670 - A big villain like a weak chicken.
Hollywood is always like a contradiction, just like the situation Wayne faced back then. As a new director, you have never proved yourself in business, so you naturally won’t get the opportunity to be invested. But if you don’t have the money to make your first feature film, why do you prove your abilities to the film company?
This principle applies to "The Flash". A simple third-rate story like this, let alone a new director, or a well-known director, can only get a large mouthful of phlegm from the film and television production department after getting Warner Bros., and most of them don't even get the chance to review it.
Contradictions can be said to exist in all aspects of the circle. In the eyes of film companies, fresh and creative stories are tantamount to taking risks with large sums of funds. Old-fashioned and simple stories, as if they are assembly lines. The film companies will not even look at them. If there are too many screenwriters and producers who can write such stories, they will not believe in your ability.
If this seems to be a joke, the movie seems like a child's play, but the reality is much more cruel than this. When "The Flash" was first mentioned by Wayne, it was completely a creative idea, and even the script was just an outline, but Warner Brothers would still pay hundreds of millions of dollars.
Even if the preparations for "The Flash" are in the late stage, and when the main actors are selected, the script is still overturning again and again.
All the situations show that films like this have nothing to do with novice directors in the circle and even some well-known directors. In particular, "The Flash" is almost exactly the same as "Titanic" in terms of story structure, simple, straightforward and old-fashioned.
Could it be that Wayne or James Cameron cannot write exquisite stories? It is obviously impossible. Directors of their level understand very well that simple stories often require directorial skills. A good tragic romance film becomes "Titanic", and there are countless examples of failures.
At the same time, a simple and simple story undoubtedly means that all the thresholds for viewing are removed. Even if the theater is a child of a few years old and a man in his sixties or seventies, he can still understand what the movie is talking about at the first time and win a wider audience.
Of course, all this must be based on the "quality" of the film. Often, the stories of big-selling commercial films are very simple and simple, because the selling points of the film are not the story at all.
Some people think of this while watching a movie, while more people simply think that this movie is worth the price of entering the theater just for the grand visual pleasure.
In the back of the media representative area, Bella Grant, wearing a light beige women's skirt, looked at the big screen with his eyes very excited.
Since many years ago, she has never missed every movie premiere of Wayne. The same is true for this "Flash". Even though she did not squeeze into the media area left by the organizer, she still got a ticket to the premiere movie based on her own relationship.
There were rumors about this film in the circle before. This was the first time Bella Grant saw a complete film. Now she couldn't guess what other viewers thought, but she knew she was very satisfied with watching it. This was the first time she watched that man's video without using her brain, and was in a state of enjoyment without any brains.
In the past two years, paparazzi reporters have focused most of their attention on the female stars who have intersections with Wayne, and gradually climbed to the senior executive of the Los Angeles Times. Instead, because they were hidden behind the scenes, they gradually lost the follow-up of paparazzi reporters and the gossip tabloids' hype about her bomb figure.
But the relationship between the two of them has not broken down. On occasional weekends, she can be seen in and out at Greenberg Manor or at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly.
Even Wayne had a very special feeling about this woman, because she was the only woman who did not get money or opportunities from him. Bella Grant had her own career and did a very good job, which was the capital she could always maintain independence.
She likes excellent men, but she doesn't have to get anything from excellent men. Of course, the Los Angeles Times has the factor of being close to Warner Brothers, which is impossible to avoid.
But for Warner Bros. and the Los Angeles Times, the close cooperation between the two sides tends to be a win-win situation, which is the basis for close friendship between the two sides.
Not long ago, Wayne and Bella Grant had a party. When he saw the woman still driving the Chevrolet a few years ago, he proposed to ask the woman to choose a good car by herself and send the bill to the manor, and naturally someone would pay the bill.
What was received was the woman shaking her head neatly, just as she rejected the precious gifts she had never seen before.
When Wayne gallops on the majestic mountain of women, he habitually jokes. "I'm busy with work and making a lot of money, just to make 'girlfriend' doesn't have to worry about money. So, Bella, you can make an appointment with Nina, then go to the luxury store to shop and drive your favorite car to the car dealer."
