When the box office of the premiere of "Speed of Life and Death" appeared, in fact, people already knew that the balance of victory and defeat in this box office gamble had tilted, and the number of premieres at the 30 million level had almost booked a box office seat of 100 million, but everyone did not expect that the day when the dust of victory and defeat would settle would come so soon.

It took only three weeks – or more accurately 17 days – to surpass $100 million at the box office, and the New York Post lost the gamble with little to no struggle. Whether it is the "wolf" with high hopes or the tall "little ghost" among the short ones, they have not been able to snipe at the "speed of life and death", but on the contrary, they have also achieved the gorgeous counterattack of the dark horse of "speed of life and death" in the summer file.

In the past three weeks, the "speed of life and death" performance has been perfect, almost without any loopholes, starting with the grand premiere, to the enthusiastic response from the audience, to the praise from the critics, and finally to the box office success.

Although the New York Post struggled, the more they struggled, the more powerless they became, and in the end they could only become clowns.

Colin and Myler knew that it was useless to quibble, and if they were stubborn, it would only embarrass the "New York Post" even more, not to mention that when other media came to ridicule them, they would completely humiliate themselves. It is not as good as the "New York Post" to be the first to admit its mistakes, but it can win the public's favor.

So, when the box office rankings of the third weekend of June were announced, the "New York Post" already knew that the box office of "Life and Death" exceeded 100 million three days in advance, so their apology letter was officially published as soon as possible.

"Sorry!"

The large red apology became the front page of the New York Post that day. There is only one sentence in the whole page, and the bloody red has a powerful impact and shocks every reader.

Colin conceded defeat so neatly, which was unexpected by many people, who thought that Colin would be entangled for a while, and then fight with Hugo, and finally under the strong pressure of the media, he reluctantly admitted defeat. After all, bowing to artists is not an easy task, especially for the uncrowned king, it is more uncomfortable than killing them. It's not about winning or losing, it's about dignity.

But Colin didn't have any struggle, and he didn't even need to be urged by other media, so he directly admitted his mistake. Although the facts are not quibbling, this ...... It's still too weird.

However, after reading the New York Post article, it should not be strange, because Colin clearly had no intention of bowing his head.

"It's just the success or failure of a movie, and the victory of box office numbers still can't change our perception of 'life and death', and it's a step backwards for Hollywood to have such a terrible work that has been so sought after by the audience!

What's more, the film's box office success was not just a victory for Lancaster alone, but a terrible example of a top artist: Lancaster's hubris only continues to fuel the upbringing, and the situation will become more and more severe in the future, and with it Hollywood's internal decay.

We can already see another collapse of Hollywood's golden age.

However, this newspaper does what it says, victory is victory, and defeat is defeat. In this gamble about the box office, 'Life and Death' won, and this newspaper will also fulfill its promise and officially express its sincere apologies to Hugo and Lancaster. "

The New York Post's long, almost full-length article, breaks down in detail the dangers of the success of "Life and Death" for Hollywood, and the subsequent negative effects of Hugo's bad temper as a role model for entertainers. It's almost alarmist, almost saying that "Hugo will be the beginning of Hollywood's collapse".

However, after being comforted from the perspective of a painstaking person who is worried about the future of Hollywood, at the end of the article, the "New York Post" made a posture of "willing to gamble and lose", not only formally apologized, but also portrayed himself as an upright man and gentleman who is upright and fulfills his promises.

I have to say that Colin is indeed very set, the front page just a sentence of "I'm sorry" attracted everyone's attention, and the subsequent article created a perfect image of himself, and belittled the "speed of life and death" and Hugo, which is completely a righteous and awe-inspiring martyr's posture of unyielding death.

If you don't know why, you will wipe a handful of tears after reading this article, and you will be moved by the "New York Post" behavior of taking the overall situation into account.

It can be seen that even if Colin loses, he loses very decently. The New York Post will be in the spotlight for a long time to come, and they can save a lot of fame. Therefore, this "strong man broke his wrist" is definitely cost-effective.

But Colin overlooked one point: the so-called focus of attention is not something that can be done by unilateral planning, but requires the cooperation of the media. This is also the reason why the relationship between journalists and artists has always been ambiguous, because they need and restrict each other. This time, Colin's calculations clearly fell short.

The "New York Post" apologized in red on the front page, and it stands to reason that such a big news should cause a sensation in the United States, after all, they are the top 10 best-selling newspapers in the United States, and many media colleagues must be very happy to fall into the well and hack the "New York Post" to make a show. Colin waited for this moment, so that the image of the "New York Post" of bitter hatred and endurance of humiliation was completely established.

