Chapter 523: War Book

In the office of Relativity Entertainment, Ronan got first-hand data feedback from the test screening, and according to the on-site survey statistics done by Embassy Pictures, the audition reputation of "Dungeon Siege" was really miserable.

If it was a normal movie, it is estimated that he would not have the face to watch these data.

Fortunately, "Dungeon Siege" is not a movie that operates normally, and it is bad to put it in the light and make it as a selling point.

According to the statistics of the test screening, the average score of media reporters is 33 points, and the average score of film critics is 27 points.

Overall, it was about the same as expected.

This film, if it is replaced by ema score, the audience scores on the spot, at most it is "D".

It could even be lower.

It is not only the data that is transmitted to Ronan, but also the promotion and distribution of the film at the same time, although Ronan does not ask about the specific work, the embassy film industry will still send the report through the office software routinely.

Because of the precedent of "House of the Dead", the work in theaters is going well, and October is also the off-season for movies, "Dungeon Siege" can open in North America with more than 2,500 theaters.

In addition, preparations are underway for the overseas release of the film.

To Ronan's surprise, the other side of the Pacific also decided to introduce "Dungeon Siege", but not as a split film, but to directly buy out the theater screening rights in the market there.

Embassy Pictures is talking, and if nothing else, the two sides will sign a contract soon after the box office in North America is released in the first week.

Selling out can also add a lot of income.

The test screening of "Dungeon Siege" ended, and there were bad reviews in the media.

Uwe Bauer also saw it, and as soon as he got to work today, he got a copy of the Los Angeles Times, on which a film critic article scolded him and his film for nothing.

"All I saw was a simple and intelligent plot, shoddy sets and makeup. Sure enough, it is a film adapted from a video game, and the production in all aspects is at the B-level level, and those cheap computer special effects are not as clear as the stickers on the PS2. From beginning to end, the film is filled with unrestrained background music, almost to the point of flooding into noise. The chaos of the war scenes makes people doubt the director's scheduling ability, and the plot rhythm is even more unscored, and it drags on for more than an hour. ”

"It's a sin to watch this movie, it's like being locked up in a dungeon, enduring the visual and auditory ordeal. You have to be prepared beforehand, although Uwe Bauer has only made two films, his films are not the worst, only worse!"

Even if he was mentally prepared, Uwe Bauer was still so angry that he breathed fire in his nose, as a director, he worked hard for more than ten months, and he paid so much for it, getting up at five o'clock in the morning to prepare for the shooting, watching the camera and studying the sub-shots until eleven o'clock at night, and even his hair was much whiter.

In the eyes of these bastard film critics, the fruits of other people's hard work are worthless!

Even more egregious are personal attacks.

"The director of this film definitely has a problem with his head! He ruined the shooting game "House of the Dead", not to mention, and "Dungeon Siege" is practicing "Dungeon Siege", and "Dungeon Siege" is worse than "House of the Dead", I am so fucking angry after watching it, the director himself is stupid and stay at home, don't run out and insult the audience's IQ, this will only make you more mentally retarded!"

Uwe Bauer choked in his throat and didn't know how to vent.

Is this a movie review? Okay, my movie is poor, you say the movie is okay, right? Why do you engage in personal attacks?

At this moment, Xiaobao completely substituted for it, almost forgetting that this was a plan.

Finally, Uwe Bauer saw the film review in "Premiere" magazine that was not only personal, but also seriously provocative!

"Uwe Bauer, you bastard! Do you dare to come out and be responsible for making a bad movie? Dare to appear in front of me and let me beat you? Coward, cowardly director, have the ability to stand up and take responsibility for the bad movie you made!"

The credit on the review is Charles Eric!

Uwe Bauer swears he remembered the name and will never forget!

Bang –

Uwe Bauer slammed his fist on the desk and shouted at his assistant, "Diane, find the media!

Diane Kirkla, with blonde hair, walked into the office and said, "Mr. Ball, the media has been contacted for a long time. ”

Hearing this, Uwe Bauer reacted, this is all designed.

But thinking of that provocative film review, I still can't help but roll with anger, since you dare to jump out and provoke, no matter whether you are specially looking for it or not, you must be beaten back!

Uwe Bauer clenched his fists: I haven't practiced boxing in vain in the past 20 years! Aren't you going to beat me up in public? Look who beats whom! If I want to knock you out and change your name to Bauer Uwe in the future!

Soon, a number of media reporters, accompanied by the press officer of Embassy Pictures, walked into Uwe Bauer's office.

Angry Xiaobao not only accused the film critics of being mean, but also made a sharp counterattack.

In this world, there is never a shortage of people to watch the excitement.

