"Unexpectedly, 'Fast & Thrill/Emotion 5' has received rave reviews, showing the potential of dark horses, and the suspense of the opening battle has increased sharply!"

The premiere detonated to critical acclaim, and 'Fast & Thrill 5' moved forward in a low-key manner. ”

……

"Surprise! Hall and Lawrence have been dating for three months?"

The last one is obviously a scandal about fishing in troubled waters, and I can't count it if I just want to rub the hot spots, but despite this, this news has caused a lot of discussion on the Internet, and it can be seen from this side that the premiere of "Fast and Exciting / Emotional 5" has achieved a sensational response, and any topic is the focus.

The next day, the entertainment headlines of the major news were undoubtedly dominated by "Fast and Thrill/Emotional 5", and more than 300 print media outlets were the first to give coverage, more precisely, as long as the news media with the entertainment section, no one would miss the lively premiere - or rather, no one would miss the opening battle.

Before the premiere, Nathan once complained that in this showdown, why people are generally not optimistic about "Fast and Thrill/Love 5", in his opinion, this series can shoot the fifth part, and the fan base must not be underestimated...... This work does have the ability to create great results.

Not only Nathan, but many laymen think so too. But in fact, the industry generally regards "Fast and Thrill/Emotion 5" as a dark horse, and it is not without reason.

In the final analysis, the subject matter is the fatal factor. From a general point of view, men are the main force in the summer market, and men have a certain hobby for luxury cars and racing cars, and the mass base of such movies should be very broad. But people have overlooked one important point: it is not an easy task to shoot a racing movie with new ideas, tricks, and quality.

The "Speed and Excitement/Emotion" series itself faced such a dilemma, simply flying speed and flying duels, the script is difficult to support 90 minutes, and it is difficult to create new ideas, so the third part chose the drift, which is very popular in Asian racing, but it fell apart in the United States.

It's not just "speed and excitement/emotion", in the entire North American film history, there are not a few movies about racing or drag racing, "Life and Death Speed", "Taxi Express", "Death Speed", "Speed 60 Seconds", "Cars" and so on, but among them, only one movie, "Life and Death", has achieved profitability.

There is only one.

"Taxi Express" was a huge hit at the box office in France, but in North America, it was not adapted to the soil and the results were bad; "Speed 60 Seconds" gathered two big names, Nicolas-Cage (Nicolas-Cage) and Angelina-Jolie (Angelina-Jolie), and finally the North American box office barely exceeded 100 million, bringing nearly 30 million losses to Disney's Bowei Pictures; even the invincible and invincible Pixar was also because of "Cars" suffered the first comprehensive collapse of North American word-of-mouth, and the box office revenue was only barely flat.

People refer to the "Fast & Thrill" series as B-grade movies, and the scale of investment is only part of the reason.

In addition, Universal's caution is also an important reason, from the investment cost, to the cast lineup, to the publicity expenses, "Fast and Exciting / Emotional 5" can not be regarded as a blockbuster, even if the cost of the fifth part reaches 120 million, but the overall specifications still do not meet the standards of summer blockbusters, or continue the previous B-grade film publicity routine - just a B-grade film with a relatively high investment.

To sum it simply, the overall momentum and weight of "Speed and Excitement/Emotion 5" are not at the same level as "Thor" at all. It's like a boxing match, two fighters of different weights. It's not about who is more powerful, but the magnitude itself is different.

But now, this dark horse has shown incredible explosiveness, showing excellent combat effectiveness from the premiere.

On the one hand, according to incomplete statistics, a total of more than 1,460 spectators attended the premiere, setting a new record for the number of viewers participating in the non-summer premiere, of which 291 spectators responded to the scene of Lan Li's aid, which was reminiscent of the premiere scene of "Twilight".

Such a grand occasion is really impressive, and the so-called concern about the weak fan base in the market seems to be becoming a joke.

