Chapter 41: Pre-screening
In the area of film promotion, Chen Tian has nothing to construct, and can only be handed over to the experienced DreamWorks to operate. Katzenberg has previously led the media's rendering of the Big Three contradictions, and has hyped "The Sixth Sense", and the effect is not bad.
Now that the film is scheduled to be released in August, they have plenty of time to promote it.
During this time, Chen Tiandu has already obtained a U.S. green card and permanent residency. This green card, which is difficult to get in the eyes of others, was approved not long after he reported that he had directed a $30 million movie. The immigration office also asked him if he wanted to change his nationality, and he chose to refuse.
With a green card, it can be regarded as solving the problem of staying in the visa after the expiration of the visa.
Without worries, he simply took Kate to travel around the world.
Just go, take the dV and camera with you, take pictures all the way, and record many beautiful holy scenes.
It's a tour, but also a location for his next movie.
The first movie he downloaded "Deliverance" was given away for free, and the second movie cost nearly 9oom of traffic to download, plus the occasional loss of information. He had been saving up for five months until the following New Year's before downloading this long-awaited movie, which consumed 1.45G of traffic, which was the smallest version searched. No matter how small it is, it is not clear, which is not conducive to viewing.
As of March '98, there is still 78om traffic, which is not enough to download the sequel.
When you can't do anything, you have to go out and play. It took more than two months to play, and I didn't even go back after the release of "Saving Private Ryan".
If it weren't for Kate's movies "Disco Doomsday" and "Alice's Magic Mirror Journey" to be released one after another, they wouldn't have planned to come back.
As soon as I returned to the United States, I immediately felt the aura that belonged to "Saving Private Ryan". This summer vacation belongs to "Saving Private Ryan", which has been popular at the box office all the way, and word of mouth has skyrocketed.
"Thai" is still being released, and even ranked in the Top 12 for a second time, but the weekly box office of several million can no longer have much impact on the new force "Saving Private Ryan". On the contrary, because "Thai" drove the movie-watching boom of American audiences, "Saving Private Ryan" indirectly benefited, and the box office was better than expected.
Chen Tiandu knows very well how much potential it will have at the box office as the annual box office champion in the United States in '98.
The statement "There is no World War II after Spielberg" was once shouted by the media, which surprised the crew, "This statement seems to have been heard somewhere." ”
"Shootout scenes have always been the highlight of major action movies, exciting content, fast camera switching, explosive sound effects, bloody shots, every qiē qiē makes you watch adrenaline surge. Sam Fuller, an American director who has directed classic war films, once said: A real war movie is one that makes the audience feel that someone is shooting at you! A few years after he said this, Steven Spielberg interpreted the words of his predecessors in his characteristic artistic language. The Los Angeles Times has been praised repeatedly.
"Unlike most of my friends, I don't really like war movies. To put it bluntly, I was basically not very interested in this before. I often don't understand why, when it comes to works about war, they are always interested and gushing. This film completely changed my opinion, and it was from it that I slowly learned to dig out humanity from war films.
"The original reason I was drawn to see this film was naturally its word-of-mouth that won praise from both critics and audiences, and World War II veterans called it the most authentic and shocking film ever about World War II.
So, with the mood of looking up to the mountains, I started this special movie-watching process.
"When the film ended, my chest was filled with a thickness that I had never felt before. This is not only the fulfillment and pleasure of watching a good movie, but also mixed with thinking, shock, lingering sound, and thought-provoking. People who are accustomed to a peaceful and comfortable life have long since lost the sense of panic and crisis in times of war, and naturally they will not spend too much effort to explore the good and evil of human nature in a state of war......"
As soon as you grab it, it is praised.
It's really a rave reviews, and it's endless.
ImdB.com, a movie information site that was only funded and expanded by Amazon this year, has also doubled its influence.
The 25o Best Movies is a popular feature of ImdB, which lists the 25o best movies of all time as voted by registered users. Only films intended for theatrical play can participate in the judging, and users rate the films on a scale from "1" (lowest) to "1o" (highest). The scores are filtered by mathematical formulas to generate a final rating.
In order to protect the results from malicious voting, the number jù library uses a number jù filtering mechanism and a minimum number of votes (currently 125o votes) to obtain a "true Bayesian probability result". In addition, only the votes of "frequent voting users" are counted in the results, and in order to protect fairness, the conditions for becoming such users are confidential.
The list is also known for its breadth and sometimes surprising appearance, with a mix of old and new films, popular films, lesser-known films, and different genres of film.
There are also films on the list that are not critically acclaimed in their own right but have a wide following among dedicated fan groups (e.g., The Shawshank Redemption, Death Hallucination, etc.). The Godfather and The Shawshank Redemption have always been in the top two films, and they are the only films on the list to have a 9.o rating.
