For Hollywood, the 1995 summer season started with "Die Hard3" released on May 19, but since the beginning of the "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" trailer officially debuted at Super Bowl at the beginning of the year, the global media and fans ’eyes have been focused on The long-awaited super blockbuster.
On June 2, the day when "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" was released also became the official start of the summer season for most ordinary people.
The huge success of "Jurassic Park" two years ago was not only reflected in the record-breaking global 1 billion USD Box Office, but also made the brand "Jurassic Park" popular, and even formed a cultural phenomenon, although the CG Special Effects film gradually rose Under the background, the "Jurassic Park" series can hardly reach the height of 《Star Wars》 in the 1970s, but the potential commercial value of its brand still reaches 1 billion USD.
Under this powerful influence, the premiere of "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" attracted the strong attention of hundreds of media within the scope of global.
Eric rushed back from New York to Los Angeles on the morning of May 31, and began to make final preparations for the premiere of "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" the next day.
At 5 pm on June 1, the premiere of "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" was officially held at the Los Angeles Music Center.
The new version of "The Lost World: Jurassic Park", Eric enabled Director Joe Johnson, who worked with Disney on many films. The Director, a special effects artist, produced Box Office in the late 1980s Family comedy "Dear, I made my child smaller".
In the original timeline, Joe Johnson was supposed to be the Director of "Jumanji" and "Jurassic Park3", and Eric handed over "Jumanji" to others, so Joe Johnston joined "Jurassic Park" in advance Series, if second part can be successful as scheduled, you can also let the opponent continue to handle the third part.
The sparkling red carpet session lasted two hours. Because the media Q & A was arranged after the film screening, the time came at seven o'clock in the afternoon, after the host gave a brief speech. The movie officially began in the hall.
original's "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" is basically a Spielberg's ticket game, the plot is weak and messy. The story advancement still uses the first part character's intentional death setting, and even later, Spielberg himself admitted that this is his worst movie. Although in the original time and space, "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" global Box Office still reached 600 million more USD, but the whole series of word of mouth was completely screwed up, resulting in the third part of global Box Office only 300 million USD.
The new version of "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" script adopts the general concept of original, but in order not to repeat the same mistakes, to maintain a good reputation of the series. The story frame of original was completely overturned by Eric.
In the new script, Eric weakens the plot to explore Dinosaur Island, deletes some branches, and no longer adopts a very brainless non-dead setting. Instead, the story focuses on the first behind-the-scenes company that bribed the park computer administrators for the dinosaur embryos to cause the final disaster. This company captured a variety of dinosaurs from the dinosaur island in order to build a new Jurassic Park for huge profits. After they spent the effort of nine cattle and two tigers to successfully capture a Tyrannosaurus Rex, Tyrannosaurus Rex escaped inadvertently during the transportation process, which caused a more catastrophic Tyrannosaurus Rex invasion of the city.
In the movie. In order to find that cubs are rampant in the metropolis, Tyrannosaurus Rex has not only caused shock all over the world, but also made thousands of audiences in movie theaters scream. This setting is very successful. After all, the resurrection of dinosaurs in modern society is already a very big gimmick, and the plot of Tyrannosaurus Rex's invasion of the city is definitely more sense of substitution than the dinosaur island that is hanging overseas.
The compact storyline makes everyone forget about the loss of time. The two-hour movie watching process can be described as turning around. When Tyrannosaurus Rex, which caused a series of disastrous consequences, was finally subdued, the subtitles were raised, and the music hall suddenly There was a warm applause.
When the audience and guests participating in the premiere dispersed, the press conference followed. The invited reporters did not discuss the quality of the film, nor did they ask the crew's outlook for Box Office. Instead, they accidentally used the first opportunity to ask questions that they had been holding for more than a year.
"Mr. Williams, I am a reporter for the Seattle Daily. First of all, I would like to say that this is a very good sequel, but we still do n’t understand, why would you give up directing the" Jurassic Park "series?" In the press conference hall , A female reporter who was lucky enough to get the right to ask questions stared closely at Eric and asked impatiently.
Eric took the microphone passed by the person next to him, with a faint smile on his face, and said, "I know everyone has been curious about this question for a long time, but my answer is not much different from the previous announcement of Firefly Group, and It does n’t mean anything to everyone. On the one hand, I do n’t like to repeat a certain job, on the other hand, it is also the main reason, because I am too busy now, it is difficult to take a few months alone to fly overseas shoots a movie. "
"Mr. Williams, does this mean that you will not personally shoots the movie again in the future?" The female reporter asked quickly again while the microphone in her hand was not taken away.
Eric thought for a while and said: "Really, the first" Jurassic Park "two years ago has reached a peak in my personal career. If a person has done something to the extreme, I want to make him full of passion It ’s definitely a very difficult thing to continue to do this thing repeatedly. Will I continue to the next movie of shoots? The answer is yes, because I am too young and have a lot of time, but the next movie I do n’t even know when I started. "
The question microphone was passed to another reporter. The other party said: "Mr. Williams, I am a reporter of 《The New York Times》. May I ask, under what circumstances would you continue to make the next film?"
"This is too much, for example, I think I can break through my own projects, or script that makes me have a strong interest. Of course, there is also a situation where a friend once joked that I am like a restaurant chef , You can top yourself at any time if the chef is absent for some reason. The same is true. If the Firefly Group project requires me, I can also play in person at any time. "
"You mean, can you direct any kind of movie project under Firefly?"
Facing the small trap in this question. Eric shook his head slightly and smiled: "Oh, I don't know this. But you can go back and see what kind of movies I have produced over the years."
