Made in Hollywood

In North America, with the screenings of "Fury Road" one after another, the super high reputation almost swept the film market like a gust of wind.

In CNN's on-site interview, fans who watched the film were full of praise, and they all responded to the film with "good movie, blood spurting!" "Fury Road, the movie lives up to its name!" Power!" and other comments.

Of course, as an R-rated film, it's unlikely to reach the broad audience that Duke's past PG-13 films have, and there are those who won't like it.

"It feels weird from beginning to end..."

"I found a movie type that I didn't want to watch at all..."

"The picture is more exciting, maybe it's because I don't like this type, I can't get into the drama at all..."

There are no such comments.

However, more than 95% of the people who walked into the theater to watch this film, whether they were ordinary audiences or professionals, were full of praise.

On the website Rotten Tomatoes, which collects reviews from film critics, it took almost a day for it to be released in North America, and the freshness of "Fury Road" is surprisingly 100%.

You know, this is Duke's movie. After his movies were released in the past, the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes always dropped below 70% at lightning speed.

It has to be said that as the older generation of film critics such as Roger Ebert gradually faded out of public view—perhaps it is more appropriate to use the term “automatically ignored” by the public—the new generation of film critics understand that this industry does not have that much influence and has never Having experienced the so-called era of film critics calling the wind and rain, the conflict of interest between them and Duke is far less acute than that of the older generation of professional film critics.

However, few commercial film directors and film companies care about Rotten Tomatoes. It has nothing to do with the summer box office.

today's web. It has become an indispensable and even extremely important part of this society, and Internet public opinion has a deeper and deeper influence on the market of a film.

Whether it is the comments on IMDB or the sharing on instant sharing websites, public opinion in North America shows a completely one-sided trend.

"Director Duke Rosenberg, Director of Photography John Schwartzman, Action Director Jimmy Carter, and Art Director Hannah Serena, your whole family is rocking!"

"It was so high that I was stunned several times in the first 30 minutes. But the movie basically has no intention of stopping. If it must be divided into five or six sections, there are only about 30 literary dramas between each two sections. Seconds, and then started High... Tom Cruise didn't have any lines for the first two-thirds and was already cry by handsome, Goddess Theron, who firmly believes that women are not objects, is completely overwhelming!"

"It's so cool, so handsome! Duke has raised the scene design of Hollywood action blockbusters to a new level. The car chase scene has a lot of tricks. Climax after climax, there is no urine point in the whole process, and the special effects of the sandstorm scene are the best. The emotional drama is over. Tom Cruise and Charlize Theron are so handsome that people can't restrain themselves. Please watch IMAX! Burn to burst, crazy to death!"

"My heart is like this the whole time I watch it - the movie can still be played like this. It's crazy like this!"

Compared with the popular "Fury Road", the response of "The Adventures of Tintin", which was released at the same time, was quite average.

"Although it is a Spielberg movie, I really want to say that it is a bad movie, except for the technology.

"Just watched it, the plot is clichéd, and there are some vulgar jokes that have nothing to do with the narrative. Tintin's character image has failed in a mess. He always has a smart expression, and Bai Xue, who should be the most cute, is not cute at all. !"

"There are too many chances in the story, and the stories are strung together in a muddle. After reading it, I personally feel very ordinary."

The public opinion on the Internet is directly reflected in the film. Because of the R-rated film, the attendance rate of "Fury Road" is far from astonishing as "The Dark Knight" and "Transformers", but it is also the best-selling film this weekend. , and "The Adventures of Tintin" not only lags far behind "Fury Road" in attendance and number of theaters, it is even far worse than the lowest expectations of the outside world.

With an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, and a publicity budget of the same scale, the director is still Spielberg's commercial masterpiece. No matter how you look at it, its box office on the first day will exceed 10 million U.S. dollars...

However, "The Adventures of Tintin" has refreshed people's knowledge.

In one day on Friday, the first day of its release, the average box office of "The Adventures of Tintin" was only US$1,145, and more than 3,500 theaters combined, only earned US$4.05 million.

This achievement not only caused an uproar in the outside world, but also caused the major theater chains to start making plans to lower the film's schedule.

How David Ellison will react, Duke is not interested in knowing, his focus is still focused on his own film.

"One day on Friday, including the midnight session..."

