This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 285 Your special effect is the same as a sticker

Quietly, the movie "Atlantic Rim" was released.

There was very little publicity for the film, strictly speaking, no publicity at all.

Originally, this kind of little promotional movie was released, and it was impossible for anyone to watch it, but some people still walked into the movie theater.

Among the people who walked into the cinema, some simply chose a movie to watch at random, and some simply because the name "Atlantic Rim" is somewhat similar to "Pacific Rim".

There is a psychological effect called the familiarity effect, which means that when the audience buys items, they will subconsciously choose products of brands they are familiar with.

This is why big companies often advertise.

Because these big companies need to maintain exposure at all times to let the audience remember them, maybe these audiences felt very speechless when they saw the advertisement at that time, thinking why it is this advertisement every day, is it annoying?

But in this annoying process, relevant impressions are established, and when they buy something, the audience will subconsciously buy the brand they have an impression of.

The same is true for watching movies. For the same two unfamiliar movies, one has a little impression and the other has never been heard of before, so the audience will choose to watch the movie with impression.

Xu Nan's movie "Atlantic Rim" has not been advertised at all, but "Pacific Rim" is often advertised. Seeing a similar name, many viewers who want to watch a movie subconsciously choose this one.

What is Pengci, this is called Pengci, even your advertisements are called Pengci.

There are also some people with a unique vision. After watching "The Age of the Hobbit", they feel that it suits their appetite. They are very strange fans of Xu Nan and become Xu Nan's fans.

They heard that Xu Nan's movie was released, so they went to watch it.

Of course, there are very few people with this unique taste. Most of the people who watch movies just want to watch movies. After watching the movie "Atlantic Rim", they have a little impression, so they chose this movie to watch.

Benjamin also came to the theater to watch the movie.

"Atlantic Rim" is about to be released, he actually has a lot of things to do, but in his busy schedule, he still took some time to watch this movie.

He didn't know why he had to watch this movie. He had heard from a familiar theater friend that this movie was very bad, bottomless, but he still couldn't hold back when the movie was released, so he bought it specially. A ticket to see it in the cinema.

Maybe this is love?

There are not many people in the theater, and the attendance rate is relatively low.

But Benjamin knew that this was the attendance rate of a normal movie.

In fact, except for a small number of large-scale production movies, there are also special holidays. In most cases, there are not many people watching movies.

This attendance rate is definitely not acceptable for the movie "Pacific Rim", but it should be no problem if it is replaced with "Atlantic Rim".

The lights of the theater dimmed suddenly, and Benjamin cheered up, knowing that the movie was about to start.

The screen lit up, and the logo of Nanhai Film and Television appeared.

Benjamin had already adjusted his state to enjoy the movie, but a word from the person next to him suddenly made him unable to hold back.

"Strange, did Warner change the logo?"

Benjamin turned his head to look, and found that it was a middle-aged white man with a hint of doubt on his expression.

Obviously, this guy mistook the movie and mistook this copycat film for "Pacific Rim" shot by Warner, otherwise he wouldn't have this expression.

There are really a lot of fools like this in the United States. Many people have no brains at all, and all kinds of anti-intellectualism are rampant.

Benjamin originally wanted to explain, but after thinking about it, forget it.

There's no need to explain to a fool, the more you explain, the more he doesn't understand, let's watch a movie.

The movie continued, and the background of the movie began to be explained on the screen.

In 2013, due to unfavorable human environmental protection, monsters appeared in the ocean and frequently attacked humans.

In order to prevent the destruction caused by monsters, the military specially researched and developed powerful mechas and built a mecha team to fight against monsters and protect human beings.

With a fairly standard beginning, there is nothing to say about the background of the times. Whether the movie is good or not, actually has nothing to do with the background of the times.

If your quality is good, the background of the era is the shining point. If the quality is poor, no matter how good the background setting of the movie is, it is useless.

But Benjamin couldn't help frowning.

In the plot at the beginning of this movie, there are several shots showing monsters and mechas. This is because the movie needs to explain the background of the times and let the audience have a certain understanding of this background.

Undoubtedly, mechs and monsters cannot be filmed in real life, and special effects must be used to make them, because there are no such things as mechs and monsters in reality.

Benjamin knew that this was a copycat movie, and he also knew that the cost of this movie was very low, and the special effects were very cheap.

But when he first saw such rubbish special effects, he was still stunned.

This is too eye-catching.

Movie special effects have been developed for so many years. As long as the company has money, there is no problem at all in making special effects that are the same as reality.

