For any film adaptation, how to be faithful to the original book is a threshold that cannot be crossed.

deviates too far from the original work, and it will inevitably be resisted by fans of the original work. At that time, box office revenues were inevitably affected.

You must know that fans of the original book are the basic plate of the adapted movie.

The reason why most of the producers of adapted movies are willing to spend money to buy the copyrights of some famous works for adaptation is to have a group of basic audiences in advance.

This will make it very easy to promote the film in the later stages.

Therefore, it is very unfeasible to over-adapt and annoy most fans of the original work.

But on the other hand, the adaptation cannot be 100% close to the original work.

This one really can't.

After all, the medium of adaptation of a movie and the original book may be different, whether it is a comic book or even a TV series, it has a longer time and length to tell the story than the movie.

After it is adapted into a movie, the storyline must be streamlined, otherwise it will be like Griffith's "The Party Fights Differently", so that the audience will have to bring quilts and pillows to watch the movie.

In that case, no matter how well the movie is made, there is no urine spot at all during the whole process, and over time, the audience's endurance cannot overcome the bladder capacity.

What's more, the general practice is that the ticket price of a movie will not increase in proportion to the length of the movie, and the ticket price of a 120-minute movie cannot be 1/3 more than the ticket price of a 90-minute movie.

The ticket price of many 120-minute movies is basically similar to that of 90-minute movies.

In this case, how can filmmakers and theaters that make a living from profit allow directors to shoot movies too long in order to conform to the original work?

Moreover, there are also problems with the fact that the movie is too close to the original book

Those fans of the original will lose the freshness.

Some fantasy stories are okay, the audience understands the plot in advance, and they can also watch special effects and watch various fantasy scenes.

After all, although the human brain can be supplemented by imagination, it is still impossible to achieve the grand effect in a big-budget movie.

But some movies with plot as the main selling point are more troublesome.

Reading the story you already know again, and you can't chew the text like reading a book, it naturally feels very ordinary.

Therefore, the plot of the adapted movie needs to be different from the original book.

And the degree of mastery of this is a great test of the skills of directors and producers.

However, for Charlotte, this aspect of things is relatively simple

Because he can refer to "Hell Detective" in the original world.

That version of "Hell Detective", in addition to the problems of the movie itself such as the plot being too obscure and the story rhythm not being well grasped, the most criticized by fans of the original "Constantine" is actually that Keanu Reeves's Konstantin is too far from the original owner's image.

Although even those die-hard fans of the original book admit that the original Keanu Reeves version of Konstantin is actually handsome and cool, it is too different from the image of the original book after all.

This makes the fans of the original comics have very low support for that version of "Hell Detective".

This is also an important reason why the version of "Hell Detective" in Charlotte's original world did not perform well at the box office.

I've lost my basic disk!

Therefore, when filming "Detective Hell" in this world, Charlotte made magic changes to many places.

One of the most important points is the design of Konstantin's character image

It's not just a simple change in Keanu Reeves' appearance to make him grow a beard.

What's more, in many of the plot designs of the movie, Konstantin's complex and unscrupulous character is emphasized.

For this reason, he also invited the author of the original story of the comic to also participate in the screenwriting, and even Neil Gaiman, who had matched him before, was pulled by him to come up with a lot of ideas.

Therefore, his version of "Hell Detective", although the main plot is not much different from the version in his original world, it is completely different in terms of character lines and many details.

It can be said that the characters in this version are more three-dimensional, and there are more meanings between the lines, but on the surface, they are very easy to understand.

At least even if the audience hasn't read the original comic, it's easy to understand the most superficial meaning.

And this is enough for the audience to understand the overall storyline.

As for the deeper part, Charlotte's purpose is:

Welcome to the second brush!

Episodes like Konstantin persuading Angela not to awaken her yin and yang eye abilities are a typical example.

Fans of the original comics can understand the meaning and will only think that this is very Constantine.

Sensitive viewers can see Konstantin's hesitation and deliberateness, and realize the complexity of the character of this hellish detective, thus igniting an interest in a second brush and a closer look.

And generally just to watch the audience of the movie, the most superficial meaning of the movie is enough for them to be satisfied.

As for the problem that they didn't understand the deeper meaning and contributed less to a second-swipe movie ticket, Charlotte was not worried at all.

This world is full of all kinds of film critics who like to interpret movies randomly!

Many times, the director is simply a very ordinary shot, and they can interpret eighteen meanings. Not to mention the deep meaning that Charlotte has now.

It's really not good, Charlotte can also prepare an official version of the interpretation guide and find the gunman to release it!

As long as the initial box office of the movie meets expectations, the second swipe of movie tickets will definitely be indispensable.

Of course, the second brush is a second brush after all.

In the premiere of the movie, the story continues

In order to help Angela awaken the yin and yang eyes that have been subconsciously closed by her, Konstantin prepares a bathtub full of water.

Just like he used to go to hell through water to find Isabel's soul, water is the passage between yin and yang, and Angela must immerse herself in water if she wants to awaken her yin and yang eyes and see hidden clues.

This is also the reason why Konstantin filled a bathtub of water.

And then

"Am I going to strip naked or do I wear it?"

Angela asked a somewhat awkward, but very realistic, question.

"Well, I'm thinking about ......"

The atmosphere that had been very serious was lightened up by a wicked smile from Konstantin.

In the screening hall, many male audiences swallowed their saliva because of this clip

Although in Hollywood, Jodie Foster has never been shown to be sexy and in good shape.

However, she is still a blonde beauty after all.

And in this scene of the movie, the coexistence of weakness and strength of Angela played by her is even more vividly expressed, which makes people can't help but want to explore deeply.

Like Andrew Parker, who was originally here to keep an eye on his girlfriend Diana, he was looking forward to it at this time.

Of course, as a veteran movie fan, Andrew also knows that the probability of Jodie Foster taking off her underwear next is actually very low.

After all, "Hell Detective" is a serious commercial production, and it is not rated R, so it is unlikely that there will be such overly obvious shots.

"If only these so-called art films!"

Andrew muttered quietly.

Art films have always been known for their boldness.

And as a high school teacher, Andrew, who tends to be conservative, has always scoffed at this so-called art.

Sometimes he even thinks that these "art" films are not as good as the specialties of the San Fernando Valley, at least they can teach teenagers "technology".

Although, as a teacher, he can't say this to his students in person.

In short, as a veteran movie fan who tends to watch movies more towards commercial films such as science fiction movies, Andrew doesn't like art movies that moan without disease.

However, at this moment, he was seduced by the image of Angela played by Jodie Foster, but he was a little shaken.

Of course, in the end, just as Andrew guessed, after seemingly thinking about it for a while, Konstantin on the big screen still didn't ask Angela to take off her clothes.

At this moment, Andrew even felt that he had heard a lot of sighs of disappointment.

There must be a lot of male viewers who are disappointed, right?

Richard Manson laughed in his heart,

When was the last time Jodie Foster showed this kind of seductive flair in a movie?

As a senior film critic, Richard was also pleasantly surprised by Jodie Foster's performance this time,

Although the role of Angela, on the whole, is still the image category she is best at in the past, I didn't expect that after Charlotte Booth's discovery, there would be such an unexpected discovery......

Richard Manson is more and more optimistic about the movie "Detective Hell".
