Hollywood Road

After receiving the fax document from the housekeeper, Murphy simply flipped through it, and handed it to Gal Gadot, who was full of expectations. Gal Gadot had already stood up from his chair, and opened the document to read take a look. Teana Novel "" ⒉

The housekeeper winked and left immediately.

Gal Gadot just saw the row of numbers, and the smile on his face could no longer be suppressed.

"Great!" She raised her head and looked at Murphy with a smile on her face. "We broke the record!"

Murphy nodded and laughed too. How could such a record-breaking box office performance make people not excited?

Gal Gadot seemed to be encouraged, and said loudly, "There are 3,855 early screenings in North America, and "Dark City" got 4.58 million US dollars!"

"Congratulations, Mr. Stanton."

Of course the servants in the living room knew that their master's new movie was released, so they all congratulated.

"Congratulations, Miss Gadot."

"Thank you." Murphy had always treated them very well.

Gal Gadot was in a great mood at the moment, and said, "Everyone's bonuses are doubled this month."

Gal Gadot has always been in charge of the affairs of the manor, and Murphy will not interfere. Moreover, he is also in a good mood to create a new North American early-stage box office record.

According to Kara Firth, from the documents just faxed by 20th Century Fox, "Dark City" earned 4.58 million US dollars from the early market yesterday, breaking the original 4.35 million US dollars created by "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" US dollar's North American box office record in advance can be described as a hit!

Of course, apart from the early box office records, most of the other North American box office records are in the hands of "The Avengers", which created a series of brilliant results last year.

Murphy has done a detailed understanding before. The box office records created by "The Avengers" in North America mainly include: the first film in film history with a weekly box office exceeding 200 million US dollars (207 million US dollars); the highest second-week box office (1. o300 million); the highest Saturday box office ($6.95 million); the highest Sunday box office ($57 million); the fastest to break $200 million (3 days); the fastest to break $300 million (9 days); the fastest to break 400 million US dollars (14 days); fastest breaking 500 million US dollars (23 days)...

It's no exaggeration to say that Marvel's last year's The Avengers was a true record-breaking machine.

But Murphy and 20th Century Fox are aiming at the series of commercial box office records created by "The Avengers" in this summer.

"At least in terms of pre-sales, we are far ahead of the "Avengers" of the same period!" Gal Gadot is confident, "We are not bad in terms of word of mouth. The audience score of "Dark City" is a+, authoritative media comprehensive evaluation metacritic currently includes 45 media with an average score of 89 points, which is far higher than "Avengers"..."

"It's too early to say these things now." Murphy looked very calm, and he looked at his watch, "It's almost time, we should change clothes, and it's time to leave."

They were going to participate in a program on Fox TV. It was originally scheduled to be recorded tomorrow, but due to unexpected circumstances, they had to temporarily adjust it to today. Murphy brought the crew and hurried back from New York last night.

At the same time, more and more audiences entered the theaters to see "Dark City", and the word-of-mouth of the film completely exploded, especially on the Internet. Some people who have watched the film turned into tap water directly, willingly recommending this masterpiece of conscience to others.

"There are no more words to praise "Dark City"!"

"It's very Murphy-like. It begins with a gentle narrative and draws the audience into the world he designed step by step. In the end, the plot explodes, giving people an exponentially exploding brain-burning experience. It is definitely not to be missed!"

"This is the real explosive work. Murphy thoroughly described the darkness of human nature. The soundtrack of the film matches the intense rhythm of the film very well.

Every step is exciting, and the final ending is further sublimated, making it a unique action movie! "

""Dark City" is the kind of movie that you can't stop once you watch the opening scene!"

"As an action movie, it has magic and Jay Rachel's superb performances, cool and realistic action scenes, but this movie also has a deep humanity, moral exploration, moral hypocrisy and pragmatism. Necessity, endless aftertaste after reading it!"

"Murphy's film, with its tight plot and seamless pattern, instantly surpassed other commercial films by a few levels.

The magician is the real protagonist! "

Less than a day after its release, the various praises of "Dark City" swept every corner of the Internet like a virus with a crazy momentum.

Not to mention ordinary movie fans, even high-cold film critics who usually disagree with movie fans raised their hands in surrender in front of this movie.

In this regard, "The New Yorker" is a representative, and the columnist film critic Richard Brody of "The New Yorker" is a representative of "The New Yorker".

On the latest online version of "The New Yorker" on Friday, Richard Brody made a long comment on "Dark City", but unlike in the past, this comment is not a biting satire and criticism , but raised his hands high and sang praises for the film.

