"Thor" is not the only one that creates publicity topics. The premiere of "City of Chaos" is no exception. Kara Firth woke up early in the morning and first sent a text message to Murphy, agreeing to have lunch together at noon, and then posted on the Internet Look around on social networking sites to check the actual audience reaction of "City of Chaos", as well as the trend of public opinion on the itinerary on the Internet, and of course pay attention to the word-of-mouth situation of the competitor "Thor".

Kara Firth first opened IMDB, and the just-released "Thor" and "City of Chaos" were on the homepage. She ignored "Thor" and clicked on the webpage of "City of Chaos", with high scores!

Pulling down the webpage, a user named Daisy's movie review was topped, and the newly added like function of IMDB has nearly 10,000 likes.

"In some respects, the hero Chris Dann portrayed by Murphy in "City of Chaos" is somewhat similar to superheroes. They are all doing actions to save the city, but superheroes are more great and Dehumanized, they are sublime and completely divorced from humanity, and they are born to save the city and the earth, while Chris Dann is more like an ordinary person, he has neither the ability to surpass humans, nor the character to transcend humans, to save New York completely It is from a personal standpoint, in order to complete revenge!"

"It is this completely personal process that makes Chris Dann gradually awaken the consciousness of a hero, but his protection is completely different from that of a superhero. Superheroes bring people hope, and Chris Dann brings hope. but only fear!"

"Embodying fear can overcome fear, embodying fear can bring strength, and Murphy's film explores fear and its impact in a unique way that Hollywood films have never done before! From this alone On the one hand, "City of Chaos" is great, enough to engrave film history!"

"In the past Hollywood movies, all heroic protagonists always have a large number of admirers and supporters. But the fact is that the real heroes are always lonely, not just because of their superior ability, which makes them eligible to stand by his side There are not many people, and it is also because, for such abilities, he has to give up many things that ordinary humans have, including emotions, including the energy to deal with the world. From a more realistic point of view, he is just like Chris Dann. "

"I always think that Murphy Stanton is a very realistic idealist. The idealism he upholds is not the same as childlike innocence. Childlike innocence still maintains a natural and pure disposition because it has not been polished by reality, while idealism People who know how complicated the world constructed by social rules is, and there is darkness behind the light, just like "City of Chaos", although the society is dark and oppressive, human nature is inherently easy to deflect to the evil and selfish side, but ink Fei never believed that society only has a dark side, he gave Chris Dann hope and the courage to overcome fear, so he is saying that for those who have courage, society is not only dark!"

"If you think there is only darkness in this society, and you can only see darkness in Murphy Stanton's films, it is because you are broken by society like a steel bar, and then you compromise."

"Complicated is a neutral word, because a realistic idealist will see the darkness of this society, but this will not crowd out the beauty of this society he knows, and beauty and darkness together build the complexity of this society."

"Darkness always coexists with beauty. This is "City of Chaos", and this is also our social reality."

After reading this fan's comment, Kara Firth only feels that Murphy is really great, he is simply the most philosophical and thoughtful director in Hollywood.

It's a pity that in this world, apart from Gal Gadot, there is probably no one else who knows Murphy better than her. Her best friend may have considered a small part of it, but she will definitely not interpret it like this fan like that.

Murphy gave the film a deeper connotation, not for the purpose of discussing fear and reflecting social reality, just because it can attract movie fans,

To improve the film and his directorial...

How do you say that? By the way, it's called style!

However, unlike what Kara Firth thought, the tone of the fan named Daisy seemed to be a reflection of the thoughts of many fans, and she saw a similar tone in the comment with the second most likes.

""City of Chaos" is a true story, about the choice between light and darkness, about the fear behind the hero. The real world is that each individual is as complex and diverse as society itself, not like fluorescent lights converging on the hero. , showing only their beauty."

"The real world is that almost no one is free from shackles all their lives, and not everyone can despise their bottom line all their lives. That is your weakest part and your source of strength. A real hero is not without fear, because Be fearful and go forward bravely!"

"Murphy Stanton uses film art to bring us a wonderful real world!"

