Chapter eight hundred and ninety-three rivals with Hollywood
"Wonderful!" Tao Yaoyao looked at Chen Mubai excitedly.
He is a hero, the hero in the movie, and he is also her hero!
When he thought of this, Tao Yaoyao's heart melted, and the tenderness and sweetness in his eyes could not be hidden.
"It's indeed very beautiful." Qin Qiu nodded and said with a smile.
Tao Qingchao also did not hesitate to praise: "It's very beautiful. I like this movie. The special effects are also amazing. After today, the media news will definitely be all about this movie."
Judging from the quality of "Iron Man", this movie will definitely become the hottest topic in the next period of time.
China's first science fiction film has attracted much attention. Regardless of its quality, it will always be the center of discussion, not to mention that it was filmed by Chen Mubai, whom the public trusts very much.
From Tao Qingchao's perspective, this movie is excellent, and the audience's reaction was equally intense, which shows everyone's evaluation of the movie.
Coupled with the excellent special effects and the handling of those big scenes, this movie completely meets the standards, even as good as Hollywood blockbusters!
This is an important milestone for Chinese movies and a symbol of its rise!
Although Chen Mubai's previous movies have always had high box office and good response, they are actually not as good as Hollywood movies in terms of hard quality. It is those big scenes that most test the strength of a country's film industry.
Hard quality refers to special effects, rhythm transfer, etc. Hollywood is at the leading level in the world. It is also because the film has the highest degree of industrialization that it can be so successful.
Chen Mubai's previous works were more about pleasing plots and pleasing topics, but the real big scenes were actually a bit inferior, and "Iron Man" completely showed this weak link to the world!
It proves to everyone that China can also produce such shocking and big-scene movies!
The movie "Iron Man" not only proves to the world that China can produce works that reach the Hollywood level, but also proves that Chen Mubai himself has outstanding abilities and can control extremely industrialized films!
Both the pacing and plot control of the movie are top-notch, including the addition of jokes that make people smile, all of which seem so natural and not mechanically copied.
The most important thing is that the character image created is very successful, but it is more difficult to successfully portray a playboy that ordinary people hate into a heroic character.
After all, everyone naturally has colored glasses for this kind of character. If you want the audience to like him, you must first change the audience's inherent impression, and then you can like the character.
Compared with ordinary character creation, it is difficult to reverse the audience's inherent impression of a negative character.
Judging from the reaction of the audience, the vast majority of people liked the role of Downey, which means that Chen Mubai succeeded.
"Why did he admit it in the end?" Qin Qiu looked at Chen Mubai in confusion.
Since Downey had promised the government to conceal this matter, why did he admit his identity as Iron Man at the end?
From her point of view, if there is such a person in any country, it is actually safest to keep him behind his back. The country must have a psychology of protecting him by not allowing him to admit it.
Logically speaking, Downey must have known the country's intentions, so he agreed, but he suddenly betrayed him at the last moment. What was the reason for this?
Tao Qingchao and Tao Yaoyao also looked at Chen Mubai curiously, and they didn't know the reason.
Chen Mubai smiled and said, "Don't you think this is in line with his character?"
After hearing Chen Mubai's answer, the three of them thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case.
Regardless of whether concealing this matter is beneficial to Downey, but according to Downey's character, he can do whatever he wants, and he is not afraid of enemies. After all, with this equipment, ordinary people are no match for him.
"I think Mark's death changed him the most. Perhaps at the last moment of hesitation, he recalled Mark's words in his mind. So as he said, his character has various flaws and he is not a hero who can become a hero.
He is a human being, but he is willing to become a hero to protect China." Tao Qingchao expressed his thoughts.
"Reliable." Qin Qiu agreed.
This is also true. It is much better to admit it than not to admit it. At least from the perspective of character, it is established. Chen Mubai has read the answer, and has also analyzed Downey's character himself, and agrees with this approach.
In fact, there was no final scene in the original script of "Iron Man". This was a line that Robert Jr. added by himself at the time, which was an improvisation.
After the filming was completed, the director thought it was very good, so he stayed on and created a classic scene.
The reason why Robert Jr. said this at the time was because he got into the role. He thought he was Downey, and Downey would admit it, so he did it.
Robert Jr.'s life trajectory is very similar to Downey's. He was born in a family of actors. He has been a favorite since he was a child. He has a unique talent in acting. He has won awards and became famous at a young age. He also wanders around the flowers.
In the end, he lost his heart in the honor and money of being famous at a young age, started to play wildly, and took drugs that ruined him. He quit smoking once and then relapsed. This also made the media and movie fans disappointed in him, and finally he was reduced to a person with nothing to film.
situation.
