Chapter 899 The confrontation between the two sides has really begun(1/2)
James thought for a while and replied: "About ninety percent."
The reporter nodded and asked Director Walter next to him: "Director Walter, how do you evaluate the competition between "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and "Avengers 3"?"
Walter smiled and said: "I haven't watched "Avengers 3" yet, so I can't comment, but judging from "Star Wars 7: The Force Awakens", "Avengers 3" will usher in its most powerful moment.
opponent."
"So, you are very optimistic about "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens"?"
Walter nodded and said: "Yes, I like this movie very much. When I go back, I will write a long review specifically."
Another man also gave a very high evaluation to "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens", which made the CEO of Soli Film Company Maddie very happy, and the worries in his heart were relieved a lot.
The fact that "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens" was praised by everyone reached Herman's ears.
However, he was not worried about Thailand, because there were dozens of exclamations in the theater where he was. Not to mention ordinary movie fans, even he, a veteran who has been in Hollywood for many years, had to feel sorry for the characters in this movie.
Big thumbs up.
No way, the special effects in this movie are really great.
Although Herman has not seen the finished film of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens", he is 100% sure that "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is definitely not as good as "Avengers 3".
Half an hour later, the screening of "Avengers 3" ended.
The lights in the theater came on, and there was overwhelming applause. Everyone was full of praise for the movie.
When being interviewed by reporters, Spielberg said bluntly: "This is the best visual effect movie I have ever seen, bar none!"
Director Li Lan: "Mr. Zhang's control of battle scenes and use of special effects technology are definitely the best in the world. I can't imagine that the movie can still be shot like this. Although it took a lot of people, I think it is worth it."
···
Nuolan commented: "If Zhang Da's movie was out of ten, I would give it twelve. He has used special effects technology to the extreme and set an almost insurmountable monument for subsequent directors."
"Oh my god, can you imagine a one-and-a-half-hour-long battle scene in a movie?"
"If I hadn't watched "Avengers 3," I would never have believed it."
···
Two movies with huge reputations are competing in the same schedule. The most distressing thing is the fans.
They didn't know which movie to choose for a while, so most of them stayed at home, waiting for everyone's comments.
The first thing to come out is "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens", which has a 91% freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which is much better than the reputation on Chinese film review websites.
Just when I thought "Avengers 3" was likely to fail, its 98% freshness directly slapped countless people in the face.
"Ninety-eight percent freshness, how is this possible?"
"Marvel fans, you've gone too far!"
"Is "Avengers 3" really that good?"
"The question upstairs is very stupid. Regarding "Avengers 3", I can tell you clearly that this movie is the most shocking movie I have ever seen, bar none."
"There is no peeve in the whole process. From the beginning to the end, countless superheroes united to fight Thanos and were beaten to death by Thanos. Xiao Shen gave us an unparalleled visual enjoyment."
"I never thought that the ending of "Avengers 3" would be like that. Now you can only look forward to "Avengers 4" to set things right."
"The one-and-a-half-hour grand battle made my blood boil with excitement. No wonder Xiao Shen said that it cost 400 million US dollars to make for the audience. It was really great."
"I haven't watched "Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force Awakens," but in terms of the level of top-notch special effects shown in "Avengers 3," I don't think any movie can qualify as its rival."
"For fans who have not watched "Avengers 3", please don't say that you have watched blockbusters. I can tell you clearly that there will only be two types of blockbusters in the future, one is "Avengers 3" and the other is other blockbusters.
"
"Xiao Shen has created a huge monster. I feel that this monster can swallow up countless box office receipts. Anyway, I will watch it at least three times."
“···”
McGrady, CEO of Soli Company, has not been resting. He is anxiously waiting for the reputation of "Avengers 3".
When the 98% freshness came out, McGrady's face instantly turned pale, he slammed the table and cursed: "It's wrong, it must be wrong."
"The Rotten Tomatoes website must have been bought by Disney, otherwise how could there be a score of 98%?"
Indeed, 98% freshness has only appeared twice in the entire history of Hollywood movies, and they were both literary films.
It is basically impossible to obtain this document for popcorn commercial blockbusters like "Avengers 3" and "Star Wars".
McGrady immediately called the publicity department and asked them to investigate the issue of fake freshness in "Avengers 3."
Not only McGrady, but also other film companies who have been paying attention to the war between the two movies have also raised questions.
This question quickly spread to the Internet.
Although countless Marvel fans spoke for "Avengers 3", it did not have much effect, which made more people doubt it.
Seeing that things were getting worse, Herman, the CEO of Disney Pictures, couldn't sit still and held a press conference.
