A sequel to a movie that fails is best if the original is successful, and the sequel sucks. Debate materials, 2 points for satisfaction.

1. The story is continuous. For example, The Godfather (Godfather 2 is an excellent sequel, and it is the only film in the history of Oscar awards that has won the best film, namely sequel to the movie), the Magical Trilogy (the director speaks directly, if you don't watch Episode 1 or 2, you won't understand Episode 3), the Harry Potter series, and the Infernal Affairs series. However, the D film is easily abandoned by the audience because of its more and more procrastination, just like the Star Wars series.

2. Chain type. The same character is faced with different tasks in sequels. There are many sequels of this type: Batman, Die Hard Rowen, Spider-Man, X-Men, raiders of the lost ark Trilogy, etc. The most classic is 7. Since 1962, nearly 2 films have been shot left, and the actors have changed left several times, even to the point where Yiga has set the sun type, actor modeling and trilogy. However, the most classic failure of the sequel should be Speed 2.

3. Extra-node branching type. The protagonists of the same class make use of the originality of the first episode or the characteristics of the characters themselves to make more novel and interesting plots. It's like The Brave Man's Game, Toy Story and Home alone. It's easier to innovate and make a sequel that is better than the first episode.

amid the long-awaited sound, the sequel of the 21 magic blockbuster The Lord of the Rings' Messenger, The towers of the Lord of the Rings, met the fans who had been impatient for a long time on December 18th, 22. This is also a highlight of the world film industry in the recent period. As far as I can remember, it's rare to see a sequel get so much expectation. And it invisibly reminds me of the sequel to the movie craze during this period.

For Hollywood, filming sequel to the movie has become a habit, so much so that a successful film will make the filmmakers feel that something has not been done without a sequel. In fact, sequel to the movie is a product of the gradual development of the film industry. Due to the extensive promotion of film industry culture in the commodity age, it began to come out of the cracks of "art" and become a commodity for the public to consume. In order to earn more profits from a film, the bosses of major production companies came up with a "good way" to save labor and effort in filming sequel to the movie. They either organized the original crew or hired another brilliant person to dig out the remaining commercial selling points from the original film, and use its original influence to reprocess and reproduce it to create a rich and delicious fast food to fill the audience's undigested hunger for the first episode.

after the 199s, the level of science and technology changed with each passing day, which made the film industry get unprecedented development. Especially in today's materialistic society, people want to seek to liberate their nervous nerves from entertainment to meet their own needs. Therefore, the pursuit of excitement and shock has become the main direction of a new generation of filmmakers (especially Hollywood filmmakers), which also laid the foundation for the proliferation of sequel to the movie. When the floodgate of the 21st century opened with a bang, sequels from old raw materials were also swarming, and a batch of sequels piled up in front of the audience. On the one hand, it greatly satisfied the material and spiritual needs of the audience, on the other hand, it disturbed people's audio-visual, which was a mixed blessing. We can get a glimpse of the recent sequel to the movie in batches.

Many filmmakers are eager for success, and want to make a sequel before the first episode has gained a foothold in the audience's mind, so as to gain short-term market returns. Doing so hurts people and hurts themselves. Not only will it be difficult for them to achieve the expected goal, but the audience will also turn their stomach and lose interest in the film after watching it, leading to the failure of the film in the market. Masterpieces of this kind of movies include the sequel to Jaws, Rocky 2-5, Speed 2: A Tour of Wyndell Dichinson and so on. The recent American Psychiatry 2 completely subverted the 1999 American Psychiatry. The whole film became a bloodthirsty killing exhibition. The motive force of film creation is gone, replaced by a vulgar and ugly performance. For the audience, it is cheating, and the filming itself is also a move without professional ethics. Another film that deserves our "attention" is Halloween: Resurrection. The reason why we should "pay attention" to it is to remind the audience that when you smell it in the streets and lanes, you should walk away as early as possible, so as not to find out after a full meal that someone is hanging a sheep's head, selling dog meat, mixing water into the meat, dripping medicine into the water, making people vomit and diarrhea, and finally even have no strength to scold it. The King of the Scorpion, which was released in the first half of 22, is slightly better than the two mentioned above. After all, its positive collection has some origins, and it has achieved good box office results. Moreover, it is accompanied by exotic scenery, which will not make people feel too boring. You can think of it as a childish joke when you were a child, because the film makes people seem to have returned to their junior high school, addicted to the cartoon-like violence and jokes without aftertaste. However, the formula of its raw materials is good, except for some pepper, essence and other things. If you don't want indigestion, just look at it and don't have to eat it.