As for the casting of "Iron Man", he was recommended by a friend. The protagonist Downey's experience and personality are very similar to his. However, because of his criminal record, Marvel is not afraid to cast him. After all, the media and the audience do not like him.
.
A movie, if the audience doesn't like the actor, will most likely fail, after all, people won't pay for it!
However, in the end, because the character fit so well, Marvel decided to take a desperate risk, and Robert Downey Jr. did not ask for much money. He only wanted a salary of US$500,000, which was basically zero pay for his role!
At this time, Marvel was on the verge of bankruptcy and had to borrow money from banks to film "Iron Man." Robert Jr. was at a low point in his life, and the media, the public, and the audience all boycotted him.
Both parties were down and out, but they came together, and the gamble was ultimately successful, ushering in the Marvel Age!
If it were not for this "Iron Man" and Robert Jr.'s wonderful performance, perhaps Marvel, which would become a hit in the future, would no longer exist!
When the movie ended, many viewers had already stood up and were preparing to leave the theater.
Some people were almost reaching the door, and suddenly someone shouted:
"Don't leave in a hurry, there are usually easter eggs in Chen Mubai's series of movies!"
Senior fans of Chen Mubai know him well, so they know that there must be easter eggs in this movie.
This sentence caused many people who stood up to leave to stop and stay in their seats to take another look.
Some people who were about to walk out were also called back. They did not return to their seats, but stood there at the exit, watching the big screen.
At this time, subtitles were still being played.
However, no one said anything, everyone was quietly waiting for the easter egg.
Sure enough, two minutes later, the movie screen started playing again.
Downey is in his villa, and artificial intelligence Jarvis welcomes him home.
He saw a man in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his back turned to him. Downey looked at him warily.
"I am Iron Man." The thick male voice repeated Downey's lines at the press conference, and then laughed:
"Do you think you're the only superhero in the world?"
"Mr. Downey, there are many people like you, but you don't know it yet."
"Who are you?" Downey looked at him seriously.
"Nick, Director of SHIELD!"
The speaker revealed his face, looked at Downey and said, "I want to talk to you about establishing the Avengers."
At this point, the movie ends!
"Brother Lu!?" Tao Yaoyao looked at the actor who played Nick in surprise, it was Lu Fang!
"Why did he get to be in this movie?"
Chen Mubai chuckled: "Didn't Sister Ran act in this movie? Brother Lu was convinced by us when he came to visit the class. He was originally interested in the movie, but he has never acted, so he has always refused to make a cameo."
"This movie is a series of movies. Nick will appear in many movies. I hope he will play this important role as a guest star and promote the Avengers. He has never agreed before. I have always asked Sister Ran to do ideological work for him.
Coming."
Tao Yaoyao said in surprise: "It really surprises me."
"However, according to what he said, his status should be very high!"
"Yes, he is the one who formed the superhero team, so he naturally has high rights and status."
There was a lot of information revealed in the easter eggs, which once again made the audience ecstatic.
...
Sun Dong and Zhao Xiaoxiao were very satisfied with the movie and felt that it was not in vain. They both liked the movie.
"marvelous!"
"I still want to see it. Let's do it again if we have time!" Sun Dong said excitedly.
"Okay." Zhao Ya said with a smile. She also liked this movie. Not only did it have funny special effects, it was on par with Hollywood blockbusters.
"I would recommend this movie to my friends, it's really good!"
Zhao Ya and Sun Dong posted on WeChat Moments respectively.
Sun Dong's social circle is all programmers. Many people at his age are not married or even have a partner, so blind dates during the New Year are a must!
He was the first among his colleagues to watch the movie, so he praised "Iron Man" in his circle of friends and strongly recommended everyone to watch it.
Many colleagues asked him how the movie was and whether it was really that good. Sun Dong always replied that it was very good. Many people said that they would take their girls to watch this movie when they go on a blind date.
Originally, in the world of programmers, movies made by directors like Chen Mubai are very popular, and since they are science fiction movies, many people are looking forward to them.
Now that Sun Dong has completed the drug test, there will definitely be no problem. Everyone's expectations for this movie are even higher.
...
Zhao Xiaoxiao's family went back after watching the movie very satisfied.
Along the way, Zhao Xiaoxiao kept talking and excitedly discussed the content of the movie. Her mother also enjoyed it. The two of them also agreed that they would watch superhero movies in the future.
Especially when it was revealed that Downey was not the only one in the end, everyone was very happy.
Even if you know about the superhero universe, you will still be very excited when you see this scene in the movie, especially when these heroes meet and get together!
