"When the film ended, the young lad who was sitting behind me said, 'It's fantastic, obviously he's happy, that's right.'" —David Demby, The New Yorker;

"George Clooney, who directed and acted himself this time, obviously did not make the mistake of "Batman and Robin", his performance made a qualitative leap under the promotion of Li Xiaole, and through powerful special effects capabilities, he showed a terrifying invincible Hulk, compared to Ang Lee's version is simply boring." – Brandon Phoebe

"The Incredible Hulk is the most sincere and fun movie in Hollywood so far this summer, George Clooney has redefined the character of Bruce Banner, and finally let people see a flesh-and-blood vivid image, not just a green monster that goes crazy every day," ———— Wesley Parker of The Boston Globe.

"It tells you how to make a summer movie, the quality of "The Incredible Hulk" is not inferior to Li Xiaole's previous "Iron Man", it is conceivable that the "Avengers" series teamed up by Black Pearl and Marvel is about to surpass the "X-Men" series of Twentieth Century Fox." —Elizabeth Wiezman, New York Daily News

The freshness of 78 film reviews is 81% and 86%; The audience liking of 65,281 users is its red and tender tomatoes, which completely ended the history of the Black Pearl movie in the first week of film critics' low reputation, and even received applause from the audience, becoming the only new film with a great word-of-mouth success this week.

"The Incredible Hulk is one of the coolest and best superhero movies of the year, and the best special effects yet, showing how a tragic hero can overcome his inner demons and easily defeat Spider-Man and Pirates of the Caribbean in the third installment of the series.

Those amazing special effects scenes were completely done by Black Pearl's Black Sails Studio, which makes people marvel at the strength of this emerging company, so that the solid script and pleasing cast, I guarantee it exceeds any of your expectations. Abidal, who scored five stars, said so.

For the praise received by "The Incredible Hulk", Li Xiaole, who was planning the affairs of "Slumdog Millionaire" in London, felt very excited, but he didn't feel anything strange in his heart, with the previous "Iron Man" as a foreshadowing, this "The Incredible Hulk" has a certain popularity base, as long as Tom Ruth can master the essence learned in "Iron Man" and maintain the level of the Avengers series, the quality of the film will naturally not be bad.

And George Clooney himself has been shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Director, and the basic skills of directing are absolutely very solid, but the basic skills are not equal to the ability on the set, and he has never controlled such a large-scale movie.

So at the beginning, Li Xiaole clearly told Tom Cruise: "You must grasp the general direction, you must be asked to let George Cruise shoot him to the rhythm of "Ocean's Eleven", remember the feeling of "Iron Man", those special effects, big scenes are all superficial, and the lonely hero is what the audience really wants." ”

It wasn't until Tom Cruise fully understood what he meant and was sure that he could control the pace of the show that "The Incredible Hulk" actually started filming.

Obviously, with Tom Cruise, the producer, this makes George Crewe's third film completely surpass his previous "Confessions of a Dangerous Thought" and "Good Night Good Luck", making "The Incredible Hulk" shine in the summer file full of strong films.

When June 1st and 7th were hurriedly a thing of the past, and the North American box office charts of the new week had results, "Ocean's Eleven" suffered a waterloo, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" did not have the expected momentum, and "Shrek 3" also began to decline, and they were all kicked in the ass by a stout green giant.

Unlike Ang Lee's version of "The Incredible Hulk", which had a box office of 71.62 million in the first week of its release in North America, "The Incredible Hulk" got a brilliant box office of 107.89 million in the first week of its release in North America, making the criticized theme of "Hulk" out of the shadow of the first version of the movie faux pas, and has the conditions to create a classic series of comic book heroes.

At the same time, in China, which was released simultaneously in the world, the results of the two versions are also very different, Ang Lee's version of "The Incredible Hulk" was released in a low-key manner in China that year, and finally only got a box office score of about 10 million, while "The Incredible Hulk" was hung with the sign of "Produced by Li Xiaole", but it shined in the domestic market, and got a box office of 150 million in the first week, easily exceeding the total domestic box office of Ang Lee's version ten times.

In North America, the total box office only has 5,190 screens, and the "Incredible Hulk" has exceeded 107.89 million in a single week, which is ultimately only 140 million lower than the 140 million "Pirates of the Caribbean" with a global box office of more than one billion in the series.

