Hollywood Drawing

At the beginning of the movie surrounding Diana Prince's childhood, not much information is given. The growth process of Wonder Woman as a child, the strict training method, the introduction to Paradise Island, and the long-legged female warriors who can be seen everywhere on Paradise Island.

The amount of information is not dense at all, but because of the relatively reasonable arrangement and story rhythm, it does not make the audience feel boring. As the beginning of a commercial masterpiece, this is enough.

In fact, what this film tells is the origin of Wonder Woman Diana Prince. Of course, the previous theme is to explain her life experience and growth.

And if you want Diana Prince to leave this uncontested paradise island, then there must be a sufficient reason. Cha Cha war, a war suspected to be led by the evil god of war Ares, is the perfect reason.

Diana Prince rescued Steve from the sea, and what followed was a beach battle between an Amazon warrior and her pursuers.

When modern hot weapons collide with primitive and wild cold weapons, what is presented to the audience is the first emotional climax of the movie.

Movies are actually a storytelling process. After a certain amount of foreshadowing is laid, a collision must be arranged appropriately. In exchange, there was a burst of low shouts from fans in the theater, and this beach battle was the turning point for Diana to leave the paradise island.

Next, Diana Prince took away the Excalibur and other equipment, said goodbye to her mother at the beach, and followed Steve on the boat to go to the outside world.

The ever-evolving plot sometimes caused chuckles and sometimes exclamations in the theater. This child-like superhero on the big screen unknowingly attracted the attention of all the audience. At least the chatter of movie fans in the theater was almost inaudible.

"I'm very suspicious now. Is this a movie made by Wayne Green?"

Michael Bay, who was sitting in the middle seat, turned his head, looked at his partner Digu and said: "From the beginning of the movie, I felt very awkward. I just realized it, f**k, this "Wonder Woman" So far, I can’t find Greenberg’s dark style!”

The magical and beautiful scenery shots, the explosive background music when the action scenes are performed, and more importantly, from the beginning of the movie, you can find humor elements everywhere in the movie! If you are a die-hard Wayne movie fan, you will be surprised and open your mouth at this time.

No one denies that Wayne Greenberg is a genius, a genius among geniuses. But as long as you are still an individual, you cannot be omniscient and omnipotent.

From Wayne's early "Get Out" and "Joker" to "The Dark Knight" that destined him to stay in film history, most people will naturally give a thumbs up when mentioning these great films. , giving all kinds of praise.

But there is only one thing that Wayne's die-hard movie fans know, and that is that in his works, you can find the test of human nature, bloody and explicit large-scale shots, fast and sympathetic stories, and even top-notch spatial layouts. and color information transmission, but it is impossible to find any funny elements, which simply does not match his style.

Moreover, in the early years, many media and critics analyzed that Wayne seemed to deliberately avoid humorous elements in his works. The more convincing conclusion is that this super genius among directors is not born with the ability to shoot humorous elements.

But no one would think this is a problem. Even if there are no funny plots in his works, there is still no denying the greatness of these works.

"The sophisticated composition successfully displays the bravery and tenderness of Wonder Woman. Well, the portrayal of this character is lovable enough."

Hearing Michael Bay's bewildered beep, Jerry Bruckheimer did not take his eyes off the big screen. He just tilted his head to his partner and said, "You are right, this is not a typical movie." Greenbergian film.

I have studied Wayne's movies carefully, and even watched "The Dark Knight" more than a dozen times. It can be said that he has completely changed everything from spatial layout to composition habits. The grand spatial layout of "The Dark Knight" and the resulting sense of epic opera are all lost in this film.

and..."

Speaking of this, Jerry Bruckheimer paused for a few seconds, slowly frowned, looked at Michael Bay beside him, and continued: "Compared to the "Joker" and "Batman" series, this "Magic" series There are not many obscure plots and religious references in "Women". This is probably where Wayne has changed the most. I found that there is no such thing. This time, he would rather use more scenes to shape the interaction between the male and female protagonists. !

