Hollywood legendary director

An unremarkable weekend, but it became less common because of a movie.

Before the release of "District Nine", the North American film market was strictly speaking a downturn. The slightly better one was Disney's best young animation "Lightning Dog", which was accounted for 26.23 million in the first week.

Just looking at the box office, it’s nothing compared to the popular animated films released by Disney in the past, but if you add a premise, this is the 3D production that the Pixar team helped Disney’s original animation department produce after joining the Disney camp, it would be pretty good. .

It can be said that maybe this "Lightning Dog" still failed to achieve Disney's mid-90s animation film dominance in the box office, but at least let us see that the quality of Disney's animation department has indeed improved.

Well, the reputation of "Lightning Dog" is still good, and Rotten Tomatoes gives an 85 percent freshness.

new York.

Three landmark luxury cinemas less than 5 blocks away joined forces to contribute to a noisy day.

"The Ninth District" began at 10 am, and its distribution halls began to rotate continuously, even if it was about 7 pm to enjoy dinner, it was no exception. The mighty movie-goers used their wallets behind these theaters. The bosses brought joy.

The audience in the previous scene has left, and the audience in the next scene has arrived, and after watching the movie, they can't help but join the discussion and continue to increase the film's popularity and influence.

The reason for this grand occasion, of course, is that fans saw a stunning classic movie.

To describe it from another angle, it is also because the people are holding back a gloomy anger by the life at this time and are eager to vent.

Therefore, they need more extreme and extreme emotions than warm feelings.

The change of Vekus's stance before and after, the indifference under MNU's tearing off the mask, including the flesh and blood shots of several battles, were enough to keep the audience's energy in a highly concentrated state between collisions, and could not stop at all.

When such emotions reach the commanding heights, the pains of life are temporarily forgotten. Although it is "self-deception", it is also the best "mental regulator".

You should know that in addition to ideology and regional culture, film and television works also have the function of "music". This is not a criticism.

The sun slowly set to the edge of the sky, and after watching the movie, he still went to the talent market and did not find a job. Jayden walked towards home.

Today, he is more peaceful than any rejection in the past, because his thoughts have been temporarily covered by "District Nine", and what he thinks in his mind is not about work, but the scenes of the movie.

The future is always bright...

"Not bad. On average, it's only a bit lower than the summer's best-selling blockbusters."

At Blue Butterfly Pictures, Liam put down the phone after asking about the early admission rate and comparing the collected real-time responses from the audience.

"Is there a prototype for the viewing distribution?"

"It's too early to build a model. Look at the audience's feedback. 9 Chengdu is a fan of you and Edward Norton. Such evaluation data can easily be overestimated." Liam continued to nag:

"At least wait until the next week's box office trend comes out, and another round of market research can roughly estimate the adjustment direction of the follow-up promotion, but at least one thing can be known. The first weekend box office of "The Ninth District" will not be bad."

"It seems that the early results are good?" Lyman looked at him.

"323 stores, 8.55 million box offices, and an average of 25,000 in a single library. Coupled with capturing the hearts of die-hard movie fans, the initial word of mouth is at least there, and the basics are here." Liam thought:

"The first week of "District Nine" is certain to be the champion of the weekly ranking. There are no significant enemies in the same period, and the audience is basically inconsistent. But you must know that the "Lightning Dog" also aspired to 26.23 million last weekend. How to attract more The audience came in to support the show, and to make a big box office record, it is necessary to strengthen guidance and publicity."

"You have a plan." Lehman waved his hand. "I won't go to roadshows or shows. If you let Edward lead the team, their agency will cooperate."

"Edward doesn't like to participate in variety shows or talk shows. He is too arrogant, and those TV stations don't invite him very much. He has no sense of variety show, and it is easy to be cold when arranged."

In fact, it is not a good thing that an actor's exposure is too high. It is easy to be profiled by the audience. Of course, except for stars, if you don't pay attention to standing roles, exposure can easily increase income.

"Then take an active roadshow. He doesn't reject this aspect. In addition, what's the evaluation on the Internet?"

"The network propaganda department has been working hard, and the effect is good, but the situation in this area is very optimistic.

The effect is indeed outstanding.

As in the previous life, even because of the higher enthusiasm for the opening, the film critics and the audience were caught in the huge proposition of "The Ninth District", and the discussion between them soon became an existence that cannot be ignored.

Because "The Ninth District" cannot be simply defined as good or bad. Apartheid, anti-war, standpoint, and conscience can all be discussed.

Colonel Bald killed a lot of prawns. Is he a bad guy?No, from a human standpoint, his death is defined as a hero. His wife and daughter, even if they are sad, think that he is right;

So is Vycus a good person?Yes or no.He is just a poor man, and human society cannot tolerate him. He is not a born prawn, and he is equally separated.

His existence is to show the two sides from a perspective outside the dissociated ethnic group. He sees the truth that was not seen before. The rare human light in Vikus' life is blooming in the process of his ugly mutation. He is not a savior. He was labeled a traitor until the end, but he obeyed his heart.The irony is that all of this was squeezed out to wake up.

Based on this derivation, MNU, gangsters, prawns, the audience can not form a single impression of them, their existence is based on the position of a certain thing, the demand for profit or survival, and the complex senses formed.

In other words, "The Ninth District" can be viewed as a cult work, or as a "cool film" that first suppresses and then rises. The picture is exquisite, the sense of substitution is strong, the battle scene is popular, and the weapon technology Novelty and smooth plot are all advantages.

So after the first day of release, it was not the media critics that broke out first, but the Internet.

"Edward did a great job. The actor I admire the most and the director I admire work together, double satisfaction."

"It's hard to imagine that after a formulaic movie like "Iron Man", Lyman immediately contributed amazing depth masterpieces."

"I announced that for those movies that Lehman made, my favorite list has changed from "Bad Guy" to "District Nine."

"It's so beautiful, it's not enough at all."

Although it is another movie that abuses the master, Lyman’s die-hard fans have long been used to it. On the contrary, because the sense of drama can even be said to be a subtle twist, the role of Vekus in the acting school of Edward Norton Under the "alternative" interpretation in the movie, it is deeply rooted in the minds of the audience and lingers.

Classic movies will inevitably give birth to classic screen roles. Edward’s fans are very happy that their favorite actor has finally acted in a movie with a good reputation and performance. For a while, on IMDB’s actor list, Edward Rush into the top 5 at a rocket speed, behind Christian Bale...
