Best Movie Star

Chapter 627: flutter

After the premiere of "Alien vs. Predator 2" ended, Francis Lawrence and Paula Patton walked out of the theater hand in hand, and were immediately surrounded by a large group of entertainment reporters in front of the car. In just a split second, the sound of pressing the shutter joined together, The flashing lights were as bright as day, and they seemed to be the center of the world.

Francis Lawrence liked this feeling very much, so he didn't mean to leave immediately. Instead, he stood here and answered several questions asked by reporters.

Paula Patton smiled and looked very self-restrained. From the moment she walked on the red carpet for the premiere tonight, she felt that she would become the focus of Hollywood!

At least it will be this weekend!

"What kind of thing do you think is more terrifying? A threat tens of millions of miles away? Or a big battle on your doorstep? Obviously, we all think it's time to bring the Predators and the Aliens to the commonplace This is very important, at least you haven't seen a similar plot arrangement in any movie, you will find that there is no so-called 'safe zone', even in your own back garden."

Francis Lawrence was in a great mood and said a bit more: "These terrifying creatures are literally on the street in front of us, so the whole story becomes 'could happen anywhere in America'. That It's a beautiful, familiar town that suddenly becomes the center stage of an epic war, accompanied by a bloodbath that they may never understand."

Then many reporters asked some questions about the "Ultimate Alien". Francis Lawrence answered these questions with a bit of pride before getting in the car and leaving.

Sitting in the car, he was a little proud of the reporters eagerly asking about the "Ultimate Alien".

Most of this "ultimate alien" came from his idea.

As early as the film's pre-screening promotion, "Ultimate Alien" has become a favorite part of fans to dig.

From appearance to character, including design concept, everything about "Ultimate Alien" has been set up by the crew and 20th Century Fox to set up heavy safety barriers, and everyone involved must keep it safe until the film is released today, and then to the audience. A surprise for us.

When he first joined the crew, the "Ultimate Alien" in the script was actually designed to be a hybrid descendant of the Predator and the Alien. It was inexplicable. Could it be that the Alien and the Predator could get together to have offspring?

It's scary to think about it, and the San Fernando Valley wouldn't dare to make such a film, right?

Therefore, the "Ultimate Alien" he designed was an alien hatched in the body of a Predator, which absorbed some of the host's personality and characteristics - roughly 80% of the Alien and 20% of the Predator.

The "Ultimate Alien" has the alien's hard exterior, acidic blood, scorpion-like tail, and hidden mouth; from the Predator, an additional jaw and terrifying dreadlocks.

More importantly, the DNA obtained from the Predator on the "Ultimate Alien" changed the way of reproduction of the Alien, and he abandoned the traditional "queen system" of this race - laying eggs, entering the host's body from the face, and breaking through the host's chest. And instead of procreation... and so on and so forth, a more aggressive and efficient reproductive system has been invented entirely.

Thinking of this, Francis Lawrence couldn't help but give birth to an idea: Although he is not the creator of aliens, he gave aliens a new life!

Perhaps many years from now, when people mention the father of aliens, they are not only talking about Ridley Scott, but also the name Francis Lawrence!

The car passed in front of a huge billboard, Francis Lawrence saw the advertisement of "I Am Legend" on the billboard through the window, and Matthew Horner walked with a dog in the ruined streets of New York.

"Heh..." He inexplicably showed a slightly mocking smile. The box office of "Alien vs. Predator 2" may not be able to compete with "I Am Legend", but it is by no means as superficial as those films starring Matthew Horner!

He gives this monster movie a depth that has never been seen before!

When he was preparing for this film, he was always thinking about it. Normally, when people encounter the most extreme environment, what kind of reaction will they make? He looked at some materials, including hurricanes and fires, and observed how ordinary people, including firefighters, police officers, and teachers, became heroes in disasters, so he gave the film another theme besides monster melee. , want to explore a degree and scope through this story - how will humans protect their families, for whom will they fight, or die for?

There is also the depth of environmental protection and ecology. He turned the Predator from a "hunter" into a "cleaner", similar to the role of "ecological samurai", the Predator will not leave anything that may overturn the ecological balance of the planet opportunity, which gives the character a dignity and nobility.

