Chapter 653 [Super high level, winning the championship]
Under the guidance of Liang Kun, Gal Gadot showed his acting skills in many details, not just frowning, smiling, and glaring.
After defeating Ares, her face lost the smile of her previous victory. No matter how powerful she is, the dead will not be resurrected. She wants to protect the people around her, rather than being full of energy when she first left the island, trying to kill Ares to save the world.
When Steve died, Gadot's emotions were just right. The original plot was a bit fragmented. She yelled and fought to get rid of the bondage, and then went to beat the German soldiers. She didn't even shed a single tear. When she beat the soldiers, she also had a close-up of her facial features and sharp eyes.
If she really loves Steve, at least shed some tears and then kill the culprit.
The original female hero hit the wrong person, and her expression became calm after hitting the soldier. Facing the villain Dr. Maru, she raised the tank and listened to Ares letting go, and fell into memories. She lifted the tank for a minute, and finally put it down gently.
After absorbing lightning with her wrist guards, she actually laughed. Steve just exploded, sister!
The plot of Liang Kun’s magical modification is more logical. Diana first stared at the sky in disbelief, and then knelt down and cried. Liang Kun asked her to cry as ugly as possible, preferably like when Luffy saw Ace die in the war on the top.
Gadot could not do that because Luffy's mouth was too big, but at least she cried until her face broke down.
This performance will not only not affect the box office, but also make all viewers feel that Gadot has acting skills.
When she cried, the German Soldier and Dr. Maru had already been affected by the battle between the two. Ares pulled Dr. Maru's body with his mind power to Diana and fired another wave of mouth cannons.
He felt that Diana had collapsed and was not afraid. As a result, Diana recalled what Steve said, rekindled her fighting spirit and became stronger.
Evil will be punished, and Diana did not let the bad guys go. This drama is much better than the original. What should I do if Dr. Maru escapes and creates a bunch of bombs? This is a serious problem! Liang Kun can't stand the plot of the heroine Mary Sue, so how can the bad guys be so easily influenced? This was also satirized in the movie "Deadpool".
Liang Kun helped Gadot perform a few details, but if he couldn't perform well, he would do it over and over again. The original Gadot's literary drama was very bad, and the director did not have high requirements for her, so he could only describe it as "empty movement".
Liang Kun believes that her emotions cannot be just on the surface, and should be integrated into the role as much as possible. At least in a few key scenes, you must perform well so that you can excel. It is very simple to play Gadot's hero in the first place. His true nature performance, and the subsequent details that reflect emotional changes are taught by Liang Kun.
Diana's mentality has changed significantly, from a simple and confident naughty child to mature.
When she was off the island, her mother Hippolyta didn't want her to charge and become a victim, and she didn't want her to become a weapon. She said to her daughter: "What you face in becoming a hero is responsibility! Can you bear this responsibility?"
Diana didn't understand, so she insisted on leaving. When she understood the word "responsibility", she could no longer live a carefree life.
She did not return to Paradise Island and began to live in the human world. The play said that she wanted to protect the human world and explore human nature. In fact, because DC paid the salary, she had to play Wonder Woman in the next movie, otherwise she would go back to Israel.
There is an easter egg at the end of the movie. Diana received an email from Bruce Wien. The email contains a photo of her during World War I. This clip can be used in "Batman vs. Superman".
The Easter egg indicates that Warner is going to film the story of Batman again in the next movie, and the audience gave a burst of applause.
Liang Kun used this movie to show how to have both big love and small love while ensuring the scene and visual effects. The two of them had a perfect match, and the final battle was very exciting, and a female audience sobbed when they saw it.
Everyone admits that this is an excellent commercial film, and the plot is simple but not a flaw. Liang Kun is the guarantee of quality. The 142-minute length gives people a feeling of shortness, and there is no dull plot from beginning to end.
Liang Kun's filming rhythm was quite successful in taking the Marvel route. He portrayed the protagonist as he could not only pretend to be a B, but also create jokes. The story also appropriately discussed a little about human nature, and the overall situation was not a dark wind.
After the main creators praised each other, the premiere ended perfectly.
The ban was lifted at the end of the month, and the reputation of "Wonder Woman" exploded, surpassing "Man of Steel" and last month's "Avengers".
The freshness of the movie Rotten Tomatoes is 97%, 68 fresh and 2 rotten, with an average score of 7.7. The freshness of the Rotten Tomatoes in "Avengers" is 92%.
The movie was officially released on June 1st and the box office exploded immediately, and almost all media gave positive comments.
