Rise back 684 a war post

Nicholas has been thinking about how to write the news about the "speed of life and death" this time. He and Hugo chatted for a while, but he did not get any useful information. If he were to write news, it would be a cliché. Especially when this point of the script has been written by the "New York Times", Nicholas felt that there was nothing new. {Please search in Baidu, the first full text to read}

However, after reading these news, Nicholas suddenly had an idea. He felt that perhaps it was a turning point to turn the habitual questioning of the media into habitual praise. Perhaps it was a good time. After all, he is no longer alone in fighting. In addition to the "U.S. Weekly" which has always been dominated by gossip news, the addition of the three major newspapers, "The New York Times," "The Wall Street Journal," and the "Washington Post", will undoubtedly bring power between Hugo and the media. The contrast has changed again-it's just that the media who have been bitterly suppressed by the "witch trial" will have no day to turn around.

After thinking about it, Nicholas started typing on the typewriter, "Choose an unusual masterpiece..." But looking at the title, he felt that it was not strong enough. The overall feeling was weaker. After hesitating, he took the paper. I pulled it off, and then changed a piece of paper. After careful consideration, I hit the headline, "Another 100 million dollar birth?"

Looking at this title, Nicholas remembered Hugo's ridiculous smile, "You said, if I think the box office of'Life and Death Speed' will definitely exceed 100 million U.S. dollars, what would everyone think?" Hugo said. When speaking, they were more joking, ridiculing the media's repeated mistrust of me, mocking the status quo that I still can't be trusted for several good works, but I didn't complain, it was just a joke.

However, from Hugo’s words, Nicholas heard Hugo’s strong self-confidence. His first reaction was that Hugo was crazy, but after careful consideration, Nicholas felt strangely that this might become a reality! , Why didn't he believe in Hugo once and take a gamble?

"The trajectory of the worst actor winner of the Golden Raspberry Award, Hugo Lancaster, in 1992, no one could have predicted; Hugo Lancaster, who was caught in a series of negative news after losing the double nominations for the Golden Globe Awards No one could predict the trajectory in 1993; then, the trajectory of Hugo Lancaster, who was nominated for the Golden Globe for the second consecutive second in a row, was among the first time in the Oscar decisive battle stage in 1994. Can anyone predict it?"

Nicholas looked at his opening speech, he couldn't help feeling excited, and his mind was suddenly full of thoughts.

"No one is optimistic about the prospect of'smelling a woman'. Everyone thinks it will be a disaster, but the film won 80 million US dollars at the box office and put Al Pacino on the throne of an Oscar winner; no one We are optimistic about the results of "Yihai Xiongfeng". Everyone thinks that this work is likely to become mediocre. However, the film contributed 170 million US dollars in the box office, and Hugo Lancaster was awarded with eight consecutive championships. The position of the rising star at the box office.

No one is optimistic about the release of "Sleepless in Seattle". Everyone thinks that this will be another boring chick movie. However, the film astounded the audience with a record-breaking $189 million and made people renew I appreciate the charm of love; no one is optimistic about the production of "Schindler's List". Everyone thinks that the subject matter is too heavy and it will lead to all losses. However, the film won a box office of 205 million U.S. dollars at the same time. The best work of the year.

No one looks at the future of 520 Novels. Everyone thinks this is another stupid choice made by Hugo; no one is optimistic about the future of ‘Life and Death Speed’. Everyone thinks that Hugo’s choice is inexplicable and unpredictable...

Why does this happen? Why do people habitually question Lancaster's choice of new works every time?

Because of the Golden Raspberry Award? Because of the three-game losing streak of "Deadly Moment", "Detective Ark", and "Hudson Eagle"? Because Lancaster rejected the $10 million salary? Or because... they dare not Trust Lancaster's vision.

When Lancaster amazed every film critic with superb acting skills time and time again, when Lancaster pushed the film to an excellent position time and time again to welcome the sound of praise, when Lancaster time and time again Once and for all, I have proved that all doubts are unnecessary with my excellent strength. Why does no one see this? This may be the most important question for people to think about.

Since "Yihai Xiongfeng" became the first Lancaster actor career to break 100 million at the box office in North America, he has achieved such results in three consecutive works, and "Schindler's List" has gone further by 200 million. Threshold, this is undoubtedly a huge success. Even after Tom Cruise became a national idol by relying on "High Aspirations", he has not achieved such an achievement. So now, can Lancaster perform further miracles?

