The autumn file is the most deserted and boring time of the year. On the one hand, the noisy summer file has just ended, and on the other hand, the lively holiday file is about to debut; at the same time, the awards season has just kicked off, and the first to be released is The pathfinder is mainly based on chess pieces, the market downturn and the relative inferiority of the works have completely settled the film market in September and October.

When "Crazy Love" chose to be released in October, some people ridiculed that it was a period of exile. At least 90% of the works were like this. The works abandoned by the distribution company and the dead horses of the producers were used as live horses. The works of medicine, the works that were used as strikers in the award season, and the works that were abandoned but were not willing to invest in the water, all gathered here.

Occasionally, 10% of the works may occasionally be an exception. The publishing company has spotted the deserted autumn files and specially arranged for the selection of works to be released at this time, hoping to make a fortune off-season-because the competition is not too fierce and the market surplus is relatively ample At the same time, there is no need to invest too much cost in the issuance, and the effect can be as expected.

Regardless of the reason, the two works "Gravity" and "Ace of Reversal" were officially released on the same Friday. Leaving aside other things, at least one is Renly and Rooney, and the other is Affleck and Justin. Both of these works can be called high-standard casts led by big names, and the topics are still guaranteed.

Therefore, even if there is no grievance between Lanly and Affleck, the media reporters still can't wait to hype.

The first is Lan Li's side.

Reporters dug up Lan Li’s remarks during the awards season at the beginning of this year, "I like Lee more." When Lan Li was asked which one of the best director alternate members of the Directors Guild preferred, he replied like this. To.

Later, after the Oscar nomination list was released, someone mentioned the topic of Affleck’s absent nomination, and Lan Li still maintained his own clear stance, “I don’t think it deserves such a violent discussion. Obviously, he is an outstanding person. Is he a director? Yes; but is he a director who is so good that he is embarrassed and even angry because of his absence from the nomination? No.

In February, these remarks caused a lot of turmoil in the industry.

However, the mainstream speech at the time was to fight injustice and propaganda for Affleck. Warner Bros. is trying to use Affleck's loss of the best director nomination to gain sympathy points and strive to "escape from Tehran" in the fight for the best film in the Little Golden Man. In the middle of seizing the opportunity, Lan Li's remarks were handled low-key and fleeting.

Now, the media reporters have mentioned it again, fearing that the world will not mess up, calling Lan Li a talented actor who "disdains Affleck". If you trace the source of the news, people can find that "Entertainment Weekly" is not "U.S. Weekly", but the "Entertainment Weekly" that created the "hype door". They are back!

In fact, Lanly’s complete interview also mentioned his own views and opinions on "escaping from Tehran", "it is not the 2001 Space Odyssey" after all. This is Lanly’s point of view.

In 1968, after the "2001 A Space Odyssey" was released, it won a lot of exclamation and praise from the industry, but this sci-fi work failed to win the favor of the college judges.

At the Oscars ceremony the following year, it received four nominations for best director, best original screenplay, best visual effects, and best art direction. In the end, it only won the best visual effects figurine-that year's The Best Director and Best Picture Golden Man were both won by "Oliver" adapted from "Orphans in the Fog".

In fact, Lan Li’s memory was slightly off. He thought that "2001: A Space Odyssey" also missed the best director nomination and won the best picture nomination above the Oscars, and the status of "Escape from Tehran" is definitely not comparable to that of film history. "2001 A Space Odyssey", so there is no need to make a fuss.

But the real situation did not happen at the Oscars, but the British Academy Awards.

In the same year, "2001 Space Odyssey" received four nominations for best film, best photography, best art direction, and best soundtrack at the British Academy Awards, and finally won three trophies-in addition to the best film, the United Kingdom that year The best film and best director of the Academy Awards were all won by the "graduates" who were screened the previous year.

All in all, Lanly believes that "escape from Tehran" is indeed good, but it will take time to test whether it can reach the height of history; but the reporters consciously ignored this part and suddenly became Lanly and Afu. Lake's tit-for-tat, the smell of gunpowder immediately began to permeate.

Next is Affleck's side.

The reporters repeatedly attacked Affleck’s "facial paralysis acting skills", such as asking if Affleck envied Renly’s acting talent, or whether Affleck appreciated Renly’s EGOT at such a young age, or whether Affleck would like to complete EGOT so young Is Lake willing to perform on the same stage with Lan Li?

