Superstar

"Trumen's World" is in the middle. The National Theater held its premiere in a vigorous and lively manner. More than 1,500 people gathered there, making half of Los Angeles boil. At the same time, another movie was not far away from eL. The theater held a grand premiere.

In Hollywood, the eight major film companies are mutual interests and direct competitors, so the relationship between them is always contradictory. In many cases, the major film companies will have a tacit understanding of the summer time schedule to avoid head-on collisions that would cause both parties to lose out. For example, "World Clash" and "Godzilla" are staggered. Paramount Pictures and Sony Columbia Pictures naturally made such a decision after spying on each other's situation.

However, there are exceptions: when the film company has no confidence in the work and is in a half-giving up posture, putting it on the summer file is just hoping that a strong crowd can drive more audiences in. Maybe it will be able to create miracles. At least the loss can be reduced; or when the film company has full confidence in the work, even if it faces any opponent, it has an absolute advantage. The gods block and kill the gods, and the Buddha blocks and kill the Buddha. Then the movies released in the same period have strong confrontations. Not surprisingly.

This was the case when "Life and Death Hour" was first released. During the same period, two works, "The Hillbilly Conquer New York" and "The Mobilization of the Heavenly Soldiers" were released together, followed by the menacing "Wolf". A large number of works were crowded in close schedules, and fierce competitions were launched. It was either your death or the close fight of mine. In the end, it also witnessed the glory of "life and death speed".

This is also true this time. Although "Trumen's World" is led by Hugo-Hugo has hardly found any rivals in the North American market in recent years, but considering the special nature of comedy movies, the box office appeal of this movie It is definitely not indestructible, so there is a challenger-a challenge from Warner Bros.!

This time Warner Bros.'s work cannot be regarded as a heavyweight, but it should not be underestimated.

Directed by Andrew Davis (Andrew.), who once directed the Oscar-nominated "Death of the Dead", with an investment of 60 million US dollars, he invited Michael Douglas, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Vigo. -Mortensen (.) starred, just the cast lineup is enough to be eye-catching.

This work called "Super Perfect Murder (A... Murder attracted a lot of attention during the preparation stage. The script is a remake of Alfred Hitchcock's classic "Telephone Murder". (.M.. Murder, the style is hailed as a combination of "instinct. Ability" and "seven deadly sins", which is no less inferior to "Trumen's world" from a topical point of view.

"Ultra-Perfect Murder" is a thriller and suspense movie, while "Trumen's World" is a comedy drama movie. The box office pull ability of these two movie types in the summer is half a catty. It is difficult to predict which one will win and which will lose—maybe, Comedy movies will barely have some advantages, but the advantages are also very limited.

After the "super-perfect murder case" is finalized, many people believe that there will be a battle between the two works by then, even if "Trumen's World" can achieve "30 million premiere weekend box office" results. Won the North American box office championship in the first week of June, but the process is bound to be a struggle.

Barry Meyer of Warner Bros. knows the effect of Hugo's destruction better than anyone. "L.A. Confidential" reached the top half a year ago, so he is arranging the premiere of "Super Perfect Murder". At that time, they also after many deliberations, finally decided on a plan: either to avoid Hugo's limelight, or to face difficulties and create topics.

They chose the latter.

Warner Bros. personally started discussions with Disney, pulling teeth from Paramount Pictures, and winning eL, which has a better location, more audiences, and more media seats. Theater; At the same time, Warner Bros. also contacted more than 80 major media, invited them to attend the premiere ceremony that night, and started the entire publicity campaign from April.

A remake of the "Telephone Murder", combined with the "seven deadly sins" and "instinct" styles, and other topics, it is full of clamor, creating an extremely powerful momentum for the "super-perfect murder". Both in terms of topical interest and expectations, they have already been able to compete with "Trumen's World".

However, on June 1st, the premiere ceremonies of "Super Perfect Murder" and "Trumen's World" were held at the same time, but the atmosphere was completely different, which surprised everyone.

On this lively night, eL. Nearly 400 people gathered at the entrance of the theater-only less than 400 people. More importantly, more than one-third of them were media reporters. The number of movie audiences who actually arrived at the scene to support was less than 300. . For the general movie premiere, it can be regarded as lively, but for the summer premiere, the scale is too small-even if the entire scene of more than 400 people is still quite large in the eyes of outsiders .