USA Today: "The plot of the film is explosive and fascinating. Diana stepped out of the trenches and entered the battlefield is amazing. Liang Kun once again proved that he is a versatile. Not only is he a good director, he also made an excellent soundtrack."
"New York Daily": "Since Liang Kun's cooperation with Warner, he has performed extremely well in four consecutive movies. He lets people know that superhero movies can also be very interesting. Compared with this movie, other female hero movies should be recreated. For the same subject, Liang Kun's director is several levels higher."
Entertainment Weekly: "Wonder Woman is very smart and sleek. It has all the elements that are supposed to have for excellent commercial movies and will definitely achieve amazing box office results."
"Indiewire": "The best DCEU movie to date. Just one word: so wonderful!"
Many people think that this movie is more exciting than Nolan's Batman. "The Dark Knight" is indeed dark, and the excitement lies in the actors' acting skills and the plot is serious. Liang Kun's movie can attract a large number of passers-by fans, and the audience can enjoy watching it without knowing the comics.
Netizens who watched the movie left messages to express their thoughts.
"I posted a post to criticize Warner's casting and thought Gal Gadot could not play the role well. The result was just like Liang Kun said, Gadot is the most suitable candidate for Wonder Woman. She is so charming in the film. I don't spoil it, and I suggest everyone watch it in the theater. Not only is the fighting scene exciting, but the actors' acting skills are also online."
"From today on, Gal Gadot will be my goddess. Last month, I thought Black Widow was the handsomest woman in a super-English movie. After watching "Wonder Woman", I think Diana can easily beat ten Black Widows."
"This is a real feminist film, and the crew was very attentive when filming. From one detail, Diana came from a place without male aesthetic standards. She didn't treat her body's hair, so she had armpit hair."
It is estimated that among all the directors, only Liang Kun can notice this detail. Because in the parallel world, although this detail has not had much impact on the movie, it has been questioned.
Some people even said that "the objectification of the female image of "Wonder Woman" is a kind of regression." This is what the great director James Cameron said in an interview.
The heroine wants to not be questioned by feminism, only Marvel's Captain Marvel can do it. After all, she appears with her pie face strength...
The premiere of "Wonder Woman" was a big box office success, with 160 million yuan in three days on weekends. Although this result is not as good as "Avengers", it is also quite fierce, better than "Man of Steel".
Moreover, the production cost of the movie is only US$120 million, and the promotional cost will not exceed 150 million. The production cost of "Avengers" was revealed to be 220 million, which is much higher than this movie, and it is worth a higher box office.
Because "Wonder Woman" has the highest reputation in the summer, the box office cannot plummet in the second week, and the box office boom is a foregone conclusion. The heroine movie that big companies dare not touch has exploded, and Liang Kun received higher ratings.
The Rock Age, released on the same day, was particularly miserable in "The Rock Age", which starred Tom Cruise, and the investment of 75 million yuan could not recover the cost.
"Snow White and the Hunter" starring Chris Hemsworth is not much better. In the parallel world, the movie has a good box office, which is directly related to the lack of strong opponents during the schedule. Now the heroine is still Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron, but Christen has lost the popularity bonus of "Twilight".
The butterfly effect is that Christine is not with Robert Pattinson, and she will not hurt Pattinson when she has sex with a married director. She does not have the aura of Twilight, so she may be cold.
Gal Gadot became popular and was no longer a vase in the "Fast and Furious" series. However, she signed three movies with Warner, and the pay was not high. If she wanted to increase her pay significantly, she had to wait until the three dramas were finished.
Her salary for a play is only 300,000 US dollars, which is not as much as that of Chinese celebrities who cut pictures and act in TV series, greatly reducing Warner's production costs.
Of course, she has also gained many benefits, and she will not have to worry about not having any other movie roles to play. She will definitely win the favor of merchants and receive endorsements from international brands.
After she played Wonder Woman, as long as she didn't commit suicide and exposed serious negative news, she would definitely be popular for many years.
In the second week, "Wonder Woman" won the box office championship again.
Currently, the total revenue of the film in North America has reached US$309 million, making it the third film released in recent years to exceed US$300 million in the shortest time after "The Dark Knight" and "The Avengers" released in early May this year.
The work "Prometheus" by Ridley Scott was affected and the box office was lower than expected.
The movie has different reviews. Some people say that this is a masterpiece, while others say that the highlight of the movie is that the heroine gave birth to two generations in one day and became a grandmother. The annual ethical drama of human, beast and strange love!
In the parallel world, Prometheus invested $130 million and achieved only $400 million in global box office, which is not considered successful. Now, when it comes to Wonder Woman, the box office is at least 30% lower.
Chapter completed!
