The huge attack of Poseidon was a blow to Warner. He was almost stunned. The 20 million paintings had almost been labeled as jumping on the street.
They want to learn "Iron Man". After beimi blows down 100 million and makes a loud sign, they will light the global beacon. Who knows, they are silent. The films that rush to the streets in beimi are difficult to sell in other places. Their hearts are like being dug up by a knife.
Wolfgang first had the disappointments of "Troy" and then the super fiasco of "Poseidon". He fell down from the altar and wanted to shoot A-level blockbusters again. He was very difficult. He was afraid to follow the old path of Wu white pigeon.
The cinema operators are collectively thankful that without mark's divine film to save the market, everyone is ready to sell their kidney or jump from a building at the moment.
When a blockbuster encounters Waterloo, it is often the beginning of a love sketch. Last year, it became popular with films such as wedding pride, 40 year old virgin and mother-in-law monster. However, it is also a love sketch. Unfortunately, the God of love starring Lindsay Lohan is no match for a lot of love comedies with adult jokes, which seems to be going to support the box office, Lindsay Lohan, who just got rid of her child star identity, is not hot enough.
Lindsay Lohan, the leading actress in Hollywood, also received the first red card of her career this week. Her love comedy "unlucky love God" completed its first week's performance at the box office of $5.5 million. Like the beautiful soup show, Lohan's private life and peach news occupied too many headlines in gossip tabloids, This gives the audience enough reason not to see a "dissolute girl" film, not to mention that Miss Luo Han's performance has taken a big step back from two years ago.
In fact, the failure of "golden Turtle Car" last year has given her a yellow card warning. Unfortunately, Luo Han still loves red makeup rather than armed. What's more, most die hard fans still regard ignorance as their personality and applaud the frequent scandals of idols, but the market is the market. The ultimate box office of "unlucky love God" is 25 million, which is the limit. It's not as good as "Iron Man" One day box office on any of the first four days.
At the beginning, Lohan and Rachel became popular with cheap girls at the same time, but mark just appreciated Rachel. Many people were surprised that the red and purple Lohan disappeared. Now it's not surprising. With several more films by mark, Rachel quickly became the top actress, almost comparable to Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullock, while Lohan was in a beautiful time, Quickly indulge in parties and all kinds of sex scandals, and become a real model of cheap girls. All kinds of scandals can be seen in the newspaper every week.
On the eve of the release of unlucky love, she was also photographed having a party with male models on the yacht with her good sister Paris and drinking all night.
For this matter, Donald finally couldn't bear it. He had a quarrel with his girlfriend, but Paris pleaded softly and persuaded him that her theory was just an ordinary party.
The bigger joke came. A tabloid reporter interviewed one of the male models that night. This person frankly admitted that it was a super hi party. All the participants drank and then skated, followed by a group mess, and photos as evidence.
This was quite sensational news a few days ago, and it also broke up Donald and pastry, who have been showing their love in a very high profile.
Donald called mark to ask his opinion on the matter. Mark's attitude was so clear: "we are an emerging family. Each of us works hard and seriously maintains our image in order to add luster to the family. Do you want our efforts to be in vain?"
This made Donald make up his mind. Paris was sexy and charming, which made him very addicted. He couldn't stand all this in the end. He didn't pay much attention to sex, so he didn't care about her past, but it was betrayal. He couldn't stand betrayal,
Mark believes that Jerry must be playing tricks. Whether Paris or Lohan, they are celebrities and have bodyguards. They are very careful when playing on the yacht. The bodyguards should not allow anyone to shoot unprepared. If there is no picture and truth, they are not afraid of tabloid reporters' reports. Now there is no room for denial.
Skating, group promiscuity, no man can stand such a girlfriend. Donald in Philadelphia called to break up.
Mark is deeply satisfied with this result. In the eyes of open young people, it is the bottom line. They should have no possibility of compound. This is unforgivable. Jerry is really an expert. He endured it for a few months and made a fatal move. For this reason, mark called to express his gratitude and praise: "ginger is still old and spicy!"
Jerry was quite modest and said, "in fact, I didn't do anything. I just made what she did secretly public. She can't change her dog to eat shit and can't blame others."
Mark said, "thank you!"
Jerry said, "now, beimi, you are the most beautiful. You love Donald so much and have done so many things for him. He is a lucky guy."
