Since the day he appeared in Hollywood, all the movies that had direct relationship with Ryan, except for "The Pianist", have achieved profitability, and some of them can even be said to be huge profits. In addition to bringing him urgently needed investment funds, the most direct effect is reflected in the market.

In recent years, as movies with major investments have suffered Waterloo, Ryan has become the most trusted brand in theaters. They are willing to release commercial movies he participates in and actively maintain sufficient screening rates, because these can ensure the revenue of theaters.

Although the profits of cinemas are now developing towards the surrounding areas, the same principle as movies is that if there are not enough audiences, the sales of other products will be impossible.

In this way, after Ryan took over, Disney could always win enough theaters for its big-time movies. Even in the fiercely competitive summer season, "The Hunger Games" with Ryan's name hanging in the author, actor and producer column also won over 4,000 theaters. The box office brought by the film itself must not regret signing the distribution agreement.

The second week of "The Hunger Games" still has 4,187 theaters, and there are only so many theaters and screens in North America, which indirectly caused "Escape from the Cloned Island" to be able to open paintings with 3,122 theaters.

The heroine of this film is Scarlett Johnson, and Spielberg's personal invitation - the old Jewish man has promised to be the director of "Jurassic Park 3" - Ryan attended the premiere of "Escape from the Clones". Although Michael Bay took the initiative to say hello, he said nothing.

Everything will be after this movie.

Of course, Ryan was not interested in DreamWorks, and he took away many of the best movies in his previous life.

This is not a typical explosive shell-like movie, at least the first half is not.

The opening of this film can be said to be the most beautiful opening in the Explosion Bay movie. The beautiful bay, mountains, blue waters and ethereal music...

He is worthy of being a director who is a filming MV.

However, the biggest problem with this movie is the inconsistency between the front and back. If the style of the opening of the movie continues, or the traditional explosive shell-style film is shot, it will probably be better than the film that is obviously divided into the upper and lower episodes.

To sum up the words of a director in his previous life, that is, all successful directors are paranoid, Michael Bay is the same. His understanding of movies is somewhat similar to Ryan, and he often takes attracting audiences and stimulating adrenaline secretion as a prerequisite.

The movies of Blast are always stubborn and violent. Halfway through the movie, the beauty and some thoughts all disappeared.

Michael Bay carefully constructed all the puzzles, suspense, and even the extended inferences about the value of life, replaced by waves of explosions and car chase scenes that are as strong as waves of explosions and car chase scenes.

So, Ryan saw an alternative "Breaking into the Deadly Island".

To be fair, among all the movies shot by Blast Bay, the one with the best control of the car chase scene is definitely this "Escape from the Cloned Island", which even surpasses his most praised "Breaking into the Deadly Island".

The problem is that the style change before and after the film is too abrupt, completely tearing down the fantasy created by the film. In other words, the film is like the hand of two directors with completely different styles. It is completely impossible to blend together. This is also one of the reasons why Scarlett Johnson said it was awkward and always felt something was wrong.

Failed videos are often a bit over if they are not liked by the audience. The problem with this film is more than this. In the end, the transformation of the black supporting role is simply a magical turning point!

According to Ryan's speculation, if nothing unexpected happens, this film will definitely follow the old path of the previous life.

If "Escape from the Cloned Island" fails, Michael Bay has two ways to go. One is to continue to work hard on the connotation of the film and transform thoroughly; the other is to return to the original style and bring the explosion and visual effects to the limit.

Of course, Ryan would push him on the second path, and there are countless directors in the world who engage in literature and art. The directors who can shoot commercial films so popular and excitingly are Michael Bell.

Although the success of the "Transformers" series in his previous life has certain brand effects, the role of the Blast Bay cannot be ignored. After all, the first-line directors in Hollywood can do it like him?

To this day, Ryan still clearly remembers that when filming "Transformers 2" in his previous life, the producer gave $200 million, but in the end, the explosion Bell spent less than $195 million, and the rest were returned.

This is simply incredible for Hollywood-style filming and first-line commercial directors, especially the final effect of the film is still excellent and has achieved great commercial success.

In "Transformers 3", the explosion capsized the cost to less than $200 million, and even completed the production of the film in advance for only $190 million.

