Chapter 1214

In the 1980s, the emergence of "Raiders" and "Star Wars" jointly created a new era of Hollywood commercial films, and officially brought the concept of summer files into the North American market, thus laying an important position as a giant in Harrison Ford's film history.

In 1989, "Raider 3" was officially released, and the series ended. After nearly 20 years of silence, in 2008, Paramount Pictures released "Raider 4" again, which enabled the audience to appreciate Indiana Jones on the big screen again.

In the 1990s, "Jurassic Park" series became another box office expert. In 1993, the first series won the annual box office champion in North America. The sequels of the series were released in 1997 and 2001. However, the box office and word-of-mouth went from bad to worse, far from satisfying, and finally came to a hasty end.

After 12 years, Universal Pictures has restarted the series.

It's no surprise.

After entering the second decade of the 21st century, the entire Hollywood and even the world's film industry is facing the dilemma of the gradual exhaustion of original inspiration. The quality of original scripts is showing a downward trend, from the Oscar to the summer archives.

As a result, the major film companies have focused on the adaptation of novels, games, comics, dramas and other works of art. The success of the adaptation of youth novels and marvel comics is gradually becoming the mainstream of the market. Last year's "tomorrow's edge", "hunger game", "miserable world" and so on are the most direct examples.

Then, when the adaptation resources also fell into the dilemma, the major film companies have focused on their own copyright library, such as classic remake, classic restart, classic continuation and so on, and gradually began to become the mainstream.

"Star Wars", "Raider", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "espionage", "tiger gall dragon power", "mission impossible" and other series are sequels after the trilogy“ Spiderman "series," magic four "series and so on, are constantly restart.

"The devil Carrie", "King Kong", "ghost hunting and death squad", "eleven Arhats", "young dragon and tiger team", "game of the brave" and other works were renovated and remade one after another; Even Pixar, which has always been famous for its originality, "Toy Story 4", "Superman story 2" and so on, have set up projects one after another.

The most typical representative is the rise of Disney.

After 2012, Disney has become the absolute overlord of Hollywood again!

On the one hand, the successful acquisition of Pixar, marvel and Lucas has created three long-term blockbuster series; On the other hand, it is because CEO Robert egger has opened up Disney's treasure house, his own copyright library, and officially launched all the animation live action programs, and the film adaptation resources are inexhaustible.

Among them, Universal Pictures is in a rather awkward situation, because they are one of the film companies in Hollywood that are not good at making series.

"Jurassic Park" series and "speed and passion" series are their only trumps. Moreover, these two series are examples of good cards, but they have gradually come to a dead end, which proves once again that Universal Pictures lacks a keen sense of smell for series films.

Now, Lang Meyer has chosen to join the Hollywood trend and restart the "Jurassic Park" series, which should be expected.

In 2015, Jurassic world made its debut, with new director Colin trevorrow in charge of the guide tube, and Chris Pratt, who became a hit with the galaxy guard, joined hands with Director Ron Howard's daughter, Bryce Dallas.

Despite the mediocre performance of the media, the overall score of the media was only 59, the rotten tomato index was 71%, and the average score of the mass media was 6.7; However, the popcorn index of 78% and the cinema score of "a" are very eye-catching. Countless people with childhood memories walk into the cinema again, completely exploding the box office.

Finally, the box office in North America was 650 million, ranking fourth in film history; The global box office is 1.67 billion, ranking fourth in film history.

"Jurassic world" and "Star Wars: the awakening of the force", which set off the box office at the end of the year, blazed the big screen of the whole year, and jointly refreshed a series of historical records and wrote brilliance. This not only proves that the strategy of continuing classic works can be successful, but also proves that retro feeling has once again become an important weapon in the market.

There is no doubt that this is a successful work.

Is this an excellent work for lanli? Obviously not.

As a new director, Colin Trevor only made a "safety is not guaranteed" film before, and won the screenwriter award at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. That's all. But his rhythm control as a director is still far less than Steven Spielberg. The rhythm of the whole film is too slow in the first half and too crowded in the second half, It's very fatal for commercial films to affect their impressions.

