Chapter Ninety-Four: The 'Deserted' Summer File, the Gameplay of 'Flipping the Table'

When the long highway kept retreating, and Sarah Connor's inner monologue slowly came out of the stereo, the list of staff scrolled out on the gloomy screen, and at this time, most of the audience would get up and leave, but the audience at midnight tonight had no intention of moving-

Unlike those chick ficks, this group of big men stayed here, not to pursue the sponsor of the end film, for them, which brand of motorcycle Arnold Schwarzenegger was riding, whether the children's clothes on Roland Allen could be bought, these one-sided things did not matter at all, because whether it was full of joy and joy in the heart, or the sadness and thoughts that haunted the heart, these different emotions caused by watching the movie have nothing to do with the filmmaker's shape.

"It's really exciting!"

"It's even better than the first one!"

"Arnold in the first part can't make peace, has no emotion, doesn't know fear, and the meaning of existence is to kill Sarah Connor, but in this one, after there is no human existence, they fight more happily!"

"What no one else can do, these robots can do! Especially the shot of Arnold taking out the shotgun from the rose box and stepping on the rose is simply cool! ”

"Yes, yes, yes, and the footage of the T-1000 chasing Roland! Arnold controlled the throttle with one hand, blocked Roland in front of him, and then raised his shotgun and exploded the vehicle directly! It's so handsome with sunglasses! ”

For these big boys, the biggest experience of entering the cinema is the passionate picture.

As long as you play well, as long as you punch to the flesh, as long as you give the camera a force, their first impression score can be directly exploded.

"Terminator 2", apparently does just that.

Unlike other sci-fi action movies, the two main characters, T-800 and T-1000, are not human, they don't feel pain, they don't get tired, and they can fight without sleep until the end of their lives.

In this case, the fight of the hard bridge iron horse is addicted to the audience, the kind of picture of the hands being captured, the head turns into a hammer, and directly knocks you away, but they can see their adrenaline surge, especially when the governor's fist turns into a pile driver, smashing the recoverable T-1000 fiercely, the feeling of playing arcade when he was a child and killing is even more in his heart.

Like those female viewers who like to watch romance movies, this kind of real action movie is what many male viewers like, and as long as they watch it well, it becomes a matter of course to blow it up directly.

Of course, many viewers have not forgotten that they can abandon their families and children in the middle of the night to watch movies in the theater, what is it, love and responsibility? No kidding...... In fact, many fathers came to help their children test mine clearance, and came to fulfill their dream of a sequel to "Terminator" seven years ago! Many people have even thought about it, and when they go home after they have had a good time, they tell their children that this movie is more bloody and not very suitable for you to watch......

The T-1000 directly stabbed John Connor's adoptive father in the head with a hand knife!

How can such a bloody picture be shown to your precious child?

Want to get them to pay a few more times?

Isn't that a joke?

And yet—

Wait until they're done.

The big kids who thought they would be able to satisfy their hunger after watching it once they watched it didn't seem to be enough......

Such a wonderful movie, it is completely worth buying a video collection!

In this way, after making eye contact, they who stayed at the scene immediately expressed their opinions with clarity......

"Roland Allen did a good job?"

"You think so, too? It doesn't seem like I'm alone! ”

"When he was teaching the T-800 how to communicate in a human way, the high-five was so heartwarming."

"Yes, yes, especially in the final factory battle, when he tried hard to find the T-800 and hoped that the other party could protect him, that kind of longing for his father might make my two naughty little guys feel something......"

"There is also the picture of holding the T-800 and saying goodbye to him, my daughter hasn't hugged me for a long time, when I took her to watch "Home Alone" last year, as soon as she came out of the theater, she hugged her mother, and now, it's my turn......"

Although many viewers don't know each other, although they don't know each other's living habits and company addresses, when the feeling of a social animal appears together, the heart of making up the rhetoric makes everyone at the scene laugh immediately.

The boring life on weekdays is enough to make people feel irritated.

Now, there is a movie that can make you feel good and happy.

If you don't watch it twice, isn't that sorry for yourself?

However, when they thought of a rhetoric, on the daytime of July 3, with Roland Allen and the children as a shield, they took them into the theater to watch the movie, facing the screen, the curious children could not understand those things......

The fight is indeed handsome!

The movie is indeed violent!

The scene of the fierce fight can really bring a lot of children into it!

But—

When they took their father's hand and walked out of the theater, their faces were full of excitement, but they were full of curiosity about everything, and they asked their father about the doubts in their hearts, but what ......

