The director of "League of Assassins", Timo Bekmmanbetov, had already provoked the banner of commercial cinema in New Russia with "The Day Watch" and "The Night Watch". It just so happened that the Columbia Pictures producers, who had been struggling to find the author of the new film "League of Assassins", got Timol Bekmantov's information, and in this way, the Russians naturally "obtained" "Wanted" (League of Assassins also known as "Wanted").

However, this "foreigner" who is new to Hollywood has really received the same "hospitality" as many foreigners. It is said that according to the results of Timol Beckmanbetov's "The Day Watcher", which had a box office return of nearly 1:15, the production MM company only prepared a budget of only 68 million US dollars for the crew, but asked the Russians to shoot "Spider-Man 3".

However, Beckman Betov is obedient to any harsh difficulties, and knows how to save costs, and his personal salary is said to be pitiful, only enough to make ends meet.

"League of Assassins" has become the most exciting and sensational movie in Beimi's summer, although he is not as sensational as those works that exceed 100 million yuan, but in the eyes of those fans and fans who are deeply interested in it, it is not inferior to those super big productions.

"League of Assassins" has an old-fashioned but effective narrative foundation, the story is a typical Hollywood "mediocre boy involved in a shocking conspiracy" style, the reason why such a design is used again and again, and the reason why it is analyzed is because the big event itself is attractive, and the small people can make the audience have a strong sense of identity.

The structure of League of Assassins is also relatively conservative, with a linear narrative and a strict end-to-end response, so simple that the audience can understand it at first glance. But if you only have the above, you have only laid a solid but somewhat bland foundation. Where "League of Assassins" really shines and conquers the audience, it is still the extreme audio-visual language and the joyful emotional catharsis, and Beckmanbetov's grasp of the market is still very good.

With the evolution of the era of picture reading, the audience's mouth is becoming more and more awkward, and only the chef who constantly innovates can continue to survive, which is very simple. Not necessarily, but League of Assassins has found it, for example, after the Matrix, it further excavates the subject of "bullets". In "League of Assassins", the bullet can not only assemble itself in the air, but also make an arc, and even form a circular trajectory to penetrate the N people standing in the room, and realize the imagination that gun fans have since childhood, blocking each other. In addition, there are many impressive and wonderful passages in the film

Wesley's fake dad appears in a scene where he catapults himself like a bullet and rushes across the building at breakneck speed. Three details are highlighted in the shot, one is that the fake father pedaled the elevator hall with his feet during the run, and as a result, a pit was kicked out, which shows the fierceness of the force. The second is that after the heart beats faster, time slows down, the movement of the people around is relatively static, and only the fake father runs alone. The third is that everywhere he goes, like a tornado, the official paper is flying everywhere. This makes the invisible wind tangible and renders a very strong speed experience.

The film also makes a very detailed portrayal on the "briefcase", the fake father is running in the corridor, sucking up a string of official paper behind him—the papers in an office next to him are flying, and the woman almost falls—the back of running, the flying paper is the foreground, the middle of the running, the flying paper is the background, the action accelerates, the paper in the sky and the person looking sideways are the foreground, the fake father runs in the background, the camera is tilted—the paper flies, and the background is the dead woman (indicating that the fake father has run into the house)—breaking the glass and rushing out of the building.

If "speed" is at least a running action, then the pressure is purely an inner feeling, how to externalize the inner feeling? Wesley's high-pressure mental state in "League of Assassins" is handled like this: the picture twitches a slow jump (simulating a heartbeat), and the heartbeat is used as a background sound, and the sound and dialogue are slowed down.

In the first high-pressure paragraph, Wesley was urged to submit a report by his boss Jennifer, for example, first Wesley's voice appeared on the computer screen, "Why are you here?" and then Jennifer's stapler and Wesley's own heartbeat were amplified by the speed change, and the painting grid was full of close-ups of Jennifer's exaggerated shaking facial muscles after the speed change. At this time, Wesley's inner loss of control has been fully externalized, and the director also inserts his "good friend's" inexplicable laughter to highlight the difference between Wesley's mental state and normal people.

