Chapter 629 Gods and Demigods

"Welcome, Ryan. Welcome, Natalie."

"Hello……"

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the theater, Ryan saw the Warner Bros. Gerald and other executives who were coming up, and shook hands with Natalie one by one.

This is a small theater located inside the Warner Studios, with only about one hundred seats. The test set for "Wonder Woman" is selected here. In addition to a group of Warner Bros. executives and crew creators, there are also many well-known Hollywood film industry and senior movie fans specially invited.

"Congratulations, Ryan."

While walking into the theater, Gerald said, "Disney has another big-selling animation series."

“It’s too early to talk about the series.”

Holding Natalie, Ryan smiled faintly, "It depends on Pixar's follow-up arrangements."

Just like "Looking for Nemo", Pixar Studios will temporarily put "Superman Family" on hold. Its director Brad Bird has launched "Rat King" with John Lasette after a short vacation.

"But the Superman Family's results are good enough."

A middle-aged man with long face chased him from behind. It was Hollywood's gold medal producer Jerry Brookheimer. He said with emotion, "I really envy you, Ryan. "Superman Family" only took three weeks and the box office in North America exceeded 200 million US dollars. This is the best box office movie this year except "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith".

"This shows that Pixar is excellent enough." Ryan held the other party's hand, and Gerald beside him said, "But you gave Pixar the funds and life to develop. We really should have competed with you for Pixar Studio."

"Do I need to use a time shuttle to send you back?"

The people walking together laughed at the same time. In their eyes, Pixar Studio was marked with a distinct Ryan mark. Without Ryan, there would be no Pixar Studio's success today.

After entering the screening room, Ryan and others sat in the middle. As soon as he sat down, someone greeted Natalie.

"Hello, Ryan."

"I haven't seen you for a long time, Gail."

Anyway, this is Natalie's friend, and Ryan is still very polite.

Since it is a test set, the movie is the key point. This superhero movie that has been released for more than a month has not been completed yet. There is no opening in front, and I think there will be no subtitles in the future, and even some parts of the soundtrack have not been added.

Fortunately, the movie's special effects look like they should be completed, and the effect is quite good.

The beginning of the film naturally explains the origin of Princess Diana, but unlike the traditional ordinary people who become heroes, Princess Diana has an extraordinary identity. She is the princess of the fighting nation of Amazon and was blessed by the gods of Mount Olympus.

Many Greek myths are borrowed here, such as the legend of Thehusseus cheating on marriage to the Amazon Queen Hippolyta, and then the Amazon female warrior attacking Athens.

However, Here Theseus has become the God of War Ares, the son of Zeus who can absorb power from killing and bring endless chaos to the world.

Hippolyta defeated Ares. Zeus and Hera prevented her from taking revenge. In return, Ares was imprisoned with divine power and became her prisoner forever. The Amazons also obtained the paradise island without men, and were newborns born from the union of men and women.

She is Princess Diana, Hippolyta rubs mud into a baby. The Greek gods gave blessings, and the Wonder Woman was born.

The timeline is brought back to modern times. Princess Diana grew up and became a sexy and beautiful tall girl. She inherited all the advantages of Amazon descent and learned fighting from Artemis. She is an extremely powerful female warrior who has never experienced the world.

Until one day, a wounded American fighter jet broke into the secret paradise island, and Wonder Woman ushered in the moment of her birth.

In order to send Steve, an American pilot who accidentally entered Paradise Island, after a series of selections, Princess Diana became the representative of the Amazons to perform this mission. At the same time, Ares, who had been imprisoned for thousands of years, bewitched the guard of Porsephone and escaped from the cage. Diana, who went out, had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of eradicating him.

Unlike the comics, Wonder Woman wore Greek dark gold combat boots and tight armor, just Penai the star-stripe flag logo on her chest, and also obtained the iconic stealth aircraft, Queen's crown, Mantra lasso and invulnerable bracelets and other equipment.

The plot of the film is not complicated. Although most of the time takes place in the modern society in the United States, it rarely shows the conflict between Princess Diana and modern society. In terms of handling the relationship between men and women, many remarks that are too feminist in terms of the relationship between men and women are reduced, especially when she is playing the role of playboy Steve, even when facing the other party's teasing, she does not violently, but uses some clever and nonsense means to punish her.

