The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)

Chapter 498: Surging

The disturbance of "borrowing the door" seems to have gradually subsided.

During the interview, Chris repeatedly emphasized that he won the role of Sol by virtue of his personal strength. He cherished the opportunity to perform this time and went all out.

Then Chris accepted an exclusive interview with "Entertainment Weekly". During the interview, he said that in order to be able to play this role well, how to read Norse mythology and how to watch the mihael-keaton version of Batman learning superhero How to communicate the details of the performance with director Kenneth, how to learn from Natalie’s cooperation...

Immediately afterwards, during the live broadcast on the radio, Chris talked about the hardships in the fitness process. In order to play the role of Thor, he has always maintained a tight state for eight months. He has to do it every day. Keep exercising and match healthy recipes, including eggs, chicken, sandwiches, vegetables, brown rice, steak, and protein drinks, all in order to be able to present the best state on the screen...

After that, Natalie, Anthony, Kenneth and other crew members also stepped forward to support Chris. Among them, Anthony did not hesitate to praise himself and described himself and the heavily armed Chris. When we first met, "God, this doesn't require any performance at all. He is Sol from the comics."

In the end, even Robert Downey Jr. mentioned this issue in an interview. He generously expressed his appreciation, "I have watched some clips of the internal screening. Undoubtedly, he is Sol, I think There is no other more suitable candidate."

First "Entertainment Weekly", then "Houston Chronicle", then "Daily News", then "New York Post", and "Chicago Sun"...Although Chris never responded positively." "Borrowing" the rumors of the script, but the reporting direction of the major media is quietly shifting. Gradually, the focus of public opinion began to shift little by little:

Compared with the script, appearance and strength are the decisive factors for Chris to win Thor. After all, this is "Thor", a superhero movie based on comics, not an art movie that tests acting skills like "The Blood Is Coming".

Although the media headed by the "Los Angeles Times," "The New Yorker," "Voice of the Village," and the "Seattle Post" still don't buy it, they continue to ask the truth: leaving aside the essential reasons for the success of the audition, then , Did Chris “borrow” Lanly’s script, and did it happen without Lanly’s knowledge? Chris still did not give an answer to this critical question.

The questioning voices of these media have never disappeared, but the problem is that Lan Li, as the client, has not been aggressive and persevering, or even stopped accepting interviews, and devoted himself to work wholeheartedly. This also made the media's hype and accountability unsustainable, and gradually evolved into a burden of shave. After time slowly passed, those noisy voices calmed down.

However, the enthusiasm on the Internet has not been able to dissipate for a while. On the Yahoo community, the debate among netizens has intensified.

Some netizens seem to have accepted this statement, believing that the media is making a fuss. In the final analysis, Chris still relied on his own strength to win the role. As for the script, it doesn't matter; but other netizens refused to compromise and unswervingly protested. And contempt, the accusation always surrounds Chris and never dissipates, they think

Whether the script is useful or not is one thing; “borrowing” without the owner’s consent is another matter. In real life, it cannot be said that an object is not very useful, or is simply useless, then other people can use it directly without asking the owner's consent. This is also okay. If the object is useless, why use it? Furthermore, since it is not a valuable item, why can't I ask the owner before borrowing it? Regardless of whether the object plays a role or not, it is taken away without the consent of the owner, or even ignorantly, such behavior itself is wrong.

Undoubtedly, netizens who refuse to compromise and hold to the bottom easily gain the upper hand.

The fans of the comics chose to shut up; the fans of Chris did not exist at all, and only a small number of netizens were still arguing for quarreling and insisting on insisting.

This scolding battle spread vigorously and vigorously on the Internet. The negative impact of "borrowing the door" is still unstoppable, and many netizens have unswervingly expressed that they refuse to go into the movie theater to watch "Thor" unless Chris can respond positively. If it is false, then they wrongly blamed Chris; but if it is true, then Chris owes a blue gift and an apology to the audience.

"Thor"'s summer box office prospects suddenly cast a shadow.

In fact, not only netizens, but the news media are also paying close attention to the box office trends. It is no exaggeration to say that this opening battle is likely to affect the box office trends throughout the summer this year.

After experiencing the ups and downs of the past period of time, more and more eyes are focused on the box office duel between "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5" and "Thor". The matchup that was originally disparity in strength has now become confusing and confusing.

