So there is a hot sequel, highlighting the biggest highlights of the previous one-"Father and Daughter Love" and "Little Yellow Man". If these two elements were just a supplement to the theft story, then the case-solving story in the sequel is relegated to a secondary position. Instead, the daughters find a partner for the father, the eldest daughter finds a rebellious boyfriend, and the little yellow person becomes a decathlon family. Babysitter, the little yellow guy is poisoned and turned into a vicious little purple guy... The director is really real, don’t fans like these, the sequel will be good enough. This reminds me of the recent broadcast of the third season of the BBC miniseries "Sherlock Detective". Under the strong promotion of the rotten girls, the content of "rotten" in the new season has increased sharply. The editors and directors are eager to give back to the fans. The audience could not recognize that this was originally a crime-solving drama.
Today, with the development of social media, the creation of sequels of film and television dramas values the opinions of fans so much. Perhaps it is a double-edged sword. Why do you say that? Let’s go back to the first "Despicable Me". The reason why the "father-daughter love" can impress the audience is that the cartoon has created a guy who is countless times worse than the real person in terms of image and behavior. This little girl gradually softened, making people feel unexpected and warm. The little yellow man has no lines, and his personality and tasks are very simple. In addition, the image design is bold and concise, which is fresh and cute at the same time. Therefore, "father-daughter love" and "little yellow man" worked in the first part because of small accidents and freshness. When the sequel cannot create its own fresh elements, then these two points will be published in the big book. Special book, it is hard to get rid of the suspicion of fried cold rice, and it is inevitable to have boring effects.
The sequel is indeed difficult to make, but the sequel is occupying an increasingly important share in the movie market, because the producer can not only attract existing fans with the sequel, but also save promotional costs. But there are many kinds of sequels. Just take last year’s movies as an example. There are "Hangover 3" which is conservative enough to pile up the popular elements of the previous work, including "Despicable Me 2" that we talked about; there are also some completely abandon the essence of the previous work. "Growing Up 2", which is just to cheat money; there is also "Monster University", which is based on the previous character settings and re-architected; of course, there is also "The Hunger Games 2" which accumulates previous experience and achieves greater success. "...
As a continuation of the previous work, the sequel is still an independent work. In addition to the story and characters can be independent of the previous work, so that new audiences can understand it, it also needs to achieve independence in "character". This is not only for the quality of the film itself, but also because the film industry nowadays also includes various peripheral products, as well as sequels and sequels that are continuously derived. If a chef only cooks the dish you like, adding more ingredients and condiments at a time than one at a time, will you still visit this restaurant after repeated several times?
Fans' sequel is like the phrase "water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it", creators, take a moment.
