Chapter 590: Assemble
Time flies quickly, and when "Farewell My Concubine" is about to be painted in Daewoo, the New Year is about to arrive.
And the year is coming, and "The Avengers", which has been promoted for a month, is also ready to premiere in North America.
Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, and Hulk have all grown into movie protagonists that audiences around the world love, and the paving along the way has also ushered in a natural day.
Heroes join forces in one go.
The premiere of "The Avengers" was star-studded.
This is one of the best ways to attract media and audience.
Under normal circumstances, the premiere will be held within 2-5 days before the release date, and a short period of time can be maintained until the release date, in exchange for maximizing the benefits.
The premiere of "The Avengers" was not attended by ordinary audiences, and the invitees were all industry insiders and friends from the film's main creators.
In recent years, the premiere audience has begun to become impure, and many filmmakers will choose to use a third party, such as a media platform that controls the window of public opinion.
This super-blockbuster that brings together superheroes such as Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, and Hawkeye made fans scream when it was promoted.
So much so that when it premiered, there was a huge crowd outside the venue.
Daewoo's entertainment reporters in the City of Angels in the United States have complicated eyes, Daewoo has a lot of people, and there are very few people in this situation.
Although Americans are not small, it is not easy to gather so many fans.
In random interviews, Daewoo Entertainment reporters found that some fans even drove hundreds of kilometers to the City of Angels.
It's not about watching a movie, it's just about getting a feel for the atmosphere at the premiere.
It's crazy!
Daewoo's entertainment reporter feels that the Marvel universe will have a long way to go.
In many series, the road gets narrower and narrower until you can't go on.
The total distance is short.
But look at the premiere of "The Avengers", it has gone five times, and now it is the sixth.
The sixth part not only does not decline in popularity, but also expands and becomes popular like never before.
A typical pre-release fire.
So that some Daewoo reporters felt sour, but don't let the media and film critics who watched the movie after the premiere collectively dumb up, and then after the release, fans scolded the whole world.
The rise of short video platforms has made live broadcasts more and more popular, so many Daewoo netizens saw the live broadcast footage transmitted back from the premiere scene.
"Really?"
"So many people, are Americans crazy?"
"As much as I like Marvel movies, I don't want to run around like a fool and not get into the screening room. ”
"Brain-dead fans are like this. ”
"What else do you want, doesn't King Pingyang have "Farewell My Concubine"? and want to say that he is not patriotic and wants to spread foreign culture, right?"
"I don't know what the quality of this hero assembly movie that fans have been waiting for for three years is, it's hard to shoot. ”
"It's hard to mix a bunch of superheroes into a movie and tell the story clearly and well. ”
"It's really hard to create a creative technique in which all superheroes seem to have saved the world, and they can still do their own roles together. ”
"Yes, in a movie with a limited duration, it does take a lot of effort and strength to make the character building, the events foreshadowed, the main line elaborated, the special effects fights, and the witty humor all in place. ”
In the quarrel of Daewoo netizens, two and a half hours passed.
The premiere screening of "The Avengers" ends.
Many media and film critics were amazed.
As expected, the film tells a story about protecting the planet.
The difference is the way of telling the movie, although there are many superheroes in the film, but instead of simply piling up characters, they are carefully portrayed, so that the group scenes have reached a perfect balance, and the pent-up emotions also explode with the special effects long shots!
The Avengers, who gather superheroes from all walks of life, are not the director's rigid formulations, but a long-sleeved Marvel-style movie.
As early as "Iron Man 1", that kind of intentional or unintentional connection told the audience, just like Iron Man finally learned that he is not the only superhero in this world.
There's a scene in The Incredible Hulk where Hulk goes berserk in the North Pole, and that's where Captain America freezes. It is also because of Hulk's rampage that people know that Captain America is still alive.
There is also the uninhibited Iron Man, who always likes to tease his teammates like rock stars, but he himself has always been wearing a black suit, similar to the dress in the MV of "Danger".
In addition to "Iron Man" and "The Incredible Hulk", "Thor" and "Captain America" also buried a lot of foreshadowing of "The Avengers", and previewed "The Avengers" to the audience.
The Avengers understands the mindset of every type of audience.
