"Because the audiences of the two shows are completely different."

Is this Nancy? Josephson gave an answer, followed by some simple explanations for Duke.

In fact, to sum it up, the audience of Oprah's talk show is completely different from the potential audience of Duke movies, the former as long as anyone who knows a little knows that 70% or more of the audience are housewives over forty years old, and mainly small-town housewives, but what about Duke's films?

This fast-paced and visually striking film is primarily aimed at people between the ages of 17 and 35, and it's definitely male! Even if there are many female fans among them, they are often young girls, not housewives.

Who can expect housewives to pay for such a film?

After listening to Nancy's explanation, Duke immediately thought of what kind of movie housewives like best, bloody romance movies that love to death.

Yes, Oprah's talk show is very famous, but it is not suitable for every film actor or director, a director of Duke's style, except for the influence that the fame of the show itself can bring, in fact, it does not bring much benefit, at least not much benefit now.

If one day, Duke transitions to making housewife films, he will definitely actively contact Oprah.

Duke did not go with the team to announce and promote the whole United States, but he stayed in Los Angeles and was also busy with work, and the Independence Day holiday was quietly spent in all directions, and "Independence Day" also slightly changed yesterday's downward trend on this day, and the box office ushered in a small rebound, getting $18.56 million in a single day, no matter how much resistance there was, the film was firmly moving towards the $100 million mark.

The old day is over, the new day is coming, the sun is rising and setting, and in the studio near Chicago, the bright lights are never extinguished, as if this is the only way to illuminate Roger? The darkness in Albert's heart.

After receiving the news from his agent, this film critic turned on the TV, changed to Fox Channel, and hid his eyes behind his glasses and looked coldly at the young director who was making nonsense on the show.

"Why are film critics attacking me and my films? I think there is one thing that everyone may ignore behind this, "Independence Day" has only a comprehensive score of 3.1 points from film critics so far, and the praise rate of the 120,000 viewers interviewed is as high as 85%. ”

Roger? Albert's face was gloomy, Duke? Rosenberg is completely revealing the scars of their industry, and there is no intention of stopping.

"Do you remember what film critics said about Star Wars in the seventies? Cheap entertainment and Lucas's doomed child! The result? Star Wars became one of the nation's cultural icons, responding with the most powerful voice to critics' bashing, crushing all their dignity. ”

The TV was filled with shrill laughter, the voice of the audience, Roger? Albert's face turned cold, he was one of them back then, and the film critics had a tacit agreement not to mention this matter for a long time, but the young director once again put their scars in front of the American audience!

"Although "Independence Day" is not as good as "Star Wars", it will not fall under the attack of film critics, as evidenced by the box office and high reputation of the audience in the first weekend, in fact, I only want to say one thing, now the film industry and the audience, do not care about the opinions of film critics......"

Hand on the desk, clutching a pencil, Roger? Albert seems to have taken the pencil for a young director on a talk show, eager to choke him by the throat and stop him from continuing.

"Andrew? A great figure like Bazin has made outstanding contributions to the development of the film industry, but when the first group of film critics with extremely high professional and professional qualities retired, what was the current situation in the professional film critic industry? I don't know if you've read yesterday's newspapers, the film critics' columns are full of vicious personal attacks on me, and I wonder if this is a film review that they claim to be instructive? Or is it teaching audiences across the United States how to use vicious words to curse? ”

Roger? Albert's brows furrowed tightly, even though it was only the work of some film critics, he was directly detained by the other party on the entire film critic industry.

"Today's film critics are getting lower and lower, except for complaining and insulting, they can't write any film reviews with real opinions, and their own knowledge level and professionalism are very poor. What they write to curse can also be called a movie review? What is a Film Review? Andre? Bazin wrote a film review in the film manual, Andrei? Bazin not only provided criticism, but also played a crucial role in the development of cinema, and although he was not a director, his theories about cinema guided the development of the film industry. ”

The people on the TV don't mean to stop at all, as if they were wantonly attacking "Independence Day", and they are fighting back with sonorous force.

