Reborn I am the second generation of stars

Chapter 1319 Don't Think Better
"Pearl Harbor is a stretched three-hour film about how the islanders' surprise attack on December 3, 1941 serves as the foil for an American love triangle. Its main gimmick is the length of Forty minutes of cumbersome special effects interspersed with a swooningly corny love story, the film is poorly directed, lacks imagination and originality, and while it may remember a few lines when it comes out of the theater, it is by no means derived from admiration." (New York Times)

"In terms of acting, the three protagonists are all competent, but they lack shining points. The male protagonist is used to playing bullish roles, and his temperament is probably not far from his own; the male is a bit like Kobe when he was young, and he looks like a star. I don't know how high the acting skills are; the British actress Kate is just a vase, and it should be no problem to get familiar with this movie. The appearance of the three is good, and under the careful adjustment of photography, make-up and costumes, they show that they are themselves. Grounded, but not quite enough charisma. (film review)"

Bad reviews are bad reviews, bad reviews for "Pearl Harbor" pop up all the time, which is almost fatal for a movie, because "Pearl Harbor" is in theaters, and its bad reviews will affect His follow-up box office, after all, if a movie wants long-term benefits, it still depends on its own quality.

As soon as the reputation of "Pearl Harbor" collapsed, Douglas called the meeting again, because "Home Alone" will be released after "Pearl Harbor".

Xu Qiandao: "Pearl Harbor has a very bad reputation, maybe we can do some articles."

Ma Long also said: "If the box office of "Pearl Harbor" drops later, the theaters will definitely make adjustments."

The theater chain is very realistic. They only focus on commercial interests. Whichever movie can make them make money, then which movie can get a lot of filming.

"You mean?"

Douglas has figured it out.

"At that time, there will be a lot of vacant theaters, and the number of vacant theaters..."

The light in Douglas' eyes flickered more and more: "We can win most of it."

Xu Qiandao: "We can also add fuel to the flames in terms of public opinion."

Xu Qian will not be polite with Bang Bei. Since the two are opponents, he will use all means to knock them down and destroy them. Who made him mess with himself?Xu Qian has always believed in the principle that people don't offend me, I won't offend others, and if others offend me, I will offend others. Since he offended him after the explosion, he must make him look good.

The word-of-mouth of "Pearl Harbor" is definitely not what it is now. In fact, the word-of-mouth of "Pearl Harbor" is worse than imagined. It's just that Fox has suppressed public opinion. For example, the remarks of those veterans cannot be published. .

Ma Long glanced at Xu Qian in surprise, he didn't think that this person would be such a vengeful man, and provoking him after the explosion was really not worth the candle.

But this is also a normal business operation, and others can't say anything, isn't that what shopping malls are like?Intrigues, scrambles, and anything can be done for the benefit, Xu Qian has already done it very restrained.

Ma Long said in his heart: "Don't mess with this Chinese in the future."

Although he looks like a bully, he actually holds a lot of grudges. Once he gets mad, his opponent will fall into an extremely difficult situation.

Douglas nodded, "Okay."

He didn't think there was anything wrong. This kind of thing is too common in Hollywood. He felt that if Fox had such an opportunity, he would definitely not be willing to hack "Home Alone".

At that time, it will depend on the quality of "Home Alone" and Warner's public relations ability. Douglas is still very confident in his own public relations ability. He believes that Warner's public relations ability is stronger than Fox's. Warner is going to be stronger than Fox, this is Douglas' self-confidence.

Warner quickly launched a network troll army. Yes, there are also cyber trolls in North America. As the birthplace of the Internet, North America’s network is already very developed, and it is penetrating into every corner of work and life in this country. What matters is the huge influence, and Warner only needs to make some actions to fuel the flames, then "Pearl Harbor" will be beyond redemption.

No, the ratings of "Pearl Harbor" dropped rapidly again.

The imdb score went from a little over six to a failing 5.3. . . . . .

The cinemascore network score is only 5.2 points. . . . . . . .

The score of a movie has already failed. It is conceivable how bad this movie is. This is almost a devastating blow to the self-proclaimed epic movie "Pearl Harbor".

If it is the popcorn movie that Bangbei made in the past, there may still be a possibility of turning over, and there is almost no possibility of turning over in an epic movie like this.

And those veterans also preached how bad "Pearl Harbor" really is.

