Chapter 347: Under the new version of "The Hunger Games".
In the story of "The Hunger Games", it is too suitable to add this scene, and it is not far-fetched at all.
Most of the other films that deliberately sell meat so that the male protagonist does not wear a shirt are too deliberate, and when they are forced to sell meat, it will make people who are not good at this bite unhappy.
The Hunger Games is different, in the training center of the tributes, how can the tributes not take a shower after a hard training?
It's like an athlete's locker room, don't shoot a few shots of selling meat, I'm sorry for the audience, and I'm sorry for myself.
What's more, the separation between Pita and Cato, spear and shield, embodies their pain and contradictions in the cruel hunger game, and has a profound connotation.
Just spend a little money, and you can get a film critic to publish a few articles.
Of course, the main thing is the convenience of network promotion, yes, it is a screenshot.
Of course, the director himself doesn't like this, but it's all about commercialization.
"Twilight" not only sells the meat of the male protagonist, but also sells the shiny meat, and wants to sell the meat with dazzling effects under the sun!
Vampires can't see sunlight because their perfect bodies will sparkle in the sun, which is really a god-like setting!
The main creative team of "The Hunger Games" admired it to death.
It's so easy to have a training center, how can it be possible if you don't play it!
Cato knew that Pita was next door, and he didn't know if he felt that this cute boy was too threatening, so he punched the partition and roared meaninglessly: "I'm waiting for you!" ”
Pita responded with a determined gaze, as if piercing through the thin barrier that blocked the two bodies......
At this moment, the little girls who swallowed saliva completely forgot about Katniss and Jennifer Lawrence.
Although many viewers who claim to be literary and artistic shouted that the director had fallen. But it couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the audience.
No matter how it changes, as long as the framework remains the same, for North American audiences, "The Hunger Games" is also a good film with a strong attraction in the plot and a certain connotation.
During Caesar's interview, Pita professed his love for Katniss more warmly than in the original film. He also showed off his family's secret meatloaf.
A flash of footage shows that the word "license" and a set of mobile phone numbers are clearly on the meatloaf.
When I saw this, the American people didn't react, and the Chinese people were boiling!
This is since "Mission Impossible 3", "Certification" has once again stepped onto the international stage!
Of course, this is the pot of the temporary workers of the props team.
In order to choose a credible and tall source for the secret meatloaf, in order to win the Chinese box office, the art director specially chose two mysterious logos in Chinese for the Pita family.
Everyone takes the word "certificate" as the meaning of the palace meatloaf, but I didn't expect us to be deceived by the hateful tattoo artist!
No way. It's all the fault of too little investment.
No one knows, just because of these two words, the box office of "The Hunger Games" in China has increased by 20 million compared with the original.
Of course, the credit of the male protagonist selling meat should not be underestimated.
Ning Yun reluctantly found that if he wanted to reduce the box office and influence in the future, he couldn't use such a method.
Outside of China, it doesn't matter at all.
And within China. On the contrary, it has had a lot of positive impact and increased the box office. It greatly increased the level of discussion.
Coupled with the screenshot of selling meat that girls like, if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't agree with Katniss's concept, this film might have exploded in China.
On the final day, as in the original film, Black Miche told Katniss that Pita was going to train alone.
Over here. Katniss shows a greater dislike for Pita than in the original film.
Because compared to the original film, the changed Pita is more active and more enthusiastic.
When Katniss senses his betrayal, it's even harder to accept.
Before entering the arena, Jennifer Lawrence's role. Compared with the original, it has been reduced by more than 20 percent.
Once you enter the arena, you get even less.
Ning Yun left alone in the world of The Hunger Games, without uniting with anyone.
But after the change, Pita does not have unlimited funding, and like the original film, he gets together with the professional players.
But unlike in the original film Arena, which focuses on Katniss's perspective, the camera is more given to Peta.
Unlike in the original film, Peta's behavior is erratic and difficult to understand.
Peta's behavior is revealed by the director at the beginning, and he is for Katniss to break into the enemy's interior!
