Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

Chapter 389 This special character is a superhero!

"Who is the guy playing Wolverine? What works have you done before? How come such a handsome actor has never been heard of?"

"Is it a newcomer? You don't look the same!"

"It's impossible for such a manly guy to debut?"

With the appearance of the eight-pack abs, the originally quiet movie theater suddenly exploded.

The young girl stared straight at the screen, greedily eager for more feedback from the camera.

And fellow men...

Although this visual impact was not that strong for them, while the girls exclaimed, their eyes couldn't move away from Hugh Jackman's face with beards.

Because of that wild and confident smile—

It's so handsome!

"His name is Hugh Jackman, he is an Australian actor."

"I used to act in stage plays, but I have only developed into the film industry in recent years."

"Maybe this is his Hollywood debut? He should be thirty years old?"

"Probably yes? But a guy with his condition coming to Hollywood at this age can be considered...Wow! Cool!!!"

Although the audience is willing to let the time stop at the moment when Wolverine demonstrates to the saber-toothed tiger, so that they can share their feelings with their friends, the theater will not give them this opportunity.

Because of this, while they are sharing information, the plot on the screen is also advancing with the roll of the film.

Facing Wolverine's provocation, Saber-toothed Tiger directly used the knee kick, a common technique in Muay Thai.

Right leg jerks up into Wolverine's belly, forcing him to step back.

Immediately afterwards, the saber-toothed tiger pulled its left hand out of Wolverine's claws.

If it's just these, then forget it.

After all, this is just self-help.

However, knowing that the enemy possessed super self-healing ability, the saber-toothed tiger not only did not feel timid, but like a ferocious beast that saw blood, it roared and rushed towards Wolverine!

Even though Wolverine has stretched out his claws to block his attack route, the saber-toothed tiger is still unafraid!

Trade injuries for injuries, let Wolverine's alloy steel claws scratch his arm!

After pulling into the distance, the saber-toothed tiger slapped the opponent's head firmly with both hands, then pressed down hard, and raised his right leg again!

When Wolverine's cheek and saber-toothed tiger's iron knee meet for the first time...

The splattered blood makes one's scalp tingle!

And wait for Wolverine to distance himself from him, and wait for the wound on his cheek to heal...

That intact face with the filthy blood stains showed the toughness in his bones to the fullest!

"ah!!"

Wolverine let out a roar, and he, who was at a disadvantage, started to run away. Then, he attacked like a gust of wind sweeping fallen leaves, and the bang bang bang turned into a hammer, hitting the hearts of the audience!

"Oh! Fuck!!!"

The previous discussion came to an abrupt end.

The surge of adrenaline made the audience so excited!

‘Is this a play? This special code turned out to be a play? '

Unbelievable emotions occupy their brains!

The next second, the excitement generated by this made them appreciate everything in front of them!

In fact, because of different cultures, audiences in different regions have different tastes.

Take horror movies as an example, most of them in Southeast Asia are based on exaggerating the atmosphere, fully interpreting the concept of "don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door". , incorporating elements such as witchcraft and imps, which are taboo by normal people, to create a gloomy and weird atmosphere.

But horror movies in Europe and America are different. Simple and crude ones are the mainstream. They directly stimulate you visually, and make you feel physically uncomfortable through a method similar to that of human anatomy class. In this case, the brain actively Recognizing the disgusting emotion will give goosebumps all over your body, and in doing so, terror will arise.

It is precisely because of the difference in ability to accept that Kevin Feige also made the most direct adjustments in the fight scene.

There is no situation similar to Jackie Chan's rioting in the furniture city. All the close combats are fist to flesh!

It’s like The Terminator—

When Arnold Schwarzenegger pressed his opponent's head on the ground to dig a hole, the resulting excitement made the audience feel refreshed!

More similar to "The Avengers"—

When the Hulk dragged Loki's legs and whipped him on the ground, that powerful move made the audience so excited that it was hard to restrain themselves!

Of course, the reason for arranging such a paragraph is also to establish a vivid image in front of the audience.

After all, character design is too important for a movie.

Fox in his previous life created a handsome and charming character image for Wolverine.

When the audience is attracted by Hugh Jackman's figure and face, captured by Wolverine's toughness, and then falls into it and becomes a fan, the channel of derivative sequels naturally appeared.

You know, when "X-Men 3" hit the street, 210 million investment was exchanged for only 460 million box office. Hugh Jackman's personal resume is not impressive, and "Van Helsing" followed the trend of "Pirates of the Caribbean" Especially, despite the mediocre performance of "The Prestige", Fox still dared to spend 150 million yuan on "The Wolverine". That is because of the high integration of actors and characters!