“I want to post on Moments to recommend movies!”
After returning home, Zhao Xiaoxiao was immediately ready to recommend "Iron Man" on his WeChat Moments.
However, she found that her circle of friends had exploded, and many people had watched the movie. Everyone was excitedly praising the movie, and they all recommended watching it!
College students are the largest consumer group during holidays, and a large proportion of young people like Chen Mubai. "Iron Man" bombarded them in turn a month before it was released, and everyone has been looking forward to it.
I went to watch the movie as soon as it came out, and then I got feedback.
...
Not long after the screening of "Iron Man", all the relevant news came out.
This movie reports the most space, probably accounting for more than 70%, and the remaining 30% is the topic of all other movies!
Five of the top ten hot searches on WeChat are topics related to "Iron Man".
Even on the first day of the Lunar New Year, netizens were still discussing it fiercely.
“China’s first science fiction movie is really great!”
"I seem to have seen a Hollywood blockbuster. We finally have our own special effects blockbuster!"
"It's the first time I've seen such an excellent special effects movie. It's worth billions of yuan in production. I love it!"
"Highly recommended, highly recommended, highly recommended! Say important things three times!"
"Downey is so handsome, it's the first time I like such a crooked protagonist!"
"The robot arm fits the suit piece by piece, and the moment the mask comes off at the end, it's so cool!!!"
"I didn't expect to see Lu Fang make a cameo. All members of Mubai Entertainment are here~"
Some netizens were talking about the "Iron Man" movie and discussed that Downey played by Chen Mubai was very unique. There were also senior fans of Mubai Entertainment. Everyone recognized Lu Fang and naturally saw that he played Nick.
There are still people discussing the plot, and the majority of people are discussing this topic, because everyone is looking forward to the unfolding of the next part, or the appearance of other heroes.
After all, the easter egg said that there are many people like him, but Downey doesn't know it.
"Is Donnie's transformation related to Mark? If Mark had not died, would Donnie have become like this?"
"Why did Downey admit his identity as Iron Man at the end?" Someone asked the same question that Tao Yaoyao asked Chen Mubai at the time.
"Avengers, are you organizing a team to take revenge on someone?"
"If they are in the same world, why don't these superheroes know each other? Is it because the government has classified the matter as top secret to prevent it from being revealed, so the news has not been leaked and the public does not know. It seems that this is the only explanation...
.”
"Looking forward to the next movie. There are too many mysteries that have not been solved. The answers to these foreshadowings should be in the next movie or other superhero movies."
"It's not inferior to Hollywood blockbusters, the special effects are explosive, the movie has a good rhythm, is relaxed, tense, exciting, funny and tender. It's a rare excellent commercial movie, even Hollywood rarely has such excellent works!"
Thanks to the super high reviews and the strong recommendation in Moments by people who have watched it, many people’s Moments are filled with content related to this movie. This actually makes many people choose to watch movies during the Spring Festival.
, taking "Iron Man" as the first choice.
Chen Mubai's strong appeal and widespread publicity for China's first science fiction blockbuster have already made the film famous, so the pre-sale box office broke a series of records, and it has become Chen Mubai's best work.
After the premiere, the audience's high praise and word-of-mouth brought this movie into everyone's attention again, and it even outshone last year's Spring Festival Gala!
Every year, the Spring Festival Gala is a topic of greatest concern to people across the country. Everyone will discuss which programs are good to watch and which stars perform well. Generally, the news on the first day of junior high school mainly focuses on this aspect.
Today, "Iron Man" breaks this tradition. For the first time, a movie has more influence than the Spring Festival Gala on the first day of the new year!
This time there was no official explanation, it was all the spontaneous comments from the audience who had accumulated a lot of enthusiasm before.
Half a day after the movie was released, the box office has reached 200 million, and the number of people rating it on the Douya website is close to hundreds of thousands!
You must know that this is only half a day's data, this is too exaggerated!
The box office of this movie in half a day even exceeded the box office of some movies starring first-line stars. It took more than a month in half a day, which is really an exaggeration!
The rating on the Douya website is 9.1, which can be said to have beaten more than 90% of the films in the world!
Because there are more Chinese audiences in the ratings, everyone has a little filter. After all, it is the first domestic science fiction movie. The cool special effects and elaborate scenes have made everyone talk about it. It is normal for the ratings to be inflated.
However, this movie is a purely commercial movie, so it is not easy to achieve such a high box office.
