Chapter 726 Sparta does not need tenderness

Even at the end of the fiercely contested summer season, the advertisements and trailers of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Spartan" have attracted the attention of a considerable number of movie fans.

“My favorite slow-motion scenes in the trailer, like the scene where King Leonida of Spartan was slaughtered by a group of unlucky and ugly Persians.”

This is a promotional video placed on the yutube homepage. The young people interviewed were obviously affected by the continuous slander of the media. "I know that the film deliberately slowed down, but in this desperate fight scene, it is really cool and cool to let the evil Persians spray blood all the way."

There are many people who share the same opinion, and another young fan also talks about this in the video, "The cool and slow shot, in my opinion, is a complete, thorough, instinctive destruction. With the splash of blood, the part that fights with swords is very attractive.

"My favorite scene is that Leonida used a shield to slap an evil Persian warrior flying away, which was like slapping a fly. Wow, think about it, what a great impact it is!"

At the end of the video, Nicole, who has not appeared for a long time, also came out to sing praises for the film he invested in. "If director Zach Snyder had no diverse visual innovations and only used normal visual speeds, continuous bleeding would make the audience feel aesthetically tired. This carefully arranged slow-motion shot will keep the eyeball fresh. "The Three Hundred Warriors of Spartan" is a movie that brings audio-visual special effects to the extreme."

In the continuous promotional hype, the film held a huge premiere at the Hollywood Chinese Theater in late July.

The most attractive thing at the premiere was undoubtedly the collective appearance of more than a dozen super-stylists led by Gerald Butler and Michael Fassbender. Although they did not wear the iconic red cape and red pants, they caused continuous screams from female movie fans on the scene when they walked on the red carpet.

Of course, as the propaganda, a team of Persian "Immortal Legion" warriors wearing silver masks, and a team of Spartan warriors wearing helmets and armor, took neat steps and ran directly on the red carpet and stood on both sides.

Heroic and strong stand face to face with mysterious evil, murdering countless journalists.

Walking onto the red carpet with Nicole in her arms, Ryan just waved to both sides and walked quickly towards the theater. Nicole, who had disappeared from the public eye for a long time, was not as coldly treated by the media as other Hollywood actresses. As long as she appeared, she was almost one of the media’s focus.

Even if you are not the top actress in Hollywood, who can ignore a fashionable and beautiful top female rich man?

After nearly a month of planned exercise, Nicole's figure has basically recovered. Ryan accompanied her into the interview area and made it aside very consciously. The microphones of ABC TV and Disney-Ryan online channels were instantly handed to Nicole.

Although there are some rumors in Hollywood, Disney reporters are not stupid enough to ask their company directors with such questions.

"Miss Kidman, this is your first public appearance in nearly a year, right?"

"Yes. I've had a long vacation."

Even though I wanted to say something else, Nicole's eyes floated over Ryan's face and said, "I felt a lot of pressure from my long-term work, so I took a break for a while."

"You are the producer and main investor of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta". Will you turn behind the scenes in the future?"

“Investing in and making movies is a job that I love very much.”

This kind of problem is not difficult for Nicole, "Of course. I will continue my acting career, provided that I meet the right role."

"There was previously reported that Leonida and the Spartans were not heroes. They were just fascists in another sense. Miss Kidman, what do you think of this problem?"

"As we all know, the earliest democracy originated in ancient Greece and ancient Rome." Nicole had done his homework long ago with this agreed issue. "Leonida and the Spartans resisted the tyrants to maintain freedom. Their heroic battle at the Hot Springs Pass won time for the assembly of the Greek coalition, thus protecting the budding of democracy. They fought for freedom and democracy. Nearly 2,500 years have passed, and countless historians and writers have regarded them as heroes. I think this is more convincing than the quibbling of some people."

As for those historians and writers who were all Westerners, they were automatically ignored by Nicole and all the reporters.

After answering a few more questions, Nicole picked up Ryan and walked into the Hollywood Chinese Theater.

Before the two of them could enter the screening hall, they saw the main creators who had finished the photo and walked into the theater one after another. Among them, Zach Schneider, as the director, took a few steps and caught up.

"Hi, Zach."

Faced with the other party's warm greeting, Ryan held it in his hand. Zach Schneider said very seriously, "Mr. Jenkins, thank you for recommending me to direct this video."

