Chapter 726： Sparta does not need tenderness

Even at the end of the intense summer season, the commercials and trailers of "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" attracted the attention of a considerable number of movie fans.

"I like the slow motion scenes in the trailer the most, such as the scene where the King of Sparta, Leonidas, bloodbaths a group of unlucky and ugly Persians."

This is a promotional video on the homepage of yutube, in which the young people interviewed are obviously affected by the constant discrediting by the media, "I know that the film deliberately slows down the rhythm, but in this scene of desperate struggle, the evil Persians Sprinkle blood to your heart's content, it's really cool and refreshing."

There are many people who hold the same opinion. Another young fan also talked about this in the video, "Cool and slow shots, in my opinion, are complete, thorough, and instinctive destruction. It is accompanied by splashes. The blood, the sword fighting part is very attractive.

"My favorite scene is that in the trailer, Leonidas shot an evil Persian warrior flying with a shield. It's like flying a fly. Wow, think about it, how powerful it is! "

At the end of the video, Nicole, who hadn’t appeared in the public for a long time, also came out to sing praises for the film he invested, “If there is no director Zach Schneider’s diverse visual innovations, and only the normal visual speed is used, the continuous bleeding will make The audience is aesthetically tired, and this carefully arranged slow motion shot will keep the eyeballs fresh. "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" is a movie that achieves the ultimate audiovisual special effects."

In the continuous publicity and hype, the film premiered at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood in late July.

The most attractive at the premiere was undoubtedly the collective appearance of more than a dozen super sportsmen headed by Gerald Butler and Michael Fassbender. Although they did not wear the iconic red cloak and red trousers, they When walking on the red carpet, it caused constant screams from female fans on the scene.

Of course, as a boo head for propaganda, a group of Persian ‘undead’ warriors wearing silver masks. With a team of Spartan warriors with helmets and armours, they ran neatly on the red carpet and stood on both sides.

Heroic and strong confronted the mysterious and evil face to face, murdering countless film reporters.

Carrying Nicole onto the red carpet, Ryan just waved gently to both sides, and quickly walked towards the theater. Nicole, who had disappeared from public view for a long time, was not treated coldly by the media like other Hollywood actresses. The occasion she appeared. Almost all are one of the focal points of the media.

Even if it is not a top actress in Hollywood, who can ignore a stylish and beautiful top female tycoon?

After nearly a month of planned exercise, Nicole's figure basically recovered. Ryan accompanied her into the interview area and consciously stepped aside. The microphones of the TV station and the Disney-Ryan online channel were handed to Nicole in an instant. before.

Although there are some rumors in Hollywood, Disney reporters are not stupid enough to ask their company's directors with such questions.

"Miss Kidman, this is your first public appearance in nearly a year, right?"

"Yes. I took a long vacation."

Even though I wanted to say something else in my heart, after Nicole's eyes drifted from Ryan's face, she still said, "A long time job. It made me feel a lot of pressure, so I took a break."

"You are the producer and main investor of "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors." May I ask if you will go behind the scenes in the future."

"Investing and making movies is a job I love very much."

This kind of problem is not difficult for Nicole, "Of course. I will continue my career as an actor, provided that I meet the right role."

"Previously, on'Middle East Online' it was reported that Leonidas and Spartans are not heroes. They are just fascists in another sense. May I ask, Miss Kidman, what do you think of this question?"

"As we all know, the earliest democracy originated in ancient Greece and ancient Rome." Nicole had already done his homework on this agreed problem. "Leonidas and the Spartans resisted the tyrant in order to maintain freedom. They The heroic battle at Hot Springs Pass bought time for the assembly of the Greek coalition forces, thereby protecting the buds of democracy. They fought for freedom and democracy. Nearly 2500 years have passed. Countless historians and writers regard them as Hero, I think this is more convincing than some people’s sophistry."

As for those historians and writers who were all Westerners, they were automatically ignored by Nicole and all the reporters.

After answering a few more questions, Nicole picked up Ryan and walked into the Chinese Theater in Hollywood.

Before the two of them entered the screening hall, they saw the main creative staff after the group photo walked into the theater one after another. Among them, Zach Schneider, who was the director, walked a few steps quickly and caught up.

"Hi, Zach."

Facing the warm greeting from the other party, Ryan shook his stretched hand, and Zach Schneider said very seriously, "Mr. Jenkins, thank you for recommending me to direct this film."

