Chapter 691 The brain hole of the genius audience
After the premiere, Matthew returned to Horner Manor not long after he received a call from Helen Hermann. Walt Disney had already arrived at the box office statistics of "Twilight" in advance. The film won $13.2 million in 3,150 theaters screened in North America in advance.
This is a very outstanding box office result in advance, easily surpassing the release of "Iron Man" and "Superman Hancock" this summer.
Among the movies that have been released in 2008, it is second only to "The Dark Knight"'s early box office of $18.5 million.
The latter has accumulated a total of more than $500 million in North America!
This happiness came so suddenly. In just a dozen minutes, Matthew received calls from David Ellison, Lily Collins, Nina Dubov and Sophia Coppola.
Although she is a literary and artistic young woman, Sofia Coppola is very clear about the importance of box office to directors. It is not that she does not want to develop in the commercial field. "The Peerless Queen" is an attempt, but the proportion of female directors' success in the commercial film field is too low, and it seems to be more suitable for development in the literary and artistic field.
Sofia Coppola was a little excited when she called and wanted to come over and have a long talk with Matthew all night.
But Nina Dubov was practicing rhythmic gymnastics here. As an audience with a very professional ethics and "artistic" cultivation, Matthew appropriately revealed to Sofia Coppola that if Sofia Coppola came to appreciate it together, he would certainly not refuse.
Unfortunately, Sofia Coppola quickly calmed down and gave up his thoughts.
On Friday morning, many theaters just opened for business and ushered in the movie-watching peak. Countless young girls flocked in, and their ticket purchase targets were basically "Twilight".
This youth idol movie dressed in a fantasy cloak looks extremely popular.
"The film tells the unconditional love between humans and vampires. It is vividly said that this is the vampire version of "Romeo and Juliet". Although it mainly plays the love card, the film cleverly incorporates fantasy elements such as vampires and werewolfs, which increases the attractiveness of the entire story. Faced with such a story, many girls will naturally yearn for it. Love can always ignite people's passion and madness. The film also has beautiful and melancholy pictures, and the music is well-made and well-produced."
On social networking websites, young girls who have watched the movie can't wait to share their love for the movie.
Some female critics who are not too old seem to like this film too.
"As a typical female movie, "Twilight" is indeed exciting and successful enough. The combination of love and fantasy in the modern world, the fantasy world built by it, and the satisfied girl's dream of light and shadow, undoubtedly makes the movie full of seductive charm. Under that beautiful youthful pure love, the handsome vampire with superpowers, the kind and beautiful girl, the two of them cross the barriers to know each other, the power of love is so romantic and sincere..."
"Every character in "Twilight" is so delicate and gentle, even the fight between vampires is not so bloody. This film satisfies the little girl's yearning for love and imagination. This is a beautiful and romantic love film."
As the film officially started painting in North America with a scale of more than 3,600 cinemas, more and more viewers saw "Twilight". Book fans and young girls were fascinated by the film and praised "Twilight".
"I like movies with this kind of theme. I can't do it. The male lead is super handsome, and the actors' acting skills are all online."
"The appearance of the male and female protagonists alone is enough to let me watch the entire series, not to mention the exquisite pictures."
"This movie satisfies my expectation for a beautiful, romantic and extraordinary relationship, so it must be a movie that girls love."
Fans are crazy when facing what they like, and girls always fantasize that they are Mary Sue, so they must lack sufficient rationality when viewing this video.
A girl's message that was widely forwarded on Twitter is representative.
"I also want to find a man who can fly, and the family in charge! I love the blood sucking part that is the most loving! Those who give bad reviews are jealous men, mature women who cross the boundaries and pretenders. Those who give good reviews are immature girls and boys who live in fantasy."
It was with the crazy support of these people that "Twilight" won $41.2 million from North America on the first day of its release!
In just one day, the North American box office of this film exceeded the production cost!
"This is a single-day box office of $41.2 million!"
In a newly decorated mansion in Beverly Hills, Natalie Portman was shocked to see the number in the newspaper, "According to normal rules, the first weekend of Twilight is likely to have crossed the $100 million mark!"
The thoughts before suddenly came out, and her throat rolled. She obviously thought too much. Matthew Horner was still the same Matthew Horner who could accurately grasp the film market.
Success! Success! Success! This Matthew Horner is simply a successful machine!
