When it comes to dinosaur movies, the first thing that everyone thinks of is Hollywood's "Jurassic" series.
From the "Jurassic Park" trilogy in the 90s to the "Jurassic World" series in the new century, although the number of films in the whole "Jurassic" is not very large, every movie comes out, it will always set off a dinosaur boom around the world.
The latest work in this series, "Jurassic World 3: Domination", has recently been released in China, which has attracted the attention of many audiences and even filmmakers.
In fact, before the appearance of this Hollywood dinosaur, there was already a T-Rex in China, and here is a domestic film called "Resurrection Jurassic".
As you can see at a glance, this is a film launched to ride the dinosaur boom, in fact, the commercial operation of rubbing heat is very normal and completely understandable.
But the reason why many viewers resent this behavior is because the reason why the producer rubs the heat is just to "make quick money", in other words, to attract the audience to pay with gimmicks.
As for the quality of the work itself, it does not care at all, all kinds of shoddy fabrication, let people feel uncomfortable when they see it.
The same is true of This Resurrection Jurassic.
At the beginning of the film, the Tyrannosaurus Rex came out to sweep the army, and there was a saying that the special effects seemed to be good, and it was quite exciting, which immediately aroused the interest of some viewers.
However, this is actually a trap, just like the cover of a book is very colorful, it is easy to attract people to watch, but a good cover does not mean that the content of the book is good.
"Resurrection of Jurassic" is basically a mixture of elements of Hollywood's "monster universe", such as the protagonist group is going to an isolated island full of various prehistoric giant creatures, called Ghost Island.
This is obviously a parody of the King Kong movie, but the name of Skull Island has been changed.
Then, after the protagonist group arrives on the island, they encounter various prehistoric monsters in the primeval jungle, which is the same as "Kong: Skull Island", the difference is only the size of the body, the skeleton island is a giant spider, the ghost island here is a small spider, but it can also be fatal.
By the middle of the film, the little boss finally came out, it was a giant snake, and then the film was revealed.
Before the so-called "special effects are good" at the beginning of the film, let some viewers think that even if the script is bad, the plot imitates other movies, and it is always okay to see the special effects, right?
But this is the trap mentioned above, the funds are basically used to do the first special effects scene, plus the scene is night, so it looks like it feels OK.
The scene where the big snake appeared was daytime, so the special effects of the game came out.
To put it bluntly, it is to look fake, it is too fake.
Not only are the special effects fake, but even the various behaviors of the characters and even the monsters in the play are unbearable.
The great snake chased the protagonist group to a plain, symbolically attacked for a while, and then it did not move there, allowing the protagonist group to attack with various machine guns, rifles, and bombs, and it was also there motionless.
Then the male and female protagonists still have time to chat leisurely on the side.
The title of the film is called "Resurrection jurassic", the protagonist monster is naturally a Tyrannosaurus rex, so the Tyrannosaurus rex quickly ran out to "save the car".
Originally thought that the Tyrannosaurus Rex would have a fierce battle with the big snake, in fact, the audience did not want to be as realistic as the monster universe, after all, people have a lot of experience in this area, and the financial aspect is also a problem.
But at least let everyone see a serious attitude, right?
Unfortunately, two words stand out in the film.
Perfunctory.
One face, the big snake was directly dropped by the Tyrannosaurus rex, and then bitten into two pieces, ending.
At this time, most viewers only want to say two words.
That's it? Isn't it generally right that there should be a climactic scene in the middle of a movie?
The special effects are like the game 30 years ago, not to mention, the design is also so crotch, it really makes people want to exaggerate can not find a point.
Seeing this, the basics of the back can be directly ignored, do not carry the mentality of "maybe there is something to watch at the end of the movie", because the rest of the film, the meaning of their existence is only to waste the audience's time.
Is the velociraptor attacking the protagonist group exciting? No, don't say anything about special effects, there are all kinds of large sections of sensationalism here, but because all the characters in the film are tools that have not been shaped, they are embarrassed to see it.
