Andy Rogers knows Randy well enough, but even now, he doesn't dare to say that he knows Randy completely. There are still many secrets hidden in him; But today, Andy also has to admit that, at least in the professional level, those senior reporters have no less understanding of Langley than him, or even better than him to some extent - after all, he has inside information, but the reporters don't.
Bradley Adams of the New York Times is one of them.
Bradley is a reporter, not a film critic. The New York Times film review is written by Elizabeth weizman, who scored 90 points; Bradley was responsible for reporting the film from his own perspective, and he pieced together the truth from the limited information.
The story between lanli and the script, the reason why lanli modified Owen's role... These twists and turns hidden behind the scenes are exactly the focus of the discussion of "bad reviews, medium reviews and good reviews", which directly proves the indirect relationship between lanli and the quality of the finished film, which is very interesting.
Although the "invincible aura" of Langley is widely spread in Hollywood, even the six major film companies are no exception. They can't wait to discuss the influence of the name "Langley hall" on the film project, and then they rush to get more benefits with the help of Langley.
But in fact, there are still a few people in the industry who really understand the meaning of "aura of invincibility". It seems that "aura" is just an invisible concept, just like unconditional trust in God. Only from the "miracles" of box office success, we can infer that this aura is objective, but no one can know why Langley is invincible? What is the relationship between the quality of works and blue rite? Can it be replicated?
Now Bradley gives his own answer: the so-called "aura of invincibility" is not only a kind of intuition. Langley clearly knows what he is doing, but also how he should do it. This enables Langley to lead the work to the right path and finally find the password for success through script suggestions and producer responsibilities, It can be copied and is being copied.
From the improvement of the quality of "Jurassic world" finished products to Lanley's ability as a producer, to the development prospect of Sisyphus pictures
Bradley's game is not big. Of course, Bradley didn't openly praise Langley and Sisyphus. Now it's just a publicity campaign. He unconsciously transfers Langley's invincible aura of actors to the invincible aura of producers. When the time is ripe and the popular image is established, Sisyphus will be able to successfully open up the situation.
But I don't know what role the "New York Times" played behind it.
Andy is more interested in Bradley's follow-up report than those good reviews. Then he thinks carefully whether he should add fuel to the fire, and how to guide him quietly... For a moment, countless thoughts in his mind begin to surge.
It took Andy a while to get back to his mind and go on with the rest of the comments.
Each review has its own perspective and point of view, the score is not the same, but the final statistics, we can get a glimpse of the overall trend of film reviews.
There are 49 first film reviews, three poor reviews, 15 medium reviews and 31 favorable reviews.
On the whole, in the series of lanli's works, it is not the best but not the worst, but still above the standard; However, the score of high praise obviously did not reach the height of "praise frenzy". There were only five reviews with more than 90 points, and the main score was still between 70 and 80 points.
But just as the "Hollywood Reporter" said: This is a popcorn suitable for the summer season, which is more popular with audiences than "tomorrow's edge", "Star Trek" and other works, and its positioning should be closer to "speed and passion 5". The score of media comprehensive evaluation just proves this kind of approachable characteristic.
73.
This is the final media comprehensive evaluation score of "Jurassic world". The first batch of comments from 49 media, with an average score of 73.
Compared with countless "career best" in the past two years, the score and evaluation heat are far less, and the downward trend is particularly obvious. However, 73 points are still above the standard. For commercial films, they have reached the height of "good". If Colin Trevor completes the work smoothly, he will be able to achieve the goal.
After carefully scanning all the comments, Andy's serious look between his eyebrows has disappeared. Only from the comprehensive media review can we judge that "Jurassic world" has achieved half of the success - the word-of-mouth level still maintains the consistent level of Langley, at least not disappointing.
What's more, other scores are all red.
The fresh index of rotten tomato was 83%; The mass media score is 7.8.
Popcorn index, 93 percent.
Cinema score, "a +".
All round outbreak! It's worth mentioning that this is the first movie in lanli's history that scored "a +"!
