It's quite eye-catching to see Gilbert Jr. and Matt Damon collaborate again after 20 years.

Back then, one of them was a fledgling director, and the other was a Hollywood newcomer who had just entered the industry.

Now they have each achieved success in their careers and become influential figures in Hollywood.

At a press conference after the premiere, Matt Damon spoke of his friendship with Gilbert Jr.

“As many people love him as there are people who hate him.

But I know he will always be the best, and I realized that 20 years ago."

Talking about the collaboration, Matt Damon expressed his pleasure.

"Tom called me up and he was doing Edge of Tomorrow at the time. He told me that the project was originally his but Gilbert asked him to do Edge of Tomorrow.

I want to say to Tom, hey, Tom, you are the third party."

After hearing this, the reporters in the audience laughed in unison.

A reporter asked, "Matt, what is Leo then?"

"Oh, God!"

Matt Damon stroked his forehead and said, "Leo already has an Inception movie, so don't try to snatch it from me."

As a result, Naomi Watts on the side said quietly: "Hey, Matt, you guys are discussing this in front of me.

What if I don't exist? "

Everyone laughed cooperatively, but it's still unknown who will be the winner of this "jealousy fight".
But Naomi Watts hasn't worked with Gilbert Jr. for more than a decade since "Chicago". This is also her second time to play Gilbert Jr. in a movie, which is also a highlight.

In fact, the hype about the collaboration between these people has been hyped up a lot on the Internet and in the media.

However, all kinds of promotional methods can only serve as an auxiliary. Gilbert Jr. repeatedly emphasized to Disney’s senior management that the film must be of high quality.

It's not the quality that can win an Oscar, but the quality that can stand the test of the market.

"A movie is good only if the audience likes it. Those beautiful surveys and data reports are not what we need at Disney. I want real audience feedback."

Given Gilbert Jr.'s influence at Disney, Disney made large-scale reforms to its theater chain.

Those theater investigators are hired not only in North American theaters, but also in other major film markets around the world, especially the Chinese market.

Gilbert Jr. also suggested that Disney work with Banana Company and Watermelon Company to establish a large data center.

This big data analyzes and processes data sent by theater investigators from all over the world every year, and filters out the types that audiences like, hate, and so on.

Speaking of big data, based on past experience, it is usually fake. But this is just the fault of the user, and the big data itself is innocent.

In fact, as modern society develops, big data supports it at every moment.

Every takeaway you order, every message you send, and every web page you browse will form big data. Then, based on the big data algorithm, the same content will be pushed back.

"The Martian" is the first movie to use big data models. As long as you are interested in "The Martian" or click on related information.

Then the big data will continuously match the relevant content and then push it to the relevant users to achieve precise advertising.

Although this model is still immature, it is indeed very effective in promoting movies. At least many viewers who originally did not want to go to the cinema will inevitably become interested after a few push notifications.

In addition to these unconventional promotional methods, the film still maintains a normal promotional rhythm.

Just before the midnight show, various media outlets released their reports and comments. In China, Disney China also arranged relevant promotional strategies. However, Hollywood companies' promotion in China requires the cooperation of local distributors, namely China Film.

There are many restrictions and rules, not as convenient as in North America. But the title of a Hollywood blockbuster is still very useful these days, and the director is Gilbert Jr.

Nowadays, some movie bloggers like Peter and Sexy Rebecca have begun to emerge on the Chinese Internet. They either review classics or make film recommendations.

For example, a blogger named Movie Top initially made movie videos on Youku and later moved to Bilibili.

This blogger initially started out by analyzing Gilbert Jr.'s films and quickly built up a loyal following.

For "The Martian", he made a detailed mine clearance report to help fans of his channel judge whether the film is worth watching.

“The Martian is based on science, and the optimistic spirit and comedy elements in the film make it more like a daily life sketch.

It’s just that the director changed the style of science fiction and told a light-hearted and interesting story.

Although the style has changed drastically, it is still handled with ease. This unique comedy element has become the reason for its popularity.

Because this will make the film more real and down-to-earth.

It is no longer a mysterious unknown world, nor does it involve profound theories and speculations. Instead, it is a very popular way of popularizing knowledge for everyone, from the shallow to the deep.

In the field of science fiction films, the ability of director Gilbert Jr. is trustworthy. Although it is not a big IP, the lineup of Gilbert Jr., Mart Damon, and Naomi Watts is eye-catching enough.

What's more, the film also features surprise appearances by our Chinese actors Chen Baoguo and Chen Shu.

As for Yang Mi, I'm sorry, I looked around carefully and only found her in the last few scenes. "

After Yang Mi came back, she was hyped like crazy, and she was on the hot search every other day, which annoyed everyone. But we have to admit that this kind of celebrity with traffic is very effective.

No matter how famous Gilbert Jr. is, he is a foreigner and is not as good at hype as local traffic stars.

Of course, Gilbert's genuine fans are quite contemptuous of Yang Mi's behavior, thinking that she is just trying to attract attention.

In fact, they are right.

Propaganda efforts in North America would not be relaxed either. Peter went back and wrote a detailed film review.

But to sum it up in one sentence: "By the standards of commercial films, The Martian is a very smart big production, and the ups and downs of the plot also bring simple and pure satisfaction to the audience.

"The Martian" is not as ambitious as "Interstellar". It plays a safe card: it is a smart commercial blockbuster that resonates more strongly with real life.

Perhaps this has something to do with Gilbert’s personality. Although he has made many films that seem risky, he has never ventured out of the mainstream market.”

Variety magazine commented: "The significance of The Martian is far more than just a bonanza for Disney. It will rekindle humanity's desire to explore space and inspire the birth of a new generation of astronauts."

As we all know, with the end of the last space shuttle mission, NASA is tightening its pace of space exploration, and humans seem to be turning their attention back from the starry sky to the ground.

But this movie seems to illustrate the importance of space exploration.

The director of NASA also took the opportunity to appeal to Washington to allocate more funds to NASA for space exploration.

Under pressure from public opinion, Washington had to come out and say that it was discussing the issue.

However, in the movie, Gilbert Jr. used Matt Damon's voice to harshly complain about bureaucracy, saying that many Americans simply don't believe Washington's lies.

But then again, if he doesn't pay, how can Commissioner Smith make money? (End of this chapter)
