Now is the most frenetic summer season in North America. Now that the film has been released, no matter what the purpose is for shooting, the first task must be to obtain the highest possible box office.

In the early stage of the film's release, the most representative of the market potential is the film's audience reputation. They are the first-hand consumers and the ones with the most say.

Now there are signs of serious polarization of word of mouth in the film, which shows that there will still be a large part of ordinary movie fans who cannot accept such a form of story expression.

You must know that the fans who walked into the theater for the first time last night were either supporters of the main creative team or fans of this type of film. They all gave such evaluations. After the large-scale release today, the reputation of fans will definitely return. will continue to expand towards this trend.

Faced with such a situation, Wayne actually has no good solution. Since he chose to make this film, such risks have existed.

"However, there is good news here."

Watching him fall into silent thinking, Naomi Watts continued, "The Departed has a very good professional reputation. According to Warner Bros.'s statistics this morning, it was found that most of the well-known film critics in North America gave the film a very good rating. High evaluations and overwhelming professional reputation help us compete for professional awards, don't they?"

"That's right, but our primary consideration now is that the box office should not be too ugly." Wayne breathed a sigh of relief, and said without hesitation, "The impact of those film critics on the summer program cannot be said to have no effect. , but definitely not as high as we thought.”

In fact, Wayne already knows what the professional rating is, but it will only play a big role in the awards season half a year later, but it has little significance for the current box office.

Some insiders may still be superstitious about professional ratings, but he is definitely not included. It's not obvious now. It won't take too long. As long as ten years pass, everyone will find out how big the ratings are from the audience. limitation.

In fact, there are already many examples. Often, commercial sci-fi films with poor professional ratings perform very well in the market, while good films praised by film critics are frequently cold in the market.

Just like 2,000 years later, without the production company, professional ratings will be used to measure market potential. This kind of rating method, which is separated from the public, is destined to be impossible to represent anything other than awards season.

This is like a multiple-choice question. If you choose the so-called professional score, it is destined to be separated from the needs of ordinary movie fans. It is an inevitable phenomenon that the market is cold.

Of course, both professional word-of-mouth and movie-fan word-of-mouth have a good harvest, and films that demand both awards and box office will appear every year, but there is an element of luck in it. To achieve a similar effect, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can achieve with hard work.

In fact, in Wayne's heart, he has already made preparations for "The Departed", which is not so perfect in the theater market. As far as the type of film is concerned, the North American box office and the world box office are definitely incomparable with his previous works.

But he is still a little unwilling. In fact, no director is willing to see his hard-worked works put on the theater market and not welcomed by more audiences.

Nina glanced at the watch on her wrist and whispered, "Boss, it's almost time, we should go now."

"Ok." Before he left, Wayne came to the stroller, bent down and kissed the sleeping little guy gently, then raised his head to look at Naomi Watts. "In the past few weeks when I'm running publicity outside, you should read more of the script of "The Dark Knight". My personal suggestion is to ask Hela to help you find a teacher. This will be good for your future work."

"If necessary, I will." The Australian actress stood on tiptoe, kissed him lightly on the face, suddenly remembered something, and said, "Don't you want to know the early box office of the competitor "Ransom Storm"? ?"

"no point."

Wayne waved his hand, turned and walked out of the living room. "Nami, the advance screenings of the two films are not equal. I don't have such high expectations for the box office of "The Departed", but this is by no means comparable to "Ransom Storm"."

Perhaps he can't judge whether his heavily stylized film will be a big hit, but he is extremely confident. With the early screenings of "Ransom Storm" in the early 2000s, and 2200 theaters, he won the first prize. It's basically impossible to wrestle your arms with yourself at the weekend box office.

This era is indeed a Hollywood star, the era with the strongest appeal, and Mel Gibson does have a lot of popularity, but it depends on who you compare it with. Since the comparison of the number of screenings in advance, the scale of the opening, the number of screens, the main creative lineup of the crew, etc., there is no suspense on my side, how can it be beaten by the other party at the box office?

The rest is nothing more than the quality of the film, which mainly depends on the skill of the director. Ron Howard is a good director, but no one is stupid enough to put him in the same position as Wayne.

"Boss, you're not worried at all, the other party's box office will surpass us?"

The Rolls-Royce Silver Thorn left the manor smoothly and drove all the way to Los Angeles International Airport. On the way, Nina curiously asked Wayne with his eyes closed.

