Chapter 363: 3D and Jenny's Divine Concealment

"You'll forget about me." The Mad Hatter said to Alice, "Goodbye, Alice, goodbye. ”

He took a step back, lifted his hat at her comically, and with a dramatic touch of his heel, took a few steps back, and watched with some sadness as Alice shook her head towards the exit, and there was a sigh in the cinema - although Alice kept shaking her head, everyone knew that when she got out of the rabbit hole, she would gradually forget about the Mad Hatter, like a dream, and the memories of Wonderland did not last in real life. Alice will one day take responsibility and grow up completely, and she will forget about the Mad Hatter.

And what about the Mad Hatter, what will happen to him? Continue to live in Wonderland, never grow old and never die, never forget Alice, and wait forever? It's a cruel answer, but it seems to be the case, Wonderland may just be Alice's dream, and how can the characters in the dream die?

Seeing Alice walk through the fantastic passage and climb out of the tree hole again, Jon couldn't help but wipe the corners of her damp eyes, but at the same time, she also heard the children around her ask in confusion, "Why did you forget him?" Mom? ”

"Because Alice has a bad memory." I don't know if she was perfunctory to the child, or if she didn't understand it, her mother's answer made Jon roll her eyes playfully for a while, but she also withdrew from her sad mood, and unexpectedly watched Alice return to the real world and go to reject her engagement - this is obviously a story of Alice's self-growth, and it would be fun if she didn't refuse the engagement at the end.

"At the end, I actually went to China, is this a ridicule of J.J?" The ending made her smile knowingly, but soon realized that this was her own heart, "J.J didn't hang the film, and he didn't play the red and white queen as rumored, well, of course this is something that has been known for a long time, it seems that she is making a cameo in this play - this is actually a good thing, her white queen is not as ethereal and boring as the trailer, repeating herself, in fact, it is quite interesting - but if you play two roles, it will be like "The Fifth Sally", and it is a bit of a repetition of herself...... Now, the success or failure of this movie has nothing to do with her, and that's not bad. ”

Although in the end it was Johnny. Depp was moved to tears, but Jon didn't think the movie would be a big hit - when it comes to the storyline, there are basically not too many surprises and ups and downs, just a repetition of the original book, and the 3D effect is not as realistic as "Avatar", the whole visual effect can't be compared with Pandora Star at all, in general, if it weren't for the Mad Hatter and Alice's 'You forgot me' line, her emotions wouldn't even have any impact, and compared with the experience of watching "Avatar", of course, it is not the same.

When the ship sailed into the distance and disappeared into the fog, the lights came on, but Jon, Harry, and Zad didn't get up to leave, and still habitually stayed to read the subtitles and wait for the easter eggs. ――Except for Charles, who was working overtime for TikTok at the company, all the moviegoers came to see the premiere.

"How does it feel?" Harry asked, and he snorted and said what he thought. "Disney restrained Tim too hard, and it was clear that they wanted the effect of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but the feeling of the film was just -- something wrong."

Tim. Burton and Johnny. The films produced by Depp's partners often break out box office miracles, such as "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is a word-of-mouth box office win, but this time "Alice in Wonderland" looks a bit of a miss, and Jon also nodded, "Johnny repeats himself too much - every time it's such a heavy makeup, exaggerated performance...... This movie can't be said to be elegant and vulgar, but it's a bit high and low, it's too profound for children, and it's a little painless for adults-"

"Yes."

