Chapter 1105

In 2012, this is the year of lanli.

The Almeida theater version of "les miserables" is sweeping the world, gaining a lot of praise from the industry, writing a new chapter in Lanley's career, and early becoming a big hit of next year's Tony and Oliver awards.

The reputation and box office of "tomorrow's edge" achieved a double bumper harvest. As a commercial film, it proved lanli's strong market appeal, and personal film income made a breakthrough at one stroke, keeping pace with Robert Downey Jr.

The invincible myth of lanli continues. Not only art films, but also commercial films such as "speed and passion 5" and "tomorrow's edge" have won numerous praises without exception. This is a miracle and a myth. After winning the Oscar at the beginning of the year, this young actor's pace is still unstoppable.

All the way to the official point of "detachment".

Of the 20 media reviews, 11 received positive reviews, eight negative reviews, and one neutral mixed review. The comprehensive review of the media scored 55 points.

At the Berlin Film Festival at the beginning of the year, "detached" ushered in a frenzy of discussion, with praise and criticism intertwined. The double treatment of ice and fire completely grilled the entire production on the fire. The final score of the official magazine was only "2.34". Among the full four points of evaluation, they only gained 2.3 points.

In other words, at the beginning of the Berlin Film Festival, "transcendence" was a work that failed to pass. Now when we come to the North American continent, we still fail to pass the comprehensive media review. This is not a surprise.

Among the many comments, three media gave 25 points of ultra-low evaluation and launched a fierce attack on the film. They generally believed that——

"This is a work full of malice to the audience", "it has no meaning at all", "it is good for nothing except emotional fragments", "is the love story between a handsome teacher and a lovely minor legal?" the whole story is full of self righteous soliloquy "and" it has no persuasion at all "

Bad reviews, bad reviews, or bad reviews, all eight media gave terrible bad reviews, and the lines were full of rejection and disgust for this work. The most direct comment said, "it's a waste of time and money, and it's also a waste of life. There's no need to watch it at all.".

Although "chaotuo" is an author's film, it is not friendly to the audience; However, it is far beyond the expectation to encounter such serious bad comments and even personal attacks.

For Tony kayer, he was not surprised. The black water shipping company, which had never been able to complete the creation after the official intervention, encountered more terrible treatment in the shooting stage. In a sense, this is exactly the original intention of Tony's creation. He said, "only when he was really stung, the reaction would be so intense.".

Compared with criticism, what Tony dislikes even more is the lukewarm and lukewarm reviews, which seem neither good nor bad. This is the most terrible insult to a work.

But for Lan Li, such treatment is the first time in his career.

What's more terrible is that in those bad comments, lanli's performance was completely ignored. He just criticized, criticized and criticized. From the director to the actor, he totally denied the efforts of this work.

Of course, among the first batch of comments, there were eight media with extremely bad comments. In addition, there were 11 media with high praise.

Among them, the "new Yorker" once again strengthened its position and contributed the best in the first round of evaluation.

At the beginning of the Berlin Film Festival, the "new Yorker" gave the highest praise. After this screening, they reiterated their position that "this is undoubtedly the best work since 'Fahrenheit 911'. How much people hate it, it's excellent."; How much people hate it, how good it is. "

"In addition, Langley hall is undoubtedly one of the best actors in this era. His performance is full of strength and profundity. It is like a heavy fist, which strikes the soul hard and reverberates far away. To watch Hall's performance and really feel the baptism of art is too rare for contemporary film creation. He's the kind of actor who will never let you down and surprise you. "

As the sharpest and most unique magazine in New York, "new Yorker" is always so clear-cut about love and hate, and will not be stingy of their praise and pursuit. This time, it is no exception. At the end, it was matched with 88 points of evaluation, which is basically equal to the "3.54" they gave at the Berlin Film Festival, and the flag clearly expressed their position.

