Chapter 354: The Extreme of Violent Aesthetics (2)
In the article, the violent scenes in the movie are called - "the ultimate beautiful blood, the ultimate tyrannical".
"She (Leila Moran) uses her miraculous filming technique to show the revenge of a bride who lost her husband and children at a wedding. With the blood spurting wildly, the flesh and blood flying sideways, the whole movie is all about the deliciousness of this feast of revenge. ”
"The film is a perfect blend of oriental kung fu and Japanese kendo, and the exotic atmosphere shown in the film also makes the film full of incredible charm. ”
The commentators of "Entertainment Home" have to praise almost every plot, and blow the movie as the only one in heaven and on earth.
Leila couldn't help but laugh when she looked at the praise above, and always felt that according to them, she was no longer a director but a god of movies.
Putting her own media aside, she filtered out the more pertinent movie reviews and watched them. I found that the reviews given were good, especially the techniques used to shoot and the techniques of tone and light.
She smiled at their compliments, because she also felt that she had mastered a lot of things that she hadn't mastered before. In the words of fantasy, he will be promoted by himself. It was as if the stone that had been blocked in my heart had been removed, and I had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
For example, Cooper and some comments that were hostile to her were not interesting to read, and she was not a masochist, so why did she read them even if she knew she was scolding herself?
While she was reading the newspaper, Demi knocked on the door from the outside and came in.
Seeing that her face was not very good-looking, Leila put down the newspaper and looked at her curiously: "What's the matter?"
Demi hesitated for a moment before saying, "I just received last night's box office." ”
Leila raised an eyebrow: "Not very good grades?"
"I can't say it's not good...... "Demi struggled, she didn't know how to open that mouth, because she knew her boss didn't like to fail. The results you can get now ......
Leila smiled, already guessing what she was trying to say, "Was it that yesterday's box office was not as high as 'The Thirteenth Warrior'?"
"You got it?" Demi looked at her in surprise. She also ran in as soon as she got the news, but she didn't expect the boss to already know.
Leila shook her head, "I don't know. But is there anything else I need to guess about the way you look? If you do the opposite, you're not coming in. She gestured to her face, then made a sad face.
Demi bowed her head in embarrassment: "You guessed right. The box office from our premiere from 8 o'clock to 12 o'clock last night was 4.87 million, and "The Thirteenth Warrior" was 7.35 million. "Although it was only a few hours at the box office, the first day of the film was basically a reflection of what the future would bring. In the current situation, it really can't be regarded as a good start.
Leila nodded, "It's okay, it's just the first day." ”
In fact, she was not surprised that there would be such a result. Originally, I made an action movie with the heroine, and this theme alone is not as attractive as the other party's action movies, not to mention that the other party also uses a lot of big names.
On her side, the heroine is a newcomer who has only played a few vase roles and inconspicuous supporting roles, and the most famous Roy only played a killed supporting role in the movie. Except that the director is a relatively topical her, there is really nothing enough to attract others.
But Faizze's side is different, from the cast to the script, to the director, all of them are top-level configurations created with sufficient funds. And the plot is more mainstream, if it were Laila herself, she would probably be more interested in the other party's movies.
But movies are not something that can be beaten to death with a stick, when the witch Blair was at the beginning, didn't it also have no box office at the beginning, and then after it had word of mouth, it caused a box office blowout under the word of mouth of fans?
Leila believes that as long as the film is good enough, the audience will always be willing to try a different style of film.
She didn't take it very seriously, but Fajze happily opened the champagne.
"I knew we'd win!" she was in a good mood, and was even willing to condescend to pour Faisal a glass of champagne.
"Well done! Faisal, keep spending on publicity, I want the whole world to know that this movie is coming out, and I want everyone who wants to go to the cinema to choose our movie without pausing!"
Faisal didn't touch the glass of champagne, but said with a blank face: "The propaganda plan has already begun. But I think you're probably happy a little too soon, and a lot of critics in the newspapers today have praised the movie, and I'm sure there are a lot of people willing to try it out with the press conferences of those film reviews. ”
"So what? It's just that a movie made by tens of millions of dollars, no matter how good it is, how good can it be?" Fai didn't believe that his investment several times more than the other party would have the possibility of failure. "After they finish spending their fans' box office, there's nothing left to sustain it!
Faisal agrees with this, and in his opinion women have to be more docile to be cute. It's already strange like Miss, and he can't imagine how a woman with a fist can act in those ridiculous action movies. Even the famous action movies like 007 only need the heroine to dress up beautifully and follow the male protagonist to interpret her feelings, and you don't have to do it yourself at all.
"By the way, you go and call that Cooper, and keep brushing up on bad reviews. Fai remembered the film critic who had received his favor: "It's not just him, let him mobilize his fellow film critics to write together." Write as bad as you can, isn't it just money? Give them as much as they want, and let them use bad reviews to write that woman's movie into the worst movie in history!"
"You don't have to worry about that, he's done a great job. Faisal lightly took out a newspaper and threw it in front of her, it was Cooper's New York Post.
No one would dare to use someone like Cooper, who was so clearly opposed to Leila, except for Murdoch's newspaper, and no one wanted to be a thorn in the side of the Moran Group. And Cooper, who understood this, had already broken the can, and after receiving the "pen fee" sent by Faize, he walked towards the road of Helaila without hesitation.
Today's film review published in the newspaper once again marked his position.
"Ugly gore, twisted brutality, sinful cinema" – that's the title of his article.