In the original film, Pita's behavior was very unpopular with Oriental audiences.
In the eyes of North American and European audiences, Pita's performance is normal, and the teenager who brought him in also understands his entanglement and pain.
But the Oriental audience is different, and Pita's sometimes good and sometimes bad attitude makes people very impatient.
If you really love, try to do it, to love. If you don't love, just plan for yourself, so hesitant to what's the point.
Oriental girls, it is difficult to like such people.
In other words, whether emotionally or in terms of attitude towards life, he cannot agree with Katnis's choice.
Even Gale is unlikable because he is too ugly and coarse.
For Oriental girls, even if they are delicate flower boys, they will give me domineering!
Therefore, the original film "The Hunger Games", including the last three, has too many things that cannot be understood and recognized by oriental audiences.
The box office is not good, and rightfully so.
Until the results of the original "Hunger Games" actually came out, no one knew how much audiences in North America loved Katniss.
But everyone knows that the whole world loves the "Twilight Zone" type.
Keeping The Hunger Games close to Twilight is definitely a safe option.
In fact, during the same period, there were not many companies that wanted to eat this soup, there were several similar movies, and even more were planned.
For example, "Key Four" at the same time, and "Holy Grail Artifact: City of Bones" a little later.
In terms of quality, Grail Artifact: City of Bones surpasses Critical Four.
The performances of the actors in "Key No. 4", except for the dog, the rest really have no need to evaluate. The special effects are even more unwatchable.
The two films have the same investment, but "Critical Fourth" has a better box office than "Holy Grail Artifact: City of Bones".
In 2011, the audience was very eager for a film to succeed "Twilight". Even if you know it's bad, you have to take a look at it before you are willing.
But in the years that followed, the audience became more and more critical and disgusted.
"Divergent", which is also Summit Entertainment, has more investment than "The Hunger Games" and has received much less box office. And one is not as good as the other.
Of course, in the year 10 or 1, you can't see the decline in the future, but the prosperity driven by "Twilight".
So the director has almost no resistance to plot modifications like "The Hunger Games".
In short, the rest of the plot is that Cato has a love-hate relationship with Pita (in the eyes of the rotten girl), and Pita is inseparable from Cato.
The Bow Girl is fanatically infatuated with Peta, and Pita is eager to leave the Bow Girl.
The boys of the second district have a special purpose for the girls with bows and arrows. The Bow Girl is in love with Pita and pretends to be a boy in the second district.
The Flying Knife Girl in District 2 is indifferent to other people's feelings, and she herself doesn't like anyone and just wants to win.
In the end, the conflict finally broke out, and Cato and Pita fought a decisive battle, and of course, Pita couldn't beat Cato.
But Cato is also very normal and did not make a dead hand, so. Pita vomited blood again and again, and insisted on getting up to fight Cato.
This indomitable spirit finally completely touched the bow and arrow girl.
The bow girl is mighty. Shoot Cato, shoot the Ward 2 boy, and at the last moment, sacrifice himself to block the deadly throwing knife shot by the Ward 2 girl at Peta, affectionately die in Pita's arms, and ask for cremation. Even if you die, you have to succeed in Pita's guardian spirit, the flame type.
Although Pita is in love with Katniss, she is moved by the deep love of the Bow Girl and kills the Throwing Knife Girl with her own hands to avenge her.
The director's skills are really good. Such a complex plot only took a short time to show itself.
Suffice it to say, every shot is precise and has enough content.
For some well-known practical reasons, the spark between Pita and Cato was bright and bright.
It's a pity that Josh Hutcherson's acting skills are indeed a little worse, and he was suppressed by Sam Claflin.
No matter how it is changed, "The Hunger Games" cannot be changed into a thorough base film, and the room for the base to play is very limited.
It can only be used as a bright color, not as a subject.
Such a plot arrangement, first of all, the producer felt that it was much more reasonable, and later after the movie was released, most of the audience agreed.
Everyone knows that pro players are very powerful and difficult to kill.
In the original film, Katniss relied on his luck against the sky, and then teamed up with Pita to kill all sides, which is a bit too much to watch.
