Chapter 206: Shuai is done
Indeed, for the vast majority of audiences, superhero movies that can guess the general plot in countless ways are actually refreshing pictures, which is not a fallacy, but superhero movies have their own limitations.
DC and Marvel have made so many superhero movies, but how many movies can really be remembered by people for their plots?
Many viewers even forget the plot of the movie they have just watched soon after watching the movie.
More than that, I can't even name the actor.
Christopher Nolan's "Batman" trilogy was praised to the altar, but the vast majority of viewers talked about the series with more guys calling out the name of Heath Ledger the Joker than the guys who shouted the name of Batman Christian Bale.
followed by Anne Hathaway, because the Catwoman played by others is beautiful!
As for Tom Hardy?
Mr. Tang had already warned people eight years ago to wear masks when encountering bats!
It's a pity that no one listened.
╮(╯▽╰)╭
In addition to the "Batman" trilogy, like the equally critically acclaimed "Watchmen", how many guys are able to call out the names of the leading actors without crossing Zack Snyder?
After going around for decades, the most popular actor in DC is not Gal Gadot in charge of beauty in the end?
Okay, you can throw the pot where the audience can't remember the actor's name to the bad movie, saying that it is their brainless intervention and constant substitution, which is why the DC movie is infinitely stretched, but in Marvel movies, how many actors can be called out by the audience directly?
Robert Downey Jr.? Scarlett Johansson? Tom Holland? Elizabeth Olsen?
Or Hugh Jackman, the most popular in "X-Men"?
Putting these guys together, isn't there one thing in common?
The handsome man and the beauty of the woman are the real factors that drive a large number of viewers to remember their names!
In the case that actors have to rely on their appearance to be remembered, isn't the audience who roughly guesses the direction of the story of a superhero movie just watching cool special effects? The wonderful picture is the real reason for their adrenaline hormone secretion!
So, when Dr. Lizard appeared, if there was no exclamation at the scene, they must have been shocked by the picture and couldn't speak!
After all, they couldn't have seen a body like Hulk that instantly swelled and showed flowing skin like venom!
Of course, the particle effects transformed by Hulk and Venom in later generations can't be done at all these years, but the best special effects companies and mold masters in the world are behind the scenes, and the reason why Dr. Lizard expands his body in the dark laboratory is because the swollen humanoid is actually a finely made model, with a blower under his feet, and when the wind blows, the leather mold will become larger.
Just like the inflatable signs of major manufacturers engaged in outdoor activities in later generations, they continue to stand up in the process of distortion.
The flashing lights, in addition to the meaning of rendering the atmosphere, the most important thing is that they don't want the audience to see some obvious bugs, they just need to see the body that grows in the darkness and light, and when the camera zooms in and gives the characters a close-up, the final presentation is actually similar to the dinosaur-like model coat in "Jurassic Park......
And the model that can be worn is naturally from the hands of Stan Winston, a friend of the truck driver!
If everything is broken down and displayed, the audience will definitely not be shocked, but the picture on the screen, that is, the high integration of cutting-edge special effects and top craftsmanship, since it is a new version of the ship that no one has ever seen, it ......
It's even easier to capture people's hearts!
After all, "Spider-Man" under the pure commercial routine sells miraculous special effects!
After Dr. Lizard appeared, the main plot characters have come to life, in the audience's prayers, in the streets and alleys of New York at night, there are bad guys who want to make trouble, when the cold lizard man smashes the ATM machine under the illumination of the street lamp, every huge bang will leave a clear fist mark on the ATM machine!
Under the light, there is an undisguised close-up of the long shot, and the audience is enthusiastic!
O Draconian!
This is the legendary Draconian!
The muscles are so beautiful! Powerful!
After the villain shows off his muscles, the plot has actually entered the white-hot stage, and it is naturally a matter of course for the New York vigilante little spider to meet him, and the battle between the two of them is like Duan Yu beating Xiao Feng.
Even if the little spider relied on his luck to gain the Northern Spiritual Skill, he still couldn't beat Dr. Lizard, who was going to drop ten times with one force.
Isn't the spider silk coming out of the wrist the six-vein divine sword! It's a pity that Dr. Lizard doesn't have the habit of carrying a stereo with him, otherwise, in his BGM, with a fist swing out, there will definitely be a lizard figure surging out!
