In addition to editing and dubbing, the focus of post-production is CGI compositing, and Duke uses a lot of green screen scenes in his shooting, and as a director who leans towards technical streams, he doesn't care whether it's live action shooting or computer compositing, which method is the most time-saving and labor-saving, he will choose whichever way is the most time-saving and labor-saving.

With the development of science and technology and the advancement of computer technology, CGI generation technology has long been different, on the contrary, the cost of model shooting is increasing due to the rise in the price of labor and raw materials.

In addition, the digital technology used by Duke to shoot has gradually become the mainstream of Hollywood, and the number of directors using film is decreasing, and it is said that Kodak, the main manufacturer of motion picture film, is not having a good time, and there have even been rumors that it will discontinue the production of film film.

The reality is the opposite of the last century, when film shooting costs are getting higher and higher, and previously expensive digital technology is declining.

Although David, for example? Directors such as Finch insist that film is irreplaceable, but that the development of new technologies is unstoppable by anyone.

"I don't need a clear image of a bat."

At the Warner Studios, Duke said to the head of the computer effects team, "Joe, the samples you drew are exactly the opposite of what I had in mind. ”

Joe? Hart looked at the sample sketch in his hand, which was a very clear image of a bat, and it was also a very orthodox Batman logo.

Without waiting for him to say anything, Duke reiterated his request, "I envisioned the beginning of the film, with a large number of bats flying all over the screen, but the image of a large bat faintly appeared. ”

To put it simply, it's a symbol of Batman.

Going deeper, in the case of most viewers without prompting, the first time you see this scene, there should be a sense of psychological fear, which is also one of the themes of the movie. The reason why a large bat image is formed is to show a "exploitable fear", which is actually a foreshadowing for the plot elaboration after the film.

Of course. The most important thing is to match the dark picture at the beginning, which can directly bring the style of the film to the audience.

Although the realist style of the film sounds completely out of tune with CGI technology. But technology has always been the service provider of the film, and in Hollywood, it has never been technology that determines the style of the film.

Since post-production began in late January, the annual carnival day in North America, the Super Bowl, was just around the corner, and "Batman: Time to War" wanted to enter the Super Bowl halftime commercial, Duke had to cut out a commercial as soon as possible, and in the next few days, he was almost busy with this part of the work. It wasn't until the final submission time five days before the Super Bowl that a short 30-second teaser was submitted to the Super Bowl organizing committee.

Unlike in the past, the trailer doesn't have much content, after all, the post-production of the whole film has just begun, and most of it is blues? The clip of Wayne entangled with bats, the most important thing is the release date, and now it is not far from the time of the summer file.

In addition to the routine Super Bowl commercials, Duke and Warner Bros. also launched a series of publicity campaigns for the rebirth of the Batman series.

"Decades have passed since the comic book character Batman first appeared in Detective Comics magazine. But this character has not faded out of sight with the changes of the times. But with the baptism of the years, it becomes more plump and has the vitality of the times. “

"To date, the story of Batman has been revised many times. Not only his image and outfit have changed. There is also a big difference in style. Once upon a time he was a smiling friend of justice and a chivalrous man who won easily, but as the times changed, his reality and limitations strengthened, and his enemies were more powerful, cunning and crazy than ever. Batman's mental trauma is repeatedly emphasized, and he becomes more and more wandering and lonely, increasingly paranoid and dark. ”

A large number of reviews of Batman's past and present lives have appeared on many print media and online media, and Warner Bros. is obviously using this method. Rekindle public attention to the famous superhero.

Without a doubt, Superman is DC Comics' most far-reaching superhero in the world. Batman is the only comic book hero in DC Comics who can rival Superman in popularity, over the past few decades. Warner Group, the parent company of DC Comics, has dominated half of the Hollywood anime film market with two superheroes alone, Superman and Batman.

Although the film of these two heroes has sunk for too long, there is definitely no shortage of attention.

The review is to promote the film, and it will definitely be based on the tone of "Time to Go to War", and since the plot cannot be revealed in advance, Warner Bros. simply uses Frank? Miller's Batman: Year One comic takes a chronicle of the situation, to Bruce? Wayne's life is reviewed.

Whether it was or is now, "Time to War" was born out of Frank? Miller's Batman: Year One.