"Yes." Harry and Zad both nodded, and Zade said, "If it were done more obviously, to make the White Queen's evil a little more obvious, and to make it all a wrestle between two bad women, Alice would end up supporting the less evil side - or even not at all, but let Alice finally tell the Mad Hatter, 'I won't forget you,' and that's fine, it feels like you can clearly see Disney and Tim's game, and in the process, all of Tim's evil is stopped by Disney, 'stop, You can't shoot like that,' and then at the end, Disney says, 'Tim, you can set yourself free,' and OK, Tim just gave such a sad ending that the kids couldn't even be happy. ”

"But Jane's performance is still quite interesting - that feeling of selfishness, indifference and pretentiousness, which is well played, but there are fewer scenes." Jon thought about it for a moment and laughed, "I guess she shouldn't be criticized for her performance this time, right?" This time, she should be the highlight of the failed movie-"

"God knows how the media will react, they can find a lot of points to attack J.J after the Oscars." Zade said angrily, "This time they might blame her for the failure of the film!" ”

--Seeing Zad's angry face, Jon couldn't help but shrink back in secretly: Of course, everyone is a fan, and she will be angry at Jenny being attacked, but ...... Zade's reaction always makes her feel as if she is not committed enough to love, and at times, this excitement can even make her a little scared.

"If Avatar wins the Oscar, they will definitely say that J.J. is manipulating, shady or something, and there is always a reason to attack." She tried to say objectively, "As long as J.J himself is not affected - July is "Codename Shero", even if there is negative coverage, it is unlikely to be affected for too long." ”

"yes, it's "Codename Shero" in July." Zadeh touched his chin and put on a wistful expression, "I don't know where J.J. is now, has she returned to Los Angeles - if I can return to Los Angeles by July, maybe I will be able to meet her at the premiere." ”

"Speaking of which, what do you do?" Jon asked curiously, "It seems convenient to take a leave of absence—"

#

"The IMDB score has dropped to 7.6."

"The midnight box office was six million – estimated to be around 35 million on the first day."

"The half-day statistics of the East Coast cities have come out, and so far the three large ticket warehouses have returned 8 million."

"You may be able to get 40 million ...... on the first day"

"But it depends on tomorrow's decline."

For fans, the quality of the movie and the box office, after all, is just a number to talk about casually, like this Jennifer can almost only be regarded as a cameo movie, in the case that Disney did not follow Weinstein's example and carry out consumable publicity, so that Jennifer was mistaken for the starring role, they will not even pay much attention to the box office, but for some data otaku, as well as data analysis agencies - of course, and most importantly, for film companies, the audience's word-of-mouth is closely related to the subsequent box office trend, and the low reputation of "Alice", Although it was also expected by Disney, they still didn't dare to have too much hope for the follow-up box office trend, and could only hope for the movie's DVD sales and peripheral back-and-forth - after all, the problems of the movie were well known after watching the pilot version, Tim. Burton and Disney do have some compatibility.

For Disney, they have to maintain their brand image: a well-known fairy tale theme like Alice, which is produced by Disney, must have a large number of small audiences, and if Tim is too adult and too biased, the damage to brand value cannot be measured by the box office of a movie. And for Tim, he can only be ravaged and ravaged without the right to final cuts, but Disney can't be forced to completely overturn the whole movie and remake it beyond recognition, and under the mutual compromise between the two sides, "Alice" has become such a gentle movie, suitable for all ages, with a somewhat sad and disappointing ending, and it also brings a charm that belongs to Tim - it is barely a peripheral promotional film, as well as a commercial film for the corresponding attractions in Disneyland.

"Wouldn't it have been better if Big Dream had been involved in the production at that time?"

"This should be asked of Dick - Big Dream didn't get involved because of his backlash."

"Overall, this shouldn't be a failure—"

"40 million on the first day, if it can be maintained, the overseas trend is good, maybe there will be profits, but the main thing is to see the decline the next day-"

Actually, to be honest, it was not Dick's responsibility to not let Big Dream participate in "Alice", and Robert at that time had no intention of letting Big Dream enter the game - at that time, this was still a support for Big Dream, and no one expected that just a few years later, Big Dream had begun to participate in this kind of movie with an investment of 200 million yuan on a large scale. However, now that Dick has left office, this black pot is not buckled on his head, Robert will feel that he lacks professionalism, and now he has a deep belief in Jennifer's intuition, and he also has a high evaluation of her vision and ability, he can only be glad that "OZ" is dominated by big dreams, but the possibility of the 200 million investment loss is not big, for "Alice", he is already a half-given attitude, and he doesn't even care so much about the daily box office, but just tells the secretaries to pay attention to the real-time figures: this loss, Disney can still afford it, so as not to break the bones, now that the person responsible has been found, caseclose, the rest of the matter, it is not up to him, the big president, to care.