Meet the needs of the public in the plot of the movie: For hot-blooded teenagers, there is a heroic plot and heroism in the movie.
For discerning veteran cinephiles, the well-organized narration and quiet, unobtrusive shots highlight the strength of years of filming sci-fi movie themes.
For the audience who came to see the fight scenes and the big bang, the plot was tense enough and the scenes were bloody enough.
For men and women who control large muscles, the body of superheroes is completely on the appetite.
For viewers who just want to watch a little comedy and have a little fun, dense jokes can guarantee that the opening scene is hilarious until the lights are on.
Even viewers who are not interested in any of the above will be able to get pleasure from the shitty Iron Man and the cute villain Loki.
It contains sincere sadness, humor, and surprise.
In addition to being a standard Hollywood blockbuster, the film is also full of Marvel's unique brushstrokes, making everything in the film seem perfect.
One of the most incredible things about the film is that it makes a superhero film look new again, which is indeed a remarkable achievement.
It's a chance to see six superheroes with a single movie ticket, which is what fans imagine when many of Marvel's idols are together.
This is a movie with brains, heart, and a qualified sense of humor.
This monster movie with a cost of 220 million can be so wonderful and vivid that the audience will hardly notice the length of nearly two and a half hours.
The Avengers assemble, and most of the time they merge brilliantly.
The combination of heroism and humor makes the film maintain the unique success characteristics of each hero, and also improve the overall quality of the film.
It manages to satisfy almost all the requests of superfans, relying on enough self-deprecating humor to make the adults in fancy clothes seem real and believable.
Each character was fully played, and while their appearances may not be exactly equal, the audience was satisfied.
A fan-oriented film was a success.
The best proof is that after the release, it was both popular and popular, and in less than a week after its release, it sold $500 million in North America.
At least 18 product placements appeared in the film, and about $150 million in advertising fees were recovered, offsetting more than half of the film's cost.
The producer can be said to have made a lot of money.
On the first day of release, it set a new single-day box office record in North America, and even broke the Saturday box office record, Sunday box office record, and average revenue of a single theater in one fell swoop, and became the fastest movie in history to break 100 million, 150 million, and 200 million!
Ning Yunchong has opened a shop in the past two years, he is very leisurely, and he will watch movies when he has nothing to do.
Of course, he will not be left behind in Marvel movies, and he has watched each one more than once or twice on video sites.
Looking back is an inevitable state for people who are beginning to age.
After watching the "Avengers" alliance released by Daewoo, Ning Yunchong couldn't help but sigh that success is accidental, but opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.
Looking back on "Iron Man", "The Incredible Hulk", "Thor", and "Captain America", Ning Yunchong saw clearly that these movies focused on superheroes that the public was not familiar with at the beginning, and brought out Black Widow, Hawkeye, and S.H.I.E.L.D.
And "The Avengers" also really creates a sense of crisis of a major event, so that the audience can really resonate with these Avengers superheroes and generate a sense of tension to save the world.
At the beginning of the film, the Cosmic Cube under the control of S.H.I.E.L.D. becomes unstable, allowing Loki to come to Earth, and from that point on, the film has already hinted that the real purpose of the Cosmic Cube is to be used for spatial teleportation.
So the director had to start the Avengers project, gathering the superheroes that S.H.I.E.L.D. was researching to stop Loki's evil plan.
The interesting part of the film also starts here, the audience actually doesn't want to see superheroes immediately form a team to fight villains, the audience prefers to see who will be more powerful if these superheroes are together.
Therefore, the film also developed from the audience's prying eyes, Black Widow went to Dr. Banner, S.H.I.E.L.D. also summoned Captain America, and Iron Man Tony, who is thriving in his career.
Then the heroes went to Germany together and captured Loki.
They caught the villain Loki at the beginning, which shows that the core of the Avengers is not to defeat the villain and save the world, but to confirm the title of the film "The Avengers", what the film really wants to talk about is how this group of superheroes can really work together to save the world.
On the way back to the bureau with Iron Man and Team America, they are stopped by Thor, and everyone wants to see the fight between superheroes and begins.
After some non-acquaintance, the superheroes were superficially assembled, but at this time they were far from standing on the same front, but were in their own camps and suspicious of each other.
