Chapter 351

"The biggest surprise of Christmas this year is undoubtedly Paramount's mission impossible!"

Roger Albert is beating on an old typewriter in the rich quarter of Long Island, New York.

As a well-known film critic, he has already been invited by Hollywood to watch three films.

But Christmas is different from other time, too many people will go into the cinema.

Therefore, Roger Albert will first observe the word-of-mouth of the premieres of these films, instead of directly commenting on them according to their personal likes and dislikes, just like many art films.

"At this time, we should keep in line with the audience in order to expand our influence. It's not for the sake of aesthetics, it's deliberately different. "

Roger put down his coffee and continued to hit the keyboard.

"Although in commercial films, heroic and handsome actors, beautiful actresses, wonderful action plays and plot reversal are not new."

"But it's extremely rare to be able to combine these factors perfectly like" mission impossible "and then deduce them just right by super long playing superstar Tom Cruz."

"In a word, unless you're disgusted with action movies, mission impossible is definitely your first choice to go into the cinema."

"If you want to watch the movie with the whole family and don't want to be embarrassed by the intimate scenes, then 101 spotted dog should be able to satisfy you."

"This Disney movie retains its usual" good people win, bad people will lose ", warm and sweet family style

"As we all know, it will be very difficult for animals to play the leading role."

"But in this film, the way the director deals with it is textbook level."

"The villain, played by Glenn cross, is funny, funny and not frightening, and has not been suppressed."

"I believe 101 spotted dog will make children very happy."

After writing this passage, the famous film critic felt relaxed.

Because the following "cut throat island" can return to his familiar rhythm.

"Criticism is more relaxing than praise."

Roger continued to type as he laughed and talked to himself.

"I don't recommend you to watch Universal's cut throat island."

"This pirate themed film, which is well known to have invested more than 100 million yuan, completely does not reflect the weird and ferocious nature of this legendary profession."

"It was supposed to be an extremely dangerous treasure hunt, but it was also photographed as if the male and female protagonists were on a honeymoon trip."

"This movie makes me very confused. After all, I'm so rich, a project in the world, has changed the theme of the novel, but it's still wonderful."

"It wasn't until I found out that there were French people in the studio that I understood all this."

"But if you want to make romantic movies, why choose Gina Davis, a 40 year old actress famous for her acting skills?"

After dozens of minutes of writing with extremely mean words, he finally nodded with satisfaction and handed the manuscript to the agent.

"Roger," the agent looked at the manuscript and said suspiciously, "isn't it inappropriate for criticism to occupy such a large space?"

"After all, cut throat island is produced by universal!"

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, the film itself is terrible." The critic shrugged his shoulders and didn't care.

"Besides," Roger said with a smile, "I'm not the only one who takes the money. Most people do."

It's just Few people should know who provided the funds

To tell you the truth, when someone came to write a bad review of "cut throat island" in the name of Disney and Viacom, he couldn't believe it.

When film critics face Hollywood's big six, they are weak after all.

Therefore, when it comes to these big production companies, they only charge PR fees for the praise of a film.

When writing bad reviews, we should stick to our integrity and not charge public relations fees.

Basically, it's a hidden rule between film critics and production companies.

After all, the fight between the giants is very dangerous.

If they are careless in this respect, they will be doomed.

But the two giants actually want to break this rule, and also provide super high public relations fees?

Cut throat island is produced by universal, not Columbia, which is controlled by Benzi.

The source also claimed that if universal attacked the critics, the two media groups would provide protection.

With greed and curiosity, Roger Albert had a long struggle.

Then, the person who provided the funds finally showed his true face impatiently.

To the surprise of film critics, the sponsors are not Viacom and Disney, two giants that compete with cut throat island.

It's not a movie star like Tom Cruz who has the box office pressure of monoclonal antibody."Larry Elson?" Roger thought for a while, still don't understand this big guy, why to aim at "cut throat island".

But

Technology elites, it's really generous!

The well-known film critic thought and felt for the check in the drawer.

……

Meanwhile, in the office of the chairman of universal.

Little Bronfman looked at the document handed over by President Ron Meyer, his face gloomy and frightening.

Cut throat Island, which he had high hopes for, was at the bottom of the box office on the first day.

This kind of achievement, not to mention during the Christmas period, even in the off-season, is also a bad film booking.

Little Bronfman raised his head and glared at his subordinate, Ron Meyer.

Just a few days ago, he vowed to himself that "brave heart can make a big difference, and its bigger investment in cut throat island will surely succeed."

Fu n Dai shook his head, trying not to recall the picture in his mind.

Now is not the time to investigate the responsibility, the important thing is to change.

"Is it possible that cut throat Island, like Hitchcock's early films, has a bad box office performance on the first day, but ultimately relies on word-of-mouth to counter attack?"

Ron Mayer bowed his head and did not dare to look at his boss.

Although he wanted to nod his head, it came from my comfort.

But reason told him not to lie at this time.

"It's hard..." Ron Mayer took out the original as an agent, in front of the star low posture.

"Behind the rapid spread of the good reputation of those films is the promotion of film critics."

"Then increase public relations expenses and buy off famous film critics like Roger Abbott and Calvin bolon!" Little Bronfman threw the papers on the table and said aloud.

"I've tried..." Ron Meyer's head is even lower. "Universal has provided them with far more PR fees than ever before."

"But those people refused to accept it, and they attacked" cut throat island "crazily!"

Are film critics so ethical?

Little Bronfman thought for a moment and shook his head slightly.

"Has there ever been a phenomenon that film critics don't charge public relations fees for a film?"

"This kind of phenomenon, which only needs good comments, but does not charge public relations fees collectively," Ron Meyer thought for a moment. "There should be no such phenomenon!"

"Someone's doing something behind your back!" Little brown man responded immediately.

But

Who has the ability and motivation?

He took a sip of his coffee and his brain was spinning wildly.

All of a sudden, things that happened some time ago come back to my mind.

"Eisner, Redstone?"

Some time ago, they also asked themselves to give up negotiations with the website.

And "101 spotted dog" and "mission impossible" are produced by the other side's studios respectively, competing with "cut throat island".

Little Bronfman's eyes became deep. He picked up the phone and pressed the area code of Canada.

Hehe, everyone is Jewish

What a mother fucker!

"Father, Redstone and Eisner..." This rich n generation, said to the microphone.
