Made in Hollywood

"Before "Batman: Hour of War", I am afraid that no one would dare to make such an attempt on comics and movies like Duke Rosenberg. After all, comics heroes are far from reality. However, Duke Rosen Berg very cleverly discovered that comics and reality are most easily interoperable, that is, the character's mental journey and the emotions of the character that can be empathized by the audience, so the great "Batman" trilogy was born..."

Just like the articles reposted by movie fans on instant sharing, the box office of "The Dark Knight Rises" has experienced ups and downs, but it is also moving forward steadily.

By June, the North American box office of "The Dark Knight Rises" finally exceeded US$550 million, and the global box office also exceeded US$1.3 billion.

This box office also made many people feel speechless, after all, "The Dark Knight Rises" has gone through so many storms.

Everyone in Hollywood, whether they like Duke or hate him, are fully aware of the impact of his commercial films.

On the first weekend of June, Sky Film Studios and Walt Disney jointly invested, the production cost was as high as 260 million US dollars, and the "Alien Battlefield" released by Disney Pictures was officially released in North America.

David Ellison and his Sky Film Studio have invested more than US$300 million in the production and promotion of this film, and specifically asked Walt Disney to prepare a huge premiere for "Alien Battlefield" As the final chapter of the four-part movie he originally bought, "Alien Battlefield" can also be said to be David Ellison's last hope.

Although the film will not fail, Sky Film Studio will go bankrupt, but everyone will doubt his vision. David Ellison knows this.

Of course, he is more aware that many people are now questioning his ability, including his father Larry Ellison.

If he loses the support of his father, Larry Ellison, David Ellison can hardly imagine what the consequences would be. Having entered Hollywood for so many years, he has never been able to break away from the support of his family.

After hurriedly walking the red carpet, David Ellison was called into a lounge by his father's assistant before he could enter the movie hall.

In the lounge. Larry Ellison was deep and serious, and when he saw David Ellison coming in, he motioned to him to close the door and asked directly. "What the **** is Van Diesel's car accident?"

Hearing this, David Ellison's heart sank.

Larry Ellison then said, "Although things are not irreversible, your stupidity has exceeded my greatest imagination!"

There was already obvious anger in these words.

David Ellison wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Larry Ellison raising his hand. "Now the matter hasn't involved you, and I don't want to listen to extra words! Also, if "Alien Battlefield" fails again..."

Having said that, he gave David Ellison a cold look.

Will "Alien Battlefield" succeed? In David Ellison's view, this film has all the conditions for a big sale.

But the development of things is sometimes unpredictable, especially the market response of movies. Hollywood claims to be the world's film factory and has the most standardized production mode, but it cannot fully grasp the pulse of the market.

The premiere went well without any accidents. There is no such thing as the shooting of last month.

However, the film’s premiere and thousands of early screenings have just ended, and there has been a sound of insulting "Alien Battlefield" on the Internet, which has the fastest response, especially on the No. 1 social networking site in North America. "Negative comments soon became prominent.

"Under the great advocacy, I rushed to this long-awaited date with "Alien Battlefield" on Friday night with heavy clouds. It feels like enjoying a long-planned private meeting, but it feels like Yes……"

"This film has a lot of selling points, such as famous directors, such as high investment. For example, alien scenes... However, all of this has been suffocated by "Alien Battlefield" into a long and smelly fart, which is constantly roaring in countless theaters. !"

"First, very clichéd. The protagonist's image is similar to "Prince of Persia", and the Saturn Palace is similar to "Thor". The storyline is similar to "Avatar" and the monster shape is similar to "Golden Compass"... Then what does "Alien Battlefield" look like? It looks like everything, just not like myself."

"Second, the color is monotonous and dim. Looking at the big-selling movies, whether "Avatar" or "Dark Knight", whether "Transformers" or "Avengers". All of them are shining and not dazzling the audience. Take it without rest!"

"Third, the soundtrack tradition. I believe too much in the power of the symphony orchestra. As a result, everything is portrayed by symphony, but the story itself is full of ult and fairy tale flavor, and it is not in harmony."

"Fourth, the 3D effect is mediocre, far inferior to the previously released large-scale film "The Dark Knight Rises". This is purely the fishnet socks that were forced to wear to sell a few dollars more."

"Fifth, the director Andrew Stanton obviously thinks he is familiar with the rules of commercial blockbuster creation. As soon as the story opens, action scenes are used to hit the scene, but after two pretentious fights, it is over. Obviously, the director is very good at action scenes. Not much interest, the result is that the audience is not much interested in the film."

