Compared with Marvel’s triumphant triumph, DC’s two years of success are indeed desolation, and also hurt the heart of a wave of iron powder
“Batman vs. Superman” has a bad reputation. “X Task Force” and “Justice League” have gained a wave of bad reviews. The “Wonder Woman” that has no intention of inserting it has become a boutique of DC in the past two years. The work. The reason why this will lead to such a result is also because DC sees the Marvel universe has been formed, but also wants to make a DC universe in a hurry. However, the human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant. Excessive advancing, no uniform style plus multiple questions such as directors and scripts. Let this idea eventually go bankrupt
DC, who has experienced many lessons, has finally recognized the reality and wants to use the “Sea King” as a new starting point to test the water and build the next DC Super British movie
A week before the release of North America, “Sea King” in China with a strong box office and word of mouth proved that this move of DC did not go wrong. “Sea King” refreshed DC’s highest super-English film record in China in less than four days China’s box office is expected to reach 1.8 billion yuan. Only the box office in China can recover 160 million in production costs
It is unceremonious to say that “Neptune” is the turning-around of DC Super British movies, and it also indicates a new starting point for DC
DC’s super-English movies are often presented as “Zach Schneider”-style aesthetics and soft, dark styles, and the Nolan Great God’s Batman series of movies, including the dark, mournful style
But actually, Most viewers watch super-English movies, not the depth of pursuit, but in fact, the three words are “good-looking, cool.”
So, you can see that Marvel’s super-English movies are basically based on this. It’s easy, enjoyable, and more visual. Every part has a beautiful effect. The audience watched the hearty and bloody
On this basis, add some jokes, active film atmosphere, so that the audience will not always play chicken blood, so the audience will be very hard to see. For example, “Galaxy Guard” and “Ant Man” are all successful representatives. Of course, if you have the level of Nolan, and on the basis of a good movie story and satisfying the visual enjoyment of the audience, it will add some depth, which is of course an icing on the cake
And DC’s “Justice League” also realized this and desperately wanted to laugh at the audience. But the main tone of the film is dark, and the psychological expectation caused by such a keynote makes the jokes of the later snoring become awkward: I know that you want to make me laugh, but I can’t laugh. Because the atmosphere is wrong, the psychological preparation is wrong. The “Justice League” does not deal well with the character of the character. In the “Justice League”, almost all the burdens are responsible for the Flash, and even more tragic is the burden of numerous small flashes, in the league. No one answered at all! So Xiaoxun had to keep talking, swearing, hilarious In the early stage of DC processing, Batman, Superman, etc. are all serious character characters. The stalk thrown by the Flash, and then destroyed the character of the character, causing the split, not connected and cold, so it is not awkward
“Justice League” can be said to be an extremely failed attempt to draw a tiger
And “Sea King” does not have such troubles. Under the treatment of Wen Ziren, Neptune can say that the degree of completion is very good. The character itself has no sense of existence in the DC universe, and even often is ridiculed. Wen Ziren has let him It became popular
The story of the film is also very simple. The Queen of Atlantis fled the marriage and fell in love with the lighthouse to protect the life of the sea king. Atlantis sent people to chase the queen. In order to protect her husband and son, she was forced to return to Yate. Landis concluded a political marriage and gave birth to his son Aum. When Omm grew up, he was full of hatred for terrestrial humans, and began to use the scheme to annex the forces of the developing countries in the seabed, and to eliminate the land people. The Princess of the Sea Kingdom, Zebel, intends to stop this war. She went back to Arthur to return to Arthur as the eldest son, and returned to Atlantis to fight back for the throne, and Jura would help Arthur find back to rule. The lost trident of the sea
The whole movie is actually a story about finding a trident, a bit like a game, coming to various map levels, completing any tips, and finally winning the characters. The whole movie is very compact and the plot is very smooth
