The Mummy 3, the Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is


told by Westerners about the Chinese story of "The Mummy 3". Naturally speaking, it is not so authentic. In fact, as long as it is a Chinese-style coat of Western stories, it will be fine. Like Kung Fu Panda. Or like "An Accidental Death of an Anarchist", which also tells foreign stories in Chinese language. Of course we don't see anything. If you put it in the eyes of the Italians in Dariove, they might look awkward.
The same goes for "Letter from a Strange Woman".
To be able to accommodate the localization of some stories. After all, the story is just a tool to express the director's thoughts. Moreover, different people have different styles of storytelling.





Hollywood scene.
1 I often use a bird's-eye view lens, from one to the whole, slowly showing a large panorama. The shot of Zhuge Liang flying pigeons in "Red Cliff" is a typical example. It is almost a must-have lens for Hollywood-style big scenes.
2 multi-camera, multi-angle, high-frequency editing.
Not to mention the action scenes. The usual dialogue alone will have multiple editing changes. Close-up and medium-range panoramic close-up, the extreme shooting angle is complicated.
In terms of organization, it does not seem to be as organized as Iwai Shunji's style. But there must be no gaps in the narrative.
Each picture only provides a simple and clear subject. This is also the characteristic of Hollywood, which does not require the audience to think. Therefore, the switching pictures will not pay attention to any rules, but try to put the narrative points in different shots.
3 Road chase scenes are quite expensive.
Will sacrifice or destroy more things because of some small factors (maybe people, if the protagonist is in a better mood, it may be a small animal.). Of course, this one like "The Mummy 3" is most likely the result of the studio.
4. In Hollywood-style movies, basically, no matter what kind of trap the protagonist is in, there will be no fatal danger or will definitely be saved. So to get the audience's interest, you need to find another way, such as adding some unexpected humor elements. These flashes of humor are also a big factor in audiences' praise for the film.
Because of the happy ending. So the protagonist's obstacles will always be solved by luck, providence, or his own "quality".
5 Hollywood-style movies require you to be in a state of excitement all the time, so in addition to adding some small story points to the event itself, you can also consider using parallel montages to edit the more depressing and necessary links.
6 Hollywood-style movies rarely show the faces of other passers-by except for a few key characters. In this way, the audience can only remember a few characters that are clearly set. Like pros and cons, or other characters. A passerby is basically just a prop. Used to indicate the heroism of a character, or the evil of an enemy.
7 Hollywood's movie routines are modeled, and there are some other ridiculous setting routines. Oops. The most famous is One Minute Rescue. . . .
