Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

  Chapter 185 Handsome is over

   Indeed, for the vast majority of viewers, superhero movies that can guess the general plot in countless ways are actually refreshing pictures. This is not 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?

  Many viewers even forget about the plot of the movie they just watched shortly after watching the movie.

  More, even the names of the actors, I couldn't name them.

Christopher Nolan's "Batman" trilogy has been hailed, but when most viewers talk about this series, the guy who calls out the name of the clown Heath Ledger is better than the guy who calls Batman Christian- Guys with the Bell name, lots and lots of them.

   Followed by Anne Hathaway, because the Catwoman played by her is beautiful!

   As for Tom Hardy?

  Teacher Tang warned people eight years ago that they should wear masks when they encounter bats!

   Unfortunately no one listened.

  ╮(╯▽╰)╭

  In addition to the "Batman" trilogy, like what is the same critically acclaimed "Watchmen", how many guys can name the leading actors without crossing Zack Snyder?

  Going around for decades, the most popular actor in DC, isn’t Gal Gadot in charge of beauty in the end?

Well, you can throw the blame that the audience can't remember the actor's name to the bad movie, saying that it's their brainless intervention and constant replacement, which caused the DC movie to pull the hips infinitely, but in the Marvel movie, it can be directly heard by the audience. How many actors called out their names?

  Robert Downey Jr.? Scarlett Johansson? Tom Holland? Elizabeth Olsen?

   Or the most popular Hugh Jackman in "X-Men"?

  Put these guys together, isn't there a commonality?

  The men are handsome, the women are beautiful, and their looks are the real factors that drive a large number of audiences to remember their names!

  Under the circumstance that the actors have to rely on their good looks to be remembered, the audience who roughly guessed the direction of the story of the superhero movie, didn’t they just watch the cool special effects? The wonderful picture is the real reason for their adrenal hormones to be secreted crazily!

  So, when Dr. Lizard appeared, if there were no exclamations at the scene, they must have been shocked speechless by the picture!

   After all, it is impossible for them to have seen the scene where Hulk's body swells instantly and the skin flows like venom!

Of course, the particle effects of Hulk and Venom's transformation in later generations can't be done at all these years, but the world's best special effects companies and mold masters are behind the scenes. The reason why Dr. Lizard swells his body in a dark laboratory , because the inflated human figure is actually a finely crafted model, with a blower under the feet, and the leather mold will become bigger when the wind blows.

  Like the inflatable signs used by major manufacturers for outdoor activities in the later generations, they continue to stand upright during the twisting process.

The flickering lights, in addition to the meaning of exaggerating the atmosphere, the most important thing is that the audience does not want to see some obvious bugs, they only need to see the growing body in the dark and light, and when the camera pulls Recently, when close-ups are given to the characters, the final appearance is actually similar to the leather-covered dinosaur-like model coat in "Jurassic Park"...

  The model that can be worn is naturally made by the truck driver's friend, Stan Winston!

If everything is shown separately, the audience will definitely not feel shocked, but the picture on the screen is a high degree of fusion of cutting-edge special effects and top-notch craftsmanship. Since it is a new version of the ship that no one has ever seen before, That…

   It's even easier to capture people's hearts!

   After all, "Spider-Man" under the purely commercial routine sells amazing special effects!

After the appearance of Dr. Lizard, the main plot characters have already come alive. Amidst the prayers of the audience, bad guys who want to make trouble appear in the streets and alleys of New York at night. When the ATM machine was smashed open, every loud bang would leave a clear and incomparable fist mark on the perfectly stitched ATM machine!

  Under the light, the long-shot close-up without any concealment made the audience's blood boil!

  Dragon people!

   This is the legendary Tianlongren!

  The muscle lines are so beautiful! Full of power!

  After the villain shows off his muscles, the plot has actually entered a feverish stage. It is natural for Little Spider, the New York vigilante, to meet him, and the battle between the two of them is like Duan Yu fighting Xiao Feng.

  Even if the little spider obtained the Beiming magical power by luck, he still couldn't beat Dr. Lizard, who had dropped ten times.

   Isn't the spider silk coming out of the wrist the Six Meridians Excalibur! It's a pity that Dr. Lizard doesn't have the habit of carrying a stereo with him, otherwise, in his BGM, if he swings his fist, there will definitely be a lizard silhouette surging out!

But even without those bells and whistles, the powerful Dr. Lizard and the delicate and skilled little spider are still very interesting. Compared with those gunfight movies in the past, their weapons are more primitive and more explosive. !

