Chapter 940 Big Gift Package
After the premiere, without Ronan's expectations, the reputation of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" quickly began to polarize, and the most typical one is the two major movie rating systems on the Internet.
Rotten Tomatoes, which are based on collecting reviews of film critics, were lifted from the ban on the second day of its premiere, with a freshness of only 60%, just passing the exam.
This visual feast that shows off skills and highlights the style of the picture has never been a dish for film critics.
On IDC, which mainly scores the audience, the average starting score of "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" is as high as 8.3 points.
Words such as "heart-wrenching", "epic" and "visual feast" are the most frequently seen among movie fans' comments.
In the reception room of the Relativity Building, Zach Schneider was sitting on the sofa, waiting for Ronan to come, and was reading a newspaper with a famous film critic's comment on "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta".
"...This is a technique used by MV directors. Directors in the film industry disdain to play with such frivolous skills!"
Zach Schneider was a little angry when he saw this comment.
The door of the reception room opened at this time. Ronan happened to walk in, glanced at Zach Schneider, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zach Schneider quickly calmed down, first greeted Ronan with a smile, then signaled to the film critic column in the newspaper, and said: "They just opened their mouths, moved their pens, or typed the keyboard a few times, and used vicious language to reject other people's hard work for a year, two or even several years."
Ronan understood and said, "Zach, don't care about these things. You can never convince a group of trolls. They can always find reasons to swear."
Zach Schneider nodded silently and said, "I just feel a little uncomfortable."
"You have to think so." Luo Nan said casually: "What else can these people do except sit in front of the computer and open their mouths and squirts?"
He took a newspaper casually: "Look, this is the movie fan reviews collected by Cinema Sore after the premiere. They averaged a score of "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors"!"
Zach Schneider took it and took a look. He didn't have long been in the film industry and was easily led by film critics, and he gradually found a balance.
"The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" is beautiful in the picture, the music is shocking, the story is passionate, and people are excited to watch it. This kind of visual blockbuster is a good movie for me!"
Ronan asked at this time: "Zac, you came to see me early in the morning. Is there anything wrong?"
Zach Schneider smiled and said, "My two movie contracts with Relativity Entertainment have been completed. Ronan, without your support, I would not have been today. I will come here to say thank you."
Ronan smiled: "You're welcome, cooperation is mutual benefit."
Zach Schneider said again: "I may have to participate in Warner Bros.'s movie plan next. I can't go to some of the promotional announcements later. Please forgive me."
Ronan waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter." He asked, "How is the preparations for "Watchmen"?"
"The work has just begun," Zach Schneider thought for a while and said briefly: "What's more, we have to wait until Monday."
Ronan understands the meaning of this. I guess Warner Bros. will not easily reuse Zach Schneider if he doesn't see the box office of "The Three Hundred Warriors".
"Be patient." Ronan said slowly: "It's just a few days. The film company actually has to consider all aspects, and it's normal for some concerns."
Zach Schneider said: "I know, after all, Warner Brothers have to entrust me with important tasks."
Having said that, Zach Schneider was somewhat dissatisfied. Relativity Entertainment and Ronan had a Chinese director joining Shahai Entertainment some time ago, becoming a producer and executive of the production company, as well as option rewards...
That's just a director who shoots horror movies.
What about him? After the contract expired, Ronan and Relativity Entertainment had no plans to sign contracts continuously.
Fortunately, there are Warner Bros. and DC Comics. If everything goes well, he will find a suitable position in it and even become a big figure in Hollywood's future.
Hollywood is so big, there is always a place for him to play.
The conversation was about to end, and Ronan shook hands with Zach Schneider: "I wish you greater success in your cooperation with Warner Bros."
"Thank you." Zach Schneider was full of confidence: "I will."
On Friday, "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" was released in North America. As a large-scale R-level film, its distribution range is far less than that of PG or PG-13. Even with the current extremely outstanding distribution capabilities and brand influence it has formed on theater companies, it has only won 3,450 premiere theaters.
Even so, "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" still burst out with glory beyond ordinary people's imagination.
