Chatty Hollywood

For any film adaptation, how to be faithful to the original work is an insurmountable threshold.

If it deviates too far from the original work, it will inevitably be boycotted by fans of the original work. At that time, box office revenue will definitely be affected.

You know, fans of the original work are the base for the adapted movie.

The reason why most producers of film adaptations are willing to spend money to purchase the copyrights of some well-known works for adaptation is to build a basic audience in advance.

This will make the post-production promotion of the film very easy.

Therefore, it is very unfeasible to over-adapt and offend most fans of the original work.

But on the other hand, the adaptation cannot be 100% consistent with the original work.

This is really not possible.

After all, the media of adapted movies and original works may be different. Whether it is comics or even TV series, they have a longer time and length to tell the story than movies.

After it is adapted into a movie, the storyline must be streamlined, otherwise it will be like Griffith's "Party vs. Different", where the audience has to bring quilts and pillows to watch the movie.

In that case, no matter how good the movie is, there is no peeing at all throughout the whole process. As time goes by, the audience's endurance will not be able to overcome the bladder capacity.

What's more, the general practice is that the ticket price of a movie will not increase proportionally with the length of the movie. The ticket price of a 120-minute movie cannot be 1/3 more than the ticket price of a 90-minute movie.

The ticket price of many 120-minute movies is basically the same as that of a 90-minute movie.

Under such circumstances, how could the profit-seeking film studios and theater chains allow directors to make the movie too long in order to fit in with the original work?

Moreover, there are also problems with the movie being too close to the original work.

Those fans of the original will lose the novelty.

Some fantasy stories are okay. The audience understands the plot in advance and can watch the special effects and various fantasy scenes.

After all, although the human brain can rely on imagination, it is still impossible to achieve the grand effects in big-budget movies.

But some movies with plot as their main selling point are more troublesome.

Reading a story you already know again, but you can't chew the words carefully like reading a book, naturally it feels very ordinary.

Therefore, the plot of the adapted movie needs to be somewhat different from the original work.

And the degree of control in this is a matter that tests the skills of the director and producer.

However, for Charlotte, this matter is relatively simple.

Because he can refer to "Hell Detective" in the original world.

In addition to the problems of the movie itself such as the plot being too obscure and the rhythm of the story not being well grasped, that version of "Hell Detective" was most criticized by fans of the original "Constantine". In fact, Keanu Reeves' Kang Standing is too far removed from the original image.

Although even those die-hard fans of the original work admit that the original Keanu Reeves version of Constantine is actually very handsome and cool, but after all, it is too different from the original image.

This makes fans of the original comics less supportive of that version of "Hell Detective".

This is also an important reason why the version of "Hell Detective" in Charlotte's original world did not perform well at the box office.

The basic disk is lost!

Therefore, when filming "Hell Detective" in this world, Charlotte made magical changes to many places.

One of the most important points is the issue of Constantine’s character design.

This is not just a simple modification of Keanu Reeves' appearance to let him grow a stubble.

More importantly, many of the movie's plot designs focus on Constantine's complex and unscrupulous character.

To this end, he also asked the author of the original story of the comic to also participate in the screenwriting. Even Neil Gaiman, who had previously helped him make connections, also came up with many ideas.

Therefore, his version of "Hell Detective", although the main plot is not much different from the version in his original world,

But in terms of character lines and many details, they are completely different.

It can be said that the characters in this version are more three-dimensional and the lines contain more meanings, but from the surface, they are very easy to understand.

At least the audience can easily understand the superficial meaning even if they have not read the original comic.

And this is enough for the audience to understand the overall storyline.

As for the deeper part, Charlotte's purpose is

Welcome second brush!

The plot of Constantine persuading Angela not to awaken his yin and yang eye abilities is a typical example.

Fans of the original comics can understand the meaning and will only think that this is very Constantine.

Sensitive viewers can see Constantine's hesitation and deliberateness in it, and are aware of the complexity of the hell detective's character, thus igniting their interest in studying it carefully again and again.

Generally speaking, the audience who comes to watch a movie just to enjoy it, and the superficial meaning of the movie is enough to satisfy them.

As for the problem that they didn't understand the deeper meaning and therefore contributed less than a second movie ticket, Charlotte wasn't worried at all.

This world is full of all kinds of film critics who like to interpret movies randomly!

Many times, directors can interpret eighteen meanings from a very ordinary shot. Not to mention the deeper meaning that Charlotte already has now.

If that doesn't work, Charlotte can also prepare an official version of the interpretation guide and ask the shooter to release it!

As long as the movie's initial box office meets expectations, a second ticket purchase will definitely be indispensable.

*******

Of course, the second brush is still a matter of the second brush.

At the premiere of the movie, the story continues

In order to help Angela awaken the Yin and Yang eyes that had been closed by her subconsciously, Constantine prepared a bathtub filled with water.

Just like he went to hell to find Isabel's soul through water before, water is the passage between the yin and yang worlds, and if Angela wants to awaken her yin and yang eyes and see the hidden clues, she must immerse her whole body in the water .

This is why Constantine filled a tub full of water.

Then

"Should I take my clothes off or keep them on?"

Angela asked a somewhat embarrassing, but very realistic question.

"Well, I was thinking..."

The originally serious atmosphere became lighter because of Constantine's evil smile.

In the screening room, many male viewers swallowed their saliva because of this clip.

Although in Hollywood, Jodie Foster has never shown herself to be sexy and with a good figure.

However, she is still a blonde beauty after all.

In this scene in the movie, the coexistence of weakness and strength in her character Angela is so vividly displayed that people can't help but want to delve deeper into it.

Andrews Parker, who was originally here to keep an eye on his girlfriend Diana, was filled with anticipation.

Of course, as a senior movie fan, Andrew also knows that the probability of Jodie Foster taking off her underwear next is actually very low.

After all, "Hell Detective" is a serious commercial production, and it has not been rated R, so it is unlikely that there will be such obvious scenes.

"If only this were one of those so-called art films!"

Andrew muttered under his breath.

Art films have always been famous for their boldness.

As a high school teacher, Andrew, who tends to be conservative, has always scorned this so-called art.

Sometimes he even feels that these "art" movies are not as good as the specialties of the San Fernando Valley. At least they can teach teenagers "techniques".

Although, as a teacher who is a role model, he cannot say this to the students in person.

In short, as a senior movie fan who prefers commercial movies such as science fiction movies, Andrew does not like those art movies that are pointless.

However, at this moment, he was tempted by the image of Angela played by Jodie Foster, but he was a little shaken.

Of course, in the end, just as Andrew guessed, after seemingly thinking for a while, Constantine on the big screen still did not ask Angela to take off her clothes.

At this moment, Andrew even felt that he heard a lot of disappointed sighs.

There must be many male viewers who are disappointed, right?

Richard Manson was amused in his heart,

When was the last time Jodie Foster showed such seductive charm in a movie? "taxi driver"! ?

As a senior film critic, Richard was also pleasantly surprised by Jodie Foster's performance this time.

Although the role of Angela is still the image category that she is best at in the past, she did not expect that after Charlotte Booth's discovery, there would be such an unexpected discovery...

Richard Manson is becoming more and more optimistic about the movie "Hell Detective".
