Made in Hollywood

As well-known filmmakers in this country, Jiang Xiaojun and Ge Baltou were recognized by sharp-eyed reporters before they walked out of the studio, and a female reporter quickly stopped them.

"You two, just watched "Transformers"..."

Obviously, the female reporter knew Jiang Xiaojun and Ge Baltou, and she asked directly, "Can you talk about your opinion on this movie?"

"The momentum of the movie is very grand." Ge Guangtou thought for a while, and then said, "Its visual effects are too excellent, and the technology used is also groundbreaking. These are unmatched by domestic movies... Well, there are also Staggering production cost."

"What do you think?" The reporter turned to Jiang Xiaojun.

Although he has been banned from directing films by Scissors for many years, Jiang Xiaojun is still a director. From the director's point of view, he said, "Duke Rosenberg used all the visual tools at his disposal to lead us watching movies like a master of strategy. People who appreciate the majestic scenes and spectacular views, although the story of this film is too simple, but in terms of technical effects, it is simply impeccable."

The reporter's eyes are not only aimed at celebrities, but also ordinary fans.

Ms. Lu, who works in China Merchants Bank, told reporters that she didn't like watching such movies at first, especially a bunch of movies played by machines, but now she has changed her opinion, "I think it's very shocking, mainly because of the special effects. I was stunned by a lot of ideas, the film can be made like this, and visually it can’t be faulty.”

Mr. Zhang, who works in an advertising agency, said, "Nowadays, both domestic and imported blockbusters have high ticket prices. I think it's worth spending money to watch such movies."

This is also the view of many fans.

After leaving the studio, Wang Ziming quickly returned home. Although it was late, he did not feel sleepy. His head was full of images of Autobots and Decepticons colliding. Those real scenes that seemed to happen in front of him once made him wonder if there would be any Transformers in the world he lived in.

The phone rang suddenly, Wang Ziming took a look at the number, and the caller was a friend of his. The other party is an avid Transformers lover, but he didn't go to the movies, and he didn't like Duke Rosenberg's movie much. The reason is very simple. The movie changed too many Transformers shapes.

"How is the movie?" A familiar voice came from the receiver, "It's disappointing, isn't it?"

"No, definitely not disappointing."

Holding the phone. Wang Ziming took a few steps back and forth in the room, and said in a decisive tone, "The special effects of "Transformers" are too good, if this movie is on the highest throne of CGI special effects, we watched "Caribbean" together. The special effects of Pirates 3 and Spider-Man 3 are only drawn in circles on the side steps. This is basically a two-level effect. "Transformers" just makes me hard to believe that these big guys are made with computers. They seem to exist in reality."

"This...is this true? You didn't lie to me?"

The voice in the receiver was hesitant, "He changed the shape of the Transformers. Aren't you dissatisfied?"

"Stop talking about the cubes in those cartoons, although this is our childhood memory. But I really have a hard time imagining what the effect of putting those cubes in this film will be, don't see a few stills Just shouting about these tattered iron like skeletons or something, because you can feel the shock of these 'tattered iron' on the screen, and I can guarantee that you will definitely accept these so-called tattered iron in the film."

It seems that I don't want my friends to miss such a wonderful video. Wang Ziming continued, "This film is not for telling us about life or pretending to be connotative. This film has only two purposes, first, to make money in your pocket, and second, to make you feel good after spending money. I just came out of the theater, and I saw that most of the audience who walked into the theater felt refreshed, and they were not as addicted as I was, and I plan to watch it for the second time tomorrow."

He asked, "Li Ping, are you going?"

"I……"

The man named Li Ping was still a little hesitant, "I'll look at the online comments first."

Hanging up the phone, Li Ping turned on his computer and went to Time.com, a professional movie website here. On the most conspicuous position on the homepage, Optimus Prime's huge avatar was particularly eye-catching. After he clicked the link, he didn't watch it. Others, but dragged the webpage to the bottom, here is the relevant comment column.

More than a thousand fans watched the premiere, and here are some comments.

"It's over, it's irrational again."

"The classic to death Transformers, even if the premiere is a bunch of posters, fans like me will be excited and shocked. I originally pretended to be calm, but the film lost my mind at the beginning."

"The film can only be described as amazingly gorgeous. When the mechanical sounds of the deformation sounded one after another, the entire theater was suffocated..."

"Just to say, I love Duke Rosenberg's Transformers."

