210 Polarization
"It's such a stupid movie." Kayla gritted her teeth and whispered in Lance's ear. Due to the height difference, coupled with the noise of the scene at this time, Kayla had to stand on tiptoe to get close to Lance's ears.
Lance turned his head as if he hadn't heard, and cast a puzzled look, which forced Kayla to raise her voice and say again, "This movie is so/stupid!" After saying that, Kayla saw the banter between Lance's eyebrows slowly rippling like ripples, and she immediately understood that she was being played, and couldn't help grinding her teeth, and then complained hatefully, "Except for special effects, special effects, I can't see the plot at all, and the so-called main line is really hopelessly thin and stupid." The only thing worth mentioning is that the visual effects of the coming snowstorm are quite exciting. β
Kayla has no scruples at all that she is now at the premiere of "The Day After Tomorrow", and she is directly on fire.
But Lance was not angry at all, and still looked at Kayla with a smile on his face, and the gentleness of his blue eyes made Kayla a little dazed. Kayla clenched her fists and shouted again, "I mean, this movie is boring...... but as soon as she said that, Kayla noticed a flash in Lance's eye, and she immediately understoodβshe continued to be fooled for a second time in a row.
Kayla gritted her teeth and raised her hand to give Lance an elbow. But she was blocked by Lance, and then jammed tightly, so that she couldn't move at all.
Lance noticed the burning gaze that fell on him, raised his eyes and saw Jessica's stunned posture in place, those beautiful big eyes shining in the slowly brightening lights of the screening room, but at this time the light was dimming little by little, and the bitterness of struggle gently rippled in the bottom of his eyes.
Lance's expression was unfazed, and he just lowered his gaze slightly, as if Jessica wasn't worth mentioning at all, and didn't have any special feelings. Then Kayla saw that Lance bent down slightly, and the sexual/sensual curvature at the corners of her mouth gradually expanded, making the air around her gradually start to heat up. She remembered the deep voice in her ears, "Popcorn commercial movies, that's what you want, isn't it?" If you want to see shrewdness, look at depth, look at humanity. I think you're in the wrong screening room. β
One remark made Kayla completely choked. Lance is right, so that means...... Her ridicule and criticism just now are tantamount to praise for the movie? Is that the case?
Kayla looked at Lance, who turned her head calmly, and inexplicably felt that she had suffered a loss.
Jessica only felt that her heart had stopped beating. Looking at the sparkling,-for-tat tension between Lance and Kayla, there was an indescribable harmony that made people blush and heartbeat. The bitterness on the tip of her tongue made Jessica turn her head wolfishly, trying to ignore it, but the afterglow of her eyes could still clearly capture the figures of the two people, and that kind of torment made Jessica seem to have returned to the ice and snow of the "day after tomorrow" again, and she was at a loss.
In fact, the argument between Lance and Kayla is not just a discussion between the two of them. At the same time, it can also be seen as a condensation of the argument between all the audience. When the curtain came down on the premiere, Javier left the Chinese Theater with the crowd of spectators, and the excitement of the crowd could be clearly felt in the surging crowd.
A couple walking diagonally in front of them is arguing fiercely, "I don't like it, the plot is really too retarded, there is simply nothing!" The girl grumbled with disgruntled faces.
The boy next to him laughed, "When I watched the movie just now, you were even more focused than me." When you see Jack and Sam reunited, you burst into tears. Do you still say you don't like it? β
One sentence made the girl's cheeks flush and she glanced at the boy. "I just don't like it. If you look at the plot and think about it carefully, there is equal to nothing, and it is almost as weak as a primary school student. β
"If elementary school students can imagine such a wonderful disaster. And it can combine real life and fantasy stories so cleverly......" The boy was halfway through speaking, and then he saw the girl's eyes glaring angrily, and he shook his head with a crying smile, "I'm telling the truth." This is a disaster movie, what is a disaster movie watching? It's visual effects, otherwise what else would you want to see? What humanistic care, what ideological feedback. It's all dog/. β
"Who said that!" The girl raised her voice and retorted, but it was still not too prominent in the surging crowd, "'Titanic' is not!" β
The boy pursed his lips, "Why isn't the 'Titanic'?" It's a love story from beginning to end, and in my opinion, it's not as wonderful as the 'day after tomorrow'. 'The day after tomorrow' also talked about the greenhouse effect, the world pattern, and most importantly, family affection runs through the main line, which is not inferior. β
The girl was already gritting her teeth, but the boy was still talking, obviously not understanding that he was in trouble. Javier held back a smile, walked past them quickly, and continued to walk forward, the two girls beside him were also muttering and discussing, "I think the story is really average, in fact, there are many local directors who can dig and see, but all of them are pointed, which makes the story look very weak." A little disappointed. β
Javier continued to walk, and not far away, two men dancing came into view, "Did you see the hurricane that swept through Los Angeles?" God, that was truly spectacular! "And the two storms that flooded China/China and the United Kingdom, although not as spectacular as New York later, but the whole city was really shocking!" "Yes, yes, it's really beyond imagination, the special effects are so exciting! And the story is completely gripping, I could barely breathe from beginning to end......"
