Chapter 911 The lightsaber designed after breaking the head
Movies are a seed of dreams, "Star Wars" is the eternal dream home that countless people have rooted in memory. Duke also believes that Star Wars: The Force Awakens will make the audience feel home."
At the end of today's exhibition, Duke prepared a special surprise for nearly 10,000 participants present. They will participate in the next Star Wars concert.
At the concert, movie composer John Williams will welcome every guest present through video. The San Diego Symphony Orchestra will also perform classic Star Wars repertoire created by John Williams. With the accompaniment of beautiful music such as the Imperial March Anakin Song, the Star Wars crew will create an unforgettable night for comic convention participants.
However, the second poster released by the crew the next day caused an uproar.
This is a poster about the villain Kelloren. In the poster, Karenren staggered in the dark forest, and at the same time, it showed a red lightsaber representing the dark side of the Force. However, this lightsaber is different from the traditional Star Wars lightsaber. In addition to the red sword body, there is also a red handguard, which makes the lightsaber look a bit like a medieval cross sword.
It is this lightsaber that has caused controversy. The cross flame shape of the lightsaber has been criticized by countless movie fans on the Internet.
"It should be poked to myself?"
"Just use this sword if you want to commit suicide but are afraid that you can't do it. You will die if you swing it twice."
"When your wrist is slanted, the hilt of the sword is inserted into your wrist."
"I thought it was pretty handsome, but after looking carefully, I also felt that this design was indeed a bit of a hand injury. It should not be used normally. It should be used to adapt to the situation in times of crisis."
This incident quickly attracted the attention of the media, and some reporters specially found Duke and conducted an interview.
"My email has also received a lot of opposition letters. Some people refuted the rationality of this lightsaber in very detailed pictures and texts, some people talk nonsense, and some people think that such a design will in turn kill the lightsaber user."
Regarding the various hot discussions among netizens, Duke said that the matter was quite interesting, but he did not reveal the reason for this design to the media, but only said that it was a "long story". "I actually had an argument with my team at the beginning. After a series of discussions, we finally determined this design plan."
Of course, the design of this plan was carefully selected by Duke. The purpose is to cause controversy.
A movie without controversy is definitely not a qualified commercial movie. As long as the scope and popularity of the dispute can be controlled well, it can not only bring about visible negative effects, but also a massive amount of attention that cannot be seen.
Some people complained about this red cross flame lightsaber representing the dark side of the Force, but after Duke's interview was exposed, more movie fans came forward to make supportive remarks on the Internet.
"Do I think it's cool?"
"The director said that if he couldn't hurt someone, he couldn't hurt anyone."
"I think it's pretty cool."
"Since Duke lets it appear, it must be his rationality. I believe there will be sufficient explanations in the movie!"
"Now, just talk. When the main film comes out, maybe it's cool and cool to get rid of the scumbag!"
The Star Wars movies promoted at this San Diego Comic Exhibition are not only Star Wars: The Force Awakening, but also the latest Star Trek. Fans on both sides have never dealt with each other. Now Star Wars: The Force Awakening has almost stolen all the limelight and immediately attracted the dissatisfaction of hardcore Star Trek fans.
They used Twitter and instant sharing of two social media as positions to tweet and instantly share, and pissed wildly against Duke and the Red Cross Flame Lightsaber.
"It's a long story about the emergence of this red cross flame lightsaber."
"Duke Rosenberg drove one day and hit a tree stump and smashed his head. When he woke up from the hospital, he decided to make a cross lightsaber that he dreamed of during his coma."
"In the second week, when the screenwriter learned about this news, he immediately found common sense in various preschool textbooks and tried to tell him clearly that this was impossible, but it was invalid."
"In the third week, the screenwriter resigned in anger; in the fourth week, he could not find a new screenwriter who was willing to write a story about the Cross Lightsaber; in the fifth week, he could not find such a screenwriter; in the sixth and seventh week, he could not find a suitable editor."
"In the tenth week, I finally found it, but the script was handed over to the props group. The props master looked through the primary school textbooks and said he would not agree to anything. From the eleventh week to the twenty-first week, the props group went on a collective strike to protest the production of the lightsaber designed by Duke Rosenberg."
"In the 22nd week, Duke Rosenberg made a handful of it for the actors. The first actor was cut to death."
"From the 23rd to the 43rd weeks, the red cross flame lightsaber designed by Duke Rosenberg successively cut the 22 actors, who are still cutting the actors."
