Chapter 727 Commentary is more exciting than the movie

"In terms of technology, although the blue and green screen and CG computer technology used in "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" is the most mature blue and green screen and CG computer technology in the industry, it is a relatively simple multi-layer picture synthesis, and the complexity is incomparable to "King Kong". The frequent use of fast and slow motion free switching is also a technique used by MV directors. Directors in the film industry do not want to play with such frivolous skills."

With the development of the Internet, film critics will naturally not ignore the extremely important position of the Internet. This is the long film review published by Roger Albert in his online column.

"Many people know that the so-called green screen and blue screen are the characters performing in front of the screen during filming. After the later processing, the shooting action can be placed in front of any background. "Spartan 300 Warriors" is the result of pushing blue screen technology and computer animation technology to the extreme. Before the movie was released, I saw its shooting highlights, a group of naked men fighting in a fake manner in the studio, comparing the finished product with the real situation during the shooting. This is definitely a great irony in the history of filming."

"I believe that blue and green screen plus computer CG animation will increasingly occupy Hollywood screens, and the historical connotation of the movies we see will gradually be taken away. In fact, not only history, but also the elements of reality will also be taken away. If there is anything terrible, then this is the most terrible."

"In fact, history is never just history. History is a vivid reality. The reason why we shoot and watch historical films is not because we love to see things that are already dead, but because people in the past have been as excited, dull, sad, and happy as we are like us, because they have a blood-connected relationship with us."

"The trend of blue and green screen plus computer CG animation is on the surface, which is arbitrary development of visual imagination. But if you think about it carefully, these imaginations have no foundation. These imaginations are separated from the real environment and have no resonance with the real human life."

"This is the revelation that a film like "Spartan 300 Warriors" brings us - when we seem to see a kind of 'super reality', we actually just see 'zero reality'. In other words, sometimes 'super reality' and 'zero reality' are equivalent. If the blue and green screen plus computer cg animation continues to move forward, the movie's perception of the external world will also fall into the abyss."

"Why do moviegoers always talk about old black and white films? I'm afraid it's not out of simple nostalgia, because what audiences want to see is more movies that are closely linked to the real world, rather than sensory films that attract attention with both weird and absurd and inconvenient techniques."

Originally, Ryan had long since paid close attention to the professional comments of Roger Albert and others. After all, their influence is getting smaller and smaller. In addition, he had cut off half of his mouth a few years ago and suffered from cancer. Perhaps only God knows whether there have been movies that have been reviewed.

Besides, since his leading and leading Hollywood to cancel some cooperation with film critics, the benefits obtained by veteran film critics have been greatly reduced. Except for a few films that must remain consistent with mainstream society's views, the other party has not said anything good about the films he starred in and led in recent years.

With different positions and different interests, Ryan simply lost sight of him. He could see God in half of his eyes, and he couldn't really suppress him blatantly.

If Nicole hadn't read it to him, Ryan might not have known about the review published by the other party for a week, a month or even a long time.

"Sandy, mom is angry."

Holding his daughter, Ryan said to Nicole, who was sitting in front of the computer in the distance, "Okay, Nicole, why bother with their comments."

"They just opened their mouths and moved their pens..." Nicole said, "or typing the keyboard a few times, and then using vicious words to reject other people's hard work for a year, two or even several years."

Her voice suddenly rose a little higher. "This is a group of despicable parasites!"

"Dear, the voice is lower." Ryan quickly made a shut-up gesture, "You're going to scare Sandy."

"Sonny..." Nicole said his daughter's nickname and looked here gently, "You don't care about your mother's voice, right?"

Even if the little guy cares, he can't object. He just glares at his beautiful blue eyes and turns around.

Nicole got up and walked into the locker room next to her, changed her clothes, came to Ryan, took Sandy, and kissed her tender little hand gently, "I'm going to feed my daughter."

She pointed to the computer over there, "When I left just now, someone seemed to be posting a rebuttal to Roger Albert, can you go over and read it for me?"

"This..." Seeing Nicole's light blue eyes turning, Ryan had to walk to the computer, sit down, refresh the webpage, and take a closer look, "Wow, the comments are indeed more exciting than the movie."

