The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1340 One Hundred Percent
The competition in Hollywood and Vanity Fair is so fierce that it is simply unimaginable. Only by truly being in it and experiencing it can you get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg.

However, there are still countless young people who show up one after another and arrive in Los Angeles with the dream of becoming famous overnight and changing their lives.

Finally, taste the bitterness of tears in the cold and cruel night of the City of Angels.

Zack Snyder is no exception.

After struggling in the mud of Hollywood for nearly a decade, he finally encountered a suitable project and finally started working on it. He couldn't help but dream about the glory and miracle of becoming an overnight sensation and rewriting his destiny, and he was looking forward to a bright future with nervousness and anticipation.

result?

Like countless other people in Hollywood, a bucket of cold water was poured down on me.

With a snap, the bubble of fantasy burst.

That kind of loss and melancholy is so overwhelming that it is almost unbearable.

So, what’s next?

I can't see the future. It's all dark.

It took so many years to wait for the first opportunity, and it is still unknown when and whether the second opportunity will come.

It's all Anson's fault.

Universal Pictures clearly knew that "Dawn of the Dead" would be released this week, but refused to spend promotional resources here, and watched "Eternal Love" steal all the attention. Who knows if Anson was threatening Universal Pictures behind the scenes and prohibiting them from using media resources to promote their competitors.

If it weren't for that vase, they wouldn't have been ignored so thoroughly, and they wouldn't even have had the chance to be reported in the news media.

He cursed that "Eternal Love" would fail at the box office and in terms of reputation, causing Focus Features to go bankrupt, and then the entire Hollywood would collectively ban Anson.

Ah, ahhhhh…

Zack felt as if his internal organs were burning. The torment and pain were indescribable. He tossed and turned, burning in hell.

Wait, word of mouth. Yes, word of mouth!
Now it's just news coverage. Whether the movie will be successful or not should still be judged by word of mouth, including reviews from the media and the audience.

and!

For works like "Dawn of the Dead", media reputation is of no reference value!
Horror movies have always been unpopular among film critics, and this prejudice has continued for many years. They tend to be extremely picky about horror movies, so that the overall media reviews of horror movies are low. This is not just a special case of one or two movies, but a common phenomenon.

Therefore, the real test of horror movies still comes from the audience. As long as that small group of niche supporters of horror genre works are satisfied, there is still hope for the movie box office.

He should not be discouraged, nor should he despair, because the journey of "Dawn of the Dead" has just begun.

But has he already started looking for a backup plan for himself before he even reads the media comments?

No, no, no, this attitude is wrong. He should have full trust in the media and confidence in the audience.

They can recognize good from bad, and they can judge correctly.

As for Anson Wood?

Haha, an idol-like vase, with nothing good except that face; what's more, in his opinion, that face does not conform to his aesthetic taste. He really cannot understand the fact that everyone in Hollywood calls Anson handsome. It is simply unbelievable. Are they all short-sighted?
"Eternal Love"... um... Charlie Kaufman and Kate Winslet...

My palms were sweating.

But that movie was only released to a small audience, wasn't it? From the positioning strategy, it can be seen that Focus Features is not going to compete head-on.

He should be confident. He should be firm. There is no need to lose his composure because of these minor disturbances.

He took a deep breath, and another deep breath. His heart was still beating wildly, but Zach finally regained some confidence. He sat up straight again and turned on the computer.

Media review.

Judging from the recent trend and atmosphere, the entire Hollywood should be paying close attention to the media reviews. Everyone is curious about when Anson will fall, how long this vase can continue to ride on the wind, and when the bubble of Anson's so-called box office myth will burst. The more noisy and lively the media is, the greater the pressure on "The Warmth of the Heart".

It just so happens that when all attention is focused on "Eternal Love of Mind", you can also take a look at "Dawn of the Dead". You will find that this remake has exploded in the media reputation and may even crush "Eternal Love of Mind", punching Charlie Kaufman and kicking Anson Wood, giving you a little shock.

Then, the media will come one by one to kneel down and lick their boots -

Zack is confident about this, 100% confident. He believes that no one in Hollywood can do a better remake job than him.

Everything is perfect.

He is gold. If you give him a chance, no one can stop him from shining.

What is “the warm light within”? Haha, in the end, all of them will become his stepping stones.

Thoughts were surging in his mind, and as he thought about it, a smile crept up on the corners of his mouth again. Zack was even a little excited and expectant, and couldn't wait to see the overwhelming praise from the media reviews.

Then, the page slowly refreshed in front of him. Zack was stunned, his smile froze on the corner of his mouth, and the unbelievable shock directly made his mind go blank——

how is this possible.

Media comprehensive review, fifty-nine points.

Surprisingly. Failed. Only 59 points.

Is this the rating for "Dawn of the Dead", not "Sunny Days"?

After repeated confirmation, Zack still got the same answer. The work he poured countless efforts and energy into only got 59 points in the end.

incredible.

Holding his breath, Zack's first subconscious reaction was to search for "Warm Light Within" and wait for the page to refresh.

The process of the page slowly appearing bit by bit was simply a torture, but Zack did not move at all, just standing there stiffly in a daze.

Until the page is fully displayed——

"Warmth Within Light", 95 points.

Five thunderstorms hit the top.

transfixed.

It's not just rave reviews, it can be said to be an explosion of praise, from fifty-nine points to ninety-five points, the two Arabic numerals swapped positions, but it was like going from heaven to hell and from hell to heaven, hovering on the brink of life and death, dying and living, a life worse than death.

How did all this happen?
Zack stood there in a daze, not even noticing that his shoulders and spine collapsed. There was only one thought in his mind: media reviews are not important. These sycophants who fawn over Anson are not important at all, not important at all. They can't understand his art at all. The only thing that matters is the audience.

The audience will speak out with practical actions, and we can tell by looking at the box office. At that time, "Dawn of the Dead" will prove its value with the box office.

He, Zack Snyder, is a misunderstood, buried and misinterpreted genius.

Over and over again, Zack convinced himself, left the table angrily, turned away from the computer, returned to the kitchen, and started cleaning frantically.

Scrub, scrub, scrub.

However, halfway through the scrubbing, he couldn't help himself, and without warning, Zack let out a roar, "Ah!"

Outside the window, the sparrow was startled and flapped its wings and flew away from the treetops.

But other than that, everything was quiet and nothing seemed to have changed in the world.
