On the ocean side, an old-fashioned special effects movie full of foul language, blood and dirty jokes, only because it is a comedy from a famous character, in the hottest time of the year, it is excellent but not eye-catching and joyful. Under the nose of the dishonest weak opponent, he became the new king of the mainland box office in just over half a month. We have seen that a comedian who is free from constraints and indulges in special effects enjoys the reputation established by cooperating with others when his creativity is becoming poorer, and dignifiedly blends jokes and performance techniques that are not suitable for all ages into a barrenness. Boring and unpretentious, twitchy into an embarrassing environmental/love story.
What is even more frightening is that in the eyes of the lover, this kind of immaturity and irresponsibility turned out to be an advantage: a "childishness is innocence" turned out to be a golden excuse; a "box office proves everything" is a vain attempt Stop all voices that hold dissenting opinions.
What's more ridiculous is that the rating of this movie across the ocean is limited to R. An R-rated film rushed to create a "Family Huan" is probably an unheard of anecdote.
On the other side of the ocean during the same period, another R-rated movie that really went to R-rated, an R-rated movie that could not be reviewed in the Mainland, also set a series of dazzling box office records in a mature film market— —Of course, it's far inferior to the new king.
For those who are "numerical", it is impossible to understand the relationship between film quality and film box office is not always one-to-one.
Let the value return to the value, the movie return to the movie.
"Wolverine" in 2009, a CG short film produced in 2012 and released in 2014, finally realized the birth of the first masterpiece in 2016. This year's comics have become more and more similar. Long before the instigator of the "Reunion Great Cause" series began, we have seen comics with different expressions, different cores, and unique characteristics. Before becoming Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds participated in "Blade Warrior." As an actor (RR) whose name has the character of a comic character, although he has appeared in many comic movies before and after, compared with the rather regrettable Hal Jordan, the most consistent temperament is Wade Wilson.
Because he is the one with the highest value in the world of mixed traces and strange flowers.
In non-comedy movies, you can clearly see the restless little heart trapped in Ryan Reynolds's body. Only in films like "Blood Solitary Words" or even the early "Castle Hunting Adventures" can you see him satisfied with finding his home.
This kind of satisfaction is obviously very difficult to find in the period of "Wolverine" lacking the right to speak. It's hard to imagine that a "special actor" like Robert Downey Jr. to Iron Man, because of the bad script and distorted character design, turned a very potential character into a rubbish. Of course, Deadpool is not the only good character to be ruined by "Wolverine". This storm of hurried and overconfident movies 7 years ago except for an unfinished whole film leak scandal (only in 2014). In addition to "The Expendables 3"), he accidentally harmed the king of cards and its actor-the future king of street fighters, Taylor Kitsch.
To say what benefits this movie has brought to the film industry, 1. Naomi Watts’ husband Levi Schreiber; 2. "X-Men: Reversing the Future."
But the old fox saw the potential of Deadpool and signed a sequel development agreement with Ryan Reynolds. At that time, Reynolds’ star effect had just emerged, and he became popular with Sandra Bullock’s comedy "Fake Marriage" and defeated Bradley Cooper to get his coveted and ambitious Warner Bros. The starring position of the DC comic change masterpiece "Green Lantern".
20th Century Fox hired Litt Reese and Paul Wernicke to write Deadpool's script, and in April 2011 hired the current director Tim Miller. Tim Miller is an extraordinary choice. He founded and operates Blur Studio. He is a senior visual effects expert and is well-known in the industry for creating top-notch video game trailers and game videos. And "Deadpool" is his directorial debut.
For large factories like 20th Century Fox, sometimes they like this kind of virgin director very much, probably because it is easy to control and will honestly do the tasks ordered by the big leaders. And Tim Miller is an Oscar nominee for best animated short film (Gopher Broke, 2004). His other extraordinary achievement is the six-minute trailer for his online game "DC Universe Online" (see below). In this cool trailer, Lex Luther and a group of super villains killed the most powerful heroes on the planet, so cool that it melted the fans’ attention:
(There should be a video here: visible blog Page http://i.mtime.com/cydenylau/blog/7947559/ )
This is what a true epic movie should look like, with all the elements of a comic-based movie that fans want.
But because of Miller's success in short films and trailers, he doesn't seem to be so caring about "Deadpool". But after "Deadpool" locked the creative team of Miller, Reese and Wernicke, in June 2011, Reynolds's "Green Lantern" started painting.
