Chapter 554： Fellow
Many people think that New York, like Paris, is an ideal place for romantic dates. A romantic comedy that takes place in New York, if you can make use of scenes familiar to the audience to produce fascinating effects, it will achieve one plus one greater than two. Effect.
"The Enemy of the People" undoubtedly did this.
What's more, the movie is indeed very interesting. The love consultant played by Will Smith is skilled in technical tackling, knows how to figure out the mind of women, and make suggestions for the elders of the **** siblings. Every hit is sure to hit, and she is an outstanding hooker.
On the first day of its release in North America, with the addition of the upcoming Christmas effect, "Rivals of the People" sold $22.1 million in the box office in 3650 theaters in North America. , No. 1 at the box office on the day of airborne.
"Rival of the People" must not be able to fight the first weekend of "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" as the sequel of the hit movie, but the next weekend screening with the other party is still a battle.
However, the film, like most of Will Smith's commercial films, is not very good.
After the first day of its release, the Rotten Tomatoes Index of "The Enemy of the People" was only 65 percent, IMDB scored 6.8 points, CinemaScore theater audiences scored "B+" on site, and authoritative media scored 62 points.
This word of mouth, even in romantic comedies, can only be said to be quite general.
But Will Smith has this kind of charm, which can make a film that is not of good quality break out at the box office and commercial.
Even some media believe that "The Enemy of the People" is a test of whether Will Smith is a real public lover, or just a small lover of the black sisters.
To a certain extent, Will Smith is one of the fastest celebrities in Hollywood history. After the filming of a film that can be counted almost with one hand, he has entered the Hollywood A-level club, with 20 million US dollars. The remuneration of the film was very calm, making many veteran stars envy and jealous.
This is also one of the reasons why Will Smith did not entertain him at the Oscars. Similar to Tom Cruise, the star journey is too smooth, compared with the old predecessors who don’t know how much they have suffered and even see blood in some areas. , Success is a little too easy.
How can old people be mentally balanced?
These people are basically Oscar judges, and they control important performance awards. It is normal for those who are young and famous to be left out by the Oscars.
In recent years, which young and well-paid actor has successfully won the Oscar for performance?
Only Tom Hanks, a hard-working actor who has worked hard for many years, is in their hearts.
But the producers will not consider the feelings of the veterans in the actor industry, because in Hollywood, the box office is the hard indicator and the most clear indicator. Since Will Smith has starred in the screen, almost all of the movies starring at the box office have gone viral. .
However, the movies he starred in before had a strong action component, although there were also romantic scenes, they were secondary.
Starring in a typical romantic comedy movie, the target audience is first of all women. Even if Will Smith has a strong physique and a handsome appearance among blacks, it is not a sufficient condition for a successful romantic comedy.
Action stars can hardly be recognized by the audience with romantic feelings everywhere. Bruce Willis has tasted the bitter fruit back then, and has not yet fully adjusted it.
But judging from the effects of "Rivals of the People", Will Smith really has his own set of unique ways to attract women.
Perhaps it also benefits from the actual life experience outside of the movie, because people like Ronan who have been close to Will Smith know that Will Smith is a master pick in life and a woman who has had a close relationship. The number is only a lot more than Ronan.
After all, not everyone has the ability to handle heavyweights like the Williams sisters, but Will Smith can do it, which is enough to prove his charm.
To put it bluntly, it is a cute big boy who is very clever and smart. The girls can lean on his broad shoulders and be teased by his jokes, and they can't help acting when he is like an injured big child. The motherhood of love and compassion.
The charm of the actors and the compact plot of the film can make people happy in an hour and a half. As a Christmas pastime film, "The Enemy of the People" is completely qualified.
Although only one day passed on the first weekend, Ronan was able to pass the first day's box office to confirm that "Rival of the People" has been a success.
But Ronan knew even more clearly that the success of "Rivals of the People" is certainly due to the propaganda and operation of the Embassy Pictures, and more importantly, Will Smith's star charm.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the film is changed to a male lead, the result may be completely different.
The "New York Times" comment can be described as hitting the nail on the head.
"The Enemy of the People" is a standard romantic comedy. The plot is basically a cliché, but it has won box office success with Will Smith's popularity and the accurate market positioning of Relativistic Entertainment."
The more authoritative "Hollywood Reporter" in the Hollywood circle also published a similar view.
