Reborn I am the second generation of stars

Chapter 1318 Countless bad reviews
Sitting in front of the office, Bang Bei looked very bad: "At present, "Pearl Harbor" can only be released in about 3100 theaters."

Bang Bei was very upset, because as far as he knew, "Home Alone" premiered in nearly 3600 theaters. Don't underestimate the gap between the [-] theaters. The difference in box office is huge.

It can be said that he lost at the starting line before the film was released.

However, this can only show that the test screening of "Pearl Harbor" is worse than that of "Home Alone". The double B scores of audiences and theaters in the test screenings of "Pearl Harbor", and the double A+ scores of "Home Alone" are not at all based on Language and friendship can bridge the gap.

Hollywood is very, very realistic. A bad word of mouth is a bad word of mouth. Although a movie with a good reputation may not be a big hit at the box office, the probability of a movie with a good reputation is far greater than that of a movie with a big box office.

Those theaters want to make money, so they naturally won't make trouble with money. The reason why so many theaters gave "Pearl Harbor" is because of his personal appeal in the past. After all, Bang Bei is not an ordinary director. An important commercial director in the United States and even in the world.

Another failure of the preview of "Pearl Harbor" was to invite those veterans to watch it. They thought that those World War II veterans would buy them, but in fact these veterans were so arrogant that they didn't buy any of them.

They have experienced the baptism of cruel war, and now they may die at any time, and they are not interested in exploding shells at all. "Saving Private" can't even catch up.

What the hell is this shot about?War doesn’t have any realism, it’s like a romantic firework show, but a lot of main plots are used to describe a bloody love triangle instead of a cruel war. The director’s head is obviously abnormal, who would be like this Not taking war seriously?

When these veterans were interviewed, they said directly: "What is this filming? There is no respect for war at all."

"I was very heartbroken when I saw it. The war is so cruel and serious, and he actually took pictures of it."

"Is this person eating too many brain-dead movies? I think he should go back and shoot explosion movies. A movie that can only shoot explosions wants to touch serious war themes. This is simply a blasphemy against this theme. Such a person Go back where you came from."

"Is this a war movie? Why can't I feel it? This is clearly a movie about a love triangle. The war is just a foil. The way the movie is shot is disrespectful to that battlefield!"

. . . . . . . . . . . .

These comments made Bang Bei very upset. Although his previous movies often had bad reviews, this time it was different. The epic movie he shot this time still needs a high reputation.

Even veterans are not willing to watch it, so ordinary audiences are willing to watch it?If ordinary audiences are really willing to watch it, it won't be a B score, which means that ordinary audiences don't buy it, and this is what worries Bombay the most.

He doesn't pay attention to veterans or film critics, because this is no longer the era when film critics can call the wind and rain, and the era of film critics calling the wind and rain has completely passed away.

Ordinary audiences are the most critical factor in determining whether a film will rise at the box office.

Although the veterans are very dissatisfied, under Fox's public relations, it is difficult for their words to appear in the mainstream media. Moreover, in this era, as long as the media uses clever means, the veterans are sometimes the focus of public attention, and sometimes they are abandoned objects. , the key is to see if they have value.

The production cost of "Pearl Harbor" was as high as 1 million U.S. dollars, and the publicity and hype in advance were quite in place. Although Bang Bei was despised by Xu Qian, his previous works were more popular with the market and mainstream audiences, so "Pearl Harbor" has just been released. The box office reached 4000 million U.S. dollars in three days, and it also successfully won the second place in the box office in the first week. As for the champion, it is DC's "Poseidon".

"Sea God" can be said to be DC's turnaround work, with big scenes, big production, great special effects, and the choice of actors is also very good, so it became an instant hit. It earned 300 million at the box office in the first week, and won the This week's box office champion.

"Designing a cool battle suit that is both aesthetic and practical, and can also complement the underwater environment has become a difficult problem. For this purpose, the design team used more than 2500 kinds of materials, and the most difficult one is the Poseidon's golden armor. 3D printing technology requires several teams to work together to complete the production.”

This is one of the reasons why "Poseidon" has been successful, and that is heart.

