hollywood draw

Whether it is the gimmick of the new generation of Hollywood Jewish directors hyped in the media, the battle against the old Jewish directors, or the gimmick of the scepter handover of the new and old Hollywood top directors as mentioned by many media, movie critics, all of this shows that even in the process of "Batman: The Dark Knight" sweeping the theater market, people are still full of expectations for "Jurassic Park 2".

On Thursday night of May 22, 1997, the movie that made all kinds of dinosaur toys go crazy four years ago returned. While the Los Angeles Temple Grand Theater held its grand premiere, "Jurassic Park 2" also opened more than 3,200 advanced games to all over North America at the same time.

Like the choice of "Batman: The Dark Knight", Universal Pictures and theaters under the theaters did not choose to start midnight for the film, but instead chose to start early stages in major cities at the same time.

After tonight, the film will be released on a large scale of about 3,650 theaters on Friday morning. At that time, the most important war after the start of the summer season will usher in the theater market. Even if the popularity of both films is very high, no well-known person dares to give prediction results in advance.

This time, even the third-party forecasting company and even the Spinach Group in Las Vegas canceled the bets on the box office of the two films this weekend.

"The tickets from VIP Cinema have been ordered long ago. This is the only one I bought through the scalper's price increase."

In the presidential suite on the top floor of the Hilton Hotel, Charles Rowan's voice was helpless in his voice. While handing over several movie tickets to Nina, he looked at Wayne who was putting sunglasses on his face. He obviously wanted to say something else. He hesitated for a moment and swallowed it back.

"Hani, I've done it, let's go."

When the door of the master bedroom opened, Naomi Watts took off his usual gorgeous fashion and turned into a girl next door. Her figure was very well maintained and she didn't look like a woman who had given birth to a child. Simple tight jeans and a white T-shirt, a simple and refreshing ponytail behind the baseball cap with DC letters, and the same large sunglasses that cover most of the face.

Like the Australian actress who dresses like a girl next door, Wayne has rarely shed a tough dark custom suit, jeans and white half-sleeved, and a baseball cap with DC letters. Compared to his usual mature and steady image, he is more like a young man who has just graduated from college.

Seeing the two men holding hands and walking out of the presidential suite with the assistant lady, Charles Rowan shook his head helplessly, grabbed Sergei who was following him, looked up at the Russian security guard who was like a bear, and whispered:

"Listen, don't leave Wayne's side at all. Make sure he's always in your sight. Damn, this is Chicago, and the chaos at night must be more than you imagined!"

"Ok, don't worry."

Nodding, Sergei grinned, leaving the other party with a smile he thought he was relieved. He stepped on his long legs and quickly chased the three people who had left in front.

It was not long, and a business car provided by a hotel quietly drove out of the underground parking lot. The rest of the crew have been exhausted by the intensive publicity activities of one city every day, or even two cities a day. Obviously, no one cares about their stay and stay, and they are all hurrying to rest every minute.

The car did not drive too far and stopped in front of a theater under the American Artist Chain. Before getting off the car, Wayne and his men checked their outfits again to ensure that they would not be recognized by movie fans, then they opened the car door and walked towards the theater lobby.

"Maybe you shouldn't have brought Sergey out with you."

While moving forward slowly with the long team of movie fans, Wayne whispered to the woman beside her. Nina and the others were fine, but basically didn't attract any attention, but the tall and big Russian bear has always been the focus of many people's eyes. He even heard some small movie fans whispering to guess whether this guy could kill a cow with one punch.

"Come on, boy." Naomi Watts held the man's arm with one hand, and slowly moved forward, rolled his eyes in secret. "This is Chicago. Do you think if Charles and the others dare to let you leave the hotel alone at night without Sergey?"

Wayne shrugged and did not continue the topic. The few people returned to silence again. Listening to the fans around him, constantly discussing all topics about dinosaurs, his thoughts were slowly dissipating.

In his memory, he had only watched the first step in 1993 "Jurassic Park", and the subsequent "Jurassic Park 2", and "Jurassic World". He had not watched the films in full. While he had just arrived in Chicago and had no notice at night, he wanted to know his competitor in advance.