Leaving aside Quentin Tarantino’s innumerable “Pulp Fiction” that is full of uncertainty, this time the typical action movie “Life and Death Speed” can continue the Lancaster myth and once again push the film’s North American box office to the top 100 million dollars in data? I choose to believe in Lancaster, how about you?" Nicholas couldn't help showing a wry smile when he looked at the article he had finished typing. In fact, he looked at the "100 million dollars" data and felt a little guilty in his heart. , "Life and death hour" is a congenital shortcoming that requires a box office of over 100 million. It really can only rely on Hugo's box office appeal alone. This is too difficult, and people can't help but feel weak.

However, Nicholas took a deep breath and strengthened his belief. He felt that this press release was enough to clearly express all his thoughts. He also believed that the media colleagues would respond most violently to this report, perhaps , This is the second wave of propaganda about "Life and Death".

In the press release, Nicholas did not specify that the goal of "100 million U.S. dollars" was mentioned by Hugo, because Nicholas knew that Hugo was not an aggressive personality. He would say so in conversations. On the one hand, there is trust in oneself, on the other hand, there is some ridicule in the ridicule.

Now, Nicholas’s manuscript has been posted to all the media that questioned it, almost just saying “Let’s bet,'Can the box office of life and death exceed 100 million...”, so Nicholas feels no It is necessary to involve Hugo, but to bring up this idea from his standpoint.

Sure enough, as Nicholas expected, the "Los Angeles Times" report immediately set off stormy waves after the publication of this report, which also made the editor-in-chief of the "Los Angeles Times" happy, although their news coverage was a step slower than other media. , But the topic effect created is several times that of others, which is definitely a cost-effective deal.

In an instant, "Can the North American box office exceed 100 million yuan per hour..." has become the hottest topic in the last week. According to incomplete statistics, a total of 19 media have participated in the discussion on this topic, although "variety shows" and " Professional media such as "Hollywood Report" did not participate. Most of the topics discussed were daily and weekly media, but they still pushed the topic's popularity to a high level.

The media that believes that the "speed of life" box office is absolutely impossible to exceed $100 million. The media is led by the "New York Post". There are a total of fifteen media outlets. This almost occupies an overwhelming advantage. It can also be seen from this that the current media The overall trend of Hugo's views is still in the stage of habitual questioning.

"The New York Post" said, "An action movie that only invested 28 million US dollars, but hopes to become a work of the level of'Terminator', this is undoubtedly an impossible task. Perhaps, this will become another Once the "Hudson Eagle" hurt, the Golden Raspberry Award is already in sight."

The media that stated that "Life and Death Speed" has the ability to break through the 100 million threshold at the box office was led by the "Los Angeles Times" and supported by the "Wall Street Journal", "Washington Post" and "U.S. Weekly." The "New York Times" did not participate. During the discussion on this topic.

The "Wall Street Journal" comment is very representative, "Hugo Lancaster has reached the height of a box office superstar, and his ability to pull the box office is no less than that of today's top actors, just for Hugo Lancaster. In Castor, there are thousands of girls who are willing to go into the cinema to watch the "speed of life and death"."

The intensity of the topic this time also aroused heated discussions on radio programs. According to an inaccurate survey, ~www.readwn.com~ immediately sampled 438 street people from Los Angeles, New York and Chicago. In the three cities, 58% of the people believed that the box office could not exceed 100 million; the remaining 42% believed that the box office could successfully exceed 100 million.

This shows that the masses are still generally affected by the negative opinions of the news media and are not optimistic about the prospects of "life and death per hour."

But it is worth mentioning that among the 438 people interviewed, more than 86% believed that they were very interested in the "speed of life and death", and only 14% of them There is no idea at all; and among the 86% of the masses, more than half will go directly to the cinema to watch, and the rest will say that they will watch media comments and friends' opinions before deciding whether to enter the cinema.

There is no doubt that this "Los Angeles Times" war post definitely detonated everyone's attention to "speed of life and death." Under such circumstances, a work like "Life and Death Speed" without any focus, when it was launched in early February, it seemed to become one of the most watched works of this year.

So, what kind of response will Hugo make to the provocation of the media this time? The $100 million box office broke or not?
