Chapter 539: Precise Positioning

For today's Ronan, youth has long been a thing of the past, so he knows that he can't look at the success or failure of "Mean Girl" from his own point of view, which is not filmed for people like him at all.

Movies with the theme of youth campuses have some things in common with plasma horror films, most of them are bad movies, and there are very few good movies.

In the face of the audience of this theme, "Mean Girl" does not need to be compared with classic Hollywood movies, it is enough to be superior in the same genre.

It can even be said that some good films with youth themes and plasma horror films are often looking for tall ones from short people.

Therefore, in the comments after the screening, there was a sentence that appropriately reflected the market reaction of "Mean Girl".

"The best youth campus movie this year!"

Although the film's reputation is not very good, it has an advantage in the same genre.

In the survey statistics of ema Score, viewers over the age of 22 have a very, very average evaluation of this film.

"The character settings are simple and crude, and they don't have any brains. The story is too clichΓ©d and has no new ideas. ”

"Waste of time, very poor film. ”

"This film is really boring, don't young people nowadays have brains?"

Older people use their own eyes to measure teenagers, and what they see is often all kinds of brain-dead and incredible, in fact, everyone has such a stage, and young people in reality are often more boring and brain-dead than in movies.

For example, who would have thought that someone would be able to test how stupid a stupid bear is in that way.

For example, there is a teacher nicknamed Little Toad, and a bored classmate learns to call a toad when he is in class, which is called soul communication with the teacher.

For example, if a student wants to skip class to go online, he asks his tablemate Tiezi to find a reason to ask the class teacher for leave, and when the class teacher comes, the same table stands up and reports that his grandmother is dead! A few weeks later, when my classmate's grandmother came to the school to deliver food for meal tickets, the head teacher she saw almost fainted, and she was so angry!

Before the age of twenty, many people do brain-dead things intentionally or unintentionally, and I am afraid I can't count how many they have.

Ronan still remembers that when a female biology teacher named Jiao Moumou introduced herself for the first time, all the boys in the class burst into laughter and were dragged to the playground by the director of the teaching office to run laps......

The head teacher moved and called the boys in the class to help, but after moving, he found that only the outer skin of the thermos was intact, and several boxes of plates and bowls were full of debris.

Later, the school teachers moved and no longer asked the students for help.

From this point of view, it can't be classified as a brain-dead matter, after all, they did a great thing for the juniors at that time.

Young people can do stupid things, and they can also be inspired.

What should I do if the head of the grade and a group of teachers went to check the dormitory next to each other, rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, dismantled the pillows, played cards, and had nowhere to hide? The laundry tub was brought and the things were thrown inside, and the smelly torn socks and dirty trousers were thrown on it, and then the laundry detergent was sprinkled on them, and they were placed at the door, and no one would take a second look.

In that second year, it was endless fun to fight with the dormitory manager, with classmates, and even more fun with teachers.

But the price of losing is terrifying, and it is often unbearable, because it is necessary to call parents.

Probably ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, this is the teacher's biggest killer feature.

When the middle two teenagers grow up, when they look back at these stupid things, they think how could I be so stupid back then?

But teenagers of this age definitely don't see it that way, they just think it's cool.

Therefore, in the eyes of countless girls, "Mean Girl" is a veritable super cool movie.

In EMA Score's on-site survey of cinema audiences, viewers over the age of 22 only gave "Mean Girls" an average score of "C+", while among audiences under 20, the average score of "Mean Girls" was as high as "A"!

Specific to girls of this age, the average score of the film is "A+"!

"The kind that is well shot in youth films, many techniques are there, lively and smart!"

"First of all, the heroine Amanda Seyfried is so beautiful that people can't help but like it when they see it. Secondly, it can make the girls learn something. ”

"This film made me like Amanda Seyfried, she is like a textured elf!"

"The girls in the school are so messy, how will we boys mess up in the future?"

"Very good youth movie. ”

"After watching "Mean Girl", I will focus on the heroine Amanda Seyfried, the daughter in "Hurricane Rescue", the most unprovoked daughter! At that time, Amanda Seyfried had not fully grown up, and in this film, she really grew up, an absolute face bully! A girl with a bad appearance! I finally understood why the traffickers kidnapped her at the risk of being killed. ”

was the most unprovoked daughter last year, but now she is gradually growing up and has truly become a star.

"Hurricane Rescue 2" will start filming soon, and this time it will be Amanda Seyfried's turn to save Liam Neeson, and she will be the most unprovoked daughter in the universe!

