Chapter 799: A Super Blockbuster Worth the Ticket Price
"Michael? Bey doesn't care about your soul, he only cares about your pocket! But at the very least, he guarantees that you'll come home feeling exhausted and not feeling like you've spent your money a little wrong, and that's a fair deal. ”
This sentence that appears on the website of the American salon can be said to be to Michael? Bey and "Transformers 2" are the most suitable reviews.
The film concentrates on a lot of explosions, fights and destruction, and the audience has never seen such a crazy climactic scene in the theater, which has a great impact on the visual and auditory senses, and feels physically and mentally exhausted after watching it.
"Now that you can see movies everywhere at home and on the Internet, why can you attract people to the theater and come to see your movies?"
Is this Michael? What Bei said in an interview just reflects the current situation of the film industry, there are more and more ways to entertain, and the channels that can see movies are becoming more and more diversified, and films full of visual effects can only experience the best results on the big screen.
In a sense, Michael? Bei understands the audience very well.
"Michael knows what the audience likes because he's also one of the audience. He has a good sense of what makes people excited and what movies the public likes. ”
As one of the film's producers, Jerry? Bruckheimer's assessment of the explosion shell is quite pertinent.
"Noisy", "stupid", "evil", "unbearable", "hopelessly garbage disposer"?????? If you don't like Michael? Bei's movie uses all kinds of vicious words too much.
Can Michael? How can Bey make most of the world's audience crazy? How can Simon? West, Tony? A big director like Scott has a long queue just to buy a movie ticket for the just-released "Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen Kong"?
On the surface, Michael? All of Bay's films use his signature killer features, and they are remarkably similar – endless explosions, deafening noises, dangerous chases, destruction of co-located buildings around the world, and a mixture of American gags.
In fact, the most important hallmark of the Blast Shell movie is the dazzling quick cuts.
"Watch a movie. It only takes a few seconds to tell that it came from Michael? The Hand of the Shell. There is no doubt that he has influenced the visual language of mainstream commercial blockbusters in contemporary Hollywood. ”
As someone who has worked with him several times, Stephen? Spielberg vs. Michael? Bei can be said to know very well.
The editing of a sci-fi action movie is like making a jigsaw puzzle maze, and every screen switch should have its logic, but Michael? Bey doesn't need this kind of logic, he thinks that the coherence of the energy of the action can replace logic.
He specializes in medium shots, mixing upward angles to create an exciting feel, and then quick editing and camera configuration. It makes the audience feel like they are in the battle.
These are perfectly embodied in "Transformers 2", which makes the audience crazy and boiling, and even they ignore the existence of superstars like Ryan in the film.
"Whether it is the popularity of the action scenes, the richness of the plot content, or the density of interspersed jokes, it will greatly exceed your expectations."
Instead of leaving Rhode Island immediately after the premiere, Ellen was preparing to attend an upcoming Transformers global fan event hosted by Hasbro when he received a call from a friend asking about the film, saying, "If your appetite for the film is a beef burger." Then the film serves you a whole beef pizza, which is guaranteed to satisfy your appetite and does not rule out the possibility of making you eat it. ”
But the critic said...... "There was some hesitation on the phone," and the film is a mix of noise pollution and visual garbage and a vulgar plot. ”
"This is a film made with sincerity for fans." Yi Lun said calmly. "Those who, like professional film critics, want to dig something out of it, can give up."
"Then I'll be relieved." My friend was about to hang up, "I'm going to book a ticket." ”
Hanging up the phone, Eren thought for a moment and turned on the computer in the room. Logged on to the Rotten Tomatoes website, found the latest release of "Transformers 2" section, and clicked to log in. I saw that the film was thrown all over Rotten Tomatoes by professional film critics, and on the first day of its official release, it fell to 25% freshness.
Those film reviews are even more unsightly.
"Even if this film is plausible, it is only the most boring, rude, and despicable portrayal of modern Hollywood."
"This 'Transformers 2' is just a pile of garbage."
"'Transformers 2' could have won 'the worst movie of a decade.'"
"Alessandra? Ambrosio's ass and tits. Groove is the only thing that can make Michael? Bey's lens stays at more than 1 millisecond. ”
As Iren expected, professional film critics began to attack again, but the voice was so weak that they barely entertained themselves.
