Chapter 1562 1562 Incomparable
History is always so strikingly similar.
Still no one can forget that summer two years ago. At that time, Hugo had just won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, and everyone was paying attention to the magic statue of the golden man. They were curious about what kind of achievements Hugo would achieve in his next work. It appeared at this sensitive point in time, and the news media led by the "New York Post" were not optimistic about the prospect of this work, and even started a shocking gambling game. How it turned out, everyone knows: "Life and Death" raked in $239 million in North America in a sweeping fashion.
Back in the summer of 1996, Hugo had just won his first Oscar for Best Actor in the Golden Man. Any news about Hugo's new work appeared, but "Independence Day" appeared at this point by chance. This time, it seems to be different from "Life and Death Speed", but it is almost exactly the same.
The news media led by the "New York Post" did not foolishly open the gambling game again, but it is undeniable that the box office trend of "Independence Day" still attracts a lot of attention, even more attractive than the gambling game two years ago, because "Independence Day" still attracts a lot of attention. Japan's box office involves the "20 million club", the commercial film represented by computer special effects, the success rate of high investment and high return, and it is a topic of debate in Hollywood that has lasted for nearly three years. This is the entire film industry. are in the focus of close attention.
"Life and Death" became the most dazzling commercial film of the year as a dark horse; and "Independence Day" cannot be regarded as a dark horse, because it has been a topical work from beginning to end, and there is no lack of "Chicago Tribune" so optimistic about its creation The media of historical records, but can the answer sheet finally handed over by "Independence Day" be comparable to the "speed of life and death"?
At least in terms of cost, "Independence Day" doesn't have any advantage over "Speed of Life"; but judging from the reaction of the audience after the premiere, there are too many similarities between the two.
"God, did you see the explosion at the end? It's like the whole sky is exploding, all the stars are pouring down like a waterfall, it's really spectacular!"
"Don't you think it's very romantic? Seeing that picture makes my whole body melt!"
"I like the picture when the alien spaceship just arrived on Earth..."
"Hey! Hey! The scene of bombing the White House is called handsome! With a bang, the White House was blown to pieces. That's really incredible!"
"Yes, the White House was bombed directly. I'm curious about how Clinton would feel when he saw the movie, hahahaha..."
middle. The discussion at the entrance of the National Theater was extremely noisy. Sophie Bonne, the host of Fox Television's entertainment news program, directed the camera to greet the crowd at the first time. In fact, the paper standing at the entrance of the theater was There are a lot of media reporters. After all, the number of reporters who can enter the premiere is limited, so many reporters stayed on the field and planned to interview the crew and guests as soon as possible. But the TV media is only Fox TV.
Not because Fox Television and 20th Century Fox are affiliated with a parent company, but because Fox Television started out with a news station after its establishment. Their news acuity is much higher than that of their competitors, which is why they are famous. Cornerstone.
The huge publicity before the release of "Independence Day" attracted the attention of Fox TV early on. They recalled the way of supporting North America that shocked North America at the premiere of "Speed of Life and Death", and believed that today's premiere would definitely make a big fuss. So they sent a helicopter to take a bird's-eye view in the afternoon, and it turned out a lot. Now that the premiere of the movie is over, they took the cameraman to interview the audience on the spot, and they learned the true appearance of the movie "Independence Day" from the audience's perspective for the first time.
It has to be said that Fox Television's choice is very bold. Because in the eyes of the media, no one cares about the opinions of ordinary audiences. They all target their interviews with crew members or invited guests. Of course, it would be more perfect if they could interview Hugo.
Therefore, Fox TV's actions did not cause too much scruples from other peers at all, and everyone rushed towards the target group.
"Hello, can I take up some of your time?" Sophie stopped a group of young people in front of her and asked loudly. The noise around her forced her to raise her voice and shouted to ask.
The four young people stopped, with excited smiles on their faces, and nodded again and again, "Of course you can."
Sophie pointed the microphone at the interviewee, "You just watched 'Independence Day', what do you think of this movie?"
"Wonderful, so exciting!" "God, the picture is so spectacular, every battle is so spectacular!" "This is a movie scene that has never been seen before, if 'Star Wars' was shot like this. , I feel like I'm going to have a heart palsy in the movie theater." "I'm going to be so excited that I can't sleep tonight, I don't want to sleep! Woah woah!" !"...
