Warcraft movie director: actually, I'm 20 years old players of Warcraft-world of Warcraft movie, Warcraft, Blizzard-IT information
Hollywood industrial production on the superhero movie has a complete set of system, and they're not just for fan money shot of shoddy work. For a film release, box office is the best show that world is already addicted to diffuse power and DC bring our fantasy universe.
But games adapted to the film little man to change the film's reputation and box office, for example: in the 2001 release of the Raider, the first week was 48.2 million at the box office, Disney documentary Hannah/Miley concert 31.1 million opening weekend at the box office just a little more. The Tomb Raider of the Metacritic score is only 33 minutes, which Metacritic score of 59.
In this comparison, does the game adaptation of the film do you have birth defects? As Warcraft movie director Duncan Jones did not think so: "this is only a partial, for there is no exact answer to this question. "This upcoming June 8 release in mainland China film based on Blizzard game series Warcraft adaptation, this is the third important film directed by Jones. "Good stories and character figures, as long as these two points together, a good movie is born. "Although Jones said, but the process for adapting games into movies seem simple.
Many critics to point the game film adaptation of the first in Director played the game, or the game for players of "sentiment" reflects whether a Director is also found in the body. For Jones, it faded reputation as a Director, he is also one of many Warcraft players. Dang outside media Vice asked up Jones he have play had Warcraft series game Shi, he admits: "for Warcraft series for, I has has 20 years of play experience has, from initially 1994 years sale of Warcraft: human and beast people began, until in rates strategy game territories Warcraft and command and conquered of preemption market war, Warcraft this paragraph game can said with has many contemporary Director of childhood. ”
Although Jones himself had a long You Ling, but we don't know how he was going to Blizzard fans looking forward to the world of film success, and how did stand out as the film's Director. Of course, directed a movie adaptation has sales of more than 1 billion games, comparable figures until a full level in the game much harder then all copies of customs clearance. Directed Spider-man and Evil Dead II is famous for Sam Raimi films, this project is still a very difficult job, Jones before he became a film director of Warcraft, Raimi is responsible for the film's script.
When it comes to Raimi film script writing, Jones explained: "he's very accurate control of the entertainment element for the film, but I think many of his opinions and ideas and Blizzard's understanding of the game does not conform to, and for me personally, as a series of Warcraft fans, I am more inclined to agree with Blizzard's understanding of the game itself. "Blizzard has in the" story "on nearly 20 years of successful experience, but the players also have a deeply rooted perception, CG animation, lots of characters and the death of Knight in shining armor, were wanton killings of innocent civilians, while the screen is full of gorgeous fluffy magic can turn people into sheep.
So far as the movie, needs to be the game's story and details into this completely in two hours, but also in terms of Blizzard find balance between the requirement and the film itself. "Warcraft itself of plot and content is rich, directly will which a most plot took out took into movie is fundamental doesn't work of, it of length completely can took into a Department series", Jones had to admitted, as the world of Warcraft of fans by calls for, all of Warcraft plot completely can took into one Netflix network drama, "but for movie for, this must to has must of choice has, dang you will part plot shear off Shi, overall of mainline to also will more clear clear. ”
电影《魔兽》导演：其实我是20年魔兽老玩家 - 魔兽电影,魔兽,暴雪 - IT资讯
好莱坞工业在制作超级英雄电影上早已有一套完整的体系了，而且它们也不是仅仅只是为了圈粉丝钱而拍摄的粗制滥造作品。对于一部公映的电影来说，票房就是最好的证明，现在全世界都已经沉迷于漫威与DC为我们带来的奇幻宇宙。
但从游戏改编而来的电影却很少有漫改电影的口碑与票房，举个例子来说：在2001年上映的《古墓丽影》，首周票房为4820万，比迪士尼纪录片《汉娜/米莉演唱会》的3110万首周票房仅多出一点点。而《古墓丽影》的Metacritic评分仅为33分，后者Metacritic评分为59。
以此比较看来，难道游戏改编的电影就有先天缺陷吗？身为电影《魔兽》导演的Duncan Jones却不这么认为：“这只是部分现象，对于这一问题并没有确切的答案。”这部即将于6月8日在中国大陆公映的电影基于暴雪系列游戏《魔兽争霸》改编而来，这是Jones执导的第三部重要电影。“好故事、有个性的人物，只要将这两点结合起来，一个好电影就诞生了。”虽然Jones如此说到，但对于将游戏改编成电影的这个过程似乎并不简单。
有不少影评人将游戏改编电影的意见首先指向于导演是否玩过游戏，或者说，这款游戏对于玩家的“情怀”体现是否同样出现在了导演身上。对于Jones来说，褪去导演的名号，他也是众多《魔兽》玩家之一。当外媒Vice问起Jones他有没有玩过《魔兽》系列游戏时，他坦言：“对于《魔兽》系列来说，我已经有20年的游玩经历了，从最初1994年发售的《魔兽争霸：人类与兽人》开始，直到在即时战略游戏界《魔兽》和《命令与征服》的抢占市场大战，《魔兽》这款游戏可以说伴随了很多当代导演的童年。”
虽然Jones本人有着很长的游龄，但我们都不知道他将如何把这部全球暴雪粉丝期待的电影拍成功，还有当初是如何脱颖而出成为本片的导演。当然，执导一部改编自有十多亿销量游戏的电影，可比在游戏中把一个人物练到满级再通关所有副本要难得多。对于执导过《蜘蛛侠》和《鬼玩人》等著名电影的Sam Raimi来说，此项目依旧是个十分困难的工作，在Jones成为电影《魔兽》的导演前，Raimi负责电影的脚本。
当谈到Raimi对于电影脚本的创作时，Jones解释道：“他对于电影中娱乐元素的把控十分准确，但我认为他的很多观点与想法和暴雪对于游戏的理解不太符合，而对于我本人来说，作为魔兽系列粉丝，我更倾向于认同暴雪对于游戏本身的理解。”暴雪已经在“讲故事”上有近20年的成功经验，但这也让玩家们有了一个根深蒂固的认知，在CG动画中，很多人物和骑士死亡时都穿着闪亮的盔甲，无辜的平民被肆意屠杀，同时画面上又充满了绚丽的魔法还能一下把人变成毛茸茸的绵羊。
而对于电影来说，需要将游戏中的故事和细节完全揉进这两个小时中，同时也要在暴雪方面的要求和电影本身之间找平衡。“《魔兽》本身的剧情与内容十分丰富，直接将其中一大部分剧情拿出来拍成电影是根本行不通的，它的长度完全可以拍成一部连续剧”，Jones不得不承认，正如《魔兽世界》的粉丝所呼吁，所有的《魔兽》剧情完全可以拍成一部Netflix网剧，“但对于电影来说，这必须要有一定的取舍了，当你将部分剧情剪切掉时，整体的主线走向也会更加清晰明了。”
