"With the ups and downs of the plot, the shocking soundtrack, the sharp and changeable editing, and the excellent performances of several actors, Eric Williams, after the playfulness of "Home Alone" and the warmth of "Pretty Woman", is We came up with a black symphony in a very different style."
"From the mysterious singing at the beginning to the tragic symphony at the end, the gorgeous soundtrack of "Dark War" runs through the whole movie, but it doesn't make people feel noisy at all. The compact plot is full of tension and there is no redundant scene. Two hours Instead, the visual feast gives people a kind of inner peace.”
"Sex and blood have always been the two most adrenaline-inspiring elements in movies, but many movies are always sex for sex and blood for blood, but the use of blood in "Dark War" is not deliberate at all. In the process of watching the movie, every time there was a shot of Tom Cruise coughing up blood, I could hear the heartbroken exclamation of the female movie fans around me, but the exclamation was mixed with excitement like an orgasm. A handsome, gentle and mysterious man who is both good and evil has already made most women fall in love at first sight. Eric Williams is still not satisfied, and he added a stimulating blood-emitting attribute to the protagonist. I'm sure, Crewe The role of Andy created by Stephen will surely cause many filmmakers to imitate in the future."
"The wonderfulness of the two protagonists √, the performance did not hide the light of the supporting roles at all. Joe Pesci raised his eyebrows and curled his lips and shook his head. He was full of joy, and Brooke Shields reappeared after several years of silence, which made it even more exciting. People's eyes are bright, perhaps because of the girl's years of precipitation in Princeton University, Brooke Shields' acting skills are no longer superficial, and a bit more profound and restrained. Although she only appeared for a few minutes, she It has left a deep impact on people. I believe that this time, even if Brooke Shields won't get a positive performance award, the judges of Golden Raspberry will definitely not consider girls as objects again. I am looking forward to Brooke Shields. Will be in other movies in the future."
The next morning, Eric sat on a chair in the dining room and read all kinds of movie reviews that were freshly released in today's newspaper, accompanied by the slight rattle of paper. Nicole, on the other hand, was busy coming and going, bringing a prepared breakfast to the table from time to time.
Soon, a sleepy Drew floated into the dining room in his slippers, pulled out a chair and sat down at the dining table, propped his chin on one hand, and squinted at Eric as he flipped through the newspaper.
"Why don't you sleep more?" Eric asked without raising his head.
"I'm hungry," Drew said, pulling over the small basket placed in the center of the dining table to grab a bagel, but was hit by Eric's rolled-up newspaper: "Have you brushed your teeth yet?"
"Swipe after eating?" The girl blinked her eyes and pretended to be pitiful.
"Eat after brushing," Eric glared at the girl, without any connivance, waved the newspaper in his hand, ready to type it down again at any time.
"Okay, okay, really, like an old man," Drew limply stood up, and floated out again. Last night, the party was a little crazy, and he didn't eat much, so the girl Looks sluggish at this point.
Nicole stood in front of the kitchen counter and listened to the conversation between the two, feeling a little envious in her heart. Although the two did not have any intimate words or actions, this kind of plain conversation made people feel the warmth that only belongs to relatives . In comparison, although Eric has always been polite to her, he has never treated her as one of his own. It's not that girls haven't made efforts in this regard, but with little success.
Bringing the cooked oatmeal into the dining room, the girl began to share breakfast for several people, but a bowl of oatmeal was gently placed in front of Eric, and she looked up inadvertently, only to see Eric frowning slightly at a newspaper .
"What's wrong?" the girl sat down and asked softly. ,
Eric shook his head lightly: "It's nothing, it's just a movie review."
Nicole glanced at the name of the newspaper in Eric's hand, and said softly: "Someone criticized "Dark War"?"
"Well," Eric nodded, and said, "It feels inexplicable. This person seems to be targeting me specifically. I don't remember provoking this person." Eric said, looking down, hoping to Find some author's information. If some newspapers ask for a more famous film critic, they will often attach the film critic's information at the end of the article, so as to make readers feel that this person is very authoritative.
"It turned out to be a full-time film critic for "Premiere" magazine, and he graduated from the Journalism Department of Columbia University," Eric said in a low voice, and Nicole next to him heard the name of "Premiere", and his heart skipped a beat: "Eri Ke, can I have a look?"