Suddenly, she had an idea. Was it wrong to introduce Brad Pitt to Wachowski for money? If she cooperated with Matthew Horner, would the chance of success be higher?
But such thoughts flashed by. Natalie Portman is not the kind of hesitant person. If he hadn't cooperated with Brad Pitt and Project B, how could he have the money to buy this mansion?
Now "Cloud Map" is in post-production, and "Alien Battlefield" is about to start filming. She has already boarded the ship of Brad Pitt and B, and she will not be able to get off in a short period of time.
With the first day's box office release, most of the media that looked down on "Twilight" before the release also changed their stance, believing that the film had at least achieved commercial success.
"Matthew Horner is very good at making money. This "Twilight" is a typical example of successful investment. He knew that those who go to the cinema to watch such movies are often girls, and even if there are boys, they often invite girls to watch them, so as long as they please girls, it is equivalent to please everyone."
The Sun first admitted the commercial success of Twilight, and then the same style as before. "But he pleased girls like this, and had a holiday with boys! I wonder how many boys accompanied girls to watch this video and vomited? I guess they all hated Matthew Horner?"
Finally, I didn’t forget to ridicule, “This time the vampire is launched, whitening products will be launched into the male market. Those cosmetics companies should really find Matthew Horner to serve as marketing director.”
The commercial success of "Twilight" comes from the precise grasp of the film segment. However, behind the box office of up to $41.2 million on the first day, there were countless male audiences who were accidentally injured by the film.
It is not right to say that it was a mistaken injury. These men basically entered the venue to please the female audience, but "Twilight" is really not suitable for mature men to watch.
Inevitably, the reputation of "Twilight" has become very polarized.
"It's so bad that I want to cry."
"A girl's brain fragment!"
"I can't accept this kind of movie, and I can't watch it at all."
"How could anyone like it? The mentally retarded plot, inexplicable love, funny style... I would be too much to give a point..."
"The male protagonist is not good-looking, has no masculine temperament, and he will be able to bear it when he gets used to watching it. The female protagonist's acting skills are really hard to bear. From beginning to end, she looks a little scared and incredible. She seems to be stupid and stupid, and she can't see any emotional changes. And why are they getting along well? I don't understand, the relationship is inexplicable!"
These are pretty good. Some of the disgusting male audiences could not bear it anymore and sweared directly on the Internet.
"I can't stand the heroine's expression of being desperate from beginning to end! Who can tell that they are in love? The pace is too slow, a bad movie! I'm wasting my time!"
"The subject matter is old, the plot is boring, the style is stupid and ridiculous, the worst vampire movie I have ever seen!"
"A piece of shit... I feel like I'm reading too many inferior girl comics!"
"Bella can completely feed Edward the menstrual blood every month, otherwise it would be a waste."
I have to say that some genius audiences have great ideas that can make the original author Stephanie Mel collapse directly.
In the movie "Twilight", male audiences have formed a sharp opposition between female audiences. In the past, popular female movies such as "Magic" or "Juno", although there are obviously more female audiences than male audiences, they have not had such completely different views.
The girl who is intoxicated with romance and Mary Sue will certainly not give up when she sees someone scolding her for her wonderful dream.
A super Mary Sue girl from Disney's big star stood up.
Hannah Montana's actor Miley Cyrus responded to the insults of "Twilight" by male audiences as fans of "Twilight".
"In terms of this movie, it seems that most people like girls, and most people scold them are hooligans. If you position yourself as a girl, there is no reason not to let you like such pure and beautiful love; if you position yourself as a hooligan, you will definitely have a contemptuous smile on your lips, and say everything~"
"It's like when you are innocent young men and women, you look down on those unrestrained and mature men and women, and think they are unconventional, unethical, dirty, and dirty. When you hear them telling very pornographic and violent jokes, you can't help but turn your head and your eyes are flashing with anger."
"When you finally grow up to mature men and women, you will look down on those luoli suka, thinking that they have no knowledge, no experience, and are brainless."
"From the hooligan side, these handsome men and beauties with good looks are ridiculous. Especially when the author's aunt cheated so much money with such a love story, she felt even more jealousy in her heart."
"From the girl's side, I know that the man who has red lips, white teeth, tall and handsome, strong body, strong eaves, car, house, immortality, evil eyes, gentleness, passion, protection, and strong desires, and knows how to restrain my desires, does not exist at all, but I can't help but follow yy..."
