Chapter 477: One Glance for Ten Thousand Years
If the audience reputation of a film will greatly affect the market trend after the screening, the overwhelming pre-screening publicity is to attract the audience to enter the theater on the opening weekend or even the first day of release.
The premiere was packed, especially for the general audience, and there was not a single empty seat to be seen.
The high investment in publicity of Embassy Pictures has made many viewers interested in "Pirates of the Caribbean".
Judging by the atmosphere and momentum created at the premiere, it seems as if this is not a pirate movie that has declined.
Universal Pictures' Ron Meyer also received an invitation to the premiere of Relativity Entertainment, because there was temporary official business to deal with, and when Ron Meyer arrived, the movie was about to start.
He came to the front row and greeted Ronan and other Relativity Entertainment executives, after all, Ronan had attended the premiere of "The Incredible Hulk" some time ago.
Although the film failed, it did not prevent the two parties from participating in each other's premieres.
Ron Meyer's seat was next to Michael Eisner, and the two were old acquaintances, and after a brief greeting, they discussed the upcoming film.
Michael Eisner deliberately said, "Ron, I didn't expect to see you here. ”
Ron Meyer smiled and said, "Didn't you come too?"
"Robert Iger, COO of Relativity Entertainment, is my old subordinate. Michael Eisner seems to be telling the truth: "He invited me over to the premiere, and I always have to give some face." ”
Of course, Ron Meyer will not believe such words, Michael Eisner in the past two years has completely developed in the direction of self-centeredness, not to mention old subordinates like Robert Iger, and even friends like Michael Ovitz for decades, who have turned against each other.
I'm afraid he came over because of the name of the film.
"You're interested in this film?" asked Michael Eisner.
Ron Meyer nodded without hesitation: "Yes." He said simply: "I wanted to see if this film could turn the tide of the pirate genre." ”
"Just this film, is it possible?" Michael Eisner couldn't help but shake his head: "Two little stars plus a weird guy, and a director who has never directed a first-line production, God knows what the hell will be filmed." ”
To a certain extent, Ron Meyer fully agrees with Michael Eisner's words: "Actually, what you said is very reasonable, the subject of the film is the long-lost pirate genre, director Gore Wibinski has never directed a first-line production, and the three protagonists have limited appeal, which is difficult to give people confidence." ”
His voice changed suddenly: "But the project initiator and producer of Pirates of the Caribbean is Ronan Anderson! I think if there are people in Hollywood who can change the situation of pirate films, Ronan Anderson must be one of them." ”
Michael Eisner frowned slightly and said the fact: "Ronan Anderson has never been successful in a first-line commercial blockbuster, and he is far from being compared to Jerry Bruckheimer, who worked with Disney." ”
"I don't deny that. Ron Meyer shrugged: "Everyone has a first time, Ron Anderson's first big production, we'll see right away." ”
A very stubborn person like Michael Eisner, it is impossible to convince with words alone, so let's watch the film and talk about it.
Not far behind them, Arenas from The Hollywood Reporter and McNays, an entertainment reporter for the Los Angeles Times, are also following the film.
Such a top-notch commercial production, which costs up to $140 million and may cost more than $100 million in publicity, will naturally attract the attention of the media and fans.
Just behind them, those ordinary fans are also talking.
The young Greymane did not experience the golden age of pirate films, nor did he see the decline of pirate movies with his own eyes, and as a post-85 generation, he did not trust other people's comments very much, and paid more attention to seeing is believing.
So, after seeing the overwhelming publicity, Greymane became interested in this pirate film and decided to attend the premiere.
Right next to him, Varian, who was in his thirties, sat there alone and muttered.
Since the 80s, he has been in love with pirate movies, witnessed the glory of "Treasure Island", watched the great director Spielberg give his all for "Captain Hook", and witnessed the fiasco of "Cut Throat Island" and "Future Water World".
The latter two directly made pirate movies sink to the bottom of Hollywood.
When he saw the promotional ad for Pirates of the Caribbean, Varian immediately paid attention to the film and decided to come and see the premiere.
But there was always a voice in his head that said: this was just another failed pirate movie.
Despite the claim to be a magical epic pirate film in the promotion, Varian keeps thinking of "Future Water World", this sci-fi pirate film has a tragic ending, will "Pirates of the Caribbean" encounter the same result?