Questions like this, both inside and outside of the words, are stinging Affleck's acting skills, and then further use the trap problem to create sharp contradictions.

The reporters constantly challenged Affleck's bottom line during the interview, and finally Affleck, who became angry and furious, said firmly, "I don't know. Because I haven't watched his work. So, is he an excellent actor or is he? A terrible actor, how could I know. Maybe someone likes his contrived performance?"

The reporters then reported the remarks straightforwardly, causing an uproar.

Because under the deliberate guidance between the lines of the reporter, everyone thought that Affleck had spoken out loud and had never watched Lan Li’s works. This was indeed a bit deceptive; but in fact, the reporter’s question was an Oscar-nominated work, which was vague. The arrogance and arrogance created after the key information immediately made the problem more subtle.

Later, Affleck came forward again to clarify, “I just haven’t watched the three works of Buried Alive, Crazy Love and Transcendence, because of various accidents. But I did watch Edge of Tomorrow and "I am anti-cancer," and I have reported great expectations for the upcoming "Gravity". I hope everyone will not distort my meaning."

But... the injury has already been done, and it still seems not fast enough to make up for it. The atmosphere of tit-for-tat and inconsistency has been ignited under the deliberate operation of the media.

In any case, the stagnant water in the autumn archives was finally caused by the smell of the gunpowder of the two works, so that people began to wonder if Warner Bros. and 20th Century Fox contributed to such a situation.

Warner Bros. is striving for further cooperation with Affleck, but Affleck and Twentieth Century Fox took the lead in reaching a cooperation agreement on two works; Renley is about to cooperate with Warner Bros. on another work, but Kevin-Tsujihara We are hoping to remove the imprint of Ren Li’s influence on Warner Bros. On the other side, Twentieth Century Fox hopes to cooperate with Ren Li.

Of course, the gossip and grievances behind these are all just speculations. The actual situation presented is that after a long absence in October, it started to become lively.

On Friday, "U.S. Weekly" sent out interns to conduct observations and statistics at the gates of major chain cinemas in five major cities, including Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Houston, and Seattle, not for the purpose of investigating "gravity" and "reversal trump card." Box office data, but to observe the audience flow.

The downturn and silence of the autumn file is the trend of the entire film market and industry, rather than the responsibility of a specific movie or two movies. The current record holder "Smart: Ghost Record 3", the highest record holder in the box office for the weekend of the autumn file, The recorded figure is only 52.5 million U.S. dollars. It barely crossed the ultra-low threshold of 50 million U.S. dollars, which is really unsatisfactory for today's film market.

This time, "U.S. Weekly" hopes to test and see: What is the stimulating effect of the publicity effect on the autumn file?

From the premiere of "Gravity" to create history, to the "sworn divorce" between Renly and Affleck, to traffic superstars like Justin in the age of social networks, and finally-and the most important Renly Hall, Countless industry experts believe that Lanly has the hope of becoming a box office superstar who relies on personal charm to shake up the box office market like Harrison Ford and Tom Cruise. After breaking away from the hotbed of summer vacation, will Lanly’s appeal still be powerful? ?

After all the factors are added together, how many effects can be triggered? Is it possible to break the shackles of the autumn stalls and become a box office enlightenment for the movie market in a different way?

Of course, they are only responsible for investigations. As for market rules and cause analysis, this is the job of the experts.

"U.S. Weekly" conducted incomplete statistics on 23 movie theaters in five cities~www.novelhall.com~ mainly calculated the passenger flow of about one hour to two hours during the peak period, but the results were particularly gratifying!

"The average passenger flow has increased by at least three times!"

According to a sample survey, the passenger flow of movie theaters in the downtown area of ​​the city during peak hours is about twice as high, and the attendance rate can reach 60% or even 70%; while the movie theaters in the remote areas of the city have increased by four times or even It is more than five times more than five times. In previous years, even in peak periods, the attendance rate was less than 10%. It is a high probability event, but now it can approach the 50% attendance rate——

"It's almost the same as summer. I mean, June and July are even more lively than August." This is the original interview of the cinema manager.

This is just a sample survey, showing an explosive trend of passenger flow, which cannot represent the specific box office numbers; but at least it can be seen that after a long absence, the film market on Friday began to boom again, and the enthusiasm for movie watching reignited , And the Friday box office numbers released subsequently gave strong support——

The Friday box office of the entire market broke the 100 million threshold incredible! This is the first time in North American film history!