But even without those bells and whistles, the powerful Dr. Lizard and the delicate and technical little spider are still very interesting, and compared with those gunfight movies in the past, their weapons are more primitive and more exciting!
Spider-Man wants to defeat each other with his fists?
Dr. Lizard stood there and took a wave of punches from the opponent with his chest, and while he didn't move, he also clenched his fists, unceremoniously smothered Spider-Man's abdomen, and blasted him into the sky with an uppercut posture!
Spider-Man doesn't dare to go toe-to-toe with Dr. Lizard?
The lizard doctor grabbed a car and threw it at the little spider on the roof like catching a chicken!
Spider-Man wants to control Dr. Lizard with spider silk?
The lizard doctor was directly like Lu Zhishen uprooting the weeping willows, pulling up a telephone pole, and then waved it vigorously, turning it in circles, almost shouting 'Wind!' Come! Wu! Mountain! 'That's it!
Special effects films! That's naturally how exciting the picture is!
When Dr. Lizard swept the little spider biu~ swinging in the air into the Manhattan River in a home run pose, the villain's toughness was fully demonstrated; And when Spider-Man crawled out of the river, pulled off his mask, and lay on the shore, the audience was smiling like a fountain spitting water.
“Cool! ~~~ This is so handsome! ”
"Oh! The gap between Roland and Robert is just too big! ”
"Hahaha~~~ Although Roland is not as talkative as in the comics, this action of spitting water is really cute!"
“Oh,shit! The visuals of this movie are even better than Jurassic Park! The fight between Roland and Robert is much cooler than the T-800 and the T-1000! They finally don't use guns! ”
Superhero movies are easy to say, but hard to say.
It's simple because you only need to conquer the audience visually, so as long as the plot doesn't collapse, there is a great probability of receiving praise.
And the difficulty is because the visual effects are always tired of watching one day.
Unlike feature films, only those movies that can succeed purely by relying on gorgeous special effects are those that have drunk the first soup of technological development.
It is precisely because of this that even if "Aquaman" is gorgeously filmed, it is still impossible to break various box office records like when special effects films first came out, and now Roland and his "Spider-Man" - haven't they been drinking the dividend soup of technological development?
Everything pays attention to a freshness, although the current technology is not as good as the future, but-
As long as the special effects are reasonable, people will be captured by the amazement at first sight.
It's like being in love.
Years later, you may not know how many times you have dated, but you will always remember the beauty of the first sight.
This, in fact, is the unforgettable greatness in your heart.
And when Dr. Lizard defeated Spider-Man by an overwhelming margin, the law of superhero movies has actually been completed - if you want to make the protagonist strong, the best way is to make the villain strong first.
Although there is a certain difference with Dian Niang's pretending to beep and slapping her face, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, the essence is actually common.
When Spider-Man is defeated, people want to see him win it back, and as long as they follow this routine, the audience will have a sense of satisfaction, which is why DC movies have been failing.
Because of Superman, the audience will have no expectations.
Although everyone knows that the protagonist will definitely win, the strength created by Superman crushes and directly completes the lawn mowing game with the result of winning, so that the audience will not be happy!
As the plot progresses, Gwen's comfort and the emotional line with the little spider are also officially launched.
It's a pity, maybe it's because they know that Gwen will die after all, or maybe superheroes really don't need love, in short, people don't have much reaction when they see the little spider pursuing Gwen.
It's also belonging—okay.
In other words, it's more like expecting the little spider to relax before defeating Dr. Lizard.
Special effects, fights, a bit of plot, in such a cycle, the whole story is also fully explained: when people see that Dr. Lizard wants to destroy the whole of New York, give those who forced and mock him a little color, Gwen's father also goes to the front line to fight crime, and at the same time, Norman Osborne, who was forced by the military to hand over the serum, also wears his self-developed armor and becomes half of the Green Goblin, and he also obeys his uncle's words to protect the little spiders in the whole city, and he is not left behind.
Although the story line of the first part is relatively simple, the number of people in the final battle is relatively large, and the nearly 130-minute movie takes half an hour from the assembly to the end alone; But regardless of whether everyone joined forces to stop Dr. Lizard from destroying New York, or whether the Green Goblin was directly penetrated by Dr. Lizard because of the lack of energy in the flying machine, or the near-death of Daddy Gwen directly by the hammer, in the end, Spider-Man found the opportunity to pierce the degenerate serum that the Green Goblin had dropped on the ground into the back of Dr. Lizard's neck...... All the battles are not perfunctory, whether it is special effects, visual spectacles, or explanations of many clues in the fight, all of them are clean and neat.
