Compared to Dan Brown's original work, the scale of the movie is actually much smaller. If it were placed in the Middle Ages, including Dan Brown, all the crew members would be counted as one, so they would definitely be on the stolen stand.

The premiere of "The Da Vinci Code" has attracted hundreds of media reporters because there are countless curious eyes all over the world waiting to see what this adaptation of the movie with 40 million readers will look like.

Once upon a time, when Ronan watched this video, he felt it was inexplicable.

In the East, which is extremely lacking in religious background, it is understandable that the audience's reaction to getting up and leaving halfway.

The real selling point of this film is actually the popularity of religious content and the original work, and even Tom Hanks cannot become a selling point.

Instead, it became the object of complaint from movie fans.

Tom Hanks, who is under great pressure from public opinion, moved closer to the role in appearance, while actively losing weight while turning his long brush head into "flowing" long hair.

But viewers who have watched the preview of "The Da Vinci Code" are still picky about Big Tom's imitation scholar hairstyle, calling it "bare forehead and a duck tail on the back of his head"!

As for the content, this is not a very suitable object for movie adaptation.

The decryption displayed when expressed in words and the attractiveness after imagery are greatly reduced. This is not only a problem with film shooting, but also the audience is used to the eye stimulation that commercial movies will inevitably bring.

Even another controversial religious film, "The Passion of Jesus", uses controversy to attract audiences into theaters and retain audiences by whipping Jesus' torture.

The movie "The Da Vinci Code" cannot be said to be that Lang Howard is not capable enough. After all, this is one of the better directors in Hollywood's balance of art and business. It includes big-name commercial films such as "Apollo XIII" and "How the Grinch Steals Christmas", and has won the Oscar for Best Director with "Beautiful Mind".

Lang Howard spent a lot of effort on how to use pictures to express some slightly boring historical and theoretical paragraphs in the book, which led to the time used by the movie to explain it longer, and he lost energy in the tense plot promotion; in terms of visual processing, he has many strokes of knowledge, such as the overlap of shots across history and the processing of oil painting texture of the pictures in the historical legends.

As for the denial of religion, such a huge investment in movies determines that it is necessary to be released on a large scale and requires compromise on scale.

This is not a loss of art, but a clever avoidance.

Therefore, the original book’s various religions are transformed into a line from Tom Hanks in the movie: Jesus is a man and a God, aren’t there enough people who die for this issue?

Inevitably, when the plot is displayed on the big screen in a picture, it loses that kind of spiritual thriller.

Ronan still remembers the night when he was in college, a roommate who knew the history of Western religion hid in bed and read the original work all night.

According to roommates, when I saw how Dan Brown subversively explained the last supper, all the hairs on my back stood up - it was not a mystical horror from ghosts or death, but the fear of weightlessness from the spiritual level when the historical common sense that he had been accustomed to was completely overturned.

He even said that this fear was only a moment, but it was enough to surpass any terrifying world created by Stephen King.

But Ronan looked at the movies screened on the big screen and showed the pictures about Jesus and feminine Peter. After watching it, he could only make people amazed, far less than the thriller that his roommates once said.

This seems to be a common problem or natural defect in movies adapted from suspense themes.

It seems that no matter how good the movie adaptation is, it will be inferior to the reasoning text.

As for the ups and downs of Tom Hanks' crew since its establishment, it is actually not difficult to understand.

After all, the original work and the film have many jokes. Now even criticisms of popular singer idols will be criticized by fans, let alone such a serious Jesus Christ?

After the premiere, when Ronan left the theater, some reporters came over to ask for an interview, but were stopped by the bodyguards.

Although you do not believe in religion, it is best not to speak up when it comes to religious beliefs.

"How does this video feel?" Ronan asked Connie who accompanied him.

"Well..." Connie thought for a moment and said, "I read the original work, the video... how to say it, I always feel that it is not as attractive as the original work."

Luo Nan nodded slightly: "Notify the Embassy Film Company to prepare for a sharp drop in box office this weekend."

Connie responded first and then asked, "Do you want to let the Embassy Film Industry create some news?"

Ronan waved his hand: "No, Tom Hanks and Preton Pictures will definitely take action. Only when the controversial voices in this film can it be possible to get more income."

The fact is just as Ronan expected. Since its release on Friday, many religious groups have protested in front of Preton Pictures, and even some conservative believers gathered in front of Tom Hanks' home.

