Chapter 294 Shocked the United States! It only takes 15 days to create a box office myth!
By this time, Spike Lee still didn't think it was a big deal, he said lightly when facing the media: "I have to say, Lin Long has a good teacher, and we all know that Auerbach and Adam are 40 years old. My friend, Auerbach has taken his heart out for Lin Long! In order not to disappoint Auerbach, I will definitely buy tickets for the premiere and see Lin Long's works!"
Spike Lee still wants to eat this bowl of rice, so naturally he doesn't dare to offend Adam, a big man in the industry.
Therefore, I didn't dare to point directly at Adam's nose and scold him for talking nonsense.
But Spike Lee still expressed yin and yang that without Auerbach's help and face, Lin Long's film would not have been able to go to theaters at all!
For these, Lin Long did not respond more, he just said calmly: "See you on Sunday!"
A few days before the arrival of Sunday, Lin Long and the Celtics snatched up a few wins to start another wave of their winning streak.
In the blink of an eye, on Friday, January 15th, the day of the release of "The Bursting Drummer", at 11:45 in the middle of the night, the reporters of good things really met Spike Lee, who came to a high-profile movie theater in New York.
Regarding the reporters, Spike did not evade or be annoyed in the slightest. Instead, he said that he was very generous. He packed an entire movie hall and invited all the reporters who came to the scene to watch Lin Long's trash with him.
"There are still 2 hours left, Lin Long is arrogant, and there are only 2 hours left. After 2 hours, he will bow his head to admit his mistake and realize how naive he is! Let's go in and watch the 410 The biggest joke in the history of the movie! I will give an evaluation on the spot after the movie is over, and express my most real and intuitive feelings on the spot, let's go in with me!"
The good New York reporters naturally wouldn't turn down Spike Lee's invitation. They filed in and walked with him into the theater under his package.
"Maybe, this will be the only full room in this movie, hahaha, everyone may wish to take pictures." The closer the movie gets to the start, the more relaxed Spike Lee becomes.
In fact, he is not a foolhardy guy.
On the contrary, Spike Lee's mind is very clear to be able to become an industry leader and win so many awards.
Ever since he knew that Lin Long started filming, he secretly found someone to investigate.
He certainly knew that Lin Long had several Hollywood confidantes, LIN-STAR, a brand-new brand that was on the rise, and Auerbach, a senior who had a certain strength in all walks of life in the United States.
At the beginning, Spike Lee was also worried that Lin Long would use these resources to find a group of masters to give him advice.
In this case, it is really hard to say who wins and who loses.
But Spike Lee investigates and finds...
Lin Long's assistant director, photography and uniforms team used LIN-STAR's advertising team, and the actors used all the little-known little actors from Boston. In all the credits, only JK Simmons and Ka Mellon Diaz is a Hollywood veteran.
But that's all.
After all, if his spy hadn't told Pike Lee, he didn't know JK Simmons, a little transparent who didn't have a representative work, and Diaz was simply Lin Long's love interest.
This also means that there is almost no foreign aid in this film, and there is no accidental factor, it is Lin Long who made it himself!
With this kind of grass stage team, it took half a month to shoot things, want to challenge me? It's ridiculous!
This is where Spike Lee's confidence comes from!
This confidence continued until the opening of the movie.
With the screen completely blacked out...the theater lights are off, and the long black screen doesn't rush to give a picture.
"Boom!
"Boom! 99
"Boom boom!
The sound of jazz drums reached everyone's ears.
From slow to fast, from slow to urgent, then the title of "Boom Drummer" finally hangs up, and the screen finally lights up.
At the end of the dim and dilapidated corridor, there was a man clumsily playing his jazz drum.
Only then did the audience know that this film turned out to be really drumming!
But there was something wrong with Spike Lee's expression.
This kind of beginning with a black screen and a simple drum beat that brings people into the rhythm isn't very high-level, but from the mere percussion to the title to the screen lighting up, as well as the choice of advancing shots and colors, Spike Lee's The insider has determined one thing -
This is definitely not something that a layman can do casually!