On the first day of North America's release, the film won a box office of up to $29.54 million.
Even though many people have already predicted this, such a high box office figure is still surprising. After all, the production cost of this film is only $60 million.
In today's Hollywood, it is just an ordinary medium-sized production.
Looking at the history of film, such single-day box office results can rank third among all R-level films, second only to "The Matrix 2: Reloading" and "The Passion of the Passion".
The popularity of box office results and the hot release of cinemas have further boosted the topic of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta".
North American media and Iran have begun a new round of mutual harm, and the huge map cannons have even pulled European and Arabs in.
For American media, it is good to fire map guns for a while, and it is good to fire them for a while.
The European media, which was originally on the sidelines, were already ready to end up impatiently.
Of course, everyone should hype up the topics with high popularity. Why do you only make the American and Iranians happy?
Focusing on the history of Hot Spring Pass, ancient ethnic composition and cultural heritage, the media in several aspects fired from the air and sprayed them happily.
No party can convince the other party in this kind of thing.
As for the historical truth, is that important?
On the one hand, compared with images, text is always weak; compared with legends, truth is always weak.
There is history in the world, but if there are more people who have changed, there will be no history.
In other words, history loses the truth from the moment it happens.
Hollywood film chambers feel guilty about this?
Is it possible for people like Ronan?
Are there few movies in Hollywood that tamper with history? Will Hollywood producers care about tampering with history?
What is the true face of Hollywood producers like Ronan? In fact, most countries and regions have known this over the years.
These profit-oriented producers have done more than a few times to discredit history or other things for the sake of profit?
Hollywood has always been the first priority in business, and major film companies are marketing experts. Creating or exploiting controversy is an effective means to gain popularity.
Even more crazy, Sony Columbia Pictures has filmed films like "Interview".
Compared to what they did, Ronan is definitely a very conscientious and bottom-line producer in Hollywood.
It is said that Wall Street is helping vampires. In terms of being slutty, Hollywood is not giving in.
Faced with the Iranian assists, Ronan and Relativity Entertainment could not turn a blind eye and listen, so they could only accept this gift package happily.
Facts have also proved that after this gift package was really opened, what was revealed was a considerable amount of money.
Although Universal Pictures' "Break Up Men and Women" and Paramount Pictures' "Crazy Father" have started paintings on a large scale this weekend, these two films are not competitive in the face of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", and they can only look up at "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" to top the North American box office rankings.
This film started painting in North America for three days on weekends, and it earned $77.89 million in 3,450 theaters.
The box office in North America overwhelmed production costs in the first weekend, and the box office was booming!
At the same time, this is also the third highest R-rated film in the North American market to open the box office after "The Matrix 2: Reloading" and "The Passion of the Passion".
"The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" undoubtedly became a star-level film, and director Zach Schneider naturally became a dazzling star director.
Many people in the Hollywood industry are looking at Zach Schneider. "The Hollywood Reporter" even uses Zach Schneider as the front page character in the new issue, praising the British director for his bright future!
Facing a box office of $77.89 million, Warner Bros. is instigating three key figures of the Justice League Cinema Universe project, and at this time, something is truly confirmed.
Charles Rowan looked at the box office data and extremely high audience reputation of "The Three Hundred Warriors" and said: "The data will not lie. The market has fully proved that Zach Schneider is a very excellent commercial film director and is suitable for the superhero type."
Diego Harris, the president of DC Comics, echoed: "It's hard for us to find a director who is more suitable for DC Comics than Zach Schneider. He did a really good job. The film "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" is also suitable for DC Comics in terms of its style."
Charles Rowan said: "I have had enough communication with Zach, including the Watchman he is preparing for. Zach always believes that movie adaptations must respect comics and restore comic classics!"
He emphasized: "I agree very much with this."
The two looked at Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tessulhara, who also made a decision: "Well, I will push Zach Schneider's proposal to the board of directors for discussion. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be able to pass."
Diego Harris and Charles Rowan both laughed.
Kevin Teshura said: "The Green Lantern project and Watcher must speed up the progress. Zach Schneider directed "Watcher", "Green Lantern"..."
