In China, there are two Hollywood sci-fi movies worth looking forward to in 1 month, Passengers and Coming, among which the Oscar winner? Big cousin? Jennifer. Lawrence and? Star master? Chris? The Passenger, starring Pratt, has attracted worldwide attention.

So, is it possible for them to break through the category of fans and win the favor of the public?

On the Effect of Intellectual Property Rights

The IP popularity of China movies has declined. In fact, in Hollywood, sequels (including prequels and movies), adaptations and remakes account for half of each year. There is nothing shameful about chasing IP, but IP is not everything. There are many failed sequels in Hollywood every year, and super IP adaptations like Assassin's Creed and Warcraft are also unsatisfactory and even disastrous.

To be fair, the overall level of Grand Theft Auto I is up to standard. As a typical space drama, it is worthy of the golden signboard of Star Wars in plot, characterization and scene creation. Although "Grand Theft Auto I" has narrowed the distance from reality by choosing the heroine, joining the role of American minority, alluding to the war on terror in the film and reflecting Nazi history more truly, it still cannot escape the old problems of "Star Wars" series, such as illusory expenses, rough plot and difficulty in real investment. Star Wars movies have always been inferior to The Avengers in attracting audiences aged 18-29.

Intriguingly, from Iron Man in 2009 to The Avengers's global bestseller in 20 12, Marvel Comics's movie universe? You have me and I have you. Not only did DC Comics and Warner follow suit to develop the DC movie universe, but Disney and Lucasfilm also planned the Star Wars universe map on 20 13. Biography of Solo and Biography of Bounty Hunters. However, the lower-than-expected box office of "Grand Theft Auto 1" proves the disadvantages of the loss of attractiveness and freshness after IP over-exploitation, and may even affect the prospects of future series.

IP has advantages and disadvantages. Although The Legend of Star Wars has a certain mass base in China, it also means the threshold for watching movies. If you don't know the true story of the first six films of Star Wars and the decisive role of the Death Star in the whole story, it will be difficult for ordinary viewers to get involved? Grand Theft Auto one? Our tragic mission. For a long time, although the Star Trek series has a deep subculture background in Europe and America, the cold reception at the China box office also shows the unavoidable limitations of IP.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Star Wars culture has been facing the dilemma of intergenerational replacement in China. Most of the first generation of Star Wars fans in China were from the 1970s, and they may also be the largest and most hardcore group of Star Wars fans in China. However, according to the report of 20 15, the main audience of China cinemas is from the post-80s to the post-80s, accounting for 74%. Overseas, Star Wars culture, like football culture, is a father-son model, driven by the old to the young. However, China Star Wars fans seem to have an awkward post-70s and post-80s date, and the post-90s and post-00s fans are relatively weak at present.

On the basis of IP, passengers released on June 65438+ 10/3 and Coming released on June 20+65438 are not dominant. The script of Passenger is original, but it has no IP foundation, but its script was selected for Hollywood in 2007? Blacklist? (blacklist)!

Being on this blacklist can be said to be an honor and a potential stock certification, because the script that can be on the list belongs to? Optimistic? However, due to various reasons, it is temporarily impossible to shoot, such as The Fantasy Drifting of Pi, fistful of dollars, The Hunger Games, etc., which have all been blacklisted, and the director of Passenger Morten? Is it because Taidum thinks? The script is so wonderful, do you have to shoot it? Only agree with the director? Is it a love epic in a space movie, telling a love story that can make the audience laugh first and then cry? .

This creative idea, which is a mixture of love and space adventure, is fresh and dexterous. Can be said to be quite rare in the history of Hollywood blockbusters. No wonder it's blacklisted in Hollywood. In the moment of blindly seeking big, it became a clean stream. For the general audience, especially the female audience, there is no doubt that there is another choice to enter the cinema. No matter in Europe or Australia, including Thailand, Taiwan Province Province of China and other Asian regions, Passenger overwhelmed Grand Theft Auto I, Assassin's Creed and other big IP movies in the first week of its release, further demonstrating that creative and well-made non-IP movies actually have more potential than rigid IP movies.

Of course, Passenger is more than just an epic of space love. On the one hand, it inherits the optimistic spirit of exploring the universe from Star Trek to Avatar, and takes human exploration of other planets as the starting point of the story. On the other hand, through an accidental event in the process of exploring the universe, it reflects the eternal complexity and touching of human nature when human beings encounter disasters in the grand process. The hero and heroine in the film, like Jack and Ruth in Titanic, actually have class superiority and inferiority in first class and lower class. It can be said that science fiction reveals the present reality, so every choice they make for their own destiny and the whole crew, including their views and attitudes towards each other, whether selfish or narrow-minded or selfless, has profound meanings to chew.

"Coming" is a big story. Adapted from the short story "The Story of Your Life" by Jiang Fengnan, an American Chinese science fiction writer, who won the 1998 nebula award. It can be said that it has a high-quality IP foundation, but science fiction literature is still a minority culture in China, and The Story of Your Life is not popular or even obscure to some extent. Although it is a story about contact with aliens, this contact is like simple entertainment on Independence Day. It is more based on linguistics, thinking and philosophy, and the narrative of the film disrupts the time order. It is estimated that many viewers will be confused, which seems to be more suitable for science fiction fans and young artists.