Even if a woman is suppressed, her head is always clear and amazing. Her answer is particularly direct. "Wayne, your workaholic attributes and the sky-high income that come with it are not for a certain woman, but for the right to look up to by ordinary people and the capital to squander desire. Don't use these words to deceive other female stars to deceive me."
"But what I said is true, isn't it?" The man looked at the woman's majesty in obsession, and teased again with his neck.
"Don't talk about this, Wayne, I'll tell you what the facts are. The fact is that before I had sex with you, I had always relied on my own abilities to make money to support myself, and kept achieving success in the workplace! What? After I climbed into the bed of a rich man, did my work ability disappear? I could afford things, but I had to spend your money?
Wayne, you keep achieving amazing success in Hollywood, entirely because it can bring you rights, wealth, fame, dreams, etc. There are countless reasons that support your ambitions to expand, but don’t throw this dirty water on me. You are only a little attractive to me. You are a more than 99% of the outstanding men of the same kind, only this one!”
Similar conversations have happened more than once, so in Wayne's eyes, this woman always has a different feeling from other female stars. In his opinion, the so-called independent women are probably like this. Such a style and personality are hard not to fascinate men.
Especially in Hollywood, a heavily patriarchal society, Bella Grant is different from the abnormal behavior of women in this era, as if he exudes charm all over his body.
"boy, after tonight, the debate you will face will become more and more intense..."
Looking at the big screen, although Bella Grant liked this film very much, but with his sensitivity as the editor-in-chief of the media, he instantly thought of the direction of public opinion tomorrow morning.
There is no doubt that this "Flash" is not like a Greenber format film at all. Countless "art" elements praised by filmmakers around the world have disappeared in this film. At least when the film is screened here, all you can see is a simple story, and the audio and video special effects that have been achieved to the extreme of this era.
The story on the big screen continues. After Barry Allen was hit by lightning and particle accelerator, he lay in Star Laboratory for nine months. After Barry Allen woke up, Dr. Wells from Star Laboratory told him everything.
The particle accelerator was Dr. Wells' lifelong dream, but the accident happened eventually. The doctor told him that during the nine months of his sleep, every time his heart stopped, the entire laboratory with a sense of technology in the future would be powered off.
After that, Barry Allen immediately went to meet Iris whom he had a crush on, but his body had changed unknowingly. This change successfully allowed him to resolve a crisis. When he returned to the police station, when he found a prisoner preparing to steal a gun, he instantly moved to the prisoner and stopped the impending crisis.
The changes brought by the body made Barry Allen feel fear. He ran out of the police station when he noticed something was wrong. Afterwards, he found that his speed was as fast as lightning, and fear disappeared, and excitement filled his brain.
There is no doubt that all this is related to the particle accelerator of Star Laboratory. The excited Barry Allen found the doctor in the laboratory. Next, they conducted an experiment on Barry Allen's speed at the airport.
His speed was so fast that he could exceed the sound, and even a sonic boom appeared at the start, which immediately reminded him of the two lightning bolts of his mother that night he was killed in his childhood!
Barry Allen, who recalled his childhood, broke his arm due to distraction, but what happened next was even more unexpected to everyone. In less than three hours, his broken arm recovered as before!
From gaining ability to adaptability, and then to understanding one's own abilities, although the camera switches very quickly on the big screen, as long as you can express Baili Allen's abilities, they are extremely shocked by the special effects renderings. Every audience member at the scene stared at the big screen with great enthusiasm.
Barry Allen became the Flash in people's memory, and the story began to get on track. When Barry Allen was using his abilities to chase a criminal, he happened to meet his adoptive father's partner Martin who was killed by lightning that day. Not only did the other party not die, he also gained the ability to control the storm because of the particle accelerator!
The story is simple. When Martin, who controls the storm, appears, everyone knows that this guy is the villain in the movie, but the audience does not feel bored, because whether it is the scene where Martin controls the storm or Barry Allen's lightning-fast rendering, they are directly full of visual and auditory experience.
Barry Allen told his adoptive father all this, but his adoptive father Joe didn't believe it at all. His dead partner Martin not only survived, but also became able to control the storm. All this was simply too unrestrained. Joe still firmly believes that it was Barry Allen's father who killed his mother. He thought the child was just looking for excuses for his father.
