Chapter 1161: The Opponent Who Fights the Street (2)

The negative comments in the media have left the producers anxious. Even if they found some people who were willing to say good things for them, they didn't even bubble up in the fierce media comments and disappeared into the saliva of criticism.

I'm afraid no one thought that the film that was so optimistic before would pounce so hard.

Some media have questioned why "Green Lantern" is like this. The director's strength and experience are good, and the actor's acting skills are also considered online in addition to the comments on his temperament, and the money spent on special effects seems to be a lot. So what exactly made the box office of the movie fall into a mess at the beginning of its release?

When there is doubt, some people analyze it, and some commentators think that their propaganda methods are problematic.

When Ryan was originally decided to be the Green Lantern, comic book fans had some objections because his temperament did not match the imagined Green Lantern, which was quite fierce. But the filmmaker didn't listen to those voices at all, and still focused on him when promoting, which caused comic fans who should have been the main box office to be unwilling to pay for the protagonist they didn't like.

In addition, the villain does not appear at all in the released trailer. Imagine that there are no bad guys, how can it reflect the hero's power? It completely weakened the momentum of the whole film from the beginning.

Of course, it's certainly not just a matter of publicity, the film itself has a lot of problems. Compared with the previously released "X-Men: Lesson One", you can see where their problems are. The same superhero film, which costs twice as much as others, has achieved similar box office results in the first three days of the first week.

How could the producers accept it, but even if it was a bitter fruit, they had to swallow it with a smile. They also hope to earn a little more money overseas, if they even admit to pounce on their own side, can anyone abroad be willing to watch?

Lyra looked at the analysis report brought by Demi in the office, and felt that "Green Lantern" was really not wronged.

According to the survey, only 20% of the audience of "Green Lantern" is under the age of 25, which shows that young people do not like to watch it. You must know that young people are the main box office force of superhero movies, and even they don't want to watch them, so what are you waiting for if the movie doesn't pounce?

At the same time, the reputation of the movie is also extremely poor. Rotten Tomatoes has a 25% freshness rating, an IMDB score of 6.4, and a CinemaScore survey showing that viewers rate the film only B.

"Boss, should we also step up our publicity?" Demi was clearly frightened by Green Lantern's brutality.

That's a film that costs more than 300 million, and it's a pounce. Their films don't cost that much, and the shooting time is much shorter than each other's, so it's very worrying no matter how you think about it.

"The propaganda is still coming as planned. Leila looked at her with a smile: "Don't worry, we won't be that miserable." ”

Demi admires her boss's composure, and she thinks that if she were in the boss's position, she might have been too nervous to fidget. But look at the boss, he should talk about it and smile, and he doesn't seem to pay attention to the situation in front of him at all. Does she remember what she said before the movie?

If it was normal, she wouldn't feel that nervous. It's not difficult to earn more than a billion with the boss's ability, but it's really not good, and hundreds of millions are definitely no problem. But now it's different, their goal is directly 3 billion "Avatar", and the tense atmosphere is almost impossible for her to breathe.

In fact, she didn't know that Leila was not as calm as she thought. This version of "The Avengers" has a lot of differences from the original version in the previous life, the wonderful parts have been modified to be more exciting in her opinion, and the parts she thinks are cumbersome have also been cut or modified by her. It can be said that if you have watched both versions, it is likely that the relationship between the two is not big, just the same group of leading actors.

This is not the same as her previous "Lord of the Rings", which will still have a little bit of original stuff in it, no matter how you say it. And now "The Avengers" is basically her thing. From the script to the special effects, more than 85% of the parts are stained with her breath.

So she doesn't have any idea about the box office. If her changes are acceptable to the audience, she has more than half a chance of achieving her desired goals. But if the audience can't accept her modifications, maybe the box office won't even reach the billions of the original. That's a real shame.

How could she not be nervous in such a situation? It was just that she didn't put nervousness on her face. Because she knows that no matter how nervous she is, the movie can't be changed.

In the time that followed, the box office of "Green Lantern" still did not improve. The only question about the production is whether you can get back more money.

At this time, they can only put their greatest hope on overseas releases, which is very embarrassing, because it is unfortunate that the biggest box office they hope for is precisely the East that is rising very fast. And in the East, Leila is a hurdle that can't be bypassed no matter what.

"I just said don't provoke her in the first place, right? Now, how can we convince her to give her more big screens?"

"Making such a decision was also the result of deliberation at the top, wasn't it? Who would have known that the movie could be so bleak at that time? Will the company that has hoped for the movie push out the $100 million that was sent to the door?"

The person next to him stopped the two from continuing to argue: "No matter how much you quarrel now, you can't get any results, let's see how to solve this matter!"

"Why don't you find an intermediary to talk to Moran?"

"That's the only way! The East is the last position we can look forward to, and we must recover the lost funds there! The East likes to watch special effects blockbusters, aren't we?"

That's what Leila has been figuring out, why they have to choose a time that is obviously not good for them to release their film when they have a good relationship with Warner?

What can make people give up their interests will definitely be the tendency of more interests.

The production cost of "Green Lantern" plus the promotion and publicity money reached more than 300 million, although Warners themselves can come up with this money, but they naturally hope that the risk can be grafted more on the heads of other companies. Then working with other companies is the best option.

Not to mention large companies, some small film companies may join dozens of film companies to co-invest with a production cost of 10 million yuan to ensure that the risk of investment failure is minimized.

In this case, someone joined the investment queue with $100 million, and there was only one request, that is, to make Leila's film an enemy and do anything that could affect her to break the box office record of "Avatar".

How could Warner's top brass not be happy?