These young people in front of you, you are rushing to express your opinions every word and every word, and use their whole bodies to express the surging joy in their hearts. The excitement and excitement that rushed to her face made even Sophie smile involuntarily, wanting to jump with them.
After Sophie finished the interview, the four young men stood shoulder to shoulder, and began to learn how to howl, "Ow, ooh!" The tumultuous emotions in the heart were vented heartily, which made Sophie suffer a little too. Encouragement - after all, whether interviewing ordinary audiences is the right choice, no one has a clue.
Then Sophie interviewed a couple again, the man seemed very calm compared to the others, "Although it didn't meet my expectations, the story still seemed too simple, but it was indeed a good movie and worth watching Watch it once in a movie theater. But you have to come to the movie theater to feel its charm, and the home video will lose a lot of color.”
The lady standing next to him also nodded, "To be honest, I agree with his point of view, but I still like this movie very much. In addition to Hugo's role is still too weak, overall, more than two hours The viewing process of the movie was very enjoyable, and I am in a very relaxed mood now.”
"So, are you a Hugo fan?" Sophie couldn't help but ask.
The lady laughed, "I wouldn't say that, but Hugo is indeed the reason for us to watch this movie." The man standing by the side added, "It was because of her request that I came three days in advance to line up to buy it. To the premiere movie ticket." This made the lady laugh shyly, "However, Hugo's role in the movie is still weakened, which is a pity. But Hugo and Alexander, Leonardo, Sander The interaction between Lara is still very interesting.”
When Sophie handed the microphone to a middle-aged man in his fifties, his expression didn't seem to be fully recovered, "Well, from the story, it certainly can't meet too many people's expectations, but... But wow, this is truly unprecedented, and the whole viewing experience was full of surprises. I won't say I love this movie, but I have to admit, it would have been a huge loss if I missed it. It's a pity." Having said this, the man seemed to finally wake up, hehe laughed, "This movie represents the dream of many people when they were young, I think, maybe I know the reason why Hugo is willing to accept this movie. ." After speaking, the man also showed a smile of "you know me too" and left calmly.
"I like it, I like it, I like it!" This is the answer from a mother in her mid-thirties, holding her daughter in her hand, "I thought I wouldn't like this kind of subject, but because Hugo , I still chose to watch it. However, I didn't expect it, I liked it very much, this is really a wonderful movie."
Immediately after, Sophie saw a boy in his twenties jumping in the same place. He could hardly contain his excitement. After Sophie went to interview, she didn't get a clear answer. She just listened to the boy jumping. He shouted intermittently, "Unbelievable... miraculous... wonderful... exciting, so exciting... God! God! God!"
Sophie hesitated for a moment, and could only withdraw the microphone in her hand, adding, "From this state, he should have no plans to sleep tonight."
Sophie interviewed a wide range of subjects, including men and women, representatives of various age groups, and representatives of different classes. After interviewing more than 30 viewers, Sophie found a phenomenon: maybe " "Independence Day" is not perfect, and many people have different opinions on the movie, but the same is that almost everyone thinks this movie is worth watching. This is very rare.
You know, it is not easy to judge whether a movie is good or bad, but it is even more difficult to judge whether a movie is worth watching. But now, everyone thinks that "Independence Day" is worth going to the cinema and worth the ticket price, whether the parties like it or not, but it is really worth watching. This is undoubtedly an extremely important piece of information. Even "Speed of Life and Death" was not able to get such an evaluation at the beginning. From this perspective, it can be seen that the visual effects of "Independence Day" are excellent and shocking - in 1996 and now, this It's the first time ever!
What's more, the excitement and excitement that have not disappeared can be seen in almost everyone's eyes, which clearly shows that this is a movie that is enough to make people's blood boil. For most people, that's enough to lure them into the movie theater.
"If I had to sum up the experience of the interview in one sentence, I would choose the word 'unparalleled.' What is it about a film that has brought so many different audiences to similar conclusions? This led me to Strong curiosity, maybe, I should also go into the cinema and watch this film myself."
After wrapping up the interview, Sophie draws her own conclusions in front of the camera, and the storm of the "Independence Day" premiere has only just begun.