If the pros are so weak, how did the champions of the previous editions come about.
Pita and Cato added a lot of scenes, and Katniss naturally decreased.
As in the original film, Katniss avoids any contestants at the beginning and leaves alone.
The difference is that there are only a few scattered shots of Katniss struggling to survive, and most of the shots are given to Peeta's side, where the story is much more exciting and interesting.
Because of Peta's influence, Katney certainly didn't meet the pros like in the original film, didn't chase and kill, didn't escape, and the scene was further reduced.
In the control center, Peeta was more exciting, so Sinica didn't make it difficult for Katnis.
A few days later, Katniss meets Rue as in the original, and the two quickly form an alliance.
At this time, Katniss had more scenes, chatting with Rue for a long time, making her own bow and arrows, shooting apples, and detonating the mine-buried material gathering place.
Then Rue Xiang dies suddenly, and Katnis, in a fit of rage, kills another contestant to avenge Rue, and the plot is basically the same as the original film.
Unlike the original, under Katniss's vigorous shaking, Rue wakes up.
She babbled about the whole process of monitoring the pros a few days ago, and saw what Pita did for Katniss.
Katniss finally understands that he has misunderstood Peeta, that he has sacrificed so much for love, and that he still doesn't let himself know.
His solo training, his solo strategy, are all for himself!
After saying that a vat was so full, Rue Xiang also told Katniss to find Pita and form an alliance with him.
Eventually, Rue died, and Katniss couldn't come back no matter how much she shook it.
Touched by Rue's death and Pita's love, Katniss burst into tears, fully demonstrating Jennifer Lawrence's superb acting skills.
There was sadness in that crying. There is love, and there is an indictment of the injustice of fate!
Regarding Katniss shaking desperately, many viewers complained later, especially Huaguo.
But the same Chinese netizens also gave a very powerful explanation.
Katniss was born in District 12, which was a utopian society. It can't be compared with modern people, and it definitely doesn't understand first aid.
Although Katniss is the daughter of the pharmacist's daughter, she has a bad relationship with her mom.
Besides, the pharmacists in "The Hunger Games" basically do Chinese medicine work, not that Chinese medicine is not good...... (at length), but there is a real lack of first aid.
is so in line with the style of martial arts dramas, it really deserves to be a Hollywood movie, and the shot is real. Shoot seriously! Look at how many people have jobs. Craftsman. Spirit!
Rue Xiang's death was very tragic and moving, and the eleventh district was violent. Moved.
All kinds of vandalism, Sinica is in a hurry.
The Black Secret intervenes and convinces Sinica not to kill Katnis, giving him another idea.
So Sinica approached President Snow and persuaded him to accept the new rules for the two to win.
In anticipation of the audience, "The Hunger Games" returns to the right path, and Katniss finds the injured Pita (who vomited blood after being beaten by Cato) to form an alliance.
Under the careful care of Katniss. The relationship between the two quickly warmed up, if it weren't for the inconvenience of the live broadcast. It's really going to roll together.
Compared with the original film, Katniss is more entangled and bloody in the choice of Pita and Gail.
Even two people who fight for love insist on not provoking others, but trying to wait for others to die.
However, as soon as the camera turned, the handsome Cato was still alive.
Cato with great force. When the bow girl was shooting, she deflected her body and was not shot.
Later, Pita was busy making love with the Bow Girl who was dying in her arms, and when the Bow Girl died, she was busy chasing and killing the Throwing Knife Girl, and she didn't care to confirm whether Cato was dead.
Cato sneaked away. After receiving the funding of the capital's miracle medicine, although Cato did not fully recover his health, a few days of cultivation also allowed him to recover most of his combat effectiveness.
The other players were almost killing each other, and Cato secretly found Katniss and Peetta.
When he sees his beloved Pita and the shameless Burning Blue Pond together, Cato is furious and vows to break them up and kill the Burning Blue Pool! (Still the view of rotten girls)
Pursued by hungry wolves, Katniss and Pita climbed the horns of Zeus at the last moment.
