Box office discussion about "Before Sunrise". Although only eight media outlets participated. But there are different opinions. There is simply no way to find a clear vein. The fastest update visit wèn:.shuhāh А.

Among the eight media outlets, the highest single-theater box office prediction is the "Salt Lake City Weekly", who believes that "before sunrise" is definitely capable of achieving a single-theater box office of 25,000 US dollars; The New York Post has the lowest box office forecast, and they think the work should be aiming for $1,500 at the box office.

And the highest prediction about the total box office is the "Chicago Tribune". But in the end, I still think." Before Sunrise" has a good chance of grossing over $7 million. In other words. That is, to break the results of the "crazy clerk". became the new box office champion of Sundance-born films; And the lowest overall box office prediction is still the New York Post. The goal of this work is not to the cinema box office. It is more practical to focus on the videotape market. If the movie can get 500,000 at the box office, it should be celebrated. Then pinned its hopes on the success of relying on the videotape to recover the cost." If you're lucky. Perhaps, probably, probably, it can be profitable - provided that the propaganda strategy works".

It can be seen. Due to the peculiarity of "before sunrise". There is some confusion in the major media outlets.

In fact, it can also be known from another side. After experiencing the pattern of the previous works - the media sang down and ended up slapping yourself in the face - . Now the media is also aware. Hugo has grown into a veritable top superstar in three years' time. His box office appeal has been verified many times. So they no longer blindly assume that Hugo's choice of work will fail. Even with the tricky label of "independent film". This. It's the Matthew effect. At the same time, it is also a subtle and earth-shaking change in media cognition.

The Chicago Tribune predicted a seven-million-dollar box office. For such a special work as "Before Sunrise". It's already a very bold and bold number. It can even be called a big victory.

Half of the media believe that "before sunrise" can still achieve good results. Perhaps not as brilliant as Hugo's previous works. But there is no problem in recovering costs and achieving profitability; Half of the media believe that "before sunrise" is subject to independent attributes. After all, it's still hard to make a difference. The overall environment of Hollywood, the overall environment of the entire North American film market. There is still no atmosphere that is as suitable for art films and independent films to be popular in mainstream cinemas as the European market.

In the midst of this chaos." New York Post" mockery and firmness. Unique. It has become a beautiful landscape.

Objectively speaking. It's hard to fall out completely between the news media and the artists. This is the same as the relationship between artists and film companies. Because Hollywood is still a business after all. There are only absolute interests. There are no absolute enemies. This is especially true between the media and entertainers. Even if the artist hates the media to the bone. Even at the expense of a big fight. The media will not pass up any opportunity to break the news.

But the relationship between the New York Post and Hugo is very special. Originally, there was no hatred between the two, and there was nothing to do with it. Honestly." The New York Post hasn't even really interviewed Hugo. But it's so delicate.

In the midst of the Michael Jackson affair." New York Post: "Accident on the wrong side of the line -- or not an accident. It's just that he just happened to be the typical perpetrator in the maelstrom of witch trials created by Hugo. And several times before and after in the news events related to Hugo." The New York Post "has not been able to pick the right side -- or it is more accurate to have the upper hand." Thereupon. This led to the "box office gamble" that began to boil, went through a boom, and ended without anyone caring.

The New York Post has endured several blows before and after. Now sales are actually down a bit compared to before Colin Mailer took office. Among the top 10 best-selling newspapers in the United States. At one point, it climbed to sixth place. Now it's down straight to ninth. Only temporarily ahead of the Houston Chronicle.

This is an insult to Colin: the Houston Chronicle, which is a country newspaper and the New York Post is a long-established newspaper based in Greater New York. There is absolutely no comparison

Originally, News Corp., the parent company of the New York Post, also wanted to get Colin promoted. But now not only is there no promotion. And the existing positions will also be lost. At the first half of 1994 at the summary meeting. Rupert Murdoch criticized Colin by name. This is the biggest stain on Colin's career. Rupert also said politely: If Colin doesn't want to be in charge of the New York Post, there are many people interested in the position.

Colin certainly knows this.

This creates an irresolvable hatred between Colin and Hugo. This is an intrinsic conflict of interest. It took so much effort for Colin to climb to where he is today. Naturally, he won't rest on his laurels. I will not let my hard work be ruined.

But Colin learned his lesson, and he knew what happened to Tracy Jobs. He also understands Anthowart's predicament. What's more. He has personally experienced several painful defeats. So. Colin has a wealth of experience.

Colin knows. Their defeat was not that Hugo was too strong. It's that they're too eager and too aggressive. For example, if Colin doesn't directly provoke Hugo. Just a hint from the newspaper. The result may be different: he can provoke and provoke Hugo. But at the same time, it doesn't set yourself on fire. Even if the gamble is lost. He can also continue to hype up a new round of topics - albeit a bit of a loss of face. But the face of the media is in front of real interests. Nothing.

