Chapter 278： Movie critics (1/2)
The North American weekend box office rankings on December 12-14 made many people happy. Those media said that in the end, it was dear magic Yang! It also disappointed a lot! Damn it, **** Wang Yang again! It also surprised many film critics, dark horse? Can the word dark horse be used?
Newly released in 56 theaters, ”The Devil Wears Prada” is firmly seated in the championship position. It has crazyly received 51.354 million US dollars at the box office. It occupied 45% of this weekend in North America with a total of 112 million box office. Market share (a total of 128 movies), people walked into the cinema, 45 people watched ”d”,% of them expressed their love at Rotten Tomatoes, and countless female audiences expressed their love on various websites.
The best movie on the fashion theme on this planet! Not the best row, but the best.
The opening victory of ”d” resulted in no room for discussion in the rankings. The second ”677 Love” compromise of the 2677 theaters only received 60,000 opening paintings; the ”Intimate Brothers” of 3 theaters only had 10,000, century Fox has become one of the losers of this Christmas stall; Warner Bros. ”Love is Priceless” is only 6.31 million. In four large-scale films, ”d” swept everything.
The weekend box office of ”-21-em” in August was 49.67 million, and ”Hangover” in the same period of 2 years was 55.73 million. What kind of Waterloo did Magician encounter?
This result made Jessica and others jump around in excitement, which was even more exciting than the time when ”High School Musical” set off a national frenzy; Wang Yang did not have any surprises and surprises, all of which were expected. Look at the opening results of the o6 version of ”d” in the summer vacation in July. The 2847 theaters received 27.53 million box office. The problem is that as a well-resourced giant company, Fox has only 2847 widest screenings. It is known as the upset, the dark horse at the box office, non-global synchronization or a similar schedule.
It is enough to see that Fox does not pay much attention to ”d”, of course, this is also reflected in the cost of its production, so that when shooting in Paris, the scene has to be in a hurry.
Although the current cost of the o3 version is more than 20 million yuan, a large part of it is returned to Wang Yang ’s pocket as a film reward; but in addition to the higher quality of the film itself, the more important thing is that the flame film did not ”The label” Possible Dark Horse ”, but treat it as a god, be sure it will be a big box office bomb.
This is the difference between the cloud and the mud. From the purchase of the adaptation copyright at the beginning of the year to the end of the year, the flame has been trying hard to promote it for the past six months, including 11ge websites, blogs and other viral marketing, as well as magical fame; It will be released in the Christmas and New Year files around the world. The advantage of this is that it is effective in hitting the iron while there is no version or version on the Internet; of course, if there is no golden sign of ”directed by Wang Yang” to grab money, overseas merchants will not Easily hand over the Christmas and New Year schedule to ”d”.
The o6 version of ”d” is a dark box office horse and a model for overseas hotspots in North America. The main box office is almost 3 or 4 months late, and it still collects 100 million overseas box offices.
Wang Yang believes that under the current conditions, the overseas box office potential of ”d” is far more than 200 million. He had this emotion very early. Maybe ”21” is a glass of red wine with a unique flavor, which is endless; perhaps ”d ”It's a glass of chilled mint water in the hot summer. It doesn't have so much aftertaste, but it will be more popular, because it allows a larger audience to quench thirst.
He believes that there is no difference in demand. Not every drink must be red wine. If anyone thinks that red wine is better than iced mint water, it is the best. What else can he say? The experience of growing up in the kitchen from childhood tells him that when a person loves it, different foods will give the same satisfaction. Now he just wants to make a glass of cold mint water on a hot summer day.
”D” won this weekend effortlessly. Despite the poor reputation of the film critics, Wang Yang let everyone see the great power of the fashion theme, and saw that he is still that magical Yang. ”Yahoo Entertainment's commentary reported:” According to According to the release data released by the cinema, 55% of the audience in Demon are young people under 25, and the proportion of male and female audience is%:%. Fashion and brand names have made women crazy. ”
”It is worth mentioning that the opening weekend score of 51.354 million was Meryl Streep ’s best record. The previous record was $ 30,000. In 1992, directed by the magical idol Robert Zemigis, ”Flying Over Longevity” set. And the most popular work of her acting career in North America was ”The Kramers” in 1979, 6.2 billion; now ”d” is almost certain to break this number. ”
This really makes those who want to see Wang Yang lost in confusion, and Miracle Yang seems to be resurrected! Has he ever died? In fact, this result is not a strange thing, as ordinary netizen Jason-e said: ”I don't care about those critics, Magic Yang is special.”
