With the end of the post-production of "Blade Warrior", Orion Films and theater companies held several trial screenings one after another, inviting many film critics, readers of Marvel Comics, and the public to participate.

As the first superhero film under Marvel Comics, "Blade Warrior" is a genre film that has never appeared before, and it will inevitably attract some controversy.

Overall, Marvel readers and the public have a good reputation, with an average score of "A-".

The professional reputation of film critics is mixed.

Although some people may feel that the plot is too simple and straightforward, there is not much new ideas.

But the action of the film's protagonist, Blade, is fierce and rich, which is very suitable for comic adaptations. For the audience, these are enough.

As for film critics, it can be solved with money.

This is the most common deal in Hollywood.

Obviously, this is not a film similar to "Superman" or "Batman". "Blade Warrior" has a strong dark style, and it is impossible to be recognized by all film critics.

The easiest way is to use money for public relations transactions.

This film is somewhat similar to the "Batman Dark Knight Trilogy" in the previous life, except that the special effects and character design are not as detailed and delicate as the "Batman Dark Knight Trilogy".

As a water test film, it is impossible for Orion Films to invest a lot of money.

The budget of "Batman: Beginning of War" is as high as 135 million U.S. dollars, while the budget of "Blade Warrior" is only 35 million U.S. dollars. The investment difference between the two films is 100 million U.S. dollars.

After the trial screening of the film was over, the data of several trial screenings was fed back to the theater company. This was used by them to measure whether to increase the production scale and film scheduling rate of "Blade Warrior" according to the request of Orion Films.

Inside the headquarters of Emperor Cinemas, Johns seemed to be hesitant, "The filming style of "Blade Warrior" is not the style of mainstream Hollywood movies. Once it is officially released to the public, it will definitely face controversial voices from various aspects."

"but!"

He changed his voice, "The audience's word of mouth in the test screening is "A-\

,"At least it shows that this is a relatively successful commercial film. "

What theater companies value is not doubtful voices, but commercial value. No matter how much controversy a film brings, as long as it has enough commercial value, theater companies will provide resources to support it as much as possible.

"this movie!"

Film reviewer Jim Gordon was also hesitant, "There is no doubt that in the eyes of the media and most film critics, this is a very bad work, almost extremely bad."

"But just like what I said just now, this film has a good reputation among audiences and has a certain commercial value."

Mike Campbell, the CEO of Emperor Cinemas, did not speak, but looked down at the statistics just now, and pondered for a while, "Of the 1,000 viewers who participated in the survey, more than 420 people gave ratings above A, and the overall performance of the film screening is An A-, and our market index is roughly a B+."

"No matter from which aspect, this film has a certain degree of commercial value, and the scale of release can be appropriately increased."

After finishing speaking, Mike Campbell glanced at everyone, and said lightly: "There is no need to discuss the release scale of "Blade Warrior" all the time. The focus is on "Inception" directed by Ryan Gosling himself."

"May has George Lucas and Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, July has Ryan Gosling and Inception, and that's what you really need to care about."

Properly increasing the release scale of "Blade Warrior" is only a small matter for Mike Campbell. The screen and film schedule rate in the spring file is rarely tense.

He even vaguely hoped that this film would be a success, opening up the superhero movie market for the upcoming "X-Men" directed by Ryan Gosling himself, from which the Imperial Academy could definitely benefit a lot.

Every cinema company is the same, wishing that every Hollywood film can be a big box office hit and bring in a lot of money.

By mid-March, the screening scale given by a group of theater companies had reached 2,700 movie theaters, and Ryan breathed a sigh of relief.

The first-day fast-drawing scale of 2,700 movie theaters has already reached the expectations of him and Orion Films. After all, the investment of this film is only 35 million U.S. dollars, and it has a dark style. It is already considered very good to have such a large-scale release .

Most of the films with the same investment can only get the screening scale of 2,000 movie theaters.

In fact, in the past year, the box office performance of Orion Films has caused many theater companies to change a lot, and many times they have given it the same treatment as the seven major film companies.

