Chapter 588: What Happens Is the Problem
Their war, our world, the propaganda poster of the human camp prominently writes such a sentence, which can also be regarded as the subtitle of the film. This sentence is a good interpretation of the theme of the movie, whether it is the Autobots or the Decepticons, they are aliens, but the war between the two super-civilization camps is happening on Earth.
The great god fights and the little ghost suffers, and the human race can be said to have suffered an unjustified disaster, so many people are afraid of the Decepticons at the same time, but they also have no good feelings for the Autobots, even if they are righteous. What role should humanity play in such an unbalanced war, and how should it protect its own world?
The cartoon of "Transformers", in addition to the original commission of Kawasaki Bookstore to produce zuò, also authorized European animation companies to independently produce zuò, but it was only a war between the Autobots and the Decepticons on an alien planet. The live-action version of the movie places the battlefield on Earth, and it is a new chapter for humanity to join the war.
At the premiere, Ye Cheng talked about everything from the role played by humans to the new chapter of the story, and as the most important work since his filming, the premiere ceremony was much grander than any previous work. Of course, this is only a comparison, strictly speaking, it is generally a large scale, but Zhang Qiuxi and they don't like to spend experience on it, so this time the selection is particularly grand.
The ceremony is in the name of a world premiere celebration, and I have considered whether the premiere ceremony should be held directly in North America, after all, the North American market is larger, but although this is a co-production, people prefer to classify it as a Chinese-language film, and even if it is a premiere, it should take care of the emotions of domestic audiences.
In order to better publicize and promote, the film has signed cooperation agreements with more than 200 companies in more than 70 countries in the post-production stage. And it's not just the appeal of Hollywood movies that can get to this point. It's not just Warner Bros. that's just the credit, the most important thing is the influence of Transformers itself.
Also because of this influence. The release of the live-action version of "Transformers" has become a global feast, and it is a pity that it has not been released simultaneously except for the domestic and North American markets. The shortest one is a week slower, and the longest is a month. The bigger the market, the faster the release will be, and vice versa, the slower.
Out of the meticulous craftsmanship of details and the pursuit of big scenes, the film overspent once in Ye Cheng's hands, and what was piled up with money was a perfect audition experience, and the film did not disappoint the audience who were looking forward to it. In order to enhance the sense of realism, the machine qì people abandoned the square shape of the cartoon and added countless detailed parts, including tens of thousands of parts of Optimus Prime alone.
In order to make a good movie. Before the script was decided, Ye Cheng created a lot of simulation models, which is one of the reasons why the details can be filmed so realistically and believably. Whether it's a machine or a Decepticon, every part of the deformation is meticulous, and many viewers may not realize the use of this change, but it doesn't mean that it is superfluous.
The visuals are impeccable, as is the plot, in fact, long back when it was known that the live-action movie takes place on Earth, with the human camp involved, and the movie was co-shot with Warner Bros. I guessed how Zhang Qiuxi would tell this story.
After all, if you co-produce it, there will be more things to worry about, the audience is used to watching Hollywood blockbusters, and the human camp has always been represented by the United States. Whether it's fighting aliens or monsters, other countries are at most playing soy sauce, and it has always been American GIs who save the world.
"Transformers" is a domestic work, and it is finally our turn to save the world once. But even if you are not willing to admit it, it is also a fact that the United States is still the hegemon. It seems a bit wishful thinking to let the Great Celestial Empire dominate the human camp, and if it doesn't, it will be a bit long for others to destroy their own prestige. Emotionally unacceptable.
How to do it seems to be a bit unflattering, many fans are worried about whether Zhang Qiuxi can arrange the plot cleverly, but Zhang Qiuxi didn't think about it so much when he wrote the script, and the main external factor for the conception of the plot was just the convenience of shooting.
"Although you haven't thought about it, it doesn't mean that you don't subconsciously worry about it." Hongdou felt that there was such a possibility, and when he walked out of the cinema, he said: "No matter what, I should be glad that the problem has been solved, whether intentionally or unintentionally, or I don't know that the audience is far more sensitive than the creator." ”
Zhang Qiuxi agrees with this very much, because there are many examples of fans pinching up the plot and even directly criticizing the creator, and these original viewers feel that it doesn't matter at all, but some viewers feel that it is unacceptable to break through the offline line, which can't tell who is right and who is wrong, and everyone's position on the problem is different.
