In fact, the story of Jack and Black Pearl is already unsustainable, but Disney has launched sequels time and time again, although it is the last one, but how can you and I estimate the commercial benefits. "The Chronicles of Narnia" comes out to the third part, with no charm and loss of creativity. The money spent on special effects and advertising is more than the previous one, and the income has naturally reached a level that is beyond the reach of others. ; "Star Wars", "Batman", and "The Legend of Night" are all sequels and prequels, which are endless; the story of "Once Upon a Time" has been performed in Hong Kong for more than a hundred times in movies.
The sequel in the movie is so popular that it is indeed beyond the reach of other art forms. However, if the sequel is only considered as a tool and shortcut to make money by considering its commercial considerations, then the sequel obviously cannot exist as a culture.
First, let's clarify the concept of the sequel. A sequel is a follow-up work that starts shooting after each episode of a TV series or movie is broadcast. American TV series have the concept of "season", which refers to related series created after a relatively complete TV series.
Of course, the sequel culture obviously does not start from the movie, but the sequel culture in the movie obviously starts from anticipation. For the audience, any element in the film may arouse the audience's expectations of the film producer. The soundtrack of Joe Hisaishi or Hans Zimmer, the art director of Guan Jinpeng or Xi Zhongwen, the action director of Sammo Hung or Donnie Yen, as far as the director, actor or special effects are concerned, are even more innumerable. People always have a tendency towards things they prefer, hoping to get in touch again, so when the audience of the movie shows their love and expectations for the elements of the movie, the producer of the movie takes advantage of the situation to satisfy the audience, and thus also It is easier to earn commercial profits by directly gaining the reputation earned from excellent predecessors. Although the audience is satisfied with the psychological needs of the film's producers, because the previous works of the sequel will be better, the audience will often leave with hope and return in disappointment.
Because the early stage of a film is a kind of commercial transaction in a coffee shop. As a film producer, after making a film, if his work is liked by the audience and is more successful, then he will have the capital for subsequent creation. The next one is actually a "sequel" in a broad sense. If the director or producer uses the successful elements of the work to directly position the next work in the prequel or postquel of the work, or Changing the background and characters, but following the plot, then a narrow sequel was born. For example, "Saw Cry" and "Harry Potter" are a series with relatively coherent character backgrounds, while the "Reaper is coming" series follows the core element of "some people can foresee death", using different characters and backgrounds. Re-creation, and the most famous "007" will change the protagonist in time, create different backgrounds, but always follow a kind of male protagonist "Charming, smart, witty, literary and military" and "Evil does not suppress the righteous." , The plot mode of "the right will win the evil". Of course, movies like "Lord of the Rings" and "Red Cliff" are quite similar in form to sequels, but because they are actually a complete film divided into several releases, the movies are often marked with "up, middle, and lower", and Not the numbers in the sequel.
The sequel culture in the film has always existed as a contradictory complex. On the one hand, the audience is quite looking forward to the sequel of the best film, and on the other hand, they are often desperate by one after another. As a film producer, the creation of the sequel should be based on the quality of the work. It is necessary for the creator not to sequel for the sequel, but to collect money. Artistic achievements often favor those who dare to innovate and actively innovate. If you create a sequel without losing the passion and creativity of the original story, then we have reason to believe that standing on the shoulders of Descartes, the sequel can surpass The previous work was regarded as a classic.
