Chapter 74： First-class designer

Seeking recommendation! Seeking collection!

The premiere in Los Angeles has just come to an end. The midnight show is about to begin in major theaters in New York on the East Coast.

"Look, this is Christopher Lee..."

After getting off the taxi in Times Square, Irene unfolded the poster in her hand and placed it in front of several companions, "This is definitely the coolest and most temperamental old man in Hollywood!"

"Eileen, how many times have you repeated this?"

A black-haired girl curled her mouth in dissatisfaction and greeted the other four companions to walk towards the amg cinema across the square, "Even if Li is cool and temperamental, and no matter how legendary he experiences, it will not change the fact that he is an old man! We like it! It's a handsome young guy..."

"Oh, God..." She showed a nymphomaniac expression, "As long as I think of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, my heart is drunk."

"So you must go to "Interview with the Vampire"?" Irene asked dissatisfiedly.

"Yes!"

Three of the female companions said at the same time, "We are here to watch "Interview with the Vampire"!"

"How about you, Anna?"

When I walked into the theater, Irene asked her friends that although she studied film at New York University +≠, Anna prefers fast-paced movies. She shrugged, "I'm not interested in those two poker faces. ."

These words caused the three girls to glared. Anna and Irene hurriedly stayed away from their sight and walked to the ticket office. Because of the lateness, there were not many people waiting to buy tickets.

""Break into Death Island", midnight, two!" Irene said.

""Interview with the Vampire", midnight scene, three!"

The voices of several girls caught the attention of a middle-aged woman in the rest area. Her name was Kreis. She was an employee of the investigative consulting company employed by Warner Bros., and she had been observing "Brave to Death Island" and its Ticket sales of the biggest competitor "Interview with the Vampire".

She sat here for two hours, and there was almost no suspense in what she observed, just like the ticket purchases of a few girls just now. At the midnight show that relied on fan support, the ticket sales of "Interview with the Vampire" stabilized. "Brave to Death Island".

Time is getting closer to the zero point in the Eastern Time Zone, and fewer and fewer people enter the theater. Most of the people who walk in at this time come from these two films that have just been released. Kris occasionally talks with others. A few sentences to understand the audience's mentality.

Most of the viewers who chose "Interview with the Vampires" are due to the influence of the starring and original work, while the supporters of "Courage to Death Island" are mostly action movie fans. They have been paying attention since the Super Bowl advertisement. This video.

Nearly two-thirds of the audience that Kreis asked about said that they first learned about "Risk to Death Island" from the Super Bowl midfield advertisement, with the Hummer and Ferrari chasing cars and the unique'bomb perspective' They all left an extremely deep impression.

Targeted advertisements coupled with a suitable propaganda platform, Warner's propaganda seems to be doing well. Kreis keenly captured one point from these messy information, the Super Bowl advertisement for "Brave to Death Island" Propaganda seems to have played a big role.

Sitting in the movie hall, Anna took the water from Irene, put it aside, and turned her eyes around. There were about forty viewers, most of whom were men. They are female action movie fans. Relatively few.

The movie quickly opened the curtain. Like Duke Rosenberg’s upper part of the movie, "Break into Death Island" is also super fast. The transitional plot often flashes by, constantly using actions, explosions and speeding. Irene next to her has been yelling and screaming since the first action scene, and she has no demeanor of a famous lady.

Unlike Irene, Anna University majored in film production. While watching the film, she also used a calm mind to analyze the plot of the film. When the film gradually reached the end, she also gained a lot of experience.

In Anna's view, the storyline of this movie is full of trial and error at any cost from beginning to end.

In General Hammer’s main line, he brazenly stole vx gas missiles and lost one person to his subordinates who were miserable and could not get timely compensation; he was stationed in Alcatraz prison and called two elite marines on the recommendation of his acquaintances. This is a strategic aspect. A big failure is also a fatal error; the seals headed by Lieutenant Colonel Anderson are eliminated, but two protagonists are missed, the first step in tactics is wrong; John Mason is taken hostage, Mason and Gusby are imprisoned, but Mason escapes It is the second step in tactics to get out and defeat the elite of the Marine Corps; it is the third step in tactics to modify the flight trajectory because it does not want the missile to hit the city of San Francisco, causing infighting to die at the hands of its subordinates.

Zheng Fang is also constantly trial and error. For example, Gusby, one of the protagonists, almost died during bomb disposal because his colleague played with a doll; he was summoned to the airport and talked about his understanding of vx gas when the situation was unknown, so he was treated as a demolition. The best candidate for the bomb; in the dispute with John Mason, he was defeated without the power of the chicken; because he was not trained, although he won the battle in the fight, he ignited the green smoke bomb a little later and was blown into by the explosion. The sea.

