On May 26, 2006, the traditional Memorial Day schedule of the North American film market, Twentieth Century Fox's number one film masterpiece "X-Men 3: A Battle Against the Water" held a massive North American premiere at the Hollywood Chinese Theater.

Because Gal Gadot brought a small tail into the theater through the back door, Murphy walked onto the premiere red carpet alone, but his trip was more about coming to watch the fun and had no intention of standing up for Dave Scola. He hurried past the red carpet like a routine and soon entered the theater hall.

Before this, he had accepted the invitation from senior executives of 20th Century Fox to participate in a trial of "X-Men 3: Battle of the Wave". This film is indeed a big investment in big production, with big scenes and visual effects far exceeding the previous two, but now it is not the last century. The movie is no longer a big hit with excellent special effects.

Especially the main plot of the movie is similar to what he remembers. Due to the fans, the box office of the film will not be too bad on the first weekend, but if nothing unexpected happens, the future box office trend will be worrying.

When he entered the hall, Murphy saw Dave Scola who greeted others enthusiastically and did not lean over there. Carafes had already walked over. It would be enough to have her hit the other party. It would be enough to stand behind and cheer for the rest of the game.

"With Cara's ability and development momentum," Gal Gadot brought Margot Robbie over. "If Dave Scola does not have better performance, the position of director of Fox's production department will be replaced soon."

She obviously didn't say this to Murphy, but explained it to Margot Robbie.

Margot Robbie waved to Murphy first, then pointed to the other side, "They should be considered a realistic version of Game of Thrones, right?"

Gal Gadot just smiled, it was hard to comment on his good friend in front of Murphy.

Murphy didn't have so many concerns and said directly, "It's just the prototype of a game of Thrones. The loser just quits and won't lose his head."

"Oh..." Margot Robbie nodded, but said, "But I think their fight is cruel."

"The cruelty of commercial competition is self-evident." Gal Gadot said, "but it is far behind the struggle for political power."

Murphy nodded, "It is difficult for society to have a power struggle now as described in TV series and books."

Compared to him and Gal Gadot, Margot Robbie undoubtedly lacks social experience and has a very curiosity in his eyes.

If she could pick up more things from Murphy and Gal Gadot, she could become the center point in the school discussion.

She looked at Murphy in confusion.

Now there is nothing to do, Murphy simply said, "In the past, for example, in the Middle Ages, which were similar to the novel's background, Game of Thrones tested the limits of human nature, and the limits of human nature lies in: brothers are tragic, brothers are harming each other, fathers use their children, and children assassinate their fathers. Therefore, human nature is the thing that cannot stand the test and has no lower limit."

Hearing this, Gal Gadot gently pulled La Murphy. In her eyes, Margot Robbie was still a minor girl.

"It's okay." Margot Robbie took Gal Gadot's arm, looked at Murphy, begging, "Can you continue?"

"Let's talk about novels." Murphy didn't want his girlfriend to complain, "Game of Thrones believes that the most reliable thing is the relationship between blood and mother and son. Children are the future of mothers and their interests are extremely strong in consistency, just like Cersei and Caitlyn's love and desire to protect their children. This feeling is natural and God-given, so it transcends many rules of the game in the secular world."

"Then..." Margot Robbie frowned for a while and asked, "Will Game of Thrones end?"

Murphy shook his head without thinking, "As long as the greed and desire of human nature are still there, the game of Thrones will never stop and end. Except for piles of corpses and victims, it will not really leave a living mouth. All victories are temporary, and the winner will eventually lose in the protracted battle of power and give way to the next strong, which is the iron law of nature."

Seeing Gal Gadot next to him, he added, "It is also the so-called unchanging law on Westeros on the fantasy continent."

He also read several novels written by George Martin from beginning to end. Of course, the power in them cannot be applied to real society, but it is also a real reaction to some situations, especially those dictatorial and war-torn countries.

To put it simply, what is power?

Power is not fear, so the little skinned Ramsey and the White Walker Army, who are good at terrorizing others, are not the final winners; power is not power or court power fraud, and Cersei and James, who are narrow in structure, are not the final winners; power is not metaphysics or illusions, so Stannis Bailassian, who always wants to take shortcuts, dies on the battlefield; power is not equal to justice, so the figures of the Bishops, the Big Sparrow and the Flagless Brotherhood, representing the opinion of the lower class, are so faint; power is not moral or honor, which is why the Stark family, the King of the North, is close to extermination.

