Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 775

For movies, rhythm is a very important place that needs to be perfectly controlled.

If the pace is too fast, the audience will lack a sense of substitution, and if it is too slow, it will make people drowsy.Looking at the blockbuster action movies produced by Hollywood, almost all the successful ones have a good grasp of the rhythm.

Action scenes, emotional scenes, and a sense of humor interspersed from time to time.These moments make up the skeleton of the whole movie, and then you can add plots that advance the plot elsewhere.

But it doesn’t mean designing a small script in a few minutes, and then designing a big script in ten minutes. How to grasp this speed must be comprehended by the director himself.Therefore, Laila can only tell him some of his own experience, and he needs to go through a lot of experiments to master the rest.

Nolan is very grateful for Leila's help.In return, he put her name in the writing column for The Prestige.Other than that, he couldn't find a way to express his gratitude elsewhere.

And Laila directly invested in the film, not only did not set up a line for funds, but even let him go to his own company to pick whoever the crew needed.You must know that her company is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and she has even won quite a few Oscars.

For this, Nolan has no other words of gratitude other than vowing to make "The Prestige" well.There is an old oriental saying: A scholar dies for his confidant, and he deeply understands this at this time.

The busy days continued until the end of the year, and a report on taking stock of summer movies attracted a lot of attention and controversy.

The focus of the report is very interesting, that is, the three movies that have been detonated at the box office this summer.

That's right, three parts.

Suddenly seeing the word "three parts" stunned many movie fans, because apart from remembering the explosion of "Lord of the Rings 1" and the "Bat Bat" which bravely challenged Leila's authority and won the weekly box office champion from the tiger's mouth. Except for Xia: Mystery of Xia Ying, there seems to be no good movie that they can always remember.

However, the report pointed to a forgotten blockbuster, Steven Spielberg's "War of the Worlds."

Until seeing this name, countless people remembered that when they first entered the summer vacation, wasn't it the big screen that was detonated by this movie?How come I don't have any impression of it afterward?

The report made various investigations on this phenomenon, why the public and media critics gave "Spielberg's darkest sci-fi film" when it was released, "it is a huge, frightening, vivid and Funny movie" and "opened up a new style of science fiction" and so on.

Some fans even uttered slogans such as "the most exciting movie this summer" and "the best commercial movie to watch this summer".

It can be seen that this movie also has his success.

But why do people forget its existence when the summer vacation is over?

Readers who see this are also wondering in their hearts, yes, why don't they remember this movie at all?
The newspaper gave an interesting account that this happened because the film's distributor made a mistake.

The original "War of the Worlds" was scheduled for June 6.But ever since they knew that Laila's "Lord of the Rings" was also set around this time, they changed the schedule to the first day of the summer session.That way they wouldn't have to fight Laila directly.

Although it seemed that Spielberg was afraid of Laila, in fact there was nothing wrong with this strategy. Whether they could fight or not, what was certain was that they could not deal with it in a crushing way.Or that no one has the confidence to crush Leila's movie.

Since it can't be crushed, it will definitely cause a lose-lose situation.Moreover, Lila chose the time to make a bet with Mike Bay, and it was obviously impossible to negotiate with her to change to another time, so the distributor of "War of the Worlds" simply coordinated and changed their own movie to a different time.

They're not the only ones doing this, and several movies have done the same thing.So much so that a vacuum was accidentally vacated during this year's summer vacation, so that within a few weeks of "Lord of the Rings", except for "The Mystery of Shadow", no other blockbuster movies were released.

According to the report, it seems that "War of the Worlds" has changed its schedule, defeated many small films and won a good box office, and also received a lot of good reviews.But compared with "The Mystery of Heroes and Shadows", it is much worse.

Why do people only remember Laila and Nolan's movies when talking about summer movies?It was because the two movies collided directly!

The detonation of "The Lord of the Rings" made movie fans hooked, and at the same time remembered the "Mystery of Heroes" on the collision.Perhaps at the beginning, it was indeed affected by Lord of the Rings and lost some income, but as word of mouth rose, people became aware of this new Batman movie through Lord of the Rings.

In an old oriental saying, this is called a blessing in disguise.When everyone thought that Batman was going to be unlucky, Lord of the Rings played a role in helping it promote it.People are curious about the Mystery of Shadow, and want to know where it is so confident that they can directly collide with a terrifying behemoth like Lord of the Rings without worrying about being crushed.

So part of the box office that might have been lost at the beginning was made up under such circumstances.And because the quality of the movie itself is not bad, it has attracted a lot of attention.

After the summer vacation is over, when everyone is reminiscing about this box office battle, only "Lord of the Rings" and "Batman Begins" come to mind. As for "War of the Worlds", no one still remembers it.

The report ended with a sneer at the publishers of War of the Worlds, arguing that they had done a losing job by backing down.If they are as brave as Batman and confront Lila's movie head-on, it will definitely ignite the heat, and finally become a topic that is talked about by the public.

Laila read the report at Demi's prompt.The reported arguments are interesting, but the final speculations are only speculations.If "War of the Worlds" really stayed at that time, I'm afraid it would have died miserably.

It's not that it's of poor quality, but three equally good films crammed together will certainly have an impact on all three.Just such a small box office, you earn and I grab, no matter how much you can get, there is not much more.

The money in the hands of movie fans is also limited, and many people may spend enough to watch one or two shows in the cinema. In this way, the three movies will inevitably cause mutual competition.That outcome is not good for anyone.