"Maybe the future Predator will also be marked with Francis Lawrence." He muttered in his heart.

"Alien vs. Predator 2" was released in North America as a new film, and those research companies whose main business is statistics and sales data have already heard the news.

Before the premiere in theaters, Howard Rashford was shaking among the fans. As a front-line market researcher for Cinema, he kept asking these fans who had just watched "Alien vs. Predator 2" what they thought and rated the film.

Those who can come to the premiere are undoubtedly fans of Alien or Predator. These people's evaluation of related movies will naturally be much higher than that of ordinary audiences.

"If you were asked to rate..." he asked a middle-aged movie fan in his forties, "How would you rate "Alien vs. Predator 2"?"

The movie fan Hao said without hesitation, "C! No, C-!" He took the small gift and added, "This is the worst movie about Alien and Predator I've ever seen! "

The movie fan walked away without looking back, as if he had no nostalgia for the movie he had just watched.

Howard Rashford then found another middle-aged fan. Alien and Predator were born more than 20 years ago, and the fans are undoubtedly a little older.

The middle-aged movie fan was very calm. "This film is so disappointing. Alien is not like Alien, and Predator is not like Predator. I don't want to give a rating. It shouldn't appear at all."

After speaking, he didn't even ask for a small gift, so he shook his head and left.

Howard Rashford glanced at the fan: How disappointed must you be with the film to be too lazy to give a rating?

Then, he asked more fans, and none of them scored more than C+, and there were even a lot of abusers.

"This tm is too dark, 90% of the scenes are at night, and a black person was hired as the heroine, who can see clearly, the director has a problem with his head, it's all dark!"

"Aliens and Predators are the same as parallel imports!"

"It doesn't matter if the plot is not good, even the most basic pictures can't be done well. I really admire the director's skill..."

After listening to many movie fans, Howard Rashford has a general understanding. Sometimes, some film directors just like to be self-righteous and disrupt certain conventional rules in the film genre. This kind of stupid choice can simply destroy the film industry. .

Not far from the other side, reporters from some entertainment media were also interviewing the audience.

A reporter from The Hollywood Reporter interviewed a bespectacled and temperamental fan.

The fan's hair was gray, but what he said to the camera couldn't hide his love for the opposite sex, "I just saw the film "Alien" in 1979, and I fell in love with this monster, the four "Alien" and the previous I've seen Alien vs. Predator, and it's definitely the worst Alien movie of all."

"The movie is really bad." He shook his head, "Perhaps the director who is just starting out knows that his basic skills are insufficient, and he hopes to use special effects and many but not profound characters to fool around, causing serious problems in the film~www.wuxiahere.com ~Let's not talk about the messy performance, you can't even understand what the story is about."

Just a few meters away, another fan was also venting his dissatisfaction into the reporter's microphone, "It's unfortunate that a bad sequel ruins a classic. I've regretted it in recent years. One of the things I watched was "Terminator 3", I've been trying to erase this horrific viewing experience from my memory without success. It turns out that it's more unfortunate than this is a bad movie that destroys two classics in one go ."

He couldn't help but say, "This **** director has ruined the two classics of Alien and Predator at once! The idea of ​​Alien vs. Predator is bad enough, I didn't expect that we would be tortured twice by such a bad idea, I hope twenty Century Fox, don't think about making a third episode. If you have to do it, please change to a more reliable director?"

As the night went on, the fans of the premiere gradually dispersed, and the reporters and some other personnel gathered in front of the theater also left one after another. Howard Rashford packed up his questionnaires and joined a man, a woman, and the other two Colleagues, walk towards the parking lot together.

"How's the rating on your side?" Howard Rashford asked.

"Don't mention it." The female colleague shrugged, "This movie is probably miserable, and not many fans of the premiere have rated C or above. How bad is the director? Why use such two A classic movie character, making such a bad movie."

The male colleague said at this time, "I just made a rough calculation. I asked less than 30 fans here, and the average score was C-."

"I'm pretty much the same here." Howard Rashford said with certainty, "This week's largest movie is expected to hit the street."
