Chapter 2012 2012 Dark fairy tale

No one will forget that the beginning of the blockbuster era officially started with "Independence Day", and the subsequent "Titanic" only further pushed this wave to its peak; but no one will forget that at the Oscars not long ago, the two works "Fine and Perfect" and "Los Angeles City Secret" were exactly the biggest obstacle to the "Titanic".

Now, a "Trueman's World" alludes to the pathos and cruelty of entertainment until death, pushing the era of commercial blockbusters led by the "Titanic" to the judgment stage!

This is not only the continuation of the recent hot discussion frenzy of reformists and conservatives, but also the real and ironic presentation of this entertainment-to-death status quo with the story of "Trumen Burbank". The cruelty that penetrates everyone's soul and blood burst out without reservation, allowing the controversy after the arrival of the blockbuster era to be completely and in all aspects.

This is a very interesting thing. Truman Burbank himself is an entertainment product. He was adopted by an institution and became a product in the institution's image. He carefully created the packaging and hoped to attract more benefits for himself. In fact, this is just like a movie. The film company is responsible for producing and distributing, seeking reputation, awards, and box office. The ultimate goal is to win benefits.

Therefore, the program team in the movie has always created Truman according to the products. They control the life curve of Truman, the emotional direction of Truman, the life development of Truman, and even control the ideas of Truman, so that the goods can truly impress the audience. It is like shooting a movie, treating all the characters as puppets, and then setting off the atmosphere from multiple angles such as sets, lighting, photography, clothing, makeup, etc., and finally achieving the purpose of attracting the audience to the cinema.

But the program team ignored one thing, the most important thing: Truman is not only an entertainment product, but also a living person, a living life with self-thinking and self-soul. This is also the part that the program team has no way to control, and it is also the part that determines the quality of "commodities".

Just like a popcorn commercial blockbuster, when the crew controls the movie from all aspects, but loses the accuracy in the most core, most important and most connotational part, making the story only become a carrier of visual special effects, explosion effects, and magnificent pictures, from "Independence Day" to "Titanic", and never returns on this road, losing the meticulous and refined "Los Angeles Secret", losing the delicate and realistic "perfect" style, losing the spiritual power of "Forrest Gump", losing the pioneering and innovation of "Pulp novels", and losing the historical reflection of "Schindler's List", then these commercial blockbusters will gradually become an empty shell, like walking dead, not only difficult to impress the audience, but will gradually be obscured in the long river of history.

Truman Burbank is actually the reference to movie products, and the dilemma faced by Truman in movies is the current confusion and dilemma encountered by the film industry at the intersection of entertainment to death.

In fact, this is not just a dispute between reformists and conservatives in recent times, but can be traced back to the beginning of the commercial genre craze triggered by movies such as "Great White Jaws", "Star Wars", and "Raiders of the Lost Ark". The film industry has always been controversial about this. The essence is the paradox of finding a balance between commercial films and art films.

Then in the late 1980s, after the agency increased the actor's pay a lot, the cost of films rose rapidly, and such a debate reached a new peak; now with the "Independence Day", the "Titanic" explored the potential of the box office market, the focus topic erupted like a volcano.

In the "Trumen's World", Peter Will ended with Truman's going out, but did not really show the picture behind the end, because Peter knew clearly that challenging the unknown is very terrible, and everyone was afraid of change, but if he refused to change and just insisted on his own security field, then it was only a matter of time before the demise came. Therefore, Peter hoped that Truman would go out like an audience in a cinema, so can commercial blockbusters in the real world "go out"?

There is no doubt that the "Trumen's World" absurdly and strangely displays the two topics of entertainment to death and freedom to death in the form of a dark fairy tale, and deeply and strongly conveys this absurd reality tragedy. The hot discussion frenzy that temporarily fell back due to the Oscars ceremony once again rekindled.

Under such circumstances, the media comprehensive review reached an incredible 96 points. The view of film critics can also be seen from the side. Although the "Titanic" topped the Oscars under the expectations, people in the circle have always been consistent with the development trend of the film industry: whether it is commercial films or artistic films, it is the most important thing to focus all their energy on the work itself. The spirit of entertainment to death will only make the film die step by step.