"City of Darkness, which combines entertainment and art, is bound to go down in film history!"

Just such a title is enough to show the attitude of this acrimonious film critic, and it can also attract quite a few readers.

"If you want to ask what kind of movie is a masterpiece, Murphy Stanton's "Dark City" is my choice without any praise! May 3, 2o13, a dark Thursday In the evening, it was the first time in my life that I was so thoroughly shocked - it was not only audio-visual, but also spiritual! If I hadn't been bored watching the list of the latest movies, I don't know how many years it would take to let go of the big production The prejudice of commercial movies, Murphy Stanton’s new work, let me realize that popcorn movies with a single taste can also be so intoxicating!”

"I totally agree with a colleague that Murphy Stanton has really taken summer commercials to a whole new level!"

"This realistic black crime movie is obviously not comparable to the bombardment popcorn movie. Its deep, depressing and dark is more like a deep police movie.

What is commendable is that the rhythm of the film is relaxed, the script is well-arranged, and it is not sloppy-this point is mainly reflected in the scene switching, but it is not so huge that the plot information is so huge that it is difficult to understand. To fully understand the deep meaning of Murphy-Stanton, this article can only briefly discuss and analyze it. "

"The film first reflects human nature. If the murderous magician represents the darkness of human nature, then the 'Dark Walker' who punishes evil and eliminates evil represents the light. New York, a filthy metropolis, rampant with gangs and rampant with drugs , falling apart. The magician is best at provoking the dark side of human nature. At the beginning, he used the darkness of human nature to make the robbers kill each other, and encouraged people to shoot one person without blowing up the hospital. His trump card is to use the evil of human nature and make the The Knight of Light' Jay-Rachel has fallen. But the hope of this city is still alive. Neither the vicious criminals nor the innocent citizens choose to sink each other's ships in order to protect themselves, showing the brilliance of humanity to the numb world. It’s very moving.”

"The second is the legal system. This is the most significant embodiment of the realistic style of the film. Murphy Stanton discusses the legality of Chris Dann's Nightcrawler at the beginning, and Jay Rachel, who represents legal justice. Discussing democracy with Chris Dan and his group at the dinner table, when it came to hunting down and interrogating Liu and other criminals, he kept the law in three words, and at the end, he sublimated the theme and went deep into the ultimate discussion on the legal system."

"It is precisely because of the law that once Cher's depravity is exposed, all the criminals who have been arrested will be acquitted and released. Only the 'Night Walker' who is outside the law can shoulder this burden and endure depression, pain, and tragedy alone. In exchange for the victory of justice, although such a dark ending is destined to go against the spirit of the rule of law, what is left for New York is a bright light."

"The last point is madness. Hugo's 'principle of contrasting beauty and ugliness' casts classics, and an outstanding villain can become a masterpiece. The biggest principle of a magician is that he has no principles, and he talks about his crazy philosophy to people endlessly, and he has all kinds of He hoped that Chris Dann would kill himself, and then put his plan on the stakes. He was so crazy that he only hoped that the world would collapse. James Franco, a geek among the Stanton party The humorous characters in the film draw inspiration from various performances, and even practice a unique laugh, which will definitely become a classic in film history!"

"Hollywood's top director Murphy Stanton has once again proved his extraordinary dramatic skills and narrative level with this film. This film does not use any extraordinary narrative techniques, but it can also make the story exciting. His queen photographer Fei Li-Rachelt's unique mix of Imax7omm film and ordinary 35mm film perfectly shows the dark tone and depressing atmosphere. Soundtrack master Hans Zimmer, in "Pearl Harbor" "Pirates of the Caribbean" "Gladiator" "Afterwards, a well-received movement was presented, which exquisitely composes the tragedy of the heroic epic, together with the story of Murphy Stanton, it shocked me conqueringly!"

"Finally, at the end of the movie, Chris Dan's words combined with the montage gave people a strong philosophical thinking, and then he borrowed Sheriff Lynch's mouth to make a point. The night walker has no fault in the mouth of an innocent child, and as a hero Endure criticism and pain. The whole film ends with the frame of riding against the light, and then the title of the film is accompanied by Hans Zimmer's majestic soundtrack, which really has a shocking power!"

Although Richard Brody is not as famous as the deceased Roger Albert, he still has a certain influence among older movie fans. His film reviews can also drive a group of people to become "Dark City" audience.

Throughout Friday, all theaters showing "City of Darkness" were bustling with excitement. This grand event quickly spread with the reports of Fox's multimedia platform. Those who are interested can clearly see that "City of Darkness" is bound to There are extraordinary daily box office.
