Chapter 1026: radical

The success of the two films launched by Marvel Entertainment has deeply stimulated Warner Bros. and DC Comics. These two companies have also accelerated the development of the corresponding DC Comics Superhero movie projects. Fortunately, Zach Schneider has, " "Watchmen" is advancing very fast and will be released next year.

"Green Lantern" directed by Martin Campbell was originally still in preparation. Warner Bros. requested that the progress must be accelerated. Filming will start in July at the latest and must be released next year.

Whether it was once or now, when Marvel superhero movies began to become popular in North America and the world, Warner Bros. chose a more radical response.

In order to increase their influence, Warner Bros. and DC Comics also announced the first two plans, with Green Lantern as the beginning of the series, and then restarted version of Superman to set the overall situation!

As for the latter, the two companies are busy catching up with Marvel's progress and have no plans for the time being.

In short, Warner Bros. was very anxious to catch up. Without a long-term plan, he started "Green Lantern", and then took a step by step.

After Zach Schneider completes "Watchmen", he will fully participate in the DC Justice League Cinematic Universe project, with Charles Rowan and Diego Harris as the main person in charge.

Since Christopher Nolan has no intention of directing this series after the new "Batman" trilogy, nor will he continue to cooperate with Warner Bros., Warner Bros. will undoubtedly be more likely to reuse Zach Schneider in the future.

It may even give Zach Schneider more effort.

Frankly speaking, Zach Schneider is not a bad film director, but a very distinctive personal style.

But Ronan has worked with him and talked about some views on superhero movies. Just like the production of "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors", Zach Schneider likes to follow the setting and plot of the comics.

This is not a good thing for movies.

Ronan also moderately maintains his attention to Warner Bros. and DC Comics. Anyway, he has done everything that should be done, and the pit has been dug. Warner Bros. and DC Comics have all fallen. Whether they can climb out later is up to them. Of it.

This week, Ronan took the time to watch the crew of Christopher Nolan. "Inception" has started filming. The crew is currently shooting on the streets of Los Angeles, and will travel to the United Kingdom, France, the island country, Canada and other countries. And the region, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a global shooting trip.

On the streets of Los Angeles, the crew occupies half of the street, and a specially produced prop train was also pulled to the street by a trailer.

"Cough...cough..."

Connie's cough came from behind, Ronan turned his head and asked, "Is it all right? I kept coughing when I got out of the car."

Connie covered her mouth and said, "I don't know why, I feel a little choking on my throat."

The two happened to walk into the director's command area where Christopher Nolan was. He would be fine now. Hearing Ronan and Connie's words, they reminded: "The wildfire is here again as scheduled."

Hearing what he said, Ronan remembered that after the summer, the mountain fires that had been burning every year began to burn again in Los Angeles.

This year's Los Angeles is extremely hot. The blazing sun seems to be able to scorch every inch of land. Because of the heat wave, the San Gabriel Mountain, which is backed by Los Angeles, burst into a forest fire. The billowing smoke went straight into the sky, causing dozens of nearby The area of ​​the mile became hotter, as if in a big stove being baked.

The bad weather and blazing forest fires have caused a lot of troubles to work and life in the Los Angeles area. Some companies near San Gabriel Mountains simply took a vacation.

Ronan asked concerned: "Will it affect the crew?"

Christopher Nolan said: "It shouldn't be. The crew will be here for a few more days and they will go to France."

Tom Cruise, after putting on his makeup, came over, holding a fan while walking, and said, "It's only in mid-May. It's so hot. The weather is abnormal this year."

Ronan said, "It may be that the wildfire has increased the temperature."

The high temperature and unseen wild fires did not affect the filming of the crew. After the first three funds of the Pacific Investment Fund totaling 60 million US dollars were received one after another, the preparation and shooting of "Inception" entered the fast lane. .

After chatting with Tom Cruise and Christopher Nolan one after another, to grasp the general progress of the crew, Ronan took the initiative to avoid affecting the normal work of the crew.

The film can be completed by May next year at the earliest, and the summer file can be released. At that time, the Embassy Pictures will depend on the specific film schedule and decide whether to put it in the summer file or the holiday file.

The most eye-catching thing on the set is not Tom Cruise, but the huge IMAX camera.

When shooting "The Dark Knight", Christopher Nolan used IMAX cameras, but there are currently only three IMAX cameras, one of which was destroyed on the "Dark Knight" set.

