Rebirth In Hollywood - Chapter 873

As the crowd walked out of the Kodak Theater, Emil was stunned. He turned his head and looked at the huge poster hanging high at the main entrance. Prince Arthas raised his warhammer in the burning Stratholme and shouted in anger, preparing to attack his enemies. Revenge, but walked into the abyss of destiny.

“What are you looking at?” his companion reminded him, “it’s getting late, we should go.”

Up to now, Emil’s dissatisfaction with the film has disappeared. Although the film hardly mentions his beloved tribe, the excitement far exceeds his highest expectations. Even if the final dark ending makes people feel depressed, it will not weaken at all. He believes that this must be the point of view of classic films.

“Wait a minute.”

Instructing his companion to wait, Emil took out his phone, edited a piece of information, and uploaded it to his Twitter and Facebook.

“A great work, instead of fighting in a literary film, it is better to raise the level of a commercial film like “World of Warcraft: The Angry Prince”! The film not only captures the feeling of classical tragedy, but also borrows the role of Alsace Menethil. , The contradiction between good and evil is mapped vividly. The most important thing is that the movie is so good-looking and impeccable!”

After sending it out, Emil found that his companion was doing the same thing.

“For a movie such as “World of Warcraft: Angry Prince”, no amount of praise is superfluous!”

As the night got deeper and quieter in front of the busy Kodak Theater, Kenneth Turan waved goodbye to his old friend Todd McCarthy, got in his car, and ordered the driver to go straight home.

He opened a small notebook. Although professional film critics have declined, for some reason, he has been contributing to the Los Angeles Times, and watching films is a habit he has developed for decades.

Frankly speaking, before attending the premiere, he was not optimistic about this film. After all, there are few examples of the real success of a game adaptation film, and director Natalie Portman is the first to direct this type of film, even if she is the first best female director in the history of the Oscars, she also needs Slowly accumulate in commercial films.

Despite being a professional, Kenneth Turan never thinks that commercial films are simple things, especially commercial films that are heavily invested in large-scale productions, which can turn into disasters with a little carelessness. Making such films is far more cautious and more careful than movies. difficult!

What he didn’t expect was that the film was unexpectedly wonderful, and Ryan gave his best performance in recent years. Natalie Portman has completed a masterpiece.

With the help of the records in the notebook, Kenneth Turan recalled the film and wrote down the first draft of the film review to be submitted to the Los Angeles Times after the meeting.

“If “World of Warcraft: Angry Prince” is the oldest and most ambitious work in its genre, it is by no means an exaggeration. In terms of design conceptualization, script creation, actor performance and director production, it surpasses all Game adaptation of a movie, if measured from the perspective of a magical epic, can even be compared with the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy.”

“This film with Natalie Portman at the helm and Ryan Jenkins is a dark, complicated and disturbing movie. Because it shows the complex side of human nature in front of the audience, and It’s not just to create an image symbol wielding a warhammer. This difference may not make a big difference to those game fans who are looking forward to it. But I can say here-“World of Warcraft: Angry Prince” is The first game-adapted movie that has truly achieved great artistic achievement so far!”

At the same time, in a car heading for Santa Monica, Todd McCarthy was doing almost the same thing.

“World of Warcraft: The Angry Prince” is no longer limited to game movies. Natalie Portman gave Ryan Jenkins’s Arthas soul and became a fascinating tragedy. It created something we care about Role. This is because of Ryan’s acting and screenwriting, because of Natalie’s directing, because of the ultimate technical quality of the entire production.”

“This is a great, popular and profound commercial masterpiece. It contains too much content in 2 hours and 35 minutes. It is as exciting as a roller coaster ride! At the same time, it is magnificent, disastrous and children Inappropriate, “World of Warcraft: Angry Prince” has raised this kind of vulgar film to a very high level!”

The long night slowly disappeared, and the rising sun climbed up to the sky to illuminate the Disney headquarters building. Ryan walked into his office and sat in a comfortable boss chair. The first thing he saw was the one placed on the desk. Midnight box office statistics.

Seeing the numbers above, the corners of his mouth were slightly bent, and it seemed a little better than expected.

The office door was suddenly pushed open, and Nicole, who was stepping on high heels, walked to the opposite of the desk, pulled the chair away and sat on it, took the coffee cup in front of him directly, and took a big sip.

She just put down the coffee cup, before she had time to speak, the door of the room was knocked suddenly, Charlize Theron walked in, looked at Nicole for a moment, then smiled at her, and sat on the side of the sofa. Go, I took the phone on the coffee table and dialed the secretary desk.

“Two cups of coffee, no sugar, thanks!”

“Why are you here?” Ryan couldn’t help frowning.

