The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 274 This is a milestone in wasteland style! (4K)

On December 12, the premiere of "Fury Road" was held.

The premiere ceremony only appeared to attract attention, to gain headlines in newspapers and online news, and to maximize the publicity effect—this is also an important step in the publicity war before the release.

For this reason, Wang Weidu temporarily handed over the filming of "Jurassic Park" to the assistant director, and attended the premiere ceremony to help promote it.

As the absolute leading actors and producers of the film, Shen Zhenyi and Wang Wei are of course the busiest couple in the audience. The entire crew also went to accept various interviews after their debut. But... no one cares.

Because the most eye-catching protagonists at the premiere are not Shen and Wang, nor other crew members, but the various colors placed in front of the theater exude a rough texture, which seems to reveal the bloody smell of the weak after the decline of civilization. A vehicle that breeds twisted and mutated madness and desire to kill!

Whether it's a large locomotive with amazing horsepower spliced ​​together with rusted metal materials, a combat vehicle covered with spikes, or a domineering boss driving a monster truck, of course there is the most outlandish design - a The heavy metal punk military music truck composed of wild electric guitarist drumming team and speaker array is extremely eye-catching!

There is no doubt that this is a special premiere ceremony!
The invited or uninvited reporters all happily took pictures of these ferocious vehicles, and the guests also speculated with great interest what kind of unimaginable combat methods they had in the movie.

Probably seeing the audience's impatience, the crew did not have the usual pre-screening speech, and the screen went black almost as soon as the time came.

The picture unfolds, in the desert, the male protagonist stepped on a lizard, and then threw it into his mouth to chew.Next, before half a minute had passed, the high-energy car chase began for several minutes, and then the male protagonist was arrested!

Unlike many mediocre movies that require "water" editing and take several minutes to finish an ordinary thing, "Fury Road" is not the kind of movie that you can keep up with when you come back;
The development of the story is extremely fast, and if it can be finished in one shot, it will not use two shots. Of course, this has high requirements for the creator's narrative ability, but considering that Wang Wei is one of the producers, almost all film critics said Not surprised.

Then, the female general played by Shen Zhenyi went online!

The sharp eyes, straight long legs, smoky makeup, and of course, the one-armed cut-up shape, made everyone who is familiar with her goddess image gasp.

"What a subversive performance!"

The film critic Charlotte came to this premiere largely because she wanted to see Shen Zhenyi.

Not to mention other aspects, just her courage to completely remove the glorious image of the goddess made Charlotte appreciate it very much.

He has seen too many actresses, complaining about how beauty hinders them, while unconsciously relying on beauty; unless it is to win an award, it is impossible to "destroy" beauty.

And as we all know, Shen Zhenyi, who won the double award in the last year without precedent, is unlikely to win the award again in a short time, so her self-"destruction" of beauty is really just to try a new acting style.

Most film critics appreciate this kind of behavior, um, except for Yang Lan, who has deep facial control.

——Even with the background of the trailer, Ms. Yang Lan's heart is still a little broken at this moment!
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhated?"

Of course, after more people were surprised, their expectations, which had already been set high, became even higher - what kind of charm does the actress Shen Zhenyi, who does not hesitate to "disfigure" the commercial film she starred in?
The story is very traditional, at least a film critic like Charlotte can basically guess the ending after reading the beginning-a hero at the end of the road leads his companions to turn defense into offense, overthrowing the violent gang that dominates one side, that's all.

But the worldview structure outlined by the film next fills this ordinary story with a very different temperament, which is refreshing——

Life is withered, order is gone, and everything has returned to the original state. Under the law of survival of the jungle, only cruel predators have the right to live... A rough and bleak picture of the end of the world comes alive on the screen.

"Well, this is not an ordinary road movie, nor is it an ordinary disaster movie, but...it really opened up a new movie style-wasteland style."

The seasoned film critic Charlotte muttered something in a low voice after watching it for more than ten minutes.

