Chapter seven hundred and twentieth eighth, the over-acclaimed work under the word-of-mouth carnival

"I don't understand why many people worship Steven Spielberg, and even use words like great to describe this mediocre director. "Schindler's List" is obviously a typical overrated model. It was filmed entirely for the sake of winning the award. Making articles on subject matter is a major reason for the film to win the award. Later, Spielberg was very happy and filmed various political themes to confuse the academic judges. For example, "Munich" and other mediocre works..."

"The End of Happiness and Adventures of Tintin both prove that others are old and ugly, or that he has been beaten back to his original form. Adventures of Tintin is his true level. I have always wondered why he can be compared with Kubrick. As you can see from "Adventures of Tintin", Spielberg just touched the master's fur..."

This is certainly not what Duke said to reporters, but a comment he saw on the Internet that he slammed Spielberg.

In the hearts of a small group of people, Spielberg is definitely not as good as Stanley Kubrick, but in the eyes of most audiences and even academics, Kubrick is simply unable to compare with Spielberg.

This is especially true for the Hollywood film industry.

When people at Duke, James Cameron and Spielberg will not criticize others at will, especially Duke and Spielberg, who represent far more complicated than James Cameron. If the two want to confront each other, they will not speak out.

In fact, the mouth cannon is of no use either.

None of the people who have reached this point are idiots. Even if they are not smart enough, they will be polished into human spirits on the long journey.

Faced with the reporter's question about Spielberg, Duke is of course full of praise.

"Steven is a real genius and master. He created and built the Hollywood summer "Jaws" and established the new science fiction style "ET Alien", which is enough to prove his greatness and his importance to the development of the Hollywood film industry as a whole!"

Although these words may not be sincere, they are not all nonsense. When it comes to the importance of the entire Hollywood film industry, Spielberg was completely defeated by Kubrick. Just like "Titanic", few people in the Hollywood circle will slander Spielberg's "Jaws" because they bring new pioneering development to Hollywood.

"Titanic" opened up the world's market for Hollywood and completely promoted the globalization of Hollywood movies; "Jaws" created Hollywood's summer mode, which laid the foundation for the popularity of Hollywood movies all over the world.

Film critics can look down on these two films and sarcastically sarcasticly at them, but the relevant practitioners will not.

Duke is also one of these people.

With the arrival of Phoenix, various publicity of "Rampant Road" was also bombarded intensively across the United States and even the world. Not only online public opinion, but related commentary reports also occupied the popular time periods of many TV channels.

The nbc TV station's weekend evening "Watching Movies" program focused on this film, believing that all audio-visual language skills in the production of the film, axis, direction of travel, dynamic editing, rhythm changes, scene design, camera position direction, etc., are not found in "Raging Road". There are so many cars, so many people, and so fierce car chases will not be able to see clearly or understand them; they are all done in one go.

The famous morning program "Good Morning America" ​​interviewed some ordinary movie fans and asked these people to talk about the advantages of this film from a non-professional perspective.

"There is no bloody bed scene before the war, and there is even no love."

One after another, fans appeared in the camera and told me the reason why they like "The Road of Furious".

"The protagonist forced his mouth and sensationalism before the war."

"There is no pig teammate increasing the difficulty to highlight the protagonist's despair."

"Not unscientific, I can't die no matter how you are. I'm like a wandering in the rain of bullets."

"There is no exaggerated anti-physics action scene, it's really enough to drive and hit an airplane!"

"There is no scene of deliberately showing off or showing off."

"There is no memorial or even a single nonsense. Women will not forcefully drag their legs and go dazed or scream when encountering emergencies. Everyone is doing their best to survive..."

"Something is just simple to do it! Do it! Do it! It feels good from beginning to end!"

"The Road of Furious" is ultimately inseparable from one category. After all, the audience is limited. If you don't like this style, you won't force yourself to like it. But the promotion of the movie is to attract the interests of potential audiences and pull as much as possible to unpack the movie.

The online propaganda is more diverse, and after years of development, Duke's navy can also use some ulterior motives.

For example, the jokes they created about "The Road of Furious" were reposted crazily on instant sharing.

