Chapter 923: Not Bad, It's Okay. (2/3)

When the clock turns to 6:20, the theater begins to check in.

When Simmons lined up with his girlfriend, he turned his head to look at the number of people around him, the number of people was okay, but these people didn't seem to be so popular enough for "The Flash", which took a year to shoot and was grandly screened on the Christmas schedule?

After all, Dimei's distribution capabilities are the strongest company in Hollywood.

Sure enough, after checking the tickets, Simmons and his girlfriend went to the theater to find a place and sat down, turned their heads and scanned the theater, and it was estimated that it was three-quarters full.

For other film companies, this attendance may have already opened the champagne and started to celebrate.

But for Dimei Pictures' "The Flash", there doesn't seem to be anything to be proud of.

Moreover, the theater Simmons chose to come to is located in the bustling thoroughfare of New York, and the flow of people is very large, so such a theater is not full at the premiere, so the attendance rate of other theaters can be imagined.

He didn't think too much, everything still needs to wait for the movie to be released, and he will only make an objective evaluation after seeing the audience's reactions and comments.

After a while, the lights in the theater went out, and "The Flash" was officially released.

"The Flash" has been filmed twice, this is the third, the plot is very old-fashioned, except for the protagonist in the first part because of a series of adventures, and obtained the superpower of lightning, which makes everyone feel bright, this idea is indeed very amazing.

As a result, this movie was extremely popular at the time, and according to the rules of Hollywood, then the sequel will definitely continue to be filmed next.

So, there is the second part, and now the third part.

After watching it for 20 minutes, Simmons' brows furrowed slightly, and he had a very strange feeling in his heart.

Irritability, or the desire to hold a machine gun and shoot fiercely in all directions, can make him completely relaxed.

This plot is too predictable.

Continuing the plot of the first and second parts, in the previous one, the protagonist finally defeated the boss, won the victory, and saved the entire rice country and the world.

In the third part, the remnants of the previous part were suddenly subdued by a powerful person, and then plotted against the protagonist to make the protagonist lose his superpowers, and then the protagonist tried various ways to restore his abilities, while also fighting against the villain.

Although the movie is not over yet, Simmons can already guess the next plot.

It's corny.

Actually, it can't be said that the script created by the screenwriter is very rubbish, but as we all know, shooting a sequel to a blockbuster movie is inherently a chore.

And once it doesn't meet the audience's taste, it will be singled out for all kinds of faults.

The third "The Flash" can't be shot badly, although Simmons is not a professional film critic, but he still has the basic ability to appreciate, otherwise he would not be very optimistic about Chinese kung fu movies at the beginning.

If Simmons is asked to make an evaluation of this "Flash" that is being released now, then he can say it right away.

Because of the next plot, he can imagine it without watching it.

Dimei Pictures spent almost a year and hundreds of millions of astronomical sums to shoot this blockbuster of the Christmas schedule, the plot is good, the director is good, the actors are okay, the special effects are very spectacular, and the big scene is worthy of this ticket price.

But Simmons' evaluation of this movie in his heart is not very high.

No surprises.

Maybe the film will end up with a decent box office, but he believes that this sequel will definitely not have the sensation that the first part was released.

He can 100% vouch for his judgment.

In other words, the only bad thing about this movie is that it does not live up to the expectations of fans and fans for this sequel.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, which will be infinitely magnified at that time.

If another movie is compared at this time, it will undoubtedly be a failure for Dimei Pictures.

Simmons is now a mid-level member of AMC Cinemas, and he has seen the Oriental DreamWorks dailies, and even at this moment, he still remembers the wonderful footage from time to time.

In particular, he thought that in order to screen the 3D version of "Transformers", the company's senior management specially closed a theater, and everyone wore glasses to watch the so-called 3D version, and immediately understood why the young genius in China was so obsessed with making a 3D version of this movie.

The feeling is absolutely incomparable, and there are no words to describe the immersive shock.

"Is this director pretending to be an S in his head? How could Mike be so downcast?"

"Do you have to go through such twists and turns and tribulations every time?" ......

At this time, a sudden burst of discussion in the theater quickly interrupted Simmons' distraction.

He looked up at the screen, and it turned out that at this time, the plot of the movie happened to be a scene where the protagonist was bullied after losing his superpowers, and it was obvious that the audience didn't buy it.

Maybe the director may have set up this plot for the later outbreak, but it seems that the audience doesn't like this plot now.

However, this plot quickly flashed by, and the audience quickly quieted down and continued to watch the movie.

The next plot is just like Simmons' conjecture, the protagonist slowly recovers his superpowers, defeats every opponent, and finally when the villain boss is about to destroy the entire rice country, he recovers the ability he has during the victory in time, defeats the opponent, and saves the entire rice country.

Looking at the shocking special effects that cost countless dollars on the screen, Simmons didn't feel a trace of excitement.

In less than two hours, "The Flash" was finished.

At the end of the show, Simmons couldn't help but ask his girlfriend, "Is it good-looking, how does it feel?"

"It's okay!" The girlfriend glanced at Simmons curiously when she heard this, wondering why her boyfriend would ask like this, "Aren't all popcorn blockbusters like this?"

Simmons heard the answer given by his girlfriend, and then he listened intently to the discussion of every audience around him, and slowly had an evaluation of the Christmas blockbuster of Dimei Pictures in his heart.

It's okay, yes, it seems that's all.

When he and his girlfriend walked out of the theater, their eyes swept and they saw that they were staring in his direction not far away, with an unkind face, as if they were going to eat themselves alive.

At this time, Simmons was in a very good mood because he had sorted out a little clue, and he teased, which can be regarded as a reward for this guy's behavior just now, so when he passed by Jack Richardson, he stopped, took out a business card from his pocket, and said: "If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to me, after all, we are colleagues." ”

After saying this, he also patted Jack Richardson on the shoulder before leaving with his girlfriend.

Jack Richardson's face turned red, his fists clenched tightly, but thinking of his current identity, he couldn't bear it, and the depression and grievances in his heart were nowhere to vent.

Looking at Simmons' departing figure, he looked down at the business card in his hand.

"AMC Cinemas, a place where the soul flies!"

"Simmons, Publishing!"

I really became an AMC person!
