In the summer of 1994, the United States seemed to be exceptionally hot, and the world's slaps were gathered on this football "desert", in this country crazy for football, crazy for baseball, crazy for ice hockey, crazy for basketball, the quadrennial football World Cup is about to be held, and football fans from all over the world have flocked to this land to ignite the summer heat early.

In addition to football, the annual summer file has rekindled the war, and after the summer file kicked off with the white-hot competition this summer, the entire North American film market has been pushed to the peak of the heat, and one wonderful masterpiece after another will be staged, which will hang the audience's appetite early before the arrival of the summer file, and make people full of infinite expectations for this summer.

"Forrest Gump", "True Lies", "The Lion King", "Burning Pursuit", "Modern Primitives (the. fliones)", "wolf", "gambler Ma Huali ......" and a bunch of high-profile works will all land in this year's summer market, and this is only a work with an investment of more than $45 million, and it is also recognized as a work that has the potential to win this year's summer box office.

In addition to this large number of works, there are also works such as "Speed of Life and Death", "Strange Heroes in Disguise", "Beverly Hills Police Detective 3", and "Hillbilly Conquest of New York", which have the potential to achieve excellent box office results, have joined the competition, and the whole summer file can be described as wonderful and exciting.

The summer of 1994 was made up of. The crow (the. crow)" kicked off this by Lee. Small. Son of the Dragon, Lee. The work starring Guohao has already made a lot of noise during the filming stage, Li. Guohao was unfortunately shot and died during filming, thus detonating all the media comments.

Count the Chinese actor who has a strong influence in Hollywood, Lee. Small. Long deserves to be in first place, and his influence in the United States is unmatched. "Crow" is an adaptation of a comic book, which attracted a lot of attraction in the preparation stage, and by Li Guo. Haolai's starring role has become the object of heated discussion, and such an amazing accident happened during the filming.

The advent of "Crow" can be described as a disaster, and in the end, this work, which was originally scheduled to be released in October l993, was postponed to l994.

In the third week of May, "Crow" officially landed in the North American market, easily winning the North American weekend box office champion this week with a box office of 11.7 million, making a good start for this year's summer season. It is worth mentioning that "Crow" defeated the work "When a Man Falls in Love with a Woman".

"When a Man Falls in Love with a Woman" was a work of Tracy Jacobs at various stages of preparation, but after several twists and turns, the producer Jon Avene (Jo), the producer of "Good Boy is Crazy", took over and invited Meg Ryan to play, and the actor locked in Andy Garcia, who is widely known for relying on "The Godfather 3". garcia)。

After the screening of "When a Man Falls in Love with a Woman" last week, it achieved a good result of $34,000 at the box office of a single theater, and expanded in 1,300 theaters this week, but the results were not satisfactory, and the final weekend box office of 9.4 million yuan could only rank second after "Crow".

After the debut of "Crow", the summer file of 1994 officially entered the melee mode, and after "Gambler Ma Huali" won the championship for a week, it did not continue to be strong as expected; Immediately after the premiere of "Modern Primitives", he won the championship by beating "Beverly Detective 3", which premiered at the same time, and "Ma Huali", who was excellent last week.

Subsequently, entering the first week of June, the summer file ushered in the first wave**.

A total of three films were released on the first Monday of June, and they were three works of very close strength, and this week's box office competition was also hailed as the first big attraction of the summer season of 1994.

Disney's Touchstone Films invested $40 million to shoot "Renaissance", which is a typical comedy film, directed by Penny Marshall, who came from comedy. Marshall), her most famous work is undoubtedly "Flying Beyond the Future" starring Tom Hanks, and the actor chose Danny DeVito (Dano), who has a solid foundation in comedy, which can be said to have a strong confidence in the field of comedy in the summer file. The film will be released in 1,800 theaters.

Universal Pictures, which started with comedy and is famous for comedy, is the main battlefield that Universal Pictures cannot give up every summer comedy, and this year is no exception. Of course, in the past year, Universal's biggest achievement has been "Schindler's List", which can be called the pinnacle of small and big - although cost control is not Universal's intention at all.

"Hillbilly Conquest of New York" is the first shot of Lang Yimeyer's first summer file after his inauguration at Universal Pictures, with an investment of 20 million US dollars, inviting Woody Harrison and Kiefer Sutherland to lead, and will also be released in 1,800 theaters.

