Chapter 878: Long, smelly fart
readx;?β Before "Batman: Time to War", I'm afraid no one would dare to be like Duke? Rosenberg made this attempt at comic book movies, after all, comic book heroes are really far from reality. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info But, Duke? Rosenberg was very clever in discovering the most interoperable between comics and reality, that is, the mental journey of the characters and the emotions of the characters that can be conveyed by the audience, and the great "Batman" trilogy was born......"
Just like the article reposted by fans on Instant Share, the box office of "The Dark Knight Rises" has gone through ups and downs, but it is also moving forward steadily.
By June, the North American box office of "The Dark Knight Rise" finally exceeded $550 million, and the global box office also exceeded $1.3 billion.
Such a box office also made many people feel speechless, after all, "The Dark Knight Rises" has experienced so many turmoil.
Everyone in Hollywood, whether they like Duke or hate him, is completely aware of the impact of his commercial films.
On the first weekend of June, Sky Studios and Walt Disney jointly invested in the production of "Alien Battlefield", which cost a whopping $260 million and was distributed by Disney Studios, was officially released in North America.
David? Ellison and his Sky Studios, with a total investment of more than $300 million in the production and promotion of the film, specifically asked Walt Disney to prepare a huge premiere for "Alien Battlefield" as the final chapter of his original purchase of the film tetralogy. Ellison's last hope.
Although it is not so bad that the film will fail, Sky Movie Studios will go bankrupt, but everyone is bound to doubt his vision, David? Ellison is well aware of this.
Of course, he knows better that many people are now questioning his abilities, including his father Larry? Ellison.
What if you lose your father Larry? Ellison's support, David? Ellison couldn't imagine what the consequences would be, after so many years in Hollywood, he could not escape the support of his family.
Hurried down the red carpet, David? Before Ellison could enter the theater, he was called into a break room by his father's assistant.
in the lounge. Larry? Ellison affectionately serious, see David? When Ellison came in, he motioned for him to close the door and asked directly. "Fan? What exactly happened to Diesel in a car accident? β
Hear that, David? Ellison's heart sank.
Larry? Ellison then added, "Although the matter is not irreparable, your stupidity has exceeded my greatest imagination!" β
There was already a palpable anger in these words.
David? Ellison wanted to explain, but was met by Larry? Ellison interrupted with a raised hand. "It's not about you yet, and I don't want to hear anything superfluous! Also, if "Alien Battlefield" fails again......"
Speaking of which, he looked at David coldly? Ellison glanced.
Will Alien Battlegrounds be a success? In David? In Ellison's opinion, the film has everything it takes to be a big hit.
But the development of things is sometimes unpredictable, especially the market repercussions of films, Hollywood claims to be the world's film factory, with the most standardized production model, but it cannot fully grasp the pulse of the market.
The premiere went smoothly and nothing unexpected happened. There was no such thing as last month's shooting.
However, the film's premiere and thousands of early screenings have just ended, and the Internet with the fastest response has already appeared with a lot of abuse of "Alien Battlefield", especially on the Instant Share, the largest social networking site in North America, and the negative reviews of "Alien Battlefield" quickly hang in a prominent position.
"With all the fanfare, I rushed to this long-awaited date with Alien Battlefield on Friday night, and it felt like enjoying a long-planned private meeting, but it felt like ......"
"There are many selling points in this film, such as famous directors, such as high investment. For example, alien scenes...... However, all of this was suffocated into a long and smelly fart by "Alien Battlefield", roaring one after another in countless theaters! β
"First, it's clichΓ©. The image of the protagonist resembles "Prince of Persia", and the palace of Saturn resembles "Thor". The storyline is similar to "Avatar", and the monster shape is similar to "Golden Compass...... So what exactly does "Alien Battlefield" look like? It's like everything, it's just not like yourself. β
"Second, the colors are monotonous and dim. Look at the blockbuster films, whether it's "Avatar" or "The Dark Knight", whether it's "Transformers" or "The Avengers". All of them are radiant, and they don't dazzle the audience! β
"Third, the soundtrack tradition. Believing too much in the power of the symphony orchestra turns out that everything is depicted by the symphony, but the story itself is full of cult flavor and fairy tale flavor, which is very incompatible. β
"Fourth, the 3D effect is mediocre, nowhere near as good as the previously released big-budget movie "The Dark Knight Rises", which is purely a fishnet stocking that is forced to be worn in order to sell a few more dollars."
