This director only makes bad movies

"Here's a movie ticket, Cameron's Titanic." Robert handed the money to the conductor.

"Okay." The conductor handed Robert the remaining change and movie ticket after buying the ticket.

Robert is the director of the "Dragonfly Man" series of superhero movies, and his status in the industry is not much worse than Cameron's.

This time I came to the theater to watch "Titanic 2" mainly for the purpose of learning.

A good director will basically watch popular movies once. On the one hand, he can learn from the technical experience of his peers, and on the other hand, he can grasp the audience's taste, so as to avoid the movies he makes unknowingly falling behind and hitting the streets.

This time, Cameron made "Titanic 2" so popular that Robert felt so itchy that he went directly to the theater to buy tickets as soon as the movie was released.

He was curious about how Cameron would make "Titanic 2" and whether he could learn from this movie.

He had also seen the world-famous "Titanic", which left a deep shock on him and also improved his understanding of movies to a new level.

After "Titanic 2" was released fifteen years later, he wanted to know what breakthroughs Cameron had made in shooting techniques and special effects technology.

After getting the ticket, Robert looked at the movie name carefully and nodded with confidence after confirming that it was "Titanic 2".

Not only did he make this move, but many viewers who bought tickets also made this move to ensure that they were watching the right movie.

The reason for this is mainly Xu Nan's fault. In the past, when watching movies, everyone only needed to take a rough look at the movie title, and there was no need to worry about watching the wrong movie.

Now Xu Nan has created the category of copycat movies. Audiences must be more cautious when buying tickets to avoid watching the wrong movie.

In this way, Xu Nan abruptly brought the innocent atmosphere of the film industry down a level, and the trust that the audience once had in theaters was gone forever.

Walking into the theater, Robert took a look inside and found that the theater was almost full. Judging from the continuous influx of audiences, it was only a matter of time before the seats were filled.

Robert is not surprised. This is Cameron's work, and it is also the sequel to Titanic. The promotion is very strong. It is normal for the theater to be full, but it is abnormal to be dissatisfied.

But this doesn’t mean anything. What really determines the box office of a movie is the quality of the movie itself.

Take the movie "Titanic" as an example. After the movie was released, the box office set a record in the first week. Then it bucked the trend and rose. It was released continuously for a long time and even set a record.

The reason for this is that this movie is so exciting. After watching it, many viewers couldn't help but buy tickets to watch it a second and third time. Many viewers couldn't help but recommend this movie to people around them. Movie.

Later, "Titanic" would be re-released every Valentine's Day, and the box office every time it was released was not low. There were even cases where the box office of a newly released movie was not as good as that of "Titanic" that was released multiple times.

Because this movie is so classic.

It's so classic that Robert, a director who had some conflicts with Cameron, couldn't help but buy a ticket to watch "Titanic 2" as soon as it was released.

He couldn't wait to relive the touch, shock, and emotional satisfaction that watching a movie brought him.

The theater lights dimmed and the name Titanic 2 appeared on the screen.

Huh?

With a film director's keen sense of smell, Robert immediately noticed something was wrong.

You may not know that the name of the movie is actually very particular.

The movie title does not mean writing a line of characters in regular script or official script and then projecting it on the screen.

In fact, the names of most movies are carefully designed, and many movie titles are written by famous artists.

Sometimes, just a movie title can reflect the style of a movie. For example, the title of Mr. Zombie is both scary and lively.

The name of the last movie "Titanic" was carefully designed by the film's artist. A single name gives people a sense of weight.

Many directors don't really care about this, but great directors like Cameron will never ignore it.

This is the basic pursuit of a great director.

But what stands out about the movie title Titanic 2 on the screen is that it is perfunctory. The artist who designed the name looks like he just left school, with no charm at all.

Fortunately, this shot only flashed by, and soon, the official plot of the movie began.

When he saw the ugly heroine Lucy, Robert couldn't hold back.

this.

Casting is the basic work of a film, and it is also the most important work.

For example, a fat person should never be played by a thin person, because that would conflict with the script and affect the audience's sense of involvement.

This ugly heroine is definitely a failure in casting and will immediately make the audience lose their sense of involvement in the movie.

Why did Cameron choose this ugly actress as the heroine? What is the meaning of this?

Robert couldn't help but think,

If another director had done this, it would have been because he was ignorant and didn't understand the audience's preferences, but maybe Cameron wouldn't understand this?

He must have some deep meaning.

It's like learning martial arts. When you first start learning martial arts, you must be strict and make no mistakes in every move. Once you get to a higher level, your martial arts will be as smooth as you want, and every move will have charm. But when you reach the peak level, your moves will start to change. Common sense is incomprehensible.

This is what is called looking at mountains but not mountains, looking at water but not water, and looking at mountains as mountains and looking at water as water, and the pinnacle, looking at mountains as not mountains and looking at water as not water.

Cameron has reached the highest level in filmmaking. There must be a deep meaning in choosing a clown as the heroine. Maybe he wants to express something through unconventional casting.

After all, this is Cameron.

Robert is actually a fan of Cameron, but he has never admitted it in public.

For a top director like Cameron to make a movie like this, there must be some special reason.

The setting is also a bit poor. Is it because you want to express the rebelliousness and unconventionality through the shoddy setting?

Or is Cameron tired of making normal movies and wants unconventional ways to explore new ways of expressing movies?

Anyway, it can’t be because of lack of money.

Cameron is a world-class director. He has no shortage of investment in making movies. It is absolutely impossible for him to make shoddy movies just because he has no money.

When he was filming "Titanic", he was famous for his excellence.

There must be a reason why the set of "Titanic 2" is so subversive. Cameron may want to guide the audience's aesthetics through the rough set.

Or maybe you want a rough set and explore new ways of cinematic expression.

In short, there must be a special reason for this, otherwise Cameron would not be able to do this.
