Chapter 688

It's past midnight, and there are still a lot of people in the king's entertainment theater in Santa Monica commercial square. Now it's Friday, and "city of night" is about to be released on a large scale. Because the pre-sale was too hot, the North American Cinema Line alliance, led by three major cinema line companies, specially opened the public release of "city of night" after midnight on Friday.

Although Friday is still a weekday, there are a lot of people in the cinema.

When 0.30 minutes arrived, it was quiet in the noisy theater lobby. All the fans crowded into the theater, leaving only the staff of the theater and the cinema line investigators from cinemascore company hiding in the corner to accumulate energy.

Rebecca kartensen is a woman who just got the job and thinks she is not a fan of Murphy Stanton. She doesn't understand the fanaticism of these fans.

After dawn, they have to work or have classes. These people not only don't have a rest, but also go to the cinema to spend time and energy. What's good about such a crazy and mysterious movie?

She had collected scores and comments from many fans in the early stage of the screening in this cinema, and the scores were all a +. The comments that came out of her mouth, and she wanted to blow Murphy Stanton and his film out of the solar system, which was too exaggerated.

Unconsciously pressed the hand of the small tape recorder, those fanatical voices once again reached her ears.

"Since then, the movie has been divided into two levels: Director, director and other action!"

"This movie is so good that it doesn't waste a second!"

"For a movie as good as dark city, no amount of praise is unnecessary."

"Murphy Stanton is so powerful that a commercial action movie can shoot such a high and deep film!"

"An absolutely great work, it's better to upgrade the level of commercial films like Murphy than to fight in those niche literary films!"

Rebecca kartensen has sent this back to her headquarters in time, and has also communicated with several other investigators who have joined cinemascore through social software, all of them in cinemas.

After waiting for two and a half hours, the movie finally came to an end. Seeing a fan coming out of the tunnel, Rebecca carltensen immediately met her and stopped a female fan walking in the front.

"Hello, I'm Rebecca from cinemascore..."

When asked about the ratings and comments of the film, Rebecca kartensen said without hesitation, "a +, it must be a +"

"Is there anything you want to say about the film?" Rebecca cartanson is still very conscientious.

"Well, this should be the last two years, no! Five years.... " Female fans showed the look of memories, "it's not right, it's the last ten years! That's not right. It's probably the most comprehensive commercial film I've seen since I saw the film! Murphy Stanton's works have nothing to say... "

She gave Rebecca cartanson a thumbs up. "It's absolutely this!"

Rebecca cartanson handed her a small gift and said, "thank you."

The female fan nodded politely, "you're welcome."

Later, Rebecca kartensen stopped a male fan who looked less than 20 years old and asked the same question.

"How to say that." The male fans scratched their ears, thought for a while, and then said, "it's a very shocking movie. Only Murphy can make such a deep commercial movie."

"What's the score?" asked Rebecca cartanson

“A+！” He said with certainty, "it's definitely a +!"

In the following time, Rebecca kartensen collected more than a dozen comments from the audience. Just like the previous advance show, all of them were a + scores.

"Incomparable darkness"

"wonderful story!"

"A film at the top of the world!"

There are so many compliments like this that Rebecca cartanson is disgusted by them. She really wants to hear some fresh bad comments, but it's a pity that she didn't have a good time all night.

In theaters showing "dark city" in the United States, it was not until 5:30 a.m. that it gradually became quiet. But the next morning, hundreds of people lined up in front of the popular theaters in many cities before they opened their doors. At one time, the line was hundreds of feet.

With the increase of the number of theaters in North America, such a grand scene has not appeared for a long time.

At Beverly Hills' wave manor, the sun is just in the sky. After the morning transportation, Murphy and Gail gado wear short sportswear and walk into the back door of the villa from the garden.

Because there is an activity in Los Angeles today, after the premiere last night, the two people and the main crew took a private plane to return to the city of angels."I have a contract with Los Angeles International Airport."

When they enter the gate, Gail gado remembers one thing and says, "the plane can stop on the private apron of the International Airport in the future."

Gulfstream has delivered its business jet.

"Well, yes." Murphy closed the door, thought for a moment, and said, "the plane is called the gado."

