Best of Hollywood

On the morning of July 14, more than 3,300 movie theaters in North America ushered in a large number of audiences.

One of them is a movie theater in Los Angeles County.

Charlene and Leslie walked into the movie theater as usual, lined up to buy two tickets for "X-Men", and took popcorn and soft drinks to the screening hall to sit down.

Not long after, people came in one after another. Charlene and Leslie were chatting, eating popcorn and waiting for the movie to be shown.

Soon, Charlene noticed a strange phenomenon, "Leslie, don't you think it's a little strange?"

"What's wrong?" Leslie glanced around without any questions.

Charlene pointed to the people who came in from the entrance of the theater and said, "It feels like many of them are office workers."

"Generally, the vast majority of summer film premieres should be student groups."

Leslie continued to eat popcorn, pouted and said, "It's really strange."

"However, what does this have to do with us!"

Charlene shrugged his shoulders and said, "I just think it's a little strange."

"Okay, be quiet, the film will start showing soon." Leslie saw that the lights on the ceiling went out and the screen began to light up, and immediately focused on the screen, "This is Ryan Goss In a film directed by Lin, I don't want to miss a single shot."

Charlene nodded, but he still felt a little puzzled, today's screening room felt a little weird.

However, he agrees with one thing very much, a film directed by Ryan Gosling must not miss any shots.

Just before turning off the lights, he deliberately counted, and there were only a few vacant seats in the auditorium.

In other words, there are hundreds of spectators in the screening hall in front of you alone.

Suffice it to say, this is an exciting film.

On the screen, the titles of Orion Films and Marvel Films flashed, and the film officially began to be screened.

The auditorium suddenly fell silent.

Ryan looked at the screen quietly, with a somewhat nervous expression.

Whether the release of "X-Men" is successful or not is related to the next series of film shooting plans.

Even without the impact on the superhero movie program, there are as many as 12 films in the "X-Men" series alone.

It can be said that the "X-Men" on the screen in front of us is related to the future development of Orion Pictures.

However, Ryan's worries are unnecessary.

From the first appearance of Magneto to the escape journey of Wolverine and Rascal, the whole film has constant climaxes and a very tight plot.

Even, many viewers couldn't help exclaiming in a low voice.

"Oh my God, who's the actress playing Phoenix? She's so sexy."

"Who can tell me, who is the actor playing the little rascal!"

"Wow, Wolverine is in great shape."

"And his acting skills are also very good."

Although there are some voices in the middle, they think that the adaptation of the film is too large. As the vice-captain of the X-Men, Storm is more like a supporting role.

But the vast majority of the audience praised the voices and affirmed the characters in the film.

"A wonderful commercial film."

Looking at the screen, which is completely different from the previous superhero films produced by Warner Bros. and DC Comics, Greg Silverman's expression became very serious.

"Gorgeous character modeling, fierce fighting movements, dazzling special effects shots..."

Greg-Silverman took a deep breath, "We're afraid we're about to run into a problem."

Compared with the "X-Men" shown on the screen, the "Batman" series of films that Warner Bros. and DC Comics are famous for are more like an action movie than a superhero movie.

There are very few special effects shots throughout the film.

"X-Men" is completely different, each character has its own special ability, and the fighting scenes are very spectacular.

If you have to compare, I am afraid that only the "Superman" series can achieve this effect.

However, since the release of "Superman 4" in 1987, the entire series of films have been driven into the abyss.

"do not worry."

Kevin Tsujihara shook his head and said: "The character style of Marvel Comics is different from that of DC Comics, and we can shoot according to the previous style."

Batman is just an ordinary person, so naturally it is impossible to have any dazzling special effects.

It's more about shaping the plot.

On this point, it can go beyond "X-Men".

"X-Men" is only a commercial film. Compared with character modeling, fighting scenes, and special effects, the plot of the whole film is very simple,

First of all, a group of people born with magical abilities due to genetic mutations, under the leadership of "Professor X" who also has superhuman abilities, set up an X-Men team to jointly maintain peace on the earth. Fight against a world that fears and rejects them.