In fact, in "Hurricane Rescue", Liam Neeson is the absolute protagonist, and Amanda Seyfried, the supporting actress, is more like playing soy sauce.

But in the second part, Amanda Seyfried's role will be greatly aggravated and she will become a veritable heroine.

Ronan had already asked Mrs. Seyfried to be greeted about the film, and it was a trilogy contract at the time, and Amanda Seyfried was certainly not a problem with his return.

From "Hurricane Rescue", Ronan naturally thought of another big unprovoked Keanu Keewes dog, "Fast Pursuit" seems to be an original movie, strive to get the script out this year to register the copyright, and then wait for Keanu Reeves to eat burgers on the street.

This alternative Hollywood star, it may be said that he lives very freely, or it may be said that he lives a very depressed life.

But there is nothing wrong with this, Keanu Kiewis is a person who values love and righteousness, and in order to fulfill his friend Tiger Chen, he did not hesitate to invest and star in a bad movie.

Ronan once read a news article about "Fast Pursuit", because of Keanu Reeves's dog stalk, the memory is relatively deep.

Keanu Kiewis first chose to star in "Fast and Furious" to help a friend, and the director of this film, Chad Starsky, was Keanu Reeves' stuntman when filming the "Matrix" series.

It can be regarded as a good intention, and the "Fast Pursuit" series has become the only work that Keanu Reeves can take in the later period.

Of course, this kind of film polarization is inevitable.

But for those who like it, what kind of plot does this kind of film want, it is to be refreshing! If you want my dog's life, I will want your dog's life!

As the saying goes, if you kill my dog, I will slaughter your whole family!

This also caters to the appetite of many movie fans in the era of Internet fast food.

"Mean Girls" also caters to the needs of a large group of audiences, and the response is not very hot, but it is also quite good in terms of box office data.

On its first day of release in North America, the film earned $11.87 million from 2,840 theaters.

Twentieth Century Fox's nautical masterpiece "The Raging Sea," which was screened at the same time, fired a squib, Hollywood's top commercial blockbuster, which grossed $8.05 million from 3,201 theaters in just three days of its opening weekend.

For a blockbuster film that cost nearly $120 million to produce, this is definitely not a good score.

And "Clash of the Seas" is not an original film without any foundation, it is based on Patrick O'Brien's famous "Master and Commander: The Other Side of the World".

Among the first-line adaptations, such a poor first-day box office figure can already classify "Angry Sea" as one of the losers.

If the box office on the first day is not good, if you want to make a comeback later, you need a very strong audience reputation as support.

The audience reputation of "Angry Sea" is not bad, and the average audience of EMA SCORE theaters is "A", which is quite rare for commercial films.

But some movies have a good reputation and good quality, but the commercial response is mediocre.

There are many such films, the most typical is "The Shawshank Redemption".

The disturbances surrounding the word-of-mouth and commercial affairs of this film are really unclear for three days.

"Angry Sea" is unfortunate and has also become this genre, regardless of the Rotten Tomatoes that does not have a particularly big impact on commercial films, one day after the release of this film, the IMDB score is 7.7 points, and the average score of the ema Score theater audience is "A", no matter how you look at the box office, there should be a large rebound.

But on the second day of its release, "The Raging Sea" rebounded less than 10 percent at the box office, closing $8.77 million.

Ronan gradually woke up at this time, and one of the reasons for the predicament of "Angry Sea" may be that the audience positioning is not done well.

This is not a purely commercial popcorn, nor is it a movie with profound realistic significance, it is a nautical theme, and it is not as vivid and interesting as "Pirates of the Caribbean", on the contrary, it is a bit heavy.

For such a film, if the investment is low, it will not be effective, and if the investment is high, it will be difficult to recover the cost.

Twentieth Century Fox seems to be very superstitious about Russell Crowe's appeal, but audiences seem to be tired of the Oscar-winning actor.

"Mean Girl" relied on accurate audience positioning, and still firmly overtook "Angry Sea" on the second day of its release, and received $12.88 million on the same day.

Therefore, three days after the weekend, "Mean Girl" sat directly on the top of the box office list with $32.11 million.

In second place is not the newly released "Battle of the Raging Seas", "Christmas Elf" exploded with amazing vitality in the second week of release, ranking second at the box office with a box office revenue of $26.32 million.

The newly opened "Angry Sea" can only rank third, and compared to the huge investment, the opening weekend box office is only a relatively low $24.51 million.

Twentieth Century Fox did not give up, and has publicly announced that "The Raging Sea" will participate in the competition for this Oscar.

Just when the weekend box office statistics came out, a figure from Wall Street quietly found Ronan.