Turning off Rotten Tomatoes, which didn't have much impact on the film's box office, he moved to Ryan Disney Family Online, where there are already a large number of fan messages in the "Transformers" section.
"It's a very cool movie to watch."
"Transformers 2 is further proof that director Michael? With an excellent appreciation for grand scenes and an amazing talent for creating a scene, Ryan chose him as a director, which is absolutely wise. ”
"The film brings together the most popular advantages of a qiē popcorn movie, and magnifies them one by one towards the most significant goal possible, without deliberately avoiding the advantages that have been fully recognized and affirmed for innovation, and this creative idea of promoting strengths and avoiding weaknesses ultimately ensures that "Transformers 2" will become one of the few sequels that can be better than its famous predecessor in terms of overall quality."
"The whole film is full of earth-shattering explosions, firepower attacks, heart-rending screams, special effects at any cost and dizzying action scenes, and all the essential elements of a popcorn entertainment blockbuster are brought into full play, and "Transformers 2" is a super blockbuster that is worth the ticket price."
In less than a day, there were more than 100,000 comments here, and most of them expressed their love for the film, which is to reflect the average quality of the film, and also think that the film is good enough in the Transformers column to be worth the movie's ticket price.
After attending the premiere, Ryan flew back to Los Angeles from Rhode Island, and at his insistence, the length of the film's release version was finally lost to Michael? Shell compressed to two hours, canceled some of the irrelevant content just for the sake of being funny, and the pace became tighter.
Michael? Bei's previous failed films are not unrelated to being too verbose.
You know, Blast Bay never minds making movies extremely lengthy, 2001's "Pearl Harbor" is 183 minutes long, and 2003's "Jedi Men 2" is just a street action movie set in the city, and it can actually shoot 143 minutes, maybe only God knows how many of the abridged clips are Michael? Bei gritted his teeth repeatedly before he cut it out.
It's easy to drag the pace and fatigue the audience.
The time slowly came to midnight, Ryan did not mean to sleep, he was waiting for the first day of the film's box office, after all, the production cost of the whole film alone was as high as 210 million US dollars, even if because of the first fire, a lot of money can be saved in publicity, but the publicity and distribution costs are enough to 90 million US dollars.
With such an investment, even Ryan will feel some pressure.
The door to the study was pushed open from the outside, and Charlize, dressed in a dressing gown, walked over, bent down and kissed Ryan on the cheek, pulled over a chair, and sat down next to him.
"Hasn't the stats come out yet?" She asked with concern.
"It should be soon." Ryan looked at the wall clock on the wall and pinched her face in distress, "What's the matter, you haven't slept well lately, so let's rest early." ”
"I just woke up and can't sleep for a while, so I'll wait with you for a while." Charlize took Ryan's cup and drank nearly half a glass of water, "Every time a big production is released, you will be like this, isn't it a lot of pressure?" ”
"It's not as big as you think." Ryan took the cup from Charlize and placed it on his desk, "You know, more than 30 sponsors shared the $90 million cost for Disney. ”
"yes." Charlize pouted quickly, "My CT Nature Treasure alone contributed $4.5 million, and the Autobot Studio didn't talk about it at all. ”
"Honey." Ryan straightened Charlize's loose blonde hair, "This is already a discounted price." ”
"I understand." Charlize was obviously joking just now, "Business is business, and Disney also has its own rules and regulations." ”
She rolled her eyes, "When the next one is implanted, can we maintain this price?" ”
"You......" Ryan nodded her nose, "I'll say hello to the people in the studio." ”
"The effect is obvious." Charlize put on a serious face, "Since the release of the implanted "Iron Man 2", the sales of CT Nature's full line of products have increased by 25 percent, although there is a summer relationship, but the effect is still very obvious, and my advertising director has recently reminded me to continue to maintain cooperation in Disney's big production. ”
In a plot of "Transformers 2" in Shanghai, nearly two minutes were filmed in the flagship store of CT Nature's Treasure, which will definitely be of great help to the future of the product.
After a few more conversations with Charlize, Ryan refreshed his mailbox, and a new email prompt finally appeared.
"How much?"
Charlize leaned over, watched Ryan click on the email, and then pouted, "It's really disappointing that it didn't break the single-day box office record for The Hunger Games 2." ”
Glaring at Charlize, Ryan turned off his laptop, "$69.05 million is pretty good!" (To be continued......)
