Inside the USC Film School, students walked into a studio-style class, and Ex came to an empty seat with a shoulder bag, sat down and took out a pen and notebook, ready to review the content of the previous class, but the chatter around him made him feel uneasy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

These people seem to be discussing a film?

Unable to review with peace of mind, Ex simply closed his notebook, this is the USC Film School, and the movies that can be discussed publicly are definitely not mediocre.

"A friend of mine knows Paul Wilson." The person who spoke was a girl, "she got a couple of tickets to the premiere, and I went to see the premiere." God, this is incredible, and this new film by Murphy Stanton is incredible. ”

Another boy nodded, "Well, I haven't seen such a wonderful feature film in recent years, it's not a trick, your first reaction after watching it is to want to laugh, but after laughing, you will feel a chill down your spine." ”

Next to the boy, a Latino, he exclaimed, "Among the young generation of directors in Hollywood, Murphy Stanton is definitely the best!" ”

"You're not right!" The first woman to speak first retorted, then gave a thumbs up, "He is a well-deserved leader among the younger generation of directors!" ”

Where there are supporters, there is often no shortage of opponents, and a white young man snorted disdainfully twice and said, "You are blowing too much, he is just a director who only knows how to play a little clever." ”

The others glared angrily, and the white young man said disdainfully, "Let's just say that how many basic mistakes have been made in this "Gone Lover" that you are touting?" ”

"The most basic mistake?" The second boy who spoke was not convinced, "Why didn't we see it." ”

The white youth pointed to his eyes, "Because you don't have the torch-like gaze of mine." ”

Seeing that everyone else was not convinced, he sneered, "Then tell you about it, first ......"

He raised his right index finger, "Why didn't the male owner immediately find the police for help when he found the gifts in the cabin, and waited until the police came to investigate, he had to say that those gifts could be destroyed during this time!" ”

Another finger stood up, "Secondly, the heroine's money was stolen, and she had no choice but to find her ex-boyfriend for help, in order to return to her husband and kill her ex-boyfriend to fabricate false facts, if the money was not stolen, she would not find her ex-boyfriend, so how could she return to her husband, judging from the plot, the heroine just wants to control her current husband, and the part of finding her ex-boyfriend seems to be accidental but can feel that the heroine has been designed from the beginning. ”

Finally, he raised his ring finger, "Third, how could the public believe her tricks so easily?" Does the director really take everyone for fools?

Hearing the most basic mistake of the white youth, and without waiting for the others to speak, Ackes stood up.

He had also seen the film, and although it was not as flamboyant as those who had praised it before, he also thought it was a masterpiece, and the white youth was so ignorant of what he said also aroused his resentment.

"These so-called mistakes of yours are not valid at all!" Ex replied with the same cold snort and began to retort one by one, "One is the gift, when Nick found the gift, they were already concerned by the media, and there were basically reporters near their home, not to mention dealing with these things at this time, even if they just moved out, it is estimated that they will be discovered by the media immediately." ”

"Second, finding an ex-boyfriend was not in the plan, because he was robbed because of an accident. Returning to her husband is also not in the plan, the plan is to commit suicide to frame Nick, so finding her ex-boyfriend and deciding to go back after seeing her husband's hints to her in front of the TV are all plans that she has changed temporarily. ”

"Third, it's about the trial of public opinion, the basic group is a group of rabble, they are only willing to believe what they believe, then under the pressure of the trial of public opinion, plus a little bureaucratic habits, and strive to close the case as soon as possible, to avoid causing a greater negative impact on society, those less obvious loopholes, are basically ignored, and Murphy is obviously using this to satirize the media."

As if telling the most basic facts, Ex's tone was unusually calm, "In the end, Amy actually wanted her husband to die at first, so she was ready to commit suicide and frame him, but then I watched Nick's performance on TV, and I found out that this is still the Nick I love, so I wanted to go back, but at this time, it was not so easy for her to leave, but in order to go back, she was able to kill someone......"

He shook his head, "This is really true love." ”

"Well said!" Several others chimed in, "Ex, you're so right! ”

Looking at the white youth, Ex sneered and said, "Don't use your superficiality and ignorance to judge a director with a unique style like Murphy. ”

The people around looked at the white youth with obvious mockery.

Murphy Stanton, although not a director from the academy, is the object of their admiration.

"I don't know when the academy will invite him to give a speech."

Someone muttered, but received a response.

