Time passed midnight, and the Imperial Entertainment Cinema in Santa Monica Commercial Plaza is still crowded. It is Friday now, and "Night City" will begin to be released on a large scale. Because the previous pre-sales were too hot, the North American theater alliance led by the three major theater companies has specially started the release of "Night City" since midnight on Friday.

Although Fridays are still weekdays, there are not many people in the theater at all.

As soon as minus 30 minutes arrived, the hustle and bustle theater lobby was instantly quiet, and all the fans squeezed into the theater, leaving only the theater staff and the theater investigators from cinemasore who were hiding in the corner to accumulate energy.

Rebecca Cartham is a woman who just got the job and believes that she is not a fan of Murphy Stanton, so she doesn't understand the fandom of these fans.

Even though they have to work or class after dawn, these people not only don’t rest, but also go to the theater to spend time and energy. What’s so good about such a crazy and mysterious movie?

Before the early stage of the screening in this theater, she has collected many ratings and comments from the live movie fans. The ratings are all a+ without exception. The comments popped up in her mouth, and she even wanted to blow Murphy Stanton and his video out of the solar system, which is too exaggerated.

Unconsciously pressing the small recorder in her hand, the fanatical voices once again reached her ears.

"From then on, the director of the crime action movie was divided into two levels, Murphy Stanton and other film directors!"

"This movie is so good that it's not wasted for a second!"

“For a movie as good as "Dark City", no matter how much praise is, it is redundant.”

"Murphy Stanton is so amazing. A commercial action movie can actually shoot such height and depth!"

"Absolutely great work, rather than fighting in niche art films, it is better to improve the level of commercial films like Murphy!"

Rebecca Cartham has passed these back to the headquarters in time and has communicated with several other investigators who entered the cinemasore company through social software. All of their theaters are like this.

After waiting for two and a half hours, the movie finally ended. Seeing a movie fan coming out of the passage, Rebecca Cartham immediately came up and stopped a female movie fan walking in the front.

"Hello, I'm Rebecca from cinemasore..."

Rebecca Cartham introduced his identity as quickly as possible. The fan is not unfamiliar with investigators. When Rebecca Cartham asked about the ratings and comments of the film, he said without hesitation, "a+, it must be a+!"

"Do you have anything to say about this movie?" Rebecca Cartham was still very dedicated.

"Well, this should be the last two years, no! Five years..." The female movie fan showed a look of memories, "It's not right, it's the last ten years! It's not right, it's probably the highest comprehensive level commercial movie I've seen since I watched the movie! There's no need to say about Murphy Stanton's work..."

She raised a thumb to Rebecca Cartham, "Absolutely this!"

Rebecca Cartham delivered a little gift to her and said, "Thank you."

The female movie fan nodded politely, "You're welcome."

Then, Rebecca Cartham stopped a male movie fan who looked less than 20 years old and asked the same question.

"How to say it?" The male movie fan scratched his ears and heads, and thought for a while before saying, "It's a very shocking movie. Only Murphy can do it for commercial movies to make such depth."

Rebecca Cartham asked again, "Where is the rating?"

"a+!" he said with certainty, "It's definitely a+!"

In the following time, Rebecca Cartham collected comments from more than a dozen live audiences, just like the previous early stage, without exception, with a+ score.

“The Unparalleled Darkness”

“The story is so wonderful!”

"A movie that reached the pinnacle!"

There are so many such praises, so many that Rebecca Cartham was disgusted with hearing them. He wanted to hear some fresh negative reviews, but unfortunately he didn't have the best time all night.

The theaters where "Dark City" were screened across the United States did not gradually become quiet until 5:30 in the morning. But the next morning, in front of the popular theaters in many cities, there was a long queue of hundreds of people before the theater was opened, and the queue was once hundreds of feet.

With the increase in the number of North American theaters, this kind of grand scene has not appeared in a long time.

At the wave estate in Beverly Hills, the sun just hung on the sky, Murphy and Gal Gadot ended their morning tranquil clothes and walked into the back door of the villa from the garden together in short sportswear.

Because there was an event in Los Angeles today, after the premiere last night, the two of them took a private jet with the main crew members to return to Angel City.

“I have signed a contract with Los Angeles International Airport.”

When the two entered the gate, Gal Gadot remembered something and said, "The plane can be docked on the private apron of the international airport in the future."

