No one will sleep tonight!

By the time the movie ended, it was already around 11 o'clock in the evening!

When Wu Jianye walked out of the theater, he met Martin Lloyd again, Wu Jianye had an impression of Martin Lloyd, and last time he was the first film critic to speak out for "People and Ghosts"!

"Director Wu, congratulations, this is going to be a box office hit again!" Martin Lloyd said this first thing after seeing Wu Jianye.

Judging from the reaction in the theater just now, not to mention the artistic value of this movie, purely from a commercial point of view, it can be concluded that this is a thrilling movie!

Such a movie meets almost all the elements of a blockbuster movie, even the starring lineup that has been criticized by the media before, the performance in the movie is also very perfect, coupled with computer special effects that live up to expectations and even exceed everyone's imagination, if such a movie is not a big hit, then there will be no big hit movie in Hollywood!

When communicating with Wu Jianye, Martin Lloyd not only thought of another "Captain Hooke" that was released at the same time, but at this time Martin Lloyd began to worry about this movie, although he did not go to see "Captain Hook", but after the movie, he immediately called his peers.

"No matter how sincere you are, you can't get rid of that huge sense of boredom!"

The peers replied with a tone of loss and disappointment, they did not expect Spielberg to make such a boring movie.......

"It's definitely a movie that makes you believe there's nothing wrong with it!"

This is a sentence from Martin Lloyd to introduce "Jurassic Park" to his peers!

The pros and cons of the two films in film critics can be seen from their conversations!

Wu Jianye smiled and said to Martin Lloyd: "Thank you, I can make everyone like it, this is the most important thing!"

The two just chatted a few words, and then separated, and at this time, the audience who came out of the theater was also stopped by reporters from all walks of life, as well as people from major production companies, asking how it was like to watch this movie.

Although the critics' point of view is important, the audience is the driving force behind the box office for this film, and only their reaction can truly let people know the potential of this movie!

"I'm going to watch this movie again tomorrow, the dinosaurs in it are so exciting!" Liam walked out of the theater and was stopped by a reporter from The Hollywood Reporter!

"Is this movie really good?" the reporter asked.

"Is it good? please remove it, this is the best movie I've seen in years!" Liam said excitedly.

Fiona coughed twice.

"Oh....... "Ghost Love" is also the best movie I've seen in recent years!" Liam's desire to survive is very strong.

Fiona smiled happily.

"When I saw this movie, I couldn't be happier!" said a fan who was being interviewed elsewhere.

"The sci-fi story and the rhythm of the story are really amazing, and director Wu Jianye is really talented. ”

"Amazing imagination, extraordinary story, for this movie, I can't describe his excellence in words!"

.......

Looking at the feedback of these fans, the reporters of the newspaper media just faithfully recorded their answers, while the people in the production company, after hearing such answers, their mood became more and more heavy!

They also watched the movie, and if they put aside the positions of both sides, they also agreed with the answers of these fans, but when they stood in their own position, the fans' evaluation of this movie made them feel mixed in their hearts!

Regardless, they immediately reported the information they had gathered to their superiors.

As for how Phantom Pictures will operate the film in the later process, and how its own company will deal with it, that's all a matter at the top.

Wu Jianye and others also returned to the headquarters of Phantom Pictures at this time, in the conference room, Wu Jianye, Linda, Johnson, Matthew Murphy and others were sitting there chatting, they were waiting for the theater below to report the box office results of today's premiere!

At this time, Matthew Murphy's white skin showed a slight flush, he was the last to come in, and before that, he also went to listen to the report of the people below, what the fans thought of this movie!

"The praise from fans is very high, and the movie is a success!" Matthew Murphy said excitedly.

This is the first project he has presided over after serving as the general manager of Phantom Pictures, although Linda has been in charge of it for a while, but after all, it was released after he took over Phantom Pictures, so the box office of "Jurassic Park" is particularly important to him now.

After finishing speaking, Matthew Murphy handed over the document made from the fan feedback he had collected to Wu Jianye and the three of them.

With a smug smile on his face, Johnson looked at the documents in his hand and said with a smile: "Haha, that's great!"

Wu Jianye glanced at the evaluation in his hand and asked, "Have you collected the evaluation of "Captain Hook"?"

The success of "Jurassic Park", when Wu Jianye was in the theater, he already knew the bottom of his mind according to the reaction of the audience, and now he cares about the audience feedback of "Captain Hook".

Matthew Murphy immediately said: "It hasn't been sorted out in detail, but according to the reports of the people below, it can probably be summarized as a mediocre work that lacks surprises, and it can't be compared with Spielberg's movies at his peak!"

After Wu Jianye listened, he nodded, with this reaction from fans, he can basically predict the results of this movie!

In another time and space, the box office of "Captain Hook" has just exceeded $100 million, but now when he faces the epic sci-fi film "Jurassic Park", I'm afraid he will be unlucky!

Linda and Johnson's faces brought smiles again, and the atmosphere in the conference room was very harmonious at this time!

On the other hand, Amblin Entertainment is cloudy at this time, Matthew Murphy got the audience review of "Jurassic Park", and Spielberg and Lucas naturally got the audience's evaluation of "Captain Hook"!

Fans' evaluation of "Captain Hook" is that it is a decent movie, there is not much to stand out, and there is nothing boring.

Purely a movie to pass the time!

Such an evaluation is still passing if it is a film directed by someone else, but for Spielberg director Lucas plus Robin Williams + Dustin Hoffman + Julia Roberts + "Peter Pan" such a dream combination, it is a complete failure!

