Chapter 781 Of course there are bugs in the code that has not been paid for
On Saturday, September 21, a relatively high-end and private cinema in Xiaoshitou City Center.
Although Bill is going to do big things, he is not quitting his job like a person who is desperate to take the initiative, and he still has a job.
In order to maintain a good image of diligence in the jurisdiction, you must not go out to watch movies on weekdays, and you have to hold it until the weekend.
The cinema you go to can have a smaller screen and less screens. We will strengthen security measures, but there is no need to clear the scene, which will not be friendly to the people and will be unfavorable to the image.
As the capital of Azhou, Xiaoshitou is not prosperous, but has the inherent obstruction of the small town of Shennan Prefecture. It is also slow to respond to the latest fashion and entertainment trends coming from the west.
Just like the conservatives in mainland China 20 years later, they are as impatient when they see non-main cows born in the 1990s.
When Bill came to the theater, he saw all the posters, at least half of them were almost clearly promoting the two movies.
One is "Terminator 2" which has been released for a full nine months, and the other is "True Lies", which has just been popular for half a month.
Considering that "Terminator 2" has been released for a long time, in terms of posters, it is roughly 37.
"The True Lies" 7.
Some of the poster columns are still posted directly on thick historical records. After revealing them, you can see that many of the things that are covered under "True Lies" are "Terminator 2".
Other art films or trendy funny films this year have not performed well in southern states. This is a hot land for cowboys and red-neck spirits. They like American tough guys with flesh and blood and exquisite plots that are the most famous.
The cinema ticket window also has a small blackboard written in chalk, which promotes the instant box office of these two super blockbusters.
It seems that the theater owner thinks that telling the box office results of potential audiences who come to shop may stimulate their herd mentality and become curious about blockbusters.
Bill looked at the data above very seriously.
"Terminator 2: As of September 20, the North American box office was $216 million."
"The True Lies: As of September 20, the North American box office was $30.7 million."
He had never cared about this market before, so he held his wife and asked, "This result should be very good. How about comparing with his peers? I have no idea."
Seralie obviously did her homework for her husband, so she walked into the darkness inside and replied casually: "Let me say that, there were five movies in North America last year, and the box office reached the magnitude of $100 million that year.
Among them, only "Terminator 2" has more than 200 million US dollars, while the second place is Fox's "Home Imperial", which will fall to 150 million. The third place "The Love of Man and Ghost" has more than 120 million, and the remaining two movies "Dancing with Wolves" and "The Pretty Beauty" are just barely enough to make it over 100 million.
As for this year, the overall market in the film industry is worse than last year. At present, before the appearance of "The True Lies", only one movie "The Silence of the Lambs" is expected to exceed 100 million yuan in domestic box office - oh, and there is also "Beauty and the Beast", but to be embarrassing, it is an animation for the mentally retarded to watch.
So, as long as there are no major new works in the fourth quarter, this year's box office champion will definitely be "The True Lies" no longer runs."
To put it bluntly, the "box offices" counted by Americans are based on the 12 natural months after the release, so it is fair not to do with your summer or Christmas.
Bill nodded secretly, looked at the ticket price again, and estimated that nearly 30 million Americans have watched "Terminator 2". If "True Lies", it should be able to collect 10 million viewers in the last quarter of this year.
This communication rate is very considerable. If some consciousness is subtly implanted, it can affect many voters.
The ticket prices for movies in the United States are not very expensive. In the early 1990s, most cities only cost a few dollars per ticket on average, except for New York, which rarely cost more than ten dollars.
The movie finally started, and he felt that he was looking forward to the secrets in it more and more.
...
In short, the film "The True Lies" is about Arnold's super agent who plays a sensational agent in Europe and China, killing all over the world, and finally solving the problem of the terrorists who have obtained nuclear weapons. It also intersperses the scene of him covering up his real work in order to keep it secret in front of his wife, creating many contrasting and cute drama effects.
It is said to be a spy war commercial blockbuster, but it also has some comedy elements.
It's just that it's not a nonsensical comedy, but a very serious coincidental comedy, which makes people secretly glad that the sky net is vast.
For example, Arnold's wife felt that life was too boring and almost got tricked by a second-hand car agent who claimed to be an agent. In the end, she was covered up as a salesperson in a computer company and was arrested as an agent. Her real identity was an agent and her real identity was a agent and her contrast effect was very tense.
In addition to the main line, many small places also have small details of smiling knowingly.
For example, after the bridge was blown down, the terrorist convoy braked the car with a critical hair and did not fall into the sea, but the center of gravity was unbalanced because a big seabird fell on the front of the car and the explosion fell into the sea.