But it has nothing to do with warmth.

"Oh! Dad! Roland with bangs is really handsome! Can you take me to the barbershop, I want to cut a diagonal bangs too! ”

“Dad! Can I sit at the table and eat like Roland? ”

“Dad! How much money is in an ATM? Oh no...... I'm asking if you can buy me a computer? I'm interested in computers! ”

“Dad! Do you know where the motorcycle Roland rides is sold? I feel like it should fit my ......"

What is the essence of innocence?

On the basis of ignorance and fearlessness, carry forward the spirit of breaking the casserole and asking the end!

The core of the film that experts pay attention to is never the first point that ordinary audiences understand, and the rhetoric that ordinary audiences realize through divergent thinking is even more distant for children-

What self-termination of the T-800 embodies Cameron's soul torture after the rapid development of technology?

What T-800 turns on the backup power at a desperate moment, drags the broken body, and also protects John Connor, this plot is an alternative portrayal of the most lacking perseverance of human beings?

What Sarah Connor's personal monologue at the end of the movie is a powerful bashing of single-parent homeschooling methods?

No kidding, okay-

How can children understand these things?

Although many adults are sure that this movie is not bloody and violent after watching the midnight scene first, and are moved by the gains and losses of John Connor in the film (that is, they want to watch it again), and feel that their children can grow up after watching this movie, but-

The idea is beautiful, the reality is skinny.

For the vast majority of children, or for those who have watched Home Alone, at the beginning of the film, John Connor, played by Roland Allen, uses JAY's dragging appearance to fight against the cool of adoptive parents, which is what excites them!

And the rebellious riding of their own motorcycles, using their own clever skills to crack ATMs to get a lot of cash, is even more yearning for their body and mind!

Especially the picture of Roland raising his eyebrows and smiling, the corners of his mouth skimming, and blowing his bangs with a weak voice, it is even more handsome!

What single-parent family child desires?

What is a strong backer that can make children grow better?

What complete family can bring the most comprehensive age-appropriate education to children?

Do you expect eight, nine, or ten year olds to understand this?

Do you expect those rebellious teenagers in their teens to be able to watch the film preach?

Do you expect those who are targeting the sea of stars to grow and change because of this?

It's just a dream, okay?!!!

Why is Home Alone attractive?

Isn't it because the protagonist in the film has done what countless children want to do but can't!

And what about Terminator 2?

It's the same!

No matter who it is, in the process of growing up, there will be a situation where they are unwilling to listen to their parents' teachings;

No matter who it is, when you are in adolescence, you want to be the most beautiful boy in the class, whether it is a cool shape or a handsome motorcycle, these are all weapons to attract girls;

No matter who they are, they want to have an endless amount of money so they can buy what they want and play the games they want......

And now, Roland Allen in the movie has done it for them again!

Parents are annoyed? Talking about letting yourself do housework every day?

Oh! Then you have to be careful with the T-1000! John Connor's adoptive father, but he was slaughtered by him!

Is it legally forbidden for children under the age of fifteen to ride motorcycles alone?

This is not scientific! John Connor's motorcycle in the movie is for us to ride!

Don't have any money? Is the pocket cleaner than the face?

John Connor's amazing computer technology can make ATMs pay infinitely!

If Roland Allen in "Home Alone" satisfies the absurd dreams of children abandoning their parents, staying at home alone, and enjoying everything, then "Terminator 2", for children, is an upgraded version in disguise.

What family, what parents, that's all bullshit!

After watching the movie, what the children want most is to have a T-800 to protect themselves, just like Roland.

Bullied yourself?

That makes the T-800 beat the bullying guy out of the!

Someone robbed of your own things?

That made the T-800 shove a shotgun into the guy's mouth, and he wanted to see the watermelon explode!

You really don't want to do your homework?

Report to the teacher, my T-800 lit my homework as a cigarette......

People don't take young people lightly!

Expect these guys who haven't experienced social beatings to understand the implications?

Isn't that a fuss?

After watching the movie, when they go home and talk to their neighbors, these children don't have any deep ideas.

