Hollywood Drawing - Chapter 630

Compared to the first time he was at the Super Bowl, when he showed his own movie trailer, Wayne is now much more relaxed.

Just like a few years ago, every year at this point in time, both Sergey and the butler couple in the manor will gather in the living room to watch the Super Bowl with their boss, and then watch his new movie trailer. This year, there are only a few. A relatively special guest.

Since Warner Bros. screened its own movie trailer on Super Night a few years ago, this much-anticipated “North American Spring Festival Gala” halftime commercial show has basically become a preview base for Hollywood blockbusters and major movies. Companies, announce their fixed channels for this year’s head videos.

Of course, the cost of appearing on the Super Bowl halftime commercial has always been high. As early as a few years ago, Warner Bros. paid a sky-high fee of more than three million US dollars. Will choose such an expensive distribution channel.

And the first commercial of the Super Bowl halftime commercial has a very heavy weight in the hearts of fans. Everyone knows that, if nothing else, this will be the trailer for Wayne’s movie-watching carnival again this summer. , which first appeared, has become, in a way, another brand identity that Greenberg has produced.

“eon! Here comes…”

Sergey, with a sturdy body like a man and a bear, sat cross-legged on the living room carpet. He didn’t care or was interested in the gossips that the ladies talked about, and he was even more interested in the secrets that the other two men talked about casually. Feeling that it has nothing to do with him, the people in the whole living room who care about the trailer are obviously the only ones who are most attentive to waiting.

Following the murmur of the Russian bear, everyone in the living room turned their attention to the TV that had just ended the first half of the game.

“boom!”

The TV went dark, and there was no time for the audience to wonder, and then accompanied by the roaring background sound, two huge letters appeared: DC. The two letters are still composed of dark elements as a whole, and they only stay for less than a second and then flash by.

The picture recovered brightly, and James Franco appeared in front of the audience in a bright red Flash suit and in a running posture. Meanwhile, a muffled male voiceover appears in the background.

“You can go to any universe at any time!”

After the brief voice-over sounded, the Flash on the TV, with electric lights flashing all over his body, ran out in an instant.

The picture flashed again, the TV returned to darkness again, and a huge DC appeared again, just like the rhythm of the first time, it disappeared in less than a second, and then the picture that appeared became another one. Super hero.

In the warm sunset, Batman Bruce Wayne, leaning on the balcony with a glass of whiskey, was fascinated. Just like the scene at the end of “The Dark Knight”, the Flash Barry Allen, wearing a bright red blitz suit, ran out of the void.

This time it’s not like the end of “Batman: The Dark Knight”, there’s no trickery, and the camera directly gives a close-up at close range.

“Hey Mr Wayne, you may have to delay thinking about retirement, we may need your help!”

The Flash, who ran to the balcony, didn’t talk nonsense, and directly explained his purpose under the muffled background music.

“who?”

Bruce Wayne, who was holding the whiskey, didn’t change his expression, as if he had gone through countless vicissitudes and time, and even the sudden appearance of The Flash in front of him did not cause him any emotional change.

“Old friend you know!” The Flash replied quickly, and then made a running gesture. “I’m going to inform the others, get ready, Mr. Wayne!”

Before leaving, Barry Allen turned his head again, looked at the vicissitudes of Batman seriously, and whispered to himself: “This world needs heroes!”

The picture on the TV flashed again, the dark and solemn DC letters appeared for a third time, and the low voice-over in the background played again, repeating one of Barry Allen’s whispers.

“This world needs heroes!”

The switching of the sound of the music changed from a low tone to a light and electronic style, and the picture also switched to the Flash, which is exactly his work scene as an investigator.

“Tell me, you can go anywhere, right?”

“Any time, in any universe, right?”

With the low voice-over questioning, the picture began to flicker faster and faster, as if someone suddenly accelerated the timeline, and the figure of Barry Allen was changing faster and faster.

Sometimes he is an ordinary investigator, sometimes he turns into lightning, fighting with invisible enemies, and sometimes he seems to be talking to several mysterious figures.

“Thorn!”

The special effects of lightning suddenly filled the entire TV screen, ending the picture that became faster and faster. Finally, these lightnings converged in sparks and hit a bright red lightning symbol. The camera zoomed further and further, and a line of words converged on the lightning flashing symbol:

DC: The!

