Chapter 253： Show off

Compared to Paris Hilton, Uvi Bauer looked very quiet. Ronan saw that the publicity effect was very good, and he did not intend to use Uvi Bauer as a killer.

"The House of Death" will never become a popular movie. The publicity of Paris-Hilton is in no way comparable to the national influence of "Blair the Witch". It can only be a slightly larger one. Spread within range.

The most important thing is that the word-of-mouth of this film is really terrible, and there are so many bad reviews.

The Globe and Mail said: Uvi-Bauer’s film is so dull as to give us a head.

"New York Daily News" review: "The House of Death" proves that German director Uvi Bauer's skill is to make terrible movies.

film critics are also merciless, all kinds of bad reviews almost fly into the sky.

"Watching the movie "House of Death" is a horrible shock exercise."

"You will never see a movie worse than "House of Death" in the theater this year."

"Why bad movies like "House of Death" appear in theaters, it is worth reflecting on."

Only two days after its release, Rotten Tomatoes collected 59 films about "House of Death", with a freshness of...3%.

Freshness is not zero at last.

In addition, film critics rated an average of 1.9 points.

All of these have broken the various records of large-scale movie releases on Rotten Tomatoes.

On IMDB, more than 2,000 users have scored, and "House of Death" has an average score of 2.6 points.

Authoritative media comprehensive evaluation MetaCritic includes 35 media ratings, with an average score of 12 points.

From the audience to the film critics to the media, "The House of Death" all rotted out of the sky.

But this does not prevent the commercial success of "House of Death".

On the first day of its release on Friday, the film earned US$6.78 million in North America; on Saturday, although the reputation of Skyrim had been spread everywhere, it was stimulated by Paris-Hilton and Eric, the box office on a single day Instead of falling, it rose, and received another 7.29 million US dollars, shocking countless eyeballs.

What’s even more surprising is that too many people watch the film while scolding it as bad, and some people want to see how bad Paris Hilton’s debut is after the negative word of mouth spread widely.

"I watched it very happily. After watching it during the day on Friday, I bought a ticket to watch it again on Saturday night. I haven't watched such an interesting movie in a long time."

Even, there are many people who like this bad movie.

"I heard that this film sucks, I went to watch it, let alone, no one really sucks!"

There are also many fans of this kind.

""The House of Death" is a lighthearted alternative comedy."

There are fans who can discover the highlights of "House of Death".

"Actually, Paris has nothing to do with bad film. She really worked hard. It's not Paris's fault that the director is bad."

These young people who were attracted by the Paris-Hilton set and the Bai Fumei identity became Paris-Hilton supporters. They just don’t know what they will do after the Paris-Hilton set collapses. Impressions.

In the first week of the painting, "House of the Dead" met Ronan's expected box office explosion, overwhelming the "Crocodile Dundee 3", which opened at the same time, and the "BJ Single Diary", which was screened in the second week. , Airborne the North American box office leader.

The box office of the latter two is around 10 million U.S. dollars, which is quite far from the "House of Death".

A super lousy movie with no star, no plot, no director level, once again sold in the North American film market, causing shocks in the media and Hollywood circles.

Some well-known film critics were very angry, and published a column article saying: Now the audience is really depraved! No level of appreciation at all!

In an interview last year, David Lynch, director of "Mulholland Road", which hit the box office last year, said: The big sales of "House of Death" can only show that this audience is not good.

Bad movies are selling big, but good ones are no one cares about. Many insiders and outside critics feel that Hollywood and movie audiences are getting degenerate.

Uvi-Bauer also stood up at this time, probably because of the success of the film. Instead of confronting the critics, he reiterated in an interview that the next step was to adapt Kojima Studio’s "Metal Gear" and Blizzard. The company's "Warcraft".

Because Uvi Bauer mentioned plans to adapt these games at the premiere, the relevant persons in charge of these two companies also went to the theater to watch "House of Death", and were directly frightened by Uvi Bauer's adaptation. .

The two companies subsequently responded publicly.

Hideo Kojima said in his blog: "Absolutely not! I don't know why Uvi-Bauer talked about this kind of thing. We will never talk to him, and we will never let him make this game into a movie. "

Blizzard’s chief operating officer Paul Sams eagerly jumped out to refute: “We will not sell the movie rights of Warcraft, especially to Uvi Bauer! A bad movie will ruin this An excellent game and its company!"

The game movie Terminator has shown its edge.

