Chapter 390: Kneeling and licking all the way
Today's work ended smoothly, because everyone played well, and the progress was much faster than expected, which made Warner investors very satisfied.
Looking at himself in the mirror, he changed the image of Arthur as a blonde hunk in the comics, and completely embarked on the road of no return to a rough man.
Raunchy, a little sloppy, never wears clothes, his eyes are full of wildness, he solves problems with his fists when he disagrees, and he does not speculate......
The others are also very dedicated, not to mention Nicole Kidman, who plays Queen Atlanta, who is over fifty years old and can still perform girly feeling is also drunk.
The heroine Mera is similar to herself, basically in a wet state, with a tight-fitting jumpsuit wrapped in delicate lines, and matched with a flaming red hair, like a fire, which makes people feel what is called ......
Fire and ice!
After a month of filming, to tell the truth, there are still many problems in the plot of Aquaman, some logic cannot be self-consistent, and some of the vicarious contracts are also a little blunt, which is a common problem of many similar commercial blockbusters.
However, through the control of the rhythm and the accumulation of action scenes, the director has reduced the corresponding negative impact a lot, and even before the audience feels impatient and frowns, he can divert attention in advance.
Instead, there are a large number of novel and exciting bridges and scenes: claustrophobic submarines beating pirates, undersea palaces chasing and fleeing, barren desert exploration and treasure hunting, Italian towns are extinct, thrilling trenches are fighting for the road, the first king's throne is angrily robbing the scepter, the deep-sea national war you come and go, and the sea duel is Wuding......
Cramming many popular elements and genre strengths into key nodes makes people can't stop.
The story itself is not very novel, and the logical motivations of the characters are basically expected. In a story system with a relatively narrow space for display, it can bloom such amazing power, largely thanks to the whimsy of Wen Ziren, who is at the helm.
In fact, it is obvious that his operation does not focus on the story, but on how to tell the story wonderfully.
Fortunately, he is a very good storyteller, otherwise he would not have become the father of horror films, and he knows very well how to mobilize the audience's adrenaline, and under his carefully designed various horror explosions, the audience can easily reach an emotional climax.
It's the same here, when heroes should fight, when they should be lonely, when should they pose, when should they kiss, when should they tease, they have reached the state of perfection.
Although it is impregnated by Western culture, after all, there is still Oriental blood in his bones, especially in universities, which are also specialized in the division of Chinese nationalities. This work can feel a lot of oriental charm, especially the relationship between the characters.
For example, the missing mother, the disobedient brother, the loyal master, and the chic partner, this is actually not an exaggeration to put it in the classical chivalrous story, and the audience in Southeast Asia is very familiar with such stories, and it is very intimate to taste it carefully, which is Wen Ziren's cleverness.
By skillfully connecting the commonalities in the viewing tastes of Eastern and Western audiences, and eliminating the similarities and differences, the final result is a work that will be loved by audiences around the world.
Changing the depressed style of DC before, coupled with fully listening to his own action design, I have to say that Wen Ziren is really a smart person!
Forcibly turning a power-seeking film into a hot-blooded adventure film, the audience can follow in the footsteps of Aquaman and Mera to the sky and into the underground sea, and even arrange the Sahara Desert and Italian towns, which are completely untouched by the ocean, but not only not abrupt, but increase complexity and excitement, absolutely fantastic.
Thinking back to the role he played, although he had played various heroes before, it was the first time he had played a superpower hero, and Aquaman was different from many other heroes in that he did not averse to killing, and even had some thirst for blood.
Strictly speaking, such a character is difficult to like, and can only be adapted to a certain extent, weakening his cruelty and highlighting his inferiority complex.
The whole work looks like a battle for the throne on the surface, but it is actually the growth history of Arthur's victory over inferiority, and obtaining the trident is an extremely important turning point in his character.
A generation of Jiekong has royal status and dragon slaying skills, but he is limited to the psychology of inferiority and senseless uninhibitedness, the starting point is very high, but the landing point is very low.
Compared with the bitter, cautious, stereotypical and innocent hero templates of the previous few in DC, it is undoubtedly much kinder.
When you fearlessly say to the guardian beast: I am just a nobody, and I got the trident not for the throne and myself, but for peace!
The character has been transformed, no longer confined to personal paranoia, but can really face challenges bravely, and the audience may show a relieved aunt smile when they see the growth of the protagonist, especially when they are shocked by Nanami at the end.
In this experience of being forced to grow up, there has never been a high shelf or heavy ideological baggage, which also means that the distance between him and the audience has not been widened, coupled with the reckless and straightforward and somewhat unstingy character, a likable Aquaman is vividly remembered.
It seems that a talented person was coaxed by his colleagues to perform on stage, and at first he modestly excused himself two sentences, but he still went on stage at the instigation of others, neither humble nor arrogant, and won a full house.
In his own eyes, in addition to Wen Ziren's strength, as a personal superhero movie with a male protagonist, almost all the key plots of the work are driven by female characters, which is eye-catching.
Mother and Princess Mera, whether they are beginning to come into contact with Atlantean culture, deciding to organize a war on land and sea, or finally going to find the Trident, Arthur is more in a state of passive acceptance.
It is actually the two female characters who really determine the direction of the plot and the fate of the characters, and their control over their own destiny is obviously far beyond the scope of traditional superhero movies.
Nicole Kidman's queen flees to land because she doesn't want to succumb to a political marriage, and ends up returning to the bottom of the ocean to protect her husband and son.
And Princess Mera, played by Ambo, takes the initiative to find Arthur, hoping to stop the war between land and sea. It was also she who took the initiative to betray the marriage contract, save Arthur, who almost died at the hands of her brother, and propose a solution.
According to Wen Ziren's words:
Now women's rights are so awesome,
Can you not kneel and lick it?
Ding Cheng sighed, the more he thought about it, the more he found Wen Ziren's chicken thief, all kinds of menus and various stalks flying, and kneeling to lick the Chinese market and feminism, it was shameless!
There is no big reason along the way,
I don't talk about bullshit chicken soup for the soul,
If you don't agree with each other, you do it,
Fear the heavens and the sea,
All kinds of gorgeous special effects,
What a bullshit story plot,
It's cool!