Mark said, "if it's not good for yourself, who should it be good for?"
Jerry said, "Senator Ao Guanhai of the Democratic Party admires your talent very much. Would you like to meet him? He asked me to introduce him."
Mark said, "you can attend the fund-raising dinner, but the specific things have always been in the charge of Robert, Megan and David brothers and sisters, you know?"
Jerry said, "it would be best if Mr. egger and the Ellison brothers and sisters could come."
Mark is very disgusted with politics and doesn't want to participate in any form of political activities. Although he is not a real artist, he is full of the artist's lofty temper and ashamed of being with the people of the court. Even Jerry thinks it's reasonable for him to make such a statement.
Hollywood tends to be neutral in American politics. If you have to choose a political position, it is the Democratic Party. This is because California is a big camp of the Democratic Party. As a well-known person from the performing arts or production, too much participation in political activities will affect his reputation. Moreover, the political circle is more dirty, and he will fall into shit, It's not good to be called a political speculator.
Hollywood has always been full of joy and sorrow. Wolfgang Peterson, who won the reputation of "the best action film director" in Hollywood with air force one, shocked Hollywood with a series of thrilling films such as starting from the bottom of the sea, Sniper at the line of fire, terror zone, perfect storm and Troy, It has gradually become an important weight that big Hollywood film companies can rely on to gamble heavily with the cruel film market.
"Poseidon" is the most expensive gamble that Warner spent 160 million dollars on Wolfgang at that time. Because the story content is similar to that of Titanic, it can be determined that this film is trying to copy the magic and immortality of Titanic.
But the final box office was astonishing. It was terrible. At the premiere weekend, it was $23 million. In the end, beimi laughed at the box office of more than 60 million, which was only one tenth of the total box office of Titanic.
Not only the box office of the film is in sharp contrast to its huge investment, but also its reputation is poor to a certain extent. Most comments focus on criticizing that it has no soul and only want to express two aspects: first, the joy of survivors; 2、 The cruelty of the ship capsizing. The IMDB score is 5.6, and the freshness of rotten tomatoes is only 33%.
The final impression presented to the audience is like a top student playing happily for a year. One month before the start of school, he found that he didn't do his homework this year, so he rushed to make up for it, but he wants to spend 30 days to write the homework that needs to be completed in one year. How can the time be enough? Therefore, the director decided to finish several important parts that the teacher would focus on first, and deal with the rest.
The film started on June 18, 2005 and premiered at beimi on May 14, 2006. It was hasty and cut corners. It had the ability to become a good work on disaster theme, but it ended with "blank room". Mark's production cycle of iron man was shorter, three months shorter, but he succeeded. No one accused him of "rough and indiscriminate work".
In fact, the concept of "Poseidon" is very good. Basically, it takes the route of organically combining several classic commercial film elements such as "disaster", "Thriller" and "adventure" with gorgeous special effects. Films taking this route will not miss in most cases, because the difficulty is not very great. As long as 80% of the investment is used where it should be used, For example, invite stars with box office appeal, make dazzling special effects (which is also the consistent standard of Hollywood blockbusters), write scripts (as long as they are not too bad and can explain clearly), do publicity (Hollywood is at the forefront of the world in this regard), and the other 20% can be wasted.
From this film, you can also find the commercial film elements and spectacular computer special effects mentioned above, such as "the disaster of big waves hitting and overturning the whole hull" (much like Titanic, but this time the ship capsized first and then sank), "after the hull capsized, the water in the ship, the continuous rise of water level and the constant crisis and fear of various sudden dangerous situations" (much like aliens) , it's just that the beast has been replaced by a flood, but the tension is greater than that.
The adventure of a small team going deep into the bottom of the ship in order to survive "(much like the destruction of the center of the earth, which has to conquer dangerous unknown areas in order to survive) these are classic commercial film elements that have been proved countless times, as well as the computer special effects that the whole ship capsized 180 °, which is absolutely shocking! Such a scene is enough to show that the special effects team of the film is not vegetarian.
But he didn't do the most basic thing well. He didn't tell the story well. The story is the foundation of the film. The soul of the film. The rest is just branches and leaves. If he didn't even tell the story well, it's no wonder the audience didn't sell accounts. With his success, mark went to Shentai, while Wolfgang was dejected.
