Chapter 789： Children, magic, epic?

"Golden Compass" is very popular.

Novel bonuses, star bonuses, budget bonuses, and Warner's help in promoting, frequently arouse the audience's idea of ​​watching movies.

On the market, news about the film is overwhelming.

For a while Nicole Kidman appeared and said, and for a while the new Bond Daniel Craig of the 007 series lasted a show, chatting and laughing with the host, and the cast is still influential.

What's more, this is the second magical epic project created by the new line after the "Lord of the Rings" series. Such a gimmick makes some fans who have been in the pit because of the Lord of the Rings trilogy impatiently wait for the film to be released.

Get out of the pedestrian street.

The largest advertising column hangs a huge movie poster of "The Golden Compass".

After the bust formed by several leading actors, a giant bear in armor lay on the iceberg, which was very impactful, as if a slap could make a hole in the iceberg.

lowest.

In addition to the title, it is also pointed out that it is the first part of the dark matter trilogy, adding more reverie.

The popularity continued to rise, and finally came the evening of December 6th.

Chief Stone Theatre.

Before the red carpet show, the surrounding streets were already filled with people and reporters.

Everyone also wants to see how shocking the 1.8 billion magic epic theme, and the second title of The Lord of the Rings, is really shocking.

In addition to the premiere, other theaters in prosperous cities in various states also began to sell tickets for midnight shows, and fans who came to support them came and went, and they sold out in no time.

It can be seen that as long as the quality of "Golden Compass" is worthy of the high ticket price of the audience, it is easy to get an extremely dazzling box office result in the first weekend with a wide range of publicity and drive the follow-up market.

Back at the premiere, the screams of fans never stopped.

Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Matthew McConaughey, Brad Pitt

In the expectation of everyone's surprise or joy, there are constantly popular traffic artists or superstars who have already become famous, one by one, stepping on the red carpet, enjoying cheers, and murdering film.

Why the red carpet never goes out of style Why does it always give people a strong atmosphere?

It is because of the full sense of ceremony.

Whenever those star actors are dressed up handsomely and beautifully, show off their attractive figures, and are surrounded by ordinary people who are chasing stars, they can't help but fall into some kind of carnival.

Pushing forward desperately, just to feel the idols more conveniently and to shorten the distance. At this time, it is difficult for the organizers to stay rational when they have a chance.

Looking at the "organized" scene, Xie Yi nodded in satisfaction.

Just as he was about to enter through the side door, the distribution manager came over.

"Sir, the tickets are all sold out, and a lot of tickets for the second show have been released. According to the statistics just now, our movie tonight will get at least more than 12 million."

"Okay, okay. Haha." Shea looked happy.

The midnight show can get so much, which is more than 4 million higher than that of "The Lord of the Rings: The Lord of the Rings", although it can't compare with "The Dark Knight", which set a record this summer, 184.89 million), but such a result is already better than the average blockbuster. Well, it shows that the audience is very eager to enter the theater.

With a different kind of relaxed mood, I walked through the process of the main creator's speech.

After some cooperation, Shay sat at the front, and the lights on the scene slowly dimmed.

night.

An elegant man walked on the quaint street, with a spirit beast beside him.

Humans and magical races live together in this world.

But only from the time of human birth, the soul entity will change into a spirit beast, and grow up with it. The shape of the spirit beast can change at will when it is young, and it will take shape once it becomes an adult.

It took a few minutes to finish the setting, and the camera came to an academy called Jordan.

And then began to pull the background, such as the management of the authority of the Holy See in the north, repression and control of the minds of the people.

Another example is the golden compass. According to legend, this dark matter handed down from the ancient century can provide all the answers.

Then, the protagonist, a 12-year-old girl appeared, who was predicted by the wizard to be the chosen one.

The next plot is that some children in Jordan College are missing one after another, and the woman played by Nicole Kidman wants to **** the golden compass from the little girl's hand, mixed with the experiment of dividing the spirit beasts in the north and the giant bear. The grievances of races, witches, and several races.

The overall viewing experience is a bit confusing.

