Chapter 727： Reviews are more exciting than movies

"In terms of technology, although the "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" uses the most mature blue-green screen and cg computer technology in the industry, it is a relatively simple multi-layer picture synthesis, and the complexity is more than that of "King Kong". It’s a different story. The free switching between fast and slow shots frequently used is also a technique used only by mv directors. Directors in the film industry disdain to play with such frivolous techniques."

With the development of the Internet, film critics will naturally not ignore the extremely important position of the Internet. This is Roger Albert's long film review in his online column.

"Many people know that the so-called green screen and blue screen are people performing in front of the screen during film and television shooting. Through processing in the later stage, the filmed action can be placed in front of any background. "Spartan 300 Warriors" is to put blue The screen technology and computer animation technology are the ultimate result. Before the movie was released, I watched its shooting highlights. A group of naked **** men fought in a fake model in the studio, and the finished product was compared with the shooting time. Compared with the real situation, this is definitely the greatest irony in the history of film."

"I believe that blue-green screens and computer cg animations will increasingly occupy Hollywood screens, and the historical connotations of movies we will see in the future will gradually be emptied. In fact, not only history, but also realistic elements will gradually be emptied. If anything is terrible, then this is the most terrible."

"In fact, history is never just history, history is the reality that was once vivid. The reason why we shoot and watch historical films is not because we love watching things that are dead, but because people in the past were as excited and dull as we are Passed, sorrowed, rejoiced, because they have a blood-connected relationship with us."

"The trend of blue-green screens and computer cg animations is on the surface the arbitrarily promoted visual imagination, but when you think about it, these imaginations have no foundation. These imaginations are out of the real environment and have no resonance with real human life. "

"This is the enlightenment that movies like "Spartan 300 Warriors" bring to us-when we seem to see a kind of'super reality'. We actually only see the'zero reality'. That is to say, sometimes "Super-realism" and "zero-realism" are equivalent. With the continuous advancement of blue-green screens and computer cg animations, the film’s perception of the external world will also fall into the abyss."

"Why movie audiences always talk about old black and white films? I am afraid it is not out of pure nostalgia, because audiences want to watch more movies that are closely connected with the real world, rather than this kind of strange and ridiculous nostalgia A sensory film with an influx technique that attracts the eye."

Originally, Ryan hadn't paid much attention to the professional comments of Roger Albert and others. After all, their influence was getting smaller and smaller, and in the past few years, he had cut off half of his mouth and suffered from cancer. Maybe only God knows whether there are any movies that have been reviewed.

Besides, since he and Disney led Hollywood to cancel some of the cooperation with film critics, it has directly led to a significant reduction in the income of the old film critics. Except for a few films that must be consistent with mainstream social views, the other party has treated him There hasn’t been any good talk in recent years for starring and leading films.

With different positions and different interests, Ryan simply didn't see it. The other party can see God with half of his eye, and he is not really good at suppressing him blatantly.

If it hadn't been for Nicole to read it to him, Ryan might not have known the film review published by the other party for a week or a month or even a long time.

"Sandy, mom is angry."

Holding her daughter. Ryan said to Nicole who was sitting in front of the computer in the distance, "Well, Nicole, why bother to care about their comments."

"They just open their mouths. They use their pens..." Nicole said with her lips curled. "Or tap the keyboard a few times and use vicious words to deny the hard work of others for a year, two, or even years."

Her voice suddenly rose a little higher. "This is a group of despicable parasites!"

"My dear, my voice is quieter." Ryan hurriedly made a shut up gesture, "You are going to scare Sandy."

"Sanny..." Nicole said her daughter's nickname and looked here tenderly, "You don't care about mother's voice, do you?"

Even if the little guy cares, he can't object, he just glared at those beautiful blue eyes and turned around.

Nicole got up and walked into the dressing room next to her, changed her clothes, came to Ryan, took Sandy, and kissed her tender little hand gently, "I'm going to feed my daughter."

She pointed to the computer over there, "When I left, someone seemed to be posting a post against Roger Albert, can you read it for me?"

"This..." Seeing Nicole's light blue eyes turning around, Ryan had to walk to the computer, sit down, refresh the web page, and take a closer look, "Wow, the reviews are more exciting than the movies. ."

