Chapter 125: Failed Works (Ask for Subscription)

This time, the premiere of "Invasion of Evil Spirits" is larger than the scale of "Saw 2" last time, and there are dozens of media invited by Twentieth Century Fox alone.

Not counting some small and medium-sized media that are not on the invitation list.

To put it bluntly, neither Twentieth Century Fox nor the crew of "Invasion of Evil Spirits" will invite those gossip tabloids, and a word of love will not come.

As a result of Twentieth Century Fox's constant propaganda warm-up, a lot of half-truths and half-truths were written.

For example, there were many supernatural events during the filming, the crew suddenly disappeared for a few days, and Robert De Niro, one of the actors in the film, found himself sleeping outside his apartment all night, etc.

So even if there was no invitation, there were still many gossip tabloid reporters rushing over, all of whom paid for tickets themselves, just to get first-hand news.

On the top of the audience, there were a lot of gossip tabloid reporters.

Camelot Singer of Twentieth Century Fox also sat below, quietly waiting for the premiere to begin.

However, he was thinking about the current situation in the summer season, if the box office of "Invasion of Evil Spirits" was as predicted, it could not meet expectations.

Then Twentieth Century Fox will inevitably miss out on the entire summer market.

He will face accountability from the company's top management and the board of directors.

Of course, if Ryan Gosling can continue to be successful, "Evil Ghost Invasion" will eventually surpass $80 million at the box office, no, even more than $50 million.

It can be said that Ryan Gosling's success is not luck.

At the same time, he can also be exempted from some accusations.

Camelot Singer likes to be in control of everything, but right now he prefers miracles, a miracle that belongs to Ryan Gosling, and at the same time a miracle that belongs to Twentieth Century Fox.

Of course, once Ryan Gosling continues to be successful, Twentieth Century Fox will inevitably devote more resources to a director who can continue to succeed.

The best way is to buy Ryan Gosling's studio and tie him to the chariot of Twentieth Century Fox completely.

As time slowly passed, the premiere gradually began, with Kevin Bakken, Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman, Julia Louis DeDuanfuss, Robert De Niro, and others, each taking the stage to interact.

During this period, Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman almost didn't quarrel.

provoked a burst of laughter from the audience below, and no one would think that this was a real quarrel, but just a small link prepared by the crew.

For the two underage girls, both the media and the audience are very tolerant.

On the other hand, a few people on the side were all nervous, for fear that the two of them would really quarrel.

Everyone knows that it wasn't a show effect at all just now, and Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman didn't have any acting ingredients, so they really almost quarreled.

Ryan, who was watching it, had a dark face, and quickly interjected, separating the two of them.

As a result, the film has begun to play on the screen, and Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman are still hostile to each other.

Ryan shook his head secretly, too lazy to pay attention to the two underage girls before the idiot would intervene in a boring quarrel.

On the screen, the opening screen belonging to Twentieth Century Fox appears, and several huge English abbreviations of Twentieth Century Fox flash by, indicating that the film is produced by Twentieth Century Fox.

The beginning of "Invasion of Evil Spirits" is very simple, with only an old woman, who looks completely different from "Chainsaw".

However, as the music played, the next moment, the horror suddenly came, and the old woman writhed like crazy, writhing her limbs wildly, making inhuman movements, and finally fell to the ground and died.

The camera pans to Kevin Bakken, dressed in a sportswear, directing the players to train.

The next scene is very uneventful, Kevin Bakken comes to his ex-wife's house, packs his personal belongings, and brings Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman back home.

—————

Along the way, the father and daughter created a very warm picture.

Originally, the audience still had some faint expectations in their hearts, but when they saw this, they couldn't help but be a little impatient.

"Hell, it can't be a literary film!"

"No thrillers, no unknown murder plots, it's terrible. ”

"This is not Ryan Gosling's style, is the crew a different director!"

Fast shots, thriller gore, and unknown murder processes are the style of Ryan's previous works.

"It seems that Ryan Gosling wants to make a transition and doesn't want to continue making horror films. ”

Bill Pullman shook his head, and it is not difficult to see that the details of the film are handled, revealing the intention of transformation, and said: "Unfortunately, this film will be a failure." ”

"Failed works!"

Kate McGowley stared at the picture on the screen and said without looking back: "I think this is a very good film, a broken family, which has a great impact on the growth of children." ”

For the growth of children?

What the heck!

Bill Pullman was speechless, but he couldn't refute it, and he couldn't say that for a horror film, bloody violence is what the audience wants to see.

In the United States, family issues, children's issues, and opposition to violence are political struggles. Once you say something that praises bloody violence, it is easy to provoke a siege by the media.

As the main plot of the film unfolds, the Dead Soul Box appears again and is brought home by Scarlett Johansson, and some female viewers can't help but get nervous.

Inside the bedroom, the moths flying everywhere, the disgusting scene, and the mysterious fingers that appeared in the depths of the throat all indicate one thing, there is an evil spirit hidden in the box.

If it is placed in other films, such a plot is at most mysterious and terrifying, and there is nothing special about it.

However, in "Invasion of Evil Spirits", what reminds people of is not a horror scene, but a father's concern for his daughter.

Even if it is in the face of an unknown evil spirit, as a father's innate responsibility, or it can also be said to be a kind of protection, choose to stand up and duel with the evil spirit.

"Responsibility, Protection!"

Kate McGoley muttered to herself, "A great film. ”

Isn't it good-looking!

Probably not.

At least many viewers in the audience felt a little disappointed, not the expected Ryan Gosling horror film.

As a veteran singer and actor, she knows one thing very well, no film can please all audiences, and there will always be people who find it difficult to see, so many films will choose a suitable audience group, such as Disney's choice of all-age children.

Obviously, the film chose a female audience.

"A very insightful director can turn a vulgar film into a box office miracle. ”

"Obviously, that's what Ryan Gosling is. "Kate McGolie is highly rated.

The appearance of a Jewish priest finally seals away the evil spirit and frees Scarlett Johansson.

Seeing this, the Hollywood people below looked at Ryan in front of them and couldn't help but show a trace of disdain.

Judaism!

What the hell!

Nothing more than to curry favor with the Jewish community.

"Sure enough, it's Ryan Gosling's style, and it's never been offline. Someone muttered something quietly.

No one would openly attack a Jewish priest, even if the plot did not correspond to reality, no one would point it out.

Doing so will only offend the Jewish community.

At least at this moment, the corners of Kate McGoley's mouth twitched, and her expression became a little stiff.

However, she had to admit that it did win the goodwill of the Jewish community.

Throughout the screening, Camelot Singh's attention was not on the screen, but on the expressions of the surrounding audience, so as to judge whether a film was a failure.

To his disappointment, as expected, most of the audience had impatient looks on their faces, and only a few female viewers seemed to be deeply attracted by the content of the film.

"Ryan Gosling!"

"Did you expect it a long time ago?"

Camelot-Singer recalls Ryan's promotional proposal, as if it was right on top of the women's group, as if he had anticipated the scene in front of him.

However, the female group!

Although the United States has always promoted freedom and equality, the problem of discrimination against women has not changed much over the years, and the social status of women has not been very high, and few film companies will promote it against women.

In addition, film companies generally divide the audience into several groups, such as children, youth, students, etc., and there has never been any such thing as a female movie-watching group.

Such a risky publicity method made Camelot Singer a little hesitant to continue with the original publicity plan or choose to continue to focus on the female audience.

It's a hard thing to decide.
