“Will the screening life not be too long?”

Wayne grinned. This is the common problem with this type of film, and they are not wrong.

Whether it is a horror movie or a thriller movie, as long as this type of movie appears in theaters, it will inevitably be a carnival for short-term genre movie fans. Then, as soon as the popularity passes, it will immediately withdraw from the theater market, which is the type of making a profit and leaving.

The production companies that invest in this kind of film also understand this truth. The advantage of this kind of film is that it often leads to small profits, and after a short period of screening, it will immediately withdraw from the theater market.

Then the production companies will seamlessly connect and release video tapes on the market. This type of film, especially horror, plasma, and mill movies, has always been the main force in the video tape market, whether it is rental or trading.

"It's okay, Nina. I'm mentally prepared, and this movie is not very similar to ordinary horror movies. Even if I can't stay in the theater market for a long time, I have absolute confidence in the box office!"

Since he chose this movie, Wayne could think of the result. This was just an over-work and the last benchmark for horror films.

There are other reasons. No matter how it is filmed, in the dark wind movie, no film can have such great incendiary in society like "The Joker", and it is impossible to surpass the box office of "The Joker" in a short time.

"The Joker" is a product of special circumstances. First of all, the social influence of this film is like a virus and will be contagious on a large scale. Secondly, this film directly hits the pain points of today's North American society. Even people of color are watching it wildly, which is very rare in movies.

"All right."

The assistant lady continued to talk about the recorded data. "In the second preview, Warner Bros. invited 1,500 ordinary movie fans. In the recycled questionnaire, A score above accounted for 85% and the rest were score below C.

It can be said that this has a very good reputation among the audience in horror movies. Most fans who scored A and above said that they were moved by the beauty in the film, especially those who were moved in their youth, which is a relatively good phenomenon.”

"Um."

Wayne nodded, which shows that the effect he wanted has been achieved. Now, just wait for Warner Bros. to slowly promote it and see the market's performance in September.

Unlike the busy film director in the studio who listened to the cold digital experience of the assistant report, Cohen Campbell, the manager of the Imperial Theater, and Alexander Odyssey, the company's film watch expert, got back from the Warner Bros. preview, and got into the manager's office.

The reason why Cohen Campbell participated in this preview was because "The Joker" left a deep influence on him. He wanted to see the director's new film at the first time.

In some ways, this "The Joker Returns" is incomparable to "The Joker". Whether it is the core or ideological nature of the film, the two films are too far apart.

But just looking at a horror film, "The Joker Returns to the Soul" is undoubtedly the top work of this type, with a production cost of tens of millions of dollars.

Looking back on the "losers" alliance in the film, he automatically emerged in his mind about his youth. Those children simply covered all unfortunate childhoods, but also interpreted the unfortunate childhood so realistically.

If we talk about the plot of this film alone, it may not be outstanding compared to Wayne Greenberg's previous work, but it can indeed impress most viewers, especially the horror elements in the film, with almost nothing new, but when combined together, it becomes a top horror film.

Based on my years of experience watching movies, I will give the film an A score. Of course, this does not mean any artistic score, but an estimate of the market prospects.

Whether it is the real performances of those young actors, the beauty of the young man recorded by the director with cameras, or the horror elements, or the clown, every time they appear, they are arranged just right, these will become the main selling points of the film.

The most important point is that the core of this film is simple enough, so simple that as long as the audience enters the theater, they can understand all the plots, and they will not feel as heavy as "The Joker" after watching it.

This kind of drama of facing difficulties with friends in youth and fighting difficulties is very easy for ordinary people to bring emotions into their emotions. Almost everyone has this special yearning in their youth.

Dawn Scott has always disdained those pretentious reviews given by pretentious film critics.

What did Wayne Greenberg regress and said that he should not waste time shooting such pure horror movies, and should pursue more meaningful topics. In his opinion, these film critics are pretending to be confused when they understand.

This film is obviously an excessive work by Wayne Greenberg. The media reported "Batman" a lot a while ago, which shows that the director's focus has always been on the project of "Batman", which has exceeded 100 million yuan.