In addition, the script also faces problems. The theme is too greedy, covering the greed of biological and chemical weapons, the ambition of human beings to boast of God, the importance of respecting the humanities of life and family belonging. It is too complex and too trivial, and all of them are not well explained, It eventually became a Jurassic Park style monster movie - but not as rhythmic and climactic as Steven Spielberg.

However, this will not affect lanli's love of this work!

In addition to nostalgia and memories, all kinds of dinosaurs appear in turn, which is eye opening. It proves once again that the movie is still one of the best dream making machines on earth. All the wild and dazzling ideas and ideas in the mind can be transformed into reality through light and shadow; At the same time, it also proves that there are differences in culture and thought, but memories of childhood are interlinked in the world, and those feelings are the same all over the world.

If Langley can get the chance to play "Jurassic world", it can be called a dream come true!

It has nothing to do with the quality of the work, and it has nothing to do with the box office of the film. It has nothing to do with childlike innocence, dreams, memories and feelings.

The most important significance is that you can be in the Jurassic Park built by Steven Spielberg and become a part of dreams, fantasies and memories. This should be every child's dream when watching "Jurassic Park" or "Raiders" or "Star Wars" in childhood.

Sometimes, there is no reason for some things.

However, it's just a hypothesis. If Langley puts forward some suggestions for "Jurassic world", he is willing to agree with Steven's ideas——

Refuse to eat more than you can chew.

The story should focus on one main line, break away from the thinking frame of monster disaster movie, and more base the core idea on the interdependence between human and nature. If human tries to be the creator, control all threats, and then rule the world, then such wildness will often become the beginning of destruction. Dinosaurs are not the source of disaster, and human ambition is.

Then, around the main line, spend more ink to tell the story and outline the characters, take the dinosaur as a character in the story, reduce the details of the tedious, make the main line more compact and solid, then the overall quality of the film and viewing experience will be fully promoted to a higher level.

The most typical representative of success is Chris parrat's career turning point before taking over Jurassic world, Galaxy guard.

The popcorn works with weak plot and simple story patiently spend a lot of details to outline the characters, create the images of the five members of the convoy, promote the development of the plot with the characters, quickly advance around the main line, create the effect of watching movies with high climax, and spend a lot of time on the bedding of laughing points and colored eggs, instantly detonate all public praise——

The media rating was 76%, the rotten tomato index was 91%, the popcorn index was 92%, and the cinema score was "a".

All the comments were all red, which easily exploded the "Jurassic world"; The box office also performed well, with 330 million in North America and 770 million in the world. It has become the most successful representative work of the first superhero film in recent years. What's more, the original cartoon is almost a small role in the third line, but it has made such a huge response after the adaptation, which is really gratifying.

In other words, in order to satisfy the curiosity psychology of the audience, the monster always becomes the leading role in the general monster movies, but the monster can not show the psychology and change, and is often the object of elimination, which also makes it difficult for the series movies to get rid of the stereotype and fall into a similar pattern of dead cycle.

But if we can turn the monster into a part of the story and focus more on human beings, then the quality of the work will be completely changed“ "The rise of the scarlet ball" is the most typical representative.

Of course, this is a paradox. Once too deep, or no monster, then the box office may not be good; In order to pursue the box office, human beings must be reduced to supporting roles in monster movies.

Lanli and Steven's consideration is easy on paper, but difficult in practice. There is no reason why the work of screenwriter is so difficult.

Apart from all this, for the moment, as an audience, lanli still likes the work "Jurassic world" very much; As an actor, after the change of perspective and attitude, lanli is willing to see his childhood dream, enter an imaginary world, and try to become a hero to save the world. This should be very interesting.

But Lan Li is not a rookie, he showed a shallow smile, "for me, this is a very rare opportunity; But I'm not sure. It's a good proposal for Lang Meyer. "

Such a candid way of answering successfully made Steven laugh and say, "at least, we have reached a consensus on the first step. We can discuss the next thing slowly. "

Steven didn't deny it positively.

The subtext is that Lang Meyer really holds an exclusive attitude towards lanli's joining.