"The exquisite pictures and exciting fights in the film make up for the loopholes in the film's narrative. During the two-hour bombardment of special effects, it is difficult for the audience to take time to think. But when the audience walks out of the theater, they wake up from the burning and explosion. When you come here, you will feel that there is nothing worth remembering about the movie except burning. When you think about the theme core and character creation of the movie, you will find that there is no essential difference between the movie and the previous popcorn superhero movies. , "Poseidon" is just a flashier image that masks the thinness of the narrative and characters." - "Film Weekly".

"Different from many DC hero movies that have already formed their own system, "Poseidon" is a beginning work that is open to everyone. , and miss the point of laughter, can’t understand.”

"A good sci-fi movie is especially important to have a clear, complete and fascinating world view. The most shocking thing about "Sea King" is this. In the past, it could only appear as a ruin in novels or documentaries. Atlantis presents itself in front of the audience with a brand-new look. The picture scroll of harmonious coexistence of marine life and civilization technology is dazzling. This underwater world built between light and shadow is full of a powerful charm that blends epic and science fiction.

From the original point of view, this time "Sea King" is not much novelty, so while the movie uses dangerous actions to connect the sense of compactness, in addition to the inevitable love, it also gave birth to a love story. Belonging to one's own passionate core, that is self-confidence.Neptune has low self-esteem because he can talk to fish since he was a child, but in the end this skill has become a key point in the development of the plot. The heroic road of "Sea God" is how an individual overcomes inferiority complex, faces himself bravely, and finally strives to The process of becoming a better self, accompanied by just the right scenes of passion, the film's successful settlement of this core, finally formed an attractive force of empathy. "

""Poseidon" is a superhero movie that combines science fiction, adventure, action and other elements into one, and what is even more rare is that Wen Ziren combined so many elements into a whole in an orderly manner, making this movie from the ocean A touch of surprise not only ignites people's blood, but also fascinates them."

This is what the film critic Roosevelt said about the film.

The evaluation of "Poseidon" is obviously very high. The opposite of the high word-of-mouth is its high box office, and the Chinese director Hot Spring also became famous in the first battle.

Hot Spring is also very well-known throughout Asia. It is not easy for a yellow man to gain a foothold in Hollywood, but Hot Spring has done it. Obviously, he is very powerful and unstoppable.

The opposite of "Poseidon" is the extremely poor reputation of "Pearl Harbor".

After learning about the box office of "Pearl Harbor", Bang Bei breathed a sigh of relief. The box office of more than 3000 million US dollars is not good, but it is not bad. As long as it keeps going, it will not be a problem to pay back.

But then the negative reviews all over the sky dealt him a severe blow.

"The love triangle of blood and thunder has a dime relationship with war, which is far inferior to the previous "Saving Private"."

"I think it's easy to shoot very successful subjects, but the director didn't. He did half of the work, and turned to emotion when he was done."

"A beautifully made film, regardless of photography, soundtrack, including actors. It's just that the storyline of such a beautiful film is relatively bad, even bloody. It's a pity that the shell of this beautifully produced film. Especially the soundtrack is majestic and yet not lost Tenderness, a classic soundtrack."

"The scene of the war blockbuster + the plot of the war blockbuster + the actors of the war blockbuster, it's a very well-behaved Hollywood-style film. There is no creativity or breakthrough, but there is nothing to blame. The impression is not too deep, mainly because these faces are similar. Movies are easy to confuse people's nerves. The cliché love triangle story wrapped in Hollywood blockbusters and historical war blockbusters is very, very clichéd."

"Is it necessary to describe the love triangle in such detail? Nearly half of it has nothing to do with Pearl Harbor. It is said that pure love is unreliable, and you should start early. War is a bird, so it is better to engage in a triangle. The plot logic is insufficient, but the dazzling explosion is impeccable! I Hit you, bang baby."

"Basically, Bombing's movies have no emotional lines at all. So this time interspersed with such a love triangle scene is undoubtedly unfamiliar, vulgar and extremely bloody. Of course, the skills of the blasting master are still revealed in the bombing scene Undoubtedly, especially the easy and quiet prelude, which uses contrast to brew emotions, and pokes the tear point quite well, but I would also say that this film is rubbish."

