No one will forget that the opening of the blockbuster era officially started with "Independence Day", and the subsequent "Titanic" only further pushed this wave to its peak; but no one will forget the Oscars ceremony not long ago. Above, the two works "Perfect" and "L.A. Confidential" are precisely the greatest resistance against the "Titanic".

Now, a "Trumen's World" alludes to the sadness and cruelty of entertainment to death, pushing the era of commercial blockbusters led by "Titanic" to the trial!

This is not only a continuation of the recent frenzy of reformists and conservatives, but also a true and ironic presentation of the status quo of entertainment to death with the story of "Trumen Burbank". The cruelty of human soul and blood unreservedly broke out, allowing the controversy after the arrival of the blockbuster era to be completely and comprehensively revealed in all aspects of the best future bodyguard.

This is a very interesting thing. Truman Burbank itself is an entertainment product. He was adopted by an organization and became a product in the organization's image. The packaging was carefully crafted in the hope of attracting more interests for himself. In fact, it is the same as a movie. , The film company is responsible for production and distribution, seeking public praise, seeking awards, and seeking box office, the ultimate goal is to win profits.

Therefore, the program group in the movie has always built Trumen according to the products. They control the life curve of Trumen, control the emotional trend of Trumen, control the development of Trumen’s life, and even control Trumen’s thoughts and concepts. Let the product really impress the audience. It's like shooting a movie, treating all the characters as puppets, and then setting off the atmosphere from multiple angles such as setting, lighting, photography, clothing, makeup, etc., and finally achieves the purpose of attracting audiences to enter the cinema.

But the program team ignored one thing, the most important thing: Truman is not only an entertainment product, but also a living person, a living being with self-thought and self-soul. This is also the part that the program group has absolutely no control over, and it is precisely the part that determines the quality of the "commodity".

Just like a popcorn commercial blockbuster, when the crew controls the movie from all aspects, but loses its focus in the core, most important, and most connotative part, the story is reduced to only visual special effects, explosive effects, and magnificent pictures. The carrier has gone from "Independence Day" to "Titanic", and is gone forever on this road, losing the meticulousness of the "L.A. Confidential" style, and the exquisite reality of the "perfect perfection" style. If the spiritual power of "Forrest Gump" is lost, the pioneering innovation of "Pulp Fiction" is lost, and the historical reflection of "Schindler's List" is lost, then these commercial blockbusters will gradually become an empty shell. Like a walking dead, it is not only difficult to impress the audience, but will gradually be lost in the long river of history.

Truman-Burbank, in fact, refers to movie merchandise, and the dilemma that Truman faces in movies is the confusion and dilemma that the movie industry encounters at the crossroads of entertainment to death.

In fact, this is not just a recent controversy between reformers and conservatives. It can be traced back to the beginning of the commercial genre movie frenzy triggered by films such as "Jaws", "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones". , The film industry has always been controversial about this-the essence is the paradox of finding a balance between commercial films and artistic films.

Later, in the late 1980s, after the agency increased the pay of actors by a large margin, the cost of the film rose rapidly, and this controversy reached a new peak; now with "Independence Day" and "Titanic" the box office market The potential is tapped, and the focus topic has erupted like a volcano.

In "Trumen's World", Peter Will ended with Trumen's going out, but he did not really show the picture behind the ending, because Peter knew clearly that challenging the unknown is very scary and everyone is afraid of change , But if you refuse to change and just stick to your own security field in an unconventional way, then it will only be a matter of time before the arrival of demise. Therefore, Peter hopes that Truman will go out—just like audiences in a movie theater. Can commercial blockbusters in the real world “go out”?

There is no doubt that "Trumen's World" in the form of dark fairy tales, absurdly and strangely presents the two topics of entertainment to death and freedom to death, and it also deeply and strongly conveys the tragedy of this absurd reality. It was conveyed that the frenzy of controversy that had temporarily fallen back because of the Oscars was once again revived.

Under such circumstances, the media review reached an incredible 96 points. From the side, you can also see the opinions of film critics. Although the "Titanic" is expected to reach the Oscars, people in the circle are very concerned about it. The development trend of the film industry has always been the same: whether it is a commercial film or an art film, it is most important to focus all energy on the work itself, whether it is a commercial film or an art film. The spirit of entertainment to death will only make the movie go to death step by step.

