"It's hilarious to make a superhero movie dark and heavy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

In the front row of the lobby of the State Theater of New York, Stan Lee still had a disdainful smile on his face and said to Kevin Feige, who came with him, "Did he think he was making a crime documentary?" ”

Kevin Feige just smiled, Marvel Pictures has formulated a light-hearted and hilarious route for its superhero films, biased towards juvenile, which is a relatively easy commercial film model to succeed, although he has some doubts about the dark route chosen by DC Comics, but he knows what genre Murphy Stanton is best at, as long as the other party can blend Superman with the style he is good at, it is difficult to say that "Man of Steel" will not succeed.

And judging from the response to the test screening, it seems that the evaluation of this film in all aspects is quite good, even if there is a lot of Warner Bros. doped water, but the proportion of negative reviews is so low, it always says something.

Even if he hasn't seen "Man of Steel" yet, Kevin Feige feels that the superhero movie may face extremely fierce competition in the future, and the Avengers without X-Men and Spider-Man may not be able to beat the Justice League with a full lineup.

"What is Spider-Man?"

In the back row of the audience, a young boy excitedly said to his companions, "You didn't go to the test screening of "Man of Steel", not to mention anything else, just the action scenes, kill all superhero movies in seconds." ”

The other boy next to him didn't believe it and pouted, "Doug, you just blow it!" ”

More and more people entered the lobby of the State Theatre of New York, with many industry peers sitting in the front row, hundreds of media reporters and well-known film critics in the back, and the largest number of ordinary people in the back.

There were no surprises, and the State Theatre of New York, which has nearly 3,000 seats, was packed.

At the same time, "Man of Steel" is still being screened in 3,500 theaters in North America, and after today, tomorrow's Friday will be expanded to 4,250 theaters in North America.

Attendance at all premieres in North America was not low, and theaters in popular commercial areas in major cities such as Manhattan, Santa Monica Business Center, and Hollywood Boulevard were also full.

Just like Murphy said, after all, this is the world's first superhero in terms of fame and qualifications, Superman will never lack fans, even if it is the failed "Superman Returns", the initial attendance rate is not low, but there is a problem with the film itself, and it is impossible to avoid serious high and low starts.

For the sequels of those summer blockbuster films, the impact of word-of-mouth is not particularly large, but the "Superman" series is definitely an exception, the failure has brought an indelible scar to Superman, if there is no film that hits the box office and word-of-mouth at the same time, it is difficult to eliminate the negative impact of the former "Superman 4" and "Superman Returns".

Since the premiere was held in New York, Daisy did not attend the premiere, but stayed in Los Angeles and organized a discussion group with nearly 100 members to watch the movie at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.

In the State Theater of New York, many film critics have taken out notebooks and pens, which is their professional habit, compared to the previous "Spider-Man 3" and "Shrek 3", "Man of Steel" has attracted more attention from film critics.

"Murphy Stanton is a very thoughtful director."

In a manor house in the suburbs of Chicago, Roger Albert, who had just recovered from a serious illness, sat in his private theater and said to Richard Rope, "Although this is a summer commercial film after all, do you think he will only shoot an ordinary popcorn movie?" ”

Richard Ropee shook his head without thinking about it, "Murphy Stanton has a prominent personal style and is a very ambitious director, how can he only shoot an ordinary commercial film." ”

Roger Albert glanced back at two Warner Bros. crew members who were putting the finishing touches on the screening, and he turned back to look at the screen in front of him and said, "The answer will be revealed in a moment." ”

Roger Albert has not been able to go out because of his recent poor health, but his reputation and status are here, and countless producers will take the initiative to send the film to the door.

Although there is a very significant time difference between the east and west of the United States, all the advance screenings of "Man of Steel" were selected to be released at the same time.

On the big screen of the State Theater of New York, the opening credits of Warner Bros. and DC Comics flashed by, and the film officially kicked off.

Under the black sky, the group walked up to the land being developed by the metropolis, and one of them had a bald head that was unusually eye-catching, and they took the elevator and descended to the bottom of the trough, and then a dark gray spaceship appeared.

The bald head is naturally Lex Luthor, and in a few simple conversations, the film explains that he has a strong government background and is working on a project related to human genes, and this ship of mysterious origin is extremely important to his entire group.

Lex Luthor opens the ship and finds a woman in black armor inside......

Rising to the ground, Lex Luthor instructed those around him, "Build the new Lex Luthor Mansion here." ”

At the same time, a bright light suddenly flashed in the sky, and it seemed that a meteor had appeared, and Lex Luthor looked up, and the picture switched to his first perspective, and when he switched back again, the owner of the perspective had changed to an extremely beautiful woman standing on the terrace.

