"It's funny to make a superhero movie dark and heavy."
In the front row of the hall of the State Theater in New York, Stan Lee, with a disdainful smile on his face, said to Kevin Fitch, "does he think he's making a crime documentary?"
Kevin Fitch just laughs. Marvel has made a relaxed and funny route for its superhero movies, which tends to be younger. This is a relatively easy and successful commercial film mode. Although he has some doubts about the dark route chosen by DC Comics, he knows what type Murphy Stanton is best at, as long as the other party can compare Superman with the one he is good at It's hard to say that "body of steel" won't succeed because of the fusion of styles.
Moreover, judging from the repercussions of the trial, it seems that the evaluation of the film in all aspects is quite good. Even though there is a lot of water mixed with Warner Brothers, the low proportion of bad reviews always shows some problems.
Even if he hasn't seen "body of steel", Kevin Fitch is surprised that the superhero movie may face fierce competition in the future. The avenger alliance without X-Men and Spiderman may not be able to beat the justice alliance with the whole line-up.
"What's Spiderman?"
In the back row of the audience, a young boy excitedly said to his companion, "you didn't go to see the trial of" body of steel ". Let alone the action scenes, you just killed all the superhero movies."
The other boy next to him didn't believe it and said, "Doug, just blow it!"
There are more and more people entering the hall of the State Theater of New York. In the front row, there are many colleagues from the industry, followed by hundreds of media reporters and well-known film critics, and in the end, there are the largest number of ordinary audiences.
There was no accident. The State Theater of New York, with nearly 3000 seats, was full.
At the same time, "body of steel" is still showing in 3500 cinemas in North America. After today, tomorrow's Friday will be extended to 4250 cinemas in North America.
The attendance rate of all premieres in North America is not low. Theaters in some popular commercial areas of big cities, such as Manhattan, Santa Monica business center, Hollywood Avenue, are also full.
As Murphy said, after all, this is the top superhero in the world, no matter in terms of fame or qualifications. Superman never lacks fans. Even the failed superman returns, the initial attendance rate is not low. It's just that there is something wrong with the film itself, which can't avoid serious high opening and low going.
For those summer blockbuster sequels, the impact of word-of-mouth is not particularly great, but the Superman series is absolutely an exception. The past failure has brought scars to superman that can not be erased. If there is not a film with box office and word-of-mouth at the same time, it is difficult to eliminate the negative impact of Superman 4 and Superman return.
Since the premiere was held in New York, Daisy did not attend the premiere. Instead, she stayed in Los Angeles and organized a discussion group with nearly 100 members to watch the film at the Chinese Grand Theater in Hollywood.
In the State Theater of New York, many film critics have come up with books and pens, which is their professional habit. Compared with Spider Man 3 and Shrek 3, body of steel has attracted more attention from the film critics.
"Murphy Stanton is a very thoughtful director."
In a manor on the outskirts of Chicago, Roger Albert, who is recovering from a serious illness, sits in his private cinema and says to Richard Roper beside him, "although this is a summer commercial film after all, do you think he will only make an ordinary popcorn film?"
Richard rope shook his head without thinking about it. "Murphy Stanton is a director with outstanding personal style and pursuit. How can he only shoot an ordinary commercial film?"
Roger Abbott looks back. Two Warner Bros. staff are making the final preparations for the show. He turns back to the screen ahead and says, "the answer will be revealed soon."
Because of his poor health recently, Roger Albert can't go out, but his reputation and status are here, and countless producers will take the initiative to send the film to the door.
Although there is a very obvious time difference between the East and the west of the United States, all the advance shows of "body of steel" are selected at the same time.
On the big screen of New York State Theater, the titles of Warner Brothers and DC Comics flashed by, and the film officially opened.
Under the black sky, a group of people stepped onto the land under development in the metropolis. One of them was very bald. They took the elevator to the bottom of the geosyncline, and then a dark gray spaceship appeared.
Naturally, the bald head is Lex Luther. In a few simple conversations, the film tells us that he has a strong government background and is studying a project about human genes. This mysterious spaceship is very important to his whole group.
Lex Luther opens the spaceship and finds a woman in black armor inside
Rising to the ground, Lex Luther told the people around him, "build the new Lex Luther building here."At the same time, there is a flash of light in the sky. It seems that there is a meteor. Lex Luther looks up, and the picture switches to his first perspective. When he switches back, the owner of the perspective has become an extremely beautiful woman standing on the terrace.
