In the 1980s, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Star Wars" were born, and they joined hands to create a new era of Hollywood commercial movies, and officially brought the concept of summer vacation to the North American market, which in one fell swoop established Harrison Ford. The importance of the giants of film history.

In 1989, "Indiana Jones 3" was officially released, the series came to an end, and then it was silent for nearly twenty years. Another look at Indiana Jones on the big screen.

In the 1990s, the "Jurassic Park" series became another box office hit. In 1993, the first part of the series won the annual box office championship in North America, followed by sequels to the series in 1997 and 2001. Word of mouth is getting worse, far from satisfactory, and finally ended hastily.

After a lapse of twelve years, Universal Pictures has rebooted the series again.

This is not surprising.

After entering the second decade of the 21st century, the entire Hollywood and even the world's film industry is facing the dilemma that original inspiration is gradually drying up, and the quality of original scripts is showing a decline. All are.

As a result, major film companies have focused their attention on the adaptation of novels, games, comics, dramas and other artistic works. The success of teenage novel adaptations, as well as the success of Marvel comics adaptations, are slowly becoming the mainstream orientation of the market. Last year's "Edge of Tomorrow", "The Hunger Games", "Les Miserables", etc. are the most direct examples. .

Then, when the adaptation resources also fell into the dilemma of too many monks and little porridge, major film companies have set their sights on their own copyright libraries. Classic remakes, classic restarts, classic continuations, etc. have gradually become mainstream.

"Star Wars", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Bourne Bourne", "Die Hard", "Mission Impossible" and other series all have sequels after the end of the trilogy; " The Spider-Man" series, the "Fantastic Four" series, etc., continue to restart endlessly.

Works such as "Witch Carrie", "King Kong", "Ghostbusters", "Eleven Arhats", "Youth Dragon and Tiger", "Jumanji" and other works have been refurbished and remade; even Pixar, which has always been famous for its originality , "Toy Story 4", "The Incredibles 2" and so on have also successively approved projects.

The most typical representative is the rise of Disney.

After 2012, Disney has become the absolute hegemon of Hollywood again!

On the one hand, it was because of the successful acquisitions of Pixar, Marvel Studios and Lucasfilm, which created three long-term blockbuster series; on the other hand, because CEO Robert Iger opened Disney's treasure, his own copyright The library has officially launched the live-action program of all cartoons, and the resources for film adaptation are inexhaustible.

Among them, Universal Pictures is in an embarrassing situation, because they are Hollywood's worst film company in creating series, no one.

The "Jurassic Park" series and the "Fast \u0026 Furious" series are their only trump cards, and these two series are examples of a good hand that gradually leads to a dead end, once again proving Universal Pictures' commitment to the series The film lacks a keen sense of smell.

Now, it should come as no surprise that Ron Mayer has opted to join the Hollywood bandwagon with a reboot of the "Jurassic Park" franchise.

In 2015 of the last life, "Jurassic World" debuted, and the new director Collin Trevorrow took the helm, and Chris Parra, who was successful with "Guardians of the Galaxy", was in charge. Special (chris-pratt) teamed up with director Ron Howard's daughter Bryce-Dallas.

Although the media reviews were mediocre, the media comprehensive review was only 59 points, the Rotten Tomatoes index was 71%, and the mass media averaged 6.7; but the 78% Popcorn Index, and The theater score of "a" is eye-catching, and countless people with childhood memories walked into the theater again, which completely detonated the box office.

In the end, the North American box office was 650 million, the fourth in film history; the global box office was 1.67 billion, and the fourth in film history.

"Jurassic World" and "Star Wars: The Force Awakens", which exploded the box office at the end of the year, shined on the big screen throughout the year, and jointly refreshed a series of historical records and wrote brilliant. This not only proves that the strategy of continuing classic works can be successful, but also proves that retro feelings have once again become an important weapon in the market.

Needless to say, this is a successful work.

Is it a great work for Renly personally? Obviously not.

As a rookie director, Colin Trevorrow had only made "Safety Not Guaranteed" before that, won a screenwriting award at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival, and that's all, but his role as The director's rhythm control is still far from Steven Spielberg's old-fashioned way. In the whole movie, the rhythm in the first half is too slow, and the rhythm in the second half is too crowded, which affects the look and feel, which is very fatal for commercial films.

