Chapter 942: Cool and Cool Release

Mr. and Mrs. Smith has landed in the North American summer season. When many blockbusters are gathered, it has obtained a fairly good number of screens and scheduling.

Letting Chen Hao participate in "Alone in the Wild" for reverse publicity is a double-edged sword. When it is released, they hope that Chen Hao can withdraw. However, the "Alone in the Wild" program team is not stupid. They spent a lot of money. Now the program is so popular that they can't wait to give Chen Hao more money to let him stay for a while. How could they let him come out early?

In China, it is a precedent. In the past, there were blockbusters such as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, and they also operated Hollywood-style films, and they were played in the most resource-rich schedule. This time, a pure Hollywood production except for the male lead landed in the Chinese summer season, which is definitely big news.

The scheduling can only be limited. Some domestic films still need more space. This is also the first time that the movie starring Chen Hao has less than 20% of the market share on the first day since he became famous.

The global premiere, the publicity of this film is very alternative, let many people know its existence. In North America, watching a movie is the most common thing. Many middle-class people in China have also begun to have a different feeling about going to the cinema to watch movies than watching movies on computers and TV.

The attendance rate of the premiere, the number of screenings in the United States is not very large, and the screening halls of large theaters are still very face-giving and full. The same is true for China. Even if there is no foreign audience, it can support at least 100 million box office if it is just Chen Hao's fans.

In Hollywood, there is a very common box office law for commercial films. It only does not include a very small number of films with explosive word-of-mouth. The rest are basically the same. The box office of the first weekend will account for about 30%-40% of the total box office. If you have a box office of 30 million in the first weekend, then your box office in North America is basically about 100 million.

Any film company pays special attention to the publicity before the release. The first weekend of the release is the most important battlefield. Once you lie down in this battlefield, you will have no other way except to hope to win awards in the annual awards season and then go to the release to get box office.

The screening room of a Hollywood movie theater was packed. In this area of ​​the movie theater, you can easily find people from all walks of life coming to watch movies, and there are also many media and film critics.

In the surveys of various media and film critics before the release, everyone did not show any excitement. In their perception, this is just a very ordinary Hollywood-style commercial gun battle theme movie. In the summer season, various handsome men and beautiful women and cool special effects shots are used to attract everyone to enjoy the audio-visual enjoyment for more than 100 minutes. There is no point in going into it. In Hollywood, there is no need to go into commercial blockbusters.

The movie started, and everyone looked calm. Did you see that handsome men and beautiful women met by chance, and then all kinds of beautiful pictures rolled together and got married. This routine is really too ordinary.

The audience who don’t have so many ideas can see it with relish. They come to the cinema with popcorn and Coke to watch movies. It is just a very simple weekend entertainment project to relax. There is no need to bring your brain. I don’t want to think about what the director wants to express frame by frame. Just watch it for fun.

MOUSE is handsome, Kristen is very tasteful, and the two of them have a great screen feeling, that's all.

The plot advances very quickly. After getting married, the dullness of the two people's lives is infinitely magnified in their respective identities. They long for the warmth of the family, but for some reason they resist the warmth of the family.

"Wow, cool!"

Mr. Smith took action and completed his mission.

Mrs. Smith also took action, and she also completed her mission well.

Then the two of them attended the neighbor's party together, which made everyone very satisfied. It was quite a fantasy for ordinary couples. Behind our ordinary life, will there be many secrets? Will my husband (wife) also have a special identity? Will there be a weapon box hidden in the fireplace in my home? Will the storage room on the lawn at home be full of cash and weapons?

When Mrs. Smith clumsily and stiffly picked up the baby, suddenly a kind of warmth came, like a spring breeze, making all the audience feel a little warmth in the business atmosphere. This not only foreshadows the lack of the couple's life, but also brings a clear feeling to the audience.

Big turns are wonderful, but these little warmth in our lives are equally precious.

………………………………

In a movie theater near Xidan in Yanjing, a VIP hall was booked.

The VIP hall of this movie theater has its own separate public toilet and a separate rest area. In the rest area, there is an exit connected to the inside of the movie theater, and another exit connected to the stairwell. You can go directly from the second floor to the underground parking lot, or you can push open the door of the stairwell to the elevator area. The original design of this place took into account the issue of celebrity booking and celebrity watching. This is the capital, this is the prime location of the capital. The movie theater is on one side of the second floor of the shopping mall. The first floor, the other side of the second floor, and the third floor are all big domestic and foreign brand products. If you meet some stars here, don't be surprised.