At the end of a busy morning's work, after lunch, Jean, like most of his colleagues, used his office computer to log in to his mailbox and Internet account to see if he had received the latest emails or messages.

Among them, Netflix sharing is the focus of his attention.

Since discovering this feature, Jean has become a loyal user of Netflix Sharing, and he will go up and check it out when he has time, even if he doesn't post information, he also wants to know what his friends are doing.

Then, he saw a message forwarded by a netizen in the circle of friends.

It was a film review from a film critic.

Jean was originally a movie fan, and he took the film review seriously, but he only saw half of it, and he frowned unconsciously, this film critic is a bit excessive, the film review doesn't care about the film, how can he make a personal attack on the director?

also claimed to beat the director!

Is this a film critic or a gang?

Thanks to this critic's remarks, Jean also remembered two names - "Dungeon Siege" and its director, Uwe Bauer.

Dungeon Siege was a game, he knew it, but Uwe Ball hadn't heard of it.

No matter who the director is, being scolded like this by a film critic will be very unhappy, right?

At the end, Jean was surprised to find that this Uwe = Bauer, who was called Charles Eric's attack, actually replied in person!

"Aren't you looking for me? You can comment on how my film went, but you want to hit me? Okay, I accept your provocation! I'm going to fight you! I want to make you realize that German directors are real men!"

Jean scratched his head, the situation was a bit unexpected.

Looking further down, Charles Eric also replied: Do you dare? You won't be as bad as the film you made, will you? Fight me? You can't!

Where can a real man tolerate others saying no, Uwe Bauer replied below: It's okay to know if you have beaten it!

Charles Eric is righteous: Your bad movie has poisoned so many fans, I must seek justice for them! I said that I will knock you out of the film industry! If you are beaten by me, will you dare to quit Hollywood? Do you dare not make movies again in the future?

Uwe Bauer is unequivocal: no problem!

Jean was surprised, this director and film critic are really going to fight? This is so rare, it seems that Hollywood has never had one!

"What's wrong, Jean?" a colleague happened to look over here, and when he saw Jean's surprised expression, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Did something happen?"

Jean pointed to his computer screen: "There's a professional film critic and a director dating online!"

My colleague was also quite surprised, and more curious: "The film critic and the director have a fight?

Jean felt that he couldn't say a word clearly: "I'll send you a link, you can see for yourself." ”

"Netflix?" said the colleague, "No need, I'll log in by myself." ”

Jean looked up at him, "You shared it with Netflix too?"

My colleague smiled and said, "Yes! Last time I saw you, I also registered an account, and the function is really good." ”

He quickly landed on Netflix, and soon saw the message that had been forwarded hundreds of thousands of times, and couldn't help but laugh after reading it: "It's so interesting! I don't know where they are fighting, so let's go to the scene to see." ”

"What date?" his words caught the attention of his colleagues in the office.

Everyone is young, and the acceptance of this kind of news is very high, and a group of people quickly became onlookers on the Internet.

Jean flipped through the replies of the onlookers who followed the message.

"Where are you fighting? Can you tell me the time and address? Let's go and cheer you on." ”

"You can't just talk about it, do you?"

"How about the dungeon siege? I just checked it out, and it's going to be released this month. ”

"It should be very fun, I watched the last "House of Death" directed by Uwe Ball, it was rotten, but it was quite interesting and very entertaining!"

"Support Xiaobao!"

"Support our little treasure to blow up that vicious film critic!"

"I'm going to form a Xiaobao support group!"

Jean found that most netizens were on the side of Uwe Bauer.

Maybe the critic's remarks and provocations are too vicious!

If he were to choose, he would be on Uwe Bauer's side.

Jean also forwarded the news, and after forwarding it, he looked at it again and found that there were hundreds of thousands of views.

This is clearly a cause for concern.

The next day, Jean discovered that the Uwe Ball and Charles Eric fight was not limited to the Internet, but also reported on many print media.

The two parties were also interviewed by media reporters, and both were dismissive of each other.

Even more surprising was the fact that this weekend night, when Uwe Bauer participated in a reality TV show, he officially responded to the critics' provocation.

"It's not fair to judge the director casually because of a movie. There are also people who want to kill me, to make me feel like a sea of blood, which is far beyond the scope of a normal review of a movie or a person. Charles Eric, the keyboard party, will secretly hurt people on the Internet. If you can't enjoy my movies, you should at least show your skills first, and then chirp crookedly if you win, otherwise please shut up. ”

Uwe Ball sent out a war letter through the show, inviting the film critic who hated him to face him in the ring ten days later.

At the end of the same week, Charles Eric responded publicly and took the information war letter, claiming to teach him a hard lesson on behalf of the fans who had been hurt by Uwe Power's bad movie.