Excellent publicity and marketing, explosive media audience word-of-mouth, hot topics that spread very quickly, and the first choice movie for couples to date......

These are all favorable factors for "Gone Girl", and they are also constantly driving the attendance of the film.

According to the current practice, counting the box office of a film on the first day will include the box office of the advance screening, and the more than 6 million US dollars in the early screening, "Gone Girl" actually got more than 12 million US dollars in one day on Friday.

With a film with a theme and rating like this, it is impossible to have a big hit on the first day, and Murphy knows very well that what really determines the final result of "Gone Girl" is the strong stamina.

In fact, Murphy and Twentieth Century Fox are still a little worried, "Gone Girl" created a lot of topics in the early publicity, and many passers-by were attracted to the theater by the topic on the first day, which led to such an excellent single-day box office result, but after a day's time, the topics created by relying on publicity and marketing must have been consumed a lot, and in the second day of the following, it was the real test of "Gone Girl".

Just like the topic of the magical Amy, which was hyped before the release, the word-of-mouth popularity of "Gone Girl" after its release has increased unabated compared with the beginning, especially the topics such as "the first choice movie for couples dating", "films that destroy marriages", and "if you want to test your lover, go see "Gone Girl", which have been thrown out by Twentieth Century Fox, all of which have ensured that the film continues to attract attention.

With Sunday on the way, Murphy also got Saturday's box office stats.

In the course of one day on Saturday, "Gone Girl" was higher than on Friday, closing at $19.2 million.

Compared with the more than $12 million actually received on Friday, the film skyrocketed by 50 percent on Saturday.

This almost indicates that "Gone Girl" will have a strong reputation.

In order for the film to make a strong box office, Twentieth Century Fox used all the conventional publicity methods at its disposal, even Roger Albert, who had just undergone surgery and was recovering, invited out.

No one can deny the influence of the name Roger Albert among movie fans.

Of course, Roger Albert didn't promise Twentieth Century Fox anything, and at his point, he wouldn't be impressed by the average petty profits, and his agent's reply to Twentieth Century Fox was very simple, everything would wait until the movie was watched.

Roger Albert couldn't go to the theater by himself because of his physical condition, so Twentieth Century Fox sent a copy to his mansion in the suburbs of Chicago.

Twentieth Century Fox Ken did this mainly because Murphy had enough confidence in the film, and Roger Albert has always admired Murphy's production style.

The personal doctor and agent accompanied Roger Albert to watch "Gone Girl" in the private theater of the mansion.

The famous film critic then locked himself in his study, and it wasn't until hours had passed that his agent got a review and hurried away to the Chicago Sun's editorial office.

The review wouldn't be published until the next day, but it appeared on the Chicago Sun's official website and Roger Albert's personal blog that afternoon.

"This is Murphy Stanton's best and most iconic film to date, cold, mysterious, precise, super integrated with story and rhythm, this is Murphy Stanton!"

"For a movie, it is not easy to vividly present the bland, happy, morbid, and crazy multifaceted nature of married life in a limited time, and profoundly reveal the truth of marriage, Murphy Stanton did it incredibly in "Gone Girl", I have to say that this is a perfect creation! Of course, this is not just a marriage story, it is fundamentally a suspense and mystery film. ”

"Murphy Stanton not only uses images to show a series of twists and turns, wonderful and meticulous plots, but also subtly provokes the primitive desires in everyone's hearts and goes to the darkest corners of human nature, creating a magical, eye-catching and interesting movie. It's not an exaggeration to say 'Murphy Stanton is the kind of director who can make a 50-point story into a 100-point or even a 120-point movie'! ”

"Few people can give the audience a real movie and a complex, conflicting ending like Morpheus Stanton. "Gone Girl" is simple and concise, the camera is powerful but not straightforward, and the face is half-covered with a pipa in his arms, and something is not revealed until the last moment. ”

"Whether you are disappointed or cheerful, excited or disgusted, Murphy Stanton's film is quite deep and meaningful compared to other films, and it is a very purposeful and far-reaching film. Whether it's dramatic conflict, social metaphor, or cultural level, Gone Girl is an outstanding and fascinating work! ”

Finally, a signature thumbs up!

As mentioned before, Roger Albert's influence, especially for older fans, is undoubted, and his film reviews can also pull many people into theaters.

All of this has brought an extremely positive effect to the film, and the most direct reaction is the box office figures. (To be continued.) )
