Chapter 543: Film critics in this industry

Please remember the website of this site:;Please tell your QQ group this is an indisputable fact in the world. "

"Indeed...so." Natalie nodded agreeably after wiping off the dripping coffee.

He beckoned to Scarlett Johansson, who went to the side to remove makeup, and Ryan continued, “The era when film critics influence movies is about to pass. Now is the era when commercial films on the Hollywood industrial production line dominate the world. The influence of film critics on movies The power is not as good as before, let alone to influence the market and audiences on a large scale. Film reviews alone can make a movie hit a big hit. The era when commercial movie box offices can plummet..."

Ryan opened his hands and said, "It's over long ago!"

Even if this film critic is called Roger Albert. Except for the professional scope and the older generation of movie fans, the influence on the moviegoers who occupy the vast majority of the market can only be described as negligible.

"Then they recently criticized a movie in such a high-profile way..." Natalie is a smart person and knows that the fairness of film critics is just a joke. "I want to show the existence of these people and show that they are still wrong about the film industry. Unusual influence, right?"

"Unfortunately, it was counterproductive." Ryan shook his head and put the newspapers on the table aside. "Benefits determine the position of the butt. The influence of the film critic industry has plummeted in recent years, resulting in a sharp decline in the income of film critics. And their own interests, they will definitely make the same voice at some point to demonstrate the necessity of their existence, but they are destined to be a group to decline."

"After that, there will be no film critics?"

Scarlett Johansson, wearing a tight T-shirt and a short jacket, sat beside Natalie, "Will this industry disappear?"

Ryan put a new cup in front of her and said while pouring coffee, "Of course not, because filmmakers always need film critics to wave a cheer to attract some older audiences, even if it's only formal, even if it's just for impact. Awards."

Natalie curled her lips helplessly, while Scarlett shrugged, "Just like you always do?"

Shaking his finger, Ryan didn't answer, but looked to the side. The crew was under the direction of the deputy director, packing equipment.

"Traditional film critics can move to the Internet." After a few words with her assistant, Natalie turned to Ryan and said, "For example, blogs."

"My dear, the Internet belongs to the navy."

As soon as Ryan's voice fell, Scarlett seemed to think of something, and put down the coffee cup she was holding, "This seems to be your team's specialty, I know."

"Isn't there a professional website like imdb?" Natalie seems to want to argue.

"Let's not talk about the professional navy on imdb."

Knocked his finger, Ryan asked, "Which is the highest rated movie on imdb now?"

"Sometimes "The Godfather", sometimes "Shawshank's Redemption." Scarlett said first.

"The Godfather" is too far away, let's just talk about the closer "Shawshank's Redemption". Ryan frowned slightly, recalling the market revenue related to this film. "We don't discuss the artistry of the film, only the market. And profit."

As if knowing that Ryan would say so, Natalie made a please gesture.

"The movie market can be simply divided into theaters and surroundings. "The Shawshank's Redemption" was released once in 1993, and after the Oscars in 1994, it landed on the North American theaters again. The two times received more than 28 million US dollars in box office."

What Ryan said are the box office results of the movie in this life, and there is almost no difference from the previous life. "Although the media claimed that it was the most perfect movie in history because of the Oscar defeat, it entered the theater for the second time. Box office situation Without any improvement, obviously the cinema market is not buying it."

"Now talking about peripherals, in the following years, it has become a big winner in the video rental market." Ryan continued, "There is also the sale of TV copyrights, which have brought a lot of income to movies, and this part of the income How many are there?"

"It's about 43 million dollars now." This is not a secret in the industry, Natalie has heard of it somehow.

"In my opinion, this movie will definitely become the highest rated movie by imdb in the future, and perhaps the media will continue to call it the most perfect movie." Ryan raised a finger. In front of the two girls shook, "I am so optimistic about professional websites and professional film critics, how much do you think the peripheral income of this movie can accumulate in more than ten years?"

"Two hundred million dollars?" Scarlett said weakly.

"No more than 100 million U.S. dollars."

The trajectory of this movie in this life and in the past life has not changed much. Ryan still remembers that in the data seen in the last year of the previous life, "Shawshank's Redemption", excluding the box office of more than 28 million US dollars, has a total revenue of about 8,800. Around ten thousand dollars.

How long did it take for the film to return to profitability?

The production cost of the movie is $25 million. The cost of publicity and public relations will not be less than this figure, especially for the second release, without paying a certain price. Those vampire-like cinema dealers will bring a heavy prison theme back to the cinema?

"No one can deny the artistic achievement of "Shawshank's Redemption", and few movies can replace its position among fans who like it."

Seeing Natalie's lips poked, Ryan laughed, "But profession and art have never been directly related to the market. Especially today with such advanced information, the absence of a market means being eliminated by history."

He turned the topic to the beginning again, "So. The decline of the film critic industry is unavoidable. Even Roger Albert personally cannot change it. How many audiences of the new generation care about the voice of film critics?"

Natalie and Scarlett looked at each other, then held up the coffee cup.

Ryan continued, "In the future, critics will be criticized for being worthless, imdb failed to pass the score, but there will be more and more movies that can be sold at the box office. After all, the audience chooses movies, rather than film critics and film critics. The website chooses movies for them."

"I'll categorize it for you." Natalie folded her arms and stared at Ryan with her brown eyes. "You have said so much. In fact, one sentence can summarize it. What you need is the audience's movie tickets. , Not art and professional film reviews."

Seeing Natalie posing as a vice-debating posture, Ryan simply looked at the girl next to her, "Scarlett, you can also express your own opinions."

"Me?" She pointed to her chin, "OkayI can’t say anything else now, I only know that "The Princess Diaries" is the biggest selling one of all my movies. It’s also the most popular one, and it helped me achieve a single film remuneration of more than 10 million U.S. dollars for the first time...Oh, this is calculated together with the division, and there may be more follow-ups."

Scarlett suddenly hugged Natalie's arm and said with a smile, "But, I still like the role Sophia prepared for me the most."

"Lost in Tokyo?" Natalie looked at her, Scarlett nodded, "Well, I'm probably going to Tokyo in the second half of the year."

During the time they were chatting, the small crew had been sorted out, and after greeting, the deputy director led the team and left.

"Let's go to dinner." Ryan walked out of the store first, and asked Natalie next to him, "What do you want to eat?"

"Scarlett said she is going to treat her." Natalie held Ryan very naturally, while Scarlett on the other side nodded in agreement. "Nat discussed a lot of acting with me, Ryan , You recommended me to play princess Mia. My pay and share have been paid, so I want to thank you too."
