Entertainment: Start with Succubus and play Hollywood

《"Pirates of the Caribbean" became a hit, and it became a hit amid the criticism from film critics.

As a result, the poor box office of the unfortunate"Hulk" was once again squeezed, and it was even worse than the performance of the same period in the original timeline.

Also, before there was"My Life", after that there was"Pirates of the Caribbean", and soon"The Impostor" will be released.

In other words, there will be Martin~ movies released before, after, and at the end of the screening period of"The Incredible Hulk".

Li's hands were numb, and he felt like he was going to rush into the street, and then he remembered Martin's invitation.

But he hesitated, wondering if Martin would use himself to film"Brokeback Mountain" after he failed once.

Universal's top executives are having an emergency meeting

"Who set this schedule? Why does it have to be released at the same time as Martin's movie, huh?"

"Well, it's Kevin Johnson, but he's been fired"

"That idiot, I really don’t know why he keeps targeting Martin?"

"Mr. Director, he and Martin had a conflict before, it was like this……"

"Damn it, shouldn't such people should have been fired a long time ago? Why wait until now?"

Universal's general manager, who has always been strong in the outside world, shrank his neck and cursed Kevin Johnson in his heart.

Fortunately, the topic quickly changed. After all, the failure of"The Incredible Hulk" is a foregone conclusion, and no amount of discussion will bring back the box office.

"We're already in talks to buy DreamWorks, but Spielberg hasn't given the nod yet. He seems to want to wait until the new movie comes out next year."

"new movie? Is it the"Ready Player One" film adapted from Martin's novel? Tell me what Spielberg means. He doesn’t want to sell, but he still wants to raise the price."

"They probably want to raise the price. Now that the three giants of DreamWorks have become inseparable, they can't sustain it."

"It's okay to raise the price... then just wait. By the way, let’s release the news about the acquisition first and let our media heat up the news."

In his eyes, DreamWorks is only worth about one billion, so how far can it go if it raises the price? The key is that he is on the board of directors and belongs to the group that opposes the acquisition of DreamWorks. If it weren't for"Hulk" Failure, Universal really needs some exciting news to boost its stock price, and he doesn’t even want to mention this issue.

In Martin's luxurious bedroom, Keira Knightley was exhausted. Fortunately, Biyou and Heather were there to help push her back.

Martin hummed a little tune:...and my spear shot out like a dragon, the world shook, a roar broke through the sky, the spear pierced the clouds...

After the song, Keira Knightley curled up in Martin's arms, while stroking Martin with her white fingers chest, and said:"Martin, what do you think the box office of"Pirates of the Caribbean" will be on the first weekend?"

Martin tightened his arms and smiled:"At least 40 million US dollars."

He is very confident about his box office appeal. Have confidence.

The fact was as he expected, no, it should be better than he thought.

After three days of its opening weekend,"Pirates of the Caribbean" has grossed $66.63 million at the box office, which is not as good as"The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" and"Spider-Man," which broke over $100 million in the first weekend, but it is still high. The box office.

After its first full weekend, the box office of"Pirates of the Caribbean" easily exceeded 100 million, reaching $128 million.

In the second full week, the box office began to decline sharply, but with 32.4 million, it was still the box office champion this week. The box office of"The Incredible Hulk" has fallen below 10 million, with only a pitiful 7.7 million. early august

《"The Matrix 2" is released, with a North American box office of 499 million and a global box office of 656 million. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Compared with"The Matrix","Pirates of the Caribbean" performed better in the international market, in England, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Australia, Japan and Kimchi Country both won the box office championship in the same period.

In the words of The Times:"The success of"Pirates of the Caribbean" is not accidental, but benefits from the perfect presentation of multiple dimensions. The film's storyline is full of twists and turns and thrills. Martin Meyers' superb performance, With his unique charm and sense of humor, he created a Captain Jack Sparrow full of rebellious spirit. The carefully prepared costume design and visual scenes gave the audience an immersive feeling. In addition, Martin Meyers' The classic soundtrack has also become one of the hallmarks of the film."

On the Internet, a post was highly praised.

The content of the post is just one sentence:"David Denbigh and Roger Ebert, have you seen that"Pirates of the Caribbean" has begun the road to dominate the oceans, please witness with us the moment when it reaches the peak of the king.."

As the box office performance of"Pirates of the Caribbean" continues to rise, film critics who are unwilling to fail are increasingly attacking it.

Roger Ebert:"What disappointed me was not what was in the film, but what was missing. It was obvious that"Pirates of the Caribbean" was just a children's film with grander special effects, but the core of the story was still old-fashioned. Adventure + love, this is a movie without any meaning."

David Denbigh:"The vulgar plot of"Pirates of the Caribbean" makes people unable to sympathize with it, and there are too many digital special effects pictures that will make people feel that this is an adventure electronic movie. Game, Martin Meyers' performance in the film is nothing special, I just saw artificiality, this is a worse pirate movie than"Cutthroat Island"!"

Another film critic wrote,"The film is not particularly bad, but it is really lackluster. It is a mediocre work, like a children's poem without charm."

However, these negative reviews did not affect the film's box office trend at all.

For seven consecutive weeks,"Pirates of the Caribbean" has dominated the North American box office charts, and no one can shake it.

It seems that the harsher the critics are, the more popular the film will be in the market.

The era of film critics calling the shots is over. Even if they don’t want to admit it, even if they still want to struggle, that’s the fact.

Amid the criticism from film critics, Martin joined the crew of"Pirates of the Caribbean" in the last of the four promised promotional stops - New York.

When those routine projects were over, he sat in the press lobby of the Lincoln Center Grand Theater, waiting for questions from reporters.

At this time, a short, fat, middle-aged white male wearing black-rimmed glasses stood up and asked without waiting for the host of the press conference to choose a reporter:

"Hello, Mr. Meyers, I'm David Denbigh, a staff correspondent for The New Yorker and a member of the New York Film Critics Circle."

He spoke in a shrill voice and spoke very fast, giving the host no chance to interrupt.

"I wonder if you have read the media reviews of"Pirates of the Caribbean" during this time? Most critics thought the film was mediocre, and your appearance in the film was a huge letdown."

"I don’t know why, but it seems that since you entered high school, you have plunged into commercial blockbusters and never contributed those deep roles. As one of the best child actors in Hollywood in the past decade, Martin, don't you think you should dedicate more meaningful movies to the audience instead of such popcorn movies?"

David Denbigh's question was very sharp, and he... indeed seemed to reveal Martin's tendency in film choices in recent years - commercial films.

Keira Knightley looked over worriedly.

Martin hid The hand under the table gently patted Kayla’s thigh and whispered:"There’s no need to worry."
