Chapter 191: Another win-win situation
"How is the situation? I know you want to see it." Chen Tian, who had just walked to the door of the study, saw Scarlett Johnson sitting in front of the computer.
Scarlett still had sweat for running, and she was wearing a tight sweatshirt to outline her perfect figure.
Chen Tian couldn't help but take a few more glances: "I thought you were going to take a shower."
"You don't have it either. I'm reading the reviews for you. What do you think?" Scarlett's face was filled with a smile, although she also didn't know the box office.
But from her online reviews, she knew that "The Little Sunshine Beauty" was successful.
"Your expression told me the answer. It seems pretty good. I saw it in the newspaper. " Chen Tian walked in and stood next to Scarlett.
Several web pages were printed on the computer screen, and the first one was the Rotten Tomato website.
Chen Tian's eyes were shocked by 94% freshness. He never thought it would be so high, and the number of people rated exceeded 5,000.
You should know that such a high freshness is the highest this year, and it is rare even in recent years.
The final freshness of memory "The Little Sunshine Beauty" is as high as 91%. Compared with the original version of later generations, at least this score shows that his shooting is pretty good.
In the film review area, Cheryl Madman said: "It's very interesting, I like the details of pushing the cart.
We pushed the cart together, squeezed in the car together, faced difficulties together, danced on the beauty pageant stage together, and the last family drove towards the sunshine together, thanks to Justin for bringing me the warm video."
A member below wrote: "A faint warmth is not pretentious. It would not be too much to win a 'best film' in the Oscars."
Seeing this evaluation, Chen Tian couldn't help but think of Harvey Weinstein. He thought that such a very good reputation might help him.
Compared with most of the positive reviews, there are some bad reviews. A man named David Magic wrote: "This is a video that makes me feel sleepy. I don't understand why people around me like it very much and cry about it.
Maybe I should reflect on myself, but I can’t find a reason to reflect on myself.”
Seeing this bad review, Chen Tian couldn't help laughing. After all, this bad review changed direction and became a recognition of the film.
"You are very happy, right? But this is just the beginning. Maybe you can look at the professional evaluations. By the way, the imdb score is as high as 8.4 points.
Most of them have good reviews, and there is a "That Swift of Sunshine" written in a very good way.
I felt like he could understand your heart, which made me feel a little jealous.”
Chen Tian laughed even happier when he heard Scarlett's words. He thought Scarlett was deliberately joking, but when he saw Mike Ben's "That Smooth Light".
There are many movie reviews on imdb that have been praised by many people, and many of them have been mentioned in Chen Tian’s heart.
In Yahoo media's comprehensive evaluation, "The Little Sunshine Beauty" also reached a very high level of B+, and many authoritative media scored high A-scores.
"This film reflects the reality of people's lives more closely."
The New York Times commented below Time magazine: "The first thing I saw was the pure eyes of the little girl, who seemed to be able to see through the depths of our souls.
This is a movie about dreams and fantasy. Casting and performance are both the best, and Justin lets us understand what success is, what failure is, and what is the person you should care about.”
Maxi Rosser, a film critic of Variety, wrote: "This is a family comedy that uses children to knock on the door of the audience's soul. Although there are many films of the same type, it lacks the spirituality of this film."
Maxi Rosser's words have been recognized by many professionals. Compared with many similar films, "The Little Beauty of Sunshine" has indeed achieved spirituality.
Just like the ratings, almost all the media gave good reviews, not good or bad.
The Hollywood Reporter released today even used the title "Win Win" on the front page headline.
"Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings won reputation and box office, and it's all well deserved because he is indeed excellent. Any director knows what the choice is to meet Lord of the Rings.
Justin Chen and MGM made the most incredible choice, and the release of the same day was destined to have a big impact on the box office.
However, when I watched two videos, all I could say was that this was a win-win situation.
The box office of "Lord of the Rings 3" is destined to explode, while "The Little Sunshine Beauty" lost the box office but won the hearts of countless people.
Just like the internet said. One of the best suggestions, watch movies separately, and you will gain more.”
It is not only Chen Tian who pays attention to the reputation of the film, but Eric Lomis, who is in Los Angeles, and Roger and Alice, who are far away in New York, are paying attention to the reputation of the film.
Eric Lomis was under great pressure, but after seeing the reputation was overwhelming, he finally got comfort.
Especially after receiving a call from Harvey Weinstein, he felt much more at ease.
Harvey Weinstein told him directly. Let him wait for the good news, and he will do everything possible to operate "The Little Sunshine Beauty".
