There are some things that can't be said by the media, and the media is not so stupid. At this time, the Internet water army is needed. The current Internet management is far less than that in the future, and the bad things in the entertainment industry are also difficult to attract the attention of the regulatory authorities. The water army that has gone around has become a weapon for Murphy and CAA to fight back.
For example, this kind of counterattack, instead of expanding the scope of attack, is better directed at one point. The best-selling movies are often the perfect integration of many elements loved by the audience, and the failed movies are enough as long as they are a little disgusted by the audience. Make complaints about the role of
, the performance of actors, the unreliable plot, etc. make complaints about audiences.
Even if the cat girl in the script is not named Serena Kyle, Halle Berry is still criticized by countless comic fans. Just like "the dead waiter", comic fans are the most basic audience group of a newly emerged film.
If even these people can't please, and the trial of "cat girl" itself has a bad reputation, we can imagine the way of future screening.
make complaints about the big cats in the days before the cat and dog show. Tucao make complaints about the fact that the cat and woman are black.
Accompanied by the appearance of Halle Berry's SM dress of Catwoman.
make complaints about the network of Tucao under each network, including the guidance of the Navy, but make complaints about ordinary Internet users.
"Why do you want a black man to play cat girl? Did the producer get water in his head? "
"I really want to throw up after seeing this shape!"
"It's insulting the cat girl's personality to find a black man. By the way, it's insulting our intelligence quotient!"
"Halle Berry's appearance is so stupid. I'd like to ask how many times she did it for Warner Bros. executives before they brainwashed her into the role of Catwoman."
almost everyone is in Tucao Haley Berry's cat and girl modeling, even if some people agree, nor make complaints about the role, just think Haley Berry's figure is very good.
A film, if even the most basic protagonist modeling is completely rejected by the audience, the consequences are terrible.
Warner Bros. is also working hard to reverse the negative influence of Halle Berry's modeling, while diverting fans' attention with other aspects of publicity and speculation.
They are aiming at Murphy and Robert Downey Jr., who have been the focus of fans' attention since the hit of "dead man". Attacking them can not only divert fans' attention, but also curb the hot trend of "dead man".
As a result, a lot of negative news about them was published on the Internet and many paper media.
"Murphy Stanton, a drug dealer director who came out of a slum, and Robert Downey Jr. are loyal drug friends..."
Under the title of this horror, there is a string of descriptions that are hard to distinguish between true and false.
Murphy, bill rossis and Carla Firth all predict the possible counterattack of Warner Bros. and Halle Berry. They have 20th century fox as their backing, and they are not afraid of the means in these rules. They continue to fight back, and the counterattack is always held firmly to one point.
"The cat girl is a black man!"
They constantly use this to remind the audience that although it may attract some black people to watch, it will lose more audiences.
The two sides took the Internet and entertainment newspapers as their positions. During the period before the release of cat girl, the war of words completely escalated.
"Murphy Stanton has an ambiguous relationship with Jessica Alba, and his current girlfriend moves out of his house in Santa Monica. This cross-border love is about to break up..."
Everything that can be used to build momentum will not be easily let go.
But Murphy's side has always been one.
"The cat girl is a black man!"
"Robert Downey Jr. is addicted to drugs and puffs in a nightclub..."
"The cat girl is a black man!"
"Murphy Stanton is suspected of racial discrimination..."
"The cat girl is a black man!"
"To decipher the real relationship between Murphy Stanton and Stanton clique, they are actually a group of homosexuals..."
"The cat girl is a black man!"
Different from the other side's wide-ranging attacks, Murphy focuses on one point and constantly reminds the audience not to forget that a black man actually plays cat girl through the Internet.
Some female characters, through their own play, or to enlarge their own advantages, can bring significant help to the film, such as Jessica Alba's Nancy in sin city; while some female characters, with their own negative aura, are born to lower a film by two grades.
If Halle Berry and cat girl are separated, there is no problem at all. When they are combined in such a wonderful way, they are undoubtedly very close to the latter.Moreover, the film "cat girl" has only been shown for several times, but before it is officially released, the reputation on the Internet is completely destroyed, the freshness of rotten tomatoes is reduced to 13%, the popcorn index is only 50%, and the IMDB audience score is directly below 6%.
