The film was screened for more than two hours. Billy Emerson could not count how many yawns he had yawned. If it weren't for the occasional explosion, he might have fallen asleep long ago. His two companions, one was bored and playing mobile games, and the other was simply concentrating on coke and popcorn, obviously lacking any interest in the movie being screened.
As an air combat film enthusiast, Billy Emerson is one of the few people around who can watch movies seriously. Although this movie is not as boring as "Dynasty" that can make the audience exit early, its viewability is really average.
For Billy Emerson, after more than two hours of long suffering, he was disappointed in addition to disappointment.
As the screening was approaching, I looked back and thought about the plot I had seen before. Billy Emerson couldn't help but curl his lips. The whole film made people like very few things, but there were countless annoying things.
For example, some plots and lines. Although the screenwriter tries to avoid using the lines and behaviors of new humans born in the 1980s to package the characters belonging to their great-grandfather's generation in the film, no matter the protagonist, supporting roles, positive and negative roles in the film, they are either too old to handle characters and related plots, or ridiculously ridiculously, and it doesn't look like an air battle film about courage and courage, but a hodgepodge of elements that combines western films, science fiction films and cartoons.
In Hollywood, hodgepodge is often synonymous with bad movies.
For example, the various performances of the pilot Rollins played by James Franko, the first male lead in the film, make people feel that "Air War Hero" is actually a western film.
This bad boy escaped to France across the ocean with the evidence of beating people on his back, and also brought the cowboy's free and casual style to the "Lafayette Air Force" that should have respected military orders in a uniform manner.
He could ride. No... he went to date a French girl in a fighter plane, and then smuggled the girl and her three nieces from the German-occupied area, but the commander would even let him pass the test easily. He could calmly land the plane on the battlefield where the fire was supposed to be plowed into sieve by both sides, and rescued the trapped comrades in the distance without any damage. It made people feel that they were not against the German army equipped with a large number of Maxim machine guns and heavy artillery, but only the Indians holding flying axes and bows.
As for the scene where he finally killed a German pilot with a pistol at a high altitude, it looks like a cowboy playing on a horse's back, but his crotch is a biplane with a speed of 100 miles per hour, and the classic laws of physics and mechanics will not have any effect on such a gangster and scientific blind cowboy.
The bleakness and obscurity of the actors in their performances is also obvious.
Although "Air War Hero" should be a group drama, except for the male lead Franco, all other pilots have pitifully few shots, and the character portrayal is insufficient, so it is naturally expected that the group drama will become a drama.
However, the male lead James Franco obviously failed the director's high hopes. Although the performance was hard, it was still superficial. Joseph Fiennes, who was acting with him, looked bitter and revenge, and his face was full of the heavy and gloom brought by the war. Unfortunately, standing with Franco, who was gangster-like, seemed to throw a match that had just been lit into a nitrogen cylinder, and he could not react at all.
Of course, Billy Emerson does not deny that James Frank's look in the film is indeed handsome, but even if he becomes more charming than Leonardo DiCaprio, he cannot save the boredom of this film alone.
During the entire film screening, David Ellison was a little restless and would look back from time to time. This was the first work he raised funds to shoot, or a large production worth hundreds of millions of dollars. It would be fake to say that he was not nervous, but what made him feel at ease was that from the screening to the end, there was no phenomenon of audience withdrawing from the audience on the premiere of "Dynasty of Heaven".
This is a good thing, isn't it?
Perhaps this is the beginning of success.
Just as David Ellison was thinking so, the subtitles slowly fell, and he turned his head slightly to look back, his eyes full of expectation.
What I expect is naturally applause, the sound of thunder and continuous applause like the sea of tide.
David Ellison has heard many people say that Duke Rosenberg's film premiere and even at the end of the screening, it always attracts the audience's spontaneous applause, and the applause can even last for nearly ten minutes.
He also wanted applause, which at least meant that the premiere audience recognized the film.
However, the subtitles had already fallen and there was no applause from David Ellison expected.
David Ellison frowned slightly, but he was not in a hurry. It is said that after many wonderful videos were released, they always attracted the audience to reminisce after the screening, and applause was inevitable.
