Chapter 139: An Amazing Miracle

For the general public, the entertainment industry in '93 is extremely boring, since the hit "HA2" caused a public opinion counterattack, the New Year's Eve award-winning movies have been more or less affected, because people feel that those film critics like to rely on their own preferences to step on the high and praise the low, this kind of news asymmetrical guidance makes them disgusted, and it is precisely because of this that the newly released movies in '93 are basically all on the street - "Groundhog Day" released in February, even if Bill Murray takes the lead, it only won more than 70 million box office, "Peach Deal", which was released in April, even with Robert Redford and Demi Moore, the box office can only exceed 100 million, and as for "President Foggy Water", which was released in May, after a month of screening, the box office only collected 63 million.

And this is more than half of the ninety-three years, the top three at the North American box office.

That's right, the top three combined, are only 230 million.

Compared with previous years, this kind of achievement, it is simply written all over the thighs, how can it be described in a miserable word?

As a result, fans who are looking forward to good works and media who are looking for topics have focused their attention on the summer file.

The first is the release at the end of May, Stallone starring "The Heroic Wind", and next, the dinosaur movie.

In fact, almost all of America, almost all of them, now have a delusion:

'As soon as my eyes are closed and opened, why is it that Roland's movie is released again? ’

It's not been half a year since "HA" exploded, and "T2" exploded again; It's been less than half a year since "T2" exploded, and this guy went to MJ's MV to brush his face again, and then many people played a game in "Hook" where everyone came to find faults; "Hook" was released for half a year, and it was the news that "Jurassic" officially started filming, and it didn't take long for it to be a love scandal, followed by "HA2" was boycotted by film critics, but with the support of loyal fans, the case was overturned on the spot, and now, half a year later, it is dinosaurs again.

Roland seems to be a tireless machine, shining in front of the public, if all are bad movies, then the media can still criticize him to make money, but in the case of the audience applauding and the movie is a big hit, the word model worker may be the best description.

Of course, these descriptions are for outsiders, and compared with the public who are looking forward to it, Hollywood is shocked by the turn of James Cameron and Steven Spielberg, who doesn't know that Cameron likes Spider-Man? And now, the copyright of Spider-Man has quietly come to Roland's hands, coupled with the rendering of grapevine: what did Spielberg think that Cameron couldn't make this kind of movie, so he snatched the copyright over; What did Cameron say when he learned that Spielberg was going to steal the copyright, and then called Roland to his house and beat him up; What to say anymore Spielberg learned that Cameron had beaten Roland, and asked Roland to call Cameron to his house and wanted to have a real hand-to-hand fight with him, Cameron was not to be outdone and fought back on the spot, but accidentally injured Roland's buttocks, causing him to be unable to get out of bed to shoot in the short term, in order to compensate for his own mistakes and plug Roland's mouth, the two reached an agreement and helped Roland get the copyright......

In short, no matter how the news spreads, the unlucky one in it will always be Roland, but even if Roland is portrayed extremely miserable, no one will feel sorry for him, because the big guys know that the copyright is in his hands, and whoever he looks for to shoot it will be a shoot.

Compared with other producers who are desperate to find a director and wait to hand the script up, the Jewish gang is not afraid of finding no one to film, even if they really don't agree with Cameron, they can pull out a bunch of substitutes, close to Chris Columbus, Robert Zemeckis, Ron Howard, and a little farther away are all A-coffee, if this can't be found, they can also end up on their own, you know, Spielberg himself, after "Schindler's List", for the first time, there is no plan to arrange, As a guy who knows how to make movies with his eyes closed, with him as a substitute, how can others sympathize with Roland?

They want Roland to die!

Less bounce in front of their eyes and be upset to watch!