After Norman Osborne, who was sent back to the company by Spider-Man, took the initiative to inject other serum reagents left in the company in order to survive, the painful roar that resounded through the laboratory made the audience worry; And when he finished his evolution and slowly got up from the ground, the action of taking the initiative to put the Green Goblin mask on his face was even more terrifying!
When James Cameron filmed Anthony Hopkins with the Kubrick gaze, they used thirty seconds to tell the audience – geniuses and madmen, often just a thought!
In the sound of light music, "Spider-Man" ended, and at the same time of laughter, the scene also burst into applause, for film critics and the media, this is really a neat and untidy movie made against the commercial film outline, just like "Raiders of the Lost Ark", when the background music exclusive to Indiana Jones sounds, people know what Jones needs to do next, but for those lucky male viewers -
"It's so exciting! It's definitely going to have to be brushed twice or even three times! I was dazzled by the fight at the end! Dr. Lizard is a real cow beep! If it weren't for the degenerate serum, he wouldn't have been caught! ”
"Wow! The graphics are so cool! Dr. Lizard can cut through the wall with one punch, which is very consistent with the power of the comics! And Peter Parker is indeed a civilian hero! There's no high-tech on his body, it's all his spider silk! If it weren't for the Green Goblin holding Dr. Lizard in check, he might not have been able to tie them up with spider silk! ”
"The line 'With great power comes great responsibility'!"
"By the way, the Green Goblin in the movie has been modified! Osborne in the comics has a tragic childhood, and in the movie, he is forced to become a supervillain by reality, but I think it's better, after all, we've seen a lot of the scenes of that kind of tragic childhood, Batman is a tragic childhood, Spider-Man also suffered an accident, if the Green Goblin still became bad because of family affection, it would be too boring......"
"Did you notice? Dr. Lizard's effect is so clear! It's so much better than "Jurassic Park"! And Peter Parker's suit, exactly like in the comics! And the picture of him swinging in Manhattan during the day is really cool! ”
Yes, people in this year are still not clear, the drama is placed in the daytime, and the play is placed at night, not only with the intention of covering up the BUG, but also with the idea of saving money, for them, this kind of behavior of daring to directly move special effects characters for smooth fighting is already a very amazing performance, compared with "Game of the Brave", the special effects of the former can simply be thrown into the garbage!
As for Batman?
The kind of movie that flies by editing is not even worthy of lifting shoes for Spider-Man who swings directly in Manhattan!
And unlike male audiences, female audiences don't actually care about special effects-
"Roland is so handsome! At the beginning, the scene of him holding back tears next to Hanks can almost stop breathing! ”
"That's right! He's grown a lot taller in two years! The round little face is also gone, but it also makes his face more three-dimensional and cooler! ”
"There are also shots of getting up from the river and lying on the shore and spitting water! You know what came to my mind? Roland, who plays the fountain there, is as cute as a goldfish spitting bubbles! ”
"Oh, yes, yes, yes! and when he confessed to Gwen, he stopped talking, and the appearance of subconsciously biting his lip was too cute! Aren't there a lot of people on IMDb saying that Reese must be his girlfriend? I don't think it's like it at all! And in this movie, there is no love scene between the two of them at all, it is purely Roland chasing Reese, if this can create fireworks, then what is the situation of the romance film that Roland admitted before? ”
"Yes, yes, Reese and he don't feel it at all, and if it were to be made into another movie, it would be an absolute failure, but-"
- Reese and Roland are not worthy, she will definitely not be Roland's girlfriend, and that Harry Osborne? It's also handsome! ”
"yes—I like him too, what's his name?"
"He? Isn't he the successor to Riven Phoenix? It seems to be called ...... Leo? ”
"Berevan, Leo, don't you think Roland is too miserable in this movie? Uncle died, girlfriend's father died, and he was pressed and beaten by Dr. Lizard the whole time, and not only that, but his friend's father also became a villain? ”
"Oh, okay, okay, it's normal, James Cameron's work, he didn't shoot Roland to death, he is already worthy of us."
