When the ending song played, Lake thought for a moment.
This movie is actually not perfect.
Although the scenes in the second half are very strong, the plot is very ordinary and royal, with characters sacrificing to delay time and reinforcements arriving to defeat the enemy, without much breakthrough.
But the royal plot can sometimes make people feel very happy.
Even if Lake saw the words and deeds of the mage in the previous plot, he knew that he might be sacrificed and died. Even if he could guess that reinforcements would definitely come after seeing the previous plot, but actually seeing these plots
, his emotions were still aroused, and he couldn't help but feel excited about the plot.
In fact, Lake felt that this plot was even better and could make his heart beat faster, as if he was in a fortress.
When the mage sacrificed himself, Reik truly felt the sadness and secretly clenched his fists. When the horn sounded, he really felt like he had been redeemed.
When the ending song ended, the screening room fell into darkness, with only the fluorescence of the player interface illuminating everyone's faces.
No one can speak, no one can judge.
Because all the reviews are written on his face.
There is no doubt that this movie has reached a very high level in terms of plot, special effects, and performances.
Moreover, the cultural connotation of this movie is not about traditional heroes saving the world, but more about all human beings working together to resist natural disasters.
Replacing winter wolves and demonic tides with floods and earthquakes is the same thing.
This movie shows the indomitable spirit and tenacious will of human beings when facing difficulties.
This was extremely shocking to Lake and others.
Most Western movies, especially Hollywood movies, whether they are heroic epics or disaster movies, focus on a specific protagonist.
Whether it is a comet hitting the earth, landslides and tsunamis, floods and earthquakes, or even aliens attacking the earth, there are always strong male protagonists who stand up for their families and save the world.
When a meteorite falls, send the protagonist's team to blow up the meteorite. When there is a problem at the center of the earth, send the protagonist's team to blow up the core. When Godzilla destroys the city, send the protagonist's team to blow up Godzilla. When something happens,
If you don't decide, just blow up the protagonist and that's it.
And there are often scenes where people all over the world watch the protagonist save the world alone, as if everyone else is useless and only the protagonist can solve the problem.
This kind of personal heroism is the main theme in Europe and the United States.
But what this movie "Magic Tide" shows is a picture of mankind working together to fight against aliens. In this movie, although there are scenes of individuals fighting monsters, the real victory depends on the vast ocean of the people.
For a native European and American like Lake, it is difficult to understand.
According to his thinking, it was probably the mage who rushed out who turned the tide and defeated the giant wolf on his own. Then his teammates arrived and eliminated the remaining wolves that fled.
This kind of behavior of a person rushing up to the giant wolf can only cause a little damage to the giant wolf, but also loses his own life, which makes people feel incomprehensible.
More importantly, after he went up, other people rushed forward one after another. This fighting method subverted Lake's imagination.
Don’t individual lives matter?
While he was shocked, he also fell into thinking.
"I don't know how to describe this movie, but I was really touched."
Les sniffed.
There are not many purely fictional movies that can make him feel excited. Even the recent movies that Hollywood is proud of are mostly based on modern urban crimes or movies that reflect social problems, or they are just like canned goods.
None of these superhero movies, which are commercially produced, can move him as an old producer.
But now, what was reflected in this movie really made him think.
Whenever he thought of the scenes in the movie where everyone worked together as if they were a community with a shared future to fight against natural disasters, Rice felt his scalp numb.
In Europe and America, which advocates freedom and individuality, this kind of behavior of abandoning the individual for the sake of the collective is extremely rare.
But through this movie, this emotion was truly conveyed to Rice's mind.
Now he is even beginning to feel that the feeling of everyone working together is very passionate and exciting.
No matter who he is, he will want to fight side by side with his companions and charge into battle like in the movie. Once he thinks of this, Les's blood boils.
After working for so many years, his heart, which had become indifferent due to socializing and socializing, actually became restless because of this.
"This movie will definitely be a hit, I'm 100% sure!"
Justin, who is also a director, has keenly sensed the atmosphere of business. In this era, this kind of movie can definitely reap a lot of box office and capture the hearts of the audience.
You know, many viewers now go to the cinema just to have a good time, see the special effects, see the action, and see those stars.
Some action blockbusters have plots that have no logic, and the car travels into the universe while driving. There are also movies that must emphasize the audience's aesthetics because of political correctness, and change classic masterpieces beyond recognition.
Even many European and American audiences are quite critical of the current film and television industry.
And it is this kind of "Magic Tide" that meets all the needs of contemporary audiences, and the box office will definitely not be low!
It can be said that this movie is worth the price of admission just for the special effects.
"Lake, you'd better contact this movie personally and try to get it to be broadcast exclusively in your theaters. If you can get it, you might be able to set a box office record."
Armitage was the calmest. After feeling the shock brought by the movie, he also thought about business matters.
Normally, movies are released in all theaters, but sometimes, theaters will offer concessions and require exclusive screening of movies, just like exclusive broadcasts on websites.
As for a movie like "The Tide," Armitage feels that with normal promotion, its box office will definitely not be less than 500 million U.S. dollars. With some additional promotion, it is not impossible to reach 1 billion U.S. dollars.
This kind of box office is not only rare, but at least it is a great achievement.
What's more, when movies are introduced, theaters reap the benefits, and they can get exclusive broadcasts, making sure profits without losing money.
"I understand, I understand..."
Lake also realized the seriousness of the problem.
He immediately stood up, picked up his cell phone, and prepared to contact his subordinate Thomas Lee.
While he was on the phone, the other three people took out their mobile phones and searched for relevant information about Lu Tiao.
However, on the English website, there is very little information about Lu Jian.
"Wait a minute, I saw that this director had two previous films. Although they were not released here, some English translation groups have uploaded subtitled versions on some forums."
Justin said excitedly.
"Should we look at his other works?"
he suggested.
