In the 80s, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Star Wars" came out, working together to create a new era of Hollywood commercial films, and officially brought the concept of summer files to the North American market, and then established Harrison Ford's important position as a giant in film history.

In 1989, "Raiders of the Lost Ark 3" was officially released, the series came to an end, and then fell silent for nearly two decades, and in 2008, "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4" produced and distributed by Paramount Pictures made a grand debut, which allowed the audience to once again enjoy the style of Indiana Jones on the big screen.

In the 90s, the "Jurassic Park" series became another box office expert, in 1993, the first part of the series won the annual box office championship in North America, followed by sequels in 1997 and 2001, but the box office and word of mouth were deteriorating, far from satisfactory, and finally ended hastily.

After a gap of 12 years, Universal Pictures has relaunched the franchise once again.

This is not unexpected.

After entering the second decade of the 21st century, the entire Hollywood and even the world's film industry is facing the dilemma of running out of original inspiration, and the quality of original scripts is showing a downward decline, from the Oscars to the summer season.

As a result, major film companies have focused on the adaptation of games, comics, dramas and other works of art. The success of teen adaptations, as well as the success of Marvel Comics adaptations, is slowly becoming the mainstream orientation of the market, with last year's "Edge of Tomorrow", "The Hunger Games", "Les Miserables" and so on being the most direct examples.

Then, when the adaptation resources also fell into the dilemma of too many monks and less porridge, the major film companies have set their sights on their own copyright libraries, classic remakes, classic reboots, classic continuations, etc., which have gradually begun to become the mainstream.

"Star Wars", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Spy", "Die Hard", "Mission Impossible" and other series have all appeared sequels after the end of the trilogy, and the "Spider-Man" series, "Fantastic Four" series, etc., continue to reboot endlessly.

"Carrie the Witch", "King Kong", "Ghostbusters", "Ocean's Eleven", "Young Dragon and Tiger", "Brave Game" and other works have been renovated and remade one after another, and even Pixar, which has always been famous for its originality, "Toy Story 4", "Incredibles 2" and so on have also been established one after another.

The most typical representative is the rise of Disney.

After 2012, Disney has re-emerged as the absolute hegemon of Hollywood!

On the one hand, because of the successful acquisition of Pixar, Marvel Studios and Lucasfilm, three long-term blockbuster series have been created, and on the other hand, because CEO Robert Iger has opened Disney's treasure, his own copyright library, and officially launched the live-action program of all cartoons, and the film adaptation resources are inexhaustible.

Among them, Universal Pictures is in an awkward position, because they are the least good at creating franchises in Hollywood.

The "Jurassic Park" series and the "Fast & Thrill" series are their only trump cards, and both series are examples of good hands that gradually reach a dead end, proving once again that Universal Pictures lacks a keen sense of smell for franchises.

Now, Ron Meyer has chosen to jump on the Hollywood bandwagon and relaunch the "Jurassic Park" series, which should be an expected choice.

In 2015, the last life, "Jurassic World" debuted, with rookie director Collin-Trevorro (Collin-Trevorro) at the helm, and Chris Pratt (Chris-Pratt), who became popular with "Guardians of the Galaxy", teamed up with Bryce Dallas, the daughter of great director Ron Howard.

Although the media reviews were mediocre, with a total score of 59 percent, a 71 percent Rotten Tomatoes index, and an average score of 6.7 percent for the mass media, the popcorn index of 78 percent and the theater score of "A" were eye-catching, and countless people with childhood memories once again entered the cinema and completely detonated the box office.

In the end, the North American box office was 650 million, the fourth in film history, and the global box office was 1.67 billion, the fourth in film history.

"Jurassic World" and "Star Wars: The Force Awakens", which detonated the box office at the end of the year, shined on the big screen throughout the year, and teamed up to refresh a series of historical records and write a brilliant book. This is not only a testament to the success of the strategy of continuing the classics, but also to the fact that retro sentiment is once again an important weapon in the market.

Needless to say, this is a successful work.

Personally, is this an excellent work? Apparently not.

As a rookie director, Colin Trevorjo only made a "safe and unguaranteed" film before this, winning the screenwriting award at the Sundance Film Festival in 2012, and that's all, but his rhythm control as a director is still far less than Steven Spielberg's sophisticated style, and the whole movie, the first half of the rhythm is too slow, and the second half is too crowded, which affects the perception, which is very fatal for commercial films.