In addition, the praise of the media also comes from other aspects——

"Wonderful expressive force, enlightening theme", "the chemical reaction between the actors is undoubtedly amazing", "this is a better performance than 'crazy love'," time will prove the value of this work "," brave, bold, innovative, unique "," the picture ending in the desolation of imagination is undoubtedly the best of the year "

In sharp contrast to the bad reviews, the good reviews are also rolling in. This paper analyzes and praises the works from various angles and aspects. The most common view is that the tacit understanding and sparks between the director and the actors create an impressive work, which is undoubtedly a victory at the artistic level.

Extreme praise, extreme criticism, extreme support, extreme opposition, it is in these two extreme comments that the "detached" score has reached 55.

It's a bad thing, but it's also a good thing.

Compared with the situation in which the "miserable world" is all concentrated in the central rating area, it is not hot or cold, not good or bad, not high or low, which really makes people not interested; However, the situation of "detachment" is extremely hated by those who dislike it, and loved by those who like it. On the contrary, it has aroused more enthusiasm for discussion. At least from the perspective of topicality, it is positive.

However, such a positive factor, "detachment" does not seem to be useful.

Because, whether it's bad reviews or good reviews, all the professional film critics have reached a consensus: this author film is really very, very unfriendly to the audience.

Obviously, from the very beginning of designing the work, Tony kayer did not intend to please the audience. This work is not for ordinary audiences to enjoy at all, but for exploration and exploration at the artistic level. It would be better if he could go into the library in the future and provide more fans with historical reference materials.

Just like Ingmar Bergman and Michelangelo Antoni, they are masters and masters, but their works are not appreciated by ordinary audiences, and even many advanced movie fans can not fully understand them.

If you count the box office of these masters, it will be a disaster. The so-called box office feedback is originally a way to express commercial attributes, rather than a way to present artistic values.

Although Tony Kaye is far from the master; However, the creative idea and technique of "detachment" are full of experimental nature, and the unfriendliness to the market is written in the gene.

Therefore, even though the two extreme reviews of ice and fire have aroused countless interests, it still has little help for the box office of the film.

In the first week of December, after experiencing the "detachment" of four spots, Seattle still started its own expansion step in an orderly way. Seattle joined the city scope of spot screening, but the number of spot screening theaters only increased from 14 to 21. The number of screening theaters in the three cities is still very small, and more senior professional audiences are expected to support it.

This week, the turmoil caused by media reviews, the exposure brought about by the London premiere of "les miserables", and the wave of discussion under the comparison between the film version and the drama version all became the gimmicks of "detachment" to attract more audiences.

In the end, the box office performance of the movie was not bad. The box office of a single studio did not fall, but rose, and returned to $34000!

For the fifth week in a row, the box office of the film has maintained at more than 30000 US dollars, which has finally set a historical record and become the first film in the history of film to achieve such a feat.

After all, the number of outstanding works at the box office of a single studio in the early stage will drop, either the pace of expansion will be accelerated, or the audience source of art theaters will drop; There are not many works like "detachment" that gradually ignite the focus of the topic, and at the same time can maintain the hot topic, which is even more rare.

Five weeks after the screening, the box office performance of "detached" finally has some topics.

However, compared with the data of 21 theaters, the total box office is still not commendable.

On the other hand, under the multiple effects of various aspects, the success of "detachment" still hasn't been very popular. Even lanli's market appeal in independent art films hasn't been able to turn decadence into magic. Then, there are really not many things to be happy about.

The day that the media have been looking forward to has finally arrived——

"Waterloo of blue".

After creating records and achievements in a row, lanli has unconsciously achieved success in both word-of-mouth and box office for six consecutive works. Since "speed and passion 5", the box office of four consecutive works in North America has exceeded 100 million yuan, following Tom Cruise and Will Smith, and is becoming a new generation of box office stars.

In this way, the rising momentum of Langley is endless, and there is no end in sight. This makes people ask a question:

Is it the actor who has a unique vision for selecting works? Or does the actor have real market appeal and every work has been successful? So, when is the actor's first career on the rocks?

Now, the answer is finally out.

"Detachment", which has become the Waterloo battle of lanli, from word-of-mouth to box office, both ushered in a new career low. So, is it just a one-off accident, or is it a turning point in the career of an actor?
