In the Film Academy of USC, twos and threes of students walk into a studio style classroom. With one shoulder bag on his back, Akers comes to an empty seat, sits down, takes out his pen and notebook, and is ready to review the contents of the previous class. However, the comments around him make him uneasy.
These people seem to be talking about a movie?
Unable to review at ease, Exxon simply closed his notebook. This is the Film Academy of USC. Films that can be discussed publicly are definitely not mediocre.
"A friend of mine knows Paul Wilson." The speaker was a girl. "She got some tickets for the premiere. I went to see it. God, this is incredible. This new Murphy Stanton movie is incredible
Another boy nodded, "well, I haven't seen such a wonderful drama in recent years. It's not a mystery. The first reaction after you've seen it is that you want to laugh, but after you laugh, you will feel chilly."
Next to the boy was a Latino, who said with admiration, "among the younger generation of Hollywood directors, Murphy Stanton is absolutely the best!"
"You're not right!" The first woman to speak first retorted, then put up a thumb, "he is the leader of the younger generation of directors!"
Where there are supporters, there is often no shortage of opponents. A young white man snorted with disdain and said, "you've blown too much. He's just a director who only knows how to play tricks."
Others glared, and the young white man said with disdain, "how many basic mistakes have you made in the lost lover
"The most basic mistake?" The second speaking boy was unconvinced, "why didn't we see it?"
The white youth pointed to his eyes, "because you don't have my burning eyes."
Seeing that other people were not convinced, he sneered, "I'll tell you about it. First..."
He put up his right index finger, "why didn't the man immediately find the police for help when he found the gifts in the cabin? When the police came to check, he had to say that the gifts could be destroyed during this period of time!"
Another finger stood up. "Secondly, the woman owner's money was stolen, but she had no choice but to find her ex boyfriend for help. In order to return to her husband, she killed her ex boyfriend and made up a false fact. If the money was not stolen, she would not find her ex boyfriend. How could she return to her husband? From the plot, the woman owner just wanted to control her current husband, while looking for her ex boyfriend seemed accidental, but she could feel it Jue Nu Zhu has designed it from the beginning. "
Finally he raised his ring finger. "Third, how could the public believe her trick so easily? Does the director really treat everyone as a fool?
The most fundamental mistake of white youth's eloquence was to stand up before others spoke.
He has also seen this film. Although it is not as flattering as those people before, he also thinks it is a masterpiece. The white youth's ignorance also aroused his dissatisfaction.
"Your so-called mistakes don't hold water at all!" With the same cold hum, Exxon began to refute one by one, "one is the gift. When Nick found the gift, they had been paid attention by the media. There are basically journalists near their home. At this time, if we don't deal with these things, we just move out, it is estimated that they will be found by the media."
"Second, it's not planned to find an ex boyfriend because he was robbed in an accident. It's not in the plan to go back to her husband. The plan is to commit suicide and frame Nick. So she found her ex boyfriend and decided to go back after seeing her husband's hint in front of the TV. All these are her temporary plans. "
"Third, it's about the trial of public opinion. The basic group is a mob. They are only willing to believe what they believe. Under the pressure of the trial of public opinion, add some bureaucratic habits, and strive to close the case as soon as possible, so as to avoid greater negative social impact. Those less obvious loopholes are basically ignored, and Murphy is obviously using this irony The media. "
As if telling the most basic facts, Exxon's tone was extremely calm. "Finally, Amy actually wanted her husband to die at the beginning, so she was ready to commit suicide and frame him. It was only after watching Nick's performance on TV that she found that this was the same Nick I loved, so she wanted to go back. But at this time, it was not so easy for her to leave, but for the sake of her life I can kill a man when I go back... "
He shook his head. "This is really true love."
"Well said!" A few others echoed, "Exxon, you're absolutely right!"
Looking at the white youth, Exxon said with a sneer, "don't use your superficiality and ignorance to measure a director with a unique style like Murphy."
The eyes of the people around them looking at the white youth were obviously mocking.
Murphy Stanton, though not an academic director, is the object of their worship.
"I don't know when the college will invite him to give a speech."