On Friday afternoon, several members of the "Peace and Mercy" Women's Association knelt in front of the office of the district archbishop and asked the district archbishop to protest the film "The Da Vinci Code".

The district archbishop had to make concessions, publicly criticizing and filmed on Saturday: "very far-fetched, full of heresy."

More protests are also emerging, and even albinism tissues are coming out to speak out.

In order to better play the albino killer Silas, Paul Bettany is not satisfied with the pale skin unique to albino patients who are only able to wear makeup. He even dyed his blonde hair white and changed his dark blue eyes to blood red.

But this image aroused great indignation from the American albinism and pigmentation organization, which believed that such a description was a public protest statement following the ugliness of albinism by many Hollywood movies.

Protests will put pressure on the film and producers. As long as they can withstand the pressure, the pressure brought by protests will often turn into a controversial driving force.

This is a commercial society. Protests cannot prevent the film from being removed from the film, and even the theaters will reduce the screening.

As the protests became more and more popular, the number of viewers entering the theater to watch "The Da Vinci Code" is increasing.

Thanks to its huge influence and the debate caused by the film, the 4,180 theaters won by the Embassy Film Company, "The Da Vinci Code" won the box office of 31.99 million US dollars from North America on its first day of its release.

This set a single-day box office record for the North American film market in February!

Director Lang Howard even boasted about Haikou in an interview: "The best way to thoroughly understand this film is to watch it for the second time."

Preton Pictures put in twelve points of effort to build momentum for "The Da Vinci Code".

The original work is best-selling worldwide; the Vatican publicly accused the content of absurdity; Westminster Cathedral rejected heretical scenes; the Louvre welcomed the crew with open arms; the original author Dan Brown was plagued by infringement lawsuits... A series of religious controversies and gossip were hyped in North America and even the entire Western world.

Hollywood movie promotions are always full of variety, and even "honest people" like Tom Hanks will also play tricks on promotion.

And it has achieved great success.

However, the reputation of "The Da Vinci Code" is not very good. People who have read the original work generally believe that the adaptation of the film is not as exciting as the original work, and they will inevitably be disappointed.

Most people who have never seen it are not very familiar with religious history and are confused when they enter the cinema.

Even if it only lasts one day, the score of "Da Vinci Code" is only 6.6 points on the imdb scored by movie fans.

This is very rare in all the movies starring Tom Hanks.

Many people are saying that Tom Hanks is old and no longer as enterprising as he was young, but more of it is thinking about how to make money to support his retirement.

The freshness of the rotten tomatoes in the video is only 25%.

Faced with the film "The Da Vinci Code", the critics were very resentful to his past darling Tom Hanks and were angry that he did not fight.

"As a performing artist, how could you become a philandering producer like Ronan Anderson?"

These critics would not have thought that Tom Hanks, who had strictly required artistic standards, was already discussing with Dan Brown with adaptation of another religious theme, "Angels and the Devil".

However, Preton Pictures has made it clear that it will no longer cooperate with Shahai Entertainment on this film.

Ronan does not intend to continue to participate, "Angels and the Devil" will inevitably be influenced by this "Da Vinci Code".

There is no need to care about the Rotten Tomato Index, but the audience must definitely consider the reputation. The outbreak of "The Da Vinci Code" is actually consuming the audience's interest in Dan Brown and religious themes.

But in a short period of time, "The Da Vinci Code" has exploded very rapidly in the North American film market.

In the first three days of the weekend, the film won 82.17 million US dollars in 4,180 theaters in North America.

This is also the highest weekend box office record in the North American film market ever!

But the audience scores of "Da Vinci Code" are only "b" on the spot, and the box office in North America is expected to be around $240 million.

Strictly due to the poor reputation of the audience, the box office of this film in North America fell by nearly 60% the next weekend!

However, the box office revenue of $34.12 million, plus the working day income, is enough to push the film's North American box office to $141.12 million.

The controversy caused by "The Da Vinci Code" quickly spread overseas and affected the movie choices of many Western audiences.

This weekend, the film was released in many Western countries, with a total revenue of US$94.87 million in the first weekend.

Embassy Film has made a prediction on multiple data feedback from overseas markets, and the overseas box office of "Da Vinci Code" will at least double that of North America.

In some ways, extremely large readers of the Bible may become consumers of the film.

The Bible is said to be the most popular book in the world than Red Books.
