1562 Unparalleled
72_72291 history is always so strikingly similar.
To this day, no one can forget that summer two years ago. At that time, Hugo had just won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, and everyone was paying attention to the magical magic spell, curious about what Hugo's next work would achieve. Everyone knows what the result is: "Life and Death" swept through thousands of troops in North America and earned $239 million.
Back in the summer of 1996, Hugo had just won his first Oscar for Best Actor, and the "Golden Man Curse" once again became a tight spell on Hugo's head, and there was still no news about Hugo's new work in the past few months, but "Independence Day" happened to appear at this point in time. This time, it seems to be different from the "speed of life and death", but it is almost exactly the same.
The news media led by the "New York Post" did not stupidly start the gamble again, but it is undeniable that the box office trend of "Independence Day" still attracts a lot of attention, and it is even more attractive than the gamble two years ago, because the box office of "Independence Day" involves the "20 million club", a commercial film represented by computer special effects, a success rate with high investment and high returns, and a debate that has lasted for nearly three years in Hollywood, which is the focus of close attention of the entire film industry.
"Speed of Life and Death" became the most eye-catching commercial film of the year as a dark horse; And "Independence Day" cannot be regarded as a dark horse, because it has been a topic of conversation from beginning to end, and there is no shortage of media like the "Chicago Tribune" that are optimistic about its historical record, but can the final answer sheet of "Independence Day" be comparable to "the speed of life and death"?
At least from the point of view of cost, "Independence Day" has no advantage over "speed of life and death"; But judging from the audience's reaction after the premiere, there are too many similarities between the two.
"God, did you see the last explosion? It was as if the whole sky was exploding and all the stars were pouring down like a waterfall, which was truly spectacular! ”
"Don't you think it's romantic? When I saw that picture, I felt like my whole body was going to melt! ”
"My favorite picture of the alien spaceship just arriving on Earth ......"
"Hey! Hey! The scene of bombing the White House is called handsome! With a bang, the White House was blown to pieces, which was really incredible! ”
"Yes, yes, the White House was blown up directly, I'm curious how Clinton will feel when he sees the movie, hahahaha......"
Middle. There was a lot of buzz at the entrance of the National Theatre, and Sophie, the host of Fox TV's entertainment news show, was loud and loud. In fact, there were many paper media reporters standing at the door of the theater at this time, after all, the number of reporters who could enter the premiere was limited, so many reporters stayed in the outfield, intending to interview the crew and guests as soon as possible. But Fox is the only television medium.
Not because Fox Television and Twentieth Century Fox are part of the same parent company, but because Fox Television was founded on news stations, and their journalistic acumen is far superior to that of their competitors, which is the cornerstone of their fame.
The huge publicity before the release of "Independence Day" had already attracted the attention of Fox TV, and they recalled the way of support that shocked North America when the premiere of "Life and Death" was released, and thought that today's premiere would definitely make a big fuss, so they sent a helicopter to shoot in the sky in the afternoon, and it was really fruitful. Now that the premiere of the movie has ended, they brought the cameraman to interview the audience on the spot, and learned the real appearance of the movie "Independence Day" from the audience's perspective for the first time.
I have to say that Fox TV's choice is very bold. Because in the eyes of the media, no one cares about the opinions of ordinary audiences, and they all target their interviews with crew members or invited guests, of course, it would be more perfect if Hugo could be interviewed.
Therefore, Fox TV's actions did not arouse too many scruples from other peers, and everyone rushed towards the target group.
"Hello, can I take up a little bit of your time?" Sophie casually stopped a group of young people in front of her and asked loudly, and the noise around her forced her to raise her voice and shout to ask.
The four young men stopped, with excited smiles on their faces, and nodded repeatedly, "Of course." ”
Sophie pointed the microphone at the interviewee, "You just watched 'Independence Day', what do you think of this movie?" ”
"Wonderful, wonderful!" "God, the picture is simply spectacular, every battle is spectacular!" "It's completely like I've never seen a movie before, and if 'Star Wars' were done like that, I feel like I'd be going straight to the cinema with heart palsy." "I guess I'm going to be so excited that I can't sleep tonight, I don't want to sleep! Wow, wow, wow! "Unbeatable! Unparalleled! It's really him. Mother. Unbeatable! ”……
These young people in front of you, you rushed to express your opinions word by word, and expressed the surging joy in their hearts with their whole bodies. The excitement and excitement that came to her face made even Sophie smile involuntarily and wanted to jump with them.
