MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 251
Hurricane rescue, the investment is only tens of millions of dollars, the overall is not large.
After all, it is not a special effect blockbuster, and the whole is guided by martial arts.
It must be said that martial arts instruction is really a cheap and easy-to-use profession.
With them, it is possible to shoot such a special romantic man drama as Hurricane Rescue.
If martial arts is a romance for Chinese men only, then Kevin's film is currently all mature men.
Maturity here refers to a man who understands the love of a father.
When you understand the love of a father, you will have a corresponding fatherly love for your children.
The audience for this kind of movie is not low.
Down to eighteen years old, up to fifty-five males, are basically within the range of its killing age.
Having a sufficient audience, coupled with a unique action scene, and a sufficient core drive, these are the success factors of this film.
Of course, what's more important is Kevin's new editing for the film.
It can only be said that the core of the story has not changed. It is still the story of the old father who went crazy all over the world in order to save his daughter.
But the outer skin has changed a lot.
Kevin cut out the slow-paced stories to fill in for Nicole Kidman and Johnson.
Of course, the main one is Johnson.
Nicole Kidman's role is only used to express the play, not only to praise the father's love, but also to praise the mother's love.
In this era of boxing, if you are not careful, you can easily be beaten to death by random punches.
Kevin is still very careful in this regard.
To this end, he even hired some experts in this field to study the logic of this.
How to not offend those minorities.
This is one of a kind in Hollywood.
It's really on the cutting edge of the times.
Before everyone was beaten by a fist, Kevin had already started to defend.
Chapter 367 Unique Action Scene
Kevin believes that at that time, these advance preparations are bound to bring him many benefits.
Black Panther's global box office record of $1.3 billion shows how powerful these things are.
This is why the future capital will please them.
The first is that while they fail, they fail.
Once they are stared at by capital, it is enough.
On the other hand, they also have money on them, and they make good money.
In overseas markets, with the popularity of Marvel, the Black Panthers are all over the street, but in the United States, with its skin color advantage, it has just achieved a box office score of 500 million US dollars, which makes people see the power of this group. .
You know, generally speaking, this black group rarely sees movies on a large scale.
The main contributors to the movie box office in the United States have always been white Americans.
But this kind of film that caters to them has actually won 500 million box office results. I have to say that this group is still very powerful.
In this case, capital kept making concessions.
It has gradually expanded to all aspects of the United States. It has to be said that the American people are suffering from their various pressures and misery.
Kevin laid the foundation ahead of time to reduce future troubles.
At the beginning of the film, the rebelliousness of the daughter played by Anne Hathaway is vividly expressed.
Robinov couldn't help but sigh:
"My daughter is also so rebellious."
"But my love for her is no less than the protagonist of this movie."
Anne Hathaway, in Fast and Furious, is a good girl, princess-like, but rebellious.
In the hurricane rescue, it is the complete little sister.
It is only in the last scene that Kevin makes her return to the image of a good girl.
I have to say, this design is very clever.
It also contrasts with Fast and Furious.
In Fast and Furious, she is a good **** the outside and a rebellious woman on the inside.
In the hurricane rescue, she was a rebellious little woman on the outside, but she was actually very well-behaved on the inside. The reason why she rebelled in front of her parents was also her resistance to her father's previous neglect of her.
It was not until she was kidnapped that her rebelliousness was completely defeated, revealing the appearance of a good girl.
The plot of the movie quickly progressed to the first action scene.
Gang members, facing Jet Li alone, no, there is also a Johnson.
The two men came to question their human trafficking so aggressively. Each of these gangsters showed a smile that made the audience uncomfortable at first sight. It was the kind of typical villain who looked down on the protagonist's smile.
Immediately afterwards, Jet Li and Johnson began to work.
Jet Li, with his quick fists and feet, and under Yuan Heping's training, his moves are perfectly suited to the profession of a secret agent.
Move to kill, be quick and accurate.
Soon, a group of enemies were defeated.
This fierce and unique action scene successfully made the audience exclaim in surprise.
"They really know kung fu. Jack Cheng is like this, and so is this man."