Lucas asked in a deep voice, "Is the first day of the movie out?"

Spielberg shook his head and said, "Not yet!"

At this time, the mood of the two of them was very complicated, and they wanted to use this movie to kill Wu Jianye, but now in their hearts, they couldn't help but have the idea that this movie might fail.

"Is there any fan feedback about Jurassic Park?" Lucas continued.

Now Lucas can only hope that the fan feedback of the movie "Jurassic Park" will be even worse.

As soon as Spielberg shook his head, his secretary walked in with a stack of printed A4 papers.

"BOSS, this is about the fans' feedback on "Jurassic Park", we have compiled a few representative ones, please take a look!"

Spielberg took the report from his secretary's hand, and after just a few glances, the expression on his face became even more ugly!

Lucas saw Spielberg's expression, and out of understanding Spielberg, he knew that what he hoped for in his heart could not happen.

"Contact Universal Pictures today to get more publicity out about Captain Hook!" Lucas suggested.

At this time, this is the only way for them to use, and I believe that this kind of reputation will immediately appear in major media and newspapers tomorrow morning, and they must react quickly.

Spielberg thought the same thing, and immediately picked up the phone and began to communicate with the president of Universal Pictures about the matter.

At this time, not only Phantom Pictures, Amblin Entertainment, but also several other production companies also got evaluations about the two films.

There are fans and professional film critics!

If you simply look at the report, everyone knows that "Captain Hook" is going to lose this time!

However, whether a movie will succeed or not is not only determined by the opinions of fans and critics, if the film can find a different way to promote it, it should still be able to redeem some of it.

So after Spielberg contacted Universal Pictures, the other party immediately agreed to Spielberg's request.

You must know that before the movie is released, the publicity expenses of "Captain Hook" are all responsible for Universal Pictures, which means that the success or failure of this movie is also an extremely important thing for Universal Pictures.

Especially when Panasonic acquired Universal Pictures, it was already overwhelmed by Universal's debts, and originally wanted to use Spielberg's movie to recover some losses, if "Captain Hook" fails, then it will definitely be an even worse thing for Universal Pictures, which is already full of problems.

So the two sides only communicated briefly, and Universal Pictures immediately decided to come up with $10 million again as the cost of promoting "Captain Hook".

The president's offices of several other major production companies are also brightly lit at this time, and they are also waiting for the first-day box office of "Jurassic Park" and "Captain Hook".

For ordinary audiences, this is the showdown between Wu Jianye and Spielberg, but for these production companies, it is their policy for the future of Phantom Pictures.

After more than a year of development, Phantom Pictures is not only comparable to several major production companies in terms of scale, but even surpasses them, and this showdown is actually their last chance to delay the development of Phantom Pictures.

And Spielberg's "Captain Hook" is all their chips and their last hope!

Although it is not yet known about the first-day box office of the two films, they also got the opinions of critics and fans about these two films, just like Phantom Pictures and Amblin Entertainment.

It can be said that their hearts have also become cloudy and uncertain at this time.

In the first round of the contest between the two sides, they have already fallen behind!

Eisner sat in his office, looking at the two reports in his hand, the expression on his face was not sad or happy, and he looked very calm.

At this time, he was a little happy and a little worried in his heart!

Nicky because they have reached a consensus with Phantom Pictures, no matter who wins or loses in the end of these two movies, but one thing that can be concluded is that Wu Jianye has once again proved his success as a director and screenwriter.

This also gave him more confidence in the success of the animated film "Toy Story" that he signed with the Phantom before.

The worry is that if the results of the last two films are really the same as the opinions of fans and critics now, "Jurassic Park" is a big win at the box office, then the rise of Phantom Pictures will become unstoppable!

At that time, what should Disney's future be, whether to continue to stand with other production companies, boycott Phantom Pictures, or change its own company's strategy!

Another thing that worries Eisner is that before the release of the two films, Disney has announced that it will work with several other production companies to produce a sequel series to "Life and Death".

On top of that, the major studios originally wanted to undermine the confidence of Phantom Pictures in this way, so that they could not concentrate on arranging "Jurassic Park".

But now it seems that this blow has no effect on Phantom Pictures.......

And this kind of behavior also makes Disney seem to the Phantom to be a betrayal, and he doesn't know how the Phantom will look at this matter.

In fact, Eisner himself didn't know that when he thought so, he had actually slowly moved the balance in his heart in the direction of Phantom Pictures!

"Is the box office coming out on the first day?" asked Eisner in a deep voice to his secretary.

At this time, everyone is waiting for the first-day box office of the two movies, and some people want to see who wins and loses in the first-day box office showdown, but in Eisner's opinion, he can't wait that long, he wants to decide Disney's future relationship with Phantom Pictures after the first-day box office comes out!

Eisner's secretary looked a little worried, and said in a trembling voice: "It's not out yet, I've already paid attention to it, and I'll report it to us as soon as it comes out!"

"Hmph, what are you guys eating, it's already one o'clock in the morning, why haven't you come out yet?" said Eisner angrily.

Because computer technology is not yet mature, if you want to know the box office on the first day, you have to wait until two or three o'clock to know, but it is obvious that Eisner feels that time is passing very slowly.

Eisner's secretary hurriedly said, "I'll go and urge them right away!"

No matter how to urge, this kind of thing, can only wait for Phantom Pictures, Amblin Entertainment, and Universal Pictures to announce, and it is impossible for them to get specific figures.

The minutes went by.

2:37 a.m.!

A secretary barged into the conference room of Phantom Pictures and shouted, "The box office statistics are out!"
