Chapter 509 509. Another step closer to the goal 【Subscription】

The current Jaws rating is 8.3.

This score is not bad, at least higher than the previous version, in this respect.

Wu Ying's ability to tell stories has been greatly improved.

"Every step of the atmosphere paves the way, like spreading bread crumbs, leading people to the great white shark that has been calling for a long time."

"Basically, he uses all the techniques of classic horror movies, but it's a bit too routine. Anyway, every time the scene gets smaller and the depth of field leaves a corner, I know to scare people. It's either a human head or a shark. After all, it's still interlaced like a mountain. What impressed me the most was the part where the sheriff stared at the sea on the beach before the shark attacked for the second time, and the effect was astonishing.”

"The scene of the great white shark attacking on the beach for the first time was extremely wonderful. There was no real body revealed, and it was replaced by the subjective first-person perspective underwater, which invisibly increased the sense of oppression. And the perspective of this scene has always been in the Substituting the identity of the sheriff, multiple shots of different scenes are cut, and the arrangement of the close-up, mid-range and long-range shots in the screen is full of thought, and the sliding zoom when the danger comes is really wonderful."

"This film once again proves a sentence: monsters are always the reflection of human beings. The content drawn by the great white shark in the film is more interesting than itself. Facing the greed for profit, the conflict and understanding between idealism and practicality, The psychological trauma of war on veterans. The unimaginable existence of "monsters" must be compared with human beings to exert their full charm."

"The rhythm of the film is relaxed, the climax is tense and exciting, the special effects of the model seem relatively simple today, but the effect is still extraordinary, and the soundtrack is exciting. In addition to the horrifying disaster atmosphere, the film is not lacking in the excavation of human nature. In addition, the underwater corpse That part really freaked me out."

"The beginning is attractive, and the story and several main characters are slowly drawn out. The chats of several characters tell the protagonist's own story. The big villain in the film, the Great White Shark, does not appear until 1 hour and 20 minutes into the film. With a straight face, that scene really shocked me, it's really big!"

……

The general audience's tone is somewhat similar to that of film critics.

For example, film critic Wang Xi commented on "Jaws" in this way: "A typical heroic adventure story. In the movie "Jaws", because the shark killed the residents of the seaside town, the sheriff and others decided to hunt it down. The battle with sharks is actually a process of struggle between technology, civilization and primitiveness, and savagery. In the end, the sheriff and others successfully killed the shark, which means that justice successfully defeated evil, and the peace and order of the town continued to be maintained. .

In films with traditional heroism themes, the sheriff is undoubtedly the representative of bravery and justice.

In the film, the sheriff who comes to the town from the very contemporary city of New York is the one who brings law and order to the local residents.

For the initial incident of shark cannibalism, in order to ensure the safety of residents, he always insisted that the beach should be closed and opened to the outside world, and the interest group represented by the mayor further expanded the death of people in pursuit of profit, which prompted the sheriff to decide to hunt. catch sharks.

In the final "big duel", the great white shark was successfully killed by the sheriff, completing his character's mission.

Besides, there are old sailors.

He fishes for a living and is the only person in the town capable of hunting sharks.The old sailor has the general characteristics of the old cowboy, skilled, calm, but wild and unruly.

However, his fishing method is traditional, and he believes that one person, one rod, and one boat are enough.In the climax of the film, the old sailor finally died in the mouth of the shark, which may imply the director's negation of the old part of the film tradition in the past.

And of course biologists.

If what the old sailor is rendering is a kind of castration, then the marine biologist represents a kind of affirmation of the future.

The addition of biologists makes the film modern and plays an important role in the story.His scientific judgment made the sheriff believe in the real existence of the great white shark, and once made the sheriff "hero useless" during the hunting process.

In the end, only the biologist and the police chief survived. As the two traveled to the distance, what they showed was the fusion of tradition and modernity, which coincided with the development direction of today's Chinese-language films.

Contrary to that.

The first is city leaders.

As mentioned earlier, the city leaders and others represent capitalist interest groups, which have the same meaning as the capitalists in heroism films.

When sharks threaten human life, city leaders continue to open the beach for profit, which makes sharks worse. From a macro perspective, it is human selfish desires that offend nature, and the great white shark is just the image of evil in human nature. .

