Made in Hollywood

Before Batman: Beginning of War, I am afraid that no one dared to make such an attempt on comic book movies like Duke Rosenberg. After all, comic heroes are far from reality. However, Duke Rosenberg Berg very cleverly discovered the most interoperable place between comics and reality, that is, the character's mental journey and the resulting character emotions that can make the audience empathize, so the great Batman trilogy was born...

Just like the articles forwarded by movie fans on instant sharing, the box office of The Dark Knight Rises has experienced ups and downs, but it is also moving forward steadily.

By June, the North American box office of The Dark Knight Rises finally exceeded 550 million US dollars, and the global box office also exceeded 1.3 billion US dollars.

This kind of box office also makes many people feel speechless, after all, The Dark Knight Rises has experienced so many turmoil.

Everyone in Hollywood, whether they like Duke or hate him, is fully aware of the impact of his commercial films.

On the first weekend of June, Sky Movie Studios and Walt Disney jointly invested, and the production cost was as high as 260 million US dollars, and Alien Battlefield released by Disney Pictures was officially released in North America.

David Ellison and his Sky Film Studios, with a total investment of more than $300 million in the production and promotion of the film, specifically asked Walt Disney to prepare a huge premiere for Star Wars As the final chapter of the tetralogy of movies he purchased, Alien Battlefield can also be said to be David Ellison's last hope.

Although Sky Film Studios will not go bankrupt if the film fails, everyone will doubt his vision, and David Ellison is well aware of this.

Of course, he is more aware that many people are now questioning his ability, including his father Larry Ellison.

Without the support of his father Larry Ellison, David Ellison couldn't imagine what the consequences would be. After being in Hollywood for so many years, he still can't break away from the support of his family.

After walking the red carpet in a hurry, David Ellison was called to a lounge by his father's assistant before he could enter the theater.

In the lounge, Larry Ellison was affectionate and serious when he saw David Ellison come in. Signaling him to close the door, he asked directly, What happened to Vin Diesel's car accident?

Hearing this, David Ellison's heart sank.

Larry Ellison then said, Although things are not irreparable, your stupidity has exceeded my wildest imagination!

There was obvious anger in these words.

David Ellison wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Larry Ellison raising his hand. The matter hasn't involved you yet, and I don't want to hear unnecessary words! Also, if Alien Battlefield fails again...

Having said that, he gave David Ellison a cold look.

Will Alien Battlegrounds succeed? In David Ellison's view, this film has all the conditions for a big sale.

But the development of things is sometimes unpredictable. Especially the market response of movies, Hollywood is known as the world's movie factory, has the most standardized production mode, but can't fully grasp the pulse of the market.

The premiere went well. There were no accidents, let alone the shootings last month.

However. The premiere of the film and the thousands of early screenings have just ended, and the fastest responding Internet has already seen a lot of voices abusing Alien Battlefield, especially on the instant sharing of the largest social networking site in North America, Alien Battlefield Negative reviews quickly hang in the foreground.

With a lot of fanfare. I went out of my way on a cloudy Friday night for this long-awaited rendezvous with Star Wars, and it felt like going on a long-planned private rendezvous, but it felt like Yes……

This film has a lot of selling points, such as a famous director, such as high investment, such as alien scenes... However, all of these were suffocated by Alien Battlefield into a long and smelly fart, which roared one after another in countless theaters !

First, it's extremely clichéd. The image of the protagonist is similar to Prince of Persia, the palace of Saturn is similar to Thor, the storyline is similar to Avatar, and the shape of monsters is similar to Golden Compass... So what exactly is Battlefield like? Like everything, just not like myself.”

Second, the colors are monotonous and dim. Throughout the blockbuster films, no matter Avatar or Dark Knight, whether Transformers or Avengers, all of them are glamorous and do not dazzle the audience. Don't give up after spending!

Third, the soundtrack is traditional. I over-believe in the power of the symphony orchestra. As a result, everything is depicted by the symphony, but the story itself is full of cult and fairy tale flavors, which is very inconsistent.

Fourth, the 3D effect is mediocre, far inferior to the big-budget movie The Dark Knight Rises that was released before, and it is purely fishnet stockings that you are forced to wear in order to sell a few dollars more.

Fifth, director Andrew Stanton obviously thinks he is familiar with the rules of creating commercial blockbusters. He used action scenes to warm up the scene at the beginning of the story, but he dealt with it with a couple of pretentious punches. Obviously, the director is very good at action scenes. There is not much interest, and the result is that the audience is not very interested in the film.