“I invested a lot of money in this film…” Nicole didn’t go to see Charlize Theron at all, and frowned at Ryan. “Of course I have to come and see the latest market reaction.”

“Me too.” Charlize continued.

The knock on the door sounded again, and two young ladies walked in one after another, the secretary with coffee in the front, and Natalie in the back…

She saw Nicole and Charlize, and she was taken aback.

“sit down.”

Hearing Ryan’s voice, Natalie squinted at him, walked to the other side of the room, and sat on Charlize’s opposite position.

The secretary was very clever, and hurriedly fled the office after putting down his coffee.

“I believe you are here for the same purpose.”

Rubbing his forehead, Ryan didn’t bother to say anything beautiful, so he picked up the statistics and said, “The box office at midnight is OK, slightly better than expected. North America has $18.5 million in the account, and there is no specific overseas. registration.”

After Ryan’s words, it was obvious that the two investors and the other director were relieved. But there was also a slight awkward silence in the office.

“If you have time.”

Faced with this situation, Ryan had no choice but to suggest, “We can go out together and take a look at Disney’s newly renovated employee entertainment hall.”

“No need!”

Nicole stood up first, without looking at the people on either side, and walked straight out of the office.

“I have to prepare for the promotion of the movie.” Natalie left without looking back.

Only Charlize was left. The South African Diamond shrugged to Ryan, covered his mouth and smiled and said, “Sorry, dear. I have to go back to ct headquarters.”

The chuckle of high-heeled shoes disappeared, and calm was restored in the office.

Beginning today and Friday, “World of Warcraft: Angry Prince” will be released in 94 countries and regions around the world at the same time. In North America, 4,366 theaters opened at the same time, setting a record for the largest release this year.

The $18.5 million North American midnight box office is not outstanding, and it can’t even be compared with the last two films of “Twilight”, but it is very rare for such a game adaptation movie.

According to Ryan and Disney’s expectations, “World of Warcraft: Angry Prince” can get a $15 million midnight box office even if it is qualified.

After midnight. Although there have been some **** game fans criticizing the movie for disrespecting the game setting and making a mess of adaptations, this kind of sound is only a few of the few, and the overall audience reputation of the film is excellent. Especially in the afternoon, the latest survey statistics show that the audience of “World of Warcraft: Angry Prince” has been stuck in an overwhelming state of ‘a+’.

On the Internet, Ryan Disney Online has a fan rating of 96 points. In imdb, I also received 8.9 points of unanimous praise for the time being…

From the novels originally published in Vanity Fair to the Blizzard real-time strategy games and online games that were thoroughly developed later, the “Warcraft” series was born for more than fifteen years. Such a long period of time is enough to cultivate a large number of fans. These fans are the basis for the success of the film, but also an obstacle.

Just like the situation encountered at the beginning of the “Lord of the Rings” series, if the quality of the film is not good enough, under the verbal criticism of a large number of fans, the large investment in the film will only evolve into a total disaster; and the quality of the film is guaranteed, but When it can meet the needs of the vast majority of fans, it will burst out with a strong audience reputation and market response.

In one day on Friday, “World of Warcraft: Angry Prince” won US$67.16 million from North America, and the box office of the single room was as high as US$15,384!

This achievement looks nothing more than that after entering the second decade of the 21st century, but don’t forget that there is no high-priced 3d version of the film. Except for the imax version, most of them are ordinary with a price of $7. 2d version!

By the second day, even though the North American box office had fallen by 29%, it still received 47.65 million U.S. dollars!

And Sunday’s US$43.59 million pushed the film’s first week of box office in North America to a height of US$158.41 million!

This is the height that a game-based movie has never reached, and it is also the first week of box office performance in North America that a magical epic movie has never reached!

Compared with Ryan’s home base in North America, the performance of the film overseas is relatively inferior. The overseas box office in the first week was only a little more than 150 million U.S. dollars, and the combined global box office just exceeded the 300 million U.S. dollar mark~www.mtlnovel.com~ However, compared to expectations, this result is enough to satisfy Ryan and Disney.

In the following time, “World of Warcraft: Angry Prince” still performed strongly in North America, and even won the box office rankings for three consecutive weeks in the summer. The film only took 18 days to reach the global box office. One hundred million U.S. dollars!

The global screening of this film lasted until Christmas, and it was a huge commercial success. The North American box office ended up at 534.85 million U.S. dollars. The overseas box office was slightly worse, but it also had 469.7 million U.S. dollars. Earnings, the global box office totaled up to US$1.04 billion.

This box office performance is irrelevant to Ryan, but it has created a series of records.

This is the highest-grossing fantasy epic film in North America, and the highest-grossing game-adapted film in North America and the world. It is also the first time that a single work directed by a female director surpassed US$500 million in North America and more than US$1 billion worldwide! (To be continued…)
