Chapter 727: Duke and Spielberg
In North America, with the screening of "Fury Road" one after another, the super high word-of-mouth almost swept the film market with a storm sweeping the leaves. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
In N's on-site interview, fans who watched the film were full of praise and reported to the film "Good film, blood gushing!" "Fury Road, the film is as its name suggests!" "Unforgettable style and unbridled imagination!" and other comments.
Of course, as an R-rated film, its audience is unlikely to be as broad as Duke's past PG-13 films, and there are those who will dislike the film.
"It feels weird from start to finish......"
"Found a movie genre that I didn't want to see at all......"
"The picture is more exciting, maybe I don't like this genre, I can't get into the play at all......"
Comments like these are not uncommon.
However, more than 95 percent of the people who walked into the theater to watch this film, whether it was an ordinary audience or a professional person, were full of praise.
On the Rotten Tomatoes website, which collects reviews from film critics, the freshness of "Fury Road" is unexpectedly 100% after its release in North America for almost a day.
You know, this is a Duke film, and in the past, after his films were released, the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes would always drop below 70% at lightning speed.
I have to say, with Roger? Albert and the older generation of film critics are fading out of the public eyeβperhaps more appropriately by automatically being ignored by the publicβand the new generation of film critics understands that the industry is not as influential, has not experienced the era of film critics' so-called call for wind and rain, and their conflict of interest with Duke is far less acute than that of the older generation of professional film critics.
However, Rotten Tomatoes or something, few commercial film directors and film companies will care, and it has nothing to do with the summer box office.
Today's Internet has become an indispensable and even extremely important part of this society, and online public opinion has an increasingly deep impact on the market of a film.
Whether it is IMDB's comments or the sharing on the instant sharing website, North American public opinion is completely one-sided.
"Director Duke? Rosenberg, director of photography John? Schwartzman, action director Jimmy? Carter and art director Hannah? Serena. Your whole family is bunkered! β
"It's a blast, and the first thirty minutes have been stunned several times, but this movie basically has no intention of stopping, if it has to be divided into five or six paragraphs. The drama between each segment is only about thirty seconds, and then it starts to be high again...... Tom? Cruise has no lines in the first two-thirds, and the goddess Theron, who firmly believes that women are not objects, is completely irresistible! β
"It's so cool, it's so handsome! Duke took the Hollywood action blockbuster scene design to a new level, with a wide variety of car chase scenes. **Then**, there is no urine point in the whole process, the special effects of a scene in the sandstorm scene are the most praised, and the emotional scene of the literary drama is up to the end. Tom? Cruise and Charlleze? Theron is so handsome that people can't help themselves. IMAX, please brush! Burning to the point of explosion, crazy to death! β
"It's like this in my heart the whole time when I watch it - the movie can still play like this, crazy like this!"
Compared with the word-of-mouth "Fury Road", the response of "The Adventures of Tintin", which was released at the same time, was quite average.
"Although it's a Spielberg movie, I really want to say that it's a bad movie, except for the technical remarkable, the storyline drags on without suspense. Not credible, unimaginative. β
"I've just seen it, the plot is old-fashioned, and there are some vulgar jokes that have nothing to do with the narrative at all, Tintin's character image is a mess, and he always has a self-made smart expression, and Bai Xue, who should be the most cute, is not cute at all!"
"There are too many accidents in the story, and the stories that are strung together in a vague way, after reading it, I personally feel very ordinary."
Public opinion on the Internet. Directly reflected in the film, because of the R-rated films, "Fury Road" was far less impressive than "The Dark Knight" and "Transformers", but it was also the highest-grossing film of the weekend. And "The Adventures of Tintin" not only lags far behind "Fury Road" in terms of attendance and theaters, but is even far below the minimum expectations of the outside world.
With an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars and a publicity budget of the same size, the director is still Spielberg's commercial masterpiece, and no matter how you look at it, its first-day box office will exceed $10 million......
However, "The Adventures of Tintin" has refreshed people's knowledge.
In one day on Friday, the first day of the release. The average box office of "The Adventures of Tintin" is only $1,145, and the more than 3,500 theaters combined only earned $4.05 million.
This achievement not only caused an uproar in the outside world, but also made major cinema chains begin to formulate plans to lower the schedule of this film.
David? Duke wasn't interested in knowing how Ellison would react, and his focus was still on his film.
"One day on Friday, including midnight show......"
