Chapter 336: Cameron must have a deep meaning in doing this
"Get a movie ticket, Cameron's Titanic." Robert handed the money to the conductor.
"Okay." The conductor handed Robert the change and movie tickets he had left over from buying the tickets.
Robert is the director of the superhero movie "Dragonfly" series, and his status in the circle is not much worse than Cameron.
This time I came to the theater to watch "Titanic 2", mainly with the idea of learning.
A good director will basically watch popular movies once, on the one hand, he can learn from the technical experience of his peers, and on the other hand, he can grasp the audience's taste, so as not to unknowingly lag behind the movies he makes.
This time, Cameron made "Titanic 2" so big that Robert was itching in his heart, and he came directly to the theater to buy tickets as soon as the movie was released.
He was curious about what Cameron would make "Titanic 2" look like, and whether he could learn from this movie.
He also watched the sensational "Titanic" at the beginning, which left a deep shock on him, and at the same time made his understanding of movies go to a higher level.
After fifteen years of "Titanic 2" was released, he wanted to know what kind of breakthroughs Cameron had made in filming techniques and special effects technology.
After getting the ticket, Robert took a serious look at the name of the movie and nodded reassuringly after confirming that it was "Titanic 2".
Not only did he make this move, but many viewers who bought tickets made this action to make sure that the movie they watched was right.
The reason why this is the case is mainly Xu Nan's pot, in the past, when everyone watched movies, they only needed to roughly look at the name of the movie, and they didn't have to worry about watching the wrong movie at all.
Now that Xu Nan has created the category of copycat porcelain pieces, the audience must add an extra eye when buying tickets, so as not to watch the wrong movie.
In this way, Xu Nan stubbornly brought down the pure atmosphere of the film industry, and the audience's trust in the theater is gone.
Walking into the theater, Robert took a look inside and found that the theater was close to full, and judging from the continuous influx of audiences, it was only a matter of time before the seats were filled.
Robert is not surprised, this is Cameron's work, and it is also a sequel to the Titanic, and the publicity is very powerful, it is normal for the theater to be full, but it is not normal to be dissatisfied.
But this doesn't mean anything, what really determines the box office of the movie is the quality of the movie itself.
Take the movie "Titanic" as an example, after the movie was released, the box office directly set a record in the first week, and then rose against the trend, and it was released for a long time, and even set a record.
The reason why this is the case is because this movie is so wonderful that after watching it, many viewers can't help but buy tickets to watch it for the second and third times, and many viewers can't help but recommend this movie to the people around them.
Later, "Titanic" would be re-released every Valentine's Day, and the box office of each release was not low, and there were even cases where the box office of newly released movies was not as good as that of "Titanic", which was released many times.
Because this movie is so classic.
is so classic that Robert, a director who has a certain conflict with Cameron, couldn't help but buy tickets to watch it as soon as "Titanic 2" was released.
He can't wait to relive it, the emotion, shock, and emotional satisfaction brought by watching a movie.
The lights in the theater dimmed, and the name Titanic 2 appeared on the screen.
Hey?
With the keen sense of smell of a film director, Robert immediately noticed that something was wrong.
You may not know that the name of the movie is actually exquisite.
The title of the movie does not mean that a line of words is written in regular script or official script, and then projected on the screen and it is over.
In fact, most of the movie names are carefully designed, and many movie titles are written by famous artists.
Sometimes, a single movie name can reflect the style of a movie, such as the former Mr. Zombie, the movie title is both scary and lively.
The name of the last movie "Titanic" was carefully designed by the film's artists, and a single name gives people a sense of heaviness.
Many directors don't really care about this, but a big director like Cameron will never ignore it.
This is the basic pursuit of a great director.
But the name of the movie Titanic 2 on the screen stands out as a perfunctory, and the art that designed the name is like just leaving school, and there is no charm at all.
Fortunately, this shot was just a flash, and soon, the official plot of the movie began.
When he saw the ugly heroine Lucy, Robert was a little nervous.
This.
Casting is the foundational and most important job of a film.
For example, a fat man must not be played by a thin man, because that will conflict with the script and affect the audience's sense of substitution.
This ugly heroine is definitely a failure in casting, which will make the audience immediately lose their sense of substitution for the movie.
Why did Cameron choose this ugly actress as the heroine, and what is the deep meaning of this?
Robert couldn't help but think,
If it were to be done by another director, it would definitely be because he was ignorant and didn't understand the audience's preferences, but Cameron might not understand this, right?
He must have some deep meaning.
It's like learning martial arts, when you first start learning martial arts, you can't make mistakes in every move, learn high depths, martial arts are swaying, every move is charming, and when you reach the pinnacle of the realm, the moves begin to go against common sense, which is incomprehensible.
This is the so-called looking at the mountain is not the mountain, looking at the water is not water, and looking at the mountain is the mountain, looking at the water is the water, and the peak, looking at the mountain is not the mountain, looking at the water is not water.
Cameron has reached the deepest level in the way of film, and there must be a deep meaning in choosing a harlequin as the heroine, perhaps to express something with unconventional casting.
After all, this is Cameron.
Robert is actually a fan of Cameron, but he never admits it in public.
There must be some special reason why a peak director like Cameron made the movie like this.
The set is also a bit bad, is it trying to express that kind of rebellion and unconventionality through shoddy sets?
Or is Cameron tired of making normal films and wants unconventional ways to explore new ways of expressing cinema?
It can't be because of lack of money anyway.
Cameron is a world-class director, and he has no shortage of investment in making movies, and it is absolutely impossible for him to make shoddy productions because of lack of money.
When he first filmed "Titanic", he was known for his excellence.
There must be a reason why the set of "Titanic 2" is so subversive, Cameron may want to guide the audience's aesthetics through the rough set.
Or, if you want a rough set and explore new ways of cinematic expression.
In short, there must be a special reason for this, otherwise Cameron would not have been able to do this.