He believed that applause would spontaneously ring.
Time passed by, and the discussion in the theater became louder and louder, which made David Ellison look back and see that many viewers had already stood up and prepared to leave, but they had no intention of applauding.
"This is..." He couldn't help but skip a beat.
At this moment, sparse applause suddenly sounded from various locations in the theater. The applause seemed to remind the audience that applause after the premiere was a kind of movie viewing etiquette. They finally slapped their palms, but the applause was not loud no matter how loud it sounded, and seemed to be a routine.
The loudest applause still comes from the first few places and where the front row guests sit.
David Ellison's face became a little ugly. The front row were all VIPs attending the premiere. How could these people be rude in public? The applause that started was not an ordinary audience at all. It was a long time ago!
Under the guidance of the tutor, the applause was so sluggish. Could it be that the video...
Thinking of this, David Ellison shook his head, and an idea naturally jumped into his mind. This was just a premiere and it didn't explain the problem, right?
"David, a great movie."
"David, it's done well."
“This movie will definitely sell out.”
Amid the applause, many people came over and smiled brightly and sent congratulations to David Ellison. David Ellison also cheered up and expressed his gratitude with a smile.
Perhaps it was because of the sincere praise on these people's faces that David Ellison gradually regained his confidence. So many people praised this film, which shows that "Air War Heroes" always has its merits.
"What do you think?"
Stand up from the seat, Erin Lauder asked Duke, “Will it cause a threat?”
"What do you think?" Duke asked back.
Erin thought for a while and said, "The special effects are done well, but it cannot hide the flaws in the plot. There are so many special effects films now, and the audience may not buy it."
After she finished speaking, she stared at Duke.
Duke understood what his friend meant, so he had to say, "My personal opinion is that the video is of medium or low level."
"Medium-lower?" Erin tilted her head and walked forward beside Duke. "Your average evaluation of David Ellison, an investor and producer who has recently entered Hollywood, is simply a compliment."
In the film industry, even if he is a cheater, there are very few directors and producers who can succeed in their first work. Even James Cameron has a not-so-best introductory production like "Pizzard 2".
In Duke's eyes, "Air War Hero" seems to be full of various elements that audiences like, such as cowboys who trigger nostalgia, battlefields full of personal heroism, such as the protagonists who coaxed the battle, and idealized the air war in Battle One to bring a sci-fi style, but these elements are combined together and will not please the audience.
The reason is simple. In the nearly twenty years of Hollywood history, hodgepodge films have never really achieved great success.
Maybe others don't know this, but Duke knows very well that among Hollywood's A-level productions, the only one that has been truly successful is "Avengers". How many years did the success of this film take and how many videos to pave the way?
In fact, after seeing the chaotic style of the film, Duke knew that the film might have a certain box office appeal, but it was very difficult to make a big hit like David Ellison and Walt Disney expected, and even a miracle would happen.
Although many people were walking towards David Ellison and others, Duke was not interested. He had watched the video with his own eyes and learned about the true appearance of his competitors. There was no need to go over and laugh at the other party.
Even if you make a few sarcasm, it will probably be of no use to the people of the Ellison family. The other side of the arrogance is often shameless.
Besides, words are the most powerful way to fight back.
What he had to do was to use various means to crack down on "Air War Heroes" on the market, so that the two fathers and sons who seemed to care about money could feel the pain in their bodies.
Even though the Ellison family is very rich, even if the film is funded through various channels, David Ellison will definitely not invest less money in this project. If the box office is defeated, the loss will definitely annoy the father and son.
Compared to the past few ridicule words that were neither salty nor light, this type of counterattack is more powerful.
Walking out of the theater, Erin Lauder and Duke got into the car one after another, and the car started in a flash. Duke looked at the rearview mirror, and some paparazzi had already followed, obviously trying to see if Erin would get out of the car.
Duke whispered to the driver, "Go to the Upper East Side."
He had no plans to go back to the hotel, and wanted to send Erin Lauder home first and then go to his mother's place. Although his mother is in Europe now, she came to New York and would have to go home to check it out.
