As an action thriller that costs more than 10 million US dollars, the end of the road really has nothing to promote and market.

The two female lead actors, Susan Sarandon, in his forties, won the Oscar for Best Actress nomination, Gina Davis was 34 years old, and just won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress Little Golden Man two years ago.

Both of these are powerful people, there is no doubt about this.

However, the movies they have starred in in the past were mostly thrillers, dramas, and the box office appeal was not very great.

In this regard, Zhu Qingchun, who sleeps with the enemy, is 23 years old. She is tall and has long legs and beautiful appearance. She is really many times more attractive to the audience than the two of them.

As for the director, Ridley Scott has directed successful blockbusters such as Alien, but the audience is not familiar with him, and the other is the most important thing. He made a big bad movie that was still recognized as Blade Runner a few years ago and even now.

When Shao Yifu heard that Qiao Feng had a movie that invited Ridley Scott to be the producer and director, Uncle Six called Qiao Feng immediately, and the meaning was that Qiao Feng should carefully choose the director, at least not Ridley Scott.

Why is this happening?

Among the biggest investors in Blade Runner is Uncle Shao Liu.

It was almost ten years ago. Uncle Shao Liu invested in Blade Runner, and the real money was paid nearly 10 million US dollars. However, the Blade Runner, who invested 28 million US dollars, only got back 33 million US dollars in box office. Based on the calculation of almost half the points, the investor of Blade Runner lost more than 10 million/

The loss is not included in the cost of publicity and distribution, but the cost of publicity and distribution is even more.

Ridley Scott, the most top director in Hollywood in the future, has filmed commercial films such as Gladiator and Mars Rescue, and has won both box office successes.

But at this time, I was not so trusted.

And all of this is the blame for Blade Runner.

A few years later, Blade Runner was considered the greatest science fiction film in film history. In the survey conducted by the British Guardian in 2004, 60 scientists believed that Blade Runner was the best science fiction film in film history, and its reputation even exceeded that of "2001 Space Odyssey".

Among the "Fifty Greatest Science Fiction Movies" selected by the British veteran film magazine "Full Movies", Blade Runner ranked first.

But when Blade Runner was first released, most media criticized the film with bad comments, and film critics also made various fancy mockery.

Until now, Blade Runner's evaluation has not been reversed much.

This is still among the critics and in the hearts of the audience, this movie that has been many years ago has always been synonymous with bad movies.

At this time, he used Ridley Scott's name to promote it, saying that this was a new film made by the director who once directed Blade Runner, so he would not have a good box office if he was a crazy man.

Others, that is, other male characters, are basically disgraceful and disappointing, unreasonable husbands, shameless villains, untrustworthy boyfriends, ruthless gangsters, disgusting tank truck drivers, and the only policeman who seems to be sympathetic also seems even more helpless.

This is also why Qiao Feng did not let Chinese actors act in this film even though he knew that the reputation of this film was very good, especially the actress.

Under such a story, if you want two Chinese actresses to play, even if you only play one of them, the American media will definitely catch this, saying that they are belittling white people and discriminating against white men.

Don’t believe it, the American media can really do such illogical accusations and smears.

Moreover, Qiao Feng doesn't want two Chinese actresses to play, because if these two female protagonists are played by white actresses, the whole movie will be the awakening of feminism and the purpose of feminism.

But if you let two Chinese actresses play, it will not only not involve feminism, but will even be widely believed or led by the media. Chinese women are robbers and murderers.

When it comes to male roles, actresses are not very well-known. There are no more well-known male roles as foils.

Although the movie "The End of the Way" was auditioned for the movie "The Great Handsome" by George Clooney, the audition was still five times in a row and was defeated. The last person who got the role was another Great Handsome, "The Great Handsome" by Brad Pitt.

To put it in, these two are both starring the original Eleven Arhats.

The reason why Brad Pitt was chosen is because Brad, who has not been released yet, has participated in the performance, but George Clooney did not.

So, the coach was beaten five times after auditioning for George Clooney.

Neither George Clooney nor Brad Pitt have been defeated are enough to serve as a promotional point now.

If ten years later, twenty years later, the names of these two people alone would be very topical. If George Clooney was released and failed to be selected for five auditions, the movie would be even more popular before it was released.

But in 1991, neither of these two people are. George Clooney is still struggling with his acting career. Brad Pitt is better, but not much better. You should know that the roles these two handsome men compete for are just a novice who cheats money and has few roles.

In all aspects, there is nothing to promote in the end. It just so happens that the themes are all released with the enemy under the banner of feminism. The box office has been so big that it won 100 million US dollars in a month and a half. If you don’t know how to seize the opportunity to take advantage of the hot topic, MGM’s publicity and distribution department should go to eat the cake.

The end-of-the-road fan's popularity propaganda and playing the feminist card has achieved a much more than everyone's expectations. In several random questionnaires of passers-by, viewers who were interested in watching movies accounted for 65% of the surveyed people, and 31% said they would definitely go to see it.

Among them, the vast majority of women who chose to watch movies accounted for 57%, and the age is between 25 and 45.

Based on this, MGM came to a general conclusion that the theme and intention of the end-of-the-road mad flower are indeed in line with the current environment of awakening women's rights. There are pearls and jades that sleep with the enemy in front of them. As long as this kind of feminist film gets to the point of women, the box office will be no different.

Finally, MGM's box office forecast for the end-of-the-road fan is $130 million to $150 million.

Because the box office of Sleeping with the Enemy exceeded 100 million after one and a half months of release, both the screening and attendance rate dropped significantly, so all parties' box office expectations for Sleeping with the Enemy were about 120 to 30 million US dollars.

MGM believes that the feminist wind has been blown up by sleeping with the enemy. As a latecomer who enjoys his success, the box office of the end-of-the-road man must be higher than sleeping with the enemy.

So, MGM's box office added a little bit on the basis of sleeping with the enemy.
