Chapter 1340 One Hundred Percent
The competition in Hollywood and Vanity Fair is so fierce that it is unimaginable. Only by truly experiencing it can you get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg.
However, countless young people still appear one after another, arriving in Los Angeles with the dream of becoming famous overnight and changing their lives.
Finally, taste the bitterness of tears in the cold and cruel night of the City of Angels.
Zack Snyder is no exception.
After struggling in the mud of Hollywood for nearly ten years, he finally found a suitable project and finally opened it. He could not help but enter the dream with expectations, imagining the glory and miracle of becoming famous overnight and changing his destiny. He was nervous and looking forward to it. Looking forward to a brilliant future.
result?
Like thousands of other people in Hollywood, a bucket of cold water was poured down on me.
With a snap, the fantasy bubble burst.
The kind of loss and melancholy is so overwhelming that it is almost unbearable.
So, what’s next?
Can't see the future. There was darkness before my eyes.
It took so many years to wait for the first opportunity. When and whether the second opportunity will appear is still unknown.
It's all Anson's fault.
Universal Pictures clearly knows that "Dawn of the Dead" will be released this week, but refuses to spend promotional resources here, and watch "Warm Heart" steal all the attention. Who knows if Anson is threatening Universal Pictures behind the scenes? They are prohibited from using media resources to build momentum for competitors.
If it weren't for that vase, they wouldn't have been ignored so completely, and they wouldn't even have a chance to win coverage in the news media——
He cursed "Nuan Nuan Contains Light" for its box office failure and word-of-mouth failure, causing Focus Features to go bankrupt, and then the entire Hollywood to ban Anson.
Ah, ah ah...
Zach only felt that his internal organs were burning. The torment and pain were completely beyond description in words. He was tossing and turning, burning in hell.
Wait, word of mouth. Yes, word of mouth!
Now it's just about the coverage. Whether a movie can be successful or not depends on word of mouth, the evaluation from the media and the audience.
and!
For a work like "Dawn of the Dead", the media reputation has no reference value!
Horror movies have always been disliked by film critics. This prejudice has lasted for many years. They are often particularly picky about horror movies, so that the media evaluation of horror movies is generally low. It is not a special case of one or two movies. That's it, it's a common phenomenon.
Therefore, the real test of horror movies still comes from the audience. As long as the small group of niche supporters of horror genre works are satisfied, the movie box office will still have hope.
He should not be discouraged, let alone despair. The journey of "Dawn of the Dead" has just begun.
But is he already looking for a way out of the filing before he even reads the media comments?
No, no, no, this attitude is wrong. He should have full trust in the media and confidence in the audience——
They can recognize good from bad, they can judge correctly.
As for Anson Wood?
Haha, an idol vase has nothing but that face; what's more, in his opinion, that face doesn't match his aesthetics. He really can't understand the fact that everyone in Hollywood is calling Anson handsome. , it’s incredible, are they all visually impaired?
"Warmth contains light"...well...Charlie Kaufman and Kate Winslet...
My palms were sweating.
But that movie only had a limited release, right? It can be seen from the positioning strategy that Focus Features is not prepared to confront it head-on.
He should be confident. He should be firm. There is no need to get into trouble just because of these small disturbances.
Taking a deep breath, taking another deep breath, his heart was still beating wildly, but Zach finally found some confidence, sat up straight again, and turned on the computer——
Media review.
Judging from the trend and atmosphere in recent times, the entire Hollywood should pay close attention to the comprehensive media reviews. Everyone is curious about when Anson will fail, everyone is curious about how long this vase will be able to ride on, and everyone is curious about what Anson said. When will the bubble of box office myth burst? The more noisy and lively the media is, the greater the pressure on "Nuan Nuan contains light".
Just in time, when all eyes are focused on "Nuan Nuan Inner Light", take a look at "Dawn of the Dead" and discover that this remake has actually detonated media reputation, and may even crush "Nuan Nuan Inner Light". Punch Charlie Kaufman and kick Anson Wood for a little shock.
Then, one or two media outlets will come belatedly to kneel down and lick them——
Zach is confident about this, 100% confident. He believes that no one in Hollywood can complete a better remake than him.
Everything is perfect.
He is gold, as long as you give him a chance, no one can stop him from shining.
What "warmth contains light", haha, in the end everything will become his stepping stone.
Thoughts were swirling in his mind, and as he thought about it, the smile crept up the corner of his mouth again. Zach was even a little bit excited, and he couldn't wait to see the rave reviews from the media.
Then, the page slowly refreshed in front of him. Zach was stunned, his smile froze at the corner of his mouth, and the incredible impact directly made his mind go blank——
How is it possible.
This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!
Comprehensive media review, fifty-nine points.
Actually. Failed. Only fifty-nine points.
This is the rating of "Dawn of the Dead", not "Warm and Containing Light"?
After repeated confirmation, Zach still got the same answer. He put countless efforts and energy into the work, but in the end it only got a measly fifty-nine points.
incredible.
Holding his breath, Zach's first subconscious reaction was to search for "Nuan Nuan Containing Light" and wait for the page to refresh.
Point by point, point by point, the process of the page slowly displaying was simply a torture, but Zach didn't move the whole time, frozen in place in a daze.
Until the page is fully displayed——
"Warmth contains light", ninety-five points.
Five thunders struck.
transfixed.
It's not just rave reviews, it can be said to be explosive praise. From fifty-nine to ninety-five, the two Arabic numerals swap positions, but it's like going from heaven to hell and from hell to heaven, wandering on the edge of life and death. Life or death is worse than death.
How did all this happen?
Zach was stunned on the spot. He didn't even notice that his shoulders and spine collapsed. There was only one thought in his mind: the media's overall comments are not important. These sycophants kneeling down to Anson are not important at all, not important at all. They can't understand him at all. art; the only thing that matters is the audience.
The audience will make their voices heard with practical actions, just look at the box office. When the time comes, "Dawn of the Dead" will use the box office to prove its worth——
He, Zack Snyder, is a genius who has been misunderstood, buried, and misinterpreted.
Over and over again, Zach convinced himself, walked away angrily, turned away from the computer, returned to the kitchen, and began to clean up like crazy.
Scrub, scrub, scrub.
However, halfway through washing, he still couldn't hold it back. Without warning, Zach roared, "Ah!"
Outside the window, sparrows were frightened, flapping their wings and flying away from the treetops.
But other than that, everything was quiet and nothing seemed to change in the world.
