"Oh, that's great." "This is the best movie I've seen this year." "Thank you Kung Fu Lin for bringing us such a wonderful movie." In the melodious theme song, fans and audiences stood up and applauded wildly, expressing their truest feelings after watching the movie with praise and cheers.

Film critic Kyle is also one of the applauders, maybe "Savage: The Rise of the Apes" is not profound enough, but this movie is definitely wonderful enough, and it will definitely become one of the most classic movies that countless fans and audiences will never forget, it is too shocking, the "Savage" trilogy will definitely become another fantasy epic masterpiece after the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, there are too many pictures destined to become classics, such as beautiful and picturesque scenery shots, wonderful fighting scenes, majestic giant tribes, The imaginative character art design will be tried to be imitated in many films in the future.

Lin Yuquan's handsome face was filled with a satisfied smile, although this was not the first time he had heard the audience applauding and cheering at the end of the premiere, but every time he heard such a voice, he felt extremely satisfied, as a director. As a work that he put a lot of effort into complete. It's a wonderful feeling to be able to bring joy to everyone and get their heartfelt approval. He likes it, and that's the biggest motivation for him to keep shooting.

And not only him, Andy. Serkis, Benedict. Cumberbatch, Brody. Jenner, Howard. Shaw, Chris. Anderson, Kevin. Garnett and the others were all excited, apparently pleased with the film and the audience's response.

The deafening applause and cheers in the Chinese theater did not stop for a long time, as if this was the only way to express their love and satisfaction with "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race".

Lin Yuquan, who was sitting in the front row, and the main creators of the film also got up and walked to the stage, stood in a row, and thanked the guests and fans with smiles on their faces.

After the warm and long applause and cheers stopped, Lin Yuquan picked up the microphone. looked at the audience and said with a smile: "Thank you for such enthusiastic applause, I'm glad that everyone can like this movie, before this, Andy and Benedict were a little apprehensive despite their confidence, I said to them, rest assured, the audience will definitely like our "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes", it turns out. And we did. ”

"Papapa", "Haha". The thunderous applause in the midst of the chuckles rang out again, Andy. Serkis, Benedict. Cumberbatch was even more smiling.

After the voice calmed down slightly, Lin Yuquan continued: "This is my fifth personal film, to be honest, it is not easy to make such a movie, in this process, there are too many people who have worked hard for it, actors, photographers, lighting engineers, art directors, soundtracks, especially the special effects team led by Weta Digital, there are more than 2,000 special effects shots in "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes", the workload is huge, they are not here today, here I would like to express my special thanks to them, Thanks to more than 300 days and nights of hard work, we were able to bring us the amazing visuals we see on the big screen. ”

"Bang Bang", the fans and the audience clapped their hands hard, not only is it outstanding, but the gorgeous visual effects of "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes" couldn't be better.

The Chinese theater has the main creator after the premiere thanks, but in North America, Europe and other places, the fans and audiences after a long period of thunderous applause, each other enthusiastically discussed out of the theater, the scene is very lively, and in the ticket hall and waiting area are equally lively, although it is very late after the zero o'clock at this time, but no one is willing to wait longer, for the long-awaited movie "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race", everyone is eager to see it, and the zero o'clock premiere tickets that have been pre-sold out have already been pre-sold, With a large number of screenings at 3 and 6 o'clock in the morning, the popularity of "Savage Story: Rise of the Apes" has exploded, and time is completely unstoppable.

Because of the late time, after the premiere, Lin Yuquan immediately returned to the villa, but he did not rest immediately, but while paying attention to the fan evaluation of "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Clan" on the Internet, he waited for the call of the second daughter.

And when he chatted with the second daughter very happily, the night was destined to be not so peaceful.

Not to mention the continued popularity of movie-watching scenes in major theaters around the world, too many people can't wait to express their movie-watching feelings.

The first to make their voices are of course ordinary movie fans and audiences, the first batch of fans and viewers who have watched "Wild Story: Rise of the Ape Race" quickly commented and rated on websites such as IMDB, Movie Guide, Time.com, Douban.com, etc., The fiery atmosphere in the theater was finally truthfully reflected in the reviews and ratings, and the most anticipated movie "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes" this summer went straight to the top ten of the major charts, and directly won the top on most of the lists, including IMDBTOP250, " Savage Tales: Rise of the Apes soon had 100328 users participate in the rating, and its rating is as high as 9.6 points, surpassing the 9.0 of "The Godfather", "The Shawshank Redemption" 8.9, "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" 8.9, "The Godfather 2" 8.8, "Seven Samurai" 8.8, "Casablanca" 8.7, "Schindler's List", "The Lord of the Rings 1: The Lord of the Rings" 8.7 and other films, ranking first on the list.