In addition, the script also faces problems. The theme is too greedy, covering the greed of bio/chemical/weapons, the ambition of human beings to claim to be God, respecting the humanities of life and the importance of family belonging. It is too complicated and too trivial. It's all in one stroke, so it's not all told, and it ends up being a "Jurassic Park" monster movie -- but the rhythm control and climax/tide foreshadowing are not as good as Steven Spielberg's.

Still, that doesn't stop Renly from liking this work in the slightest!

In addition to nostalgia and memories, all kinds of dinosaurs appear in turns, which is eye-opening, proving once again that the movie is still one of the best dream machines on earth All can evolve into reality through light and shadow; at the same time, it proves once again that there are differences in culture and ideas, but the memories of nostalgic childhood are the same in the world, and those feelings are the same all over the world.

If Renly gets the chance to star in "Jurassic World," it would be a dream come true!

It has nothing to do with the quality of the work, nor with the box office of the movie, but only with childlike innocence, dreams, memories, and feelings.

The most important meaning is that you can be in the Jurassic Park created by Steven Spielberg, become part of dreaming, part of fantasy, and part of memory, which should be Every child's childhood dream of watching "Jurassic Park" or "Indiana Jones" or "Star Wars".

Sometimes there are things that just don't make sense.

But, it's just a hypothesis. If Renly proposes revisions for "Jurassic World", then he is willing to agree with what Steven has said before--

Refuse to chew too much.

The story should focus on one main line, break away from the thinking frame of monster disaster movies, and focus more on the interdependence between human beings and nature. If human beings try to become the creator, control all threats, and then rule the world, Then such ambition will often become the beginning of destruction. Dinosaurs are not the source of disaster, but human ambition.

Furthermore, focusing on the main line, spend more pen and ink to tell the story and outline the characters, treat the dinosaurs as a character in the story, reduce the cumbersome details, and make the main line more compact and solid, then the overall quality of the film and the viewing experience will be improved. Feelings will be fully elevated a level.

The most typical representative of success is Chris Pratt's career turning point before taking on "Jurassic World", "Guardians of the Galaxy".

A popcorn work with a weak plot and a simple story, but patiently spent a lot of details to outline the characters, created the images of the five members of the escort team, and promoted the development of the plot with the characters. The tide/recurring viewing effect, and spending time on the foreshadowing of laughter and Easter eggs, instantly detonated all word-of-mouth——

The media comprehensive review score is 76 points, the Rotten Tomatoes index is 91%, the Popcorn index is 92%, and the theater score is "a".

All the comments were popular across the board, and "Jurassic World" easily exploded; the box office also performed well, with 330 million in North America and 770 million in the world, becoming the most successful masterpiece of the first superhero movie in recent years. , what's more, the original comics are almost three-tier small characters that no one cares about, but they have achieved such a huge response after the adaptation, which is really gratifying.

In other words, in ordinary monster movies, in order to satisfy the audience's curiosity, monsters always become the protagonists, but monsters cannot show their psychology and changes, and they are often the objects of destruction, which also makes the series of movies in the creation of sequels. Above, it is often difficult to get out of the rut and fall into an infinite loop of similar patterns.

But if the monster can be turned into a part of the story, and more emphasis is put on returning to human beings, then the quality of the work will be completely transformed. "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is the most typical representative.

Of course, this is a paradox. Once it is too deep, or there are no monsters, the box office may not be good; in order to pursue the box office, humans must be reduced to supporting roles in monster movies.

Renly and Steven's considerations are easy on paper but difficult in practice. It's not without reason that a screenwriter's job is so hard.

Putting all this aside for the time being, as an audience, Renly personally likes the work "Jurassic World" very much; and as an actor, after the perspective and attitude have changed, Renly is also willing to focus on his childhood dreams and enter a Imagining the world and trying to see being the hero who saves the world should be really fun.

But Renly is no longer a fledgling rookie, he showed a shallow smile, "For me, this is an extremely rare opportunity; however, I'm not sure, for Ron Mayer, this is a rare opportunity. Good proposal."

Such a frank answer successfully made Steven chuckle and nodded, "At least, we have reached the first consensus. We can discuss the next things slowly."

Steven did not deny it head-on.

The subtext is that Ron Mayer is indeed rejecting Renly's joining.
