is the most expensive American drama in history, here.
The first quarter cost of up to 465 million US dollars (about 3 billion yuan). Compared to the " Power Game " prequel to the "Dragon Family", which was just launched last month, made the first season (10 episodes) with 200 million US dollars, which was more expensive.
alone is to win the adaptation of "The Rings King", Amazon invested $ 250 million. For a TV series,
is definitely a ceiling -level configuration -
does not need to be hidden, "The Rings King: Ring of Power".
starts from the episode, which attracts global attention, and the date of the episode broadcast is even more "ingenious" -just less than two weeks when the "Dragon Family" was broadcast.
is clear. HBO and Amazon are the "battle of the century" of epic magic hegemony, which allows the two most anticipated and largest American dramas of the year.
, but probably Amazon didn't count, this duel was just beginning and encountered such a tragic defeat.
has won the high cost compared to "Dragon Family" from viewing to word of mouth. It is in sharp comparison with the high cost of "The Ring of Power". %, But the popcorn index is only 33%, and MTC users have averaged only 2.1 points. The media reputation is acceptable, and the audience has a poor reputation.
Some netizens believe that the show is completely sorry for the title of the most expensive episodes in history, bad performances, bad scripts, and bad casting, which is extremely disrespectful to the original. Some people hope that Amazon will immediately cut the play and cancel the next season that has been reservations.
and a "aesthetic downgrade" discussion also spread rapidly among domestic fans. Netizens said that this is not just aesthetic downgraded, but there is no aesthetic.
feels even worse after comparing the elf queen and elf prince.
So, what is this epic American drama?
Amazon smashed 450 million US dollars in the first season of this super IP. Is it worth it?
is this an epic American drama rollover?
today let us talk about this big chess player in Amazon.
has played bigger
Amazon is undoubtedly a big play.
"Ring Rings" is a project that has made Hollywood for many years, but even American drama super players such as net flying and HBO can't afford to play.
is that the project is too expensive. The second is that the project is too large.
spent 20 years for Tolkien to create an unprecedented "Middle -earth World" for a full 4 years.
This breakthrough imaginative test papers have been difficult for film and television for many years to make Hollywood discouraged.
, an epic masterpiece, is adapted either epic success or epic rollover.
The final ghost director Peter Jackson completed this impossible task to create a huge Middle -earth world. After more than the
, he added "Hobbit" to only one pamphlet in the "Battle of the Five Army" as a trilogy of "The Battle of the Five Army", which was still successful.
is here. In fact, there are only one director in the world who has successfully filmed the "Ring King" series and its preliminary passage, which is Peter Jackson.
Amazon did have invited Peter Jackson, and perhaps it may have issued rich conditions, but in the end Peter Jackson did not join in the drama version of "The Rings King" project in any form.
means that the moment Amazon bought this super IP, it also embarked on a huge adventure, and they could only do it by themselves. In the end, Amazon chose to create the director of Jurassic World 2, J. A. Biana. The plot of the
drama version is set for thousands of years before the story of "Hobbit" and "The Rings King". Essence
This story that actually only appeared in the original book of the original book is about the hero legend of the second era of Middle -earth, including the origin of the precepts of power, the rise of the demon king Soren, the Numannor Empire Destruction and the last alliance of elves and humans.
is difficult to do for any classic version of the film history. This is especially true of "The Rings King".
has been finished in the movie because of the fate of the protagonist and the ending of the story.
wants to continue to be brilliant, and can only start another stove. Fortunately, the spectrum of the Middle -earth world is very huge.
Amazon's shot this time is also full of energy. The first thing that
comes up is to smash money.
From the perspective of effect, the good aspect of the episode is that it can be seen in terms of shooting. From New Zealand real -life scene, you can feel that the funding is burning.
Twin sanctuary and other special effects are exquisite. The spectacular scene can be said to surpass "Dragon Family", and it is even a pity that it is not watching on the big screen.
minimum, Amazon's huge budget gave this fantasy drama, a broad and magnificent start.
episodes are not at the vast and profound presentation of the Middle -earth world, as well as the production level and texture.
is similar to the presence of the Nunmannor Empire. Ellonde crosses the sea and other visual scenes, and even at a certain moment, people recall the epic feeling of watching the movie version of "The Rings King".
is also because of sufficient budget. In terms of drama temperament, it is also an epic route. Character and background story.
is not just a conceptual existence from humans, elves to dwarfs, and even villains. For this reason,
has arranged a completely different visual tone for different ethnic groups.
