Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 787: masterpiece

? "What? The first day's box office was 70 million dollars!?"

Although this morning, when he was woken up by his subordinate Philip Beerman on the phone, Robert Iger realized that the box office score of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Gathering Soul Coffin" was about to explode, but to such an extent, it was still beyond him. Unexpected.

"According to this figure, let alone the box office breaking 100 million in the first week, the box office of 100 million US dollars will be able to break through in less than two days. Given the impact of the hijacking incident’s propaganda, it is estimated that it will not last forever-but such results are still exaggerated!"

Robert Iger feels that he can once again raise his psychological expectations for the box office results of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Gathering Soul Coffin".

-You know, because this is a sequel to a successful movie, and because of Charlotte Booth's movie, Disney's internal expectations for it are relatively high.

If a general commercial blockbuster is a success at the box office of US$300 million in North America, then the commercial blockbuster shot by Charlotte Booth should increase by at least 100 million.

Looking at the current momentum, the North American box office performance of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Gathering Soul Coffin" is estimated to be unstoppable at $500 million.

"A little more, maybe it will hit the North American box office of "Titanic"!"

Think about it again, "Titanic" has a North American box office of more than 600 million, but how much does this movie cost?

How long did it take to shoot again! ?

And how much did the "Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy cost? How long did it take to shoot! ?

——This price/performance ratio is obviously a huge difference!

Robert Iger thinks that if the North American box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Gathering Soul Coffin" really can reach 600 million US dollars, his own decisive action to successfully establish this trilogy series will be enough for him. I have been the chairman of Disney Pictures for several years, and I have a chance to compete for the president of the Disney Group...

"No, you can't just want to influence at this time!"

Robert Iger quickly reacted. Now that the success of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is visible to the naked eye, these things he thinks are actually no longer a problem.

——This is a natural and natural thing.

At this time, what he really should be concerned about is whether he should immediately consider establishing the project "Pirates of the Caribbean 4"?

You know, although Charlotte Booth made this series into a trilogy before, only three were made.

Today, the first part of the series has made a lot of money at the box office, and the second box office has made even more exaggerated profits.

Judging from the audience’s questionnaire, their opinions are generally good.

——Although since Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp", including Gary Key's "Two Smoking Guns", multi-line narrative films have flourished, but such films are often The reputation is good, but most of the box office results are not big.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the cost of such movies is generally not high, and the box office performance does not need to be high for the cost to be recovered.

But "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Soul Gathering Coffin" broke this convention.

To play a multi-line narrative in the size of a super commercial blockbuster, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" can almost be said to be the first Hollywood movie.

And because of Charlotte Booth's repeated modifications and excellence, the results obtained are also very good.

Whether it is the audience's reputation or the reputation of film critics, this movie is very high.

Many film critics who were originally very critical of commercial films gave high scores because of the exceptionally successful multi-line narrative in the film.

Among them, Roger Albert’s film review can be said to be a typical——

"For the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean: Gathering Soul Coffin", if you say I support it or not, of course I do!"

"Charlotte Booth's film is indeed the best commercial film I have watched in the past two years."

"——Even last year's "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" and "Lord of the Rings 1" did not reach this level. As for "Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones"..."

After a profound ellipsis, Roger Albert continued to say in his film reviews,

"However, when I participated in the internal screenings organized by Disney before, I actually didn't think so."

"Of course, the internal trial version of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" at that time was already a very good commercial blockbuster.

"It has almost all the elements that a successful commercial blockbuster should have."

"However, I am still a little dissatisfied!"

"—Because this is a Charlotte Booth movie!"

"As we all know, I prefer art films to commercial films."

"As one of the commercial film directors I admire most in recent years, Charlotte Booth did not show the innovation and characteristics that made me shine in the previous trial version of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2". ."

"--Or not performing enough."

"This makes me somewhat dissatisfied."

"However, it is precisely this dissatisfaction that made me feel a rare surprise when I saw "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" last night!"

"He actually turned an already high-quality movie into a masterpiece in a few months through repeated adjustments!!"

Robert Iger felt that he could read out the sense of surprise in Roger Albert’s heart through words.

"Because the strong narrative ability is the inherent characteristic of Charlotte Booth as a director, I will not say more here-what really surprises me is the use of multi-line narrative by the director."

"Yes, it is the use of multi-line narrative, not the multi-line narrative itself!"

"How outstanding is this film dealing with multi-line narrative ~ www.readwn.com~ You only need to watch the movie to know. However, through the lens language and editing by the director, those things hidden in the multi-line narrative process, In my opinion, it is the truly outstanding place in this movie—"

"Through multi-line narrative, Charlotte Booth has relaxed control of the rhythm of telling the story, and under this change of rhythm hidden behind the multi-line narrative, the rhythm of the film gradually accelerates, and then layer by layer. Finally, a climax is formed at the intersection of the story lines."

"——This is why we should have been a little tired after watching this extremely informative and fast-paced movie, but we still want to watch it a second time!"

"Many film critics have said that "Shawshank's Redemption" is a film that controls the audience's emotional rhythm perfectly, so we will be deeply moved after watching that film."

"Now, I want to say that "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is also a film that uses a multi-line narrative rhythm to control the audience's emotions perfectly-a commercial blockbuster-for this reason, even me, After the premiere, I watched it a second time...)