Then, Wolverine, a new member of the X-Men, with indestructible superalloy steel claws on his wrists, is a grumpy, almost uncontrollable mutant. His arrival makes the X-Men internally dangerous.

Secondly, the positive and negative forces collided.

Once a colleague and friend of "Professor X", "Magneto" is one of the most powerful mutants in the world.

After being hurt by the injustice of human beings, he gradually turned his back on society. He believes that it is impossible for human beings to coexist peacefully with genetic mutants, and the latter should be the real masters of the world.

He united with the evil minions, decided to do whatever it takes to achieve their goal of ruling the world, and the X-Men are about to face a formidable opponent.

In less than an hour and a half, the film came to the end, Magneto lost his ability and was imprisoned in prison. Wolverine searched for his past based on memory fragments.

In this way, it seems that the entire film has been completely declared over.

But anyone who knows Orion Films knows that this is by no means the end, but just the beginning.

"This is the end!" James-Franco looked at the subtitles on the screen, and felt that many plots in the film seemed to be introduced in insufficient detail, giving people a vague feeling.

"Of course it's not over." Natalie Portman hugged her shoulders, shook her head slightly and said, "According to the shooting plan formulated by Orion Films, there are at least two sequel films to be shot."

"Like 'Spider-Man,' each film is a separate story, yet connected."

Not far away, there was a look of disappointment on Roger Albert's face. Except for the beginning part, the whole movie was pretty good.

The rest is completely a typical commercial film, far from being comparable to "Inception" and "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring".

He was a little puzzled, Ryan Gosling had a better choice, such as "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring".

But he himself directed a commercial film with no connotation, not "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring".

With Ryan Gosling's directing level, "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" can be made better.

"Is this what Ryan Gosling made for $100 million?"

Mel Gibson said rather disdainfully: "Chasing, beauties, rescue... are all plots left over from Hollywood directors, and there is nothing new."

"To put it bluntly, this is an assembly line film without any characteristics."

Such a film must be mindless if the audience wants to watch it.

Compared with the previous "Inception", it can be said that it is far from the standard.

"Mel."

Roland Emmerich on the side pointed to the boiling auditorium and said, "This film is not for professionals, but for ordinary audiences and a large number of Marvel readers and fans."

As long as it is recognized by Marvel readers and fan groups.

Then the film is already a success.

Mel Gibson heard warm applause and cheers, and couldn't help showing a bit of disdain, "Who knows if it's the atmosphere that Orion Pictures paid to find someone to create."

At the premiere of almost every commercial film, the film production company and the crew will spend money to hire temporary audiences to enhance the atmosphere of the scene.

This has become a Hollywood practice.

Roland Emmerich frowned slightly, then got up and walked towards the "X-Men" crew, obviously not wanting to continue the discussion with Mel Gibson.

With the end of the film screening, Ryan, who came to congratulate him, was a little overwhelmed, and his face stiffened from laughing.

At the subsequent press conference, he officially announced the next two "X-Men" filming plans, and then Ryan took the initiative to give the opportunity to answer questions from the media to the cast and crew.

At the end of the press conference, Ryan did not choose to leave from the side door, but went out from the underground parking lot. He didn't want to be surrounded by a large number of reporters.

"You need to be mentally prepared."

Helen looked at a group of reporters outside the car window and said: "The media will definitely compare "X-Men" with "Inception" and "Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring."

From a professional point of view, as a commercial popcorn movie, "X-Men" is much worse than "Inception" and "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring".

Ryan stretched his waist indifferently, and said, "Comments from the media and film critics won't affect me."

"What's more, as long as the box office of "X-Men" meets expectations, it is the best counterattack."

In addition to being a director, he is also the owner of a film company. The first thing he needs to consider is commercial interests, not the voice of the media and film critics in the film.

Besides, in the eyes of any Hollywood film company, the focus has always been on the box office, and there is no more practical proof than the box office.

Helen turned around and took a look at Ryan. Sure enough, she was still the same as before, only caring about the box office, not the voice of the media and film critics.

Even, including the Oscar statuette.