Barry Allen, who was thought to be crazy by his adoptive father, turned around and found the doctor in Star Laboratory. He told the doctor what he saw and inferred that the particle accelerator not only changed itself, but radiated the whole city. It is very likely that humans with superpowers have more due to radiation.
Martin was the first similar person Barry Allen met. Obviously, as an ordinary police force, he could not solve this big trouble with superpowers. He wanted Dr. Wells' team to find a solution to such people, but the answer he could get was "no".
At this moment, no one could help him. The adoptive father did not believe his crazy words, and the doctor was skeptical about his words but had no solution.
The helpless Barry Allen chose to go to another city at absolute speed based on the legend he had learned, and find helpers who could help him. The name of this city was also constantly mentioned in Barry Allen's memories, "City of Tomorrow", and most people would rather call it "metropolis"!
“oh my god! Metropolis!”
"Clark Kent?!"
"I knew that Wayne wouldn't let us down!"
“…”
The Flash on the big screen was running, recalling memories, and in the screening room, the audience had a buzzing discussion for the first time, and couldn't help but be amazed.
The plot effect is very good. When there is no information about Superman appears, the expectation of the audience was lifted up at this moment.
But Barry Allen was just an ordinary person before. He learned about the legend of the Metropolitan Guardian and the criminal who was arrested in his memory. Can he find the mysterious guardian in that city based on these verbal information? No one knows.
But the audience has been motivated, and many people have discovered the difference between this film and the previous DC series. The previous films always mention other heroes in the form of an Easter egg until the end of the film. However, this "The Flash" gives information openly in the main film.
If the legend about "The Guardian of the Metropolis" cannot excite the audience, Barry Allen's memory of criminals has made everyone feel more excited, because among the scattered messages, the code names "Green Lantern" and "Green Arrow" have been repeatedly mentioned many times.
Barry Allen firmly believed that the things that he used to be regarded as legendary were real, because his own changes were the most favorable evidence!
A person who truly believes in himself, a person who has the ability to help him solve problems, is the goal of Barry Allen's trip. Because he knows very well that Martin, who controls the storm, is probably just the first one to be exposed. The entire city is radiated by particle accelerators, and I don't know how many similar ambitious people are hiding in the dark.
The prosperity of the metropolis at night did not make Barry Allen feel nostalgic. At this moment, he turned into a red lightning, flashing wildly in the metropolis, looking for his own goal.
There were no twists and turns, when red lightning raged to the metropolis, on the roof of a building, it was successfully stopped by a strong figure hidden in the shadow.
"You weren't hit by lightning casually. Child, it was lightning who chose you!"
The strong figure in the shadow knows everything, and after a long silence, a low voice comes from the shadow. "Child, you must believe that you can use your own abilities to protect your own city! Since Lightning has chosen you, then turn into Lightning to do what you should do."
The tall and strong figure did not give Barry Allen a chance to continue explaining, and turned around and jumped down from the roof of the building, leaving a final advice.
"Don't forget to wear a mask, kid."
Although this sentence is still low, the tone of speaking is full of ridiculous meaning.
At this point when the movie goes on, many things are no longer hints, but Chilolo's explicit statement. There are countless supernatural forces in this world, and it is very likely that those owners of supernatural forces have communication with each other.
"Superman, Arrow, Green Lantern, plus the protagonist Flash, which hero will appear next...?"
Bella Grant is not a die-hard DC comics fan, but these familiar superheroes, even if she is a girl, are still very familiar with them. The fragmented information that appears in the movie is enough to make ordinary people scream excitedly.
As an insider in the Hollywood Circle and a senior film media practitioner, she has a very clear feeling that the DC series will soon speed up its pace after several successful works. This "The Flash" is preparing audiences all over the world with a simple story background and grand audio and video special effects.
Even Bella Grant can guess the next scene in the movie, which is nothing more than the Flash returning to his own city and defeating the Martin who controls the storm with his own hands.