As for the humorous elements, it’s not hard to guess at all. In order to cater to the mass market, Wayne added humorous elements to the film, optimized the main story line, and made it more complicated. In addition, he added appropriate background music and emotional fighting scenes. Wayne created this "Wonder Woman" The compromise is huge! "

"For the market? Where is Wayne Greenberg's artistic pursuit!?"

Michael Bay turned his head and looked at the fans behind him who were watching the movie intently, and found that everyone had a faint smile on their face. This shows that all the changes and compromises made by Wayne Greenberg have achieved the desired results.

In fact, from Jerry Bruckheimer's perspective, there is no doubt that Wayne is still making progress. The progress mentioned here is not an improvement in film shooting technology, but an improvement that definitely puts down the posture and caters to the market demand.

Hollywood has never lacked outstanding directors no matter what period it was in, but most of them have a lifetime of success with a single outstanding film.

People always feel sorry for these directors. After all, there are too many people who have made an outstanding work but have never produced a good work again, and it is so regrettable.

But Jerry Bruckheimer doesn't see it that way. In his eyes, these directors are not trying to make progress. Holding on to the past and outdated artistic pursuits and being unwilling to let go of one's stature and adapt to the rapidly changing market are the main reasons for similar situations to occur.

"I really don't understand. Warner Bros. should have seen this movie a long time ago. Why would they allow him to do this?" Michael Bay turned his attention to the big screen again.

In fact, he has a very unique understanding of what kind of movies movie fans like to watch, and he has always done so before.

But this does not mean that Michael Bay does not have the so-called pursuit of film art. He was fed up with the insulting abuse and attacks from film critics, as well as the ridicule caused by low professional ratings, so he held back his energy and wanted to rely on "Pearl Harbor" to prove to everyone that You can also play with art yourself.

In his view, Wayne Greenberg's sudden change in film style was a complete compromise. The thing is obvious, just looking at this "Wonder Woman", at least based on a small half of the scenes that have been screened, this film not only has no DC flavor, but also does not have Greenberg's dark style.

"If the heroine was not Wonder Woman Diana Prince, this would still be an excellent top commercial film."

Having seen an internal preview before, George Lucas was explaining to his friends. "I know your doubts. Wayne has brought the "Batman" series of movies to a level far beyond the scope of comic-book movies. But first there was "The Flash", and then this "Wonder Woman", It seems that the traces of DC comics are getting less and less in his hands."

"That's right."

Steven Spielberg nodded and said with a smile: "Do you think it was because of the good results of "The Flash" that Wayne fell in love with this style?"

"no!"

Unexpectedly, George Lucas shook his head and refused. He looked into his friend's eyes, stretched out a finger, tapped Steven Spielberg's chest, and said, "Because Wayne and you are the same person." Mankind, all the changes you made to the shoot were for one reason only, and that was for money."

Seeing his friend's eyes slowly widening, George Lucas shrugged. "Okay, let me put it in a nicer way, it's for the market and for the love of the fans, okay?"

Steven Spielberg nodded silently and turned his attention to the big screen again.

For the sake of the market, yes, "Wonder Woman" will have a concise storyline, humor elements that Wayne is not good at, and will even choose a large number of long-legged beauties, as well as emotional background music and fighting scenes. , in fact, they are all designed to cater to the tastes of the public.

During the screening of the movie, Wayne would turn his head from time to time, using the little light of the projector in the dark to observe the reactions of the more than 2,000 spectators behind him.

Overall, his conclusion based on fans' reactions so far is that "Wonder Woman" is a good answer.

After the post-production work of the film was completely completed, Warner Bros.’ internal executives and a large number of film viewing experts had already watched the finished film for the first time. The film is quite different from Wayne's previous DC works, as anyone who has watched the film in advance will notice.

But why do Warner Bros. executives and film viewing experts give high marks to this "Wonder Woman" and even turn a blind eye to the missing DC elements in the film?

It can only be said that Warner Bros. executives and film viewing experts are very sensible and realistic. Undoubtedly, everyone has more or less thought that the reason why Wayne arranged the movie this way is because he chose the safest narrative method for "Wonder Woman".

