Chapter 1514

"Seeing and listening", 100 points, "a cinema film with epoch-making significance! Alfonso Caron has proved with a masterpiece that goes down in history that the film still belongs to the cinema. There is no doubt that it is a visual effect work that surpasses "Avatar" and brings unprecedented experience of cinema viewing! "

At the end of the premiere of "gravity", the British professional film magazine "seeing and listening" immediately sent a comment, and boldly and arrogantly said that this is a work beyond "Avatar". The words and sentences revealed their crazy official setting, which undoubtedly pushed the film's high praise to a new high.

But at the same time, it also ushered in numerous controversies for the film.

Simply from the perspective of media review, avatar, which gained 83% in that year, is indeed not one of the highest rated film works by film critics; However, no one can deny the important position of this work in the history of the film industry. Whether it is the historical breakthrough of the first US $700 million box office in North America, or the comprehensive innovation of 3D technology for the cinema viewing experience, it is a work with the significance of the times.

Now, "seeing and listening" magazine directly uses the word "beyond". On the one hand, it pushes the expectation to an unparalleled height; On the other hand, James Cameron's supporters are completely angry, in short, "recruiting gangsters.".

American Weekly's keen sense of news is undoubtedly among the top in the industry. Journalist Gavin hunt seems to have anticipated the arrival of this day. During the Toronto Film Festival, he made an appointment to interview James Cameron and released James's official response after the premiere.

"The strongest space science fiction movie in history."

That's what James Cameron said.

Throughout the interview, James said bluntly, "in terms of technology, Alfonso has made another breakthrough. He has almost reached a perfect state in controlling weightlessness and spacewalk; In terms of visual effects, compared with Avatar, gravity has made an admirable breakthrough and progress, which is undoubtedly an exciting and exciting result. I think it's an important breakthrough for the whole film industry. "

"From this point of view, I don't think the media comments are wrong. On the contrary, I agree with them. I was very, very happy to see the appearance of gravity. At the New York Film Festival, Alfonso and I met, and I expressed my admiration and admiration for his work. Of course, when I make Avatar 2 in the future, I also look forward to surpassing the visual experience achievements brought about by gravity

"This is a very excellent work. Personally, in less than five years, the development and progress of technology are amazing. Alfonso has accomplished an impossible task. I don't think gravity is better than avatar, but I agree that these are two equally good works. "

"I strongly recommend that all fans of avatar go to the cinema to support the film. Personally, I have already reserved tickets for the weekend and am ready to watch it again. I like some of the plot details in the film."

In the official response, James gave his praise with a positive attitude.

Anyone who knows James well knows that he has unparalleled confidence in his professional and technical fields, and even has reached the level of arrogance and narcissism - but every artist has such qualities, and James presents them in his own way, which Hollywood executives are used to, "Gravity" can be praised and recognized by James, which is undoubtedly the best affirmation of Alfonso.

Although James supports "gravity" officially, the fans of "Avatar" still don't completely calm down. The anger and protest are still boiling on the social network, trying their best to maintain their "masterpiece" in mind, and calling on the majority of fans to join hands to resist "gravity", This is also a trend that Warner brothers did not expect at all.

However, happiness and disaster depend on each other, and advantages and disadvantages are integrated. Everything is one and two sides.

The boycott campaign launched by fanatical fans of "Avatar" on the social network has aroused the curiosity and interest of more ordinary audiences.

Originally, the film festival was well received, and people always took it for granted that this was an art film of the award season; In addition to the special attributes of autumn stalls, many ordinary viewers are away from the audience. But now that "gravity" and "Avatar" are directly and indirectly linked, especially the boycott activities of those fanatical fans, the fixed impression of ordinary viewers is gradually reversed.

Is this a blessing in disguise? Then only the box office figures can prove it.

The short review of "seeing and listening" is just a part of the wave of praise. After the premiere of "gravity", the data of comprehensive media review, rotten tomato index and other reviews are fully open, and the interested audience can finally have a more intuitive and vivid evaluation feedback.