"The first year; Bruce. Wayne returns to Gotham City and begins fighting crime on his own, costuming as a bat to intimidate his enemies. James? Gordon transferred to Gotham City as a deputy sheriff......"

In addition to Warner Bros.'s various promotional measures, Duke's personal website and instant sharing account also continued to launch the movie's character modeling and some poster images, and even used the video sharing function to share a clip of just ten seconds, which aroused many responses.

"Although I am a little worried about the Batman series, I firmly believe that Duke will produce it as a high-quality product, and I will definitely watch "Batman: Time to War".

"I think Duke will give Batman a new lease of life!"

"The shape of the characters and the picture of the poster seem to be a little dark, and I am curious about what Duke's Batman will look like."

Although there are many supporters, the negative impact of "Batman and Robin" is still there, and even Duke supporters have people who don't like the series very much.

"Don't like superheroes like Batman, especially Joe? After Schumacher's two films, he didn't have a good impression of Batman. ”

"I'm the same way, even though it's a Duke movie, I don't want to go into theaters, in case he makes "Batman Forever" and "Batman and Robin", how can I deal with it?"

This is a normal thing, and there has never been a movie in the world that can please everyone, even your own supporters.

A film is always liked by some people, watched by others, and disgusted by others.

What Duke has been doing is to win the support of most mainstream audiences, and in his inherent perception, only such a film can be called a successful movie.

There are some types of films, even if the media and critics blow them into the sky, they cannot be widely circulated, and the audience level is often an insurmountable mountain.

People are affected by fame and fortune, and Duke is no exception, and he wants a name similar to James? Cameronian is widely circulated around the world, not Stanley? Kubrick, like that, was confined to a small circle.

Batman's failure in the past has brought not only the different opinions of fans, but also the doubts of the theater side, even if the director of the film is changed to Duke, it cannot completely offset the negative impact of "Batman and Robin".

This is a normal situation, the North American Cinema Alliance is a for-profit business alliance and has never been a nonprofit organization.

When "The Return of the King", they did give Duke maximum support, that is because of the success of the first two parts, and anyone who has no problem with their heads knows that the third part will inevitably be a big hit, and a reboot of a failed series will definitely not enjoy the same treatment as the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

The response to the film market is mediocre and cannot bring enough profits, even if Duke's works will also be forced to be downgraded.

And looking at Hollywood's most successful commercial directors, there are endless examples of capsizing after great success, Spielberg's "Happiness Terminal" and Michael? Bey's Jedi Men 3 has just passed.

To put it bluntly, the basis of any business activity is profit.

"The theater side requires that a test screening must be held."

In Warner Bros. office, Doug? Walter told Duke, "Warner Bros. also needs to use test screenings to accumulate audience word-of-mouth. ”

Duke has never been an arrogant person, and nodded approvingly, "How many test screenings are planned?" ”

"At least three times." Doug? Walter thought for a moment and said, "It's the same old age, the media, the audience, and the theater representatives. ”

After the rise of online media, the position of professional film critics in the summer file has become more and more embarrassing, and now Hollywood rarely sees a commercial masterpiece in the summer file that specifically invites professional film critics to participate in auditions and offers corresponding public relations fees.

This is also the root cause of Duke's enmity with the professional film critic group.

However, after the Oscar for Best Director Statuette arrived, Duke has completely ignored the group of professional film critics.

Roger, who contradicts him the most? Albert is said to have relapsed into an old illness, and although his life was saved because of timely treatment, he could no longer walk or speak, and could only lie on a bed in the hospital for the few remaining years.

Without him as a leader, other film critics are just a plate of loose sand.

Just like Sean at the beginning? Connery retired early, Duke intended to end here, and he wasn't going to bother with a dying man.

Of course, Roger? Albert also wanted to make a name on the Walk of Fame on behalf of professional film critics, as he once did, which is also impossible.

"Duke, time is very tight." Doug? Walter was still a little worried, and advised, "Be sure to complete all the post-production work on Batman: Time to War by late April." ”

Warner Bros. is going to have three rounds of test screenings, and there must be enough time to leak out, Duke thought about the current schedule and schedule, and said seriously, "Doug, don't worry, I promise that it will be completed on time." ”

His words also made Doug? Walter breathed a sigh of relief, Warner Bros. definitely didn't want to see any more accidents with his own son like Batman. (To be continued)
