v2 Chapter 727： Duke and Spielberg

In North America, with the screenings of Fury Road one after another, the high reputation almost swept the movie market with the wind sweeping the fallen leaves.

In n’s live interview, fans who watched the film were full of praise, and they responded to the film with "good film, **** blood!" "Road of Fury, film as its name!" "Unforgettable style and unforgettable imagination Power!" and other comments.

Of course, as an R-rated film, its audience cannot be as wide as Duke's past pg-13 films, and some people will not like the film.

"It feels weird from beginning to end..."

"Found a movie genre that I don't want to watch..."

"The picture is more exciting, maybe I don't like this type, I can't enter the scene at all..."

There are no such comments.

However, more than 95% of people who walked into the theater to watch this film, whether it was an ordinary audience or a dedicated person, were full of praise.

On the Rotten Tomatoes website that collects reviews from film critics, the freshness of Fury Road is 100% rare after it was released in North America for almost a day.

You know, this is Duke's film. After his films were released in the past, the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes would always drop at a lightning speed by 8 to less than 70%.

It has to be said that as Roger Albert and other older generations of film critics gradually fade out of public view—perhaps it is more appropriate to automatically be ignored by the public—the new generation of film critics understand that this industry does not have that much influence and has never After experiencing the so-called era of film critics calling for wind and rain, the conflict of interest between them and Duke is far less acute than the older generation of professional film critics.

However, few commercial film directors and film companies care about Rotten Tomatoes, and it has nothing to do with the summer box office.

Today's network. It has become an indispensable and even extremely important part of this society, and the influence of Internet public opinion on the market of a film is getting deeper and deeper.

Whether it’s imdb’s comments or instant sharing sites’ sharing, North American public opinion is completely overwhelming.

"Director Duke Rosenberg, director of photography John Schwarzman, action director Jimmy Carter, and art director Hannah Serena, your whole family is in bunkers!"

"It's so high. The first 30 minutes have been stunned for several times. But the movie basically doesn't mean to stop. If it must be divided into five or six paragraphs, the literary drama between each two paragraphs is only about 30. Seconds, and then it starts high again... Tom Cruise has been handsome cry for the first two-thirds of his lines, and the goddess Theron who believes that women are not objects is totally overwhelming!"

"It's so cool, so cool, so explosive! Duke has brought the scene design of Hollywood action blockbusters to a new level. The car chasing scene has a variety of tricks, climax followed by climax, and there is no urine point during the whole process. The special effects of the sandstorm scene are the most beautiful, the literary drama The emotional scene ends. Tom Cruise and Charlize Theron are both so handsome that you can't suppress yourself. Imax, please use it! It burns to death, crazy to death!"

"When I watched it, my heart was like this-the movie can still be played like this, it's crazy like this!"

Compared with "Furious Road", which was overwhelmed by word of mouth, the response of "The Adventures of Tintin", which was released at the same time, was fairly average.

"Although it is Spielberg's movie, I really want to say that this is a bad film. Apart from the remarkable technology, the storyline is procrastinated without suspense. It is not credible and lacks imagination."

"I just watched it. Not to mention the old-fashioned plot, and some vulgar jokes that have nothing to do with the narrative. Tintin's character image fails completely and he always has a clever expression. The most cute Bai Xue is not cute at all. !"

"There is too much chance in the story, and the story is sloppy. After reading it, I feel very ordinary."

The public opinion on the Internet is directly reflected in the film. Because of the r-rated film, the attendance rate of Fury Road is far less than that of The Dark Knight and Transformers. It is also the most popular movie this weekend, and "The Adventures of Tintin" not only lags behind "Furious Road" in attendance and number of theaters, it is even far below the lowest expectations of the outside world.

With an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars and a propaganda budget of the same size, the director is still Spielberg’s commercial masterpiece. How do you think its first day box office will exceed 10 million dollars...

However, "The Adventures of Tintin" has refreshed people's knowledge.

In a single day on Friday on the first day of the screening, the average box office of "The Adventures of Tintin" was only $1,145, and more than 3,500 theaters combined only earned $4.05 million.

This achievement not only caused an uproar in the outside world, but also caused major chain theaters to start making plans to lower the schedule of the film.

How would David Ellison react? Duke was not interested in knowing. His focus was still on his own film.

"One day on Friday, including midnight..."

