If the audience reputation of a film will greatly affect the post-screening market trend, the overwhelming pre-screening publicity is to attract the audience to enter the theater on the opening weekend or even the first day of the screening. .
There were no empty seats at the premiere, especially the seats for ordinary audiences. There was no empty seat at all.
Embassy Pictures’ high investment in publicity has made many viewers interested in "Pirates of the Caribbean".
Judging from the atmosphere and momentum created at the premiere, it seems that this is not a pirate movie that has fallen.
Ron Meyer of Universal Pictures also received an invitation to the premiere of Relativity Entertainment, because there was temporary official business to deal with. When Ron Meyer arrived, the movie was about to begin.
He came to the front row and greeted Ronan and other executives of Relativity Entertainment. After all, Ronan had attended the premiere of "The Hulk" some time ago.
Although the film failed, it did not prevent the two parties from having to participate in the premiere of each other.
Ron Meyer’s seat was next to Michael Eisner. The two were old acquaintances. After a brief greeting, they discussed the upcoming film.
Michael Eisner said deliberately, "Ron, I didn't expect to see you here."
Ron Meyer smiled and said, "Didn't you come too?"
"Robert Iger, the chief operating officer of Relativity Entertainment, is my old subordinate." Michael Eisner seems to be telling the truth. "He invited me to the premiere. I always want to show some face."
Ron Meyer certainly would not believe this. In the past two years, Michael Eisner has developed completely in the direction of self-centeredness, let alone an old subordinate like Robert Iger, even Michael Ovey. Friends like Ci for decades have turned against each other.
I'm afraid he came because of the name of the film.
"Are you interested in this film?" Michael Eisner asked at this time.
Ron Meyer nodded without hesitation, "Yes." He simply said, "I want to see if this movie can reverse the decline of pirate genre movies."
"On this film, is it possible?" Michael Eisner couldn't help but shook his head. "Two little stars plus a freak, and a director who has never directed a first-line production. God knows what the **** will be shot."
To a certain extent, Ron Meyer fully approves of Michael Eisner’s words "Actually, what you said is very reasonable. The subject matter of the film is a pirate type that has long since fallen. Director Gore Wibinski has never directed a line. Production, the three protagonists have limited appeal, and these are hard to give people confidence."
His voice suddenly changed, "But the project initiator and producer of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is Ronan Anderson! I think if anyone in Hollywood can change the situation of pirate movies, Ronan Anderson must be one of them."
Michael Eisner frowned slightly and said the fact that "Ronan Anderson has never been successful in first-line commercial production. He is far behind Jerry Bruckheimer, who worked with Disney."
"I don't deny this." Ron Meyer shrugged. "Everyone has the first time. Ron Anderson's first big production. We will see how it goes."
A very stubborn person like Michael Eisner cannot be convinced by words alone, so let's watch the movie.
Not far behind them, Arenas from the "Hollywood Reporter" and entertainment reporter McNice from the "Los Angeles Times" are also watching the film.
Such a public production cost as high as 140 million U.S. dollars, and the announcement of a top commercial production that may invest more than 100 million U.S. dollars will naturally attract the attention of the media and movie fans.
Behind them, ordinary movie fans are also talking about it.
The young Greymane has never experienced the golden age of pirate movies, nor has he seen the decline of pirate movies with his own eyes. As a generation after 85, he doesn't believe much about other people's comments, and pays more attention to seeing is believing.
So, after seeing the overwhelming publicity, Greymane became interested in this pirate film and decided to participate in the premiere.
Next to him, Varian, who was in his thirties, sat alone and muttered.
Since the 1980s, he has been in love with pirate movies, has witnessed the brilliance of "Treasure Island", watched the great director Spielberg do his best for "Captain Hook", and also witnessed "Cut Throat Island." "And the fiasco of "Future Water World".
The latter two directly caused pirate movies to sink into the bottom of Hollywood.
When seeing the "Pirates of the Caribbean" advertising, Varian paid attention to the film for the first time, and then decided to watch the premiere.
However, there is always a voice in his mind saying that this is just another failed pirate movie.
Although it is called a magical epic pirate movie in the promotion, Varian constantly thinks of "Future Water World". The ending of this sci-fi pirate movie is too miserable. Will "Pirates of the Caribbean" encounter the same result?