As she thought, Barry Allen returned to Star Lab, and they designed and made a suit for him that prevented him from burning out due to too fast speed, and Catherine also found out where Martin released the storm.
As the camera turned, Barry Allen's adoptive father Joe also chased him here. No accident happened. The two ordinary policemen were no match for Martin at all.
The Martin-controlled storm destroyed the farm, destroyed the buildings, and destroyed everything around him, and Joe was simply unable to resist this inhuman ability.
At this moment, Barry Allen, wearing a new battle suit, turned into a bright red lightning bolt and rushed to the scene. Martin controlled the storm and still had no intention of stopping. The storm was spreading to the center of the city, and he wanted to destroy the entire city.
Barry Allen didn't think about it, so he rushed into the storm alone and began to run in the opposite direction, hoping to use his own speed to break the storm. But Martin's ability was stronger than he thought, and he knocked him away the moment he rushed into the storm.
If the previous special effects were only appearing intermittently, that grand scene was the limit of the special effects of this era. Martin controlled the hurricane-like storm, and Barry Allen, who was kicked away, got up and made his signature posture of preparing to run.
"Barry, run, you are good at this, run, Barry..."
Dr. Wells, adoptive father Joe and others in the movie were all watching Barry Allen nervously until he turned into lightning this time and cut into the storm directly.
The collision between speed and speed, the collision between lightning and hurricane, and the fierce sparks seem to overflow outside the big screen. Wayne believes that using green screen to shoot is the most correct choice, at least in this era.
In the fierce collision, Barry Allen successfully reversed the storm that was about to enter the city with the fastest speed and successfully prevented the disaster from happening.
Finally, at the moment when Barry Allen destroyed the storm, his adoptive father Joe decisively fired two shots to solve Martin. At this time, Joe finally believed everything his adopted son said, and understood that he had misunderstood him, and believed even more that his adopted son's description of what happened in his childhood.
After this incident, Joe saw his incredible ability with his own eyes and was finally willing to help Barry Allen to testify that his father was innocent and that the murderer of his mother was someone else.
The film has gradually come to an end, but in fact the story is obviously not finished, but this is the style of DC movies. The audience is used to leaving suspense and then waiting for the subsequent sequel to continue telling the story.
As the camera turned on the big screen, Barry Allen sat in front of the prison visiting glass, making a promise with his father. He vowed to guard the city in the darkness in the name of the Flash and to pull out the other superpowers who are still hidden.
At the same time, the audio-on sounded.
"Barry never caught up with anyone in his first half of his life, but now he is the fastest person in the world. He will follow the footsteps of the legendary superheroes with the name Flash and protect the world."
When the voiceover fell, a huge line of letters appeared on the big screen: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. The ability is never an accomplice to trample on the truth!"
The background music at the end of the movie rang out together, and the ending subtitles were scrolling, accompanied by a burst of intense applause!
"This movie is so satisfying. My God, I never thought that the movie special effects could really do this!"
"Beautiful job, Barry!"
"Run, Barry, you're good at this!"
“…”
The audience was not only applauding violently, but also screaming loudly with their excitement and clapping.
"The amazing special effects are incredible."
Also applauding hard with the fans, Todd McKinsey, a well-known Los Angeles film critic, smiled and shook his head and muttered to himself. In fact, he is Wayne's hardcore movie fan. If any other film critic had any comments on this film, he would probably be vulgar and uninnovative. The vulgar routine collection of summer seasons was a collection of comments.
One thing Todd McKinsey is still worried, that is, the villain in this film is too weak. Barry Allen successfully killed the big villain without any setbacks. Such a weak villain setting is rare in commercial films of this era.
But Wayne has more confidence than anyone else, because he can be said to have completely borrowed from the Iron Man in his memory in his production of the entire Flash.
In his memory, Marvel has proved countless times that a likable character does not need to be highlighted by a strong villain. Even if it is like a primary school student making a fight and dancing to kill the weak boys, it will not affect the view of the movie fans.
However, without Todd McKinsey's concerns continued, the big screen lit up again, as if it was already a regular program of Wayne's movies. Easter eggs began to appear in time, and the deafening applause in the screening room also stopped at this moment, and everyone's eyes turned to the big screen.
