Chapter 325: Opening the painting
"These people really hate it. Isn't it good to pay attention to the movie itself?"
Ye Lin glanced at the back of the reporter standing in front of her, with a slight disgusting look on her face. √
As a well-known online film critic, she naturally received an official invitation to the screening, so she sat here. Next to her was her boyfriend Pan Xiaoyu. He, who is also a critic, also received an invitation to attend the screening. Now, after hearing Ye Lin's words, he asked: "Do you think Zhang Yi is really involved in this movie, as Du An said?"
Ye Lin hesitated and was not sure, but in the end she shook her head and said, "I think it should be just a response. You know, Zhang Yi has been busy with the filming of "Golden Armor", and it is unlikely that she will take so much time to participate in the filming of "Liberation Day".
Pan Xiaoyu nodded, he thought so too.
"You and I have basically figured out what I think, but I judge it from the other side, that is my personal style. Zhang Yi and Du An can be called big directors, and both have their own artistic concepts. If the two concepts are forced to be integrated together, they will inevitably conflict and be difficult to coordinate. So for the sake of the quality of the film, I don't think Du An would let Zhang Yi participate a lot. This deputy director should be just a name."
Ye Lin smiled when she heard this, "It's not last year now. You should also know more about Duan, so you should also know that Duan is not a traditional director and other directors have their own distinctive characteristics. He has almost no fixed style, or his style has been changing. In this way, I don't think he will have personal ideas conflicts with Zhang Yi. In the final analysis, it should be the reason why Zhang Yi is not available."
Pan Xiaoyu shook his head.
He always minds a little bit about his girlfriend's praise for this director.
In his opinion, Duane is indeed a very talented director, but his girlfriend praised this director too much, and she almost worshipped him as an omnipotent god.
However, he also had experience and knew that he could not argue with his girlfriend on this issue, so he had to jump over and directly enter the theme of today's screening.
"You said, how would he make this "Liberation Day"?"
Ye Lin thought for a while and said, "From the publicity materials and their global publicity roadshow in the past month, this movie was born in the 21st century... Not only did they do a good job of filming confidentiality, but they did not disclose too much detailed information in the publicity. We only know that the characters in it include the chairman, the chairman's wife, soldiers, scientists, etc. To be honest, these characters are too general. Basically, any movie with the main theme will basically involve these characters, so I can't guess how he will shoot it."
Speaking of this, Ye Lin paused for a moment, looked at the reporter's question just now, and the incident that reporter asked in the stands had passed, and she began to enter the next stage, and then she continued: "What puzzled me especially is that he set the background in the 21st century... According to the general rules, the main theme movies usually shoot modern and modern things, basically focusing on the period from the 1911 Revolution to the reform and opening up, but he placed it in the 21st century to shoot... I really don't know how he wants to shoot."
Pan Xiaoyu smiled and said, "The main theme is definitely focused on some major events. As long as I think about what major events have happened in recent years, it is not difficult to guess how he will shoot it. If I want to see it, he will likely capture the World War, Olympic bid, and ** for shooting these three things. However, it is unlikely to shoot all three things. I think he is likely to only capture one thing to shoot to achieve the effect of deepening the theme. After all, if you shoot all three things, the audience's attention will easily be distracted and it will not be easy to dig too deep. But why do these things come together with the Liberation Day... I can't guess it either."
Ye Lin listened and nodded slowly.
She agrees with Pan Xiaoyu's statement.
"If we can guess everything, then he can't make a living in this industry. Let's see which one he will take?"
Ye Lin said with a smile.
The screening on stage has been almost done now. The screening ended before the two chatted.
Amid the applause, everyone on the stage stepped down and took their seats, the lights gradually went out, and the movie began.
The first one to appear on the screen was the logo of DreamWorks. The logo of this production company that has been established for a few years is now well known to many people.
After the opening animation passed, the video began.
The beginning picture is very simple, it is the name of the movie "Liberation Day" in the center of the screen, and there is nothing else. Then the name is broken and recombined into several other words.