"The "Rival of the People" starring Will Smith was a complete surprise in this vulgar film. He overturned the image of previous action movies and captivated the audience with his cool expressions and bad smiles. The plot of the film was average, only Some interesting dialogues and funny snippets."
Although this film has a mediocre reputation, there are many pertinent comments.
The "Los Angeles Times" commented that: "The Enemy of the People" appears natural and credible, the film is also clean, without any spoof, vulgar, or outrageous. The style is fresh and romantic, warm and pleasant. The urban environment and the relationship between the characters in the film, the story is very close to ordinary people, the whole film has an indescribable style that makes people feel at ease.
In the North American film market, this is destined to belong to Will Smith's Christmas weekend.
On Friday, "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" rebounded strongly, earning US$22.41 million in a single day, but the trend of "Rivals of the People" was stable and reported that it received US$23.45 million on the same day. It continued to suppress the " Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King reached the top.
When the opening weekend three days passed, "Rivals of the People" unsurprisingly sold 58.5 million U.S. dollars at the box office, surpassing the 50.59 million U.S. dollars of "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King", and won the North American box office champion at the opening weekend.
However, the trend of "Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King" was stable and terrible. The box office in North America dropped only 30% from the first weekend.
Various authorities predict that the North American box office of this magical epic masterpiece may hit 400 million US dollars, and the global box office will inevitably exceed 1 billion US dollars.
If this result can be achieved, in this "Avatar" has not yet appeared, "Dark Knight" is still in the making, the Avengers are not assembled, and in the age when Jurassic Park is closed, "Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" will become second only to The box office runner-up of "Titanic".
Ronan certainly knows very well that no matter how it compares, "Rivals of the People" is not as good as "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King".
New Zealand director Peter Jackson also reached the pinnacle of his life with "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King". He has never surpassed it, and may never be able to surpass it.
It is said that since the fans of the Lord of the Rings do not want to miss any shots of the film, the bladder has also been fully exercised.
The North American box office in the first weekend of "Rivals of the People" almost equaled the production cost of US$60 million, which also marked the end of Relativity Entertainment's last 2003 film.
With the release of this film, Embassy Pictures also ended its release in 2003, but they did not have much time to rest, because from February 2004, there will be more than ten films that need to be released in North America and overseas. .
There are many popular works like "Shrek 2".
There are also movies with high hopes such as "A Wonderful Night at the Museum", "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", "The Wedding Proud" and "The Passion of the Christ".
In addition, many popular sequels of relatively small investment under Relativity Entertainment will also be released and listed by Embassy Pictures.
In the past six months, the Embassy Pictures has seldom pushed overseas films purchased for tens of thousands of dollars into theaters for distribution, and basically sent them directly to disc and video tape channels.
Embassy Pictures also wants to further expand the source of the film distribution, and began to contact some small and medium-sized Hollywood production companies, and strive to obtain the distribution agency rights of some films starting next year.
The distributor is relatively less risky than the producer.
"Cheers!"
In the small bar of the manor, Ronan and Will Smith clinked glasses: "The "Rival of the People" is a big box office, it's worth a toast!"
Will Smith drank it and said with a smile: "Ronan, working with you is simply fun. Are we a strong alliance?"
Ronan drank the wine in the glass and said, "It's definitely a strong alliance!"
Will Smith glanced at the wall clock on the wall and asked, "Why hasn't Tom come here yet?"
Ronan said, "I heard that he has gone to the celebration ceremony. It is estimated that he will have to wait a while."
Will Smith is puzzled: "Does Tom have movies that are on sale?"
"It's probably someone else's Ronan shrugged slightly: "It may be related to his church. "
This is not a good topic. Will Smith was also very close to Scientology for a time, so he simply changed the subject and said, "I also celebrated a little yesterday."
Ronan joked: "Go to the Williams sisters?"
"No." Will Smith shook his head quickly and said, "I took the initiative to interrupt contact with them?"
Ronan was very curious: "Don't you think the Williams sisters are very good? Why did they break? I can't hold it anymore? Or..."
Seeing Ronan’s puzzled eyes that seemed to say that you’re not good enough, Will Smith quickly explained: “It’s not for these reasons, I’m in good health, but some time ago I discovered that there are too many people in the same way and the risk is too high. ."
Ronan understood the meaning of these words: "Will, this decision is very wise."