The 96-point super high score is not only a classic comedy like "Slim Daddy" and "Disguised Weird" this year, but also a famous comedy in film history such as "Modern Times", "City Light", and "Tiger's Escape" far behind. Even among all types of movies, it is ranked high in the forefront. All of this has made the "Trumen's World" stand up to the ranks of classic film history.

The outstanding performance of the media comprehensive review represents the attitude of the film critics, while the theater scores represent the audience's feedback.

However, since this is just the premiere, there are less than a thousand viewers who can enter the live viewing of "Trumen's World", so the scores of theaters are not universal. Only after the full release is held and the interview samples reach a certain number can this score be of reference value.

But even so, the movie score of "a+" after the premiere of "Trumen's World" still shocked everyone, which almost means that the audience gave the highest praise to the movie, and there is no difference from the media's full score of 100. As a comedy movie, even if it is just the premiere, it can be said that it is a supreme praise that cannot be copied.

It has always been the most difficult thing to make the audience laugh. What is even more difficult is that after making the audience laugh, they can still leave a deep impression on the audience and give the audience a thumbs up. In the entire history of film, works that can win such an honor will never exceed one hand.

Now, "Trumen's World" has done it again. This work, known as the "dark fairy tale", has won reputation and praise. Of course, there are only less than a thousand people in the current statistical sample. With the full release of the movie, the theater scores will inevitably decline, but after the premiere of the China Theater, a very interesting data statistics appeared: the number of people asking about "Trumen's World" has reached an incredible 20,000!

Of course, there are no pre-sale tickets for "Trumen's World". Now Hollywood can make movie theaters sell pre-sale tickets in a handful of works. Even on "Independence Day", "Titanic" does not have pre-sale tickets. Only movies with series of works like "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" can allow theaters to sell pre-sale tickets.

The main reason is that commercial blockbusters still have not risen across the board, and the concept of "pre-sale tickets" has not been fully popularized. People do not think that there is a movie that needs to be purchased in advance. It is enough to buy it on the spot on the same day. The scene of "Independence Day" being empty and tickets are hard to find. It has only appeared once so far.

In the next few days, more and more people asked about the pre-sale tickets for "Trumen's World". If the box office statistics are based on the pre-sale box office of "Trumen's World" has reached 800,000 US dollars. This is not only incredible for the present in 1998, but is a situation that no one can imagine.

Although the cinema scores are still not universal at present, the "pre-sale tickets" that do not exist at all proves the irreplaceable important position of the "Trumen's world" in the minds of the audience.

At the same time, the combination of "Trumen's World" and the popular topics in the past few months has once again reached its peak, which has made countless viewers feel extremely enthusiastic about the movie, which has made people look forward to the box office results of this work on the premiere weekend.

In contrast, the "Super Perfect Murder" premiered on the same day was completely in a neglected dilemma. Among the media reports on June 2, there were more than 400 "Trumen's World", while there were only less than 100 news about "Super Perfect Murder" and this was almost a desolate one after another when Warner Bros. was doing his best to carry out publicity.

Warner Bros.'s publicity power is far greater than Paramount Pictures, but the momentum presented by the two films has completely changed its position. With the confidence and ambition of "Super Perfect Murder", this result can be said to be unacceptable.

What's even more terrifying is that the media comprehensive review and theater scores of "Super Perfect Murder" are very bad. Although many people expected such an ending to be comparable to the works starring Hugo Lancaster, this can definitely be said to be a small probability event; but the media comprehensive review of "Super Perfect Murder" with only 50% of "Super Perfect Murder" is really too bad. Not to mention comparing it with "Trueman's World", even the work itself is an unacceptable evaluation, especially under the cover of such a powerful crew lineup of the movie, this result is even more incredible.

The cinema score is only a "c" that barely passes the exam, which also proves that the audience has no interest in this work.

Under such circumstances, the box office prospects for the premiere weekend of "Super Perfect Murder" have become precarious. Not to mention confronting "Trumen's World", it can even be said to be unable to protect itself! Now, Warner Bros. can only expect that the appeal of Gwyneth Paltrow and Michael Douglas can make the movie's premiere box office burst out with more potential.
