When I saw that Ang Lee's Mandarin blockbuster won numerous awards at major awards ceremonies, it reminded me of Peter Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings" and "King Kong" a few years ago. . Whether it's special effects or plot, all the big scenes in the movie amaze me. But then Hollywood blockbuster every year, unintentionally repeated impact on my visual nerves. Suddenly I remembered the aesthetic fatigue that Fei Lao said, and I was really tired of watching movies for so many years.
From "The Lord of the Rings: The Lord of the Rings: The Lord of the Rings" in 2001, we first experienced this magical world built by a New Zealand team. Whether it is from the presentation of every big scene to the outline of the details of each character, the gorgeous pictures are absolutely breathtaking. It turns out that the oldest small model with the most advanced technology computer synthesis can actually make such fine and perfect. Slowly advancing to 2004, the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy: The Return of the King", which dominated the Oscars, made us fully recognize the Weta studio in New Zealand.
It can be said that this is a victory for their own team, and certainly a milestone in the film industry. So I slowly learned about "Van Helsing", "The Legend of Zorro", and even "I Am Legend" + "Beowulf" + "The Bourne Ultimatum" + "Spider Man 3" in 2007. from their hands.
Of course, it is worth mentioning that the remake version of "King Kong" that swept the box office at the end of 2005, the team used the AVID media production system. It is very powerful, so powerful that you can see and like to watch Hollywood blockbusters, which are basically produced by this system... There are many more films, even the latest "The Golden Compass" to be "serialized" is also used this technology.
Personally, I admire and like these things very much, but I just watched them. No matter how you look at it, it feels the same, and no matter how you look at it, it feels like deja vu. It's just that the method of changing the soup but not the medicine every time makes me feel a little tired and even a little bit evil, which is not an exaggeration at all. A shot has to be turned into a lot of small dots, then flicker, and then blur a few times in the air, then zoom in from a distance, then switch from multiple perspectives, and then speed up or slow down N times, and all this is just A special effect...
Repeating, repeating, repeating, really repeating... Maybe this is the secret of the business. If a film can be popular, it must continue to be filmed. No matter what the plot is, whether the characters are dead or not. Anyway, there is no sequel, so I started making a prequel. After all, there is a reason, and this AVID technology is estimated to continue to be used until all people are no longer cold about it.
And all this reminds me of another sentence: people are shameless, and the world is invincible... Merchants are also people, so they are invincible, so I continue to buy movie tickets to watch. For example, I watched "The Golden Compass" today, and I can only shake my head helplessly after watching it, it's too similar.
You can find so many stories like this. A child or a small person, through some means, whether it is given by a person, picked up, or... whatever. Got a peerless good thing, which can be a ring, a compass, and of course a deformable bumblebee or something. But the process must be that he/she used this good thing to save others and prove himself.
Although the plot is very simple, the process is not complicated, and the ending is not unexpected, all this will be filled with the stunt pictures mentioned before. It's more natural than "Promise", and the story from "Hero" is coherent and compact. Chinese filmmakers really need to learn from it... If you want to make this type of blockbuster, you must do some basic points. (Of course, small films such as "My Name is Liu Yuejin" and "Fate Call Transfer" are not discussed here at all.) A typical reference to a successful case is Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu": the little man learned "The Palm of the Tathagata", for love and love, The final awakening proves itself and maintains the peace.
