While major news media are touting "Iron Man", film critics on the Douya website have already given their evaluation and interpretation of the movie.
Famous film critic Roger:
"When I walked out of the cinema, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, I couldn't help but fall into deep thinking - for such a masterpiece, what on earth did the director want to tell us? What mystery is hidden in it?"
"With this question in mind, let's review the entire film. There are three main characters who promote the development of the plot, a terrorist leader, Jason, and Mark."
"Terrorists can purchase a large number of Tang Group's weapons, even the latest Jericho missiles. It can be seen that their organization is very rich, and they cannot buy those weapons without money, and weapons are their livelihood.
So they are not short of money, but they have no research and development capabilities, so after catching Downey, they hope he can help them develop weapons."
"Jason is very rich. He is an important figure in the Tang Group. He has status, money and wealth. He also has his own scientific research team. However, he has no core technology and only knows how to plagiarize. However, he cannot create Downey's masterpiece."
"Mark was the person who changed Downey. He had ideals, ambitions and standards, so he was able to become close friends with Downey in a short period of time. It was also because of his selfless dedication and sacrifice that he awakened Downey's true meaning of life. In the end,
Became Iron Man."
"The reason why Downey was able to win the last place is because he is a super awesome engineer, scientist, super awesome engineer. He can complete rapid design and development in harsh environments, and he never forgets to improve the products in a comfortable environment.
Testing and upgrading. That ultimately won the whole thing.”
"So, "Iron Man" tells us a truth, research and development is the last word, blindly throwing money or plagiarism will not make it happen. This is what Chen Mubai told us. If we want China's film and television industry to go further, we need to be strong ourselves.
, it can’t be solved by just throwing money or plagiarism, but you need to do it seriously and make movies with heart, so that you will laugh to the end. This is how he came along!"
Many netizens have expressed their agreement, and this is indeed the truth when it comes to the plot of the movie and Chen Mubai's real-life rise.
At least, Chen Mubai has never thought about remaking any classic works since he started filming film and television dramas. Even many of the IP adaptations bought by the company are not his works. The works he shot are all his own creativity, and naturally there is no reference.
, elements of plagiarism.
This time, Roger did not analyze the movie from the plot, but dug out news from Chen Mubai from another angle...
However, the few points he mentioned are indeed very important elements in the movie and are also turning points.
This movie is so popular that so many critics have reviewed it.
Another well-known film critic analyzed it this way:
"Let's start from Downey's own perspective and take a look at his growth trajectory. First of all, according to the introduction of the movie, he is a person with a very high IQ. He has demonstrated extraordinary abilities and IQ since he was a child. He is young and
He went to the best university in the world at a young age, and his family is very wealthy, which is why he has such a character."
"First, the environment is the most important factor in a person's growth. It is not an exaggeration to say that Downey was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. His parents died early, and he has no relatives to take care of him. It is normal for him to have an arrogant and domineering personality. Plus, he is a proud son of heaven.
Despite his background, it can be said that he does whatever he wants. He took over the Tang Group at a young age and developed it, which shows how powerful he is!"
"When he first started selling weapons, I believe his original intention was to use them to protect the country. Because his growth environment meant that he would not be exposed to too many war-torn things. This was the limitation of his vision. At the same time, he
He is a man in science and engineering. For men in science and engineering, scientific research is what they are most interested in. They do not pay too much attention to other things. This is also the case in the movie. However, because of his identity, he is rarely exposed. In the eyes of everyone,
It's normal to get lost in praise and honors and enjoy a life of wine and sex. For the team, they have everything. This is life."
"It wasn't until he saw with his own eyes that the weapons he made were used by terrorists, coupled with his identity as a prisoner, that he realized that his previous ideas might be wrong, and Mark's influence on him made him
He suddenly realized that the demise of Mark's family was inseparable from him. After all, the weapons used by the terrorists were produced by the Tang Group, which meant that Downey became a knife in the hands of the terrorists in disguise, massacring many innocent people."
"After Downey got out of trouble, this experience made him clearly realize that his previous ideas were wrong, so he wanted to make up for it, close the weapons department, and continue to develop the armor to further develop it. In fact, this is what he understood [
The meaning of "Rebirth" is also Mark letting him know the meaning of life. He strengthens the armor just to make it the best, and then he protects others, so that there is no need to produce weapons anymore!"
