Chapter 450: The Dawn of the Heroes of "Red Cliff"!
Sophia and Scarlett, the two of them are ready to go to Japan to make a movie.
Therefore, in this "Red Cliff", the two of them must not miss it.
Of course, even if they didn't go to Japan to make a movie, the two of them couldn't miss it.
There's no way, the 'Three Kingdoms' seem to be quite popular on the Internet in the United States recently.
To be exact, there should be a thing that is quite popular on the Internet right now, that is, a mysterious comic from the East.
Now, as long as you search for comics on Google, the associated words are often Oriental, Chinese, Three Kingdoms, and so on.
If you click on it, you will see a screen like this.
One by one, they are wearing armor and are majestic, but they are ...... The drawings are very sketchy, the kind that is similar to Japanese black and white manga, but the style is very different.
That's right, it's a villain book!
After all, there are many people from China in the United States, including Chinese, new immigrants, international students, and many black households.
They act as the first explainers, and under their explanations, this kind of thing is even more popular.
Here in Warner, there were originally only 100,000 sets, in fact, the villain book is not so detailed, there are not many copies, but it is a number of 12 in a row.
But!
In general, there are only 6 copies in a set.
Not all, really not all.
Why is this happening?
Seriously, from the very beginning, Ron was puzzled by this.
After all, in his opinion, there is really not much difference between 12 books and 6 books in terms of cost.
That's true, our country is very strong in controlling costs in this regard.
But this difference has a surprising effect!
On the Internet, many people are looking to buy the whole book of this villain!
That's right, how can 6 books be enough to watch?
I've read all 12 books, so that's it!
Many people are really scratching their hearts, and like this, for a while, the popularity of this villain book on the Internet in the United States is unprecedentedly high.
It was supposed to be free, but now it's 100 US dollars and 6 copies!
And an uptrend!
Why is this happening?
Ron pestered Yuki Kusano for this question, but he never got an answer, so Yuki Kusano just smiled slightly.
In fact, the overseer knew it in his heart.
You guys just haven't seen the magic of the little raccoon's crisp noodles!
With such a successful marketing method, the name of the superintendent naturally hides his secrets.
Of course, Sophia and Scarlett won't know these details, but the three countries are popular on the Internet in the United States, and of course they know that this is definitely a major benefit of "Red Cliff"!
It can be said that in terms of publicity, the film has been very successful.
Then, the most important thing left is the quality of this movie.
What is "Red Cliff" all about?
The two people sitting in the Chinese theater were attracted from the beginning.
As far as the opening of the movie is concerned, there are naturally many techniques.
For example, Yuki Kusano himself has used it, and as soon as it comes up, he doesn't talk nonsense about anything, and he gives the picture directly.
There are also those who stay in the dark and then slowly give a glow, which can give people the feeling of opening their eyes or chasing the light in the dark.
But in terms of historical films, there are characteristic routines of this genre.
The opening is better to be more atmospheric.
To put it simply, you can take pictures of some landscapes, such as mountains, seas, and forests, because these scenes themselves are majestic and magnificent, giving people a great feeling.
Some directors also like to imitate the eagle eye, that is, direct aerial photography, overlooking the whole land.
History, most of the history of mankind is accompanied by war, and what is the war fighting for?
Land!
So, these techniques are good, so, what about Yuki Kusano's one?
After the label passed, this "Red Cliff" came.
But...
Map!
The first act of the film is a huge map, and it's embroidered.
China!
It's really too Chinese!
Everyone knows the Silk Road, so isn't the embroidered map of China very Chinese?
At the same time, the map was constantly glowing with golden light, and names appeared.
There are place names, there are people, and then the trumpet sounds.
The trumpet is a musical instrument, and this instrument often carries a very atmospheric feeling.
Right now...
"Si Guoyi!"
Kimura was arranged to come to the United States to do publicity, and he was very excited and looking forward to sitting in the Chinese theater today.
What will this movie look like in this brother?
Although he participated in the filming, his role was not very important on the one hand, and on the other hand, the actor also saw the finished film.
And now, just at the beginning, Kimura couldn't help it.
Why?
Music.
The soundtrack for this opening scene is very majestic, and besides, this is "Dawn of Heroes"!
Toei began drawing in 1987, and in 1991, the first "Three Kingdoms" anime was released.
The subtitle of this anime is "Dawn of Heroes", and this name is also the name of the soundtrack of this movie.
This soundtrack has been called one of the finest soundtracks in Japanese history, and it is not only atmospheric, but also beautiful.
