The film's box office hit on the first day undoubtedly gave a positive result for a series of publicity and marketing promotions promoted by the Embassy Film Industry. However, at the same time, Relativity Entertainment also stopped its investment in the publicity and marketing of "Dungeon Siege". Although various related information is still spreading on the media and the Internet, it is a spontaneous reaction.

"Dungeon Siege" has become popular, so there is no need to continue to invest money.

Moreover, with the end of the first day of the screening, the reputation of the super bad movies has been completely spread. The reputation can indeed be marketed. The previous series of activities have also attracted fans to enter the theaters on the first weekend as much as possible. However, no matter how strong the promotion and marketing is, it cannot save the reputation of "Dungeon Siege" that is so bad that it collapses.

Bad movies can often be sold at high box office, but they have no endurance.

By Saturday, the imdb score of "Dungeon Siege" dropped to 3.3 points.

The Rotten Tomatoes Index continued to decline, falling to 2%.

At the same time, ema score announced the on-site scores of theater audiences, and thousands of movie fans averaged "e".

It is rare for a movie that can be screened on a large scale in the theater, with the ema score as "e".

But what is even more surprising is that the prediction released by Ema score believes that "Dungeon Siege" will achieve great commercial success, and it is expected that the box office in North America will be close to $30 million in the first week, and the final box office is likely to be above $70 million.

The first-day box office data of "Dungeon Siege" also proves that the prediction of ema score is not groundless.

By Saturday, the screening rate and attendance rate of "Dungeon Siege" were still far ahead of other films of the same period, but due to the poor negative reputation, the box office trend began to decline as Ronan expected, and the decline was a bit large.

On Saturday, the film received only $9.81 million, down nearly $3 million from its first day of release.

Even if bad movies sell well, they will never be avoided when they open high and close low.

Over time, single-day box office revenue will only plummet.

When Monday arrived, the latest box office statistics were delivered to Ronan as soon as possible. "Dungeon Siege" unexpectedly surpassed "Sharp Scream 3" released in the second week, and reached the throne of the North American box office rankings.

Three days after its release, it won $29.55 million in 2,920 theaters, achieving a box office of over 10,000 yuan in a single museum.

The box office success of "Dungeon Siege" made the entire Relativity Entertainment happy. After all, this is not a victory for the movie, but the result of the commercial operation of Relativity Entertainment.

The professional film review circle is wailing.

Richard Brody, a full-time film critic of "The New Yorker", broke a speechless tacit understanding and shared it through his official blog and the newly registered Netflix. At the same time, he declared to the public: Because there are many garbage viewers, there are so many garbage movies. Hollywood movies are full of garbage, which must be related to a large number of garbage viewers. The audience is really not good at it now, and I still miss the high-quality audience in the Golden Age.

As soon as these words came out, crazy movie fans almost squeezed Richard Brody's blog and Netflix account with all kinds of crazy abuse.

Richard Brody's commentary style on "The New Yorker" has always been known for being sarcastic and mean. He doesn't care about the reactions of movie fans at all. Instead, he continues to praise the golden age of Hollywood and angrily denounces the impetuous era of commercial films and garbage audiences today.

It seems like there has never been a bad movie in the Golden Age.

Fans began to quarrel with film critics, but the production company was not affected at all. Uvy Ball made two consecutive game-adapted movies, and with Hollywood's usual production strategy, other work will certainly not be missed.

Twentieth Century Fox obtained the right to adapt the movie "Street Fighter" and publicly claimed that he was preparing to shoot a movie adapted from the same name.

Lionsgate Pictures has bought out the copyright of "Fighting Life and Death", and the adaptation of the movie has begun to create scripts.

This is the usual style of the film industry. Whether in the golden age, now, or for a long period of the future, the types of movies that can make money will rush forward until they are completely ruined.

The producer is a commercial institution, and making money is the purpose. It doesn’t matter whether the movie is bad or not. If the bad movie makes money, you will make bad movies. If the good movie makes money, you will make good movies. The reason is very simple.

Since the film industry has developed to the present, in some ways, the film market is very simple and utilitarian. With money to vote, Hollywood will place whatever audiences like, and will not care about the ideals and artistic feelings of film.

In the eyes of film companies, art films are not more noble than vulgar commercial films. Not to mention the real bad movies like "Dungeon Siege", some "bad movies" appear, mainly because people who don't like him call him "bad movies". After all, this group of people have a strong voice and a strong desire to express themselves.