However, surprisingly, the day after the "New York Post" apologized, no media reported on the incident: Attention, there is no one! Not even the small newspapers in the New York area did it! It was as if the New York Post had never apologized at all, as if yesterday's earth-shattering news had never appeared at all.

In an instant, Colin's face changed. What does this mean? First, it means that the New York Post's apology has no way to create a more far-reaching impact; Second, if the media does not cooperate, it will become a one-man show for the "New York Post", and there will be no way to continue singing the bitter drama of bitter hatred, and third, and most importantly, the collective ignorance of the media is the exclusion of the "New York Post", which seems to mean that they have joined forces to sanction the "New York Post".

The New York Post put itself in the position of the weak, waiting for the words and words of others, but now that no one cooperates with this scene, their lonely figure of the weak has become ridiculous and ridiculous.

Colin immediately panicked: what the hell is going on?

If you look closely, it's not hard to find the truth.

Seeing the apology letter from the "New York Post", the media naturally flocked to Hugo to ask for his opinion, but Hugo refused to respond, he only said one sentence, "He said the bet, the bet was also what he said, the victory or defeat was still what he said, this is his one-man show, I have never participated in it." "

The media reacted immediately, Hugo was ridiculing that the incident was completely self-hype by the New York Post, and that he did not intend to cooperate with the performance.

Subsequently, Rick Rosen, Steven Spielberg, David Geffen and Twentieth Century Fox opened fire and contacted all the news outlets, begging everyone not to report on the New York Post's apology, and let the matter be completely drowned in a huge wave of news.

Of course, the media know that this is the self-hype of the "New York Post", and they are willing to cooperate, that is, for the sake of news and sales. But now, even if they don't report on the "New York Post", they still have many breaking points, especially when their previous "joint ban" was not hated by the bigwigs, and they are very willing to sell these bigwigs a face--it can be regarded as atoning for their previous bans.

So, the New York Post was lonely, and their apologies were like scarecrows shivering in the autumn rain, untimely and unheeded, making them look like clowns, and then countless news trends swarmed in, and the New York Post disappeared completely in this tsunami.

Shame, it's a great shame! Colin simply hated Hugo to the core! However, the "New York Post" was simply unable to resist the huge tide of all the news media, and could only be drowned.

In this gamble, the "New York Post" lost so much that he didn't even have his underwear, he didn't even have his dignity, and he didn't even have his pride. What's even more terrifying is that the gambling game is like sewage in the sewer, which disappears in a blink of an eye, and then there is no trace of it.

At the same time, the media is more concerned about the final box office of "life and death", 100 million box office is obviously no longer a problem, so what about 200 million?

The gap between "Terminator 2" was $115 million at the same time, and the gap between the two was not only not widening, but gradually narrowing, and people finally had to face up to the fact that "Life and Death" had the ability to break the box office myth of "Terminator 2", the only North American action movie of $200 million.

If you compare last year's summer file, it becomes more interesting, "Sleepless in Seattle" broke the box office record of a love movie at that time, and "Schindler's List" at the end of last year broke the box office record of a black and white movie, so this time "Speed of Life and Death" will also pocket the box office record of action movies?

The future progress of "Speed of Life and Death" obviously depends on the table in the next few weeks, not paper tigers like "Little Ghost Moves", but real powerhouses like "The Lion King" and "Forrest Gump"!

In the fourth week of June, the "Lion King" is coming!

Originally, all the media's eyes were locked on the "Lion King", but because the box office table of the third week of "Speed of Life and Death" was too amazing, the discussion in the media couldn't help but be hot, and everyone was discussing: "Speed of Life and Death" What kind of decline will it hand over this week, you know, this time its opponent is "The Lion King"!

"The Lion King" was created by Disney at a cost of 45 million dollars, and it sparked countless discussions long before its release, and Disney's last work "Aladdin" achieved an outstanding result of 217 million, which made people full of anticipation for "The Lion King" early.

In fact, "The Lion King" has already held screenings last week. Disney made a huge breakthrough attempt this time, they put the screening of "The Lion King" in Disneyland, due to the particularity of Disneyland, the number of visitors that can be accommodated is much higher than that of ordinary theaters, and the movie theater only plays this work 24 hours a day, so the box office of a single theater is obviously not measured by common sense.

As a result, the high-quality "Lion King" created a peak that no work can surpass in the next 20 years with a single-theater box office sword of 790,000 US dollars, and after that, Disney also continued this method of screening, completely dominating the historical ranking of single-theater box office records, so that people must add different prefixes such as "live-action movies" and "animated films" to distinguish when counting single-theater box office.

With an incredible result of $790,000 per museum, "The Lion King" officially landed at the North American Film Market in the fourth week of June! (To be continued [Provided].)
