"The Spirit of Aura" is destined to be unable to enter the Valentine's Day schedule.

In order to ensure the smooth issuance of Fox's new stock, Ye Jin had to release another movie "Robot Men" in advance.

This science fiction action film directed by Clint Eastwood was originally scheduled to be released in the summer season.

It tells the story of Detroit in the future world, in chaos and sin. High-tech company Cop controls the city. In order to strengthen public security and protect the interests of the company, they decided to launch the Super Police Program.

Police officer Murphy was accidentally injured by criminals during a mission. Cop scientists transformed it into a robot war monarch. Not only did he have a body that was invulnerable to swords and guns, but he was also equipped with powerful firepower.

Murphy thus became a super policeman, strengthening public security under the control of Cop, and his gun was more directed at the civilians who resisted. But Murphy still had his previous memories and conscience, and with the help of his colleagues, he retrieved his memories, punished evil and eliminated evil, and eliminated the conspirators hidden in Cop.

Ye Jin has watched a movie and thinks this movie is cool.

It combines various elements such as science fiction, action, crime, and thriller, and fully expresses the scenes of the postmodern future world.

Moreover, its action scenes are hot, fighting, car chase, gun fighting, explosion... and are performed one after another, both tense and exciting. The gorgeous scenes and gorgeous special effects make this movie very entertaining.

However, although this movie is a very pleasant movie, it is also artistic. Murphy keeps looking for his own memories in the film, and struggles between humans and robots, and is full of human considerations.

In short, this is a work that is quite good in both commercial and artistic aspects. If it is released in a popular schedule, the box office of North America exceeds 100 million US dollars, which should not be a problem.

However, February of America is a cold movie. It is a pity that the box office will be lost at least 30% during this period.

...

Robocopter was held in the Los Angeles area in early February.

The reporters and fans who watched the movie generally gave high praise to the movie.

Especially male fans, they highly praised this movie. They believed that the movie was popular, the special effects were superb, violent and bloody, which made them very enjoyable.

Of course, some viewers also believe that there are too many violent scenes in "Robot Men" and some scenes are still too bloody. If it is deleted, it may be better for the box office.

Fox Pictures happily accepted these opinions and deleted some of the violent shots, which made the movie, which was originally rated as R-level, finally received a pg-13 rating.

In the America movie rating system, R-level is a restricted level, which means that teenagers under the age of seventeen must only watch the movie with the company of their parents or guardians. Otherwise, they are not allowed to enter the theater.

PG-13 is the ordinary level, which means that children under the age of thirteen need to watch this movie with the company of their parents or guardians. Otherwise, they are not allowed to enter the theater.

The mainstream audiences of movies are basically young people between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five. Therefore, R-level movies will naturally lose some audiences and lose a large amount of box office. In comparison, the PG-13 level covers more range and the box office potential will be greater.

Of course, deleting those violent shots will weaken the appeal of the film and not achieve the desired effect. But for the sake of box office, I have to sacrifice the quality of the film.

Just like Disney movies, in order to lower the movie rating, the plots of all its movies tend to be low, mediocre, and routine. This led to the bombardment of the big boss Martin Scorsese that Marvel movies are not film art, but just a theme park.

Clint Eastwood is also dissatisfied with the cut of violent films.

In his opinion, this "Robot Men" is about showing violence, bloodiness, and using the most direct picture to stimulate people to think and reflect. However, the movie after the cut is gone without that effect, it is like scratching a tickling through the shoe, with no effect at all.

However, it is useless for him to be dissatisfied. Although he is also a well-known actor and a well-known director, he still did not obtain [editing rights].

The editing rights of the film are in the hands of Fox Pictures, and it is willing to cut the film into whatever it is. Even if it cuts the violent action movie into a comic comedy, he has no right to ask about it.

So Clint Eastwood had to sulk.

Fortunately, Ye Jin respected this senior more, so he called him personally to comfort him and promised that he would keep all these violent shots when he released videos in the future.

After receiving Ye Jin's call, he felt the respect of the other party. Clint Eastwood felt a little more comfortable and did not continue to get angry.

...

On February 10th, "Robot Men" was officially released on a large scale in North America.

At the same time, Fox Group also officially issued new shares and put 20 million shares into the market.

Most of the screenings of romance films are shown during Valentine's Day. The science fiction action film "Robot Men" is sandwiched in it, and it can be said to be a standout and quite alternative.

However, because of its wonderful stories, gorgeous special effects, gorgeous scenes, coupled with the actors' exquisite interpretation and meticulous choreography by director Clint, this high-quality film is also popular.

On the first day of its release, the box office reached 4 million US dollars, which is quite gratifying. The media also gave a good review of the film, almost a praising word.

The New York Times commented: "In the explosion of fire, splashing debris and blooming corpses, the story progressed unimpeded, and the film did not lose control. The film also started in one shot, and a brand new Hollywood hero was born with the film."

The Los Angeles Times commented: "Robot Men is a maverick thriller. Although some of the bloody scenes make people feel uncomfortable, in many ways, it is a masterpiece of action movies."

The welcome of the audience and the praise of the media have made the box office of "Robot Men" stand out.

Although romance films are the protagonists during Valentine's Day schedule, none of these romance films are the opponents of "Robot Men", and they are hit by it.

With the support of "Robot Men", the issuance of new shares of Fox Group has also gone very smoothly.

In "Robot Men", although Fox is only the publisher and cannot get much box office share. However, the success of this movie once again proves Ye Jin's strength. The shame brought by Yixue "The Past of the United States" makes people feel confident in the future development of Fox again.

Therefore, Fox's new stock has been actively subscribed by shareholders, with oversubscriptions nearly three times, which fully proves the public's confidence and expectations for Fox.