The later plot was a bit unexpected by Ning Yun.
It's not that the ending has changed too much, it's that the ending hasn't changed at all.
It's not the result of the ending, but the whole process of the battle in the ending is exactly the same as the original film, almost unchanged at all.
But it is this unchanged that creates a very different effect from the original film.
Katniss and Pita climbed onto the horn of Zeus, the two hugged each other excitedly, Cato rushed out from the side, fiercely pushed Ketniss away, and faced Peeta directly!
Sam Clavelin's acting skills are really good, and under the training of the director, he has improved so much that even Jennifer Lawrence can't suppress his brilliance.
At this time, Cato looked at the anger in Peeta's eyes, there was complexity, confusion, disappointment, and hatred, and he almost said, why did you choose Katniss instead of me!
The screams in the theater are up again!
The battle process is exactly the same as the scene in the original film, Cato is obviously holding a knife in his hand, but he punches Pita down, and will never hurt Pita with a weapon as dangerous as a knife.
He refused to kill Pita completely with a single sword, but ignored Pita who fell to the ground, walked to Katnis, who fell to the other side and farther away, and waved the knife to cut her to death, hacking her rival to death!
It is in stark contrast to Cato's gentleness towards Peta!
Unsurprisingly, Cato hacked Katniss to death at the critical moment, but was stopped by Peta.
Again, Cato refused to fight back with the knife in his hand.
Not only that, but Cato saw the scars on Pita's face, and this time he was reluctant to use his fists, grabbed Pita's clothes, threw him aside, and continued to chase and slash Katnis.
Katniss dodged and jumped nimbly in the light of Cato's sword, and if Cato dared to slash Pita like this, Pita might have been cold.
Just as Cato was about to strangle Katnis, Pita once again hugged Cato's waist tightly from behind, holding him in the air, and then reluctantly threw him aside.
Sure enough, Cato struggled to get up. When fighting Peta, Cato simply gave up the knife in his hand for fear of unintentional harm, and fought with Pita intimately with his bare hands and slow movements. As if he was afraid that Pita would get hurt.
This grinding, slowly, gave Katniss plenty of time. She picked up her bow, picked up her arrows, bent her bow and arrows, and aimed at Cato.
At this time, Cato was intimately hugging Peta's neck, reluctant to exert himself.
Katniss was also afraid of accidentally injuring Pita and did not dare to shoot an arrow.
Cato cried out in a dead heart: "Go on, shoot!" We both fall and you win! ”
The audience was so moved by the handsome Cato that they would rather die with Peta. Do you want to perpetuate this beautiful and innocent love that is not understood and blessed by the world?
Yes, in that damn utopian world, this purest form of love would never be allowed to emerge as in the real world.
"Come on! I'm going to die anyway! Cato wept, "I have always been, haven't I?" ”
The audience instantly thought that this was Cato preparing to fulfill Pita for love!
The camera pans to Katniss's face, her complicated expression. The movement of the eyeballs is just as exciting. It didn't make Sam Clavelin, even the hand that drew the bow weak, for a moment.
The audience believes that Katniss must have read Cato at this moment, and must have been moved by Cato's love just like us. Touching the heart.
"I didn't understand until now!" Cato wept and confided.
The audience understands Cato, and it is only now that Cato has truly confirmed Pita's mind, no matter how much he deceives himself, it is useless to lie to himself, he has always loved Katniss!
"How. They don't just want to see this. Cato looked around the horn of Zeus, where there was a camera, and there was a representation of the audience in the capital.
Yes, the audience in the capital just wants to see two people who really love each other kill each other!
I just want to see such a dramatic scene!
If it's the opposite sex, like Katniss and Peeta, the crowd in the capital will bless and hope that they will go to victory together.
But Pita and Cato, so that the love that will never be blessed, the audience of the capital will not want to see the two of them triumph together and be happy hand in hand.
And President Snow, the cruel President Snow, would never allow such love to happen in the country he ruled.
The audience in the theater knows that the poisonous vegetable country is so opposed to pure love. The word beauty is taboo!