On the other hand, compared to "Thor", the star of "Fast and Furious / Love 5" is undoubtedly a lot bleaker, but last night's premiere was full of scenery, Seth Rogan, Jennifer Lawrence, Ryan Gosling and other topics arrived on the scene, making Lan Li in the limelight, and later Scarlett Johansson also recorded a video expressing that she was "unable to attend" because of her contract - she starred in "Iron Man 2" last year , officially became a part of the Marvel Universe, and this ridicule also attracted laughter from reporters.

If it weren't for the surprise video that followed, the best connections of the night would have stolen the limelight from Lan Li, even Paul, who invited his friend Jessica-Alba to attend. This also makes people realize that Chris Hemsworth's previous slander is false, which in turn adds to the credibility of the "borrowed door". However, the subsequent surprise video actually has the credit of Lan Li:

Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg recorded a video congratulating Lan Li and Van on the premiere of their collaborative work. This was definitely the biggest topic of the night - people only remembered at this time that Fan had starred in "Saving Private Ryan" when he was just starting out, and Lan Li was even more not.

Originally, people were still worried that the starlight would be dim and affect the follow-up publicity of the premiere, but they didn't expect that the star-studded night was simply dizzying. Today's major media reports have locked their attention on these focus figures, so it's not lively. Universal's lack of publicity may have a negative impact on the box office of the film's premiere, and this concern seems to be dissipating little by little.

Of course, these are only potential influencing factors, and it is still unknown how much it can actually contribute to the box office of the movie. The most important thing is, after all, the reaction of the audience and film critics.

After the premiere, a total of four media outlets, including the Seattle Post, conducted on-site research interviews to get a first-hand look at the audience's thoughts.

The Seattle Post interviewed 103 audience members that night, of whom 75 said the film was wonderful and far exceeded expectations, 21 said the movie was good and met the expected standards, and seven viewers thought the movie was boring, even if they didn't watch it.

Later, when asked "will you recommend friends to come to watch", a full 99 viewers gave a positive answer, and only 4 viewers said they would not; and for the summer opening battle of "Fast & Thrill/Emotion 5" and "Thor", 57 viewers said they would not watch "Thor", but supported "Fast & Thrill/Emotion 5", 32 viewers said they would definitely watch "Thor", and 14 viewers said they would decide after looking at the media evaluation of "Thor" and the audience's reputation.

The most interesting thing is that the interview also mentioned the "best part", with 88 viewers mentioning "Lanley Hall" or "new characters", 74 viewers mentioning "The Last Drag Race" or "Armageddon", and 27 viewers mentioning "Vin Diesel", as for the other various keywords, there are many more, but they are not mentioned so often.

As we all know, the audience who is willing to attend the premiere is basically the group of audiences who are full of expectations for this movie, and they can also be regarded as audiences who love this movie. Therefore, their evaluations will be relatively more positive.

But despite this, more than 93% of the audience expressed their expectations or above, and more than 96% of the audience said that they would recommend it to their friends, which is still appalling. To sum it up: the audience expressed great affection.

Not only the Seattle Post, but also three other media outlets that conducted on-site surveys came up with similar results, with a popcorn satisfaction rating of an incredible 99 percent just based on the audience base for the premiere.

Although it is said that the audience base of the premiere is small, the ingredients are loyal, and the reference value is not large, and in the end, it still depends on the theater score after the premiere weekend and the popcorn index of Rotten Tomatoes, but the rave reviews on the night of the premiere still amazed countless people!

In the box office war in the summer file, the evaluation of film critics is still an important criterion, but it is undeniable that the influence is relatively limited, and works like "Transformers", which are constantly scolded, can always create box office miracles with their wonderful visual effects;

Now, the premiere of "Fast & Excitement 5" is over, and they have made an incredible start in terms of audience response, and the emergence of Lan Li has added some magic to the film, which has made people more curious: what kind of new character can inject so much vitality into the series?
