The trailer began to play, and the chaotic venue was instantly silent, and everyone was engrossed in staring at the alloy curtain in front of the venue, for fear of missing any shot. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info【Fengyun Novel Reading】

As the editor-in-chief of the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times, Sally naturally sat in the front row of the media seat, her arms folded over her chest, and she watched the rather mysterious trailer seriously.

The trailer opens with the Warner logo and the dark background of The Dark Knight, followed by Batman's iconic Gotham buildings and cityscapes, and the caption says: Every hero has their own journey.

Subsequently, Bruce? Wayne appears, walking through a village, seemingly chasing down the whereabouts of the villain.

The subtitles continue to play: every hero has their own end.

The voice of the ninja master, the leader of the first villain ninja group, sounded outside the picture at this time: If you make yourself more than just a person, if you sincerely adhere to your ideals, then you will completely change qualitatively, and you will become a legend, Mr. Wayne, a legend!

The camera pans to a hospital bed, Gary? Oldman's Jim? Lying on the bed, Sergeant Gordon looked wounded, his expression and voice were in pain, and he said to the person opposite, "We used to fight side by side, and then you left... But now the evil forces have developed, and it's Batman... It's time to come back. ”

Gordon's voice was painful and oppressive.

The person on the other side, who never appeared on camera, replied, "What if he doesn't exist anymore?" ”

This seems to echo the end of the second part?

Sarah couldn't help but hold her chin, at the end of "The Dark Knight", Batman became a departed warrior and a hidden hero, but the actors, photographers and screenwriters all said more or less in interviews: Duke's Batman trilogy is a complete series, and the summary and echo of the first two parts of the third part will become an indispensable focus.

The dialogue in the previous paragraph has no plot cohesion, which seems to be somewhat meaningful. This is followed by a quick cut that reveals a few messages, such as Batman's motorcycle, Gordon destroying Batman's logo, and the super-fast flash cut showing the face of the episode's villain, Bane the Destroyer.

Then, the camera returns to the shots on the previously released poster: crumbling high-rises, ruined industrial cities, and a bright Batman look, and the camera gradually zooms in to the bright colors, showing the title in a shimmering white.

Watch this trailer. Sarah can't help but think of the original "Batman: Time to War", the poster of that film also used a huge bat to cover Gotham, but that poster has an orange background and graphic design, and in the finale poster, Batman will face a post-apocalyptic Gotham.

Each hero has his own journey and beginning: why do we fall, because then we learn to get up; Every hero also has its own end: it doesn't matter who you are, it's what you do.

This is not the end. It was the beginning of the explosion of publicity for The Dark Knight Rise.

With half a month to go until the film's release, Warners has presented a finale 13-minute production special, which is the ultimate meal for fans eager to learn about the various aspects of the film's production behind the scenes.

In the special, Duke and the main creators behind the film, and all the leading actors appeared. Explain in detail all aspects of the film from the story to stunt shooting, set construction, special effects production, large-scale shooting, etc., including a large number of never-before-seen on-set footage, work photos, etc.

In addition, fans can download a 49-page copy of the official production notes from The Dark Knight Rises' official website, including cast and crew interviews, revised script scripts, film blueprints, and more.

And "The Dark Knight Rises" also held its first round of media screenings in North America. The film received unanimous praise from the media, and Warner Bros. has announced that the film will be released in 97 overseas markets in the first weekend of May, along with North America.

Of course. "The Dark Knight Rises" is unlikely to win everyone's favor, and some people criticize the film as a Hollywood industrial assembly line product that is both stupid and stupid.

Duke has never denied this, and almost all of his films since his career have been assembly line products. And not to mention these commercial productions, those Oscar Best Pictures that have been praised to the sky by niche fans and even "The Shawshank Redemption", who is not the output of Hollywood's industrial assembly line?

Warner Bros. has spared no effort in the promotion of "The Dark Knight Rises", in fact, since many years ago, Hollywood's major film companies have had a blockbuster mentality, that is, second-level films get first-class film treatment, vigorously publicize, fully release, and earn huge profits.

As the summer season is about to begin, another summer movie season is coming, accompanied by too many complaints from literary audiences about sequels, superheroes and special effects, who are full of complaints about the film while queuing up to buy tickets to watch it.

In their mouths, all commercial films are brainless.

When it comes to holding accountable for the long summer film season, these people must be the same as the scapegoat, Steven? Spielberg's Jaws and two years later George? Star Wars released by Lucas.