Three consecutive films entered the top ten of the North American box office rankings in 1998. "Ice Age" surpassed "Saving Private Ryan" produced by DreamWorks by a slight gap, and won the first North American annual box office for Orion Pictures. box office champion.

Among them, "Ice Age" North American box office was 230 million US dollars, ranking first in the North American box office list in 1998, "Rush Hour" North American box office was 160 million US dollars, ranking sixth, and "American Pie 2" North American box office was 1.45. million dollars, ranking eighth.

The total reached 535 million U.S. dollars, which is not counting the North American box office of "Death Comes" and the overseas box office of several films.

A group of theater companies naturally dare not underestimate the films produced by Orion Films.

To put it bluntly, as more and more films sell well, the influence of Orion Films is also gradually increasing.

In any case, "Blade Warrior" has won the fast-drawing scale of 2,700 movie theaters. As a water-testing film, it is considered very good.

Ryan never expected "Blade Warrior" to get more than 3,000 movie theaters, or to be a global box office hit. All he needs is to prove that Marvel's superhero movies can be recognized by North American audiences.

In the future, the release of "X-Men" will be able to compete with a number of theater companies for a better release scale.

Not to mention the theater companies, even Orion Films itself plans to wait for the film's North American box office to be released in the first three days of the weekend before allowing overseas distribution companies to negotiate with a group of theater companies and distribution companies.

This can be regarded as a rule of overseas distribution companies. Except for a few films, they are rarely released in multiple countries and regions together.

Generally, the North American box office data of the film is obtained first, and then the overseas distribution of the film is started.

The seven major Hollywood film companies in the early days mostly did the same.

As long as a film can sell well in North America, it almost means that the film's overseas box office performance can also be sold well.

This is an undeniable fact. Hollywood is still the center of the world's movies. Europe only shoots some literary films. Xiangjiang movies have almost disappeared. Only Hollywood movies continue to open the market doors of each country.

There are still less than a few days before the release of "Blade Warrior", and all preparations are basically over, and the next thing is to wait for the day of the premiere.

The premiere ceremony was held on March 19, and the film officially landed in North America on the 20th, with no midnight screenings.

"Ryan, here!"

Ryan, who had just walked out of the office building of Orion Films, heard someone calling himself from a distance, followed the voice, and looked towards the parking lot, just in time to see Stephen Norrington standing outside an RV.

"Stephen!"

Ryan saw him, and walked over, "Is there something wrong!"

Seems like he should be on TV shows and promotions everywhere with Wesley Snipes.

"Let's talk in the car."

Wesley-Snipes nodded at Ryan, with a meaningful smile on his face, "A friend introduced you."

a friend!

Ryan glanced at him suspiciously, and just introduced a friend, there was no need to be mysterious.

The next moment, he stretched out his hand to open the car door, and couldn't help squinting his eyes. A very beautiful woman, showing a pair of slender thighs, was sitting quietly inside.

It looks like a woman in her thirties, with a very tall figure, wearing a very sexy evening dress, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white skin, a head of golden hair shining brightly, golden, long legs wearing a pair of thin black silk, The slender legs were tightly wrapped, and a pair of three-and-a-half-inch high heels were on her feet.

This woman seems to have a kind of magic, every move is full of the charm of a mature woman, as if showing her perfect side all the time, she is definitely a stunner.

But these are not the point, Ryan recognized her identity at a glance, Qixi Lords, a Hollywood actress.

Not only a female actress in the "Blade Runner" film, but also a legendary figure.

Qixi-Lords has been engaged in the shooting of some A-level blockbusters since he was 16 years old. At the age of 18, he went to France to develop and shot the only legal A-level blockbuster "Traci, I Love You".

What makes her a legend is that at the peak of her career, she entered the mainstream Hollywood film crew and successfully transformed.

Even in the history of Hollywood, she is the only female star.

She has filmed about 100 A-level blockbusters, and even Ryan bought quite a few, and studied hard with Charlize Theron and Cindy Crawford.
