Fans always can't escape the fate of going high and low to the movie, "Twilight" is definitely a good-to-see movie in the eyes of female audiences and book lovers, but in the face of a wide audience, the reputation is really average.

After the opening weekend, the average IMDB viewer rating for "Twilight" was just 5.3.

On the whole, the audience's word-of-mouth has been rotten, and even the opening weekend has not ended, and the box office has been very obviously high and low.

The North American box office started beautifully, and if you want to have a good harvest later, you also need new excitement.

Regardless of whether Lindsay Beale wants it or not, she has come to where she is now, and some things must be done, she held a press conference on behalf of the crew and producers in the new week, announcing that the follow-up to "Twilight" will be fully adapted into a movie, and at the same time, "New Moon" is officially established, and the main creative crew, including director Katherine Hardwick, actor and actress Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, all return.

These people have signed long-term contracts with Relativity Entertainment, and returning is not a problem.

Such news [ ], the excitement for fans of the original book can be imagined, and many book fans have walked into the theater and started to brush the second or even the third time.

As the number of viewers who saw "Twilight" increased, the film's reputation declined faster.

There is a phenomenon in the film market that can be said to be relatively common, a good reputation does not necessarily have a high box office, and conversely, a high box office does not mean a good reputation.

The popularity of "Twilight" has pushed a fact that no one can deny to Hollywood - the post-90s generation, who are still regarded as children, have become one of the main consumer groups of movies.

In the process of the rise of audiences in the new era, the world's film market will experience a relatively common phenomenon for a long period of time, and word-of-mouth, especially professional word-of-mouth, will no longer have as great a commercial impact on films as in the past.

In Tom Cruise's words to Ronan, "the box office is good, the word of mouth is bad, and the actors are inexplicably popular, this is the most intuitive feeling that "Twilight" gives me." ”

In the future, there will be a lot of films like "Twilight", and the biggest feature is that the movie is getting worse and worse, the reputation is getting worse and worse, and the box office is getting better and better!

After the start of the new week, with the addition of the Valentine's Day effect, the box office trend of "Twilight" did not fall to the point of misery.

Someone once said that this is a worse world, and the commercial response after the release of a movie depends on itself on the one hand, and competitors on the other.

During Valentine's Day, the market has a high demand for romance films, and the market during this period is often dominated by women.

Which one should you watch among the many movies such as Warner Bros.'s "Together", Universal's "Love Goes Overboard", DreamWorks' "My Wives Are a Big Mac" and Lionsgate's "Daddy's Little Daughters", and Relativity Entertainment's "Twilight"?

After the horizontal comparison of many Valentine's Day films, the advantages of "Twilight" became more and more obvious.

For five days, from Wednesday Valentine's Day to Sunday, romance movies are all the rage.

Of all the films released at the same time, "Twilight" has the highest screening rate and attendance rate.

The film took another $45.77 million in five days.

Including Monday and Tuesday, ten days after its release, "Twilight" grossed $131.25 million at the North American box office.

Among them, nearly 80% of the box office revenue comes from the contribution of female audiences.

Before the plot, Embassy Pictures also introduced "Twilight" to Hollywood's major overseas film market.

Thanks to the North American box office explosion and this special Valentine's Day schedule, the market response of the film is generally very good, and in this week, the overseas box office has received nearly $68 million.

Another characteristic of Hollywood movies is becoming more and more obvious now, but any film that hits the North American box office will not have a bad response overseas.

Similarly, there are countless female viewers overseas who have bought into "Twilight".

There is no shortage of girlish hearts and Mary Sue in any country and in people with different cultural backgrounds.

In just ten days, the worse the more love seems to have become a symbol of "Twilight", no matter how loud, noisy and vilified the outside world is, fans still stand still.

Reality has created a huge chasm between the popularity of "The Twilight Szen" and its authenticity: on the one hand, the fanatical fans, and on the other hand, the rhetoric from the media to film critics to adult male audiences.

It has to be said that there is a huge disconnect between the preferences of teenage fans and mainstream public opinion on "Twilight".

In the final analysis, the cultural elites who have the right to speak in the media look down on the "cultural dicks" who have the right to speak at the box office.

Another phenomenon is that several young actors are incredibly popular.

In the Relativity Building, in Ronan's small conference room, a small discussion is underway.

