"Pearl Harbor is a three-hour film about how the raid on the islanders on December 7, 1941, served as a foil for an American love triangle. Its main gimmick is the cumbersome 40-minute special effects production, interspersed with a corny love story that makes people faint. The film is clumsy, lacking imagination and originality, and although you may remember a few lines when you leave the cinema, it is by no means out of admiration. (The New York Times)

"In terms of performance, the three protagonists are all competent, but lack of brilliance, the male protagonist is used to playing bullish roles, probably not far from his own temperament; the man is a bit like Kobe Bryant when he was young, he has a star appearance but can't see how high his acting skills; British actress Kate is just a vase, and it should be no problem to be familiar with this movie. The three of them are all good-looking, and under the careful conditioning of photography, makeup and costumes, they show their own basic but not enough charm. (Movie Review)"

Bad reviews are bad reviews, and bad reviews of "Pearl Harbor" pop up all the time, which is almost fatal for a movie, because "Pearl Harbor" is in theaters, and its bad reviews will affect its subsequent box office, after all, if a movie wants long-term benefits, it still depends on its own quality.

As soon as the reputation of "Pearl Harbor" collapsed, Douglas convened again, because "Home Alone" would be released after "Pearl Harbor".

Xu Qian said: "Pearl Harbor has a very poor reputation, maybe we can make some articles. ”

Ma Long also said: "If the box office of "Pearl Harbor" falls later, the theater chain will definitely make adjustments." ”

The cinema chain is very realistic, they only focus on commercial interests, and whichever movie can make them money, then which movie can get a lot of filming.

"You mean?"

Douglas already understood.

"At that time, there will be a lot of theaters available, and the number of theaters that will be available... ”

The light in Douglas's eyes flickered more and more: "We can get most of it into our hands." ”

Xu Qian said: "We can also add a little bit to the fire in terms of public opinion. ”

Xu Gan will not be polite to Exploding Bei, since the two of them are opponents, then he will do whatever it takes to defeat them and destroy them by all means, who will let him provoke himself? Xu Gan has always believed in the principle that if people do not offend me, I will not offend others, and if people offend me, I will offend others.

The reputation of "Pearl Harbor" is definitely not as it presents now, in fact, the reputation of "Pearl Harbor" is worse than imagined, but Fox has suppressed public opinion, such as the remarks of those veterans.

Ma Long glanced at Xu Qian in surprise, he didn't think that this person would be so retribution, and the explosion would really outweigh the losses for him.

But this is also a normal business operation, and others can't say anything, isn't that the shopping mall like this?

Ma Long said in his heart: "You can't mess with this Chinese in the future." ”

Although he looks like a bully, he actually holds a grudge very much, and once he gets mad, then his opponent will fall into an extremely difficult situation.

Douglas nodded, "Okay." ”

He didn't think there was anything wrong, this kind of thing is too common in Hollywood, and he felt that Fox would definitely not be happy to hack "Home Alone" if he had such an opportunity.

At that time, it depends on the quality of "Home Alone" and Warner's public relations ability, Douglas is still very confident in his own public relations ability, he thinks that Warner's public relations ability is stronger than Fox, although Warner and Fox are giants, but it is obvious that Warner is stronger than Fox, this is Douglas's confidence.

As the birthplace of the Internet, the network in North America has been very developed, and it is penetrating into every corner of the country's work and life, followed by a huge influence, Warner only needs to make some moves to fuel the fire, then "Pearl Harbor" will be doomed.

No, the rating of "Pearl Harbor" has dropped dramatically again.

IMDB's rating went from more than six to a failing 5.3。。。。。。

The CinemaScore network score is only 5.2。。。。。。。。

The rating of a movie has already failed, and you can imagine how bad the movie is, which is almost devastating for "Pearl Harbor", which prides itself on being an epic movie.

If it was a popcorn movie shot by Bang Bei in the past, there might be a possibility of turning over, and there was almost no possibility of turning over an epic movie like this.

And the veterans are also preaching everywhere how bad "Pearl Harbor" really is.

