Chapter 38 Ant vs. Elephant
Roger Albert, the most influential critic in the United States and even the world, will be the first professional critic to leave his name on the Avenue of Fame in two years.
He gave high-quality movies four stars, and generally gave the worst movie half a star unless he thought the movie was "unartless" or "morally disgusting".
With a unique set of aesthetic and analytical theories for film, he first discovered a large number of film talents, including great director Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Oscar winner Al Pacino, and Oscar nominee actor Warren Betty.
His evaluation has even become the main symbol of measuring the success of a film, and it is also a reference benchmark for countless movie fans to watch movies. Many filmmakers are honored to have obtained his approval.
The day after he was buried alive, he commented on his main battlefield, The Chicago Sun Times: "I hate this movie, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it,
Yes, you read that right, I hate it from the bottom of my heart, because I feel buried from beginning to end, and I am buried a little bit until the last moment I almost suffocated, and I don’t like being buried alive.”
Warner Bros. Distribution Manager Dan Fehrman smiled and put down the Chicago Sun Times. With Roger Albert's comment, the box office that buried alive will definitely be affected a lot.
As an insider, he knew how much influence Roger Albert's reviews had. The only thing that made him depressed was that the review actually gave four stars to "Buried Live".
The four stars represent high-quality movies. Dan Fehrman thinks this should be a printing error in the Chicago Sun Times, which led to the existence of four stars.
Chen Tian in Los Angeles seemed a little frustrated when he saw Roger Albert's comment. Although he was mentally prepared for the outside world's evaluation, he could accept it whether it was good or bad.
But in Chen Tian's opinion, Roger Albert's opinion is different from others, but Chen Tian quickly calmed down. He believed that one day his movie would impress the picky Roger Albert.
When he lowered his head and looked at Roger Albert's comments on other movies, Chen Tian was surprised to find that it turned out to be a four-star sign after the movie. Chen Tian and Dan Fehrman had the same idea that this was a newspaper printing error.
Many people left messages directly on Roger Albert's blog, and some even called the Chicago Sun Times to ask about the misunderstanding of the incident and asked the newspaper to take back the newspaper and issue a statement.
On the third day after the preview of "Burning Live", Roger Albert gave an explanation to himself with four stars in his column: "You are not wrong with four stars, this is my evaluation of the film. Although I hate it very much, it is an excellent movie. I am explaining to you my experience of watching the movie.
I hate the feeling of being buried alive, if it's fake I don't think I would use words like this, throw away those damn bad thrillers and horror movies, and go and see buried alive, and you'll find this is a real closed space movie.
Also Justin Chen will become an excellent thriller director.”
Roger Albert's reversal comment surprised many people. Those who read yesterday's comments immediately picked up yesterday's newspaper comparisons. In fact, as he said, it was because it was too realistic that he hated it.
This made Dan Fehrman put down the newspaper with some depression, but he firmly believed that the Terminator would give a fatal blow to bury alive.
"Justin, you actually conquered that picky guy Roger Albert?" Tom Thorneberg was full of excitement. "Your talent has also been recognized by the public, and you will become a great director in the future."
"Thank you." Chen Tian said with a smile. How could Chen Tian not understand the change in Tom Thorenberg's attitude?
To put it bluntly, he can bring benefits to the Lions Gate. If he cannot bring benefits to the Lions Gate, then Tom Thorneberg will definitely not be like this now.
"Justin, I told you last time that script you were about to shoot."
Tom Thorenberg has been in a good mood recently and has not been so busy. I remember that Chen Tian still has two scripts in his hand. He doesn't want to miss these two scripts that may continue to bring benefits to the Lions Gate.
"Oh, sorry, I've been too concerned about burying alive these days and I forgot it."
"Our busyness is worth it, and we are about to harvest the fruits of our success."
"Tom, we are friends, right?"
Tom Thorenberg looked at Chen Tian: "Of course, of course, he is a friend."
"Liongate wants to invest in my shooting, right? Or just buy the copyright and leave it to me to shoot?" Chen Tian said directly. He doesn't like to love to beat around the bush.
"Yes, you have told us how talented you are. We believe your videos will continue to be outstanding, but not every film is like burying alive and can be completed with just a little money, so I think we can cooperate." Tom Thorenberg did not expect Chen Tian to come up with it himself, and simply expressed his attitude.
"Thank you for your approval. If there were no Lions Gate, it might not be released even if it was buried alive, but our next two movies are not invested much, so there is no need to invest for the time being.
In addition, I am not the director of the next two films. In addition to being an assistant, I am more precisely the producer." Chen Tian continued to look at Tom Thorenberg, "Tom, although it has not been officially released on a large scale, we have worked together very happily.
If you want, Lions Gate is still my first choice for cooperation. If you think the next video is not in line with your appetite, then I will look for other cooperation. What do you think?"
No investment is required, which means that you can only cooperate. The first "Buried Live" is divided into the first two movies, so almost nothing unexpected happens to the next two movies.
He hates the feeling of being restrained, but he still smiles professionally: "Of course it's okay. If you have any questions, you can contact me directly. As a friend, I will definitely help."
"Thank you, actually I have a pretty good publicity suggestion, which may be of some help to the box office of the burial alive."
"Oh, what's the way?"
"Put a coffin at the entrance of the theater. Don't be too big. Just hold a coffin that accommodates a person, and then let the movie fans lie in and feel it. It is best to have sound insulation after making it.
In a closed and extremely quiet space, people are most likely to be afraid. There has been an experiment you may have heard of.
Put a person into a closed space without a trace of light inside, and then turn on the faucet and drip water constantly."
"Oh, I know this, I was scared to death in the end, right? Justin, your suggestion is amazing! I think Jon will jump up happily when he hears this suggestion." Tom Thorenberg said with a smile.
As the release of Alive is getting closer, the original anti-war wave has gradually eased under the comfort of the government after nearly ten days, which made Jon Filtimel a little worried.
I am worried that the decline of the anti-war wave will affect the box office of the living, but seeing the box office performance of "Hulk" is far worse than expected, "Charlie's Angels 3" is not as crazy as I imagined, and "Final Nemo", "Fast God", and "Fast and Furious 2" are all coming to an end, and I feel a little better.
Warner Bros. Distribution Manager Dan Fehrman was in a good mood. In his opinion, the influence of the anti-war wave has faded, which is the arrival of the doomsday of "Buried Alive".
Warner Bros. "Terminator 3" has 3,504 theaters in North America, with a cost of up to US$240 million.
MGM's "Lawyer 2" has 3,350 theaters in North America, with a cost of US$50 million.
DreamWorks "The Legend of Seven Seas of Sinbad", 3,086 theaters in North America, costing US$60 million.
Lions Gate's "Buried Alive" has 2,024 theaters in North America, with a cost of only US$14,000, plus the total promotional cost does not exceed US$500,000.