What is a good movie, a bad movie? Or in the eyes of Dawn Scott, there has never been any distinction between art and art. Good movies are blockbuster movies, and bad movies are those that no one cares about.

And this "The Joker Returns" obviously belongs to a kind of film that has a variety of top-notch elements.

"Wayne Greenberg did not regress. On the contrary, his level is as good as ever in terms of the infectiousness of the story." Alexander Odyssey suddenly spoke out, interrupting Dawn Scott's thinking.

The film expert continued, "I have studied this director for a long time after "The Joker" was released. His films have almost no big scenes to attract attention, and they don't play with large-scale bloody scenes too much, but they can attract more and more audiences!

It was not until a moment that I figured out why and it was infectious! Even if the story was different, what he did was the same. At the beginning of the film, the audience's emotions were pulled onto the protagonist, and then the story was told through emotional resonance!"

The summary of the film expert Alexander Odyssey made Dawn Scott understand a lot at once. That's right, just like he summarized, watching Wayne Greenberg's films will always be pulled into the story at the beginning.

"Yes, I have to say that this director is such a genius, a genius who takes a different approach." Dawn Scott agreed.

"No, Dawn." Alexander Odyssey shook his head gently, and spoke while recalling. "In the first two movies, you can say that he was a different genius, but after simple accumulation and training, the use of this technique in the last two movies has completely reached the level of a master."

Dawn Scott never expected that it would be impossible for a movie-watching expert to give such a high evaluation.

The film watch expert opposite him has always been famous for his sharp vision in the company, and not only has good vision, but the film market evaluation he gave is basically no worse than the actual performance of the film.

Dawn Scott has known each other for almost twenty years. There are absolutely no more than ten directors who can be called a master. Almost all of those people are famous bosses.

But how old is Wayne Greenberg? His directorial journey is only about age, at most he has just started, and it is not considered to be a senior age to enter the creative energy.

"Be prepared to increase the screening of "The Jokers' Return", Dawn." Alexander Odyssey took out the movie book, opened it and read his analysis at that time, and said with more certainty: "This schedule in September is good! The fierce battle in the summer season has ended, and it happened to be taken over by "The Jokers' Returns"!"

"I will pay attention to this." Dawn Scoe nodded. He believed in his old friend's judgment. Every theater company has such a movie watching expert, and they do this job. "I called John Grey in the future and asked for some additional copies of the video.

However, what do you think of "The Shawshank Redemption"? I remember that you attended the preview and was silent for a long time when you came back. Now those critics have praised this film to the sky."

Unless Dawn Scott is particularly interested in the film, it is generally impossible for him to attend the preview in person. But this "Shawshank Redemption" silently made Alexander Odyssey silent and gave a moderate answer.

“It’s a good movie…”

The faces of the film-watching experts are very complicated and seem to be very entangled, as if they can't find too many adjectives. "This movie is definitely a good movie, and it is undeniable that as long as you have watched it, you will definitely be filled with the spirit expressed in it and let it go.

However, this film is also very special. Even I can’t tell whether it will explode. It’s better to arrange the screening scale according to the normal commercial film level..."

After saying that, it seemed like I recalled that special film. I reached out and touched my head, stood up and walked out of the manager's office.

Dawn Scott looked at the old guy's back in confusion. "Is it really that special..."

No matter how busy Wayne is, after three years, the summer season without him directed the film has arrived, and after May, the fierce battle still came as promised.

Unlike previous years, as May entered the previous years, Wayne's film company dominated the world, but this year without his participation, the fight became more intense.

The whole month of May is basically in a state where you finish the show. Just when all the media thought this state would last, a "Speed ​​of Life and Death" by 20th Century Fox ended the melee.

But before Fox could laugh, only one week later, Bowei International's family-friendly animated feature film "The Lion King" snatched away most of the audience in June with an unparalleled advantage.

This family-friendly animated feature film almost dominated the entire June schedule. Although "The Speed ​​of Life and Death" performed very well, it still could only be ranked second.