Nicole opened the clothes, freed a hand, and gestured to please.

"Why moviegoers always talk about old black and white films..."

After reading the last paragraph of Roger Albert’s intercepted in the first reply, Ryan quickly repeated the replies to Roger Albert’s film reviews on the Internet. In fact, he and Ni were not needed. You can stand up and network users composed mainly of young people will fight back for them.

As he said, reviews are more exciting than movies.

"Please, who said that audiences like black-and-white movies? I like old movies? Please don't represent all the audiences, okay? The friends and classmates I know add up to a hundred people. Most of them like watching movies, but they have never heard of them. I like watching black and white movies."

"Can you keep up with the development of the times? If not, please stop making some inexplicable comments."

"Watching a movie is enough to get what you want. What I watch is the scene, which is a **** feeling. I am refreshed. Then this is a good movie. You can't ask every movie to reflect real problems, right? All we want is simple entertainment."

"I don't understand what this guy thinks? I just accidentally clicked in here? Could it be that the person who made the comment was an old guy? Then don't just comment on movies made for young people."

This one is more straightforward. I don't know Roger? Albert at all.

"It seems that Roger Albert is famous?"

"I don't know, I searched for the news of "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" on Google, and I got here."

"It doesn't matter who the commenter is, as long as you like it, it will be a good movie for you."

"The "Three Hundred Warriors of Spartan" has beautiful pictures, shocking music, and passionate stories. People watching it are full of emotion and excitement. This kind of visual blockbuster is a good movie to me!"

In fact, this is the epitome of the response of "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors".

The response from the film market was very good. On the first three days, it won a box office of 71.65 million US dollars in North America, and a series of competitors such as "Jurassic Park 3" whose box office is inevitably declining due to time were pressed down and sat on the table. The throne of the North American box office leaderboard.

However, in the eyes of those film critics with eyes above their heads, this film is an opera-like long-form mv. In addition to its connotation and special effects, what they criticize is the random tampering of history, such as pointing out Persia. There can be no rhinos or elephants in the army, but Xerxes I, the king of Persia, was actually a big beard, sitting on the king's house all the time, instead of a bald head covered with a metal ring as depicted in the movie. Sahuan on the battlefield.

The summer file is drawing to a close, and Hollywood has recently lacked enough hot topics. In order to attract attention and the public relations of the filmmakers, the latest release of "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" has become a hot spot in the entertainment media, and they are skilled and flexible in operation. Very tacitly divided into two factions.

Today, Disney’s paper media just criticized the film for disrespecting history, and the Internet media represented by Yahoo argued that this is a normal artistic process.

Traditional media are picking places where the film does not conform to historical records. The online media exemplifies that the film respects history to a certain extent. For example, Xerxes sent a letter to the Greek defenders, saying that there were countless Persian soldiers, and they just shot out. The arrow of the Spartans can block the sun, but the Spartans laughed and said-that would be great, let's kill it in the shade-this was copied from the history books.

The hype on both sides has disturbed and attracted more viewers’ attention. As a behind-the-scenes promoter, Ryan watched the box office of "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" rise steadily, and it only took ten days for the film’s North American box office. It exceeded 150 million U.S. dollars.

This number is incomparable with "Iron Man" and "Jurassic Park 3", but the investment in the film is also low. The production cost is only 65 million US dollars. Even if the marketing and other expenses are added, the total investment is only 110 million. Ten thousand dollars only Regarding the historical issues of the film, after nearly a week, it quickly calmed down.

On the one hand, compared with images, texts are always weak; compared with legends, truth is always weak. There is a history in the world, and if there are more people who have changed, there will be no history.

In other words, history has lost the truth from the moment it happened.

Are there few Hollywood movies that tamper with history? Hollywood producers will care about tampering with history?

The hype in the media is nothing more than a public relations campaign initiated by Jenkins Pictures and Kidman Studios under the impetus of Ryan.

On the other hand, some people finally challenged North America in terms of public opinion. Perhaps the North American media will be noisy because of a small matter, but when foreign enemies appear, the mainstream media will definitely turn their guns.

"Three Hundred Warriors of Spartan" appeared in overseas markets one after another. When the film was released in the Middle East and Arab regions, the Iranian government once again made a strong response. (To be continued...) u()