He doesn't know about this upcoming film, but when it comes to "Jurassic Park", which was born in 1993, Wayne has a very deep memory. And after he was in this era, he can better understand the difficulty of that film back then.

You know, at the early 1990s, computer special effects were far less developed than in the past two years. The movie "Jurassic Park" was completely completed with models and animations, such rough special effects production techniques. However, technical limitations did not reduce the viewing experience of that movie at all.

At least in Wayne's already slim memory, he has heard from his friends around him more than once. Compared to the more realistic special effects later, the story and pictures of the first "Jurassic Park" are more powerful.

He only remembers the story of Daluo in that film. A scientist used genes in amber to poke out a large dinosaur. People circled various dinosaurs on the island and established Jurassic Park. The control system was paralyzed, and the dinosaurs ran out to destroy and slay people everywhere. Several protagonists had their own natural aura of immortality and eventually escaped from the island.

"What are you thinking?"

After the movie officially started, Naomi Watts and Wayne sat in the corner of the last row. The Australian actress took her attention from the big screen, glanced at the man who had been silent around her, and joked: "How is it? Shocked by the movie? Are you starting to worry about losing to Steven? It doesn't matter. If you cry in fear, I will never tell anyone."

The woman's words interrupted Wayne's thoughts, and what made him laugh and cry was that the woman not only teased him unscrupulously in her words, but also acted in substantial ways, opening her arms to him, just like comforting the injured child, giving a warm arms.

"f**k you! Nami." While changing out the usual dress, the two seemed to have put down their usual masks. Wayne reached out and knocked off the woman's arm without hesitation, and pointed a finger on the woman's forehead. "Damn it, don't treat me as a child."

"Ahh? Are you sure you want to be here?" Naomi Watts had a playful smile on his face, as if he had succeeded in a prank. He suddenly lay on his shoulder and blew a lightly in his ear. "We haven't tried it in the cinema yet, but my former high school classmate told me that it's very exciting here. Do you want to try it? boy?"

“hey,hey,hey!”

Helplessly pushing the woman away from her face, Wayne subconsciously observed the surroundings, and then breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that no one was not noticed. "Crazy woman, do you want to create a big news that completely ignites North America?"

As soon as he thinks about the headlines in the newspaper tomorrow, such as "Hollywood director Wayne Greenberg, a famous Hollywood actress Naomi Watts, fighting in the dark in the cinema late at night!", he immediately shivered.

That's right, this circle is basically full of football, and no one is better than anyone else. People in the circle look at each other and make random things, which is not a news worth reporting. However, with the current popularity of "Batman: The Dark Knight", if the film director messes around at the scene of his competitors' movies, they will definitely become the topic of conversation for the entire North American after dinner.

"Ha, coward." Naomi Watts tried hard to endure her laughter. She suddenly felt that occasionally provoking this young man like an old man around her would definitely bring a lot of fun to her future life.

"See a movie!"

Wayne stretched out a hand, pressed it on the woman's head, and struck it hard towards the direction of the big screen. At the same time, he also turned his eyes to the big screen again. At the same time, he deliberately lowered his voice and muttered: "When I go back to the hotel, shit, I swear I will definitely make you regret it, stupid woman."

While watching the movie, he was still observing the reactions of the fans. Until the end of the movie, everyone gave the movie warm applause. They also applauded the audience with the applause. Judging from the reactions of the fans who were already full of early stages, this film was at least successful in entertainment.

After taking a few people out of the theater in a low-key manner, Wayne's brows slowly stretched. Based on his experience in watching the movie, it is now certain that this film still does not deviate from the curse of Hollywood sequels. Whether it is the audience's reputation or professional reputation, it will definitely decline significantly compared to the previous one, but this does not mean that the box office will be lower.

According to the memory of the first part of "Jurassic Park", he summarized several particularly important elements. First, the movie is exciting, humorous, curious, and all men, women and children. The overall film uses the word "family joy" to almost achieve the ultimate goal.

Second, the film always tells the audience that if you violate the laws of nature, you will definitely not end up in the end. Third, the film also always shows the greed of human beings. Fourth, the film never deviates from Hollywood's most enduring routine. Human love can defeat everything, and human beings have love. This is performed very well with the help of the protagonists.