Jaws is not the first film to be fully released in North America.

In 1971, "Billy Jack" was released in 1,200 theaters, far more than "Jaws" at 465.

"Star Wars" was only released in 43 theaters, and in today's parlance, it was a "big hit" film in 1977. However, these two films did surpass the $100 million box office at the earliest, and they set a precedent for "watching movies as a thrilling journey", attracting people to watch them repeatedly, which "The Godfather" can't match.

Regardless of what people who hate commercial films say, the success of "Jaws" and "Star Wars" is undoubted, and the influence of the latter directly kills all the Oscar Best Picture in seconds, and even the name can be used by one country as a strategy to fool another country.

After so many years of development, there is naturally an obvious pattern in the summer file.

For example, the size of the person is very important.

In "Jurassic World," which Duke had seen, the Tyrannosaurus rex gave way to the bigger, stronger tyrannical Tyrannosaurus rex, because, as one character in the film said, "No one makes a fuss about dinosaurs anymore." ”

The first episode, Jurassic Park, is markedly different, and the star of the hit in it is not a Tyrannosaurus rex, but a much smaller velociraptor - intelligent, fast, and lethal.

The first blockbusters consisted of stories such as David and Goliath, where speed and scheming were used against size, and speed and stratagem prevailed.

Spielberg's arrangement in "Jaws" is all about the physically weak, and "Star Wars" can be called a hymn to the little man.

Just like "Jurassic Park" and "Jurassic World", the commercial blockbusters of the 10th century are significantly different from those after the new century, and it can be said that the previous commercial blockbusters were as American as apple pie.

When Jurassic Park was released in France in 1993, the French Minister of Culture declared it "a threat to the French national identity" and said that every Frenchman had a "patriotic duty" to boycott the film and go to see the French period film "Sprout".

But a year later, Hollywood's overseas profits surpassed domestic profits.

Nowadays, like Michael? More than half of the profits from films like "Transformers 2: The Comeback" and "Transformers 3: When the Moon Darks" directed by Bay come from overseas.

According to Duke, China, the world's fastest-growing film market, is expected to overtake North America in 2020, and Hollywood is adjusting and advertising its filming plans accordingly.

The Chinese officials in the script of "Iron Man 3" are less vicious, the "Transformers" series has product placements for some Chinese banks and other brands, and the monsters of "Godzilla" and "Pacific Rim" have traveled all over the major cities on the Pacific Rim. Because China opens about 10 new theaters every day.

Hollywood's business strategies are constantly changing, and if you don't grasp it in time, you will fall behind.

Like David? Ellison has always believed that blockbusters are for boys, but he has not noticed that the market has changed in recent years, which directly led to the lack of stamina of "Fast and Furious 5".

In the past, there was a word within Hollywood that specifically described the core consumer customers - avid fans, and from this name, you can also see what gender this group of people is predominant.

It's sci-fi fans who collect merchandise and arrange DVDs in alphabetical order, with pale faces and a penchant for shaking hands, who are said to be able to get out of their homes full of Nintendo consoles and make Marvel's new film the top.

Indeed, since Star Wars, major studios have targeted teenage boys, Michael? Bay once said, "I make movies for teenage boys. ”

But that was before the release of "Twilight", and the misconception that only boys could make blockbusters is now shattered. Films like The Hunger Games have nearly two-thirds of the audience made up for women.

However, do these blockbusters really represent brainlessness?

"The opening scene is all nobodies, and in the end they are all superheroes.

At this year's Oscars, the director who was rejected by Duke finally won the Oscar for best director with "Birdman", which he called the comic book film "Cultural Massacre".

This film can be said to be very average in terms of quality and content, and the comments from the audience and even professional film critics are not good.

Its victory is a reflection of the deep-seated prejudice against box office blockbusters at the Academy.

The Oscars may always mistake themselves for the Nobel Peace Prize and disdain blockbusters to cater to the lowest common denominator, but how different is the essence of what Hollywood produces on the assembly line?

To put it bluntly, they are all assembly line products, the only difference is to cater to the public, and the Oscars are to cater to the niche.

What is a brainless pastime today often turns into a beloved classic of tomorrow.

Inception is as ingenious as a cinematic watchmaker, Mad Max is as exhilarating as any other film ever made, and Pixar is as artistic, skillful and attentive as any Academy Award winner...... (To be continued~^~)