Or in the end, the evil leader threatened Arnold with AK on the back of the Harrier fighter, but was caught by Arnold, who was tilted and unsteadily slid onto the missile launcher, and was eventually fired out with the missile in a coincidence, blowing up the helicopter of the evil forces' own side to death.
Most of this exaggerated narrative is something that only cartoons dare to use, and it is a cartoon like "Cat and Mouse" that relies on exaggerated coincidences. But Cameron made Arnold's expressionless and hard-working man with a stern face to create the contrast.
While watching, the Bills couldn't help but sneer in a low voice.
However, the version they watched was slightly different from the scripts originally made by Cameron in the Parallel World - these differences were undoubtedly requested by Gu Ao.
During the process, we couldn't help but discuss the first release of art, and discussed it with Cameron to make him agree to change this.
The main changes are:
First of all, in the original script, Arnold's "computer company salesperson" did not specify which computer company was used for cover, after all, it was just for cover, purely for cover.
But since it is a film invested by Gu Ao, Arnold's cover of his identity naturally became "a salesperson at Wang'an Computer Company". He even added a one- or two-minute short plot highlighting the agent Arnold's "what he plays like what he is" to specifically play how he signed a sales order for WPS computers to those big customers of awesome companies.
I also specially used a model of the WPS-BOOK laptop that was not yet available and was only in the research and development stage to cooperate with the shooting.
The appearance and material of this model are exactly the same as the WPS-BOOK that will be officially released later, just like the model machine displayed in offline mobile phone stores.
This plot is undoubtedly a shameless implantable advertisement, but Gu Ao did this, and his opponent couldn't help him.
When the Bills saw this plot, they couldn't help but laugh at Gu Ao's shamelessness and private work.
The second part where the script changes are relatively large is the identities of the evil villains in the film.
At the beginning, the screenwriter just wrote a Hongfa school casually, and there was no prototype at all. The main reason was that this kind of thing was afraid of international disputes, so it was best to downplay the prototype. It can only be said that the people looked like Lucians with big beards.
Because in history, when Cameron filmed "The True Lies", it was already 1994, and Lucia had disintegrated when he was preparing, so he could truly know that the risks have indeed occurred in recent years.
For example, after the disbandment of the USSR, the nuclear warheads that were scattered in Central Asia, which once caused great headaches for Americans in 1992/93.
After all, before USSR was disbanded, its aerospace industry base was not in Lucia, a franchise. Because the aerospace industry needs to be built at the lowest latitude as possible to utilize the greater Earth's rotational linear speed, centrifugal force, and gravitational distance to reduce the difficulty of launch, so we can only try our best to join the south.
Baikonur, the USSR’s main aerospace base, is located in Kazakhstan. During the UUSR period, space centers were often convenient for intercontinental missiles and R&D testing bases, so nuclear warheads placed there are certainly indispensable.
At that time, if someone said that those places with space centers and nuclear bomb warehouses in Central Asia were high-risk areas with inventory problems, the American people would definitely hear it and think it was logical.
When he arrived at Gu Ao, when he changed the script, he asked Cameron to further refine the character of these villains, so that he would be more flesh and blood, and not be afraid of offending others.
Of course, I will never say which franchise is from. The audience will guess it yourself. In short, all the standards will definitely meet the Hollywood guild review standards.
Therefore, when I saw this part of the plot, Bill's eyes suddenly became straight, staring at the screen with a gaze. Shenyou Taixu had been thinking about it for a long time and thought of countless exquisite possibilities.
"It turns out that the Lucia people are completely ruined is not a good thing for the American people. If that day comes, we should not promote the defeat of Lucia and force those who are angry and lose faith to the opposite side. We should be better at being gentle.
At this time, whoever continues to promote Lucia's evil and continues to deepen the hatred between the two sides to encourage public opinion to enhance their personal prestige, who is ignoring national security for the sake of his own private reputation. This is to put personal interests above national interests. What qualifications do such beasts have to say that they are for the country and the people? What qualifications do they have to be president?"
As a top undergraduate student in the International Relations at the Wallace School of Diplomacy, Senior Bill responded very quickly in this regard. Without anyone to remind him, he had thought about the materials of attacking each other after seven or eight times.
Of course, that is just a conscious deduction, and it is far from the point where it can be implemented.
After a little deeper and more thought about the details, Bill discovered several unsolved difficulties.
But this is normal.
If it is not difficult, Gu Ao is equivalent to a programmer leaving no encryption or bugs. Before the other party pays the money, he will deliver the code?
Chapter completed!