September 29th.
"September 29?"
Many people were stunned when they saw this date.
In their understanding, Liberation Day should be National Day. You can see the clues from the fact that "Liberation Day" is available on the National Day holiday. But isn't National Day October 1st? Why is the date on September 29th?
Ye Lin and Pan Xiaoyu were also stunned: September 29th?
Judging from their rich experience in watching movies, the tips given by this movie are so obvious. It is very likely that the entire movie was born in September 29th to October 1st. However, whether it is joining the WTO, bidding for the Olympics or **, none of these three major events were born in September and October!
They looked at each other, and saw the doubts in each other's eyes, and then looked at the screen.
After the subtitles on September 29 were broken, the camera went dark and brighter, and a desolate place appeared on the screen, with sand and soil on the ground. The angle of the sun was illuminated was strange and the light was also very strange. Behind it was a dark night sky with stars flashing on it.
"This is on the moon!"
Of course, it is not surprising that some viewers have recognized this land, because at Duane’s request, the picture of this land from casting to special effects in the later stage was completely based on a well-known moon photo that was once set up in the United States.
The desolate land is not empty. On the right side of the camera, there is a ruin that looks like a mountain on the moon. From this perspective, it seems a bit like a ruined wall?
As the low background sound gradually rose and became more and more intense, the sand on the ground slowly shaking, and the ruins that were suspected to be relics of human activities also shaking together. The sand and stones shook open, revealing some authentic works below. The audience saw something that was suspected to be stone pillars and stone beams.
Are they really ruins? The ruins on the moon?
The scene was full of Chinese children, and a word Guanghan Palace flashed through my mind at the first time.
The vibration of the sand and stone on the ground became more and more powerful. A piece of the ruins was shocked slightly closer to the lens. A sudden appearance of a different step rate in the lens with a consistent overall vibration frequency immediately attracted the attention of all the audience.
This is a white stone, a bit like a broken stone plaque. After the sand and stones fall, you can see the bumps on it. The bumps on it are obvious under the side light of the sun, like a word. However, even though there are so many people present, there are many well-educated people, no one can recognize what the word is. They don’t even know what language the word belongs to, and they just think that this word looks mysterious and ancient at first glance.
The audience's attention did not focus on this for a long time. Soon, a shadow appeared on the surface of the moon, covering from far to near, covering an increasingly larger area. The surface of the moon that appeared in the final shot was covered in the shadow.
When the camera turned around, it was still the moon surface covered by shadows, and then slowly raised it up. In the end, the moon surface was no longer visible. What appeared in the camera was the vast and dazzling starry sky, and what was in it was the round blue planet.
Earth.
"It's really on the moon!"
Now everyone knows it.
But what was the shadow just now? Then they knew it immediately.
The background sound became more and more exciting and loud without realizing it, and one of the sounds became clearer and clearer...
That's the sound of airflow!
A black land appeared above the camera. The black land flew forward. More and more parts appeared in the camera, and the airflow sounded louder and louder. Then the audience saw that there were many dish-shaped protruding parts under the black land and there were ravines distributed.
The black land "hanging upside down" in the air is too big. The camera can't see where the edges of the left and right sides of the black land are. They can only see the bottom, the circular edge at the front, the protrusions of the dishes below, and the sound of airflow coming from countless speakers scattered around the theater. These hints made them immediately guess the essence of this thing.
This is an extremely huge ufo! A ufo is flying towards the earth!
"God knows how we hear the sound of airflow in space..."
During the meal, an audience member was talking to himself like this, but this did not prevent him from continuing to stare at the screen.
Some people are lamenting other aspects.
"It's so real, it's one step further than Terminator. The computer technology is so scary now."
Pan Xiaoyu sighed like this, and Ye Lin next to him said: "Of course, after all, a year has passed, and the investment in this movie is much larger than that of the Terminator. The quality of the special effects is always closely linked to money." The eyes never left the screen for a moment.