Next is "Jaws."

The great white shark is actually an ideographic symbol, similar to the desperate bandits in western movies, symbolizing violence, brutality and selfish desires.

At the beginning of the movie, with the help of the contrast of warm and cold tones, close-up shots of characters, and rapid music, the great white shark is full of mystery and horror.

Because human behavior further offended nature, the selfish desires of the mayor and others were projected onto this huge "monster", which made the justice side represented by the sheriff confront and discipline this evil of human nature.

The core of heroic movies is generally to bring civilization and order to the wild world and protect the safety of the people in the small town. This stylized story "coincidentally coincides" with this film.

This task is completed by the character image represented by the sheriff in this film, and combined with the "Golden Fleece" narrative mode, the team composed of the sheriff, the old sailor, and the marine biologist, in order to hunt the great white shark With this goal, we started the adventure together. "

……

In terms of media, most of the reports on "Jaws" were well received. Of course, there are also some critical voices. After all, disaster movies are not everyone's favorite.

But the audience doesn't care about that.

For the audience, the movie is good enough.

Simply put.

Jaws is a movie that audiences are willing to pay to see.

that's enough.

of course.

It's not just the movies that the media is reporting on.

And Wu Ying.

It is said that Wu Ying has proved that she has the ability to become the nine pillars of Jiaxing Media.

The title of Nine Pillars was also evaluated by the media.

Now Wu Ying is so fierce.

It also indirectly proved that they were right.

Not to mention the previous "I'm Not the God of Medicine", but now "Jaws" directly restarts a genre.

Don't think about it.

The next disaster movie will definitely spring up like mushrooms.

but.

Compared with the other members of Jiaxing Media, Wu Ying's limelight is still not strong enough.

Rozen didn't say anything.

After all, there is still a difference between animated movies and live-action movies.

Just talk about Jiang Yi and Yu Kui!
The limelight of the two directly overshadowed Wu Ying.

no way.

One is a well-known international director, and the other is also an international "new director".

And Wu Ying!

Now it is only making its mark in the country.

Compared with these two people, is it for sure that they pale in comparison?
but.

Wu Ying is not without her own characteristics.

It is rare in China to be published by a director with a small but broad mind.

Don't look at the current box office of "Jaws" is only 16 billion!
But its cost is only less than 5000 million.

The rate of return is quite high!
However, compared with Jiang Yi and the others, today's audience is obviously more interested in blockbuster movies, which is why many people are still unfamiliar with Wu Ying.

Small cost often means niche.

And big costs mean globalization.

But now after the wave of "Jaws", Wu Ying can really become popular.

Nothing but three.

For three consecutive films, each of which has made such significant progress, it would be really strange if none of them became popular.

The fire here.

It is different from the high popularity of celebrities.

It's the degree of discussion among its own fans.

"The rise of Wu Ying is one step closer to our goal of snatching the 'world film kingdom'."

"From Jiang Yi, to Luo Zhen... to Wu Ying today, Lu Chen has proved to us time and time again how vicious his vision is. Before, we thought Jiaxing Media without Lu Chen would be like without Lu Chen. The beast with its minions, now! Jiaxing Media is telling us with actions that without Lu Chen, they still have Jiang Yi, Luo Zhen, Yu Kui, and now Wu Ying. In addition, Jiaxing Media’s The film directors are still Zhong Lei and Chen Hui. Both Zhong Lei and Chen Hui have proven themselves before, and they have also used their strength to tell other directors in the industry that they should not be underestimated.

It is said that Chen Hui is filming a big production at this time, and the co-actor is still Wu Jing.It can be seen that Lu Chen still believes in his ability as an assistant director, otherwise Chen Hui would definitely not be allowed to take over such a big production.

Now, the group of directors trained by Lu Chen have unknowingly become the sharp knives of Jiaxing Media. Maybe he is not fatal, but they are no longer the existence that everyone can ignore (this sentence is for Hollywood. Those companies listen), as the directors of Jiaxing Media, they have all resisted the pressure, with them, we have reason to believe that they have the ability to regain the title of "World Film Kingdom"..."

This is the "Literary News" report.

Lu Chen saw this report on the portal website, and this report also made Lu Chen smile!