Gulfstream has delivered business jets.

"Yes, yes." Murphy closed the door, thought for a moment, and said, "The plane is called Gadot."

Gal Gadot knew that he didn't have to be polite with Murphy in such matters, so he nodded, "I'll contact professionals to make and register."

Walking into the living room, the two took the towels handed by the servants, and simply wiped the sweat from their faces. Murphy asked the butler, "Have the fax of Twentieth Century Fox and Cara Fais arrived?"

"Not yet." The housekeeper brought two glasses of water and said, "I have someone guard the fax machine."

Although we have entered the information age, Murphy and Cara Fais still maintain the habit of sending faxes after the premiere.

Gal Gadot took a sip of water and reminded him, "Maybe I'll send you an email, I'll go and have a look first."

"Go together." Murphy followed.

When she arrived at the computer in the living room, Gal Gadot opened the computer and quickly browsed her and Murphy's emails. There was no latest email from Twentieth Century Fox or Cara Fais.

"Not yet." Gal Gadot shook his head, "It seems to be a little late."

Murphy was not in a hurry. After all, the pre-sale box office of the film is here, so the attendance rate of the early stage must be very high, and even more than 90% is not a problem. The box office of the early stage must be no different.

Gal Gadot clicked on the web page and said, "Let's take a look at the comments from the film critics first."

At last night's premiere, except for the deceased Roger Albert, most famous film critics in the United States, were invited by Twentieth Century Fox. They were full of confidence in the film and Murphy, and believed that the film not only meets the appetite of movie fans, but also projects the film's preferences. These so-called professional voices may not be of great help to the box office, but will help the film to hit the awards season at the end of the year.

Murphy and Twentieth Century Fox aim to be more than just the box office of the summer season.

Gal Gadot didn't care about Murphy behind him and looked at the critics' reviews very much.

"Dark City is a dark and highly complex drama. Since entering the new century, it is difficult to find another crime film that can match it!"

"This is definitely not an exaggeration. In terms of conceptualization, creation, performance and director, it surpasses summer popcorn commercial films, and even surpasses all black crime movies. The film from Murphy Stanton uses more angles and broader perspective shooting methods in the compact action plot design, and the near-perfect picture shocks the audience. If you are lucky enough to enjoy the imax version, you will be more surprised and cheerful."

"Murphy Stanton has raised the vulgar things like commercial popcorn films to a very high level. He has made the discussions about art films and commercial films worthless. "Dark City" not only produces a sense of classical tragedy, but also explores contemporary hot topics such as terrorism and power beyond the border. The most important thing is that the movie is flawless!"

"Rolling Stone" Peter Trucky

Seeing these, Gal Gadot was in a very good mood.

"The whole film is extremely smooth. Murphy Stanton made the commercial film like this, which is definitely the level of a textbook. Seeing the end, tragic naturally came to his heart. The cold time during the screening will not exceed five minutes. Every minute is a visual feast, and it is beyond imagination. It seems that there is really such a New York in the world. The narrative and the grand pattern are closely arranged in a rigorous manner, which has transformed the perspective from the simple demands of the chivalrous and righteousness to the reflection on terrorism and the calm thinking of the centralized people. The technique is supplemented by fast-paced editing and exciting soundtracks, and has a contemporary epic dramatic spirit!"

Todd McCarthy 'Hollywood Reporter

Gal Gadot is very sure that this video will inevitably have a huge reputation.

"The film is not only full and exciting, but also portrays the characters in detail, and captures psychological changes in place, which is fascinating and thought-provoking. Throughout the movie, the weaknesses of human nature are constantly poked, and the choices forced to make also test the darkness of human nature; justice will eventually defeat evil, and this is precisely because of the glory of human nature..."

Kenneth Tulane, Los Angeles Times

Then, Gal Gadot went to Rotten Tomatoes to look at it again. Rotten Tomatoes has included 77 professional film reviews, with a positive review rate of up to 98%, and an average comprehensive score of 8.9 points!

For a commercial film, this is definitely a very popular professional reputation.

She then opened the imdb and looked at it, turned her head and said to Murphy, "Congratulations, my dear, the imdb video is currently rated at 9.8!"

Murphy shrugged and said nothing. He was still very calm. Most of the people who watch "Dark City" are his fans, so it is of course very high.

"Sir, Miss..."
Chapter completed!
