Hollywood starts with animation

Is the movie "Pearl Harbor" really useless?

Although it's a dog's blood, it's definitely not useless, and there are still many things to do.

For example: the explosion scene of the movie!

In order to create the most spectacular and thrilling air strike scene, director Michael Bay and special effects coordinator John Fraser used 700 stick explosives, 2,000 feet of detonating cord and 4,000 gallons of gasoline to detonate 6 warships.For safety reasons, Fraser prepared thousands of fire hoses and fire extinguishers at the shooting site to prevent the fire from getting out of control. All crew members involved in the shooting must wear gas masks.

Director Michael Bay has 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, he has to be said that he is indeed brave enough.

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

At the same time, all the plans that were carried out were without incident!

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

The craftsman spirit of meticulous polishing is worthy of the recognition of all film workers.

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

Michael Bay's "explosive shell" is not a name.

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

however......

Even so, it can't hide that the slot is full.

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

"The New York Post" published an article: "After 40 minutes of exciting explosion scenes, it is a few hours of predictable and banal romantic drama."

"The Wall Street Journal" published an article: "Pearl Harbor has no depth like a comic, and the loose story turns World War II into a stupid symphony."

"Washington Post" published an article: "Audiences who enter the venue, please choose a seat next to the aisle and definitely go to the toilet at least twice. Maybe this film should be called "Boggy, Boggy, Boggy."

The "Chicago Sun Times" published an article: "The movie "Pearl Harbor" is a boring and old love, and there is no depth in the handling of war scenes. More than half an hour of plane bombing of ships, explosions, corpses flying in the air, and people escaping The attack... is meaningless, it was just a terrible carnage, not so as to move or entertain the audience."

.......

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

As the producer and distributor of the Disney Group, at the moment...a bit dazed.

"Innocence is unreliable. You must start as soon as possible. War is a bird, it is better to engage in a triangle."

——From the website of Rotten Tomatoes.

This is the current news that the movie "Pearl Harbor" has been pinned to the top on the Rotten Tomatoes website, and the number of likes is as high as 13,000.

13,000 people!

You know, how long hasn't been since the movie "Pearl Harbor" was released!

This is a beeping dog!

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

"David, you come to my office immediately." Robert Iger called an internal company phone for the first time.

Not long.

The distribution department of Disney Pictures, well, that is David Anderson, director of Bowei Pictures (Disney's distribution company), arrived here.

"David, have you seen the negative news about the movie "Pearl Harbor" on the Rotten Tomatoes website?" Iger said gravely.

Upon hearing this, David nodded heavily and said: "Mr. Iger, I have seen it. Not only the Rotten Tomatoes website, but also on the Popcorn website, but also the New York Post, The Wall Street Journal, and the Chicago Sun Times. The entertainment pages of major newspapers such as "Pearl Harbor" have reported negative news about our film "Pearl Harbor." Other entertainment tabloids are even more generous, and the situation is quite unfavorable for us."

Robert Egg's face changed.

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

"David, isn't the Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, the parent company of Wald Pictures, behind the scenes?" Robert Iger said suddenly.

"Uh.....?"

David froze for a few seconds, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "There is currently no evidence to prove this."

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

If the negative news of the entire incident was produced by the Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, then he would not be too worried. After all, the fake is fake after all. With the power of Disney's media, can the form be easily reversed?

but!

Once the negative news of "Pearl Harbor" bursts, it does not come from the Golden Dawn Entertainment Group;

It's really from the spontaneous behavior of the vast movie audience, then...the situation is extremely serious!

Robert Iger got up from his seat and said with a grim face: "David, first contact Rotten Tomatoes website and revoke the negative comments on the top of the list. Then, no matter what method you use, you can find the network navy. It’s okay for film critics to reverse the word of mouth. In short, within three days, no, within a week, I don’t want to see too much negative news about Pearl Harbor, you know?"

"Yes, Mr. Iger!"

David nodded heavily, cold sweat unconsciously.

The movie "Pearl Harbor" is undoubtedly a key project of Disney Group this year, with a production cost of up to 140 million U.S. dollars and an announced budget of up to 100 million U.S. dollars.

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

Undoubtedly, the total investment of the "Pearl Harbor" project is as high as 250 million US dollars.

It cannot tolerate failure!

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

"This is still based on the film's distributor, and Disney itself. Otherwise, without a 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 a heavy heart.

Ding Ding Ding~~~

At this moment, the phone on the desk rang.

Caller: Michael Eisner!

He is the current chairman of Disney and is known as the "Disney Tyrant".

"Iger, you can check it out for me. The negative news of "Pearl Harbor" has appeared on a large scale. Is it the ghost of Zhuke Wald?!"

This is the first sentence that Michael Eisner said after the call was connected.

He does not believe that "Pearl Harbor" will fail, nor can he 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 is a bit unstable.

Once the film 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.

Zhuke lay innocently with the gun.

This shows that Zhu Ke's popularity and character is often criticized by his colleagues.