The title of the world's sexiest man is the key to Fox's willingness to invest!

For this reason, Hugh Jackman also paid the price of showing off his figure in the movie!

Do you think Hugh Jackman is willing to show?

People are reluctant to play Wolverine, isn't that because the charm of the body exceeds the performance?

No way!

Who makes most viewers like his appearance?

Just like the Japanese actor Matsushige.

Uncle, I also regard "The Lonely Gourmet" as the biggest dark history in my acting career!

Because what people like is not his performance, but the delicacy produced by cooperating with the crew!

However, the preferences of actors cannot influence the capital's thoughts.

As long as it is profitable, capital will force actors to develop in the direction they want.

Because of this, Kevin Fitch, who wanted to turn Hugh Jackman into a Wolverine, spent two minutes letting him show the toughness of this super hero in front of the camera. After Wolverine defeated Saber-toothed Tiger, the sigh of regret that filled the theater became the audience's best feedback on this hero!

...

In fact, when the images of Wolverine and Magneto are established, "X-Men" has actually completed its mission, because the following plots are all to strengthen their images.

After repelling the saber-toothed tiger with the help of Storm, Wolverine and his party came to the school established by Professor X.

It took five minutes to explain the development of the line that survived Professor X in the background introduction before, and then the screen switched again, and came to the scene where Mystique captured the opposition MPs.

Unlike the original "X-Men", Kevin Fitch didn't waste too much ink on the congressman, and added the scene of Mystique beating each other here, because this kind of crushing with disparity in strength is simply It doesn't excite the audience.

So, by stealthily approaching the congressman and dealing with the opponent cleanly, it has become the first choice to show Mystique's personal ability. Fast, precise and ruthless is the label that the producer put on her.

And when Mystique brought the congressman back, Magneto, who didn't get the little rascal, first experimented with the congressman.

When he discovered that the goal of "co-evolution of all mankind" could be achieved, sending Mystique to infiltrate Professor X's school and lure the little rascal out became something he had to do.

After that—

That is of course the one who snatched Professor X from Magneto, and Professor X solved Magneto's riddle!

While these two high-latitude creatures were confronting each other, the phoenix girl, who temporarily appeared as a low-latitude creature, also got some opportunities to show herself, but this kind of show still aroused the public's interest as capital emphasized.

The meaning of the Phoenix Girl played by Charlize Theron is to show her beauty to the audience in front of the screen.

Unlike the handsome Wolverine who stripped off his coat, she wears glasses and walks in the style of an intellectual Yujie.

When Charlize Theron with red hair and shawl was wearing a slim doctor uniform, leaning over to inspect Wolverine, who was accidentally injured by the little rascal, the charming curve made many male viewers' mouths dry, and when Wolverine suddenly woke up, he jumped up. When he reached behind her, he instinctively grabbed her neck and looked around vigilantly. The straight body made the male audience even more short of breath.

Of course, there are at most a few scenes like this.

After all, at least on paper, this is a PG-13 crowd-pleaser movie, with no FBI warning to begin with.

And when the truth came to light, the final battle also kicked off.

Wolverine fights with Toad, Saber-toothed Tiger and Mystique one by one;

Phoenix, Storm, and Cyclops join forces to stop Magneto;

In short, the ADs are fisted to the flesh, and the APs have unlimited firepower. Well water does not interfere with river water, and everyone does not interfere with each other.

As for the result?

Of course, after Boom, Boom, Boom fought, Magneto finally lost and the X-Men won!

Actually, Kevin Feige did not make general changes to the plot of "X-Men". What he emphasized was actually to mobilize all resources, drive the entire plot, and serve a single character.

Because there is no movie in this world that allows the audience to remember all the plots exactly!

What is engraved into the DNA of the public will always be just a character condensed into a picture and a line!

Like the "Star Wars" series, there are more than a dozen main stories and rumors, but in the end only "Iamyourfather" is still fresh in my memory!

Like the "Terminator" series, hundreds of minutes of watching can't beat Arnold Schwarzenegger's "Iamback"!

"Titanic" is condensed to the extreme that is "Youjump, Ijump"!

When it comes to "Iron Man", "Iam Iron Man", it has run through the Marvel Universe for eleven years!

Kevin Feige's real task is not to make "X-Men" a series that surpasses "Spider-Man", but to let the audience like those characters who have the possibility of making a single movie in a limited time, and then use the characters, Expand the universe!

That's all.

Because of this, when Magneto was defeated due to exhaustion, but still straightened his chest to refute Professor X's concept of the Virgin, he insisted on himself, and showed the skill of pretending to escape to the fullest!