Reynolds went from being hot to being disgusting overnight, and Foss also realized that "Deadpool" will never get the PG-13 rating no matter how it is changed-this will change the mainstream of Marvel or DC A big tradition in superhero movies.
Under all kinds of concerns, Miller’s studio made that shocking CG test sample under a low (six-figure) budget:
(There should be a video here: see the blog page http://i. mtime.com/cydenylau/blog/7947559/ )
Even so, Flowserve executives are still worried: the absence of PG-13 rating represents a large loss of box office. In 2013, the company even began to consider changing the lead actor and director and two screenwriters, and has begun to create a new PG-13-level script.
Then, the most wonderful thing happened:
In 2014, this short test film "leaked" and immediately caused a great sensation.
No matter who "leaked" this CG short film behind it, the movie "Deadpool" quickly moved into the fast lane. Just one month after the leak, in early September, Foss approved the filming of "Deadpool." In March 2015, the shooting officially started. The old fox began to carry out a long-term marketing plan, the core meaning of conveying to the fans is that this superhero movie will be extraordinary and unprecedented.
To this day, it doesn't make much sense whether the director or Blur Studio was behind the "leak". What is really important is that the old fox did something very correct and not politically correct.
After the new millennium, the old fox who started the early 20th Century Fox always makes frequent moves in the tri-wizard competition after the new millennium. The last episode of the original trilogy of "X-Men" changed the director. "Fantastic Four" was filmed more animated than animation, and "Fantastic Four 2015" was filmed worse than "Fantastic Four" (Who is Back Pot Man has not yet concluded). Fortunately, we have seen the return of two veterans, Brian Singer and Simon Ginberg. This series is the longest, so long that even the industry’s conscience, Hugh Jackman, has been exhausted physically and mentally. Finally, there is a new series. vitality.
And "Deadpool" is the first fruit born with this new opportunity.
"Reverse the Future" provides an opportunity, an opportunity to start again, an opportunity to re-expand.
Compared with the next door "Spiderman" and "Superman Returns", the heart is higher and thinner than the paper. You play with you and I play with me in "Batman". The Lengdang of Little Cuba Godin & Edward Norton does not exist. , "Reverse the Future", but genuinely uses something other than Wolverine to continue two time and space. We have seen a lot of major events and restarts in the comics. This is the first time in the movie, and it was done beautifully.
This trick is so beautiful and perfect, it was even learned by "Terminator", and of course we all know it; and CBS's "Supergirl" and CW's "Flash", and CW's "Arrow" The cross-stage and cross-world interaction with NBC's "Constantine" is quite a bit of imitating the master's return.
It's not just neighbors who imitate. The character shape clones the death knell of the DC family's Deadpool, how can the movie not learn a trick. The plot outline and direction of "Deadpool" are almost the culprit. "Wolverine" is an intact reprint-love each other to the parting of the lover, the parting of the lover to power up, and power up to the revenge angel (pussy)-to prove even It's the same story. It doesn't have to be a large production scale, but it can still be played out (→__→ The first part of the article does not think about making a certain film).
It is estimated that the old fox was over-stimulated by the intervention of "Fantastic Four 2015", and gave "Deadpool" almost the greatest degree of creative freedom in addition to paying for the iron cock-this is the greatest benefit brought by the clear R-level positioning. As a result, we saw that "Fantastic Four 2015" with a $120 million investment earned a total of 56 million in the box office, while "Deadpool" with a $58 million investment was taken away in the first weekend. 130 million box office.
These two very dramatic figures are really dumbfounding-that's why we will see the self-salvation of the old fox and the R-rated "Wolverine 3".
Because of the popularity of that awesome CG sample, director Tim Miller took a live-action version almost intact and put it directly at the beginning of the movie. Limited by the cost, the action scenes of the big scenes must be refined. So we saw that, except for the remake of the car battle at the beginning and the chaos of the sky mothership at the end, there were almost no action scenes that lasted more than a minute. A large number of short and succinct action scenes are positioned on filled cutscenes and comic neta. There is no use for characterization and development-why waste time-just to look cool.
This is very wise. Action and comedy are cleverly woven, and juggling violence travels through dangerous environments effortlessly.
