Best Movie Star

There is an eight-year-old boy inside everyone, and Transformers is the ticket to bring that boy out.

"Transformers" is not only a movie, but also a mark of an era behind it, full of people's longing for sci-fi in an era, and the development of the film industry has been able to present this robot war to the screen. , which in itself is a cinematic milestone.

Of course, although "Transformers" itself has many defects of poor rhythm control, most of the time the movie is to make one classic after another that can only be seen in dreams, and become real as if it is within reach. It is because of this It's wonderful, when Optimus Prime and Decepticons fight fiercely on the screen, the blood of American heroism can best burst out here.

So, the film's big sale comes naturally.

Over the first three days of its first weekend, "Transformers" took $92.1 million from North America, far exceeding the $75 million expected by Paramount Pictures.

And, surprisingly, a huge number of fans have joined the ranks of supporting Megatron and Decepticons, and it seems that the villains are more popular than the decent.

"How do you say it? A lot of fans are fervently supporting Megatron."

Inside Paramount’s office, CEO Brad Gray looked at Spielberg across from him and said, “A lot of people have left messages on Paramount’s official website asking for a Megatron independent film.”

Spielberg pushed up his glasses, "It's a chain reaction from Matthew Horner."

Brad Gray nodded lightly, "We didn't expect that Matthew Horner's personal appeal was beyond imagination."

"The opening weekend box office speaks volumes," Spielberg said.

"Yeah, the first weekend box office exceeded expectations by $17 million." Brad Gray elaborated, "The original estimate of $75 million has been a conclusion drawn by Paramount Pictures through a combination of various factors, and it will also be Matthew Horner's appeal is fully factored in, but..."

He couldn't help shaking his head, "We still underestimated Matthew Horner. This extra $17 million is not to say that all of it came from Matthew Horner's market call, and most of it is like this."

Spielberg smiled. "Every dollar DreamWorks paid for Matthew Horner was worth it."

"Well, it's really worth it."

Brad Gray couldn't help thinking of Tom Cruise, who has long cooperated with Paramount Pictures. Paramount Pictures invests so much money in him every year. Is the return worth it? Although Tom Cruise is a superstar, in the past two years, his business appeal is significantly worse than that of Matthew Horner.

Even if it doesn't count the salary, the annual cooperation fee that Paramount Pictures has to pay to Tom Cruise is as high as 10 million US dollars. If you include the salary, Tom Cruise is simply sucking Paramount Pictures. Blood.

It's okay to **** blood, but what's the return he brings to Paramount Pictures?

Thinking of this, Brad Gray asked, "Steven, aren't you considering developing a separate series for Megatron?"

"This..." Spielberg put down the camera, that is a standard businessman, "There is no plan for this at the moment, but it can be considered."

Then, he found another dilemma. The reason why Megatron is so popular is, on the one hand, the inherent popularity support, and on the other hand, it comes from the voice actors.

DreamWorks is already preparing to develop a sequel. There is no Matthew Horner in the sequel plan. After all, his dubbing salary is too high, but without Matthew Horner, will Megatron come back?

Continuing with Matthew Horner's words, he felt that Helen Herman, the insatiable woman, dared to ask for twenty million dollars in dubbing pay.

This is indeed a difficult problem, and I will have to study it carefully with Michael Bay back.

After chatting for a while, Spielberg left Paramount Pictures, Brad Gray thought about it, and called his assistant, "Wundt, I remember Matthew Horner and Larry some time ago. - Ellison's son is going to make a movie together, go check it out."

The assistant over there obviously understood the situation and said directly, "They bought the follow-up copyright of the "Fast and Furious" series from Universal Pictures and are preparing to invest in the production. The director was just finalized at the end of last month."

Brad Gray went on to ask, "Have they talked about a release?"

"Probably not." The assistant continued, "I haven't heard any news about this."

Brad Gray ordered, "Okay, you go check it out, and if they don't sign a distribution agreement, let the people from the distribution department contact them to see if they can get the release of Matthew Horner's new work. right."

After cutting off the phone, he sat at his desk and thought for a while. Paramount Pictures couldn't just rely on Tom Cruise, and it was time to find a new star to replace Tom Cruise.