Gail gado knew there was no need to be polite to Murphy about this kind of thing, and nodded, "I'll contact professionals to make and record it later."

Entering the living room, they took the towels handed by the servant and wiped the sweat off their faces. Murphy asked the housekeeper, "has the fax of 20th Century Fox and Carla Firth arrived yet?"

"Not yet." The housekeeper brought two glasses of water and said, "I've got someone on the other side of the fax machine."

Although it has entered the information age, Murphy and Kara Firth still keep the habit of sending faxes after the premiere.

Gail gado drank and reminded him, "maybe it's e-mail. I'll check it first."

"Together." Murphy follows.

Coming to the computer in the living room, Gail gado turns on the computer and quickly scans her and Murphy's mailbox. There is no email from 20th century fox or Carla Firth.

"Not yet." Gail gado shook his head. "It's going to be a little late."

Murphy is not in a hurry. After all, the pre-sale box office of the film is here. The attendance rate of the early show must be very high, even more than 90% is not a problem. The box office of the early show is certainly not bad.

Gayle gado opened the website and said, "let's look at the critics' comments first."

At last night's premiere, most of the famous film critics in the United States were invited by 20th century fox, except Roger Albert, who has passed away. They are full of confidence in the film and Murphy. They also think that the film not only meets the fans' appetite, but also is good for the critics. These so-called professional voices may not be very helpful to the box office, but they are good for it At the end of the film Impact Award season.

Murphy and 20th century fox are not just aiming for summer box office.

Gayle gado, regardless of Murphy behind him, was very devoted to watching the critics' reviews.

"The city of darkness is a dark and highly complex feature film. Since the beginning of the new century, it is difficult to find another crime film that can match it!"

"This is no exaggeration. In terms of conceptualization, creation, performance and directing, it surpasses the summer popcorn commercial films and even all the black crime films. Murphy Stanton's film, in the compact action plot design, uses more angles and broader perspectives to shoot. The nearly perfect picture shocks the audience. If you are lucky to enjoy the IMAX version, you will be more surprised and excited. "

"Murphy Stanton raised the vulgarity of commercial popcorn films to a very high level. He made the discussion about art films and commercial films worthless. The city of darkness not only shows the feeling of classical tragedy, but also discusses the contemporary hot topics such as terrorism and cross-border power. The most important thing is that the movie is perfect

-- Peter traki in the rolling stone

seeing this, Gail gado is in an excellent mood.

"The whole film is extremely smooth. Murphy Stanton makes a commercial film like this, which is absolutely at the level of a textbook. When he sees the end of the film, he naturally feels solemn and stirring. How can he calculate the cold time when the film is shown? Every minute is a visual feast, and it is beyond imagination. It seems that there is such a New York in the world, and the narrative is in full swing The plot arrangement of dense drum and the grand pattern of perfect combination make the angle of view change from the simple appeal of chivalry to the reflection of terrorism and the calm transposition thinking of centralizers. The technique is supplemented by fast-paced editing and exciting soundtrack. It has a kind of dramatic spirit of contemporary epic! "

-- Todd McCarthy, the Hollywood Reporter, is confident that the film will be well received.

"The film is not only full and exciting, but also detailed in character depiction and psychological changes, which is fascinating and thought-provoking at the same time. In the whole movie, the weakness of human nature is constantly pricked, and the choices forced to be made also test the darkness of human nature; justice will eventually defeat evil, precisely because of the brilliance of human nature.... "

- "Los Angeles Times" Kenneth Turan

later, Gail gado went to rotten tomato website to see, rotten tomato has collected 77 professional film reviews, with a high praise rate of 98% and an average comprehensive score of 8.9!

For a commercial film, this is definitely a very professional reputation.

She then opened the IMDB and looked at it. She turned to Murphy and said, "Congratulations, honey. The IMDB rating is 9.8 now!"

Murphy shrugged and didn't say anything. He was calm. Most of the people watching "dark city" now are his fans. It's natural that the score is high."Sir, miss..."

The housekeeper came in a hurry with a fax in her hand. "Miss fix just sent a fax from fox."
