The film critics' negative reviews are not surprising.

After all, judging from the overall effect of the movie, it is a rough mirror that is enough to make people's heads dizzy.

It is enough to make most film critics start to scold, not to mention that in addition to the real sense created by the real background, the overall story of "Blair the Witch" is also surprisingly simple.

At least in the eyes of most film critics who pursue "deepness", the story told in the film "Blair the Witch" cannot be called a movie at all.

However, no matter how the critics express their dissatisfaction with "The Witch".

The movie's box office results are still impressive. It has been released for more than a month and the total box office has accumulated more than 150 million US dollars. The negative reviews from film critics and the media do not seem to have affected the strong box office trend of "Blair the Witch". For horror films, what the audience is looking for is a sensory stimulation.

There is no doubt that Blair the Witch did this.

Even if the movie is not worth mentioning in the words of film critics.

But as long as it is scary enough, it will be enough to attract the audience to take out the US dollar in their pockets.

Even though they already know that "The Witch Blair" is just a fictional movie, except for a few movies adapted from real events, isn't this the case for most movies?

Of course, with the box office of "Blair the Witch" exceeding 150 million, the potential of the entire movie is actually coming to an end.

The box office of the new week also dropped sharply from the original $20 million to around $10 million.

Many theaters have begun to remove "The Witch Blair" and release new movies.

But no matter what, the big profit of "Blair the Witch" has become an established fact.

Even for Universal, as long as there is a theater to release the film "Blair the Witch", it will be profitable for the film company.

...

"Don't pay too much attention to the comments of those critics, Allen..."

"We all know that Blair the Witch is a successful movie."

New York, Universal Pictures.

Ron Mayer naturally showed an extremely friendly attitude towards the hero behind the success of "Blair the Witch".

On the phone, the vice president of the Universal comforted him in an incredibly cordial tone.

"In fact, the Universal side has contacted some critics who are happy to write comments on a new narrative theme like Blair, the Witch, which created a 'pseudo-record thriller'."

Spending money to find film critics to write reviews has always been a common method used by film companies. The purpose is to control reviews to facilitate the subsequent development of overseas markets of movies and the DVD market.

"I'm not as fragile as you think, Mr. Ron."

Driving on the vast road and receiving a call from the world, Zhao Yuan smiled indifferently.

"My purpose of filming "Blair the Witch" is not to please those self-righteous critics."

Film critics may be important, but they are just one movie ticket for each person, which is far from enough to determine the life and death of a movie.

Especially Zhao Yuan is very clear that with the development of the Internet era and the popularization of popular film reviews, the influence of film critics on films will only become smaller and smaller.

Even at this stage, film critics critics criticize "The Witch" as worthless.

However, there are still a large number of film production companies that have come to Zhao Yuan, hoping that he can shoot and produce new movies for him.

Hollywood is ultimately a capital society where money is king.

The box office achievements of "Blair the Witch" are enough to make any Hollywood film production company jealous.

Even Warner is no exception.

In fact, it was precisely because Ron Meyer knew this that he took the initiative to call Zhao Yuanwennuan.

Zhao Yuan's benefits to Universal in the two movies "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Blair the Witch" even exceeded the sum of other movies. As long as Ron Mayer has a clearer mind, he will never send him to other film companies.

"It seems that we are unexpectedly consistent in our views on the critics, Allen."

Echoing and expressing the attitude of unity against the enemy.

On the phone, Ron Mayer and Zhao Yuan talked for a few words before making a tentative inquiry with a vague attitude.

"It sounds like, Alan, you don't seem to be in Los Angeles?"

"You know, Mr. Ron."

Faced with Ron Mayer's search on the phone, Zhao Yuan simply threw out the excuse he had prepared long ago.

"After "Blair, the Witch, I couldn't think of any good script. I was worried and decided to leave Los Angeles and go out for a walk to see if I could find some inspiration."

Zhao Yuan's reason is high-sounding, and even Ron Mayer cannot find any loopholes in it for a while.

Therefore, during the phone call, the Global Vice President could only continue to show a friendly attitude and expressed his support for Zhao Yuan.

"Then, I wish you Allen to be able to successfully find the inspiration you are looking for and create a new script during this journey."

"Speaking of this, Universal has started to work on the share income of "Blair Witch". The overseas box office cannot be accurately calculated because the movie is still being released, but the North American box office part has some results, and the subsequent income will be transferred to the account. Congratulations, Allen, the movie "Blair Witch" alone has successfully promoted to the ranks of Hollywood millionaires..."

In addition to blessings, Ron Mayer also did not forget to make vague hints.

"Thank you, Mr. Ron, the success of the movie is indispensable to the support of the world, which I will not forget."

After finishing the call with Ron Mayer, Zhao Yuan restrained the excited expression on his face and returned to his calm look.

【Plot Value】: 28620

His eyes raised slightly, swept over the numbers on the broken panel, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The success of "Blair the Witch" has brought more than just simple financial gains.

With the release of the movie, the box office revenue of "The Witch Blair" was also converted into a certain proportion of the [Plot Value] and incorporated into the original [Plot Value].

Withdrew his gaze on the system panel, Zhao Yuan's gaze fell on the blurry border of the town in the distance through the dusty windshield in front of him.

In the phone call with Ron Mayer, there is a point where Zhao Yuan did not lie.

That is, his purpose of going out was indeed to find inspiration for the "new script".

However, the "new script" he mentioned and the script that Ron Mayer knew were not scripts with the same concept.