- However, whether it is a senior movie fan, a celebrity fan, or a professional like Robert, what they didn't expect is that after the start of the first day of 40 million, the low reputation of "Alice" did not affect the continued high box office, 44 million on Saturday, 33 million on Sunday, and 100 million 300 million in the first week, which has broken a bunch of spring box office records, and on Monday, the first week overseas was also fed back - "Alice", which opened simultaneously around the world, actually reached 300 million in the first week! ――This number is even on par with "Avatar"!

That's the quality? This Rotten Tomatoes, IMDB score? 300 million global box office in the first week?

The movie has been released, everyone can see it, what is the quality of "Alice", this is needless to say, and whether it is a film critic or an ordinary audience, there is not much difference in the caliber of film reviews, everyone says that this film is 'nah, it's not so good-looking', under this kind of word-of-mouth, 300 million in the first week in the world? What does it sell?

Is it a story?

Impossible, the narrative of this film is messy and mediocre, without this charm, word of mouth speaks for itself.

Are you an actor?

No way, Jennifer. Jefferson is not the focus of the publicity at all, everyone knows very well that she is only a supporting role in this play, and judging from the feedback, people are not looking at her rare scenes and performances that can only be regarded as substandard. - As for Johnny. Depp, the film reviews and audience feedback are also similar to Jennifer.

Is it a director?

It's impossible, if Tim had this charm, he wouldn't just be an occasional hit. His control of the market has not yet reached the magical Cameron level.

-- Analysis and analysis, the market can only boil down the success of "Alice" to one point - 3D!

Even if it is a later transformation, even if the scenery can only be said to be average, even if it is purely following the trend, but for the audience, after "Avatar", they are hungry for 3D. Thirst needs to be filled, and "Alice" just fills this gap, as a mediocre work, the box office capacity of "Alice" in the first week is actually the market's hunger for 3D. The embodiment of thirst - 300 million in the first week, 600 million or 700 million in the world, if you are not careful, you can simply break 1 billion...... Then, the current market has a hunger of 1 billion volumes. Thirsty!

Regardless of the quality, as long as it is 3D, you can lie down and count the money - no matter which company, this idea has great temptation, post-transformation has become a new buzzword in the industry, and all Hollywood is partying to find a new way to dig pockets, and at the same time, they are also looking at "Codename Shero", the first 3DIMAX blockbuster to be released after "Alice", the market's expectations for it have been raised again - everyone wants to know, If there is no fantasy landscape created out of thin air, if it is a relatively 'down-to-earth' superhero film, with the blessing of 3D, what level can its box office go, 1 billion? 2 billion? For the box office volume of 3D movies, Hollywood is very radical, daring to think, and really unlimited!

Jose. Wheddon, Jennifer. Jefferson, "Codename Shero" - the media are talking about this new film with a good reputation at the test screening, film critics even thumbs up, predicting its box office range, directors and screenwriters are talking about its shooting methods, impatient to see the sample film early, so that they have a good idea of 3D movies, and the CEOs of the Big Six have also contacted Big Dream, and the key word of the conversation is '3D' -

But just as everyone was in a hurry to talk to Jennifer. When Jefferson talks about 3D, they find that the only person they can contact is Cesare, who is based in Los Angeles. Vijery – In mid-April 2010, Jennifer was like a bubble on the sea, blown away by a gust of wind, whether it was Wellington or Los Angeles, or even Beijing, China, there was no trace of her, and to use a very oriental word, Jennifer was now hidden by God - seriously, she was completely 'hidden'......