As a creator, you can't point to the person who can defeat your critics in a fight, and the best way to avoid these problems is not to cause a war of words. In "Transformers", the humans jointly formed the lair force, which is based in the United States but did not explain who is the leader at the political level, and the captain of the lair force was also selected last, the main reason is that he has rich experience in fighting with the machine people.
This is not Zhang Qiuxi deliberately downplaying, but I think that the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons is the focus, and putting the story on the intrigue between humans is a bit upside down. It seems more reasonable to human nature to never change the nature of infighting, but this is a popcorn movie, and there is no need to pay so much attention to it.
Besides, in this way, it seems that human beings can work together in the face of a catastrophe, and it is also very positive. Such an arrangement is not only satisfactory to the domestic audience, but also the audience in other countries has not jumped out to accuse that it has been smeared, and this is enough.
"Although many people were discussing this issue before the release, in fact, no one is paying attention at all now, and the movie itself is the most important thing." Ye Qingqing felt that this issue no longer mattered, and there was no need to discuss it.
Li Yue said with a smile: "Because it didn't happen, of course it won't cause any storms, so it's better than causing unnecessary disputes." ”
The movie itself has nothing to say, whether it is the audition effect, the plot or the actors' expressions, they are all satisfying. The change of the male protagonist from weak to brave to take responsibility, the sacrifice spirit of the male supporting actor who is willing to dedicate, and the sexy and beautiful heroine have fascinated countless male audiences, but it is not just a vase that can sell meat, every character has flesh and blood.
The box office is enough to explain the problem, and if you still feel that the box office does not represent word of mouth, the evaluation of more than eight points on the rating website is enough to show that the movie is popular and popular. On the rating website of Wenqing, it is not easy for this type of popcorn commercial blockbuster to get high scores, and it will not be praised if it has no connotation or anything.
"Now that the movie is still in full swing, many viewers are already talking about the sequel, and it is not easy to keep up with them." Yang Jie said with a smile: "Ye Cheng, you creators haven't thought about this problem yet, right?" ”
Since the live-action movie is a new chapter in the story, a lot of attention has called for it to be made into a series of stories, and there must be a sequel, but it really hasn't been considered. Zhang Qiuxi said: "Ye Cheng is still busy with a group of actors to promote the world, how can he have time to think about this." ”
"He's been idle long enough, isn't that why? Otherwise, the sequel can be considered after N episodes. ”
At the end of the movie, the human camp organization dominated by the nest troops has just been established, and the last one destroyed is just a small boss. This is also Zhang Qiuxi's arrangement is also different from the original.,Follow the concept of fighting monsters and upgrading.,It's not that the boss has been defeated in this episode.,The next episode will resurrect the boss and brush it again.。
The original "Transformers" live-action movie, the plot is weaker than the other, and Zhang Qiuxi jumped out directly when he wrote the script, which avoided this problem. It's just that how to write the story of the sequel is also a matter of thought, and it is not so easy to create a series of stories.
"Ye Chengcheng's body has been idle for most of the past half a year, but his thoughts are not idle at all, and he is even more entangled than anyone else." Ye Qingqing broke the news: "The more important things you are, the more you will suffer from gains and losses, and after burning so much money, I have always been worried about whether I can succeed, and I am afraid that the psychological momentum has not yet fully landed, and I don't have the heart to consider anything else." ”
Judging from the current situation, the box office is definitely a success, but there may be a big dive in the future, and there are many examples of box office explosions on the day of the premiere and then a sharp turn. But that's all the reason for the extremely poor reputation, "Transformers" won't end up like this, it's just that as Ye Qingqing said, the more you care, the more you worry, but you can't really rest assured at the last moment.
"Transformers" has long become a complex, in fact, even if the story is bad, it is not a problem to make a lot of money at the box office, but Zhang Qiuxi never only rushes for money no matter what they do, and Ye Cheng is the same under their influence. If the reputation is not good, no matter how much money he makes, he will inevitably be sprayed, and more importantly, he will feel that he has smashed this golden signboard.
He also has the complex of "Transformers", which is also the original intention of making this movie, applause and popularity are the ultimate pursuit, and now it has actually been done. Zhang Qiuxi said: "Then let him continue to be nervous, he will always experience such a mood." Now that the movie has been watched, we still have to go back to our respective homes to find our own mothers, and there will be more things worth paying attention to tomorrow. ”
"It's just a matter of paying attention, so why be in such a hurry." Hongdou yawned and said, "I'm really tired when you say that, let's go." (To be continued......)
