The opening plot of the Helicopter Formation vs. Pteranodon comes from the foreshadowing laid at the end of the first part of "Jurassic Park". When the protagonists left in a helicopter after experiencing hardships, due to the severe damage to the infrastructure on the dinosaur island, a group of Pteranodon... The pterosaur escapes from its cage and flies to the world outside the island. The timeline of the sequel is parallel to reality, set three years after the events of Dinosaur Island.
In the past three years, these ancient creatures that have no natural enemies in the sky of modern society have rapidly multiplied and attracted more and more attention. Anecdotal reports such as various water monster legends have appeared all over the world.
News about the resurrection of dinosaurs began to be frequently included in these reports.
It wasn't until the sequel opened that a group of pteranodons attacked a small town in Hawaii, causing serious casualties, and the matter could no longer be concealed. People around the world took to the streets to demand that the government disclose the truth, and animal protection organizations accused the US military after the report was made public. The massacre of Pteranodon.
Public opinion was loud and clear.
On the big screen, the opening battle between modern technology and ancient creatures quickly introduced the audience to the plot. The official opening began, accompanied by the subtitles of the main creative staff, and through TV broadcasts and newspaper features, roughly introduced the three years before the Pteranodon attack. Various news about dinosaur resurrection.
The film begins with a private hearing in the U.S. Congress.
The person who was questioned by Congress was Dr. John Hammond, the owner of Dinosaur Island, who mainly explained the ins and outs of Dinosaur Island to a group of congressmen.
This hearing is a continuation of the Pteranodon attack.
After investigation, federal authorities have grasped the truth about the existence of Dinosaur Island, but there are serious differences on how to deal with these resurrected ancient creatures.
Some people think that they should be completely destroyed because they are worried that these ancient behemoths will seriously damage the earth's ecology like the rabbits that invaded Australia. The Pteranodon that has flourished all over the world in just three years is the best proof. Others feel that it should be preserved. This is not only a miracle created by human technology, but the resurrected ancient creatures can also bring positive impacts to all aspects of human society.
Of course, there are also people who see huge business opportunities in dark corners that ordinary people don't notice.
There were not many shots of the hearing. At the end of the hearing, Dr. Hammond left the Capitol with Adrian Lantry, a congressman he knew well. The information between the two revealed the federal government's plans for Dinosaur Island. The handling opinions have not been completely finalized. The congressman said that he can help with the matter, provided that he must go to Dinosaur Island in person to confirm some things.
Dr. Hammond agreed to come down.
The two parted ways, and Hammond was stopped before he got into the car. A middle-aged man who claimed to be a representative of the Berkson Group expressed his hope to buy Dinosaur Island, but was rejected without any surprise.
Dinosaur Island is Dr. Hammond’s life’s work and cannot be sold easily.
The scene switches and the camera returns to the familiar dinosaur island that the audience is already quite familiar with in the first film.
The chaos that once was has been restored.
In the simple iron sheet room, the TV that was turned on was still playing the news about the Pteranodon attack. Various dinosaur photos and dense related information were hung on the walls of the room. The camera moved and a special picture appeared. In the wedding photo, the newlyweds in suits and wedding dresses sit on the back of a huge long-necked dragon with bright smiles. This is the paleontologist Alan Grant played by Sam Neill and the paleobotanist Alan Grant played by Rene Russo. Leigh Steller.
Within three years, the two had married and became Mr. and Mrs. Grant.
Out of love for their careers, even though they almost died during their first experience on Dinosaur Island, after receiving the authorization from Dr. Hammond, the two chose to return to Dinosaur Island and settled down on the island to begin to explore the biological miracle of dinosaur resurrection. Research deeper.
The camera passes through the board house to the outer courtyard. The Grants and another middle-aged black figure appear in the camera, along with a triceratops. Surprisingly, the triceratops is as big as an adult elephant. At this time, he was lying docilely on the grass and had a big mouth. It was easy to tell that the middle-aged black man who should be a doctor was checking the mouth of the Triceratops. Finally, he used large pliers to pull out a long wooden thorn.
During the conversation between the three, the audience learned that the triceratops named Toby was only about three years old this year. When Grant first moved here three years ago, he accidentally encountered Toby who was dying after being attacked by a carnivorous dragon, so he adopted him. . Under the careful care of the Grants, Toby not only grew up successfully, but was also very smart. In Alan Grant's words, Toby had at least the IQ of a 5-year-old child, and he had become a part of the Grant family.