In sharp contrast, the Internet reputation of "dead waiter" has always been strong. Even after the first weekend, the freshness of rotten tomatoes is still as high as 84%, and the IMDB score is 4.
In particular, the theater audience rating, which directly represents the market response, has been standing firmly on the height of a +.
What this brings directly is that the box office trend of "dead waiter" is unusually stable.
On the first weekday, the box office on Monday was only 40% lower than that on Sunday, and it got more than most movies' three-day weekend box office figure - $14.52 million.
On Tuesday, the discount day rose slightly to close at US $15.38 million. On Wednesday, it fell to US $13.86 million. On Thursday, when cat girl began to land in North American Theaters, it received another US $13.74 million.
In four working days, "dead man" earned 57.5 million US dollars from North American Theaters, pushing the cumulative North American box office of the film over 100 million US dollars, as high as 141.3 million US dollars.
Before the end of the second weekend, the North American box office of "dead man" is about to reach the $150 million expected by Fox in the 20th century.
The excitement of fox executives in the 20th century can be imagined. This is a 250 million dollar film. Their attitude towards Murphy is also changing quietly, which can be seen from the strong support of the previous war of words.
In line with the box office, there are also peripheral products, such as death attendants' hats, uniforms and double knives, which have become essential items for many fans to watch movies. The sales volume has been rising all the time. After the box office of 20th century fox was released in the first weekend, it also launched the hand-made dolls of death attendants and Vanessa, which are quite popular.
In a week, the products related to death attendants have brought nearly $17 million in revenue to 20th century fox. With various kinds of licensing, the peripheral revenue of the film easily exceeds $30 million.
All of these let the 20th Century Fox executives see Murphy as if they saw the dollar.
In Hollywood, it can be said that there is no more direct and effective way to improve a director's status in a film company than box office revenue and revenue.
The box office performance of "dead man" in its second weekend depends not only on itself, but also on its new competitors. If the competitors are too strong, it is bound to form an impact.
Before the sun rose on Friday, Halle Berry got up early in the morning and went to the small garden of the villa. She couldn't settle down. She went to the dining room to drink a glass of milk and went back to the living room. She sat on the long sofa and waited patiently.
At yesterday's premiere, judging from the reaction of the audience, the film didn't seem as bad as she thought. She also observed that there were almost no audience who left early, and the applause after the screening was warm enough.
This may be a polite response from the premiere audience, but Halle Berry prefers to think that they are attracted by the film and the characters.
If other advance shows, like the premiere, "cat girl" does not say that the box office is super hot, at least the number won't be ugly.
Although the war of words was suppressed by the other side's words, Halle Berry still had hope in her heart. After all, there were not only films with poor reputation in the audition, which were generally not expected before the screening, but also box office blockbusters. They also created miracles in Hollywood. Wasn't the situation of Titanic very similar to that of cat girl?
She believes that "cat girl" will make a comeback.
Sitting here, uneasily waiting, Halle Berry picked up her mobile phone several times. Half an hour later, the ring of the mobile phone finally rang.
Halle Berry took a look. It was the phone call from her agent. She pressed the call button of her mobile phone and put it in her ear. "It's me, Halle. Has the box office statistics of the advance show come out yet? "
"Just got it." The voice inside the receiver was interrupted for a while, and Halle Berry's heart began to sink. Every time the agent informed her of something bad, she used this way to make her mentally prepared, "a little lower than expected."
Warner Bros. is expected to be $3.5 million in advance. It's good to have $3 million. Halle Berry just came up with the idea, and was shocked by the voice in the receiver, "about $1.7 million."
About $1.7 million! 1.7 million US dollars. It's not even half of the expected result!
Halle Berry didn't know how to hang up. She sat on the couch and didn't want to do anything or say anything. She had only one idea in her head. It's over. My superstar road is over
Will anyone find themselves to play in A-class production in the future? Is it possible that in the future, we can only get along with each other in small investments, and then brush our sense of existence by relying on the lukewarm role of storm girl?
After a long time, she gradually recovered, hands together, devout prayer, the audience go to see this film!A large-scale film, even if it's bad, will be watched by the audience. This is an inevitable situation in every film market. Only the reaction of the audience can't be guaranteed.