Eric handed over the newspaper, and the girl glanced at the author's name, feeling a little guilty, and George Northam was impressively written on it.
“…a two-hour film that doesn’t stand up to scrutiny, a blustery soundtrack that doesn’t hold up, and multiple repetitions of pointless scenes, I feel like it’s a waste of the viewer’s time. time and money…”
The girl just glanced at one of the paragraphs, and quickly returned the newspaper, her eyes flickering slightly, she knew that this article must have been produced because of herself, because George Northon originally praised Eric, maybe This kind of thing happened because of the accidental coincidence last night that made the other party feel embarrassed.
If he had clearly rejected the other party when he struck up a conversation, maybe this kind of thing would not have happened.
Thinking of this, Nicole felt even more guilty, and asked cautiously, "Eric, won't this movie review affect the box office?"
"No," Eric said, "Most of the film critics maintain a favorable attitude towards this movie. It's okay to occasionally jump out one or two critical articles, as long as the general word-of-mouth is not a problem."
"Oh," Nicole breathed a sigh of relief.
Eric carefully looked at the girl's expression: "Nicole, what do you seem to be worried about?"
"No, no," Nicole quickly shook her head in denial.
Eric didn't press any further, he hurriedly flipped through the rest of the newspaper, and started to eat breakfast.
But George Northam didn't seem to intend to publish a critical film review and let it go. On the second day and the third day, the other party's review articles appeared again in several newspapers, and the words became more and more fierce.
In the end, the other party even began to question whether the film was shot by Eric.
George Northam first listed some plausible commonalities of Eric's previous films. After all, "Back to Seventeen", "Home Alone" and "Pretty Woman" are all heartwarming styles, and then changed the subject , made a detailed comparison of several films such as "Home Alone" and the black and cold style "Dark War", and finally gave readers a feeling that "Dark War" has nothing to do with the previous films.
Next, George Northam began to comment on the similarities in many films of those film masters, instilling a point of view in the audience from beginning to end, that is, if several films are shot by one person, even those with changing styles Many film masters can also find a lot in common in their works.
But "Dark War" did not, so George Northam boldly suggested that the film was not actually shot by Eric himself, but that Columbia found the shooter. Fans are being fooled when this is all a money grab in the name of Eric Williams' genius director.
Eric, who read this article, shook his head helplessly, deeply realizing that hooligans are not to be feared, as long as hooligans are educated. Because the analysis in this article is too detailed, the high level of professionalism makes Eric far behind. He deserves to be a top student from an Ivy League school. Even Eric himself has to admit that the other party's analysis is very reasonable.
Because the influence of the newspaper that published George Northam's article is not bad, the 'gunner' view of "Dark War" has actually had a lot of influence among the public.
The box office fight in the summer season is very fierce. Once there is a chance to attack competitors, other film companies will definitely be willing to contribute to the flames. Therefore, in just a few days, doubts among the media have gradually increased, and Columbia has no choice but to respond to this matter. Pay attention and contact Eric urgently to discuss countermeasures.
“Maybe we can sue that film critic named George Northam for defamation,” said one executive in the conference room.
The manager of the legal department shook his head and retorted: "We have already considered this method, but it is very difficult to work, and the federal court will not even accept our prosecution request. George Northam is too shrewd. His article is more like It's a professional paper, and it never clearly stated that "Dark War" was not filmed by Eric. He has been hinting, and this hint is very convincing. To be honest, if I hadn't seen the movie just once During the filming process, I couldn't help but believe this view."
"Now, the most important thing is to clarify that we cannot allow this view to continue to simmer."
"This matter is easy to say, but it is not easy to do. You said, how can we clarify to Eric? Could it be that the TV station will broadcast Eric's filming live? We also found some news during the filming process Photos, but unfortunately, there are many photos of Cruise, Hanks and even Brooke Shields, but there are very few photos of Eric, and it is not convincing at all."
Just when everyone was a little worried, Eric, who was late because he was delayed by some things, opened the door and walked into the conference room, holding a cardboard box in his arms.
"Sorry, everyone, I was delayed for a while because I had to prepare these things." Eric said apologetically to everyone, and found a seat to sit down.
Everyone involuntarily turned their attention to the small box that Eric put on the conference table.
Eric noticed everyone's puzzled eyes, and took the initiative to explain: "Oh, these are some video tapes. That little girl Drew went to the set several times to visit the set and fiddled with the camera to shoot."
