Chapter 542: Stirring Up Hollywood
"Diablo 1: Original Sin War, a masterpiece comparable to World of Warcraft, is making its debut."
On "Popular Movie", film critics were the first to comment, "Last night, I completely witnessed the birth of a new fantasy classic, which is "Diablo 1: Original Sin War". ”
"In the past, I was actually very dismissive of this movie."
"This movie has already had too many halos from the beginning of filming, and it is the same classic game adaptation under Blizzard as "World of Warcraft", which is also produced by Blizzard's scriptwriter, and is also jointly invested and produced by Universal Pictures and Gold Group, and is also provided by Weta Digital."
"It's fair to say that there are so many similarities to World of Warcraft that everyone has high hopes for him and thinks it's the second World of Warcraft."
"But I don't see it that way."
"There are too many examples in history that tell us that when we are full of expectations about something, it often turns out the opposite of what we imagined."
"So I wasn't interested in this much-anticipated film at all, and I didn't even want to go to the premiere, and if it weren't for the editor-in-chief of Popular Cinema giving me a ticket, I'm afraid I wouldn't have witnessed a classic fantasy work."
"Yes, a classic, not a classic of the plot of this movie, but a classic of special effects of this movie, which uses special effects to the point of reaching the peak."
"Weta Digital is one of the top VFX teams in Hollywood, and they handled the magic and monsters in this movie as if they were real. It makes people look like it's real, and I can hardly see any fictional elements in it, if it weren't for the fact that I knew it was just a movie. ”
"Here it is. I advise all fans, if you are watching it with the mentality of watching the plot, I recommend that you don't waste tickets at the cinema, but if you are holding on to enjoying the excitement, then I solemnly recommend "Diablo 1: Original Sin War" to you, it will definitely make you worth the money. ”
The reviews of "Popular Cinema" immediately caused a sensation, but all the fans who watched "Popular Cinema" aroused a trace of interest.
As for the inside, it says don't watch the plot. They simply ignored it.
In these years, who watches the movie or the plot, the plot is important. But the gorgeous special effects are more important, as long as the logic of the plot is not too hard.
"It's a work that is purely stacked with special effects."
"Contemporary Cinema" does not have a high evaluation of "Diablo 1: Original Sin War", "I don't know what is good about "Diablo 1: Original Sin War"? Compared to the grand World of Warcraft, Diablo 1: Original Sin War looks so petty. ”
"Maybe someone is going to say it. The monsters of Diablo 1: Original Sin War are subtle. The magic in it is gorgeous and colorful, and compared to "World of Warcraft", it is much more refined, but I want to say, what does this have to do with whether this movie is a classic or not? ”
"Is it true that good special effects are classic? If that's the case, then it's good for everyone to play special effects, and what kind of plot do you have? Throughout the ages, how many works with good special effects have hit the streets? Without it. It's because the plot is not good, so the audience can't understand it. ”
"This "Diablo 1: Original Sin War" adheres to the same petty family atmosphere as the special effects in the plot. I don't see any other characteristics except compact, and compact movies, really don't have too much, I dare to predict that the box office of this movie will definitely not be very high. ”
"At the beginning, you may be able to attract a lot of fans to watch it with publicity, but these fans will immediately shout after watching it, and then the box office will go all the way down."
"What a broken prophecy."
With a snap, the head of Pacific Cinemas still put the newspaper on the table, "These film critics are becoming more and more lawless." ”
Why is he so angry?
The reason is very simple, their Pacific Cinema Line is the main theater of "Diablo 1: Original Sin War", except for a few art theaters in the Pacific, other theaters are lined up with "Diablo 1: Original Sin War", it can be said that he and "Diablo 1: Original Sin War" The fate is tied together.
The reason is very simple, in order to schedule "Diablo 1: Original Sin War", he took the initiative to cancel "Crazy Stone", if the box office revenue of "Diablo 1: Original Sin War" is not ideal, I am afraid his position will have to be changed.
So he can't hear the bad news about Diablo 1: Original Sin War right now.
"Diablo 1: Original Sin War, I rely on you now, if you are on fire, I will definitely go further, but if you fail, I will also bury you."
On the Internet, the comments of "Diablo 1: Original Sin War" are like tea.
"It's so good, it's so good, it's worthy of Blizzard's online game adaptation, Diablo 1: Original Sin didn't disappoint me, it's just amazing."
