Chapter 1037: Losing Your Mind
After the premiere, Ronan did not attend the press conference, with Jessica Filton preparing to return to the hotel where she was staying.
Before leaving the Hasbro Auditorium and getting ready to get on the bus, Ronan once again saw the same scale models of Optimus Prime and Megatron standing tall in front of the main entrance of the theater, and couldn't help but stand for a moment.
He has never denied his love for Transformers.
In any case, this series is in the hands of Relativity Entertainment, and it is a little more exciting than the one that Michael Bay once directed.
This series will probably be filmed for a long time.
Most of the memories that Transformers left him are good memories, even some memories that are funny when I think about them now.
The most ridiculous memory of Transformers was a magical comic called "Hulu Baby vs. Transformers".
I can vaguely remember the general content.
It seems that the Transformers have come to the earth, and they are fighting for the source of the fire, which is the kind of crackling and disorderly kind of bad people's sweep.
Then the Autobots met the gourd baby and the gourd girl, and the Decepticons got the help of Poseidon, the god of the sea, and everyone fought again, and the ending was, of course, the good guys defeated the bad guys, and the socialist gourd babies defeated the capitalist Decepticons.
When the opportunity is right, maybe I can cooperate with the opposite TV station to develop such an animated series or something.
After all, the former national TV stations and Hasbro made "Nezha vs. Transformers".
As for live-action movies, there is at least no problem with a bunch of broken copper and iron that has been blown up for ten years.
Needless to say, Optimus Prime is the absolute male protagonist and the leading character of the series.
As for Megatron, he can basically describe the situation in a live-action movie in one sentence - he has been inserted to death and has been rescued!
Audience or something, don't worry too much.
Profit or something, just the peripheral share of the movie can also ensure the profit of Relativity Entertainment.
For Transformers fans, how many problems the movie has to do with the slots?
It was once said that even a hundred years later, I would be so old that I would have no teeth, and I would be rolled up on the balcony by the children to dry like a quilt. However, when the red cow card rushed to the front of my house, I would still roll over, pick up my wooden pistol, and ask with a blazing and determined gaze: "Brother Zhuzi, where are you going to save the earth today!"
Jessica Filton, who got into the car from the other side and was busy scrolling through her smartphone, noticed Ronan's stunned gaze and reminded softly, "What do you want? Get in the car." ”
Ronan lowered his head and got into the car and said to the driver, David, "Go back to the hotel." ”
Jessica Felton asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
Ronan smiled and said, "The movie made me feel a little emotional. ”
"I can see it. Jessica Filton took his arm: "You have a true love for Transformers." ”
Ronan did not deny this, saying: "What I liked when I was a child, my biggest dream is nothing more than to see each other again, and when I say goodbye, I ask for something better than that day......"
Jessica Filton was blunt: "Honey, a little sour. ”
Ronan shook his head: "It's not sour, it's that childhood is gone and never come back." ”
That is, in front of Jessica Felton, if it were anyone else, Ronan would not be able to show these emotions.
Jessica Filton leaned over and kissed her lightly and shook her phone: "Let's be happy, there are already fans who share their views on the premiere through Netflix." ”
Ronan no longer thought about any feelings, took the phone and took a quick look.
"The special effects of "Transformers" are so good, if this movie is at the highest throne of CGI special effects, the special effects of last year's "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" and this year's "Spider-Man 3" are only circled on the side steps, which is basically a two-level effect, "Transformers" simply makes me hard to believe that these big guys are made by computers, they are like they exist in reality. ”
For these, Ronan has enough confidence that it would be pure nonsense to say how good the storyline of the movie is and how deep the theme is.
But in his eyes, this "Transformers" is magnificent, the visual effects are excellent, and the special effects technology used is also the best in the entire industry.
Inside the Hasbro Auditorium, professional investigators from Cinema Score are counting the reactions of ordinary movie fans.
They pay more attention to the perception of the general audience than the crazy tightropes.
"I think it's shocking, mainly because of the special effects, a lot of the images stunned me, and the movie can be made like this, and you can't find fault with a movie like this visually. ”
These are the words of a young woman, and the opinions of the general audience are basically unanimous.
"This film has a great grandeur and a spectacular view, and although the story is too simple, the technical effect is really impeccable. ”
"Transformers" is not for the audience to talk about life or pretend to be connotative, nor is it for the audience to pretend to be artistic in front of forums or people.
This film has only two purposes, first, to make money in the audience's pocket, and second, to make the audience feel cool after spending the money.
