Chapter 154: "Spy Shadows" test screening
Two hours flew by.
When Jason meets Mary again in the enchanting sea breeze of Greece, everyone realizes that the film has come to an end.
"It's fast."
Cobo is the owner of a private dentist clinic in New York, loves movies, especially espionage and war, and of course has high expectations for the variant spy film "Spy Shadow", this time he pulled his friend Dyson Harry, an otaku engineer, to have a sneak peek.
The list of entertainers is still being broadcast on the screen, but the movie that does not say that there are easter eggs has already been watched at this time.
"Indeed," Dyson said, stretching, feeling his back stiffen a little, "it's too fast, which shows that the pace of the film is quite tight, and there are hardly any points of boredom." β
"It's great," said Kobo, who has seen a lot of similar movies and has a considerable appreciation, "Doug Liman's mastery of the camera is amazing, every shot is clean and clean, even the long shots are full of breath-taking charm." This is an amazing director. β
"Jason is great too, I think."
Dyson also likes to watch movies, but he is not at the same level as an enthusiast like Kobo, usually he and Kobo watch movies, and he will always receive some IQ inspiration, some stalks he doesn't realize at all, and others don't understand well, at this time Kebo explained to him. Under normal circumstances, Kobo would never deprive him of the pleasure of watching movies. Think about it, if your friend has been chattering around while watching a movie, showing off his eyesight, experience, and guesses, how annoying it is, don't even think about it, the next time you watch a movie, just kick him away, and I'd rather watch it alone than abuse yourself so much.
Kobo was silent for a moment, and the words were still running on the screen.
For Jason Byrne's play, he can first agree with Dyson, great! In fact, according to the understanding of ordinary people, Jason's neat kung fu, calm and high-IQ response, and brazenness in the face of the CIA, that is, the CIA, are all remarkable. If it were Daniel's young female fans, even just having to stare at him, it would be glamorous enough, whether it was the crew's ill-fitting sweater, or the later tight-fitting black tank top, and the slender legs, including every precise expression of love for the eternally glamorous face, it was enough to pay off the ticket price. However, Kobo was reluctant to give Daniel's watch such a simple evaluation.
The lights of the cinema began to slowly turn on.
The sound of people squirming interrupted Kobo's thoughts.
"Daniel's performance, and the story." Cobo felt that he needed a little time to think about it, isn't this the charm of a movie, or something like a movie, not the kind of fast food like "Legally Blonde" where only people who are disease-free can extract a few words of chicken soup for the soul after watching it. "Spy Shadow" is by no means that kind of work, it is definitely suitable for watching it twice, or even three times.
After the film is screened, it is usually the interaction between the creator and the audience, especially now, when there are more than 20 days to go, the distributor has to rely on the final audience reaction to determine the ultimate strategy.
"Director Liman, I have a question, Byrne missed at the beginning because he saw the child's eyes. Do you think it is unreasonable for an elite CIA agent with such a huge training fee to fail for such a reason? β
Doug Liman smiled, "I think it's better for Daniel to answer this question." β
Daniel waved his hand, he's a hot guy right now and usually gets asked a lot of times, so most of the time it's up to him to push the question on.
But Doug Liman was quite persistent.
"Okay, then I'll answer that question. Mr. Smith: yes? β
Smith smiled, nodding his head.
"I don't know what it's like to be an agent in your mind? Is it the 007 kind, the beauty of the fragrant car, the invincible image, or something else. But that's not the case with Jasonβ"
When Kobo heard this, he suddenly felt enlightened, and he finally knew why he felt wrong.
Jason is an agent, but not an agent.
Daniel's ruthless determination in martial arts, marksmanship, plot reasoning, and even driving and even fighting, coupled with the excellent personal appearance of the movie agent, made him have no doubt that this is an excellent product of the CIA. Precise, ruthless, powerful, and ruthless killing machine. But this is not entirely the case, from the very beginning, lost because of a child's gaze, most of the time obsessively asking who I am, my past, what I want and what I get, what a self this is, this self is not external, but internal. It does not require the use of a vase like the "Bond Girl" to assist the symbolized agents.
To put it a little more ambitiously, this is a milestone in the movement of spy movies from imagination to reality.
Therefore, Kobo, who has watched a lot of movies, will feel unsatisfied.
On stage, Daniel briefly shows that the plot is not useless, nor is it a mistake, but a setup.
"I want people to understand what Jason is trying to say, and understand our entire creative team, as well as Doug's intentions. This is an important point, and you can think about it more. β
At the early audience preview screening, of course, it is impossible for the creator to say everything cleanly, so it is rare to ask the question of Mr. Smith just now on such an occasion.
Dyson lifted his glasses and raised his hand to ask a question, but this time it wasn't his turn.
"What are you asking?" Kobo wondered.
"I wanted to ask him how he felt about Porsche."
"Huh?"
Dyson is an otaku who is very proficient in the Internet and knows a lot about Daniel and Collins' love affair, but Kobo doesn't know about it. After Dyson explained, he was impressed with his friend, and it was really hard to imagine what he would do at home alone with such a hot otaku with such a hot gossip attribute.
After a few questions, it was finally Dyson's turn.
"Hello Daniel. I'm Dyson, I've been following you for a long time, I've always wanted to build your muscles, what's the point? β
Kobo's mouth opened slightly, which was not the same as what he had just said.
Dyson is a few years younger than him, but he is also thirty-two years old.