Even among Hollywood's science fiction masterpieces, there are few works that can match the ratings of "Iron Man". Movies like this are generally commercial movies. Relatively speaking, the core of the story is very simple, and it is difficult to get high scores. This is the limitation of commercial movies.
limitation.
Even though everyone knew that this movie would definitely explode, they didn't expect it to be so explosive right from the beginning!
Some people even think that the movie hired a navy team. After all, when it was announced, the movie was very popular. Since I was willing to spend money at that time, I can also spend money to build publicity now.
Someone immediately jumped out to object to this statement.
Some professionals interpreted the film and said: "The reason why "Iron Man" received such a high score is not only because of its epoch-making significance, but also because it proved that China can also produce works with explosive special effects, while being outstanding in all aspects.
It loses to Hollywood, both in the pace and quality of the movie."
"The whole plot is relaxed and relaxed, which makes people feel interesting and tense at the same time. The structure of the film is very good. Even in Hollywood, there are few works with such strong rhythm."
The most important issue is the filter. Before its release, the movie was very popular and gave the audience high expectations. After its release, the quality of the movie did not disappoint, but surprised people. Therefore, in terms of objective ratings,
, it will be higher.
The real score of the movie is around 8.5. There are still some science fiction movies with this score, but a score of 9 is a bit too high.
Many people agree with this person's remarks. The movie is indeed excellent, but it is not that outstanding, but it does have great significance. From a personal perspective, many people hold the same point of view.
Chen Mubai currently only has 3 movies rated 9 points, one of which is "Infernal Affairs", which brought the silence of Hong Kong movies to glory again, and even made police movies that lasted for several years, which shows how much influence it has!
Moreover, this movie also has a lot of core and a lot of exploration of human nature. It allows everyone to see the helplessness and struggle of an undercover agent. It also reflects the complexity of human nature. Sometimes the path is not one's choice, and bad people do not always want to be bad people.
, good people can also get lost in the environment...
The other two parts are "I'm Not the God of Medicine" and "When Happiness Knocks on the Door".
Both tell the story of the social class environment and the struggling situation of the people at the bottom. One is more desperate and negative, while the other goes in the opposite direction, telling a healing and heartwarming story, but it is undeniable that both are based on
Personal situations are used to describe the social environment at that time and the many problems faced.
This kind of work that explores society and human nature is closer to a literary film, so the score will naturally be higher.
Even "Infernal Affairs" is not a police film in the traditional sense. There are very few gunfight scenes in the film, and it is more inclined to literary drama. If it is an ordinary movie, it will set the rhythm based on the conflict of the plot. A battle between police and criminals is indispensable.
Instead of spending a large amount of ink focusing on describing the situation and struggles of the two people.
Comparatively speaking, "Iron Man" is a purely commercial movie. It has humor and does not explore human nature. It just touches the point and allows everyone to see the change of the protagonist.
What everyone enjoys most about this movie is when the armor was created and when Downey flew into the sky and escaped while wearing the armor.
According to the current popularity of topics on the Internet, the process of putting on armor is the most popular topic, which also shows that this scene is the most unforgettable for viewers.
This movie can be so loved by everyone, and it is very successful as a commercial movie. For Chen Mubai and Mubai Entertainment, this huge investment will definitely not be a loss!
For the Chinese government, the appearance of such a movie will greatly enhance the influence of Chinese film and television works in the world, and will also promote the development of domestic film and television works!
At least, in the future, people will no longer think that domestic movies cannot produce explosive special effects because the money is not spent enough, and the blame can no longer be blamed on the technical level.
This is a good thing for the entire industry. After all, it will invisibly increase the audience's requirements. Investors can no longer fool the audience with rough production, and can only increase the investment budget to slowly improve the quality of the works.
Times Newspaper: "An epoch-making work. Who said China has no soil for science fiction?"
Shanghai Evening News: "Chen Mubai used a movie to tell us what science fiction is. He also let us know how to make a good movie, let us see the level of domestic special effects, and let us see the gap between us and the outside world."
Imagine how big it is!”
People's Daily: "High investment creates excellent movies, but investment is not everything. Making movies with care is the most critical factor. Money should be spent wisely. Explosive special effects are far more valuable than sky-high-priced actors. I hope that in the future
If more [Iron Man] appear, that is the future of domestic movies."
Entertainment newspaper: "Chen Mubai's rise has given us the ability to compete with foreign film and television works. Before the release of this movie, some people thought that Mubai Entertainment could replace the title of Bollywood [Oriental Hollywood]. Chen Mubai said that he did not want this name.
He wants to become someone who can compete with Hollywood. This movie gives me hope. I look forward to his superhero series and hope that he can become our Iron Man!"