In the Internet era and before the information explosion, the criteria for judging the quality of Hollywood movies existed to protect the aesthetic tastes of old audiences.

Those nostalgic old films are often more likely to receive praise.

But it is different in the eyes of film companies. Old viewers are old and have mature views, and often have family pressure, impulsive consumption may be low, and the number of times they watch movies each month is very limited.

The young new audience is just the opposite.

It is appropriate to describe it in the words that Robert Eiger and Ronan said - everyone is born equal, why can only produce movies for old audiences? Newcomers' money is also money, and newcomers' money is more profitable!

On Monday morning, after reading various data from "Dungeon Siege", Ronan received a script sent by Lindsay Bill himself.

"Congratulations." Lindsay Bill put the script on Ronan's desk and said, "What else can you not do if you can do such a video?"

Ronan was not humble either and said, "It was just that at the right time, I chose the right marketing and promotion method."

Lindsay Bill said again: "Where did you find such a director?"

Luo Nan shrugged slightly: "I didn't expect him to be so confident when someone introduced him. How can I say that he has a unique charm that makes movie fans unable to help but care about every news about him."

Lindsay Bill laughed: "I met Jessica yesterday."

"Hmm?" Ronan was puzzled first, then reacted: "Jesse?"

Lindsay Bill nodded: "Jessica Felton, your special editor and post-producer, I saw her near Warner Studios and talked to her for a while. She was very good and hosted so many post-production of movies."

Ronan thought for a while and said, "Next month, Embassy Films will release two movies where she serves as a post-production producer, "Mean Girl" adapted the script, and "The Enemy of the People" starring Will Smith and Charlize Theron."

"There has been a long time since the filming of "Mean Girl" was finally in line." Lindsay Bill remembers this project, after all, the script was written by her: "Remember to send me a premiere invitation, and I will also attend the premiere."

Ronan smiled: "You are the only screenwriter of the film, and you will definitely be invited to the premiere."

Lindsay Bill pointed to the script: "I added an ending, and there were basically no changes to the rest."

Ronan did not look at the front, but turned to the last few pages of the script. As he said last time, the heroine was immersed in her dream of self-woven, and exchanged herself for a super high income, becoming a female elite in Metropolitan New York.

Super apartments, luxury cars, piles of luxury goods, and products that these hard-working elite white-collar workers and even gold-collar workers dare not consume easily are within her.

"Isn't such a rich life a bit exaggerated?" Ronan has never really had any contact with it, and is not particularly clear: "Can they maintain such a high quality of life?"

Lindsay Bill said: "Do you still remember the college classmate I mentioned? I feel that I am the best in the same class, but my income is incomparable to her. Ronan, I have learned from her current situation as you suggest."

Luo Nan nodded slightly. The situation of some high-end socialites was indeed beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Lindsay Bill said: "And her speech is self-contained. For example, she said she did not occupy any social resources and created such huge value. This is worthy of recognition."

Ronan said directly: "This kind of person cannot be separated from it."

"I've been on the phone with her recently." Lindsay Bill shrugged: "Do you know what she said? After you make enough money, you will leave New York and change to another city to live again."

Ronan added: "And find an honest man to marry?"

Lindsay Bill's eyes lit up and he said, "I can give her this advice when the phone is on the phone someday."

Hearing this, Ronan could only watch three seconds of silence for some honest man in the future.

Having said that, perhaps this is not a big deal in the eyes of some American men.

"Okay, it's very well written." Ronan closed the script and said: "If you make modifications in the future, you will talk about it after the director is in place. If you have new ideas and content, you can continue to change it."

Lindsay Bill asked with concern: "When will this script start to work?"

As one of Ronan's confidant subordinates, Lindsay Bill knew very well that this film will be for the awards season in the future. If she can win one or two awards at the Golden Globes or Oscars, she, the screenwriter, will benefit a lot!

Ronan said: "Don't worry, it may start operations next year and will be released in 2005 or 2006. To find a suitable director, you should also look at the current social development situation. Such films adapted from social reality will inevitably be greatly affected by the overall social environment."

Lindsay Bill nodded and said, "I'll leave first if there's nothing else, I'll go back and adapt the "Devil in Prada."

"Is this subject easy to write?" Ronan asked.

"It's okay." Lindsay Bill told the truth: "I'm going to New York again next month to see my classmate, and also to take a look at the fashion circle on the spot, and then talk to the original author."

Ronan opened the drawer, found Lauren Wesberg's business card, and handed it to Lindsay Bill: "This is the original author's contact information."
