Chapter 998: Five Waves Mantra

Standing in the theater lobby and looking at the past, almost all of them are young female faces, and there are often women with obviously unusual relationships around the lower proportion of male audiences.

It can only be said that falling in love with a handsome, superpowered, considerate and gentle man who is different from herself is a dream that every girl has had.

This is also the reason why the Mary Sue theme has endured.

The domineering president in Mary Sue is always gentle, handsome, and only loves Mary Sue in the whole world, no matter how violent and ferocious, but he is infinitely considerate to Mary Sue, has amazing talent and even superpowers, is omnipotent, but is humble and forbearant in front of Mary Sue.

There is no doubt that Isabella is such a Mary Sue, and Edward is the corresponding domineering president.

Edward also fits the person in a woman's dream.

Love at first sight or something, although it is the most unreliable kind of love in the world, it is a woman's favorite dream.

Edward is strong and powerful, and can protect his girlfriend at all times, whether it is flying in a cart, appearing in time to scare off hooligans, or taking her handsome to a ball to attract the envy of the eyeballs.

In addition, Edward is a veritable rich man, and he is willing to spend his life with his girlfriend, he respects her choice, and does not want to destroy her original life and life......

It is estimated that this is in line with the biggest demand of women.

Objectively speaking, whether it is a movie or a movie, it is an elegant and beautiful femininity type, and the story told is also very simple and romantic - the lonely blood clan falls in love with a shy human girl, and they have experienced many obstacles between them, but the power of love finally overcomes everything.

Ronan asked people to do a special survey, and more than 90% of the fans of "Twilight" are women.

Therefore, as soon as the film was screened, many male viewers experienced various discomforts.

Because this is fundamentally a matter of two group ideologies, it is impossible for Wang Xingren to understand cats, and many Wang Xingren will not be willing to bow their heads and try to understand cats.

Boys who can endure watching "Twilight" usually have only two possibilities: first, you are a vegetarian vampire, and second, you are infatuated with your girlfriend and are watching with her.

The handsome and wealthy male protagonist is insensitive to male audiences.

As for the heroine Isabella, the same is true for men.

To a large extent, the heroine Isabella is an empty shell, and the biggest effect is that any woman can easily put herself into it and start fantasizing.

Just like the male protagonist of YY at the beginning, he doesn't need appearance, no feature depiction, and no character, as long as the audience can bring it in, it's OK.

Isabella is like an oversized Lego toy, and despite her appearance, her personality has been described as insecure, clumsy, and eccentric – traits that any woman who has ever had puberty can associate with herself.

Helping Isabella as an empty shell, the heroine becomes a condom that any woman can put herself into, not like a person.

Compared to the male audience, the female audience in the theater can only be described as crazy, and from the beginning of Edward's appearance, the screams of the girls prove that Isabella is not alone.

When the concept of vampires first debuted, it originally belonged to the same camp as the sensational guys such as devils and zombies, but with the prevalence of romantic YYISM, the identity of vampires began to move closer to the front in the majority of family writings, and they took it as their mission to satisfy the bloodthirsty male readers and the tear ducts of female readers, and their influence spread all over the world.

Vampire love has all the things that appeal to love, the passion that leads to death, the eternal desire, the conquer and the subjugated, the sadistic and the masochistic, the sorrow that goes hand in hand with pleasure, the eternal life that comes in pain and madness.

The thing is, vampires don't have body heat, they're hard as stones, they're cold, they're hard, so that thing isn't going to be much better than popsicles.

Women who can bear it are definitely not ordinary people.

It's probably been tempered a lot.

Ronan remembers reading someone on the Internet who said that "Twilight" reflects the essence of love - only look at the appearance and wallet, not the connotation.

This includes both men and women.

And of the two essences, the latter point is more important, as long as the latter point can be satisfied, the first point is completely negligible.

This statement seems to make a lot of sense, for example, Tang Seng didn't marry so many beautiful goblins, and finally married ......

For example, a woman plays short-term investing, but traps herself.

Vampire-themed films are not uncommon in Hollywood, but now that the whole of Hollywood is "serialized", a theme with gold-absorbing potential like vampires, except for the B-grade film "Tales of the Night" with extremely limited influence, has not been made into a series of products, which is really a matter of common anger.

Serialized movies can maximize the benefits of Relativity Entertainment.

If you want to maximize the benefits, then you need the film to be romantic, romantic and romantic.

Take the "Five Waves Mantra" as the guiding ideology of the film!

Romance, waste, prodigality, waves, and finally the screams of the waves that slept in the canal.

