Chapter 678: Full of Faith
As well-known filmmakers in this country, Jiang Xiaojun and Ge Guangtou were recognized by sharp-eyed reporters before they left the studio, and a female reporter quickly stopped them. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info,
"Two, just watched "Transformers" ......"
It was obvious that the female reporter knew Jiang Xiaojun and Ge Guangtou, and she asked directly, "Can you talk about your opinion on this movie?" ”
"The momentum of the film is magnificent." Ge Guangtou thought for a moment, and then said, "Its visual effects are too good, and the technology used is also groundbreaking, which are incomparable to domestic films...... Well, there's also a staggering production cost. ”
"What do you think?" The reporter turned to Jiang Xiaojun.
Although he has been banned from directing films for many years, Jiang Xiaojun is still a director, and he said from a director's point of view, "Duke Rosenberg uses all the visual tools at his disposal to lead those of us who watch the film like a master strategist, enjoying the magnificent scenes and spectacular vision, although the story of this film is too simple, but in terms of technical effects, it is simply impeccable." ”
The reporter's eyes are not only on celebrities, but also on ordinary fans.
Miss Lu, who works at China Merchants Bank, told reporters that she didn't like to watch such movies, especially those with a bunch of machines beating around, but now she has changed her opinion, "I think it's shocking, mainly because of the special effects, and I was stunned by many ideas. ”
Mr. Zhang, who works in an advertising agency, said, "Now that domestic and imported blockbusters are priced at high prices, I think it's worth spending money to watch such movies." ”
This is also the opinion of many fans.
Leaving the studio, Wang Ziming quickly returned home, although it was not early, he did not feel any sleep. His head was full of images of Autobots and Decepticons colliding, and those real shots that seemed to happen in front of him once made him wonder if there would be Transformers in the world he lived in.
The ringtone of the mobile phone rang suddenly, Wang Ziming took it and glanced at the number, it was a friend of his. The other party is an avid Transformers enthusiast, but he didn't go to see the film, and for Duke? Rosenberg's film doesn't have much goodwill, for the simple reason that the film changes too many Transformers' looks.
"How's the film?" A familiar voice came from the earpiece, "It's disappointing, isn't it?" ”
"No, it doesn't disappoint."
Holding his mobile phone, Wang Ziming walked back and forth in the room for a few steps, and said in a categorical tone. "The special effects of "Transformers" are so good, if this movie is at the highest throne of CGI special effects, the special effects of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" and "Spider-Man 3" that we have seen together can only draw circles on the side steps, which is basically two levels of effect, "Transformers" simply makes me hard to believe that these big guys are made with computers, they seem to exist in reality."
"This ...... It's true? You didn't lie to me? ”
The voice in the earpiece was a little hesitant, "He has changed the shape of the Transformers, aren't you also very dissatisfied?" ”
"Stop babbling about the blocks in the cartoons. It's a childhood memory, but I really can't imagine what it would be like to put those blocks in this film. Don't look at a few stills and shout these broken copper and iron like skeletons and the like, because you can feel the shock of these 'broken copper and iron' on the screen, and I can guarantee that you will definitely accept these so-called broken copper and iron in the film. ”
It seems that he doesn't want his friends to miss such a wonderful film, Wang Ziming continued, "This film is not for us to talk about life or pretend, this film has only two purposes. First, make money in your pocket, and second, make you feel good after spending the money. I had just come out of the theater and what I saw was the vast majority of the audience walking into the cinema. It's cool, and it's not as enjoyable as I am, and I plan to go see it a second time tomorrow. ”
He asked, "Li Ping, are you going?" ”
"I ......"
This person named Li Ping was still a little hesitant, "I'll take a look at the comments on the Internet first." ”
Hung up the phone,Li Ping turned on the computer,On the professional movie website Time.com,In the most conspicuous position on the home page,Optimus Prime's huge avatar is particularly eye-catching,After he clicked on the link,Didn't look at the others,But dragged the webpage to the bottom,Here is the relevant comment column。
More than a thousand fans watched the premiere, and here are some comments as well.
"It's over, it's out of mind again."
"The classic to death "Transformers", even if the premiere is a bunch of posters, fans like me will be shocked with excitement, I was still pretending to be calm, but I lost my mind as soon as the film opened."
"The film can only be described as stunningly gorgeous, when the sound of machinery is heard one after another when it is transformed, the whole theater is suffocated......"