Disaster films focus on why the world is destroyed, and this film, which he calls "wasteland film", goes deeper. The destruction itself is not the point-the film does not go into detail about how the disaster happened. Discussion of post-disaster surviving civilization and human nature.

Movies have been developed for nearly a hundred years, and the old man Xia who has read countless movies has easily found many movies with a similar style, but the reason why this movie really opened up a new style is because——

"It's so well done!"

This is another surprise for him!
——"Well, to some extent, this is also a dimensionality reduction blow."

At the same moment, Wang Wei in the front row smiled silently.

This is not the first entertainment work involving the "wasteland concept" in this time and space. At least in the field of games, whether in the East or the West, there have been video games in which players need to survive on a piece of "wasteland" after being bombed by nuclear bombs.

However, movies in the form of "wasteland", whether it is in China entertainment industry or Hollywood, can only be said to be a taste of it.

And this "Fury Road", although there are many differences from the "Mad Max 4" in Wang Wei's memory-Wang Wei is in charge of perfecting the frame, Shen Zhenyi is in charge of injecting the soul, and director Lu Le is in charge of filming. There are many differences - but in terms of the quality of the finished film, in Wang Wei's opinion, it is basically at the same level.

The problem is that "Mad Max 4" was finally formed after two or 30 years of development of the "wasteland style", while "Fury Road" appeared in the era when this style was just emerging, and it can be said that "the debut is the pinnacle". , easily brought fans into a brand new and completely different world!

No, when a thrilling escape really unfolds, there will be a surprise every few minutes, no, the whole process will be full of surprises, making people dizzying.

Speed ​​and pursuit, explosion and madness, after a short breath, you will enter the next action scene in the blink of an eye, when the javeliner throws the explosive spear, when the pursuer hangs on a long pole and falls from the sky, there is a continuous stream of scenes in the theater. The sound of breathing seemed to stop.

"These action scenes will definitely become the benchmark for future action movies!"

Charlotte sighed silently.

It's not just him, most film critics are amazed by the shocking action scenes.

As for action movies, they never expect plots or anything, they just need to be cool, and this movie is absolutely cool to the end!
——These film critics like to make very thoughtful and profound art films, but it is impossible for them to dislike high-quality commercial films, and they have ideas about this kind, and they perfectly fit the fixed structure of commercial films. Let the audience experience a very good movie and have a good impression.

This commercial deserves all the more praise when you consider the countless bad movies they see over the course of the year.

……

"How is it possible to shoot such a picture?!"

This is the shocking idea that Yang Qianyi's manager keeps popping up in her mind.

——As a competitor in the same schedule, Yang Qianyi's goal is too big, so her manager came to check the opponent's bottom in a low-key manner.

This "touch" made her almost forget to breathe.

Naturally, the agent knows that Yang Qianyi also has a lot of action scenes in the film. At first, I thought it was still a highlight, but now I compare it with the action scenes in "Fury Road"——

"It has become an appointment for kindergarten children!"

Along with the entire audience, she let out a loud, almost groaning "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" ——

"It's so cool!" In the end, she could only think so plainly and excitedly, "It's so cool, all of this is just... so cool!"

And when the red-clothed guitarist came out, boom—on the yellow desert, there was a heavy metal concert with blood and fire in the background, and she was always inwardly: "Damn it! There is such an operation!"

plot?A fucking guitar can breathe fire!What kind of plot is there!
Until all the burning rage, all the metal explosions, all the endless chases rushed into the sandstorm of lightning and thunder, she, like all ordinary audiences, forgot to scream, forgot to blink, deep down, she almost knelt and watched Movie;

From the beginning of the film to the present, one link after another, the hearts of the audience have been tightly hanging, and they have never relaxed. However, all fans just want to burst into tears and think— -I beg you!do not stop!

Nevertheless, the storm in the movie subsides and the rhythm eases a little-it must give everyone a breather.

