The highlight of the Disney movie segment that D23 released yesterday was Jungle Cruise.
This movie does not have such a big fan base as Marvel and Star Wars, but the release link is as exciting as other Marvel heroes. I feel that the level of excitement has surpassed the release of "Black Widow".
The movie was inspired by the Disneyland ride of the same name, "Jungle Cruise." Movies derived from a park project are not uncommon in Disney, and there are failures and successes. Pirates of the Caribbean, a global success, is just that, and an adventure movie.
The host first introduced Dwayne Johnson on stage, saying that he was the biggest star, and then Dwayne Johnson directly drove a small steamer onto the stage. Then he giggled with everyone, still the same stupid muscular guy, and finally he asked everyone if they wanted to watch the trailer for the movie, the audience applauded excitedly, and then a trailer was played, and you could see the whole thing from the middle. The prototype of the story: a London city girl, asking him to help protect her and go on a treasure hunt in the jungle.
It was originally an ordinary trailer release link so far, but I didn't expect it to be exciting.
The host invited the heroine Emily Blunt again, saying that she is the real biggest star, and the audience reacted here. The host said that Johnson was the biggest star, which was a pun, and meant to ridicule him. In fact, what he said was He is the biggest among the stars, haha.
Emily Blunt arrives in a classic black London car. As soon as she came on stage, she was full of energy. She then asked everyone if they wanted to see the real trailer, and then broadcast another promo.
This trailer looks like a whole other movie. The point of view starts with the character of Emily Blunt, who lives in the city of London, discovers the secret of a treasure, escapes from a bunch of bad guys, and embarks on a jungle adventure, during which she has to find a stupid man as her teammate in order to hide her eyes.
Watching the first promo, I thought it was a cliche story, a girl who seeks the protection of a man and embarks on a journey, but the second promo has a different perspective. Emily's character is capable of fighting, wit, and ostensibly. A London city girl, but she is an adventure-loving female warrior at heart, and she has to constantly overcome everyone's prejudice against "adventure-loving women". It can be said that it is very advanced with the times.
The funniest thing is that in the second promotional film, the starring name Emily Blunt came first, filling the screen, and then the actor Dawson Johnson's name came out with only his thumb, and the audience smiled.
The whole link is smooth and smooth, and the details are very rich. For example, Johnson appeared in a steamer because his character was on a jungle river, and Emily appeared in a classic car, echoing her image of a London city girl. When Johnson and Emily taunted each other on stage, Johnson said that he and Disney had a long relationship, because he dubbed blah blah for a Disney animation very early, and Emily Blunt took the joke and said, you Only dubbed, but I was REAL Mary Poppins last year.
In short, it not only points out the story line and overall style of the new film, but also conveys the legacy of Disney, and also points out the new trend of keeping pace with the times: in films such as adventure tours, women are no longer the foil image of green leaves. , they can start directly as the protagonists who can fight and fight without the protection of men.
Although I knew there was a script, the two of them were very sincere on the stage. They taunted each other but they didn't feel annoying. It felt like they were flirting. Their chemistry was so good that I wanted to go immediately. Watch this movie! I originally hated Johnson's image of a stupid muscular guy who saves his family and the world in every step of the film, but after watching this episode, his favorability doubled, and Emily, needless to say, immediately became a fan.
As I write and reminisce now, I still feel:
Ah, what a wonderful ten minutes.