"Mr. Herman, some people say that you bribed the Rotten Tomatoes website to increase the freshness of "Avengers 3" to 98%. Is this true?"
Herman smiled and said: "Of course it is fake. If we want to buy freshness, we will never be stupid enough to buy the number of 98%. The reason is very simple. This number is too scary and will arouse everyone's doubts.
"
"Are you saying Avengers 3 is really that good?"
Herman said confidently: "This is an affirmative sentence, no question marks. If it were me, I would also give full marks to "Avengers 3". There is a saying in China that there is no one who has ever done it before, and there is no one who will come after it."
"I don't know if this movie shot by our boss will be surpassed in the future. The only thing I know is that in terms of visual effects, none of the previous movies can compare with "Avengers 3"."
"Mr. Herman, are you saying that Mr. Zhang's "Avengers 3" has achieved something unprecedented? Are all other movies inferior to "Avengers 3"?"
Herman said: "Please listen to what I say clearly. What I mean is that in terms of visual effects, all previous movies are inferior to "Avengers 3", including "Zhu Xian 2" shot by Mr. Zhang himself."
"Mr. Herman, you don't seem to have mentioned "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens"?"
Herman smiled slightly and said: "I've already mentioned it. What I just said is that no movie can compare to "Avengers 3" in terms of visual effects, including this one."
"Mr. Herman, the Christmas period has completely become the arena for "Avengers 3" and "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens". Are you confident in winning this competition?"
Herman said: "Our opponent of "Avengers 3" has never been "Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force Awakens," but "Zhu Xian 2," which ranks No. 1 at the global box office and was shot by our boss himself.
"Mr. Herman, are you saying that "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens" is not qualified to be your opponent?"
Herman said with a smile: "If you want to be our opponent, the first thing you have to do is surpass the box office of "Zhu Xian 2". By the way, I hope some people will stop making small tricks."
"There are now many posts in major comment sections on the Internet saying that we bribed the Rotten Tomatoes website to change the score. This is nonsense and has had a very negative impact on our movie."
"We will carefully investigate the source of these posts, and if we find out, we will immediately take him to court. All our losses will be held responsible by those who spread the rumors."
"There is another piece of news I want to tell you. The Film Critic Network is the most famous, professional and authoritative rating website in China, and its influence is equivalent to that of Rotten Tomatoes in Europe and the United States."
"As of the time I held the press conference, 220,000 Chinese movie fans had given "Avengers 3" a super high score of 9.82, which is equivalent to 98.2% of freshness on Rotten Tomatoes.
Spend."
"With such a good reputation, there is no need for us to go to any lengths and commit fraud."
"Okay, that's all I have to say, goodbye."
Shortly after Herman held a press conference, Rotten Tomatoes also held a press conference.
Their CEO simply took out a Bible, put his hand down on it, and swore in the name of God that Rotten Tomatoes had not done anything to manipulate data, whether it was "Avengers 3" or "Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force Awakens."
.
Rotten Tomatoes’ statement won everyone’s trust.
Originally, Tracy McGrady was preparing to launch a massive attack on Disney, but after seeing this situation, all he could say was that he had stopped.
Amid the turmoil that has plagued Chinese women, the first-day box office results of "Avengers 3" and "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens" in China were the first to come out.
"Avengers 3" earned more than 1.3 billion in box office, while "Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force Awakens" followed closely with a box office of 800 million.
The reason why these two movies have achieved such high box office is mainly because their film schedules are so large.
"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" accounted for 36%, "Avengers 3" accounted for 34%, and the two movies directly hit 70%.
The remaining 30% of the production is divided among the other eight movies. In other words, China will have ten movies released during this period, and other movies have fled.
The number of movie releases has set a new record for the entire year.
After Yang Mi saw the box office results, she frowned slightly and said, "Why is it so close? I originally thought I could close the gap with "Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force Awakens."
Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "The length of "Avengers 3" is nearly 40 minutes longer than "Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force Awakens." In other words, we have fewer screenings every day than the other party."
"Even so, we can beat each other, which shows that our potential is far greater than theirs. Also, although the mass base of "Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force Awakens" is not good, there are still many Star Wars fans.
"
"They probably went back to watch it in the first three days. After these people finish watching it, "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens" will probably be finished in China."
Yang Mi shrugged and said, "I hope so!"
After the box office of China was released, the box office of other countries and regions also came out one after another.
In Europe and the United States, the box office of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is 30 million US dollars higher than that of "Avengers 3".
The former got 410 million, and the latter got 380 million. But in terms of attendance, the latter is much higher than the former. The main problem is the length of the film.
