Chapter 634 Cultural Differences
There have been many firsts in Relativity Entertainment. "Wedding Prochon" is the first time to get involved in a pure comedy movie. In this regard, the success or failure of "Wedding Prochon" is also of great significance.
The film was successful, and the subsequent comedy projects such as "The Hangover" could naturally unfold smoothly.
Apart from the general direction and the final edited version, Ronan has hardly interfered with the filming and production of this film, because the difference between American comedy and Chinese comedy is too big.
Few pure American comedy can not only gain a high reputation in the Eastern market, but also sell well.
In this regard, it is not even as good as an American chicken soup movie like "When Happiness Comes Knocks the Door".
Before entering the theater, Connie answered a call, came to Ronan, and whispered: "The Senator from Illinois wants to meet you."
Ronan knew who she was talking about, nodded and said, "Reply to him after the premiere, yes."
Nowadays, I'm afraid few people can imagine that Hei Tan classmate could reach the peak of his political career.
After walking a few steps, Ronan said again: "By the way, the next time I go to New York, I will find someone to ask for a date for the real estate developer."
Connie nodded: "Okay."
She couldn't understand why Ronan had to meet with that big mouth, was it for the other party's beautiful daughter?
It seems that Ronan has been very restrained recently. Except for Scarlett Johnson and Anne Hathaway, he has not contacted other women anymore, and it seems that he is in a tendency to turn aside from evil.
Ronan has no special thoughts, nor has he thought about any help. As long as the Washington authorities do not drag their feet in the future, the goal can be achieved.
The big companies here basically bet on both ends, rather than hanging themselves on a tree.
Politics is very complicated, even more than business. Even if it involves this, Ronan will keep a low profile and keep a low profile, and try to get over it as much as possible.
Otherwise, it's a death sentence.
Ronan walked into the theater and went to the movie with peace of mind. Although he was incompetent in appreciating American comedy, it was still a film invested by his own company.
Besides, there are two handsome guys and two beauties in the film.
Irving Wilson and Bradley Cooper have a good appearance, especially the latter, who has a slutty handsome look.
Rachel McAdams and Ella Fisher are in Hollywood, although they are not top-notch, but they are also first-line beauties.
After the film began to be screened, laughter kept appearing in the theater and never stopped.
All kinds of burdens and jokes.
Of course, because of the real growth environment and the differences in cultural backgrounds over ten years, Ronan really couldn't get the funny point.
The difference between comedy movies in the East and the West is too big. Even with Hollywood's international filming method, cultural surprises cannot be eliminated.
Whether in the East or the West, as a comedy movie, its basic characteristics are funny and funny, but how to make people laugh, and how to maximize any factor that can make people laugh in a film, the focus of the elements of East and West comedy movies is very different in this regard.
Especially in some Hollywood romantic comedy movies, there are often large monologues and dialogues, which are all about American slang and conventional laughs. As an oriental audience, it is difficult to understand. This can also appear in foreigners' comedy movies that watch Eastern styles. Don't laugh where you should laugh, and laugh loudly where you shouldn't laugh.
There are too many comedy elements that cannot be solved simply by just the translation of movie images and lines.
Therefore, comedy movies are often more regionalized.
When the audience laughed unanimously, Ronan was even confused. He often had to think about it before he knew where the laughter was and why the audience laughed.
In general, in Ronan's eyes, the quality of this film is probably the same as "Hangover 2".
However, the difference in cultural background is particularly obvious in Ronan and other audiences. After the full release of "The Wedding Proud", the average score of imdb was as high as 7.4 points!
This is a super high score for a bad comedy!
What was even more unexpected to Ronan, the film critics also enjoyed "Wedding Proud". Among the 68 reviews collected by Rotten Tomatoes website, not only were the most popular reviews, but the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is as high as 78%!
Ronan completely understood why "Wedding Proud" was so ugly, but he was included in the ranks of successful comedy movies in the new century in Hollywood.
Both sides are not on the same channel at all!
The ratings released by cinemasore directly reflect the market barometer. Among the on-site ratings of the theater audience, the average score of "Wedding Prok" is...a!
This really stunned all the films released during the same period.
Because cinemasore's audience ratings face the front-line audience, it can best reflect the possible box office trend of the film.
Other films released at the same time can only look up at "Wedding Proud".
Because on the first day of its release, cinemasore data showed that the average score of "Eighty Days Global World" was C, the lowest among the four large-scale movies.
