Chapter Ninety-One: Movie Imagination
Xiao Man sat on Yin Xiu's shoulder, grabbed his glasses with two small paws and put them in front of him, staring at the big screen in front of him without blinking.
Although it can't understand English, it can't read the subtitles on it.
However, the first time to experience such a 3D effect, Xiao Man was still very excited, his big fluffy tail shook from time to time, and he couldn't help but turn his head and yell at Yin Xiu, and stretched out a small paw to point at the screen in front of him, as if he was saying something to Yin Xiu.
The voice was not loud, but Xiaoman's cry still attracted the attention of several people next to him. Hearing this strange cry, I couldn't help but look sideways.
Fortunately, it was dark in the theater at this time, and it was not clear to see, Yin Xiu hurriedly 'shhh
Xiaoman obediently didn't scream again, and continued to turn his head to watch the movie.
Yin Xiu himself will also pay attention to putting it back on the screen......
Ji Xueqing and Jiang Shanshan each held a bucket of popcorn and stuffed one into their mouths from time to time, their eyes always staring at the screen.
After more than two hours, the film finally ended.
After the end of the film, without waiting for the lights in the theater to turn on, Yin Xiu let Xiaoman get into his pants pocket, saving him from waiting and causing onlookers......
"Whew, it's over, let's go......" As the lights in the theater turned on, Jiang Shanshan stood up.
Most of the people in the theater also stood up one after another, and there was a whispered discussion, basically discussing the content of the film they had just watched.
Yin Xiu listened to it roughly, and it seemed that most people were very satisfied with the movie just now.
After a while, Yin Xiu, Ji Xueqing, and Jiang Shanshan left the theater together and walked out of the theater. After returning the 3D glasses to the staff at the door and asking for the twenty yuan deposit, the three of them left the studio.
It was already early six o'clock, but it was still early in the summer, and the sun had not yet set.
"Yin Xiu, what do you think of that movie just now? The 3D effect feels good, right? Jiang Shanshan asked.
Yin Xiu smiled and nodded, "Well, it's okay." The 3D effect really makes people feel a sense of realism, and the picture is also very fine and beautiful. But the plot is a little weaker, it's very simple and old-fashioned. ”
"yes." Jiang Shanshan grinned and said: "This kind of Hollywood blockbuster itself mainly looks at special effects, and the plot has always been the 'weakness' of Hollywood commercial films. ”
"yes, yes. Now this kind of commercial film is the mainstream of the film market, and if the plot is too complicated, the audience may not buy it. Most of the movies that everyone watches are just for fun and leisure, and commercial films like this that can be seen without spending too much brain thinking are easy for the audience to accept. ”
Ji Xueqing said.
"Well, that's right." Yin Xiu nodded, "Watching a movie in the theater, if the plot is too complicated, it will make the audience feel that it is difficult." It's really unpleasant. ”
"yes, that's the truth. So now simple and direct commercial films in theaters are the mainstream. Ji Xueqing responded.
Yin Xiudao: "It seems that it is not for nothing that Hollywood commercial films are popular in China. They have really grasped the essence of the market, and the special effects are really powerful. But ......"
"But what?"
Yin Xiu smiled and said, "I just feel that the combat power of those so-called superheroes in it is too weak." ”
"Do you think those superheroes in the movie just now are still weak?" Jiang Shanshan looked at Yin Xiu in surprise.
"Hmm." Yin Xiu nodded and said, "It does feel quite weak." Those superheroes who are just 'transformed' by ordinary people don't matter, what kind of thunder god is, since it is the so-called Protoss, and it is also the top existence in the Protoss, the combat effectiveness shown in the film is indeed too weak. ”
Yin Xiu really thinks so. If the top powerhouse in the Protoss only has the combat power shown in the film, in Yin Xiu's opinion, it is indeed weak.
Of course, after all, a movie is just a movie, and it can't be measured by the concept of his power as a cultivator.
