In a chain cinema in Brooklyn, New York, people in twos and threes are sitting sparsely in more than ten rows of seats. They are extremely quiet and try not to disturb each other. They are just busy with their own affairs. When there is light flashing on the screen, their godless eyes will show the focal length and just glance at the screen.
On the screen, Warner Bros. and DC Comics are showing their superhero masterpiece cat girl.
Below the screen, the audience is so numb that they seem to forget that they are watching a movie except for the occasional drool on Halle Berry''s sexy and hot figure.
The audience with poor tolerance chose to leave early. Less than half of the film was shown, and one fifth of the audience had already left.
More people stay, not because the film is so interesting, or because they have to respect the efforts of the creators. They don''t have such awareness, they are just bored to pass the time.
Christopher''s companion had already left the scene to find his girlfriend. He was single and had nothing to do, so he simply stayed. Unlike most people, his eyes were always bright.
"Well There are 17 rows of 32 seats in each row. There are 48 lights on the ceiling. Oh, no Christopher looked up and counted carefully again. "It''s 50 lights!"
Then, he fixed his eyes on the big screen. "There''s a black spot in the bottom left corner of the screen that always appears. The frequency is about 1 minute 35 seconds."
A black man sitting in the same row suddenly stretches and looks up at the screen. He feels that every time he wakes up, the film seems to have just begun.
"This movie is for the seats in the cinema!"
make complaints about it. The black man finally can''t help but stand up and leave the field in advance.
At this time, a man in the front row couldn''t help saying, "this movie is really bad!"
Just finished, the man in front turned and glared, "do you have any quality? Can you respect others? What are you talking about! Don''t you see everyone else sleeping? "
Next to this man, a girl sleeps soundly.
The girl''s name is Lina. She had insomnia for several days before, but now she can finally fall asleep.
In front of him, a man just woke up from his sleep and looked around in a trance. Finally, he thought that he was in the cinema and asked his companion, "how about the movie cat girl?"
The companion blinked, "popcorn is crisp."
"Anything else?" Seeing the empty popcorn bucket, he asked, "is that all?"
"Ah..." The companion pointed to a player in front of him and said in a low voice, "the power on password of his latest version of Nokia mobile phone is 789477. From the beginning of the movie to now, he has sent 12 short messages and played the Pac Man game to the end of the day!"
People who wake up understand that this guy didn''t go to the cinema at all!
There was a curse in front of me. It turned out that the guy who played with his mobile phone turned off his mobile phone automatically. "X, the mobile phone is dead, and the movie is still playing!"
He really wants to reach out and move the mouse to see how long the rotten movie will be over. Unfortunately, it''s a cinema, not his own computer.
The movie is finally over. Morrison ends his suffering and shakes his tired head. This is not caused by watching the movie, but by the guy in front, who has been looking around, up and down, and let him follow him bored. Since he sat down, this guy has watched his watch every one to two minutes, a total of 72 times.
This number is absolutely right.
"Morrison, is this the movie you asked us to see?"
After hearing the angry questions from the two companions nearby, and looking at the number of dollars on the movie ticket, Morrison''s tears almost came down. He invited two good friends to see the movie and invited them to dinner to make amends. Is there any reason?
"I don''t know if it''s finished?"
Behind a sleepy voice sounded, "why didn''t you wake me up?"
Said the companion, Yi can see his spirit so rotten
The companion nodded painfully, "well, I''m done. [love ↑ go △ small ↓ say △ net wqu] "
" I wipe, you''re so awesome, I''m convinced you! " He took out his wallet, took out $100 and handed it to him. "You win. Here''s the $100 we bet. Here you are."
But the companion didn''t answer it and pushed it back directly. "Forget it, I don''t want it. Don''t tell people that I''ve seen this film..."
At the end of the show, Christopher walked out of the movie hall and met an investigator. He stuffed a hand puppet of a cat girl and said, "can you talk about the movie you just saw?"
Christopher looked at the puppet in disgust, nodded and said, "yes. In a word, it sucks! It sucks! Super rotten
Then the other side asked about the score, he did not hesitate to give a D score.Before going out of the cinema, Christopher happened to meet a trash can. Without thinking about it, he threw a black skin cat doll into the trash can.