The Seven Great Swordsmen of Jiaxing Media.

Definitely able to penetrate all the defenses of Hollywood.

Lu Chen is very confident about this.

to this end.

Lu Chen directly made "Jaws" landed in Hollywood.

Movies like "Jaws" are called heroic movies in China.

And in Hollywood.

There is also a special title, called western movies,
Western films, also known as "cowboy films", are a unique type of film in Ugly Hollywood.

Set in the 19th century during the western development of the ugly country, it shows the life of the pioneers, the struggle among various forces in the process of western development, and the bloody activities of white people driving and massacring the royal Indians.

Most of the characters in western films are good and evil. In 1903, "The Great Train Robbery" directed by Porter is considered to have created the Western film model, and a large number of Western films appeared in the 20s.

After the 30s, it gradually matured, shooting a series of excellent works such as "Flying across the Guanshan", "The Searcher", and "Red River Valley".

Since the 60s, Western films have gradually declined.

It was revived in the 80s, and films such as "Dances with Wolves" appeared, and the mood and connotation have changed significantly from before.

The cultural background and spiritual connotation of Hollywood western films mainly include the following points.

The first is advocating independence and freedom and demonstrating personal dignity.

The second is the sense of justice, responsibility, and mission in the heart of the western cowboy hero.

Once again, it is the highlight of individual heroism and social civilization and order.

Finally, there is the social contradiction between democracy, freedom and violence.

These points.

"Jaws" is enough.

therefore.

Lu Chen had no reason not to let it land in Ugly Country.

and.

Lu Chen is very confident about the box office of "Jaws" in Ugly Country.

The audience in Ugly Country didn't disappoint Lu Chen either.

the next day.

Lu Chen who turned on the data network.

Just saw the box office of "Jaws" in Ugly Country.

The first day of landing in Ugly Country.

"Jaws" won a box office of 3000 million dollars.

Whether it is placed before.

Or put it now.

The box office is quite high.

3000 million ugly dollars is directly equivalent to 2 million Chinese coins.

Thinking about the cost of this movie!

Lu Chen was slightly surprised in his heart.

Remember this is only the first day.

The mass publicity is not in place yet, including their own publicity.

Wait until these factors erupt.

Isn't that...

Lu Chen didn't dare to think about it!

I really have to figure it out like this.

Wouldn't it be able to match some top big productions?

Although it is a bit difficult to compare a big production like "Fast and Furious 3",
But it's okay to compete with big productions like "Skull Island" and "Jaws".

Wait until the next day's box office comes out.

The industry is directly confused!

Is it so fierce?
To put it bluntly, this statistic of my own can already hold the hammer of many big Hollywood productions.

"Jaws" grossed 4500 million on its second day in Hollywood.

The unit is ugly yuan.

Another 3 million Chinese coins.

Compared with domestic box office data, it has directly doubled.

The domestic box office is only about 1.5 million.

no doubt.

"Jaws" conquered audiences in Ugly Country.

"Seeing the box office, I kind of want to see this movie." Liu Shishi, who was raising her baby, also said curiously.

"It's not that I'm afraid of having a baby, the main reason is that I think this movie is not suitable for you to watch."

"why?"

"Many people have already been psychologically shadowed online."

"Forget it then." Liu Shishi shook her head, before, she would definitely walk into the movie theater without hesitation.

Now words.

She's gone worrying,
I'm really scared, what should these two little guys do?
"Then let's save it for now. When I have time, I must watch it all at once." Liu Shishi said with a big loss expression.

"it is good."

"By the way, the next one should be "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Longling Misty Cave"."

Lu Chen nodded, sighing in his heart.

Compared to "Jaws".

"Ghost Blowing Lantern: Longling Misty Cave" is somewhat limited by its subject matter.

"Jaws" can go abroad.

"Longling Miku" is basically impossible.

Foreigners can't understand Captain Mo Jin at all.

Can't speak our words.

Then the impact of "Longling Miku" will definitely be much smaller.

Lu Chen wasn't worried about the box office of "Longling Miku",

Instead, he was worried about the gap in Zhong Lei's heart.

A famous Hollywood.

One can only struggle at home.

The gap is really not that big.
