Chapter 126 Public Opinion War

"On July 1, "Independence Day", which has a production cost of up to $100 million, was released in North America as scheduled..."

In the studio used for live broadcast, Gene Siskel sat on the sofa in front of the camera and said to Roger Albert opposite, "After the release of this film, it encountered unanimous bad reputation criticisms across the United States. Some media and critics even gave the film zero points. Duke Rosenberg, who had been smoothly, encountered huge trouble. ︾"

It seems that Duke's movies are really uninteresting, he asked, "Roger, can you analyze the reasons?"

"The failures encountered by Duke Rosenberg were actually caused by many reasons."

As if he was the most authoritative expert in the film industry, Roger Albert calmly began to analyze, "Let's talk about the film itself first. The plot and structure of "Independence Day" itself have serious problems."

"Friends who have watched the video and even the trailer should be able to see that "Independence Day" is another story of an alien, another fantasy of the United States saving the world. When aliens attacked, the world fell into panic. Humans with the US president as the core launched a counterattack against the aliens. In the end, world peace has lasted for too long in Hollywood!"

"And this one is the worst I've ever seen. The plot is thin, the loopholes are everywhere, the language is shriveled, and the special effects are simple!"

Siskel asked at the right time, "Roger, can you give a few examples?"

"The most typical problem of computer viruses removing alien protective covers, as long as anyone with a little knowledge of computers knows that computer viruses exist based on the infrastructure of the entire computer. Is the alien system the same as humans? Or are they using the Dos operating system? Or Intel's CPU?"

"In addition, the sensationality of the film is too cheap and rough..."

With the cooperation of Siskel, Roger Albert sarcastically sarcastically from the plot to the structure, from logic to lines.

"Duke Rosenberg's first two films, "Life and Death Hour" and "Brave the Deadly Island", still received some praise, and "Independence Day" was obviously his Waterloo."

Following the established procedures, Siskel asked again, "Roger, is the failure of "Independence Day" related to the decline in Duke and Rosenberg's own directing level?"

This is not just for the movie, but Roger Albert has no intention of stopping. "I once talked to Duke Rosenberg that his problem is obvious. First, the desire for destruction during filming is too strong, which completely overwhelms the pursuit of film art."

After a moment of pause, he seemed to be organizing the right language. "The second is related to his personal thoughts. It is not difficult to see that Duke Rosenberg's mind is that business and box office are the first. As for the quality of the movie, it is more than the bottom."

Before his partner could continue to ask questions, Roger Albert said directly, "Independence Day, Duke Rosenberg has three movies released. From these three movies, it can be seen that his filmmaking skills are limited, and they are just like those. Over time, you will naturally get tired of it."

"Can you analyze it in more detail?" Siskel asked again.

"certainly!"

Roger Albert cleared his throat and then said, "First, I love to show off my skills. Bright sports footage, sharp editing style, and hot special effects scenes. This is the most typical style of Duke Rosenberg. It is also the place where the audience talks about his first two films. It is indeed very satisfying to watch. These even blend into his blood and become an inseparable part of his genes..."

"The characteristics of love show skills are never changed in three films. Duke Rosenberg has never changed. In contrast, his narrative ability is gradually changing, and it is getting worse and worse! "Independence Day" is the representative! The story is perfunctory, the characters are stereotyped, and there are a lot of logical loopholes. All of these make "love show skills" more and more annoying."

"The second and third techniques are abused. It has been a few years since "Life and Death" and now. Duke Rosenberg cannot see any progress. He abused slow motion, abused wide angles, abused explosions. Endless explosions, retired police engaged in terror explosions, and the rebels of the US team also exploded. Aliens still exploded. Everyone used all their strength to catch up with all the time to explode, and then the protagonists wearing invincible halos escaped from the explosion in elegant slow motion!"

"Third, no restraint! For those extra car chases, explosions, slow motions, special effects, Duke Rosenberg doesn't care about deleting the plot of the movie again and again, and has no intention of considering artistic and humanistic care! Instead, he shows his show and swagger to the extreme, such as his personal very complacent shot, a bomb fell from the F-18 Bumblebee to the Devil's Island and triggered a huge explosion, calling himself a 'bomb perspective'. To put it bluntly, this is just an explosion game for him to entertain himself."