Some movies were not optimistic before they were unearthed, but they were very popular after they were released. This kind of unintentional success has made the filmmakers get a treasure and start planning its sequel. Robert De Niro and billy crystal, two superstars, pulled over (1999) unexpectedly won a good reputation at the box office and reviews in that year, but the sequel three years later was not satisfactory, as if all the essence had been used up in the first episode, and the original hilarious chemical effects did not play the same role in the sequel, giving people the feeling that it was not as easy as in the first episode, but rather blunt. Spy kids 2: A Dream Lost Island and Santa Claus 2, which were released in the second half of 22, were not bad at the box office, but failed to achieve the expected results. It is not surprising that both films lack a rich and independent script, the plot develops slowly and remains unchanged, the characters are simple and boring, and they end in failure. The above three sequel to the movie movies either let a few talented actors jump around in an idiot script and waste resources; Either copy the successful idea and turn it into a bad ending. And "Spy 3: Gold Member" is simply a master of failure. Typical vulgar toilet jokes soap operas make people feel uncomfortable. However, the subversion and irony of culture in the film are still worth watching, which is just to finish what was not finished in the last episode. Elf Mouse Brother 2 is a film that is difficult to locate. No matter whether it is good or not, people will make irresponsible remarks. To put it abstractly, this is not an ugly movie, but compared with the first episode, it seems to be superfluous.

"Work of Hope"

Compared with those mentioned above, some studios are still economical, smart and affordable. The purpose of these people making movies is also to make money, but they will make them very carefully. They always put sequels on the screen after a period of brewing. The positive episodes of these sequels are often sensational successes, such as Die Hard Rowen series (1987, 199 and 1995) and Back to the Future series (1985, 1988 and 199). Although they all take the commercial route, the creators spare no effort to find suitable ways to create a novel audio-visual space. The Men in Black, which was released in 1997, conquered the audience with its unique plot design that was tense, exciting and full of comedy. After five years of careful preparation, its sequel appeared in BLACKPINK. The two protagonists are still will smith, who is in the limelight, and tommy lee jones, who is old and young. In this episode, more stars (I didn't see Michael Jackson's alien modeling) and more exciting entertainment elements were gathered, and a enchanting girl was deployed, which further expanded the market appeal of the film and achieved quite good commercial returns. The movie Red Dragon is a prequel to the classic horror film The Silence of the Lambs. But the film is closer to Hannibal in 21. In the sense of narrative hierarchy, it is even more than Hannibal. The occurrence and development of events are closely linked, which makes people feel depressed, and finally makes people feel inexplicable sadness after the truth comes out. This is due to the fact that the directors designed a subtle plot, but also created a human world with rich texture, which raised the spiritual level of the film, deepened the theme, and raised it to the height of sociology, giving people a shock. Another work worth mentioning is Blade Warrior 2 in early 22. This sequel completely surpasses the first episode in plot development, scene layout and action design. It looks more like an exciting Chinese action movie, especially the Tsui Hark-style action scene shooting schedule. The exaggerated style and good visual image in the film all reveal the creator's passion. Willis Snape was even portrayed as a hero of western classicism. Of course, too much violence, blood and little ideological value in the film are also the main obstacles for it to become an atmosphere.

"The best sequel"

"Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp". I believe this proverb has been heard. If the three sequels mentioned above are compared to "small fish" or "shrimp", then the next four films will be the "big fish" in sequel to the movie.

The Messenger of the Rings, the first installment of The Two Towers of the Lord of the Rings, was an eye-opener for fans and experts in 21, and there were constant praises. The superb stunt, magnificent scene composition, unconventional expression and a profound human theme in the film have always been talked about by people. Although only four technical awards were won in the Oscar competition, this did not weaken the audience's expectations for this sequel.

