also said that he expects " The Wandering Earth 2" to surpass "Avatar 2". What
said immediately aroused dissatisfaction among many people.
Some people scolded him directly, some laughed at him and wanted to sell his feelings, some called it the funniest joke at the end of the year.
also said that they don't want to be represented.
Meng Yu doesn't want to be represented either, but he also doesn't want to stand in line blindly.
So, I quickly bought a ticket and went to the cinema to find out.
After all, as a "Yang Guo" man, he has more or less confidence. After reading
, I found out that Boss Yu was lying.
In "Avatar 2", there are no superheroes at all, it is a purely domestic movie.
except special effects.
01
I still remember the shock that the first part of "Avatar" brought us 13 years ago.
Countless people started exclaiming just after watching it twice, it turns out that the movie can be made like this!
This film has indeed brought about a technological revolution.
Since then, we have entered the era of 3D blockbusters.
Then 13 years later, what will "Avatar 2" look like?
Here's a spoiler first, I know, someone needs to know.
After the first part of the story is over, the "half-orc" Jack stays on the planet Pandora, and keeps having children with Princess Namei.
Meanwhile, the dead Dr. Grace had a child.
This kid is amazing, he always calls Eva on the phone.
The dead colonel also had a child.
This child has no magic power, just an ordinary, small human being.
is nicknamed Spider.
Where did these kids come from?
is not important, what is important is that they are all supported by Jack and his wife.
So, this should be a movie about family, about kids.
One day, Colonel Miles, the spider's father, came back again, and he also became an Avatar.
He came back not to seek relatives, but to seek revenge, chasing and killing Jack all over the world.
Jack didn't want the Forest Clan to be destroyed because of him, so he resigned and took the whole family to hide in the Southern Ocean Clan.
This kind of practice is a bit out of place, but it is all to bring out the theme - the way of water. In the first part of
, director Kashen demonstrated many new technologies and created many magnificent scenes.
Then for the second part, you have to come up with something genuine, so that the audience will buy it.
Therefore, he moved the main battlefield to the water.
Water scenes are not easy to shoot, but Kashen has experience because he has filmed "Titanic".
Jack's family lives a life of being dependent on others in the Ocean Clan.
Not only do they have to relearn underwater skills, they also have to change their mounts. The
was replaced by the air-air amphibious version alligator gar from the former air-air version of Icaran.
is really like alligator gar, if you add two wings.
Therefore, this thing that bites people at every turn is indeed an alien species.
is not from foreign countries, but from outer space.
The book returns to the main story.
The bear child of Jack's family and the bear child of the patriarch's family went through a series of love and killing, and then fought against foreign enemies side by side.
That’s right, this foreign enemy is Colonel Avatar.
of course justice will prevail in the endVictory over evil.
and influence evil.
02
This is the story structure of this movie, and it is also the root of the criticism. The content of
is old-fashioned and lackluster.
The previous one was about cutting down trees, and this one is about frying fish.
During the three hours, every step of the plot was within the expected, steady, without any discrepancies.
Is this what Boss Yu said is not suitable for Chinese audiences?
But then again, the form is greater than the content, isn't it a common problem of domestic blockbusters?
has been infected since "Heroes", and has not been cured so far.
Even the current box-office champion produced by Bona , just talk about the plot, isn’t everything predictable, everything is a routine?
It's just that most people don't want to comment because of the halo of the main theme.
Strictly speaking, the plot of "Avatar 2" is relatively flat, but it is not unbearable.
just sit there quietly and enjoy it quietly.
feels that you are going to be sleepy, and Kashen will immediately give you a visual explosion.
and peel off the colorful coat, this is actually an authentic domestic film, full of familiar elements everywhere.
first said the title of the film: "The Way of Water", which is a pure Chinese taste.
Lao Tzu said: The best kindness is like water, and water will benefit all things without contention.
Kazi said: Water connects everything in the world.
Xunzi said: Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.
Kazi said: The ocean gives everything and takes everything away.
Let’s talk about the story again:
avoids his enemies, leaves his hometown, hides his name, and finally he can’t bear it anymore and rises up to resist. Isn’t this the usual routine of Chinese martial arts movies?
also, father, mother, family, bear children, from beginning to end, throughout. Aren't these elements of
just popular among us nowadays?
There is also this behemoth, Tukun, which is completely born out of Chinese culture.
Zhuangzi said: There is a fish in the dark north, and its name is Kun. The Kun is so big that it cannot be stewed in a pot.
Kashen is truly reproduced.
So, "The Way of Water" is wrapped in Chinese elements from inside to outside.
Kashen also has a soft spot for China.
As early as the first part, the Hallelujah Mountain in it was inspired by the mountains in China.
Some people say it is Huangshan Mountain, while others say it is Wulingyuan.
What's ridiculous is that after "Avatar" became popular all over the world, these places fought for the source of inspiration for the card god.
In the second part, there are naturally more Chinese elements.
Actually, this is not the original "Avatar 2", the original version was written entirely for China.
It's a pity that he died halfway.
03
Kashen has an ideal in mind, to make "Avatar" into a series like "The Godfather", "Lord of the Rings" and "Star Wars".
