"The online pre-sale of "Interstellar" exceeded 30 million US dollars, ranking first among all movies in the Christmas file!"
"The Christmas file ushered in a sci-fi masterpiece, and "Interstellar" will take you to appreciate the infinite charm of the vast universe. ”
"Do you want to experience the charm of interstellar travel, on December 24th, walk into the theater, "Interstellar" will give you everything you want!"
Whether it's a paper newspaper or a magazine, or an online media, or even on a TV channel, people have been able to see advertisements about "Interstellar" for a long time in recent times, and many people who are not even interested in movies know that during the Christmas holidays, a good sci-fi film called "Interstellar" will be released.
The North American box office exceeded 30 million, which directly proves the public's interest in this movie.
In the eyes of many film companies, Nie Wei with his new movie "Interstellar" is like a peerless general who is on the battlefield, and now he is just accumulating his momentum step by step, and when the momentum reaches its peak, he will suddenly attack and cut the opponent to the ground.
"Hmph, the higher you stand, the worse you fall. Some people commented with a sour heart.
But there are still people who agree with these words.
Don't look at the media and film critics who now tout this "Interstellar" as the best sci-fi movie in the decade, which has made this movie attract the attention of countless audiences, but at the same time, it also gives the audience a very good impression of this movie.
But it cannot be ignored that the tastes of film critics are not the same as those of the audience, and what they think is good, the audience does not necessarily think it is good.
Now it's blowing so high, but when the audience walks into the film industry with full expectations, only to find that the movie is not as good as they thought, then they will naturally turn this loss into anger and turn it back on the movie.
It's a terrible thing.
You must know that an eighty-point movie is enough to be called excellent, but because the audience has a standard of ninety points in their hearts, after watching an eighty-point movie, they feel that this movie is not satisfactory anywhere, and they will naturally give a bad review when they look back.
There are too many bad reviews, which will create the illusion that the movie is poor, even if the movie can be rated 80 points.
But on the contrary, if a movie is only 60 points, and how bad it is to promote the movie before its release, it can also attract audiences, and they walk into the cinema with the intention of watching a joke, only to find that the movie is unexpectedly good, at least a lot higher than they expected to be 10 or 20 minutes, then they will give a good review in retrospect.
If there are many praises, it will also create an illusion, that is, this movie that can only be regarded as a passing grade is very good, at least much better than the eighty-point movie.
Many good movies were killed like this, but the box office plummeted, and after a few years it was turned out, people found out that this movie was really good, and then a bunch of people would jump out and say that they owed the director a movie ticket, but at that time, maybe the director would have changed his career to selling pork.
Nie Wei is not afraid of killing, he has full confidence in his movies.
This "Interstellar" may be difficult to surpass "Inception" at the box office, but in terms of word-of-mouth, Nie Wei believes that it is definitely not bad, and it will even be better.
Compared with the pseudo-sci-fi of Inception, "Interstellar" is a real hardcore sci-fi, and it is backed by a lot of realistic science, and such a movie will definitely make sci-fi fans extremely satisfied.
Many young people in China also spend Christmas, the 24th is Christmas Eve, and on the 23rd, you will see many people holding a beautifully packaged small box in their hands, most of which contain an apple.
In fact, Christmas in China has little to do with Europe and the United States, Chinese people will neither hang socks at the bedside when they sleep at night, parents will not get up in the middle of the night to give gifts to their children, nor will they eat turkey and gingerbread, at most, the merchants put a Christmas tree full of colorful lights at the door in order to attract customers, but there will be no gifts for children under the Christmas tree.
Chinese people don't believe that there will be any Santa Claus at all, and the reason why Christmas has become popular in China is just because merchants are selling goods and young people are looking for a reason to celebrate.
Europeans and Americans will not send any so-called apples on Christmas Eve, because this is completely invented by the Chinese themselves, many Chinese businessmen like to play homophonic stalks, such as Christmas Eve apples, which means eating apples to keep safe, or sick and hospitalized to eat peaches, because they can quickly escape from the disease, but in the final analysis, these are all nonsense by merchants in order to sell their goods.
