Chapter 1523

Autumn is completely abandoned, and no one wants to be here. Therefore, "Raytheon 2: dark world" chose the second week of November, that is, the week after Halloween, aiming at the huge potential of Thanksgiving market, hoping to tap the audience enthusiasm of family market and fan market, expecting to achieve box office success.

But now things have changed.

"Gravity" has squeezed almost all the box office potential of the whole October. It seems that the viewing power of autumn and holiday stalls has all concentrated on this film. Then what? What's more, the holiday file belongs to the holiday file, and the ice and snow of the cold winter is coming, so the situation is getting worse.

Disney and marvel suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.

But now there is no turning back. There is no choice but to fight hard. Now they can only pray that the tail force of gravity will be exhausted in the next two weeks.

It's still some time before Raytheon 2's landing, and there's another noteworthy premiere in North America this week, "Captain Phillips.".

The film is directed by Paul Greengrass and starred by Tom Hanks.

Before, Paul and Langley ended the cooperation of "tomorrow's edge", he immediately put into the preparation and shooting of this work. In order to shoot this work, Paul gave up the opportunity of "extreme wind". In the preparatory stage, Paul once asked Langley for advice.

The film is based on the real events in 2009. It tells the story of an American ship being hijacked by Somali pirates in the Indian Ocean. This is the first time that an American ship has been hijacked by pirates in nearly two hundred years. Captain Richard Phillips takes the initiative to take himself as a hostage in exchange for the safe departure of other crew members, In the end, he also successfully escaped death.

The protagonist Captain Phillips is more than 50 years old, and the age of Langley is not suitable. Paul and Langley mainly discuss the creation of characters and the filling of details. Later, Paul raised the problem of actor selection, and Langley introduced Tom Hanks. After his matchmaking, Paul and Tom reached a cooperation.

After the official release of "Captain Phillips", there was a wave of praise. The comprehensive evaluation of the media was 83%, the fresh index of rotten tomatoes was 93%, the average score of the mass media was 8.3%, and the popcorn index was 89%. All the data were red, even better than "tomorrow's edge".

But this is not a pure commercial film, but a series of award season biographies like "Apollo 13", "Forrest Gump" and "beautiful soul", which have certain box office pull power. This is also Tom's best work type.

Instead of following the pace of point screening and expansion, the film was first released on a large scale in 3000 cinemas.

At the weekend of its premiere, the film won 25 million yuan, proving once again Tom's unique strong appeal in the North American market. Compared with the production cost of 55 million yuan, before entering the award season, the future of profit can be determined. If it is not for gravity, it is too bad, "Captain Phillips" can win the weekend box office.

Paul, Tom and Langley also maintain a good relationship, there is no spark of competition.

In the chat show, the host make complaints about the competition between the two films. Tom laughed and tucked up to "I should avoid blue ritual ahead of time." This guy is so annoying. You can see him everywhere. There's no place to escape. "

Then Paul took advantage of the situation and said, "I told you a long time ago, we should bring Langley over and perform together."

Tom said excitedly, "what about barkhad Abdi?"

There was a lot of laughter.

Bahad Abdi is an amateur actor from Mogadishu, Somalia. In order to present the most real and appropriate feeling of "Captain Phillips", Paul re screened all the pirates and selected a large number of amateur actors without any acting experience, including bahad.

I didn't expect that bahad's real and delicate shooting techniques made him shine, and now he has become a strong contender for the best supporting actor in the award season.

What Tom said just now was obviously making fun of Langley.

On the other hand, Lan Li also heard such remarks during the propaganda. He spread out his hands freely and said, "hoo, if it's the 1930s now, I'll nod and promise."

In the 1930s, because of the serious problem of racial discrimination, no black people were able to get on the big screen. When the plot needs it, white actors are used to blacken their skin and then act as black people. This happened not only in the era of black and white films, but also in the era of color films. Although some black people began to appear in films later, they were still in the minority.