Then the protagonist group came to the "Dinosaur Paradise", the heroine found her father who had been missing for decades, and by the way, she also watched a "T-Rex PK Battle".
Two Tyrannosaurus rex with terrible special effects went head-to-head, and then one of them was easily bitten to death, the process did not take more than 2 minutes.
The fallen Tyrannosaurus Rex shed 5 cents of plasma, oh no, this plasma is only worth 3 cents.
The most interesting thing is that the Tyrannosaurus Rex in the movie often imitates the Tyrannosaurus Rex in the "Jurassic" series, that is, all kinds of long roars.
However, under this special effect, there is no momentum, and some are just embarrassing feelings that make people laugh.
In fact, as mentioned earlier, rubbing heat is not shameful, even a very normal business operation.
Not to mention domestic, even if it is abroad, there are many similar operations.
Your Fast and Furious is very popular, right? So let's do a Speed vs. Guild Wars.
Pacific Rim is a hit, right? Then come to a Rim of the Atlantic.
RoboCop is cool and dazzling? It's okay, let's have a RoboCop.
Others include Jason Statham and Li Bingbing's "Megalodon", Dwayne Johnson's "Doomsday Collapse", etc., as long as there is a little heat, it is indispensable to the fate of being copied.
Even, not only the general film dealers want to copy, even some businesses that specialize in making sports films will not let go of the behavior of rubbing heat.
What "Iron Man", "Avengers" and the like, is usually adapted into a variety of sports blockbusters.
Therefore, there is really no need to blame too much for this kind of behavior, people all over the world are doing this, and foreign countries are not much better than domestic ones.
The reason why everyone is so disgusted with the behavior of "rubbing heat" is mainly the attitude problem mentioned above.
The capitalists who rub the heat only want to make quick money, take all kinds of shoddy works out to fool the audience, and think of using the smallest cost to squeeze the maximum value.
To put it bluntly, it is a movie-watching deception, first release the good, let the audience think that this film can still be seen, and then know that they were deceived.
Can't they do it well? Judging from the movie "Resurrection of Jurassic", the scene design and special effects at the beginning are actually above the passing line standard, if the next quality is still this, then this movie can at least be seen in terms of martial arts.
But unfortunately, the producers will not be willing to exchange 10 for 20 returns, they just want to rub the heat, so that they can use 2 to exchange for 15 returns.
You can do it well, but you can't do it well, which is the first reason why everyone is disgusted with this kind of film.
In fact, the support of domestic children's shoes for domestic films is very high, and if nothing else, in the domestic film history box office list, only "Reunion 4" and "Fast and Furious 8" are two foreign films in the top 20, and the others are all domestic films.
Therefore, as long as the film is made seriously and the attitude is correct, even if it is not as good as some of the top hollywood blockbusters for the time being because of technology and other reasons, the audience will still support the film of the family.
However, if it is only a gimmick, only rubbing heat, only a glamorous appearance of the film, it is embarrassing, the criticism should still be criticized.
Because the development of the film and television industry has never relied on these films and producers.
It is undeniable that due to the rapid development of the domestic film and television industry market, its volume has been very large, and now it is the second in the world, and it is visible to the naked eye, and it is likely to surpass North America to become the world's first in the future.
This has also made many capitalists have the idea of making a profit in the market, or two, or even three or four dollars.
However, judging from the situation that various cottages and movies that rub the heat repeatedly hit the street, the audience now is not as good as the old times.
After all, the development of the information age has broadened the vision of modern people a lot, thanks to the Network, the audience's vision is getting better and better, and the standards for works are getting higher and higher.
"We can accept that your work (movies, TV series) is imperfect or needs to be perfected, but we can't accept your perfunctory attitude of thinking of using the audience as an ATM machine and thinking of making quick money." 」
Of course, all this is the experience that must be encountered in the development of film and television, and it can only be said that I hope that domestic movies, TV series, etc. can really bloom their own brilliance in the future.