"The Twilight Zone" is romantic.

Someone once commented on "Twilight", which reached a kind of extreme in romance and movies.

However, Lindsay Beale is also very powerful, and the lines she writes keep making little girls and big girls scream.

"Even if you are not human, I still love you so much that I am not afraid of death."

Here's Isabella's line, and look at Edward's classic confession: "I love you more than all the things in the world combined!"

It is estimated that the effect of Aunt Joan's "mountains without edges and heaven and earth together" is no different.

Of course, the shortcomings of the film are also obvious.

This is a bloody love idol youth film, and the so-called magical elements have to serve it, so there is nothing to talk about worldview shaping or anything like that.

Because of the limited budget, special effects and the like can only be said to be passable.

After all, the production cost was only $30 million.

But none of this is a big deal in the eyes of female audiences.

In order to cater to the preferences of the little sisters, "Twilight" has almost achieved the extreme of needs.

It is precisely for the needs of that vampires have changed from the original monsters to the handsome guys they are today in the history of literature and film.

No one can deny that the film "Twilight" is naïve, but many naïve films often achieve great commercial success.

A girl's heartburst girl will definitely do this kind of super Mary Sue movie.

Why was YY so popular? In fact, the answer is not complicated, men love to fight and kill, and by the way, they pick up girls; women love Qingqing and me, and the male protagonist must be rich, and it is better to be more handsome.

At the end of the premiere screening, the applause was barely audible.

It's not that no one applauded, but the screams of the girls one after another, completely suppressed the applause.

These girls in the theater are all like being hit by Mr. Xu!

Fans are crazy about what they like, and girls always fantasize that they are Mary Sue, so they must lack enough rationality when looking at this film.

On the other hand, the proportion of male viewers with a very low proportion looks at the girls around them, as if they are watching aliens.

Incomprehensible, neurotic......

There are probably a lot of men who think this way.

After the premiere, "Twilight" began to be released on a large scale in North America, because there were too many films released at the same time, even if the embassy pictures mobilized a lot of resources and the film was PG-13 rated, the number of theaters still was not particularly large.

The distribution ability of other large companies is no worse than that of Relativity Entertainment.

There were only 3,550 theaters in the opening weekend of "Twilight."

But on the first day of its release in North America, with the almost crazy enthusiasm of female audiences, "Twilight" grossed more than $10,000 in a single day and in a single theater!

On Friday, the film was $36.9 million in North America!

Other films that premiered at the same time, all the box office combined, are not as good as "Twilight".

Book lovers and female viewers were fascinated by this film.

In just one day, the North American box office of "Twilight" exceeded the production cost!

With the first-day box office released, most of the media outlets that were downcast about "Twilight" before its release also changed their stance, believing that the film was at least a commercial success.

The commercial success of "Twilight" comes from the accurate grasp of the film market segment, but behind the high box office on the first day, there are also countless male audiences who were accidentally injured by the film.

It's not right to say that it was a mistake, these men basically enter the theater to please female audiences, but "Twilight" is really not suitable for mature men to watch.

Inevitably, there has been a very serious polarization in the word-of-mouth of "Twilight".

"It's so rotten that I want to cry. ”

"Teenage brain fragments!"

Even the two protagonists, who are loved by female audiences, have been criticized by male audiences as worthless.

"The actor is not good-looking, he has no masculine temperament, and he will pass after seeing it and endure it. The heroine's acting skills are really unbearable, from beginning to end she looks a little frightened and a little incredible, as if she is frozen in a stupid manner, and she can't see any emotional changes, and how can they get better? I don't understand, the feelings are inexplicable!"

In the past, there were few movies like this that could lead to complete opposition between male and female audiences.

Embassy Pictures also got a statistic that more than 85% of the female audience of "Twilight" was screened on the first day of screening in North America!

Facts have proved that the strategy of market segmentation is very correct for publicity and marketing, and "Twilight" is like a Hollywood version of Qiong Yao drama, which has captured the hearts of countless girls.

When Friday consumed the enthusiasm of a large number of fans and teenage audiences, the popularity of "Twilight" began to wane.

Under normal circumstances, the trend of Hollywood movies at the weekend box office will be higher on Saturday than on Friday, and even if there is a decline, it will not be much, but "Twilight" is different, the single-day box office on Saturday plummeted by 40% compared with Friday, getting $22.14 million.

By Sunday, it was another plunge of more than 40 percent.

The qualities of fan movies are unmistakable.

However, "Twilight" was still a huge success, with a first-week box office of $72.04 million, which also set a record for the highest February opening in the North American film market.
