"Seeing and listening", 100 points, "An epoch-making theater movie! Alfonso Cuarón proved with a masterpiece recorded in history that the movie still belongs to the cinema. Undoubtedly, this is A visual effects work that surpassed the'Avatar', bringing an unprecedented movie theater experience!"

The premiere of "Gravity" was over, and the British professional film magazine "Vision and Hearing" immediately sent reviews, and boldly and arrogantly stated that this is a work that surpasses "Avatar". The words and sentences all revealed their crazy official position, which undoubtedly pushed the film’s praise further to a new high.

But it also ushered in countless controversies for the movie.

From the perspective of the media review alone, the "Avatar", which received 83 points that year, is indeed not one of the most highly rated film works by film critics; but no one can deny the important position of this work in the history of the film industry, regardless of Is it the first historical breakthrough of the US$700 million box office in North America, or the comprehensive innovation of 3D technology for the cinema viewing experience? This is a work of epochal significance.

Now, "Vision and Hearing" magazine directly uses the term "beyond". On the one hand, this pushes the expectations to an unparalleled height; on the other hand, the supporters of James Cameron are completely angry. To put it simply, "recruit black".

"U.S. Weekly"'s keen sense of news is undoubtedly one of the top in the industry. Reporter Gavin Hunter seems to have anticipated the arrival of this day. During the Toronto Film Festival, he made an appointment with James Cameron. Interview opportunity, and after the premiere ended, James’ official response was released.

"The strongest space science fiction movie in history."

These are the original words of James Cameron.

Throughout the interview, James bluntly stated, “At the technical level, Alfonso has once again made a breakthrough. He has almost reached perfection for the control of weightlessness and spacewalk; in terms of visual effects, “gravity” Compared with "Avatar", it has indeed achieved admirable breakthroughs and progress. This is undoubtedly a result of excitement and excitement. I think it is an important breakthrough for the entire film industry."

“From this perspective, I don’t think the media’s comments are wrong. On the contrary, I agree with them. I am very happy to see the emergence of gravity. At the New York Film Festival, I and Ah Fonso met, and I expressed my admiration and admiration for his work in person. Of course, when I make'Avatar 2'in the future, I also look forward to surpassing the visual experience achievement brought by'gravity' again. ."

"This is a very good work. As far as I am concerned, the development and progress of technology in less than five years is amazing. Alfonso has accomplished an impossible task. I would not think that'Gravity' is better than'Avatar', but I agree that these are two equally good works."

"I strongly recommend every fan of'Avatar' to go into the cinema to support this movie. Personally, I have booked a movie ticket for the weekend and I am going to watch it again. I like some of the plot details in the movie. ."

The official response, James sent his praise in a positive attitude.

Anyone who knows and knows James knows that he has unparalleled confidence in his professional and technical fields, and has even reached the level of arrogance and narcissism-but every artist has such characteristics. And James presented it in his own way. Hollywood executives have become accustomed to this. Now, "gravity" can be praised and recognized by James, which is undoubtedly the best affirmation of Alfonso.

Although James has adopted the official position to support "gravity", the fanatics of "Avatar" will still not completely calm down. Those anger and protests are still boiling on social networks, doing all they can to defend their own minds. It also called on a large audience of fans to join forces to resist the "gravity", which was also a trend that Warner Bros. did not expect at all.

However, good and evil are interdependent, pros and cons are one, and everything is one and two sides.

The boycott campaign initiated by the enthusiastic supporters of "Avatar" on the social network has aroused the curiosity and interest of more ordinary viewers.

Originally, the film festival received rave reviews, and people always took it for granted that this was an art film for the award season; coupled with the special attributes of the autumn season, many ordinary audiences were outside the audience, but now " After the direct and indirect connection between "Gravity" and "Avatar", especially the boycott of the enthusiastic fans, it gradually reversed the fixed impression of ordinary audiences.

This... can it be regarded as a blessing in disguise? Then only box office numbers can prove it.

The short review of "Seeing and Listening" is only one part of the praise frenzy. After the premiere of "Gravity", the media reviews and the Rotten Tomatoes Index and other commentary data are fully open. Interested audiences finally There can be a more intuitive and vivid evaluation feedback.

Media review, 54 media comprehensive reviews finally settled at 99 points!

