Dan Fehrman, distribution manager of Warner Bros.

Looking at the box office data of "The Matrix 3", my face was filled with gloom.

Such box office results did not meet Warner's expectations at all. They basically had little revenue by relying solely on box office. They could only expect revenue such as TV on demand and DVD outside the box office.

What made him even more angry was that "This Man from Earth", which has been tied to "The Matrix 3" during this period.

This reminded him of Chen Tian’s debut film "Buried Alive", which also cost only $10,000.

When that film was released, it happened to be in a collision with the super science fiction film "Terminator 3" that Warner spent 240 million yuan to produce and release.

In the end, the box office of "Terminator 3" was only 150 million in the United States. If it weren't for the outstanding overseas box office, it won nearly 450 million in the world, then this work would have caused Warner to suffer a huge loss.

"Terminator 3" North America was only less than 15 million yuan higher than "Buried Live", which made Warner a joke at one time.

Today's "The Matrix 3" is not released on the same day as Chen Tian's "This Man from Earth".

But the various news over the past week made Dan Fehrman very angry, but he could not stop the comparison on the Internet.

Today's New York Times entertainment edition has a page titled "Steping on Warner's Miracle Season 2?"

Dan Fehrman was so angry when he saw this news.

He no longer expects the sudden rise of "The Matrix 3" at the box office in the future, but instead puts his hope of regaining face on the 80 million-dollar Warner Superstar Mobilization.

Matthew Lunt of Fox also looks forward to "The Sea of ​​Rage" being able to hold the box office on its first day of release, although the greater expectation for the Fox film is the Oscars.

In addition to Fox's "The Sea of ​​Rage" and "Warner Bros. Warner Superstar Movement" released at the same time as "This Man from Earth", there is only the autobiography of the legendary American rapper 2PAC released by Paramount.

"The Matrix 3", which is about to cross the 100 million box office mark, has been ignored by most people, even though today is Friday.

"Who goes to the theater today? I'm going to watch "The Battle of the Angry Sea". Fox's Olympic-striking blockbuster should be pretty good!"

"I'll go to the theater, too, but I want to see "This Man from Earth", Justin Miracle 3.0."

"I don't think there will be Miracle 3.0, but I'm sure the box office of Justin will far exceed the cost."

“Didn’t somebody say this is another sci-fi movie?

I'm a science fiction fan. "The Matrix 3" disappointed me, and I'm going to see Justin tonight.

The story of a man who lived in the 140th century sounds pretty good, although his shooting time made me feel desperate.”

"It's just a money-making movie. Justin Chen is destined to be the next John Wu, but fortunately, there is no investment in the theater until now. He will bear it himself."

Roger and Alice looked at the exchange on the forum and joined immediately.

Alice quickly typing on the keyboard: "This is Justin's confidence in her video, and of course the quality of the video.

Can't the joint issuance of three major companies tell the problem? I believe there is no doubt about Miracle 3.0."

"Forget it, this video will make him ashamed, because he is going to go to Liberty Island to run naked! I promise he will run naked!"

"Absolutely not, Justin's miracle will continue." Roger also joined in.

The two of them have made the biggest mobilization to love you during this period. Mobilizing Chen Tian and Natalie Portman fans to enter the theater to support "This Man from Earth".

Today they will go to the theater with 100 New York fans. As Chen Tian’s hardcore movie fans, they hope that Miracle 3.0 can continue, and hope that Chen Tian will not lose this bet.

Although they don’t have much clue about “This Man from Earth” in their hearts, the media has also paid great attention to the upcoming “This Man from Earth”.

A video that took only 7 hours to complete the filming.

Without pre-screening, it still gained the support of theaters and was released in 2,345 theaters. This is enough to illustrate some problems.

Cinemas are not fools, the number of screens is fixed. They can give Chen Tian so much screen support, which is a kind of trust in Chen Tian.

Scarlett Johnson looked at Chen Tian who was driving and they were heading to the AMC Cinema near Sunset Avenue in Los Angeles.

Although Chen Tian looks normal these days, she can feel that Chen Tian is a little worried about "This Man from Earth".

This was the first time she saw Chen Tian showing a disconfidence, and she had already made up her mind.

If the box office results of today's premiere are not ideal, she will use her only savings to support a part of the box office.

When they arrived at the cinema, there was a long queue of people buying tickets, and the two joined the team.

The team moved forward little by little. The sound of buying tickets came from time to time.

Scarlett frowned, because the sound that penetrated her ears, the proportion of "This Man from Earth" was similar to "The Matrix 3".

It's almost half of "The Sea of ​​Rage", and it's even worse than "Christmas Elf" that has been around for a week.