  Spiderman wants to beat each other with his fists?

Dr. Lizard stood there and received a wave of punches from the opponent with his chest. While standing still, he also clenched his fists, and unceremoniously slammed towards Spider-Man's abdomen. With an uppercut posture, he It hit the sky!

  Spider-Man dare not go head-to-head with Dr. Lizard?

  Dr. Lizard picked up a car and threw it at the little spider on the roof just like catching a chicken!

  Spider-Man wants to use spider silk to control Dr. Lizard?

  Dr. Lizard was just like Lu Zhishen pulling up a weeping willow. He pulled up a telegraph pole, then waved it vigorously, turning it in a circle, and almost shouted "Wind!" Come! Wu! Mountain! 'It's gone!

  Special effects film! That is naturally how the picture is so explosive!

When Dr. Lizard swept the swinging little spider biu~ into the Manhattan River with a home run posture, the villain's toughness was fully demonstrated; and when Spider-Man crawled out of the river, he pulled off his mask , When lying on the shore, the scene of spitting water like a fountain made the audience smile.

   "Cool!~~~This is really cool!"

   "Oh! The gap between Roland and Robert is really too big!"

   "Hahaha~~~ Although Roland doesn't have the same talkativeness as in the comics, the action of spitting water is really cute!"

   "Oh, shit! The visuals in this movie are better than Jurassic Park! The fighting between Roland and Robert is much better than T-800 fighting T-1000! They finally don't use guns!"

  Superhero movies are easy to say, but difficult to say.

  It is simple because it only needs to conquer the audience visually, so as long as the plot does not collapse, there is a high probability of receiving good reviews.

   But it is difficult because the visual effects will always be tired one day.

  Different from feature films, the only movies that can succeed purely with gorgeous special effects are those that have benefited from technological development.

It is precisely because of this that even if "Sea King" is brilliantly shot, it is still impossible to break various box office records like when the special effects film first came out, and now Roland and his "Spiderman"—haven't they just been drinking technology? A bonus for development?

   Everything should be fresh, although the current technology is not as good as the future, but—

  As long as the special effects are justifiable, people will be captured by the surprise at first sight.

   It's like falling in love.

  After many years, you may not know how many people you have dated with, but you will always remember the beauty when you first saw your heart.

  This, in fact, is the unforgettable greatness in your heart.

   And when Dr. Lizard defeated Spider-Man with an overwhelming advantage, another law of superhero movies has actually been completed-the best way to make the protagonist strong is to make the villain strong first.

  Although there is a certain difference from the pretending to be beeping in the face, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger in the s of Dianniang, the essence is actually the same.

  Spider-Man is defeated, and people hope to see him winning back. As long as this routine is filmed, the audience will have a sense of satisfaction, which is why DC movies have always failed.

   Because there is Superman, the audience will not have expectations.

  Although everyone knows that the protagonist will definitely win, the overwhelming strength created by Superman directly completes the mowing game with the result of winning. In this way, 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, when people see the little spider pursuing Gwen, they don't have much reaction.

   also belongs to — okay.

   In other words, it was more like looking forward to the nerve relaxation before the little spider defeated Dr. Lizard.

Special effects, fighting, a little plot, in this cycle, the whole story is also fully explained: when people see that Dr. Lizard wants to destroy the whole of New York and give those who persecuted and laughed at him a little color, Gwen's old man Dad also went to the front line to fight crime. At the same time, Norman Osborn, who was forced by the military to hand over his serum, also wore the armor developed by himself and became a half-green goblin. He also obeyed his uncle's words to protect the whole world. The city's little spiders did not fall behind either.

Although the story line of the first part is relatively simple, there are more people in the final decisive battle. The nearly 130-minute movie took half an hour from the assembly to the end; Dr. Lizard destroyed New York, or the Green Goblin was directly penetrated by Dr. Lizard because of the lack of energy of the aircraft, or Gwen was directly hammered to the brink of death. In the end, Spider-Man found the opportunity and dropped the Green Goblin on the ground. The serum stuck into the back of Dr. Lizard's neck... All the battles were not perfunctory at all, whether it was special effects, visual spectacle, or the explanation of many clues in the fight, they were all clean and neat.

After Norman Osborn, who was sent back to the company by Spider-Man, voluntarily injected 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 evolved Finished, when he slowly got up from the ground, the action of actively putting the green goblin mask on his face was even more creepy!