And when Wolverine learned the nameplate information on his neck from Professor X, and continued to search for the memories he once had in his head, he rode away on a motorcycle, leaving only a tug-of-war for the public. Back view!

Such an ending also made the fans who came to watch the movie feel that the trip was worthwhile—

"Magneto is so cool! If it wasn't because he wants to evolve with all human beings, how could he lose in the end?"

"The ability to manipulate the magnetic field is amazing! The part of being chased by the police is super cool! You can wipe out all the police forces with a wave of your hand!"

"Wolverine is so manly! I like his look!"

"What look? What look? What look? Fighting is the point, okay! This is the first time I've seen such retro fighting in a superhero movie! Especially Wolverine and Saber Tooth Tiger! They just stand there Hammer!"

"Yes, yes, yes! In the end, Wolverine 1v3! When he hit Toad, Mystique, and Saber-toothed Tiger, he was like a killer!! Toad's tongue is omnipotent? Then can you spit it out if you are cut into cubes? ? Mystique can imitate all creatures? Then can you copy my Adamantium alloy? Saber-toothed tiger has the same self-healing ability as him? But are you really more durable than me? I'm standing right here , if you can kill me, I will lose!"

"Wow! Wolverine reminds me of the T-800, awesome!"

"And Phoenix Girl! Who played this? I never knew there was such a beautiful girl in Hollywood before!"

"That's Charlize Theron, except she's been making independent films."

After the movie was released, news related to it fermented rapidly.

Although Universal, which is in charge of distribution, followed Roland Allen's intentions and never linked "X-Men" and "Spider-Man", as movies of the same type, how could the media not compare them together? ?

And when media groups such as NBC, ABC, and CNN are all wearing a pair of pants with Roland Allen, the titles and content they display are naturally more biased:

"If you're tired of Batman and Spider-Man being born, then I suggest you go into theaters and watch X-Men, because X-Men and all the other superhero movies are Not the same, Bryan Singer showed us a whole new world, Hugh Jackman's Wolverine and Ian McKellen's Magneto will be the most distinctive movie characters this year!" - ABC

"Although "X-Men" did not have a scary plot, but in terms of character creation, it is almost perfect! If James Cameron used the content of the trilogy to make Peter Parker become Roland Allen, then Bryan Singer let us see the real Wolverine in a movie time!" -CNN

"Don't say anything about the plot or the characters, I'll just say one thing! "X-Men" is definitely the most refreshing fighting movie since the appearance of superhero movies! It reminds me of John Rambo! Reminds me of T-800! Yes! You heard that right! X-Men is definitely a tough guy movie! The action is awesome!" - NBC

It is said that Marvel movies are popcorn, so what is the standard for measuring popcorn movies?

Cool!

That's the only measure of a popcorn movie!

When the audience walks into the theater and spends money, only to find out that the director has tricked himself into being a donkey and played a story three times. In this case, if that audience is you, would you feel good?

How can it be!

Especially at the end of the story, when the director even extravagantly included private goods, saying that the victory of the war was a charity from the U.S. military?

I can't wait to open the director's head on the spot!

It is precisely because the audience hates these rags, so when the straightforward "X-Men" appeared, the excitement that came with it was quite obvious, because—

People are fed up with Batman's flawed heroes!

People have seen Spider-Man carrying a human forward!

When Wolverine, who would rather die standing than live on his knees, appeared...

Emotions that have been suppressed for a long time are finally released!

"Hold the grass! This one is a superhero!"

Following the roar, the North American Theater Alliance also gave the most authentic feedback—

The first weekend of the painting, 65 million!

Note: ①The reason why Hugh Jackman maintains his figure day after day and year after year is because there is a figure agreement in his contract with Fox. Although it sounds ugly, his **** figure is indeed the root of his appeal to the audience. In the market research conducted by Fox after the release of the "X-Men" series, the audience's biggest feedback on Wolverine is handsome and sexy, so the capital makes Hugh Jackman travel less and less. In the original trilogy, he also wore team uniforms and jackets, but in the solo series, he took them off as he could, so that he was naked when the one-man show of "Days of Future Past" started. ②The news that Toyo Matsushige said that "The Lonely Gourmet" is his dark history came from the variety show of AbemaTV in Japan. Matsushige said in it that the production team including him didn't understand how the show became popular, and he couldn't accept it. He was just hungry one day in advance, and then because of the enjoyment shown by hunger, he became a good actor. synonymous with.

PS, watching "King Kong River" made me mad! ! !