Undoubtedly, this is the best space movie in film history, not only surpassing the 83 points of "Avatar", 74 points of "Inception", 82 points of "2001 A Space Odyssey", and "Batman: Darkness" The "Knight" scored 82 points and became the well-deserved number one among similar movies.

It also surpassed the 62 points of the box office champion "Iron Man 3" in the first half of 2013, the 62 points of the 2012 year-end box office champion "Avengers", and the 2011 box office champion "Harry Potter and the Death St." Eighty-seven points for "The Maker (Part 2 and 92 points for the 2010 year-end box office champion "Toy Story 3", etc., have become the highest-rated commercial movies in recent years.

To be precise, this is the highest-rated commercial film in the history of the media. The previous record was held by Gone with the Wind in 1940. This masterpiece of the color film era won a media comprehensive score of 97 points. Comment, the score is the same as that of 1959 starring Marilyn Monroe in "Enthusiasm", and is listed as the best commercial film in film history.

Then there is the "Ratuitouille" produced by Pixar in 2007. This animated commercial film is far ahead of a group of real-life works with a media review of 96 points, and has become a good reputation champion of commercial films since the new century.

until now.

"Gravity" officially broke such a record. This is a milestone! The whole industry has triggered a milestone in the discussion frenzy!

With the emergence of a frenzy of praise, the industry also broke the news that the new CEO of Warner Bros. Kevin Tsujihara actually didn't like this work: because it was too simple, too esoteric, and too tricky. Not for Lan Li, but already in the post-production stage of the film.

Kevin Tsujihara believes that the box office of this movie will usher in a disastrous loss, perhaps even worse than last year's "Super Warship" and "Alien Battlefield".

In the later stage of the shooting, Alfonso applied for an increase in budget investment. Because the cost of computer special effects production exceeded the plan, they still needed a grant of about 10 million yuan. However, Kevin gave severe opposition, and even did not hesitate to cooperate with Barry May. Ye launched a head-on confrontation, and in the end Time Warner Parent Group chose to support Kevin, but the budget could not be approved. Alfonso could only squeeze his clothes, move around, cut out some lens concepts, and stumbled to complete the production of the whole work.

During the post-production period, Kevin took over Barry’s CEO position and faced a company that needed to be reorganized. He temporarily did not intervene in Alfonso’s editing work, but has been interfering in the promotion and distribution work, cutting the screening venues and cutting the premiere. Type costs, cut promotional costs, and so on.

A simple horizontal comparison shows that the premiere of "Gravity" completely relies on fans to support the stage, while last year's premiere of "Edge of Tomorrow" created the most innovative event in film history, from the scale to the treatment. It is a big difference. According to estimates by professionals, the investment cost of the two premieres is almost four times different.

In addition, the "gravity" screening venues have also been drastically reduced, to only three thousand five hundred.

What kind of value is this? The summer commercial film screening venues are all over 4,000, even animation and comedy are no exception; among the top 15 works in the box office rankings in the first half of the year, only the number of venues is lower than "gravity" A "hot police flower", this comedy movie with an investment of 40 million is starring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy.

Jeff Robinoff, who had left Warner Bros., couldn't help but complain at the private party. "Alfonso is dancing ballet on the tip of the knife. Even if Lan Li joined in, their situation is not too great. Okay. Now Lan Li has been branded by Barry, and some people are always unwilling to see that the old will continue to flourish."

Once the emperor and the courtier~lightnovelpub.net~ If we look at the cooperation negotiation process of "Interstellar Crossing" again, Jeff Robinoff's point of view seems to have been further corroborated; return to "gravity" You can perceive that the situation of this work is indeed not so good, and you can smell the signs from Venice.

But who could have imagined that "gravity" not only detonated a frenzy of praise, but also broke the historical record, reaching an incredible height sturdily, and the current momentum is already in an unstoppable posture, which also makes people can't help but start Be curious--

In the absence of Warner Bros’ publicity, just relying on Renly’s strong appeal at the film festival, how many premiere box offices can it produce? How long can the long-term advantage of excellent word-of-mouth in the box office last? The most important thing is, what kind of results can the North American and global box office achieve in the end?

How long can the three fires of Kevin Tsujiwara's new official last?

At least for now, the balance of the situation is leaning towards "gravity" bit by bit. In addition to the media reviews, Rotten Tomatoes, cinema scores and IMDB scores are ushering in a full-blown outburst of enthusiasm!