Someone murmured, but got a response.Excellent publicity and marketing, well-known media audience, fast spreading hot topics, the preferred movie for dating lovers
These are the favorable factors of the lost lover, and they are also constantly driving the attendance of the film.
According to the current practice, counting the box office of a film on the first day will include the box office of the advance show, and the more than $6 million of the advance show will be removed. The actual box office of "lost lover" on Friday is more than $12 million.
It's impossible for movies with such themes and ratings to have a big bang on the first day. Murphy knows very well that it's the strong stamina that really determines the final result of the lost lover.
In fact, Murphy and 20th century fox are a little worried. The lost lover created a lot of topics in the early publicity. Many passers-by were attracted into the cinema by the topics on the first day, which led to such excellent box office results. However, after one day, the topics created by the publicity and marketing must have been consumed a lot. In the following days, the audience will be attracted by the topics The next day is the real test of the lost lover.
Just like the hot topic about the magic Amy before the release, the popularity of "lost lover" after the release has increased. In particular, the topics such as "the first choice movie for dating", "the movie of destroying marriage", "if you want to test your lover, go to see" lost lover "and so on, which were thrown out by Fox in the 20th century, have ensured the success of the film The film continues to receive attention.
With Sunday coming, Murphy also got the box office statistics for Saturday.
Over the course of a day on Saturday, "the lost lover" had a higher rate of film production and attendance than it did on Friday, when it closed at $19.2 million.
Compared with the actual $12 million on Friday, the film shot up 50% on Saturday.
This almost indicates that the lost lover will have a strong reputation.
In order to make a strong box office for the film, 20th Century Fox used all the conventional propaganda methods that could be used. Even Roger Albert, who has just undergone surgery and is in the recovery period, was invited out.
No one can deny the influence of the name Roger Albert among the fans.
Of course, Roger Abbott didn't promise anything to 20th century fox. At this point, he won't be moved by ordinary petty profits. His agent's reply to 20th century fox is very simple. We'll wait until we see the film.
With Roger Albert's physical condition, it is impossible to go to the cinema by himself. In the 20th century, fox specially sent a copy to his mansion in the suburb of Chicago.
In the 20th century, foxken did this mainly because he had enough confidence in Murphy's films, and all along, Roger Albert appreciated Murphy's production style.
Roger Abbott was accompanied by his personal doctor and agent to watch "the lost lover" in the private cinema of the mansion.
Then, the famous film critic locked himself in his study until a few hours later, his agent got a film review and left in a hurry to the editorial department of the Chicago Sun.
The film review won't be published until the next day, but it appeared on the official website of the Chicago Sun and Roger Abbott's personal blog that afternoon.
"This is Murphy Stanton's best and most representative film so far. It's cold, secretive, precise, and has a strong integration of story and rhythm. This is Murphy Stanton!"
"It's not easy for a movie to vividly show the flat, happy, sick and crazy aspects of marriage life in a limited time, and deeply reveal the truth of marriage. Murphy Stanton has achieved it in the lost lover, which is a perfect creation! Of course, it's not just a marriage story. Fundamentally speaking, it's a suspense and reasoning movie. "
"Murphy Stanton not only uses images to show a series of twists and turns, wonderful and meticulous plots, but also skillfully stir up the primitive desire in everyone's heart and reach the darkest corner of human nature, creating a magical, eye-catching and interesting film. Some people say that "Murphy Stanton is the kind of director who can make a 50 point story into a 100 point, or even 120 Point movie."
"Few people, like Morpheus Stanton, can give the audience a real movie and a complicated and conflicting ending - not totally happy or totally unhappy. "The lost lover" is simple and concise in technique, powerful but not straightforward in lens, half covered by pipa, revealing something at the last moment. "
"Whether you are disappointed or happy, excited or disgusted after watching the film, Murphy Stanton's film is quite deep and meaningful compared with other films. It is a very purposeful and far-reaching film. No matter from dramatic conflict, social metaphor or cultural level, the lost lover is an outstanding and fascinating work
Finally, it's an iconic thumbs up!
As I said before, Roger Albert's influence, especially on older fans, is beyond doubt. His film reviews can also pull many people into the cinema.All this has brought extremely positive effects to the film, and the most direct response is the box office figures.