This really surprised everyone, even if "Trumen's World" is led by Hugo, such a huge gap is a bit beyond imagination!

Compared to the surging crowd. National Theater, eL. The theater can almost be said to be a "mencos", and even the major media reporters seem to be disappointed. Compared with Hugo, who has a lot of topics, the "super-perfect murder" can be said to be lackluster, and even the surroundings come to support us. All of the fans seemed weak, and one had to wonder if they were extras that Warner Bros. paid for.

Let alone the reporters, even the staff of Warner Bros. couldn't help shaking their heads, but they were helpless in the face of recent hot spots. Even Barry can only admit with a wry smile, in terms of publicity selling points, at present, the whole Hollywood who wants to compete with Hugo can only be counted with one hand.

Faced with such a situation, the crew of the "Super Perfect Murder" has also been under tremendous pressure-this is not a good phenomenon for the next box office trend.

However, Michael Douglas didn't mind this. He has been active in Hollywood for nearly 30 years-among them, he has been active on the screen for more than 20 years. He has become accustomed to similar situations and would never mind. Those details; Andrew Davis has been in the industry as a photographer for more than 25 years, and more often he is active behind the scenes as a director. Even when "Death End" reached its peak, he personally received attention. It was also very limited, so he didn't feel too much abnormal.

But for Gwyneth Paltrow, this is unacceptable.

The great success of the "Seven Deadly Sins" gave Gwyneth a first taste of popularity. Relying on her family's strong connections, Gwyneth's career development went smoothly. In the past two years, Gwyneth has been filming non-stop. There are nine movies, seven of which are absolute heroines. The rise is the highest in all of Hollywood, and thanks to the enviable love story with Brad Pitt before, Gwyneth is even more Surpassed Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, Cameron Diaz to become the most powerful new generation of actresses in recent years.

If Charlize hadn't won the best supporting actress trophy at the 70th Oscar, Gwyneth's strength would continue.

Within this year alone, Gwyneth will have six works released, and three works have been released in the first half of the year, but all three works can only be regarded as quite satisfactory. This also makes the other three works to be released in the second half of the year very important-two of them are works starring Gwyneth, one is the "Shakespeare Love History" that will be released at the end of the year, and the other is "Super The Perfect Murder".

However, now Charlize not only takes the lead in reaching the Oscars before the new generation of actresses, but also shows unlimited potential at the box office. In the past two months, it seems that the entire Hollywood has been singing praises to Charlize, allowing everyone to witness the inspirational story of this beautiful woman from South Africa reaching the top. This is a torment for Gwyneth, even a humiliation!

Not only because Charlize took away the light that should have belonged to her, but also because of the man named Hugo next to Charlize. Just thinking of the name "Hugo" made Gwyneth feel that she was going to lose control of her emotions. Therefore, the "super-perfect murder" must not fail and must be successful. This is the best opportunity for her to regain her own light! Not to mention that the "Super Perfect Murder" and "Trumen's World" are in a head-on confrontation~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This makes this summer contest a confrontation that absolutely does not allow any mistakes!

Gwyneth has reason to have confidence in the "super-perfect murder". First of all, "Trumen's World" itself is trapped in comedy themes, and its competitiveness itself is not strong. Even Hugo cannot change the North American film market. Thirty years of movie-watching tastes have created impossible miracles; and the "Super Perfect Murder" itself is definitely capable of dominating in the summer file.

Michael Douglas is far more senior than Hugo, with contacts in every corner of the circle; Gwyneth’s appeal is slightly better than Nicole Kidman, and the resources are much richer; so is the director Andrew. The senior director who has won an Oscar nomination has no doubt about his ability to control; coupled with the film adaptation of the classic script of Alfred Hitchcock, the story is absolutely guaranteed.

All of this makes the "Super Perfect Murder" the conditions for success! Even if because of Hugo, the news media and most viewers put the "super-perfect murder" as a challenger, but apart from defeating "Trumen's World", Gwyneth will not accept anything. Other results.

But when Gwyneth arrived at eL in a stretch sedan. When the theater arrived at the scene, she was completely shocked by the sight of the rosy bird in front of her. The incredible look on her face almost made her lose her demeanor!