"What is this film about? It doesn't respect war at all, and it doesn't respect historical facts at all. How can war be so romantic, and how can there be so many romances? His brain was kicked by a donkey, and I was so mad. People are not fit to be directors."

"I was very heartbroken when I saw it. The war is so cruel and serious, and he actually took pictures of it."

"Is this person eating too many brain-dead movies? I think he should go back and shoot explosion movies. A movie that can only shoot explosions wants to touch serious war themes. This is simply a blasphemy against this theme. Such a person Go back where you came from."

"Is this a war movie? Why can't I feel it? This is clearly a movie about a love triangle. The war is just a foil. The way the movie is shot is disrespectful to that battlefield!"

. . . . . . . . . . . .

These comments were only suppressed by Fox in the past, but now that Warner is behind the scenes, Fox naturally cannot suppress it. Although Fox is angry, there is nothing he can do about it, because not only Warner is targeting Fox, but Paramount, another big Hollywood giant, is also Against him.

As long as "Pearl Harbor" is obtained, the box office of "Poseidon" released by Paramount can also go further.

In the final analysis, "Pearl Harbor" is really too bad, and it is just a fool who can't afford it.

"Pearl Harbor" was about to explode.

"You turned a war movie into a love scene, love your mother, love, a boring love triangle!"

"As soon as Bang Bei plays a love scene, God will laugh and the film will rot!"

"The love triangle of blood and thunder has a dime relationship with war, which is far inferior to the previous "Saving Private"."

"I think it's easy to shoot very successful subjects, but the director didn't. He did half of the work, and turned to emotion when he was done."

"I want to say that it's enough for two people to fall in love with the same person. Isn't it good for the first male and the second male to be together? Really, two people depend on each other for life, and it feels good to take care of and trust each other. For a woman, What a pain."

"Garbage, I really can't think of any comments to use to evaluate this movie. This is a garbage movie. I can't watch it directly. Watching this movie really affects my mood."

"There is no respect for historical facts, and the exaggeration is excessive, but for commercial blockbusters, the eyeball effect is enough to hold up the box office; half of the emotional scenes are excluded, and the rest is pretty good; the male lead will always be a cup."

"The most tasteless love line in the history of blockbusters. Could the two male protagonists be more boring? Kate is like a movie star laborer all the time. I almost want to thank the island army for throwing bombs and interrupting them."

"After the explosion, after the explosion, you will only shoot movies with special effects of explosions. This kind of movie has a complicated plot and deep connotation. You should not touch it, so as not to embarrass yourself."

. . . . . . . . . .

Originally, the word-of-mouth of "Pearl Harbor" was not very good, and now the word-of-mouth has declined further. This is a complete disaster for the movie "Pearl Harbor".

The bomber was about to go crazy, he really didn't think it would be like this, the box office of "Pearl Harbor" would have dropped due to poor word of mouth, but now the decline will intensify, there must be someone behind the scenes to fuel the flames .

Bang Bei knows that Hollywood is like this, everything comes first, and you can only bear with others messing with you.

Of course he felt very aggrieved, very aggrieved, especially when he saw the poor reviews of "Pearl Harbor" from ordinary audiences.

Explosive knows that there is still some influence on the box office of summer movies, but it tends to zero infinitely. It is these ordinary people who really determine the box office, but now these ordinary people are standing on the opposite side of "Pearl Harbor". Not worried?
What made him even more deflated were the comments.

"I'm still waiting to use Home Alone to heal the damage done by Pearl Harbor!"

"Pearl Harbor made something. After the explosion, he still slandered Xu Qian. I don't think he is as good as Xu Qian. You should go watch "Home Alone" and learn how to make a movie!"

"I'm not going to see "Pearl Harbor" anymore, I still save my pocket money to buy "Home Alone" tickets."

"Ditch "Pearl Harbor" and wait for "Home Alone!"

"Pearl Harbor is so fucking trash."

"Waiting for +1!"

"Waiting for Home Alone..."

. . . . . . . . . . .

Bang Bei was about to be driven mad by these comments, how could he still not know who was behind the scenes?

Whoever gets the most benefits is the mastermind behind the scenes, and Xu Qian's hateful smile appeared unconsciously in his mind: "This scorpion."

He didn't think that the person he looked down on would let him fall into such a passive situation.

