Chapter 869: Virus Spread1
Japanese people, like Americans, don't like to read subtitles.
Xu Fei watched the blowing version, which is dubbing. He also doesn't understand Japanese, the translator whispered to explain next to him, and combined with his own script lines, the viewing experience is not good.
"Virus" has not changed much compared to "Train to Busan", but it is more suitable for the Japanese environment.
The background is very large, the virus follows the inland river into the sea, polluting fish, livestock, humans and the sea along the way, and invading East and Southeast Asia. There was even a proposal at the beginning that the US military base should also be turned into a corpse, but after thinking about it, it was deleted.
And when the plot began, the virus had been leaking for a while, and the officials had been hiding it......
Leslie Cheung plays a Hong Kong man who works in Japan, marries a Japanese wife, and divorces and fights for custody of his children.
He is a financial talent with a cool personality, but he loves his daughter very much. The daughter and her mother were arguing to go to her mother, so he had to take her daughter and get on the train to another city.
So the characters appeared one by one, Gong Li's pregnant woman, Song Kanghao's boxer, Sanada Hiroyuki's villain, and Ryoko Hirosue's high school student......
The biggest novelty of the film is that the story takes place in the East, as well as the zombie transformation process and action design.
A train at the end of the day, because it slipped into an infected person, became a disaster in hell. The beginning of the foreshadowing is not in a hurry, and by the 20th minute:
"Are you alright, passenger?"
"Miss?"
"Oh my God, what should I do?"
The beautiful female flight attendant was overwhelmed and took the walkie-talkie to call a colleague to help.
The infected was lying on the ground, in the stage of corpse transformation. I saw that she stood up without bones, standing in a twisted position, her face covered with black and purple veins.
As soon as the flight attendant turned around, he screamed in fright.
It didn't continue here, it was sold for a small pass, followed by the set of pictures that Xu Fei saw at the beginning.
The two baseball team players are fighting, the camera is very low, the body of the flight attendant is passing by, lying on his back, drooping down two strong and full thighs, bursting out of purple-red blood vessels.
"Uh...... Ah......h
The flight attendant let out a groan of pain and staggered forward.
People turned their heads one after another, and only then did they give a frontal shot: a woman lying on her back, buried in her neck and gnawing frantically, blood dripping down her clothes.
The flight attendant struggled and suddenly fell to the ground.
Like a hungry beast, the woman smashed her head hard and continued to bite her neck.
When the prey was completely out of breath, the woman raised her head suddenly, her pupils were gray, her hair was stuck to the blood, and she really let out a beast-like roar.
"What's that?"
"What the hell is going on?"
"Ahh
Before the people could react, another prey was caught and screamed.
And the flight attendant on the ground suddenly moved, his body twitched violently, he opened like a bow, and his arms were stretched in reverse. The slender neck was tilted back, revealing a ghostly face.
His face and mouth were covered with blood, and his teeth were sharp, nailed into his mouth one by one.
"Ahh
The whole carriage became chaotic, and disaster began.
"it!"
Xiao Mo expressed his feelings about watching the movie again, and then looked around.
It's really quiet, of course, it's not absolute, the little girl next to him stared wide-eyed, showed a look of "Si Guoyi", and let out a soft exclamation.
Oh!
Xiao Mo understood, it's not that there is no movement, but that the movement is small.
The rhythm is suddenly tense, and the soundtrack is like a rapid drum beat, knocking on everyone's hearts.
One bites two, two bites four, and four bites eight...... Those who are infected first will be infected later, and eventually they will be autoclaved together in advance. Almost in the blink of an eye, the zombies began to kill in all directions, bleeding from carriage to carriage.
"Ahh
"Let's go, let's go!"
"Help me!"
"Mom!"
Zombies are not the kind of slow ones, but they are fast, with big mouths of blood, and their hands and feet twisted like strange creatures.
Tsui Hark is a cult filmmaker, and he has a strong rendering power. He referenced "Nobody" and also shot a long shot like a side-scrolling arcade game.
The screen moves slowly from right to left:
People run into a carriage, and once they are caught up by the zombies behind them, the whole carriage turns into a gluttonous feast. The survivors continued to run forward, and the army of zombies that gathered more and more chased forward.
I emphasize the door, the door of the carriage junction.
Every time a survivor opens a door, it is like opening an exit to hell, and it brings disaster to innocent people.
The train is narrow and the space is limited, Leslie Cheung is running with his daughter in his arms, and the camera suddenly becomes a subjective perspective, slapping the zombies, blurred flesh and blood, and howling madly......
The zombies gathered more and more, and finally piled together, the front one squeezed, the back pounced, and then the back continued to pounce......
Bang bang bang!
A chase scene, frozen in the sea of corpses in the mountain of corpses.