On the plane flying to Phoenix, Tina Fey told Duke about the data just reported by Warner Bros., "Fury Road earned $24.35 million in 4,050 theaters. According to the current situation, "The Adventures of Tintin" The first-week North American box office figures of "Record" are far less than our single-day results."

Duke nodded. This has exceeded his expectations. The excellent announcement of Warner Bros. is also a guarantee for such box office results.

As one of the world's top film awards, the Cannes Palme d'Or always has something to offer.

However, he changed the subject, "Those who protested didn't make much impact, did they?"

"According to the feedback from Warner Bros., the impact they have brought is not particularly large."

Seeing Scarlett Johansson next to him pouring a cup of black tea for herself, Tina Fey nodded to her first, and then said to Duke, "And in the places where they are the most violent, various feminist organizations Some targeted actions have also been carried out, judging from the current situation, the impact on the film is not too great."

She thought for a while, and then said, "Someone should be provoking them behind their backs."

"Hmm..." Duke thought about it and said, "Don't worry about it for now, our focus is to continue to build momentum for the film's reputation."

Scarlett Johansson filled Duke's cup with black tea. After sitting down, she just glanced at the script in front of her. Hearing this, she couldn't help but raise her head, "Is this the way to forget it?"

Duke ignored her question, but gestured to the script with his eyes, "How about it, are you interested?"

Over the years, he has registered and filed several scripts with the Screenwriters Guild, and this realistic sci-fi script is one of them. It is also a project in which the female characters that Duke once mentioned to Scarlett alone support the entire film.

Originally, he planned to wait for Scarlett to become more mature a few years later before taking out this project.

But after returning from Cannes, Duke let Nancy Josephson know about it. As it happened before, Natalie Portman, as the target of William Morris and even the Jewish forces in Hollywood, has already Ready to charge to the pinnacle of your life.

William Morris packed a movie called "Black Swan", which was directed at the Oscars two years later.

Duke has never been a generous and bad person. If it was a year ago, he would have sat by and watched everything that happened in the past, but now, he will definitely not have such an idea again.

The first post-80s Oscar for Best Actress? It does not necessarily have to fall on Natalie Portman, and she is not the only outstanding Jewish actress in Hollywood.

Scarlett Johansson closed the script, "It's very interesting, I'll take it! It's just that the space scene is a bit troublesome to shoot."

Taking a sip of black tea, Duke warned, "I will find someone to do special training for you. The planning of this film will not start until next year. You have enough time, and I have confidence in you."

"Well, I'm also confident." Scarlett rolled her eyes and said again, "If I don't do well by then..."

"It's okay..." Duke interrupted her, raised his eyebrows and said, "I will tie you to the rocket at the Kennedy Launch Center and let you go to the sky to experience what it feels like!"

Scarlett shrank her neck, turned to look at Tina Fey who was sitting next to her, "Will you help me then?"

Tina Fey shrugged, but said nothing.

Duke was busy promoting "Fury Road" and Spielberg was running the "Tintin Adventure" announcement. The two films collided head-on. He and the media are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and want to provoke the relationship between the two, so as to turn into a vigorous battle.

The Jewish forces in Hollywood and the media industry are indeed very strong, but there are also anti-Semitic groups. If two famous Jewish directors can confront each other, it must be the result they would like to see.

After participating in the promotional activities at the Santa Monica Plaza, Spielberg was stopped by a reporter as soon as he walked out of the venue.

"Steven..." The reporter stretched out the microphone, ""The Adventures of Tintin" is selected to be released this weekend, is it aimed at "Fury Road"? It is said that Duke Rosenberg participated in the competition for DreamWorks Suppression, are you dissatisfied with him? What do you think of Duke Rosenberg?"

Spielberg took a deep look at the other party. The relationship between him and Duke was indeed ordinary, but there was no serious personal conflict between the two, let alone a business competition that broke the bottom line.

"In my opinion, Duke Rosenberg is the best director in Hollywood. He represents the present and future of Hollywood..."

At their level, even if there is competition, they will not easily start a war, which often means unpredictable results.

And Spielberg is too old to be as impulsive as a young man.

It was not only Spielberg who was asked this question, but also Duke.

The plane arrived in Houston, and Duke had just stepped out of the airport, surrounded by a group of reporters waiting here. (to be continued ~^~)