Of course, because "Wild Tales: The Rise of the Ape Race" has just been released, and the number of Lin Yuquan's fans is extremely large, in a short time, such a score can only show that the film is very popular among the audience, but it is difficult to use it as the basis for the ranking of the film's actual classic Cheng dù, and it is impossible to judge whether the film is good or not by the score.

Anyway, when Lin Yuquan saw the relevant report the next morning, he just looked at it lightly, and he didn't feel complacent at all because he was at the top of the IMDBTOP250 list. In his opinion. Such a ranking is actually quite meaningless. After the film reaches a certain level, it is actually difficult to measure it with a rating ranking, putting aside the "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race", which he just made the list, just looking at the previous rankings, "The Godfather" must be more classic than "The Shawshank Redemption", "Forrest Gump", "Citizen Kane", "Cinema Paradiso", "Gone with the Wind" and other films? At the same time, does "The Godfather" necessarily look better than movies such as "The Lord of the Rings", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Home Alone", "The Matrix", etc.?

Lin Yuquan does not think at all, I believe that there will be countless people around the world who think so, although the IMDB website is currently the most authoritative, systematic and comprehensive film information website on the Internet, and its unique movie rating system is very popular with fans. It has a wide influence around the world, but because of its selection mechanism, there are many excellent films that cannot participate in the ranking because they do not meet the minimum number of votes required by the TOP of 1250 votes, and there are also many films that are not treated fairly, such as action movies and comedies, which are obviously underrated.

In addition, IMDB itself is an English-language website run by Americans, so more than half of the users who participated in IMDB's TOP250 selection are Americans, and only a few of them are non-English-speaking countries. And it's a well-known fact that most Americans only care about their own country's movies, and rarely touch anything outside of Hollywood. So the list lacks European, Asian and other films.

In addition, everyone's tastes are different, and the users who vote on the IMDB website are only a small part of the users. Considering these factors, even if it is at the top of the list, it may be a good name, but it is neither the world's most classic movie, nor the best movie.

And when the film is good enough to a certain extent, it is impossible to rank it with such a score, not to mention other movies, his own films, he can't rank them, each movie has its own characteristics, and each movie is very exciting, how to rank.

So maybe media reporters and the public will be very excited about "Wild Story: Rise of the Ape" to capture the movie rating rankings, but he himself doesn't care, he cares more about the actual evaluation of film critics and fans than the ranking on the IMDBTOP250, which is the factor that reflects the real quality of the movie.

"There's no better summer blockbuster than this, it's radiant, it's dizzying, and it's the best film of the summer so far, without a doubt."

"Although it is a world full of beasts without human beings, there is no sense of disobedience to watch, and the fascinating plot and extreme visual effects make people addicted to it and can't extricate themselves."

"Although the film is two and a half hours long, the story is long and not chaotic, rich and rich, and the editing is also tight and gripping."

"Lin Yuquan is too powerful, in his hands, CG and real shooting, artistry and entertainment are perfectly integrated, although I have been emotionally touched countless times, but I really have to be emotional, it is hard to imagine that a director in his twenties can do this."

"The cooperation between Lin Yuquan and Weta Digital has once again raised the height of special effects, creating extraordinary visual effects. Cameron's "Avatar" can surpass him. ”

"Andy. Once again, Serkis shows the magic of acting, and what you see is not just the most powerful digital magic, but a character who is both real and fake, sometimes bohemian, sometimes angry, sometimes unyielding, sometimes calm, and his performance is worthy of an Oscar. ”

"Lin Yuquan once again proved his extraordinary directorial talent with a masterpiece that is enough to become a classic in film history, he is one of the most unlikely directors on the planet to disappoint fans, and the youngest among them."

All fans and critics did not hesitate to praise the enthusiastic praise, the Rotten Tomatoes website has a freshness of 96%: 192 votes in favor of: 9 votes against, which can be described as fresh, Yahoo has an A- and a comprehensive media score of 89, which tops the list of works released on a large scale this year.

"Chicago Sun", "New York Post", "Variety", "Chicago Tribune", "Christian Science Monitor", "Empire", "Entertainment Weekly", "Chicago Reader", "Theaters", "The Hollywood Reporter", "Seattle Post", "Time", "USA Today", "Los Angeles Times", "New York Daily News" authoritative media all gave full marks, "Savage: Rise of the Apes" The reputation has been exaggerated and indescribable, and it is an absolute Oscar masterpiece.