And the sea king in the sea king movie is full of strong male hormones all the time, but tells the cold jokes that no one wants to get. He often forgot to take a bath and made himself a smelly rotten shrimp. He is selfish, but he is willing to reveal his heart in front of everyone. The burly body and the humorous character have a strong contrast, and the serious side of the squat plays a good role in the holding. The role of Mela is also very well-shaped, bold and assertive. The view is full of judgment. The combination of these two makes the overall atmosphere not cold, so the overall viewing is very easy and enjoyable
After watching the movie, I can’t help but sighing, whether it is Marvel or DC, the super-English movie has not been so long, and the parents are both full and the teacher is a healthy superhero. Besides the fisherman’s king is the biggest tragedy, even the villain Both glowed the second spring. Very suitable for the Spring Festival, the family is neat and round
Director Wen Ziren also presented the entire huge, fantasy and magnificent underwater world in front of us. The magnificent and magnificent sea and the fear of the deep sea were played by Wen Ziren, and the use of the lens language was full of entertainment. And visual, the use of Wen’s aesthetics to the extreme
The trip of the Haigou people is under the red firefly stick, and the beauty of suffocation is brought to the extreme. On a stormy night, thunder and lightning, and the fierce gangsters of the seas, you felt that there were only a few at first, but they did not expect them to flock. When Neptune and you are jumping into the sea with a firefly stick, the water is compact like a tight string. The soundtrack is switched to death and silence. It is like a heavy punch. The power is weakened, but you can still feel depressed and nervous. Thrilling, mysterious and full of unknowns. This is a beauty that is caught in the throat by dense and deep seas. You will be deeply impressed by the movie scrolls that Wen Ziren outlined
Directed “Speed and Passion” and many classic horror film guides are very good at making ignition, controlling the rhythm and creating an atmosphere. For the action control design, there is his unique understanding and imagination. At the beginning, when the Queen came to war to arrest her soldiers, Wen Ziren used a long shot. This long lens twirling, in one go, especially the up and down, the left and right visual lens, so that the audience did not feel uncomfortable, but it seems to be fluent, the audience’s visual perception to the extreme, so that everyone can start from the beginning Quickly immerse yourself in the movie for ultimate visual enjoyment. The long shot of the later Sicilian chase was to reinforce this visual experience. Thoroughly attract your attention and make you “cool” to heaven
This kind of expression technique is rare in superhero movies in recent years. On the contrary, it is often used in horror movies, because horror movies require viewers to immerse themselves in the first time, follow the rhythm of the movie, and let the audience immerse in the clock all the time. If you are in danger, you can’t stop.Whether it was the later King of the Seas and Omm, or the later that the Haigou people attacked the Sea King, the Sea King passed the control of the Haigou nationality, and Wen Ziren’s control of the fighting rhythm brought the audience’s kidney hormones to the top, and the 湄The car rescued the sea king and the waves came to the sea king to drive away from the section, there is a sense of speed and passion
The last seven-sea battle, Wen Ziren’s treatment is very exciting, huge and not messy, smooth and compact, which highlights the characteristics of each side. It perfectly shows the ability of Wen Ziren to dispatch the lens
“Hai Wang” This movie can be said to be magical in the hands of Wen Ziren, the action drama is burning, hearty, magnificent imagination, grand picture, scheduling orderly rhythm, and interspersed with humor It also relieved the high tension of the audience and the atmosphere. It can be said that DC is the best quality work in recent years
Of course, this work also has some places that have been criticized. For example, the comics have changed a lot, and the plot and character are slightly out of the original. For example, the ending of the Queen and Neptune’s father, the role of the Trident, and so on. Of course, how to treat these things is a matter of opinion
In summary, “Neptune” has opened a new starting point for DC, and established the style of the later works, which is of vital significance to DC super-English movies in the future. Whether DC can continue this will depend on 2019. The performance of “Shazan” and “Flash” and “Steel Bone”
I hope that DC can use this momentum to unify the DC style, sort out the timeline, organize the story, and gradually build a mature DC universe