Yokoyama Jing'er generation of music masters, this work is his absolute masterpiece.
Now, "Red Cliff" uses this "Dawn of Heroes".
How can Kimura not get excited?
Brother really didn't let himself down!
The soundtrack came out, and the map also changed, and many animated characters appeared on it, some people with knives and horses......
The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand...... No rooster crowing for thousands of miles......
The subtitles are given, although in English, but the translation is very good.
A figure finally appeared on the map, but this time it wasn't an animation.
You can see that this is the Yellow Turban Rebellion!
Until the image of a person becomes clearer and clearer, he is Cao Cao.
Cao Cao's official to the prime minister, the narrow son of heaven to order the princes.
In the end, the map was removed, and Prime Minister Cao Cheng appeared.
Moreover, this is the battlefield of smoke billowing out!
Kill!!!
Come on!!!
The sound of killing shook the sky, and there was a brave general in the battle, unmatched.
There is a Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, and a red horse under him.
Who else could it be if it wasn't Lu Bu?
It's just that he is extremely brave, and the next shot is tied to the city gate.
"Cao Cao, I'm willing to surrender you!"
This Lu Bu is the first, he can really be said to be able to bend and stretch, and beg for a life at the last moment.
So, can you get what you want?
That's what Cao Cao did.
"Xuande, what do you think. ”
He asked Liu Bei.
At this moment, Liu Bei, who was dressed in armor and had a thin face, frowned.
Soon, shook his head.
"Liu Bei Xiao'er, I'm going to kill you!" Lu Bu was really angry.
Cao Cao laughed, and then, Lu Bu's head fell to the ground.
In this way, Cao Cao returned to the dynasty victoriously, and the picture turned again.
A small pavilion is also carved beams and painted columns.
Among them, the table is elegantly arranged, with a plate of green plums and a pot of wine.
Cao Cao and Liu Bei had already gone to the armor at this moment and sat opposite each other.
"I will make the above table, so that you will become the pastor of Yuzhou in a few days. ”
"Oh, this, this ......"
"You don't need to thank me, it's all the meaning of the saint, but I have a question, please help me. ”
"Prime Minister, please speak. ”
"Xuande has been in all directions for a long time, and he must know the heroes of the world, can you give me one or two?"
That's how the hero of the green plum boiled wine theory came.
......
Bill, as the one who discovered Yuki Kusano, of course he came.
Since he has such a special status as discovering people, of course, he has to do a lot of homework on this "Red Cliff".
The 12 villain books, he has collected them all.
But that's not enough!
He also consulted a large amount of information.
In Bill's opinion, this movie has several difficulties.
First of all, this movie is called "Red Cliff", so should the point in the history of the Three Kingdoms be excerpted as the beginning?
Kusano Yuki chose Cao Cao's Baimenlou to kill Lu Bu.
It can be said that this was a very big surprise, because in Bill's opinion, it seemed a little too 'far'.
That's right, it's still a few years before Chibi.
Moreover, does this incident have an absolute relationship with Chibi?
Wait a minute, it seems that after Baimenlou, it is to deal with Liu Biao, and then defeat Liu Bei, and then ......
Unify the north and wave your army south!?
I see.
Once Bill figured it out, it was absolutely good.
It's just that there are some small problems with this movie, that is, the picture transition is a little too fast.
However, if such a historical story is filmed in every detail, there will indeed be not enough time.
Fortunately, Bill can see it clearly, and at the same time as the transition, there are subtitles.
It's better, but it's still a bit quick.
I'm afraid that as far as movies are concerned, they are indeed too limited by time.
Bill began to recall some details.
Well, not bad.
He really did a lot of research, such as the style of ancient Chinese armor.
The armor that appears in this movie is a very accurate armor piercing.
The history of Zajia is very long, and in the Three Kingdoms period, it can already be done in great detail, and now it is presented in the movie, which is even better.
Don't underestimate the details of this armor, because such details are available in American universities.
The United States is like that, many people are stupid and stupid, there are quite a few people who have the best resources in the world, they are smart.
Zaja gets a compliment from Bill, so, is that all?
After the green plum was boiled, Liu Bei took the opportunity to take up the post, but he was actually the first to go.
Cao Cao most likely wanted to kill him.
Such a situation makes a person unable to hold his breath.
"Your Majesty, are you willing to be manipulated by that Cao Cao?"
Fu Shou, that is, Zhang Ziyi, made suggestions to her 'old classmate' Emperor Han Xian...