Kelly Murray, a member of the Los Angeles Film Critics Association and a well-known film critic. In his film review, Richie wrote: "It is both entertaining and intellectual. "Savage: Rise of the Apes" is definitely so far this year. The most amazing commercial film. There is no doubt that this film will be a strong contender for next year's Oscars, and it will definitely win the award. Because it's all motion capture and CG, it may be difficult for the film to achieve Lin Yuquan's breakthrough so far in the actor awards, but in the technical awards, "Wild Wild: Rise of the Apes" is definitely the king of them, and I think Lin Yuquan deserves an Oscar for Best Director, a young director under the age of 25 makes such an amazing movie. Isn't it worth affirming? ”

The evaluation of fans and audiences is not necessarily, but this is definitely the highest evaluation by film critics among all Lin Yuquan's films, and it is difficult for Lin Yuquan to be unhappy in the face of such affirmation.

And of all the reviews, he mainly looked at Roger. Albert's commentary, the chief film critic of the Chicago Sun and one of the most prestigious film critics in the United States, has a style of commentary that appeals to him.

In Roger. In Albert's rating system, he gives four stars to high-quality films and half a star to the worst films. 0 stars were given to the film unless he deemed it "artistic" or "morally disgusting".

This time, he gave "Wild Wild: Rise of the Apes" a perfect score of four stars, and he mentioned in the movie review: "I felt the same way when I watched "Wild Ages: Rise of the Apes" as I watched "The Lord of the Rings" before. There is no doubt that this is a wonderful and extraordinary fantasy epic entertainment journey, which gives us a full glimpse of the exciting real world of the Savage Continent, but it is not only about it, it contains a clear sense of struggle for freedom, like "The Lord of the Rings" and "King Kong", it creates new movie stars, its visual details are so rich, it is worth watching again and again, it is destined to set off a cult frenzy this summer, it is a movie that you have to go to the theater to keep up with other people's topics

A little bit lacking, since it is a new savage world, then it should be like "The Lord of the Rings", create a new language, Tolkien's original creation of more than ten languages is amazing, and in the "Lord of the Rings" movie, based on Tolkien's two artificial languages filmed elven language is beautiful, with a high sense of phonetic beauty, James. Cameron's "Avatar" is also reportedly creating a zào language

From this film, we can clearly see that Lin Yuquan is transitioning from a pure entertainment commercial director to a great director, his future is exciting, he will be the best director at the Oscars, it only takes time, although only half of this year has passed, but this film will definitely be included in my mind 2008 best film list. ”

I've seen Roger. Albert's comment, Lin Yuquan has pleasant places and helpless places, and there are many pleasant places, such as the inclusion of Roger. Albert's list of the best films of 2008, this is the first time that his film has been included in his top 10 films released by the famous film critic at the end of each year, last year his top 10 films of the year were "Juno", "No Country for Old Men", "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead", "Atonement", "The Kite Runner", "Leave Her", "Across the World", "La Vie en Rose", "The Great Debater", "Into the Wilderness", not only without his "Hurricane Rescue", but also not a blockbuster and action movie.

In fact, in this regard, he has the memory of a cultivator, I am afraid that no linguist on the earth can compare with him, but the problem is that unlike "The Lord of the Rings", "The Lord of the Rings" is that most of the language is human language, and only a very small part speaks elven language, which brings freshness while not affecting the overall viewing of the film, but his "Wild Story" is different, there is no human language at all, can only use all the language from the cultivator's memory, which will inevitably bring trouble to the release of the film, after all, not all fans and audiences like to watch movies with subtitles, so from the beginning, he didn't think about it.

But I've seen Roger. After Albert's film review, Lin Yuquan suddenly realized that although there would be problems in the release, he could definitely get a very high profit if he could specialize in dubbing, make zuò into a DVD for sale or broadcast it through guò online channels.

Thanks to the sharp rise in the screen in the past year and the relative increase in movie ticket prices, "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Clan" surpassed the 27.4 million of "Hurricane Rescue", setting a record for Lin Yuquan's highest single-day box office for the premiere in the mainland, and it is also the highest single-day box office for the premiere in mainland film history, with a box office of 37.8 million.

For this result, even Lin Yuquan was very surprised, but what surprised him was not that the box office was too high, but the rapid rise of the mainland film market.

After being surprised, Lin Yuquan's eyes naturally fell to other places, especially in Europe and the United States, the domestic film market is naturally worth looking forward to, but only for now, Europe and the United States are the main market for a movie, a Hollywood blockbuster movie, and the key to how a film achieves at the final box office. (To be continued......)

PS: Bow and thank the master Fu 51035447 and Yiri for their monthly ticket support, the mainland box office in 08 is not comparable to now, and I am really drunk to see movies that are now worth five or six billion, as high as 2 billion.
