After the premiere, as Ronan expected, the word-of-mouth of "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" quickly began to polarize, the most typical being the two major movie rating systems on the Internet.

Rotten Tomatoes, which is mainly based on the collection of film critics' film reviews, lifted the ban on the Rotten Tomatoes index on the second day of its premiere, and the freshness rate is only 60%, which is just a passing grade.

This kind of visual feast of showmanship and highlighting the style of the picture has never been a film critic's dish.

On IMDB, which is mainly rated by the audience, the average starting score of "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" is as high as 8.3 points.

Words such as "heart-wrenching", "epic" and "visual feast" appear most frequently in fan reviews.

In the reception room of the Relativity Building, Zack Schneider sat on the couch and waited for Ronan to come over, reading a newspaper with a review of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" by a famous film critic.

“…… This is a technique used only by MV directors, and directors in the film industry do not disdain to play with such frivolous techniques!"

Seeing this comment, Zack Schneider was a little angry.

The door to the reception room opened, and Ronan walked in, looked at Zack Schneider, and asked, "What's going on?"

Zack Snyder hurriedly cleaned up his mood, first greeted Ronan with a smile, and then gestured to the film critic's column in the newspaper, saying: "They just open their mouths, move their pens, or tap a few keyboards, and veto other people's hard work for a year, two years, or even years in vicious language." ”

Ronan understood and said, "Zach, don't worry about that, you'll never be able to convince a bunch of trolls, they'll always find a reason to spew people." ”

Zack Schneider nodded silently and said, "It's just a little uncomfortable." ”

"You have to think so. Ronan said casually: "These people, what else can they do except sit in front of the computer and open their mouths to spray?"

He grabbed a newspaper in his hand: "You see, this is the fan reviews collected by Cinema Score after the premiere, and they gave "The Three Hundred Spartans" an average of A!"

Zack Schneider took it and took a look, he had not been in the film industry for a long time, and he was easily led by film critics, but he gradually found a balance.

"The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta has beautiful pictures, shocking music, passionate stories, and people who watch it are thrilled and excited, this kind of visual blockbuster is a good movie for me!"

Ronan then asked, "Zach, you came to me early in the morning, is there something wrong?"

Zack Schneider laughs, "My two film contracts with Relativity Entertainment are all done. Ronan, without your support, I wouldn't be where I am today, so I came here to say thank you to you. ”

Ronan smiled: "You're welcome, cooperation is mutually beneficial." ”

Zack Schneider added: "I may have to participate in the Warner Bros. film project next, and I can't go to some of the promotional announcements later, so please forgive me." ”

Ronan waved his hand: "It's okay. He asked, "How's the Watchmen going?"

"We're just getting started. Zack Schneider thought for a moment and said briefly: "How, it will have to wait until Monday." ”

Ronan understood what this meant, and it is estimated that Warner Bros. will not easily reuse Zack Schneider if he does not see the box office of "Spartan 300 Warriors".

"Be patient. Ronan said slowly, "It's just a matter of waiting a few days." In fact, film companies also have to consider all aspects, and it is normal to have some concerns. ”

Zack Schneider said: "I know, after all, Warner Bros. has a lot of responsibility for me. ”

Having said that, Zack Snyder is a little dissatisfied, Relativity Entertainment and Ronan let a Chinese director join Shahai Entertainment some time ago and become a producer and executive of the production company, as well as option awards......

That's just a director who makes horror films.

After the contract expired, Ronan and Relativity Entertainment had no plans to sign contracts in a row.

Fortunately, there are also Warner Bros. and DC Comics, and if all goes well, he will find a place for himself in them, and he can even become a big name in Hollywood in the future.

Hollywood is so big, there is always a place for him to play.

The conversation quickly came to an end, and Ronan shook hands with Zack Schneider: "I wish you even more success in your partnership with Warner Bros. ”

"Thank you. Zack Schneider was complacent: "I will." ”

On Friday, "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" was fully released in North America, as a large-scale R-rated film, its distribution scope is far less than the scale of PG or PG-13, even with the extremely excellent distribution ability and brand influence formed by Embassy Pictures to the theater company, it only got 3,450 premiere theaters.

Even so, "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" still burst out with brilliance beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

On its first day of release in North America, the film earned a whopping $29.54 million at the box office.

Even though many had already expected this, such a high box office figure was surprising, after all, the film cost only $60 million to make.