However, this is also a tradition handed down by the ancestors, and the Chinese people believe in this, and the blessing of homophonic words is deeply engraved in the bones of everyone in China.
Many movie theaters have also expanded their business on this day, and the theater stores have also begun to put a lot of beautifully packaged fruits, and some young couples who are ready to come to see the zero point stall and have not bought apples will buy two after seeing them, and then give them to each other, waiting for a while to walk into the theater and eat apples while watching a movie.
Huang Mo is a single dog, and no one gave him apples, but he still bought one for himself.
In addition to Apple, he also bought popcorn and Coke, and as a loyal sci-fi fan, he was ready to watch a big show for a while.
Nie Wei's "Interstellar" has aroused the appetite of countless science fiction fans after these days of publicity, and film critics have blown this movie into the sky, which has also made countless science fiction fans hungry and thirsty, just waiting for the day of the release into the cinema to enjoy the film.
The movie tickets for "Interstellar" IAX-3D have long been sold out, even if it costs as much as 120 yuan, but Huang Mo, who has a monthly income of only 2,000, still did not hesitate to book it as soon as possible.
At this moment, looking at the little couple who were constantly looking for scalpers and wanted to buy IAX-3D movie tickets, Huang Mo was full of a sense of superiority.
What about showing affection, I can watch 3D, you can only watch 2D.
Time passed little by little, and before I knew it, it was 23:40, and the cinema was also opened for admission for the first time, Huang Mo took out his smartphone and showed the QR code for taking the ticket to the conductor, who swiped it with a special scanner, and the screen over there showed Huang Mo's personal information and movie tickets.
"Mr. Wong, IAX Hall 1. The staff of the film industry said politely.
Huang Mo smiled and thanked him, why does he like to come to the film industry under the Star Cinema Line to watch movies? First, because the IAX theater of the Star Cinema Line is the best, and it is also the theater chain with the most IAX theaters in the country, and secondly, because the service attitude here is very good.
When I went to other movie theaters, many of the staff looked like I was busy and didn't ask me, just like the staff of Fanxing Cinema, who trained them all like the service staff of those high-end brand counters, who were enthusiastic and polite.
With his own food, Huang Mo found the No. 1 screening hall with familiarity, and quickly found his seat inside.
The location is very good, the middle of the four rows, is the most golden viewing position in the entire screening hall, in order to grab this position, he specially picked a luxury Internet café of 20 yuan per hour, and it took a night to get it.
After he swiped the ticket, he also posted the ticket and location in his circle of friends, and someone asked him if he could issue a ticket, and he was willing to double it, but Huang Mo just pouted when he saw this news, not to mention double, it was ten times and a hundred times...... A hundredfold, he may really have to think about it, but doubling is obviously impossible.
The movie started quickly.
In the first ten minutes, Huang Mo felt a little bored, there were no super special effects, and the plot was also very flat, except for the 'ghost' that made him a little interested, he was about to doze off.
However, as the male protagonist Cooper discovered the research institute and the professor told about the 'plan to save humanity', Huang Mo's spirit came.
With the development of the plot, Huang Mo gradually devoted himself to the movie, and was full of enthusiasm for the passionate soundtrack of "Starry Night", and also yearned for the universe because of the mysterious and eternal voice of "Stay".
The blue earth, Saturn's rings, and the spherical black holes, the planets covered with seawater......
There are also countless sciences, anti-gravity formulas, relativity theory, and multi-dimensional space, Huang Mo has long since become energetic from the very beginning of drowsiness, and his eyes are shining.
And as the film reveals the mystery step by step, he has a feeling of goosebumps all over his body, one link after another, the plot that once made him feel bored or didn't care about, but in the end it brought him a deep shock.