Of the three works released this week, the most innocent is. The speed of life and death".

This work was originally scheduled to be released next week, but it was considered bullied by everyone, and was forced to adjust the schedule in early May, and it was also bombarded by competitors throughout the promotion period. Before the movie was released, it was generally looked down upon by the media, on the one hand, the work itself did not have enough highlights to attract the audience, and on the other hand, the publicity after adjusting the schedule did not reach the expected goal, which is undoubtedly a fatal blow to the box office, not to mention that there are two comedy movies in the same schedule.

"Speed of Life and Death" invested 28 million, but it was actually an action movie, after "Terminator 2" and "True Lies" created the feat of investing more than 100 million, and now the investment in action movies has generally risen to more than 50 million, or even 60 million. But what does it mean that the cost of "life and death" is so low? It means that the explosions, action, and drag racing scenes of the movie will be disappointing.

Of course, Twentieth Century Fox is not stupid, and they are willing to raise the "speed of life and death" for a week after careful consideration, and they must have done a good job of psychological accuracy.

First of all. The main competitor of "Life and Death" in the first week of June is comedy, at least more than the second week of June, "Wolf" is considered a work in the fantasy, action, horror genre, which is the same as. "The speed of life and death" is a head-on confrontation, so relatively speaking, choosing two comedies as competitors will not be diverted at least in terms of the market.

The second is Hugo's strong appeal, the miracle of the Oscars is vivid, and the subsequent Cannes Film Festival has achieved Hugo's peak myth, and now the "Road to Glory" tour is still in full swing, and the audience who walks into the cinema just for Hugo will be very impressive. Of course, "Wolf" stars Jack Nicholson and Michelle Pfeiffer, and the stars of both comedy films are slightly inferior in terms of appeal, which must also be taken into account.

Finally, there is the propaganda strategy of Twentieth Century Fox, which focuses on the excellent quality of the film for the "speed of life and death", and plays "reminiscent of the excitement and excitement brought by traditional classic action blockbusters".

In the process of publicity, they have been emphasizing that the current action movies have fallen into a vicious circle of "Terminator"-style, and the big scenes led by explosions and drag racing have become the core of action movies, but the thrill brought to people by action movies has been weakened, before heroes fought against villains, and now heroes fought against bombs, pistols, and future soldiers, and action movies have an illusory mask, which makes people feel unreal. But the "speed of life and death" strips away all the cumbersomeness and returns to the essence.

"Let you experience the thrilling moments that happen around you", this slogan has also become the loudest slogan in the publicity process.

I have to say that this kind of publicity strategy has indeed whetted the audience's appetite and opened up a world in a different way, but in terms of momentum, it has surpassed the "wolf" that will be released next week and attracted more attention.

Of course, this approach is also a double-edged sword, because people's super high expectations for the movie must have better quality to give back, otherwise after the premiere has achieved a good box office, the decline in word-of-mouth the next week will bring a box office avalanche-like chain reaction. So generally speaking, film companies will not take this kind of method of drinking water to quench their thirst. Unless...... Confident, or compelled.

Most people now think that Twentieth Century Fox falls into the latter category.

But no matter what, the final number of theaters in "Life and Death" was locked in 2,100 theaters, which not only broke the 2,000 mark, but also exceeded the two competing works.

In the face of such actions as Twentieth Century Fox, many media ridiculed that anyway, the "speed of life and death" only invested 28 million, even if it lost money, it would not be too miserable, thinking that Twentieth Century Fox was a broken jar, and there was a kind of helplessness and ridicule that was indignant but unable to fight back.

The most important thing is that the release of "Speed of Life and Death" has also created a topic, since "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman", Hugo has created the word-of-mouth myth of five movies in a row, deducting the "vulgar" that won praise in Cannes but has not yet been officially released in North America, and the other four films have also won box office successes, and after "Yihai Xiongfeng", the box office of three consecutive movies has exceeded the threshold of 100 million, such a feat is not inferior to Tom Cruise.

People will not forget that when Hugo took over the filming of "Life and Death" at the beginning of the year, the "Los Angeles Times" boldly predicted that the film would have the ability to bring the box office to a height of 100 million US dollars, this idea caused a huge controversy at the beginning, and now, the answer is about to be revealed: can "Life and Death Hour" continue Hugo's strength? Is it a continuation of a miracle, or is it a myth shattered? (To be continued (Dian Dian Chinese Paper) provides.)
