Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!

Carla Firth got up early in the morning, first sent a text message to Murphy, agreed to have lunch together at noon, and then looked around on the Internet and social networking sites to check the actual audience response of "City of Chaos", as well as the public opinion trend of the itinerary on the Internet, of course, it is also indispensable to pay attention to the word-of-mouth situation of the competitor "Thor". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Carla Firth first opened IMDB, and the just-released "Thor" and "City of Chaos" were placed on the homepage, she didn't care about "Thor", clicked on the webpage of "City of Chaos", and the first thing she saw was a high rating of 8.8 points on average from 25698 users!

Scrolling down the page, a user named Daisy's movie review was pinned to the top, and IMDB's newly added like function had nearly 10,000 likes.

"In some ways, Murphy's male protagonist Chris Dane in "City of Chaos" is a little similar to superheroes, they are both doing actions to save the city, but superheroes are more great and inhuman, they are sublime and completely detached from human nature, born to save the city and the earth, while Chris Dane is more like an ordinary person, he has neither the ability to transcend humans, nor the character of transcending humans, saving New York is completely from a private standpoint, in order to complete revenge!"

"It is this completely personal process that makes Chris Dane gradually awaken to the consciousness of heroes, but his protection is completely different from that of superheroes, superheroes bring hope, and Chris Dane brings only fear!"

"Avatar fear can overcome fear, incarnate fear can bring strength, and Murphy's film explores fear and the impact of fear in a way that has never been done in Hollywood! In this respect alone, "City of Chaos" is great, enough to engrave film history! ”

"In Hollywood films in the past, all the heroic protagonists always had a large number of admirers and supporters. But the truth is that real heroes are always lonely, not only because they are superior in ability, resulting in not many people who are qualified to stand by his side, but also because, for such ability, he has to give up a lot of things that ordinary humans have, including feelings, including the energy to cope with the world, and look at it realistically, just like Chris Dane. ”

"I have always felt that Murphy Stanton is a very realistic idealist, his idealism and innocence are not the same thing, childlike innocence because he has not experienced the polishing of reality and still maintains a natural and simple temperament, and idealistic people know how complex the world is constructed by social rules, and there is darkness behind the light, just like "City of Chaos", although society is dark and oppressive, human nature is naturally prone to deflect to the evil and selfish side, but Murphy never thought that society only has a dark sideHe gave Chris Dane hope and the courage to overcome his fears, isn't he saying that for those who have courage, society is not only dark! ”

"If you think that there is only darkness in this society, and you can only see the darkness in Murphy Stanton's films, it is because you are broken by society like steel bar, and then you compromise."

"Complex is a neutral word, because the realist idealist will see the darkness of this society, but this will not crowd out the beauty of this society that he knows, and the beauty and darkness together build the complexity of this society."

"Darkness always coexists with beauty, this is "City of Chaos", and this is also our social reality."

After reading this fan review, Carla Firth only feels that Murphy is really great, simply the most philosophical and thoughtful director in Hollywood.

It's a pity that in this world, except for Gal Gadot, there is probably no one else who knows Murphy better than her, and her best friend may have taken into account a small part of it, but it will definitely not be as interpreted by this fan.

Murphy gives the film a deeper meaning, not to discuss fear and react to social reality, but simply because it attracts fans and enhances the ...... of the film and his director

What do you mean by that? That's right, it's called style!

However, contrary to what Carla Firth thought, the tone of the fan called Daisy seems to be the reaction of many fans' thoughts, and on the second most liked comment, she sees a similar tone.

"'City of Chaos' is a true story about the choice between sunshine and darkness, and about the fear behind the hero. The real world is as complex and diverse as the society itself, rather than just shining on the good things about them, as fluorescent lights converge on the heroes. ”

"The real world is that almost no one has no fetters all their lives, and not everyone can defy their bottom line in their lives, which is your weakest place and the source of your strength. A true hero is not fearless, but fearful and courageous! ”

"Murphy Stanton uses the art of cinema to bring us a wonderful real world!"

Subsequently, Carla Firth clicked on the section of "Thor" again, and when she saw the score of 7.3, she couldn't help but smile slightly, this is still the score given by comic book fans, and then the number of passers-by who saw the film increased, and I am afraid that it will soon fall below 7 points.

