Chapter 1891: 1891

It is hard to imagine that there is a work that can be praised so much in all aspects, and there are very few works that can be treated in film history. "Godfather" is undoubtedly a classic among classics. Now people even compare "Los Angeles City Secret" with "Godfather", which shows people's praise for this work. = Download novel (s.)

All media welcomed cheers, and the media comprehensive review of the movie was scored 93 with a high score, which made "Los Angeles Secret" a third work with a media comprehensive review of more than 90 after "Schindler's List" and "Pulp Novels". This is an incredible result, which once again proves Hugo's outstanding work selection ability. You must know that some actors cannot star in a work with a media comprehensive review of more than 90 in their entire lives, because picky and harsh film critics are always the most difficult to please the group of people to criticize. But now, Hugo has three, a total of three!

The media's fanaticism has become a special phenomenon. It seems that no matter how high people's expectations are, Hugo's works can always satisfy these expectations, and even break these expectations. The release of each movie will become a luxurious party that the media lamented, which has almost become a law. This time, "Los Angeles Secret" once again occupied the throne of the first place in 1997's excellent works!

Everyone knows that "Schindler's List" and "Pulp Fiction" have created a box office miracle among the media's praise. So what about "Los Angeles Secret"? Is it really a way to become the perfect combination of commercial and artistic films as the Los Angeles Times said?

On September 19, the number of "Los Angeles Secret" officially landed in 2,500 theaters across the United States is the same as the "Seven Deadly Sins". Fanatic fans flocked to the cinemas to personally appreciate the style of this widely praised work. The film market across the United States has reached an unimaginable prosperity, and even makes people suspect that it is still midsummer. After the audience left the stage, they were investigated one after another. The subsequent theater scores proved a fact: Hugo is still the audience's favorite.

The theater score of "a" is almost an insurmountable peak for a thriller, suspense, and crime drama movie. When the theater score of "Seven Deadly Sins" got "b+" and it caused a burst of exclamation. Now "Los Angeles Secret" has taken a step closer and has achieved a reputation that cannot be copied at all, making everyone shout "incredible".

But this is Hugo's appeal, a powerful appeal that is unique worldwide today.

Such scores not only come from the outstanding work itself, but also from the audience's trust and praise for Hugo. It seems that today's film market has developed an inertial idea: when you don't know which movie to choose to watch, you choose the works that Hugo starred in.

This idea is even stronger than "Hugo's production must be a masterpiece", because it means that Hugo has been ahead of all other actors and directors and has become the first criterion for audiences to choose their works. This is not only a affirmation, but also a sought after and an identity, which penetrates into the bone marrow of North American audiences and becomes a fixed concept.

This is why Hugo deserves the word "unique".

When people saw the high score of the media's 93rd comprehensive review, people nodded, "Normal, as expected"; but when people saw the high score of the theater's score "a", people were shocked, "What... should I do?"

Especially for the direct competitors of "Los Angeles City Secret", this is very bad news.

As the most deserted film schedule in the year, September has always been ignored, but thanks to the popularity of the "Seven Deadly Sins", people have discovered the strong potential of September, especially for thriller and suspense movies. It is undoubtedly a discovery of a new world that makes film companies big and small happy, especially small and medium-sized production companies. Because they often do not have the ability to compete in the summer season, they can win more living space when they discover the potential of the new season.

This is the case in September this year. It can almost be said that small and medium-sized production companies are gathering together, with two to three new movies released on average every week. If the screening of large production companies is added, the entire film market will show unprecedented prosperity, continuing the heat of the summer season.

In the third week of September, among the newly released movies this week, there were actually three movies screenings with more than 2,000 theaters, which shows the fierce competition.

**The fantasy horror movie "Wishmaster" produced by production company Pierre.david is undoubtedly the most ambitious work this week. It invests $50 million, and is the most expensive work among the top works in September, even higher than the 40 million "Los Angeles Secret". Moreover, the distribution work of "Devil's Roar" was handed over to three medium-sized distribution companies to join forces, and it was released in a total of 2,800 theaters across the United States. The popularity is enough to be comparable to the summer season.