The second-last is "Star Legend" starring Vin Diesel, who has a mysterious and confident self-confidence, with a score of c+.
"Garfield" has an advantage in theme, and it was also good to shoot, so I got a b+.
"Wedding Proud" clearly occupies a certain advantage among the audience.
This advantage is directly reflected in the box office figures. "Eighty Days Global World" has the largest investment but the lowest box office. On its first day of its release on Friday, it only received US$2.15 million in North America.
Box office numbers prove that Walt Disney gave up "Eighty Days Traveling the World" as an extremely wise and timely stop loss strategy.
The second-to-last is "Star Legend". Vin Diesel's confidence cannot be exchanged for the recognition of the market and the audience. The opening day is only 3.15 million US dollars.
"Garfield" performed well, and among the four new films that started on a large scale, it firmly ranked second with US$7.73 million.
"Wedding Proud" directly sold out three other films released during the same period, and won $14.56 million on Friday!
This result also made "Wedding Prok" beat $11.34 million from "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" screened in the second week, becoming the champion of the North American box office list that day.
Movie fans' reactions online are more direct.
"The movie "Star Legend" is really bad. Vin Diesel is too confident, the narrative is chaotic, and it doesn't look powerful at all."
"This movie made me leave the scene angrily for ten minutes, and my dog's eyes were blind. What's the thing Van Diesel took?"
"What the hell is it filmed in "Eighty Days Traveling the World"? It's not as good as a cartoon when I was a kid!"
"The imagination is a little worse, the action scene is a little worse, the comedy is a little worse, and the performance is also a little worse, and it becomes a big difference in "Eighty Days Traveling the World"!"
"There is a $100 million investment, with Jack Chen, and you have these resources on hand. It will be difficult to shoot such a bad shot! Unfortunately, Disney did it!"
In contrast, "Garfield" is more of a positive review from movie fans.
"Although Garfield has become a hero who saves the world through a routine, I still like this three-dimensional Garfield."
"Garfield is a good cat, which can be used as an excuse for all laziness and indulgence!"
"I like Garfield because we can see too many shadows of ourselves in it: a little lazy and a little selfish, a little selfish but full of blind optimism and courage, smart and confident, and that sentence that no one can bully you except me."
As for "Wedding Proud", the praises account for the absolute majority.
"Among the four new movies released this weekend, "Wedding Prok" has the best quality and the most worth watching."
"I watched "Eighty Days Traveling the World" at the premiere, and watched "Star Legend" on Friday. I watched "Wedding Proud" today. I watched two bad movies, but I found that "Wedding Proud" is the best. Good movies are really compared."
"Agree! Compared with other movies of the same period, "Wedding Prok" is definitely a good movie!"
"Remember the point, both heroines are beautiful!"
"This movie has nothing to say. Both the funny points and feelings are handled just right by the director. When the love is deep, the relationship between men and women is handled extremely delicately."
“The Wedding Prok is the best comedy I’ve seen recently, it’s amazing!”
At Walt Disney Headquarters, in the chairman's office, Michael Eisner looked at Tony Close opposite the desk.
The latter seemed a little nervous, and sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.
"There is no possibility of saving?" asked Michael Eisner.
Tony Close said: "Stop loss is the best choice, but fortunately we didn't invest too much in promotion and promotion..."
Michael Eisner raised his hand and interrupted him: "Don't work with the main creators after this project."
"I understand." Tony Close responded quickly.
"The four films are painted at the same time, with the lowest investment." Michael Eisner's eyes became more and more serious: "As a result, Ronan Anderson rushed out again, Relativity Entertainment..."
Tony Close didn't know how to answer, so he simply shut up.
Michael Eisner shook his head slightly. Although he knew that Relativity Entertainment was gradually threatening Walt Disney, with Disney's current situation, he really couldn't spare time, energy and resources to suppress this completely surfaced competitor.
Which one is more important to defeat Relativity Entertainment or to ensure control over Walt Disney? Is it more important to choose?
Michael Eisner carefully explained: "Tony, summarizing the lessons learned from this failure, King Arthur must not have similar situations."
Tony Close said quickly: "I promise."
Michael Eisner waved his hand and Tony Close left the office.
As his subordinates left, Michael Eisner's face suddenly tensed. As time went by, he gradually felt a sense of urgency. The dark tides hidden under the sea seemed to surging huge waves at any time.