"After watching "The Road of Furious", several directors, including Michael Bay, Robert Zemekis, Zach Schneider, who always thought they were the visual stream, went back and tore the storyboard of the next new film to pieces, and then added chicken legs to start over... Only James Cameron and other palace masters silently recited in their hearts, "Respond to changes with the same change"..."

"After watching the preview of "Raging Road", Alejandra Ambroxiu received a call from Michael Bell, whom he worked with in "Escape from the Clones": How is the movie?...I heard that you have filmed a lot of car chase scenes, does it look like my style? The supermodel angel with tears on his face held his throat and said: The user you called is not in the service area..."

These are all for appealing interests.

In order to promote and create momentum, many things in the film are actually distorted, which is also a common method in Hollywood. For example, Duke registered this script as early as 2004, and the remarks of the film that have been sharpening a sword for five years are very common.

Moreover, in order to distinguish it from the action films that are now crazy about using CG, "Rampage Road" continues to use real-life shooting as a gimmick in its promotion.

In fact, Duke never rejects CG technology, and the former director is no exception. Like George Miller, Duke used nearly two thousand CG synthetic shots in the film "The Road of Furious".

But just like what Warner Bros once promoted, this is a live-action film, and this gimmick has also attracted a lot of viewers.

In the promotion of the film, some fakes are extremely true, which is a method that the film industry around the world is using.

The entire crew of "Raging Road" has long had a tacit understanding of this.

When Duke was interviewed, when asked about Charlize Theron's style, he never mentioned that this was his own idea, but summarized it into Charlize, who is more likely to attract attention.

"I remember when Sally got the script and repeatedly pondered the role. She always felt something was wrong. Finally, she suddenly realized and told me to come out short and to strip away the gender of her appearance. Of course, I agree, which is why the epic level Ferosa we see today!"

When saying these words, Duke doesn't have to draft at all. "Charlize Theron brings a fierce heroic wind to this summer. When her bright eyes shining with light look directly at you through the camera, you will not be attracted. What is more charming than this appearance is the power of wisdom, courage and love that she exudes through the characters in the film!"

It's a character that is likely to make a difference in awards season, and Duke doesn't mind touting Charlize Theron for a few words.

Some people praise a video, and some people criticize it.

The Washington Post, which has always been very unfavorable to Duke, published a related commentary report prominently in Sunday's special issue.

"An out-of-reputation work under the reputation carnival of "Rampant Road"!"

This comment uses the method of suppressing and first raising, and first praises the action scene design of the film. It believes that all action scenes are always moving to enhance the tension when watching, but the rest of the techniques of the film are not advisable.

"Showing a large number of deformed people and disfigured faces is a common method for many similar B-level films. We also see these contents in this film, such as the little dwarf in charge of looking and the group portrait of the villain soldier who is all white. "Rampage Road" is at best a B-level film with huge investment!"

The Washington Post also refuted the view that "Rampage Road" which many media have crazy praises is a milestone work in action movies.

"Besides the fun, it's still awesome. "The Road of Furious" actually doesn't make much progress in the reform of the action film system. The overly bright tones and the use of a large number of downgraded photography are all aimed at weakening the seriousness of the movie. Especially when the fast-forward picture continues to sweep the audience's attention, it is like telling you: this movie is a pure B-level film. Don't think too much, just sit there and have fun!"

However, this report was simply unable to stop the reputation of "Raging Road" from spreading in a crazy way. After more than two days of release, ImDB's rating was as high as 9.8 points, surpassing "Dark Knight" in one fell swoop, and temporarily ranked first.

Although this position is not long, it is enough to prove that a large number of people like this video.

According to cinemasore statistics, the positive review rate of theater audiences is as high as 92%, and the average score of the audience is ‘a+’. 55 media reporters from Metac Daily scored a super high score of 97.

These are all guarantees that the film can sell well. Even if it is an R-level film, after a series of fanatical promotion, "The Road of Furious" still achieved an impressive record of US$26.37 million in North America screening the next day.

Compared with the rise of "The Furious Road", "The Adventures of Tintin" released at the same time declined due to the poor audience's reputation, and only received $3.89 million a day on Saturday.

"Rampant Road" market response is enthusiastic, but the media and movie fans frequently compare it with other automotive movies, which also triggers the sensitive nerves of some people. (To be continued.)
