332 "X-Men: Days of Future Past" to challenge "Avengers"?
Where is the ulterior motive for a declaration of war? Because the consortium behind Fox is News Corporation, that is, Mercado's company, and Mercado is the hardcore of the Communist Party, and Fox is the conservative wing of the United States.
Twentieth Century Fox Film Company made a lot of money in China, while its parent company, Fox Group, Inc., was anti-China on Fox TV, Fox News, or Fox Broadcasting.
Therefore, who wants to provoke the hostility between Fox and Paramount, the company of the Democratic Elephant Party, and Disney, although there is no need to provoke them, they are also fighting, but some things will force them to confront on the bright side.
Not to mention the complete tearing of the face that can provoke the two camps, at least it makes sense for them to fight again.
Anyway, American society is going to tear apart, so it's reasonable to fanning the wind a little by yourself, right?
"Uh, no problem." When the host saw He Fang's analysis, he couldn't answer, so he had to say that he didn't ask.
"Of course, when I took on this project, Fox's goal was "Avengers," and my commitment was to go beyond "Avengers." So, fans, believe me, "X-Men: Days of Future Past" will only look better than "Avengers", and if you don't believe it, the premiere will really see you. ”
With He Fang's words, the senior management of Fox next to him changed their faces in an instant, but they immediately recovered their faces and pretended to applaud in approval.
Although what he said was not what Fox executives thought, there was nothing wrong with what people said, breaking the superhero movie record at the box office of "Avengers" was indeed the idea of Fox executives, but they didn't have this ambition at the beginning, who said it...... But there's no point in dwelling on who mentioned it first.
"Wow, Director He Fang is very confident, and it is the first time I have heard that Director He Fang wants to benchmark a certain movie and want to surpass a certain movie." The host had no choice but to blow along, after all, he was a member of Fox.
"No way, this is my promise to take this movie. Besides, I think this is no problem, no matter whether the challenge can be successful or not, so that everyone can compete will have vitality, otherwise you are good and I have no competition is not a characteristic of the market economy. ”
He Fang continued.
"Okay, then we look forward to the movie surpassing "Avengers", thank you to Director He, please, we will invite guests to enter ......"
The host didn't know what He Fang would say next, and he didn't know if he could catch it, so he had to immediately end the interaction with He Fang.
When He Fang walked next to the main creator, all the main creators looked at him with strange eyes.
"Director, do we really want to compete with "Avengers" at the box office?" Hugh Jackman asked.
"What, no faith?" He Fang asked with a smile.
"No, it's just ......," Hugh Jackman was trying to explain.
"It's just that we don't talk about it all the time, do we? Indeed, because this is my private goal with Fox, I want everyone to work hard today, to heat up public opinion, and to have a sense of immediacy as Mars hitting the earth in public opinion, so as to attract more fans to the cinema. Don't you think it's a pleasure to use the popularity of your opponents to help us earn money at the box office? ”
As soon as He Fang finished speaking, there was a cheer behind him.
"Crooked Rui pot, He, your approach is very good, but the company is too conservative, so it should be like this, use the popularity of "Avengers" to pull the box office of "X-Men", ha, good." Fauci walked over with the production team leading Fox.
"It's great to be recognized." He Fang smiled and shook Fauci's hand.
"No, I think it's great for a director like you to think about movies."
"Huh, this wasn't a wise decision from Fox?"
"Haha......"
complimented each other and praised each other, and the middle and senior managers of Fox next to them and the main creators of the crew were stunned, and then they realized that the people above were playing high-end strategies.
But the creators were also aroused, just like Hugh Jackman, why can't his Wolverine compare to Iron Man?
No, this time he is going to prove to everyone that Wolverine is also very fierce.
Similarly, who among the other creators doesn't want to act in a movie with outstanding results? Isn't this just for the sake of his own skyrocketing value?
And the top management of Fox, they are also excited, who doesn't want to hold a money-making series in their hands? The X-Men series is going to die at Fox, and they're not bothered by it.
