Some time ago, the popular "Deadpool" (Deadpool) finally released the Korean version of resources, and I was finally able to get a glimpse of the "benefit".
Deadpool is also a well-known comic character under Marvel's. Long ago, its movie rights were packaged and sold to 20th Century Fox with other X-Men. Deadpool has always had a bad fate, so it's fine if you follow a stepfather, but I didn't expect that he would be the most unwelcome to see him. The "X-Men" series of movies have been released since 2000, and there has been nothing Deadpool. He finally showed his face in 2009's "Wolverine", but it turned out to be very different-
very different from the cartoon image.
This time, the 2014 "X-Men: Reversing the Future" restarted the X-Men universe, and Deadpool can finally get rid of the bad image in "Wolverine" and fly solo.
This flight is just soaring into the sky.
According to the China box office statistics of E-En Consulting, "Deadpool", which cost US$58 million, was released on February 12, 2016. As of March 27, the global box office totaled US$745.9 million-a huge profit; not only a profit, but also a reputation. Very good-whether it is in the United States or China.
So the question is: Why is "Deadpool" so popular?
When many media or posts mentioned "Deadpool", they all mentioned that it is R-rated (the "restricted level" in American film classification, and children under the age of 17 must be accompanied by parents or adults to watch it), and it is very dirty. This is easy to give people the impression that the "Deadpool" fire is due to pollution.
This view has even had a certain impact on the senior executives of Hollywood companies. According to Mtime.com, at an exhibition held in New York this year, the brochure of the Fox booth clearly stated: "Wolverine 3" is predicted to be graded R; and according to Sina Entertainment, Fox’s "X-Men" series The lead creator Simon Kinberg intends to make "X Commando" also an R-level; Sina Entertainment also reported that "Rebirth Man" will also be an R-level.
For a time, the R-class came fiercely.
In this regard, "Guardians of the Galaxy" director James Gunn questioned on Facebook:
"After every movie is a big success, people in Hollywood like to analyze the film's success. I was in " "Guardians of the Galaxy" witnessed this scene. Others are saying that the success of "Guardians of the Galaxy" is because they are not afraid of being funny, colorful or interesting. Then I heard that there are hundreds of movies that intend to follow the example of "Guardians of the Galaxy". "Team", and I did see it, there are dozens of movie trailers just like the trailer of "Guardians of the Galaxy"."
Then James Gunn said of "Deadpool":
"The success of this movie lies in It has its own things. This movie is original and well-made. The production team made this movie with deep love, and they are not afraid of taking risks. But everyone will soon discover that Hollywood will definitely do Misunderstanding the success of "Deadpool", major film companies will give those movies that imitate "Deadpool" the green light. They didn't realize that the success of this film was because of "original" and "excellent", but thought The film’s success is due to “obsceneness.” They simply treat the audience as fools, and this is something that "Deadpool" has never had before."
Gunn can be said to have revealed the secret of the success of "Deadpool"-but in fact it is equivalent to Did not say the same. Road to Road, very Avenue. It is impossible for us to sum up a set of immutable rules, just look at how "Deadpool" does it.
Let me talk about the most eye-catching part: dirty.
"Deadpool" is indeed very dirty. There are two kinds of pollution, one is a slightly lower-level shit joke. Low-level is a bit low-level, but it is very effective to use it appropriately.
There are some more advanced pollution-using symbolism, metaphor, analogy and other techniques to achieve the state of pollutionlessness than pollution.
For example, he put a hot car igniter into the enemy’s mouth and made a very lewd joke:
another example, in order to satirize the enemy, his brain circuit turned several turns:
To a certain extent, this high-level taint and the writers' literary and artistic writing of erotic scenes are the same.
For example, Lao She wrote in "Camel Xiangzi" that Xiangzi and Huniu had sex:
"The light is out in the house. The sky is very dark. From time to time, one or two stars pierce the Milky Way, or enter the darkness, with red or whitish light. The tail, fluttering or stiff, falling straight or sweeping, and sometimes trembling and shaking, giving the sky some light and heat turbulence, giving the darkness some flashing bursts. Sometimes one or two stars, sometimes several stars, at the same time Falling, making the quiet autumn sky tremble slightly, making Wanxing momentarily confused. Sometimes a single giant star pierces the horns of the sky, the light tail is extremely long, radiating star flowers; red, gradually yellow; in the last advance, suddenly The horns of the sky were whitened madly, as if pierced through the tens of thousands of darkness, and some milky white light penetrated and lingered. The afterglow dissipated, the darkness seemed to sway a few times, and it was wrapped up again, quietly lazy The lazy stars returned to their original positions, smiling in the autumn breeze. On the ground, there were some autumn fireflies looking for lovers, and they were also playing star-like games. "The
same is also full of eroticism, but colorlessness is better than color.
Dirty, cheap, pornographic, and violent are just the appearance of the film. The more crucial point is that they all serve themes and characters, and are essentially no different from elements such as actions and horrors.
Deadpool was created as an anti-traditional image.
He is not a hero (at best is an anti-hero), unlike other heroes who always go through some mental journeys, he is just in the arena and hatred.