Seeing this, Li Ping felt that he had returned to the era when everyone hated being called Bumblebee and everyone wanted to be Megatron. At that time, Decepticons were much more popular than Autobots. Now I want to come to Autobots every time. All wins were not so upright, and it was all the help of the director and screenwriter, which led to many of the peers around him saying in Megatron's tone-the enemy has found it and is ready to launch!

Unconsciously, he took out his mobile phone, dialed the number just now, and when the other side connected, he said directly, "Ziming, let's go together tomorrow!"

"Just look at the IMAX3D version. I'll go to book tickets first."

Hanging up the phone, Wang Ziming checked the Internet, and then dialed the number of one of the only 3 IMAX theaters in Shanghai, but what he got was disappointment. There are no tickets for the IMAX 3D version of "Transformers" tomorrow!

He called the other two movie theaters with IMAX theaters, but still got no tickets.

There was no other way, Wang Ziming had to settle for the next best thing and choose the 3D version. Fortunately, the 3D tickets were a little nervous, but they could always queue up to buy them.

"Called to book tickets, only to find out that the IMAX version of the ticket is gone. I finally got the 3D version of the ticket, and it's still tomorrow's midnight show."

He had no choice but to call his friend to inform him.

As the emotional bond connecting the generation born in the 1970s and 1980s, the status of "Transformers" is particularly prominent. Therefore, even in China, there are still Transformers fan clubs, Transformers annual meetings, and online fan exchange activities. These are enough to provide the most basic audience for the "Transformers" live-action movie.

As time turned to midnight, more "Transformers" screenings began to be shown, and more and more movie fans saw this commercial masterpiece, and the Internet was full of the opinions of ordinary movie fans.

On the Tianya Forum, a person whose ID is Optimus Prime left a message, "It's an understatement to say that this film will be 'fire', "Transformers" is too good to be true!"

"Transformers came back from watching the movie, the special effects are definitely top-notch, the film feels a little long to me," an anonymous netizen commented on Time.com, "But I like it very much!"

"OK, comment on "Transformers"? ... Wow wow! Incredible... Awesome!" This is what someone said to a friend on QQ.

Similar remarks can be seen everywhere on the Internet.

"I was completely shocked by Transformers! For more than 110 minutes, I felt like I was back to my childhood. Thank you, Duke Rosenberg! Also, the 3D stereoscopic effect is absolutely groundbreaking, shocking!"

"It was a spectacular experience like never before!"

"It's so cool! "Transformers" is simply unparalleled, shocking, and invincible!"

"Every second is filled with so many action scenes, after watching the film and walking out of the theater, you may be tempted to add another 100 yuan to the box office."

This is not the relatively mature movie market in North America. Both movie fans and the industry chain are in the initial stage of rapid development. Duke will not ignore the media's guidance on public opinion and its influence on the audience. The Internet navy is in this movie. Huge regional networks are also extremely popular.

Then there are professional film critics in this market. They are all in their infancy, and the prices are far less outrageous than those in North America. Only a few hundred dollars can be exchanged for the cheers of these people.

To put it bluntly, there is no difference in this industry on both sides of the ocean.

However, some people will not buy the account of "Transformers", some people will like this type of film, and some people will not like this type of film.

On Douban, a well-known petty bourgeoisie website in China, "Transformers" is not very popular.

Although Douban movies are full of "wonderful, shocking, successful" praises, they have also encountered some "bad reviews".

Someone bluntly suggested boycotting the film, "This loud, brutish movie will make you feel more miserable than happy."

Others questioned that the film was a commercial, "a disgusting, indoctrinated commercial to sell cars, toys and wars that falsely called itself a movie. It's not a movie, it's sour. Junk drink, don't let your kids touch it."

There is no doubt that Duke's production style is not very popular with mainstream users of this site.

Another commented, "From the moment the exploding Duke Rosenberg became the director of the film, Transformers lost its last chance to be a slightly passable film. He had no plans. , No style, no storytelling, no control of rhythm. He only knows how to stack special effects, only know how to pursue the biggest and the loudest, whether his stars are Nicholas Keyes, Keanu Reeves or those who will change A carload of robot giants, all he has to do is keep them together with cameras and shake them."

However, this is destined to be only the opinion of the minority, no matter what they say, it cannot change the fact that the audience lined up in front of the theater to buy tickets for "Transformers", and the major theaters are also full of confidence in the box office. (To be continued ~^~)