"Just one word, I love Duke to death? Rosenberg's "Transformers". ”
Seeing this, Li Ping felt that he had returned to the era when he hated being called a bumblebee the most, and everyone was vying to be Megatron, when the Decepticons were much more popular than the Autobots, and now I think that the Autobots are not so bright and upright every time, all with the help of the director and screenwriter, which led to many peers around him at that time to say in Megatron's tone - the enemy has been discovered and is ready to launch!
He unconsciously took his mobile phone, dialed the number just now, and after the other side was connected, he said directly, "Ziming, let's go together tomorrow!" ”
"If you want to see it, you can watch the IMAX3D version, I'll book a ticket first."
Hung up the phone, Wang Ziming checked it on the Internet, and then dialed the number of one of the only 3 IMAX theaters in Shanghai, but what he got was disappointment, the IMAX3D version of "Transformers" has no tickets tomorrow!
He dialed the phone number of two other movie theaters with IMAX theaters, and waited for an answer that there was still no ticket.
There was no way, Wang Ziming could only settle for the second best thing and choose the 3D version, but fortunately, the 3D tickets were a little nervous, but they could always queue up to buy them.
"I called to book tickets, only to find that the IMAX version of the tickets were gone, and I finally booked the 3D version of the tickets, or tomorrow's midnight show."
Rather reluctantly, he called his friend to inform him.
As an emotional bond connecting a generation born in the seventies and eighties, the status of "Transformers" is particularly prominent, so even in China, there are still Transformers fan clubs, Transformers annual meetings, and online fan exchange activities, which are enough to provide the most basic moviegoers for "Transformers" live-action movies.
As the time turned to midnight, more "Transformers" screenings began to be screened, and more and more fans saw this commercial masterpiece, and the Internet was full of opinions of ordinary movie fans.
On the Tianya Forum, someone whose ID is Optimus Prime left a message, "It's too much of an understatement to say that this film will be 'hot', "Transformers" is too good to be true! ”
""Transformers" is back from watching the movie, the special effects are absolutely top-notch, and the film feels a little long to me," an anonymous netizen left a message on Time.com, "But I like it very much!" ”
"OK, review of Transformers? …… Wow, wow, wow! Incredible...... Awesome! This is what someone said to a friend on QQ.
Similar statements can be found everywhere on the Internet.
"Totally blown away by Transformers! In those 110 minutes, I felt like I was back in my childhood. Thank you, Duke? Rosenberg! Also, the 3D stereoscopic effect is absolutely groundbreaking and shocking! ”
"It was a spectacular experience, like never before!"
"It's so cool! "Transformers" is simply incomparable, extremely shocking, and invincible! ”
"Every second is filled with so many action scenes, you may not be tempted to add another 100 yuan to the box office when you walk out of the theater after watching the film."
This is not the relatively mature film market in North America, both fans and the industry chain are in the initial stage of rapid development, Duke will not ignore the media's guidance of public opinion and the influence of the audience, and things like Internet water armies are also extremely popular in this huge regional network.
Then there are the professional film critics in this market, who are all in their infancy, and the prices are far less outrageous than those in North America, and they only need a few hundred dollars in exchange for these people's applause.
To put it bluntly, there is no difference between the two sides of the ocean in this industry.
However, there will be people who don't buy Transformers, some people will like this type of film, and some people won't like this type of film.
On Douban, a well-known Chinese bourgeois website, "Transformers" is not very popular.
Although there is no shortage of "wonderful, shocking, and successful" applauds on Douban movies, they have also encountered some "bad reviews".
Someone bluntly suggested boycotting the film, "This raucous, brutal movie will make you feel more pain than pleasure." ”
Others questioned that the film was a commercial, "a disgusting, forceful commercial exercise to sell cars, toys and war, and it falsely claims to be a movie." It's not a movie, it's a sour junk drink, and it's recommended not to let your kids touch it. ”
There's no doubt that Duke's production style isn't very popular with mainstream users of this site.
Someone else left a message, "From Duke who only explodes? From the moment Rosenberg became the director of the film, "Transformers" lost the last bit of opportunity to be a slightly passable film. He has no plan, no style, no storytelling, no pacing. He only knows how to pile up special effects, and only knows how to pursue the biggest and noisiest, no matter whether the star in his hand is Nicholas? Keith, Keanu? Reeves is still one of those robot giants who can turn into cars, and he just keeps them together with a camera that shakes and shakes endlessly. ”
However, this is destined to be a niche opinion, and no matter what they say, it can't change the fact that audiences are lining up in front of theaters to buy tickets to "Transformers", and the major theaters are also full of confidence in the box office. (To be continued.) )