"You've proved to be doing a great job." Ryan patted his shoulder.

The other party obviously came to look for Nicole, and then said as he walked, "Miss Kidman, I heard some news that the Iranian government and Iranian President Ahmadinejad are likely to make a formal protest on "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" in the near future, and I am a little worried..."

"Zach, you're responsible for the publicity." Nicole didn't even raise her eyes, "Leave this kind of thing to deal with."

"That's OK."

Zach Schneider seemed to be afraid of affecting his reputation. Now with Nicole's promise, he said goodbye immediately. He knew very well that the two people next to him had won the public opinion war with the Iranian government.

“This is really good news.”

Entering the screening room where the giant screen was changed, Ryan took Nicole to deal with some of the people who were greeting him, and sat in the seat behind the crew, "I have seen hope of a big movie."

"Don't forget..." Nicole reminded him seriously, "The other party is a country."

"What can they do to us?" Ryan shrugged indifferently.

That being said, he has asked Disney and all affiliated companies to strengthen security measures, including the Internet, etc.

Since "Argo", the Iranian government, which was the first to launch map guns, can be regarded as the public enemy of Hollywood. In recent years, Walt Disney and several other major media groups have been implementing the strategy of raising black water to start from young people. They always instill in the concept that Iran is the source of evil in the whole United States and the entire Western world through some obscure ways.

"The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" is just an extension of this promotional strategy in the movie.

Of course, anti-dictatorship and anti-tyranny have always been the main theme of the entire Western society. If you don’t talk about the special effects of the film, the theme alone will be in line with the taste of the mainstream market.

Although this film has many unique and innovative techniques, it inherits the consistent tradition of mainstream Hollywood films in terms of concepts, with clear black and white and clear distinction between good and evil.

In Ryan's eyes, the Persian image was far more ugly and evil than in his previous life. Xerxes I was covered with perforations and hanging rings. No matter how you look, they didn't look like the monarch of a country, but instead they looked like the most weirdly dressed modern hippies in the gay bar in New York.

Also, the Persian soldiers and generals are given close-ups, and their images are even more perverted than those of the perverted characters in traditional American horror movies. Hollywood is conveying this way to the world. People like the Persians who look evil and perverted must be cruel and cruel in their hearts.

The eyes are still shifting to the movie itself, to the words of mainstream North American media - this is a classic battle that took place 2,500 years ago, a visual feast of swords and swords, and it is also the epic blockbuster that is known as the most anticipated in 2006.

The reason why this movie is attractive is that the social factors other than the movie are mostly attributed to its suffocating image charm. The cg synthetic image quality created by applying blue-green technology to the extreme has a charm that transcends the reality.

The dark and warm tones, splashing blood drops and rolling soil are repeatedly expressed, and the freezing picture of the camera continues to appear in the switching between the fast and slow rhythm, which can easily mobilize the audience's emotions. This almost blends with all the existing methods of expressing the tension of the image, and can also make the audience watch with great enthusiasm.

"The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" is adapted from a comic, so it is faithful to the stories expressed in the original comic rather than the records in history books. Perhaps viewers who are familiar with history can find the differences, but the magical content involved is slightly to better attract audiences and increase the selling points of the film.

Among them are those strong men with tall and strong figures, eight-pack abs, and running as dazzling as Heckeys. Whenever the close-up shots are given to these men, the screams of female audiences will appear from time to time behind...

As an epic film, of course, fierce war scenes are indispensable.

During the many attacks that the Spartans repelled, the Persians were tragic indescribable. The three hundred people were almost portrayed as gods of war by the film. Dealing with ordinary enemies was like cutting melons and vegetables. In this harsh battle and bloody battle, the Spartan warriors were ready to die until the last drop of blood on their bodies was shed.

This is a movie with basically no tenderness, with wide shoulders, protruding biceps and drunken body appearing everywhere on the screen.

In other words, "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" does not require tenderness, everything here is just strength and perseverance.

The characteristics of the film are very prominent and the disadvantages are obvious.

Because he was attracted by the pictures and rhythm, most viewers could not leave a deep impression on the characters and their personalities after watching them. Even the character of the protagonist Leonardo may not be more impressive than Gerald Butler's exaggerated muscles left on the audience.

The performance can only leave an extremely diluted mark in this film. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianyi, the novel is better, updated and faster! u