In today's Hollywood, it's just an ordinary medium-sized production.

Throughout film history, such a single-day box office result can rank third among all R-rated films, second only to "The Matrix 2: Reloaded" and "The Passion of the Christ".

The popularity of box office results, coupled with the hot release in theaters, has also further promoted the topic of "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta".

The North American media and Iran have started a new round of mutual harm, and the huge map cannon has even pulled Europe and Arabs into it.

For the American media, it is cool to fire the map cannon for a while, and it is always cool to fire the cannon all the time.

The European media, which was originally in a bystander position, have long been gearing up, and they can't wait to end at this time.

Of course, if there are hot topics, everyone should stir them up and be cool together, so why only make you Americans and Iranians happy?

Focusing on the history of Hot Spring Pass, the composition of ancient ethnic groups and cultural inheritance, etc., the media in several aspects opened fire in the air, spraying happily.

This kind of thing, neither side can convince the other.

As for historical truth, does that matter?

On the one hand, the text is always weak compared to the image, and the truth is always weak compared to the legend.

There was history in the world, but when there are more people who change, there is no history.

In other words, history loses its truth from the moment it happens.

Will Hollywood studios feel guilty about this?

Someone like Ronan, is it possible?

Are there fewer Hollywood movies that falsify history? Will Hollywood studios care about falsifying history?

What is the true face of a Hollywood producer like Ronan, in fact, most countries and regions have known it over the years.

How many times have these mercenary producers done to discredit history or other things for the sake of profit?

Hollywood has always put business first, and major film companies are marketing masters, and creating or using controversy is an effective means to gain popularity.

What's even crazier is that Sony Columbia Pictures has made films like "The Interview" in the past.

Compared to what they did, Ronan definitely belongs to Hollywood's producers with a very conscience and bottom line.

It is said that Wall Street is a vampire, and when it comes to being thick-faced and black-hearted, Hollywood does not let it go.

In the face of the divine assistance of the Iranians, Ronan and Relativity Entertainment could not turn a blind eye and listen, and could only happily accept this gift package.

Facts have also proved that after this gift package is really opened, it reveals a lot of monetary gains.

Although this weekend also saw the massive opening of Universal Pictures' "Breakup Man and Woman" and Paramount Pictures' "Mad Priest", in the face of "Spartan 300 Warriors", these two films have no competition at all, and can only watch "Spartan 300 Warriors" top the North American box office charts with an upward gaze.

The film grossed $77.89 million in 3,450 theaters over the three days of its opening weekend in North America.

The box office in North America in the first weekend overwhelmed the production cost, and the box office exploded!

At the same time, this is also the third highest R-rated film in the North American market after "The Matrix 2: Reloaded" and "The Passion of the Christ".

"The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" has undoubtedly become a star-level film, and director Zack Schneider has naturally become a dazzling star director.

Many people in the Hollywood industry have their eyes on Zack Schneider, and "The Hollywood Reporter" even used Zack Schneider as the front page of the new issue, praising the British director for his promising future!

Warner Bros., faced with a box office figure of $77.89 million, is orchestrating the three key players in DC's Justice League Cinematic Universe plan, and something is really certain at this time.

Charles Rowan looked at the box office data of "Spartan 300 Warriors" and the extremely high audience reputation, and said: "The data does not lie, the market has fully proven that Zack Schneider is a very good commercial film director, and he is suitable for the superhero genre." ”

DC Comics president Diego Harris echoed: "It's hard to find a better director for a DC Comics film than Zack Schneider, and he's done a really good job. The film "Three Hundred Spartan Warriors", in terms of its style, is also suitable for DC Comics. ”

Charles Rowan also said: "I have had enough exchanges with Zack, including the "Watchmen" he is preparing, and Zach always believes that film adaptations must respect comics and restore comic classics!"

"I couldn't agree more," he emphasized. ”

The two looked at Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsuhara at the same time, who also made a decision: "Okay, I'm going to push the Zack Schneider proposal to the boardroom, and if nothing else, it should be able to pass." ”

Diego Harris and Charles Rowan both laughed.

Kevin Tsohara added: "Both the Green Lantern project and the Watchmen need to be accelerated. Zack Snyder directs "Watchmen," "Green Lantern" ......"

Charles Rowan has already responded, saying: "Zach and I served as producers of "Green Lantern", and then we looked for the right director for this film, and after Zack finished "Watchmen", we will fully intervene in the Justice League universe. ”