In fact, some executives and film experts have expressed their opinions during the test screenings. Their most unanimous evaluation is that this "Wonder Woman" is the most suitable for the general public's taste among all Wayne's previous works. At least, if you watch the video without thinking, there will be no time when people will have a "black question mark face".

"Aren't you afraid that your die-hard fans will be dissatisfied?"

Naomi Watts watched it with gusto, and Wayne was right about one thing, that is, this film, if she puts aside her slight dislike for Angelina Jolie and watches it from the perspective of an audience, is indeed very special. Suitable for her taste.

However, when she saw Diana Prince on the battlefield, holding an aegis and charging against the hail of bullets, she couldn't help but turn her head, look at the man beside her and joked:

"Gene Era"

"Don't tell me, the enemies on the battlefield specifically aimed at Diana's shield before shooting! Shit, why didn't they hit that b***h on the thigh? Do they also like to see long legs? ?Afraid it would be a pity if it gets damaged?"

"Nami, don't say you don't understand the filming rules of the movie." Wayne curled his lips helplessly and glared at the Australian girl next to him.

That's right, the armor worn by Diana Prince did not cover her big white legs at all, but those bullets and other things were all ignored, and she only hit the shield.

However, such superficial and logical bugs can be found in every movie. This completely falls under the category of unspoken rules of filming. Not to mention that the current "Wonder Woman" is like this, in a few years, the busty beauty team will still be like this.

There are many similar unspoken rules, and movie fans will naturally not make any fuss about them.

For example, in normal commercial movies, you will never see scenes of children being bloody and injured. In action and science fiction films, there will never be background passers-by, and shots of a large number of people being injured and killed will only give an injury-death figure through circumstantial speculation at best.

Another example is that a bullet can never kill the protagonist, but for a supporting role, one bullet is enough...

Especially in superhero movies or monster movies, the protagonists and villains often have super powerful weapons. When they fight, will they not affect passers-by?

When a building collapses or something like that, you will only see the number of casualties afterwards, or the director simply ignores this aspect. Normally, there are no moviegoers to compete harshly with these things.

"I didn't expect you to make such a big change in style all of a sudden."

Naomi Watts put away her joking expression, looked at the man next to her seriously, and sighed: "Is it for the market? Are you really not afraid of your die-hard fans swearing?"

"There will definitely be some different voices, but DC comic book movies are not DC comics after all."

Wayne shook his head slightly and explained: "Nami, comic book fans may not even account for one-twentieth of the movie audience. I am responsible for the 200 million US dollars invested by Warner Bros. It is impossible for me to Deliberately pleasing comic book fans and making the movie obscure.”

Having said this, he pondered for a moment and continued: "Also, I conclude that special effects and tighter rhythm in movies will be a major trend in the future, and this will become more and more obvious."

"Trend?"

"That's right."

Wayne nodded and did not continue to explain. He just motioned to the Australian girl to finish watching the movie first and they could talk about this topic at home.

I am afraid that all filmmakers in this era cannot imagine the changes that streaming media will bring in the future. As for Wayne, he still remembers very clearly that even though most of his friends in his previous life were mainly engaged in the film and television industry, they were becoming increasingly impatient to sit down and watch a movie.

Even many of these young people are impatient to listen to a song in its entirety! People are pursuing fast tempo, and they even don’t need the previous chorus, just listen to the high-pitched part.

This is an inevitable product brought about by social changes. It is also an inevitable change brought about by streaming media, the Internet, short videos, and the rapid introduction of information. No one can stop it. In fact, let alone having the patience to watch a movie, many people don’t even have the patience to sit down and pick up a book to read.

In this context, the pace of movies is getting faster and faster, otherwise, they will only be eliminated by the times. Wayne Chacha understands better that in today's relatively slow-paced era, if a movie can simplify the main plot, maximize the special effects, and tighten the rhythm, the success rate will be called a bug.

After all, ordinary people in this era have not been brainwashed by the fast-paced information explosion, right?