Media comprehensive review, 54 media comprehensive review finally settled in 99!

There is no doubt that this is the best space movie in film history. It not only surpasses 83 points of "Avatar", "74 points of" Inception "," 82 points of "2001 Space Odyssey" and 82 points of "Batman: The Dark Knight", but also becomes the first movie of its kind.

It also surpassed 62 points of the box office champion "Iron Man 3" in the first half of 2013, 62 points of the year-end box office champion "Avengers League" in 2012, 87 points of the year-end box office champion "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (2)" in 2011, 92 points of the year-end box office champion "Toy Story 3" in 2010, and so on, It has become the highest rated commercial film in recent years.

To be exact, this is the highest comprehensive media rating commercial film in history. The previous record was maintained by "gone with the wind" in 1940. This color film era masterpiece won 97% of the comprehensive media rating, which is equal to the score of "passionate" starred by Marilyn Monroe in 1959, and is also listed as the best commercial film in film history.

Then came Pixar's "rat king" in 2007. This animated commercial film is far ahead of many real-life works with 96% comprehensive media reviews, and has become a good reputation champion of commercial films in the new century.

Until now.

Gravity officially broke the record. This is a milestone! The whole industry has triggered a frenzy of discussion within the milestone!

Along with the emergence of a wave of praise, the industry has also revealed that the new CEO of Warner Bros. Kevin yuan actually does not like this work: it is too simple, too abstruse and too tricky. It's not aimed at Langley, but at the post production stage of the film.

Kevin yuan thought that the box office of the film would be a fiasco, even worse than last year's "super warship" and "alien battlefield".

In the later stage of shooting, Alfonso applied for an increase in budget investment, because the cost of special effects production exceeded the plan, and they needed a sum of about 10 million yuan. However, Kevin strongly opposed it, and even spared no effort to fight against Barry Meyer. Finally, the parent group of Warner chose to support Kevin, and the budget could not be approved. Alfonso had to tighten his clothes and eat, move around, and cut some lens ideas, stumbling to complete the production of the whole work.

During the post production period, Kevin took over the CEO position of Barry and faced a company that needed to be reorganized. He didn't interfere in Alfonso's editing work for the time being, but he has been interfering in the publicity and distribution work, reducing the exhibition venues, the premiere expenses, the publicity expenses, and so on.

A simple horizontal comparison shows that the premiere of "gravity" completely relies on fans, while last year's premiere of "tomorrow's edge" created the most innovative event in film history. From scale to treatment, it can be said that there is a huge difference. According to professional estimates, the investment cost of the two premieres is almost four times different.

In addition, the number of "gravity" public venues has also been greatly reduced to only 3500.

What value is this? There are more than 4000 screening venues for summer commercial films, including animation and comedy; Among the top 15 box office productions in the first half of the year, the only one with fewer venues than gravity is "hot cop", a 40 million dollar comedy starring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy.

Geoff Robino, who left Warner Brothers, couldn't help make complaints about the private party. "Alfonso is dancing ballet on the tip of the knife. Even if there is a blue rite, they are not in a good position. Now lanli's body is branded with Barry's brand, some people are always reluctant to see the old will continue

A son of heaven and a courtier.

If we look at the cooperation negotiation process of "Star Trek", it seems that Jeff robinov's point of view has been further confirmed; Returning to "gravity", we can see that the situation of this work is not so wonderful. We can smell the signs from Venice.

But who would have thought that "gravity" not only set off a wave of praise, but also broke the historical record and reached an incredible height. Now the momentum has some irresistible posture, which makes people curious——

How much can the suck box office be built on the strong appeal of the blue festival in the case of Warner Bros.'s propaganda? How long will the long-term advantage of good word-of-mouth in box office last? The most important thing is, what kind of results can be achieved in the final North American and global box office?

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

At least from now on, the balance of the situation is tilting towards "gravity" bit by bit. In addition to the media comprehensive evaluation, rotten tomatoes, cinema score and IMDB score are ushering in a full-scale outbreak of fanaticism!