Even though Jon Snow is so beautiful and so good at young people, Game of Thrones still stabs him to death in the snow with interest, like a public exhibition of killing performance art.

Power is bloodthirsty, always longing for blood and life; power is cruel, always looking forward to war and killing; power is greedy, no matter how many corpses its appetite is eaten, it will not be full. Power is just a cycle of desire, it has a beginning but no end. As long as human nature and greed are still there, it will continue to operate and swallow the next sacrifice.

"What are you talking about?" Carafes walked over and looked at Margot Robbie curiously, "Are you David's sister?"

"Hello, Miss Fis." Margot Robbie didn't look very polite as she was when she was a child. "I'm Margot Robbie, call me Maggie."

Carla Fis nodded to her, greeted Murphy, walked to Gal Gadot and discussed which fashion store to visit on the weekend...

After a few words, Murphy saw that the time was about the same, so he invited a few people to walk into the screening room. Unlike other guests, they came here to watch movies.

The details of this "X-Men 3: Battle of the Wave" have changed a lot, but the main plot is basically the same. The dead Qin-Grey, who was in the second episode, was resurrected and transformed into an omega-level mutant Phoenix woman. Then he killed him regardless of the enemy and good and evil. Even the extremely popular Cyclops and Professor X were bad at the hands of the game, and he was finally killed by Wolverine...

Large scenes and special effects are indeed very eye-catching, but this plot is not for the audience's appetite. The more the fans of the "X-Men" series, the more dissatisfied they will be. Especially when Phoenix Girl killed Professor X, there was a voice of cursing sound in the audience at the end of the screening room.

Murphy clearly saw that many ordinary audiences chose to leave early.

Watching the movie, he was also a little confused about what Dave Scola and director Bright Ratner thought. Do they think such a plot would be more impactful?

Audiences who like this type of video often have a relatively low psychological acceptance.

Could it be that the "X-Men" series will be done if it leaves Brian Singer?

According to Cara Fess, the director who replaced Brian Singer is not only interested in "The Return of Superman", but also has other considerations. For example, Brian Singer is one of many homosexuals in Hollywood. He always uses his power to hook up with young male actors in casting and filming. If it is your will, it is nothing. It is just the most ordinary thing in Hollywood, but he also targets some underage boys, and in order to make them submit, he uses some harassment and obscene means.

Indeed, most actors choose to be patient, but not everyone does. The crew always needs to appease many people, which also gives Twentieth Century Fox a headache.

Brian Singer and Bright Ratner still have some connections.

In fact, Bright Ratner was originally the director who chose the X-Men to bring "The X-Men" to the screen. Unfortunately, at that time, 20th Century Fox was unable to determine the date of filming. Due to the contract with Bright Ratner, he started filming "Rush Hour" as required, which led to Brian Singer's success in "The X-Men".

What's more interesting is that Bright Ratner was originally the director of Warner Bros. Brian Singer's intervention just turned the two of them around, and also allowed Bright Ratner to hold hands with the "X-Men" series five years late.

But this time, holding hands is definitely not a pleasant one.

The Memorial Day schedule promotes the film's box office very significantly. This public holiday on Mondays every year can form a three-day holiday.

"X-Men 3: Battle of the Wave" does not have any rivals during this holiday. In the three days of the weekend, it won $100 million from North America, and in the four days of Memorial Day holiday last Monday, it earned $120 million in North America's box office in four days.

Everything looks beautiful, and it seems that the North American box office of this film will directly rush to $350 million or even $400 million.

However, whether it is an ordinary audience, the media and film critics, the sharp decline in reputation compared to the first two films has become a drag on the subsequent box office trend of the film.

Comments like "the uglyest movie", "the bad movie of a bad director", and "can only watch it casually".

This directly leads to subsequent box office failures, and premature ejaculation occurs as soon as the working day arrives.

Especially on the second weekend, the box office of "X-Men 3: Battle of the Wave" actually plummeted by 70% on the next weekend, and it will only earn $30 million, which surprised everyone. (To be continued.)
