Chapter 1000： Fight in the air

\"&　　"" Xiang "" posted a battle, or to be more precise, it should be Tom Cruise teamed up with Brad Pitt to fight Hugo -.

But no matter what kind of argument it is, the whole market is boiling. Even if people know that a movie that has been released for four weeks cannot compete with the movie released in the first week, they still look forward to such a result with enthusiasm, even if there is no way to form it. In a head-on confrontation, the two works can also be played against each other in the air. For example, if you compare the box office of the premiere of "" to the box office of "", the box office competition in the same period is much fairer.

At this moment, people seem to ignore the fact that "" is an investment of only 8 million U.S. dollars, while "" costs 60 million and is still shown in 2600 theaters-almost "vulgar." "Fiction" twice.

Objectively speaking, this is a contest between heavyweight and lightweight. However, people did not find it strange or unusual at all, on the contrary, they were full of interest. From this aspect, we can see the strong momentum that "" has formed since its release four weeks ago, and even works of this level must be cautious.

Regardless of whether this is a media hype or an after-dinner talk by the audience, the confrontation is finally here, and "" will finally premiere!

The first round of the duel is the first to battle: media word of mouth.

After the release of "", it caused extreme praise from the media. "", which has always been very harsh on Hugo, praised this work and gave it a full score of one hundred. This is the same evaluation as "". This also gave people a preliminary view of the "USA Today" camp choice. In addition, "Empire" magazine also expressed its appreciation with one hundred points.

At the other extreme is the strong contempt of "" and "". Only a forty-point evaluation makes the work almost perfect. This makes people have to do their own brain supplements and fantasize about the hidden messages behind this film review.

Relatively speaking, the "New York Times", "Chicago", "Rolling Stone" and other magazines have given a score of 75 points, which is neither high nor low, to show their attitude.

In the end, the comprehensive evaluation of the 19 media was only 59 points, which is a huge difference compared to the 95 points of "".

The second round of duel immediately followed: actor evaluation.

The major media’s evaluations of the two actors Brad and Tom are quite interesting. The evaluations focused on Tom are mainly amazing. Almost all the media said that they did not expect Tom’s interpretation of the role to be so good, so beautiful, and worthy. It is said to be the biggest highlight of the movie; the evaluation focused on Brad is based on sex. Sensation is the mainstay. Most media believe that Brad has maximized the advantages of his appearance, showing the pale and graceful, evil but kind vampire perfectly.

The media believes that the two starring "flowers and moon looks" really add to the film a lot. But the discussion about acting skills is slightly inferior. Tom worked very hard, but after all, he lost a little spirituality; Brad was reduced to the title of facial paralysis. The general view is that he failed to interpret the inner struggle and delicate interpretation of the character. The heat is not one and a half.

Obviously, whether it is Tom or Brad, they are still a long way from the current Hugo in terms of acting talent and ability. This can be fully felt from the audience, from the film critics, from the predecessors of the actors, and from the awards.

The third round of the duel is obviously the audience's evaluation.

""'S theater score is as high as "a+", which is obviously an impossible statistic to surpass, but "" actually got a feedback of "a", which is undoubtedly a complete victory for a high-investment company. In this link, the two sides are considered to be a tie.

The fourth round of duel can start from popularity.

The two male protagonists of "" created a pale but charming vampire image, which became popular all over the United States overnight, and Brad was even more powerful and considered a new generation of sex. Feeling male god, enough to fight with Tom. At the same time, the vampire subculture chain reaction triggered by this movie has already begun to take shape. It is foreseeable that although this movie has not yet passed the score in the film critic population, the audience is very buying it, and it is bound to generate a special group of fans.

As for "", it has set off a retro wave, whether it is clothing, restaurants, music, and dance, it has caused a frenzy. More importantly, the filming techniques have had an immeasurable influence on the entire film industry.

Therefore, the former promotes the popularity of the actors, and the latter promotes the popularity of the works. On the whole, it is a tie.

The final round of the duel is naturally the top priority, the box office.