The "Avatar" crew also partially used IMAX technology. The difference between "The Dark Knight" and "Inception" is that Christopher Nolan does not use any 3D technology.

Ronan never said anything about this. The technology that can create huge commercial benefits is a good technology, whether 2D or 3D, film or digital.

Moreover, he has long known that Christopher Nolan is a staunch 2D film party and has even become a leader in this regard.

This is an original movie, even Christopher Nolan's first original movie since his debut "Follow".

"Memory Fragment" and "Deadly Magic" are adaptations, "Daytime Chase" comes from an old film remake, and the two "Batman" are typical comic superhero movies.

In fact, it is not difficult to see from this aspect that Christopher Nolan is a very smart and commercial director.

This director insists on originality, but is not limited to originality. He knows that the original types of ordinary directors, screenwriters and even producers are not popular in Hollywood. His first goal in the mainstream film circle is to adapt movies. Relying on the great success of adapted movies, In order to win opportunities for original creations that require large investment and production.

Even if it’s "Inception", the script looks like clouds and mountains, but Christopher Nolan’s scene design is simple and clear. In his plan, this is a movie that most viewers can basically do without too much brainstorming. Readable commercial movies.

The success of this film once also lies in the harmony between the rhythm of the story, the understanding of the audience and the narrative structure of the film. In other words, it is not difficult to play with reverse timing and layered narratives. The difficult thing is not to turn these elements into niche experimental films. After the film is completed, it will not only allow the audience to see it in a cloud, but not completely lose the solution. If you are interested, the whole movie must be a good-looking commercial movie. This is the value of Inception.

Christopher Nolan’s whole concept is very clear. This is a commercial film with a large investment and a large production. The real core of the film is the mainstream commercial elements such as sci-fi action, and the others are derived on this basis.

In addition, the special effects team of Industrial Light and Magic is always providing various technical support for the crew.

Although he is a real maniac, Christopher Nolan has to rely on computer CGI to solve many special effects of this film.

Nowadays, in Hollywood, almost all large-scale commercial films are made with computer special effects and real-time shooting. There is no special effects blockbuster that does not use CGI special effects lenses with investment of hundreds of millions of dollars.

"The Dark Knight" is also used, it's just a matter of how much Christopher Nolan uses.

Many people once had the impression of Nolan that he was a full-fledged film maniac, and he was extremely resistant and even despised of digital technology. From a certain point of view, this is correct, but this does not see the whole truth.

In fact, CGI special effects have been widely and even crucially used in the production of Inception.

The rewinding Paris is one of the iconic shots of Inception. Without going into details, it can be seen that this is a scene generated by CGI.

Filming the scene of this running train on the streets of Los Angeles requires CGI processing in the later stage.

The weather in May is getting hotter and hotter, and wildfires continue to raging in Southern California. This, like the spread of drugs, has become a problem that the California government can never solve.

However, the hot weather and raging wildfires cannot stop the enthusiasm of the summer movie market audience.

A new weekend is here, and the movie "Thirteen Arhats", which has gathered many big stars, was introduced into the theater by the production and distribution party Warner Bros.

This is also the final chapter of the "Arhat" series.

The film brought together many stars such as George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Don Chandel and Cassie Affleck.

Together with the audience base brought by the first "Eleven Arhats" and the second "Twelve Arhats", it is also one of the highly anticipated commercial productions of this summer archive.

But one thing cannot be ignored. In this era, especially in the summer, special effects blockbusters are more popular, and the golden age of the "Arhat" series has passed.

Moreover, these stars are famous, and the only one who really has the first line of appeal is Matt Damon.

"Thirteen Arhats" only received $13.17 million on the first day of its release. Compared with the film's lineup and investment, this result is not very good.

The North American opening weekend three days Thirteen Arhats" only received 34.25 million US dollars, and the total box office in North America is expected to be just over 100 million US dollars.

This film also missed the North American box office chart and can only be ranked second.

The box office of "Hulk", which entered its second screening weekend, was relatively stable. The next weekend, it collected another 35.71 million U.S. dollars and won the North American box office list.

Ten days after its release, the North American box office of this superhero movie totaled $123.56 million.

According to various forecasts, the North American box office of "Hulk" must be more than 200 million US dollars.

This weekend, the film was also shown in many major overseas markets in Hollywood. The response was not as good as the original "Iron Man", and it was not as good as "Spider-Man 3", but it was also seen in theaters in more than 30 countries and regions. Up to nearly 50 million U.S. dollars is accounted for.
