Chapter 69: Preview Screening Reaction (Ask for Collection)

Half of the time of the film has passed unconsciously, and Roger Albert has the most intuitive feeling of the film, in addition to maintaining the fast-paced thrilling excitement of "Brave Death Island", it also has more distinctive characteristics that "Life and Death" does not have - gorgeous to complex lens language and color use!

Few films have been able to use the camera to such an aesthetic height in terms of scene scheduling and storyline.

Generally speaking, the lens language does not dare to be too prominent, too excessive, and too preemptive, because it is afraid of becoming a pure visual film, or an MV movie, and the lens language of most directors will eventually give way to the performance and story conveyance.

But in Roger Albert's view, every scene and scene in "Death Island" is a textbook gorgeous picture similar to commercials and music videos.

The high-speed slow motion at the beginning, the close-up of the scenes, and the rain shots with strong backlit shots are simply colorful luxury advertisements, but they are full of tension, and Ed Harris's anger and military temperament can be revealed by the lens alone.

No one dares to expand the gorgeous advertising screen directly into the whole movie!

Even if there were, in Roger Albert's memory, it was a failure.

Even if you don't like the genre of "Death Island", Roger Albert has to admit that this film is definitely not among the failures.

If Duke Rosenberg's "The Speed of Life and Death" is just a small test, then "Into the Island of Death" is a big hit!

"All the close-ups, medium shots, are gorgeous shots."

The short, fat and bespectacled film critic had a calm face, but he was admiring in his heart, "Duke Rosenberg's completely unrestrained lens language can still portray the story and characters so tensely, which is very surprising, and in terms of narrative ability and picture use, it has made great progress compared to "Speed of Life and Death". ”

Suddenly there was a shocking explosion in all directions, and orange-red flames rose on the screen, the flames were thick and dazzling, and under the background of high-speed slow motion, slowly turned into a striking mushroom cloud, bright enough to pierce people's eyes.

The camera is raised, and the whole of Alcatraz Island and even the entire San Francisco Bay seem to be shaking in the explosion......

The explosion also interrupted Roger Albert's thinking, looking at the picture on the screen, his ears heard the continuous cheers in the fan area behind him, a pair of eyebrows were tightly wrinkled together, and even the good impression of the film just now was gradually dissipating.

Movies are an elegant art, and this kind of vulgar scene is really unlikeable, how many explosions in the film are this?

Roger Albert really doesn't remember exactly, but he was sure that if Duke Rosenberg could restrain his desire for destruction, and continue to improve his camera language and narrative ability, he would probably become a master of vision and storytelling in the future, otherwise......

In the end, Roger Albert shook his head slowly, in fact, the two films are enough to reflect the characteristics of the director, Duke Rosenberg's desire to destroy. The desire is so strong that it completely overrides the pursuit of art.

"Playing with explosions and playing with pictures is simply his instinct, and it is also his only excitement!"

As a professional who has watched "Life and Death" and "Into the Dead Island", Roger Albert quickly came to this conclusion.

Compared with Roger Albert, Kenneth Turan next to him put more thought into the filming and production techniques.

He could see that Duke Rosenberg had put a lot of thought into the lighting used for the shooting of the whole film, and almost all the scenes were artificially lit, which thickened and thickened the color intensity, which well set off the heavy tone of the film.

At the beginning, General Hammer goes to the cemetery for a scene, with heavy rain and dark blue tones, coupled with a deep and rich monologue, which clearly points out the theme of the film.

In the whole scene, there are basically no shots of more than 5 seconds, all the shots are almost between 2 seconds and 3 seconds, and the lens settings are diverse, except for no overhead shots, following, parallel, facing and even strapping a camera in front of the front of the car driven by Goosby and Mason, the whole scene is dizzying and highly exciting.

Unlike Hollywood's car chases, which are decorated with post-production technology, Duke Rosenberg's car scene style is obviously live-action, the sound of the engine is clearly audible, and the metal twisting sound of the vehicle when it hits is quite realistic!

"The car chase scene of "Brave Death Island" completely surpasses "Speed of Life and Death"!"

Kenneth Turan wrote this in his notebook.

Jossman and his judging team from Emperor Entertainment Group focused on the selling point of the film, as for whether the film is vulgar or elegant, it is completely out of the scope of the theater side, and they judge the film by only one criterion - whether it can bring revenue.

"This is a complete masterpiece, and the entertainment and thrill of the film are by no means below "Speed of Life and Death"."

