Chapter 886 886 Hot reaction
The forced winning of the New York Post pushed the premiere of "Speed of Life and Death" to a new peak. Although it was a farce, it is undeniable that the inherent disadvantage of "Speed of Life and Death" and the embarrassment caused by the media ban were instantly compensated, and it immediately became the most popular work in the United States since the summer vacation in 1994.
The so-called media ban was quietly ignored by everyone in the hot box office gambling craze. Just like the previous few times, the media had not had time to spread the ban, but slapped himself because of Hugo's strength. This time it was like lightning. The "speed of life and death" only used the glory of the premiere, which made the uncrowned kings clamp their tails in shame.
Now, facing the strength of "life and death speed", the media will not reveal their scars. Now they only hope that everyone will focus on the "New York Post" and hold the idea of "dead fellow practitioners will not die", and push the "New York Post" wholeheartedly onto the crater where the magma erupts.
Hugo knew that he could not refuse to respond. Although he hated this farce the most because it was clearly self-hype. It seemed very tragic not to read the "New York Post", but thanks to this farce, even if the "New York Post" was condemned, cursed, and despised by his peers, their newspaper sales were indeed soaring. This is what the news media is interesting and the beauty of hype.
The quality of reputation does not matter, what is important is that readers like these farces.
So, Hugo was interviewed by the Los Angeles Times and responded, "Do you know how to spell 'sorry'? I hope the uncrowned king will not think that he can play with public opinion in his hands, so he will be above the law."
When Nicholas heard Hugo's answer, he was actually a little gloating. Although he was also one of the uncrowned kings, Hugo's words seemed to have knocked everyone over, Nicholas was definitely Hugo's counterattack was too dark and too powerful.
Although Hugo only said two sentences, the first sentence was to satirize the "New York Post" as the person who claimed to be aloof and arrogant; the second sentence was to satirize the "New York Post" to make trouble, be self-righteous, and even more satirize the so-called "ban" of many uncrowned kings. It can be clearly felt that Hugo was very dissatisfied with the "New York Post" and sarcastically went on the battlefield. This move was even more sinister than pointing at Colin Meller's nose, making Colin have no idea to refute it. As long as he refuted it, it would be equivalent to wrapping himself in.
It didn't take long for the witch to judge the matter to disappear.
After the brewing and fermentation of major media, even if the box office gambling of "life and death speed" was truly decided, this incident became the most eye-catching focus of the United States almost overnight: the box office of a movie maintains the dignity between one of the strongest actors today and the top ten newspapers in the country, which is really exciting.
Every media is discussing who will win this bet, and every reader who cares about Hollywood is discussing the box office of "life and death speed". The atmosphere was generally not optimistic before the movie was released, but after the audience's crazy reaction after the premiere, everyone was a little uncertain.
If "box office failure" prevails before it was released, then now it is at least 50% vs 50%. Some people think that the box office of "life and death speed" will still be a crushing defeat. There are too many movies that are not popular, not to mention that a commercial movie requires so many viewers to praise it, and it is not to hit the Oscars; some people think that "life and death speed" will rely on Hugo's strong appeal and the excellent reputation of the movie to achieve this impossible reversal task and exceed 100 million US dollars in box office.
In short, the discussion about "speed of life and death" was filled with eyes in an instant.
On this night, three movies held their premiere, including two extremely grand premiere. However, on the next day, the front page headlines of major newspapers and magazines seemed to have been agreed upon, and the news of "life and death speed" was high, and the sensational premiere was reported from surprise, excitement, and surprise. At the end of the news, the premiere of "The Rural Conquer New York" and "The Mobilization of the Heavenly Soldiers" was mentioned in concise language.
This is obviously very unfair for the two movies. "The Rural Conquer New York" was in China. The Chinese Theater mobilized more than 800 fans to cheer on the spot, and the premiere of "The Mobilization of the Heavenly Soldiers" was a powerful call to more than 60 reporters to report on the spot, but as a result, all the limelight was stolen by the "speed of life and death"!
Although Universal Pictures and Disney have a large number of good media, at least in this regard, will definitely not be inferior to Twentieth Century Fox, the media is the media after all. Those media that were invited by Universal Pictures and Disney to write news will definitely write about the premiere of "The Rural Conquer New York" and "The Soldiers" , but their main focus is on "Speed of Life and Death": news that can make them sell newspapers is good news, and friends who can make them profit are good friends.