Because for the media. In fact, the media accuses artists, secretly photographs artists, and smears artists. That's pretty much the norm; Meantime. The media deliberately provokes the artist to create news. It is also one of the important means. Just master the scale. Thanks to the protection of freedom of the press and freedom of speech by law. The media can be invincible.

This is not a ploy. It's a cycle that has formed after years of Hollywood's development. This is also the reason why artists are always at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the media. Take Marlon Brando and Ron Clara, for example. Marlon has already beaten Ron to the hospital. But Ron stalked Malone again with a football helmet. stunned to make the grumpy Malone helpless.

So. Anthony Stewart grew. He is looking for the right way to spy on Hugo. Harvest some news. But it's a pity that the shadow inside him is too big. It will still take a while; Meantime. Colin himself is looking for an effective way to deal with Hugo. He's not going to throw up his hands in surrender. Opposite. He wants to use Hugo to take the New York Post to the next level. This time. He doesn't want a promotion. What he wanted was for the New York Post to earn countless benefits for Hugo. But Hugo had no way to stop it. This is the most painful revenge.

Colin has been lurking, looking for an opportunity." Life and Death Hour". Actually, there aren't many opportunities." Vulgar" before its release. It's just the momentum of the Cannes Palme d'Or. He really didn't need to mix it in. So during the release of "Vulgar", the "New York Post" disappeared for a while. The results also proved Colin's correct judgment." Vulgar" completed the feat of defying the sky. A feat that will make the New York Post slide further into the abyss.

But now "before sunrise" is different. This work is simply a "turnaround" tailor-made for Colin. From subject matter to content. From the cast to the production zuò, it is almost a work full of loopholes.

But. Colin won't be too aggressive this time. He knows it well. Now Hugo is already a top superstar. Even if "before sunrise" really fails. Nor can he shake his position - not only because of this work only invested 2.5 million. Even if you fail, you can't talk about breaking your muscles and bones at all; All the more because it's just a work: it takes a punch to ruin a superstar.

So. In Colin's opinion. He should take a long-term view. Be a little more cautious and cautious in this encounter. It is only right to seek the development of the future."' Before sunrise; Is it really a wise choice?" The New York Post "reported with such a headline.

In the midst of the report. Colin said. After experiencing the great success of several successive works. Hugo seems to have been carried away by success. Think you can do anything. The selection of works is also becoming more and more off-the-beaten-edge. From the 'speed of life and death; to the vulgar, to the present's before sunrise, to the personality of one over the other. One is weirder than the other. One is more dangerous than the other. The success of the previous few bold choices blinded Hugo. Let him start to become arrogant. Think that your choice can always create a zào miracle. The audience will always cheer. But he forgot about it. What audiences crave is a great movie. And not Hugo's films. The movie itself is the core. Not Hugo. Hugo, on the other hand, is just one part of the film industry.

When Hugo turned down again and again the cooperation requests of the big film companies. When Hugo ignored the work of 10 million dollars again and again. This is not only a sign of Hugo's arrogance, but also a move to break the rules of the industry. It's hard to imagine. An actor who has five consecutive box office works of more than 100 million yuan still gets a salary of more than 100,000 US dollars. How can studios be willing to pay other actors tens of millions of dollars to make films? ”

That's where Colin comes in. It is also his usual method: the posture of worrying about Hugo and speaking for the industry. Put yourself on the moral high ground. Thus gaining the trust of readers. Seemingly. Colin was actually worried about Hugo's career prospects. Every sentence is for Hugo. The tone of the serious voice is as if the elders are caring about the juniors.

But the conversation changed. The content has changed again.

"I think this movie is too daring. Let's not talk about good or bad. But everyone knows. The clothes design of London Fashion Week is genius. But it doesn't work for everyone. That's just the way it is. As a real yàn sex movie. Hugo made too many attempts. It also seems too aggressive. Maybe it's going to be a disaster. I also hope that this will be a wake-up call for Hugo.

Due to the personality and niche nature of the film. It's hard to hope for a movie's box office. A single box office of $1,500 and a total of $500,000 is a more sensible goal.

Only hopefully. Don't let this catastrophe be too turbulent. ”

Colin is indeed a wise man. This time the provocation is clearly more subtle and more effective than during the "box office bet" period. At the same time, the position of the "New York Post" is clearly expressed: the whole text is releasing a message."' Before sunrise; to hit the streets".

"Before Sunrise" has not yet been released. The controversy over the box office of its films has been very loud. This is a strange phenomenon. But. It's a mule and a horse. After all, I still have to take it out and yo-yo. In the end, it is up to the audience to decide.

Colin vs. Hugo. Second round. What will be the result this time? ）.