Quite a number of fans with extreme dissatisfaction out of the "cat girl" cinema, they need a place to vent, the film and television website, led by IMDB, has become the most suitable platform.
"Halle Berry is not a Catwoman at all. She''s just selling meat."
"All kinds of procrastination, all kinds of boredom, all kinds of posturing."
Only half a day on Friday, the IMDB score of "cat girl" plummeted to 1, and all kinds of bad reviews were just terrible.
In sharp contrast, the "dead waiter" next door has a strong reputation. Even if it is shown for a week, it will be popular in terms of attendance and audience figures.
When this Friday passed, according to the fresh one-day box office statistics, "the dead waiter" beat "cat girl" by $5.02 million with an absolute advantage of $17.25 million, and easily won the North American box office champion of that day.
The cat girl is in a slump.
The most direct response is the cinema. From Saturday, the major theater companies immediately lowered the film arrangement rate of "cat girl". As a new blockbuster with a production cost of 100 million US dollars, its film arrangement rate dropped to 30%. On the contrary, the film arrangement rate of "death attendants", which has a strong reputation and a steady box office growth, increased to 35% It has become a comprehensive transcendence of cat girl.
"Theaters also need to make profits..."
In a club in Burbank, Bruce Rosenblum leans on the sofa and says to Diego Harris opposite, "they can''t throw away a lot of revenue for the sake of their relationship with Warner Brothers."
Diego Harris nodded and said, "20th century fox has a good relationship with the cinema."
"Cat girl..." Bruce Rosenblum sighed. "It''s hard to turn it over."
As the CEO of DC Comics, Diego Harris didn''t want to see this situation, but knew Bruce Rosenblum was telling the truth.
DC Comics are sure to make a big hit on cat girl.
"As far as I know," Diego Harris said, "Bruce Berman has been calling the executives of three cinema companies from last night to this morning, and the effect is..."
He snorted and shook his head.
"The advantage of the dead man is too obvious." Bruce Rosenblum said, not to mention, "Bruce Berman despised Murphy Stanton too much."
Diego Harris is silent. Isn''t he the same?
"I think," he said with a heavy heart, "we should find a way to save Superman back. If Bruce Berman is allowed to continue to operate, this project is likely to become cat girl again."
After all, cat girl is only a subsidiary of Batman Series. But if superman returns, the consequences are unimaginable. Superman is not only the benchmark of DC Comics, but also the most famous superhero in the world. It is the trump card of DC Comics and Warner Brothers.
"How to save it?" Bruce Rosenblum asked back, "Diego, it''s not the first day you met Bruce Berman. You should know that he works in a dictatorial way, has a strong desire for power, and wants to intervene in any work. He won''t let us really participate in the Superman return series."
"What should we do then?" Diego Harris was worried. "Can we just sit and watch Superman fail again?"
"Bruce Berman is the CEO and has a lot of supporters at the top of the company and the group," Bruce Rosenblum shook his head. "How can we fight him? Unless he''s no longer Warner Bros. CEO. "
"It''s hard," said Diego Harris, who regretted that he should not have supported Bruce Berman to become the CEO of Warner Bros., a talented and ambitious comic hero who didn''t match his ambition. "His tenure is still very long..."
Bruce Rosenblum suddenly looked up and said, "what if he makes mistakes in two big projects? Especially superman returns. "
The production cost of this film alone is more than 250 million US dollars. If it fails, it will not be borne by several senior executives of the company after class.
"But..." Diego Harris has been working in DC Comics, and the hero of DC Comics is true love, "this This will cause irreversible damage to Superman. "
"But his stepping down can win a real turnaround for DC Comics!" Bruce Rosenblum stood up and said, "at the beginning, you didn''t pay attention to Murphy Stanton. You didn''t pay much attention to his statement and idea. You didn''t read his plan, so you followed Bruce Berman''s request to return it, but..."
He pointed to his chest. "I saw it! That was still theory at the time, and no one could prove that Murphy Stanton''s plan would succeed. Now, "the dead man" has proved his ability to us"You think he can save the movie?" Asked Diego Harris in a hurry.
Bruce Rosenblum shook his head. "It may be exaggerating to say that salvation, but I think he can reverse the decline of DC series." (to be continued). ）For mobile phone users, please browse and read for better reading experience.