"Si Guoyi!"
Xiao Mo finally heard someone express his feelings about watching the movie, although it was still a small voice.
He himself was already dumbfounded, this scene has a stimulating rhythm, sharp editing, and excellent use of the camera, almost breathless.
He can't understand the lines and feels bullish!
As soon as the picture turned, the rhythm eased for the time being, and Song Kanghao waited outside the toilet, and Gong Li came out impatiently - it was also a transnational couple.
The woman holds her belly up, and the husband is careful in every way.
Suddenly, the door opened, and one person was thrown to the ground by a zombie, followed by Leslie Cheung, who was holding his daughter, and took the opportunity to slip over.
There is a problem with the original, everyone's language and action are slow, and they have to be slow to pick up. If the reaction is slow, it can be explained by being scared, then the dialogue between people is also slow, it is simply a matter of rhythm.
Song Kanghao was still watching, and Gong Li kicked him directly: "Help!"
"Uncle, what are you doing?"
Song Kanghao, who had a big pie face, was quite gentle, picked up the zombie, and the zombie rushed to him, blocking it with two thick arms, and said in his mouth: "Uncle, are you crazy?"
"Uncle, you're rude like this. ”
"Shhh...... Whew......"
"Uncle!"
"You idiot!"
Gong Li rushed up and slammed his bag: "He's not a human anymore, hit him!"
"Oooh!"
Bang!
True One-Punch Man.
The survivors gathered in a carriage, and Leslie Cheung was intellectually responsible, and found that the zombies would not open the door, and they would attack when they saw the prey, so they pasted newspapers on the glass.
It's quiet outside, and it's safe for the time being.
The original version was to look at the mobile phone to know the news, and now there is no smart phone, so the TV news is inserted.
In order to increase the (box office) identity of other regions, not only Japan, but all of Asia is suffering because the virus has been leaking for some time.
"There is a phenomenon of people biting people in Hong Kong and Taiwan!"
"The Thai government is under emergency martial law!"
"Mass riots in Seoul, South Korea!"
"Two motorcycles collided in India, killing and injuring dozens of people!"
............
"Train to Busan" is a very good commercial film.
Commercial films are not profound, the truth is simple and easy to understand, there are character changes of the protagonist, the greatness and despicability of human nature, and some social contradictions in South Korea......
The overall story is very good, the urgency is appropriate, and it always maintains a level that makes people want to continue watching.
The story of "Virus" has not changed much, and the background is nothing more than the shallow level of Japanese society, which is also easy to understand.
When everyone is safe for the time being, how will it unfold in the future? The train commander will make an announcement that it will stop at a certain station, and the Self-Defense Forces will arrange it there and get off the train.
The villain of Hiroyuki Sanada and the homeless man of Tadanobu Asano began to increase their roles, and the conductor of Fumiyo Kohinata also appeared, the most familiar face in Japanese dramas.
When everyone got out of the car, they felt that something was wrong, it was empty. When I entered the station and walked out, I didn't see anyone.
The audience can probably guess what the result will be.
But when a group of military zombies wearing Self-Defense Force uniforms, with black and purple veins on their faces, and a bloody mouth, pounced on them, the audience finally resounded with a unified, low exclamation.
"Ahh
"Help!"
"Go back, go back!!"
The pot was boiled in an instant, the screams and screams were continuous, and someone was knocked down every second, and the station became a restaurant for a feast, the end of the world.
The survivors were drastically reduced, with less than half of them fleeing back to their carriages.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
Leslie Cheung, Song Kanghao, Kashiwahara Chong and others were the last group, desperately locking the glass door and running away.
And the soldier zombie seemed to be more combative, slamming the gate and slamming the door, only holding on for three seconds, and the glass shattered to the ground.
The corpses also rushed in like a tide.
It's like a hill.
This shot was shot several times, falling to the ground one by one, and then composing them together in the later stage.
“......”
Xiao Mo shook his head, understanding why he couldn't shoot it in the mainland, who would dare to get this Nima PLA zombie?
And fled in a hurry and got into different carriages.
Gong Li took Xia Fan and the homeless man to hide in the toilet, Leslie Cheung, Song Kanghao, and Bai Yuan Chong gathered together, and their respective daughters, wives, and girlfriends were on the other side.
"Just open four carriages......"
The boxer took off his coat, revealing his thick upper body, and wrapped strips of cloth and tape around his hands: "I'll take the lead, you're in the middle, you're behind." ”
And so the game begins.
This is the good pacing of the story, and there are no urine spots throughout the whole process.
The three of them broke through one level after another, and Leslie Cheung found that the zombies relied on hearing to identify and could not attack in the dark, so he used mobile phone ringtones, tunnels and other covers to arrive at the destination without danger.
As a result, at the instigation of the villain, everyone actually locked the door and forbade them to enter.
