Chapter 777: Taking Stock of the Summer Files

Rhythm is a very important place for cinema that needs to be perfectly controlled.

If the pace is too fast, the audience will lack a sense of substitution, and if it is too slow, it will make people drowsy. Watching Hollywood-made action blockbusters, the successful ones almost all have a good grasp of the rhythm.

Action scenes, emotional scenes, and a sense of humor interspersed with them from time to time. These links form the skeleton of the whole movie, and then add the plot that advances the plot elsewhere.

But it doesn't mean that a few minutes to design a small paragraph, and then ten minutes to design a big paragraph, such a blunt setting, how to grasp this degree must be understood by the director himself. So Leila can only tell him some of her experience, and the rest needs to be mastered by him through a lot of experiments.

For Layla's help, Nolan is very grateful. In return, he wrote her name in the screenwriting column of "Deadly Magic". Other than that, he couldn't find a way to show his gratitude anywhere else.

And Leila directly invested in the movie, not only did the funds not go online, but even the crew asked him to choose who he needed in his own company. You must know that there is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in her company, and she has even won a lot of Oscars.

In this regard, Nolan has no other words of gratitude except for vowing to make "Deadly Magic" well. There is an old oriental saying that a soldier dies for his confidant, and he deeply realized this at this time.

The busy days lasted until the end of the year, and a report on the inventory of summer movies attracted a lot of attention and controversy.

The focus of the report is interesting, that is, the three movies that detonated the box office this summer.

That's right, it's three.

Suddenly seeing the word three made many fans stunned for a moment, because in addition to remembering the explosion of "The Lord of the Rings 1", and "Batman: The Mystery of the Shadows", which bravely challenged Lyra's authority and won the box office championship for a week from the tiger's mouth, there seems to be no good movie that they can always remember.

However, the report pointed to a forgotten blockbuster, which was "War of the Worlds" directed by Steven Spielberg.

It wasn't until I saw this name that countless people remembered that when they first entered the summer file, wasn't it the big screen that was detonated by this movie?

The report has made various inquiries about this phenomenon, and why the public and media critics praised it as "Spielberg's darkest science fiction film", "a huge, frightening, vivid and interesting film", and "opened up a new style of science fiction" at the time of its release.

Some fans even said slogans such as "the most moving movie this summer" and "the best commercial film this summer".

It can be seen that this movie also has his success.

But why do people forget that it exists when the summer season is over?

Readers who see this are also wondering in their hearts, yes, why don't you remember this movie at all?

The newspaper gave an interesting statement, and he believed that the reason why this happened was that the distributor of the film made a mistake.

The original time for "War of the Worlds" was set on June 29. But since they knew that Leila's "Lord of the Rings" was also set around this time, they changed the schedule and changed the time to the first day of the summer schedule. That way, they don't have to fight Lyla directly.

Although it may seem as if Spielberg is afraid of Leila, there is nothing wrong with this strategy, and whether they can fight it or not, it is certain that they will not be able to deal with it in a crushing way. Or rather, no one has the confidence to crush Lyla's movie.

Since it can't be crushed, it will definitely cause a lose-lose situation. Moreover, Layla chose the time to make a bet with Mike Bay, and it was obviously impossible to negotiate for her to move to another time, so the distributor of "War of the Worlds" simply coordinated and released their own movie at a different time.

Not only did they do this, but several movies did the same. So much so that in this year's summer season, a vacuum circle was unexpectedly vacated, so that in the weeks of "The Lord of the Rings", except for "The Mystery of the Shadow", no other blockbusters were released.

According to the report, it seems that "War of the Worlds" has changed its schedule, defeated a number of small films, won a good box office, and also received a lot of good reviews. It's much worse than "The Mystery of the Shadow".

Why do people only remember the movies of Leila and Nolan when talking about the summer season? It's because the two movies collided directly!

The detonation of "The Lord of the Rings" made fans addicted, and at the same time, they also remembered the "Mystery of the Shadow" on the impact. Perhaps at the beginning, it did lose some income due to the influence of the Lord of the Rings, but as the word of mouth rose, people instead learned about this new Batman movie through The Lord of the Rings.

In an ancient Oriental saying, this is called Saion's loss of horses and the knowledge of non-happiness. When everyone thought Batman was going to be unlucky, the Lord of the Rings played a role in helping him promote it. People are curious about the mystery of the Shadows, and they want to know what it is, so confident that they can collide directly with a terrifying behemoth like The Lord of the Rings without worrying about being crushed.

So part of the box office that may have been lost at the beginning was made up in such a situation. And because the quality of the movie itself is not bad, it has attracted a lot of attention.

After the summer season passed, when everyone was reminiscing about this box office war, only "The Lord of the Rings" and "Batman: The Mystery of the Shadows" came to mind, and no one remembered "War of the Worlds" anymore.

At the end of the report, the publishers of the World War laughed at them in a mocking tone, arguing that their backing down was a loss of money. If they are as brave as Batman to collide with Layla's movie, it will definitely detonate the heat and eventually become a topic of conversation among the public.

Leila read the report at Demi's prompting. The arguments are interesting, but the final speculation is just speculation. If "War of the Worlds" had really stayed at that time, I am afraid that it would have died a miserable death.

It's not that it's not of good quality, but three equally good movies squeezed together will certainly have an impact on all three. Just a little box office, you earn me to grab it, no matter how much you can get, you can't get much.

There is also a limit of money in the hands of fans, and many people may be able to spend on one or two shows in the cinema, so that the three movies will inevitably cause a situation where they will fall into each other's hands. That would be a bad result for anyone.
