History is always so stunningly similar.

No one can forget that summer two years ago. At that time, Hugo had just won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, Little Golden Man, and everyone was paying attention to the magical Little Golden Man curse, curious about what achievements Hugo's next work would achieve. "Life and Death Speed" appeared at this sensitive time. The news media led by the "New York Post" were not optimistic about the prospects of this work, and even started a shocking bet. What was the result? Everyone knew: "Life and Death Speed" earned 239 million US dollars in North America by sweeping thousands of troops.

Back in the summer of 1996, Hugo had just won his first Oscar for Best Actor Little Golden Man. The "Little Golden Man Curse" once again became a tight spell that was confined to Hugo's head. In the past few months, there has been no news about Hugo's new work. "Independence Day" appeared by chance at this time. This time, it seems different from the "speed of life and death", but it is almost exactly the same.

The news media led by the New York Post did not foolishly start the gambling again, but it is undeniable that the box office trend of Independence Day still attracted many attention, even more attractive than the gambling two years ago, because the box office of Independence Day involves the "20 million club", a commercial film represented by computer special effects, a success rate of high investment and high returns, and a debate issue that has lasted for nearly three years in Hollywood. This is the focus of close attention of the entire film industry.

"Speed ​​of Life and Death" became the most eye-catching commercial movie of that year as a dark horse; "Independence Day" cannot be regarded as a dark horse because it has been a topic from beginning to end, and there is also a lack of media that is optimistic about its historical records like the "Chicago Tribune", but can the final answer given by "Independence Day" be comparable to "Speed ​​of Life and Death"?

At least in terms of cost, "Independence Day" has no advantage over "life and death speed"; but judging from the audience's reaction after the premiere, there are too many similarities between the two.

"God, did you see the scene of the explosion at the end? It was as if the whole sky was exploding, and all the stars poured down like waterfalls. It was really spectacular!"

"Don't you think it's very romantic? I feel like I'm going to melt when I see that picture!"

"My favorite scenes when an alien spacecraft just arrived on Earth..."

"Hey! Hey! The scene of bombing the White House is so handsome! With a bang, the White House was blown to pieces. That was really incredible!"

"Yes, the White House was blown up directly. I'm curious about how Clinton would feel when he saw the movie, hahahaha..."

The discussion at the entrance of the Chinese Theater was extremely noisy. Sophie Bonne, the host of Fox TV entertainment news program, directed the camera to meet the crowd. In fact, there were many paper media reporters standing at the entrance of the theater. After all, the number of reporters who could enter the premiere was limited, so many reporters stayed in the outfield and planned to interview the crew and guests as soon as possible. However, the TV media was only Fox TV.

It is not because Fox TV and Twentieth Century Fox are affiliated with a parent company, but because after Fox TV was established, they started their business with a news channel. Their news acumen is far higher than their competitors, which is also the cornerstone of their fame.

The huge publicity before the release of "Independence Day" attracted the attention of Fox TV early on. They recalled the North American support method when the "Speed ​​of Life and Death" premiere, and believed that today's premiere would definitely make a big deal, so they sent a helicopter to shoot over the sky in the afternoon, and they really gained a lot. Now that the premiere of the movie has ended, they took the cameraman to interview the audience on the spot, and immediately understood the true face of the movie "Independence Day" from the audience's perspective.

It has to be said that Fox TV's choice is very bold. Because in the media's opinion, no one cares about the views of ordinary audiences. They all target their interview members or invited guests. Of course, it would be even more perfect if they could interview Hugo.

Therefore, Fox TV's actions did not arouse too much concern from other colleagues, and everyone rushed towards the target group.

"Hello, can you take up some time?" Sophie casually stopped a group of young people in front of her and asked loudly. The noise around her forced her to raise her voice and shout and ask.

The four young men stopped, with excited smiles on their faces, and nodded repeatedly, "Of course."

Sophie pointed the microphone at the respondents, "You just watched Independence Day. What do you think of this movie?"