Xiao Di not only booked a show here, but also in Shanghai. Not only the celebrity friends of the two, but also the crew of "The Legend of the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" filmed in Hengdian, also booked a hall in a nearby cinema and invited everyone to watch.

Hollywood commercial blockbusters, handsome men and beautiful women are fully displayed. Chen Hao, who rarely had the opportunity to show his body in the past in China, showed the world his body that could make Christine pale in comparison from the beginning of the movie.

There is an innate gap between male and female actors in showing their bodies. The latter is undoubtedly the most eye-catching, while the former, if you are not excellent enough to surprise people, it is really difficult to have any effect.

Chen Hao showed his body to varying degrees in the first scene, the scene where the couple changed clothes at home, and even the scene where he drove a car in the desert. Some of them were vaguely visible, some showed the whole upper body, and some showed through clothes.

The most important point of a commercial film is to constantly stimulate the audience's audio-visual experience. If you can make everyone forget to eat popcorn and drink Coke, then you are undoubtedly the most successful, creating a tense and suffocating atmosphere and showing unparalleled visual effects. "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" has achieved this in terms of rhythm, and there are constant plot twists that make people excited.

The two of them went on their own missions and then went to the party together.

The duel between the two in the wilderness.

Looking for each other until they found each other and then tested each other.

The result of the first test at home came out, and Chen Hao chased Christine's car while running.

The duel at Mrs. Smith's office.

The couple's duel at home that made people-blood-pumping-blood.

The wild possession of each other after putting down the gun and a breakfast that made people feel very appetizing.

The self-defense battle in the face of enemy invasion, from the destruction of the home to the wild running on the road.

The final battle in a fixed occasion.

This film is a collection of all the things that Hollywood commercial gunfight blockbusters should have. With family as the bond, the seemingly completely popcorn plot also contains questions and discussions about family and love. When this film does not hype the scandals of the male and female protagonists, its own value directly rushes into the feelings of the audience.

Wonderful, this is the answer placed in front of all the audiences. For example, when Xiaodi and his friends were sitting in the theater, there was almost no free time for the plot to let everyone discuss a few words. The whole film was completed in one go. In the most exciting family couple duel, Chen Hao, the unnamed but real action director, fully displayed the wonderful Hong Kong-style gunfight atmosphere that Doug Liman felt, and added a lot of wonderful and outstanding action scenes that interacted with the environment. For this reason, Christine suffered a lot during the filming, but as a professional actor, she overcame many difficulties and completed these real scenes outside the special effects lens.

Foreign audiences saw a different feeling.

Chinese audiences saw familiar scenes.

The last big scene was completely out of the script during filming. Chen Hao felt that the setting of this scene was anticlimactic and not as exciting as the previous one. In a certain degree of trial and modification, he let everyone in the crew see a more exciting way of presentation, including the prepared cooperation of the couple.

In the script, the two lived together for several years, and the tacit understanding accumulated by their familiarity with each other in life was not obvious in the final battle. The script only reflected the trust in each other and their respective toughness and professionalism, but these were shown in the previous car chase and the scenes of being chased at home. The only thing was that there was no tacit understanding after confessing all the secrets to each other. It was a tacit understanding that they had not discovered. Living together, it seemed that there were things they did not understand, but the bits and pieces of life accumulated, and the tacit understanding of getting used to each other was fully demonstrated in the last battle.

For this scene, the crew stretched the shooting, which could have been completed a long time in advance, by ten days. The excitement of this scene also made everyone feel very satisfied, integrating all the excitement in the previous scenes. At the same time, in the scenes of various action scenes, the performances of the two people were still very eye-catching. For example, when Chen Hao was shot while protecting Christine, the pain at that moment was clearly shown, but he turned his head and acted calmly, not wanting his wife to see that he was injured and not wanting her to be distracted in the battle.

Whether it is the audience in China or around the world, after watching for two hours, when the seemingly endless question and answer appeared at the end, there was a feeling of relief and enjoyment. The pure audio-visual experience of this film is definitely not worse than those Hollywood action movies that have achieved great success.
