"Night Visit to Vampire" posted a post to "Pugu Novel", or to be more precise, Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt posted a post to Hugo Lancaster.

But no matter which statement it is, the entire market is in full swing. Even if people know that movies that have been released around cannot compete with the movies released in the first week, they are still looking forward to such a result. Even if there is no way to confront each other, the two works can still fight each other from a distance. For example, using the premiere box office of "Night Visit to Vampire" to compare the premiere box office of "Pugu Novel", the box office competition at the same time seems much more fair.

At this moment, people seem to ignore the fact that "Pulp Novel" is an independent film that only invests 8 million US dollars, while "Night Visit Vampire" costs 60 million yuan and is still released in 2,600 theaters that are almost twice as good as "Pulp Novel".

Objectively speaking, this is a battle between heavyweight and lightweight. But people do not find it strange or abnormal at all, but are excited. From this aspect, we can see the powerful momentum that has been formed since the release of "Pulp Novels". Even works of "Night Visits to Vampires" must be careful.

Whether this is media hype or the audience's conversation after dinner, the confrontation has finally come, and "Night Visit to Vampire" will finally premiere!

The first round of showdown was the first to take the lead: media reputation.

After the release of "Night Visit to Vampire", it attracted extreme praise from the media. "USA Today", which has always been very strict with Hugo, praised this work and gave a full score of 100 points. This is the same evaluation as "Pulp novel", which also gives people a preliminary view of the camp choice of "USA Today". In addition, "Empire" magazine also praised it with 100 points.

The other extreme is the strong contempt from the Los Angeles Times and the U.S. Weekly. Just 40 evaluations almost completely criticize the work. This makes people have to make up for themselves and fantasize about the messages hidden behind this film review.

Relatively speaking, magazines such as the New York Times, the Chicago Sun, and the Rolling Stone all gave 75 points such neither high nor low scores, indicating their attitude.

In the end, the comprehensive review of the 19 media outlets was only fifty-nine, which was really a big difference compared to the 95 points of "Pulp Novel".

The second round of showdown comes immediately: actor evaluation.

The major media's evaluation of the actors Brad and Tom is quite interesting. The evaluations focused on Tom are mainly stunning. Almost all media said that they did not expect Tom's interpretation of the character to be so well-placed and so wonderful, which is the biggest highlight of the movie; the evaluations focused on Brad are mainly sexual and sense. Most media believe that Brad has put his appearance to the limit and perfectly demonstrated the pale and elegant, evil but kind vampire.

The media believes that the "Flower Beauty" of the two starring actors has indeed added a lot of color to the movie. However, the discussion about acting is a bit inferior. Tom worked very hard, but he was less spiritual in the end; Brad became a title of facial paralysis, and the general view is that he was unable to interpret the inner struggle and delicateness of the character, and the bad attitude is not a little bit.

Obviously, whether it is Tom or Brad, their talent and ability in acting skills are still quite far from Hugo at present. This can be fully felt from the audience, from film critics, from actors, from awards and other aspects.

The third round of the showdown was obviously the audience's evaluation.

The theater score of "Pulp Novels" is as high as "a+", which is obviously an impossible data to surpass, but "Night Visit Vampire" actually obtained feedback from "a", which is undoubtedly a comprehensive victory for a high-investment commercial film. In this link, the two sides were considered to be tied.

The fourth round of showdown can start with popularity.

The two male protagonists of "Night Visit to Vampire" have created a pale but charming vampire image, which has become popular all over the United States overnight. Brad is even stronger and is considered a new generation of sexual and sexy gods, enough to compete with Tom. At the same time, the chain reaction of vampire subculture triggered by this movie has also begun to emerge. It can be foreseen that although the score of this movie has not passed the reviewer's score, the audience is very willing to buy it, and it will inevitably produce a group of special fans.

As for "pulp novels", it set off a retro trend, both in clothing, restaurants, music, and dance, which caused a frenzy. More importantly, the shooting methods of filming have had an immeasurable influence on the entire film industry.

Therefore, the former increases the popularity of the actors, while the latter increases the popularity of the work. Overall, it is considered a draw.

The last round of showdown is naturally the top priority, box office.