"Wori... the final ending of the love line is really jaw-dropping. If you want to wear a cuckold, you must bear the weight... In fact, it is not too good to leave only the war line. It is necessary to fight back? Pure American heroism It’s very vulgar to watch now. In fact, the attack on Pearl Harbor was really shocking. When I was a child, I was so impressed by the hand stretching out the Arizona, it almost became the shadow of a nightmare. And, the music is really classic and will be passed down forever.”

"By the way, the male second is too cannon fodder, and he didn't even post a poster == so it's only natural that he died in the end

I want to say that it’s enough for two people to fall in love with the same person. Isn’t it good for the first male and the second male to be together? Really, two people depend on each other for life, and it feels good to take care of and trust each other. For a woman, this What's the matter. "

"Bangbo's love scene was shot too much. The movie can't be called Pearl Harbor. It's misleading. Harmonious, this movie is very strange, but the story of love with beauties and handsome guys is still a bit more watchable. To sum it up, it is a well-regulated war movie and a passable romance movie. It can only be said that Bang Bei has tried his best. He is this level director, he can't make any classics."

"There is no respect for historical facts, and the exaggeration is excessive, but for commercial blockbusters, the eyeball effect is enough to hold up the box office; half of the emotional scenes are excluded, and the rest is pretty good; the male lead will always be a cup."

"The most tasteless love line in the history of blockbusters. Could the two male protagonists be more boring? Kate is like a movie star laborer all the time. I almost want to thank the island army for throwing bombs and interrupting them."

"After watching this movie, you can truly appreciate the horror of the script of Love of the Ship and the level of guidance of Cameron. Everyone said that the story of Love of the Ship was simple and old-fashioned, but this plot is terrible. A good story can't do that!"

. . . . . . . . . . . .

All the bad reviews, if you say that one bad review may be a troll, but with so many bad reviews, you can't simply describe it as a troll, but this movie is really, really bad, super super bad.

imBD's score is only 6.2, and this score is gradually declining: "The literary drama and logic are so simple and crude that it is unbearable. Who gave Bombay the confidence to make a war epic movie like this."

The score of Rotten Tomatoes is not too high: "It's too rubbish, it's far worse than "Saving Private". This is a big special effects movie with love skin."

The movie "Pearl Harbor" also deceives domestic audiences, because this movie is well-made, with big scenes, and every shot is beautiful. Whether it is background special effects or combat special effects, they are definitely the best in this era From the perspective of special effects, the huge production cost is not in vain.

But this can't hide the flaws in the movie's logic, as well as the dog blood of the love triangle. American audiences are used to seeing big special effects movies. For example, which step of the DC and Marvel series is not a big special effects movie?

Even if the "Transforming Robot" series filmed before Bangbai is a movie with great special effects, the reason why these movies are so popular is because it is refreshing. Its positioning is a popcorn movie, and its positioning is to make you feel good.

But this time after the explosion, he did not intend to play this game when he was filming "Pearl Harbor". Instead, he planned to break through himself. He planned to play a little deeper, so he engaged in a love triangle to add humanistic factors, hoping to be under the big theme of war. It interprets the joys and sorrows of people, trying to use the emotions between people to contrast the cruelty of war.

His idea or ambition is excellent, but his ability cannot support him to realize his idea or ambition, which is the most embarrassing thing for him.

The saddest thing for a person is not being able to recognize himself clearly, and then doing things that he is not good at. It is obvious that Bang Bei is such a person. His actions not only did not make him break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly, but made himself in a dilemma.

"Pearl Harbor" is now facing great challenges. On the one hand, it comes from "Poseidon", which is the revival of DC, with a very luxurious lineup. Although DC is not as successful in movies as Marvel, it is also a big IP, isn't it? General commercial films can be compared.

Another challenge is naturally "Home Alone". "Home Alone" will be released a week later than "Pearl Harbor", but it occupies more theaters than "Pearl Harbor". The number of theaters will drop further, and this is what bothers Bang Bei the most.

Explosive is very annoying. It is not that he has experienced failure since he was in the movie, but if he fails this time, it will be extremely difficult for him to turn over. This is definitely not alarmist.

"I hope the box office won't drop so hard."

Bang Bei prayed silently in his heart, he couldn't do anything else, because the box office was beyond his control.