All they know is that—

"Oh! The movie "Terminator 2" is really handsome! That liquid robot inside is just amazing! Any crevices can be drilled in the past, and they can be deformed at will! ”

"Roland Allen is really cool! I've already told my dad to buy me one when the green jacket comes on the market! ”

"What? You haven't watched the movie yet? Then I won't tell you - wouldn't it be a spoiler if I told you that Roland in Home Alone was racing on the road with a devil robot in Terminator 2! All I can tell you is that he really doesn't play John Connor and Kevin Kevin McAllister! If Kevin is more timid, then John is a guy who can deal with robots! And he's very smart! He got the money for the whole movie! Moreover, although he didn't shoot the shot, he saved his mother with the T-800 and prevented his mother from destroying the T-800, and he is the key character in the whole movie! ”

It doesn't matter if the children can't read it!

One-sidedness and connotation are just two points in one thing!

There is a feeling, that is your brain is invincible, dripping with joy, that is the release of your true feelings!

No matter what the big audience and children see, as long as they feel comfortable physically and mentally, this is enough!

As long as they feel that this movie is worth the few dollars in movie tickets, that's it!

Therefore, when adults take children into the theater full of yearning, two hours later, when they happily hold questions and walk out of the hall, the different degrees of satisfaction are the most successful part of the whole movie.

A good work is not able to move everyone, everyone's knowledge is different, experience is different, experience is different, social level is different, want to make them satisfied with a thing, it is simply a dream, a really good work, is to let everyone who watches, can see what they want.

Social animals want to vent, they want to fight heartily; Men want to be strong, and the T-800 is what they are working towards; The guy with the superhero dream can fantasize about himself as the T-1000 that never dies; And those women who are worried about their families can also see their own shadows in Sarah Connor; As for children, whether they are cruel creatures or children full of innocent fantasies, they can find their own point and face from John Connor.

Because of this, with the release of the film, those colleagues who went to the theater to watch the movie secretly had very mixed feelings.

Every year, Hollywood produces hundreds of movies, but those classic characters can be counted on one hand.

If last year's most successful role was Kevin, who was able to capture all the children in America, then this year, John, who showed rebellion on the screen and grew up with the children, gave Roland another point.

Kevin is the soul of Home Alone, there's no doubt about that, but what about John?

Everyone believes that the soul of the whole movie of "Terminator" is the T-800, but John is actually its companion lotus, and the whole story starts and may end because of John.

No one knows whether the trucker will make a third part, but they understand that as soon as Roland makes a shot, it will be two series.

Not only that, as a family-friendly movie, "Home Alone" actually doesn't have any classic shots in it.

Many people can guarantee that soon after watching "Home Alone", they will forget all the content in it, and only the protagonist Kevin, that mischievous smile will remain in their brains.

And John Connor, it's different, the picture of him and the T-800 high-five, will inevitably become a classic scene that the audience will talk about and will not forget for more than ten years, because the children can't understand it now, it doesn't mean that they can't understand it in the future!

When they really grow up and start to reminisce, this scene, just like 'ET and the little boy's fingers touching', will become some kind of iconic classic, become the representative of the actor himself, and stay in the hearts of the audience forever.

For actors, the ability of monoclonal antibodies at the box office is very important, and award nominations are also very important, but compared to them, the classic picture is more important, just like Tom Cruise's squinting smile in "Top Gun", like Little Plum and Shredded Meat facing the sea in "Titanic", just like the little girl in red at the end of "Schindler's List......

These classic shots can make people eat for a lifetime, and the power of feelings is not just as simple as monetization.

Many people can't wait for a classic in their lifetime, let alone keep their figure forever, and how lucky is Roland Allen? The first movie broke the Christmas record, and the second movie can be framed on the wall?

Such good luck made many peers jealous, but no one could do such a thing as pulling him.

Peers are enemies, this sentence is not false anywhere, watching others jump along the way, but they are standing still, that kind of envy, jealousy and hatred can easily destroy a person's soul and make them do something irrational.

Those means that I will pull you off the horse if I don't succeed are just for ordinary people.

is like Charlie Cosmo's kind of guy who enters the circle when he wants to film, flies all the way with the big guy, quits the circle if he doesn't want to film, and pushes the contract at will, no one will be angry with a guy like Lisel Matthews, because-

I can't ignore them!

Roger Ebert didn't attend the premiere but wrote a bashing graded film review, which can't be hidden from insiders.

Although the whole thing can be explained by James Cameron, or the distributor of the film, sending a copy to each other alone, but who would believe this kind of thing?

Compared with those official news that follow the crowd, they are more willing to believe that this is the first voice of the financial owner behind Cameron.

Although I don't know if Roland, who disappeared with them at the premiere party, was involved, but-

No one would gamble on their future!