"Well, if they want to surpass us at the box office in the first weekend, they need to figure out a way to pass the Daisy level first."

That's right, in Wayne's mind, the first weekend was the most powerful period at the box office for his film, because the fans of the three leading actors would walk into the theater as soon as possible. The group viewing event organized by Daisy will start today and last for three days throughout the weekend until the next working day.

With the good reputation he has accumulated over the years, he believes that not only the diehards organized by his fans, but also more passers-by fans, can't help but go into the theater to buy tickets and watch the movie with curiosity.

Don't underestimate Warner Bros.'s "This is Wayne's last R-rated film." The emotional effect often sparks unimaginable enthusiasm for watching movies.

The Rolls-Royce Silver Thorn gradually disappeared and disappeared from Naomi Watts' sight. She hummed an unknown music and returned to the living room. First, she looked at her daughter's naughty sleeping position, and then picked up the statistic again. Report.

It is very clear that after the premiere of "Ransom Storm" last night, 2,200 advance screenings were opened simultaneously across North America. According to the news received by Warner Bros. this morning, the box office is about 3.3 million US dollars.

Initiated by Michael Ovitz, directed by Ron Howard, and starring Mel Gibson and Renee Russell, this blockbuster action film has an announced production cost of $80 million. In the project, the capital invested will never be less than 100 million US dollars.

The box office results of the early stage may not represent the box office of the film after the official opening, but to a certain extent, it can reflect the popularity of the film in the early stage of its release.

So Naomi Watts was relieved and still opened the statistics. If nothing else, this film will not compete with "The Departed" in the same schedule. If you want to recover the cost in the theater market, you have to watch the follow-up of the film. Performance depends on whether the audience buys it or not.

So, the Australian actress happily picked up the newspaper again and read the media's praises to his father for the sleeping little guy who didn't understand anything. Whether the little guy could hear it or not, she hoped that she My dearest people, come to share this unparalleled joy and pride.

"The narrative rhythm in the front of the film is slow, but it clearly explains the background of the two male protagonists, especially the description of the environment of the two little boys in the film, which is rare in Wein Greenberg's works. A sense of cross-narrative detail.

As for the elements of Greenberg-style films that fans are looking forward to, this "The Departed" has all of them, whether it is the struggle of human nature, the discussion of social issues, the realism of punching to the flesh, or the large-scale adrenaline that makes people soar. It can definitely meet the expectations of fans. "Kenneth Turan.

"Personally, I think this is the best film Wayne has made since the 1990s. It not only retains his previous sense of social criticism, but also has the clearest way of storytelling, and the most dramatic and entertaining way. A successful work.

This undoubtedly shows Wayne's excellent grasp of the story, the coherence is strong, and the twists and turns of the story also make the monotonous theme of the environment not boring. It expands the creative space for gangster films, and the details of shaping the characters are also rich.

So in my opinion it leans more towards social drama than psychodrama. Of course, I personally think that the theme of the film is clear, and the closed ending makes people feel absurdly happy. Compared with the classic films he made in the past, there are not so many places for aftertaste~lightnovelpub.net~ but in any case, this is enough to be called Wayne's masterpiece in film noir! "Trad McCarthy.

"The Departed, a model of parallel and cross montage! In the processing of the entire film's narrative, through the use of post-editing, the processing of parallel montage and contrast montage is very natural and smooth, making the relationship between characters in the story seem to be more direct. And simple, the effect presented is very in place, and it is a very technically skilled example.

From the various processing methods of this film, it can be found that Wayne Greenberg has completely reached the level of a master in terms of technology and control of the film's narrative, camera, and other work..." "" Los Angeles Times

"Pity!"

In Burbank, the media capital, in an office on the seventh floor of the Warner Bros. Building, Bruce Rosenblum dropped the newspaper in his hand. In the early morning until now, all he saw were all kinds of media and film critics. , a cult-like compliment to Wayne.

Opposite the desk, Jeff Robinoff lit a victory cigar and asked leisurely, "What a pity?"

"Faced with the theater alliance, we should insist on signing an exclusive screening agreement." Bruce Rosenblum shook his head. "With the brilliance Wayne has created in the past few years, there is no hope that we can talk about it, otherwise, we can directly squeeze Disney to death!"