"Excellent, so wonderful! God, the picture is simply too spectacular, every battle is extremely spectacular! This can be said to be a movie scene that I have never seen before. If Star Wars also filmed like this, I feel that I will have a heart numbness in the cinema. I probably will be so excited that I can't sleep anymore tonight, I don't want to sleep anymore! Wow, wow! Unparalleled! Unparalleled! He, mom, unparalleled!"...

The young people in front of them rushed to express their opinions with each word and said, expressing their inner joy with their whole bodies. Even Sophie couldn't help but smile and wanted to jump with them.

After Sophie's interview was completed, four young people stood shoulder to shoulder and began to learn howl beside them, "Aowu, Aowu!" The turbulent emotions in their hearts were vented with great thrillingness, which also inspired Sophie. After all, no one was sure whether interviewing ordinary audiences was the right choice.

Sophie then interviewed a couple, and the man seemed very calm compared to others. "Although the story did not meet my expectations, the story still seemed too simple, but it was indeed a good movie and worth watching in the cinema. However, for such a movie, you have to come to the cinema to feel its charm, and the home video will lose its color."

The lady standing next to her also nodded, "To be honest, I agree with his point of view, but I still like this movie very much. In addition to Hugo's role being too weak, overall, the movie was enjoyable for more than two hours, and I am in a relaxed mood now."

"So, are you a Hugo fan?" Sophie couldn't help asking.

The lady laughed, "I won't say that, but Hugo is indeed the reason for us to watch this movie." The man standing by added, "It was because of her request that I came here three days in advance to rush to buy tickets for the premiere movie." This made the lady laugh shyly, "But Hugo's role in the movie was still weakened, which is a pity. But the interaction between Hugo and Alexander, Leonardo and Sandra was still very interesting."

When Sophie handed over the microphone to a middle-aged man in his fifties, his expression didn't seem to be fully awake. "Well, from the story, it would definitely not be able to satisfy too many people's expectations, but... But, wow, such a picture is indeed unprecedented, and the entire viewing process is full of surprises. I won't say that I like this movie, but I must admit that it would be a big regret if I missed this movie." Speaking of this, the man seemed to finally wake up and laughed, "This movie represents the dreams of many people when they were young. I think, maybe I know why Hugo was willing to take this movie." After that, the man also showed a smile of "You know, I know" and left calmly.

"I like, I like, I like!" This is the answer from a mother about 35 years old, who was still holding her daughter in her hand. "I thought I wouldn't like this subject, but because of Hugo, I still chose to watch it. But, I didn't expect that I liked it very much. This is really a wonderful movie."

Then Sophie saw a boy about twenty years old jumping constantly, almost unable to suppress his inner excitement. After Sophie went over to interview, she did not get a clear answer. She just listened to the boy jumping while shouting intermittently, "Incredible...magical...wonderful...thrilling...thrilling, so exciting...God! God! God!"

Sophie hesitated for a moment and had to take back the microphone in his hand and add, "From this state, he probably has no plans to sleep tonight."

Sophie's interviews covered a wide range of subjects, including men and women, representatives of all ages, and representatives of different classes of costumes. After interviewing more than 30 viewers, Sophie discovered a phenomenon: Perhaps "Independence Day" is imperfect, and many people have put forward different opinions on the movie, but the same is that almost everyone thinks this movie is worth watching. This is very rare.

You should know that it is not easy to judge whether a movie is worth watching, but whether a movie is worth watching is even more difficult to judge. But now, everyone thinks that "Independence Day" is worth going to the cinema and is worth the price. Regardless of whether the person involved likes it, it is indeed worth watching. This is undoubtedly an extremely important information. Even the "speed of life and death" was not able to get such a review at the beginning. From this perspective, we can see the excellence and shock of the visual effects of "Independence Day" in 1996. This is the first time to create the world!

What's more, almost everyone can see the excitement and excitement that has not yet disappeared, clearly showing that this is a movie that is enough to make people excited. For most people, this is enough to attract them to enter the cinema.

"If I were asked to summarize the interview's feelings in one sentence, then I would choose the word "incomparable". What kind of movie was it that made so many different audiences come to similar conclusions? This triggered my strong curiosity, and maybe I should go to the cinema myself and watch the movie."