Although the story advances in a trial and error manner, it does not appear abrupt and blunt.

General Hammer knew that the conscience of the Congress could not be exchanged for violence, but his final act attracted the attention of the President; he never killed any civilians from beginning to end. Although his kidnapping, imprisonment, and launching all belonged to terrorism, he did not The sentence before death—how could this happen, what did I do—is enough to show the patriotism in the bones.

What he did was wrong in form, but right in essence.

As a positive person, when the Pentagon, politicians and fbi discussed the case, they knew that the leveling of Alcatraz would kill civilians, but they had to do it for national justice; they knew that it was wrong to imprison Mason, but they still tried to detain him again after the mission was over; Knowing that Gusby was a rookie, he still ordered him to dismantle the gas missiles-no one except him could do it.

These decisions are correct in practice, but in essence they are full of blindness, despair, shallowness and short-sightedness. Especially during the bathhouse ambush, all the SEAL members face the condescending Marines, and the MP5 in their hands is heavy firepower such as assault rifles. In front of it, it's not worth mentioning...

This simple and direct sensation left a deep impression on Anna. If Mason’s revenge against Womack represents a personal partial struggle against an unfair system, and luckily succeeded, the bathhouse ambush means "sound-sounding justice." Complete failure in the face of evil"!

Of course, this is just her own view of the movie.

At first, the SEAL team members tried to climb out of the sewer, but they faced the laser alarm on the manhole cover. They took the method of reflecting the laser to avoid detection, but they did not expect that the laser alarm was actually a vibration warning device, as long as contact and vibration occurred. Will call the police.

As a result, all the SEALs climbed out of the bathhouse grandiosely, waiting for them with ruthless bullets. Although Lieutenant Colonel Anderson's impassioned speech almost shaken the military spirit, the war never looked at his face.

Since the contradictions in the whole film are focused on the starting point of General Hammer’s terrorist acts, the reference to this segment is extremely subtle.

"First, the hypocrisy and justice who wielded the moral stick tested the limit of evil, and found that the evil ignored him, so he jumped out to sing and dance..." Sitting on the seat, Anna shrugged, "but was awakened by the evil. Chop the neck, the chicken is usually torn to pieces"

Among them, Lieutenant Colonel Anderson and other SEAL team members struggled before their deaths. The picture gave people a deep sense of powerlessness, and even touched her heart more than his impassioned speech.

Even if the film continues to promote the development of the plot with various trial and error, it does not mean that it cannot get an ideal ending.

Anna can see that the young director of her age, in "Break into Death Island", the premise of trial and error is not not unprepared, but prepared, and achieved the best results.

Although after the Battle of the Bathhouse, the film returned to the old-fashioned stage of personal heroism to save the world, Anna was not disgusted at all with the director's subtle techniques, but found it equally exciting and interesting.

After all, she studied film production for a few years, and soon came up with some analysis.

In terms of theatrical performance, the multiplicity of contradictions and conflicts is limited. The partial images explained by the language of the lens are often shot from 100 different angles to the plot of one second, but they cannot all be presented to the audience—the movie cannot be shot like this— Especially in action-themed movies with tight rhythms such as "Break into Death Island".

After the conflict intensified in the first 70 minutes of the film, the plot could no longer be promoted through the narrative style of the big scene. Director Duke Rosenberg simply introduced a spiraling structure here to take the perspective from the whole Turn to the part and bring out the development of the overall story through character conflicts.

This is a very ingenious transformation. It seems simple to speak, but it is quite difficult to use in practice.

That young director is obviously getting mature! Anna sighed inwardly.

As a result, the film has changed from the pros and cons of the previous trial and error as a whole to individuals on the pros and cons.

Next, although the film’s screen tension is not as exaggerated as the previous traffic and team battles, the details are more refined. The lens language and the actors’ individual performances are more tense, and many foreshadowings preset in the plot use lines and actions. When they were unlocked one by one, they became more brilliant.

In "Brave to Death Island", this transformation is very natural, and a lot of foreshadowings have been laid in advance, so the effect is...

"Just like the addition of Gothic stained glass in Romanesque architecture, it changed the dull and depressed feeling caused by insufficient lighting in one fell swoop."

Before she knew it, Anna said what was in her heart, "If you use the concept of architecture to describe "Break into the Dead Island", director Duke Rosenberg is definitely a top designer and site commander!"
