Chapter 1020： share the same hatred

"Hollywood Legendary Director (

"Don't worry, the results and market share of "Gone Lover" are enough for us to be the main push during this time. Next week, you will see the additional screenings on time."

"Well, we will also continue to invest resources in various media to hype."

Satisfied, he put down the phone, and Liam reported the situation to Lyman again.

But just like the kind words of the theater managers, in September, "The Robber" was able to reach the top of 12.96 million in the first week, and "Gone Lover" was about the same score on the first day, and it is naturally worth more screen row. class.

And after the first day of "Gone Lover" was released, more media columns and online film critics praised David Fincher's work with great praise.

By the way, David Finch is deeply appreciated by the film critics. The evaluation of many of his works in the film critics usually does not match the market results obtained by the works. Even if he loses, his kind of work is different from the assembly line His personal creations can always be affirmed and encouraged by many professionals.

Let's put it this way, as long as a director doesn't make a movie in a way that caters to the market, and he does a good job, and handles everything like movement, aesthetics, and narrative structure well, then film critics usually feel the need to affirm this phenomenon. , wash away the impetuousness of Hollywood.

This is also the reason why the three outstanding Mexicans later won such honors. If you just look at the results, directors like them whose style obviously deviates from the public will be "blown" too far.

But movies, you have to allow differences.

And when the film critics strongly recommended it, some interesting things happened in the road show led by the main creator.

When everyone routinely appeared on stage, interacted and invited tickets, whenever Rosamund Pike came forward, there was always a scream from the audience, "bad woman", "too cruel", "magic Amy".

Then the passers-by and organizers on the left and right will see some audience rioting, and a good road show will instantly become a "trial meeting". This scene once made Rosa reduce the number of appearances to prevent her from being really hurt by some emotional fans. .

In contrast, Nick played by Ben Affleck has won the sympathy of a lot of audiences, and after more people discussing it, driven by the general emotion, he has attracted a large wave of fans - not for three or five years in a row. Encountering good works, some stagnant and regressing stars have gained a lot of brilliance with this role.

He can be considered to have completed a gorgeous turnaround, from the handsome guy of the past to the handsome guy today, but he can play the image of a poor husband, and the screen age has obviously been postponed and expanded.

Of course, the two people in the movie are obviously a pair of weirdos who love, kill and torture each other, but it can be clearly found that Amy and Nick are treated differently.

This is actually quite normal. Most of the audience watching "Gone Girl" is from Nick's point of view, looking at a woman with such a scheming and desire to control, no one is worried.

In fact, even female audiences can't replace Amy and appreciate it.

To put it to the extreme, Nick certainly packs himself when pursuing Amy, but he is not bad in essence, and the sideline of cheating with the female student is only that he enjoys the long-lost feeling of being depended on by the female student.

From start to finish, he played Amy as a real-life doll that was tamed, raised, and trained.

You could also say that David Fincher made Amy so badly that it made Nick seem less scumbag.

However, whether it is male audiences or female audiences, it is always a good thing to market the movie because of the realism of the position.

After all, if it's just praise from critics and the audience doesn't buy it, it certainly won't be very successful for the project itself.

In the same way, with a high score of 8.7 and due discussion heat, it will definitely attract many adult groups to enter the theater.

"Gone Lover" can't make money for children, but it is undoubtedly a directional choice for those who are afraid of marriage, those who already have families, couples, and those who like to have a deeper look at the high scores themselves.

When a work is tagged, it will definitely attract the audience after the tag.

In this way, "Gone Lover" became more and more popular, and the box office accumulated more and more. Rosa, who was boycotted, was equally painful and happy. There are more happy and gratifying parts.

Because she herself is almost half-breathed. In the five years she has been married to her husband Joe White, she has only produced one movie a year on average, and most of them are supporting roles with few roles. It is obvious that she has already focused on it. run a family.

And she is also 32 years old. Although she played a negative role at such an age, she was very recognized by the audience. For an actor, it is undoubtedly a compliment.

In other words, if Amy doesn't act as a **** or hate it from the heart, then maybe that's a failure.

Is scolding sometimes the glory of an actor? Of course, it's not a shrimp here.

Anyway, if it is to evaluate the performance of the actors, Ben Affleck was actually pushed by Rosa.

Her behavioral expression, her character logic, and her psychological basis are what makes the audience instinctively sympathize with Nick.

On the next day, the enthusiasm for watching movies from the media and newspapers burned on major movie websites and forums, so that the second day after the movie was released, the average attendance rate of each theater chain was stable at about 80%, and some theaters in prosperous areas even more. Seats are full, tickets must be booked in advance.

Of course, it is understandable that more box office tickets are recorded on Saturday than on Friday. After all, on weekends off, many office workers have time to watch movies at this time. After the box office rose by about 20%, the box office on Sunday fell again.

The reason is also very simple. Although "Gone Lover" has a good reputation, it does not have a strong market foundation after all. It is an original project itself. Even if it is recommended by the audience's tap water, the market feedback is mainly gentle. Suddenly exploded.

To put it bluntly, this movie is a typical long-term operation mode. The starting point is not high, the curve is smooth, and the upper limit is the same, but considering the investment and publicity investment of the film, the price/performance ratio is already very good. Many studios have some Envy, even displeased.

For example, "The Robber", which has just reached the top for a week and enjoyed the exposure at the top of the weekly list, its producer Silver Screen Gems watched helplessly as "Gone Lover" sold 38 million in its first week, with an average of over $12,700 per pavilion. The excellent value took over the top position they also needed, and due to market compatibility, the squeezed "Robbers" earned only $6.85 million in the next week, a drop of 46%, slightly higher than their expected trend.

What else can I say? Against the background of the slightly cold film market in September, "Gone Lover" is undoubtedly a crush for competitors. The new film in the same period, Bo Wei's "Scimitar" ranked second. It only took 11.3 million...