But they weren't happy, and they couldn't stop the Universal, which was advertising there, the 30-second trailer for the Super Bowl final, the spray-painted signs on public buses, and the huge graphics on landmark buildings...... Although the IP of "Jurassic" is tightly held by Spielberg, Universal, which has a fixed investment share, has also invested a lot, after all, it is too rare for directors and leading actors to be able to kill a lineup of all ages, and every one percent of the people they influence now, they can at least earn millions more at the box office!

Maybe it's because they know that once this year passes, Spielberg has the possibility of standing on his own, so the tolerance given by Universal on the two movies is very different, and the previous situation where the premiere was held in Los Angeles is different, this time, they directly moved the venue of the premiere to the National Building Museum in Washington, and then in order to block the mouths of those film critics, they also put an honorary doctorate from the University of Montana, a paleontologist at the Montana Rocky Mountain Museum, and a dinosaur fossil touched with their own hands. And Jack Horner, who is the technical consultant for the dinosaur image of the whole movie, was invited to the scene.

Eh, didn't you say HA2 didn't follow logic?

We don't need to let you spray "Jurassic Park" this time, just pull the academic bigwigs over to support the field, if you pen sticks think there is still a problem, then spray him!

Have you ever seen a dinosaur with your own eyes? Or did it start in the Jurassic and live until now?

This is the same as the later "Interstellar" moved out of Kip Thorne, the mathematical black hole model given by others, and the black hole scene of the physical principles that he calculated, even if some film critics want to spray, they have nowhere to write!

How do you accuse? Do you understand?

If you really understand, then you're still a fart film critic!

As for whether there are any bugs?

As long as it is a cultural work created by people, it is impossible to be free of bugs!

The most typical is the Western Xia in "Tianlong Babu", because it is in the West, the Song people call it the Western Xia, and they call themselves Bangni Dingguo or Bai Gao Daxia and the Western Dynasty, but the book is a mouthful of 'I Xixia', which is the same as the sentence 'I filial piety', and the scalp of people who listen to it is numb.

And this is because of the low threshold for reading literary works, so everyone can blame it, but if it rises to the height of mathematics, physics, and astronomy, film critics will not be able to spray, regardless of whether those professors are wrong, as long as the name is smashed, the public will believe their statements more, so Universal directly canceled the so-called film critics test screening.

From the perspective of archaeology, no film critic can understand it better than Jack Horner, and from the analysis of film professionals, none of those keyboard warriors can beat Spielberg's ......

In this way, there was a situation, on the day of the premiere, people from the outside world didn't know anything about the movie and the main creative lineup, but in this kind of 'we don't know what the whole movie is about', the data analysis agency still put the movie in the first place at the box office of the year, and the North American Cinema Alliance directly gave more than sixty percent of the film schedule, if it weren't for Stallone's face, this data would have to be pressed up.

There's no way, when the film market is cold for half a year, the theater chain will point to this movie for dinner!

It doesn't matter if it looks good in the end, the lineup explodes anyway! You go get me some money first!

This situation also amazed everyone in the circle.

They believe that as long as the quality of the movie is not bad, it will be firmly in the top position this year, and Roland Allen will also reach the top for four consecutive years!

Although it can't be compared to the old and stalwart Clint Eastwood, reaching the top and finishing in the top 10 are two different concepts!

…………

"Cole, meet again......" Mike Mohami, who was wearing a suit and combing his hair into an adult, opened his arms and hugged the oncoming guy hard, "When was the last time we met?" ”

"In December '91, the premiere of 'Captain Hook'." Cole Nedhan, who already has a tendency to be bald, has a red nose on his head, laughs and pats Mohami on the back, and after parting, he also hugs Aaron Adhan and Frank Pierce on the side, "Thank you for the invitation, oh no, you should thank your boss Roland ......"

"I heard that your company was bought by him? What do you think? Look at your state, the development funds are very sufficient! ”

Although he has not been in contact with Cole Nedham, Roland still asked Mohami to send the invitation on the day of the premiere of "Jurassic Park", and after receiving the transoceanic letter, this guy who has to watch a movie every day jumped up excitedly, rushed into his boss's office with the invitation, and then asked for leave in the envious eyes of the other party.

