671 - With great power comes great responsibility?(1/2)
The applause in the entire screening room disappeared, and after the ending scroll on the big screen ended, a brief darkness flashed and immediately lit up again. Everyone's eyes were firmly attracted to it.
Many people noticed it at a glance. The shot that lights up again has been switched to the perspective of the metropolis. It is also on the roof of the tall building, and the tall and strong body hidden in the shadows. The director seems to be cheering everyone's appetite. The shot in the dark night has no intention of letting this figure come out at all.
"That kid solved everything."
Suddenly, a female voice sounded from the quiet darkness, and the camera followed the tall perspective in the shadows. A figure in a large gray cloak stood at the edge of the roof of the building at some point and looked down slightly.
Seeing the tall figure in the shadow remained silent without any indication, the female voice came out of the cloak again. "In that city, trouble is not just a little man playing with the hurricane, the trouble that the child has to solve, it is just the beginning."
The man in the shadow finally spoke, turned his body slightly, and looked at the woman in the cloak. "It was Lightning who chose him!"
The meaning of this sentence is very obvious. Since it was Lightning who chose him, he must grow up in the test.
“I Know, what is important is never whether it is worth it or not, but what he believes.”
The woman in the cloak shrugged slightly. While speaking, she showed her long hair covered by the cloak in front of the audience for the first time, and she could still see her beautifully curved chin and sexy lips.
After saying that, the woman in a cloak, without any trace of cover, turned around and was about to jump down the building. It was obvious that the brief exchange between the two sides was about to end.
From this brief conversation alone, there was enough information revealed. Barry Allen came to the Metropolis and did not gain anything. It was just that Barry Allen himself did not know that someone had been watching him in secret. This figure in a cloak was undoubtedly the insurance he could not handle the enemy.
At this time, the woman in the cloak was telling the figure in the shadow that she did not use her own insurance. The child who had just obtained lightning recognition had done everything alone and understood his mission.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!
This has always been a superhero. Wayne is naturally not ready to change the mainstream idea that can gain recognition from the public. In this era, the greater the ability and the greater the responsibility, the more it is the winning weapon that is most recognized by the audience.
"Dianna, did that kid see you?"
Just as the woman was about to leave, the tall figure in the shadow finally moved forward two steps, but the camera did not follow the figure. It was precisely these two steps that exposed the tall man's back to the audience for the first time, and there was a dark red cloak behind the man!
"Maybe I saw it, maybe I didn't."
When the woman heard the question coming from behind, she paused suddenly, then made a joke sound from her, and then jumped down into the dim night.
The camera returned to the perspective of the tall figure in time, and followed the woman who jumped down tightly. At the same time, a background music with a very strong electronic sound slowly sounded from weak to strong. As the woman flew farther and farther away, the electronic music also reached the high nest in just a few seconds.
This short easter egg shot, coupled with the background music of the movie that is extremely exciting, instantly made the audience at the screening feel what emotions are like, especially the woman flying farther and farther away, as dazzling as a layer of scarlet stars in the night sky.
"Diana, Diana Prince!"
“oh my god, Wonder Woman!”
The audience's excited screams did not interrupt everyone's nature. Compared with the previous DC series of movies, the movie gave them too many surprises, which made them dazzled.
Especially as the camera gets further and further away, his strong body still standing on the roof of the building, although he only saw a dark red cloak drifting with the breeze, he undoubtedly doesn't need to repeat his identity, that is Superman Clark Kent.
"Maybe... have seen it..."
Accompanied by the low voice of doubt, the big screen suddenly darkened again, and the audience did not breathe, and it became bright again.
This time it was Barry Allen who took his girlfriend into a museum full of people. Barry Allen, who had obviously adapted to everything, was in a very good spirit.
The two followed the crowd and came to an ancient picture together. The combination of handsome men and beautiful women was very eye-catching. Seeing Barry Allen and his dated girlfriend stood in front of the ancient picture and whispered with interest, a museum staff member came over and enthusiastically introduced the information about the ancient paintings to them.
At this moment, the background music of the movie with a very strong rhythm slowly rang from weak to strong again, and the camera was slowly turning, giving the museum staff the front face of the explanation.
"Wonder Woman!"
"Diana!"
This time, without any prompts, a burst of warm screams broke out in the screening hall. Yes, the chin and lips of the museum staff were the woman on the roof of the metropolitan building just now, especially the background soundtrack that made everyone burn, seemed to appear only with Wonder Woman.
"Card......"
With a slight sound of an old projector, the lights on the ceiling of the projection hall light up together, and the big screen returned to darkness. Only here did the movie officially end the screening.
"Wayne, Wayne."
"Wayne, beautifully done!"
"I dare swear, this is the most beautiful Wonder Woman I've ever seen!"
The applause, screams, and the excitement of the movie fans were almost overturned, especially when Wayne led the crew's main creators to the big screen and began to leave the audience, the screening room turned into a lively concert scene.