While they were chatting, a staff member from Dinosaur Island appeared in an off-road vehicle and expressed the hope that Grant would receive a congressman. He also briefly introduced the other party's background and reminded Grant that Congressman Grant was crucial to the future of Dinosaur Island.
Dr. Grant agreed, left with the staff, and soon met Congressman Adrian Lantry, who had talked with Dr. Hammond in Washington not long ago.
as well as.
Most importantly, Congressman Lantry's three children, Connie Lantry, 16, Robert Lantry, 13, and Wayne Lantry, 11.
Only then did Dr. Grant learn that the person he was about to receive was not Adrian Lantry, but the three children in front of him.
Yesterday reappears.
As if remembering some horrific past event, Dr. Grant waved his hand resolutely: "No, Children, No, No, No."
In the Holy Civic Auditorium, the audience burst into knowing laughter as Dr. Grant followed a series of 'No, No, No'.
This is almost a well-known meme due to the success of the first "Jurassic Park."
In the first film, Dr. Hammond's granddaughter Lexi is the most annoying character in the movie. She screams bad things at times when she shouldn't. So much so that when the character doll was released after the movie was released, this character was taken into consideration. It really disgusted the audience. Most of the other protagonists and supporting characters have their own doll figures. The peripheral department of Daenerys Entertainment only skipped Lex.
Now, the naughty boy group that gives people a very bad impression seems to have appeared again.
Out of respect for Spielberg's seniority in Hollywood, Simon did not interfere too much with the first film and basically kept the original plot. This also led to the frequent occurrence of the old "Jump Scare" that should appear in horror films. Appear.
This sequel, with Daenerys in full control, naturally won't have this problem again.
The three children were an intentional addition during the script's conception.
Including the large triceratops played by the Grants as pets.
All in all, it’s all about selling peripherals.
The global box office of the first "Jurassic Park" unfortunately stopped at 980 million US dollars, failing to break through the 1 billion mark. However, as of the release of "Jurassic Park 2", in the past two years, the first "Jurassic Park" has The peripheral sales it brought actually reached a huge amount of 2.1 billion U.S. dollars, creating a net profit of more than 300 million U.S. dollars. This does not include the related income of several major theme parks adding Jurassic Park attractions and the IP for Dan. Potential brand gain brought by Nelis Entertainment.
In the past "Jurassic Park" and even later "Jurassic World", why would there be one or two teenage characters in each movie, even if it makes people feel a little awkward? The key is that children are peripheral to this series. The main consumers of the product.
If you want children to spend money, you have to leave some characters in the movie that they can relate to.
"Jurassic Park" is positioned as a standard commercial entertainment blockbuster, and even Simon will not violate this underlying rule.
On the big screen, after a little game between all parties, the three Lanteri siblings finally stayed.
What follows is a standard high-concept movie plot.
The high-concept idea of the first film can be summarized as Dr. Hammond inviting a group of experts to personally review the feasibility of the Jurassic Park project.
The story of the second part can also be simply summarized as the Grants and the Lantry family fighting against the poachers on Dinosaur Island.
High concept is the way to go.
For commercial movies, details can be added and advertisements can be inserted, but in any case, the most important thing is to give the audience a simple and smooth complete story. Looking back at the history of Hollywood movies, many phenomenal commercial blockbusters have very good core story lines. Simple, just like "Terminator", just like "ET", just like "Day of Independence", etc., etc., as long as the audience has watched these movies, close their eyes and think about it for a while, even if many details are taken for granted Even if you forget, you can still easily sort out the general plot.
This is high concept.
The three Lanteri siblings were stationed at Dinosaur Island. They appeared to be very well-behaved, but their naughty nature was quickly exposed. That night, they sneaked out of the safe area where the staff lived, hoping to see the legendary Tyrannosaurus Rex.
The plot here uses a setting of suppressing first and then rising.
The three naughty children who abducted Toby, a triceratops with the IQ of a 5-year-old child, and rode them deep into Dinosaur Island, not only did they not get into trouble this time, they also accidentally discovered that the Berkson Group's acquisition of Dinosaur Island was in vain, and then quietly sent people to the island to steal it. Dinosaur hunting plot.