Iron Man represents authority because he feels that he is the authority, Captain America represents the system and the law, the two communities of Dr. Banner and Hulk represent the uncertainty of the so-called power over justice, Black Widow represents the gray channel between good and evil, and Thor represents neutrality,
In the end credits, the audience finally saw Thanos' handsome side face for the first time.
Many people think that "The Avengers" is nothing more than a popcorn movie with a superhero hodgepodge, and every superhero movie is considered to be a brainless film with only special effects.
In fact, most of the time, there are many aspects to the criteria for judging whether a movie is good or bad.
Plot, character building, picture, special effects, music, etc. are all criteria for judging, rather than simply labeling all of a certain type of movie as "main theme" and "qualified popcorn".
It's as if superhero movies are just to kill time, and all fans of these movies are lying down and getting shot.
It is unrealistic to demand a movie with a plot full of intricacies and deceit, and each genre should have its own independent reference standard.
Commercial films are often more able to consider a director's ability to control the overall situation and express the story, and in the process of shooting, many problems will be encountered that ordinary feature films will not encounter, how to successfully solve these problems, and how technicians develop new technologies in order to shoot more realistic pictures, will bring vitality to the film industry.
Movies like "The Avengers" are born for fans, and without the fans' love for superheroes themselves over the years, there would be no "Avengers" today.
It is the best of its kind in all aspects, bringing not only laughter, tears, cuteness, and ignition to the audience, but also living up to all the expectations of fans in the past two or three years.
The plot of the film is not complicated, but the characters are portrayed as flesh and blood.
The most successful of the heroes is Bruce Banner, who has changed his bitterness and hatred to a frank and funny one, which is very shocking and creates a lot of jokes after becoming a Hulk.
Hulk's interaction with the others is also very much in line with the tone of the film, and there is a plot design where it is directly laughing.
Iron Man's personality is more flamboyant than in the previous two solo movies, and he talks a little more, and he says a lot of things that make the otaku reminisce for months.
Although he went a little too far when he hurt others, he could still see that he was unforgiving in his mouth, but his heart was very soft.
The iron man scene is also given enough and plays a very key role.
The captain has always been the soul of the Avengers, and this time he is also portrayed very much in line with this characteristic, thoughtful, well-planned, although in terms of combat effectiveness is not as good as several other teammates, but without him, the Avengers may still be a mess.
And Thor, at first glance, has few scenes, and the characters are also designed to be much more silent than in "Thor", and most of the rivalry scenes with lines are with his brother Loki, and the interaction with the Avengers members is mostly fighting.
But after watching it for the second time, you will find that some new details are worth pondering, and the scenes are not as few as they felt before.
Thor's personality has changed a lot compared to "Thor", he is no longer arrogant and complacent, and he is more rational, but his pride as an Asgardian is still there.
Just as before, Thor still believes in the bright side of others, so there is a glimmer of hope in his heart that Loki will turn his mind away from the darkness.
He knows more about Earth than Loki, and he blames himself for the harm the Asgardians have done to humanity, and he has grown up more than he used to be.
Regarding the relationship between Black Widow and Hawkeye, the film handles it very reliably, and this relationship is not only closely related to the development of the story, but also indirectly prompts the two to join the Avengers later.
The rivalry between the various characters is overflowing with laughter this time, and Iron Man deserves to be the god of complaining; Hulk is unexpectedly cute to everyone, and he has a small belly and black attributes; the captain maintains his old fashion, but this kind of old antique will inevitably make jokes in modern times; Brother Hammer says the truth with a serious face, and then everyone pounds the ground.
The film also has a worrying detective.
Few people can resist this cute and respectable agent who is sturdy, serious, meticulous, funny, and homely.
Who would have thought that such an agent would hide such a brainless heart behind his cold, harmless calm smile?
Who would have thought that this detective, who has been exposed to high-tech all day long, has a nostalgic heart?
The director knows the dreams of fans and otaku very well.
When he threw the bloody stack of trading cards in front of the captain, tears fell from the eyes of many spectators.
Although it is 2 hours and 23 minutes long, the whole film has a tight plot, and every minute is closely related to the story, without wasting a little space.