"Borrowing the door" had a huge impact on Chris' positive image, but how much did it have on the box office of "Thor"? Will the audience really refuse to go into the movie theater because of Chris's negative news? The news event itself is fading, but Chris's self-defense, how many viewers actually bought it? How many netizens who claim to refuse to enter the movie are serious? How do the main audiences of superheroes view this incident?

Can Natalie Portman, who has just reached the top of the Oscar not long ago, get rid of the follow-up influence of the "stand-in door" and win the hearts of the audience again? As a golden supporting actor, how much can Anthony Hopkins contribute to the box office bonus of commercial films? Does Paramount have a follow-up strategy to eliminate the impact?

Similarly, "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5" is no exception. How much can this movie benefit? As the third actor, Lan Li, can his influence benefit the work itself? Isn't this a good thing or a bad thing for Renly without taking advantage of the victory? For the movie? Has Universal Pictures’ publicity policy been adjusted accordingly? How much influence does it have on the box office?

Regardless of the truth, Renly and Chris have completely torn their faces, but the positions of the two are quietly changing.

For Landly, "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5" can achieve a big box office victory, and the momentum will inevitably be bullish, and the recognition will increase exponentially; but even if unfortunately it fails to achieve good results, the negative impact is really limited. Thanks to this "borrowing door", more and more commercial film lovers have heard of Lan Li's name.

But for Chris, it was an important duel. "Thor" won the box office, so everything is easy to say, no matter how bad things can be solved; but once the box office Waterloo, everyone will blame Chris, especially Paramount Pictures. There is no way of knowing what changes Chris will have in his future career.

Was it the Jedi counterattack and a major comeback? This kind of desperation standing on the edge of the cliff has stimulated the adrenaline of the media. All eyes can't wait to gather towards the opening battle of the summer archives of "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5" and "Thor".

To be more precise, the "borrowing door" storm did not calm down, but shifted the focus. From the mere pursuit of personal responsibility, it extends to the box office showdown between the two commercial works, and can even involve the expectations, planning and attention of the two film companies to this work.

This is much more exciting than "Chris vs Renly".

This is a war that Chris can't afford to lose. Standing at this moment, looking back and watching, when the gossip just started, Lan Li said in an interview, "You want a war, then I will give you a war." Now, the war is really full of smoke. "As you wish." It's just that Chris is not so sure whether he wants this war anymore.

The major media were unwilling to express their views and opinions one after another, and made predictions about the opening of the summer archives. Overall, the mainstream media is still more optimistic about "Thor".

In the past two years, superhero movies based on comics have become popular, and the audience market is expanding step by step; moreover, Paramount is very generous~lightnovelpub.net~ only the promotion cost is light. Easesong broke through US$40 million; what's more, the influence of negative news is more limited to North America. In overseas markets, experts all believe that "Raytheon", a commercial blockbuster focusing on visual effects, can easily sweep through. box office.

Also, no one should forget that the reputation of Paramount's internal screening is very outstanding. Although the reputation of internal screenings has always been inaccurate, it is not uncommon for completely different negative reviews after the screening; but overall, the momentum of "Thor" should not be underestimated.

As the other side of the showdown, "Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 5", the previous series of the series have accumulated a certain loyal audience; Universal Pictures' publicity is also not small; the internal trial screening has given positive and positive signals; and this time the news The subjective addition of hype has laid the foundation for the film to win outstanding box office.

However, compared to "Thor", almost every aspect of "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5" is one size smaller. Box office prediction is not an objective mathematics problem. Calculate the scores in each link and draw a conclusion after adding them together. This is just a trend prediction; but it is undeniable that "speed and excitement/emotion 5" falls in every link. The disadvantages, the more obvious the gap after the integration.

The biggest suspense now is the unexpected news in the past period of time, the duel between Renly and Chris, and the duel between Renly and Natalie, how much bonus can "Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 5" bring? How much loss will "Thor" face? In the first week of the summer file opening, what positive impact can this have on the box office of "Thor"? And how much effect will the disadvantage of "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5" at the end of the spring file?

Between one plus one minus, the gap between the two works is narrowed, the suspense naturally increases, and the outcome is naturally more unpredictable.