The fighter sacrificed to protect several people.
Leslie Cheung and others easily entered it, angrily beating the villain, the villain broke free and continued to agitate:
"He's infected!"
"He's infected! Look at his eyes...... Let's get him out!"
"These people have to get out!"
“......”
The voice seemed to disappear, and the camera swept over the survivors, greeted by hostile gazes. In the next second, both men, women and children were shouting:
"Get out!"
"Hurry up!"
"Let's go!"
Several people had to leave.
Hey, the audience is so depressed!
But then, the two tourist old ladies, one of whom had turned into a zombie outside the door, and the rest of the two looked at those people coldly:
"A bunch of scum!"
She staggered, resolutely walked over and opened the door.
The villain yells, "Old woman, stop the old woman!"
"Ahh
"Ahh
............
The film is actually not long, about two hours.
The audience feels that there are a lot of things that have passed, and it is extremely full.
Eventually, the train stopped and could not move forward. I saw a huge field with more than a dozen railroad tracks, full of all kinds of trains that were out of service.
Flames erupted and smoke billowed out.
The conductor found a locomotive that could still move, and at this time there were only four people left: the male protagonist, the pregnant woman, the daughter, and the villain.
The villain rushed up first and killed the conductor.
The rest of the people chased behind, and then behind, the overwhelming zombies chased frantically. A total of three corpse tides were filmed, the first time on the train, the second time at the halfway station, and the third time now.
Each time there are more than one time, and each time the picture is more shocking.
Leslie Cheung hugged his daughter and struggled to climb up, dragged Gong Li up, and went to the cab to investigate first.
In the original version, the protagonist obviously saw that the villain had been infected, so he didn't do anything, and he had to resist the corpse attack of the other party...... This is not called human nature, it is called sickness!
Here's the change.
Dry directly.
"Ahh
"Daddy!"
The daughter cried and had to go up, but was stopped by Gong Li.
Leslie Cheung was accidentally bitten and desperately threw Hiroyuki Sanada down. He didn't have time to do anything sad and immediately ran into the cab.
"You listen carefully to me, listen to me......"
He was sweating profusely, covered in blood, and his hand pointing at the operating table was rapidly rotting: "This should be the brake, you can pull this when you get to a safe place!"
Then picked up his daughter again:
"Xiaomei, it's okay, it's okay, look at Dad, look at Dad!"
His breathing became more and more rapid, "Listen to me, you have to stay with your aunt all the time, you know? The front is safe, safe, mom will come to pick you up......"
"Daddy!"
"Dad, don't go! it's all my fault...... Whining...... Woohoo......"
Xia Fan's children contributed their acting skills, at least they cried naturally.
Leslie Cheung looked at her, his facial muscles began to tremble, and he hung his head and cried, crying silently. Then he shook off his daughter's hand and ran out of the cab.
"Daddy!"
The child was heartbroken, Gong Li hugged her, and she was also crying.
This kind of movie, it is easy to ignore acting skills when stimulating scenes, but such scenes are highlighted at once.
He seemed to be silent inside, but as soon as he came out, he suddenly cried and staggered to the railing...... What everyone sees is a man who is in pain.
Crying and crying, there was no crying again, only soft and sad piano music remained.
He closed his eyes, then opened them again, their eyes gray, his face crawling with veins, revealing a stiff and unnatural smile.
Before the last shred of sanity is lost, he falls forward and falls off the front of the car.
......
When the front of the car stopped, the pregnant woman pulled the girl into the dark passageway.
The girl sings the song that her father taught:
“Edelweiss, edelweiss,Every m you greet me......”
It's a well-known song that Chinese means "Edelweiss, Edelweiss, welcome me early in the morning...... Edelweiss, Edelweiss, forever bless my hometown......"
The child's voice reverberated clearly and purely in the tunnel, and also spread to the opposite side.
On the opposite side were soldiers with loaded guns.
"I can't confirm it, please instruct!"
"Shoot!"
"Wait, it's the survivors, the survivors are found!"
“Edelweiss, edelweiss,Bless my homeland forever......”
The screen is dark, and the whole film ends.
Xu Fei looked around, there was no light, and the list of production staff was scrolling at the end of the film. The audience didn't move, they just stared at the list, and the lights came on after scrolling.
People got up and walked out, and there was nothing to talk about.
Tut!
Teacher Xu has been blinded, do you like it or not?
He left the theater and called Lao Song, and Lao Song also wondered: "Yasuda said that the reaction was very good, but I didn't even look at the reaction!"
Anyway, they are quite confident, saying that word of mouth comes up and can do long-term screenings. ”
“......”
Xu Fei shrugged, okay, if you don't experience it yourself, I really don't know what other people's habits are.
(And ...... )