To be sure, lanli is now at the top of the Hollywood pyramid, and there is no doubt about its box office appeal. However, because the performing works are mainly art films, even commercial films are not the regular route, which also means that there is a certain gap between lanli and the main audience in the market——
The summer travel curve of "tomorrow's edge" and "Star Trek" is the best proof.
Now, lanli's first movie with a full score has finally appeared, which makes the news media unable to bear the excitement.
Is it true that lanli is about to usher in the outbreak of its heyday?
If you add in the good data such as rotten tomatoes and popcorn, all the evidence is that this summer's season may be the best opportunity for lanli.
"Half success", as Andy thinks, from the perspective of lanli's position in the industry and market, excellent word-of-mouth can only be regarded as the first step of success. If there is no outbreak of box office data, it is still far from a successful work for lanli.
So, in line with the box office expectations of lanli, what height should it reach?
So far, the highest box office data of lanli's individual works is gravity, with 635 million in North America and 1643 million in the world, which is still the highest; In addition, in North America, 500 million of "tomorrow's edge" and 400 million of "Star Trek" are closely followed. These are also the three global box office hits of 1.1 billion, which have created the incomparable position of the industry.
"Even" tomorrow's edge "and" interstellar crossing "have exceeded 400 million in North America, so does" Jurassic world "need at least 500 million to keep a minimum?"
Look, this is the expectation of the whole industry for lanli.
Even if they deeply understand that the market box office is definitely not just a feat that can be accomplished by Langley's appeal alone. There are too many factors that affect it. Without too many examples, the North American box office of "Avengers Alliance 2" may stop at 450 million, which can explain too many problems.
But people in the industry still have too many expectations for lanli, even surpassing the marvel superheroes represented by Robert Downey Jr.
"Jurassic world" takes the lead in media word-of-mouth, which also makes the expectation of the news media for the box office trend continue to rise.
The heat almost broke the watch.
After the grand premiere that rocked North America, "Entertainment Weekly" took the lead in making predictions that the box office of the premiere weekend of "Jurassic world" will reach at least 180 million US dollars, and it has a level of impact of 200 million US dollars - even more than that of "Avengers Alliance 2".
Expectations are so high that people are not sure whether Entertainment Weekly is sincere or winning.
Not long ago, "Avengers Alliance 2" officially premiered. At that time, the major media predicted that the box office of the film's premiere weekend was likely to exceed 200 million, creating a new record in North American film history——
Up to now, only one work has been able to break the $200 million threshold at the premiere weekend. It is the "Avengers alliance" in 2012, with a data of 207 million, which has caused a sensation all over the world. This also makes people full of more expectations for the sequel film, hoping to go to a higher level.
But in the end, the $190 million premiere data, still a sensation, still shocking, but disappointing, leading to "Avengers 2" late box office trend curve plummeted.
Now, "Entertainment Weekly" can't wait to put its "hat" on the head of "Jurassic world". Compared with last year's summer camp, everyone was waiting for the works with the box office exceeding 100 million at the weekend. Is it too hasty? Is that too much? What the hell is going on?
The reality is that not only entertainment weekly, but also other news media have the same box office forecast.
The New York Times predicts 150 million.
The Los Angeles Times predicts 170 million.
Hollywood Reporter predicts 140 million.
The forecast figures of the three authoritative media are simple and clear. Even the most cautious and low-key media have extremely high expectations for the box office performance of the film. Everyone is looking forward to it. Lanli will be able to make a big hit in the summer season, proving his prestige as "the first person in Hollywood". However, the first batch of comments after the premiere of "Jurassic world" already have such ability, so there is no reason to be conservative.
In the first round of weekend box office forecast, the lowest number comes from "empire". They think that the opening weekend box office of "Jurassic world" should be maintained at 120 million; The highest number is predicted by Entertainment Weekly.
From these small details, we can see that all the media around the world are focusing on the line of sight, looking forward to "the magic of blue rite" to create a miracle again.
This kind of expectation makes the pressure rising, even surpassing the momentum before the release of "Avengers 2". This is a good thing, but also a bad thing.
Even Andy is a little nervous - because the box office is an unknown that can't be controlled or predicted. So what will happen?
