Chapter 69： Test Screening Response (seeking collection)

The time of the film has passed halfway unknowingly. Roger Albert has the most intuitive experience of the film. In addition to the thrilling thrills of maintaining a fast-paced, "Life and Death Speed" "A more distinctive feature that it doesn't have-gorgeous to complex lens language and color use!

Few movies can use the lens to the degree of magnificence, improve the scene management and storyline to such an aesthetic height.

Generally speaking, the lens language does not dare to be too prominent, too exaggerated, and too arrogant, because of the fear of becoming a pure visual film, or mv film, most directors, the lens language will eventually give way to performance and storytelling.

But in Roger Albert's view, every shot and every scene in "Break into Death Island" is a textbook-like gorgeous picture similar to advertisements and mv.

A high-speed slow motion at the beginning, the close-ups of the scenes, and those strong backlit rain shots are simply colorful luxury advertisements, but they are full of tension. Ed Harris’s anger and military temperament can be demonstrated by the lens alone. .

No one dares to directly expand the gorgeous advertising screen into a whole movie!

Even if it did, it was a failure in Roger Albert's memory.

Even if he doesn't like "◎︽, Brave to Death Island", Roger Albert has to admit that this film is definitely not among the failed.

If Duke Rosenberg's "Speed ​​of Life and Death" is just a testament, then "Course to Death Island" can be said to shine!

"All close-up shots, medium shots, are gorgeous shots."

The short, chubby and glasses-wearing film critic had a calm face, but he was admiring in his heart, “Duke Rosenberg’s completely unrestrained lens language can actually create such tension in the story and the characters. This is surprising. In terms of narrative ability and use of images, it has made great progress over "Life and Death"."

Suddenly there was a thunderous explosion from all directions, and orange-red flames rose on the screen. The flames were thick and dazzling. Against the background of the high-speed slow motion, it slowly turned into a striking mushroom cloud, which seemed bright. Can pierce people's eyes.

The camera is elevated, and the entire Alcatraz Island and even the entire San Francisco Bay seem to be shaking in the explosion...

The explosion also interrupted Roger Albert’s thinking. Looking at the pictures on the screen, his ears heard the continuous cheers in the fan zone behind, and a pair of eyebrows were tightly folded together, even with the goodwill of the film just now. Is gradually dissipating.

The movie is an elegant art. This kind of vulgar scenes is really unlikable. What explosion is this in the movie?

Roger Albert really does not remember clearly, but he is convinced that if Duke Rosenberg can restrain his desire for destruction and his lens language and narrative ability continue to improve, he may become a master of vision and story in the future, otherwise ...

Finally, Roger Albert shook his head slowly. In fact, the two films are enough to reflect the director's characteristics, Duke Rosenberg's desire for destruction. Hope is too strong and completely overwhelms the pursuit of art.

"Playing with explosions and screens is simply his instinct and his only excitement!"

As a professional who has watched "Life and Death Hour" and "Risk to Death Island", Roger Albert quickly came to this conclusion.

Compared with Roger Albert, Kenneth Turan, who is next to him, puts more thought into the filming and production methods of the film.

He could see that Duke Rosenberg was moved by the use of light for the entire film. Almost all the scenes were artificially lit, and the color was thickened and thickened, which set off well. The heavy tone of the film.

At the beginning, General Hammer went to the cemetery for a scene, with heavy rain and dark blue tones, coupled with a deep and vigorous monologue, which clearly clarified the theme of the film.

The car chase scene between Gusby and Mason in the middle stage is another lens application. In the whole scene, there are basically no shots longer than 5 seconds. All shots are almost between 2 seconds and 3 seconds, and the lens settings are diverse. In addition to no overhead shots, following, parallel, face-to-face and even the front of the car driven by Gusby and Mason are all tied to a camera to shoot. The whole scene is dizzying and highly exciting.

Unlike Hollywood's car chase scenes that will be modified with post-production technology, Duke Rosenberg's car scene style is obviously real shot, the sound of the engine is clear and audible, and the metal distortion sound of the vehicle impact is quite real!

"The car chase scene in "Break into Death Island" completely surpassed "Speed ​​of Life"!"

Kenneth Turan wrote this sentence in his notebook.

Josman and his review team from Emperor Entertainment Group focused on the selling point of the film. As for whether the film is vulgar or elegant, it is completely out of the scope of the cinema. They judge the film by only one standard. -Can it bring benefits?

"This is a complete boutique, the entertainment and thrills of the film are by no means under "Speed ​​of Life"."

