Chapter 1457： Perfume release

Today's third update, please recommend, please subscribe!

In the autumn of 2006, the temperature did not cool down at all because of the end of summer. After the film summer season ended, it ushered in the prosperity of the record market. It was lively from September to February of the following year. This long-lost prosperity makes people double. Grateful. However, autumn has always been the incubation period for the film market. After the glory of the summer season, all the excitement has settled down, and the glory of the summer will be at least until November. The "Harry Potter" series has rediscovered the potential of the Thanksgiving season. . However, September and October are still depressed seasons.

Most of the films released in September and October are the works that started the outpost of the awards season, especially the works that have just returned from the Toronto Film Festival, and often choose October or November as the time point for full release in North America. Build up your strength for the upcoming awards season.

For example, "The Departed", and then "Perfume".

Martin Scorsese, the "uncrowned king" who has been nominated for the best director of the Oscar five times but returned empty-handed, joined hands with Jack Nicholson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Mark - Wahlberg, adapted from the classic script "Infernal Affairs" from Hong Kong, China, and cooked up the feast of "Infernal Affairs", which was highly anticipated long before its release.

Martin Scorsese has returned to his best gangster movies, and not repeating the mistakes of previous films that deliberately concealed his style in order to cater to the Oscars, "The Departed" is indeed something to look forward to.

After the release of "The Departed" on October 6, it won a lot of praise from the American public opinion circle, making the film instantly become the top seed in the competition for the Oscar statuette. Among them, "Rolling Stone", "Newsweek", Authoritative organizations such as "Premier", "Entertainment Online", "Hollywood Observer" have given full marks, and "Entertainment Weekly", "New York Times", "Chicago Tribune" and other media have also given high praise Attitudes of evaluation, denial, or skepticism have all but disappeared.

"The best Scorsese work since 'Goodfellas'", "A brand new crime classic is born", "The Departed" is completely word-of-mouth, and word-of-mouth is popular across the board, which also makes Martin Scorsese's Oscar prospects A new peak was reached in an instant.

However, it's only October, so it's too early to make an assertion, after all, there are still five full months left. In addition, Clint Eastwood, who won the Best Director Award from "The Aviator" last year with "Million Dollar Baby", has come out again, this time directed "Banner of the Fathers" and "Iwo Jima". Letters" is definitely Martin Scorsese's biggest rival. After all, Clint Eastwood is involved in the Academy's favorite World War II theme this time, and Paul Haggis, who is now among the gold medal screenwriters, has joined forces. Many media believe that next year's Oscar for best director is likely to reappear." Martin Scorsese vs. Clint Eastwood" final match.

In addition, Eleven Studios, which won the best picture from the "Aviator" by "Crash" last year, after winning the Oscar for the best picture for two consecutive years, this time led by the more mature Evan Bell, with The challenge of "perfume" is also expected.

In the past three years, Evan Bell has relied on "Mysterious Skin" and "Little Sunshine" to achieve the nomination of the best director for two consecutive years, and is definitely an indispensable member of the new generation. This time, the theme of "perfume" is an obscure serial killer's psychological exploration. If the film is good, it will be a classic, which is bound to make the academics more interested. Therefore, as a rising star, Evan Bell will also be an opponent that Martin Scorsese cannot ignore.

Of course, the fact that "perfume" is spoken in French is definitely an Achilles heel for the film to impact the various awards of the American awards season, which no one can ignore.

There are still five months before the Oscars. The competition for the awards season has actually started. To be precise, after the Toronto Film Festival is over, it is already the radiation range of the awards season. After the release of "The Departed", the "Perfume" immediately hit the showdown between the two sides.

"The Departed" was released on October 6 and earned $26 million at the box office in its first week. It successfully won the North American box office championship in the first week of October. The eighth place is also Martin Scorsese's best-grossing work. This has already made people see the huge potential of Martin Scorsese to hit the Oscars this time.

The only thing that worries me is that October is really not a peak season for the box office. Among the films released in October, only four films finally broke the $100 million box office. This data is really shocking. You know, there are rumors in the market that in order to win the Oscar for Best Picture, the box office must approach or exceed 100 million.