So after such a stir, it is in everyone's interest...... As for whether it will offend Paramount and Disney? This is not a matter of consideration at all, and it is normal for everyone to fight and compete with each other in Hollywood.
If you see that everyone is satisfied, then this is good.
The expected goal has been achieved, and the next step is to go to the other side to fan the flames, but don't rush, first solve the current problem.
As soon as the next guest came up, they gave a thumbs up to He Fang: "He, I'm looking forward to you defeating "Avengers". ”
He Fang generally sighed deeply and said: "No way, this is the original promise with Fox, Fox needs a series of superhero movies." ”
He Fang's words spread as if 'this is what Fox asked me to do, because Fox needs a series of superhero movies to suppress Paramount and Disney', and this kind of words spread in the circle, that is what Fox means to challenge Paramount and Disney.
But Fox is going to find trouble with where you are, you can't find it, because none of Fox's words are false, and the top management of Fox praised it on the spot.
Where did he put the words out, not to mention that fans and peers also had a huge curiosity, this "X-Men: Future Past" is really so powerful? Can surpass "Avengers"?
So everyone is full of expectations for the next premiere, especially those film critics and media reporters who like to watch dramas and make trouble, this is good news, this is a hot spot for hype.
The key is that the relationship between "X-Men" and "Avengers" is that of two brothers under a father, "Avengers" is the eldest brother, and "X-Men" is the younger brother who was sold to be self-contained.
Watching "X-Men: Some Future Past" to challenge "Avengers" is a big drama, it's like a son separated from the family who wants to defeat the eldest brother and become the overlord of the new generation, is this drama good?
is also the father's son, the eldest brother was fully supported, but the younger brother was sold and forced to run away from home, is this fair? It's not fair, so now the younger brother has to make a comeback, to prove to his father, to prove to the world, that I am not worse than the eldest brother, and even better than the eldest brother.
I'm going to take back everything that's mine...... This is where to challenge the relationship logic that everyone immediately formed in their minds after "Avengers", and this logic is the biggest attraction and will arouse the enthusiasm of fans around the world.
This is also the reason why Fox's top management recognized He Fang for such hype for the first time, because the audience likes to watch this kind of drama where the weak challenge the strong, which is topical.
Why isn't such a point supported? Why not?
As for whether such confrontation and hype will make "X-Men" and "Avengers" mutually successful? Will these two IPs become the highlight of the competition every year? Who will do good deeds with bad intentions?
He Fang doesn't care at all, because if he succeeds or not, they will all succeed, and if there is an element in the middle of their success, it seems that some Marvel fans will have a certain good impression of He Fang.
Since some things are established facts, why not associate this established fact with yourself, make yourself a key person, and also play a role in sowing discord?
"He, I'm looking forward to your big show."
Directors Nolan, Martin Scorsese, David Fincher, Cameron and others who came to cheer on him expressed the same meaning to He, waiting for him to challenge "X-Men" at the box office of "Avengers".
"Haha, please criticize more later." He Fang said with a smile.
Everyone knows how to play, and it is impossible to really expose it on the spot, but only praise it on the spot, so He Fang will not worry about someone dismantling his stage at all.
Moreover, he has confidence in this film.
At 7:40 p.m., everyone sat down in the Dolby Theater, looking forward to the release of the "Avengers" movie that He Fang said.
After everyone put on 3D glasses, and then the movie starts, Fox and Marvel's logos appear, it will be a feature film.
From the beginning, there is a strong sense of oppression, and the picture of the future New York City under the dark clouds at night gives people a feeling that the only light in the dark world seems to be the only place to survive in the last days.
That smell is coming, the dark world needs heroes to stand up and save the world and bring back the light.
Although the tone is dark, for the sake of 3D effect, the layering is sufficient. Who knows what the disadvantages of 3D are, so you can't let 3D lose the shock it deserves because of the dark tone.
The walking dead humans are being controlled by the battle robots 'Sentinels', and the mutants are about to be hunted.
After the general background introduction, it immediately entered the main plot, in Moscow, the combat robots are driving the aircraft to slowly gather somewhere, and then drop a few robots.