Facing the movie fans standing there and clattering their hands crazyly, Wayne was not embarrassed. Anyway, he only knew in the theater that he once again shamelessly plagiarized a short paragraph of "is she with you".
There is no way, this background music that is simple and distinctive, but once it appears, it will explode. As long as he thinks of the term Wonder Woman in his mind, it will naturally pop up.
The only thing that made him a pity was the image of the Wonder Woman he loved the most in his mind. He is still an Israeli girl. Although that image was criticized at the beginning, countless movie fans complained that her breasts were too small, but who among these movie fans did not drool when facing those long legs?
Coupled with the face that can satisfy the aesthetics of the East and the West, it is not an exaggeration to say that the most successful Wonder Woman in history is the most successful one. It’s a pity that time does not allow Wayne to wait.
Seeing the applause that had lasted for ten minutes, even though Wayne led the crew to end the curtain call several times, he could not calm down the audience's excitement. Looking at these audiences, he now affirmed at least one thing, that is, the slightest worry in his heart was slowly let go.
"Congratulations, Wayne, congratulations in advance on your box office success!"
"Thanks."
"This is simply a masterpiece, directed by Greenberg..."
"Thanks."
"Director Greenberg, you let people see how commercial films should be shot, great movies..."
"Thanks."
Under the big screen, countless guests and celebrities who came to the platform were lined up to shake hands with Wayne and wish him blessings. David Denby, who sat in place after the movie ended, saw it all.
As a well-known film critic of "The New Yorker", he had a strong impression of Wayne's films and even his own feelings for Wayne himself. However, this time, Warner Bros. chose not to invite critics to participate in the early trial, which made him feel angry.
There is no doubt that he, a well-known film critic in all North America, has not been "guided" by Warner Bros. This time.
What does this mean? If the box office of "The Flash" has risen all the way after its large-scale release, and even hits a lot, it will make all Hollywood film companies realize that even if there is no film critic promoting it in newspaper columns, it will not affect the revenue of the new work being listed.
Undoubtedly, Warner Bros.'s choice this time was to dig up the foundation of the film critic's income. Not only David Dembie thought of this, but many well-known film critics also thought of this. However, most people are waiting for the opportunity to make "The Flash" go to Waterloo.
Now all film critics know that "The Flash" must not succeed without any obstacles. Otherwise, this time it will be Warner Bros., and there may be more film companies next time, choosing to save the cost of this public relations critic, which is related to the revenue trend of the entire industry.
However, David Dembie did not wait passively and got the premiere ticket for "The Flash" early. After coming to Los Angeles, he also contacted a local well-known film critic as soon as possible. In his opinion, this is a major event that concerns everyone's future life and death, and all elites in the industry should unite together.
But something that made him feel disappointed. After a brief investigation, he found that both Todd McKinsey of the Hollywood Reporter and Kenneth Tulane of the Los Angeles Times, and the latest generation of well-known film critics in North America, all seemed to have received the tacit understanding of Warner Bros. and had no intention of joining them.
The specific reason is nothing more than money or other interests, and there will be no deviation in this. David Dembey dared to swear that if the benefits behind it were not given enough, several well-known local film critics in Los Angeles would never refuse to communicate with him.
However, the younger generation of film critics are only a few of them. As soon as the premiere of "The Flash" started, he had already sat in the screening hall and waited. No matter what he wanted to do, he had to know the film, right?
Although David Denby sat among the fan group, he still took out a record book and pencil before the movie started and placed it on his legs in order to record his views and feelings about the movie in time, whether it is good or bad.
But after only the first fifteen minutes of the movie, as a confident and cultivating film critic, he almost couldn't help but run to the first row of the screening room and spit a thick phlegm on Wayne's tough face! Is this a Greenber-style movie? It's simply a collection of vulgar elements during the summer season!
David Denby is extremely sure that this is the most common template commercial film in Hollywood for decades! There are no thoughts on the bottom of society, portrayals of vulnerable groups, discussions on legal issues, humanistic care, dark art, etc.
But the movie fans around him were relished and the special effects scenes were designed from time to time, which made them extremely excited. It seemed like a simple and dysfunctional story, coupled with the top audio and video experience of this era, made the movie have huge magic power, and used magic to firmly attract the attention of all viewers!
Discovering this, David Dembie could only close the discipline book and sighed silently. Although this film played commercial elements to the extreme, it still could not change the fact that this was a template movie. Such a film had no meaning to make him record his feelings.
But at the same time, he had to sigh that Wayne Greenberg was able to continue to gain success and reached the peak of power in Hollywood in just a few years, surpassing 99% of his peers. It is absolutely not unreasonable.
Regardless of whether you are willing to degenerate yourself or not, this is a director who can make the film artistically exploratory and always know how to please the audience. If you put aside your preconceived ideas and only watch "The Flash", no one can deny that this is a top commercial film that plays commercial elements into flowers.
Director Hollywood is shooting a movie, and his goal is never to hide in the studio and be intoxicated by himself. If you want to show your talents and ideas, you still have to face a larger audience.
