"Can you delay you for a minute and fill out a video rating?"

"No, you have written it yourself, I'll choose C!"

After the screening of the Temple Grand Theater, the crew's creators had already attended the press conference. When the fans walked out of the theater at the party, Universal Pictures investigators were distributing questionnaires one by one.

Obviously, this job is not as easy as usual. The movie fans who come back with excitement have not concealed their disappointment at all.

Walking among the fans are two special guests, David Denby, a critic of the New Yorker, and Kenneth Tulane, a critic of the Los Angeles Times. They also discovered the situation in front of the team.

"Universal Pictures is going to be disappointed this time." Kenneth Tulane shook her head and whispered: "They raised everyone's expectations too high, but they didn't expect that the film would be like this."

Not to mention these unsatisfied movie fans, even he felt that he was full of regret. He watched a bad guy who spent a lot of money and didn't bring him any surprises. It was better to attend the premiere of "The Matrix".

"I can't say that completely."

David Denby and Kenneth Tulane, a well-known film critic of the younger generation, have many similarities in their views. There will be no conflict without being in the same city, so the relationship between the two is pretty good.

After hearing the other party's comments, he also lowered his voice and said, "The special effects scenes of the film are actually worthy of this investment, but they are too deliberately imitating Batman and have no story support compared to it, so they will give people the feeling of being like a four-dimensional one."

In fact, what he said was already polite. In order to create a dark and serious theme, the whole movie deliberately made Dr. Robert Bruce Banner so bitter and grudges, and many inexplicable ways seemed too deliberate.

If you try hard to imitate Batman, but you still fail to reach the other party's height, it will cause an embarrassing situation where the target group is unclear.

"Here, it's like this." David Denby said nodding forward.

In front of them were three men and two women and five movie fans. It can be seen that these young people came together. Universal Pictures investigators were distributing questionnaires to them one by one.

"Okay, the video is too far from what I imagined, so I chose B." A white boy stuffed the questionnaire back while complaining. "The big scene I want to watch is different from the one in the video. Oh, sorry, I fell asleep bored later."

"B, I think the video is weird, too."

“I choose B, too.”

"Then I'll give A-, at least those special effects are quite real."

The last girl's choice made the investigator's eyes lit up. After taking back the questionnaire, he asked, "Will you recommend friends to watch this video?"

"No! Absolutely not." The girl shook her head and said loudly before leaving: "Because I didn't understand what the director wanted to do, the movie felt very weird!"

After leaving the theater gate, Kenneth Tulan and David Dembie walked towards the hotel booked by Universal Pictures. Both of them were not ordinary movie fans. The reason why the film gave people this feeling is probably the reason why both of them thought of it.

Normally, if a large production with an investment of over 100 million US dollars wants to achieve the expected box office results, it should have done market research and determined the audience or target population when the film was officially launched.

Then after the video is finished, the distribution company will carry out necessary promotions that complement the video. The purpose is to tell potential target audiences the information on the video, come up with promotional strategies to attract them, arouse the curiosity of this group, and buy tickets to watch after the video is released.

So in general, a large investment project like "The Hulk" will inevitably undergo more than one market survey.

However, the film does not show this. The film is neither the summer special effects popcorn that young people love the most, nor has it received the favor of the original comics party, because it is deliberately imitated by Batman's style, and it is deliberately changed to pieces, full of deliberate depression.

This led to an embarrassing situation where there were no sides to each other. The young movie fans who wanted to watch it didn't see the imagined special effects scene, and the movie fans who wanted to see the Invincible Hulk did not see the huge destructive guy, but instead found a bitter and revengeful Dr. Banner.

Universal Pictures is ambitious to want everything, but it has created something like a four-dimensional one.

"If you simply make a special effect popcorn, it would be better than the current garbage." Kenneth Tulan looked back at the fans who were scattering and said without hesitation. How to write such a film tomorrow morning's review also gave him a headache.

"In fact, it's just that it's not copied in place."

David Denby took out a pack of cigarettes and gave a more Chiloro evaluation. "It can be seen that Universal Pictures carefully analyzed Wayne's Batman and stuffed all the factors they thought they were successful into this video..."