The two men's loud voices quickly attracted the attention of the others around them, and another young boy next to him couldn't help but say, "I think the scene where the freighter enters New York is the most spectacular, and when you slow down all the rhythms, the shock is even stronger." β
A woman about three paces away in front of her also stopped and nodded repeatedly, "That's it, I just told my partner that I think New York was frozen at the last moment is really shocking." Compared with the turbulence of the dynamics, the catastrophe in the static is more violent. I can't believe how this VFX is made! β
"Did you notice? At the beginning, the scene where China/country was smashed down by hail was too real! I bet this scene must have been filmed live, not computer special effects. One of the first two men spoke up, and it sparked another heated discussion.
In just a few seconds, seven or eight strangers gathered together to discuss the countless details of the "day after tomorrow" when suddenly a high-pitched voice said, "He said that we should burn the tax law first." After saying that, everyone around laughed, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Javier left the group behind, and a disdainful voice came from his right, "Such a boring popcorn movie is just to pass the time, and there is no depth beyond that, it's boring because they are discussing it so hotly." I think it's better to watch the 'Mean Girl' released last week. β
After all the audience left the screening room, they liked it, they hated it, they supported it, and they rejected it...... Everyone was talking about it, and regardless of the reviews, it was at least good news β a sign that the film sparked a lively discussion that was better than a stagnant pool after the film was shown.
Walking out of the Chinese Theater, Xavier saw the surging crowd on the red carpet, which was completely unexpected. Everyone believes that no one cares about the evaluation after the screening of "The Day After Tomorrow", after all, the attention of this film is still not comparable to that of "Troy". But now, the boiling crowd in front of them is obviously waiting for the first screening at midnight on the "day after tomorrow". Such a grand occasion is definitely an accident!
Suddenly a bold idea popped up with Javier: perhaps, the box office of the "day after tomorrow" would bring surprises.
"Excuse me, can I take a moment of your time and do a short interview?" A reporter greeted him and walked up to Javier, who retracted his attention, looked over, and then saw the microphone with the "Entertainment Weekly" logo. After Javier nodded in the affirmative, the other party asked, "Do you like the movie 'The Day After Tomorrow'?" β
Javier looked surprised again, and the speed of "Entertainment Weekly's" follow-up was really unexpected, and then he nodded, "Of course, I like it very much." β
After the premiere of "The Day After Tomorrow", "Entertainment Weekly" conducted a sample interview, and they interviewed a total of 123 viewers, the sample number is still relatively small, but considering the factors of the premiere, it still has a certain reference value.
In this sample survey, 64 viewers said they "liked" the movie, 49 said they "didn't like it", and the remaining 10 viewers said "okay, not bad, but there were no surprises"; There was also an interesting set of numbers, with 76 viewers saying "it's worth watching, I would recommend my friends to watch it", 25 viewers saying "I won't recommend my friends to watch it", and the remaining 21 viewers saying "If you like VFX blockbusters, it's worth watching, but don't expect too much".
On the whole, it can be seen that the audience's comments on the "acquired day" movie are very polarized, those who like it very much, those who dislike it are very repulsive, and the median point of view has almost disappeared, which is also a typical characteristic of most commercial films; However, the proportion of recommended films is very high, accounting for the vast majority, and even the neutral point of view gives enough affirmation to the visual effects, which is very different from the position of the review, which is really intriguing.
With the end of the premiere ceremony, the first batch of media comments on "The Day After Tomorrow" were also released, and at this time you could already smell the smell of gunpowder in the summer file. (To be continued.) )
