v2 Chapter 335： Worst personal drawing results

"what do you think?"

Walking out of the theater, Jane Lauder put on her sunglasses and asked Ivanka Trump, "Do you like this movie?"

"It's okay." Ivanka took out her sunglasses from her bag and put them on her face, and said, "but not as good as you said."

Jane Lauder nodded in approval, "Compared with The Matrix, there is still a significant gap between this film, but it's just a small cost..."

She thought for a moment, "The rhythm of the first half is not like Duke's style, and the gunfight scenes behind are typical Duke Rosenberg movies."

"So, the film feels a little weird." Jane Lauder said again, "there are some differences in style before and after."

Ivanka walked over and took her arm, "Stop talking about movies, let's go shopping on Fifth Avenue."

"Okay."

It’s not far from Fifth Avenue, and the two of them walked towards that side. Jane Lauder asked again, "Where are you going this summer? Are you still going to work?"

"Yes, but I don't want to be a model anymore." Ivanka? Trump said, "I haven't figured out what to do now. It is not easy to find a place where the salary is high and where I can study and exercise."

●≦, "I heard Irene mentioned it." Jane Lauder thought of something, "New Zealand is looking for an intern, you can go and have a look."

In the relatively cold spring season, especially on the weekend after the Oscars, although the number of films released is large enough, the production cost, let alone more than 10 million U.S. dollars, is more than 6 million U.S. dollars, and there is only one "Hundred Thousand Hot".

This is the coldest schedule in the North American film market. "One Hundred Thousand Hurry" basically has no heavyweight competitors, and various distribution companies will not invest a lot of resources in this schedule.

As the only film in the same period that has real popularity and the highest investment. "One Hundred Thousand Rage" inevitably became the focus of comment.

In the paper media the next day, there were many film reviews for this film.

As a film critic who watched the film for the first time, Richard Chris certainly would not let go of the opportunity to comment.

"The gun battle in the last forty minutes of the film has the style of "The Line of Fire" back then, and the intensity and duration are even higher than that of "The Line of Fire", but compared with "The Line of Fire", it depicts subtle details and unspeakably relaxing rhythm. "One Hundred Thousand Rush" is more like a shoddy summer popcorn, which has an inseparable relationship with director Duke Rosenberg."

"With his ability, he can completely turn this sensational theme into a film that deeply explores human nature and social issues. Gunfights are not impossible, but they can be taken in one stroke. There is no need to last for such a long time. He destroyed one. Can cast classic themes!"

The summer time can be said to be the worst time for film critics. In recent years, these film critics have simply turned a blind eye to Duke's summer films. Now they have seen a relatively mediocre small production with full firepower.

"Why didn't he cancel all the previous plots and shoot the shootout directly? For Duke Rosenberg, his film does not need plot at all, as long as superficial shootouts and explosions are enough. "

-"Hollywood Reporter" Todd McCarthy.

"The three-line narrative structure in the front is eye-catching, especially the film's description of family and family. It is a rare detailed emotion in Duke Rosenberg's film, but as soon as the gunfight scene appears in the back. The whole film is It was destroyed, the gunfight was too long, and the noise it made made it difficult to sit securely in the theater."

— "Los Angeles Times" Kenneth Turan.

"This is an adapted film that is seriously inconsistent with the facts. It neither shows humanity nor explores the deep-seated problems behind the incident. The family and feelings inside are only on the surface. It is like Duke Luo. The explosion under Senberg’s lens is just for sensationalism."

-"Washington Post" Ann Hodina.

"This is a professional evaluation?"

On Saturday morning, Duke was sitting in the living room in Wellington sipping morning tea, indifferently put the fax aside, and asked Tina Fey sitting in front of the computer. "Anything else?"

Tina Fei turned her head to look at Duke, and pointed to a website on the monitor. "A website related to movie reviews was established last year. It collects professional reviews from film critics in the media. It uses rotten tomatoes and fresh tomatoes. The way to express the film’s rating..."

Duke became interested when he heard it, "Is there "Hundred Thousand Urgent"?"

"Yes." Tina Fei turned her head and said, "I'm afraid the results will disappoint you. The website has collected 54 professional film reviews, and the bad review rate is over 60%. The Rotten Tomatoes Index of "One Hundred Thousand Hot" is Rotten, freshness is only 54%."

"Low enough."

Duke muttered, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then asked, "Is this the only item on the website?"

"There is another item that is scored by the general audience."