Even though that's the case, the two of them are just chatting in private. The New Yorker and Los Angeles Times film critics' columns tomorrow morning will still be the praise and recommendations of "Hulk". This is the basic rule for film critics.

Since you have accepted the invitation from Universal Pictures and public relations, you can't at least say bad things about the film. This is the basis for film critics to suck blood on the production company.

Kenneth Tulan also lit a cigarette, shrugged and said, "The video may not be without a chance. There are so many bad movies sold in Hollywood, and no one can tell the taste of the fans."

"It's hard." David Denby shook his head. "Don't forget that there is a strong competitor next door! If I were an executive of Universal Pictures' distribution department, I would definitely start praying like God, praying that "The Matrix" would be as bad as it is, and maybe there would be a chance..."

I’m afraid of comparison in everything, right? But if everyone is bad together, there’s nothing to worry about. Anyway, the fans who start the summer season are very enthusiastic. If you don’t have to choose, you can’t help watching movies with bad reputation.

At the same time, the screenings in the Hollywood Chinese Theater gradually came to an end. The savior Neo on the big screen was beaten into a hornet's nest by a large group of agents led by Smith.

The audience watched all this attentively, and could not believe that the ending of the film would be like this.

Will this story that made movie fans feel happy all night really end with the hero's death determined? Of course not, this is completely incompatible with the rules of Hollywood.

Just like countless successful films, the routine of Hollywood movies that have been tried and tested has been taken out again. Love can save everything, love can save the whole world, and of course love can save the male protagonist.

When the heroine Trinity murmured "I love you" and kissed the real male protagonist, love saved everything again, Neo was resurrected and the savior officially arrived!

“Wow…”

Many viewers applauded and cheered excitedly. This is the picture they wanted to see, and it also proved that the traditional Hollywood routine has always been particularly useful.

Neo, who entered the savior state, easily fixed the bullets fired at him. Facing Agent Smith who rushed in front of him, he became vulnerable, and his speed could not keep up with the current savior.

“I know you’re eavesdropping.

I can feel it.

I know you are afraid, you are afraid of us; you are afraid of change.

I don't know the future.

I'm not calling you to tell you it's over.

But I tell you that it's just the beginning.

I'm going to hang up the phone, and I'm going to let people see what you worry about.

Show them a world without you, a world without jurisdiction, control, and boundaries, and a world where anything can happen.

What will happen? You choose!”

When the code represented by Agent Smith was torn apart and Neo returned to the real world, the movie had come to the end. The savior soared into the sky, and in the world of matrix, he had unparalleled abilities.

The movie ended here. While the lights of the theater were lit one by one, the big screen also turned black, and the list of cast members began to roll.

With the appearance of subtitles, all the fans on the scene stood up excitedly, and media reporters and guests who came to the platform were no exception. This video gave everyone too many surprises.

"coax!"

Thunderous applause sounded instantly, and a few emotional fans were still screaming, looking at the main creative team that ended the party under the big screen, shouting loudly.

"Neo, you're so handsome!"

"Savior, you are the Savior!"

"Triniti, I love you so much!"

"Hey, hey, Trinity, look here..."

“…”

Most of the audience's attention was given to the male and female protagonists, especially the black tight leather jacket and extremely hot-shaped Charlize Theron in the film. Her look attracted the cheers of countless male audiences.

The atmosphere at the scene was amazing. This "The Matrix" satisfies the expectations of all movie fans, and even far exceeds the expectations of watching the movie. It can be said that it has done everything that the summer science fiction blockbuster should do.

Five minutes passed, and the applause did not stop at all. Zach Schneider had to lead the crew to stand under the curtain for the second time to end the curtain, but the appearance of the male and female protagonists further ignited the audience's enthusiasm.

Daisy was also clapping her hands hard. Although it was not the first time she watched it, it did not prevent her from wanting to continue watching it again. This cool and cool movie seemed to exude an irresistible charm.

The most important point is that his boyfriend Actor Henry is currently standing among the main creators of the crew, standing next to his idol Wayne Greenberg, receiving applause from countless movie fans.

"Hani, you did a great job." Daisy now looked at her boyfriend in the audience, and was filled with pride.

However, she couldn't send congratulations to her boyfriend as soon as possible. After the premiere, she had to organize more fans to watch the movie. This is her current career. Daisy will be very busy this summer.
