Compared with Dan Brown's original book, the scale of the movie is actually much smaller, if it is placed in the Middle Ages, including Dan Brown, all the crew members are counted as one, and they must be burned at the stake.

The premiere of The Da Vinci Code was a huge one, attracting hundreds of journalists, as countless pairs of curious eyes around the world waited to see what the film adaptation, which had 40 million readers, would look like.

Once, when Ronan watched this film, he only felt inexplicable.

In the East, which is extremely devoid of religious backgrounds, it is understandable that the audience has seen half of the reaction to get up and leave.

The real selling point of this film is actually the religious content and the popularity of the original book, even Tom Hanks can't be a selling point.

Instead, it has become the object of complaints from fans.

Tom Hanks, who is under huge pressure from public opinion, is getting closer to the role in appearance, while actively losing weight, he has turned his perennial board brush head into "flowing" long hair.

But the audience who watched the test screening of "The Da Vinci Code" still found fault with Big Tom's imitation hairstyle, calling it "bald forehead and a duck tail on the back of the head"!

As for the content, this kind of film adaptation is really not very suitable for the object.

The decryption shown when expressed in words, the attraction after the image is greatly reduced, which is not only a problem of film shooting, but also the eyeball stimulation that the audience is accustomed to the inevitable bringing of commercial films.

Even the other controversial religious film, The Passion of the Christ, used controversy to lure audiences into theaters and retain audiences by whipping Jesus' torture.

The movie "The Da Vinci Code" cannot be said that Ron Howard is not capable enough, after all, this is one of the best Hollywood directors who have done a good job in balancing art and business, both "Apollo XIII" and "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and other blockbuster commercial films, and won the Oscar for Best Director with "A Beautiful Mind".

Ron Howard spends a lot of effort on how to convey some of the book's somewhat boring historical and theoretical passages in a graphic way, which leads to the film's explanation being stretched out and the energy lost in the tense plot push, and he has no shortage of clever visual treatments, such as the overlapping of shots across history, and the treatment of historical legends with oil painting textures.

As for the denial of religion, such a huge investment in the film determines that it must be released on a large scale, and it needs to be compromised on scale.

It's not a loss of art, it's a clever evasion.

Therefore, all the religious aspects of the original book have been turned into a line by Tom Hanks in the movie: Jesus is a man and a god, and there are not enough people who die for this problem?

Inevitably, when the plot is shown on the big screen, that mental thriller is lost.

Ronan remembers the night when he was in college, when a roommate who knew the history of Western religion hid under the covers and stayed up all night reading the original book.

According to his roommate, the hairs on his back stood on his back when he saw how Dan Brown subversively explained the Last Supper - it was not a mystical horror from ghosts or death, but a fear of spiritual weightlessness in the face of the complete subversion of the common sense of history that he had become accustomed to.

He even said that this fear, though only for a moment, was enough to surpass any horror world created by Stephen King.

But Ronan watched the movie on the big screen, showing all kinds of pictures about Jesus and the feminine Peter, and after watching it, he could only let out a sigh of amazement, far less terrifying than the once roommate said.

This seems to be a common problem or natural flaw of movies adapted from the theme of reasoning and suspense.

It seems that no matter how good the movie adaptation is, it will be inferior to the reasoning text.

As for Tom Hanks's crew, it is not difficult to understand the ups and downs with the Vatican since its inception.

After all, there are a lot of jokes in the original book and film, and now even criticism of popular singer idols will be criticized by fans, not to mention the so serious Jesus Christ?

After the premiere, when Ronan left the theater, some reporters came to interview him, but they were all stopped by bodyguards.

Although you are not religious, it is best not to open your mouth when it comes to religious beliefs.

"How does this film feel?" Ronan asked Connie, who was accompanying him.

"Hmm......" Connie thought for a moment and said, "I watched the original book, the film ...... Anyway, it always feels less appealing than the original. ”

Ronan nodded slightly: "Inform Embassy Pictures and prepare for a sharp drop in the box office the next weekend." ”

Connie answered first, and then asked, "Do you want Embassy Pictures to make some news?"

Ronan waved his hand: "No, Tom Hanks and Preton Pictures will definitely take action, this film will only have the possibility of getting more revenue if the controversy is louder." ”

In fact, as Ronan predicted, since Friday's release, many religious groups have protested in front of Preton Pictures, and even Tom Hanks's house has gathered some conservative believers.

