Best of Hollywood

This time, the premiere ceremony of "The Evil Spirit" was larger than the previous "Saw 2". There were dozens of media invited by 20th Century Fox alone.

Not counting some small and medium-sized media that are not on the invitation list.

To put it bluntly, neither 20th Century Fox nor the crew of "The Evil One" will invite those gossip tabloids to say that they love each other.

Due to 20th Century Fox's continuous promotion and preheating, a lot of half-truths and half-fake news were written.

For example, many supernatural events occurred during filming, crew members disappeared suddenly for a few days, one of the film's actors, Robert De Niro, found himself sleeping outside the apartment overnight, and so on.

So even if there was no invitation letter, there were still many gossip tabloid reporters rushing over. They all paid for their tickets to come in, just to get first-hand news.

As a result, many gossip tabloid reporters sat above the auditorium.

Colette Singer of Twentieth Century Fox also sat below, quietly waiting for the premiere ceremony to begin.

However, he was thinking about the current summer situation in his mind. If the box office of "The Invasion of Evil Spirit" is as predicted, it cannot meet expectations.

Then 20th Century Fox will definitely miss the entire summer market.

He will face the accountability of the company's senior management and the board of directors.

Of course, if Ryan Gosling can continue to be successful, the box office of "The Evil Dead" will eventually exceed 80 million US dollars, no, even as long as it exceeds 50 million US dollars.

It can fully explain one thing, Ryan Gosling's success is not luck.

At the same time, he can also be exonerated from some blame.

Colette Singer loves to be in charge, but right now he prefers a miracle, a Ryan Gosling miracle that is also a 20th Century Fox miracle.

Of course, once Ryan Gosling continues to be successful, facing a director who can continue to be successful, 20th Century Fox will definitely invest more resources.

The best way is to buy Ryan Gosling's studio directly and completely tie him to the chariot of 20th Century Fox.

As time slowly passed,

The premiere gradually began, and Kevin Bacon, Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman, Julia Louis Deduanves, Robert De Niro and others came to the stage to interact.

During the period, Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman almost didn't quarrel.

It caused the audience below to burst into laughter. No one would think that this was a real quarrel, but just a small part of the crew's preparation.

For the two underage girls, both the media and the audience were very tolerant.

On the other hand, Qiqi was very nervous for the people on the side, for fear that the two of them would really quarrel.

Everyone knew that just now was not a show effect at all. Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman did not have any acting elements, and they really almost quarreled.

Seeing Ryan's black face, he quickly interrupted and separated the two of them.

As a result, a video had already started playing on the screen, and Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman were still hostile to each other.

Ryan shook his head secretly, he didn't bother to pay attention to the two underage girls, only an idiot would intervene in a boring quarrel.

On the screen, the title screen belonging to Twentieth Century Fox appeared, and several huge English abbreviations of Twentieth Century Fox flashed past, indicating that the film was produced by Twentieth Century Fox.

The opening scene of "The Evil Spirit" is very simple. There is only an old woman, who looks completely different from "The Saw".

However, as the music sounded, the next moment, a horror scene suddenly descended. The old woman twisted her limbs like crazy, made inhuman movements, and finally fell to the ground and died.

The camera turned and Kevin Bacon was wearing sportswear and directing the players to train.

The following scene was very dull. Kevin Bacon came to his ex-wife's house, packed his personal belongings, and returned home with Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman.

Along the way, the father and daughter created a very warm picture.

Originally, the audience still had some expectations in their hearts, but when they saw this, they couldn't help but feel a little impatient.

"Damn it, it shouldn't be a literary film!"

"There is no horror scene, no unknown murder plot, it's just terrible."

"This is not Ryan Gosling's style, did the crew change to a director!"

Fast shots, horror and gore, and unknown killing process, this is the style of Ryan's previous works.

"It seems that Ryan Gosling wants to change and doesn't want to continue making horror movies."

Bill Pullman shook his head. It is not difficult to see the details of the film, revealing the intention of transformation, and said: "Unfortunately, this film will be a failure."

"Failed work!"

Kate-McGolly stared at the picture on the screen without turning her head and said: "I think this is a very good film. A broken family has a great impact on the growth of children."

For the growth of children?

What the hell!

Bill Pullman was speechless, but he couldn't refute it. It can't be said that for a horror movie, bloody violence is what the audience wants to watch.

In the United States, family issues, children's issues, and opposition to violence are political struggles. Once you say something that praises bloody violence, it is easy to provoke the siege of the media.

As the main plot of the film unfolded, the dead soul box appeared again and was brought home by Scarlett Johansson. Some female audiences couldn't help but get nervous.

In the bedroom, the moths flying everywhere, the scene is disgusting, and the mysterious fingers appearing deep in the throat, all of which indicate one thing, there is an evil spirit hidden in the box.

If it were placed in other films, such a plot would be mysterious and terrifying at best, nothing special about it.

However, in "The Evil Spirit", what reminds people is not a horror scene, but a father's concern for his daughter.

Even in the face of an unknown evil spirit, as a father's inherent responsibility, or it can also be said to be a kind of protection, choose to stand up and fight the evil spirit.

"Responsibility, protection!"

Kate-McGolly said to herself, "It's a great movie."

Does it look good?

Maybe not.

At least many viewers in the audience felt a little disappointed. It was not the horror movie that belonged to Ryan Gosling as expected.

As a senior singer and actor, she is very clear about one thing. It is impossible for any film to please all audiences. Some people will always find it difficult to catch the eye, so many films will choose a suitable audience, such as Disney chooses of children of all ages.

Apparently, this film is targeting a female audience.

"A very insightful director can turn a vulgar film into a box office miracle."

"Obviously, that's the case with Ryan Gosling." Kate McGolly spoke highly of it.

The appearance of the Jewish priest finally sealed the evil spirit and rescued Scarlett Johansson.

Seeing this, the Hollywood people below, looking at Ryan in front of them, couldn't help showing a bit of disdain.

Judaism!

What the hell!

It's nothing more than to please the Jewish community.

"Sure enough, it's Ryan Gosling's style. He never said anything offline." Someone whispered.

No one will publicly attack a rabbi, and even if the plot does not correspond to reality, no one will point it out.

Doing so will only offend the Jewish community.

At least for this moment, the corners of Kate-McGolly's mouth twitched, and her expression became a little stiff.

However, she has to admit that doing so can indeed win the favor of the Jewish community.

Throughout the screening process, Colette Singer did not focus on the screen, but observed the expressions of the surrounding audience to judge whether a film failed.

To his disappointment, as expected, most of the audience showed an impatient look on their faces, and only a few female audiences kept their eyes on the screen, seeming to be deeply attracted by the content of the film.

"Ryan Gosling!"

"Did you expect that!"

Colette-Singer recalled Ryan's publicity proposal, as if it was above the female group, as if he had expected it long ago, the scene in front of him.

However, the female group!

Although the United States has been promoting freedom and equality, the problem of discrimination against women has not changed much over the years. The social status of women has not been very high. Few film companies will promote women.

Furthermore, film companies generally divide audiences into several groups, such as children, youth, students, etc. There has never been any mention of female moviegoing groups.

Such a risky publicity method made Colette-Singer a little hesitant, whether to continue to follow the original publicity plan, or choose to continue to focus on the female audience.

This is a hard thing to decide.
