Chapter 567

Timo bekmanbetov, the director of the assassin League, had already provoked the banner of new Russian commercial films with sun watchman and night watchman. It happened that the producer of Columbia film company, who had been struggling to find the operator of the new assassin League, got the information of Timor beckmanbetov. In this way, the Russians naturally "got the wanted notice" (assassin League, also known as the wanted notice).

However, this "foreigner" who has just entered Hollywood has indeed received the same "hospitality" as many foreign predecessors. It is said that according to Timor bekmanbetov's performance of the sun watcher with a box office return of nearly 1:15, the production mm company only prepared a budget of only $68 million for the crew, but asked the Russians to make the effect of Spider Man 3.

However, bekmanbetov obeyed any harsh and difficult situation and knew how to save costs. It is said that his personal salary was poor and only enough to make a living. Obviously, his first experience of "going out to work" was a test for everyone. This time, he took a big red envelope and immediately smiled. The Russians were cruel and picked up a big bottle of high whisky, The heroic style of pouring more than one kilogram of liquor directly into the mouth won unanimous applause from the audience, and everyone applauded one after another to show encouragement.

"Assassin League" has become the most exciting and sensational film in beimi summer. Although it is not as sensational as those hundreds of millions of works, it is no worse than those super productions in the eyes of fans and fans who are good at it.

The assassin League has an old-fashioned but effective narrative foundation. The story is a typical Hollywood "mediocre boy involved in a startling conspiracy". The reason why such a design is used and reused is analyzed because the big event itself is attractive and the small people can give the audience a strong sense of identity.

The structure of the assassin alliance is also relatively conservative, linear narrative, and strictly echoes from beginning to end. It is so simple that the audience can understand it at a glance. However, if only the above, it will only lay a solid but slightly dull foundation. The place where assassin League really shines and conquers the audience is the extreme audio-visual language and happy emotional catharsis. Beckman betov still has a good grasp of the market.

With the evolution of the picture reading era, the audience's mouth is becoming more and more tricky. Only cooks who constantly push through the old and bring forth the new can continue to survive. This truth is very simple. But the key is, can everyone find new forms of expression? Not necessarily, but the assassin League has found, for example, its further exploration of the performance subject of "bullet" after the matrix. In the assassin League, the bullet can not only assemble and move by itself in the air, but also make an arc, or even make a circular track to penetrate the n people standing in the room, and realize the imagination of gun fans that two bullets block each other since childhood. In addition, there are many impressive and wonderful passages in the film

When Wesley's fake father appeared, there was a play in which he ejected himself like a bullet and rushed across the building at great speed. Three details are highlighted in the lens. One is that the fake father pedaled the elevator room during the run-up. As a result, he pedaled out of a pit, which shows the strength. Second, after the heart beat faster, the time slows down, and the movement of the people around is relatively static. Only the fake father runs alone, with a huge range of movement. Third, where he went, it was like a tornado, scraping the official paper everywhere. This makes the invisible wind tangible and renders a very strong speed experience.

The film also makes a very detailed description on the "official document paper". The fake father runs in the corridor and sucks a string of official document paper behind him - the paper in the next office flies, and the woman almost falls - running back. The flying paper is the foreground, the middle scene of running, the flying paper is the background, the action is accelerated, the paper and the people looking at the side are the foreground, and the fake father runs in the background, The camera tilts - the paper flies up. In the background, the dead woman (indicating that the fake father has run into the house) - smashes the glass and rushes out of the building.

If "speed" at least has a running action, then pressure is purely a feeling in the heart. How to externalize the inner feeling? Wesley's high-pressure mental state in the assassin League is handled in this way: the picture twitches and jumps slowly (simulating the heartbeat), and the heartbeat is processed slowly as the background sound, sound and dialogue.

In the first high-pressure paragraph, Wesley was urged by her boss Jennifer to deliver the report. First, Wesley's voice "Why are you here?" appeared on the computer screen. Then Jennifer's stapler and Wesley's own heartbeat were amplified at variable speed, and the grid was full of close-up of Jennifer's exaggerated shaking facial muscles after the speed change. At this time, Wesley's inner out of control has been fully externalized. The director also inserted his "good friend"'s unknown smile to highlight the difference between Wesley and normal people's mental state.

