Chapter 62: Fun [Asking for a Monthly Pass!Second Update]
Sega North America investigated the anomaly of Metroid's hot sales, only to find out that it turned out to be a moth for fans of B-movie movies.
Although the meaning of B-grade films is the meaning of short production time and low investment capital. But it doesn't mean that B-grade movies are entertainment for "losers".
Although most of the viewers who pay attention to B-grade movies are a little weird, there are still many fans in this subculture circle.
Even some big directors are loyal fans of B-grade films.
However, unlike ordinary movie fans, the reason why these big directors like to watch B-movies is because they treat B-movies as a low-cost creative factory.
You know, the film itself is a capital-intensive industrial activity.
Even if a person is talented, it is unlikely that he can make a movie that is widely loved by the audience with just himself and a small venue.
A good movie, in addition to having an excellent plot, also has exciting scenes many times. In addition to these, the selection of materials is also very important.
For big directors, it is very difficult to choose a good theme and find a good script.
Although screenwriters can be mass-produced from schools like an assembly line, just like the top industrial products, the top scripts are also hard to find, and they cannot be written by any screenwriter produced by an industrial assembly line.
In the B-grade film market, although there are frequent bad works, there are also some ghosts.
And the works of these ghosts and ghosts have become the targets of great directors many times.
Of course, the priority of ghost talent works is higher than that of ghost talents.
Because many creators can produce excellent and praiseworthy works in their lifetime, there is only one such one.
While the movie "Golden River Warrior" has attracted widespread attention among fans, it has also entered the eyes of many big directors.
The Cold War is not over, and Star Wars is not over. The American people's dreams of space are not over.
Since the moon landing, many Americans have had the dream of immigrating to the alien planet in their hearts.
Based on this imagination, there are science fiction series of film works about space, which are also endless, among which the inferior ones can also keep their capital, and the excellent ones can feed a large number of people.
For example, Lucas's large-scale space-background martial arts drama "Star Wars" is such a movie that Lucas can eat for a lifetime.
George Lucas, who lives in California for many years, is a bit unimpressed by the recent popularity of video game consoles for home games.
Because, for people of their generation, people don't like video games very much when they reach middle age. And the Atari of previous years is still vivid. When people are older and have more life experience, they will have more eyes than young people.
However, although he is a little uninterested in home video game consoles, he has some liking for the popular game consoles that can be carried in the palm of his hand and carried in his pocket.
Because, such a small game console can be played wherever you go, not only that, but the main "Tetris" above is also a decompression weapon.
You must know that for so many years since filming "Star Wars", he has been under a lot of pressure. Because, for him, "Star Wars" means the pinnacle of his life, and it is very difficult to break through this peak and reach the next peak.
In addition to using the mini-game "Tetris" to decompress, he also has many ways to decompress, such as watching B-grade movies.
Although B-grade films have low investment and are sometimes embarrassing to watch, they often represent the purest time for a creator who has not been eroded by capital on a large scale. This is true even for works that are clearly followers.
It is impossible for a movie to be made alone, and if you accept someone else's investment, you have to accept the pressure (harmony) of others.
It's like if you want imperialism, you get the whole of imperialism.
Ordinary people will only see the first half of the sentence "external aggression", and while feeling cool, they often ignore the second half of the sentence "internal oppression".
To accept the investment of the capitalists is to accept everything from the capitalists.
Cinema is an art of compromise.
It is an art of dancing in shackles, and how to make the best effect within limited conditions is what every filmmaker strives to do.
Although when it comes to making the film, Lucas has to make a lot of compromises because of the cost. But when it comes to movies, he doesn't have to huddle with workers who smell of sweat and aren't as tired as their best human companions to watch cheap B-movies.
He has his own screening room, which is a particularly soundproofed room. The thickness of the soundproof sponge is up to half a meter.
The screen and projector are the best screens and projectors, and the sound is hand-tuned by the tuners who can be called golden ears. Only by sitting in the middle of the room can you reap the excellent sound quality accurate to every resistor.
Of course, he uses wind power, because he likes the feeling of the wind being free and ethereal.
Sitting alone, watching a movie in a room so quiet that you can even hear your own blood vessels pulsating, as if abandoned by the whole world, really feels different from other places.
Although, such a high-profile B-grade film is a bit wasteful when recording sound, but Lucas likes it, he likes it, he likes it, and no one can stop him.
On this day, the wind and sun outside the house were beautiful.
The supple wind glows with supple electricity, and it sounds like a good weather for watching a movie.
Walking into the room covered with soundproof cotton, the staff outside changed the tape, flipped the switch, and the new B-grade film "Golden River Warrior" began to play.
The loud sound effects may be negligible elsewhere, but here they are unusually harsh.
The treble is not sweet, the bass is unstable, in short, the sound can only be described in four words, that is, messy.
However, Lucas forgot about these, because the setting of this film made his eyes shine.
This bright color is enough to make up for the harshness of the movie's sound and the garbage of acting, which can make Lucas watch this movie and make up another A-grade movie in his mind.
That's it!
I'm going to shoot it!
After watching the movie, Lucas got up from his chair.
Immediately walk out of the screening room and ask the assistant to contact the production team of this "Golden River Warrior", and he wants to talk to them.
"What? You're based on Metroid, the maker who made Tetris?" Lucas's tone of shock at first, then his face turned playful.
