Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 1158 The Opponent Who Fell to the Street ([-])

"Green Lantern" is directed by Martin Campbell.This is also a fairly big-name director. He once directed "The Mask of Zorro" and was nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars and Golden Globe Awards. He also directed the 007 series "Casino Royale".

Speaking of actors, Ryan Reynolds is also a well-known one.Well, even though it's also Reynolds, it has nothing to do with Lila's father.

He is a very talented actor, and "Buried Alive" can be said to be one of his representatives.It's a thriller about a man buried alive in a coffin six feet below the ground, with only 90 minutes of oxygen left, and using only a dying cell phone to save himself.

He didn't know where he was, he only knew that he was underground, and besides the phone, there was only a lighter beside him.Fear, hesitation, claustrophobic space, and the threat of death, even if there is not as much blood and monsters in other horror films, it still makes people feel the horror that the movie wants to express.

He is the only character who appears in the whole movie. It can be said that the movie is completely supported by his acting skills alone.The same is true of Colin Farrell's "Sniper Phone Booth", which is also a film that tests the acting skills of actors, but "Buried Alive" will make the audience feel more substituting, feel the imminent death, and the suffocating atmosphere.

In addition to Ryan and director Campbell, next year's "Gossip Girl" heroine Blake Lively, who will become Ryan's wife next year, and other participating actors, all attended the premiere of "Green Lantern" in costumes.

Watching Ryan on the TV screen, Laila didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky to be in this movie.Fortunately, he got to know Blake in this filming. Unfortunately, this film also caused him to be regarded as a box office poison, and he almost fell into a slump.

Fortunately, he once played the role of Deadpool in "Wolverine". It was not until the "Deadpool" movie was released a few years later that he finally got rid of his box office poison name and became a high-profile popular niche again.

Probably because he saw Lila smiling so badly, Roy couldn't help but said, "You seem to care about this movie?" If you say you care, it's not the kind of concern that is regarded as a competitor, but more like a kind of Those who wait to see a good show care about it.

"You think it won't do well at the box office?"

How else could it be said that Roy was the person who knew Laila best?I guessed the idea right away.

"How should I say it?" It would be too unrealistic to "predict" that the box office will fluctuate now, and Laila thought about it and found another excuse.

"Anyway, I'm not too optimistic about their movie. The world view of "Green Lantern" is too grand. How to integrate this grandeur into the plot and how to make the audience like it is very difficult. And Green Lantern Xia’s ability is materialization, being able to change what is in his mind is also a very test of the content of the script. If it is done well, the movie will be very exciting, and it will fascinate countless people like "Avatar". If it’s good, it’ll be boring, and it might pay off badly.”

Roy nodded thoughtfully.He hadn't read the Green Lantern comics, but he had heard the comics fans talk about it in the coffee shop she bought, so he knew what kind of superhero he was.In the narratives of those comic book fans, Green Lantern is a very powerful superhero.You can know how strong he is just by seeing that he no longer plays with the people on earth and devotes himself to maintaining the peace of the universe.

Such a film might really be as bad as she said, right?

"Superhero movies have entered the big bang period since Iron Man. There should not be too few people who like superheroes. How is your promotion of "The Avengers" doing?"

After being told by Lila, Roy also felt that "Green Lantern" might not be their competitor, but it was still a popular superhero movie. He felt that even if he couldn't make a lot of money, he shouldn't It's right to lose money.Then, it is bound to have an impact on the box office of "The Avengers", which will be released two weeks later.

"I've done everything I can." Laila said this without any guilt. She really used all the means she could, and even participated in media interviews and programs where she could hide and hide all the time. a lot. "What the result will be depends on the evaluation of the audience."

Roy held her hand in his palm, put it on his lips and kissed it: "Yes, you have done a good job." No matter how others think she will not break the record, and no matter how many people are optimistic about her, yes He doesn't make any sense.Whether she succeeds or fails, she is his favorite woman and the mother of his children.Nothing else matters to him.

He loves her, but not for the honors she brings.As long as she is by his side, he is so happy that he lives in heaven every day.

And as Laila has always said, whether the movie is good or not depends entirely on the audience's evaluation.

The next day, the media gave "Green Lantern" the Friday premiere box office, which was released in 3186 theaters and earned a box office of 2160 million US dollars.

This is a reasonable number, at least in line with the expectations of the producer.According to this figure, it is definitely no problem to win 6000 million in three days on weekends.

At this time, the arranged sailors began to exert their strength, distributing good reviews of the movie everywhere, hoping to attract more people into the movie theater.

But the next Saturday's box office made the producers panic. No one knows whether their trolls will work, but the box office plummeted by 22%.After three days of the weekend, the total box office was only 5268 million US dollars!
Although with so much box office, "Green Lantern" still sat on the throne of the week's box office champion.But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the future of movies is very bad.

The production cost of "Green Lantern" is 2 million, of which 5000 million is the cost of converting to 3D, and then there are 1.25 million publicity expenses, which add up to a terrible 3.25 million US dollars!
Even though the producer said with a smile in an interview that the more than 5000 million yuan in the three days of the premiere weekend was still in their expectation, everyone could see how bitter their smiles were.

Not to mention similar movies in the same period, it is quite rare for previous superhero movies to achieve such poor premiere results.

Look at the comments from the media.

The "Chicago Sun-Times" thinks that this film is completely a "light and sound show"!Bombard the audience with visual and sound effects.

And "Entertainment Weekly" focused on the lead actor Ryan Reynolds, thinking that he played Green Lantern very "real", and real heroes are different from super heroes.

To prove their point, they also brought up the concerns raised by fans of the comics when the film was set to star Ryan.As early as that time, many people thought that Ryan's temperament was more like a big brother next door, rather than the extremely powerful Green Lantern in their hearts.

The "Washington Globe" scored the lowest in the mainstream media. They think this movie is a classic, a classic of bad movies.

　The relevant data and film reviews are all from Du Niang, which are real figures.

　　In addition, "Buried Alive" is indeed a very... terrible movie. If you have claustrophobia, you should not watch it.For those who are broad-minded, it may not be so touching, and it may be boring after just a second glance.

　　When Lao Zhuang watched it, his heart was hanging there all the time, he couldn't get up or down, and he felt very depressed.After a long time, I can't forget the picture in the movie.