"Fifth, director Andrew? Stanton obviously thinks that he is familiar with the rules of commercial blockbuster creation, and uses action scenes to warm up the scene at the beginning of the story, but he pretends to deal with it with two hits, and it is obvious that the director is not very interested in action scenes, and the result is that the audience is not very interested in the film. β
"Sixth, the director is still the material for making cartoons in his bones. The director leans the center of the whole film towards the love between the protagonists, and the love that is as innocent as snow and sincere as water does not have an adult taste because the heroine shows her belly and thighs, to put it bluntly, the story is the love of two teenagers, if it is replaced by two cartoon robots, then this love will definitely move the heavens and the earth, but in the prosperous noisy and cruel background of reality, how can this simple love move you? β
"Seventh, the director didn't understand a truth, the magic weapon of giant commercial films is large-scale action scenes. As long as the scene is big enough, dazzling enough, fierce enough, cool enough, and long enough, then no matter how bad the film is, there will basically be people who will buy it, but the big scenes of this film are always pointed, and they are not flooded at all, so how can it be satisfying. β
"Eighth, the director wants to go literary and artistic in his bones. Judging from the whole film, there are a lot of action scenes, but they always stop at a shallow level, and they are hastily done within a few minutes. The two giant beasts on the poster waited until the audience was almost asleep before they appeared, and they were beaten down in a few rounds, can the audience be satisfied? β
"Ninth, the director doesn't understand the importance of action scenes at all. There are not a few fierce battle scenes in the end of the battle, and it's over, what the hell is this! If you look at the blockbuster films, whether it is "Transformers" or "Avatar", the battle at the end must be high, because after watching this, the audience has to walk out of the theater with a huge sense of shock and satisfaction, but "Alien Battlefield" is good, not to mention the victory with two punches and legs, and a few minutes of interlocking suspense scenes are added at the end of the film, isn't it redundant? β
"Finally, in the process of watching the movie, every time the interest is about to be ignited, the plot will immediately cool down, and when your hard object will be soft, it will stir your nerves that are gradually sleeping! When you feel really excited, it doesn't give you any chance to squirt and transition to the next link, watching "Alien Battlefield" is like having a spring dream, it seems to be beautiful, but there is no bit of high energy! β
Like a rapidly spreading plague, the negative word-of-mouth of "Alien Battlefield" spread at a terrifying speed on the Internet, and even if Walt Disney and Sky Studios tried enough, it was simply irreparable.
can only say that this film is indeed not in line with the audience's appetite, and in the subsequent interview broadcast by the TV station, countless fans were also complaining and abused.
"The publicity is too much, it's just a crude and sleepy movie."
"Not to mention the lack of big scenes, the drama and logic are so simple and crude that it is unbearable, and the age of the original work and the young audience are not an excuse."
"The plot is incoherent, the characters of the hero and heroine are not prominent, and occasionally a few highlights of laughter make me remind myself to sit in front of the screen - don't fall asleep! People who watch science fiction are now other than Duke? Rosenberg's film is really nothing to watch! β
"Entertainment movies are first used for entertainment, you don't have a few big scenes, a few monsters, and mediocre action scenes, who are you going to see? To put it bluntly, the story is to turn Superman around, Superman is an alien who comes to the earth and the gravity is low and invincible, so you directly reverse the earthlings and run to the alien planet to go to the low gravity invincible superhero. β
Not only that, but in the latest survey data, "Alien Battlegrounds" has an audience rating of C, a popcorn index of 62 percent, and the North American box office forecast for this film is $50 million.
The production cost of "Alien Battlefield" alone is as high as 260 million US dollars, and if it is really such a box office figure in the end, the investors will definitely lose money and spit out blood.
In fact, the box office trend of "Alien Battlefield" is not much different from the prediction.
On the first day of release on Friday, the film still got close to $5 million at the North American box office because of the role of publicity and promotion, but since Saturday, it has been dragged down by the excellent audience reputation, and the box office has been declining one after another, and the overall attendance rate in North America is even less than five percent, and after three days of the first weekend, it only completed the first week of the North American opening tour with $11.38 million.
In the highly competitive summer season, such a first-week box office result is not competitive at all, let alone grabbing a big piece of the cake, "Alien Battlefield" can't even compare to "The Dark Knight Rises", which was released for six weeks, and the latter got $12.13 million this weekend.
For David? For Ellison, the box office failure of "Alien Battlegrounds" was not the most painful, and on Monday, the Los Angeles police held another press conference to announce that they had caught hiring James? The private investigator in Holmes.
At the same time, Duke, who returned to Los Angeles from his North American propaganda trip, also received a message from Larry? Ellison's request for a visit. (To be continued.) )
