"I thought it would do well at the box office,"

When the reporter was interviewing, Liu Tianxian still said in disbelief: "But I really didn't expect it to be so good. When I heard the news, I gave myself two slaps. The pain came from my face, and I realized that this is not true. Dreaming."

The reporter asked, "How do you feel now?"

Liu Tianxian patted himself on the chest: "To be honest, I still feel a little unbelievable, because I was really shocked by the box office. I really want to thank Director Lu. From "The Truman Show" to "Jurassic Park", He has been using me. When many domestic actresses in the same position as me almost broke their heads and wanted to join Director Lu’s banner, he finally chose me. While making me feel ashamed, I was also full of emotion. Motivation, if possible, I would like to cooperate with Director Lu all the time."

Today, Liu Tianxian has countless interview invitations.

The heroine is like this, let alone the hero.

As for Lu Chen.

I haven't planned to go out for the past few days, and I'll wait until the heat subsides.

However, compared to Liu Tianxian.

Tang Lei's interviews were relatively stable. When facing the interview, he was relatively calm: "I was a little surprised. It can even be said that the box office was expected. Lu Chen has always been a Stop being a director who creates miracles, plus our efforts, you will feel that it is not as incredible as you imagined. Thanks to Director Lu for his ability, "Jurassic Park" is definitely the top work in the world, and I just happened to be this part of the work."

Actresses all over the country are envious of Liu Tianxian.

But the male actors did not envy Tang Lei.

Very simple.

Tang Lei was something they couldn't envy, the king of heaven, he had to rely on his strength to climb up, and they knew how much they weighed.

But what Liu Tianxian said.

That's it, definitely a role model for many actresses.

Liu Tianxian's acting skills are not outstanding. She is very lucky to be able to cooperate with Lu Chen in "The Truman Show" and "Jurassic Park". It was quite terrifying, and it was almost predictable what kind of grand event would happen next.

Absolute horror.

5 billion at home and 5 billion abroad.

You know, China is the home game, and Lu Chen's foreign fan base is definitely not as good as domestic ones. The domestic fan base is quite terrifying, but with such a fan base, the domestic box office has not surpassed the Western box office. Widen the gap.

That's the problem.

You know, Western audiences have seen the world.

"There are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people." Judging from the comparison of film ratings between the East and the West, audiences in any country have roughly the same appreciation for movies, and excellent movies are excellent wherever they go.

It's just that some films will have different feelings due to different individual experiences at the touch point.

If "Billy Lynn" is Hamlet, then its evaluation will precisely divide its audience according to the cultural East and West.

Westerners began to accept the idea that everyone is equal and respect freedom and individuality more.

Therefore, Western culture pays special attention to the unique personality of characters, and most of the characters in Western movies have distinctive characteristics.

These personalities are not only reflected in character, but also in talent.

For example, the movie "A Beautiful Mind" tells the story of the mathematician John Jr., who was a brilliant mathematical genius in his youth and eventually won the Nobel Prize after he overcame schizophrenia.

Frank, the protagonist in "How to Get Away with Murder", is an extremely smart young man. When he was a minor, he used his intelligence to forge various bills to swindle money, and he was able to easily escape the pursuit of the police. Will in "Good Will Hunting" has a very high mathematical talent, and he can easily solve various college problems even if he has not been to college.

The protagonists in these movies have their own characteristics, in other words, they are not ordinary people.

Their stories are legends, and legends are usually recorded in biographies in Europe.

This method is very popular in Europe.

Many of today's sports or film and television stars will write biographies for themselves after the peak of their careers, witnessing their own achievements.

For example, football star Beckham published his autobiography "Beckham" after retiring, which records the dark and bright moments in his football career.

In fact, Europeans began to write biographies of themselves since the Enlightenment. It not only provided materials for film works, but also became the first-hand information for studying European culture in different periods.

In the Eastern world, this situation is rare.For example, in Huaguo, biographies seem to only exist in history books, and they are only available after death. Even the emperor seldom writes biographies for himself.

If Chinese people want to study the living conditions of the ancients, they can easily find the basis - read the poems of the ancients.

In ancient China, poetry was a part of people's lives. They wrote poems while drinking, eating, parting, and playing.

Poetry can record the living customs of the poet's era, but its more important role is to express emotion and convey meaning, that is, to express the poet's feelings and inner activities at that time.

Unlike Westerners who emphasize uniqueness, the feelings and inner activities recorded by poets are a kind of interlinked experience. In other words, the original intention of poetry arouses the emotional resonance of readers and expresses the commonality of human beings.

Generally speaking, Western movies emphasize people's innate talent and personality, while Eastern movies prefer to express the commonality of people's emotions.