  When James Cameron used Kubrick's gaze to shoot Anthony Hopkins, they used thirty seconds to tell the audience that a genius and a madman are often only in one thought!

In the sound of brisk music, "Spider-Man" came to an end. While laughing, there were applause at the scene. For film critics and the media, this is really a neat film based on the outline of a commercial film. Can't be in a neat movie, just like "Raiders of the Lost Ark", when the background music dedicated to Indiana Jones sounds, people know what Jones needs to do next, but for those lucky male audiences—

   "It's so exciting! It must be a second or even a third brush! The last part of the fight dazzled me! Dr. Lizard is really awesome! If it weren't for the degenerated serum, he would definitely not be caught!"

"Wow! The picture is really cool! Dr. Lizard can punch through the wall directly, which is very consistent with the power of a few punches in the comics! And Peter Parker is indeed a common hero! He doesn't have any high-tech , all thanks to his spider silk! If it wasn’t for the Green Goblin to restrain Dr. Lizard, he might not be able to tie him up with the spider silk!”

   “The line ‘With great power comes great responsibility’ is awesome!”

"By the way, the Green Goblin in the movie has been modified! In the comics, Osborn had a tragic childhood, but in the movie, he is forced to become a super villain by reality, but I think this is better. After all, we have seen too much drama about the tragic childhood, Batman is a tragic childhood, Spiderman also encountered an accident, if the Green Goblin turned bad because of family affection, it would be too boring..."

"Have you noticed? The effect of Dr. Lizard is so clear! It's much better than "Jurassic Park"! And Peter Parker's suit is exactly the same as in the comics! And the picture of him swinging on a swing in Manhattan during the day , is really cool!"

Yes, people these days still don’t know that literary dramas are placed during the day and fighting dramas are placed at night, not only with the intention of covering up bugs, but also with the idea of ​​saving money. For them, this kind of dare to directly move special effects characters for smooth The fighting behavior is already a very amazing performance. Compared with "Game of the Brave", the special effects of the former can be thrown into the trash!

   As for Batman?

  The kind of movie that relies on editing to fly to the sky is not even worthy of giving the shoes of Spider-Man who is directly swinging in Manhattan!

   Unlike male audiences, what female audiences care about is not actually special effects—

   "Roland is so handsome! At the beginning, the scene of him holding back tears next to Hanks can make people stop breathing!"

   "Yes! He has grown a lot in two years! His round face is gone, but it also makes his face more three-dimensional and cooler!"

   “And the shot of getting up from the river and lying on the bank spitting water! You know what I was thinking? Roland playing the fountain there is as cute as a goldfish spitting bubbles!”

"Oh, yes yes yes! And when he confessed to Gwen, he hesitated to speak, and the subconscious biting of his lips is so cute! Not many people said on IMDb before, Reese must be him Is it his girlfriend? I don’t think it looks like that at all! And in this movie, there is no love scene between the two of them at all. It’s purely Roland chasing Reese. What's the situation?"

   "Yes, yes, Reese and he have nothing to do with each other, and in any other movie, it would be a complete failure, but—"

   "—Reese and Roland are not worthy, she will definitely not be Roland's girlfriend, and that Harry Osborn? He is also very handsome!"

   "Yes—I like him too, what's his name?"

   "Him? Isn't he the successor of River Phoenix? It seems to be called... Leo?"

"Stop Ruifan and Leo, don't you guys think Roland is too miserable in this movie? His uncle died, his girlfriend's father died, and he was beaten by Dr. Lizard during the whole process. Not only that, his friend's Dad also became a villain?"

   "Oh, it's okay, it's normal, James Cameron's work, he is already worthy of us for not shooting Roland to death."

   "Uh... That's right, it's strange that the protagonist of James' movie is not dead... Bah, bah, how could our family Roland be shot to death by James? Gwen's **** will die if he dies? Who told her to accept Roland at the end?"

Although the reactions of these audiences are different from those of film critics and entertainment editors, what the main creative team cares about is actually only their reactions. Whether the audience thinks the fight is beautiful or the protagonist is handsome, these are all things that can bring a lot of profits to the movie. Opinion, as for professional film critics? Hehe... You can buy a box office of 100 million by yourself, and we will treat you as an ancestor!

Obviously, these guys can't do it, not only that, but when even the big money lord of the media is on the other side, the guys who pursue connotation naturally understand how they should comment, grabbing the box office is the fundamental meaning of the existence of commercial movies, and Their pens, of course, now have to help the benefactor absorb money!