On the plane to Phoenix, Tina Fei told Duke the data that Warner Bros. just reported, "Furthermore, "Furthermore" earned $24.35 million in 4,050 theaters. According to the current situation, "The Adventures of Tintin" The box office numbers in the first week of "Ji" in North America are far inferior to our single-day results."

Duke nodded. This has exceeded his expectations. Warner Bros.'s excellent announcement is also a guarantee of such box office results.

As one of the world's top film awards, Cannes Palme d'Or is always useful.

However, he turned the topic to another aspect, "Those who protested didn't have much influence, did they?"

"According to the feedback from Warner Bros., their impact is not particularly large."

Seeing Scarlett Johansson next to him pouring a cup of black tea for herself, Tina Fei nodded to her first, and then said to Duke, "Moreover, in the most violent places of their troubles, various feminist organizations Some targeted actions have also been taken. Judging from the current situation, the impact on the film is not significant."

She thought about it, and then said, "Someone behind them should be provoking."

"Um..." Duke thought about it and said, "Don't worry about it for now, our focus is to continue to build momentum for the film's reputation."

Scarlett Johansson filled Duke's cup with black tea. After sitting down, he just glanced at the script in front of him. Hearing this, he couldn't help but raise his head, "Is it all right?"

Duke ignored her question, and instead gestured to the script with his eyes, "How is it, are you interested?"

Over the years, he has registered many scripts with the Screenwriters Association. This realistic-style sci-fi script is one of them. It is also a project where Duke once supported the entire film with the female characters mentioned by Scarlett.

Originally, he planned to wait for Scarlett to become more mature a few years later before taking out this project.

But after returning from Cannes, Duke specifically let Nancy Josephson know something about it, as it had happened, as the object of William Morris and even the entire Hollywood Jewish power, Natalie Portman has already Ready to charge to the pinnacle of his life.

William Morris packed up a movie called "Black Swan" and pointed it straight to the Oscars two years later.

Duke has never been a magnanimous bad guy. If it were a year ago, he would sit back and watch what happened, but now, he will definitely not have such thoughts again.

The first Oscar for best actress after 80? It doesn't have to fall on Natalie Portman, and she is not the only outstanding Jewish actress in Hollywood.

Scarlett Johansson closed the script and said, "It's interesting, I'll take it! It's just that the space scene is a little troublesome to film."

Taking a sip of the black tea, Duke exhorted, "I will find someone to do special training for you. This film will not start planning until next year. You have enough time and I have confidence in you."

"Well, I also have confidence," Scarlett rolled her eyes and said again, "If I don't do well by then..."

"It doesn't matter..." Duke interrupted her, raising his eyebrows and said, "I will tie you to the rocket at the Kennedy Launch Center and let you go to the sky and experience what it feels like!"

Scarlett shrank her neck and turned to look at Tina Fei who was sitting next to her, "Will you help me then?"

Tina Fei shrugged, but said nothing.

Duke was busy with the promotion of Fury Road, while Spielberg was running the announcement of The Adventures of Tintin. The two films collided head-on. Although the two never made remarks against each other, there were always some people. The media and the media wanted to provoke the relationship between the two for fear that the world would not be chaotic, so as to evolve into a vigorous battle.

The Jewish power in Hollywood and the media industry is indeed very strong, but there are not no anti-Semitic groups. If two famous Jewish directors can face each other, they must be happy to see the result.

After participating in the promotional activities of Santa Monica Commercial Plaza, Spielberg was stopped by a reporter just after walking out of the venue.

"Steven..." the reporter stretched the microphone over, "The Adventures of Tintin is selected to be released this weekend. Is it for Fury Road? It is said that Duke Rosenberg participated in the filming of DreamWorks. Suppress, are you dissatisfied with him? What do you think of Duke Rosenberg?"

Spielberg took a deep look at each other. The relationship between him and Duke was indeed normal, but there was no serious personal conflict between the two, and there was no business competition that broke the bottom line.

"In my opinion, Duke Rosenberg is one of the best Hollywood directors. He represents the present and future of Hollywood..."

At their level, even if there is competition, they will not easily start the battle, which often means unpredictable results.

And Spielberg is already old, not as impulsive as young people.

It was not just Spielberg who was asked this question, but Duke.

When the plane arrived in Houston, Duke had just walked out of the airport and was surrounded by a group of reporters waiting here. (To be continued.)