The screen went dark again, and DC, which has remained unchanged for thousands of years, flashed by again. The intention here is very obvious, that is, to continuously strengthen the audience’s brand effect on DC.

In the dark background, a line of huge text gradually appeared:

“This world needs heroes!”

“Wayne Greenberg Works!”

“1998, May, 19, lightning strikes!”

When the short thirty-second trailer ended, everyone in the hall of Greenberg Manor took their eyes off the TV one by one.

George Lucas didn’t care about what they were wearing when they went to Grammy. He turned to look at the man beside him, raised his hands, clapped his palms first, and gave him his own applause. It was like a beginning, and the others in the living room gave an encouraging applause.

“How does this film seem to be…”

The Father of Star Wars raised the beer, touched the bottle with Wayne, raised his head and took a sip, and then said hesitantly: “Why doesn’t it seem to be your style in the past, the pictures of The Flash in the trailer all tend to be Brightened, short-form feature shots are more like a summer commercial popcorn.”

Although Batman Bruce Wayne appears in the trailer, and the overall rhythm of this trailer is also fully mysterious, the brief picture reveals quite a lot of information.

On the whole, as long as Alan Barry appears in the scene, the picture is very bright tones, which is completely different from the overall style of Wayne’s previous works. Especially the last “Batman: The Dark Knight”, the dark opera sense of the tall space layout, the heavy epic sense, almost all disappeared.

“That’s right.”

Wayne nodded and admitted it without hesitation. “This film, compared to the previous DC series, is indeed much simpler in terms of story and screen layout. You guessed right, this “Flash” is more like a summer special effect popcorn. ”

In fact, this trailer has already given a clear hint to the role of the Flash Barry Allen. He can travel through time, space, and even the past and the future, acting as a lubricant that connects other heroes.

Now he is connected to, without a doubt, Batman Bruce Wayne. When the film is officially released, the audience will be able to know that he is also connected to other heroes. Or it should be said that it is eliciting, using its own unique attributes, eliciting other heroes, and giving the most reasonable and appropriate explanation for the gathering of heroes.

Frowning his brows, the father of Star Wars still felt that he was too radical, and reminded: “But hastily changed the style drastically, the market…”

Now as long as the works of Wayne Greenberg are mentioned, it seems that the first impression in the audience’s mind is the dark and deep theme, the story that attracts people but makes people think continuously, and the indispensable social problem. Attention, elements that can warn the world, etc.

If you put it another way, it is that in his works, the so-called “art” element will never be lacking. It is precisely because of the existence of these things that his works can make people willing to go to the theater to watch them repeatedly, and get different harvests every time.

“George, I feel that Wayne’s film might achieve quite good market results.”

Naomi Watts, who was on the side, suddenly said under the gazes of everyone: “As an ordinary person, I actually don’t like Wayne’s previous works, it’s all works, even those I personally Participated in.”

“Hey, Nami…” Looking at the playful smile on the face of the Australian actress, Wayne spread his hands helplessly and smiled bitterly.

“Listen to me, Honey.”

Stretching out a white finger and shaking it left and right at the man, Naomi Watts continued: “As an ordinary audience, although Wayne’s previous movies can also be considered very good-looking, there is one thing that everyone doesn’t like. It has to be admitted that if you want to watch his films better, there is a threshold for fans to watch.

But this “Flash”, I feel more like a pure visual feast. When we walk into the theater to watch movies, we don’t have to think too much, just enjoy those top-level special effects, enjoy the birth process of the heroes we liked when we were young, and then happily look forward to the next works. This is enough. ”

Her meaning is obvious. The movie “The Flash” really made Wayne abandon many traditional personal styles. At the same time, it also abandoned the invisible threshold of watching movies. It’s fun to walk into the cinema.

Sometimes things are like this, without those high-profile, simple and pure visual feasts that the director thinks, stories that don’t need to be guessed, but can be loved by more ordinary people.

It’s very simple. Michael Bay, who was criticized by film critics as soon as he debuted, seems to always explode and explode again. His storytelling ability is a disaster, but he is one of the fans’ favorite directors.

He was also scolded by film critics back then. George Lucas was deeply touched by this point. Whenever Star Wars was released, everyone complained about his storytelling ability, but this did not affect the star. The war’s box office, so he nodded thoughtfully, and stopped worrying about the movie’s excessive popcorn.