"And he finally admitted his identity as Iron Man in front of everyone because he must have been prepared to protect China in his heart. Mark saved him with his own life, so he will use this life to do more meaningful things.
This is his promise to Mark!"
"The good thing about the movie "Iron Man" is that it is real. Heroes are also ordinary people. They also have various flaws. They are not born fearless, nor are they inexplicably dedicated to others, just like
What Downey said is that he is not a hero because this title represents perfection, and he is not that kind of person, so he does not accept this title."
"Looking back at Downey's character, we found only shortcomings and not a single advantage. For example, he is arrogant, arrogant, and only cares about himself without caring about others. He is also a playboy. Chen Mubai has created a completely different screen character. In previous movies,
Heroes always have various advantages, and all we see in Downey are shortcomings, so why do we all like this character? Because we all actually envy Downey, and every one of his shortcomings is what people
The elements you yearn for, whether it is wealth, fame, IQ..."
"I have to say that Chen Mubai created a person with many shortcomings, but he still made us like him. This is the most important point and the most difficult thing. In my opinion, this movie is to tell everyone,
Everyone can be a hero, even with all kinds of shortcomings, because heroes are not perfect!"
...
First grade of junior high school.
Lu Fang and his party gathered at Chen Mubai's home, and Qian Duoduo and others also came.
"The box office of the movie exceeded 400 million on the first day!" Lu Fang told everyone this information very excitedly.
"I envy Sister Ran so much!!!" Qian Duoduo said sourly.
"It's indeed amazing." Li Feng couldn't help but nodded, then looked at Chen Mubai and said in admiration: "Your previous gamble was very bold, and now I'm shocked when I see the results."
Ji Qin also smiled and said: "This movie not only received support from above, but also received support from the audience, making our superhero series instantly popular. This is a very successful promotion. These movies are tied to each other, and
It opens a door for science fiction movies, and China's film and television industry has promoted it!"
Everyone already knew this result, so they were not particularly surprised when they heard the result.
Shang Ran plays the role of Pei Bo in this movie, and she is a well-deserved heroine, but compared to Downey, her role is not that important, and she is not that outstanding.
From a purely character perspective, the character Pei Bo is actually very likable, but Downey is even more stunning, which is why people tend to overlook the character Pei Bo.
"What are you envious of? It's not like you don't have roles." Shang Ran looked at Qian Duoduo amusedly, and said with the same envious tone: "You are definitely the leading actor, a superhero, and I am not..."
As soon as it was kicked to you, you kicked the ball back... Qian Duoduo said with a silly smile: "Haha..."
This movie is seeing its box office hit 4 billion or even 5 billion. How could you not be envious of Qian Duoduo?
Even if he knew that Chen Mubai had prepared a heroic role for him, the box office might not be so high!
Judging from the current situation, Shang Ran may become the actress with the highest box office in China, and it is very possible with this movie alone!
In fact, it is certain that she will become the highest-grossing actress in the future. After all, there is a sequel to "Iron Man". Judging from this high popularity, the subsequent results will not be bad.
Furthermore, she still has the box office of the "Alien" series to count, and she is the starring role!
"There is still good news that I haven't said yet!" Lu Fang continued.
"What?" Qian Duoduo looked at him curiously.
Is there anything more important than the 400 million box office on the first day?
“The first day box office in North America is out, it was US$104 million on the first day!”
"I'll wipe it!"
"Hiss~"
Qian Duoduo and others were shocked by this data.
North America has the largest ticket sales in the world, but they didn't expect "Iron Man" to be so successful!
It is normal for movies in China to have a high box office. After all, it is a movie produced in China and it is the first science fiction movie. It has a lot of emotional bonuses, but these elements are not available in North America. In addition, due to the incident between Chen Mubai and Oscar, some people actually hate Chen Mubai.
They really didn’t expect this movie to have such a high box office on its first day in North America!
Converted into RMB, the movie’s first-day box office was 700 million, nearly twice that of China!
In other words, the box office of "Iron Man" on the first day was 1 billion yuan!
The investment in this movie was more than 1 billion yuan, and one-third of the investment was recovered in one day. Within a week, all the investment in this movie was recovered. This is a movie that will definitely make a lot of money.
!
"This is... too fierce!" After a while, Qian Duoduo took a deep breath and said with a slight shock.
"It's really too strong. This is a piece of gold!"
After surprise, came joy. Li Feng realized that the superhero movie series would become the hen that lays golden eggs.
