Is the movie "Pearl Harbor" really worthless?

Although it is bloody, it is definitely not useless, and there are still many desirable places.

For example: the explosion scene of the film!

To create the most spectacular and thrilling air raid scene, director Michael Bay and special effects coordinator John Fraser used 700 sticks of explosives, 2,000 feet of detonating cord and 4,000 gallons of gasoline to detonate six warships. For safety reasons, Fraser prepared thousands of fire hoses and fire extinguishers at the filming site to prevent the fire from getting out of control, and all crew members involved in the filming were required to wear gas masks.

Director Michael Bay carefully placed 12 widescreen cameras!

One of them was shot by him himself!

This courage alone is enough to impress many directors.

Although he is very arrogant and arrogant, it has to be said that he is indeed brave enough.

This blasting scene was constructed by 30 stuntmen, nearly 100 extras, 9 planes, a camera boat, and countless special effects technicians, all in one go in 7 seconds!

At the same time, all the plans that were carried out did not go wrong!

The most important thing is that for this scene, the entire crew has been preparing for 7 months.

The meticulously polished craftsmanship is worthy of recognition by all filmmakers.

To put it mildly, for this 7-second blasting scene, there are absolutely few directors in the entire Hollywood field who can complete the shooting, and director Michael Bay is undoubtedly the king of the kings.

Michael Bay's "Exploding Bay" is not a false name.

The blasting special effects of the film "Pearl Harbor" are undoubtedly the perfect embodiment of Hollywood's industrial standards.

However......

Even so, it cannot hide the flaws of the film.

After the first screening of the film, many film critics wrote articles in the media and newspapers.

The New York Post said: "After 40 minutes of spectacular explosions,

It's hours of predictable and banal romance. "

The Wall Street Journal wrote: "Pearl Harbor's comic book-like depthless, loose story turns World War II into a stupid symphony chapter."

"Washington Post" issued an article: "The audience who enter the venue, please choose the seat next to the aisle, and definitely go to the toilet at least twice. Maybe this film should be called "Bolly, Bore, Bore."

The Chicago Sun-Times said: "The movie 'Pearl Harbor' is a boring, outdated love story that doesn't even deal with the war scenes in depth, with more than half an hour of planes blowing up ships, explosion scenes, corpses flying in the air, and people escaping The attack... was pointless, it was just a horrific carnage that didn't move or entertain the audience."

......

The film "Pearl Harbor", which has just been released, is facing a rhythm full of negative news.

As a producer and distributor, the Disney Group is... a little confused at the moment.

"Pure love is unreliable, so start early. War is a bird, it's better to engage in a triangle."

- From Rotten Tomatoes.

This is the top message of the movie "Pearl Harbor" on the Rotten Tomatoes website, and the number of likes is as high as 13,000.

13,000 people!

It's not long since the movie "Pearl Harbor" was released!

This is simply a beeping dog!

Robert Iger, CEO of Disney Pictures, a subsidiary of the Disney Group, had a bad premonition after reading this comment.

"David, come to my office immediately." Robert Iger called an internal company phone number immediately.

Soon.

Disney Pictures Distribution, um, David Anderson, the head of Bubba (Disney's distribution company), came here. Thousands of novels

"David, have you seen the negative news about the movie "Pearl Harbor" on Rotten Tomatoes?" Iger said in a heavy tone.

Hearing this, David nodded heavily and said, "Mr. Iger, I have seen it. Not only on Rotten Tomatoes, but also on Popcorn.com, but also on the New York Post, The Wall Street Journal, and the Chicago Sun Times. The entertainment section of major newspapers such as "Pearl Harbor" all reported negative news about our film "Pearl Harbor." Other entertainment tabloids even made more claims, and the situation was quite unfavorable for us."

Robert Iger's expression changed.

Obviously, the overall situation is much worse than he expected.

"David, is Wald Pictures' parent company, Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group, behind the scenes?" Robert Iger said suddenly.

"Uh.....?"

David was stunned for a few seconds, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "There is no evidence to prove this at present."

Suddenly, Robert Iger's face became even more ugly.

If the negative news of the whole incident was created by Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group, then he wouldn't be too worried. After all, what is fake is always fake. With Disney's media power, can it be easily reversed?

But!

Once the negative news of "Pearl Harbor" exploded, it did not come from Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group;

But it really comes from the spontaneous behavior of the majority of movie audiences, then... the situation is extremely serious!

Robert Iger got up from his seat and said with a stern face: "David, contact the Rotten Tomatoes website first and remove the negative comments from the top. Then, I don't care what method you use, you can find relevant information. Critics can turn word of mouth around, anyway, in three days, no, in a week, I don't want to see too much negative news about Pearl Harbor, you understand?"

"Yes, Mr. Egger!"

David nodded heavily, cold sweat dripping unconsciously.

The movie "Pearl Harbor" is undoubtedly a key project of the Disney Group this year. The production cost is as high as 140 million US dollars, and the publicity budget is as high as 100 million US dollars.

There are other costs of manpower, material resources, transportation, film copying, etc...

There is no doubt that the total investment in the "Pearl Harbor" project is as high as more than 250 million US dollars.

It cannot tolerate failure!

According to the proportion of North American theaters and overseas theaters, the global box office of the movie "Pearl Harbor" must exceed 500 million US dollars at least, and Disney can barely recover the cost.

"This is still based on the distributor of the film, and Disney itself. Otherwise, without the total box office of 650 million US dollars, it is absolutely difficult to recover the cost."

For a time, Disney Pictures CEO Robert Iger was full of thoughts and heavy hearts.

ding ding ding ~~~

Just then, the phone on the desk rang.

Caller: Michael Eisner!

He is currently the chairman of Disney and is known as the "Disney tyrant".

"Iger, please check it out for me. The negative news of "Pearl Harbor" appeared on a large scale. Is it the ghost of that guy Zucker Wald?!"

These were the first words Michael Eisner said after the call was connected.

He didn't believe Pearl Harbor would fail, and he couldn't accept its failure. You know, he is now facing the target of Roy Disney, a member of the Disney family, on the board of directors, and his chairmanship may be somewhat unstable.

Once the movie fails, his opponents on the board will further hit him.

He can't accept it!

"Is it the ghost of Zucker Wald?!" Michael Eisner asked again.

Zucker lay down innocently.

It can be seen that Zhu Ke's popularity and character are often criticized by his peers.
