[US Entertainment] Superstar

It's not an exclusive secret that film critics hate horror movies, it's an industry norm.

Various Hollywood survey data show that movies with good reviews are more likely to make money than movies with bad reviews. There is only one genre that is an exception, and that is horror movies!

The profitability of horror films that are well received by film critics is a quarter or even a fifth of that of other drama and action films.

In the Metacritic database of the famous film critic website, only a few 60 or [-] movies can get high scores, and most horror movies don’t even have a passing score of [-].

The most lucrative horror films generally have ratings in the 30-60 range, and critics' ratings are completely indifferent to horror-thriller movies, so there are no previews for new films at all.

This is not hostility, but indifference.

Audiences do refer to movie reviews when they go to the cinema to watch movies or buy DVDs, but they look more at word-of-mouth and recommendations from friends.

Because the taste gap between the audience and the film critics is very obvious, the content they want to see is fundamentally different. The film critics hope that the more in-depth and connotative the film, the better, but the audience wants to accept the shock simply and straightforwardly. Preferably the one without any brains.

The vast majority of audiences like simple and crude visual scares, only a few like deeper horrors.

"Death is Coming" combines these two situations into one. On the surface, there is no villain, but it can scare the audience into a cold sweat.It does not rely on startled sound effects and sudden images, but allows the audience to feel the plot of the movie immersively. Those scenes where death kills are everyone's daily life.

After watching the movie, you may realize that there are real crises around us, which will make the audience feel the deep malice from the real world.

We all know that it is difficult for a perverted murderer like Jack the Ripper to appear in ordinary life, but "Death Comes" shows a collection of various accidents, and such cases have appeared around everyone, inexplicably because of a small incident Or accidental accident resulting in death.

If the movie continues to be popular, the performance of major airlines may be affected.

Let alone ordinary audiences, even Robert, who had read the script, turned pale with fright at what Huang Yiyu showed, for fear that the accident in the movie would happen to him.

When he came back from the screening room inside New Line Films, Robert drove a lot more carefully and observed traffic safety.

For Eve, the film preview had a good reputation, and the whole pressure was reduced by more than half.She still believes in the eyes of professionals, and even if she misses it, it must be a minority.

"There is another very important thing. Almost Famous casting director Gail Levine has returned to Los Angeles. It is said that Sony Columbia has selected a boy from Utah. In order to create a body and soul For a rock band, director Cameron Crowe invited professionals to train, and there are signs that auditions are about to start. Has your filming schedule changed? Mandy hasn’t given me the new filming schedule yet.”

Robert has been busy with the signing of new actors, but he did not relax his attention on "Almost Famous".

Perhaps it was because Eve's growth was too smooth. Robert always felt that the new actor he was looking for did not go well, and he was not suitable for acting in a movie. Grind it and say it again.

Eve calculated the time: "I still have two scenes to finish shooting temporarily, and then I have a rest period of one or two weeks. The middle period is for Winona's solo shooting and group shooting. Just return to the crew later. To be honest, I don’t know what to prepare, I just listen to rock music every day, read relevant news and autobiography.”

"This is enough. I believe that the rest of the people are the same. They don't know what kind of content the movie needs." Robert comforted: "Relax and relax, even if we miss this movie, we still have many opportunities. Especially in "Death Comes "After the release, there will definitely be many script invitations."

Now he's waiting for the movie to come out so Eve can truly be an actress.It is difficult for actors who have been acting but have not broadcast their works to find suitable new projects.

According to statistics from the Meteorological Observatory, it usually snows in Philadelphia around New Years. However, the crew couldn't wait for that day at all, and would choose another location for filming and move to the Great Lakes area, which is the first place in the United States where it snows.

If it wasn't for cost constraints, they planned to go to Alaska to film.

"That means you must be in Los Angeles when the show premieres, right? Apparently there's no snow anywhere around October 10st."

"If nothing else, that's it. Is there anything I need to do to prepare?"

Robert said: "The first thing is to come back and have a good rest, and then Meimei appears in front of the camera. I am in contact with the public relations of New Line Films. There may be some promotional activities that you need to participate in. At present, they are also talking to various magazines and TV stations. Get in touch to see if you can confirm the schedule."