The top two comments, which seem to have been posted by Marvel Comics fans themselves, seem to be a little disappointed with the film.

"The film is lower than expected, more like a biography of the Avengers. There are no highlights in the fight, the plot is even weaker, the most impressive thing is only the special effects and film settings when watching the movie to ensure that the audience can go out of the world and get an exciting and exciting viewing experience, it seems that all the personnel are focused on how to perform Tiangong, the actors' performances are simply a disaster, Chris Hemsworth will only show hand-to-hand eyeballs, Natalie Portman successfully incarnates a middle-aged woman, coupled with cliché plots and boring fights, the qualified will finish the story, without any impression, and the rest will be handed over to the Avengers...... ”

This user only gave the video a passing six points, while the second comment below gave a five.

"The plot is really unnutritious, not only can't resist scrutiny, but also complicates simple things, and the personality changes of the characters that could have been very delicate can be completed simply and rudely in one scene. The background is magnificent and huge, but it was filmed extremely small, the rhythm is too slow, the climax is also chaotic, the scenes between God and the world are too inconsistent, and the various accents are so chaotic. ”

Carla Firth turned off IMDB and opened Rotten Tomatoes to take a look, and the difference on this site was even more obvious, "Chaos City" Rotten Tomatoes has a freshness of 84% and an overall score of 8.2, and "Thor" has a freshness of 63% and an overall score of 5.7......

Later, she landed on Facebook, where the section about movies was equally lively.

While waiting for the webpage to refresh, Carla Firth briefly analyzed the current audience response of "Chaos City" and "Thor", the former has a good reputation, which is also quite good; The latter's reputation is worrisome, and it is likely that there will be a lack of box office stamina.

The Facebook page was refreshed, Carla Firth flipped through it for a while, and with little use of the internet trolls, just like IMDB, the social networking sites were still full of praise for "City of Chaos".

"Murphy Stanton's use of "City of Chaos" is a perfect illustration of how a person grows and how to make himself truly strong: overcoming inner fears, exercising himself, sticking to moral boundaries and unparalleled self-control. Chris Dane is a shadow of each of us, which is why she is so charming. ”

Compared to "City of Chaos", there are also a lot of voices discussing "Thor" on Facebook, but few people think that this is a wonderful film.

"The story of 'Thor' is pale and asymmetrical with the scenes."

"The movie isn't too interesting because the storytelling is a bit out of control."

"As a fan of comics, after watching the movie, I was still quite disappointed."

"The plot is too mentally retarded, the picture and the fights have a feeling of petty fights, and the character portrayal is too facial, which is a very ordinary movie."

After reading these, Kara Firth knows very well that maybe she can do something about word-of-mouth and pull down "Thor".

Since most Hollywood companies and North American theater companies rarely adopt an exclusive screening model, "Thor" and "City of Chaos" both have 4,000 theaters, and many of them overlap.

In this way, there will be a direct conflict between the two films on the film schedule, at present, the scheduling rate of "Thor" and "City of Chaos" are about 30 percent, if one of the films has a mediocre audience reputation and the follow-up performance is weak, it will definitely be reduced by the theater, so that the scheduling of the other film will be increased to an appropriate extent.

Twentieth Century Fox has an advantage over Walt Disney in terms of theaters, and is fully capable of winning a higher schedule than it is now.

Although the audience's choice to buy tickets is not either you or me, at the beginning of this summer file, audiences who like blockbusters, if they are affected by the word-of-mouth effect, will inevitably increase the possibility of choosing "City of Chaos".

After so many years in the management of Twentieth Century Fox, Carla Firth has long since become a veteran in this area.

After looking at the time, Carla Firth turned off her computer, walked out of her room, took the elevator to the second-floor restaurant at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, sat down at the reserved seat, and waited patiently for Murphy and Gal Gadot to come over.

Since it was still early, she asked for a glass of water and continued to think as she drank it.

Murphy will come later, and you can also ask him what he thinks about this, this guy is often average in practical skills, but can come up with a lot of constructive suggestions. (To be continued.) )
