America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM.

Chapter 362 360. Kick His Ass

Compared with the original version of "Bohemian Rhapsody", Eric's version has been adapted to a certain extent.

The main thing is that it weakened the portrayal of Uncle Ya's arrogant and eccentric character, and portrayed him more as a person who is not good at speaking, introverted and shy.

This will indeed weaken the conflict of the film, but it will make the person more realistically restored on the screen.

Because according to interviews with Queen and people around Uncle Ya, his personality is indeed like that, and there is no need to deliberately exaggerate it for the sake of dramatic tension.

After the movie ended, there was thunderous applause in the theater.

The vast majority of people present today were fans of Queen, and the applause went on for several minutes as if it was free.

Eric clapped his hands until it hurt a little, and then the noise gradually subsided.

Wow!

Wow!
what!
But there are still many fans shouting. They are all old rock fans, people in their forties and fifties, but each of them has the energy of a twenty-year-old boy.

Some of them had painted faces and wore headscarves.

Today belongs to them, and also to Joaquin Phoenix.

His superb acting skills are enough to make people ignore his appearance and treat him as the living Uncle Ya.

"Hi! Phoenix, as a fan of Queen, first of all I want to thank you for your wonderful performance. Although I am only 24 years old, don't doubt it, I am really a fan."

hoo hoo...

The old fans at the scene immediately burst into cheers.

"How was it? Can you share the process of filming the movie?"

Fenghuangshu smiled shyly: "This is a magical experience, because we all know how great Queen is."

"When I first received the script, my agent told me that it was Eric who personally asked me to play the role."

"He said there are not many people in the world who can play this role well, and I am one of them. You know, it feels good to be recognized by others."

Eric made a confused expression. "Wait, did I say that?"

"I remember what I said originally was, there aren't many people who can play this role well, so I'll invite them all and hire the one with the lowest pay. Did your agent miss a word?"

Hahaha……

The audience immediately burst into laughter. As expected, Eric Cook was famous for his eloquence in addition to his wealth.

He always has a lot of witty remarks, and it would be a waste of his talent if he didn't become a talk show host.

When the fans' laughter died down a bit, Eric added, "But it doesn't matter. After this movie, your salary will definitely surpass theirs."

Hahahaha...

The laughter that had originally subsided rose again.

Uncle Fenghuang looked at him with a helpless look: "Anyway! I spent eight months learning to sing."

"For the last concert to save lives, the crew used more than 3600 actors. If you count it this way, I can add one item to my resume: I have performed in concerts with thousands of people."

"Then I can add one more thing to my resume: I beat up Joaquin Phoenix!" Cate Blanchett complained.

"Eight months. Do you know how I survived these eight months? You procrastinator, it's all your fault!"

"When the box office comes out, if it doesn't reach the ideal result, just wait for Phoenix, I will kick your ass hard!" The premiere ended with laughter and noise.

Three days later, as the opening weekend box office results came in, the idea of ​​Cate Blanchett kicking ass was doomed to fail.

As expected, "Bohemian Rhapsody" was a huge box office success, with a box office of more than 7700 million US dollars.

After all, Queen has countless fans, and the quality of the movie is really good, not only did old fans go to the cinema to watch it multiple times, but passers-by were also brought in.

MGM even started its publicity machine, promoting the Renaissance on major radio stations, YouTube channels, landmark buildings, etc.

Facts have proved that a good song is still a good song even after ten years and will not become outdated with time.

Powerful publicity also helped boost the box office further.

The Imdb score is 8.2, which is a very high score for a film that is not purely literary.

But what many people did not expect was that the score did not decrease as the number of comments increased, but instead rose against the trend.

从8.2涨到了8.3分，又从8.3分涨到了现在的8 .4分。

According to the current situation, the reputation may continue to rise, and it is not impossible to rise to 8.7 or 8.8.

The comments below are also very interesting. It is obvious that many middle-aged people are coming into contact with Imdb for the first time and are voting and rating their previous beliefs.

"Sitting among a dozen gray-haired uncles and aunts watching the movie, I felt that although we were several dozen years apart, we shared a period of youth."

"I originally thought that rock music, as a form of action and love, had reached its low point and had few audiences, but this movie gave me hope. The spirit of rock music will never die!"

"Can you imagine? I was dragged into the cinema by my dad. The last time we watched a movie together was a few years ago. It felt really good."

"It's a very good biographical film, which is touching and fun at the same time. Every actor's acting is great. I have a feeling that Joaquin Phoenix will win this year's Oscar."

"I was moved by Joaquin Phoenix's performance. His acting was so great. No wonder it took him eight months to prepare."

"As a big fan of MGM, the movie is still as good as ever. As long as Eric Cooper's name is listed as the screenwriter, the lower limit of this work is set."

"I agree! Eric Cooper's scripts have often exceeded the upper limit of many screenwriters and directors. If he is given another 10 years, he will be the undisputed god of film and television."

"I'm a woman and I really want a girlfriend like Mary. Uncle Ya failed her, and I will never do that!"

"Girl, you are lusting after Cate Blanchett's body."

……

A week later, the score of "Bohemian Rhapsody" rose again, reaching 8.6.

At the same time, the box office also skyrocketed, and more and more people were attracted to the cinema. The North American box office once again won 8550 million US dollars, and the cumulative box office exceeded 1.6 million US dollars.

According to the current situation, Box predicts that North America is expected to reach 3.5 million US dollars and the global box office is expected to exceed 7.5 million US dollars.

The cost of this movie was 6500 million US dollars, and this was because a large number of extras were used.

Generally speaking, using inflatable dummies can save at least more than 1000 million US dollars.

But Eric is very rich now, so $1000 million is just a drop in the bucket. The quality of the movie is more important and will be more beneficial in winning awards.

He is bound to win the Oscars for Best Actor and Best Picture next year.

And there is "Juno", this time it will at least help Elizabeth get a nomination for Best Actress.
