(Recommend a copy of The Big Bang Theory!) ）

"Chen, can you talk about the end of this movie, do you want to express a kind of struggle for the survival of the race, or do you want to express some realist ideas?" At the press conference after the premiere, perhaps the story shown in the film is really fresh and exciting, and those reporters who run entertainment rarely focus on the film itself.

Chen Tiandu also moderately made some technical answers, "You think highly of me, this is a pure entertainment film." I wanted to shoot a good look, and I wanted a story that was simple and cool and exciting. If there is really anything to express, it is also the audience who wants to buy a ticket to enter the venue, and will not feel that they have bought a ticket for nothing because two hours later. This is the greatest practical significance. ”

There was a chuckle at the scene, they really enjoyed it for more than two hours.

"Very good, an entertainment show that doesn't get sleepy."

"It's not scary at all, it's beautiful. It's just that the ending is actually on the road alone again, which I didn't expect at all. ”

yes, not necessarily all movies need to dig into any bullshit meaning.

No one would be harsh enough to let Van Helsing fight for the Oscars.

The dazzling scenes, the endless world of monsters, and the wonderful fight scenes all make the mind drift away from reality, and I understand that this slightly fantastical medieval world actually has countless other ♀ worlds woven with fantasy, and it is also a kind of enjoyment to no longer regard reality as the only existence.

After the press conference, various evaluations of the movie from the outside world were also freshly released.

is indeed fresh enough news, because "Van Helsing" was kept secret well enough until it was released. People don't yet know what it's about.

Overall. There are three kinds of comment atmospheres.

Entertainment-oriented people think that he has played a role in entertaining the public. So it's a good piece; History-oriented people think that it is a hodgepodge of third-rate techniques, patchwork, and a big failure compared to previous vampire films, then it is a fragment; In addition to lamenting that Chen Tiandu's films have not innovated in recent years, he has also begun to silently remember the glory of Hollywood, so it is still a broken film.

"Look, it's actually quite simple, it's just a matter of standards. ”

The fan reviews on the Internet are much more uniform. A Chinese netizen named "Dong Dong Midwinter" commented: I forgot to chew my popcorn during the film screening, and I forgot to patronize the prepared cold drinks, and even my favorite Häagen-Dazs was left aside, except for "The Lord of the Rings", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "The Matrix", this is the first movie that can make me so engrossed. So what can you let me say, all I can say is, well, I really like it, even though it's just a popcorn movie. ”

A fan named "Angel Audrey" also wrote: "The biggest impression is the beautiful movie picture. It feels like every frame can be used as a poster. It's only October, and I'm so eager to see the first snow fall this year. Horseback riding in the snow. The lonely traveler is on his way again...... It's so poetic, Hugh is so handsome...... It's a pity that it lacks a bit of melancholy and decadent temperament. Ha, maybe I'm asking too much. ”

In recent years, there are actually a lot of people who watch movies just for entertainment, but everyone seems to be dying to save face and suffer crimes, and they refuse to admit their "vulgarity" when they are killed.

As an imported film, this film was also released simultaneously in China. Originally, the matrix wanted to postpone the release by two months and give it a try in the Chinese New Year. But China Film has advanced it, even if it is Chen Tiandu, it can't change the essence of imported films, and it really can't fight domestic films. Domestic films are in the Chinese New Year file, but two blockbusters have been arranged to be released on loans, and we must always consider the feelings of domestic directors.

It doesn't matter in October, as Kate's first blockbuster released after becoming a Chinese daughter-in-law, it is still directed by Chen Tiandu, and fans have to cheer on it no matter what they say.

After the release, there was a flood of reviews on the Internet.

A fan named "Joint Code", so admitted that he was an "underground party", and said: "On the surface, I never watch Hollywood entertainment blockbusters, so much is not nutritious, let's watch European boring movies if we want to watch them, the more boring the better, the more boring and deeper." As everyone knows, every late at night, they take out the long-hidden "Return of the Mummy" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" to look at it, and are dizzy and stunned when they see it, and then carefully hide it, pretending that nothing has happened. It's like an underground party activity, in fact, entertainment is the main direction, so why be sneaky and sneaky, I don't want to suffer this foreign crime anymore, so, I admit, I confess, in fact, I am an 'underground party'. ”

"Lively, tense, exciting, and tight...... Typical Hollywood style, Tiandu God is now more and more comfortable. It is recommended that the whole family take their children to the cinema for Halloween weekend. ”

Was Van Helsing a success?

Kate Beckinsale also watched this movie for the first time, and she became pregnant after the film, and then her mind was never on this movie. It wasn't until recently that I went to publicize it, and I did my routine work. Now her focus is on family and children, and she has passed the age of appreciating cool and handsome, but Kate still thinks this film is extremely exciting, and she knows that her appreciation of beauty is more popular, so she calculates it......

"Honey, the movie should be a success, right?"

Chen Tiandu shrugged, "What do you mean by should, didn't you hear the applause." Even if the score is not high, the box office should not be low. ”

Kate looked at him with a confident expression, and then she was helpless, and nodded his head and said, "Don't you have to worry about it, arrogant." After the propaganda is over, I will go to China, what about you. ”

Chen Tian knew that she wanted to have children, and pondered about her work, as if there was no job at the end of the year, "Let's go together, this year's end is the most leisurely." ”

The rating on IMDB is 72 points, which is not high. The audience love rate on Rotten Tomatoes is 70%, but it represents the preferences of the vast majority of the audience.

