When "Source Code" was promoted, it also played the way of "Inception": a high-IQ film!

It's a deliberate hype of the concept of eight-minute time-traveling, source code...

It's like Inception...

In addition to that, there is also money saving!

In the behind-the-scenes interview that was released, there was an original quote from visual effects supervisor Steven Querry:

"When we were filming Source Code, we had to scratch our heads over a $60,000 prop, and $60,000 was just the basic cost of filming Avatar for half a day. When that happened, I realized that this film was different from what I had done before, which was that we had to do 6 million dollars for 60,000 dollars. ”

"120 million, less than $20 million to make a science fiction film of this level, I'm still quite proud"

There is also the sentence of Ding Yan, the head of the special effects department:

"Filming the blast had to be very precise, and the blasting started with a passing car and went down in a chain until every car was blown away. When we shoot explosives, we have to make sure that the explosions come in this order. ”

After the blasting was completed, the staff composited the CG pictures of the train and the red house on the computer, and added debris, dust, firelight and other materials to embellish the explosion. ”

"A lot of people think we must have shot a lot of explosions, but we just reused it seven times. ”

"We did this shot for five months, and it cost 4 million for the explosion and at least 5 million for the special effects!"

"We are proving that Chinese special effects and good movies can take off!

......

Okay, go back to Zhang Xiaobei and Tangtang...

Zhang Xiaobei is a film critic, he watches movies as a whole, Tangtang is different, she only watches Lu Xiaoran's role!

"You're waiting for a train, and the train will take you far away, and you know where you're going, but you can't be sure where the train is going to take you, but that's okay – because we'll be together forever. ”

That's probably the story that Source Code is trying to tell!

The movie begins on a train traveling at high speed.

Lu Xiaoran woke up, and Liu Yifei, who was sitting opposite him, seemed to be very familiar with him.

But what she knew was not Lu Xiaoran, but another person.

Lu Xiaoran tried to explain his identity, but to no avail, just as Lu Xiaoran was about to find out the truth of the incident, the train suddenly exploded, and everything was in ashes.

"it!"

Zhang Xiaobei was taken aback...

The 3D effect was fantastic, he seemed to feel an explosion right in front of him...

Without waiting for him to think about it, the plot continued:

The "dead" Lu Xiaoran woke up and found himself in a strange room.

At this time, a female commander named Wan Fang began to explain everything to Lu Xiaoran.

It turns out that he was selected by a secret base to participate in a secret mission called "source code".

But each crossing can only go back to 8 minutes before the train collided.

Because there is intelligence that the killer of the train collision claimed that he would go to the center of Shanghai in six hours to cause an even more destructive explosion.

“... This scale, so amazing?"

Secret base...

Human experiments...

Shanghai...

Bombings, terrorist attacks...

Can these be on the big screen?

Of course, this secret base itself is a villain, but at the end, a subtitle is added that the secret base is accepted by the military...

Then, Lu Xiaoran returned to the source code again and again, looking for clues in the train, and finally found the real murderer.

At this point, the story has been going on for sixty minutes...

And then the plot takes a steep turn...

Lu Xiaoran begged Wan Fang, he hoped to return to the car, say goodbye to Liu Yifei, and then let Wan Fang unplug his life support system and end his life.

He didn't want to live in a program.

The problem is, Lu Xiaoran is the most suitable carrier for the source code project for so long!

Gu Feng, who plays the role of a scientist, has even reported to the above that he has succeeded!

Wan Fang is in a dilemma...

......

Zhang Xiaobei knows very well that this is deliberately setting up suspense!

Or rather, to please the market.

He knew that Lu Xiaoran would definitely let Wan Qian unplug the life-support system...

Because this is in line with the requirements of the masses - a true, good, and beautiful ending!

Sure enough, Wan Qian unplugged the life-support system and returned Lu Xiaoran to freedom...

And by extension, the concept of parallel worlds...

'Cherish every second!'

'Everything will be fine'

Zhang Xiaobei suddenly felt that it was a pity - how good it would be if this movie stayed at that time of kissing!

Strictly speaking, in the first 80 minutes, this is a classic theme of repeated travel, if you obey the setting of hard science fiction, when Lu Xiaoran successfully lifts the explosion crisis, eight minutes later, Wan Qian closes the life system.

At this time, as soon as the ecstasy, frozen kiss ended, Lu Xiaoran in the train would be gone.

As a result, "Source Code" gave an incredible ending, and Lu Xiaoran's personality ideas were still implanted in the history teacher...

Forcibly introduce the concept of parallel worlds!

Finally, I sent a text message to Wan Qian...

As a science fiction film, "Source Code" is too soft.

It uses the shell of hard science fiction, but in the last five minutes, it talks about some love and heroism between men and women, the main theme, reunion, and everyone is positive.

But this movie has a good look!

In each repetition, the editing speed is getting faster and faster, because the audience is more and more familiar with the action in these eight minutes, so it only takes a few shots to pass through it, and there are more and more close-ups, the single scene at the beginning, used to explain the scene, enter the situation, and then the faster and faster close-ups are amazing, concise and gripping!

Every explosion can make people break out in a cold sweat!

It's a pity...

If you only stay on the train for eight minutes, this movie is undoubtedly worth a nine!

Now, I can only score 7.5 points, which is a shame...

Then he looked around, and a bunch of people had satisfied smiles on their faces...

“...”

This one...

......

The sugar candy of Xingmei Cinema kept shouting:

"So handsome!"

“... How did you make this half?"

“... Hmph, I saw him sticking his tongue out!"

There were no outsiders present, and the atmosphere was very relaxed - chartered, this is the atmosphere you want!

Not only is she screaming, but a group of girls are very relaxed, exclaiming from time to time...

It's just that she didn't choose Orange Studios, if Lu Xiaoran knew, she would definitely spank her!

There is no need to go into detail about the viewing process, in short, the heart is surging.

It's almost over, and Tangtang dragged Liu Shishi and the others out of the hall, thinking that no one knew...

I thought it was beautiful, but I was blocked before I got out of the theater.

"Tangtang, are you chartering today?"

"There are a lot of comments on the Internet, this movie is surprisingly good, 120 million can make such an effect, I can't believe it, what do you think?"

"Wait!"

Tangtang waved his hand and asked, "You... How do you know?"

"Weibo!"

"Someone has already said your location!"

"Yes, we've been waiting for half an hour!"

Tangtang looked at Liu Shishi and could only be interviewed: "The box office, I really can't predict it, but I think it won't be less than 500 million..."

"Do you think it can be over a billion?"

“... I don't know, of course I hope to be over a billion... Eh, don't scribble!"

"Shi Shi, are you also a fan of Director Lu?"

“... Yes, I've been looking forward to working with Director Lu. ”
