Two Hundred and Sixty-Two - The Hero Who Does Not Kill Is Here

There is no doubt that the theme of the film is dark and serious. Since there is no way to use more large-scale shots, Wayne can only work more on this aspect.

By using the lighting deliberately created during shooting, the stage effect of the character's outline light, and the dark and heavy story core, we strive to create the so-called operatic style.

Even though everyone knows that this is a comic book character, Wayne also tried his best to give Bruce Wayne an emotional transformation that is close to reality, so that movie fans watching the movie can feel that Batman, in addition to being rich, actually has the same confusion and pain as you and me. Fear, in spirit he is also a physical mortal.

This can ensure that although Bruce Wayne has powerful power, he can also pull the character into reality from a spiritual level, unlike the superheroes in comics, who are all gods and out of reach. ,Gifted.

In fact, if you think about it, humans, complex creatures, absolutely don’t like to be friends with people who completely crush them in every aspect, nor do they want to be friends with perfect people.

Wayne's Batman is a superhero with outstanding shortcomings and advantages. He possesses unparalleled strength, is proficient in all fighting arts in the world, and wears high-tech equipment.

But they will still encounter setbacks like ordinary people, with fear and confusion hidden in their hearts, and they still need to go through setbacks to find themselves.

In fact, this can be referred to "Joker", which caused a huge social sensation and strongly incited the public movie fans. A person at the bottom of society is gradually deteriorating under the pressure of those around him. Wayne wants to convince movie fans after watching it, and even wants them to believe that the linkage between characters in these two films is definitely not a coincidence.

First of all, we must affirm the success of the character setting. For example, we can think of the clown Arthur from the movie. He is an imperfect person and even fails in some aspects. Through continuous self-growth, he can become a successful person in the final counterattack. This is what most viewers want to see.

Countless Hollywood films in the past told him that this kind of naturally imperfect protagonist is at least the first step to becoming an excellent work.

Even if Clark Kent is to be filmed in two years, Wayne will take this true god off the altar, find him a flaw that the audience can accept, and let Chao transform into the Man of Steel through self-growth.

"Batman Begins" is the beginning of an entire series. As long as it achieves the desired results and proves that current movie fans can accept the dark and serious story structure, Wayne will follow this tone throughout the entire DC universe.

Most of the post-production work on this film revolves around editing and splicing. He and Dwayne Scott made careful preparations as early as midway through the filming.

"I heard that the best editing work is to prevent the audience from detecting the traces of editing. Is this true?"

Just after lunch time, in the post-production studio of Warner Bros. Studios, Naomi Watts came to visit the class with a few cups of coffee, and while giving them to a few people who were taking a break, she looked around curiously.

Dawn Scott, who looked tired, took the coffee and shrugged. As a senior editor in the industry, he obviously has more say on this topic.

“Thank you, the coffee is great!”

He stuck out his tongue and licked the foam around his mouth, and explained to Naomi Watts with a smile: "It also depends on the type of film, or the requirements of the director or producer. But overall, it makes people feel The fact that no traces of editing can be found is a misunderstanding.”

This kind of theoretical thing, Dawn Scott saw that this beautiful woman was interested in it, so she thought about it and tried to explain it in plain language.

"In fact, we shouldn't say that the traces of editing are invisible to the audience. In other words, it should be said that good editing allows ordinary audiences to avoid obstacles in accepting information. Of course, this is only applicable to large-scale commercial productions. After all, After so many years of development, movies have developed into many aesthetic categories.”

Naomi Watts sat next to Wayne, staring at Dawn Scott with big beautiful eyes. This was the first time she had heard of this kind of thing. In her impression, the film editing was a kind of The work of mystery.

"I understand." The Australian girl looked at the editor like a primary school student looking at his teacher. "Just like those art-house films that are noisy, they are not edited for this purpose. They always want to arrange the story in twists and turns, so that the audience has to watch it many times to understand."

When Dawn Scott heard her words, she suddenly laughed, nodded slightly, and said: "This statement is not wrong. I am not good at the post-production of literary films. Everything I said is also true. It is based on post-production editing of commercial films.

As a commercial film with a large investment, the first purpose must be to target the public. Even if it is a film full of artistic attributes like Wayne's, the first principle of editing is still to maintain smoothness and try to let as many people as possible understand the director. Tell stories.