Compared with the first one, the "Jurassic Park 2" has made some innovative attempts, but basically these four tones have not changed at all and still exist in every corner of the film. Obviously, Steven Spielberg is very clear about the reasons for the great success of the first one.

But after watching the video in full, Wayne breathed a sigh of relief for his next "Batman: The Dark Knight" and his head-on collision with this movie, because according to his current premonition, the box office of this movie was completely impossible to explode globally like the first one. It is very difficult to catch up with Batman, who has created greater glory.

"Steven wants to express a little too much humanistic sentiment." Looking at the night view of Chicago that was constantly retreating outside the car window, Wayne murmured in a low voice, attracting the attention of Australian actresses.

"What?" Naomi Watts held his arm, took off his baseball cap and threw it aside, asking curiously: "What's wrong? Do you expect the box office of this big dinosaur to pose a threat to us?"

"Nami, in the theater market, or in the commercial field." Wayne shook his head with a chuckle and said, "No one can underestimate Steven! My feeling about the movie definitely cannot represent the box office trend of this movie."

Speaking of this, he paused. While recalling the shocking scene he had just seen, he commented: "It's just my personal feeling that Steven added a bit of humanistic care to the film this time, which may cause some fans who are entering the operation for family fun, causing a dislocation of the movie viewing experience.

Also, have you noticed the authenticity of those dinosaurs? Compared with the first one, this film has made great progress in special effects. However, too much attention to the display of special effects must be sacrificed. This is also the most uncertain thing. It is possible that movie fans enter the theater based on realistic special effects. What kind of story is not a story, and it is not important or certain in the eyes of this movie fans.

Finally, there is another point, compared to the first part, the film does not bring enough excitement to the audience, nor is it large or strong enough. This is a common problem with the sequel film. If you want to continue the success of the previous work, this will inevitably happen. However, these are my personal feelings. The reputation is likely to drop, but no one dares to make an assertion about the box office results."

"It seems that in the past two years, the reputation of sequels produced in Hollywood will decline among the fans, media and critics." Naomi Watts nodded. It was obvious that she had similar feelings, but after looking at the tough face of the man around her, the Australian actress showed a sweet smile. "Hani, in the field of sequels, no one can do better than you. "The Dark Knight" has said everything!"

"Thanks."

The sequels are not good, which has become a common phenomenon in Hollywood in the mid-to-late 1990s. This is related to the production companies' conservative production strategies for sequel movies and also to the business strategies of the production companies in the entire circle.

To put it bluntly, Hollywood film companies have only one ultimate goal for filming movies, that is, profit, and the biggest measure to ensure profit is to continue the successful film elements. Whether it is the lack of surprises, the old story, or the aesthetic fatigue of the audience, they are all the reasons for the so-called sequels that are not good.

However, such a business strategy can ensure that large investment risks are minimized. Hollywood's decades of experience told production companies that doing so is the safest way to make money.

The business car drove back to the hotel parking lot again quietly. Charles Rowan, who had been standing by the window, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He, the producer, was frightened all night. This was not their base camp, Los Angeles. He had never seen any billionaire looking for such excitement in the middle of the night. After confirming that several people returned safely, he walked into the bedroom and fell asleep.

Time has begun to approach midnight, and the mist is steaming in President Hilton's bathroom. From time to time, you can hear the sound like a wild cat roar. Occasionally, two slender and white handprints appear on the glass covered by fog, and soon disappear on the glass wall with the sharpness of the sound.

The two of them took a shower tonight for nearly an hour, and finally ended with the crazy yelling of Australian actresses. Both of them knew each other very well. Naomi Watts enjoyed some small games with a little taboo most of the time, but when she released the beast in the man's heart with her own hands, she would be helpless to switch provocation to prayer and abuse.

"f**k, if you hurt me, the subsequent publicity activities will be ruined. Wayne, you animal!"

The man gently wrapped the woman in a bath towel, picked her up and went to the balcony, blew the midnight breeze in Chicago. When he heard the woman grinding her teeth and swearing, he seemed to have not noticed the other party's anger, and lit a cigarette with a refreshing spirit, enjoying the relaxation after indulgence while swallowing the clouds and sucking the clouds and fog.