, whoever looks at it: It's good to have money! From this,
can also see Amazon's attitude. At least subjectively, they never want to confuse it. They really want to make the epic epic, and also become Amazon's leader in the next 10 years. Just like "Game of Thrones" to HBO.
has no problem with ambitions, and there is a valuable attitude. There is only a problem, that is, Amazon -
played
because of the ambition, intention, and smashing money.
has not played a good show in the past, such as " Black Pakes ", " London London ", " Madam 3" was all messy, but in the creation of epic drama, Amazon's successful experience is far from HBO rich, and failure experience is far less rich than Internet flight.
facts prove that Amazon, who dares to step into the "Middle -earth World" river, is exposed to the lack of exposure to the creation of fantasy epic.
First of all, the casting has a great retreat.
The casting of the audience Tucao's drama Elf is not unreasonable.
当年彼得杰克逊选择李佩斯、布鲁姆和凯特布兰切特担任精灵族的主要角色时，观众也没觉得多惊艳，好像仙气飘飘、神仙颜值、 The faces of not all dust are a must -have for the roles.
So when the elven queen is quiet as the moonlight, the elf king is shrouded in the fairy with soft light, and the elf prince pulls the archery to become a dream of a generation of girls, everything is logical.
did not only see how clever Peter Jackson was that of Peter Jackson. In contrast,
, the new elves have neither elegant body, no excessive appearance, and no extraordinary temperament.
But this is not the biggest problem. The bigger problem is -
character is mediocre.
is not how many failures are in the drama version. The problem is that the movie version is too successful. It is impossible for the audience to compare.
heads two episodes, whether it is the elves, the dwarf , or the human character's image. All of this has nothing to do with skin tone, it is the character shaping failed to root the hearts.
is in the movie version. The Demon King Kate Blanchete played the Fairy Fairy, full of strength and wisdom, exuding dazzling light, not many but charm and weight.
and the drama version of the Galaderier not only are too bitter, but also from the leader of the film version of the leader and the politician image to a stubborn little girl.
Pursuing the classical narrative style and stage play -like performance style of the "Rings King" series that year. Roths, Alag and even Sam are used to bring you into the Middle -earth world in minutes?
is collectively and highly harmonious because of actors. For example, the role of Frozo, avoiding, fighting the demon and inner desire all the way, reaching the end, and completing the mission. In this process, he can clearly see his step -by -step growth, change, and the wake -up to the last moment.
and the drama version of the drama version are each other, and there is almost no wonderful acting scene with no memory at the beginning.
characters have no charm, and they have not created a sense of substitution.
Three is the plain story.
The Trilogy of the Ring Ring is a combination of a road film with war films. The first half of the
is several masters with extraordinary skills to escort an ordinary boy to step on the journey. In the second half, the positive villain camp stretched the sleeves and opened it. Although
, although the young audience questioned the story, the audience saw that it was drunk, and no one would feel boring the story.
but the drama version is not easy to handle.
has a lot of autonomous space because there is no original Bolkin's original base, but it also means that the original trustee is lost. From the second era of , it seems that it can avoid the positive comparison of the movie version. It is staggered, but it also means that the fate of all characters is doomed, and even how the big villain Sauron was killed without suspense. Even if
does not spoiler, the audience can guess the final finale of the entire drama version will be defeated and lost the flesh in Sauron in the "Last Alliance War".
, what come, what do you show the audience? The first season of
was placed in front of "Reappearance of the Rings". It was a story of a group of new and old faces rising in the face of the evil forces of the Middle -earth world.
can be shot and magnificent, but now it is too scattered to see the plot. The opening is almost introduced one by one like pepper noodles. It is reasonable to use multi -line narrative. After all The narrative rhythm is also too procrastinating. There is no substantial content, and the audience cannot catch the point.
's most original plot about Galaderier failed.