This is not absolute, but it is also one of the key factors that must be considered.

But then, "Perfume" also joined the box office competition in October. Unlike the media's concerns about box office and awards, Evan Bell will arrange this schedule, but there are not so many considerations. After returning from the Toronto Film Festival, Kurt Laporte and Bernard Isenger discussed that if the release is postponed to November, the competition will also get together, and "Perfume" will not participate in the Gotham Awards this year, so in October It's more appropriate to show it first. Therefore, the North American release on October 13 was arranged.

At the New York premiere of "Perfume", Evan Bell took Taylor Swift on the red carpet, which surprised all the media. This, what the **** is going on here?

Taylor Swift, a young talented girl who turned 17 at the end of this year, has released her first solo album, and her exposure has risen rapidly under the efforts of Eleven Studios. Of course, the most important thing is that this little girl is really impressive in terms of creative talent, and her debut single "Tim McGraw" has won widespread praise from music critics. Next week, Taylor Swift's self-titled debut album will be released soon, and some media have already expressed their expectations early, showing great interest in this rising star in the country field.

Evan Bell took Taylor Swift to the New York premiere of "Perfume", essentially giving her a glimpse of the world and then promoting her upcoming album next week.

It's not that reporters haven't thought about this idea, but they don't want to let Evan Bell go so easily. The topic has already been put in front of them. If they follow Evan Bell's wishes so easily, then they will Not a media reporter.

So, gossip, see gossip again. This time, reporters put Evan Bell and Taylor Swift together again, concocting the latest scandal.

For Evan Bell, the gossip generator, the gossip itself is not uncommon, but the object of the gossip. This time, Taylor Swift, who is only sixteen years old and is also a singer-songwriter, immediately attracted the interest of the public. Supermarket gossip tabloids such as The Globe even broke the news that Evan Bell was unspoken about Taylor Swift and used her power to force Taylor Swift to be with him. Such negative news made people laugh out loud.

But it is undeniable that in the entertainment industry, scandals have always been the first choice for news hype, and the popularity always exceeds expectations. Especially when the target of the scandal is a public lover like Evan Bell, the news becomes more and more popular. Overnight, Taylor Swift's name became a top search term.

However, gossip is a gossip, and gossip can only drive awareness. The real recognition still depends on strength and works to lay the foundation. Taylor Swift has only been out for a few months, and the road has only just begun.

The U.S. release of "Perfume" attracted a lot of attention. There are many reasons for it. Aside from all the off-site factors, including the original novel, Evan Bell, etc., just talking about the work itself is enough to make people very interested.

When "Perfume" premiered in Cannes in May, it triggered two extreme comments. The tragic scene of those film critics almost rolling up their sleeves and fighting directly made people curious about the film itself; and last month "Perfume" "When I met the audience at the Toronto Film Festival, it detonated the media like a flood of discussions for the second time. Both professionals and audiences have very complicated feelings about this film. People who like it highly respect it, and people who hate it absolutely. Rejection, but whether you like it or hate it The topicality of the movie itself is very hot.

Professional commentators and audiences have a view on whether the protagonist of the movie is righteous or evil, how the story should be positioned for Dorud, how every detail of the protagonist's psychological transformation is presented, and how the world of smell is constructed... From professional From the perspective of "Perfume", the film has too many unstoppable focuses.

It is such a controversial work on the cusp, but it won the Cannes Best Director Award for Evan Bell, and then accidentally won the International Film Critics Fabisi Award at the Toronto Film Festival, although this is not a Toronto film. It is the most important People's Choice Award of the festival, but it is the jury's affirmation of the film "Perfume", which shows the position of the film critics.

Such a controversial but hot work has naturally attracted the attention of countless media and audiences. The New York premiere of "Perfume" drew a huge lineup of 80 journalists -- partly due to the Evan Bell-Justin Timberlake showdown, and more than 2,000 more The audience's support outside the cinema has also made "Perfume" a French-language film that has received unprecedented attention in the American market.

You know, foreign language films have always struggled in the American market. This time, can "perfume" break this deadlock again?
