Chapter 547： gradually mature

The so-called layman is watching the fun, and the expert is watching the door. At this moment, Lehmann is sitting in the theater and rewatching the movie again, which is also deeply touched.

Perhaps because I participated in the whole process of filming and production of this project, I can see some things more clearly.

In other words, director Nolan's personal style has a gradual maturation process, and "Mystery of the Shadow" is his relatively early work.

As the origin of a superhero, the film tells the story of Bruce Wayne, in order to save the fallen Gotham, overcome his fears, unravel his inner confusion, become Batman and fight against criminals.

To sum up the plot, it can be said to be unremarkable. Similar routines have been introduced in the comics and the previous Batman movies. It seems that it is good for fried rice.

But that's it, Nolan used his gradually skilled film and television skills to make this regular story amazing.

The length of the film is close to two and a half hours, which is not too short, but if you consider the huge amount of information revealed in the film and the degenerate atmosphere of Gotham created in order to fit the comics, you will feel that this length of time is nothing. .

In other words, in the process of watching the movie, the audience will feel that the movie is very "full", and if you don't pay attention, you will miss many details.

And from this film, you can also see some common familiarity with Nolan's films in the future.

For example, the scene composition of complex textures, the honesty of sticking to the real shooting, the variety of picture movements, etc., so that Nolan's films are visually rich even if the plot is rigorous.

Therefore, when watching his films, you seldom feel that the sense of picture is not enough, because Nolan always gives the audience sufficient story information with the realistic sense of the lens.

Lehmann looked back at the facial expressions of the audience around him, as if he could feel a sense of pleasure, the pleasure of seeing a good work.

But in the audience, there were a few people with mixed feelings in their hearts.

They are Columbia's production executives and Warners DC Comics executives and Universal Pictures executives.

Speaking of which, these people actually have a great relationship with superhero movies.

The great success of "Spider-Man" at the beginning was related to Sam Raimi's insistence on "Peter Parker" to follow the civilian line, emphasizing the character under the mask of this character. The uncle who ran a burglar and killed his own was tortured by remorse.

So this character is flesh and blood.

The "Hulk" filmed by Universal originally went to Li Zhao as the director. Logically speaking, it was also aimed at not being so popular and adding a sense of depth to the film. As a result, because of too much discussion of the theme, the film lacked passionate scenes and failed. .

But what about this "Mystery of Xia Ying"?

When I was promoting it to the public, some people became interested. This time I came here because everyone was developing a superhero project, and they could find out the ways of this movie, so as to learn from experience or lessons. .

Who would have thought that "Mystery of the Shadow" is a complete subversion of the concept of superhero movies.

If you change the protagonist, you can call it an action crime movie.

A superhero is no different from an ordinary person, and Bruce Wayne is not that great either. Except for the assistance of various high-tech equipment, there is basically no "superhuman" ability.

People in Colombia deeply doubt that this movie is really a superhero movie? Although Peter Parker also took the civilian route, there are still methods that ordinary people don't have. At least few of them were bitten by spiders and mutated.

And the people at Universal are thinking, it would be great if Nolan was hired for the filming of "The Hulk". It has depth and popular highlights, but isn't it the director talent they were looking for in the first place.

Of course, the "Hulk" project has been unanimously shelved indefinitely by the global management, and even if it is seen, it will be too late.

I can only sigh, it's a pity.

As for the dc department, they are confused about how their Batman setting has become weaker. How will they continue to shoot in the future?

But they didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, because after the trilogy, Bruce Wayne was really trapped in a swamp.

Under the double harvest of box office and word-of-mouth, the adaptation work has reached a deadlock. It can neither break through the upper limit of the trilogy, nor dare to lower the lower limit, unless it is rearranged and a Batman is created.

Look at how badly Ben Affleck was scolded in "Batman v Superman", is it really all because of changing the protagonist?

Not so.

This version of Zha's work is based on the dark style of Nolan's trilogy, but he is actually best at the camera. After all, this guy's painting skills are very strong, and the director's emphasis is different. neither fish nor fowl.

Even so, many scenes in "Batman Vs Superman" are very graphic, but the comparison is not so popular with the audience. In addition, in terms of editing, Warner management began to micro-manage again, which led to the tragedy.

Rather than scolding the actors, it is better to say that Warners is too impatient to engage in linkage, and for some cosmic plan, forcibly merge several characters together, regardless of whether the audience likes it or not.

It can only be said that the profit temptation brought by the Nolan trilogy is too great, and Warner can't control it at all.

In the end, on the ashes of Wayne Manor, Bruce and Rachel established a relationship, but a new story also laid the groundwork.

After the film ended, most of the audience still had an unfinished expression on their faces, but they did not hesitate to applaud.

The reporters who had been holding back for a long time also interviewed and asked questions to the cast of "Mystery of the Shadow", and Nolan responded cooperatively.

"Director Nolan, why did you choose to shoot Batman like this?"

"I heard that this project is jointly produced by Firefly Pictures and Warner Bros. Can you talk about the distribution of benefits in detail?"

"Christian Bale What's your reason for taking over this role?"

"..."

The reporters' attention was focused on director Nolan and actor Bell, others such as Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Cillian Murphy, etc. Attracted a small amount of firepower.

Lyman, on the side, was discussing with Barry Mayer the distribution of the film and the schedule of "Monster in the Lake".

Listening to the comments of the film critics around, Barry Mayer could not help but sigh: "If this film is successful, we will lose a lot. We are willing to cooperate with such a trump card project, which shows the sincerity of Warner."

Lehmann laughed, but he was thinking that this product would really give money to his company.

What cooperation is not cooperative, the superhero project is very profitable, but we also take a lot of risks. If we are not sure, I will not necessarily join in.

Besides, you are obviously afraid that the development of Batman's new project will not be carried out well, or else you would have invested in the development of your own? It's not that "Batman and Robin" scared you off.

He can say such nonsense, he is indeed a qualified businessman. Lyman sighed.