This plot is full of little accidents and joys when children get along with Toby the Triceratops, and the final chase battle is even more exciting.
However, although the three children escaped successfully, Toby the Triceratops was shot by a poacher with a tranquilizer gun and trapped in a cage.
The three embarrassed children returned to the Grant couple's residence. Dr. Grant was very angry at first, but after hearing the truth of the matter, he finally joined forces with the children to save the dinosaurs that were about to be transported out of Dinosaur Island after being captured by poachers.
On the other side, the poachers of the Berkson Group accidentally found three Tyrannosaurus rex eggs, which led to the real 'protagonist' of the first part.
At the same time, the popular velociraptors in the first episode also appeared one after another, causing serious casualties to the Berkson Group's poacher team.
The two-hour film has a wonderful storyline that brings the audience to the end of the story without even realizing it.
In the decisive battle between poachers and the dinosaur army, Michael Bay once again fully utilized his film style. Toby the triceratops accidentally summoned the triceratops army on the island. They gathered one after another and demolished the poacher base secretly set up on the other side of Dinosaur Island to the ground.
The ending is naturally happy for everyone.
There is also a classic scene from Michael Bay's movie, the Grants' kiss of victory at sunset.
The movie ends.
The subtitles rise but do not end.
The last easter egg appeared. Dr. Hammond, Senator Lantry, Mr. and Mrs. Grant and their three children stood at the highest point of Dinosaur Island, looking at the peaceful scenes of the various dinosaurs living quietly on the island. Finally, they believed that dinosaurs could interact with humans. To coexist harmoniously, and in order to avoid more covetousness, opening Dinosaur Island to the world is the most correct decision.
Obviously, this is setting the stage for the third part of the story.
The big screen went completely dark and the lights came on.
Warm applause also sounded at the same time.
Since "Jaws" in the 1970s, Spielberg has become one of the most important movie symbols in the hearts of Americans. However, after watching this sequel to "Jurassic Park" with a very different style, even with human habitual People are not as nostalgic as before, and most viewers still have to admit that Michael Bay's sequel is definitely more exciting and shocking than the first dinosaur blockbuster that was biased towards a thriller style.
The applause that lasted for more than a minute was the most direct proof.
The next day, many media outlets reserved important space for "Jurassic Park 2."
"The Hollywood Reporter" also produced a special feature for this. Relevant film critics praised "Jurassic Park 2" without hesitation as "a wonderful sequel that definitely surpasses the first film. New director Michael Bay once again proved his excellence." of cinematic talent'.
"Variety" mentioned the stunning IMAX screen at last night's premiere: "Daenerys Entertainment is once again at the forefront of the world's film industry after CG special effects. IMAX is likely to be The future of cinema for a new generation.”
While giving an unreservedly positive review of the film, the Los Angeles Times also turned its attention to the red carpet ceremony of the premiere, pointing out that just judging from the red carpet lineup yesterday afternoon, Daenerys Entertainment has already Has unparalleled appeal. Moreover, this kind of appeal has been successfully transformed into a strong promotion of the movie. No one can deny that the almost blind spots of carpet promotion have deeply engraved the brand of "Jurassic Park" in the world. deep in the minds of large swaths of the public. In this era where movie promotion is becoming more and more important, this strength alone gives Daenerys Entertainment a powerful advantage that is difficult for any other studio to match.
The first "Jurassic Park" was released at the end of 1992. The initial comprehensive media score reached 9.3 points.
Even though sequel movies are naturally prone to more harsh criticism from film critics, when the initial word-of-mouth statistics were released the day after the premiere, "Jurassic Park 2" still managed to score an astonishing 9.5 points, successfully achieving a first-place finish. Even the most demanding film critics cannot criticize this sequel, which not only inherits the essence of the series but also provides enough innovation and is more exciting and skillful in the use of technology.
Much anticipated, "Jurassic Park 2" was officially released on a large scale in North America on June 2, with the number of opening screens reaching 3,461.
Due to the fear of "Jurassic Park 2", except for the three or two local kittens with only a few dozen screen openings, this heavyweight super blockbuster almost exclusively occupies the prime summer time slot that starts on June 2. . With this in mind, Daenerys Entertainment has created a trend where the Hollywood powerhouses are getting stronger and stronger.