And Lu Chen's "Jurassic Park" seems to have integrated the two together, otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to have such a big impact.

To put it simply, it satisfies both Western audiences and Eastern audiences.

Domestic audiences can't compete with foreign audiences, although it's not the first time.But when many professional people saw this situation, they couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

what does this mean?
Means take all.

In this case, "Alien" wants to directly increase the difficulty of its containment by several times.

It is quite difficult to grab food from the mouth of such a movie. Didn't you see that the discussion voice of the audience in "Pirate 5" has been much quieter?

And this moment.

Douban.com saw a lot of viewers flocking in again. These new viewers were all scared by the box office on the first day of "Jurassic Park" and walked into the movie theater with curiosity. people disappointed.

"This movie is popular for a reason."

"I just came back from watching the premiere ~ Dinosaurs are really smart, they can open doors with short hands ~ But Nima! My mother is really scared to death!"

"Technology in the film industry allows ancient prehistoric creatures to transcend time and imagination. The technological progress at the core of the plot makes human beings lost and even arrogant, losing awe and trying to challenge everything that controls nature. Whether it is the exciting entertainment charm or the epic visual effects and soundtrack, people will yearn for it even if it lasts for many years."

"The classic of monster movies, the milestone of blockbuster special effects movies! Lu Chen created a fairytale-like and real world of dinosaurs for us!"

"The Jurassic period is every man's childhood dream. Dinosaurs are every boy's best pursuit."

"The visuals of the film are very shocking. Human desires and greed always want to dominate certain things but lead to catastrophe! The film is also interspersed with family affection and American humor. My favorite scene is that the hero and the velociraptor look for the tyrannical Tyrannosaurus rex to be handsome! The movies are pretty good, and I like movies that are worth watching..."

"Lu Chen is definitely a master of implanting special effects shots in movies. I have never seen any moment in Lu Chen's movie that makes you feel that technology has ruined the story. These moments must be real and vivid on the screen. nature."

"This is the best movie I have ever seen, and I have never given such an evaluation to other movies."

"God created dinosaurs, and God destroyed dinosaurs; God created humans, humans destroyed God, created dinosaurs, dinosaurs ate men, and women ruled the world~~~ Wahaha, I like the last two sentences! Dinosaurs are better than Sharks are much more fun, and the acting skills of the actors are good, even the young actors are very involved."

"The sci-fi classic of the era! This film is simply explosive, with rich imagination, excellent model special effects, and the thrilling second half, the friends are all stunned!"

"Movies really create dreams."

"I think even if another person takes this movie, the movie won't be that bad. This sentence is not to deny Lu Chen's talent, but to say that the subject matter that Lu Chen chose is too good. Dinosaurs. In line with the rules of blockbuster movies, Lu Chen's personal ability is likely to become a miracle at the box office."

……

It stands to reason,
The entry of so many new audiences will lower the rating of the movie, but this movie never seems to take an unusual path. If too many viewers come in, the rating will definitely drop significantly.

Unexpectedly, with so many viewers pouring in, the rating of "Jurassic Park" dropped almost negligibly.

Still 9.1 points.

Among them, the audience's rating for the option of satisfaction is as high as 90.00%. Many top film critics in China have expressed their opinions under the other side of "Jurassic Park". You must know that these film critics are the objects of newspaper media solicitation. , These people basically don't write movie reviews for free on this.

But now these people are doing it.

It can be said that it is quite a face for Lu Chen.Of course, with the relationship between Lu Chen and these film critics, it is really unlikely that he will be given face.

It's not too bad to say that it's about giving "Jurassic Park" face, but it doesn't matter, giving "Jurassic Park" face is also giving him face.

That's what Jurassic Park is all about right now.

In fact, this enthusiasm is only the beginning.

The heat exploded on the first day.

How could it cool down the next day, unless it was like the movie version of "Love Apartment", but is it like this in "Jurassic Park"?

Absolutely not.

therefore,

This heat can last at least a week.

This is still the least.

In fact, it is true.

The next day, day three, and day four were all Jurassic Park glory days.It seems that it has just begun, and this superficially simple film is creating his own miracle.

He is breaking more records.

He attracts a lot of viewers.

And this battle of the century, which the world's film and television circles have focused on, has just begun, and the winner has already been decided.

No, it should be said that other movies have been crushed out. Although the opponent is not that weak, but in "Jurassic Park", there seems to be no resistance.

On the third day, the power of "Jurassic Park" remained undiminished. The single-day box office once again exceeded 10 billion, and the three-day box office directly reached an extremely terrifying over 30 billion.

on the contrary.

The performance of the other two films in the same period was quite stretched. Among them, the box office of "Change 5" fell off a cliff. After yesterday's 5000 million, today it only got less than 3000 million at the box office.