But as soon as "Saving Private Ryan" appeared, it had a rating of 8.6, which immediately made it firmly occupy a place in the top ten.
Maybe after watching the movie, many people will have "Should Ryan be saved?" Is it worth sacrificing so many people? Ryan is human, doesn't anyone else have a mother? and so on, and then caused deep thought.
"Should I save him?" This is the torture of human nature.
"If you were Captain Miller, what would you do? Would he rather sacrifice his own subordinates to save someone he never knew? Maybe not, maybe abandoning this mission. ”
Since ancient times, China has had two different views on the inherent goodness of human nature and the inherent evil of human nature, these two views have been debated for hundreds of years, but the dialogue between Miller and Ryan on the bridge deeply reflects that people cannot be separated from their nature, and he always said to Ryan that he should think more about his family, perhaps the longer the battle line is stretched, the more this method is used to find the human nature after the war.
"There is a noble quality that can be seen in Miller, which is the unrepentant choice to leave life to others and death to oneself in war."
Consistently wonderful, stable positive energy, this is Spielberg's strength.
DreamWorks succeeded, Spielberg proved himself again, and some avid fans have already shouted the coronation title of "Spielberg the Great". It seems that last year's "big ship catastrophe" is gone forever.
Chen Tiandu also succeeded, he didn't plan to watch the movie again, because he was really immersed in the preparation of the next movie. It was Ketra who went to see it. It's slightly different from the original, it's not good or bad, it's the same deep cruelty.
Kate watched it very emotionally, especially when the name of the screenwriter and assistant director at the end of the film showed the words "net/Chen Tiandu", and shook his arm excitedly. Chen Tiandu shrugged, "I prefer the latter name." ”
He didn't know why the crew wrote a Chinese name on his name, perhaps because he wanted to show that the script was written by Chinese, which would increase its international influence. Think about it, the story of a Chinese who admires American GIs so much, what a bull fork.
Chen Tian knew that this would definitely cause some narrow-minded nationalists to slander and abuse, but it didn't matter, he just wanted to come out and eat a little bit.
Due to the excellent word-of-mouth, "Saving Private Ryan", which was released in 6 theaters in the summer of May, was a big hit, and the weekly box office generated 3o570,000 yuan, and then won the championship for four consecutive weeks, lasting nearly three months of release, and the box office has accumulated to 216 million US dollars, and it is also being released around the world. It was introduced to China as an imported film, and it also hit a box office of 8.23 million.
Based on the price of prices in '98, this is definitely a very remarkable number.
So far in North America, except for the box office of "The Peerless Tribulation" released in July, which has climbed to 200 million, there is no one in the whole of North America that can compete with it.
At this point, if Chen Tiandu didn't take the opportunity to make a difference, it would be a little too sorry for the so much future information he had read. On the promotional poster of "The Sixth Sense", the words "Saving Private Ryan" have been written and directed.
Standing on the shoulders of giants is undoubtedly the most comfortable and the most worry-free, there was originally 20 million publicity costs, laying hardware publicity is enough, but it can not attract enough attention.
Unexpectedly, "The Soldier" became a big hit, and the topic of the film's screenwriter who jumped to the top because he was too young and too short in time, and also caused the contradictions of the Big Three of DreamWorks, has now been recognized.
Taking this opportunity, Chen Tiandu visited several leading actors of "Salvation" and recorded a one-sentence advertising slogan.
"The incredible story structure, the perfect story, the excellent production, this is a film not to be missed." Spielberg did not escape Chen Tiandu's oppression.
Chen Tiandu, who was dead-skinned, was caught empty and recorded a propaganda sentence. In the past, he would never do this kind of thing, but recently he has been in a good mood, Chen Tiandu is a movie screenwriter again, and "The Sixth Sense" is also a work invested by DreamWorks, so it doesn't matter if you help promote it.
Even the big guys say it's good-looking, and it's even easier to PR others.
"I recommend everyone to watch 'The Sixth Sense', it's a good movie." So says Tom Hanks.
"Not to be missed, absolutely unexpected. I can't describe how I felt the first time I watched it, but I got goosebumps. "Vin Diesel is very good, and he has the right lines to perform.
Matt Damon, Jeremy Davis and others have been forced to help with the publicity. They haven't watched "The Sixth Sense", but who calls idols and directors say it's good-looking, so let's say it's good-looking.
This kind of propaganda has been used a lot in China ten years later, and Chen Tiandu is also trying his best to expand the influence of the movie, and he will do everything he can.
Short big-name clip commercials were put on the subway, on the big screen on the street, and on TV commercials. took advantage of the shareholder trend of "The Soldier", and it really exploded, and it was able to attract the attention of many "The Soldier" fans and Spielberg fans.
Spielberg really deserves to be the king of movies this year, and his influence is not ordinary.
