"Oh, Netflix."

Walking along the way through the theater through the screening hall, Bentner could see familiar signs everywhere: "There are Netflix advertisements everywhere."

Rosici, a friend next to him, said: "Netflix and Embassy Films, which released "Spy Shadows", seem to be affiliated with the same group company, and it seems to be..." He thought for a while: "Yes, it's called Relativity Entertainment Group."

Bentner followed the crowd and asked as he walked: "Last time we registered with Netflix, have you used it?"

Rosici glanced at a girl who was crowded behind her and said, "It's very convenient. You just need to click a few times with the mouse. The selected movie will be in the email the next day. It's much better than queuing up at Pepsika."

"I know." Bentner couldn't allow his friends to show off, saying, "I rented seven movies at Netflix last month, only two from the Pepsika store."

Rosici said strangely: "I've been to the Pepsi store several times last month. Have you noticed it? There are much fewer people in the Pepsi store than last year."

Bentner thought for a moment and said, "It seems that the queue time is obviously short."

Rosici remembered another thing: "By the way, I read an announcement on Netflix, and it is said that their website will launch some new features in the second half of the year."

Bentner nodded: "I saw it too."

The two of them followed the flow of people into the theater. The theater that could accommodate thousands of people was full of seats. Those who came later could only sit in the back rows and corners.

I'm late and can't get a good seat, but it's also a bit of a benefit. You don't have to wait too long to see the video.

The first thing that appeared was not "Spy Shadows 2", but another movie's patch advertisement, the passionate background music, the peculiar pirate captain swaying like a willow in the wind, and the strong muscles of swordsman who can crush eggs with his chest...

This obviously magical patch ad left a deep impression on Bennett and Rosici, and unconsciously remembered the release time.

The advertisement for the sequel movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" that will inevitably attract attention in "Spy Shadows 2" can undoubtedly have excellent publicity effects.

This is also one of the most primitive and effective publicity methods in Hollywood.

Ronan believes that this will further increase the popularity of Pirates of the Caribbean.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" was released a weekend after the Independence Day holiday, and pre-screening promotions have begun.

Then, the main film began to be screened.

The story of "Spy Shadows 2" has been two years since the thrilling killing in the first part. Bourne, who lives in seclusion in India with his girlfriend, is still entangled by the vague memory clips. Bourne's whereabouts appear in a Berlin bombing, bringing him back to Cia's sight again.

Senior CIA officials are involved in corruption and attempt to cover up their crimes.

They first instructed the Russian oil giant to hire killers to silence all the agents sent by the CIA and the informants who traded with them, leaving Bourn's fingerprints, and then went to the remote town of India, Goa, to assassinate Bourn, to cause a headless case of death without evidence.

In order to avenge his girlfriend Mary, Bourne, who was killed by death, swept many places and finally defeated the CIA ghosts and killers, and at the same time, the mystery of his nightmare was finally revealed.

And at the beginning of the film, there was a dramatic reversal that made people shockedly turnaround.

Just when the audience thought that Mary would be Bourne's "spy girl" just like 007 or Spy Million, the video arranged for Mary to die early.

The following plot was well-intentioned and designed as a double line: on the one hand, how Bourne revealed the inside story of the CIA and cleansed up his innocence; on the other hand, he further clarified the indelible memories of the shadows surrounding him.

Of course, this movie is not a simple story of revenge for his girlfriend.

In fact, except for the fight with Cia agents in Munich, Germany and being forced to strangle him in self-defense, Bourne never killed anyone in the whole plot, and always remembered Mary's instructions to him: "You must have another choice, you can not kill anyone."

As a result, the whole story eventually turned into a process of self-salvation.

At the end of the film, Bourne said in front of the orphan of the Neskis and his wife: "Your parents didn't die like that, I'm sorry." He removed his heavy psychological burden.

Compared with "Spy Shadows 1", the second part has a brighter pace.

Director Paul Greengras gave Ronan a statistics. The average shot length of "Spy Shadow" is 2.6 seconds, while in "Spy Shadow 2", the average shot length is only 1.9 seconds!

The high-speed editing creates an extremely exciting visual climax.

It can be said that Paul Greengras has given the film many new forms of expression.

But as a typical commercial film, the plot setting still follows the most basic Hollywood model.

The opposition between the protagonist and the villain is very obvious, and it always runs through the confrontation between Bourne and Caa. The person in charge of the "stumbling block" plan has not yet died, and Bourne is hunted by Cia again.

Then there is the typical three-act structure.