Tall, slender, glamorous, sexy...... When Doug saw her, he poured out a string of adjectives, as if he saw Aphrodite walking down Mount Olympia.

The tall black-haired woman stared at the meteors flashing in the sky, and seemed to see something unusual in them.

"Miss Prinz......" a waiter came up behind her, "and the art auction is about to begin." ”

A short line explains the dual identity of this woman, but those who know a little about DC know that this is Wonder Woman Diana Prinz, and the identity on the surface is an art dealer.

Diana Prinz walks into the auction hall and walks through the door when the scene cuts to a black colonel in military uniform walking into her boss's office.

"We detected a meteorite entering the atmosphere." "But no trajectory was detected." ”

The materials that make up meteorites are very complex, and this situation is not unheard of in the past, and the boss did not pay attention to it, but just regarded it as an ordinary meteorite.

In the dark night of Kansas, a fireball suddenly fell from the sky, breaking the peace of a huge farm, a very ordinary couple found the fall to the ground, found a small dark black spaceship, when they opened the spaceship, the spaceship was a baby, next to the baby there was a set of dark blue clothing, the upward side of the costume, is a huge "S"!

The picture goes from far to near, and finally becomes a close-up of the "S", and then the title appears - "Man of Steel".

You can't see much at the beginning, but the amount of information conveyed is enough, Superman descends on Earth and is discovered by his adoptive parents, and the villain of the film must be Lex Luthor, the beautiful Wonder Woman makes a stunning appearance.

It's not much, but it's enough to entice people to keep watching.

This film is about the origin of Superman, and the first part is naturally based on Clark Kent's transition from incognito to becoming Superman.

In addition to being extremely robust, Clark Kent, who first appeared, seemed ordinary and indistinguishable from ordinary people, but what he did constantly reminded the audience that he was not an ordinary person.

When encountering a burning building, save others with your own strength; was bullied by a truck driver in a bar, and when the truck driver came out, he found that his truck had turned into a twist......

These are all reminders to the audience that Clark Kent is different.

And whenever Clark Kent does these shocking things, his first choice is to leave, as soon as possible, because he knows that his presence will cause fear and distress to the vast majority of people.

Where does this perception come from?

Clark Kent travels north, and every thing he does is followed by a childhood memory.

In any case, this is not a literary film, and Murphy deliberately uses color to distinguish the past from the present in order to make it simple and easy to watch.

The sky is now completely gloomy and dark cyan tones, and the sky of Clark Kent in his childhood is full of sunlight.

Each episode of a childhood memory appears, the sunlight of the next childhood memory will be significantly reduced, and the sky will correspondingly become a little darker.

"Using hues as a metaphor for the world of Clark Kent." Roger Albert nodded, "Murphy Stanton is really smart and sophisticated, and Clark Kent was also full of sunshine in his childhood, instead of hiding like he is now, why did he end up so down?" What is the root cause of all this? ”

Not only Roger Albert, but also the average viewer can feel this, and Daisy easily judges that the source of Clark Kent's predicament comes precisely from his unusual ability, which makes the eyes of those around him look more strange every time this ability appears.

But he was powerless to get out of this situation, so he could only keep covering up and evading.

The camera follows Clark Kent all the way north, he helps others again and again, leaves in a hurry again and again, he shows different times in his childhood, and even saves an entire school bus from the river......

However, instead of praise and recognition, these are panicked.

The fear of his classmates at school caused him to be encouraged and withdrawn; The teachers hated him, believing that he had brought nothing but disaster; Parents fear him and fear that such monsters will harm their children......

Clark Kent is unable to receive any equal and kind treatment from those around him other than his adoptive parents, and as he gets older, he begins to doubt and loathe his differences, which does not help him.

After rescuing his adoptive father from a tornado, the panic surrounding him about Clark Kent reached a peak, and after the father-son conflict suddenly erupted, Jonathan Kent revealed Clark Kent's origin and led him into the barn where the ship was hidden.

Clark Kent got a Kryptonian costume that came with the ship, as well as a key with a family crest, because the spaceship displayed a message indicating that the ship was launched at an extraordinary time, and the content of the record was limited, he needed to find a spaceship with a life origin chamber that the Kryptonians launched to Earth tens of thousands of years ago in order to solve the mystery of his origin.

A confused Clark Kent is on his way, and he needs to find his true self. (To be continued.) )