In the past three hours, when Huang Mo walked out of the movie theater again, the shock in his eyes still did not dissipate, it is worth mentioning that he had a bucket of popcorn, a glass of Coke and an apple in his arms, from beginning to end, he actually patronized watching a movie and completely forgot to eat these things.
Like Huang Mo, there are many sci-fi fans who are shocked by this movie, like this hardcore sci-fi movie, which they really haven't seen for many years.
The technical terms in the movie deeply fascinate these sci-fi fans, and after watching the movie, they even have a feeling of benefit.
"Blow up "Interstellar", the best sci-fi movie of the year!"
"It's not just this year, it's the best sci-fi movie I've seen in the past decade, and 'Interstellar' really moved me as a sci-fi fan for 20 years. ”
"Upstairs is exaggerated, can it be better than "Inception"?"
"It's not a category that can't be compared, "Inception" is a suspense film dressed in the skin of science fiction, and "Interstellar" is a truly orthodox science fiction movie!"
"Anyway, "Inception" is the best science fiction movie in history, and those who blow "Interstellar" should wash and sleep. ”
"Inception is the strongest and does not accept rebuttals. ”
"Interstellar is the best, upstairs has the ability to go to the theater to watch it and then shout. ”
"I've seen it, it's good, but I still think Inception is better. ”
To the surprise of many people, the fans of "Interstellar" quarreled with the fans of "Inception", and the purpose was very simple, just to prove who is the best science fiction movie, for this matter, this group of people quarreled from Chaohua to Huayi's official website forum, and from Huayi's official website forum to Nie Wei's Weibo.
They wanted Nie Wei to stand up and give them an answer.
Nie Wei stood up and responded, but he didn't make a multiple-choice question, but left a sentence.
"Don't impose your ideas on others, respect other people's choices, and respect your own choices. ”
After arguing all night, the top three on the Weibo hot search list were all related topics, but because of Nie Wei's words, it stopped.
But the popularity of "Interstellar" has risen to a new level.
Soon, the first-day box office of "Interstellar" was released, and the single-day box office of Huaxia was 370 million, setting a new first-day box office record in the mainland.
In North America, the box office of "Interstellar" on the first day was 32 million, which was decent, but it still became the single-day box office champion of the Christmas file without any pressure.
Although there are no big surprises at the box office, in terms of word-of-mouth, "Interstellar" leads the Christmas file with a big advantage.
Rotten Tomatoes has a freshness of 99 and an IDB score of 97, which is definitely the strongest word-of-mouth start for science fiction movies in the past decade.
Keanu's out-of-fashion superstar career has regained its second spring, and Max Films received endorsement invitations from more than ten international brands on the first day of the film's release, and Keanu seemed to have returned to the era of the "Matrix" fire for a while.
And Zhang Ziyi's fame in North America has also risen with the release time of the movie, not only has she received millions more Facebook followers, but she has also received a lot of product endorsement invitations.
Of course, what made this woman happiest was that within just one week of the movie's release, she received no less than three invitations to celebrity parties.
When she received the invitation, she knew that she had entered the upper circle of Hollywood, and her identity as a star was finally recognized by this circle.
This made Zhang Ziyi very happy, how many years have passed, she has finally made her head in Hollywood.
Of course, the most direct thing to witness the rise in popularity of the two is the salary, Keanu is a superstar, but in fact, he is outdated, so when filming "Interstellar", his salary Nie Wei only gave five million, which is the market price, and Zhang Ziyi is cheaper, it only took two million to get it, this is also the reason why she acted in "Inception" and her popularity soared, you must know that when filming Inception before, Zhang Ziyi's salary was only one million.
With the release of "Interstellar", Keanu's external salary offer has risen to 10 million, and he also wants dividends from the box office of the movie, which is completely worth the value of a popular superstar.
Zhang Ziyi is not bad, her salary has risen to five million, reaching the level of a first-class female star in Hollywood.
Of course, these are just asking prices, and the two have no plans to take on new dramas for the time being, but it is undeniable that this quotation recognized by the market has proved the rise of the two in this circle.