There are so many explosive points in the premiere of "Speed of Life and Death". Just clicking on the five-minute applause at the end of the movie screening is enough to be shocking. This can become a news that major newspapers are competing to report, let alone the support on the premiere red carpet, the hustle and bustle after the premiere, and the movie itself. Therefore, it is not difficult to choose between the premiere of the three movies.
The next day, "The Rural Conquer New York" issued a total of 17 press releases, and 18 related news appeared in "The General Mobilization of the Heavenly Soldiers", but there were 36 news reports on "Speed of Life and Death", and even 18 of them were front pages or entertainment page headlines. This gap is really a world of difference.
Not to mention, there are more than fifty reports on the box office gambling game "Speed of Life and Death" and it can be said that it is almost everywhere.
Where did the ban of the Uncrowned King go?
This is really an interesting scene. The "Sky Warrior Mobilization" that everyone is sought after was ignored. The "landscape conquest of New York" led by Lang Meyer is like a wisp of blue smoke. The "life and death speed" that everyone ignores, despises, despises and even bans has emerged, and eventually becomes the biggest winner after the premiere that night.
The Chicago Tribune, which has been making a lot of sensation in the past six months, joked about this, "At this time, I think the crew of the 'Wolf' should have been in a cold sweat."
Originally, "Wolf" was bullied by "life and death speed" and was able to fight head-on in advance. As a result, 20th Century Fox lacked confidence and adjusted the schedule. As a result, "The Rural Conquer New York" and "The Mobilization of the Heavenly Soldiers" unfortunately became victims of the "life and death speed" premiere, and "Wolf" escaped, and Columbia Pictures breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, Columbia Pictures, which has had many happy cooperations with Hugo in recent years, has experienced the value of Hugo as an actor in another way, which really surprised them.
The premiere of "Speed of Life and Death" was the first to show its power in major newspapers and magazines, allowing reporters to slap themselves in the face, becoming the most topical work since the opening of this summer. But this was just the beginning. The first batch of comments on the movies that appeared one after another pushed this craze to a whole new level.
Obviously, the film critics are consistent with the audience's opinions this time: they are also very satisfied with the "speed of life and death"!
This seems not good news for the New York Post, because immediately after the audience, the critics fell. These signs after another seem to imply one thing: the box office of "life and death speed" has the possibility of a big boom! Now the New York Post no longer talks about "passing the cost line". They just prayed silently that the final box office of the movie is 70 million or 80 million, and even if it is profitable, it doesn't matter. As long as it is not 100 million US dollars, as long as it does not cross the 100 million threshold, it is the perfect result.
The first film review to appear in front of the audience this time is not the Los Angeles Times, but the San Francisco Chronicle, their biggest competitor on the West Coast.
"Classic!" At the beginning of the film review, the "San Francisco Chronicle" summarized the entire movie with such a concise and powerful comment. "The entire 115-minute viewing process was thrilling and completed in one go!
Lancaster plays the perfect policeman. His image is charming, heroic, smart, handsome, charming, calm and dedicated. He is obviously a lone hero but not alone. The creation of the entire hero image is real and credible, flesh and blood, as if he is an agile agent living in the Los Angeles Police Department. The movie brings Lancaster's tough and sunny and bold and powerful charm to the extreme!
The plot of the movie is compact and exquisite, and the style is like flowing. It breaks the inherent pattern of action movies and returns to the traditional retro style. The pattern is old-fashioned but not vulgar. While innovative, it insists on its own style. It is tense and exciting. The main line is clear and clear, the branch line is full but not cumbersome. The three-part story structure is perfectly used. In addition to the slightly weak villain, the whole movie is impeccable as an action movie!”
The short and powerful comments of the San Francisco Chronicle are undoubtedly the best praise for "life and death speed". The final 90-minute evaluation is particularly rare for a popcorn action movie. From their comments, it can be seen that this movie satisfies all people's expectations for action movies.
Not only the "San Francisco Chronicle", but other media were also very excited and all expressed their views on the "Speed of Life and Death" as soon as possible. What's more interesting is that only more than 30 media entered the Los Angeles Theater on the day of the "Speed of Life and Death" premiere, which means that other media have no choice but to write film reviews. They can only endure it until the weekend to wait for the full release. But even so, the media are unwilling to miss this feast, and they report on the premiere and report on the audience's reactions, and participate in the wave of "Speed of Life and Death" in this way.
This huge momentum is no less than the "Terminator 2" that caused a sensation two years ago. Even the 20th Century Fox itself did not expect it. At least from the momentum, the "Speed of Life and Death" should not be too weak than the "Real Lies" released in the future. This is another good thing. For the crew of "Speed of Life and Death", and the "New York Post" is already scared.
