The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 373 "Taken" Rotten Tomatoes Index 85
Most of the mainland's premiere selections are based on learning from Hollywood's experience.

Hollywood experts found that on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, ordinary people are in a relaxed state, have more consumption psychology, and are more likely to go to the cinema.

So many movies will choose to premiere on Friday.

For some special movies, there will be different choices.

For example, cartoons with a children’s audience are usually released on Saturdays, when the box office is higher and the hype is better.

There are also some movies that will be released on other working days. Such movies are generally more confident in themselves and believe in their reputation.

For example, "The Good Man in Three Gorges", which won the Venice Golden Lion Award, chose to premiere on December 14th, which is Thursday.

There is also "Golden Flowers in the City", the old schemer Zhang Weiping is also very confident and chose Thursday.

In addition, there is Li Shaohong, whose "Gate" premiered on December [-]th, and chose Tuesday, which is also the Xiayuan Festival, but this festival is no longer popular in modern times.

In the beautiful country, a lot of movies choose to release on December [-]th, like "Revelation", "Love Holiday", "Happy Feet", not because these movies have confidence in themselves.

What's more, December [-]th is Washington's birthday. Some places in the beautiful country will have a holiday. They want to take advantage of this holiday to reap the box office.

"Taken" also chose to premiere at [-] pm on December [-]th.

The premiere time in the mainland is also at [-]pm on December [-]th, and the mainland will be faster than the beautiful country, France, and Great Britain.

……

At 2006:12 pm on December 6, 6, "Taken" was officially released on Hong Kong Island in the Mainland.

Hong Kong Island, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand are also handed over to Shaw Brothers for distribution.

The premiere of "Taken" in the mainland has reached 50.00%.

The reason for this is naturally because "Mo Gong", "Yun Shui Yao" and "Gate" are not good. "Mo Gong" has a mediocre reputation, and its box office in the first week is only 3000 million. .

As for "The Door", which was released yesterday, it can be said that it fluttered quietly, and the box office on the first day was only more than 100 million.

At this time, not only movie fans, but theaters are also looking forward to blockbuster movies coming to the market.

So "Taken" got such a high ranking.

In Yanjing Fenghua Cinema, Li Shengyao was sitting in his office drinking tea. He turned on the computer stereo and played a piece of soothing pure music.

"Boom boom boom!"

Someone knocked on the door, and then the assistant opened the door. He looked excited, "Boss, the new Matai and Hong Kong Island have been released. There is no problem, and everything is going well."

Li Shengyao nodded, took a sip of tea, "Okay, I understand."

The assistant then left in a hurry.

For movies released around the world, the biggest fear is that there will be mistakes during the premiere. There are many things at this time, and it is easy to make mistakes. If you survive this time, you will generally be much better.

There is no problem with New Malaysia, Thailand and Hong Kong Island. For Lee Sing Yew, that is a good thing.

Two hours later, Li Shengyao was still sitting in the office. Instead of listening to pure music, he played an old Shaw Brothers movie "Shaolin 72 Stunts".

"Boom boom boom!"

There was another knock on the door, and the assistant appeared with a happy face, "Boss, the first wave of word-of-mouth has come out, and there are a lot of good reviews. Everyone says this is a completely different action movie."

"Taken" has been screened long ago, and there were some comments before its premiere.

But after all, there is no large-scale release, and the number of reviews is relatively small.

And like the premiere, it is mainly because people in the industry brag about each other commercially, which can have a hype effect, but the common people already know the routine of the producer, and the evaluation of people in the industry is not as important as before.

After the large-scale release, everyone pays more attention to the opinions of passers-by.

Li Shengyao smiled, "Understood."

The assistant was a little surprised, he felt that Li Shengyao was too calm, but it was not his turn to say anything, and then he left excitedly.

Two hours later, Dong Xuan appeared in Li Shengyao's office.

Recently, she has time and happened to be in Yanjing, so she naturally accompanied Li Shengyao. Just now she went to watch "Taken" with a few little sisters.

She felt that "Taken" was shot very well, and she looked at Director Li with red hearts in her eyes.

"Go home, the sound insulation is not good here."

……

At 05:30 the next morning, the sky was still dark, and it was pitch black outside. The meat buns in the street bun shop were not yet cooked, and there was no smell of meat.

Li Shengyao suddenly opened his eyes.

Dong Xuan was lying on one side, her white lotus-like arms were very beautiful.

Li Shengyao grabbed a handful subconsciously, like white tofu.

He was about to continue his action, but when he thought of the premiere of "Taken" yesterday, he immediately turned off the engine, put on his clothes, and then went to the computer. movie review.

Just like what the assistant said, "Taken" showed a completely different action style, and [-]% of the comments were positive, approving the setting of "Taken".

Li Shengyao just looked at it like this. Two hours later, the steamed stuffed bun shop on the street was filled with the smell of meat, and he got up to buy breakfast.

He ate a few meat buns in a hurry, then climbed over the wall and slipped to the three major scoring websites in the beautiful country, namely Rotten Tomatoes, MTC, and IMDB.

Among them, MTC is the evaluation given by professionals.

IMDB is the evaluation given by ordinary film and television lovers.

Rotten Tomatoes is a combination of ratings from two groups of people.

Rotten Tomatoes uses freshness to represent good or bad. The fresher the movie, the better it is. For example, many Hollywood blockbusters have a Rotten Tomatoes index of 90.00%, 90.00% five.

This kind of movie belongs to the very good movies in the eyes of professional film critics.

In addition to the freshness index of Rotten Tomatoes, there is also a popcorn index, which is the evaluation given by ordinary audiences. The higher the index, the more the audience approves.

MTC is [-] points, the higher the score, the higher the evaluation.

And IMDB has a [-]-point system, which is similar to Douban.

Buying movie reviews and falsifying ratings also exist in Hollywood.

The common people in the beautiful country generally still trust the reviews of Rotten Tomatoes, and they will consider the freshness and popcorn index to decide whether to watch a movie.

Li Shengyao was the first to enter the Rotten Tomatoes website, and he quickly found "Taken", which has more than [-] professional reviews, and more than [-] reviews from ordinary movie fans.

Rotten Tomatoes scored 85 for freshness and 92 for popcorn.

For a new film, such evaluation is very high.

After all, he didn't pay for ratings.

Rotten Tomatoes professional review first - this is a completely different movie, a different Cheng Long, a different action style, a different father, I like him very much.