In fact, David Dembi has always understood this truth. It is just that as a film critic, he keeps his awareness of automatically ignoring it. If a well-known film critic who represents "high-end artistic aesthetics" has the same aesthetic as that of the general public, how can he reflect his uniqueness in artistic vision?
Especially in his heart, he always regarded Wayne as the director who was best at combining art and business. But this director suddenly abandoned the gift given by God and gambled on pure business. What was that not self-destruction? He could do better, but he chose a vulgar path.
As the film progressed and finally ended, David Dembie confirmed this very much. Wayne Greenberg's "The Flash" has no labels of violence, blood, crime, absurdity, and multiple clues. It is purely an "advertising film" to catch the eye!
That's right, it's the commercial film. The large special effects display every few minutes of the entire film, and the large and large nest scenes every few minutes are like a designed commercial. Especially with the extremely fast editing method, it seems that a random part of the film is so gorgeous and brilliant, which is very similar to the shooting method of the commercial.
David Denby took a deep look at it at the end. Wayne, who was surrounded by countless celebrities and praised it, opened his notebook and wrote several words "vulgar advertising films" on it. He raised his hand and pressed the hat on his head, turned around and walked out of the theater in a low-key manner.
The premiere of "The Flash" ended, and the premiere of "Godzilla" not far away also ended. At the same time, the early stages screened in major commercial theaters across North America also ended.
The main creators of the crew led by Wayne are still being interviewed by hundreds of media reporters. The atmosphere on the scene was very hot, especially James Franko. He tried the first time he was chased by dozens of reporters. If there was no accident, his name would follow the video and become popular all over the world in a few weeks.
The press conference is still being held, and various video-related press releases are also brewing. Compared with the response speed of traditional paper media, fans who have just watched the movie have another information platform that spreads faster, the Internet.
As one of the most senior members of Wayne's fan organization, African-American young man Schroeder still maintains his movie-watching habit over the years, that is, as long as Wayne's new film is released, he will immediately go to the theater to watch it immediately. Even if there is a group movie-watching activity organized by the fans the next day, he has never interrupted this habit.
After walking out of the theater and returning to the apartment, the first thing he did was to turn on the computer and log in to the IMDB movie data database. When he saw that 1,525 people appeared on the "Flash" section in a short time, and when he scored 8.8, he couldn't help but smile and cracked his mouth, revealing a mouthful of white white teeth.
He was originally worried that this "Flash" would disappoint hardcore fans because of Wayne's bold transformation. Now it seems that everything is in vain. Most people are enjoying this top-notch audio and video feast like themselves.
"Wayne seemed to be telling the world that even if he abandoned the strong personal attributes that depend on for survival, he could still shoot a good movie that excited the fans. From the first second of "The Flash", I was deeply attracted by this "no brain-consuming" film. The picture was shocking enough, and the sound effect was enough to make people immersive, especially the obviously compact editing rhythm, which made it difficult for people to feel refreshed after watching the movie!"
"This time, Wayne Greenberg chose to stand on our side! Compared to all his previous works, I prefer this "The Flash" because it is very suitable for taking family and friends to watch. I have ordered six tickets for tomorrow night and are ready to take the family to enjoy this rare visual carnival!"
"Walking out of the theater and returning home, I was still in a state of excitement. I have to say that when Wayne Greenberg abandoned his own style, the result was that all the fans would follow the movies together. I have to say that I was conquered by the ultimate audio and video special effects!"
"The appearance of Wonder Woman Diana Prince gave everyone a huge surprise. By the way, Superman Clark Kent. In my opinion, this "Flash" not only made me see the picture of dreams on the big screen for the first time, but also clearly conveyed to me that part of the values of the DC world universe, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!"
Schroeder grinned, his fingers couldn't help but flip the web page downwards, carefully watching the opinions expressed by other movie fans. Almost all the movie fans who can leave messages at this point in time gave the film high scores. You should know that as a pure commercial film, 8.8 points are absolutely high scores on IMDB.
Although this score, as the number of fans increases and time gradually increases, is destined to slow down, now it seems that no one can deny that this is a good movie that has gained recognition from most people.
"Damn it, Wayne made me unable to sleep tonight. All the scenes I usually imagined were brought to the big screen. It was really unbelievable! I never thought that one day someone would shoot a movie that would give me the shocking feeling when I first watched "Star Wars" that year. Damn, I have decided to ask for leave tomorrow morning and go to the cinema to watch this video again, no, twice!"
"oh my god! I have never had a visual enjoyment before. Even if I only look at those unprecedented and exquisite special effects, it is worth the fare..."
"Wayne Greenberg has driven the dream machine like a movie to a full power. This time it allowed people to see another possibility on the big screen..."
"This is a movie where you can enjoy its wonderfulness only by going to the theater to watch. Believe me, watching videotapes at home is completely incomparable to such a top visual feast..."
To be continued...