This box office directly means that the plan to cut the film schedule of "Change 5" has been directly put on the agenda.

Fourth day.

West, inside Paramount's conference room.A group of high-level executives looked at today's entertainment news expressionlessly, and the huge projector showed the box office records from all over the world during this period...

for a long time.

Paramount's faceless big boss glanced at everyone present, and said softly: "The problem now is that we screwed up the movie that we invested 3 million ugly dollars back and forth, let alone a good box office. Now I can't even pay back the money. I thought it was still a Big Mac that others would not mess with, but it turned out to be someone else's meal. Except for the ones just mentioned above, there has just been news from Huaguo that our movie The cut-off films were cut at the middle, and all the cut-off faces were assigned to "Jurassic Park", and "Pirate 5" basically didn't get the cut-off films."

For an instant.

The people who run the company are immediately restless.

The big boss suddenly slammed and slapped the table fiercely: "I don't mind that "Jurassic Park" is popular all over the world. After all, it is because of his strength. What I care about is that "Transformers" The question of whether IP can continue to bring us income is obviously impossible."

The conference room was silent.

This is the greatest power brought to them by "Jurassic Park". An ip that has harvested the world may be about to fall, and it is no less difficult than starting from scratch if you want to start again.

It is absolutely forbidden for such a big ip to fall down.

You know, the "Transformers" series is one of the few global ips in the world, if this is how it becomes history.

That's too bad.

The so-called take-all type, that is to say, in most countries and regions, as long as there is no trouble and the filming can be done, there will be a group of audiences, and passers-by will watch it.

It is fundamentally different from a series like "Star Wars" that specializes in a certain area.

It can be said that there are only a handful of IPs that can be used in the world, and even Hollywood does not have a few series.

And several more are already on hold.

First.

There are many spies, and the highly rated spy film series is very popular, and the quality of the works is very good.

But the problem is that the integrity of the original trilogy of "The Bourne Shadow" was very high. Later, the fourth sequel changed the leading role and the word of mouth plummeted. trilogy.

Therefore, this series is currently on hold, and since "Bourne Shadow" itself is a film that tends to be authentic, it is unknown whether it will be successful in today's market that tends to be fast-paced entertainment. After all, Universal Pictures I am also a businessman, and I don't want to see the situation of "applause but not success".

the second.

Moonlight flustered.

The old horror film IP of the last century has actually released new works since the beginning of the new century, but the response is very mediocre.

However, if Lu Chen remembers correctly, this series will be restarted next year, and it will be an astonishing success. With a cost of 1000 million US dollars, it has won a global box office of 2.6 million US dollars, which can be said to be very successful. A sequel has also been approved.

wait wait wait!
As for the others...

It's also gradually going downhill.

Paramount's most classic IPs are all going downhill now.If the "Transformers" series falls like this, it will definitely be a fatal blow to them.

First of all, the "Terminator" series, a series created by Kashen, has also exhausted its potential.

In 2015, the fifth part of the Terminator series: "Terminator: Genesis", in which Arnold finally returned, returning to the film industry after ending his tenure as governor.

Even the Governor's return didn't bring the series back to life, though.

The response from the audience seemed far-fetched.

Obviously, after 25 years, it is not so easy to re-evoke the feelings of the audience.

T800 has become a myth forever.

As for the Mission: Impossible series, starting from 5, it has been unable to support it.

As for the latter 6, let alone.

Now, if the "Transformers" series falls again, how will Paramount participate in the next competition?

The conference room was silent.

Michael said suddenly: "My fault."

The big boss stared at Michael and said: "It is indeed your fault, but the success of a movie is definitely not decided by the director. Now, please give me a plan. Since the movie is doomed to fail, we have to start from other places. Get something, where is the future of the company..."

Without the support of a big ip, even if they are the top six in Hollywood, they can't last long.

……

The meeting lasted three hours.

When everyone walked out of the office, their complexions still did not improve. Obviously, after three hours of discussion, the results did not seem to be so satisfactory.

Especially Michael.

This somersault is a bit big.

As the culprit of this incident, he had considered the consequences before, but he never expected that the consequences would be so big.

It's okay to be boycotted by domestic audiences.

It was even boycotted abroad.

This is absolutely unacceptable to him.

He can accept failure, but absolutely cannot accept the failure of the "Transformers" series.

"Transformers 3" took Michael from directing the "Transformers" series to success.

Although Michael has also directed classic films like "Bad Boys" and commercial blockbusters like "Pearl Harbor" before.

But it is undeniable that "Transformers" brought Michael to the top.

"Transformers" also fully accomplished Michael.

Therefore, he did not allow the "Transformers" series to fall into his own hands.