He wants to build his own world concept on the big screen.
Around 2012, he took the script of "Avatar 2" that he had just finished and came to China to seek cooperation. The theme of
at that time was not water, but the sky and the universe, and Jack’s twin brother. Does
sound taller than a brat?
Kashen came to find cooperation with the Chinese stories he wrote, and even started to recruit Chinese-faced actors.
beat a girl Michelle Yeoh once appeared in the cast list.
It's a pity that in the end, Michelle Yeoh failed to become "Yang Lanqiong". As for the reason for
, there are many different versions in the market, but it is a pity.
Kashen came with hope, but left with disappointment.
The script of "Avatar 2" has been revised several times, and it has long been changed beyond recognition.
The version we see today is more like the result of a compromise.
Over the past ten years, everything has changed, including his investment company , which has faced various crises many times. The
coffee is as big as a card god, and it is difficult to stick to the original intention.
In addition, it also seems to be a transitional work. There are so many characters in
, especially those brats, they are not fully developed.
are probably leftovers for the third part.
Of course, if the third part still cannot be fully unfolded, it will be completely unfinished.
What's interesting is that ten years ago, Bona Pictures, the boss of Yu, was eager to join the team of "Avatar 2" and get a piece of the action.
As a result, he also failed to achieve his wish.
So more than ten years later, when Boss Yu said that "Avatar 2" was not suitable for Chinese audiences, many netizens with memories felt that he was narrow-minded.
The reason why people are disgusted with the words of the boss, excluding some loyal fans of Kashen, there are other reasons are the boss himself.
Over the years, Boss Yu has used the guise of the main theme to sell his feelings on a large scale, which has already caused a lot of anger.
Even, some people even used his lace story and nationality as an example.
Of course, these are all understandable things, and when special moments come, they will attract special attention.
even special interpretation.
04
Boss Yu said: "Avatar 2" is not suitable for Chinese audiences.
Obviously, he was lying.
But the problem is, the box office of this movie is still smashing.
Audiences vote with movie tickets, good is good, bad is bad.
This is of course true, but the reasons come from many aspects.
is first and foremost director Cameron himself.
This guy is very stubborn, he must persist in everything.
If the content carrying capacity is not enough, then cut it shorter, but he doesn't. When
was introduced into the country, after several negotiations, he just didn't cut it, just wanted to present the perfect idea in his heart.
This obsession, if you persist too much, it becomes conceited. The same example of
can also be seen in Jiang Wen and .
At first, Jiang Wen filmed " The Sun Also Rises", which confused everyone. He thought it was such a perfect story, but the audience couldn't understand it.
Later, he put down his body to shoot " Let the Bullets Fly ", which was so cool from the beginning to the end, and everyone inside and outside the theater was applauded.
Then, he filmed " One Step Away " and started to play mysterious things again. The result of
can be imagined.
This is the audience, I don't want you to think, I want me to think.
I don't think it's good, even if you don't watch it, it's useless if you blow it up to the sky.
Second, it's a matter of time. It has been 13 years since
made the first film. During this period, film technology has changed with each passing day, and audience expectations have also risen. What about the answer sheet given by
Kashen? It's an underwater shot.
This is indeed a technical activity, but the key is that ordinary audiences cannot feel it.
is nothing more than changing the scene.
Tell the director and actors about your difficulties, let us just look at them.
The immediate result is that the underwater scene is indeed beautiful, but compared to the shock of the first part, it is still much worse.
A little hope.
Another problem is the environmental problem, which can also be said to be a timing problem.
has to say that the current theater industry, a total depression.
Because of this, everyone generally regards "Avatar 2" as 's rescue work of .
But what about in reality? Please go to the cinema with Meng Yu.
This is the photo taken on the day of watching the movie, together with the previous one.
It was the weekend, and there were less than ten people in the huge theater.
Outside the movie hall, even the billboards were not made.
This weekend, one day is Christmas Eve and one day is Christmas. However, most of the shopping malls are sparsely populated.
is not the city where Meng Yu is located, Zhang Danfeng also saw a private room? Before
wrote this article, for the sake of accuracy, Meng Yu specifically watched several nearby shows in big cities through a certain platform. The attendance rate of
is basically below 30%, or even below 10%.
This is an awkward node.
Those who are yang lie at home, those who are not yang dare not go out, and those who are too yang also follow the mentality that more things are worse than less things, and if they can't go out, they don't go out.
Furthermore, after all these troubles, everyone's pockets and hearts are relatively empty, so how can they still have the mind to spend a lot of money to watch movies?
To put it bluntly, even if "The Wandering Earth 2", which Boss Yu has high hopes for, is released today, it may not be able to achieve a satisfactory box office.
Of course, these words are not meant to excuse anyone, nor are they aimed at anyone.
just wanted to say that everything is trudging through hardships, expecting flowers to bloom, and there will always be someone who braves the wind and snow.
Even if "Avatar 2" can't save the sluggish movie market, there must be other movies to save it.
Even if "Avatar 2" can't save the sluggish movie market, it doesn't mean that the audience doesn't want to watch it.