Therefore, when it comes to editing commercial films, the purpose is not to prevent the audience from detecting the traces of editing, but to allow them to receive the information of the film without any obstacles, rather than deliberately making things mysterious or showing off their skills. Of course, this method only applies to commercial films. . "

"Pah, pah."

The Australian beauty looked admiring the technology and slapped Dawn Scott.

Wayne ignored her chat with the editor, but looked at the Los Angeles Times with gusto.

Time has gradually entered January, and the Thirty Years trailer of "Batman Begins" was submitted to Warner Bros. via Tim Burton yesterday. This very hot trailer will appear at the end of the month. ’s Super Bowl halftime commercial.

Although he plunged into the editing room and did not understand other publicity plans except the Super Bowl, he could still make some progress from this "Los Angeles Times". Warner Bros. has begun a large-scale publicity and promotion.

"The movie once triggered a horrific massacre in a movie theater. At that time, film director Wayne Greenberg said that movie theaters were his home and he was very heartbroken by the occurrence of such a tragedy.

Two years later, Wayne Greenberg brought another comic book character, this time it was Bruce Wayne who adhered to the "don't kill" character. His original intention of creating this superhero was to commemorate the victims and tell the public that extreme killing to vent is not a good solution to the problem..."

"How is it?" Naomi Watts suddenly turned her head, interrupting his idea of ​​continuing to read. "Isn't your cow lover's soft article good?"

Hearing her teasing, Wayne glanced at the author column subconsciously, and it turned out to be editor-in-chief Bella Grant.

"I'm curious, when did you receive a visit from her after work? Otherwise, how could this cow be so realistically written?"

"Nami!"

Wayne frowned slightly and sighed helplessly.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to change, Zack Snyder and Dawn Scott looked at each other, stood up in unison, turned around and continued working.

After taking a long sip of coffee, Wayne stretched out his finger and tapped the newspaper lightly and said, "This is just a promotional tool. It doesn't matter whether I accepted the interview or not. The reason why Warner Brothers did this is just to It’s just about reviving movie fans’ memories of “Joker.”

This kind of publicity method that does not cost a lot of money but can achieve very good results will definitely not be missed by Warner Brothers.

The purpose is to awaken the memories in the hearts of fans who have watched "Joker" and let them go into the theater again to support the film. This kind of behavior of riding on the popularity of one's own videos can be said to be very common.

And "Batman Begins" naturally has gimmicks. Since there was a massacre in the movie theater because of the movie "Joker", then use a "non-killing" superhero to soothe the trauma.

"Okay." Naomi Watts curled her lips, picked up the exquisite handbag and stood up. "I won't disturb your work anymore. I'll come over when you finish your work, and I'll go find a place to hang out."

Wayne nodded, his eyes drifting back to the newspaper. This relatively clever way of publicity has always been the most practical and cost-effective way. Not to mention Hollywood is doing it this way now, even twenty years later, the entertainment industry on the other side of the Pacific has also learned to do it this way.

There are many tricks to promote movies, and there are also many in that land. He still remembers a movie he personally screened. That movie called "White Birds to the Phoenix" is indeed a good movie, but the producer's The saucy manipulation has ruined the reputation of many films.

In order to have a better schedule for the film, the producer actually knelt down and licked the theater manager. In 201, in order to promote the film, Fang L, the producer of "White Bird to the Phoenix", unexpectedly went to the live broadcast room to promote the film. Kneel down and kowtow to the theater managers across the country!

Across the country, people really kowtow when they kneel down! I asked the theater manager to arrange more movies for "A Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix", saying that I just wanted to arrange a golden show to support traditional culture.

The outcome of this incident was very ideal. Just because of his kneeling and kowtowing, many theater managers did give him prime time, and the film's box office also increased significantly.

He got the result he wanted, but it also became a joke among movie fans. The movie itself was to promote traditional culture. The producer also talked about national justice and national integrity, but when he turned around, It turned into kneeling and kowtowing to promote the movie.

What purpose there is, I believe even a blind person can see it. Although this kind of showmanship has become a joke among movie fans, it has really caught people's attention and also attracted more passerby movie fans to walk into the theater to watch the movie.

If you look at it purely from a producer's perspective, not only did he do a qualified job, but he also did an excellent job, and he really made the movie successful and profitable.

No one can deny his success in publicity and marketing of the film. There are also many other tricks like this in publicity. It can only be said that the two entertainment circles separated by the Pacific Ocean have the same purpose of making profits.