On Visual Attraction

From Star Wars to Avatar, science fiction movies mean burning money. The cost determines the visual quality.

Among these three films, The Legend of Star Wars is ahead of 200 million dollars. Friends who have seen this film can also realize from a large number of spectacular special effects scenes. Apart from the war scenes, this is like the realistic space lens of National Geographic, which can be said to be very amazing.

Passenger is $65,438 +0. 1 100 million, a large part of which is used for special effects such as space scenes, spacecraft and gorgeous interiors. As far as the picture is concerned, Passenger confuses the luxury cruise ship of Titanic, the magnificent universe of Starcraft and the thrilling rescue of Gravity to some extent.

In addition, as far as visual enjoyment is concerned, the interior decoration of the spaceship in Passenger has both high-tech sense and classical luxury, which can be said to satisfy the China audience's pursuit of high-taste life on the screen.

Although the images of alien spacecraft landing around the earth are shocking, the cost of "Coming" is only 47 million US dollars, even lower than the average investment level of Hollywood commercial films. In other words, the cost determines that it is impossible to sell special effects scenes. As far as the trailer is concerned, it is not difficult to make the special effects of the film, and many overseas audiences have suggested that this is a small-scale science fiction film.

At the star coffee shop

Although stars can't guarantee that they will sell tickets, they are still an important factor in determining the ordinary audience to buy tickets, which explains why their pay always reaches sky-high prices.

Among the three films, Passenger is undoubtedly the most dazzling star and the highest paid: you are the best actress in the Oscar, supported by the blockbuster series The Hunger Games, and the 27-year-old Hollywood diva Jennifer? Lawrence got a sky-high salary of $20 million. After Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World became popular quickly, Clara? Pratt's salary also rose to $654.38+0.2 million.

As a post-90s Oscar winner, Jennifer? Lawrence is also one of the stars with the highest box office returns in Hollywood. For every dollar she earns, she can bring back 17.7 dollars to the movie. So it's not surprising that she gets a salary or a dividend. She is also one of the most recognized young Hollywood actresses in China. Even overseas audiences have reported that the face value of the big cousin in the film can be said to be the pinnacle.

Although there is no superstar in "arrival", there are two starring Amy? Adams and Jeremy. Reina is a quasi-Oscar-level figure: Adams is a recognized acting school in Hollywood, with four nominations for Best Supporting Actress and one nomination for Best Actress; Reina in The Avengers? Hawkeye? One corner is familiar to the audience in China, and he was nominated for an Oscar for hurt locker. Although their acting skills are good, it is a pity that the box office appeal is quite limited.

Due to IP strength and production investment, Star Wars movies generally don't use expensive superstars, and The Legend of Star Wars also follows this tradition. Before, most of the male and female protagonists acted in art films, and the pay was not too high. However, the popularity of the movie starring is tied together, which may not be as high as that of Jiang Wen or Donnie Yen.

On Emotional Factors

To measure a science fiction film, there are three very important points: the world outlook structure, the corresponding visual embodiment, and the integration of narrative elements.

A successful sci-fi movie must be able to make the ordinary audience produce different degrees of emotional projection and singing. Therefore, emotional narrative elements have become very important, just as affection is to Star Wars, Star Wars and Independence Day, love is to Avatar, Inception and Robot Story, and friendship is to aliens ET and Guardians of the Galaxy. Without the above emotional elements, these sci-fi films will not only be eclipsed, but even the storyline will not be established, which shows the importance of emotional elements to a sci-fi film.

Among these three films, The Legend of Star Wars continues the family context of the Star Wars series, with the daughter of the Death Star creator looking for her father as the main line and the passengers as the breakthrough point, and discusses the lonely proposition and fearless sacrifice spirit of human beings in the space colonial adventure, while Coming takes the mother-daughter affection as the potential theme.

From the point of view of ordinary audience, although family ties constitute an important narrative element in The Legend of Star Wars, they are not touching or complicated. The villain is your father? This design cannot be mentioned in the same breath.

The love element in Passengers can still attract more female audiences. Moreover, in China, women can often decide what movies their partner's men choose to watch (although Passengers is suspected by some viewers of having straight male cancer in the plot). Besides, although they are good at teasing on screen? Star master? Chris? Palat brings a lot of comedy to the film, but he treats Jennifer in the film? It is estimated that some of Lawrence's practices will also lead to extensive and even heated discussions on the true meaning of human nature and love. For example, is it necessary to sacrifice another person's happiness in order to stop being lonely or get love?

As mentioned earlier, behind the love in Passengers, it actually embodies eternal humanity. After that, the hero and heroine tried their best to save the crew on board, which is a torture of human nature: is it worth risking their lives for others? Under the background of human exploitation of the universe, Passenger is actually concerned with more realistic, authentic, universal and touching values.

"Coming" tells the deep affection of mother and daughter through a sci-fi coat, which is relatively complicated and introverted. It seems that it will be difficult to impress the ordinary audience. At present, China audience is more suitable for direct expression.

Passenger combines many elements of comedy, action, science fiction, love and so on in China film market. With its incomparable superstar lineup, it will undoubtedly have a huge box office impact on The Legend of Star Wars. To a certain extent, due to the attraction of superstars, touching love elements and visual enjoyment, passengers who take into account high entertainment and profound humanity may win the favor of the audience more than realistic Star Wars, and