The film critics also came to their senses and subconsciously commented on the previous clips-this is not common for them.

Of course, Yang Lan paid attention to Shen Zhenyi immediately.

"Obviously, my beauty is still as dedicated as ever!"

——General viewers may not be able to see the operation of "stand-in and save the scene by post-editing" that is common in action movies, but professional film critics can easily see it.

Therefore, Shen Zhenyi played in person in most of the action scenes, and she also saw it in her eyes.

It cannot be said that this kind of professionalism is almost extinct in the current Chinese entertainment industry, but considering that Shen Zhenyi can still maintain this kind of professionalism when she became famous at a young age, how can filmmakers not have a good impression of her?

No, in Yang Lan's heart, it's not just a good impression, but also wishing to turn into a screen-licking madman.

What?This time there is no prosperity and beauty?
Am I someone who only looks at faces?

Well, I am, but this woman is so sassy!

She is not the tight-fitting superheroine that many men want, killing all directions and saving the world in the sexiest way on the screen; but seeing the fire and sand reflected in her rock-solid eyes, whether it is a man or a woman Feminists are still straight male cancer, there is only one emotion in my heart-respect!
Although the movie is far from over, Yang Lan doesn't know if she has a relationship with the male lead, but she thinks there shouldn't be, and there is no need to have one!

From the perspective of the plot logic, there shouldn’t be any—they are in a motorcycle chase, they can’t stop, they will die if they stop, and then the director asks the hero and heroine to stop and have sex, or fall in love?
The audience might be discouraged for a second.

If it was a male director, Yang Lan really didn't dare to have high expectations, because they felt that if there was a beautiful heroine in a movie, and a tough male protagonist, it would be unreasonable not to let her (he) get together...

Fortunately, the director of this movie is a woman, and Shen Zhenyi is also one of the producers, so, it should, probably...it won't be so vulgar.

—— On the other side, Yang Qianyi's manager also keenly noticed this as she was also a woman.

She didn't know whether she wanted to see the extra emotional lines between the male and female protagonists in the sequel, or if there was no emotional line until the end, but she subconsciously thought—is this something that can be done?
No way, seeing now, "amazing" is her most appropriate feeling about this movie.

You know, in the previous evaluation of Tang Yu Media, the style of this movie is quite unique, most likely like spicy food, people who like to eat it are particularly obsessed, the more spicy the merrier; those who don’t like it will not touch it .

But she felt that she was not a "doomsday lover", and she had no feelings for this kind of dirty picture, but when she watched this movie, she was fascinated.

As a film practitioner, she can't belittle the film without conscience; but as a competitor, she has to try her best to pick out the film's flaws.

"Strong woman" - this is a point that she thinks can make a big fuss.

Although Shen Zhenyi's role in the movie made her also respect, there must be some macho people who can't understand it-well, even some of her fans can't understand it-once the public opinion in this area rises, maybe It has had a big impact on many people who didn't care about it at first...

Thinking absently, the plot continued to advance. When the beautiful wasteland scenery appeared in the camera, her mind suddenly became distracted——

This is probably another reason why this movie is well accepted by many people who are not apocalyptic.

Compared with the dark and monotonous colors of other apocalyptic themes, every frame of this movie is full of beauty.

Thousands of miles of yellow sand, thousands of miles of blue sky, blue and yellow constitute the base color of the scene;
The sky with dark blue filter effect on the continuous sand dunes, the shambling black ghost in the blue night sky curtain of the dead oasis, and even the dim yellow sandstorm with a hint of blood... all make people unable to think effectively.

Without him, this is a human's instinctive appreciation for beautiful pictures.

"This should be one of the most existential movies this year!"

The film critic Charlotte, who was concentrating again, was already quite excited.

Although the movie is not over yet, he can already be sure——

"Whether it is the aesthetic style or the texture of the picture details, it has reached the extreme. The wasteland movie has been formed since then. This is a milestone in this theme!"