Perhaps in terms of achievements and status, he is far from James Cameron and Stephen Spielberg, but his ability to control costs is obvious to all, and he never overspents or time-outs in filming.

It’s not unreasonable that Hollywood producers like Michael Bay in their past lives.

Besides, what is the connotation of "Transformers"? It is hot and exciting, and it is the most important thing to like the audience.

However, this movie "Escape from the Cloned Island" is obviously not among the audience's favorites.

After the premiere, Ryan also paid a little attention to the reputation and box office of the movie. Just like the major events in the past, no accidents happened.

"A work that is overly chaotic, you will not find that you have been hypnotized by the plot until the end of the movie." This is what an ordinary audience said in an interview. "These 127 minutes are purely a feeling of intermittent chaos."

Another movie fan wrote on his blog, "If you unfortunately walked into the theater of "Escape from the Cloned Island", I can only tell you one sentence - the money was spent in vain!"

These are all very representative remarks among ordinary movie fans.

But what Ryan felt was incredible was that the most famous critic Roger Albert gave "Escape from the Island of Clones" a high score of eight and rated it as an excellent, creepy science fiction movie.

I can only say that as I grow older, the aesthetics and tastes of this film critic are becoming more and more strange; as his influence declines sharply, he is getting further and further away from the public and the market.

In fact, for a commercial masterpiece with a total investment of more than US$200 million, taste, style, and film critics' evaluation have no meaning. The most direct and critical criterion is box office.

"Escape from Clones" also officially started painting on Friday, with 3,122 theaters. The box office in one day was not even a fraction of the box office of the first day of "The Hunger Games" last week, only $4.2 million. Even if the latter was released for a week, the box office on that day was more than four times that of it - the single-day box office rose to $18.99 million!

In the following two days, the box office of "Escape from the Clones" showed no sign of improvement, and after three days of the weekend, it only received $12.4 million.

The box office of "The Hunger Games" in the past three days was as high as $58.55 million, and the North American box office accumulated infinitely close to $250 million. Among all the films released this year, the North American box office was only behind "X-Men 3: A Battle Against the Way". Although the latter's North American box office reached $275.55 million, the growth rate can almost be described as a snail.

It seems that Disney is going to take away this year's North American box office champion again.

This is the view of many people in Hollywood. After Walt Disney fell into Ryan's hands, it completely turned into a behemoth. In terms of market value alone, among all media groups in the world, it is second only to Time Warner, which swallowed American Online, but the latter's profitability is a question.

In the following week, "The Hunger Games" grabbed another $46.23 million, and the box office in North America officially exceeded $300 million. "Escape from the Clones" had a box office of only $9.7 million this week. Not to mention comparing to "The Hunger Games", even "The Smiths" released for four weeks scored $17.43 million, leaving it far behind.

Even the most optimistic assessment agencies, even if all possible profits are included in the later period, DreamWorks will not be able to recover such a huge expense. One and a half of their feet have stepped out of the cliff.

Although Spielberg's World War will be released in July, there are rumors that the Big Three are going to sell DreamWorks in Hollywood, with the lack of liquidity and huge debts plagued by them. Disney, Paramount and Twentieth Century Fox are all listed as potential acquisition targets.

Compared to DreamWorks, Ryan is more interested in the frustrated Michael Bay, but Blast Bay also led the crew to work hard to build momentum in North America. Ryan not only made Scarlett convey his intention to talk to him, but also made a phone call and turned his eyes back to his own movie.

As the first movie in North America with a box office of over $300 million this year, "The Hunger Games" still has great potential to be tapped, such as the illustrated novel released after the movie was released, which sold more than 1.5 million copies in three weeks.

Mockingbird brooch has become the most popular jewelry in North America this summer. Disney not only launched a luxury version of the brooch with Tiffany, but also released various ordinary versions with more popular prices. In the same three weeks, various versions of Mockingbird brooch sold more than 4.7 million in the five English friendly zones, bringing Disney a net profit of $12 million.

This film has a huge influence among teenagers. Various products with movie patterns have recently become best-selling products. Even some senior Disney executives are considering whether to add the "Hunger Games" section to Disneyland.

Of course, this is just an idea. Unless Ryan and Disney's management go crazy, they will invest heavily in creating other movie sections before "Harry Potter" is finished.