In addition to the action scenes, the other pillar of "Deadpool" is a massive amount of oral language and a lot of body language. The effect of these unstoppable humorous jokes is surprisingly good. It's not just how outstanding the individual picks are, but because this is a reflection of the protagonist's character. These jokes are never necessary, but our protagonist just can't shut his mouth, he will open his mouth as long as he can catch his breath. The most interesting thing is that Deadpool is not a comedian: his jokes are precisely to cover up his tragedy. But who cares?
This film is edited by Julian Clark (the Queen's editor of South African director Neil Blomkamp, from "The Ninth District" to "Elysium" to "Superior Chapai". In recent years, his work also includes "The Prequel to Weird" And "The Yearbook Project"), and the two long-time screenwriter partners, Rees and Wernicke ("Zombie Land", "Special Forces: Total Counterattack") have done their best. After several years of hard work behind the scenes, the highly fluid, compact and complete state of "Deadpool" is completely worthwhile.
As for the fourth wall, actor neta, and anti-hero clichés that have been smashed after "Big Short", there is no need to repeat the same old tune. People have this tone, so why make a fuss.
As mentioned earlier, like Robert Downey Jr = Iron Man, Ryan Reynolds = Deadpool. An actor and a role are so perfectly and forever connected, so that you can no longer imagine that others can play this role. Remember Scott Atkins in "Wolverine" (the actor in the action play after the final transformation)? Forget it quickly. Reynolds, who was naked at the moment, didn't give up, but returned to the basics. The neurotic acting style is rooted in the character's physical and mental suffering (much more reasonable than in "Wolverine"), and at the same time has a fragile and innocent heart. But the secret to the success of "Deadpool" is the geek goddess, the heroine Morena Baccarin. She seems to have an indissoluble bond with comic fans ("Firefly", "V Star Invasion", "Gotham", and Talia in the animated films "Batman's Son" and "Batman: Enemy of Blood" Xiao Gu’s seiyuu acted), with the perfect performance of sparks splashing and not robbing the scene (→__→ Blake Lively in "Green Lantern") and a pair of bright and moving Crazy Eyes (she is in "My Mom and Dad Romance" The guest post in clarified this in great detail), which provided a steady stream of motivation for the chemical reaction of the two on the screen. The talk between her and Reynolds was the most beautiful moment.
Although "Deadpool" is full of swear words, nasty jokes, and nasty jokes, the movie does tell a very gentle story. Yes, this is not just a marketing gimmick, "Deadpool" is really a love story. Like the character of Deadpool, the movie has a very melancholy and bruised heart under the crazy hippie smile. revenge? Not really. Everything is to be able to be with her again, even if it is life and death, even if the face is completely ruined, it can't stop the two hearts that belong to each other.
The seemingly most unreliable Valentine's Day schedule is precisely the most correct decision.
Except for the rising comedy star TJ Miller, the other main characters in Deadpool are relatively mediocre. Gina Carano is arrogant enough, but a little out of play, not as prominent as the counterpoint of the steel boss; Ed Scrin's Ajax is really a modeled British villain. Brianna Hildebrand is purely soy sauce on her face, like sleepwalking, occasionally molested, occasionally molested, That's it.
Starting a new film brand is a very big adventure. Regardless of the current position on the comic film, the fact is that the movie "Deadpool" still performs extraordinary, or even shouldn't be so good. As long as the courage is enough, the goals that screenwriters and directors can achieve are immeasurable. Tim Miller, who directed "Deadpool" for the first time, has completely turned "Deadpool" into a fan-service fan benefit. After all, the birth of the live-action movie is the blessing of the fans who strongly supported the CG samples. More importantly, the comic film actually does not need to be considered for the immature children, and it can be successful. I hope this trend can continue, not just in "Wolverine 3", but in Hollywood as a whole.
PS The soundtrack of this film is Junkie XL ("Mad Max: Fury Road", "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice").
"Deadpool" has created a weird and charming anti-hero image. A lot of flashbacks and fast-forwards keep the plot fresh enough, always switching when it is about to make the audience tired, so that this somewhat simple story presents enough freshness and excitement. The action scenes are beautifully designed and the visual effects are quite lively. Almost all popular photography techniques are used without feeling repetitive. In this near-perfect movie that has been polished over many years, perhaps the most important thing is a throbbing soul that is concealed by killing and ugliness. The true and moving love story is hard to find in similar superhero movies, and provides a strong emotional core for "Deadpool".
Of course, "Deadpool" is not perfect, but it is good enough to make you look forward to more mouth-watering and unrealistic juggling performances.
As long as it is dirty, violent, funny, sexy, who cares about anything else?