If this film fails, maybe pirate fans like him will never see a new pirate movie again.
Wari was a little apprehensive, but it was not unreasonable.
The beginning of the movie, in nothing particularly unusual, is simply a standard Hollywood commercial movie opening.
In the middle of nowhere, a catastrophe plundered by pirates has just occurred, and the heroine's ship rescues a young boy, and then Elizabeth Swan and Will Turner meet as children, and then jump to their adult years.
Varian couldn't help but shake his head slightly, a little disappointed, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be the vulgar handsome man and beautiful woman who fell in love at sea?
"It didn't start well. Michael Eisner whispered.
There was no way to argue with this, because the start was really average, and Ron Meyer nodded and said, "Average." ”
Not only them, but even Robert Iger, who saw this film for the first time, frowned slightly, the company invested a $140 million production budget, could it be to shoot and produce a mediocre pirate movie?
It's not like Ronan's style.
Robert Iger glanced at Ronan not far away in surprise, although the post-editing of the film was done by Jessica Felton and Gore Wibinski, but the edited version was not approved by Ronan and could not be released in theaters at all.
Even if the hero and heroine on the screen, one is handsome and the other is beautiful, it is difficult to say how attractive they are.
Ronan sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai without any hurry, and nodded slightly when he saw the footage of Christian Bale and Keira Knightley.
The latter is a qualified vase, which is also the role positioning of Elizabeth Swan.
The former is muscular, tall and strong, which makes people know that he is the kind of powerful role, and Christian Bale's acting skills are quite good, integrating the character's appearance and temperament setting almost perfectly, highlighting a rough and wild male masculine beauty.
A blacksmith who has been working on iron and practicing swords all year round must be a strong man.
Even though Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan were a little less calling, the look-fairs like Greymane paid for it.
The audience is always tolerant of the handsome guys and beauties in the film.
"A bit disappointed. Arenas shook his head slightly: "140 million dollars to make such a movie, if there is no change in the future......"
McNays understood what he meant, and whispered, "It could be another 'Cut Throat Island'." ”
Arenas was still shaking his head: "Ronan Anderson is inflated, if there is a top commercial production success, he will steadily enter the ranks of top producers, but what is not good for him to choose, he chooses pirate films!"
In the first few minutes of "Pirates of the Caribbean", the theater not only did not fall silent, but there was a very low but slightly noisy chatter.
It seems that everyone is questioning this pirate movie.
Even Jessica Felton and Gore Verbinski are drumming in their hearts.
However, everything changes when that glamorous slut appears on the screen!
This is a whole new pirate, a pirate captain who can't find any common qualities from past pirate movies.
It's an epic appearance!
This is an unusually domineering appearance!
This is also a very pretentious appearance!
This is Jack Sparrow, and some people may not like him, but it is difficult to really dislike him.
When Captain Jack Sparrow stepped on the catwalk, pinched his orchid fingers, twisted his swaying body, and stepped from the mast of the sinking boat to the dock, many people gasped.
How can a pirate be so charismatic?
After just a few minutes of watching, Greymane felt like he was a fan of this pirate captain!
Varian was a little stunned, this pirate was so special, I don't know why, he had a feeling that the moment the camera shifted from the back to the front of Jack Sparrow, he took a fancy to this guy.
Ten thousand years at a glance!
This pirate is so special, there has never been a pirate like this in Hollywood, and as soon as Johnny Depp appeared, he stole all the limelight.
Ron Meyer whispered: "I understand Ronan Anderson's intentions, the film is arranged in this way, all of which are paving the way for this pirate to appear, and the blandness in front of it just highlights the special nature of this pirate, and the contrast between the two makes the pirate more charming." ”
Looking at the sissy pirate, Michael Eisner, who is a straight man of steel, once again couldn't help but say, "Will anyone like such a character?"
Ron Meyer didn't judge immediately, but the originally noisy theater suddenly fell silent.
The Captain's charisma was so great that even Arenas and McNays had to admit it.
"Johnny Depp has met the role he has played the most since the film. Arenas completely reversed his previous statement: "Ronan Anderson has chosen the most suitable actor for his pirate captain!"
