Chapter 385: Audition

"The Dance with the Wolf" is 236 minutes long, nearly four hours, and one morning is definitely not finished. Eric and Fox's release director and several industry-renowned film critics watched the first two hours together. After lunch, I will finish watching the next two hours.
Eric had never seen this movie before, but during the investigation, the grass had already read the original published book. At this time, watching the four-hour movie, Eric was not like Fox’s release. As a person, when watching a movie, he will subconsciously think about what kind of distribution strategy should be used for this movie, where the propaganda point is, and so on.
Because of his enthusiasm for the plot, Eric is as fond of the invited film critics.
The traditional western film often promotes the heroism of the white supremacy. The plot is usually the rebellion and conquest of the white people in the process of development, under the oppression of local evil forces.
But "Dancing with the Wolf" is completely counterproductive.
The film's protagonist, Lieutenant Dunbar, chose to be self-sufficient in the war because of disability and confusion about the war. After being saved, he was mistakenly regarded as a hero, and this subversion to satirical setting It is also doomed to the unusual tone of the film's tone, which has laid the groundwork for Lieutenant Dunbar's decision to rely on the Indians at the end of the film.
After the injury resumed, Lieutenant Dunbar was sent to a remote post bordering the Indian settlement, thinking that he would live a peaceful and peaceful life.
However, a sneak peek of several children living in a nearby Sioux tribe connected the Lieutenant Dunbar to the Indian tribe. Later, Lieutenant Dunbar accidentally saved the standing punch and sent it back to the Sioux tribe. The contact between the two sides began, followed by temptations, interactions one after another, and exchanges of secondary babies, as time passed. The two sides finally established a sincere friendship, and Lieutenant Dunbar also joined and joined the white women who had flown to the Sio tribes.
The director used a lot of detailed descriptions in the process, but these seemingly dull shots don't feel too long at all. Instead, they often smile because of the kind of interaction between the two sides in the absence of speech.
After marrying the standing boxing dance, Lieutenant Dunbar was about to move completely to the Sect tribe to live, when he returned to the post to pick up the luggage. It was discovered that a team of soldiers had been stationed there again.
And after the appearance of Lieutenant Dunbar dressed in Indian costumes, the white soldiers fired at him indiscriminately. The arrogant white soldiers in the bones ignored the defense of the Sioux Dunbar, but instead When he became a traitor, he was beaten and then escorted to a nearby fortress for trial.
During the process. The Sioux killed the soldiers and rescued Lieutenant Dunbar.
Because of the disappointment of white brutality and arrogance, Lieutenant Dunbar completely changed his name to 'dance with wolves', announcing a break with the white world, but in order not to accumulate the Sioux, Lieutenant Dunbar also reluctantly took a standing dance. Left the tribe.
All the good movies have a feature, which is that people will read it unconsciously, even if it lasts for four hours. Even the bad film is only ninety minutes. It also tends to create an impulse to leave early.
The style of "Dancing with Wolves" is simple and fresh, the lens is unpretentious, the details are rich and very appealing. People unknowingly sink into it.
Whether in the current or future Internet era, Oscar is greatly influenced by film critics. If a film critic admires a film and no Oscar nomination, the credibility of Oscar will certainly be questioned. Therefore, before the Oscar jury voted, it often used the word-of-mouth of the nominee film as a important basis.
Therefore, if any movie wants to hit Oscar. The first thing to do is to publicize the film critic.
After the screening, the invited film critics almost all expressed high praise for the film. The group was sent away, and several executives at Fox's distribution department opened a short meeting. Calta only began to discuss with Eric about the release details of "Dancing with Wolves."
"Eric, although the film critics have been highly appraised for this film, the length of time is the biggest flaw, and many theaters are not willing to screen such a long movie. So we have roughly negotiated two options. One is to be released during Easter next year, so that Fox can arrange 1,500 screens. If the box office moves well, it can be increased. Of course, this is definitely not in line with the release strategy of Okinawa, but it can maximize this. The box office potential of the film."
Although the film in memory has won the best film and best director, Eric does not know exactly what the box office of this movie is, but Oscar has not yet become a niche, reviewing the best Oscars in recent years. The film, such as "Driving for Miss Daisy", "Rain Man" and "Field Battle", etc., all got a very high North American box office.
Therefore, "Dancing with the Wolf" is a typical strategy for the release of the Olympian film. It is the most difficult to earn more benefits through the videotape after getting the best film. And if it is released next Easter, although you can get more canvases, when the Oscar public relations at the end of the year, "Dance with the Wolf", even if the word of mouth is still strong, the influence and propaganda will definitely not match the movies released at the end of the year. Even if I still get the Oscar, the box office rebate after Oscar will definitely not be enjoyed.
Therefore, Eric shook his head directly and said: "Karta, or the second option."
"The second is to follow the strategy of the Oki film, and it will be released at the end of next year, but in this case, your investment will be pressed for another year. I heard that Liz took the film and spent 3000. Million..."
Calta said, remembering Eric's current net worth, smiled and shook his head: "Well, you certainly don't care about the money, then say the second option, put the film at the end of next year." But I can't take Orion's original hair styling strategy. They put the last time on November 9th, it feels like a Hulai, oh, the release of Orion has always been a mess. But think about the current situation of Orion can also Understand that they have been losing money for a few years, so any profit opportunity is not willing to miss, but both want to attack Oscar, but do not want to give up the two-month holiday ticket warehouse, which is too greedy, do not want to think about holidays The competition in the file is so fierce, in case the movie show time can not support the two-month holiday file, how to enjoy the box office bonus after the Oscar."