Although the development of the story is not protracted, it is confusing, but the camera and visual effects are still good, and the processing of some scenes is even more beautiful. The money should be spent so much, and the special effects are very good.

But the problem is the magic epic, the magic epic, this shows that the magic is set, what about the epic? Could it be about a little girl who subdued the King of White Bears and defeated the evil forces?

What's worse, the final battle felt like a big show, but the witch's way of fighting turned out to be shooting arrows while riding a broom?

What about magic? Is witch magic just flying?

auditorium.

Many people followed and watched it for half an hour, and couldn't help but move their buttocks, appearing impatient.

After co-authoring and playing for a long time, it's a trilogy or something, and it's the second of The Lord of the Rings. In the end, only the picture is still exquisite? The concept of spirit beasts is good, but I don't see any brilliance. Even the main character's biggest reliance is a golden compass with a see-through hanging and a white giant bear with superior combat power wearing armor?

Slowly, some people feel cheated, and really don't appreciate the tone of this children's epic.

Not to mention anything else, at least it has to have a magical magic system like Harry Potter.

It is also magical, and the spirit beasts give people the feeling that they have had a little helper since childhood. Although they are okay and cute, they are not as powerful as magic.

Of course, "The Golden Compass" can't actually be classified as a bad movie, and the publicity stunt is not wrong.

In fact, this movie can be seen as a children's version of the Lord of the Rings.

The little heroine has no strong magic power, no old enemy and no background, and her purpose is not to save the world, but to fulfill a promise to a friend "If you are captured, I will definitely save you.").

In a way it can be said that like Frodo in The Lord of the Rings, she was given a responsibility far beyond her abilities, and she was also like Frodo only by virtue of her kindness, bravery, firmness and Frodo not having The cunning, successfully completed this task. Even the new line, in order to be closer to the Lord of the Rings, invited Gandalf to dub the giant bear.

However, it is not a system, there is no proud force value or magic setting, if the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter are the high martial worlds in the novel, then "The Golden Compass" must be the end of the law. Full of rants.

Finished the movie.

Because it was the premiere, few people left the venue. After all, there were not many opportunities to meet idols up close.

But what is there to brag about this movie?

The audience racked their brains, and remembered that the witch was sitting on the broom pulling the bow and arrow, and Nima was poisonous.

Shay sat in the front row, still immersed.

No matter how many times you watch it, it's a copy of The Lord of the Rings - the world view is quite big, the story is not told well, it cannot be said that it is bad, and the audience market is not well grasped.

After the show.

The filmmaker and the creator took the guests to the garden reception that had already been arranged.

Only the employees of some statistical companies interviewed the audience who had finished watching "The Golden Compass" from time to time.

"Do you think the movie is good? Can you rate it?"

"It's not good-looking, it's too childish, it makes me want to sleep." A young man in his early 20s couldn't help saying.

"It's okay It's not amazing, it won't make me particularly urge to watch the movie, if possible, I hope I don't buy this ticket." A man in his early 30s commented.

"I didn't get it, the movie messed up a lot of dark matter settings, but I didn't feel how powerful it was."

The interviewers do their jobs thoughtfully.

When the data was collected and handed over to Xie Yi, the president of the new line, he ended the reception happily and waited for the word-of-mouth of "Golden Compass".

"Why? Why did less than 14 percent of the audience hit a, and more than half of the audience hit a d? Is it a mistake?" There was confusion in Xie Yi's eyes. how could be?

1.8 billion, the picture is exquisite, the setting is amazing, the protagonist has done a big thing that can affect the direction of the world with his faith and wisdom. Where is the audience dissatisfied?

"It has been confirmed repeatedly." The release manager said bitingly. He was also a little hard to accept.

Anyone who is full of expectations will not be able to accept the audience's low score just after the premiere. Isn't "Dream Chasing Showbiz" also criticized for not being able to appreciate the great art this year.

The pot belongs to the audience, the producer is full of deep meaning, and the film is full of details.

But if you want to achieve results, you must first satisfy the audience, and more audiences.