The train passage is particularly impressive, in this scene, where the previous foreshadowing conflict reaches its strongest, and Wesley finally goes head-to-head with the "father killer", and then the screenwriter comes up with a big reversal, so that Wesley finds out that he killed his own father. The crisis scenario of the train falling, the realism created by the realistic details, the sudden crash of the train into a deep ravine after Wesley fired the fatal shot... All of them create a good external environment for the internal dramatic conflict of this scene, and help the whole film reach the plot and emotional climax in the visual stimulation.

Bertoman Betov handled emotional catharsis well, and also grasped the common emotional characteristics of people in this era (too much pressure, too little achievement, boring life, lost oneself, etc.), and helped high-pressure people vent their inner depression.

The film uses two aspects of emotional catharsis, on the one hand, the violent aesthetics created by the audiovisual language, represented by the black humor of his "good friend's" front teeth and a series of neat "headshots". On the other hand, the film has a consistent theme that incites rebellion: finding oneself.

Wesley is a little white-collar worker with heroic superpowers and does what heroes do, but he doesn't have the ambition of a hero in the classic context (saving the world or something), his motivation is to find himself (visualizing such an abstract thing as "finding himself" through Google search, which can be seen in the film's visual efforts).

At the end of the story, Wesley has a monologue:

The one who is content with the fate of mediocrity is not me

It's not me who follows my father's footsteps

I'm not the one who saves the world

……

Take my life from Sloan, from the League of Assassins, from Jennifer... Take it back there (bullets fall through people and objects involved)

This is me who has regained control of my life

What the are you doing?

The last sentence of the whole film, "mourn its misfortune and fight hard" is a direct insult to the audience, in fact, it is to inspire you to find yourself, listen to the blood of each scolded person, and correspond to the pursuit shown by the protagonist, the theme of the film is no longer the hero saves the world, justice will defeat evil, etc., but calls for every extraordinary soul in the mediocre body to be able to live bravely to live itself.

This is a movie with cool points and themes, all kinds of elements are possessed, and it was released after two weeks of hunger and thirst in the market, a big hit is inevitable, and it also won more than 48 million in the second week, and successfully won the championship, its total box office in North America reached 120 million, and it was released in many overseas regions, which is about the same number, and it was released in 13 days, and the world won 240 million, which is quite good.

And Mark's masterpiece "The Dark Knight" has also broken through the estimated 550 million US dollars estimated by Warner Bros. and the media, and is attacking the 650 million of "Titanic", which is the first masterpiece with a box office infinitely close to 600 million in North America after 1998, plus the overseas part, the global successfully exceeded 1.1 billion, successfully surpassing 2003's "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King", North Korea is the first in the world and the second in film history.

And Mark's personal North North box office, nine movies, has also reached an astonishing 2.35 billion, the global is 4.2 billion, now ranked second, only after Spielberg, this has accumulated nearly 30 years of records, and Mark is a record in five years, there are three works that break through 300 million in North Milan alone, with an average of 261 million, and the great god, James Cameron's masterpiece of ten years of sharpening a sword will be released next year, which is estimated to re-affect the ranking, but at present, Mark is firmly in second place, the position of the second in 10,000 years, Mark is seated, he is not second, unhappy, six billion people in the world, the second placeIt's very good.

However, Mark politely rejected Warner's suggestion to celebrate the achievement, he thought that after breaking 600 million, he would have a celebration party, and now his share is fixed, and he will not give up the share like Cameron, and he will rely on the gift of the film company, in this "Dark Knight" battle, Mark will take 150 million dollars from Warner's account.

This income of more than 100 million, the income is not inferior to investing in the production of a billionaire masterpiece, many companies have invested hundreds of millions, and they have lost miserably, like Disney, three consecutive losses in the summer, in the strongman Katzenberg are all crying without tears, fortunately, this "Kung Fu Panda" made a lot of money, and the loss was the project left by the predecessor, which is not so embarrassing, this summer, there are many blockbuster huge losses, which makes countless people who want to squeeze into this circle deeply alarmed, this is a very risky industry, ten movies, at least half of them are losses, and even the six giants who are used to playing movies say that they will lose, let alone outsiders.

At 21 p.m. local time, the four giants of MM received an emergency call almost at the same time, they were all surprised, this call is rarely known, if it was not a big thing, they would not have called, and the four giants would not have a call at the same time, they picked up the phone at the same time.