On internet platforms such as IMDB and Netflix Share, where viewers were able to post their views, there was a flood of comments immediately after the premiere.
The views of ordinary viewers are almost unanimously biased towards the side of "Transformers".
"It's over! I'm losing my mind again after watching Transformers! I want to buy Optimus Prime! I want to buy Megatron! I want to buy Bumblebee!"
"The classic "Transformers", even if it premieres with a bunch of posters, fans like me will be thrilled and shocked, and I was still pretending to be calm, but I lost my mind as soon as the film opened. ”
"The film can only be described as stunningly gorgeous, when the sound of machinery is heard one after another when it is transformed, the whole theater is suffocated......"
There is a tightrope who even used Netflix to share and upload a photo of himself who was so excited that he cried at the end of the movie, and specially accompanied the text.
"Tonight, I seem to have returned to the era when I hated being called a bumblebee the most, and everyone was vying to be Megatron, when the Decepticons were much more popular than the Autobots, and now I think that the Autobots are not so bright and upright every time, all with the help of the director and screenwriter, which led to many peers around me at that time saying in Megatron's tone - the enemy has been discovered and is ready to launch ......"
The next day, Cinema Score released the live ratings of theater audiences, with an average of "A"!
Subsequently, "Transformers" began to be released on a large scale in North America, and from the first day of release, the originally quiet North American film market became noisy and hot again.
The vast majority of ordinary fans applauded.
"I was completely blown away by Transformers! In those 110 minutes, I felt like I was back in my childhood, shocked!"
"It was a spectacular experience, like never before!"
"It's so cool! Transformers is incomparable, shocking, and invincible!"
"There's so much action in every second that you might be tempted to walk out of the theater after watching the film and add another $8 to the box office. ”
On the first day of release, with the lifting of the ban on IMDB, "Transformers" scored an average of 8.3 points on this website!
The Rotten Tomatoes website is on the top, but it is a bit miserable, and it is rotten at the beginning.
From the moment Michael Bay was chosen as the director, Ronan expected this outcome.
The grievances between Michael Bay and the film critics could not be finished for two days.
Film critics were rather unkind to Michael Bay's new film.
"This raucous, boorish movie will make you feel more pain than joy. ”
"A disgusting, forceful indoctrination business for the sake of selling cars, toys and war!"
There are many similar professional film reviews, and it is politically correct in the film review industry to use harsh, mean, and even abusive words to ridicule Michael Bay.
The Hollywood Reporter's Todd McCarthy aimed at Michael Bay, and it was a blast.
"From the moment Michael Bay, who only has the ability to explode, became the director of this film, Transformers lost the last bit of opportunity to be a slightly passable film. He has no plan, no style, no storytelling, no pacing. He only knows how to pile up special effects, and only knows how to pursue the biggest and the noisiest. ”
However, this is destined to be a niche opinion, and no matter what they say, it can't change the fact that audiences are lining up in front of theaters to buy tickets to "Transformers", and the major theaters are also full of confidence in the box office.
On the first day of its release in North America, "Transformers" put the hearts of everyone up and down Relativity Entertainment and Hasbro back into their stomachs.
4,311 theaters in North America, $39.65 million on the first day, which made "Transformers" the single-day box office champion in North America when it was released.
Affected by the explosion of "Transformers", "10,000 Years Before History", which was already in an extremely bad situation, did not improve, and only received less than $6 million that day.
As for another film in the same period, "Marriage Pickets", it is completely negligible.
On the second day of its release, "10,000 Years Before History" was still immortal, and "Transformers" rose at the box office again on the same day because of the bonus of the rest day effect, and received $41.95 million on the same day.
The opening weekend passed quickly, and the first weekend of "10,000 Years Before History" in North America only received $12.34 million, and huge losses were inevitable.
"Transformers" earned $114.62 million in 4,311 theaters in North America, easily topping the North American box office list.
The box office results fully prove the popularity of this "Transformers", and the audience who bought the ticket chose to go to the cinema to watch "Transformers," just for the Autobots and Decepticons, for the explosion, in order to stimulate their visual and auditory nerves.
Crazy audiences, super high scheduling rates, and enough screen counts all guarantee an excellent first-week box office for "Transformers".
"Transformers" has been around for so many years and has cultivated a large number of fans in North America, just like the "Los Angeles Times" said.
"As an emotional bond connecting a generation born in the seventies and eighties, the status of "Transformers" is particularly prominent, so there are now Transformers fan clubs, Transformers annual meetings, and online fan exchange activities, which are enough to provide the most basic moviegoers for "Transformers" live-action movies. ”