"I think it's pretty, but don't you think it's a bit small? Compared to World of Warcraft, the scenes in Diablo 1: Original Sin War are too small, and it would be nice if the scenes could be bigger. ”
"The plot is different, the boss of "Diablo 1: Original Sin War" is a corpse that is angry, if he makes the scene bigger, what should the three demon gods in the back do? Is it impossible to break through the sky? ”
"I envy you for going to the premiere, I want to go to the premiere too, but unfortunately I didn't get a ticket, woo."
"Don't worry, anyway, it will be released on a large scale tomorrow, I believe that with the strength of the Gold Medal Group, it should be distributed to the whole of China!"
"That's not necessarily, have you forgotten the tragedy of World of Warcraft last time? It was only released in first-tier cities, a few second-tier cities, and none in third-tier cities, and I still waited for dozens of days to wait for a large-scale release, which almost made me angry. ”
"Probably not this time!"
"Why not, it was like this last time, I was depressed, but fortunately I saw it at the last moment, otherwise I wouldn't have been blind."
"Death is not blind, such an exaggeration, come, I will burn you paper, you must bless me to see "Diablo 1: Original Sin War" underground."
"Roll rough."
The Internet is boiling, but everyone who has watched "Diablo 1: Original Sin War" is applauded, and everyone is immersed in a sea of joy, ready for the large-scale release of "Diablo 1: Original Sin War" tomorrow.
On the afternoon of the next day, "Diablo 1: Original Sin War" began to be released on a large scale, relying on the super high reputation accumulated from the premiere and the massive publicity in the early stage, as soon as it was released, there were long queues at the doors of all movie theaters.
You don't need to calculate, you just need to look at it to know that the box office of "Diablo 1: Original Sin War" will definitely not be low.
So they collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
On the morning of the third day, the first-day box office of "Diablo 1: Original Sin War" finally came out, and the first-day box office of up to 22 million Huaxia coins immediately shocked a vote.
Qi Xiangdong's face smiled directly.
broke 20 million box office in a single day, "Diablo 1: Original Sin War" can be said to have had a bumper harvest in China, although it did not break the record, but in a number of Hollywood blockbusters, it is second only to "Titanic".
At the beginning, "Titanic" was praised by a certain bigwig, and the momentum soared, everyone was curious about what the movie praised by the bigwigs was, and the government chartered it to watch, it can be said that "Titanic" took advantage of it in China.
But what about Diablo 1: Original Sin War? Its fame is only limited to the two circles of movie fans and game fans, of course, with Li Lin's fame, he has spread to the music scene, as for other places, some people may have heard of "Diablo 1: Original Sin War", but they will definitely not be interested in it.
It is not even chartered by the government.
Without this piece of income, it can be said that "Diablo 1: Original Sin War" can still achieve such a high box office, which can be said to be a great miracle.
If the Chinese box office of "Diablo 1: Original Sin War" of 22 million Chinese coins made the gold medal group and theaters laugh, then the performance of "Diablo 1: Original Sin War" in the global market made Universal Movies completely smile.
$63 million!
The global box office of $63 million broke the single-day box office of "World of Warcraft" in one fell swoop, and forcibly increased it to $63 million.
This number is enough to survive as the box office weekly champion in the off-season of the movie, but in the hands of "Diablo 1: Original Sin War", it is only a first-day box office, which surprises many people.
"Obviously, it's a credit to the game, not to Universal." Sony's spokesman said sourly: "If it weren't for the massive number of fans of Diablo all over the world, coupled with the successful adaptation of World of Warcraft, Diablo 1: Original Sin would never have achieved such a high box office." ”
He has a reason to be sour.
Even "Titanic", when it was released, the box office in a single week only fluctuated around 80 million, while "Diablo 1: War of Original Sin" had reached 63 million on the first day, and the gap was enough to make people feel hot.
"We're thinking we're going to test the game adaptation market." A spokesperson for Time Warner also said to the media: "Whether it is "World of Warcraft" or "Diablo 1: Original Sin War", it has been proven that the approach of adapting games to movies is feasible, and big investment also has the benefits of big investment, and we believe that the next "World of Warcraft" will not be in Universal Movies." ”
The whole of Hollywood has been stirred up by "Diablo 1: Original Sin War", if "World of Warcraft" is just a special special, then "Diablo 1: Original Sin War" is already a regular rule, they have reason to believe that the market for game adaptations has matured, and Universal Movies picked the first peach, but it does not mean that all peaches are Universal Movies.