Yahoo Entertainment's ranking comment is: "The appearance of "The Incredible Hulk" made the previous "Spider-Man 3" just a small fight, and with the assistance of Li Xiaole, George Clooney exerted the maximum energy that a commercial film debut could exert, which is simply cool!" It is bound to be the strongest contender for the top spot at the box office in the coming weeks. ”

Another director with a single-week box office of over 100 million was born, George Clooney, who has only 5 years of directing experience! Although he is not from a professional background, he has rich experience as an actor, knows the work on the set well, has solid basic skills control, and can control the crazy action scene design.

Coupled with Li Xiaole's infusion of aura, and Tom Cruise's most important outstanding business ability, they made their "The Incredible Hulk" a blockbuster again.

George Clooney's great success in his directing career this time is the envy of everyone, his handsome appearance, outstanding actor experience, and excellent directing skills, he is undoubtedly a real director star, and even the media began to call him "Hollywood President".

What worries competitors even more is that Black Pearl Company has shown amazing energy for the first time in a movie without Li Xiaole's direction, sweeping away the previous "Lion into the Sheep's Mouth" and "Assassination of Hitler", and coming up with a beautiful box office report card.

This made everyone begin to think that the rise of the Black Pearl Company would be unstoppable, and the Black Pearl Trio combination of Li Xiaole + Tom Cruise + George Clooney even surpassed the power of the Jewish triumvirate of Spielberg, David Geffen, and Jeffrey Katzenberg when DreamWorks was founded.

However, although it seems that the Black Pearl Company is rising strongly, it does not mean that he will successfully subvert the traditional power of Hollywood.

How far can Black Pearl Hold? Naturally, it depends on the follow-up results of the Avengers series.

Some people are happy and some are worried, Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", "Shrek 3", Warner's "Ocean's Eleven", and even Sony's "Spider-Man 3" have all been affected by "The Incredible Hulk" to varying degrees, and the box office did not meet expectations.

On a sunny day, on the rooftop balcony of the five-star MGM Hotel in Las Vegas, the capital city, I saw the latest North American box office charts from June 6 to 7 on the laptop screen held by Warner President Jeff Robinoff, while a group of top Wall Street investors and businessmen in front of him were frowning.

"This time Black Pearl Company began to enter the market for half a year, resulting in how much less revenue we have made year-on-year?" The white old man in his seventies, with his hair already lost and speaking with a strong Virginia accent, sat in the middle, asked unhurriedly.

"Mr. Hardy...... I really didn't expect Ocean's Eleven to lose so much money this time......" explained Jeff Robinoff with a painful face, this time it was Warner who took the lead in suppressing Black Pearl with Disney, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this.

Alan Bergman, the president of Disney next to him, also complained distraughtly again: "I told you a long time ago, there is a problem with the script of that film, and Steven Soderbergh's style is also very problematic, and now the situation is that we are passive, and your bad movie has also given "The Incredible Hulk" a good reputation." ”

"Is it my responsibility alone? Other companies are not responsible~!?" Jeff Robinov couldn't help but be angry, and raised his voice to accuse:

"Why don't you look at the movie reviews of those major media outlets, don't look at the reviews of Rotten Tomatoes, where do you spend on Disney's usual media PR? "Pirates of the Caribbean" has been scolded as a pile of shit, what do you expect our literary film to do? ”

"You're putting on other people's heads, how long have you been at Warner, and asking this stupid question, are those critics completely controllable by us? This is the United States, and no amount of PR investment can only make them change part of their attitude, they are the people who call the president an idiot every day, how far do you expect us to influence them? Alan Bergman shot back angrily, fearing that the blame for the defeat would fall on him.

"Can you two be quiet?" MGM Representative Leigh Canon, who was sitting across from them, interrupted them in a cold voice.

Jeff Robinoff and Alan Bergman were stunned at the same time, and were about to scold this bastard manager who was inferior to MGM, when they suddenly saw the silver-haired, cold-faced Colk Corkrian sitting behind him, and they immediately closed their mouths.

The big boss behind MGM, the top trader who has been manipulating the century-old company to resell back and forth, Cork Corkrian, the 34th richest man on the Forbes list, and the old fox who is also a member of the board of directors of all the six major companies, such a level of capital businessmen, they can't be offended by working people with the title of "president......