And under the waving flag of these guys, the praises of the sky appeared on the major media, such as ""Spider-Man" is a very good commercial blockbuster", "the ultimate movie-watching experience that has never been enjoyed before." , 'The Birth of a Civilian Hero—While saving the world, warmth is also filling the world'...

   As for news on Yahoo and buzz on IMDb?

  When the hand who makes the rules, the referee who blows the game whistle, and the players on the playing field are the same person—

   Isn't mobilizing movie fans to watch movies a reasonable thing?

To be honest, after the one-sided negative reviews of "Home Alone 2", and Roland's fans alone, he abruptly bought the box office to 400 million, what these film critics said actually couldn't affect it. Roland fans have the urge to enter the theater, but—a lot of times, word of mouth and awards are just for those fans, aren't they?

After knowing the public relations routines of the major awards and the weaknesses of the major film critics, many people in the mixed circle don't like these things anymore, or in other words, for them, the biggest use of these word-of-mouth awards is money Boost above.

  Being famous and increasing the salary is the most important thing.

   But for fans, the professional affirmation of film critics and awards is actually the best compliment from insiders for their favorite movie stars. Who doesn’t want their favorite guys to be appreciated by their peers?

  Although this kind of vanity appeared inexplicably, but—

  Many times you can’t find out the root of the problem, so don’t be fooled, just follow the fan’s wishes and you’ll be fine!

  Anyway, you are the one who takes 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 conflicts of interest there are in it, as long as his fans feel sincere, that's fine. There are even more encouraging audiences—these film critics have criticized Roland before, and now they are praising him again, which shows that they are still very fair, and since they are fair and strongly recommend this movie, then go watch it!

  Not only that, the lineup announced by the media is also the key to making most of them enter the midnight field.

  How many fans does director James Cameron have?

  How many fans does producer Steven Spielberg have?

  How many fans does Roland Allen have?

  How many fans does Tom Hanks have?

  How many fans of Robert De Niro?

  How many fans of Anthony Hopkins are there?

   The fan bases of a group of people may overlap, but even if they overlap, the basic disk is terrifying!

  Because of this, on the night of June 6th, there were long queues at the entrances of theaters everywhere.

   Judging from the chaotic scene, you can't tell whose fans they are.

  Of course, the beautiful young lady is naturally a fan of Roland!

   Of those old men above, which one is more handsome than Roland?

   And the conductors of the major theaters didn't even bother to ask what movie these guys were watching. Paying the money with one hand and tearing up the "Spider-Man" ticket with the other hand became their easiest job.

  What, someone wants to watch "Into the Deadly Island"?

   What a joke!

  Your idol Nicolas Cage has gone to stand for "Spider-Man", don't you know how to choose?

  At this time, what is the difference between a person who wants to watch "Brave" and a guy who yells "Demacia" at the midnight show of "Warcraft"? —It's like, 'There's a traitor among us! '

  In this way, after everyone entered the venue and the gate of the midnight venue slowly closed, the snowflake-like data was summarized and reported.

  They don't even have to categorize, because tonight is just Spider-Man.

  The next morning, when Ronald Perelman walked into the office on time, the assistant handed over the report, which made him raise his eyebrows while sipping coffee!

   Fat cheeks gleamed with an unbelievable expression, and extreme excitement burst out from his eyes—

  The next second, an exclamation sounded.

   "What??? 10.4 million in the midnight show???"

   "Oh! mygod!!! What grade is this???"

   Note: ① The special effects of Dr. Lizard written in the article could be realized at that time. In the later tidbits of "Jumanji", there is the production of the crocodile expansion model. And in the later tidbits of "Men in Black", those aliens with flexible joints are all computer special effects. As for why other families are still using models, these movies have already had full special effects? That’s because Industrial Light & Magic gave priority to their own projects, and they were a monopoly at that time, so their own people were the first to eat the monopoly dividend. ②'Kubrick's gaze' is a method of shooting close-ups of people's faces. To put it simply, it is to stare at the camera and roll their eyes. This is how Hannibal examines people. At the end of "Detective Chinatown" The little girl’s scrutiny was also shot in the same way. To put it bluntly, the relationship between the creepy shots and acting skills is actually not that big, but the shooting technique that applies the uncanny valley theory to make you creepy. It belongs to psychology. practical use in the film.