It can be seen that even though the release schedule of "Los Angeles City Secret" was confirmed early, "Devil's Roar" was still not afraid. The ambition they showed was to compete with "Los Angeles City Secret" with a dignified duel. The move of "Devil's Roar" was appreciated by many people.

Hugo Lancaster, the name Hugo Lancaster, has almost become a worshipful existence in Hollywood. As long as he participates in the works, even literary and artistic films like "Before Sunrise" and "Death Prison Walk" are irresistible to the audience. Therefore, in the box office market, almost no one dares to challenge Hugo's dominance, and even lacks the courage to issue a challenge book.

But now, "Devil Roar" is almost in a tragic attitude to fight "Los Angeles Secret". What's more interesting is that from production costs to theaters, from early publicity to premiere, this movie has shown courage and domineering far beyond "Los Angeles Secret". Such a warrior has been missing for a long time.

No matter what the "Devil Roar" achieves in the end, this courage is worthy of praise. As for whether it is brave or reckless, the cold box office numbers will give an answer.

In addition, Paramount's comedy movie "In&out" will also be released in 2,100 theaters. The total investment of this comedy movie is 35 million US dollars, which is incredible for this type of work, and it is without big-name actors. However, the famous producer Scott Rudin is the driving force behind this work, which is enough to make Paramount confident in it.

In addition, the "Los Angeles City Secret" selected to be released in theaters in 2,500 theaters, the competition among these three movies has sparked countless discussions long before its premiere.

In the eyes of many media, although the courage of "Devil Roar" is commendable, it is still difficult to snatch this week's weekend box office champion from "Los Angeles City Secret". The biggest question is: How many viewers can be diverted from the two works of different themes, "Devil Roar" and "The Groom's Bluff", and have a negative impact on the box office record of "Los Angeles City Secret" that impacts the "Seven Deadly Sins"?

However, after the first batch of comments were released, everyone realized the fact that "Los Angeles Secret" was far more powerful than imagined, especially Hugo's attraction to the audience, which is an unknown factor that can never be predicted.

"Devil Roar" is not good at making a career. Although horror movies are not easy to please critics, the media comprehensive review of 45 points is still a bad news. Although the audience's reaction is relatively good, the "C+" score can only be considered barely passing; but "The groom's mistaken bend" unexpectedly won the media's praise. The media comprehensive review of 70 is undoubtedly the best news for a comedy movie.

Although the two movies "Devil Roar" and "Groom's Dogs" obviously cannot form a direct confrontation with "Los Angeles City Secret", people are still curious about this weekend's box office. After all, in the off-season in September, do people have to choose a movie with complex plot and heavy thoughts to watch? Or should they choose a simple and crude horror movie or a relaxed and pleasant comedy movie? This is a difficult problem, and the audience's mentality is even more difficult to figure out.

It is worth mentioning that the "Psychological Game" directed by David Finch was released last week. This work invited two actors of the best actor level, Michael Douglas and Sean Penn. Unfortunately, this work failed to replicate the glory of "Seven Deadly Sins" two years ago. It only achieved a first-week weekend box office of 14 million US dollars. Of course, this is already a good result for the September schedule.

Now, "psychological game" has also joined the box office battle. Its decline in the next week depends on the performance of "Los Angeles City Secret". This is not the collision of the showdown, which has attracted a lot of discussion and is very interesting. However, for "Los Angeles City Secret", this is a foe. The competition is not only far more intense than when the "Seven Deadly Sins" was released, but it faces the bad situation of wolves feeding around; and the momentum of "Los Angeles City Secret" is not as good as the "Seven Deadly Sins" two years ago, and the topicality and popularity cannot be compared.

But even in this situation, "Los Angeles Secret" is still trying to break the shackles and create box office success.

The exhibition relations did not break the appointment because they knew how many people were concerned about the box office data of this week, so they immediately released the weekend box office data of the third week of September. When people saw the name "Los Angeles City Confidential" that was at the end, there was no surprise. The question was, what is the box office number on the right?

"'Los Angeles City Secret', the box office of a single museum is 132 million US dollars, and the box office of a weekend is 33 million US dollars."

It was such a simple set of numbers that made the whole of North America silent: everything was quiet, no one could make any sound