It was not until 1939 when "gone with the wind" was born that Hattie McDaniel, who played the maid, won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in the following year with her wonderful performance. It was the first black man actor in history to win the best supporting actress, which changed the pattern of the whole society.

Why is the authority of the previous Oscars so important? It's because colleges can change society through art.

The reason why Langley refutes this is because bahad is black.

Witty and ingenious response immediately became a hot focus project, which spread widely in the form of virus video on social network, and inadvertently made an important promotion for the two films.

"Captain Phillips" and "gravity" are both awards season works, but the audience and market of the two works do not overlap, so naturally there is no spark of competition. What's more, now the strong momentum of "gravity" is unstoppable!

With the outbreak of box office in the next week, the discussion of "gravity" is still on the rise, and there is no sign that the fierce momentum will stop.

On the social network platform, "how real are the space environment and story details presented by gravity?" the discussion topics related to it have completed the feat of brushing the screen. In less than two weeks, the hot topic discussion has exceeded three million! And it is still continuous, which is also the height that "Avatar" could not reach.

Apart from the underdevelopment of social network in 2009, the most important factor is that "Avatar" created a Pandora planet, which is an independent world in the universe. All the imagination and system are based on James Cameron's imagination, which is a virtual world after all. Now there is only one story about "Avatar", The whole system is not as complete and large as "Star Wars", which limits people's enthusiasm for discussion to some extent.

But this time gravity is real.

Everything is based on real physics, which not only arouses the enthusiasm of the textual research party, but also is closer to people's life. Everyone can express their views and join the discussion. Even NASA's official social network platform has become the object of constant harassment. I hope they can discuss "gravity".

As a result, the "Tonight Show" keenly captured the opportunity, and Jay Leno invited former astronaut Garrett Reisman to the show.

The astronaut, who had actually entered space, performed three missions and spent three months in the space station; After retiring, he still worked in NASA as an astronaut safety training officer and mission assignment specialist, and always worked on the front line of space research.

He undoubtedly has a professional voice in space, in the universe, and in the phenomena related to gravity, because he has really experienced everything Ryan and Alex have witnessed - except explosions.

There is no doubt that after the announcement of the official recording, this issue of "Tonight Show" has become a favorite on the whole social network platform. Countless discussions have gathered. Everyone is looking forward to this issue of the show, not to mention the audience. Even Jay Leno himself is rubbing his hands.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is a popular program.

"I can't believe what I'm going to say next, but... Now young people all over America are interested in science and astronomy. God, I thought it was back in the 1980s." Jay Leno's opening remarks immediately made the audience burst into laughter - obviously alluding to the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union in the 1980s.

Jay Leno breathed out a long breath, "Whoa, but that's the truth. Even I started to study NASA documentaries. This time, I watched them for two hours before I fell asleep. This is a new record." After the end of the self tease, Jay Renault applauded today's guest Garrett lesman.

In a burst of cheers, Garrett came on the stage with some awkwardness and awkwardness.

At the end of the brief greeting, Jay Leno officially cut into the topic, "what do you think of it?"

"I think it's the most realistic space movie of all time. I mean, the guy named Langley hall looks just like me. Ha ha Garrett is also a lively personality, the first sentence ignited the laughter.

After a while, Garrett said, "in fact, I've been asked about this film since it was released. Even at my base in Houston, I've been asked about it dozens of times a day. To be honest, Now 'what's the movie like' is rapidly surpassing 'how big are you in space', which will officially become the most annoying problem for every astronaut. "

"Oh, that's too bad." Jay Renault, with a look of regret and wringing his wrist, exclaimed like the audience, but his idea was obviously different from that of the audience, "our next guest must be sad. What should we do? I dare not invite him out now. " Then he turned around and looked at the door. "Hey, man, otherwise, you'll stay in the back for video today. What do you think?"

"All right. Wait, what about the tea date this afternoon? " The door of the studio opened, and Langley appeared in front of the audience.