Daniel and everyone were amused, the topic of fitness was asked many times, and of course the answer was very easy, "Hello Dyson, I think the most important thing about fitness is - hypnotize yourself." Oh no, just kidding. β
"Make a fitness plan, pay attention to your diet, and then stick to it, you can be like me, take daily photos to record your progress, I believe that under normal intensity, there will be obvious results in three months, I wish you success."
"Okay, thanks, I have one more question, sorry. Excuse me, do you like Porsche? β
"You mean the car?"
"You can also understand it as something else, like a woman."
Now, everyone who understands is happy, and those who don't understand are asked around.
On the stage, from Doug, Tony, to Franke, Chris Cooper all looked at Daniel with great interest, as an insider, this news is still known, Daniel's new girlfriend is the heir of the German Porsche family, and Collins's grandfather is the current family helmsman Wolfgang Bolsh.
"Ah, yes, I think the result is the same, yes."
Daniel will go on vacation to Northern Ireland after the release of "Spy", and he doesn't want to be surrounded by a large number of paparazzi at that time, so admit it early that there will always be a few fewer annoying followers. And there will be other people in the Porsche family going with them, and although the impact will definitely be there, it needs to be minimized as much as possible.
"Wow."
This answer was obviously a pleasant surprise to everyone.
"But BMW sponsored us, and Porsche didn't, and we're talking too much about Porsche being killed by the gangsters brought in by the sponsors, and this is New York."
Martin Scorsese and Leonardo are going to be spoiled by him.
The host ordered a middle-aged woman.
"Danielβ"
Sure enough, it was Daniel again, and this was his fourth question in a row.
"Can I ask someone else? Like me, let Daniel drink saliva. Chris Cooper said, picking up the microphone in front of Doug.
But the lady insisted on shaking her head, her eyes sharp, and she looked very eager to fight.
"Daniel, my brother has just been sent to the Middle East, and the recent anti-war rhetoric of celebrities is really very unusual, what do you think of what you are doing, do you think celebrities should be involved in these things?"
The audience was silent.
The moderator looked at Daniel and Doug's colors, and if he was given an indication to do so, he would immediately stop the question.
However, Doug looked at Daniel, and there was no special action.
Daniel was a little surprised, but kept his gentle expression, he seemed to think about it for a moment, and straightened the microphone.
"Madam, first of all, I wish your brother a safe return to China, God bless him. Then, I can't talk about many personal opinions here, so I will simply reply to your question, the difference between celebrities and ordinary people is influence, but influence, like presidents, cannot deprive people of their right to freedom. Celebrities can certainly do this, and in the same way, you and all U.S. citizens can have a say in it. That's it, thank you for coming. β
The post-screening meeting only lasted half an hour, so the rest of the time was basically forcibly distributed to the director and other actors.
The episode just now didn't affect everyone's good mood, because the vast majority of people gave great reviews to the film, which is consistent with the results of the previous preview screenings, and Universal is now more confident in the box office. Mountain Eagle's routine pre-screening prediction, which is not a paid project, is public, and they give a numerical prediction for the film that has attracted the attention of the audience, and the North American prediction of "Spy Shadow" is 120 million.
Compared with the blockbuster pattern of "007", the small man of "Spy Shadow" is more obvious, so the major evaluation agencies have no tendency to predict the box office explosion, but if 100 million is in hand, then the North American box office alone can be profitable, if it is 120 million, Universal will operate a very good project, and similar themes should be expected to be better on DVD.
There is no doubt that Daniel's admission to his love affair with the only granddaughter at the helm of the Porsche family has dominated the headlines for a short period of time.
and his ex-girlfriend Jessica have also been popular for a while.
The problem she has is an endless stream of "Daniel" "Daniel" "Daniel......
"We are not in contact at the moment. I don't really have much to say about his new relationship. β
Jessica, who couldn't bear it, officially sealed the issue, yes, there was no contact, in other words, she couldn't even be considered a friend, and of course she had no obligation to respond to Daniel's new relationship.
And it wasn't until the second half of late May that the word of mouth of the test screening of "Spy Shadow" began to come out one after another.
The film review was first published on Cobo Kerr's personal blogger homepage, and was later quoted and forwarded hundreds of times, and then the New York Times editorial staff saw and recommended it to the editor-in-chief, so the audience film was published in the newspaper along with the New York Times' own film critics' article.
"Say goodbye to 007 and welcome Jason Bourne"
In his review, Cobb spends a small amount of time briefly summarizing the aspects praised by other film critics, and spends more than half of the time explaining the differences and innovations between "Spy" and "007" films. Cobb's own tastes are more biased towards Jason Bourne, so in his article he also unabashedly praises the Jason Bourne-like agent, in his original words, "a special worker with flesh and blood but excellent skills, and ordinary humanity but extraordinary temperament".
The feedback received by The New York Times clearly shows that Cobb's description of "Spy Shadow" has attracted a lot of people, and it is a good move to distinguish it from the label of 007. Even Daniel wondered if the sharp-eyed Dr. Cobo Kerr was the childcare arranged by Universal. The Times' follow-up report described "Spy" as "a great film that is about to become a masterpiece of new spy cinema is about to be released, and it is clear that this time will not be an exception to Daniel Sandler's list of good films." After "Gladiator", "Legally Blonde" and "The Fellowship of the Ring", will "Spy Shadow" undoubtedly break 100 million? Everyone will wait and see. β