Naomi Watts rolled his eyes, adjusted his posture on the recliner, stretched out a white arm, and unceremoniously snatched the cigarette that had just been lit from the man's mouth, stuffed it into his mouth, imitated the other person's appearance, and took a big mouthful with a comfortable expression.

In the faint smoke, the white fingers of the Australian actress brushed her eyes. Now her face is definitely beautiful even if she doesn't need to wear exquisite makeup. But every woman knows in her heart that no one can always maintain her youth, especially her age, which is actually not considered young. "Wayne, maybe I should consider my face, after the shelf life."

"Nami, believe me, your face is much more resistant to beating than most local women in North America." Wayne just lit a second cigarette. Hearing the other party's feelings, he looked up at his white face in surprise and looked at his charming blue eyes, and said with a smile: "I swear to God that in a few years, you will be more beautiful than you are now."

In his impression, Naomi Watts is definitely a late-stage actress representative. When he became famous all over the world, this Australian woman was over thirty years old, but her image on the big screen, especially later films such as King Kong, is still the dream lover of countless men around the world.

Compared with local women in North America, it seems that the actress who came to Hollywood in Australia has more tolerant of fighting in terms of appearance. For example, Mrs. Cruise, who had divorced Tomco for a long time, was the most poisonous box office poison. However, as time goes by, this woman who found her position in Hollywood again appeared on the big screen, is far better than the same period, and even the younger generation of local North American female stars.

"Don't lie to me, boy." Naomi Watts raised his eyebrows happily after hearing his words, and then rolled his eyes without hesitation. "Everyone will grow old, and no one can change the rules of nature. This is much crueler for women than men."

She knows the man around her very well. Even if she has a special status in the other person's heart and gives birth to a child, when she really gets old one day and has wrinkles on her face that need to be covered by makeup, the other person will definitely choose other youthful and beautiful faces without hesitation. Young and beautiful faces are always the most unabashed thing in Hollywood.

In fact, based on the women who have had scandals in Wayne and countless gossip media, they have carefully analyzed the preferences of this young Hollywood tycoon. After those entertainment paparazzi interviewed Charlize Theron, Jennifer Connery and other women countless times, they finally concluded a truth, that is, this man is very dedicated, so dedicated that he is only interested in beautiful young girls!

This is not only the woman around him, but Naomi Watts, who spends most of the time, knows more clearly what kind of character this guy has, no one knows more thoroughly than an Australian actress.

"Don't think too much, Nami." Wayne's eyes gradually narrowed, and his head involuntarily began to replay the scene he had just been in the bathroom. His eyes began to wander on the woman on the lounge chair, especially the other party's lazy and delicate temperament now, which was agitating his tyrannical emotions bit by bit.

"Damn, what do you want to do?!"

Naomi Watts' eyes widened suddenly. It was too late to find that the familiar beast's eyes appeared in the man's eyes. Under Wayne's eyes like a ferocious beast, the woman sighed helplessly. She could already imagine what she would face. "f**k! I regret provoking you in the cinema tonight, hey..."

Seeing the woman slid off a bone, she slid from the recliner to the carpet, Wayne's mouth slowly raised up, and he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips greedily.

Unlike the passionate scene at the Hilton Hotel in Chicago, Glendale, DreamWorks Industrial Park, live-action film production office area, Steven Spielberg leaned against the sofa, and rarely had no choice to go home, even though it was midnight now.

Secretary Sanders walked through the corridor in a hurry, holding a fax document in his hand, stood in front of Steven Spielberg's office door, tried hard to adjust his breathing, and then reached out and knocked on the door "dong, dong, dong".

"Come in."

The voice of the Jewish old man immediately sounded in the office. Secretary Sanders pushed open the door and went directly to the sofa seating area where the other party was.

"The boss, the fax sent by Universal Pictures is a rough statistical report for the early stage of "Jurassic Park 2". "After putting the fax paper on the table, Sanders, who knew his habits, said:

"Jurassic Park 2" has simultaneously opened 3,215 advanced games in major cities in North America, and the box office counted by theater companies is about 12.4 million US dollars."

"Well, it's not bad."

Steven Spielberg nodded lightly. This result is indeed a little more than what he and Universal Pictures expected, which shows that the audience is full of expectations for this movie. "Continue talking."