After all, "Iron Man" is the first one and has such high popularity and popularity. Needless to say, the sequel will only have an increasing impact!
Not to mention, there are other superheroes who haven't appeared yet. According to the joint relationship, it won't be bad at all.
"I have begun to long for my own heroic role. I really hope to start filming as soon as possible!" Qian Duoduo said excitedly.
"I really envy you this time." Shang Ran said.
There is definitely a difference between having a role and not having one. Pei Bo will never be the protagonist in front of Downey, nor will he be in a dominant position. The audience's attention will also be on Downey.
Things are different for Qian Duoduo. As long as he plays a superhero, the audience's attention will be on him, and his movie box office is his real achievement.
Although "Iron Man" has a high box office, strictly speaking, it is not she who is resisting the box office, but Chen Mubai. There is still a fundamental difference.
If possible, Shang Ran would like to exchange it with Qian Duoduo~
"I was thinking, if there is an Easter egg in "Iron Man" about forming the Avengers, will these heroes get together and make separate movies?" Tao Yaoyao suddenly asked.
At the same time, everyone's eyes were on Chen Mubai, waiting for his answer.
Iron Man is already so popular as a hero. No matter what, the other heroes will have a certain degree of popularity. If these heroes are gathered in one movie, then you can imagine the popularity!
"Yes!" Under the expectant eyes of everyone, Chen Mubai nodded slowly.
!!!
This is how everyone feels now, so surprised!
Any superhero is the absolute protagonist in the respective series of movies. If these protagonists are put in a movie, who will be the protagonist?
How to highlight the role?
In other words, some people will like all kinds of heroic characters. When these characters are put together in a drama, how to balance their roles and influences in order to satisfy fans and audiences?
"Have you thought about how to balance the drama between these heroes?" Qian Duoduo's voice became more solemn.
He has a heroic role to play, so this incident has the closest impact on him.
After all, each hero is definitely different and everyone likes different things. They all have fans. Whoever’s role and role is reduced will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the fans of the hero and the viewers who like the hero series. This is the most difficult thing.
, when the protagonists from several movies are put together in one play, this balancing relationship is the most difficult to control, and it is difficult to please fans.
For example, although Downey is liked by many people, there are also many who hate him because he has too many character flaws. Although he is considered an "alternative" heroic character, many viewers still like protagonists who are upright and self-sacrificing.
When a hero with this kind of personality appears, these people will definitely like him.
Then the fan groups of these two characters are in opposition. In a movie, how to satisfy the fans of both sides is the biggest problem. If Downey's role and influence are enlarged, the other group of fans will inevitably be dissatisfied, which will lead to
If the resistance is serious, it will affect fans' perception of the series of movies and even Mubai Entertainment!
In fact, what a series of movies needs most is fan stickiness. For example, "Iron Man" can have such a big impact, which means that there are many people who like this movie, and it will inevitably transform a huge audience into Downey fans.
Once Downey's influence declines in other movies, or his role is reduced, his fans will definitely be dissatisfied. Not to mention the impact on the "Avengers" movie, it may even affect the "Iron Man" series!
Because many people will lose their fans, although putting all the heroes in one movie is a powerful gimmick, if not done well it will be a graveyard and the impact of the hero's series will be reduced.
To put it bluntly, this is a move with high risks and high returns.
"This is all a matter later, so there is no rush for now." Chen Mubai said: "Right now, we need to bring out the heroes and see how the market responds first."
"Yes, although this concept was introduced in the easter egg, it will still take a few years to get involved in this movie. These heroes have not appeared yet, so there is really no rush." Lu Fang answered.
"Let's see the audience's response first. We will take the road step by step. If we consider the future now, it will affect the current progress."
Lu Fang feels that there is no need to consider such long-term matters at present. After all, Iron Man has just been a hero. If the balance between heroes is considered before filming other hero movies, it is very likely that other hero movies will be affected during the filming.
Causing distress.
Sometimes overthinking is not a good thing. The most important thing is to be present in the present moment. First make each hero movie and then at least establish the characters and characters to see how the audience responds.
The success of "Iron Man" is just a good start. It does not mean that all future hero movies will be successful. We still need to work hard, but the starting point is much higher.
"So what's the next hero movie you're planning to release?" Li Feng looked at Chen Mubai curiously and asked.
""Captain of China"."
"Captain of China? What do you mean?" Everyone was puzzled.