"Yes, it was acquired."

Because we had chatted by email before, in the face of this colleague who used to make games, Aaron Adhan did not hide it, and said with a smile: "The finance, management and all kinds of troubles that we didn't understand before were all taken over by the president who settled in, but he never cared about our R&D content, if we had ideas, we all called Roland directly, as long as we can convince him and make him feel interesting, then the R&D funds will be in our hands the next morning." ”

“Wow! That's a lot more cost-effective than selling into those big companies! Kol Nidhan raised his eyebrows, very surprised.

"Yes, it's because he plays games, so he understands that making money is not the first choice for game companies, as long as players find it fun, then they will naturally support the company." Frank Pierce nodded in agreement, "Doesn't it feel great?" Why don't you quit your job at HP and come along? Although our company is not as good as HP, we work for our hobby! ”

"Oh, forget it." "I used to write games because I needed money to buy storage devices, and unlike you who like games, I like movies......"

"Then you can quit your job at HP and move your stuff to California together!" Mike Mohami didn't think there was anything wrong with it, "It's much more convenient to watch movies in California than in the UK, right?" If you spend some time with Roland, you might be able to go to the set! And isn't that what you've always wanted to know? ”

While queuing for tickets, the Blizzard triumvirate is also constantly encouraging Cole Niedham to move his movie database from the UK to Los Angeles, in their words, the behavior of eating big is addictive, and working in a place where the boss says, 'You can do it yourself, as long as the public thinks the game is fun, then you do it', the kind of life that turns on the computer and buries your head in the day, but it will feel extremely fulfilling.

And the proposal of the three of them, also made Cole Niederhan a little moved, in fact, from the tidbits, biographies, film plots and other functions have been launched one after another, he found that the matter of generating electricity with love may not last long, if there is no capital injection, these fellows who volunteer to work don't even have the money to buy a server to store the database, and before coming to the premiere again, he even thought about it, and when he goes back, he will talk to those universities that cooperate with HP to see if he can rent a school server for free.

He didn't want his interests to die, but if all the interests in this world became bigger, they would burn money!

"I'm not in a hurry to resign, I've always lived in the UK, and I have to go back and think about it." While showing his invitation to the security personnel for inspection, Cole Nedham also changed the subject, "Let's go, watch the movie first, I've been looking forward to dinosaurs for a long time." ”

"Yes, today is the premiere after all, let's go see the dinosaurs first, and we'll talk about other things later."

The Blizzard triumvirate did not object, but entered the venue with a smile.

…………

In fact, Cole Niederham's expectations for the movie "Jurassic Park" are very complicated, as a guy who is obsessed with movies because of "Jaws", he expects Spielberg to make a fascinating movie more than anyone else, his fascination with the picture is far beyond ordinary people, and the villain who can be shaped in "T2" makes him see the hope of a film revolution.

Because of Roland's relationship, after meeting the master who had been thinking about it day and night, he included Roland's personal movies in his collection, but to be honest, after watching "HA2", he was a little disappointed in Roland, the kind of book called tribute and actual plagiarism, which really made him not love, but he can also understand that under the kidnapping of capital, Roland's group of guys did not crawl on the old stalks, but renovated the jokes, this kind of change is not easy.

It's not easy to return, and creative stagnation is not something fans want to see, and even though "HA2" has brought people countless laughs, Cole Niedhand doesn't want him to bring this helplessness into "Jurassic Park".

Because of this, after the boring premiere speeches and speeches, he sat down in an orderly manner, and directly untied his bow tie - in the state of mind full of anticipation and fear of failure, the museum temporarily used as a screening hall, the lights dimmed, and the Universal logo that would not change for hundreds of years and the Amperin Entertainment logo that had not been animated at all also appeared.

Movies with the theme of dinosaurs are not new in Hollywood, or in other words, they have long been filmed.

