“shock! Hall and Lawrence have been dating for three months？”
The last one is obviously a scandal that is fishing in troubled waters. It simply wants to catch up with the hot spots and cannot be counted. However, despite this, this news still caused a lot of discussion on the Internet. From this aspect, it can be seen that "speed and The premiere of "Passion 5" achieved a sensational response, and every topic was the focus.
The next day, the entertainment headlines of all major news were undoubtedly dominated by "Fast and Furious 5". More than 300 print media reported it immediately. To be more precise, As long as it is a news media with an entertainment section, no one will miss this lively premiere - or in other words, no one will miss this opening battle.
Before the premiere, Nathan once complained about why people were generally not optimistic about "Fast and Furious 5" in this showdown. In his opinion, this series can be filmed until the fifth part. Fans The foundation must not be underestimated; not to mention, every man has more or less fantasies about luxury cars, and the market foundation of the series of movies should have great potential; plus Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Renly- Hall’s duel appeal... This work does have the ability to create great results.
Not only Nathan, but many outsiders also think so. But in fact, the industry generally regards "Fast and Furious 5" as a dark horse. This is not without reason..
Ultimately, the subject matter is the fatal factor. From a general point of view, men are the main market for summer movies, and men have a certain interest in luxury cars and racing cars. The mass base of such movies should be very broad. But people They have overlooked one important point: it is not easy to shoot a racing movie with new ideas, tricks, and quality..
“The "Fast and Furious" series itself is faced with such a dilemma. It is difficult for the script to sustain ninety minutes of pure speed and duel, and it is also difficult to create new ideas. Therefore, the third part chose Asian racing, which is very popular. drifted, only to be shattered in the United States..
Not just "Fast and Furious", there are many movies about racing or drag racing in the entire history of North American movies, such as "Speed", "Taxi Express", "Death Race", "Gone in 60 Seconds", "Racing" "Cars" and so on, but among them, only "Speed" made a profit.
Just one.
“"Taxi Express" was a hit at the box office in France, but it was acclimated to North America and performed poorly; "In 60 Seconds" gathered Nicolas Cage and Angelina Jolie. The two big names, in the end, the North American box office barely exceeded 100 million, bringing a loss of nearly 30 million to Disney's Bowei Pictures; even Pixar, which is invincible and invincible, suffered its first loss because of "Cars" North America's reputation has completely collapsed, and box office revenue has barely remained flat..
People call the "Fast and Furious" series B-movies, and the scale of investment is only part of the reason..
In addition, Universal Pictures' caution is also an important reason. From investment costs, to cast lineup, to publicity expenses, "Fast and Furious 5" cannot be regarded as a blockbuster, even if the cost of the fifth part is It reached 120 million, but the overall specifications still did not meet the standards of summer blockbusters. It still continued the promotion routine of previous B-level movies-it was just a B-level movie with relatively high investment..
To sum up simply, the overall momentum and weight of "Fast and Furious 5" is not at the same level as "Thor". It's like a boxing match, two players of different weights. It's not about who is more powerful. But the magnitude itself is different.
But now, this dark horse has shown incredible explosive power, showing excellent combat effectiveness from the premiere.
On the one hand, according to incomplete statistics, a total of more than 1,460 viewers attended the premiere, setting a new record for the number of viewers attending a non-summer premiere; 291 of them were Blue The scene of courtesy and help reminds people of the premiere of "Twilight".
Such a grand occasion is really impressive. The so-called concern about the weak fan base in the market seems to be turning into a joke..
On the other hand, compared to "Thor", the starlight of "Fast and Furious 5" is undoubtedly a lot bleak, but last night's premiere was extremely beautiful, with Seth Rogen, Jennifer... Lawrence, Ryan Gosling and other hot topics arrived at the scene one after another, allowing Renly to steal the spotlight; later Scarlett Johansson also recorded a video expressing that she was "unable to attend because of her contract" - she starred last year "Iron Man 2" and officially became a part of the Marvel Universe. This ridicule also attracted laughter from reporters..
If it weren't for the surprise video later, Renly would have stolen the spotlight as the best connection of the night. Even Paul, who invited his friend Jessica-Alba to attend, couldn't compare. This also made people realize It turns out that Chris Hemsworth’s previous slander was false, which in turn increased the credibility of the “borrowing door”. However, the subsequent surprise video actually also had Renly’s contribution：
Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg recorded a video to congratulate Renly and Van on the premiere of their collaboration. This was definitely the biggest topic of the night - only then did people remember that Van was in When he was just starting out, he starred in "Saving Private Ryan", not to mention Renly..
Originally, people were still worried that the dimming of the stars would affect the follow-up publicity of the premiere; unexpectedly, the starlight that night was simply dizzying. Today's major media reports have focused their attention on these focus figures. Lively. Universal Pictures’ poor promotion may have a negative impact on the film’s premiere box office. This concern seems to be dissipating little by little..
Of course, these are only potential influencing factors. It seems like blooming flowers, but it is still unknown how much contribution they can actually bring to the movie box office. The most important thing is, after all, the reaction of the audience and film critics..
After the premiere, a total of four media outlets, including the "Seattle Post", conducted on-site interviews to gain an intuitive and simple understanding of the audience's thoughts for the first time..
“The Seattle Post-Intelligencer interviewed 103 viewers that night, 75 of whom said the movie was very exciting and far exceeded expectations; 21 viewers said the movie was good and met expectations; and seven others said Audiences think the movie is boring, even if they don’t watch it.
When asked later, "Would you recommend friends to come and watch it?" All ninety-nine viewers gave a positive answer, and only four viewers said they would not; as for "Fast and Furious 5" and "Thor" At the opening of the summer season, 57 viewers said they would not watch "Thor" but supported "Fast and Furious 5", 32 viewers said they would definitely watch "Thor", and 14 more Audiences said they would decide after looking at the media evaluation and audience reputation of "Thor".
The most interesting thing is that the "most exciting part" was also mentioned in the interview. Eighty-eight viewers mentioned "Renly Hall" or "the new character", and 74 viewers mentioned "The Last Race" or "The Final Battle" were mentioned, and twenty-seven viewers mentioned "Vin Diesel". As for other various keywords, there are many more, but the frequency of mentions is not that high..
As we all know, the audience who are willing to attend the premiere are basically the audience who are full of expectations for the movie, and can also be considered as the audience who love the movie. Therefore, their evaluations will be relatively more positive..
But despite this, more than 93% of the viewers expressed that they met their expectations or exceeded them, and more than 96% of the viewers said they would recommend them to friends. This ratio is still appalling. A simple summary is : The audience expressed their immense love.
Not only the "Seattle Post", but three other media that conducted on-site surveys also came up with similar results. Just looking at the audience base of the premiere, the popcorn satisfaction index reached an incredible 99%..
Although the audience base of the premiere is small and loyal, and the reference value is not great. In the end, it still depends on the theater scores after the premiere weekend and the popcorn index of Rotten Tomatoes, but the rave reviews on the premiere night are still amazing. countless people！
In the summer box office war, the evaluation of film critics is still an important criterion, but it is undeniable that the influence is relatively limited. A work like "Transformers", which is constantly criticized, relies on the wonderful visual special effects. It can always create box office miracles; relatively speaking, scores that reflect the audience's attitude, such as popcorn index and theater scores, are the key to influencing the box office..
Now, the premiere of "Fast and Furious 5" is over. In terms of audience response, they have achieved an incredible start; and the emergence of Renly has added some magic to the movie. The color of the film has made people more curious: what kind of new character is it that can inject so much vitality into the series of movies?？
