After the start of the new week, "Gravity" ushered in the test of the working day, although the box office of the film was excellent in the first week, but in order to finally get an excellent box office data in North America, it needs to be stable enough, and the stable box office trend is also closely related to word of mouth, which is conducive to the use of the film to win awards.

Facts have also proved that the good audience and media reputation accumulated in the early stage of the film, coupled with the 'diamond sign' created by Duke with more than a dozen films, have directly translated into commercial appeal.

On Monday, the first working day after "Gravity" was released widely, the box office was down just 42 percent from last Sunday, ending the day with a $14.95 million rating.

On Tuesday, which is the traditional theatrical discount time in North America, it also causes many films to be the highest box office on weekdays on Tuesday, and "Gravity" is no exception, with $15.87 million on the day.

But by Wednesday, the film's box office had inevitably dropped by 20 percent, earning $12.97 million on the day.

Combined with the $13.05 million earned on Thursday, the film earned $145.9 million from North America a week after "Gravity" was expanded.

Starting from the second weekend, the film will be released overseas on a large scale.

"Gravity" is in theaters, the Oscar nomination voting that began on December 31 last year is also in full swing, and the ballots mailed by the academy to each member will not be fully recovered until early February.

If a judge votes for a film or actor at the time of nomination, if the film and actor end up on the nomination list, the judge will often make the same choice more than 90% of the time in the final vote.

And once the nominees are announced, a lot of public relations work will not be as blatant as it is now, especially some actions to discredit competitors.

Awards season every year. There will always be a lot of films attacking each other, especially those popular films, which are often the focus of attack. For example, a few years ago, Ang Lee's "Brokeback Mountain" was smeared by countless TV media and industry insiders. Lost the promising Best Picture award.

This is a circle entangled in the struggle for fame and fortune, and this year will be no exception, "Gravity", which is being screened and has received quite a good response, has inevitably attracted some offensive remarks.

"Gravity, a shallow work of technological flow full of countless shortcomings!"

In the new issue of The Hollywood Reporter, the title of this article is extraordinary, and Duke is not the only one who can buy advertisements or related columns in a media that is very influential in the circle, such as The Hollywood Reporter. There are also many people who can afford this money in Hollywood.

"Since the release of "Gravity", many people have praised it as a masterpiece, and the views that the film is a masterpiece are nothing more than the following, good technology, good story, good performance, strong experience, ideology, and artistry."

"In all fairness, the high score for its good technology is still within the normal range, although the visual effects presented by the special effects technology of this film are not as good as "Avatar", but it can be regarded as a production that can still be seen this year. But to say that it can be compared with the 3D effect of "Avatar" is beyond the scope of ordinary people's understanding. ”

"The visual effects of "Avatar" and even the grass tips in the distant view are delicate and textured, and when the smoke is filled, I feel that I may be covered with dust. What about Gravity? In addition to the 3D effect that can be seen when satellite debris hits. The others are simply a tablet, and when I watched it, the other audience members in the same audience said that there was no 3D effect, and I really don't know how people who said that the 3D effect was good could see the 3D effect and the exquisite and deep visual spectacle? ”

"The story is good, isn't it? Let's be honest. The prisoner who draws this kind of argument is really simple and effortless, what is the story? Something is not a story, the significance of a story lies in the description of the process of things. What is a good story? That is, the process of things is ups and downs, full of tension, coherent and vivid, with a beginning and an end, and can expound a certain truth or sublimate a deeper meaning. ”

"What story does Gravity tell? A story of survival. The core of the story is survival, that is to say, the protagonist survives by overcoming various difficulties, so most of the time is to watch the heroine float over, almost miss it, and float back. This time I caught ...... This one doesn't work, so I'll get another one. Floated over again, almost missing it. Floated back and caught the ...... this time Is this what a good story is called? ”

And because it is a movie starring the heroine alone, there is basically no suspense about the expectations of the fate of the characters. Of course, you might say, how do you know she's not going to die? I can only tell you that normal humans don't think like this, and very sudden gameplay can be done occasionally, but survival movies are actually about the process of escape, and maybe some people will watch half an hour of flat space footage after the heroine dies halfway, but Duke? A dull director like Rosenberg obviously wouldn't take that risk. ”