But it's a pity that those movies are all bad movies, and they belong to the dead in the survivor bias, because most of the movies don't have dinosaurs at all, and the rest of them are hand-drawn freeze-frame pictures.

In this case, the invited guests naturally wanted to know what Spielberg had configured, and at the beginning of the movie, the director had already magnified the trick: in the background of the dark moon and the high wind and the murderous night, a container loaded with unknown creatures naturally attracted everyone's attention; The workers with the Jurassic Park logo on their heads, holding stun guns in their hands, stared at the slow-falling box with a worried face, and when the container landed, the strange screams and the sound of metal collision due to shaking made the workers on the side even more frightened, and under the guidance of the head, they pushed the box to the docker.

"Unlock! The unloading group retreats! ”

"Open the gates, quick!"

At the order of the chief, a black worker climbed to the top of the container.

When he pressed the unlock button, pulled the gate hard, and wanted to open the connection between the container and the docking device, a frog chirping similar to being thickened and sharpened, suddenly came, and the next second, Ben was still switching to the camera of the gate opener, a phantom that could not be explained, but everyone understood, from right to left, suddenly attacked, with its action, the container that was still attached to the docking place was suddenly knocked open, and the worker who stayed at the top of the container was unstable and fell directly, before he struggled and wailed, The worker who fell to the ground seemed to be grabbed by the throat of fate, and the whole person jumped inward against common sense.

"Shut the door! Don't let it get out! ”

With a nervous roar, the workers with the stun guns instantly stepped forward, and when they pushed the stun gun head through the hole in the hole, or in front or back, they shoved the stun gun into the container, and carried out the 'monster' inside. Taming', the wail because of the pain, made the audience frown, and just when they guessed the director's intention to shoot this scene, the picture on the screen, from left to right, walked around the container, when the sudden burst of electricity reflected the inside of the container and day, the lifelike dinosaur face, instantly appeared, the pupils that were still looking forward, seemed to have discovered the existence of the camera, due to the vigilance and instinctive transfer of natural staring, directly giving people the illusion of 'it found me'!

“Fuck! Is this really a dinosaur? ”

"Wow, wow, wow! Its eyes turned? ”

“Oh,My God! How this was filmed! ”

Although the whole picture is only two seconds, if you don't concentrate, it's easy to miss this scene, but this short picture is amazing enough! No! It should be said that it exceeded the expectations of everyone on the scene!

Even if it was just a glimpse, the delicate skin texture was like a hammer, knocking the guests on the scene dizzy, and the moving eyes made them even more creepy!

Before that, regardless of whether it was a dinosaur movie or a monster movie, even if it was a close-up, I didn't dare to bring a real scene, because just a virtual scene would give people a feeling of patch, but now?

Not only did I give a big close-up, but my eyes also moved!

What does this mean?

Does this mean that Hollywood's technical bottleneck has finally been overcome?

No!

This means that with this opening shot alone, this movie has to explode!

"It's amazing, is this thing made on a computer just like T2?"

"Can anyone tell me what technology ILM has mastered?"

"This is definitely a landmark movie, and I don't think I will be disappointed with the next dinosaur images!"

Regardless of whether it is an insider who was invited by the Universal, or an outsider like Mohami who got the invitation by virtue of his connections, or those media reporters who want to criticize but can't criticize, at this moment, no guy can calmly treat such a beginning, because they have never heard of it! See the unseen!

For them, everything that is shown on the screen is simply a miracle!

Compared with them, Cole Niederhan, who has watched thousands of movies, sat up straight, his eyes widened, and even his breathing became short, the excitement of watching "Jaws" at the age of eight made him clench the armrest beside him, and the emotion when he first came into contact with the movie made his eyes moist, and he was still suspicious before, but at the moment his heart was only amazed!

"It's so beautiful, it's so beautiful......"

"As pretty as that shark, no! It's prettier than a shark! ”