While watching the film, Josman recorded his first impressions of the film in his notebook.

"There is no single minute in the film for people to go to the bathroom, drink water, or eat. From the beginning of the film, the eyes will only stare at the screen, and can't let go of every scene."

"I want to be very enjoyable, I want to be nervous, there are crazy car chasing scenes; I want to think about the theme of'the country should treat the individuals who have made sacrifices for it'; I want to be entertained, and the interspersed humorous dialogues are real; I want to see beautiful women, as well as two super large vases of Gusby’s fiancee and Mason’s daughter..."

"Brave to Death Island" gradually came to an end, Jossman wrote in conclusion.

"This is the best man drama I have ever seen this year. The whole film has a masculine style and a deep atmosphere. There is no heroine in the whole film. It is a complete man drama. There is a climax action drama in about 10-15 minutes, and an action drama. Large scale but not out of control, long time without procrastination, diverse expression styles and technical accuracy..."

Since the ending subtitles have not been added, the ending of the film seems a bit abrupt. Many viewers did not react until the picture on the big screen disappeared and the overhead lights turned on. The audience in the back row was awakened. A thrilling and thrilling one. Exciting movies have gone away from them.

The theater fell into silence suddenly, as if a storm was brewing.

Suddenly, the applause came like a hurricane sweeping through Louisiana, and I eagerly wanted to lift the ceiling of the theater, which was accompanied by the cheers of many people...

"After the film is officially released, I will definitely watch it again!"

The observers of Warner Bros. sitting among the fans carefully recorded the most authentic words and reactions of the surrounding audience.

"I've been staring at my eyes, and now I feel tired, but this exhaustion is really enjoyable."

"Whether the actors are chosen, Christopher Lee's Mason is handsome and cool. I don't think Sean Connery, who is full of scandals, can't do that."

The audience with a lot of discussion walked out of the theater one by one, and handed the questionnaire to the Warner staff at the exit.

"A+!"

"A+!"

"A!"

"..."

These eye-catching ratings have refreshed the staff of Warner. If the film audience's word-of-mouth is overwhelming, it means that it is likely to be a big seller. Those who directly participate in the project will receive a generous bonus.

The exit side is still collecting and collecting questionnaires. On the other side, a large number of film critics and media reporters have entered the banquet hall of a nearby hotel. Several leading actors of the crew went to the room upstairs to be interviewed by reporters. Accompanied by Robin Grande, walking among the film critics in the banquet hall.

With the addition of several top film critics, this can be said to be the top in the film industry.

To put it bluntly, this is nothing more than a public relations party. "Courage to Death Island" is a typical commercial production. Neither Duke nor Warner Bros. would be stupid enough to solicit film reviews on this summer popcorn movie. People’s opinions will not be foolish to ask film critics’ opinions on the future market and box office of the film.

Everyone knows that professional film critics exist out of the mass market. Without being affected by public relations, in order to highlight their artistic accomplishments and unique tastes, the group of film critics has always been against what the public likes, and the public I don't like what I see, but they praise and support.

In their eyes, the masses must be vulgar, and unique is elegant.

Even the stupidest film company in Hollywood will not find a group of people who are completely separated from the mass film market and who are fundamentally inconsistent with the tastes of mainstream audiences to estimate the market prospects of summer films.

If a summer film really follows the expectations and recommendations of film critics, there is only one way to go at the box office and in business.

Duke knows this very well, and Warner, who has a deep heritage, also knows very well that looking for film critics is to speak out and engage in agitation, to make suggestions and predict the market, which requires highly professional professionalism, which film critics obviously do not have. Such qualities.

The films that can best demonstrate the influence of critics are the films that go straight to the various awards sent by the academy during the awards season.

"Director Rosenberg..."

When Duke walked to a middle-aged man who was slightly bald and wearing glasses, the other party proactively stretched out his hand. Duke shook his hand quickly, showing the most appropriate smile, "Duke, call me Duke. All right."

"Well, Duke. You can also call me Kenneth."

Also a native of Los Angeles and Jewish descent, Kenneth Turan’s perception of Duke is obviously okay, and what he said is also pertinent. “There are still some problems with the narrative details and logical structure of the film, but I see you from it. Compared with the previous film, you have significantly improved the language of the shots, the use of colors, emotional conflicts, and the handling of several other links."

"Thank you!"

The other party released goodwill, and Duke also brought sincerity in his words.

"Hi, Duke."

Charles Rowan and a middle-aged man wearing glasses came over and introduced Duke, "This is Mr. Roger Albert..."