While watching the film, Jossman recorded his first impressions of the film in his notebook.

"There is not a minute in the film that makes people go to the bathroom, drink water, or eat, and from the beginning of the movie, the eyes will only be fixed on the screen, and they can't let go of every scene."

"It's very ornamental, I want to be nervous, and there are crazy car chase scenes; I want to think about the theme of 'should the state be kind to the individuals who have sacrificed for it', I want to be entertained, interspersed with humorous dialogues that are real to life, I want to see beautiful women, and the two super vases of Goosby's fiancΓ©e and Mason's daughter......"

"Brave Island of Death" is gradually coming to an end, and Jossman finally writes.

"This is the best men's play I've seen this year, the whole film has a masculine style, a deep atmosphere, no heroine in the whole film, and a complete men's play. There is a high in about 10-15 minutes. Tide action scenes, and the action scenes are large in scale but not out of control, long in time and not procrastinating, and the style is diverse and technically accurate......"

Since the end credits have not yet been added, the end of the film seems to be a little abrupt, and many viewers did not react until the picture on the big screen disappears, the overhead lights come on, and the audience in the back row is alerted to the fact that a thrilling and exciting film has gone away from them.

The theater suddenly fell silent, as if a storm was brewing.

Suddenly, applause came like a hurricane through Louisiana, and the excitement was to tear off the roof of the theater, accompanied by the cheers of many people......

"After the film is officially released, I will definitely watch it again!"

The observers of Warner Bros., who sat in the middle of the fans, carefully recorded the most authentic words and reactions of the surrounding audience.

"I've been staring at it and I'm just feeling tired now, but it's really enjoyable."

"Whether it's a good choice of actors, Christopher Lee's Mason is handsome and cool, and I don't think that scandalous Sean Connery can do that."

One by one, the chattering audience walked out of the theater and handed the questionnaire to the Warner staff at the exit.

β€œA+!”

β€œA+!”

β€œA!”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

These eye-catching ratings have lifted the spirits of Warner's staff, and if the audience of the film has a good reputation, it means that it is likely to be a big hit, and those who are directly involved in the project will have a generous bonus.

On the other side, a large number of film critics and media reporters have entered the banquet hall of a nearby hotel, and several leading actors of the crew have gone to the upstairs rooms to be interviewed by reporters, and Duke, accompanied by Robin Grande, has wandered among the film critics in the banquet hall.

With the addition of several top film critics, this can be said to be the top Junket.Whore in the film industry.

To put it bluntly, this is nothing more than a public relations faction, "Brave Death Island" is a typical commercial system, neither Duke nor Warner Bros. will be stupid enough to ask critics for opinions on this kind of summer popcorn film, let alone stupidly ask critics what they think about the future market and box office of the film.

Everyone knows that professional film critics are detached from the mass market, and in order to highlight their artistic accomplishment and unique tastes without the influence of public relations, the group of film critics has always been what the public likes, they are against it, and the public does not like to see it, but they praise and support it.

In their eyes, what is popular must be vulgar, and what is unique is elegant.

Even Hollywood's stupidest studios wouldn't look for a group of people who are completely out of touch with the mass film market and fundamentally inconsistent with the tastes of mainstream audiences to predict the market prospects of summer films.

If a summer film really does what the critics predicted and built, there is only one way to hit the street at the box office and commercially.

Duke is very clear about this, and Warner, who has a deep background, is also very clear that looking for film critics is to talk about and engage in propaganda, to build and estimate the market, which requires a high degree of professionalism, and film critics obviously do not have such a primary.

The most influential film critics are the films that go straight to the various awards of the academy during the awards season.

"Rosenberg Director ......"

When Duke walked up to a middle-aged man who was slightly bald and wearing glasses, the other party took the initiative to stretch out his hand, and Duke quickly shook it, revealing the most appropriate smile, "Duke, just call me Duke." ”

"Very well, Duke. You can also call me Kenneth. ”

Kenneth Turan, who is also a native of Los Angeles and Jewish, has an obvious impression of Duke, and his words are quite pertinent, "There are still some problems with the narrative details and logical structure of the film, but I can see your progress from it, compared with the previous film, you have significantly improved in the handling of camera language, color and emotional conflicts, and several other links." ”

"Thank you!"

The other party released kindness, and Duke's words were also sincere.

"Hi, Duke."

Charles Rowan and a middle-aged man with glasses walked up to Duke and said, "This is Mr. Roger Albert......
