"This movie..."
At the scene, Wang Changtian was silent for a long time and uttered a few comments, "It is an easy-to-watch movie with great imagination and ambition. Is it an undersea version of "Avatar"? Or is it an ocean version of "The Lord of the Rings" or "The Lord of the Rings"?" "War of Gods"?
"It's a very powerful movie about a superhero, but it's a mixture of fantasy, action, horror, and epic elements. The director is very capable," said Ren Zhonglun. "With its high energy density, wide span of scenes, and crazy rhythm, it is like a hard-core rock and roll drama involving land, sea, and air. The whole film lasts 143 minutes, and there are no peeing spots. There is basically a fight every twenty minutes, which makes it really exciting. I can’t breathe, there are many scenes, what else can I say except ‘dumbfounded’?”
For a movie, the most important thing is plot and rhythm.
The so-called main line is the life of the movie.
But this is for drama movies, and for science fiction movies like superhero movies, the most important thing is special effects.
"Aquaman" is a movie that has reached the pinnacle of special effects.
Under James Wan's powerful control, the audience's bodies feel as if they have been injected with dopamine and adrenaline, accompanied by frightening stimulation, punches and physical blows, and the discomfort of weakness after being overwhelmed by their eyes.
The 3D version of the scene makes people almost immersed in the magnificence of the ocean world, almost unable to breathe!
Is the plot of "Aquaman" actually good? Simply looking at the main line of the story, it may not be as good as "The Adventures of Little Carp"!
Especially the scene where Neptune takes the trident and instantly transforms into a golden-armored warrior makes people smile because he looks so much like a stick of corn. It feels a bit like Sun Wukong Donghai took the Dinghai Divine Needle and made a big fuss in the Dragon Palace!
But it doesn't matter, across the screen, "Aquaman" still bursts out with the spirit of leaping into the sea and the sky, with the momentum of destroying the world and swallowing mountains and rivers, spanning oceans, land, oceans, forests, and deserts, creating a wild rock music A visual feast.
There are close combats, rooftop parkour chases, flying over eaves and walls, dodging bullets, and being as light as a swallow, with a heroic appearance;
There is also an undersea airport battle, which makes people enter "Star Wars" in one second, and the epic duel bursts out with intensive audition bombing!
The entire plot has been immersed in the cycle of Neptune looking for his mother, Neptune looking for the trident, and Neptune looking for a fight. They are closely intertwined, and with the title of saving the world, the whole story is over.
Hot-blooded and wild, middle-aged and lucky.
Countless viewers were shocked by the content of this movie, and some fans who came for Hilde also came and left with interest.
"We don't know why the heroine didn't wear a bikini when filming the sea scene."
But even so, Hilde's northern hemisphere still makes many people dream about it.
Because of this bowl, it's big and round.
Especially the red hair, the messy hair fell on the northern hemisphere, and it was so wet that people wanted to help her smooth it out.
When the 146-minute movie is finished.
Everyone present was deeply shocked.
"If Chinese-language blockbusters can be shot like this, it will actually be worth it."
Han Sanpin swallowed twice. Everyone can understand the story, but being able to film such a bad story in such a way that it makes people sit in the chair without sleeping and reluctant to leave is also a level.
It's worth the price of admission and definitely more than enough for this movie.
The fans at the scene also started posting on Weibo like crazy.
"I think "Aquaman" is so good. If you can spend less than 50 yuan, you can see the Sahara Desert, Sicily, the sea hidden in the center of the earth, the wonders of the world's oceans, and the heavens in the movie." The land is so beautiful and the historical legend of Atlantis and Arthur is no longer dark. Can I say that the price is not worth it? ”
"After I watched "Aquaman", I thought that movies don't need to be deep in many cases. The most important thing is chicken soup and popcorn! And this movie has both!"
"The story line is simple, but it does not affect my feeling of shock comparable to "Man of Steel"! The configuration of the silly big man and the viper beauty is very similar to Beauty and the Beast. In those boring plots, James Wan is always present Using sound effects to scare you and increase the tension of the atmosphere is a director skill he has accumulated over many years of making horror films, but it is very effective. The special effects in "Trench Tribe" are very explosive and the spectacle is vast, a bit like a horror film, but it is addictive. ”
"The moment the 3D movie is applied to the eyes, this movie is completely dazzling to the point where you don't know where to look. Although the plot is brainless, the whole story keeps chasing the plot, although it seems that there is no character development. , but the colorful special effects are already memorable.”
