Chapter 477： coming soon

"The majestic Roman Empire arena, enthusiastic spectators shouting crazily, bright petals falling all over the sky, horses galloping horizontally and horizontally, warriors raising their swords immediately..."

Even if the colors of eyes and hair are changed, even if the helmet covers the face, the silhouettes in the trailer are still exciting. Gene believes that Ryan will definitely bring an epic super masterpiece!

After watching the TV station's prime time trailer, Gene turned off the TV and sat in front of the computer.

"Honey, have you got your tickets for the premiere?" He asked his wife Luya.

"It's still a week away." Luya walked over from the other side, "You are always so anxious."

"Do you know how difficult it is to get tickets for the premiere?" While waiting for the computer to start up, Gene recalled the past. "Let's say that the night we met, my father and I were able to participate in "Remains of a Deserted Island". The premiere is all luck. Of course, thank God for letting me know you there."

"Thank you Ryan, it was his movie that brought us together." It was obvious that Luya was the girl who sat next to him.

"It's incredible to think about it now." Gene hugged his wife lightly and whispered, "Ryan did not hold the premiere last year, so we can't miss it this year."

"Didn't Ryan ask you to eat a burger?" Luya joked, and then said politely, "Actually, I'm a little worried..."

"What are you worried about?" Gene looked at his wife.

""Gladiator" is obviously used by Ryan to win awards." Luya said the consensus of many people, "I am worried that the movie will be very dull, it will be as depressing as "The Pianist", you know, I don't like it. That kind of movie."

"My dear, do you think a film with a 100 million dollar investment. Will it be that style?" Gene shook his head, picked up the mouse, and quickly opened Yahoo's main business, and read to the above several news. "One hundred million dollars in production costs. Jenkins Pictures creates the pinnacle of an epic film! Ryan personally went into battle, in front of the fierce Siberian tiger. A **** gladiatorial battle with professional fighters! Ryan Jenkins and Leonardo Decca The two superstars of Prio clashed fiercely, performing the ultimate gladiator duel..."

There are many such breaking news. It seems that Yahoo's entertainment section has been completely invaded by "Gladiator", and as the release date approaches. More and more pictures and inside information appeared on the Internet.

"Well, maybe my worry is really unnecessary." Luya shrugged and continued to do her housework. Before leaving, she said, "I hope this film can maintain "Titanic" and "Remains of a Deserted Island." Level."

"Sure, dear, you don't believe in others. Don't you still believe in Ryan?"

Turning off Yahoo, Gene went to Ryan’s official website again. This website became the biggest paradise for supporters in the first half of this year.

A huge promotional poster for "Gladiator". Hanging in the most conspicuous part of the website, Ryan holds a sword in one hand, his eyes are firm, both as mighty as a lion, and as hard as a rock. It seems that for the faith in his heart, he will not hesitate to pay the price of his life.

In Jean’s impression, Ryan had never filmed an action movie. Well, "Terminator 2" is a sci-fi action drama. How old was he at that time? In fact, it is just a saved one.

Now that the media is hyping up, in addition to Maximus in "Gladiator", Ryan also has the king Aragorn in "The Lord of the Rings" and Anakin Skywalker in "Star Wars". Action role, does he like action movies now?

He couldn't help thinking of the rumors some time ago. If the schedule weren't right, Ryan might have taken over Peter Parker.

However, Ryan doesn't seem to be in line with Spider-Man in terms of image or personal experience.

If you let yourself choose, Ryan is the most suitable Captain America. In reality, Ryan, just like Steve Rogers in the comics, is the best representative of the American spirit!

After dispelling his own random thoughts, Gene opened the message section, which has always been a concentrated place for die-hard fans. Although a few abusers occasionally run out, in front of a large number of supporters, even the smallest waves can't be turned up.

"The Boston Cinema Group is ready, and currently 16,000 people are ready to buy tickets in advance..."

"The box office in the Greater Pittsburgh area is handed over to us!"

"Ryan's first film was shot in Philadelphia. Philadelphia has the largest support group."

"New York is Ryan's second hometown, where he has his best friend and strongest supporter!"

"A fan from London said that Britain is Ryan's second hometown!"

The message board is full of supportive voices. After a year of hard work, the fans finally waited for the new work, and they seemed to be impatient.

However, last year's "The Pianist" obviously left a shadow like Luya in some people's hearts.

"What if the movie "The Pianist" is as dull?"

As soon as this voice appeared, it was completely suppressed by a series of rebuttals.