"And Bruce Lee."
someone added.
At the beginning of Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan relayed, and when he arrived at Jet Li, he showed a fast, accurate and ruthless action scene.
This once again strengthens the external image of the Chinese, that is, the Chinese who seem to be weak, in fact, all of them are good at kung fu.
I have to say that this image has saved a lot of trouble for Chinese Americans for a long time.
The happiness education in the United States makes them have a very low recognition of external information, and they easily believe what others say.
The visual impact of the movie is strong, even more so.
Through the kung fu of these three people, it has left a stereotype of kung fu for the Chinese in the United States, which can be regarded as a lot of benefits.
"He is amazing, I really want to learn kung fu from him."
"yes."
In the common perception of Americans, the larger the body, the greater the strength.
In the past movies, the fight was very ugly.
It's the interaction between the big guys.
In the case of non-weapon combat, that is, empty-handed fighting, the scene is very anxious.
This is a consistent weakness of Hollywood.
Gunfights are good.
But to be honest, in the movie, how can the gun battle be so enjoyable.
This is a man's romance.
But Jet Li's debut performance completely subverted everyone's imagination.
For the specific picture, you can actually refer to the battle scene of Jet Li in the Cosmos Wanted Order.
Of course, Cosmic Wanted has supernatural elements, so it's even more exaggerated.
During the hurricane rescue, Kevin absolutely did not allow supernatural actions to occur.
Jet Li's every move can be used in reality.
Move towards the key points.
This is the essence of kung fu, the weak overcome the strong.
How to use the weak to overcome the strong is naturally to go towards the weak point.
No matter how powerful a man is, once he is hit, he is still a soft-footed shrimp.
In the movie, Jet Li's movements are one-by-one, and Kevin also added a freeze frame of less than one frame, so that the audience can see Jet Li's movements more clearly.
If you don't do it very well, although the audience will still be ignorant, but there will never be such a shock.
After this kind of close-up on the screen, these actions are extraordinarily real.
With the cold expression on Jet Li's face, the whole person looks cool and powerful.
I have to say that when Kevin saw Jet Li's expression, he felt even more in his heart that he was simply a natural villain.
Of course, he's also great when he plays decent.
It can only be said that his plasticity is really strong.
One punch, one kick, every move is fatal, and every move hits the heart of the gangster.
Those who were hit by him lost their ability to react on the spot.
These supporting roles are also quite hardworking, at least the basic acting skills are qualified.
With the makeup artist, it is a good representation of what it looks like to be hit.
To this end, the crew even invited professionals to help with modeling to ensure that everything is realistic enough.
This truth is reflected in front of the audience.
The feeling to them is that the protagonist is really powerful, and the kung fu seems to really exist.
The first wave of play, five to ten minutes, completely brought the atmosphere of the scene.
Hearty and clever fighting, let people directly addicted.
Then the plot entered a buffer period, and the protagonist learned that his beloved daughter had been transferred and was about to be sent to accompany a guest three days later.
And he has to follow in his daughter's footsteps, trying to find a way to rescue her daughter in many countries within three days, otherwise it will be too late.
This sense of urgency tugs at the audience's senses and makes them completely unable to stop.
・・・
Jet Li looked at himself in the movie, his fists clenched tightly, and he felt a little excited in his heart.
Chapter 368 Follow-up to the Hurricane Rescue
Through makeup, the harsh part of his face was reduced.
In the movie, he is a man who is worried about the safety of his daughter and the image of a loving father.
Although Jet Li doesn't understand what a character design is, he instinctively knows that this movie will be a classic role similar to Huang Feihong he played.
That's the power of a director.
Counting all the films Kevin has made, Chainsaw has created such an excellent villain as Chainsaw.
Pirates of the Caribbean Captain Jack Sparrow, charming.
The Matrix, Fast and Furious, which one of the protagonists, is not charming.
Without this kind of skill, there is no ability to shape classics.
The movie with about one and a half hours of content ended soon after the screening.
Kevin and Robinoff left the scene directly, leaving a few actors to interact with the audience.
As for Kevin, he has no such interest.