"It's a story that's as boring as a child who learns to walk, falls down and gets up again, and finally learns to walk after a few repetitions. If this kid had run a few steps at the end, the storytelling would have turned "Gravity" into slag in seconds. People who think that this film has a good story will probably wake up every day and find that they are still alive, and they will praise God with tears in their eyes. ”

"Good performance? Not to mention, movies with no story and lack of lines are limited by themselves, and the actors have no acting skills to play. Judging from the film, Scarlett? Johnson has been acting for the sake of acting all the time, with empty expressions, contrived performances, he can't see the horror from his heart when he is killed, he can't see sadness and pain when he loses a colleague, he can't see despair when his first hope is dashed, and he can't see loneliness when he finally learns to bark. ”

"Scarlett? Johnson's performance is absolutely disastrous, with no eyes and no personality, except for screaming and panting for breath and exhausting oxygen, sometimes I can't tell whether she wants to live or die, don't use her fright and excessive mental numbness as an excuse, I promise to change Alexandra? Ambrosio played better than her. ”

"What about the sense of experience, due to the flattening of the visual effects and the lack of emotional foreshadowing of the characters, they can neither feel the grandeur and vastness of the universe, nor do they empathize with the sense of weightlessness and loneliness in space, plus the story is thin and the plot is boring, which makes people unable to enter the play at all."

"As for anything thoughtful and artistic, I'll let you go, because you're hopeless, Duke? When will Rosenberg's film be able to relate to these two items? ”

"Although movies will lead to personal sublimation due to subjective understanding and feelings, after all, they also have relatively rigid creative rules and standards. A good movie must stand the test of wisdom and time, and a barely made commercial movie like "Gravity" cannot be stuffed into the temple of gods by relying on pale and empty howls and brainless interpretations by fans. ”

The media can always influence the choice of many people, especially some judges who don't watch movies much, and the influence of "The Hollywood Reporter" on the industry is undeniable.

On the other hand, in the history of the Oscars, except for the exceptional "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, no non-realistic film has been able to win big, and many people have worked the authenticity of "Gravity".

One called Scott? Former cosmonaut Parazsky has given an exclusive interview to the media, and he has completed seven spacewalks, including seven hours he spent dangling around the robotic arm of the International Space Station, repairing his solar panel array that could accidentally electrourize at any moment.

In an interview, he pointed out all kinds of common-sense mistakes in the film.

"The first thing that struck me was that there were three people walking outside the cabin, and only one person was actually working. Poor Scarlett? Johnson is doing all the work while the other two men are doing nothing: one of them is tossing the shelves loaded in the payload bay of the space shuttle, and George? Clooney is wearing a turbocharged jetpack, and in the movie you see him using the jetpack to get closer to the Hubble Space Telescope, and if you do that, you'll crash into the solar array, causing the batteries to bend and render them useless. So it's all wrong and even ridiculous. ”

"Let's talk about Scarlett again? The plausibility of Johnson's role. She is supposed to be very inexperienced, she said that after six months of training, this was her first mission, and the flight simulator failed to land successfully while training on the ground. With this level of training and experience, it's simply impossible to send her a mission, and she calls herself a mission specialist, but she's actually what we call a 'payload specialist': someone who has a very special skill can be sent on a space mission to do a specific mission or experiment. I would say that it takes at least two years of basic skills training to become a spacewalk specialist, and we never send a payload specialist to do a spacewalk. ”

"And a grossly untrue plot, Scarlett? Johnson's failure to wear a liquid recirculating cooling suit or diapers is a spacewalk blunder in the movie. ”

In the end, the former astronaut deliberately humorously said, "However, this is a science fiction film that is not based on reality, and we can't look at it with a professional eye." ”

As soon as this interview aired on TV, Duke saw the relevant content, and the intention of the other party was quite obvious, that is, to eliminate the potentially reality-based content of "Gravity", so that most people would naturally classify it into the ranks of science fiction films similar to "Star Wars".

As we all know, films of this genre have never been an Oscar dish. (To be continued.) )