Not to mention anything else, just watching such realistic pictures is already a pleasure. From this, we can also see that Duane's team's seriousness and importance to the work is not like some other films, using special effects of 50 cents to fool the audience in order to save money and production cycles.
The background sound suddenly stopped when it was at its peak, and a white light flashed. The camera had returned to the earth from space. What appeared on the screen was a plain with sparse green grass, with several radars arranged in a line. Then the camera cut into the indoors, and the subtitles of "Kansu Province, Alien Exploration Center" flashed by, and the background sounded Jay Chou's "Narclaw". The camera moved and saw a casual young white man playing indoor golf.
The rhythm of the entire picture was obviously slowing down. Wei Yang, who had just been nervous about the movie, breathed a sigh of relief at this time and immediately complained in a low voice: "ufo? Alien? What do you think about this? It's inexplicable!" It can be seen that he was really unhappy Du An. If there weren't many celebrities on the scene who could feast their eyes today, he wouldn't have come.
Song Zhen, who was sitting next to him, opened her mouth and said "Shut up!" and was about to blurt out, but she immediately thought of something and quickly closed her mouth. Her lips squirmed for a while but finally she didn't say anything, but just looked at the screen quietly.
However, Zhang Rong on her left hand whispered impatiently: "Okay, just watch the movie quietly."
Wei Yang curled his lips and said nothing after all.
And in the past dozen rows in front of them, Ye Lin was talking to herself: "Alien?ufo?Liberation Day?..." She thought, her eyes getting brighter and brighter, as if she realized something. In the end, Pan Xiaoyu said what she thought on her behalf.
"It's not about joining the World War, not about bidding for the Olympics, nor about **, it's about an alien invasion!"
He sighed, "We've all guessed wrong. He actually combined science fiction films with the main theme. The main theme science fiction film? Maybe he will create a new genre."
Ye Lin expressed her concerns, "The main theme of science fiction is too different from that of the main theme. I don't know what he will do..."
In addition to them, other audiences in the theater are also very surprised: they agreed to be the main theme movie, and they have been prepared for two hours to be "educated" but they did not expect it to turn into a science fiction movie all of a sudden?
In addition to these audiences, Shu Yu also had a little doubt. Of course, she and the audience had different doubts after watching the films. Her doubts were in other aspects.
"Are you sure this film will reach three billion box office?"
She asked Duane beside her.
Duane took his eyes off the screen, turned his head to look at her, and smiled, "Of course."
Shu Yu said again: "But no one has ever tried this situation. We are the first to try it out. We don't know whether the market accepts or excludes such videos. You made such a guarantee and made a bet. Don't you think you are too much?"
The more she talks, the more angry she becomes.
"Have you ever thought that if there were no 3 billion, would you really retire? You are too willful!"
Du An listened to her words silently, without saying anything: He knew that Shu Yu had already had an objection to his actions, but she had been holding on and not saying anything, afraid of affecting her mood. Now that all the publicity work has been over, she probably found an opportunity to discuss this issue with her. The mood stirring caused by the fierce offensive of the reporter just now was finally unable to hold it in and she ejaculated.
In fact, Shu Yu did not have any objection to him that the box office was 3 billion. If he simply boasted about the box office of 3 billion, Shu Yu would probably say "yes", but he bet on his future for this. This is what Shu Yu cannot accept simply, and care will be messed up.
He reached out and held Shu Yu's little hand. Shu Yu struggled for a moment and wanted to get rid of him, but he held it harder. In the end, Shu Yu gave up struggling and let his big hand wrap his little hand.
"You think the first person to eat crabs means instability and high risk, but you should also know that risks are always proportional to returns. The greater the risk, the greater the returns. So in my opinion, we are the first person to eat crabs, which is actually an advantage."
Duan said with a smile, and finally looked at the screen and threw a word to her.
"Don't worry, you said that I am the king of the world. If I order them to laugh, they will laugh; if I order them to cry, they will cry."
"Now, I order them to fall in love with this movie." (To be continued.)8
