Chapter 29 Below-expected performance

As the time passed, as the seats in the back gradually filled, under the reminder of the staff, the chatter became lower and lower, and when the big screen was lit up, it had disappeared. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After the opening credits of the logo Disney Company, Light Media and Zhao Liying's studio passed, the film entered the main text.

Shen Lin's first time as a director of a big production, he definitely does not have the final editing rights.

Therefore, it is impossible to foreshadow the plot according to the original version.

Although the core is still love that can transcend time and latitude, it must be weakened.

After all, the moviegoers of Lao Mei should not be a crowd that can accept 3 hours of torment!

At the beginning of the movie, the picture remains the same as before, first two old ladies are interviewed and reminiscing about the earth.

Then the screen switches to a green cornfield.

The body of the film begins.

First it was a family scene, then it was natural to go to the space agency, and then there was the theme of interstellar.

Two hours passed, and there was hardly any sound in the entire screening room, except for the occasional sobbing!

Shen Lin was a little panicked.

Whether it's good or bad, why don't you see these people talking?

Cook Dick nodded knowingly, then called the person in charge of propaganda and discussed a few words in a low voice.

"What did you tell him?"

"It's nothing, this drama should be unlikely to exceed the $150 million box office, and we're thinking about how to promote it!"

No more than 150 million?

How did this come to the conclusion?

……

Chicago Business Daily: The investment in this movie is close to 150 million, and after watching it, I think it's about the same, but the special effects are not very well done, probably because the director doesn't like CG very much!

Huasheng Post: There is nothing too big a problem with the film, it is just the slag of high-tech equipment. The loneliness in space, the feeling of emptiness is not at all. Shen Lin is still not suitable for science fiction films, he should still make feature films that he is good at;

Hollywood Film Review: The movie's depiction of the end is not realistic enough, and some of the actors' lines are inexplicably wonderful, such as the pilot specially holding a piece of paper for the actor to explain what a wormhole is, and the rhythm of the whole movie is a little dragged.

Los Angeles Film Review: Shen Lin is indeed a master of architecture in terms of story, and the control of the narrative can be called world-class, but unfortunately the action scenes, the high-tech scenes are poorly designed, think about the dormant compartment in the spaceship, the robots in the spaceship are too far behind the dormant compartment of the Avatar!

On the day of the large-scale release, most professional film critics were not particularly optimistic about the movie, believing that the popcorn index was insufficient.

But it doesn't say that the movie is a bad movie, just that the special effects are insufficient.

And most of the viewers who have watched the movie also gave an A evaluation, many people think that the special effects of the movie are not good, but compared to 2D movies, it is okay!

"Matthew's acting skills are really good, and Scarlett is a little inferior, but I also want to say, isn't the investment in this play 150 million? Why are the costumes and props still stuck in Hollywood in the 90s?"

"The visuals are impeccable, the story is a little brain-burning, and there are mainly some technical words that I don't understand, but it's still a sci-fi masterpiece worth watching!"

"Maybe it's a relatively niche relationship, the biggest feature of this film is that it highly restores the scene of space, and at the same time, the shuttle of time and space makes people feel a bit of philosophical numerology. But science fiction movies with this theme are still very attractive to me. ”

"Since "2001: A Space Odyssey" in the sixties and seventies of the last century, the film and television industry has continued to explore the world of outer space suitable for human survival with imagination. As ordinary people, we can't clearly understand the overall state of the earth and the progress of exploration in reality, but through movies, we understand the vastness of the universe and the infinite variety of survival possibilities, as long as there is hope. ”

……

Shen Lin woke up and rushed to Disney eagerly.

Cook Dick was sitting in front of the computer and reading the audience comments carefully, "Shen Lin, you are here, sit casually." ”

"How?"

Shen Lin still has the idea to sit down, what he is most concerned about now is box office statistics.

"It's not bad, yesterday's advance box office was 6.54 million, and the audience's reputation is also okay, according to relevant statistics, the final box office in North America is estimated to be between $140 million and $200 million!"

"Only 140 million"

Shen Lin frowned.

Doesn't it mean that the dream of relying on the box office to recover costs has come to naught?

"140 million is already very good, after all, it's your first big production!"

Cook Dick pointed to one of the film reviews: "The things involved in "Interstellar" are actually relatively niche, and with the originality of the movie, this movie will definitely not be as good at the box office as Marvel's big movies." But there should really be more movies like this, after all, there are not many filmmakers in Hollywood who have such novelties!"

"What about the periphery?"

The real box office statistics have to look at tomorrow, and the surrounding project is the focus!

"The merchandise sells very well!" Cook opened another webpage on his computer a little excitedly, "Look, especially the CASE and KIPP in it, these two iron strips actually sold for $2 million in merchandise!"

Is $2 million a lot?

"Do you know The Matrix?"

Seeing Shen Lin, he didn't seem to understand a little, and Cook asked about a very famous movie.

"Of course you know, what's wrong?"

"The Matrix's first-day merchandise was only $1.2 million, but it ended up earning a whopping $1.2 billion!"

I'm going, the surrounding area is so profitable!

"Is it possible for "Interstellar" to recoup its costs by relying on the periphery?"

If Disney really loses money, it is estimated that Shen Lin's trip to Hollywood will have to be completely goodbye!

"Of course you can, Shen Lin, let me remind you, as a Hollywood director, you must look at the world! Even if North America can't recover the cost, we have a vast overseas market! Yesterday's box office for the premiere in China has come out, guess how much?"

"China?"

Shen Lin thought about it and shook his head honestly.

Where to go for "Interstellar" to premiere in more than 80 countries at the same time!

"Close to $13 million!"

I'm going! so high?

13 million, that's more than 70 million yuan!

"You've made it!"

That's right, although the North American box office and word-of-mouth are a bit less than expected, "Interstellar" has indeed caused a crazy hit around the world!

Especially in China, it set a record for the premiere of a 2D movie!

South Korea and Japan are not bad, and they are definitely big sellers!

"But I read these newspapers, and their reviews are not very good!"

Shen Lin was a little confused, according to the scores given by professional film reviews, movies like "Interstellar" are a bit outdated and should not appear in theaters in the new century.

However, as a veteran Hollywood filmmaker, Cook Dick's conclusion is diametrically opposed.

Why is that?

"Film reviews are the same everywhere, how alarmist they are, don't care about them!"