"Killing one more person is the only thing I'll do." Cato wrapped his arms around Peeta's neck and spoke in a sad tone.
The people in the theater knew that Cato was a strong man, and at least he had to show a strong manhood in front of the audience in the capital and the twelve districts.
What he really wanted to say but didn't dare to say was, "Loving someone, that's the only thing I'll do!" ”
Cato's head and Peta's head came closer: "It doesn't matter if you bring glory to my district!" ”
Of course it doesn't matter, what is more important than loving one, even if it is someone who should not be loved, even if it is love that should not happen!
In any case, even if the next moment was death, Cato made contact with Pita in the most intimate posture, not to mention that Pita's back was facing Cato's predecessor......
At this moment, in the camera, the corner of Pita's eyes also flashed with a crystal ......
I don't know if I feel something......
Cato loosened his arms around Peta's neck!
As for why he suddenly relaxed, suddenly ran out of energy, no one knows!
Peeta's face was very ugly, and as for why, it must have been because of simple breathlessness!
Yes, they're all satisfied!
Let this love stay forever in pure spiritual contact, and do not defile this love!
Katniss was really moved, and the camera clearly showed that she moved her bow and arrow to a different target.
The silver-white arrow, as if also with sadness, love and anger, and satisfaction, shot into Cato's palm.
Cato let go of Pita completely, completely without resistance, without strength at all, just waiting for this, letting Pita push himself off the horn of Zeus.
For the sake of Katnis, for the sake of his true love, Pita had to push Cato down.
Under the horns of Zeus, wolves surrounded Cato.
Pita stood on the horn of Zeus and stared at Cato.
Katniss walks over to Pita and accompanies him.
Sad music sounds,
Katniss and Pita triumphed, but not the slightest joy of victory.
This is not a victory, this is the end of love.
Cato's cry of pain was heard clearly with the wolf's roar.
Under Peta's heart-wrenching gaze, Katniss raised his bow and ended Cato's pain.
It's all over together.
There is no sweet kiss of victory, only a hug for the rest of the life, and a deep nostalgia for the dead love.
But Pita and Katniss, a new but old love, grew brighter and brighter with the dawn, with the blessings of the people of the capital and the twelve districts.
The radio goes on, Sinica plays with Katniss and Peta, and the new rules are canceled, and only one person can still win.
The audience in the theater knows that Pita has given so much, even killing the man (Cato) and the woman (Bow Girl) who love him so much for the sake of Katniss.
How could he be hostile to Katniss, so his choice must be to sacrifice himself to give Katniss victory.
However, this time for Katniss sacrificed.
If we don't live or die together, we don't choose to live alone.
Sinica compromises, and the old true love of Pita and Katniss triumphs over the new type of love to emerge victorious.
This last battle scene and ending, regardless of the sequence of actions, action details, and lines, are 100% restored to the original film, and they are exactly the same.
But the audience's understanding is very different!
After all, the way the original film was filmed was very unreasonable, and it simply regarded Cato as mentally retarded.
Now this version, it's so reasonable!
All the original mentally retarded places are the cry of Cato's soul!
Even his lines are full of deep meaning!
Even the straightest straight woman, the straightest straight man, has to admit that Cato is deeply in love with Pita, and Pita also likes Cato a little bit.
Everything is so apt and harmonious!
The audience deeply admired the director, every detail has a rich connotation, and it is never like other action movies to shoot randomly.
In the last battle of the protagonist, most of the big bosses of the film are mentally retarded and unbearable to watch.
Only reasonable boss battles like The Hunger Games are what we want to see!
But what the audience doesn't know is that this reasoning actually goes beyond the original meaning of director Gary Ross.
Because the action scene director's friend filmed, Gary Rose basically had no other job except for the review.
And Ning Yun's change just didn't affect the second director Steven Soderbergh, who was just a friendly helper, so Steven Soderbergh was filmed exactly like in the history of the original film.
The exact same action scenes, because of the change of a small part of the plot in the literary drama, to everyone's expectations, have become a wonderful boss battle with profound connotation and respected by the audience.
(To be continued.) )