Movies are inseparable from publicity, even an unknown actor like Eve has to go on a road show with the crew.If the movie becomes popular, it's time for the media to rush to invite actors like them to be on the show together.

"If only our film had a third of the popularity of "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality". Who would have thought that a thriller and horror film could have such a high box office!"

Robert said with emotion that this horror film has been in theaters for eight weeks since the summer, and it is still at the top of the box office. It seems that it will even be screened from August until next year's Oscars.

Who would have thought that a horror movie released in August would become a spoiler for the Halloween schedule at the end of October?

Since its release, this horror film starring the big star Bruce Willis has been leading the box office chart with an astonishing trend and super word-of-mouth. It has won the box office championship for six consecutive weekends. Now the North American box office has reached 2.4 million US dollars. The overseas box office also reached 1.9 million, making it the most favorite movie in the United States this year!

At present, "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality" has come to No.1999 in the North American box office list in 2, second only to "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace", and "Ace Powers 2", "The Matrix", "Apes" Blockbusters such as "Tarzan" and "The Mummy" are firmly under the pressure.

"They have Bruce Willis, they have Haley Joe Osment. We have nothing." Eve actually thinks that these two movies are not of the same type at all. Dee went to the cinema to see the movie.

Even though the final ending made everyone stunned, in Eve's view, this is obviously a warm family movie, not a horror movie, even though there are many horror elements.

Robert said with a smile: "This kind of movie is very difficult to come across. It is a dark horse at the box office. You should finish filming the next scene. I will try my best to inquire about the audition time and promotion time, and try not to crash."

If there is a conflict between the audition time of "Almost Famous" and the promotion or premiere of "Death Comes", it is natural to coordinate it well, otherwise Eve will not know how to perform sex and cannot conjure another self.

"Thank you for your hard work, see you when I return to Los Angeles."

Eve knows that there are many excellent movies in Hollywood, and it is impossible for her to act in every one of them, but she still hopes to meet a movie that is as popular and popular as "The Sixth Sense".

It's not easy to just star in literary and artistic films, and commercial films are actually the most popular type.Only those who become famous are eligible to choose movies and roles, and those who are not famous can only choose what others left.

After hanging up the phone, she tore off the towel that wrapped her hair, and carefully dried it with a hair dryer.

There are still two days before I can go back to Los Angeles for vacation, and I feel excited when I think about it.Eve plans to make two-handed preparations, go to the materials collected by Robert, the script library, and the actors' union to see if there are any dark horse movies that are impressive in her memory.

If you fail to get the role of "Almost Famous", then at least there will be other film shootings, so you won't be completely idle.

She also knows that proper relaxation can help her get out of the last movie better, otherwise the time between the two movies is too short, and it will inevitably be affected.

Before the outbreak of "The Sixth Sense", who would have thought that a horror film with an investment of only US$4000 million could earn US$5 million or even US$6 million at the global box office?

Eve is not interested in the names of these movies. She doesn't know which movies she has watched are literal translations or free translations, so she can only choose to read the script.

If the script and story look familiar, it is probably a film that later generations have seen themselves.This type of film can reach the other side of the Pacific Ocean, which proves that there must be quite a lot of advantages, and it is worth trying.

Just like when Eve saw Winona's new boyfriend Matt Damon a few days ago, she thought of the "Bourne Shadow" series of movies, but she didn't know what the Bourne Shadow was called in English, and she forgot whether there was If you can read the script for the female role that suits you, there will definitely be overlapping memories.

You can't feel at ease just because you starred in a movie. If you think that many good roles come to you, you are too young and too stupid. Even big stars want to steal the roles of girlfriends, let alone young actors.

There are so few roles in Hollywood that are suitable for female actors, and every one that comes out will attract people to snap up.

Just like "Almost Famous", a supporting actress who doesn't even know the plot, there are a lot of second- and third-tier actresses vying for it. Who knows if there will be a first-tier actress who will directly parachute!

Being prepared for danger in times of peace is something that is engraved in Eve's bones, and he will not be dizzy because of a little temporary achievement, let alone this achievement is just a empty promise that has not been cashed.
