Chapter 728: A masterpiece of prestige under the word-of-mouth carnival
readx;?“ I'm puzzled why so many people are interested in Steven? Spielberg worshipped, and even used words like great to describe this mediocre director, "Schindler's List" is obviously an overrated typical, it was made entirely for the sake of winning awards, and making a fuss about the subject matter is a major reason why the film won awards. Behind the pen, fun, and www.biquge.info, Spielberg has a lot of fun, shooting all kinds of political themes one after another to confuse the academic judges, such as "Munich" and other mediocre works......"
"The Terminal of Happiness and The Adventures of Tintin both prove that he is old and yellow, or that he has been beaten back to his original form, and "The Adventures of Tintin" is his real level, and I have always wondered why he can be compared to Kubrick, and I can see from "The Adventures of Tintin" that Spielberg has only touched the surface of the master......"
It wasn't Duke's words to reporters, of course, but a comment he saw on the Internet slamming Spielberg on the plane.
In the minds of a small group of people, Spielberg is definitely inferior to Stanley? Kubrick's, but in the eyes of most audiences and even academics, Kubrick simply cannot be compared to Spielberg.
This is especially true for the Hollywood film industry.
To Duke, James? People of the rank of Cameron and Spielberg will not lash out at others, especially Duke and Spielberg, who themselves represent far more than James? Cameron is complicated, and if the two want to go toe-to-toe, they won't let go.
In fact, the mouth cannon is also of no use.
None of the people who have come this far are stupid, even if their heads are not bright, they will be sharpened into human essence in the long journey.
In the face of reporters' questions about Spielberg, Duke, of course, was full of praise.
"Steven is a true genius and master, the creation and establishment of the Hollywood summer "Jaws", the establishment of a new sci-fi style of "ET Aliens", are enough to prove his greatness, and his importance to the development of the entire Hollywood film industry!"
While these words may not be sincere, they are not all nonsense. When it comes to the importance of the entire Hollywood film industry, Spielberg has completely exploded Kubrick, just like "Titanic", in Hollywood circles. Few would denigrate Spielberg's Jaws because they brought a groundbreaking new dimension to Hollywood.
"Titanic" opened the world market for Hollywood and completely promoted the globalization of Hollywood films; "Jaws" created Hollywood's summer model, which laid the foundation for Hollywood films to become popular all over the world.
Critics can look down on these two films and sneer at them. But those involved don't.
Duke is one of those people.
With the arrival in Phoenix, the various promotions of "Fury Road" have also been intensively bombarded in the United States and even around the world, not only online public opinion, but also related commentary and reports have encroached on the popular time slots of many TV channels.
NBC TV's weekend evening "Watching Movies" program focused on this film, saying that all the audiovisual language skills in film production, axis, direction of travel, momentum editing, rhythm changes, scene design, camera direction, etc., none of them cannot be found in "Fury Road", so many cars, so many people, and so fierce car chases will not be clear and incomprehensible; It's all done in one go.
The famous morning show "Good Morning America" interviewed some ordinary movie fans and got these people from a non-professional perspective. Let's talk about the merits of this film.
"There is no bloody bed scene before the Great War, and there is not even love."
One after another, fans appeared on camera and said why they liked "Fury Road".
"There is no forced mouth cannon and sensationalism by the protagonist before the big war."
"There are no pig teammates to increase the difficulty and set off the protagonist's rebellion."
"There is no unscientific, no matter how you can't die, like a leisurely stroll in the rain of bullets."
"There's no exaggerated anti-physics action scene, that's enough for driving into a plane or something!"
"There are no deliberate handsome and pretending shots."
"There are no memories of grinding and chirping, not even a word of nonsense, women don't forcibly drag their legs in a daze or scream in an emergency, everyone is doing their best to survive......"
"Some are just doing it! Dry! Dry! Cool from start to finish! ”
"Fury Road" can't get out of a category after all, the audience is limited after all, and if you don't like this style, you won't force yourself to like it, but the promotion of the movie is to arouse the interest of potential audiences. Pull the audience as much as possible to unzip their pockets for the film.
The propaganda on the Internet is more diverse, and Duke's trolls have been able to use some ingenious ways after years of development.
For example, they made a few jokes about "Fury Road". It was retweeted wildly on Instant Share.