There was also a light laughter from the audience, a moment later. Another questioner said: "Mr. Williams, I am a reporter of" Hollywood Reporter ". Excuse me, the film you directed has achieved commercial success that no one else can match, so when do you plan to hit the best Director of Oscar?"
Eric would like to ask, if you have become United States President, would you still care about the Scout Medal?
However, if you answer this way. It will definitely be interpreted by the media as Eric Williams's public contempt for Oscar awards. Although he does have this idea in his heart, Eric will never say it in public.
The pretending hesitated for a moment, Eric said to the microphone: "Well, this is the last question about me. If the next question is not related to" Jurassic Park ", I will not answer it again. Then, For your question, I think this will definitely be a very long story. "
Everyone in the field froze for a moment. Immediately realizing the obscure ridicule of the film school in the Eric remarks, they all laughed.
As we all know, Eric is only twenty-five years old now. In the history of Oscar for more than half a century, no Director has got a Oscar little gold man before 30. Therefore, if Eric shows the intention to impact the best Director, then he and the college will definitely stage a protracted chase game. It is conceivable that in order to maintain its authority, the Film Academy will never succumb to the various auras on the head of Eric, and even for the ratings of the award ceremony, 100% will be more harsh on the Eric's Olympic film.
Even, Eric can imagine. If he wants to hit Oscar, it is likely to replace Xiao Lizi. Become a terrier in every Oscar.
Little Li Zi has now embarked on that big ship following the historical trajectory, then. It ’s left to him to create a laugh for fans.
After the premiere, "Jurassic Park" was officially released in the North America theater, and the number of open screens broke the record again, reaching 3,500.
Joining such a film sequel that once created the Box Office myth, Joe Johnston ’s pressure can be imagined, so he did not have the heart of the previous life Spielberg's ticket, and invested a lot of energy in this sequel, although the final production The cost is overrun, but it is obviously worth it.
"More compact plots, more elaborate special effects, people unconsciously spent two hours of intense excitement in the theater, there is no doubt that Joe Johnston handed over a copy of this sequel A satisfactory answer. "—— 《Los Angeles Times》
"The setting of Tyrannosaurus Rex's rampant city makes people stunned. Even in the theater, watching the crowd chased by Tyrannosaurus Rex on the screen, I can't help but speed up my heartbeat, creating a feeling of running away." ———— "Hollywood Daily News"
"I originally thought this would be a satisfactory sequel, but the film's breakthrough in the first part style, the breakthroughs in the plot and special effects, etc., were surprising, and the plot of the monster's invasion of the city could not help. People start to think about whether we should be more in awe of nature and less devastated. "—— 《The New York Times》
Compared to the one-sided bad review of the previous life sequel, the critics have basically given a positive review for this new edition. With a good reputation, the film was obtained on the first Friday and single day with the number of 3,500 open screens. 31.7 million USD Box Office, easily breaking all previous single-day Box Office records.
Subsequently, Saturday 33500,000 USD and Sunday 29800,000 USD.
Finally, after adding the 5600,000 USD Box Office at midnight on the night of the premiere, everyone was surprised to find that "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" once again created a new Box Office record with a 100 million zero 600,000 USD Box Office.
At the same time, under the operation of Firefly Group's powerful distribution channels, "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" has been released overseas in 22 countries and regions, and 60 million USD has also reached Box Office in the first three days of the first weekend.
Three days of global Box Office 160 million USD easily exceeded the total production and distribution costs of Firefly for this sequel.
Many people ca n’t even imagine how high this movie will be again.
For Eric, seeing this Box Office transcript, his last bit of anxiety completely dissipated. At the same time, he was also 100% sure that the previous life "Jurassic Park" sequel was really smashed by the old classmates.
In fact, this is not too unexpected for Eric. The huge popularity of the film first part, coupled with the same excellent quality of second part, and the further expansion of the North America and global film market, even if Box Office can not reach the first part up to And it will never be too much.
Moreover, previous life's Jurassic World, which restarted after years of delay in "Jurassic Park", North America 600 million USD, global 1.6 billion USD's Box Office, is also enough to prove how strong people are interested in this dinosaur series.
Los Angeles Culver city, Columbia Film Studio in the film and television base.
A black Lincoln slowly stopped in front of an office building in Film Studio. The Sony United States branch CEO Howard Stringer had just got off the bus, and the new Columbia Film Studio CEO Bill? Micnick was welcomed.
Bill? Michanik is also a veteran of Hollywood. He once worked in three companies: Paramount, Disney, and Fox. When he was in Disney in the mid-1980s, Bill? Michanik dominated the video tapes of Disney classic animated movies. Release work, and created a series of beautiful sales performance, in the late eighties to switch to Fox as Vice Chairman.
After Fox appointed Joe? Ross as Chairman, Bill? Michanik has already begun to work out a job-hopping plan.
After abandoning Michael? Ovitz's plan to be the helm of Columbia, Sony looked for a few months, and this position finally luckily fell to Bill? Micnick.
In fact, Columbia is not without better candidates, but after experiencing the events of Peter? Guber and strong? Peters, Sony became very cautious in the decision to delegate power to Film Studio managers, so a batch of better Hollywood Manager During the negotiation process, people withdrew from the competition for the position of the head of Columbia because of various restrictions of Sony.
Howard Stringer and Bill? Michanik embraced warmly and greeted each other, and they walked towards the office building together.
Bill? Michanik followed the Howard Stringer step by step, saying: "Howard, you should have read the Box Office report of" The Lost World: Jurassic Park ", right?"
"Of course," Howard Stringer nodded: "I came here today, just want to talk to you about this matter, Headquarters just sent me a project over there, in my opinion, it has great potential like" The Lost World: Jurassic Park " . "(To be continued.)