, for example, a group of elf children at the beginning bullied the play of Garadrell, there is no logic at all. You must know that Galaderier is the granddaughter of the elven king.
, let alone the drama that she traveled to the sea like the sea king later, and could not stand the scrutiny.
is even worse for her and her future son -in -law Erlongd's hug. Ordinary audiences are okay. How can the original fan tolerate?
In short, although there is the original background, the drama version accurately explains what is: good cards are bad.
is finally exquisitely exquisite.
's film version of the year was the beginning, and the narrative rhythm was very slow, but when Huo Bitong rolls in , ,
When a leaf flat boat drove across the Audin River's giant figure, The audience's eyes were settled.
has created a fantasy and gorgeous Chinese world for the audience because of Peter Jackson. The special effects scene of the
drama version cannot be said to be bad, and it can even be said to be the biggest highlight. Just one screenshot can be used as a wallpaper, but the problem is too exquisite, too exquisite, there is a domestic fairy -like drama suspension.
can be said that the crew has created a fantasy continent, but it is more like a fellow drama of the Rings, which is not like the Middle -earth world in the memory of the audience. These shortcomings of
make it difficult for the audience to enter this Middle -earth world created by the main creator. When a drama is covering up the clichés with gorgeous budgets, lack of personality, for the sake of big, then only a huge giant that exudes the flavor of burning money will be made. cake.
is like the heart -shaped food made by Xingye " God ". It is spectacular and difficult to import.
is not worth it?
returns to the beginning: Although the reputation of the drama version of "The Rings King" collapses. Can
be determined, did this fantasy epic drama rushed to the street?
This depends on how we think of this episode.
If it is simply from the perspective of TV series, it is a unfortunately tasteless chicken rib drama; but if it is used as Amazon's product, it is likely to be successful again. Although
has not yet announced the broadcast volume of the episode, it can be seen from the rhythm of Amazon's homemade episodes in recent years that Amazon is eager to develop its own IP and series.
has succeeded in the past, such as "Black Robe Pondsuna", but Amazon does not have a super, the original drama IP that sensation in the world. From the beginning,
drama version of "The Rings King" has been for this goal. Although
is destined to have a huge adventure, in fact, this adventure starts, but if it can attract the attention of global audiences, then even if the creation fails, Amazon has won.
This is exactly why American dramas have been increasingly invested in recent years, but they are no longer as classic as the beginning of the century, because the intervention of streaming has changed everything -
is willing to invest in shooting high -cost series. On the other hand, the bold and innovative original script is no longer encouraged, and the routine insurance script is more popular with streaming media because it can reduce risks.
Perhaps this is why the script and casting of the drama version of "The Rings" can be passed. It looks mediocre and politics is the first, but it is also insurance.
, why is the "Ring Ring King" series moving?
is just those who have accumulated a strong victory, which are moving charge?
is the opposite, because the story of "The Ring Ring" at the end, you will find the greatness of the protagonist, and it is inseparable from tragedy.
Remember the final end of the trilogy? On the one hand,
was the Romon Khan knight charge, and the horses were running into the final decisive battle with the Half Orcs.
When they ended up in the sunset, Sam asked him to throw the Lord of the Rings into the magma, but he murmured to himself: it is mine.
Dragon Slaughter became a dragon. At that moment, tragedy became the background of this fantasy epic. Is
safe? It was not safe, but unexpectedly, the public accepted the ending.
is now. With the sinking of the market, the aesthetic taste of the public is becoming more and more popular.
epic is getting less and less. The shooting version of "The Rings King" has been struggling to escape from the beginning.
Amazon bought the right to adapt the drama with a big hand. In the beginning, it was planned to shoot for five seasons. The cost of the first quarter was as high as 465 million US dollars, although courage.
, just like the big villain in the play, Sauron. When wearing a great power of energy, it becomes the king of the Lord of the Rings, and it may encounter a backbone. In the movie, it is the Lord of the Rings that destroys it, and it is also the Lord of the Rings.
is also for Amazon, and wants to wear the "Lord of the Rings", it will be important.
is a pity that this fantasy journey has just begun, and in a huge gorgeous, it has lost its way.