Although not many sounds were heard, Scarlett was worried.

"Two pictures of True Love First". Thank you!"

Scarlett had a problem with his ears and pulled Chen Tian: "You bought the wrong one!"

"No, what we are watching today is "True Love First"." Chen Tian patted Scarlett's hand.

Holding two videos, Scarlett followed Chen Tian into the theater.

"How did you buy "True Love First"?" Scarlett was puzzled.

"How much difference is there for me to have two more tickets and two less tickets? And this video."

Chen Tian banged the movie ticket on his hand, "It's an excellent romantic comedy. I don't seem to have watched a movie with you, and I really watch a movie."

"But."

Although Scarlett also looked forward to watching movies like an ordinary couple in the theater with Chen Tian, ​​he never thought of under such circumstances.

"Nothing is there. Check the ticket quickly, hurry up and leave!

Anyway, the box office will be released tomorrow. Wouldn't it be nice to enjoy an excellent movie?"

Chen Tian grabbed Scarlett's hand, and the moment the two fingers touched, Scarlett's heart quickly calmed down.

Especially when she saw that Chen Tian had no initial tension at this moment, she temporarily relaxed her worries about the box office.

"True Love First" is a romantic comedy, a comedy hodgepodge composed of 10 love stories.

This film is written and directed by British director Richard Curtis, and all the actors are British actors.

Chen Tian clearly remembers that the film has a high rating. In the end, North America won nearly 60 million box offices when the release scale was not large.

"True Love First" ranked first in the UK in 2004 DVD sales and rental. The global box office reached US$250 million.

It is a film with a win-win reputation and box office, and is recognized by countless movie fans as one of the classic films in the history of love films.

Chen Tian chose this film instead of "This Man from Earth" directed by himself.

In addition to reducing stress for himself, he also wanted to watch a movie with Scarlett, just like a normal couple.

It is also for the 21st of seven days later to cultivate the relationship between the two.

Entering the screening room. There are not many people, and the hall that can accommodate 300 people has almost half the attendance rate.

Although I have watched this video later, I was suddenly immersed in it when I watched Chen Tian again.

The first shot is at the airport, where people keep smiling, hugging and kissing, with tears of gratitude, joy and tears of reluctance to parting.

"Whenever I feel very upset about the world, I think of the scene at the gate of the Sithrow Airport."

“Many people say that we live in a world of hatred and greed.”

"But I don't think that in my opinion love is around you."

With a narration, Chen Tian turned his head and looked at Scarlett. Scarlett held Chen Tian's hand tightly.

The video was screened bit by bit. Although the attendance rate of this hall was only half, most people soon followed the plot of the film and smiled and cried.

Chen Tian and Scarlett were no exception. Scarlett leaned against Chen Tian and felt Chen Tian’s warm embrace.

At this moment, the attendance rate of "This Man from Earth" in the theater is also not high, just like "True Love First".

After the video began, some complaints sounded in the screening hall, and Mike Ben frowned and watched.

At the same time, Roger Albert, who was far away in Chicago, entered the theater again and came again for Chen Tian.

Although he also wanted to watch "The Battle of the Angry Sea", his subconscious finally made him choose "This Man from Earth".

He wanted to see if there would be Miracle 3.0, although he didn't have much miracle about this.

The trailer for "This Man from Earth" is not very attractive to him. He is more to see what kind of video Chen Tian made in seven hours.

The film was simple and ordinary at the beginning, but slowly he thought with every line of the characters in the play, just like many people who liked this film.

Like Roger Albert, Mike Ben gradually entered the film and was eventually completely attracted by the film.

There are no special effects, no action scenes, and no gorgeous shots, a house that is so simple that it cannot be simpler.

It was such a film that attracted them, and many people who entered the theater had the same idea as the two of them.

When the screening of "This Man from Earth" ended, those who liked the film were still savoring the film.

People who don’t like movies are depressed that they waste a movie ticket and watch an extremely bad movie.

"A video like this is a waste of my time and money. God, I actually watched a video like this."

"A group of people gathered together to talk, God, I finally know why this video was filmed in just seven hours."

"Does Natalie Portman add up twenty lines in the video? She seems to be the least important one."

"Anyway, I'm very disappointed, Justin actually made such a film."

Such remarks are flooding major forums, and good reviews are far from bad reviews.

On IBDM, the score of "This Man from Earth" is only 6.5 points, although there are only more than 200 rating personnel.

On Rotten Tomatoes, "This Man from Earth" is only 55%, which is far from comparable to Chen Tian's previous two films "Buried Live" and "Hard Fruit Candy".

Everything seems to herald the film "This Man from Earth" will suffer a crushing defeat.