Because of jealousy, so tough with those Wall Street giants?

Isn't this the old birthday star hanging himself, looking for death?

And......

Didn't you notice.

The movie at the same time as "Terminator 2" seems to be ......

Is it all rubbish?

In the entire summer of 1991, except for "Terminator 2", there was no blockbuster!

In other words, there is no movie that the audience can choose from except for "Terminator 2"!

With Cameron's last work hitting the streets, can he scare off a wave of people?

Are you kidding!

Now he is not the card god who made up "Titanic" and "Avatar" in the future!

With him and Schwarzenegger alone, can eat the entire summer file?

Even if you add Roland, plus the entire Jewish gang, they don't have such a big face!

In this way, in the face of such an unusual situation, silence is the best choice.

And with the silence of those peers, the actions of various film companies are also different from usual.

On weekdays, they will urge the North American theater alliance early in the morning to liquidate the box office data of the midnight show, but this time, they are not in a hurry - because everyone understands that the midnight show is not the best embodiment of the movie "Terminator 2", only the data on the day of release can be accumulated to prove that James Cameron's painstaking approach is not successful, with his personal and Schwarzengra's box office, it is not his fundamental purpose, only to play all the highlights of the money, can be worthy of the film investment with a total price of more than 100 million.

As a result, on the night of the third day, there was a very strange situation in the whole of Hollywood.

Party?

No.

Cocktail party?

Cancel.

Friendship?

What is it?

It is different from the ordinary situation of being full of lights, drunken gold, and singing every night, although it has long passed the end of work, the senior management of the seven major business project departments still stay in their offices, boring and spinning pens.

They do dare to cheat Wall Street's money and don't take these guys seriously, but when these jackals go down and interfere in everything, they actually want to know what kind of things these guys who use money as numbers can make.

They are all familiar with buying movie reviews, buying criticism, buying layouts, and buying headlines, but if they can play all this out and shoot directly at the MPAA, it will not be easy to squeeze the movies of their peers that have not been released......

"Use this off-market trick to monetize Roland Allen's popularity?"

"It's worthy of playing finance, and my heart is dirty!"

"Directly let Roger Ebert post a movie review, that will ruin his favor! Only this kind of cold-blooded animal will spare no effort to push one thing to the extreme, right? We...... How dare you do that? ”

"Hey...... I hope the box office of "Terminator 2" is not too good, otherwise...... That's a lot of money. ”

When Fox's business division manager held his cheek with one hand, turned the pen in boredom, and talked to himself in distress, his eyes kept staring at the project list in front of him - the project "Home Alone 2" has actually been talked about for a long time, although John Hughes has been drying them for a long time before, but after all, he is a producer who can get dividends, and refuses to get 1,000% of the money, which only a madman can do, and Joe Percy and Daniel Stern also agreed to the invitation of a 20% increase in salary, As for Chris Columbus? The director's salary has also doubled, so what really brought the whole project to a standstill is actually Roland, who is backed by Spielberg and eats and drinks.

If they could have delayed things a little longer before the announcement of "Terminator 2", but when Perelman appeared at Fox's door and wanted to sell them the "X-Men" series, they couldn't be calm.

A Jewish gang, they can still withstand it.

After all, everyone is an insider, and everyone has to play the game according to the rules.

But Perelman won't care so much about you!

What are the rules of the game, what are the rules of the industry? Have a fart relationship with them?

If they had known earlier that Perelman and the truck driver had made a big move, and these guys could directly flip the table and let child star fans cross the threshold of R-rated movies and monetize directly, then they would have already agreed to the 10 million paid by the Jewish gang to Roland!

If even child stars can play a gold-absorbing ability in R-rated films, the salary of this film will go up!

At that time, it's not about making movies, it's about burning money!

Pity......

There is no regret in this world to take medicine.

Instead of secretly regretting it and not agreeing to the conditions of the Jewish gang earlier, it is better to pray to God now that the box office of "Terminator 2" on the first day can be bleak......

However, before he tapped his forehead and shoulders with his fingers and called out Amen, the piercing phone ringing suddenly pierced the silent air at night, glanced at the landline display, and picked it up without thinking. "Tell me, it's good news......"

How can people in the North American Theater Alliance not understand Fox's mood at the moment?

It's a pity that in the face of that prayer-like inquiry, they can only silently shake their heads on the other end of the phone, "I'm sorry, the box office can't hide this kind of thing-"