"What kind of thing is this filming? I don't respect war at all, I don't respect historical facts at all, where is there so much romance in war, where is there so much wind and snow? He was kicked in the head by a donkey, and he was angry with me, such a person is not worthy of being a director. ”

"I watched it very heartbrokenly, the war was so cruel, such a serious thing, and he took a picture of it. ”

"This person has eaten too many brain pieces, right? I think he should go back to shooting explosion movies, a movie that only makes explosions wants to touch on serious war themes, this is simply a blasphemy of this subject, where does such a person come from and go back. ”

"Is this a war movie? Why can't I feel it, this is clearly a movie about a love triangle, the war is just a foil, and the film is shot like this, which is disrespectful to that battlefield!"

。。。。。。。。。。。。

These comments were only suppressed by Fox before, but now that Warner is behind it, then Fox naturally can't suppress it, although Fox is angry, he is helpless, because not only Warner is targeting Fox, but Paramount, another big Hollywood giant, is also targeting him.

As long as "Pearl Harbor" is obtained, then the box office of "Poseidon" released by Paramount can also go further.

In the final analysis, "Pearl Harbor" is too bad, and it is Adou who can't be supported.

"Pearl Harbor" is almost exploding.

"I actually made a war movie into a love scene, love your mother's love, a boring bloody love triangle!"

"As soon as Bang Bei plays a love scene, God will laugh and the film will rot!"

"The bloody love triangle has a dime to do with the war, which is far inferior to the previous "Saving the Soldier". ”

"I think it's easy to shoot a very successful theme, but the director didn't, and he did half of it, and he changed his feelings after finishing his work. ”

"I want to say, it's enough for two people to fall in love with the same person, isn't it good for the first man and the second man to be together, really, two people are together and depend on each other, and it feels good to take care of each other and trust each other, for a woman, why is it so hard. ”

"Garbage, I really can't think of any comments to evaluate this movie, this is a garbage film, I can't look at it directly, watching this film really affects my mood. ”

"Don't respect historical facts, exaggerate excessively, but for commercial blockbusters, the eyeball effect is enough to stand up to box office success; ”

"The most chicken love line in the history of blockbusters, can the two male protagonists be more boring, Kate is a movie star like a labor army throughout the whole process, almost thanks to the island army for dropping bombs to interrupt them. ”

"Explosive shell, explosive shell, you will only shoot explosion special effects type movies, this kind of plot is complex, deep connotation, you don't touch it, so as not to be embarrassed. ”

。。。。。。。。。。

Originally, the reputation of "Pearl Harbor" was not very good, and now the reputation has further declined, which is a complete disaster for the movie "Pearl Harbor".

The explosion Bedu was going crazy, he really didn't think that this would be the case, the box office of "Pearl Harbor" would have declined due to poor word of mouth, and now this decline will be strengthened, which must be fueled by someone behind it.

Bang Bei knows that Hollywood is like this, everything is based on interests first, and you can only endure it if others mess with you.

Of course, he felt very aggrieved, very aggrieved, especially when he saw the bad reviews of "Pearl Harbor" from ordinary audiences.

Bang Bei knows that there is still some influence on the box office of summer films, but it tends to zero infinitely, and it is these ordinary people who really determine the box office, but now these ordinary people are standing on the opposite side of "Pearl Harbor", how can this make him not worry?

What made him even more deflated were the comments.

"I'm still waiting to heal the damage caused by Pearl Harbor with Home Alone!"

"What kind of thing was filmed in "Pearl Harbor", Bang Bei also slandered Xu Qian, I think he is not as good as Xu Qian, you should go and watch "Home Alone", and learn how to make a movie!"

"I don't go to see 'Pearl Harbor' anymore, but I still keep my pocket money to buy 'Home Alone' tickets. ”

"Give up Pearl Harbor and wait for Home Alone!"

"Pearl Harbor is so trash. ”

"Wait +1!"

"Waiting for Home Alone。。。。。 ”

。。。。。。。。。。。

Exploding Bei was about to go crazy with these comments, where did he still not know who was behind it?

Whoever gets the most benefits, then who is behind the scenes, Xu Gan's hateful smile unconsciously appeared in his mind: "This shaft." ”

He didn't think that the person he looked down on so much would put him in such a passive situation.

"Damn, hateful, damnable!"

Exploding Bei only felt that his chest was filled with depression.

The pre-publicity and super-large-scale investment of "Pearl Harbor" can attract audiences into theaters, but when the negative word-of-mouth begins to ferment and spread, its box office will plummet like all big-budget bad movies.

