for the purpose of women's rights.

But if you let two Chinese actresses play it, not only will it not be about women's rights, but it will even be generally considered or led by the media, and Chinese women are robbers and murderers.

Speaking of male roles, actresses are not too well-known, and male characters as foils will not be well-known.

Don't look at the movie Crazy Flower of the End, there is a handsome BiGeorge Clooney, and he auditioned five times in a row and was brushed down, and the last one to get the role was another handsome Bibrad Pitt.

By the way, both of these two are the leading actors of the original Ocean's Eleven.

And the reason why Brad Pitt was chosen is because of the fact that Arhat Eleven, which has not yet been released, Brad has participated, but George Clooney has not.

So, the handsome man auditioned five times than George Clooney and was beaten down.

And neither George Clooney nor Brad Pitt, who has been brushed down, is now enough to serve as a propaganda point.

If ten years later, twenty years later, just by virtue of the names of these two people, the topic of the Crazy Flower of Doom is full, and if George Clooney is released and fails to be selected for five auditions, then the movie will be even more unscreened.

But now in 1991, these two farts are not, George Clooney is still struggling for his acting career, Brad Pitt is better, but it is not much better, you must know that the role that these two handsome people are competing for is just a little white face who cheats money and sex, and does not have many scenes.

In all respects, there is nothing to promote at the end of the road, just about the same theme, they are all released under the banner of feminism and sleeping with the enemy, and the box office is a big hit, winning 100 million US dollars at the box office in a month and a half.

In several random questionnaire surveys of passers-by by professional companies, the audience with interest in watching the movie accounted for 65% of the surveyed people, and 31% said that they would definitely go to see it.

Among them, women who choose to go to the movies account for the vast majority, reaching 57 percent, and most of them are between 25 and 45 years old.

Based on this, MGM came to a general conclusion that the theme and concept of the Crazy Flower of the End are indeed in line with the current environment of the awakening of women's rights and interests.

In the end, MGM's box office expectations for Spending at the End are $130 million to $150 million.

Because the box office exceeded 100 million after a month and a half of its release, both the film schedule and the attendance rate have dropped significantly, so all parties have set box office expectations for sleeping with the enemy at around 120 million or 30 million US dollars.

MGM believes that the wind of women's rights has been blown up by sleeping with the enemy, and as a latecomer who sits back and enjoys its success, the box office of the end of the wild flower must be higher than that of sleeping with the enemy.

So, MGM's box office has added a little bit on the basis of sleeping with the enemy.

Then, the end of the crazy flower was released, and the praise was overwhelming.
