Dark-style commercial film-DC's Batman series
Shanxi director Feng Gang is trapped in the dark-style faction of "burning money to please" in the international film and television culture. As for the development of global film and television culture, the dark style is only a style faction in the tide of film and television culture. Of course, the detailed narrative is not so much a style, but also a film technique, which is similar to the "nonsensical" familiar to domestic audiences. , "Absurd comedy", "Oriental aesthetic style" and other techniques. The dark style is actually mainly based on the "full realistic" or "surreal" style. The overall style and the plot should not only deeply reflect the glorious side of human nature, but also the cold and dark side of human nature. In-depth study, the whole range of human nature is completely and realistically dissected. In the portrayal of the whole play, the definition of good and bad is no longer so simple and deliberate, but a complete presentation of "good and bad" in front of the screen. A more difficult film and television style method for the audience to judge good and evil. Because the so-called "fault tolerance rate" of this method is very low, many directors do not specialize in this style because it is too difficult. This "difficulty" is not only in the field of film and television professional, but even more difficult is the cost of explaining the style, especially the domestic literary and artistic creator Fengmao Water chestnut who explained the so-called "dark style" to the capital. It can be said that it is completely playing the piano. .
A clown with an overwhelming reputation, the typical dark wind narrative technique
Of course, in order to interpret the so-called "dark style" faction more clearly, we ordinary fans can see it from a popular sentence among international fans --- "Boy Watch Man" Well, men look at DC." What does mean? This is the difference between a realistic science fiction drama and a realistic dark style science fiction drama. Fans know that Marvel’s largest film and television IP is "Avengers", which has shaped world-famous superstars such as "Iron Man", "Thor", "Black Widow", "Captain America", "Hulk" and so on. Image, and these super character images have a strong commercial gimmick, and the entire series has swept the world's tens of billions of box offices. What many viewers do not know is that these characters are highly imitated DC comics. DC takes a completely different path from Marvel. Between "art and commerce", DC is more art and Marvel is more commerce. Of course, both are related to each other, but it's just a matter of proportion. Under DC where "art" is the first dominance, it has created superheroes such as "Superman", "Batman", "Aquaman" and "Joker" with the dark style as the main technique. In the comparison of the scores of the most authoritative international film review organization IMDB, DC’s film and television dramas "Superman", "Batman" and "Joker" are all on the list, while Marvel is very pitiful. not even one. Of course, this is not to deny Marvel, but DC's artistic requirements are higher, but DC has too much to learn from Marvel in terms of commercial operations.
Batman The Dark Knight, the dark wind is full of
After giving an example, we must return to the development of this type of film and television style in our country. What is our current situation? The answer is very pessimistic. It can be said that film and television creators with such styles are extremely scarce. After all, there are very few creators of full-realistic dramas, and the dark styles that can be achieved on this basis are even rarer. What is even more difficult is that the few domestic film and television creators who specialize in such techniques have an extremely difficult career in film and television. Feng Gang is a very typical first.
The path of domestic film and television creators in the dark style department is very difficult, and it is difficult to obtain decent investment.
Feng Gang, as a domestic director and screenwriter, is on the rise, whether he is studying abroad or domestically, he is "full realism" and " The "Dark Style Department" is the domain of his personal studies. After he has been fully involved in the domestic film and television environment, he has also cooperated with many film and television dramas, but the cooperation experience is not pleasant. First of all, traditional film and television drama themes and "nonsensical" When the technique prevails, this kind of surrealist technique will seem out of place. In Feng Gang’s experience, it’s like, “They all said it was good on the surface, maybe they didn’t understand it at all. The content was deleted and restructured, and in the end I always used you only because you are more cost-effective."
The first domestic sci-fi and zombie-themed film and television drama, the investment is only one million. "Change" has always been a topic of eternal debate. Among the many literary creatorsIn the tide, many successful cases can be cited after "persistence", and many successful cases after "change" can be found. For a single person, there is nothing right or wrong. But in terms of talent training in a country, they are two completely different concepts. Because culture is not diversified and art is not diversified, then everything will be rigid, lacking in new ideas, without the courage to innovate and follow up, so how pale is the struggle in real life?
Finally, I wish every young man struggling on the road of film and television will have the courage and strength to continue to pursue their dreams. What about broken dreams? At least you have studied and worked hard for it, constantly changing and constantly changing, are you still you?