As a senior director and the director who created Batman's glory, Tim Burton knew very well what the psychological bottom line of male audiences lies.

Especially the enemies they face are the Amazon traitor Porsephone and Ares who escaped from the cage.

On the other hand, this is a battle between a group of gods and demigods. It’s just that the power of these gods is not as powerful as the legend.

Tim Burton also grasped this feature, and several fighting scenes were handled extremely well, using huge destructive power to exaggerate the intensity of the battle.

For example, after Diana was thrown out by Ares's bullhead killer, she could easily smash the trucks on the streets of New York and crash several walls. The fight was completely earth-shaking, and the destructive power was not something that humans could have.

This is because the movie has relatively weakened the ability of Wonder Woman. At most, it is a demigod among demigods. If you follow the comics settings, it is not impossible to destroy the entire Washington in the end by fighting Ares.

Like the new century superhero movie, the story is faster and the enemy is clear at a glance. The final competition between the two sides is just combat power. Princess Diana, blessed by the protagonist's halo, will definitely not lose to Ares, who has recovered his divine power by Hades.

As for the traitor, he will definitely be killed.

The final battlefield was placed in Washington. In addition to Princess Diana and Playboy Steve, it is also necessary to show the role played by the US military. The American soldiers fought against Ares' fear troops, and the battlefield between Wonder Woman and Ares was even in front of the Lincoln Memorial and under the Washington Monument.

Among them, in the Lincoln Memorial Hall, the head of the Lincoln statue was twisted off by the powerful Ares...

Of course, Hollywood's favorite White House is indispensable. Under the halo of Ares blessing, all kinds of thugs rushed into the lawn of the White House, and the US president was in danger.

At the critical moment, the Wonder Woman, who killed the traitor, stepped forward and fought a desperate battle with Ares. The long-legged beauty in the film was beaten a little badly. Fortunately, her body was strong enough. Even if the armor was damaged, the exposed area attracted the attention of the men.

I have to say that the shots taken by Tim Burton fully demonstrate Gale Gado's two amazing long legs. This alone will probably help the young Jewish actress develop a large number of fans. Even her flat breasts look enough to match her slender figure with the modification of armor and later CG technology.

As the last battle in the film's top scene, there is naturally no lack of gorgeous colors. Ares's warhammer and Wonder Woman's Mantra Lasso flew around, and after the God of War absorbed the energy of killing, he could also summon the lightning in the sky, which was faintly a bit like the style of Thunder God in Nordic myth...

Wonder Woman is naturally not an opponent of the god of Mount Olympia, but her body blessed by Zeus and Hera is strong enough, and she is even better than Ares in terms of agility, and she still has a killer move at critical moments.

Her pair of invulnerable bracelets can transform into invincible swords.

With the undefeated spirit and flexible skills of Xiaoqiang, Wonder Woman finally cut off Ares' head with this sword, without giving him a chance to pray to Zeus.

Justice will eventually defeat evil. Wonder Woman will definitely fight for America, and the whole world will always be saved.

So, Wonder Woman stayed in America and became a great young woman who bravely acted. The film adopts a subtle and vague treatment of her relationship with Steve. The two are further ahead of their friends, but slightly further away from their lovers.

I just don’t know if Warner will follow the settings in the comics. In the future sequels, Wonder Woman and Bruce Wayne will have a romantic journey, although Batman is an absolute super pit for women.

In addition, at the end of the film, space is left for the sequel, and the Wonder Woman, who has become an office worker, meets her mortal enemy, Leopard Girl in the comics...

As long as the box office can reach Warner's psychological bottom line, I believe that sequels are not a problem. After all, comics movies do not expect box office profits.

There is nothing surprising about this film. Everything is going on like a well-engraved template. It can be said to be a typical superhero movie. This style of movie is actually the least risky way to deal with it.

Looking for innovation and change means huge risks and an unpredictable future, not to mention that this is a female superhero movie.

To put it bluntly, this is a commercial film made according to the current popular tastes.

After the test session, it was already noon and there was a small party, and Warner would also ask for opinions from participants.

"Say that..."

At the cocktail party, facing Gerald's sincere eyes, Ryan had to say a few words, "Tim handled it very cleverly, this is not a compliment..."

He raised his wine glass to Tim Burton, "There is no discomfort in Wonder Woman's lines and attitude towards men!"

"Maybe the box office of this movie won't be super big."
Chapter completed!