The super high score of 96 points not only completes this year’s classic comedies such as "Slim Daddy" and "Ghost in Disguise," but also famous comedies in film history-such as "Modern Times" and "City" "Light" and "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth"-far behind, even in all types of movies, it also has a high position in the forefront, all of which makes "Trumen's World" head up into the classics of film history Ranks.

The outstanding performance of the media review represents the attitude of the film critics, while the theater score represents the feedback of the audience.

However, since this is only the premiere, there are less than a thousand audiences who can enter the scene to watch "Trumen's World", so the cinema score is not universal. Only after the full screening is held, the interview sample reaches a certain level. After the number, this score can have reference value for the latest chapters of extraordinary prehistoric times.

But even so, the "a+" theater score after the premiere of "Trumen's World" shocked everyone. This is almost equal to the audience giving the movie the highest praise and the media's full score of 100. There is no difference in points. As a comedy film-even if it is only the premiere, it can be said to be the highest praise that cannot be copied.

It has always been the most difficult thing to make the audience laugh. What is even more difficult is that after making the audience laugh, they can also impress the audience and make the audience give a thumbs up to the work. Throughout the history of filming, there is absolutely no more than one hand that can win such a prize.

Now, "Trumen's World" has done it again. This work known as the "dark fairy tale" has won word of mouth and praise. Of course, the current statistical sample is only less than a thousand people. With the full release of the movie, the theater score is bound to decline, but it is in the middle. After the premiere of the National Theater, a very interesting statistics appeared: the number of people asking about the pre-sale tickets of "Trumen's World" actually reached an incredible 20,000 people!

Of course, there is no pre-sale tickets for "Trumen's World". Now Hollywood can sell only a handful of works for movie theaters. Even "Independence Day" and "Titanic" have no pre-sale tickets, only "Jurassic" Park 2: The Lost World" such a movie with a series of works can allow theaters to sell pre-sale tickets.

The main reason is that commercial blockbusters still have not risen across the board, and the concept of "pre-sale tickets" has not been fully popularized. People do not think that there is a movie that needs to be purchased in advance. It is enough to buy on the spot on the same day-"Independence Day" "The sight of empty streets and hard-to-find votes has only appeared once so far.

In the next few days, more and more people asked about the pre-sale tickets of "Trumen's World". According to box office statistics, the pre-sale box office of "Trumen's World" had already reached as high as 800,000 US dollars. For now, it's not just incredible, it's a situation that no one can imagine.

Although the current theater scores are still not universal, the non-existent "pre-sale tickets" proves that "Trumen's World" cannot replace the important position in the minds of audiences.

At the same time, the combination of "Trumen's World" and the hot topics in the past few months has once again reached its peak, and it has made countless viewers have a huge enthusiasm for this film, which makes people feel about this work. The box office results on the premiere weekend were met with great expectations.

In contrast, the "Super Perfect Murder", which premiered on the same day, was completely in a neglected dilemma. According to the media reports on June 2nd, "Trumen's World" was more than enough. There are more than four hundred articles, and there are only less than one hundred pieces of news about the "super-perfect murder"-and this is still in the case of Warner Bros. doing its best to promote it, which can almost be described as deserted.

The propaganda power of Warner Bros. far exceeds that of Paramount Pictures but the momentum presented by the two films has completely changed positions, in the "Super Perfect Murder", confident and ambitious. Under circumstances, such a result can be said to be unacceptable.

Even more frightening is that the media reviews and theater scores of "Super Perfect Murder" are very bad, although many people have expected such an ending-wanting to be comparable to the works starring Hugo Lancaster, This can definitely be said to be a small probability event; but the media review of "Super Perfect Murder" with only 50 points is really too bad, not to mention that it is compared with "Trumen's World", even for the work itself. In all, it is an unacceptable evaluation, especially under the cover of such a strong cast of the movie, this result becomes even more incredible.

The cinema score is only a barely passing "c", which proves that the audience has no interest in this work.

Under such a situation, the box office prospects of the premiere weekend of "Super Perfect Murder" have become precarious. Let alone confrontation with "Trumen's World", it can even be said that it is impossible to protect itself! Now, Warner Bros. can only expect that the appeal of Gwyneth Paltrow and Michael Douglas can make the film’s premiere box office explode more potential.

In the first week of June, the North American box office is booming!