"Have you never watched the trailer? Is that the atmosphere and rhythm of a literary film?"

"A literary film with a production cost of 100 million dollars? Do you think the world is crazy?"

"Last year, Ryan promised us that in the future, filming movies will first take care of our viewing experience."

After browsing briefly, Gene knocked out his message-this Christmas, belongs to Ryan and "Gladiator", the theater meets, see or leave!

In the eyes of these supporters, the so-called ‘plagiarism’ litigation is simply a joke even more ridiculous than God’s sudden change into Satan.

At the same time, in the vineyards of the Napa River Valley, Nicole Kidman was also browsing this website, looking at the extremely familiar figures hanging in the prominent position of the website, she couldn't tell the complexity.

Naomi Watts, who had been with her to relax, walked over, looked at the LCD screen, and asked, "Nicole, shall we go to the premiere?"

"Why are you going?" Nicole's fingers holding the mouse turned white, as if she wanted to crush the mouse as the key to some bastard.

Naomi didn’t say much, she just hugged her friend’s shoulders lightly, and comforted, “Time will eventually solve all of this. Although there is not much contact with Ryan, I believe he has always been most concerned about you. ."

"Thank you for everything, Nami." Nicole's words revealed sincerity, and then changed her tone. "Does he really care about me? A man's ambition and **** will never be filled."

At the end, it turned into gritted teeth.

The time has entered the week before Christmas. Because "Gladiator" will be released next weekend, the most intense period in previous years seems a bit deserted, even "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". The movies on the subject were moved to the beginning of December.

As for the terrible box office of "The Pianist" last year, no one who really understands the movie is not sure. Even if this kind of movie is so hyped, it is impossible to sell it. The type of movie restricts its box office, which has nothing to do with personal appeal. Too much relationship.

If a small-cost niche movie can be sold by relying only on a well-known actor and director, or by hype, Hollywood's profit-seeking filmmakers will have to work hard to get hundreds of millions of dollars. The big production?

The market has its inevitable laws, just like if Ryan appeared in a large-scale commercial film, no one would dare to ignore the potential influence of this film.

The big productions selected for Christmas this year lacked enough influential family movies. Instead, they are epic films. The two super blockbuster films with a production cost of about 100 million U.S. dollars will have a head-to-head ‘showdown’.

This weekend, the production cost was as high as 95 million US dollars. The French director Jean Jacques Arnault personally created the three British actors Jude Law, Rachel Vichy and Ralph Fiennes. At the box office, the war epic film "Saving Private Ryan" was completely overturned-"The Soldiers Are Under the City"-the first to land on North American theaters.

However, the film was hit hard before it was released. Although the German producer signed a distribution agreement with Paramount, it did not pay a certain amount of publicity deposit due to funding problems, which resulted in the film’s publicity being not in place and it was released. At the previous theater trial conference, representatives from theaters unanimously watched the movie, resulting in only more than 1,500 theaters signing contracts.

Of course, the publicity and theatrical line are insufficient, and there are not a few movies that have successfully comebacks in the later period, such as the previous "Titanic", but there is a premise that the quality of the film must be excellent.

How is the quality of the movie?

Audiences who like snipers will definitely feel that the duel inside is full of romanticism. Unfortunately, the movies about World War II that can be sold in North America are all realistic or reflective types, plus the inherent weakness of setting and actors. , The result is that the critics and the audience unanimously do not buy it.

If the audience focuses on the core story of the sharpshooter and sharpshooter contest, UU read and don’t mind the chaotic Southern-Northern Tuning or the very unreliable sideline of the love story, or whatever. Personal relationship-then maybe you will enjoy it.

However, the terrible character dialogue, the inexplicable dog-blood love triangle, and the mediocre level of directing make this movie a very ordinary work.

In the first week, 1509 theaters won US$13.81 million. This is the first week of box office performance of "Arrived at the City" in North America. For a film with an investment of nearly 100 million US dollars, the first week’s single library score is less than 10,000, which is simply a huge one. disaster.

Not to mention winning the North American weekly box office championship with such results, even the "Monster Electric Company", which has been in theaters for several weeks, is not as good.

In the second week, the movie’s theater line increased by more than a hundred. Before the weekend, the box office was still bleak, with only a figure of more than 3 million U.S. dollars, which proved that it was not just a publicity problem, but this movie. Movies are simply not suitable for the market.

Although there is still one weekend to re-prove yourself, this weekend, the strongest competitor of the Christmas file will be released soon! ()