Whether successful or not, Harvey Weinstein's operation will play a certain role in the box office.
The only thing that made Eric Lomis uncomfortable was that the New York Post actually wrote the title "The Secret of the Box Office of the Sunshine Little Beauty" at the bottom of the homepage.
It sounds easy to attract people to watch. However, turning to that page is not a good thing.
As long as you are not a fool, you will know that "The Little Sunshine Beauty" did this to increase the box office.
Although I don’t know how the box office of "The Little Sunshine Beauty" is, looking at the good reputation on the Internet, Eric Lomis is ready to continue to spend his energy to promote it.
Peter Jackson is waiting for the assistant's box office report, and he doesn't go to the BOX website because he wants to know more detailed data.
His assistant will send him all the specific situations of each country as soon as possible. Although he is waiting, he feels that yesterday's premiere should not be bad.
"It's out, it's out!" Alice immediately looked at the refreshed page.
The number one is indeed "Lord of the Rings 3", which has many fans with excellent reputation. The Lord of the Rings, released in 3,703 theaters yesterday, won an incredible box office of 34.1 million, with an average of nearly 10,000 US dollars per game.
Although I knew that the box office number one was "Lord of the Rings 3", such a high box office still surprised Alice.
Like Alice, Eric Lomis is a professional, and if he remembers correctly, such a high box office on Wednesday should be the first time in history.
Eric Lomis looked at the second-ranked film, and it was indeed "The Little Beauty of Sunshine".
Yesterday, he won 8.06 million yuan in box office premiere. This result made Eric Lomis breathe a sigh of relief.
According to the almost one-sided reputation on the Internet, there are still four days left this week.
In these four days, although five films were released on Friday, Eric Lomis felt that there would be no problem with the box office of 20 million, and if the situation was good, it might even reach 25 million to 30 million.
After the final three months of screening, 60 million yuan will definitely be earned, so MGM can still make considerable profits. At the same time, it can also make considerable income on DVDs, Blu-ray discs, and TV on demand with good reputation.
Although the score of 8.05 million did not exceed tens of millions, Matthew Lunt, who was standing in front of the computer, was depressed.
This box office was too high in his opinion, completely beyond his imagination. You should know that the films ranked third to fifth have been released for less than a week.
The third "Love is a Compromise" only gained 1.02 million, almost falling below the one million mark.
With such results, he could imagine Sony Columbia's depression. However, when he saw "The Body Brothers" ranked sixth, he only won 450,000 yuan in box office yesterday, Matthew Lunt's gloating mood suddenly disappeared.
He could only look forward to the release of "A Basket of Children" in two days to wipe out his depression. When it was ten o'clock, Peter Jackson received an email in his email address.
Opening the email and looking at the data, Peter Jackson smiled.
Because he received $34.1 million in North America on the day of the premiere, he even received $57.6 million in the global box office.
This result also broke the single-day box office record of $28.5 million on "Star Wars Prequel 1" on May 19, 1999.
If nothing unexpected happens, the North American box office of "Lord of the Rings 3" will undoubtedly achieve the previous predetermined goals. The BOX box office statistics website will be opened with a good mood.
When he saw that the second-large "The Little Beauty of Sunshine" actually earned 8.05 million yuan, he felt incredible and decided to go to the theater to watch the film.
The moment Peter Jackson walked out of the company, he met many reporters.
"Director Peter Jackson, what do you think of the box office secrets of "The Little Sunshine Beauty" rumored online? Do you know this?"
"Director Peter, I heard that "Lord of the Rings 3" was a big box office hit. Do you have anything to say? Will you continue to direct the Lord of the Rings series?"
"Director Peter, what do you think of "The Little Sunshine Beauty". Some people say that "Lord of the Rings 3" is excellent, but it is bad compared to the ending of "The Little Sunshine Beauty". Do you have anything to respond to?"
"Do you know director Justin Chen?"
...
"Sorry, I know Justin Chen, but I haven't seen his videos yet. Now I want to go to the theater, if you want to go. I can invite you.
I think I am qualified to comment on how the video is like after watching it, right?
As for the box office of Lord of the Rings, I think you all know that we broke the Wednesday record. It’s honorable that I broke the record."
After saying that, Peter Jackson got into his car and drove towards downtown Los Angeles. In the eyes of reporters, Peter Jackson's reply meant that he wanted to go to the theater and then criticize him.
Although they know that there are all one-sided positive reviews on the Internet, this does not prevent them from taking things out of context.
"Peter Jackson Ignores the Little Beauty of the Sun" - such a news title soon appeared online.