This bad feeling, with the deepening of the plot, was slowly thrown into the clouds by Spike Lee.
He was completely captivated by the plot!
Spike Lee may be an outspoken jerk, but his love for movies and basketball is unadulterated!
He went from prejudice at the beginning to surprise after the beginning.
Then to the rapid progress and depth of the plot, the whole person is completely brought into the rhythm of the movie.
In the 110-minute movie, Spike Lee exclaimed several times and frowned several times. He was shocked again and again by the behavior of the protagonist's master and apprentice, and was shocked by the ability shown by Lin Long again and again.
Not only Spike Lee, but the reporters and fellows in the whole movie hall exclaimed and applauded again and again, and they were deeply attracted by the plot of the movie.
When the climax of the final film begins, the band completes their perfect performance in the concert hall.
I don't know who was the first to shout, and frantic applause and cheers began, followed by warm applause and screams in the entire theater.
Judging from the reactions of these media people, you can see how the film is going.
When the film officially ended and the screen went black to play the ending song and the list of people, two large characters first appeared.
"Thank you Mr. Spike Lee."
"I would like to send this film to all those who have dreams. 35
Applause and cheers sounded again, and everyone who watched the premiere fell into a strange carnival and excitement.
They don't know why, this movie is definitely not a comedy, not a cool movie!
Not even a happyend.
But it is hearty, and there is a wonderful magic power that makes people want to release the power in their hearts.
After a long time, Spike Lee took to the stage.
Standing in front of dozens of media people, he was holding the microphone with a complicated expression. After a long time, he finally took the microphone to his mouth and said, "I have to say, sorry, there are really geniuses like us in this world. Ladies can't understand. I used to think I was a genius, but compared to Lin Long, I'm a self-righteous idiot."
"This movie, I give up! I can't even find any faults and shortcomings to protect my poor dignity, I don't care if he can get any nominations, I give up, if "Boom Drummer" doesn't get an award, it is The judges are blind or their brains are broken!
Spike Lee conceded defeat and was upright and candid, which aroused rounds of applause from the scene.
While Spike Lee conceded defeat, Lin Long's system sent a message to Lin Long.
"The host defeats Spike Lee and can receive rewards, or carry out a hidden follow-up mission: let Jason Nicholson fail in his acting skills.
According to Lin Long's experience last season, the reward of this kind of hidden mission must be much higher than that of ordinary completion, so he did not hesitate and chose to continue the mission directly.
In the rearmost corner of the cinema, two women with huge sunglasses and scarves walked out of the cinema quietly.
It was not until they got into the car and disguised themselves that they breathed a sigh of relief.
Richards Theron and Jessica Alba.
Alba's mood was still a little ups and downs: "Richards, how can Lin make such a good film! How can he be so talented?"
Theron laughed and joked, "Would you like me to buy a plane ticket to Boston and let you go to him immediately and tell him how much you admire him?
Alba slapped Theron reluctantly and said coquettishly, "I'm afraid one isn't enough, don't you want to go, Sister Richards?"
On this side, the two women left the movie theater contentedly. On the other side, all the viewers who watched "The Bursting Drummer" tonight returned home with a restless and excited heart. This film has almost no bad reviews!
In particular, most of the people who watched the premiere were Lin Long fans.
There are also a large number of journalists who are good news. The two groups of people got together and fully achieved rave reviews and popular publicity!
The word of mouth of the people who watched the premiere, the crazy recommendation to the friends around, Spike Lee's admit defeat on the spot, the media's concentrated reports for traffic, and the excellent quality of the film itself!
All these add up to give "Boom Drummer" all the prerequisites for a hit at the box office!
In the first week, the popping drummer became the number one dark horse on the American theater chain, winning the weekly crown and a super high box office of 35 million US dollars!
Only from the first week of box office analysis, the explosion of the drummer is definitely the top ten hits of the year!
Lin Long, one step to the sky!
And all this, Lin Long only used half a month's production cycle and a production cost of less than 2 million US dollars!
From any angle, this is a terrifying thing!