After Sophie's interview, the four young people stood shoulder to shoulder and began to howl wolf beside them, "Woohoo, woohoo!" The heart-churning emotions were vividly vented, which gave Sophie some encouragement - after all, whether interviewing ordinary viewers is the right choice, no one knows whether it is the right choice.
Sophie then interviewed a couple, and the man seemed calm compared to the others, "Although it didn't live up to my expectations, the story still seemed too simple, but it was a good movie, and it was worth watching in the cinema." However, such a movie, you have to come to the cinema to feel its charm, and the home video will lose a lot of color. ”
The lady standing next to her also nodded, "To be honest, I agree with him, but I still like this movie." Except that Hugo's role is still too weak, on the whole, the more than two hours of watching the movie are very pleasant, and I am in a relaxed mood now. ”
"So, you're a fan of Hugo?" Sophie couldn't help but ask.
The lady chuckled, "I wouldn't say that, but Hugo is the reason we watched this movie." The man standing next to him added, "It was because of her request that I came over three days in advance to queue up to get tickets for the premiere movie." This made the lady laugh shyly, "But Hugo's role in the movie is still weakened, which is a pity." But the interaction between Hugo and Alexander, Leonardo, and Sandra is still very interesting. ”
When Sophie handed the microphone to a middle-aged man in his fifties, his expression didn't seem to be fully composed, "Well, if you look at the story, it definitely can't meet too many people's expectations, but...... But, wow, such a picture is indeed unprecedented, and the whole viewing process is full of surprises. I wouldn't say I loved it, but I must admit that it would be a shame to miss it. Speaking of this, the man seemed to have finally come to his senses, and laughed, "This movie represents the dream of many people when they were young, and I think maybe I know the reason why Hugo is willing to take this movie." After speaking, the man also showed a smile of "you know and I know" and left calmly.
"I like it, I like it, I like it!" This is the answer from a mother about thirty-five years old, who is still holding her daughter in her hand, "I thought I wouldn't like this kind of subject, but because of Hugo, I chose to watch it." However, I didn't expect that I liked it very much, and it was really a wonderful movie. ”
Then Sophie saw a boy about twenty years old jumping in place, almost unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, Sophie went to interview, but did not get a clear answer, just listened to the boy jumping and shouting intermittently, "Incredible...... Magical...... Wonderful...... Exciting, so exciting...... Oh, God! Oh, God! Oh, God! ”
Sophie hesitated for a moment, but could only withdraw the microphone in her hand and added, "Judging from this state, he should have no plans to sleep tonight." ”
Sophie interviewed a wide range of subjects, including men and women, representatives of all ages, and representatives who seemed to be dressed in different classes, and interviewed more than 30 viewers before and after, Sophie found a phenomenon: maybe "Independence Day" is not perfect, many people have different opinions about the film, but the same thing is that almost everyone thinks that the film is worth watching. This is very rare.
You must know that it is not easy to judge the quality of a movie, but it is even more difficult to judge whether a movie is worth watching. But now, everyone thinks that "Independence Day" is worth going to the cinema, it is worth the ticket price, whether the person likes it or not, but it is indeed worth watching. This is undoubtedly an extremely important piece of information, even the "speed of life and death" was not able to get such an evaluation in the first place, and from this point of view, you can see how brilliant and shocking the visual effects of "Independence Day" are - in 1996, this is the first time in the world!
What's more, almost everyone can see the excitement and excitement that have not disappeared in their eyes, clearly showing that this is a movie that is enough to make people's blood boil. For most people, that's enough to entice them to the cinema.
"If I had to sum up the feelings of the interview in one sentence, I would choose the word 'incomparable', what kind of film is it that has led so many different audiences to similar conclusions? This sparked a strong curiosity in me, and maybe I should go to the cinema and watch the film myself. ”
After finishing the interview, Sophie came to her own conclusions in front of the camera, and the storm of the premiere of "Independence Day" was just beginning