On the plane to Phoenix, Tina? Faye told Duke about the data just reported by Warner Bros., "'Fury Road' earned $24.35 million in 4,050 theaters, and according to the current situation, the first-week box office figures of "The Adventures of Tintin" in North America are far less than our single-day results. β
Duke nodded, this has exceeded his expectations, and Warner Bros.'s excellent publicity is also a guarantee that it can achieve such box office results.
As one of the world's top film awards, the Cannes Palme d'Or always has some use.
However, he shifted the conversation to another side, "Those who protested didn't make much of an impact, did they? β
"Based on feedback from Warner Bros., the impact they had was not particularly significant."
See Scarlett next to you? Johnson poured himself a cup of black tea, Tina? Fei Xian nodded to her, and then said to Duke, "And in the most vicious places where they are in trouble, various feminist organizations have also carried out some targeted actions, and judging from the current situation, the impact on the film is not great." β
She thought for a moment, and then said, "There should be someone behind them." β
"Well...... Duke thought about it for a moment and said, "Leave it alone for now, our focus is to continue to build momentum for the film." β
Scarlett? Johnson poured black tea into Duke's cup, sat down and just looked at the script in front of him, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head, "Is that it?" β
Duke ignored her question, and instead gestured to the script with his eyes, "How is it, are you interested?" β
Over the years, he has registered several scripts with the Screenwriters Guild, and this realistic sci-fi script is one of them, and it is also the project that Duke once mentioned to Scarlett that the female characters alone support the entire film.
Originally, he planned to wait for Scarlett to be more mature a few years later before taking out the project.
But after returning from Cannes, Duke specifically asked Nancy to ? Josephson learned that things were as if they had happened, as the object of William Morris and even the entire Hollywood Jewish power, Natalie? Portman is ready to charge for the pinnacle of his life.
William Morris packed a movie called "Black Swan" and pointed straight to the Oscars two years later.
Duke has never been a generous bad guy, if it was a year ago, he would have sat back and watched everything happen, but now, he definitely wouldn't have such thoughts again.
The first post-80s Oscar for Best Actress? It doesn't have to be Natalie? Portman's head, and she is not the only outstanding Jewish actress in Hollywood.
Scarlett? Johnson closed the script, "It's interesting, I'll take it!" It's just that space scenes are a bit troublesome to film. β
Taking a sip of black tea, Duke advised, "I'll find someone to do special training for you, this film won't start planning until next year, you have enough time, I have confidence in you." β
"Well, I'm confident too," Scarlett said, rolling her eyes, "if I don't do well......"
"It's okay......" Duke interrupted her, raising a frown, "I'll tie you to a rocket at JFK Launch Center and let you go out into the skies and experience what it's like!" β
Scarlett shrunk her neck and turned to look at Tina, who was sitting next to her. Fei, "Will you help me then?" β
Tina? Fei shrugged her shoulders, but didn't say anything.
Duke is busy with the promotion of "Fury Road" and Spielberg is running the announcement of "The Adventures of Tintin", the two films collide head-on, although the two have never made statements against each other, but there are always some people and the media who are afraid of chaos in the world and want to provoke the relationship between the two to turn into a vigorous fight.
It's true that Jewish power in Hollywood and the media industry is strong, but anti-Semitic groups are not without it, and if two prominent Jewish directors can go toe-to-toe, it will certainly be an outcome they would love to see.
As soon as he walked out of the venue after participating in the promotional event at the Santa Monica Commercial Plaza, Spielberg was stopped by a reporter.
"Steven......" The reporter stretched out the microphone, "The Adventures of Tintin was selected to be released this weekend, is it aimed at "Fury Road", it is said that Duke was the original? Rosenberg was involved in the crackdown on DreamWorks, are you unhappy with him? What do you think of Duke? Rosenberg? β
Spielberg took a deep look at the other party, the relationship between him and Duke was indeed average, but there were no serious personal contradictions between the two, let alone business competition that broke through the bottom line.
"In my opinion, Duke? Rosenberg is one of the best Hollywood directors, and he represents the present and future of Hollywood......"
At their level, even if there is competition, they will not easily start the battle, which often means unpredictable results.
And Spielberg is too old to be as impulsive as a young man.
It's not just Spielberg who is being asked this kind of question, but Duke as well.
The plane arrived in Houston, and Duke had just stepped out of the airport when he was surrounded by a group of reporters waiting there. (To be continued.) )