Before the box office was released on the weekend of the second week of November, although "" lags far behind in the media reviews, it still made a huge wave of waves by relying on the overall effect, and it still had a fight with "". Perhaps "Interview with Vampires at Night" could not become a benchmark in history like "Pulp Fiction", but it could still occupy a place in 1994. Of course, the subsequent history also proved this point.

Undoubtedly, the duel between Tom, Hugo and Brad was not groundless. Even if there was media hype, it was quickly accepted and immediately became the hottest topic after dinner. Choosing a favorite among these three top actors has become the focus of everyone's passion: even if they are both males, they can choose the one they admire the most.

Such a follow-up effect is obviously far beyond the media's imagination. This not only makes the media very proud, but also shows the effectiveness of their work; it also makes the media very surprised. This topic was originally only thought of by them for hype, but it was unexpected. It was very popular, which strengthened their idea of ​​continuing to dig.

The most interesting thing is that Brad's "amazing speech" at the premiere became the main firepower for the media to create a hot spot. Reporters all thought that Brad would be violently attacked, thanks to Hugo's current popularity in North America. Look, Brad is definitely guilty of public anger. The fact is also true. Whether it is Brad’s performance in "", or Brad’s current qualifications and achievements, including Brad’s past encounters with Hugo in head-to-head duels, they have all become people’s attacks. Focus.

But after seeing the news, Brad responded quickly the next day-Martin Baum played a very important role as an agent. He not only clarified his remarks, but also apologized in a very friendly manner. At the same time, he Complimented Hugo kindly.

Under Martin's operation, this remark spread quickly, killing the rumors in the cradle for the first time. The most important thing is that Hugo is not in the United States at this time-he is still on vacation, so the reporter has no way to further intensify the topic, only watching Martin make their efforts fall short.

Therefore, the first wave of attacks against Brad quickly calmed down. The reporters are not in a hurry, anyway, there will be more opportunities in the future. Subsequently, everyone focused their attention on the box office.

"" It was screened in two thousand six hundred theaters, and with a box office data of close to 14,000 US dollars for a single library, it generated an incredible $34 million at the premier weekend box office, which easily created the history of North American movies. New record for the November premiere at the box office.

Obviously, 1994 is a year in which records are constantly being refreshed, even in the autumn stalls known as chicken ribs.

Although it is said that the ""investment of 60 million US dollars" and the publicity are extremely large, but being able to obtain such an excellent box office for the premiere, it still makes people unexpectedly come and go. Compared with the data of $16.8 million obtained at the premiere of "", it is absolutely not inferior.

In terms of data alone, "" is naturally better, and the box office of a single library actually exceeds ""'s 12,000 US dollars data, which is really incredible; but an objective analysis of the subject matter, cost, and card division of the two , Publicity and other aspects, the results can be said that the two should be comparable.

This really stimulated the adrenaline of countless audiences. All audiences couldn't help but become more excited. The confrontation between these two films of different levels has really formed! Moreover, the dominant "" did not gain much advantage, and the recent momentum of "" also failed to defeat the opponent, which made the audience excited.

So, in the second week of November when "" smashed the box office of 34 million US dollars, what kind of results did "" create at the same time?

"" responded with an incredible drop of 15%: even if "" is strong again and again against the sky I can still deal with it easily!

A 15% drop in the box office finally achieved a weekend box office data of 8.3 million US dollars, which also made ""'s cumulative box office further rise to 79 million US dollars, and the 100 million box office has already beckoned not far away. . The "Pulp Fiction", which was released in the fifth week of the filming, directly confronted the fierce "" at the premiere, and it will never fall behind. This is the demeanor of the strong that people lament. This naturally makes the competition between the two works more intense and exciting. stand up.

The battle between "" and "" can definitely be called a wonderful one, which makes everyone watch with relish. This has also become the biggest highlight of the tasteless autumn stalls. This is a situation that all film companies did not expect.

When everyone was discussing the wonderful showdown between these two films, Disney seemed a little unhappy, because their "Santa Claus (the.santa.clause was reduced to spectators, no matter what tricks Disney did. To shift the focus, you can only sit on the sidelines and worry about it. This is really a tangled situation. supply.