In addition, the script also faced problems, the theme was too greedy, covering the greed of biological/chemical/weapon, the ambition of human beings to claim God, the importance of respecting life and family belonging, too complex and too trivial, all the flashes of light and light were brushed aside, so that all of them were not well told, and finally became a "Jurassic Park"-style monster film - but the rhythm control and high/high tide foreshadowing were not as good as Steven Spielberg.

Still, this doesn't stop Lan Li from liking this work in the slightest!

In addition to nostalgia and memories, the appearance of dinosaurs of all kinds is eye-opening, proving once again that cinema is still one of the best dream-making machines on earth, and that all the whimsical and dazzling thoughts and thoughts in the mind can evolve into reality through light and shadow, and that there are differences in culture and thought, but nostalgic childhood memories are the same all over the world.

If Lan Li can get the opportunity to star in "Jurassic World", it can be called a dream come true!

It has nothing to do with the quality of the work, nor does it have anything to do with the box office of the movie, it is just related to childlike innocence, dreams, memories, and feelings.

The most important meaning is that I can be in the Jurassic Park built by Steven Spielberg, become a part of the dream, become a part of the fantasy, and become a part of the memory, which should be the dream of every child when watching "Jurassic Park" or "Raiders of the Lost Ark" or "Star Wars" in childhood.

Sometimes there are things that don't make sense in the first place.

But, it's just an assumption, if Lan Li proposes a revision for "Jurassic World", then he is willing to agree with the idea that Steven told before-

Refuse to be greedy and chew too much.

The story should be concentrated on a main line, out of the thinking framework of monster disaster movies, and more on the core idea of the interdependence of humans and nature, if human beings try to become creators, control all threats, and then rule the world, then such ambitions will often become the beginning of destruction, dinosaurs are not the source of disasters, human ambitions are.

Then, around the main line, spend more pen and ink to tell the story and outline the characters, treat the dinosaur as a character in the story, cut the cumbersome details, and make the main line more compact and solid, then the overall quality and viewing experience of the movie will be fully improved.

The most typical representative of success is Chris Pratt's career turning point before taking over the filming of "Jurassic World", "Guardians of the Galaxy".

The popcorn work with a weak plot and a simple story patiently spent a lot of details to outline the characters, created the images of the five members of the escort team, used the characters to promote the development of the plot, quickly advanced around the main line, created a high/tide/overlapping viewing effect, and spent time on the foreshadowing of laughter and easter eggs, which instantly detonated all word-of-mouth -

The media scored 76 points, with a Rotten Tomatoes index of 91 percent, a popcorn index of 92 percent, and a theater score of "A".

All the reviews were popular across the board, easily breaking up the "Jurassic World", and the box office also performed well, with 330 million in North America and 770 million worldwide, becoming the most successful masterpiece of the first superhero movie in recent years.

In other words, in general monster movies, in order to satisfy the audience's curiosity, monsters always become the protagonists, but monsters cannot show psychology and changes, and are often the objects of destruction, which also makes it difficult for series movies to get out of the trap on top of the creation of sequels, and fall into a similar pattern of dead loops.

But if you can make monsters a part of the story, and focus more on returning to humans, then the quality of the work will be completely transformed. "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is the most typical representative.

Of course, this is a paradox. If it's too deep, or if there are no monsters, then the box office may not be good, and in order to pursue the box office, humans must be reduced to supporting roles in monster movies.

Lan Li and Steven's considerations are easy to talk about on paper, but difficult to operate in practice. It's not without reason why the screenwriter's job is so tough.

Putting all this aside for the time being, as an audience, Lan Li personally still likes the work "Jurassic World" very much, and as an actor, after the perspective and attitude change, Lan Li is also willing to look at his childhood dreams, enter an imaginary world, and try to become a hero who saves the world, which should be very interesting.

But Lan Li is not a rookie either, he shows a shallow smile, "For me, this is a rare opportunity, but I'm not sure, for Ron Meyer, this is a good proposal." ”

Such a candid way of answering succeeded in making Steven chuckle and chuckle, "At least, we've reached a consensus on the first step." The next thing we can discuss slowly. ”

Steven didn't deny it head-on.

The subtext is that Ron Meyer is indeed repulsive about Lan Li's joining.