"Your office is a bit crude."

Shahai Entertainment, Tom Cruise, who came to visit, looked at Ronan’s office and said, “It should be renovated.”

Ronan handed him a cup of coffee and said, "For now, I will change places directly."

Tom Cruise took the coffee, put it aside, and said, "Yes."

Ronan has never considered redecorating at all. The scale of Shahai Entertainment is steadily expanding in a planned way. The office space here is somewhat insufficient. At most one or two years, you need to consider changing the office location.

Or, rent all the first floor of this building.

Ronan also considered that a relativity building might be needed in the future, just like DreamWorks and the Big Six companies.

Tom Cruise slowly walked to the front of the "House of Death" poster hanging on the wall, looked at the slightly rough zombie face, and said, "I went to watch this film last night. Ronan, I really don’t It’s good to know what to say. You can make a movie like this."

The North American box office of more than 18 million US dollars in the first weekend is indeed not much, but compared to the production cost, what is this not a hit?

"It's actually very risky." Ronan said, "Once the response is bad, all the investment will be lost."

Tom Cruise shook his head: "You guy..." He said directly: "The biggest investment is to get Paris Hilton to cooperate with you in publicity? The actual publicity investment is not 3 million US dollars, right?"

Ronan smiled: "It's not true."

The real cost of this film is the distribution, and the cost of copying is nearly $5 million.

Tom Cruise sighed: "You are too good at running movies. You really should let your Embassy Pictures release "Minority Report", and the chances of success will be higher."

Ronan said, "Spielberg will not agree."

"It's true." Tom Cruise was a little helpless: "Spielberg, who was determined to forge ahead, has gradually become old and stubborn."

Ronan didn’t want to be entangled with this issue. Spielberg refused to cooperate with Embassy Pictures. With his current ability and strength, he could not reluctantly, and asked: “When will this film start?”

Tom Cruise replied: "The filming will start in June and it will be released next year."

"It's so slow." Ronan felt that it was too inked.

Tom Cruise was also a little dissatisfied: "I had known that it was so long, I would not sign with DreamWorks." He further said: "Spielberg planned a Running.Man trilogy, "Artificial Intelligence." It's the first one, and this "Minority Report" is the second one. He is asking someone to adapt a scammer's script. It is said that it may be the third one."

Ronan roughly guessed that this third part should be "Cat and Mouse Game".

"By the way, many people now call you the master of the movie." Tom Cruise said suddenly.

"Me?" Ronan was quite surprised and said, "I am not a director, and I can't make a movie."

Tom Cruise explained: “They said that there are many people in Hollywood who can make good movies, but those who can turn bad movies into explosives are the real masters.”

Ronan couldn't help but smiled and shook his head: "I can't afford the title of Master."

Frankly speaking, he is actually a film businessman compared to a pure film practitioner.

Tom Cruise chatted with Ronan for half the morning, and soon left. After Ronan had lunch, Uvi Bauer, who had just recorded a show on ABC TV, also came over.

"Ronan, are we going to start a new movie project?" Uvi-Bauer was straightforward.

"Yes." Ronan did not shirk. The success of "House of Death" gave Uvi-Bauer a unique super-bad style. There is still the possibility of success after another investment Therefore , He said: "Uvi, or a movie adapted from a game?"

Uvi-Bauer deserves to be the game movie terminator, and he said: "Well, I think I am the most suitable game adaptation movie."

Ronan thought for a while and said, "So, Uvi. You go to find a new game suitable for film adaptation, find a suitable project, and we will discuss together, how."

"Okay." Uvi-Bauer looked in a good mood.

Thinking of the promotion methods that may be used in the future cooperation, Ronan told Uvi-Bauer: "Film critics have said a lot of unsatisfactory things recently, don't take it to heart, they are just like this, just don't see it."

Unexpectedly, Uvi-Bauer had a very good mentality and said, "I won't put them in my eyes. Our film was a big success. What does it mean? The critics are all bullshit, and they know a lot about movies. , They should go home and **** their mother!"

Ronan can only say that Uvi-Bauer was born of affection and recklessness!

This time, the movie was successful, and Uvi-Bauer didn't care about the cynicism of the critics. Who knows what will happen next time?

What do you say? Just a word of recklessness, don't persuade, just do it.

Ronan still has great expectations for Uvi Bauer.

This reckless director, as long as it is properly packaged, can also realize the value of life.