"Uh...... Also, the undead protagonist of James' movie is strange...... Bah, how could our Roland be shot to death by James? If you want to die, you will also die, Gwen, that blue pool, okay? Who made her wait until the end to accept Roland? ”
Although the reactions of these audiences are different from those of film critics and entertainment editors, the main creative team cares only about their reactions, whether the audience thinks the fights are beautiful or the protagonists are handsome, these are all views that can bring a lot of profits to the movie, as for professional film reviews? Hehe...... You alone can buy a box office of 100 million, and we will also offer you as an ancestor!
Obviously, these guys can't do it, not only that, but in the case that even the media, the big financier, is on the other side, the guys who pursue the connotation naturally understand how they should comment, grabbing the box office is the fundamental meaning of the existence of commercial films, and their pen, of course, now has to help the financier attract money!
And under the shouts of these guys, the praise appeared in the major media, such as ""Spider-Man" is a very good commercial blockbuster', "The ultimate movie-watching experience that I have never enjoyed", "The birth of a civilian hero - while saving the world, the warmth is also full of the world......
As for the news on Yahoo and the talk on IMDb?
When the hand that makes the rules, the referee who blows the whistle for the game, the athlete on the playing field are all the same person –
Isn't it a reasonable thing to mobilize fans to watch the movie?
To be honest, after making a one-sided bad review of "Home Alone 2", and as a result, Roland's fans bought the box office to 400 million alone, what these film critics said, in fact, it couldn't affect the impulse of Roland fans to enter the theater, but-many times, word-of-mouth and awards, aren't they just for those fans?
After knowing the public relations routines of the major awards and the weaknesses of the major film critics, many of the guys in the circle don't like these things anymore, or in other words, for them, the biggest use of these word-of-mouth awards is the improvement of money.
The most important thing is to be famous and increase your salary.
But for fans, the professional affirmation of film critics and awards is actually the best praise from insiders for their favorite movie stars, who doesn't want their favorite guys to be appreciated by their peers?
Although this vanity appears inexplicably, but—
Many times you can't get to the root of the problem, so don't be ironic, just follow the wishes of the fans, and you'll be fine!
Anyway, it's you who will take advantage in the end, as long as you know this, that's enough!
Therefore, Roland will never refuse the praise of film critics, regardless of whether these guys are sincere or not, no matter how many interests are entangled, as long as his fans feel sincere, then it will be fine, and in the case of a lot of praise, the audience who is inspired by this will be even more - these film critics have sprayed Roland before, and now they are praising him, which shows that they are still very fair, and since they are fair, they strongly recommend this movie, then go watch it!
Not only that, but the lineup list announced by the media is also the key to making the vast majority of them into the midnight game.
How many fans does director James Cameron have?
How many fans does executive producer Steven Spielberg have?
How many fans does Roland Allen have?
How many fans does Tom Hanks have?
And how many fans does Robert De Niro have?
How many more Anthony Hopkins fans are there?
A group of people's fan bases may overlap, but even if they do, the basic disc is terrifyingly amazing!
Because of this, on the night of June 6, there were long queues at the entrances of theaters around the country.
Judging by the chaos, you can't tell whose fans they are.
Of course, the beautiful young lady is naturally a fan of Roland!
Which of the old men above can be more handsome than Roland?
And the ticket sellers of major theaters didn't bother to ask these guys what movies they were watching, paying the money with one hand and tearing the tickets for "Spider-Man" with the other became their easiest job.
What, someone wants to watch "Brave Death Island"?
Are you kidding!
Your idol Nicolas Cage has gone to the stage for "Spider-Man", don't you know how to choose?
At this time, what is the difference between the people who want to watch "Death Island" and the guys who shout "Demacia" at the midnight show of "Warcraft"? - It's like, 'We've got a traitor!' ’
In this way, after everyone entered and the gate of the midnight show slowly closed, the snowflake data was summarized and reported.
They don't even need to classify it, because tonight is the Spider-Man show.
And the next morning, when Ronald Perelman walked into the office on time, the report handed by the assistant made him raise his eyebrows!
While the fat cheeks were shining with an unbelievable look, the eyes were also bursting with extreme excitement-
The next second, an exclamation sounded.
“What??? 10,400,000 ??? at midnight ”
“Oh! my god!!!!! What kind of achievement is this??? ”
