Hollywood legendary director

The premiere that was carefully prepared for "Troy" failed. Even though Warner Pictures did not want to admit this fact, and even wanted to cover the media and newspapers from publishing negative news about the film, it could not do so.

After all, only Warner is allowed to fall into trouble, and others are not allowed to chase after him?

Universal said that the pattern is broken in Tucson.

Sure enough, the tone of the newspaper changed completely the next day.

Previously boasted about how luxurious the main creative of the work and how difficult the shooting process was. All the soft-texts were covered by the movie's viewing evaluation, and most of them were ruthless.

"Variety" and "Hollywood Report" gave a total of 52 points for viewing movies, and they have completely announced the collapse of movie reputation, and even dreamed of the dream of double harvest at the box office such as "The Lord of the Rings" and "Ben Xu" Completely wake up.

And after the end of the public screening weekend, audience feedback also ushered in large-scale bad reviews.

The freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is only 54%, with a score of 6; in addition, IMDB also has more than 7,000 viewers rated, and the score is temporarily maintained at a very embarrassing number of 6.4.

Knowing that this is a large production with an investment of close to 200 million, such feedback data is undoubtedly a miserable failure.Even "Van Helsing", which has been blacked out some time ago, is slightly more glorious than "Troy", and it has fallen into this.

This is definitely the most miserable ending for an epic masterpiece that is eager to achieve a win-win situation.

The San Francisco Tribune’s comment also pointedly pointed out, “Under the name of an epic, the most famous battle of ancient Greece was adapted, but in the end, the elements of ancient Greek mythology were discarded throughout the article, and it was eventually reduced to a popular and botched piece. To naive commercial movies, they are still the worst."

In other words, if you plan to make a commercial romance movie from the beginning, you may not be sprayed so badly.

The really sad thing is that "Troy" has a very good starting point, is very tall and feels very superior, and it turns out that it is not as good as a mediocre popcorn movie with commercial elements.

......

Brad Pitt has been very upset these past two days.

"Troy" started painting with nearly 4,000 theaters, which is not strong.

On the market, "Van Helsing", which has been screened for more than a week, and many small-cost, lively movies have been squeezed out of attendance.

But the reputation of this screening is too worrying.

"Boom boom boom." A knock on the door sounded.

Brad Pitt sat in the office of Plan B Pictures and said, "Please come in."

Incoming is Johnson Gray, one of the shareholders of Plan B Pictures.

He walked in quickly, and his expression was not very good.

"What's the matter?" Pete asked.

"Just got the news that "Troy" had a box office of only 16.52 million dollars yesterday." Johnson Gray sat on the sofa with a sad expression on his face.

"What, the single-day box office on the weekend was only more than 16 million?" Brad Pitt looked at his shareholder and friend in surprise, thinking that his ears were wrong.

Damn it.

For a large-scale production such as "Troy", the box office of less than 20 million in a single day on weekends can be regarded as a failure.But what is the concept of just reaping over 16 million?

The box office on the first day is still very optimistic, but the next day will it begin to fall off a cliff?

It sounds like a fantasy.

What's wrong with this world?Didn't I wake up yet?

Just when Brad Pitt doubted his life, Johnson Gray confirmed: "It is indeed the data. I have counted several times with the theaters. There are 3,896 theaters with 5 consecutive screenings every day. Almost all the film schedule of time is allocated to "Troy", and our attendance rate has not been high, and the number of moviegoers is still declining."

With that said, Gray put several copies of the newspaper he bought on the desk.

Brad Pitt watched them unwillingly, but his face was even more ugly.

Even "Entertainment Weekly" came to a random sample survey of "Troy" moviegoers, and the audience's comments on the film were very unsatisfactory, highlighting a truth.

What is "great disappointment" and "boring"; what is "far below expectations", "I feel like the movie is a mess, I don't know what to say".

More, the most criticism was directed at the lead actor, Brad Pitt.

There is no way, who makes you famous.

"Compared with Peter's God of War, Eric Barner played Hector as a foil, but it was a bit brilliant." "The result of a group of actors participating in the performance is a big bad film, and Pete is the best performer. The bad one".

"I can't see the big scene, I can't experience the thrilling war, or even the hero. I don't know what the movie wants to show us. Watching Helen and Paris's dog-blood elopement? If it is, maybe it's not bad. At least, this The two are quite good together", "Pete is not suitable for acting Achilles at all. From figure to performance, the characterization is always terrible, there is no similarity, and there is no heroic charm..."

There are a lot of negative comments. Even a small number of brain fans gave very noble positive feedback on Pete's character creation, but it can't cover up the complaints of more people, or anger and disappointment.

Under the effect of such high expectations, the more the finished film fails to meet expectations, the easier it is to be scolded.Very normal phenomenon.

For example, bad movies are produced every year, but the ones that are most scolded are always the works of directors or stars who have made achievements.

A bad movie is bad, it must be watched first, right?

The high profile of the propaganda period is more like a sharp blade to oneself.

It was originally the most watched movie work this summer. It is no exaggeration to say that the expectations of many audiences for "Troy" have exploded.

After a long period of foreshadowing, there are endless topics of scandals.While seducing everyone's curiosity, it not only creates conditions for the film to achieve good results, but also faces the danger of triggering a crisis of trust.

Unfortunately, "Troy" only achieved the latter.

Warner originally gave a box office forecast of 95 million in the first week at the media conference.

At that time, many media felt that Warner was too conservative and invested 200 million. Not to mention that it broke 100 million in three days like "Spider-Man". In a week, what happened? It's not a high box office to get a 100 million, even try It is not impossible to hit the box office record.

But who ever thought that it was not that Warner was conservative, but that he didn't have much confidence in himself at all.

The single-day box office of more than 16 million has also proved that they are right, and they are probably still inflated. With this performance, and the reputation of the collapse, whether it can exceed 70 million in the first week, there is a question mark.

Like "Van Helsing", "Troy" also went from heaven in an instant, half of the body fell into hell, and even worse, after all, people's investment is not as big as "Troy".

They are all bashing on the street, obviously one bashing is more powerful.