"Sixth, the director's bones are still the material for making cartoons. The director puts the focus of the whole film on the love between the protagonists, and that pure and sincere love is not because the heroine exposed her belly and thighs. And an extra adult taste, to put it plainly, the story is the love of the two teenagers. If you replace it with two cartoon robots, then this love will surely move the sky as well as the cruel background in the bustling reality. How can this simple love move you?"

"Seventh, the director did not understand a truth. The magic weapon of a huge commercial film is the action scene of the big scene. As long as the scene is big enough, dazzling enough, fierce enough, cool enough, and long enough, then even if the film is bad, some people will buy it. , But the big scenes of this film are always clicked to the end, not overflowing at all, how can it be satisfactory."

"Eighth, the director wants to go to the literary style. From the perspective of the whole film, the action scenes are quite a lot, but he always tastes nothing, and hastily settled within a few minutes. The two behemoths on the poster have always been Wait until the audience is about to fall asleep before appearing. They are beaten down within a few rounds. Can the audience be satisfied?"

"Ninth, the director doesn’t understand the importance of action scenes at all. The ending battle is over without a few fierce battle scenes. This is what he does! Look at the big-selling movies, whether "Transformers" or " "Avatar", the end of the battle must be high, because after watching this, the audience will have to walk out of the theater with a great sense of shock and satisfaction, but "Alien Battlefield" is good, and it won with two fists, not to mention. Added several minutes of interlocking suspense at the end of the film. Isn’t it superfluous?"

"Finally, in the process of watching the movie, every time the interest is about to be ignited, the plot will immediately cool down. When your hard object becomes soft, it will stir your nerves to fall asleep again! When you feel real When the excitement of ”is coming, it doesn’t give you any chance at all to transition to the next link. Watching "Alien Battlefield" is like a spring dream, it seems pretty beautiful, but there is no bit of **!"

Like a rapidly spreading plague, the negative word-of-mouth of "Alien Battlefield" has spread on the Internet at a terrifying speed. Even if Walt Disney and Sky Studios have made enough efforts, it is simply irreparable.

It can only be said that this film really did not suit the audience's appetite. In the subsequent interviews broadcast by the TV station, countless fans also made complaints and abuse.

"It's too much publicity. It's a simple and sleepy movie."

"Not to mention the lack of a big scene, the literary drama and logic are so simple and rude that it is unbearable. The age of the original and the low-age audience are not an excuse."

"The plot is not coherent, and the characters of the hero and heroine are not prominent. Occasionally a few highlights in the laughter remind me not to fall asleep sitting in front of the screen! People who watch science fiction nowadays are nothing but Duke Rosenberg's movies. It can be seen!"

"Entertainment movies are first for entertainment. You don’t have a lot of big scenes. You have a few monsters and mediocre action scenes. Who are you going to show? The story is plainly speaking, it’s the reverse of Superman. Superman is an alien coming to the earth. If you’re low and invincible, you’ll just turn the earth up and go to an alien planet to go to a superhero with low gravity and invincibility."

Not only in the latest survey data released by ee, the audience rating of "Alien Battlefield" is c and the popcorn index is 62%, and cinee's North American box office forecast for this film is 50 million US dollars.

The production cost of "Alien Battlefield" alone is as high as 260 million US dollars. If it turns out to be such a box office figure, the investor will definitely lose blood.

In fact, the box office trend of "Alien Battlefield" is not much different from Cinee's prediction.

On the first day of its release on Friday, the film still got close to US$5 million in the North American box office due to promotion. However, since Saturday, it has been dragged down by the bad reputation of the audience, and the box office has dropped continuously. The overall attendance rate was even lower than 5%. After three days of the first weekend, he completed the first week of painting tour in North America for only 11.38 million US dollars.

In the fiercely competitive summer file, such first week box office results are not competitive at all, let alone grab a big cake, "Alien Battlefield" is even better than "The Dark Knight Rises", which was released for six weeks. No, the latter got $12.13 million this weekend.

For David Ellison, the box office loss of "Alien Battlefield" was not the most painful. On Monday, the Los Angeles police held a press conference again to announce that the man who hired James Holmes had been caught. private detective.

At the same time, Duke, who returned to Los Angeles after finishing his North American publicity trip, also received a visit request from Larry Ellison. (To be continued.)