Through cable TV, this episode has been spread to many people. Some people think that what Roger Albert said makes some sense, especially those who often watch his film reviews in their forties, while others think that he is just picking on it for the sake of picking things, such as those in their twenties.

"It's purely jealous, I love explosion movies and fast-paced movies. Who can compare to Duke? Rosenberg?"

In front of the TV, a young audience was muttering, "These film critics are just a few high-end trolls. They think they are tall and elegant, but in fact they don't know what they are talking about."

Someone said this, "It will not be good to watch movies with jealousy and prejudice, no matter how many times you watch them."

Everyone has different views on everything, but people will be influenced by environmental public opinion. It is hard to say what Roger Albert's show will bring to Duke and Independence Day.

Near midnight, Sarah, a female reporter from the Los Angeles Times, said goodbye to Duke and Nancy, walked out of a high-end restaurant, drove directly back to the newspaper office, preparing to complete the tasks assigned by the editor overnight so that she could be reported to the newspaper in time tomorrow.

The finger fell on the keyboard of the typewriter and made a crisp sound. Sarah was sad to find that she, who was determined to be a film critic, would probably stand opposite to the film critic this time, and her dream of film critics would even be shattered in the future.

But she can't control so much, this media job is the foundation of survival.

It was not until midnight that Sarah handed over the manuscript to the editor. The editor quickly typed it, added it to the pages that had been left long ago, and then passed it to printing factories scattered throughout the United States, printed and published, and delivered to users in every corner of North America.

Due to communication with the producer and distributor in advance, Duke did not participate in North America's publicity notices like other actors, but instead focused on the already-opened public opinion war.

The sun had just climbed up the horizon on Sunday when the sun set on the beach in Santa Monica. Duke ran into his home along the beachfront, went back to the room upstairs and took a shower, then changed into dry clothes and walked down. When he entered the restaurant, his mother was already sitting inside, waiting for him to enjoy breakfast together.

"Good morning, mom." Duke sat down and picked up the knife and fork, "Are you going to New York today?"

"Well..." Mother nodded, "New York is the fashion center of North America, and now Santa Fia's work is shifting to the East Coast."

"It's time to hire a professional manager to manage the company," Duke suggested.

"I don't want to retire yet." Mrs. Leah directly rejected, "and there is nothing to do after retirement."

After knowing her mother's character, Duke stopped talking and turned to the maid and said, "Allie, is the Los Angeles Times here today? Ah, thank you!"

The maid quickly delivered the newspaper, and Duke flipped directly to the entertainment page, and the front page headline was his exclusive interview.

Duke usually doesn’t pay much attention to the media’s evaluation of himself. Business directors like him don’t have any good comments in professional media, but today is different. This is the beginning of a public opinion war!

"Duke Rosenberg, who has a tall and strong figure, has a fearless momentum in every move, and even his words convey a signal of his master's courage. Our reporter met this Hollywood director in his studio in Santa Monica. You can imagine Duke Rosenberg as a fighter who never gives up, just like a bullfighter who dominates the field in Madrid, and an artist who is good at creating destruction in the entertainment industry that pleases the audience..."

"When our topic came to Independence Day, which costs $100 million, Duke, now 24, laughed at the pressure he had under. If a director wants to make a good reputation in the film industry, he must have both pressure and adrenaline. This is his original words."

"When he talked about why he was filming Independence Day, he replied that - I just wanted to please the public and bring the simplest and purest happiness to the audience."

"When asked why there are always so many special effects in his movies, Duke Rosenberg gave an unexpected explanation - now using a video recorder, you can see movies everywhere on TV stations. Why can you attract everyone to come to the theater and watch your movies specifically?"

"The endless explosion scenes, deafening noises, dangerous pursuits and fights, the destruction of coordinated buildings everywhere, and the popular jokes are all the reasons why a large number of viewers like Duke Rosenberg's movies. His first two movies "Speed ​​of Life and Death" and "Brave the Deadly Island" have achieved great success, and "Independence Day" is no exception. After winning a box office of $22.45 million on Friday, the film won another $24.29 million on Saturday, and it was not a problem to sell it."

"However, the professional reputation of the film seems to be a bit troublesome. The reporter also specifically asked Duke Rosenberg's opinion on the fierce critics' critics..." (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
