Why did James Cameron miss consecutively in "Alita" and "Terminator: Dark Fate"?
James Cameron can be said to be the biggest guarantee at the box office. He directed two of the top three movies in the box office. This kind of performance is unprecedented, so every one of his movies comes out. The former is anxiously awaited by many fans.
However, Cameron has missed consecutively. First of all, "Alita: Battle Angel", the box office score hit the street in North America, in China, it is only 900 million yuan, which is far from the other works of Kashen. . However, the next "Terminator: Dark Fate" has a worse box office, which still sells part of the feelings, otherwise there will be fewer people watching it and the box office will be even worse.
To tell the truth, the two films themselves, if they weren't the works of Kashen, can be said to be good movies, because they are the works of Kashen, people will unconsciously raise their requirements. The movie is good, why would it hit the street? The author believes that the innovation is not enough, and it does not bring the freshness that fans want to see. In the past, Kashen's works can bring different experiences to people! Moreover, the subject of Terminator is too old to fit the direction of modern people's viewing of movies. The story of
"Alita: Battle Angel" comes from the Japanese manga "Gunmen". Although Kashen personally acted as the screenwriter to make drastic adaptations, no matter how it is changed, it is still a new bottle of old wine. People's enthusiasm cannot be mentioned. Fans even refuse to watch. In the final analysis, they lack new ideas. All the new ideas are used in character design. But people first need to watch the plot, and secondly focus on special effects. Alita failed in the plot. Didn’t Kashen know that a cartoon with no creativity and no novelty is likely to hit the street at the box office?
"Terminator: Dark Fate" is a sequel movie, no matter how the subject matter is filmed, it will fall into the stereotypes, and Terminator 2 is already a masterpiece, it is completely impossible to be surpassed, under the aura of Terminator 2. , No matter how hard you try, the sequel can only be an overshadowed ending, and can only struggle in the shadow of Terminator 2. "Terminator: Dark Fate" is praised only by the feelings, Linda Hamilton and Schwarzenegger joined forces again, evoked people full of memories, this feeling is the only selling point of the film. The plot and stunts do not make people feel so bright, it is really a necessity to hit the street. Then, doesn't Kashen know that the God of Destiny cannot transcend Judgment Day? He should know better than anyone else.
In fact, James Cameron knows very well that these two films cannot make waves in the film market. He insists on shooting because he likes the character in the anime Alita, so he wants to shoot and put his favorite character on the screen. . He has a deep feeling for the Terminator. It was the Terminator who made him the world’s top director. In the past few years, the Terminator sequel has been filmed in a mess. He wants to give the Terminator a more reasonable ending and let the door open by himself. close. Knowing that he is not destined to become a classic, he just participated in the screenwriting and production, and did not personally direct, so that he would not fail more miserably (such a product is a success for others, and it is for Kashen. It really failed), his work is actually focused on the "Avatar" sequel.
Actually, no matter how you say it, the myth of the God of Card is actually over. Even if the sequel to the "Avatar" he personally directed is released, he won't make any more myth. "Now, Chinese fans are giving him a chance." With age, the creativity of Kashen has almost disappeared, innovative thinking has also been solidified, and all its talents have been lost in those classic productions. Therefore, it is better to expect a new card god to appear in the world if it is expected that Kashen will continue to dedicate classic movie fans.