And the mutants in one of the buildings had a premonition that the robots were coming, and then with a few flickers, they took people downstairs to downstairs.
In another time and space, "X-Men: Future Reversal" made He Fang feel most uncomfortable with the makeup of the mutants, which was difficult to see, such as the flickering of Fan Bingbing's performance, He Fang suspected that the crew deliberately made Fan Bingbing ugly, and the ghost makeup was not ugly.
So in this time and space, He Fang has comprehensively upgraded the makeup of the X-Men, although it is not completely subverted, but at least it is beautiful and beautiful on the original basis.
Of course, some people may say that people in the West may like that kind of dirty, messy, ugly makeup?
Then who is not allowed, at least not in his films. Unless the character specifically asks for it, there's no need to make the character dirty and ugly.
You say that these people are all mutants, just like a human being, who doesn't pay attention to their own image, who doesn't care about their beauty? Should mutants be big and dirty?
So why aren't the heroes in "Avengers" like this?
The ugliness and dirtiness of the characters will screen out a large number of audiences, and the audience doesn't like to see the protagonists ugly and dirty, the protagonists should have a positive image, neat appearance, and aesthetic appearance.
So He Fang thinks that one of the reasons why "X-Men" is not loved by the audience is also the problem of makeup, and he doesn't care what will happen to "X-Men" in the future, but he must not allow it to be unsightly.
The next plot is the battle between the 'sentinel' robots and the mutants.,As I've said before.,How can this fight be upgraded.,It must be good-looking.,You have to see the blood in your blood.。
And to make the action scene look good, one is that the action must be fast, ruthless and powerful, and the other is that the actor's performance must be in place, the body must be beautiful, and then the pain hits the screen, so that the audience can feel the power and pain of the punch.
The action scenes directed by Hollywood's own action directors always have the shadow of drama, although they have the shock of the original hammer, but they are not good at all.
This is the reason why Chinese kung fu films can be popular all over the world, because Chinese kung fu films are really not only able to punch to the flesh, but also take into account the beauty and imagination.
There is also the secret of good action movies, that is, to make the enemy's movements every time the protagonist dodge the past, or skillfully fight back to the past, which is the highlight.
This will make the audience worry about the protagonist and at the same time be surprised by the main character's excellent evasion, which is like this in the current theater, and the audience will scream and suddenly substitute for it.
In addition, the fight is designed to create tension, that is, a group of people are fighting outside, and two people inside are racing against time to find a way out.
In this way, the audience will keep shouting in their hearts: come on, come on, come on...... Come on, come on......
Of course, the ending is to get out of trouble at the last second, but there is a sacrifice, so the team wants revenge...... The real big plot kicks off.
Such a start was indeed a success, and the audience enjoyed watching it and looked forward to the next big revenge battle.
It was after this excellent beginning that the original film entered into a complex and somewhat tedious plot such as twittering friendship, intrigue, and rescue, so the box office of the original film was only $750 million.
Didn't live up to the audience's expectations, didn't have what they wanted to see.
And the current "X-Men: Future Past" also has these plots, but where has it been optimized, that is, the ineffective plot compression of Twitter, the plot level is compressed with the lens during filming, even if you want to cut out the twitter in post-editing, it is impossible, because there is no relevant footage.
So, I'm sorry, you just cut it out according to the shot that was taken, and the shot is clean and cool, which improves the quality of the film.
"Well, yes, it's a great way to handle it." A director praised in the audience.
"Yes, Ho has mastered the rhythm of the movie very well so far, no wonder he said that he wants to surpass "Avengers". The pattern is very large, there are many characters but not chaotic, the fights are exciting, the special effects are good-looking, the plot is compact, and the key is to have a little humor. ”
Everyone still recognizes the first 30 minutes of the movie, there are no urine spots, and there are enough highlights.
Film critics also wrote down in their notebooks the highlights they saw and the 'shortcomings', and the shortcomings in the notebook were very few, probably only for 30 minutes.