The first act must explain the characters and background: Bourne is on the run, Cia's keyboard warrior, and turtleneck sweater controllers have initially formulated strategies to deal with Bourne; the second act of conflict intensifies, Bourne establishes contact with key teammates, Cia first sends minions to explore the way, and then sends a killer who is evenly matched with Bourne to block the attack. During this period, there will definitely be a car chase scene, a tracking and anti-stalking scene.

The story of the third act reaches its climax, Bourne's survival crisis is lifted, Cia's senior management is punished, Bourne's own BGM exits gorgeously.

Of course, as an orthodox commercial film, there are also mainstream values ​​that never go out of time and evil cannot suppress justice.

The script of "Spy Shadows 3" has been completed. Including the first two, the top CIA executives who were careless at the end either died of life or committed suicide by swallowing guns, or had a bad reputation for a thousand years, or were in prison.

This is in line with the audience's expectations for mainstream commercial films - a happy ending such as evil people do not suppress righteousness and evil people will be punished.

Ultimately, these are some of the rules that business is most likely to succeed.

Those who follow the rules have the highest chance of commercial success, while those who don’t follow the rules may not succeed, but the chance of success is much smaller.

At the end of the film screening, extremely warm applause sounded in the theater. The applause lasted for a long time and lasted for several minutes, especially the audience in the back row was sitting area. When the applause in front had fallen, there was still thunderous applause there.

It seems that only in this way can they express their love for the film.

A popular film that is loved by most viewers can easily be deeply rooted in people's hearts.

At the end of the premiere, Ronan did not stop too much, called Anne Hathaway, took her into the car, and returned to Beverly Hills.

After Anne Hathaway got into the car, she kept pressing her eyes lightly.

"What's wrong?" Ronan asked with concern: "Do you feel uncomfortable? Do you want to see a doctor?"

Anne Hathaway turned her head and smiled at Ronan, saying, "It's okay, the movie camera sways too much, and the camera switches too fast, which may cause visual fatigue, just take a break."

Ronan gently patted her hand: "Close your eyes and wait for a while."

Anne Hathaway closed her eyes and leaned on Ronan's shoulder, saying, "This movie has a unique style, especially with the action design, and the action shots are too sharp."

Ronan said: "This is also the selling point of the film."

Anne Hathaway opened her eyes: "It's too unfriendly to audiences who are prone to eye fatigue."

Luo Nan laughed silently. In fact, many people don’t like the “Spy Shadows” series. The biggest reason is the style problem.

Fortunately, this is an ordinary 2D, not a 3D, otherwise it would be eye fatigue, but many people vomit it directly.

But most people appreciate this style. After all, similar styles have become the mainstream of Hollywood action movies in the future.

In this era of unprecedented development of CG technology, any star can dodge and play a hero on the screen, but the audience has long been tired of this aesthetic taste.

Therefore, when Jayne Burn, who was moving against the trend, took the increasingly empty figure of the screen agent back to the ground, and used a solid punch and kick in a realistic style and fierce posture, which immediately shocked everyone.

In the past seven or eight years, with the latest CG technology, science fiction films and disaster films with increasingly violent visual effects have crazily eroded the territory of traditional action films, and action films have been forced to go on another path, relying heavily on explosion flames and human sea tactics to fight against opponents on the scene. This can be said to be a major reason for the gradual decline of traditional action films.

Once in the lonely and depressed action films, "Spy Shadows" was like an existence that emerged from nowhere. Even the "007" series that was so vast that it was reborn with Bourne's inspiration, which can be considered as injecting a shot of stimulant into the action film market. Many subsequent action films have embarked on the characteristic route of Bourne.

The direct and effective fist strategy of "Spy Shadows" was followed by action movies, while the dance of "Thunder Angel" that kicked around with steel wires became an outdated product that no one cares about.

Even the Mission: Impossible series, which has always been short of high-tech, later learned from Bourne, a civilian agent. Ethan Hant made a move and paid attention to the enemy with three punches and two kicks, without the romantic freehand painting and lengthy entanglement of "Mission: Impossible 2".

If you want to say that the master of "The Legend of Spy" has fully understood all the action methods, it is also the "Hurricane Rescue" series. Retired agents with unique skills are alone in the evil group, and the narrative that is straightforward and direct, without the cg-assisted pursuit, fighting, gunfighting and explosion images, high-speed editing, and rapid soundtracks, all of which can be learned to be stylish and stylish.

Of course, the current action design of "Hurricane Rescue" and even action editing are also learning the style of "Spy Shadow".

The "Spy Shadows" series has left a brilliant mark in film history.
