Three things "Doctor Strange" taught Guo Jingming

1. The name must be remembered.
Name is the shortest spell. Don’t let the audience remember overly complicated names. Otherwise, in the film communication, you will lose at the starting line as soon as you speak. I can't even remember the name of the person, how can I give it to Amway?
What is the name of Doctor Strange - Stephen. Among the foreign names that the Chinese people like to see, this name is basically on the same level as Zhang San and Li Si, not to mention the heroine Christine, who is on a list of foreigners who like to hear and see. The best thing to remember is actually Master Gu Yi. You can't remember Gu Yi, can you still remember Li Guyi?
On the other hand, in the movie "Jueji", the names of all the characters are serious and unrealistic, Qi Ling, You Ming, Thereia, Guishan Lianquan, the magic is quite magical, but it is not easy to read, the original name is In order to make it easier for the audience to familiarize themselves with the movie characters, the name has become the biggest bug for the audience to watch the movie, which is unreasonable.

2. The special effects must be really cool.
Now that you have decided to shoot a blockbuster and decide to focus on special effects, the effects must be adequate. Otherwise, after watching the movie, the audience will feel that they have paid an IQ tax.
The visual effects of "Doctor Strange" really don't have much to say, it's very cool, time reversal, mirror world, distorted space, basically all can be adjusted, just to tell you how much people have improved after "Inception" . Basically every penny spent on the movie, you can find it in the picture. The special effects are the biggest selling point of the movie. Really, in addition to the special effects, the audience sitting in the front row is expected to experience the thrill of motion sickness.
The biggest problem of "Jazz" is also using special effects as its biggest selling point, but the result is just unsatisfactory. It is the first time in China to try a full-film CG production or something. From the word "first time", it can be seen that I want to take the emotional route, but these words can be used to move myself, and the effect can't be stopped. The audience yelled. I farted after taking off my feces that I had been holding for a long time, which was uncomfortable.

3. Don't make the plot too complicated.
You're so confused by the special effects that you're afraid you'll miss an important plot? rest assured! Complicated character relationships, origins and transitions... Roots! Book! No! have! Absolutely no flaws, and certainly no surprises.
The key to the story of "Doctor Strange" is just a few characters. The supporting roles are all soy sauce, and the relationship between the characters is also a routine. Even if you don't understand the Marvel Universe, it looks pretty smooth. The only thing that is novel is that I didn't expect it. Probably the final boss would easily compromise like this. It feels like someone said that cats can rule the world, and they carefully analyzed all the possibilities. Finally, someone said that they were just The five scum that can be ended with a cardboard box and a laser pointer.
In this regard, "Jazz Traces" is very old, because the original work has a huge world system, so far Guo Jingming has not filled in the hole. So how many times the king and the prince, how many times the apostle, what kind of empire, what kind of mythical beast, after watching this movie and not reading the novel, I really can't figure out the relationship between the characters, and this has become a series of "I can't explain to my friends what the movie is talking about".
Of course, it doesn't mean that such an extension is impossible. In fact, Jueji can start from a small point and slowly start the plot. Why bother to spread the whole world all at once to scare the children? If the step is too big, it will really pull the egg, which is not healthy.
