Roger Albert, the most influential film critic in the United States and even in the world, will become the first professional film critic to leave his name on the Walk of Fame in two years.

He gives 4 stars to high-quality films, generally half a star to the worst films, and 0 stars unless he deems the film "artistic" or "morally disgusting".

With a unique set of aesthetic and analytical theories for films, he was the first to discover a large number of film talents, including great directors Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese and Oscar-winning actor Al Pacino, and Oscar-nominated actor Warren Betty.

His evaluation has even become the main indicator of the success of a film, and it is also a reference benchmark for countless fans to watch movies, and many filmmakers feel honored to receive his approval.

On the third day after the live burial screening, he commented in the Chicago Sun-Times, his main battlefield: "I hate this movie, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it."

Yes, you read that right, I hate it from the bottom of my heart, because from beginning to end I felt buried, little by little until the last moment I almost suffocated, I don't like to be buried alive. ”

Warner Bros. Distribution Manager Dan Felman smiled and put down the Chicago Sun-Times in his hand, with Roger Albert's evaluation, the box office buried alive will definitely be affected a lot.

As an insider, he knows how influential Roger Albert's film review is, and the only thing that makes him depressed is that this film review gave "Buried Alive" four stars.

The four stars represent high-quality films, and Dan Fellman thinks it was a typographical error in the Chicago Sun-Times that led to the existence of the four stars.

Chen Tian, who was in Los Angeles, looked a little depressed when he saw Roger Albert's comment, although he was mentally prepared for the evaluation of the outside world, whether it was good or bad, he could accept it.

But Roger Albert's evaluation is different from others in Chen Tian's heart, but Chen Tian quickly cleaned up his mood, and he believes that one day his movie will be able to impress the fastidious Roger Albert.

When looking down at Roger Albert's comments on other films, Chen Tian was surprised to find that after the film was actually a four-star symbol, Chen Tian and Dan Fellman thought that it was a newspaper typographical error.

Many people left messages directly on Roger Albert's blog, and some even called the Chicago Sun Times directly to inquire about the incident, and asked the newspaper to take back the newspaper and publish a statement.

On the third day after the screening of "Buried Alive", Roger Albert gave an explanation for giving himself four stars in his column: "Four stars, you read that right, this is my evaluation of the film, although I hate it, it is an excellent movie, and I am explaining to you my feelings about watching the movie."

I hate the feeling of being buried alive, and if it's fake, I don't think I would use a word like that, throw away those damn inferior thrillers and horror films, go and see it alive, and you'll see that it's a real enclosed space movie.

In addition, Justin Chan would be an excellent thriller director. ”

Roger Albert's reversal evaluation surprised many people, and those who read yesterday's review immediately picked up yesterday's newspaper to compare it, in fact, as he himself said, because it was too realistic to hate.

This caused Dan Fellman to put down the newspaper in a bit of frustration, but he was convinced that the Terminator would give him a fatal blow.

"Justin, you actually conquered that picky guy from Roger Albert?" Tom Thornberg's face was full of excitement, "Your talent has been recognized by the public, and you will become a great director in the future." ”

"Thank you. Chen Tian said with a smile, how could Chen Tian not understand the change in Tom Thornberg's attitude.

To put it bluntly, he can bring benefits to Lionsgate, and if he can't bring benefits to Lionsgate, then Tom Thornberg will definitely not be like this.

"Justin, last time I told you about the script you were about to shoot. ”

Tom Thornberg has been in a good mood lately, and when he is not so busy, he remembers that Chen Tian still has two scripts in his hand, and he doesn't want to miss these two scripts that may continue to bring benefits to Lionsgate.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm so focused on burying alive these days that I just forgot about it. ”

"Our busyness is worth it, and we are about to reap the fruits of our success. ”

"Tom, we're friends, aren't we?"

Tom Thornberg looked at Chen Tian: "Of course, of course, they are friends." ”

"Lionsgate wants to invest in my shooting, right? Or just buy the rights and give it to me to shoot?" said Chen Tian bluntly, he doesn't like to beat around the bush.

"Yes, you've told us how talented you are, and we're sure your films will continue to shine, but not every film shoot can be done like burying alive with a little money, so I think we can work together. Tom Thornberg didn't expect Chen Tian to mention it himself, and simply expressed his attitude.

"Xie Lu Xie Lionsmon's approval, if there is no Lionsgate, maybe it can't be released if it is buried alive, but our investment in the next two films is not large, so there is no need to invest for the time being.

In addition, I am not the director of the next two films, I am not only an assistant, but more precisely a producer. Chen Tian looked at Tom Thornberg and continued, "Tom, although it has not yet been officially released on a large scale, we have a very happy cooperation.

If you're willing, Lionsgate is still my first choice for collaboration, and if you don't think the next film is to your liking, then I'll look for other collaborations, what do you think?"

No investment is required, which means that you can only cooperate, and the first "Buried Alive" is divided into two parts, and it is almost no surprise that the latter two will be in this way of cooperation.

He hated the feeling of being pinned down like this, but he still showed a professional smile: "Of course it's no problem, if you have a problem, you can contact me directly, as a friend, I will definitely help." ”

"Xie Lu Xie, in fact, I have a good publicity suggestion, which may be of some help to the box office buried alive. ”

"Oh, how?"

"Put a coffin at the door of the theater, not too big, just the kind of coffin that can accommodate one person, and then let fans lie in it and feel it, preferably it can be made with sound insulation effect.

In an enclosed and extremely quiet space, people are the most fearful, and there is an experiment that you may have heard.

Put a person into an enclosed space where there is not a glimmer of light, and turn on the faucet to keep dripping. ”

"Oh, I know this, and I'm scared to death after that, isn't it? Justin, you're awesome! Tom Thornberg said with a smile.

Jon Fittimel was a little worried about the fact that the original anti-war wave, which lasted for nearly ten days and then gradually eased under the government's reassurance.

I am worried that the box office will be buried alive because of the fading of the influence of the anti-war wave, but seeing that the box office performance of "Hulk" is far less than expected, "Breaking Bad 3" is not as crazy as imagined, and "Finding Nemo", "Impostor Gods", and "Fast and Thrill 2" have all come to an end, and the mood is slightly better.

Warner Bros. distribution manager Dan Fellman is in a good mood, and in his opinion the fading influence of the anti-war wave is the end of "Buried Alive".

Warner Bros. "Terminator 3" has 3,504 theaters in North America, costing as much as $240 million.

MGM's "Legally Blonde 2" has 3,350 theaters in North America and costs $50 million.

DreamWorks' Sinbad Seven Seas Legends, 3,086 theaters in North America, cost $60 million.

Lionsgate's "Buried Alive" has 2,024 theaters in North America, and the cost is only $14,000, and the total cost of publicity does not exceed $500,000.

"July 4th, Ant and Elephant Showdown" - this is the headline of the Hollywood Reporter on the front page of July 3rd.