Before the box office of the second week of November was released, although "Night Visit Vampire" fell behind in the media comprehensive review, it still caused huge waves based on the overall effect and still had a strife with "Pujiu Novels". Perhaps, "Night Visit Vampire" could not become a benchmark for history like "Pujiu Novels", but it could still occupy a place in 1994. Of course, subsequent history also proves this.

There is no doubt that the showdown between Tom, Hugo and Brad is not groundless. Even if there is a hype between media, it is still quickly accepted by the general public and immediately becomes the hottest topic of people after dinner. Choosing one of their favorites among these three top male actors has become the focus of everyone's enthusiasm: even if they are both men, they can choose the one they admire the most.

Such a follow-up effect is obviously far beyond the media's imagination. This not only makes the media very proud, but it shows the effectiveness of their work; it also surprises the media. This topic was originally just thought of for hype, but it was unexpectedly popular, which further strengthens their idea of ​​continuing to explore.

The most interesting thing is that Brad's "stunning remarks" at the premiere became the main firepower for the media to create explosive points. Journalists all thought that Brad would inevitably be attacked violently. Judging from Hugo's popularity in North America, Brad definitely suffered public anger. This is true. Whether it is Brad's performance in "Night Visit Vampire", or Brad's current qualifications and achievements, including the past when Brad lost several head-on battles with Hugo, they have become the focus of people's attacks.

But after seeing the news, Brad quickly responded the next day, Martin Baum made an indelible contribution as an agent. He not only clarified his remarks, but also apologized very friendly, and also praised Hugo affectionately.

Under the operation of Martin, these remarks spread quickly and immediately killed the rumors in the cradle. The most important thing is that Hugo was not in the United States at this time and he was still on vacation, so the reporter could not further intensify the topic. He could only watch Martin's crisis public relations make their efforts fail.

Therefore, the first wave of attacks against Brad was quickly calmed down. The reporters were not in a hurry, anyway, there were more opportunities in the future. Then everyone focused their attention on the box office.

"Night Visit to Vampire" was released in 2,600 theaters, and actually scored an incredible phenomenon of 34 million US dollars in premiere weekend box office with a box office of nearly 14,000 US dollars, easily setting a new record for the November premiere in North American film history.

Obviously, 1994 was a year when records were constantly refreshed, even the autumn period known as the useless one.

Although "Night Visit Vampire" invested 60 million US dollars and was extremely popular in publicity, it still surprised people to achieve such an excellent premiere box office. Compared with the $16.8 million US dollars obtained at the premiere of "Pulp Novel", it is definitely not inferior.

In terms of data alone, "night visits to vampires" are naturally better, and the box office of a single museum actually exceeded the 12,000 US dollars of "Pu Li Novel", which is incredible; but objectively analyzed, the subject matter, cost, cast, publicity and other aspects of the two can be said to be comparable.

This really stimulated adrenaline for countless viewers. All the audience couldn't help but become even more excited. The confrontation between these two movies of different levels was really formed! Moreover, the "Night Visit Vampire" with the advantage did not gain much advantage, and the "Pulp novel" that has been in full swing recently has not been able to defeat the opponent, which made the audience excited.

So, in the second week of November when "Night Visit Vampire" crushed the box office of 34 million US dollars, what achievements did "Pulp Novel" create at the same time?

"Pulp Novels" responded with an incredible drop of 15%: Even if "night visit to vampires" are against the will of heaven or strong, I can still deal with it easily!

The 15% box office decline finally achieved a weekend box office data of 8.3 million US dollars, which further increased the cumulative box office of "Pulp Novels" to 79 million US dollars, and the 100 million box office was already waved not far away. The "Pulp Novels" that came to the fifth week of the show directly confronted the fierce "night visit to vampires" that premiered, and it was absolutely not inferior. This is the style of a strong man that people lament. This naturally made the competition between the two works more fiercely and exciting.

The battle between "Night Visits to Vampire" and "Pulp Novels" can definitely be regarded as wonderful, making everyone enjoy watching it. This has also become the biggest highlight of the idiot autumn season, which is a situation that no film company has expected.
Chapter completed!