Nicole lifted her clothes, gave a free hand, and made a gesture to invite her.

"Why do movie audiences always talk about old black and white movies..."

After Ryan read the last paragraph of Roger Albert's first reply, he slowly repeated the replies against Roger Albert's film reviews on the Internet. In fact, he and Nicole don't need to stand up. Internet users composed of teenagers will fight back for them.

As he said, the reviews are even more exciting than the movie.

"Please, who says that audiences like black and white videos? Like old videos? Please don't represent all audiences. I know a hundred friends and classmates, and most of them like to watch movies, but I have never heard of them like to watch black and white movies."

"Can you keep up with the development of the times? If not, please stop making some inexplicable comments."

"It's enough to get what I want when watching a movie. What I watch is the scene, which makes people feel bloody. I feel so happy. Then this is a good movie. You can't ask every movie to reflect real problems, right? All we want is simple entertainment."

"I don't understand what this person thinks? I just accidentally clicked in here? Is the person who commented is an old guy? Then don't just comment on movies made for young people."

This is even more straightforward, and I don't know Roger Albert at all.

"It seems Roger Albert is very famous?"

"I don't know, I searched for news about "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" by Google, and then I entered here."

"Don't worry about who is commenting. As long as you like it, it's a good movie for you."

"The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" is beautiful in the picture, the music is shocking, the story is passionate, and people are excited to watch it. This kind of visual blockbuster is a good movie for me!"

In fact, this is a microcosm of the response of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta".

The film market responded well. It won a box office of US$71.65 million in North America on the first three days of the first week, pressing a series of competitors such as "Jurassic Park 3" whose box office inevitably declined due to time, and took the throne of the North American box office rankings.

However, in the eyes of those critics with their eyes on their heads, this film is an operatic long MV. In addition to the connotation and special effects, they criticized the random tampering with history, such as pointing out that there are no rhinos and elephants in the Persian army, and the Persian king Xerxes I was actually a bearded man who sat on the chariot and watched the battle, unlike the bald head full of metal rings as depicted in the movie, and was still having fun on the battlefield.

The summer season is approaching its end, and Hollywood has also lacked enough hot topics recently. In order to attract attention and the film company's public relations, the latest release of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Spartan" has become a hot topic in the entertainment media. Moreover, they are skillful in methods, flexible in operation, and are very tacitly divided into two factions.

Today, Disney's paper media just criticized the film for disrespecting history, and online media represented by Yahoo refuted that this is normal artistic processing.

Traditional media are choosing places where the film does not conform to historical records. Online media give examples to show that the film respects history to a certain extent. For example, Xerxes sent people to send a message to the Greek defenders, saying that there are too many Persian soldiers, and that the arrows shot alone can cover the sun, while the Spartans laughed and said, "That's great, let's kill in the shade and have fun." This is copied from historical books.

The hype on both sides attracted more audience attention. As the behind-the-scenes promoter, Ryan watched the box office of "The Three Hundred Warriors" rise steadily. In just ten days, the film's North American box office exceeded 150 million US dollars.

This number is incomparable to "Iron Man" and "Jurassic Park 3", but the investment in the film is also low, with the production cost only $65 million. Even if the costs of marketing and other aspects are added, the total investment is only $110 million.

The historical issues about the film lasted for nearly a week and were quickly calmed down.

On the one hand, compared with images, text is always weak; compared with legends, truth is always weak. There is history in the world, but if there are more people who have changed, there will be no history.

In other words, history loses the truth from the moment it happens.

Are there few movies in Hollywood that tamper with history? Will Hollywood producers care about tampering with history?

The media hype is nothing more than a promotional campaign led by Jenkins Pictures and Kidman Studios in collaboration with public relations under the promotion of Ryan.

As for the other hand, someone finally challenged North America in terms of public opinion. Perhaps North American media will make noises over trivial matters, but when foreign enemies appear, mainstream media will definitely turn their guns in unison.

"The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" has appeared in overseas markets one after another. When the film was released in the Middle East and Arab regions, the Iranian government once again made a tough response. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianyi, the novel is better and faster!