After the whole movie ended, news from many film critics and live audiences began to spread on Weibo.
Guan Ling paid attention to the reactions of the film critics at the scene, and saw that many of the people's faces were surprised, and there was almost no specific atmosphere.
At least in terms of special effects, it is absolutely crushing.
After the premiere, it was time to get down to business.
Liu Ye and others came to greet Guan Ling and expressed that the relationship between themselves and Lu Chuan was just a cooperative relationship.
Guan Ling couldn't help but laugh and asked: "Do you think I think you have any relationship with him?"
Liu Ye was confused by Guan Ling's question, but he did calm down. It seemed that Director Guan was still reasonable, and he was just one-on-one with Lucuan.
But Liu Ye really started to feel a headache for Lu Chuan.
At Guan Dao's level, what could Lu Chuan do?
……
"I said to Director Guan, don't you regret that you didn't make this kind of movie yourself, but gave it to James Wan instead?"
In the office, Ren Zhonglun looked surprised.
"I'm really not happy to make this kind of movie," Guan Ling said. "A movie that focuses on special effects doesn't tell the story of human nature at all, and it's of little use."
"Okay." Ren Zhonglun expressed his understanding and was convinced.
Others were most likely showing off when they said this, but Ren Zhonglun couldn't refute Guan Ling's words.
"How about we talk about the follow-up?"
Han Sanpin looked at Guan Ling, "Including what we talked about at the premiere of "Hot Pot Heroes" last time, you are going to start shooting two new movies this time? A low-cost movie starring Chen Kun and Qin Hao New movies, a super luxurious epic blockbuster that you promised Tong Ju, a Hong Kong zombie movie, and a love movie that you want to shoot with Liu Yifei? "
After saying this, Han Sanpin felt a little embarrassed.
Guan Ling's task is too heavy.
Not to mention the management of editing before the release of "Scarlet Witch" and the constant arrangement and processing of animated movies.
With Guan Ling's current status, it can be said that he is also a donkey who dare not slack off.
"If you need me if you need me, feel free to tell me." Han Sanpin himself couldn't bear it.
"Let me think about it." Guan Ling's schedule had been pretty much set before. This time, he temporarily promised Tong Gang a Chinese super blockbuster, so the rhythm could not be disrupted.
Now "Scarlet Witch" is about to be released in the summer, and the filming of "The Job" is about to be completed. After that, Liu Yifei and Liu Yifei will be able to join the filming set of the love movie. As long as the coordination is in place, the filming time will be more than a month.
Guan Ling is thinking that "Hong Kong Journey" will be released almost next year, and it can also go to Cannes to set a benchmark for Chinese films and increase its intensity.
"Extreme Career" is a comedy family movie that can be released during the Lunar New Year.
Then romance movies can be scheduled between the summer season and the Lunar New Year season.
For example, National Day stalls?
But it's Liu Yifei's first time producing, and she has been quite excited recently. Guan Ling had also inquired about the progress before, and felt that it would still take about twenty days.
After a moment of silence, Guan Ling looked at the people in the room.
"I've been a little busy these past twenty days, why don't I shoot Chen Kun and Qin Hao's movie first?"
Everyone had been waiting for Guan Ling's attitude. Guan Ling didn't speak, and there was indeed a bit of silence in the room.
But as soon as Guan Ling finished speaking, the room became even quieter.
Film shooting is not a game. You read the script, do some reading, and shoot, one or two, and the lens still needs to be polished. Is more than twenty days enough? Do you want to go to heaven?
If another star with no eyesight delays the progress, it will be impossible to use more than 20 days.
Last year, Yang Mi's "Bottom Hot Girl" was said to be shot quickly, and it took more than a month. Moreover, the progress of the entire movie was completely limited to three scenes, and there was no need for transitions at all.
So after saying this, there were a lot of ahhh sounds in the room.
All the old boys were confused!
Bona's Yu Dong was the quickest to respond. He knew that Guan Ling's question to these people was definitely not just a question, but that he needed support.
As for what support Guan Ling needs, it is naturally an actor. So he quickly asked: "Director Guan needs actors?"
Guan Ling nodded and looked at Wang Changtian, "That boy Deng Chao, do you have any new dramas recently?"
Wang Changtian's heart skipped a beat and he said in surprise, "Don't tell me, he just finished filming the TV series "Ten Years of Love" two days ago. He has not joined the cast recently and has been waiting for the movie promotion of "Four Famous Catchers". ”
"Call him." Guan Ling said.