Tina Fei looked at it for a while, and changed her tone, "Congratulations, Duke, on the popcorn index that represents the popularity of ordinary audiences, the current index of "Hundred Thousand Hurry" is 81%."

"not bad."

This is an experimental film, and Duke did not have the idea that the audience's praise would be overwhelming. "It's better than I expected."

The film has only been released for more than a day. The number of people who have seen the film in North America is limited. Most people who can go to the theater to watch "Hundred Thousand Hot" are also his supporters or hidden supporters because they have a good impression of the director or the actors. It’s just normal to pay for the movie and score high.

As the number of viewers increases, the score will drop.

As for the Rotten Tomatoes Index, which represents professional reputation, Duke didn’t bother to take another look. It’s not obvious now. As the reputation of Rotten Tomatoes grows, after another ten years, it will affect the ratings of many viewers compared to imdb. The Rotten Tomatoes Index is simply a chicken rib. There are often many rotten films that represent poor professional reputation. The popcorn index behind the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is extremely high, and the relative market response is also very good.

Just like no one will use professional film critics or film critics to measure the market prospects of a film in the future, the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes only represents the opinion of a small group of only a few hundred people in North America. No commercial film will be stupid enough to value bad. Tomato freshness.

Later the development of the website also proved. Relatively speaking, it is more targeted at the audience's imdb score, which has a much greater impact than the freshness of rotten tomatoes, which has simply become a tasteless taste.

To put it bluntly, after more than ten years, let alone the Big Six companies, even the small film studios will not take the freshness of rotten tomatoes seriously. Rotten Tomatoes itself has been on the verge of bankruptcy several times.

The fax machine rang again, Tina Fei stood up, walked over and picked up the faxed document.

"Statistics?" Duke asked.

Compared to the scores and evaluations of those imaginary heads and brains, this is the focus of his attention.

"It's the data faxed by Warner Bros."

After working together for so long, Tina Fei also knew what Duke valued, and immediately said, "In a sample survey of 50,000 ordinary viewers, the favorable rate is 79%, and the overall audience rating is a-."

She looked up here. Duke's face was normal, without any abnormalities.

Tina Fei remembers clearly that this was the worst audience reputation on the first day of all Duke films, and it was also the first time that audience praise on the first day was below 80%.

"Continue?" Duke said quietly, "What about other aspects?"

"On the first day of the show in North America, 2,200 theaters received US$4.21 million, and the average single theater was US$1913."

Similarly, except for Duke's first film "Speed ​​of Life and Death". This is also the worst box office performance.

"It's ok," Duke leaned back on the sofa. He smiled and said, "It's not as bad as I thought."

Hearing this, Tina Fei couldn't help rolling her eyes, and felt a little strange. Duke had always been confident, but this film was an exception.

"Are there any other statistics?" Duke asked again.

Tina Fei glanced. Said, "Warner Bros. counted the two parts of the film that were not liked by the audience and the most popular with the audience from the interviewed audience."

She lowered her head, looked at the fax document and said, “More than 90% of the interviewed audiences think that the slow pace of the film is their most unbearable flaw. Excellent. The duration is long enough and hot enough, and the realistic shootout is the most popular part for them."

This is in Duke’s expectation. If the film was made as the critics said, maybe they would give praise, but would lose most of the audience, and they would really make the movie according to the taste of the critics. Can succeed?

Don't be kidding, the possibility of failure would be greater. The most typical is the former Wachowski brother and sister.

Classical realistic gunfights have indeed declined, but such films can only use gunfights as a weapon to attract audiences. As for the fast-paced, Duke has never thought of shooting films with a warm rhythm.

Perhaps Duke cannot guarantee what kind of movie will sell, but he is very sure that if the tempo of "Hundred Thousand Hurry" is as slow as "The Wire" to make people sleepy, even if the film relies on him on the first day. The box office will not be too bad, but it will definitely shrink by the second or third day.

No director is willing to make a film by himself, but throw it on the market and only get a bunch of praise from film critics, but it is actually a loss.

The most typical is "Stealing Fire" a few years ago. This film of Michael Mann received numerous professional praises, but it hit the North American box office. The gunfights in the film were indeed well received by the audience, but the lengthy foreshadowing and gentle swallowing The rhythm is simply unbearable.

That was a few years ago, and the pace of life now is much faster than it was a few years ago.

Even if Duke deliberately accelerated the narrative rhythm of "One Hundred Thousand Urgent", in the statistics faxed by Warner Bros., most viewers still believed that the rhythm was slow.

The future is an era when fast-paced movies can only shine. (To be continued...)