That's what Benjamin did. After spending tens of millions of dollars, ILM formed a team of hundreds of people to produce special effects frame by frame, which satisfied him.

but your special effects
Are you sure this is a special effect and not a texture? ? ?
What's the difference between this and those head-changing ghosts on YouTube?
At least the head-changing ghost animal still worked hard to find a picture that fit the original picture, but the mechs and monsters in this movie are not suitable for the naked eye, and they are even more ghostly than the ghost animal video.

This is a movie, a high-end movie, you made this special effect.

Benjamin was almost discouraged, and Sanguan was hit hard.

He can use his reputation to guarantee that the special effects of this movie are the worst one he has ever seen in his life.

It's not even as good as old movies from decades ago.

No, it's not an effect, it's a texture.

If this is also a special effect, where are the textures placed?
"Walter?"

"Fake?"

"Oh, God."

Exclamations came from everywhere in the theater, obviously they were all shocked by the shocking special effects.

Benjamin took a special look at the middle-aged white man who mistook the movie, and found that his mouth was wide open, his face full of disbelief, as shocked as seeing a mouse catching a cat.

Fortunately, this special effect screen only lasts for tens of seconds, and it will disappear soon.

Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief.

This director is quite sensible, if this special effect continues, God will not be able to support it, and all the people in the theater will leave.

After the film explained the background of the times, the official plot began, and the scene of the protagonist's three-person team training at the training base appeared.

Looking at this training base, Benjamin was silent.

Are you sure this is a training ground and not a school playground?
This is obviously a school playground. The layout and environment can tell whether it is a school playground.

No, does this director from Huaxia know how to make movies?

Movies pay attention to a sense of substitution. The purpose of every shot, every picture, and even every line is to immerse the audience and make them believe that this story really happened.

The movie itself is fictitious, but the director cannot remind the audience of this. A good director must make the audience forget everything in the shortest possible time. The mood follows the fate and ups and downs of the characters in the movie. Only in this way can the movie be successful.

This is what he did in "Pacific Rim". From the construction of the movie background, to the acting skills of the characters, to the lines of the characters, and the special effects inside, every link is to let the audience into the play.

Because only when the audience is involved in the movie, they will think the movie is good.

But what about this movie, the bright school playground, are you afraid that others will not know that you rented a school to film?
How do you get the audience into the show?

If they don't get involved in the movie, they will only think that the interaction between the characters in the movie is like a child's play, and they will not be involved at all, let alone think the movie is good.

The training of the protagonist trio is also very fake, running push-ups plus long jump, which has nothing to do with driving a mech.

The plot of the movie quickly progressed to the monster attack.

The second time I saw the special effects that were no different from the stickers, Benjamin's mood was only fucking.

But it's the Ministry of Defense that fucks him up even more.

The Ministry of National Defense in normal movies is a large group of precision instruments, with serious officers and soldiers sitting inside, creating a tense atmosphere.

But what the hell is your Ministry of National Defense? It is obvious that the classroom has been remodeled well. There is no precision instrument, and the only prop is a table full of messy documents.

With this kind of arrangement, how do you make the audience believe that this is the Ministry of National Defense.

Well, it's actually quite normal. If the training base is a school playground, it makes sense that the Ministry of Defense is a classroom.

What a ghost.

Classroom as a mod, are you kidding me?

I don’t know what the director was thinking when he was filming. It’s not enough to find a slightly better room. If you can’t afford the precision equipment, you can rent it. If you can’t afford it, you can also set up two computers.

What people want to complain about most is the actors who play the Ministry of National Defense. They are all middle-aged uncles. They are very obese, and the fat visible to the naked eye overflows from their clothes.

No, how could such an actor convince the audience that he is a soldier.

How could these fat people embody the temperament that soldiers should have?
Also, what about military uniforms?Don't people in the Ministry of Defense wear military uniforms?
Benjamin almost doubted life.

Watching a group of fat uncles arguing about how to annihilate the monsters makes people feel disillusioned.

Is it for irony?
Americans are notoriously fat, and the obesity rate ranks first in developed countries.

Take a look around the streets, and you can see that there are fat people everywhere, including those public officials, police officers and civil servants, etc. The proportion of fat people is also very high.

So the director deliberately arranged a group of fat people to play high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Defense. It must be to satirize the phenomenon that the streets are full of fat people.

Well, that must be the case, there is no other explanation.

Otherwise, Benjamin couldn't figure out why the director would find such an actor to play a soldier of the Ministry of Defense.

It's so outrageous, it's definitely for irony.