Sixth, the director still has the material for making cartoons. The director puts the whole film's focus on the love between the protagonists, and the love that is as pure as snow and as sincere as water is not because the heroine shows her belly and thighs. And an extra adult taste, to put it bluntly, the story is about the love of two teenagers. If it is replaced by two small robots in cartoons, then this love will definitely move the sky and the earth, but in the bustling, noisy and cruel background of reality How can this simple love move you?

Seventh, the director didn't understand the truth that the magic weapon of a giant commercial film is a large-scale action scene. As long as the scene is big enough, dazzling enough, fierce enough, cool enough, and long enough, then no matter how bad the movie is, people will basically buy it. , but the big scenes in this film are always on point, not overflowing at all, how can it be satisfying.

Eighth, the director really wants to follow the literary style. Judging from the whole film, there are a lot of action scenes, but they always try to stop it and finish it in a few minutes. The two behemoths featured on the poster have always been Waiting until the audience is about to fall asleep before appearing on the stage, and being beaten to the ground within a few rounds, will the audience be satisfied?

Ninth, the director doesn't understand the importance of action scenes at all. There are only a few fierce battle scenes at the end of the battle, and it's over. What the hell is that? Look at the big-selling movies, whether it's Transformers or Transformers Avatar, the battle at the end must be high, because after watching this, the audience will walk out of the theater with a huge sense of shock and satisfaction, but Alien Battlefield is good, not to mention victory with two fistfuls. A few minutes of interlocking suspense scenes are added at the end of the film, isn't that superfluous?

Finally, in the process of watching the movie, every time the interest is about to be ignited, the plot will immediately cool down. When your hard object will soften, it will stir your nerves to fall asleep again! When you feel really When the excitement is about to come, it doesn’t give you any chance to squirt before transitioning to the next session, watching Alien Battlefield is like having a sexual dream, it seems very beautiful, but there is no climax!

Like a rapidly spreading plague, the negative word-of-mouth of Alien Battlefield spread on the Internet at a terrifying speed. Even if Walt Disney and Sky Movie Studios made enough efforts, it was impossible to recover.

It can only be said that this film is indeed not to the audience's appetite. In the subsequent interviews broadcast by the TV station, countless fans also complained and abused.

The hype was so over the top, it was just a crude, sleepy movie.

Not to mention the lack of big scenes, the literary drama and logic are so simple and crude that it is unbearable. The age of the original work and the young audience cannot be an excuse.

The plot is incoherent, the characters of the male and female protagonists are not outstanding, and the occasional highlights of a few jokes remind me to sit in front of the screen-don't fall asleep! People who watch science fiction now except Duke Rosenberg's films are really No movies to watch!

Entertainment movies are first of all for entertainment. You don't have many big scenes, sporadic monsters, and mediocre action scenes. Who is it for? The story is plain to reverse Superman. Superman is an alien who came to Earth's gravity. If the gravity is low and invincible, you can go straight upside down and run to an alien planet to become a superhero with low gravity and invincibility.”

Not only that, in the latest survey data released by CinemaScore, the audience score of Alien Battlefield is C, and the popcorn index is 62%, and CinemaScore's North American box office forecast for this film is 50 million US dollars effect.

The production cost of Alien Battlefield alone is as high as 260 million U.S. dollars. If such box office figures are true in the end, the investors will definitely lose money and spit out blood.

In fact, the box office trend of Alien Battlefield is not far behind CinemaScore's prediction.

On the first day of its release on Friday, the film still earned close to $5 million in the North American box office due to promotional efforts, but from Saturday onwards, dragged down by the poor reputation of the audience, the box office continued to drop. The overall attendance rate of the film was even lower than 5%. After three days of the first weekend, it only completed the first week of North American opening tour with 11.38 million US dollars.

In the fiercely competitive summer season, such first-week box office results are not competitive at all, let alone grabbing a big cake. Alien Battlefield is even better than The Dark Knight Rises, which was released for six weeks. No, the latter got $12.13 million this weekend.

For David Ellison, the box office failure of Alien Battlefield was not the worst. On Monday, the Los Angeles police held a press conference again, announcing that the man who hired James Holmes had been arrested. private detective.

At the same time, Duke, who returned to Los Angeles after the North American publicity tour, also received a request from Larry Ellison. (to be continued ~^~)