Almost at the same time as last year, The Two Towers of the Lord of the Rings arrived as scheduled. In fact, the founders of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy created an unprecedented audio-visual space for the audience, and presented one epoch-making classic after another to the film world. This episode continues the amazing imagination in the last episode, with spectacular scenes emerging one after another and rich and gorgeous pictures. But it is by no means an endless pile of big scenes, and you will be intoxicated by the majestic beauty. Every beautiful scene in the film can be easily transformed into narrative motivation, which makes people convinced by the immediate things. Compared with the first film, this film is more dramatic and the characters are a little exaggerated, but it will never become a cartoon. Each character is similar to the original description, the scene of the story is quite realistic, and the narrative background is darker. In some places, what is not included in Tolkien's original work is also included because of the modern humanistic concept. The only regret is that we have to wait another year to see the end of it.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, like The Lord of the Rings, is also adapted from a novel that sells well all over the world. The original novel has established a perfect and tall image in the hearts of children all over the world, and the film is naturally favored. Chris columbus, the director of Home alone, has become an iconic figure in today's children's films because he is good at creating a warm atmosphere and going deep into the world of virginity. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets continues the image style of the previous episode, and it is still full of whimsy and absurdity. It is more atmospheric in visual effect. There are not many breakthroughs in the development of the plot, but we are still looking for and exploring in a dream world where risks and interests coexist. But this is enough for naive children. What they want is an exciting and novel fairy tale journey. Creating "wonders" is a magic weapon for children's movies. The series of Harry Potter has made great efforts in this respect, with elaborate props, varied computer stunts and pleasant background music. All this is like waving and shouting to thousands of "Harry Potter fans" all over the world. The film has indeed done this. After the film was released, the box office soared, and it is basically a foregone conclusion to be shortlisted as the highest-grossing film this year.

Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones has lost its vitality under the aura of The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. Think about the spectacular scene of crowds in front of the cinema when the "Star Wars" series was released in the past, and then look at the box office of this episode of "Star Wars", which inevitably has a bitter taste. Maybe it was a mistake for Lucas to go back to his old job and build a big building after 2 years to shoot the prequel to the Star Wars series. In this film, there is no surprise, no suddenness and no luster. The narrative of the whole film is flat, and the cutting of the scene state is limited to simple explanation, just like a running account, without the narrative highlights of wonderful pen and flowers. But don't forget, computer stunts are Lucas' magic weapon, and this time is no exception. The war in the last twenty minutes of the film is really magnificent-the desert yellow sand and the wilderness Gobi as the main battlefields have a unique flavor, which makes people feel excited. Its scale is also reflected in the sense of space created by Lucas: there are fighters on the top, horses and horses on the bottom, mountains near and mountains far away from each other, so that the picture is no longer as simple and lack of hierarchy as the starry sky.

7 Died on the Day of Choice is the 2th episode of 7 series. As it coincides with the 4th anniversary of the birth of "7", this film is also regarded as a "tribute film" of the 7 series. 7 series is the best in sequel to the movie. It is a model of sequel to the movie. There is no film in the history of world cinema that can last for forty years on the screen like James Bond. In Die Another Day, Bond, played by pierce brosnan, is still handsome, charming and talented. The plot still follows the "world route", and the confusing clues and fierce scenes bring out the best in each other. The most valuable thing is that the image of the female character-"Bond Girl" has been consolidated and promoted. The outstanding performance of Oscar winner Halle Berry makes the film no longer a one-man show by James Bond. She highlights the heroine's shrewd and brave personality and gives the film a sense of the times. Besides, we can't find any new breakthrough in this "tribute film". The producer still pursues sensory stimulation, and even gives Bond some outrageous special functions (such as "turtle breath solution"), which makes people laugh.

Looking at the recently released sequel to the movie, we can get a general understanding of some production rules in sequel to the movie today, such as intense pursuit and popularity, and keen on prequel shooting. But its ultimate goal is to serve the film commercially. After all, it is unrealistic to make a sequel for the sake of art like The Godfather. What's more, the principle that Hollywood believes in is: film is an industry first, then an art, the market is the biggest politics, and art should serve the market. This is also the fundamental law of Hollywood's prosperity to this day. What we can do is to passively accept it, because we are also enjoyment, and the initiative lies in ourselves. In the future.