The train section is particularly impressive. In this scene, the contradictions and conflicts paved before reach the strongest. Wesley finally had a head-on confrontation with the "enemy who killed his father", and then the screenwriter made a big reversal, allowing Wesley to find that he killed his own father. The crisis scene of the train falling, the realism created by realistic details, and the train suddenly fell into a deep valley after Wesley shot a fatal shot... All created a good external environment for the internal drama conflict of the play, and helped the whole film reach the plot and emotional climax in the visual stimulation.

Betomanbetov did a good job in emotional catharsis. He also grasped the common emotional characteristics of people in this era (too much pressure, too little achievement, boring life, lost himself, etc.), and helped high-pressure people vent their inner depression.

The film carries out emotional catharsis through two aspects. On the one hand, it is the violent aesthetics created by audio-visual language, represented by the black humor of his "good friend" front teeth and a series of clean "head popping" pictures. On the other hand, the film has a consistent theme that can incite rebellion: looking for yourself.

This theme also has to start with the protagonist. Wesley is a small white-collar worker with heroic superpowers and does what heroes do, but he has no heroic ambition in the classical context (saving the world or something). His motivation is to find himself (visualizing the abstract thing of "looking for self" through Google search, which can be seen from the visualization efforts of the film) 。

At the end of the story, Wesley has a monologue:

I am not the one willing to accept mediocre fate

It's not me who follows dad

I'm not the one who saved the world

……

Take my life back from Sloan, from the assassin League, from Jennifer... (bullets fall through related people and things)

This is me who has regained control of my life

What the fuck are you doing?

The direct insult to the audience in the last sentence of the film "mourn its misfortune and strive for its indisputability" is actually encouraging you to find yourself. Listening to the blood boiling of each scolded person corresponds to the pursuit shown by the protagonist. The theme of the film is no longer that heroes save the world and justice will defeat evil, It calls on the extraordinary soul in every mediocre body to live bravely.

This is a cool and themed film. It has all kinds of elements. It was released after two weeks of hunger in the market. It is inevitable to sell well. It also won more than 48 million in the second week and successfully won the championship. Its total box office in beimi reached 120 million. It was released in many overseas regions, almost the same number. It was released for 13 days, The world won 240 million, which is quite good.

Mark's masterpiece, the dark knight, has also exceeded the $550 million estimated by Warner Brothers and the media, and is making an impact on the $650 million of Titanic. This is the first masterpiece with a box office of nearly $600 million in beimi since 1998. With the parts outside Shanghai, the world has successfully exceeded $1.1 billion, successfully surpassing the return of the Lord of the rings 3 in 2003, Beimi is the first in the world and the second in film history.

Mark's personal beimi box office and nine films have also reached an amazing 2.35 billion, 4.2 billion in the world, and now ranks second, only behind Spielberg. This one has accumulated nearly 30 years of achievements, while Mark's achievements in five years. Beimi alone has three works exceeding 300 million, with an average of 261 million, And the great God, James Cameron's masterpiece of grinding a sword for ten years, will be released next year, which is expected to affect the ranking again. However, at present, mark is firmly in the second place. Mark is seated. He is not second, but unhappy. Six billion people in the world are ranked second, which is very good.

However, mark declined Warner's proposal to celebrate the victory. He thought that after breaking 600 million, he would hold a celebration party. Now his share is fixed, and he won't give up the share like Cameron. It depends on the gift of the film company. In the battle of the dark knight, mark will transfer $150 million from Warner's account.

The income of more than 100 million yuan is not inferior to that of investing in a billion dollar blockbuster. Many companies have invested more than 100 million yuan and lost miserably. For example, Disney has lost three consecutive losses in the summer, and the strong man carsenberg wants to cry without tears. Fortunately, kung fu panda has made a lot of money, and the loss is the project left by his predecessor. This is not so embarrassing. This summer, there are many huge losses, Countless people who want to squeeze into this circle are deeply concerned about the police province. This is a high-risk industry. At least half of the ten films are at a loss. Even the six giants who are used to movies say that they are at a loss, not to mention the people outside.

At 21 p.m. local time, the four giants of MM received an emergency call almost at the same time. They were surprised that few people knew about the call. If it wasn't a big thing, they wouldn't call, nor would the four giants have a phone at the same time. They picked up the phone at the same time.