If this film fails, maybe pirate fans like him will never see a new pirate movie.
Varian felt a little nervous, but it was not without reason.
At the beginning of the film, there is nothing particularly surprising, it is simply the beginning of a standard Hollywood commercial film.
On the vast sea, a disaster that was plundered by pirates just happened. The heroine’s ship rescued a little boy. Then Elizabeth Swan and Will Turner met in childhood, and then they jumped to their adulthood. .
Varian couldn't help but shook his head slightly, somewhat disappointed, and couldn't help but wonder whether it was the vulgar and handsome men and women who fell in love at sea?
"It didn't start well," Michael Eisner whispered.
There is no way to refute this, because the start was really average, Ron Meyer nodded and said "just so."
Not only them, but even Robert Iger, who saw this film for the first time, frowned slightly. The company invested 140 million US dollars in the production budget. Could it be that it made a mediocre pirate movie?
This is not like Ronan's style either.
Robert Iger looked at Ronan not far away in a bit of surprise. Although the post-editing of the film was done by Jessica Felton and Gore Wibinski, the edited version could not get Ronan's. Recognition, it is impossible to enter the theater to show.
Even if the hero and the heroine on the screen are handsome and beautiful, it is hard to say how attractive.
Ronan sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, not anxious, and nodded slightly when he saw Christian Bale and Keira Knightley.
The latter is a qualified vase, which is also the role of Elizabeth Swann.
The former has muscles, height and physique, which makes people know that it is the kind of powerful role of Kong Wu, and Christian Bale has very good acting skills. The appearance and temperament setting of the character are almost perfectly integrated together, highlighting A rough and wild male masculine beauty.
A blacksmith who works with iron and sword all the year round must be a strong man.
Although Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann didn't call, appearance parties like Greymane also paid the bill.
The audience is always tolerant of the handsome guys and beauties in the film.
"A little disappointed." Arenas shook his head lightly. "It took 140 million dollars to make such a movie. If it doesn't change later..."
McNair understood what he meant and whispered, "It may be another Cut Throat Island."
Arenas is still shaking his head, "Ronan Anderson is inflated. If there is a successful top commercial production, he will firmly enter the ranks of top producers, but what he chooses is not good, he chooses pirate movies!"
In the first few minutes of "Pirates of the Caribbean", not only did the theater not quiet down, but there was a burst of very low but slightly noisy discussions.
It seems that everyone is questioning this pirate movie.
Even Jessica Felton and Gore Wibinski are playing drums in their hearts.
However, when that coquettish **** appeared on the screen, everything changed!
This is a brand new pirate, a pirate captain who can't find any common traits from past pirate movies.
This is an epic appearance!
This is an extremely domineering appearance!
This is also a very pretending appearance!
This is Jack Sparrow Maybe some people don't like him, but it's hard to really hate him.
When Captain Jack Sparrow stepped on catwalks, pinched orchid fingers, twisted his swaying posture, and stepped onto the pier from the mast of the sinking boat, many people took a breath.
How can a pirate be so charming?
After just watching it for just a few minutes, Greymane felt that he had become a fan of the pirate captain!
Varian was a little taken aback. This pirate was so special. I don't know why. He had a feeling that the moment the camera turned from the back of Jack Sparrow to the front, he had taken a fancy to this guy.
Ten thousand years at a glance!
This pirate is so special. There has never been such a pirate in Hollywood. Johnny Depp stole all the limelight as soon as he appeared.
Ron Meyer whispered, "I understand Ronan Anderson's intentions. The start of the film is arranged to pave the way for the pirate's appearance. The plainness in front just highlights the special nature of the pirate. Under the circumstances, the charm of pirates has greatly increased."
Looking at the sissy pirate, Michael Eisner, a straight steel man, couldn't help but once again said, "Will anyone like this character?"
Ron Meyer immediately judged if he was not good, but the originally noisy theater suddenly fell silent.
The captain's charm is so great, even Arenas and McNair have to admit it.
"Johnny Depp met the role he can best play his own characteristics since the film." Arenas completely overturned his previous remarks. "Ronan Anderson has chosen the most suitable actor for his pirate captain!"