Afterwards, Kara Firth clicked on the "Thor" section again, and couldn't help but smile slightly at the score. This is still a score given by comic fans. Afterwards, the number of passers-by who saw the film increased, and I am afraid that it will soon drop below 7 points. .

The top two comments, which seem to be posted by Marvel Comics fans themselves, seem a bit disappointed with the film.

"The film is below expectations, more like a biography that is being launched for the Avengers. There are no bright spots in the fighting, and the plot is even weaker. The only thing that impresses me most is the special effects and film settings when watching the film. The audience can be fascinated Outside the sky, I got an exciting and exciting movie-watching experience. It seems that all the staff focused on how to express Tiangong. The performance of the actors was a disaster. Chris Hemsworth only showed hand-to-hand eyeballs, and Natalie Bo Terman successfully turned into a middle-aged woman, coupled with clichéd plots and boring fights, he finished the story well without any impression, so I will leave the rest to the Avengers..."

This user only gave the film a score of 6, which just passed, while the comment ranked second below gave it a score of 5.

"The plot is really not nutritious. Not only can it not withstand scrutiny, but it also complicates simple things. The transformation of the character's personality that could have been very delicate is also completed in a simple and rough scene. It’s too procrastinating, the climax is chaotic, the scene between God and the world is too inconsistent, and the accents are so confusing.”

Kara Firth turned off IMDB, opened Rotten Tomatoes and took a look. The difference on this website was even more obvious. The freshness of Rotten Tomatoes in "City of Chaos" was 84%, and the freshness of "Thor" was 60%. three,……

Later, she logged on to Facebook, and the section about movies was equally lively.

While waiting for the web page to be refreshed, Kara Firth briefly analyzed the current audience response of "City of Chaos" and "Thor". Insufficient stamina.

The Facebook page was refreshed, and Kara Firth flipped through it for a while. In the case of basically not using the Internet trolls, just like IMDB, there are still a lot of praises for "City of Chaos" on social networking sites.

"Murphy Stanton perfectly interprets how a person should grow and how to make himself truly strong with "City of Chaos": overcome inner fear, exercise himself, stick to the moral bottom line and unparalleled self-control. Chris -Dan is a shadow of each of us, that's why he's so charming."

Compared with "City of Chaos", there are also many voices discussing "Thor" on Facebook, but few people think that this is a very exciting movie.

"The story of "Thor" is pale and asymmetrical with the scene."

"The movie isn't very interesting because the narrative gets a little out of hand."

"As a fan of comics, I was quite disappointed after watching the movie."

"The plot is too mentally handicapped, and the scenes and fights all have a sense of slapstick. In addition, the characterization of the characters is too facial. It is a very ordinary movie."

After reading these, Kara Firth is very clear that maybe he can do something in terms of word of mouth and pull down the hind legs of "Thor".

Since most Hollywood companies and North American theater companies seldom adopt the exclusive screening mode, the number of screening theaters for "Thor" and "City of Chaos" has reached 4,000, and there are overlaps in quite a few films. show.

In this way, there will be a direct conflict between the two films in terms of filming. Currently, the filming rates of "Thor" and "City of Chaos" are both around 30%. Weakness, the theater will definitely reduce the screening rate, so that the screening rate of another film will be increased to an appropriate degree.

Twentieth Century Fox has an advantage over Walt Disney in theaters, and is fully able to secure a higher film schedule based on this.

Although the audience's choice of buying tickets is not either you or me, but at the beginning of this summer, audiences who like blockbuster movies will inevitably increase the possibility of choosing "City of Chaos" if they are influenced by word-of-mouth.

After so many years in the management of Twentieth Century Fox, Kara Firth has become a veteran in this area.

Looking at the time, Kara Firth turned off the computer, walked out of the room, took the elevator to the restaurant on the second floor of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, sat down at the reserved seat, and waited patiently for Murphy and Gal Gadot come over.

Since it was still early, she asked for a glass of water and continued to think while drinking.

When Murphy comes later, you can also ask him his views on this aspect. This guy often has mediocre practical skills, but he can come up with many constructive opinions.
