Chapter 69: Facing the Siege
The exposure of the box office in the first week put Caesar and Bruce Willis on the cusp of the storm.
Many producers and directors are not convinced, believing that this box office is caused by relying on Caesar's influence. If it weren't for the fact that most of the audience were Caesar fans, there would be no such achievement.
However, the results of the MGM and Fox survey made these people finally shut their mouths of disbelief.
The sampling survey of 37 large theaters across the country, after the end of the show, each audience has a prize to fill in the form, to ensure a sufficient sampling base.
Caesar fans accounted for 77.1% of the audience, with an average rating of S.
The rest are non-Caesar fans with an average rating of A+.
79% of the total number of people want to watch it repeatedly.
This questionnaire may not be particularly accurate, but it still reflects the popularity of "Lee's Gun Gun Aesthetics".
Yes, Caesar's "guns-aesthetics" in front of Western media interviews was automatically translated into "Guns-Aesthetics" when faced with reporters from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the new Chinese-speaking world.
Gun aesthetics, right...... It's too exaggerated, where did the protagonist get the cannon?
Gun Aesthetics Bar...... Sounds too ordinary, too formal.
Caesar thought that the word "gun" was used very well, and the ancestors of China invented the gun very early. It used to be synonymous with the Chinese word for guns for hundreds of years.
This statement was soon dubbed Lee's title by these Chinese-language media, and since then, "Lee's Aesthetics of Guns" has become famous in Chinese-speaking cultural circles.
Caesar has tried his best to avoid Wu Baige's style, he only focuses on light and shadow and slow motion, unlike Wu Baige's church, white pigeon, candles, and mustaches, none of which are missing.
Caesar had an almost obsessive fondness for unique black-and-white images and silhouettes, such as Schindler's List black-and-white images with little girls in red, black-and-white images of Goldie, such as the black-and-white Goldie in Vice City, and the fight in the moonlight silhouette in the game Flasher.
A lot of Caesar's inspiration comes from works he has seen or played, with unique light and shadow.
In fact, film is the art of light and shadow, but these works in Caesar's mind are very unique.
Including the PS4 exclusive "Until Dawn" in Caesar's memory, the video of the heroine Samantha watching on her mobile phone on the bus, and the scene where Joshua invites several others to return to the snowy mountain villa, Joshua spends most of the time hiding the left half of his face in the shadows.
It was the director's second portrayal of Joshua using light and shadow, and the whole person looked like a demon.
In fact, it was with this hint of light and shadow that Caesar had already concluded that Joshua had a conspiracy when he played this paragraph.
Because Caesar is relieved, no director will put this kind of schizophrenic, half bright and half dark light on the face of a positive character who is bright and distracted at heart.
Marlon Brando in "The Godfather" has this half-and-half-light on his face when he learns that his son has been killed and decides to take revenge.
Caesar's use of light, which is more exaggerated and closer to the anime effect in the film, combined with cool slow motion, finally won the hearts of the audience.
"Yes, I'm a Caesar fan, a huge fan! I'm not only a Playbox player, but also a Caesar fan and a fan of comics, and now a movie fan...... Of course, of course I did!
No, no, no, Mr. Reporter, you have to remember! I'm never going to praise a bad movie just because I'm a fan of Caesar, Caesar is a movie that completely exceeds my expectations, you know?
The lines, light and shadow, slow motion, and even the Hunter Academy and the main character's name in the film are so cool! It's cool to the limit! Max Payne? Extreme pain! Can you believe this kind of creativity?
The only thing I'm struggling with now is whether Caesar will lose his creative power, or stop moving. What if you can't make such a cool film in the future? What if I never see such a cool movie again? ”
This is a young girl interviewed on the street on FOX TV, and her speech was very representative of the audience who watched "Max Payne".
Even talking about substituting himself into the future of his own compilation, he began to panic, as if he really couldn't see a cooler movie anymore.
This scene amused many viewers in front of the TV. But no one stood up and accused it of faking or showing.
This kind of true feelings, this kind of tension, if it is a performance, the audience can only think that the next Oscar actress was born in advance.
Ten days after its release, there was even more exciting news, Stallone announced the postponement of the production plan for "Rambo 2", and cordially invited Caesar and Thompson to serve as artistic and military advisors.
After communicating with Stallone on the phone, Caesar agreed.
Rambo 2 was postponed until April 1985, just in time for Caesar to finish this year's VGL concert.
VGL has been set by Caesar as an annual feast for players and music fans, adjusting the time according to Caesar and the schedules of various bands, in short, trying to hold it in the summer to take care of the student party's schedule.
Yamauchiura sent people to spend money in the United States to hire a bunch of tabloid black Caesar, but it didn't make any impact, and if you want to hack FFF or black playbox, you don't even have a place to talk.
Caesar knew what was most important to him, and he had never given full control to FFF Games, and Ray Caesar, who had been poached from Atari, was both successful and loyal in sales.
The whole game company makes Caesar run like an iron pass.
Caesar's FFF in the game industry is a well-deserved boss, not only the world's largest annual game sales, but also the game rating system and rating review committee were also formulated and established by Caesar.
With such an identity and status, how difficult it is for Nintendo to squeeze into the circle and get a piece of the pie, Yamauchiura has a scale in his heart. This is also the reason why he is in a hurry to get angry and wants to take the wrong path to black Caesar.
The employers of the two articles in "USA Today" are much more complicated, and several companies related to the chip and PC industries in the United States are likely to be involved in this black hand, and even Apple is on Caesar's blacklist.
Because the technology that came out of Caesar is too obvious, others are still in the initial stage of research, and Caesar has already entered mass production.
With the database from his previous life in his hand, Kaiser pressed the other party to release his mass production two to three years after the time of registering the patent, and registered the patent at the same time.
For some projects that require long-term research and experimentation, such as chip miniaturization and memory compression, in these projects, Caesar's action will make the other party spend hundreds of millions of dollars.
This kind of hatred is not something that people in the industry can't feel at all.
A joint action by the chip semiconductor industry is about to revolve around Caesar's FFF company.
Because they find that any news about new hardware from FFF will have a critical effect on one of them.
[The time that has been finally smoothed out in the past two days is about to start being a demon again......]
