Chapter 591 Movies and Games
Chinese people may find it strange why Chinese cigarettes are sold to the United States.
This is not surprising. In fact, if you go to any large supermarket in the United States today, you will find that more than 60% of the goods come from China.
Among them, the most popular goods are Lao Gan Ma and Zhonghua Cigarettes.
It’s no wonder that China Cigarette’s advertisement can be found in the Manhattan Commercial Plaza, next to a huge poster of “The Last of Us.”
Laoganma can understand why China Tobacco is on the list? It can only be attributed to the butterfly effect brought about by little Gilbert.
The hotel where little Gilbert stayed could see the billboards of the Commercial Plaza and the scenery of the New York Bay. The climate in New York is quite cool in May, not too hot.
In the cinema less than two blocks away from the Little Gilbert Hotel, several theaters were basically overcrowded and packed with enthusiastic movie fans.
Going to the movies at midnight is basically only for loyal fans.
There is no doubt about the appeal of Little Gilbert and Tom Cruise. This is the third movie the two have collaborated on, and it naturally attracted a group of CP fans.
In fact, many fans think that women should be put aside and let little Gilbert and Tom Cruise live their lives. It seems pretty good to think about it.
As a reporter for "Toutiao.com", Zoe is mainly responsible for feedback and research from theater audiences.
She didn't have a media pass, so she had to buy a ticket to go to the cinema. In recent years, with the weakness of film critics, many theaters basically no longer ask for press cards. Even full-time film critics have to buy tickets.
Of course, big media outlets like the New York Times and Los Angeles Times still have privileges, but reporters from Toutiao.com do not have this privilege.
Zoe praised it as a good movie while observing the fans' reactions.
Needless to say, except for a few passers-by who came to the midnight show, most movie fans were very, very satisfied with the movie "The Last of Us."
However, she noticed a family whose parents seemed to be taking their children to watch a movie. However, the scene of the corpse wave in the movie was a bit scary and scared the children.
When the show was over, Zoe immediately approached the family for an interview.
Sure enough, my mother started to complain: "I like Little Gilbert's movie very much, and this movie is not bad. But in terms of movie classification, why is this movie rated PG-13?"
While comforting the frightened child, the father complained: "Today's rating system is increasingly unbelievable. We originally planned to watch a relaxing movie, but it turned out to be such a movie."
Zoe cursed in her heart, it said science fiction thriller, it is not a family movie, you should watch it by yourselves.
But Zoe didn’t say this. What the couple said was also material, which was a small breaking point.
After interviewing the family, Zoe interviewed seven or eight more movie fans, and most of them received positive reviews. One of the emotional fans kept crying after leaving the cinema. He seemed to be moved to death by the plot of the movie.
However, no one laughed at this emotional fan. Many fans who considered themselves strong could not help but have red eyes after seeing a few clips in the film.
The most taboo and annoying thing to hear at this time is: "Isn't it just a movie? What's so touching?"
Fortunately, no one said this, and everyone still sympathized.
Of course, a few fans criticized Joel's final actions and thought his choice was not a good one. But from Joel's point of view, I feel that he was not wrong.
A big fan said excitedly during an interview: "If I were Joel and someone wanted to hurt my Ellie, I would go even further than Joel."
Indeed, the character of Ellie is so successful that it even surpasses Joel played by Tom Cruise. As long as they have watched the movie, most people like this special little girl very much.
Zoe also held a small poll to see which character fans liked the most. As expected, Ellie was the most popular. Joel was ranked second, and Sarah, who had a small role, was ranked third.
I heard that Saoirse Ronan was an Irish young actress who was selected by Gilbert Little from an audition. Zoe couldn't help but sigh, this little actor is already promising.
What is certain is that Saoirse Ronan has become the most talked-about young actor overnight, and I hope she can catch this incredible wealth.
In fact, among online movie reviews, Saoirse Ronan received the most praise.
Everyone suddenly discovered that Saoirse Ronan's performance was so outstanding. This little-known little girl instantly became a young actor comparable to Emma Watson.
There is no way that the "Harry Potter" series will become more popular, but the book series will have a huge bonus.
Saoirse Ronan plays Elle, but there is no bonus. Of course, with Gilbert Jr. and Tom Cruise, it doesn’t seem to require any bonuses.
Nowadays, it seems that only Gilbert Jr. can make movies with original scripts at a relatively high level.
Christopher Nolan once said that when a movie is released in theaters, all the work belonging to a director has been completed.
However, this may not be applicable to Gilbert Jr., because he is not only a director, but also a producer.
Although he drank some tea, little Gilbert did not feel refreshed, but instead felt a little sleepy. Unable to hold on any longer, he hurriedly washed up and went to sleep.
Here Naomi Watts got the statistics of the midnight show. When she opened it, she found it was quite good.
"Where's the bastard?" Cameron Diaz looked left and right.
"Forget it, it's better not to call him. He's probably been too busy lately and has fallen asleep." Naomi Watts smiled: "He will probably be very satisfied tomorrow morning when he sees the midnight box office data of 12.54 million US dollars. .”
"Indeed," Cameron Diaz nodded: "He did it again, he always does it."
Over the years, the two women have become accustomed to it. Little Gilbert's movie has started shooting, his movie has been released, and his movie has become a hit.
After more than ten years of repeating this cycle, everyone is used to it.
"What's the online reputation like?" Naomi Watts asked.
"IMDB hasn't released the score yet, but I guess it won't be lower than 8.6. After reading most of the reviews, most of them are positive."
Cameron Diaz said: "Little Gilbert said that this movie is very suitable for developing a game, and he asked me to discuss it with Warner's game department to see if there is interest.
If Warner doesn't want to do it, it can hand it over to a game company owned by Xigua. ”
Many IPs are suitable for adaptation into games. Recently, Warner has planned to release a DC-related game called "Batman: Arkham City."
In addition, "Lord of the Rings", "Harry Potter", "Mystery of the Spell" and other series with relatively large operating space are suitable for making games.
Little Gilbert has a judgment that the revenue of the gaming industry will definitely exceed that of the film industry in the future. Therefore, we have been planning in this area very early, and we have also invested in and acquired many game companies.
But the most harmonious thing seems to be the new thing that little Gilbert will do next.
Little Gilbert has been proposing a new concept called cinematic narrative, which is to make the game into a movie-like style, where players are both participants and audiences.
However, the current configuration of consoles and PCs is not enough to achieve this goal, and the hardware must be constantly updated.