"Damn, damn, damn!"

Bang Bei only felt that his chest was full of depression.

The pre-publicity and large-scale investment of "Pearl Harbor" can attract audiences into the theater, but when the negative word of mouth begins to ferment and spread, its box office will be like all the big-budget movies that drive high and go low. Diving suddenly.

As a result, the single-day box office of "Pearl Harbor" shrank to 321 million US dollars, and then continued to decline, only getting 305 million US dollars. . . . . . . . . . . .

The role of the online water army is really too strong. It can lift a movie to the sky, and it can also send a movie to hell. Of course, the quality of the movie is indeed a problem first.

Although the box office of "Pearl Harbor" exceeded 5000 million U.S. dollars, the serious diving trend caused various forecasting agencies to lower their final box office expectations. One hundred million U.S. dollars.

If it really can't even break through [-] million US dollars, then the movie "Pearl Harbor" will become a disaster-level movie.

"The next thing it will face is the Chinese "Home Alone"."

Now no one dares to underestimate that Chinese person, and no one dares to underestimate "Home Alone". A Chinese person's success in such a strange country is enough to explain the problem.

The spacious office was silent, Bang Bei was sitting alone on the desk, laying out a report that had just been printed out, his eyes occasionally glanced over the numbers on the report, and his brows, which were already knit together, frowned Tighter.

The spring is bright outside, but Bang Bei is cold inside.

The coldness, of course, comes from "Pearl Harbor," which just opened for a weekend.

Although he knew that the box office of "Pearl Harbor" would collapse as word of mouth fermented, he did not expect it to collapse to this extent.

If he is a famous director, he may find it difficult to direct commercial blockbusters in the future, or he may quit the arena because of this, and he will never be a director again!
Bang Bei didn't know what to say, his eyes touched the report again, and the numbers on the report made him feel very glaring.

Too bad, "Pearl Harbor" is barely breaking $7000 million at the box office today.

$7000 million is a lot, but it's nothing compared to the huge investment of this movie.

This film has increased investment several times, and the final production cost reached as much as 1 million U.S. dollars, plus promotional expenses, that's a full 5000 million U.S. dollars!
Now, how much can the $2 million be recovered?
After the explosion, I didn't dare to imagine it, because the more I thought about it, the worse my headache was!

You must know that in order to give investors confidence, he also put all his net worth into it. Now it seems that he himself may go bankrupt, and he may have to owe a lot of debts. In the future, he will probably make movies to pay off the debts.

That kind of career was not what he wanted. The reason why he wanted to make "Pearl Harbor" was because he didn't want to be controlled by others, and he didn't want to make movies that he didn't like.

But now the box office of "Pearl Harbor" is not satisfactory, and his future will be more restricted.

"Too deceiving!"

"Damn Chinese."

Although there is no evidence, Bang Bei can think with his toes that Warner Bros. and Xu Qian must be behind the scenes, and Paramount, the distribution company behind "Poseidon", which was screened at the same time as "Pearl Harbor", definitely did not stand idly by. Although the audiences of the film are different, since there is an opportunity to suppress "Pearl Harbor", no one will let go of this opportunity.

And it's not without its benefits.

In the last two working days, the single-day box office of this film, which is known as using the attack on Pearl Harbor to set off the love triangle, has dropped below 200 million US dollars.

What frightened him was that the theaters made adjustments to the schedule of "Pearl Harbor", and "Pearl Harbor" was cut off a considerable amount of theaters.

Originally, "Pearl Harbor" had been screened in about 3300 theaters, but before the arrival of the new weekend, 400 theaters were cut off, of which 200 screens were divided up by "Poseidon" and other movies, and the other 200 were screened. The home screen was included in "Home Alone"!
The epic masterpiece "Home Alone" jointly created by Xu Qian and Warner Bros. will open in 3562 theaters!
As long as he thought of this number, Bang Bei couldn't suppress the anger in his chest.

Because the other party is stepping on him, he has always looked down on the Chinese, but now he is severely slapped by a Chinese like Xu Qian, why doesn't this make him angry?
His anger was beyond words, he really wanted to kick Xu Qian to death.

However, after this battle, after the explosion, he had seen how powerful Xu Qian was.

At this moment, the strongest desire in Bang Bei's heart is for Xu Qian's "Home Alone" to hit the street.