Tall, slim, beautiful, sexy Doug saw her, pouring out a string of adjectives, as if to see Aphrodite down Olympia.
The tall woman with black hair stares at the meteor in the sky and seems to see something unusual.
"Miss Prinz..." A waiter came up behind her. "The art auction is about to begin."
In a short line, this woman's dual identity is revealed. People who know DC a little know that this is Diana Prinz, the wonder woman, and she is an art dealer.
Diana Prinz walks into the auction house. When she comes out through the door, the picture changes to a black colonel in a military uniform and walks into the boss's office.
"We have detected a meteorite entering the atmosphere." "But no trace of its fall was detected," he reported
The composition materials of meteorites are very complex. This situation was not absent in the past, and the boss did not pay attention to it. He just regarded it as an ordinary meteorite.
Kansas in the dark, a fireball suddenly fell from the sky, breaking the calm of a huge farm. A very ordinary couple found the falling place and found a small dark black spaceship. When they opened the spaceship, there was a baby in the spaceship. Next to the baby, there was a dark blue dress. The upward side of the dress was a huge "s" ”!
From far to near, the picture finally becomes a close-up of "s", and then the title appears "body of steel".
I can't see too much at the beginning, but the amount of information is enough. When Superman comes to earth, his adoptive parents find that the villain of the film must be Lex Luther, the beautiful wonder woman, who makes a stunning appearance.
The content is not much, but enough to attract people to continue to read.
This film is about the origin of Superman, the former part of the nature is to Clark Kent from anonymity to become Superman as the theme.
Clark Kent, who appeared at the beginning, was not only extremely strong, but also ordinary and no different from ordinary people. However, what he did kept reminding the audience that he was not an ordinary person.
When you meet a burning building, you can save people by your own efforts; when you are bullied by a truck driver in a bar, when the truck driver comes out, he finds that his truck turns into Mahua
All this reminds the audience of the difference between Clark Kent.
When Clark Kent does these shocking things, his first choice is to leave as soon as possible, because he knows that his existence will cause fear and trouble to most people.
Where does this cognition come from?
Clark Kent went all the way north, and every thing he did was followed by a period of childhood memories.
Anyway, it's not a literary film. In order to make it easy to watch, Murphy uses color to distinguish the past from the present.
Now the sky is completely overcast dark blue, childhood Clark Kent's sky is full of sunshine.
With each episode of childhood memories, the sunshine of the next episode of childhood memories will be significantly reduced, and the sky will correspondingly become darker.
"Use hue to metaphorize Clark Kent's world." Roger - Albert nodded, "Murphy Stanton is really smart and sophisticated, childhood Clark Kent is also full of sunshine, rather than hiding like now, why did he end up in such a predicament? What is the root of all this? "
Not only Roger Albert, but also the ordinary audience can feel this. Daisy easily judges that the source of Clark Kent's dilemma is his unique ability. Every time this ability appears, people around him will look at him more strangely.
But he can not get rid of this situation, can only constantly hide and escape.
The camera follows Clark Kent all the way north. He helps others and leaves in a hurry again and again. In his childhood, he shows different things again and again, and even saves a whole school bus from the river
However, what they get is not praise and recognition, but panic.
The students in the school are afraid of him, which leads to his encouragement and isolation; the teachers hate him and think that he only brings disaster; the parents are afraid of him and worry that such a monster will hurt their children
Except for his adoptive parents, Clark Kent can't get any equal and kind treatment from the people around him. As he grows older, he begins to doubt and loathe his differences, but these can't help him.
After saving his adoptive father from a tornado, the panic of people around him about Clark Kent reached a peak. After the conflict between father and son suddenly broke out, Jonathan Kent told the story of Clark Kent and took him into the barn where the spaceship was hidden.
Clark Kent got a set of krypton costumes and a key with a family emblem from the spaceship. According to the information displayed by the spaceship, the spaceship was launched at an extraordinary moment, and the content of the record is limited. He needs to find a spaceship with a life origin warehouse launched by kryptonians tens of thousands of years ago, so as to unlock his life experience It's a mystery.The confused Clark Kent is on his way. He needs to find his true self. (to be continued). )
