"Lyman directed the new film "The Monster in the Lake" held a grand premiere at the China Grand Theater last night. This commercial film with the theme of monster disaster made its debut and received a box office of 5.6 million yuan."

"Excellent visual effects, compact and orderly rhythm control, climax scene scheduling, and occasional funny lines... Everything revolves around a clear and clear storyline, turning the movie-watching process into an emotional outburst that exclaims. Just focus on, you can get a viewing feast."

"From the warmth of the opening to the tragic ending, the plot is full of tension, especially Matthew's wonderful performance, slowly telling a character with blood and courage and hesitation enough to make the audience feel safe, and it also leaves a deep impression on people. I am looking forward to Matthew's performance in other movies in the future."

The next morning, accompanied by the sound of paper turning, Lehman sat at the dining table and flipping through the various newspapers that had just been released today.

Eva, on the other hand, brought a simple breakfast to the dining table.

The reviews in the newspapers, except for some stubborn film critics, still picking on them, believing that the movie is too commercial and popcorn work, but most of them still hold positive affirmations.

"Hollywood Reporter" said directly: "After the release of "The Monster in the Lake", a movie-watching craze will definitely be launched in the next few weeks, because it is too mature. Whether it is visual, auditory or rhythmic control, it can satisfy the viewing experience, stimulate the secretion of dopamine, and give people a sense of spiritual pleasure. This is a masterpiece that mainstream public will like."

Bella also wrote in the column of The Chicago newspaper: "Starting with the warmth of a family and ending with the tragedy of a family, it seems to be a small-sized pattern and not grand enough, but it establishes a family performance after the arrival of a monster that can be justified. This structure is quite full and has a strong sense of substitution... In fact, what I appreciate most in this film is not the hot scenes and realistic water monsters, but the subtle little things."

"The Monster in the Lake" is a wonderful, mature genre film with a good viewing experience." - "Hollywood Variety Show"

Of course, there is certainty and criticism.

Nothing can satisfy everyone.

The San Francisco Evening News clearly stated that the story of the movie is very weak, and many places are not digging deep, and the plot is fragmented. In the newspaper, a director who is talented enough has also become secular, assimilated by the strong industrial atmosphere of Hollywood. He will only use visual effects and bombardment scenes to attract audiences, and forget to play in depth in the plot.

This argument with a tit-for-tat and clear position can be said to be a unique scene among Hollywood critics, because they often do not have the same internal conditions.

Thanks to the fact that there were no blockbusters in mid-November and no one competed with "The Monster in the Lake", under Warner's powerful public relations publicity, most passers-by fans were attracted to this movie, especially the pretty good box office results of the midnight show, which gave a lot of convincing power.

It also became a complete focus.

Among the continued hot media comments, as well as the popular reviews of the audience online, including IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes and other online review sites, they also released the film review data of "The Monster in the Lake" as soon as possible.

Just like the characteristic of commercial movies, it is that it can earn box office, but cannot earn good review scores.

Among them, IMDB only got 7.5 points in the early score of more than 1,200 people, and there are even fewer places where professional film critics such as Rotten Tomatoes are crowded. Although the freshness is directly full, the score is only 7.2. However, it is always above the passing line, and no one does not completely criticize it without thinking.

But the energy of commercial popcorn movies has always been to satisfy the audience, and Lehman always has a clear understanding of this.

The dividing line between commercial directors and art directors is so vague and so clear.

Since Hollywood embraced capital, this line has become even more intangible.

For most movie fans, he doesn’t care about business or not, art or art, and can be satisfied with the price, and the spiritual needs are worth it, that is good.

But this is back to the original origin of the movie. How to tell a fictional story?

What postmodern, what double-line, what kind of narrative means are not important, what business, what art, and the atmosphere of the film are important.

Michael Bay, who is the most popular among film critics, is already a first-line director.

No matter how much I make fun of it, how I complain about the explosion scenes that will never be missing in his movies, and even the film score has never been above 8, and the lowest one does not even have a passing line. However, their works always exceed 100 million in North America and 200 million in the future, and will exceed 1.1 billion in the world.

To measure the success of a movie, it should also add the audience's most intuitive attitude. If it is converted into data, it is box office results.

Those with high box office may not be very good, but they will definitely not be bad.

November 10th is also the day when the movie was released in North America.

If someone can investigate from across the United States, they will find that there are long queues of ticket purchases in the theater with the poster of "The Monster in the Lake" at this time, and the more prosperous the theaters in the region, the greater the phenomenon.

The theater manager kept reporting to the headquarters, requesting the expansion of the department and dispatching copies;

After the headquarters summarized, we immediately started to add the screening and notified Warner to cooperate with the action;

Warners are still hyping up the trend, creating greater influence, thereby attracting more passers-by.

This is a kind of harmonious cycle, and it is also the most significant cycle of hit movies.

After the midnight performance that was not outstanding last night but was absolutely not bad, when the sun rose, after watching the movie, or playing tap water on the Internet, and reasonably guided it, "The Monster in the Lake" became a hit in November without any difficulty and was sought after by audiences and movie fans.

It is not difficult to have a full cinema, but it is difficult to fail the attendance rate, especially if the hardcore fans who have released the most on the first day want to have a glimpse of it, and there is no shortage of audience base.

In other words, if you want a disaster movie, it will be hard to shoot, and if you want it, it will definitely be a big hit.

Whether it is "The Day After", "Independence Day", "Jaws"... these examples illustrate how easy it is for the audience to accept such works.

Just like the original "Hanjiang Monster" became the number one movie on the Korean film history list with a small budget, it lasted for six or seven years, breaking the number of moviegoers and setting a new high.