"It turns out you did a great job." Ryan patted his shoulder.

The other party apparently came to Nicole, and then said as he walked, "Miss Kidman, I have heard some news that the Iranian government and Iranian President Ahmadinejad are likely to publish an official announcement on "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" in the near future. Protest, I am a little worried..."

"Zach, you just need to be responsible for the promotion." Nicole didn't raise his eyes. "We'll take care of this kind of thing."

"Well."

Zach Schneider seems to be afraid of affecting his reputation. Now he has Nicole's assurance and he immediately leaves. He knows very well that the two people next to him have won the battle of public opinion with the Iranian government.

"This is really good news."

Entering the theater with a giant screen, Ryan took Nicole to deal with some of the people who said hello, and then sat in the seat behind the crew, "I have seen the hope of selling the movie."

"Don't forget..." Nicole reminded him seriously, "The other party is a country."

"What can they do with us?" Ryan shrugged indifferently.

Even so, he has asked Disney and all its affiliates to strengthen security measures, including the Internet.

Since "Argo", the Iranian government, which took the lead in launching map cannons, can be regarded as Hollywood’s public enemy. In recent years, Walt Disney and several other major media groups have been implementing the strategy of pouring black water from teenagers, always passing Some obscure ways to instill in the United States and the entire Western world the idea that Iran is the source of evil in the world.

"Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" is just an extension of this propaganda strategy in the film.

Of course, anti-dictatorship and anti-tyranny have always been the main theme of the entire Western society. Not to mention the special effects of the film, the subject matter alone meets the taste of the mainstream market.

Although this film has many unique and innovative features in terms of technique, the concept has inherited the usual traditions of mainstream Hollywood films, with clear black and white and clear distinction between good and evil.

In Ryan’s eyes, the image of the Persian is far more ugly and evil than in the previous life. Xerxes I’s body is full of piercings and hanging rings. It doesn’t look like a monarch of a country, but like a New York **** man. The most weirdly dressed modern hippies in the bar.

Also, there are close-ups of Persian soldiers and generals. The image is even more perverted than the perverted characters in traditional American horror films. This is how Hollywood is spreading it to the world, like the Persians. People who are in love must be brutal and cruel in their hearts.

The focus is still on the movie itself, to apply the words of the North American mainstream media-this is a classic battle that took place 2500 years ago, this is a visual feast of swords and shadows, and it is also known as the most anticipated epic of 2006. Blockbuster.

The attractiveness of this film is that, in addition to the social factors other than the film, it is mostly due to its suffocating image charm. The cg composite image quality created by the use of blue-green technology to the extreme has a charm that surpasses the real. .

The dark and warm tones, splashes of blood and tumbling mud are all repeatedly represented. The freeze-frame images of the camera also constantly appear between the fast and slow rhythms, which can easily arouse the emotions of the audience, which almost blends all existing performance images. The tension technique can also make the audience watch it with great interest.

"Three Hundred Warriors of Spartan" is based on a comic, so it should be faithful to the story of the original comics, not the records in the history books. Perhaps the audience who is familiar with history can find the discrepancy, but there is a little bit of it. The magical content involved is to better attract the audience and increase the selling point of the film.

Among them are the strong men who are tall and strong, with eight pack abs, and run like Hercules. Whenever close-up shots are given to these men, the screams of female audiences will appear from time to time in the rear... …

As an epic film of course, fierce war scenes are indispensable.

In the many attacks that the Spartans repelled, the Persians’ tragedy was beyond words. The three hundred people were almost portrayed as gods of war by the film. Dealing with ordinary enemies is like cutting melons and vegetables, in this harsh fight. In the **** battle, the Spartan warriors regarded death as home until they shed the last drop of blood.

This is a movie with basically no gentleness, broad shoulders, protruding biceps and drunken bodies appear everywhere on the screen.

In other words, "Three Hundred Warriors of Spartan" does not need tenderness, all here is strength and perseverance.

The characteristics of the film are very prominent, and the shortcomings are also obvious.

Because they are so attracted by the picture and the rhythm, most viewers will not be deeply impressed by the characters and their characters after watching them. Even the character of the protagonist Leonardo is probably not better than Gera. De Butler's exaggerated muscles impressed the audience even more.

The performance in this film can only leave an extremely dilute mark. (To be continued...) u()