In the minds of movie fan audiences, young people who ”grow up with” and ”grow up together” who have a good impression of magic, his reputation is not comparable to those of critics. They have their own judgment.
The fact is that film critics are evaluating every week, and they have a point of view that allows them to agree and disagree; Magic Yang's 7 consecutive films are crazy, so they are more willing to believe that the film critics' ”posture is high”, or Magic Yang ”pre-era” Of course, excellent audience response gave them confidence.
The influence of the film critics industry has never been the dominant one. The more prestigious ”The Chainsaw” has also received close to 10,000 North American box offices. The number of **** fans has increased in groups, showing the latest business miracles, let alone some special cases. (Such as ”Transformers”), the audience will not care about the criticism of the critics, and now those who watched ”d”, nine adults are rated ”above”, not great but worth a visit; there are many Has become a **** female audience.
”A truly interesting and rare masterpiece far exceeds the quality of its original work.” Demon ”reveals the story of the New York fashion stage with a witty and relaxed approach, with Merrill Streep in an optimal state, and The more own Jessica Alba. ”-Rotten Tomatoes official website.
Not all film critics sing ”d”, the attitude of the film critics has evolved into two opposing schools, and the moderate centrist voice was ignored by people from the beginning. The praise party believes that ”d” is above the standard and lifts two thumbs up; the criticism group continues to disdain and believes that its box office will be weak afterwards. Now these are just the ”Yu Wei” of magic Yang!
For the sake of insurance, some media shouted ”sensible”: ”Even if the box office is high, it can't change the fact that” d ”is a mediocre work. Wang Yang's attitude towards the film has changed, and he let Andrea choose A sweater, but he chose the evening gown himself. ”
”Yang,” Hangover ”got a lot of blame last year; but now it seems that” Devil ”will be your first movie that really gets bad reviews. Everyone is accusing you. What do you think?”
Wang Yang and Jessica have returned to Los Angeles as a follow-up link and a box office champion. Naturally, there will be no shortage of media interviews. When Wang Yang was interviewed by the Los Angeles Times, the reporter asked about the hottest topic about ”d” and about Magic Yang.
”I disagree with what you said to” everyone ”. As far as I know, most of the audience and many film critics agree that” Demon ”is a good movie, and I agree with them.” Wang Yang smiled, thinking of those The cynical critics couldn't help shrugging and laughing: ”Haha! I just hope that some people should be more serious when they accuse others! Don't talk about those funny reasons.”
After the reporter swiped with excitement, Wang Yang did n’t smile any more, and said his thoughts very seriously: “You ca n’t say that it ’s“ bad ”because it ’s a light comedy, not a serious drama; in any case, if you ca n’t Accept that it is a light comedy, then you are not qualified to evaluate it. You cannot say that this is a giraffe, if it is a horse, it is good; it is not good to be a giraffe. ”
”Some people like extremes, indeed it will be particularly impressive, like horror to the extreme, funny to the extreme. But I have to say that the director can have his own style preference, to be a genre, a sense to feel martial The king made the sacred king to kill the gods and seals the throne at night The throne begs the Ao Ninth Chongtian the strongest to abandon the young Da Zhou dynasty, and the gods will kill the **** of the night, and the throne is the best; the audience can also, I only like to watch horror movies in my life. ; But judges and film critics are not good. Their thinking must be broad and objective, strong in acceptance, and can be brought into various subdivided film types without prejudice. Their appreciation ability should pass the director and the public. ”
”The film critics are not big or small, some people can do it, some people can't do it. Why is this movie not good-looking? You are looking for the reason in that genre, not from the beginning it is” it's too dull compared to the movie ” Reject it. There is a guy who is also very funny, because Andrea has a human nature change, so this light comedy is not good-looking. Oh! Why is this? Because it is not his taste. I have no way to control this, no one has By the way, every movie cannot meet all tastes of everyone. ”
Wang Yang shook his head and continued: ”At the same time, many people like to see an Andrea with a human nature change in a light comedy. Why? I mean, as a film critic, you evaluate a The reason for the poor movie cannot be simply because you do n’t like it! ”
”Your random sentence, it will be published in newspapers and magazines! It has an influence that guides the public! When you control the voice of the media, you must analyze objectively, because your inadvertently will kill a It ’s so funny with the team ’s efforts! If you say, “I ’m just an audience, I ’ll say whatever I like.” Well! Then you do n’t represent any authority, why should I care? ”