He couldn't die, and he knew that he was a comic book character, so he was very carefree, and he was very open-minded. The world is nothing but clouds.
He is particularly capable of fighting, particularly nonsense, particularly funny, breaking all shackles, and opposing all traditions. He is a unique and maverick existence in the American comics (to some extent, he is a bit like Monkey King).
Can such an anti-traditional man count on him to do sainthood and speak saintly words? Obviously not.
Tired of watching all kinds of high-level or self-entangled superheroes, the audience needs such characters to relax their minds and bodies and focus on enjoyment; at the same time, they see his misinterpretation, ridicule, and complaints about mainstream culture.
For example, when Steel Lux said that he would take him to see the professor, he asked whether he would see the young or the old-ridiculing the timeline of the "X-Men" series of movies.
example, he ridiculed "Hurricane Rescue" and filmed three episodes. The protagonist played by Liam Neeson saves his daughter every time. This father takes too many times.
There are a lot of complaints about mainstream culture like this. If you don't have a little understanding of American culture, you can't understand all the jokes at all.
In fact, as far as the movie "Deadpool" is concerned, there is a big problem-the climax is weak, which is similar to the play at the beginning of the film. In fact, this is not to blame the movie, because the cost itself is too low. As we said before, the cost is only $58 million. What is this concept? Let's compare a few benchmarks. The figures are all from the information of the international box office website Box Office Mojo.
The same superhero single-player movie "Ant-Man" was introduced to the mainland in 2015 as a sub-ledger film at a cost of 130 million US dollars and a global box office of 519 million US dollars.
"The Seventh Son", co-produced by China and the United States, was released in China and the United States in 2015 (not accounting for the imported film quota). The cost was US$95 million and the global box office was US$114 million.
"The Last Wizard Hunter" was introduced to the mainland in 2016 as a batch film, costing 90 million US dollars, and the global box office was 140 million US dollars.
The sub-ledger films basically represent the high-level works of Hollywood in the United States, and the criticized films are basically low-level works of Hollywood in the United States or even outside the dock.
The investment of "Deadpool" is not as good as the approval of films (in contrast, the rate of return of "Deadpool" is much higher than these films).
Because the R-rated audience is small, they are not welcomed by film companies; and as mentioned earlier, 20th Century Fox doesn't like Deadpool at all.
However, the R-class of superheroes is extremely expensive. Therefore, the crew had to spend the money frugally, and at the same time strive to spend the money on the blade.
Where does frugality manifest itself?
First of all, the whole movie is only 106 minutes. You have to know that there are 109 minutes left in the cartoon "Zoo City"!
Secondly, the whole film has only three paragraphs in chronological order: the origin of Deadpool, the overpass chase, and the ultimate battle. There are only some simple scenes in the middle as a series.
Again, the characters in the whole film are pitiful, and there is no extra background-no history of the villain is mentioned, and no heavyweight X-Men members are involved. Deadpool complained that there are only two people in X Academy, Steel Lux and the Black Queen, as if the crew can't afford other actors (actually).
However, the crew had a lot of brains on how to spend the limited money. The first is to artificially disrupt the timeline and increase the complexity of the narrative to make up for the shortcomings of the simplicity of the plot-specifically, the film alternately edits the plots of the origin of Deadpool and the chase of the overpass. Then the movie opened with an overpass chasing action scene, which immediately aroused the emotions of the audience. This also makes the action scenes evenly distributed from one end to the other, so that the front will not be too boring and the back will be too rough. And these few action scenes have indeed been carefully polished. Be skillful and skillful. Be passionate and passionate. Be chic and chic.
Whether you are a fan or not, you can be immediately followed by fans. Is there any reason to be unpopular?
Finally, in the context of the world, the success of "Deadpool" is not an accident. Since 2015, some movies that focus on entertainment effects, such as "Royal Agent" and "Mad Max", have achieved great success in the world, contrary to Nolan's "Dark Knight" movie opened in 2008. The trend of globalization.
"Deadpool" is just a low-cost version of "Royal Agent" or "Mad Max".
And "Deadpool" is not even the first low-cost, heavy-tasting, and entertaining superhero movie.
Earlier than Deadpool was the "King of the Sea" series. According to the international box office website Box Office Mojo, the cost of "King of Papillon" released in 2010 was 30 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office totaled more than $96 million; the cost of "King of Papillon 2" that was released in 2013 was 28 million U.S. dollars. The total box office has declined to less than $61 million.
It is also adapted from the comic of the same name, and it is also full of restricted content, spoofs of mainstream superhero culture, and anti-heroes with delightful enmity.
These works have reached the extreme in terms of entertainment, in short, it is just one word-cool.
This sense of coolness comes largely from the shocking action scenes and visual effects. We have mentioned the action scenes before, let’s look at the visual effects:
This refreshing feeling is also largely derived from the opposition and dismemberment of mainstream culture-whether it is its core (anti-hero) or its core The performance techniques (various restriction levels) are all anti-mainstream and anti-traditional.
These are the secrets and artistic value of the success of "Deadpool" and other films.