"After silently watching "Fury Road", several directors, including Michael? Bey, Robert? Zemeckis, Zach? Schneider, a director who always thought he was the visual streamer, tore the next new film's storyboard to shreds when he went back, and then did everything over again...... Only James? Cameron and other palace-level masters silently chanted in their hearts, 'Respond to all changes with the same'......"
"After watching the test screening of Fury Road, Alessandra? Ambrosio received a reception from director Michael, who had previously worked with him in "Escape from Clone Island"? Bei's phone: How's the film? …… I heard that you have filmed a lot of car chase scenes. Doesn't it look like my style? The tear-stained supermodel angel held his throat and said: The user you dialed is not in the service area......"
These are all designed to arouse interest.
For the sake of publicity, many things in the film are actually tasteless, which is also a common method used by Hollywood, such as Duke registered the script as early as 2004, and the remarks about what the film is five years of sharpening a sword are very common.
And in order to distinguish it from the action areas that are crazy about CG today, "Fury Road" constantly uses live-action shooting as a gimmick in its promotion.
In fact, Duke has never rejected CG technology, and the former director is no exception, like George? Like Miller, in the finished film of "Fury Road", Duke used nearly 2,000 CG composite shots.
But just like Warner Bros. once promoted, this is a live-action film, and this gimmick has also attracted a lot of audiences.
In the promotion of the film, some fake things are said to be extremely true, which is a means used by the film industry all over the world.
The entire crew of "Fury Road" also has a tacit understanding about this.
Duke was interviewed and asked about Charlize? When Theron looked for it, he never mentioned that it was his own idea, but summed it up to Charlize, who was more likely to attract attention.
"I remember when Sally got the script and repeatedly figured out the character, she always felt that something was wrong, and finally it dawned on me and told me to shorten the camera to strip more of the gender from the appearance, of course I agreed, this is the epic Ferrosa we see today!"
Speaking of these words, Duke didn't have to type a draft at all, "Charlize? Theron brings a fierce heroic twist to the summer, and you won't fail to be captivated when her bright eyes shine through the camera to look at you. And even more charming than this appearance is the power of wisdom, bravery and love that she exudes through her characters in the film! ”
It's a character that could well make a difference during awards season, and Duke doesn't mind working for Charlize as well? Theron boasted.
A film, some people praise it, and some people will also criticize it.
The Washington Post, which has always been at odds with Duke, prominently featured a commentary on Sunday.
"Fury Road" - a masterpiece under the word-of-mouth carnival!"
This review uses the technique of suppressing the desire to rise first, first praising the film's action scene design, arguing that all the action scenes are always in motion to enhance the tension when watching, but the rest of the film's techniques are not advisable.
"Showing a lot of deformed people and disfigured faces is a common method for many similar B-grade films, and we also see these in this movie, such as the group portrait of the little dwarf who is in charge of watching and the villain soldier who is completely white, "Fury Road" is at best a B-movie with a huge investment!"
The Washington Post also refuted the notion that "Fury Road" was a landmark work for action films, which many media outlets had praised wildly.
"In addition to being cool or cool, "Fury Road" actually doesn't have much to do with the innovation of the action movie system, the overly bright tones and the use of a lot of downgraded cinematography are all aimed at weakening the seriousness of the film, especially when the fast-forward picture continues to wash the audience's eyeballs, it is like telling you: This film is a pure B-grade movie, don't think too much, sit there and be cool!"
However, this report was powerless to stop the word-of-mouth of "Fury Road" from spreading in a crazy way, and after more than two days of release, IMDB scored a whopping 9.8 points, surpassing "The Dark Knight" in one fell swoop, and temporarily ranked first.
Although this position is not long, it is enough to prove that there are a large number of people who like this film.
According to CinemaScore's statistics, the praise rate of cinema audiences is as high as 92%, the average audience score is 'A+', and Metacritic 55 media reporters scored a super high score of 97.
These are all guarantees that the film will be a blockbuster, even if it is an R-rated film, after a series of fanatical promotions, "Fury Road" still achieved a proud result of 26.37 million US dollars in North American screenings the next day.
Compared with the rise of "Fury Road", "The Adventures of Tintin", which was released at the same time, declined because of the poor reputation of the audience, and only received $3.89 million a day on Saturday.
The market response to "Fury Road" has been overwhelming, but the frequent comparisons between the press and fans and other automotive movies have also touched the sensitive nerves of some people. (To be continued.) )