Chen Mubai explained: "The background is during World War I. China sent troops to fight. At that time, the atmosphere in the country was to defend the country. A thin young man went to report..."
Chen Mubai adapted "Captain America", and the background of the story was also set in China. Then, because there was no World War II in this world, the background was set in World War I.
""Captain China" started out as a soldier, and it can also promote the country's national defense capabilities, and it can match the main theme..."
"This story is great!" Li Feng praised it after hearing it.
Qian Duoduo nodded excitedly: "It's indeed very good, and this character has strong patriotic sentiments. This is what attracts the audience the most. The protagonist's character is close to perfect, and he is the opposite extreme of Downey. This is a very attractive character."
Pink role!”
After a long while, Qian Duoduo swallowed his saliva, looked forward to it but suppressed his excitement and asked: "Is this role for me?"
Chen Mubai was a little amused when he saw Qian Duoduo's nervous look. This character is indeed the most popular one, and he is also the one who can compete with Downey!
No matter in terms of popularity, influence or number of fans, it is not inferior to "Iron Man". It is indeed a very successful work and a classic character.
"yes."
Hearing Chen Mubai's admission, Qian Duoduo instantly showed a look of ecstasy!
"marvelous!"
Tao Yaoyao asked another question: "Both "Iron Man" and "Captain China" are set in China, so are other heroes the same?"
"No." Chen Mubai shook his head and refused.
Although in the world of Marvel, everything appears in one country, Chen Mubai is not prepared to do this. This is actually a bit of a plot bug.
Just like Spider-Man and Thor, how can no one know about what people like Spider-Man and Thor do? Besides, Downey is not an ordinary person. His level is enough for him to have access to and understand some top-secret files in this world.
If you were a civilian like Spider-Man, the source of the information might not be accessible and the government might cover it up. But if you were a world celebrity, it would be different. This is a matter of the level of access you have due to your status. Downey is top notch!
Therefore, Chen Mubai divided the characters into different countries here. In this way, what happened in each country was listed as the highest file and kept strictly to prevent leakage. It is excusable that other countries do not know about it.
This can be regarded as completing a plot loophole. The most important thing is that it also has the advantage of attracting audiences from that country!
No matter how popular "Iron Man" is, it is still a hero of China. Audiences in other countries may find it enjoyable, but they may not necessarily like and support it that much.
But what if his background is placed in South Korea and Japan?
I'm afraid that audiences in these two countries will be more inclined to like this character, which can provide a lot of help and influence to the character. It can also give the audience in that country more emotional support and maximize the influence of the movie!
"Spider-Man" is set in the United States, and "Thor" is set in Northern Europe. After all, the characters themselves originate from Nordic mythology and can gain support from Nordic audiences.
The "Avengers" is an organization supported by the United Nations. It collects heroic figures from various countries and lets them form a team to face the enemies of the universe. The premise of this background setting is that Nick and others know about the world.
Various things that exist, and enemies in the universe are also known, so this alliance was formed.
In this way, Nick has gained the support of countries around the world, and can naturally contact heroes from various countries and persuade them to join the organization.
"I will put them in different countries and then bring them together, so in their respective movies, they are all well-deserved protagonists. Because of this, their information is blocked by the country and is not known to the world."
Chen Mubai's explanation made everyone nod in agreement. This logic is reasonable.
"Then Captain China and Iron Man are in China, how could they not know?"
Qian Duoduo asked aloud: "According to the plot, Downey's father was a national scientific researcher at that time and was also involved in the research of atomic bombs. A scientist of his level must know about Steve's existence."
"Indeed." Chen Mubai nodded and admitted: "Even Steve's strengthening was indirectly participated in."
"First of all, Downey's father died a long time ago. Downey was still young at the time, so naturally he didn't know about this matter. Moreover, this matter was classified as top secret. As a national-level scientific researcher, keeping secrets is not a problem.
"
"Another point is that Steve's ending was frozen in the end. He lost a century. The people who knew these secrets were all very old. Even the top leaders of the government had a new generation of leaders. Who could know this?
There are even fewer people.”
"I see." Lu Fang and others once again admired Chen Mubai's talent.
It can be seen from the final ending of "Iron Man" that Chen Mubai has already designed a series of stories, so the characters, settings and relationships between the characters are all related. This is not a simple thing.
"Has the script of "Captain China" been written?" Qian Duoduo asked eagerly.