Wang Changtian nodded.
Under the gaze of all the big guys, the phone beeped.
Within two seconds, Deng Chao answered the phone.
"Director Wang, what are your instructions? Aren't you supposed to be at Director Guan's premiere now? I just watched the live broadcast and I saw you."
"I have nothing to give you instructions," Wang Changtian said with a smile, "I am with Director Guan, he has something to contact you."
The other end fell into silence for a moment.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
After a while, Deng Chao's voice was clamped, "Good afternoon, Director Guan."
Guan Ling hummed, "I heard you have the most time?"
"Before the recent promotion of "Four Famous Catchers", I do have time. But if Director Guan contacts me, I will be available at any time."
now.
Deng Chao's home.
Just now I was playing in the cafeteria where Sun Li was drinking and coaxing her children.
When he heard the word "Guan Dao" appeared on Wang Changtian's phone call, his mind suddenly became clear.
Sun Li moved quickly and immediately carried the child out of the house. The child was only over six months old now.
Just when you need to see it.
After Sun Li took the child away, she came back immediately and handed the child over to the nanny. She was also extremely curious about Guan Ling's phone call.
The two looked at each other and received a call from Guan Ling at this moment, even if they didn't know the reason.
But it is worth treating this matter as an absolutely important matter in the family.
So definitely listen to it together.
"Are you interested in filming?" Guan Ling said bluntly, "I need actors with acting skills, and I thought of you just now."
Deng Chao and Sun Li looked at each other, and Deng Chao's eyebrows were twitching.
"Of course it's a pity." Deng Chao was a little excited, "It's worth it to be able to hear from Director Guan that I have acting skills."
Guan Ling said: "And your wife, is she still in the training period?"
Sun Li's eyes widened, why does it still matter to me?
"She is right next to me." Deng Chao asked, "Director Guan, do you want to have a chat with her?"
"Okay."
"The Legend of Zhen Huan is very popular recently. Do you want to act with Deng Chao? In fact, the roles are almost the same, but Zhou Xun is also here, so you are not the first or second female."
On Deng Chao's side, Guan Ling doesn't have to say anything, but on Sun Li's side, Guan Ling must show sincerity.
"No problem." Sun Li said, "I have just been preparing to resume work recently, but I don't have too many projects at the moment because I have to take care of my family."
"It's no problem. If you want, the movie can even be filmed at your home."
Han Sanpin and others were stunned when they heard Guan Ling's words.
Deng Chao and Sun Li on the other side were also confused.
Deng Chao's mouth was faster than his brain, "Really or not? Director Guan can't tease us."
"Why am I teasing you?"
Guan Ling said, "It's up to you how to shoot it, because the shooting cycle of this movie may be very short. Sun Li can shoot it, but there will be a little pressure. On your side, at least with the children, there won't be much influence. .”
"If it's really possible, I'm willing to cooperate with the crew at any time."
Deng Chao was really confused now.
And several people at the scene were also surprised.
Hang up the phone.
Yu Dong was stunned, "Is this done?"
"Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, Sun Li, Deng Chao, Qin Hao," Guan Ling thought for a while, "There is still one actor and one actress left. I will go back and think about it. The roles have been decided and filming will start in three days. .”
"Can the schedule match?"
"There is no problem with Zhou Xun, and there is no problem with these two couples just now. Chen Kun and Qin Hao are waiting for me. I can just pick two more."
Guan Ling solved the problem three times, five times and two times, and the scene was numb.
This movie is an absolutely low-budget movie, and Guan Ling didn't talk about copyright.
Then we talked about the super blockbuster, and Guan Ling claimed that the investment would be huge.
Everyone also expressed their willingness to participate.
Before leaving, Han Sanpin said that the "Detective Dee Series" or movies related to the Tang Dynasty should continue. Guan Ling thought about it and nodded in agreement.
The matter was settled.
……
The next day, "Aquaman" was released.
With extremely high film schedules and attendance rates, "Aquaman" swept through major theaters in China that day.
The strong box office performance also allowed theaters to understand what Guan Ling's achievements are.
A number of domestic films were reduced to cannon fodder.
Several other Hollywood movies to be released have also begun to be released gradually.
Before the May holidays, it looks like there will be an internal strife in Hollywood movies.
But after the box office came out on the first day, everyone has already recognized who won and who lost in this internal strife. (End of chapter)