If it weren't for Tom Cruise holding the rights to the "Mission Impossible" series, he would have kicked Tom Cruise out.

Matthew Horner might be a better addition than Tom Cruise.

"Transformers" was a big hit at the box office in its first week. Naturally, there will be no lack of attention from the entertainment media. In addition to the film itself, many media reports have focused on Matthew, who believes that his dubbing has brought a kind of sound to Megatron. The wild and domineering leadership temperament is more attractive than the quiet and reserved Optimus Prime.

There are also media claims that the movies starring Matthew Horner sell well, and the dubbed movies can also sell well, and his market appeal cannot be ignored!

Even, in an interview with Cinema’s founder Ed Mintz, he exaggeratedly said: As long as Matthew Horner can be invited to star, any movie will have at least a $15 million first weekend box office guarantee.

Matthew did not expect that the first weekend box office of "Transformers" turned out to be so good. The first week box office of more than 90 million US dollars, as long as the follow-up trend does not collapse, the North American box office may exceed 300 million US dollars. Michael Bay can also turn over. , completely get rid of the bad luck since the new century.

Of course, this is also beneficial to him. It can further prove his vision for selecting films and projects, and it can also allow more people to follow in his footsteps.

However, it is not easy to pass "Alien Battlefield" to Brad Pitt.

After seeing the box office statistics of "Transformers" in the first week, Matthew also specially looked at the word-of-mouth of the film. The box-office and word-of-mouth are very consistent with his style.

According to the statistics of the popular film review website "Rotten Tomatoes", the favorable rating of "Transformers" is only 57%, which can be described as mixed. ", but the visuals in this film are amazing and the action scenes are super cool."

Most of the film's positive reviews came from the visual effects and action scenes; while the criticism came from the plot and characters, many well-known film critics gave it Rotten Tomatoes.

The famous film critic Roger Ebert, in particular, sneered at the film with unprecedented vitriol.

“Watching Transformers was a horrific experience, unbearably long, with three or four brief moments of fun, and all of that little fun. If you want to save money on tickets, go into the kitchen, Play a male vocal song to **** music, banging on pots and pans, close your eyes and let your imagination run wild—a tall, slow-moving movie idiot."

"The plot is inexplicable, and the dialogue is so stupid that it doesn't make sense. The Brooklyn, British and hip-hop accents of the Autobots and Decepticons seem like they're from a distant planet, and they look more like they're from a garbage dump. , as taciturn as a stone, and the human characters in the film, while more interesting, are actually less commendable."

"The battle scenes in the film are confusing and confusing, and there is no visual sense when looking at the model alone, but when two or three robots are entangled together, it produces a particularly chaotic scene. I think it is particularly interesting that a robot standing up to a height of four floors will also They fight with their fists, they are usually silent and their heads are pitifully small, like being hit in the head by a frying pan while watching paint dry..."

If a movie had been attacked and ridiculed by Roger Ebert more than ten or twenty years ago~www.readwn.com~, the box office would not have been much better, but the era of film critics has finally passed, even if Roger - Albert's influence is still very large, and the main audience of commercial films, but few people care about the comments of film critics.

If you choose movies to watch according to the reviews of movie critics, you will not find a few movies that can make people happy to watch.

All the negative comments in the showdown between Optimus Prime and Megatron were as vulnerable as the soap bubbles blown by a child, which could be easily burst. In the following week, the film "Transformers" continued to rage Radical, after taking $50.2 million the next weekend, the North American box office easily exceeded the $200 million mark.

Anyone can see that $300 million is definitely not the North American box office limit for this film.

At the same time, DreamWorks Studios and Paramount Pictures also officially announced that the second part of "Transformers" has been put on the schedule of the two companies.

DreamWorks also got in touch with Helen Herman and seemed to want to explore the possibility of Matthew continuing to dub Megatron. Edge immediately backed away.

Whether DreamWorks will continue to contact later, Matthew does not care.

He came to Warners Studios to begin final preparations for "Hancock for All," which began filming in mid-July.

The film has been in preparation since last year. If it hadn't been coordinated with his schedule, it would have started shooting last month. Matthew has always had a good reputation in the crew, and he has paid great attention to this aspect. "When the crew started, they temporarily put aside other things and devoted themselves to the work of this film.
