The plot of the movie should be loose and loose like a bow and arrow, and it can't always be in a state, too Zhang is easy to make people tired, and too fast will make people boring, so an excellent director is like a sharpshooter, who knows how to distribute the plot to be relaxed.

After the special effects of the big scene are shown, the film then uses narrative montage to relax the audience's nerves, explaining how humans confront aliens and introducing the main actors in them.

A president who values his family, a soldier who talks a lot, a scientist who is green and environmentally friendly, and a pilot who uses alcohol to kill his sorrows...... These characters silently convey family, love, friendship, and mainstream values such as unity, bravery, and loyalty to the audience.

The selling point of commercial films is special effects, and various large-scale scenes, but the core ideas must follow the mainstream, although these things are cliché, but they are indeed the universal values of the entire human race, and if they deviate from these, they will also deviate from the audience.

After introducing the main characters one by one, the first war between aliens and humans also began, and resistance is a theme that will never be missing in human history, whether it is oppression or invasion, heroic people will always write a brilliant chapter with blood.

At the end of the war, New York, Los Angeles, Washington, Paris, Egypt, London, and the Pacific Ocean were filled with gunsmoke, blood stained the earth, warships sank, buildings collapsed, the surviving people turned their backs from the cities and headed for the wilderness, and humanity lost the first invasion war against aliens.

The audience in the theater was silent, looking at the city in ruins, and they felt sad that humanity would be united like never before in the face of disaster, even if different races and countries usually have conflicting interests.

Some people call this kind of behavior group behavior, in the ancient times of the wilderness, human beings in order to continue the race to resist the danger of becoming a social animal, forming a psychological mechanism of group identity, so when the disaster comes, discrimination, prejudice will be weakened or even disappeared, and the individual's sense of identity with the group will be improved, thus showing more group behavior.

To put it simply, this is the mental behavior of human beings to evolve automatically in order to continue the race, and it is passed down from generation to generation along with the genes.

And for John, this kind of behavior is a good kind of pushing, using the herd behavior in human genes to unite the audience on a single front, while also suppressing the audience's emotions at a low point.

Some people say that if you want to knock out your opponent, you must first withdraw your fist. Similarly, if you want to mobilize the emotions of the audience and make everyone happy, you must first suppress the audience's emotions at a low point, and the lower the pressure, the higher the rebound, just like basketball.

After a failed experience, humanity finally found a way to defeat the aliens, and on Independence Day, the president stood outside Area 51 and delivered a speech with American characteristics, in which he made a naked attempt to turn July 4 into a holiday for the whole world.

John also doesn't like this either, but "Independence Day" is a commercial film, a commercial film with a total investment of more than $140 million, so it is natural to pursue profits to please the audience, and North America, as the world's largest box office, John naturally has to please this group of people first.

After a bloody speech, the rebellion begins, the global human race unites and declares war on the aliens, when the protagonist smashes the mothership with a nuclear bomb, and the pilot who uses alcohol to kill his sorrows rushes to the alien spaceship with a fighter plane, the audience's long-suppressed emotions explode at this moment.

"Good fight!"

"Destroy these bitches!"

Michael Bay listened to the voices of the same enemy in the theater, frowned slightly, and turned his head to look at John, who was sitting not far away, he was very convinced by John's method of mobilizing the emotions of the audience, at least he couldn't do it.

The end of the final war of the film, the victory of mankind, the return of heroes, and the company of beauties, such a bloody ending has always endured and is very marketable in Hollywood. The reason for this is because it is in line with people's values, good people should be rewarded, and bad people should be punished.

At the end of the film, the theater was drowning in applause and screams, and John got up with a smile on his face and sorted out his costumes, and then took the actors and main production members to the stage for a curtain call.

"Demon Guide!"

"Will!"

The audience in the audience shouted their favorite actors, expressing their excitement at the moment, and John also heard his name, which surprised him, because the director was not as popular as the actors.

The applause and cheers continued for five minutes, and the audience in the theater did not leave the theater one after another until their hands were hurt and their voices were hoarse, and their peers did not leave, they waited to congratulate John.

"Congratulations to Director Chris Deng! You've made another really good film. ”

"Thank you!"

To all the congratulatory words, John's uniform response was a smile and a thank you.

"Director Chris Deng hopes that we will have the opportunity to work together in the future. ”

"Of course, Disney Studios has always been a company I've really liked, and I'm looking forward to working with them as long as there's a schedule. ”

For the company he wants to work with, John's reply is also a smile and a promise, of course, the premise of the promise is that there must be a schedule, but his schedule has been scheduled for 20 years, and it is estimated that he has little time to make films in other film companies.

After receiving the congratulations of his peers, John handed over some of the follow-up finishing work to the people below, and returned to Purple Star Manor with Devon Morgan and Nancy, and the premiere of "Independence Day" ended with applause and cheers.

However, with the end of the premiere, the midnight show has officially kicked off, 2012 theaters in North America, 2555 screens officially began to sell tickets, countless young people walked out of their homes to the nearest theater, of course, due to the scheduling of films, many people live in cities without midnight screening, but this is only temporary, tomorrow there will be 4612 theaters, 5010 screens at the same time "Independence Day", which is the largest number of openings in North America so far.

Of course, the reason for such a high film is not only John's status in Hollywood and past box office results, but also that Wayne Stillman is using practical actions to prove her and John's collaboratorship.

The rental company was set up last month, and John named the rental company an alpaca with a more pleasant animal, and drew a cartoon alpaca himself to serve as the company's logo.

This rental disc company, which relies on cinemas and the Internet, quickly became the darling of the rental disc market as soon as it was established due to the high coverage rate of fast and convenient movie copyrights, registering 150,000 members and renting out 280,000 discs in just one month, successfully entering the North American rental disc market.