As the night began, die-hard fans began to lose sleep. The next weekend, nearly 4,000 theaters in North America began to come alive. According to the sample survey, the proportion of viewers who watch "Van Helsing" accounts for more than 50%, and there are still many horror lovers who choose new films such as "The Grudge" and "Torment Christmas". The only old film that has an advantage is the cartoon "Shark Legend", which has been in the championship for 3 weeks

Say.

The news. It's time for the matrix creators to spend a peaceful weekend.

Not only a box office hit. Peripheral products are also selling very well. Compared to the box office visible data. As far as film companies are concerned, if the peripheral products are hot, it is definitely a more exciting thing than the box office of the movie. However, many new monsters were suddenly contributed to this movie, such as dwarves, scarecrows, bell tower trolls, and so on.

And according to the previous DVD sales of vampire-themed and magic-themed movies, if the Blu-ray disc of "Van Helsing" is released, it should also have good sales.

Everything is moving in a good direction, but the matrix is not sleeping on the merit book.

is still the same sentence: "If a film with quality assurance wants to be a big hit, it must also have publicity that complements it." In order to achieve or even exceed the expected effect, the publicity must be targeted, in the simplest terms, it is necessary to understand the main audience groups that the film is facing, and come up with a publicity strategy that can influence them. ”

Therefore, in the early stage of a film's release, various survey feedback and adjusted publicity strategies will not be interrupted in the first two weeks of the film's release.

On the one hand, the network water army continues to build momentum, and on the other hand, it cooperates with hardware propaganda. Creating layers of topics to attract audiences to buy movie tickets for "Van Helsing", traditional media is a strategic focus. After all, this also involves a large enough audience to pay attention to.

New York Post: "It's not so much 'Van Helsing' scary as it's fun and exciting. The movie picture is excellent enough, and the fine art photography is first-class, which makes people feel comfortable looking at oil paintings. ”

The Chicago Sun-Times replied this time, "It's a stupid entertainment show, a patchwork of monsters that can only be considered funny and spectacular." ”

"Horror Online" also commented on "Van Helsing", saying: "A feast for demons with good actors and fresh elements presented in old stories." It will be one of the biggest favorites for next year's Saturn Prize. ”

Finally waited until October 24, and the box office data for the last weekend before Halloween in North America was released.

This is also the first weekend of "Van Helsing", and in the early morning of the next day, the box office of the week was also reported back for the first time.

It was not too unexpected for the audience, in the words of The Hollywood Reporter: "This is just another small performance of Chen Tiandu's continuation of the successful model." ”

"Van Helsing" undoubtedly dominated the North American box office charts this week, with $74.56 million in three days over the weekend.

In second place is "The Grudge" at $32.3 million, which is also impressive, as it was released in more than 2,700 theaters. Compared to the nearly 4,000 theaters of "Van Helsing," the remake of "The Grudge" achieved this result, which was 15 times higher than its distributor's estimate at the time.

"If we make 20 million this week, we're all going to be ecstatic," Rory, the owner of Sony, the domestic distributor of "The Grudge," said Rory, the owner of Sony, the domestic distributor of "The Grudge," when he heard that the film had grossed $32.3 million.

It does have ecstatic capital, because the cost of the entire shooting is less than 10 million US dollars, and judging from the current box office results, it is still largely excluded by "Van Helsing", but its "money path" is still very bright.

With the leader of "Van Helsing" and the break-in of "The Grudge," DreamWorks' animated film "The Legend of the Shark" slipped to No. 3 on the charts this week, grossing $14.3 million this week, bringing its total three-week box office to $136.9 million.

However, another new DreamWorks film, "A Tormented Christmas," was released this week and did not get the results it expected. The comedy, starring Ben Affleck and Chrissy Tina, came in seventh at the box office this week with four and a half million grosses. Jim Tharp, DreamWorks' head of distribution, said the company had hoped that the film would make $7 million at the time of its debut, but it was undoubtedly less than expected.

But this is Hollywood, some people are happy and there are always people who are disappointed.

Coming to the global box office charts for a week, "Van Helsing" was released in 32 countries and regions around the world at the same time, and also achieved a box office of $52.3 million in the international market. Released in three days, the global box office accumulated to 52307456 = 126.86 million US dollars, and it also dominated the global weekly box office list.

Such a strong box office performance is also further consolidating Chen Tiandu's mythical box office journey, and no one can guess when his next movie with a box office of less than 100 million will appear.

"Even Van Helsing can be a big hit, and our "Batman: The Dark Knight" should also make a big difference." Warner was looking forward to it.

Marvel is also actively preparing for the war, this year's matrix is in Marvel, it is only a small year, and the focus is still in the coming year. What they're looking forward to is Iron Man!

Next week, Halloween is officially here.

Pumpkins are in short supply for a while, and there are a few hollowed-out pumpkin heads at the door of every house. On a dark night, red lights will light up inside, and you will feel full of atmosphere when you pass by.

The matrix also seized the opportunity to give away movie headgear on a large scale, taking advantage of the festival to make the last wave of vigorous publicity for the movie. (To be continued.) )