"That's true. That Thor does feel a bit problematic in terms of power setting, and it should be deliberately weakened to a level that is only similar to other superheroes for the sake of the plot. Jiang Shanshan said. At this point, she quite agreed with Yin Xiu's words.
Ji Xueqing said: "Isn't this kind of Hollywood's superhero series of movies like this, if you study it carefully, many plots and character designs may not stand up to scrutiny." Audiences won't focus on these aspects either, so even if the movie itself has a lot of flaws, it can still be a big hit around the world. ”
"That's where Hollywood commercial films are great. Not only in the English-speaking region, but also in other non-English-speaking regions, such as our Huaxia, can also be popular. Speaking of which, although the box office of our China has continued to rise sharply in recent years, nearly half of the box office has been absorbed by foreign Hollywood movies. ”
Jiang Shanshan said with a slight sigh.
"Yes, our Chinese movies can only rely on some comedies, action movies and the like to support the scenes, but it is difficult to have a big-scale special effects movie that sells well." Ji Xueqing couldn't help but sigh.
This is the status quo of Chinese films.
As half of the showbiz person, Jiang Shanshan felt more deeply about this, "This can't be helped, the current situation of our Chinese film industry is like this." Even if there are occasional so-called big investments and big productions, in fact, most of the investment is spent on those movie stars. ”
"Even if there is an investment of 100 million, of which most of the salary for the participating stars is spent, and there is still 30 or 50 million left, what kind of top-level special effects can be made? What's more, this is only a Chinese currency, which cannot be compared with the value of the US dollar, and the difference can be imagined. It's no wonder that Chinese film and television dramas are always complained about 'Wumao special effects'......"
"Alas, I really hope that one day our own movies in China will be comparable to these commercial productions in Hollywood." Ji Xueqing said with emotion.
After decades of development, although Huaxia is improving rapidly in all aspects, the gap with the Western world in many fields is still obvious, including film and television.
"Our Huaxia's special effects production capabilities should not be much inferior to Hollywood, right?" Yin Xiudao.
Jiang Shanshan nodded, "If you are willing to spend a lot of money to do special effects seriously, it will indeed not be too inferior to Hollywood." But the key is that there are very few people who are willing to spend so much money on special effects. ”
"If special effects occupy too much investment, then the amount of remuneration left for the actors will naturally be reduced a lot, so that there are no superstars with top appeal to join. Now there are movie stars with good box office appeal, which ones are not worth tens of millions. ”
"Otherwise, when our company develops and the funds are abundant, we can find someone to invest in and shoot a special effects production that belongs to our Huaxia. When the time comes, we'll spend all the money we need to spend on special effects, and as for the actors, just find some powerful people with enough acting skills......"
Yin Xiu said half-jokingly.
Jiang Shanshan said: "What about the box office?" Without big names to join, the box office of the movie is worrying. ”
Yin Xiu shrugged and said, "It depends on the investor's idea." Anyway, in my opinion, you don't have to care so much about the box office or anything, in a word, it's just such a feeling. As for whether the audience will buy it or not, there is no need to worry too much. As long as you work hard to make a commendable work, it's a loss. ”
Yin Xiu doesn't care about money at all, even if he really invests in making movies in the future and makes money and loses money, he won't take it to heart.
Of course, this is just what he said, as for whether he really wants to make a movie in the future, only God knows.
Jiang Shanshan giggled and said, "Then I can wait for the two of you companies to develop as soon as possible, and if you really shoot a big production at that time, as an investor, you have to leave me a role!" ”
Ji Xueqing couldn't help but giggle when she heard this, and said, "Okay, if our company can really develop, we will definitely invest in a big-budget movie at that time." The heroine of the movie will be handed over to you, so you have to improve your acting skills, but don't be criticized for not being good at acting skills, giggle......"
――――
I went to see the return of the great sage.,The 3D effect is still quite good.,It's just shorter.,The plot is a little weak~.