There were only three people in attendance, Ronan, George Clint and Lindsay Beale.

George Clint looked at the various feedback data from "Twilight" in his hand and said: "Through "Twilight", I have come to the conclusion that I feel that teenagers fan-fan movies can be another kind of box office growth point that we can operate for a long time in addition to superhero films. ”

Ronan fully agrees with this point of view: "The post-85s, especially the post-90s, have grown up and have the idea of choosing their own movies, and their movie consumption power cannot be ignored. ”

Lindsay Beale continued: "Running Twilight, I feel more really. ”

George Clint looked at Lindsay Beal, Lindsay Beale pushed his glasses, and his delicate face was full of seriousness: "Don't underestimate that group of teenagers!"

Ronan nodded slowly and said: "This group of energetic and wide-ranging young people will be a new force in the box office market for a long time in the future. ”

George Clint said, "Not just 'Twilight', 'The Hunger Games' we're going to speed things up as well. ”

The popularity of these highly sought-after popular teenagers has risen after "Twilight", and the fan base and popularity accumulated by the best-selling have made the filmmakers even need to waste too much energy in exchange for a considerable box office result.

"Twilight is just the beginning!" Ronan said, "Twilight is just the beginning!" and he asked instead, "Are the plans for New Moon made?"

George Clint was the first to reply: ""Twilight is a big hit, the main creative staff will definitely be paid, and the production budget will rise to about $40 million." ”

Lindsay-Beale added: "If it weren't for the early signing of a long-term contract, the budget would probably need to increase by another $10 million. ”

"Yes. Ronan is perfectly receptive to such a production budget: "Lindsay, what are your plans for 'New Moon'?"

Lindsay Beale immediately said: "Katherine Hardwick and I both agree to keep the style of the first part. "The Twilight Zone" is a very clean movie, and the second one is still the same. ”

Although the first part was not well received, the success of the box office brought a lot of confidence, she further said: "Catherine Hardwick made a very successful start, which made our entire production team feel the pressure, but we also have a goal to learn from, in the first part, Catherine Hardwick laid a lot of foreshadowing, the story has just begun, so we can give a sequel a lot of possibilities, including how to set the core direction of the story." ”

Ronan listened attentively, and as the person who actually wrote, no one knew more about the series than Lindsay Beale.

"Isabella and Edward have only just met, and the story between them has not yet begun. Lindsay-Beale added: "The grudges within the vampires, the struggle with werewolves, and the various mentalities of normal humans towards vampires and werewolves will all be shown in 'New Moon'." Catherine Hardwick and I plan to cover a lot of scenes in the second part and stitch them together organically, so that the audience can have a clearer understanding of the worldview of the film. ”

Ronan carefully considered Lindsay Beale's words and said, "Yes, it's up to you to decide." ”

George Clint shifted the conversation to another project: "Lindsay knows The Hunger Games best, and I suggest that Lindsay be in charge of this project as well. ”

Ronan thought about it the same way and asked, "Can you take care of it?"

"I'm going to let Gossip Girl go. Lindsey Beale said: "The Hunger Games and 'Twilight' were staggered, and there was no problem. ”

Ronan said directly: "These two projects, released every other year, will complete "Twilight 2" first, and then "The Hunger Games". ”

Lindsay Beale replied, "No problem. ”

"When it comes to the director of The Hunger Games, I have a choice. Ronan said directly: "Patty Jenkins, who directed "The Female Devil", Shahai Entertainment can contact it in advance. ”

"The Hunger Games" is very different from "Twilight", which involves a lot of action scenes, many female directors are not good at action scene shooting, Patty Jenkins once impressed Ronan, in addition to directing Charlize Theron to win the Oscar for Best Actress "The Devil", and the former "Wonder Woman".

Lindsey Beale said: "I know Patty Jenkins and have had some dealings, and Jesse and I have attended women's rights parties organized by the likes of Party-Jenkins. ”

Ronan said, "Then you're in charge of making initial contact with Patty Jenkins. ”

George Clint said at this time: "Lindsay and I did preliminary planning, and the production budget of The Hunger Games was about $50 million. He thought for a moment and added, "The premise is that you can't use big stars." ”

If you want to use A-list stars, both male and female protagonists are counted, you may need another $20 million budget for real or fake.

Ronan quickly decided: "As in 'Twilight', the protagonist uses a new person. ”