"Finally, by December, the release version will only have one IMA shot. This is because the actors in other shots are constantly being replaced, so the shots cannot be used."
The debate between Star Wars fans was only internal conflicts, but Star Wars fans immediately eliminated the differences and began to unanimously talk to the outside world. Both sides used the Internet as a carrier, and under the intentional guidance of Duke's naval team, a war of mutual criticism among fans began.
Both sides have a huge number of fans, and this Internet war has almost attracted great discussions in the entire North America and even the Western world.
This also completely met Duke's expectations.
Two days after arriving at San Diego Comic Exhibition, the debate gradually became smaller, but the power of spoof came on again.
Since Star Wars: The Fire Cross Lightsaber Awakened by the Force has attracted crazy complaints from netizens, the spoof has never stopped. A bunch of trauma-wrenching guys have imagined how weird the lightsaber can be? We can all do it.
A video production team released their carefully rushed lightsaber battle video, and a "wonderful" lightsaber battle was launched. The flame cross lightsaber is the main weapon, and the two sides of the battle were naturally the Jedi and the old enemy Sith Warrior.
Both sides were having fun fighting, but the lightsabers they held were a little strange.
Cross? Lightning? These can no longer satisfy these lunatics, triangles, battle axes, umbrellas, how to do it! When you fight later, the outcome is no longer important
Duke, Lucasfilm and Warner Bros.'s publicity about Star Wars: The Force Awakens can't stop.
There are also Star Wars fans who use a serious way to discuss and analyze the possible origin of Karenren's Flame Cross Lightsaber.
"As early as a few years ago, the Dark Night sisters started using lightsabers with cross-shaped handguards. It's right to be aware of the risk of accidentally hurting themselves, but this needs to be comprehensively considered."
"First, the Force Lightsaber itself is a weapon that is easy to accidentally hurt. A person who decides to use this weapon will inevitably receive training to be proficient in using this weapon without hurting himself. This will also be his usual weapon. On the other hand, people who are not particularly familiar with this sword, such as opponents who seize your weapon, will not be easy to use it easily."
"Secondly, the legendary Power Lightsaber also has different combat styles. For example, Obi-Wan is a typical defense-making style. Cross-shaped handguards may hinder the agility style that requires a large number of lightsabers and hand-changing hands, but can it also strengthen certain specific power-type styles? The cross-shaped handguards cannot be generalized. The differences in combat styles must be taken into consideration."
"Also, on the basis of determining the style, we will not discuss whether the two extra side blades can protect the hand. Even if they cannot, it can also create an opportunity to catch the opponent off guard in the battle. Assuming that the Jedi and the Sith are already proficient in fighting with a single-edged lightsaber, the two extra blades increase the factors that the opponent needs to consider in the battle, and convert the scenes that both sides are familiar with into scenes that are familiar to the other party but unfamiliar to the other party, thus bringing advantages. In terms of this function, the legendary double-edged sword, light whip, and adjustable length combat sword are all similar in ideas."
It has to be said that Star Wars is not just about faith, but has even developed into a special discipline.
Although this year's San Diego Comic Exhibition is mainly promoting Star Wars: The Force Awakening, there is also a Duke-related exhibition hall.
Not far from the Star Wars: The Force Awakening showroom, Duke's team also planned an "Interview with Duke Rosenberg Night".
This event mainly displays all the movies Duke has filmed and produced since filming, and has also attracted the attention of many movie fans and comic fans.
"Duke Rosenberg is a magical existence for those who love movies!"
This is the main slogan on display, and such slogans have also been recognized by most movie fans.
Just as the San Diego Comic Exhibition was about to end, the organizer also gave Duke a big gift, giving him a "ibsp" when accepting the awards list, Duke faced ordinary movie fans in the exhibition hall, and his words were much more sincere than winning the Oscar Little Golden Man.
"I'm now walking into a very strange world, just like a tornado that has taken me into the magical world of movies for more than 20 years. I want to make the most personal and magical commercial blockbusters,"
He pointed to thousands of ordinary movie fans in the exhibition hall and said loudly, "I am very grateful for you for giving me this opportunity. But recently, a sentence I often mentioned when chatting with friends is 'Continue to win what you have already got', and take the initiative to work hard and strive for it. So for those fans who have given me so much sincerity, inspiration and fighting spirit, I will continue to give you more."
The applause burst at the scene was far beyond that of the Oscars.
Compared to those, Duke also cared more about these ordinary movie fans' support for him. (To be continued.)
