Chapter 776 Remake and Restart
A thousand-mile embankment collapsed in an ant nest.
No matter how classic "Future Travel" is, no matter how much the creative team apologizes and clears up the relationship, it can't reverse this wave of word-of-mouth decline.
The box office suffered heavy losses!
Although the only areas affected by public opinion are Asian countries such as China and Neon. In North America, "Future Travel" has already been released, and the impact is not very big.
but……
Huaxia is the second largest ticket warehouse in the world, and Neon is the third largest ticket warehouse. If you can't earn box office in these two ticket warehouses, what's the use of North America alone?
Therefore, the closure is a foregone conclusion.
Meng Lang's damaging move wasn't too smart in a way. But no matter who you are, you have to admit that this trick is very effective and the effect is great!
The biggest competitor in the National Day movie was exposed to this kind of scandal before its release. Due to the influence of public opinion, it can no longer pose a threat to "Transformers".
The only opponent left is "Xidapuben"!
Although the cast of this movie is quite luxurious, Meng Lang doesn't mind competing on the same stage. Because the themes of the two are different, even if they are released at the same time, there is no conflict between the two.
Not to mention!
The advantages of Transformers are really great!
With the help of "Future Travel", all the movie tickets were sold out on the opening day before Transformers was released. Even if you wait three days in line, you still can't buy a ticket.
This shows how enthusiastic the "tightrope" people are.
Of course, their enthusiasm has limits. After all, the movie hasn't been released yet, and many people are worried that a good IP will be ruined if it is changed to a live-action version.
Especially the look of Brother Zhuzi!
Regarding the image of the "real-life version of Brother Zhuzi", PD officials have been hiding it and refused to reveal any information. This has also led to many people not wanting to go to the cinema for fear of being disappointed.
Why is this so?
Not to mention the damn Meng Heizhu. On the eve of the film's production, it was announced that the model of the "Bumblebee" would be changed from the "Camaro" to the "Diaton Dragon", which chilled the hearts of a large number of die-hard Hornet fans.
Although the official statement has been made repeatedly!
The main reason for the change of Hornet model is that the original sponsor was unwilling to renew the contract. In order to control costs, they had to find other sponsoring car companies.
But fans still feel heartbroken.
After looking at Fengyun Camaro models for so many years, everyone has already assumed that this car is the Hornet.
Who can accept the sudden change of car model?
In order to appease worried fans, at 9 a.m. on October 1, before the premiere of "Transformers", the film's director Yan Tao posted several stills and posters on Weibo!
Among them are Brother Zhuzhu and Megatron!
Oh ho!
The boys' eyes lit up when they saw Brother Zhuzi, who had sharp edges and corners and was more delicate than the animated version.
Not bad?
Although some design elements have been changed, the "animated version" shape has been restored as much as possible. Brother Zhuzi is still the same brother Zhuzi, and has not become a stranger.
Love it, love it!
Just for this reason, the movie is a must-see.
"fine……"
Meng Lang was very lucky that when he first decided to make the "Transformers" animation, he made the "Leader's Proof" series in advance instead of the old G1 animation.
In the Proof of the Leader animation series, King Kong's appearance was born out of the "live-action movie". So the two are exactly the same design style.
If the "G1 old version" of Transformers were made in advance, the look would be too different from the real-life version. I'm used to the "simple and square" shape of the G1, but it feels awkward when I look at the live version.
When the early live-action Transformers movies were released, there were more complaints about the inconsistency between King Kong's appearance and the style of G1 than about "the plot is crappy."
The explosive shell was almost sprayed to death by the "steel wire"!
Fortunately, that didn't happen.
The first time I got to know Transformers was through the animated series "Proof of the Leader". Because of this, the "tightrope" in this world is relatively receptive to the live-action version of King Kong.
They also tend to buy it!
According to feedback submitted by theaters from various places, the attendance rate at the premiere of "Transformers" reached an astonishing 100%! All the fans who booked tickets entered the theater as scheduled.
Pretty amazing data!
What is even more astonishing than this is the praise received from various media, film critics and wire actors after the premiere.
"Although it is a cheesy plot that relies entirely on special effects. But you have to admit that in terms of special effects, Transformers has achieved the ultimate!"
"When Optimus Prime shouted "Autobots go", did you see the close-up of Brother Zhuzi's transformation? Oh my god, that scene was so shocking!"
"Megatron?"
"Brother Zhentian can't do it! He's a fighter. He transformed in a snap. He didn't even have a close-up. It was lonely watching the whole time."
"Moreover, the real-life version of Brother Zhentian seems to have been weakened. This strength is not as strong as the legendary King Kong. It should be at the entry level of a leader."
"Bumblebee's new look?"
"How can I put it, you can still watch it so-so. Although I personally prefer the original version of the Camaro, the production team has to be careful. Since the Dia Group supports Wire with money, I will also give it a try. new model!"
"Don't worry about the plot! Officials have said that the world view of the movie is different from that of the animation. This is a Transformers story in a parallel world. Just watch it for fun and don't complain about the protagonist!"
In the video, Yang Mingjin took a sip of water and said: "That's all I can say about the Transformers movie for now. I just watched one, and I didn't understand many parts. I'll watch it again and come back to give you a detailed explanation. "
"Just a rant by the way!"
"You guys are real dogs! So many tickets, all sold out? I'm buying tickets now, but I can only buy tickets for next week. It's really annoying!"
"hhh!"
"It is recommended to buy imax tickets. China Overseas Triumph International still has tickets. Lao Yang can consider it."
"You guys are so awesome! It surpassed Future Travel by 300 million in the box office list!"
"Don't mention that disgusting movie, I want to vomit when I see this word. Hot chicken movie, go to hell!"
The moment the barrage passed, everyone thought that this episode of "Film and Television Observation" was about to end. Unexpectedly, Lao Yang in the video changed the topic and mentioned another work that has been ignored by everyone.
"As we all know, Lao Yang has some connections in the PD and can get a lot of inside information. Not long ago, my good buddy from the PD revealed a piece of news to me."
"The Metal Heroes series is about to be remade!"
Lao Yang hasn't woken up yet?
Everyone was confused when they heard this.
Hasn’t the Metal Heroes series been restarted long ago? PD Neon Division's "Cosmic Detective Trilogy" is almost finished filming, so why not restart it?
Unexpectedly, everyone misunderstood.
Yang Mingjin coughed and said: "Please note! I'm talking about a remake, not a reboot! I know that the barrage must be a string of question marks now, but I can't go into details yet."
"I can only tell you that remakes and reboots have different meanings within PD. The new metal heroes have a completely different route from PD Neon, and may open up a new model."
“We’ll talk about the specific content next time.”
