As we all know, the production TV station AMC of The Walking Dead is the same big station as HBO (the producer of "Game of Thrones"), with a budget of several million dollars per episode, while the producer of the zombie nation (SYFY) is probably at the level of Qinghai TV in the United States. The local small TV station has a very limited budget. So in order to save money, the film is used in many places. This makes the zombie film that we see now that some people scold others to praise-the zombie kingdom.
Let’s talk about how they save money to make American TV shows:
1. Regarding special effects,
this is basically the place where everyone complains the most. Whether it is special effects of firearms or the crude production of scene props, I will not complain about them one by one. But like Episode 10, wrap it in plastic sheet and say it is a heavy-duty radiation suit. I am also drunk. But fortunately, although SYFY saves money in other aspects, it seems to maintain the bottom line in zombie makeup. It does not appear to be a human zombie as soon as it appears. Of course, in order to save money, there are basically no zombies with a strong sense of existence similar to the walking dead half-length female zombies in the zombie kingdom. You must know that to make such a zombie, it takes a lot of money to make up and special effects in the early stage. In order to save money, bear it. Bear it.
2. About people
Many people complain about the ugly actors in the zombie country, no famous characters, and poor acting skills. Have you ever thought that the pay of well-known actors in the entertainment industry may be hundreds of times different from the pay of non-famous actors, and the difference between the good-looking and the average-looking under the same popularity will be many times different? As for acting skills, it's basically the same as being well-known or not well-known. Good acting skills are mostly due to more performances, and more performances naturally lead to higher pay. AMC is not short of money, so many of the walking dead are well-known actors. For example, Rick’s wife is the heroine of the famous American drama Prison Break. In order to save money, the production team of the zombie country can only find some less well-known actors to play. The only well-known actor is the protagonist in the first episode (a very important role in getting lost). After protecting Murphy for 3 years, the first episode ended. I always thought that this plot was definitely intentional. On the one hand, it greatly saved the cost, and on the other hand, it also set an example for other actors. Small sample, don’t you mention the processing cost to me? Believe it or not, I will kill you in minutes? The production team was afraid that everyone would not be impressed, but unfortunately, the male number one died in episode 7. It was visually estimated that this guy relied on his little popularity and played a role similar to Rick in the team, so he dared to find the boss to make money. As a result, everyone has seen it, this film is the rhythm of who wants to process capital and kill whom.
Therefore, with such an analysis, the actors in the zombie kingdom are left with ugly, unfamiliar and poor acting skills. How do you shoot this? Just when everyone generally thought that the zombie excess was a bad drama, the director came up with a clever plan in a unique way, not enough people, a few clan to join together. It should be noted that although there are more and more immigrants in the United States, the majority of well-known actors in the mainstream film and television circles are still white. Watching too much will inevitably cause aesthetic fatigue, and for non-whites who are not dominant in the United States, they will always be critical of film and television dramas. If the film is not carefully filmed, it will be accused of racial discrimination. This is why every time the Walking Dead dies a black man immediately joins the team with another black man. The makers of the zombie country played a big unity of the 56 ethnic groups in the motherland, deliberately weakening the whites (except for the most handsome 10,000), and let blacks and Asians occupy important roles. On the one hand, there is no need to consider the racial discrimination review of the Guangdian General Administration of the United States. On the other hand, it can reduce the aesthetic fatigue of the audience, and at the same time attract some non-white audiences. I have to say that this is indeed a coup.
In addition, in response to the general lack of acting skills of actors, the production team came up with another clever plan-to take the line of fishing. Because it's difficult to play a good person with great power and integrity. If you don't do well in a little bit, someone will criticize you. You are the protagonist. How can this be done? But if it is too magnificent, it will be said to be too fake or lack a human description. And most importantly, you must not grow up to be sorry for the audience. But for the fishing line, everyone's tolerance is much higher. No matter how he looks, whether his acting skills are good or not, he is full of swear words or suddenly sees righteousness. He is a fishing line, and his existence is reasonable. Therefore, all the characters in the play were born in fishing line, and those with a little protagonist temperament also quickly played soy sauce. The so-called head can be broken, blood can flow, fishing line temperament can not be lost.
3. Plot and theme
Many people complained that the zombie kingdom has no theme, so you can shoot it wherever you think. Some people also questioned that the zombie kingdom does not have a unified style and the plot is not coherent. Little does it know that this is actually the originality of the producer. In contrast to the walking dead, the script is basically written on a quarterly basis, and each season has a central theme. The storyline and character changes are all serviced around the theme. Watching The Walking Dead, you will feel that the screenwriter is playing a big game of chess, and you have to figure out every step carefully. As for the zombie kingdom, basically every episode is a complete story. It seems that if a certain episode is removed, the story can still develop. What’s more interesting is that the style of each episode is different. Some are like road movies, some are like sci-fi movies, and some are like suspense movies, such as "Resident Evil", "Edge of Tomorrow", "Fight Club", etc. Constantly being quoted, the people I like are very addicted, and they are stunned. In fact, the real situation is that the Walking Dead is rich, so he hired 1-2 Zhuge Liang-level queen screenwriters. The zombie kingdom has no money, so it has hired a lot of unfamiliar screenwriters at the head cobbler level. But the head cobbler has the benefits of the head cobbler. The head cobbler not only asks for a low price, but he also knows that it is not easy for him to be in high position. After the filming of this episode, there may not be a next episode, so he naturally racked his brains to make new ideas. Let's not talk about the good or the bad, but the zombie kingdom does show full sincerity in terms of novelty. This is the same reason as breaking the big pot of rice to achieve competition and to stimulate everyone's potential. The so-called asking how can you be so clear is a source of fresh water. And the producer snickered while counting the money, I was also drunk. . .
Finally, the so-called carrots and vegetables have their own loves. You like to watch acting and intricate relationship between characters. Then I recommend you to watch The Walking Dead and Resurrection. If you like to relax, there are surprises and smiles in each episode, then I recommend you to watch it. Zombie Sean and Zombie Kingdom.