On Friday afternoon, several members of the Women's Association for Peace and Mercy knelt in front of the office of the regional archbishop to demand a protest from the regional archbishop over the film The Da Vinci Code.

The regional archbishop had to make concessions, publicly bashing and filming on Saturday: "very far-fetched and full of heresy".

More protests are emerging, and even albinism organizations are speaking out.

In order to better play the albino killer Silas, Paul Betany is not satisfied with the miserable white skin that is unique to albinos only when he wears makeup, and he does not hesitate to dye his blonde hair white and change his dark blue eyes to blood red.

But the image drew great outrage from the American Albinism and Pigmentation Organization, which saw the depiction as a continuation of the stigmatization of albinistic homosexuality in many Hollywood films, and issued a public statement of protest.

Protests can put pressure on the film and the producers, and as long as they can resist the pressure, the pressure of protest can often be transformed into an argumentative momentum.

This is a commercial society, and protests will not make the film down, or even let the theater side reduce the film schedule.

As the protests became more and more heated, the number of people walking into the theater to watch "The Da Vinci Code" continued to grow.

Thanks to the huge influence and controversy caused by the film, Embassy Pictures won 4,180 theaters, "The Da Vinci Code" received $31.99 million at the box office from North America on the first day of release.

This set a single-day box office record for the North American Film Market in February!

Director Ron Howard even boasted in an interview: "The best way to understand this film thoroughly is to watch it a second time." ”

Preton Pictures put 12 points of effort into building momentum for "The Da Vinci Code".

The original book is a global bestseller, the Vatican has publicly denounced the content as absurd, Westminster Abbey has refused to be filmed heretically, the Louvre welcomes the crew with open arms, and the original author Dan Brown is riddled with infringement lawsuits...... A series of religious controversies and gossip have stirred up in North America and even the entire Western world.

Hollywood's movie promotion is always full of tricks, and even "honest people" like Tom Hanks will also play tricks in promotion.

And it was a great success.

However, the reputation of "The Da Vinci Code" is not very good, and those who have read the original book generally think that the film adaptation is not as exciting as the original book, and it is inevitable that they will be disappointed.

Most of the people who haven't seen it don't know much about religious history and are not very cold, and they are confused when they enter the theater.

Even if it was only released for one day, on IMDB, which was rated by fans, the score of "The Da Vinci Code" was only 6.6 points.

This is very rare in all the movies starring Tom Hanks.

Many people are saying that Tom Hanks is old, and he is no longer as enterprising as he was young, and he is thinking more about how to make money for retirement.

The film's Rotten Tomatoes freshness is only 25 percent.

In the face of the film "The Da Vinci Code", film critics were angry with the former darling Tom Hanks.

"As a performance artist, Tom Hanks, how can you be a producer of a philistine like Ronan Anderson?"

Critics wouldn't have guessed that Tom Hanks, who held them to strict artistic standards, was already in talks with Dan Brown about adapting another religious film, "Angels and the Devil."

However, Preton Pictures has made it clear that it will no longer cooperate with Shahai Entertainment on this film.

Ronan also does not intend to continue to participate, "Angels and Demons" will inevitably be influenced by this "Da Vinci Code".

Don't care about the Rotten Tomatoes index, but the audience's reputation must definitely be considered, and the outbreak of "The Da Vinci Code" is actually consuming the audience's interest in Dan Brown and religious themes.

But in a short period of time, the explosion momentum of "The Da Vinci Code" in the North American film market is very rapid.

In the first three days of the opening weekend, the film grossed $82.17 million in 4,180 theaters in North America.

It's also the highest weekend box office ever recorded at the North American Film Market!

However, the Cinema Score of "The Da Vinci Code" is only a "B", and the North American box office is expected to be around $240 million.

Dragged down by the poor reputation of the audience, the box office of this film in North America fell by nearly 60% in the second weekend!

However, the box office harvest of $34.12 million, combined with the weekday income, was enough to push the film's North American box office to $141.12 million.

The controversy caused by "The Da Vinci Code" quickly spread overseas, affecting the viewing choices of many Western audiences.

This weekend, the film was released in many Western countries, grossing a total of $94.87 million in its opening weekend.

Embassy Pictures predicted that the overseas box office of "The Da Vinci Code" would be at least twice that of North America.

In a way, the sheer number of Bible readers is likely to become a consumer of the film.

The Bible is said to be the number one best-selling book in the world, surpassing the Ruby Book.

These provide a huge guarantee for the box office success of the film.