As a result, the single-day box office of "Pearl Harbor" shrank to $3.21 million, and then continued to decline, earning only $3.05 million。。。。。。。。。。。。

The role of the Internet water army is too strong, it can hold a movie to the sky, and it can also send a movie to hell, of course, the first thing is that there is a problem with the quality of the film.

Although the box office of "Pearl Harbor" exceeded 50 million US dollars, the trend of serious diving caused various forecasting agencies to lower their final box office expectations all the way, and even most institutions believed that the North American box office of this film could not exceed 100 million US dollars.

If it really can't even break through $100 million, then "Pearl Harbor" will be a disaster-level film.

"It's going to face the Chinese's "Home Alone" next. ”

Now no one dares to underestimate that Chinese, and no one dares to underestimate "Home Alone", and the fact that a Chinese can succeed in such a strange country is enough in itself.

The spacious office was silent, and Bang Bei sat alone on his desk, placing a report that had just been printed, his gaze occasionally sweeping over the numbers of the report, and his brows, which were already twisted together, tightened even tighter.

It's a bright spring outside, and it's cold inside.

This coldness, of course, comes from "Pearl Harbor", which has just been released for a weekend.

Although he knew that the box office of "Pearl Harbor" would collapse with word-of-mouth, he did not expect it to collapse to this extent.

Collapsed to the point that he, a famous director, may find it difficult to direct commercial blockbusters in the future, or quit the rivers and lakes because of this, and can no longer be a director!

Blast didn't know what to say, and his eyes touched the report again, and the numbers on the report made him feel very glaring.

It's so miserable that now the box office of "Pearl Harbor" can only exceed $70 million.

$70 million is a lot, but it's nothing compared to the huge investment in the film.

The film has made several additional investments, and the final production cost reached as much as 150 million US dollars, plus the publicity costs, that is a full 200 million US dollars!

Now, how much more can that $200 million be recovered?

Exploding Bei didn't dare to imagine it, because the more I thought about it, the more I had a headache!

You must know that in order to give investors confidence, he has invested all his net worth, and now it seems that he himself is estimated to go bankrupt, maybe he will have to owe a lot of debts, and he is estimated to make movies in order to repay debts in the future.

That kind of career is not what he wants, and why he made "Pearl Harbor" is because he doesn't want to be controlled by others anymore, and he doesn't want to make movies that he doesn't like.

But now that the box office of "Pearl Harbor" is not satisfactory, his future will be more limited, which is also a matter of no choice, "Pearl Harbor" failed, and it will become very difficult for him to transform again.

"Too much deception!"

"Damn the Chinese. ”

Although there is no evidence, Bang Bei can also think with his toes, among which Warner Bros. and Xu Qian must be behind the scenes, and Paramount, the distribution company behind "Poseidon", which was screened at the same time as "Pearl Harbor", has definitely not stood idly by, although the audience of the film is different, but since there is an opportunity to suppress "Pearl Harbor", no one will let go of this opportunity.

And it's not without benefits.

In the past two working days, the film, which is known as the blood love triangle with the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, has slipped below $2 million at the box office in a single day, and the shrinkage has made Bang Bei very angry.

What frightened him was that the theater chain made adjustments to the schedule of "Pearl Harbor", and "Pearl Harbor" was cut a considerable amount of theaters.

Originally, "Pearl Harbor" has been screened in about 3,300 theaters, but before the arrival of a new weekend, 400 were cut, of which 200 screens were divided by "Poseidon" and some other movies, and the other 200 screens were bagged by "Home Alone"!

Xu Qian and Warner Bros. jointly created the epic masterpiece "Home Alone", which will be painted in 3,562 theaters!

As long as he thought of this number, Exploding Bei couldn't suppress the fire in his chest.

Because the other party stepped on his position, he has always looked down on the Chinese, but now he is fiercely put on a fierce position by a Chinese like Xu Qian, how can this not make him angry?

His anger was already indescribable, and he really wanted to kick Xu Qian to death.

However, after this battle, Exploding Bei can be regarded as seeing Xu Qian's power.

At this moment, Bang Bei's strongest wish in his heart is that Xu Gan's "Home Alone" hits the street, he is not happy, and he doesn't want others to be happy.