"A true film critic must have a deep cultural connotation, not only about pop culture, but also about the professional understanding of film. Originally, film criticism was supposed to be a very high-end profession, but now it is low-end, mixed in with a lot of people who are very lacking in professionalism, and these people are good for nothing but to win the reader's interest with vicious and sensational words. ”

"Think back, in the fifties and sixties, what was a film critic? Look at the present, the overall quality of the film critic team has declined, how can you still see good film reviews now? ”

The hand holding the pencil is getting tighter and tighter, Roger? Albert found that the other party was indeed a smart person, and people were nostalgic, especially movie fans and industry insiders who had experienced the fifties and sixties, and they must have missed the original golden age.

Duke? Rosenberg is very good at taking advantage of this!

Although it was rare to praise them in his heart, the people on the TV screen obviously did not intend to let them go.

"Most of today's film critics will only follow the trend, all commercial films will be overthrown, and all fast-paced and visually impactful films will be disdainful, so how can they have their own opinions? Even if sometimes they are right, a film is really bad, but when they ask them to ask why it is bad, the reasons they say are really shocking, and they don't have the most basic professional qualities at all. ”

"They never analyze the phenomenon, and the current film critics seem to be deliberately isolating the public and highlighting their own loftiness, but they never analyze why the public is so fond of a certain movie, and all the popular ones must scoff at it to highlight their own nobility."

"Film critics are deliberately detaching themselves from the public to show their own sense of existence, rather than objectively analyzing why a certain film is so successful, and what attracts the audience? What are the advantages? They are naturally on the opposite side of the audience! ”

Hearing this go straight to the essence of the truth, Roger? Albert's hand tightened suddenly, the tip of the pencil snapped, and a layer of anger appeared on his face.

The other party is telling the truth, but it is the truth that all film critics are deliberately avoiding!

If this kind of truth becomes the consensus of the public and Hollywood, their influence in the summer season with huge profits will inevitably decline sharply, and their income will drop sharply, and they will even fall to the point where only the awards season can highlight their savings!

Finally, in Roger? In Albert's cold eyes, the young director on the TV withdrew, but the next section seemed to be dedicated to him and Jean a few days ago? Siskel's movie show.

The TV screen is a mix of some shots from "Life and Death", "Brave Island" and "Independence Day", with Roger? Albert sounded utterly agitation.

"Starting with Life and Death, Duke? Rosenberg's film was loved by many fans, and reached a peak in "Independence Day", with nearly 13 million people walking into theaters to watch the film in three days last weekend, and setting a record for the first weekend box office of $63.08 million, why is his film so popular? ”

"Duke? Rosenberg attaches great importance to the audience's movie-watching experience, and there are three things that are very good. ”

"Love explodes! There are many explosions, and film critics find it annoying, but the audience feels that the money is well spent. And Duke's explosion is different from other people's explosions, it used to blow up cars, then it bombed islands, and now it blows up spaceships, and every time it will surprise people. From "Life and Death" to "Death Island" to "Independence Day", Duke? Rosenberg's explosion scene can make the audience feel a new shock every time. ”

"The picture is beautiful! Wide-angle scenes are used a lot, and the picture looks refreshing. "Life and Death" and "Death Island" overturned and exploded on the highway, and the perspective followed the tires, which are rarely seen in other movies, Duke? What Rosenberg shows to the audience is always the freshest thrill. ”

"The subject matter is ingenious! The themes of the movies chosen by Duke are all highly conceptual, and he likes to use unconventional types of background settings, such as the tension and excitement brought by the protagonist of "Life and Death" concentrated in a high-speed and narrow space, such as "Independence Day" where human beings are cornered and fight back! Highly conceptual works can attract people just by relying on the synopsis, and the movie has not yet been released, which has already taken the lead. ”

"Actually, there's a sentence that best sums it up, Duke? Rosenberg has a talent for captivating audiences! ”

Sit there, Roger? Albert gradually regained his composure, the show was completely using the aspects he and Siskel criticized as a propaganda point, bleaching and dyeing the black things in their mouths into white, according to the box office trend of "Independence Day" in the past few days, I am afraid that the publicity effect will not be bad......

Turn off the TV and think quietly for a while, Roger? Albert has to admit that it is not a wise choice to compete with a popular director and film in the summer at this time period, and it seems that he should gradually rein in and not end badly.

Will he be waiting for Duke during the most powerful awards season for film critics? Rosenberg! R1152
