The 620th Round: Sweeping the world

The 2014 Golden Globe Awards and Oscars are known as the "Year of Peng Yichen" for a reason!

At the Golden Globe Awards, the two films "Captain Sully" and "Watchmen" received a total of twelve nominations.

In the end, Peng Yichen alone won Best Screenplay (Captain Sully), Best Supporting Actor (Watchmen), Best Actor in a Drama Film (Captain Sully), Best Director (Watchmen), and Best Drama Film (Watchmen).

For the first time in history, a superhero film won the Golden Globe Awards for Best Picture and Best Director.

The two movies "Captain Sully" and "Watchmen" completely swept the Golden Globe Awards.

It seems that the Golden Globe Awards' obsession with Peng Yichen is really strong, and they must hope that in 2016, when the 2015 Golden Globe Awards are awarded, Peng Yichen will be invited to accept the award on the spot.

And at the Oscars, "Captain Sully" and "Watchmen" are also majestic.

"Captain Sully" received 5 nominations and "Watchmen" received 11 nominations.

And Peng Yichen finally won the Best Original Screenplay (Captain Sully), Best Adapted Screenplay (Watchmen), Best Supporting Actor (Watchmen), Best Picture (Watchmen), a total of 4 little golden figures.

It can also be said to be a big win!

However, in the end, it was a pity that Peng Yichen still did not win the Oscar for Best Actor.

It seems that in the minds of the Oscar judges, Peng Yichen's performance in "Captain Sully" is still a little worse!

This has also become Peng Yichen's global fans, the biggest regret this year!

But no matter how many regrets there are, life is still good.

After half a year of production and more than two months of promotion, "Ready Player One" finally met with fans around the world in early June.

This sci-fi movie, with a production cost of up to 230 million, has been kept absolutely secret from the outside world from the plot to the content, knowing that when the pilot trailer comes out, everyone probably knows that this is a sci-fi movie about virtual reality technology, which will appear in a large number of classic elements of global pop culture in the 80s and 90s.

It wasn't until after the release of the film that fans and viewers around the world discovered that the film was truly a global pop culture.

Critics may not have rated this movie as highly as Watchmen!

However, fans are fascinated by this movie, because this movie is almost a reenactment of their childhood dreams.

In fact, the original work of "Ready Player One" is actually not brilliant in the eyes of many science fiction fans, and the plot is even a bit old-fashioned.

The story takes place in the future world, the outbreak of the energy crisis, the sluggish world economy, coupled with the rapid development of virtual technology and immersive technology, so that many people look for solace on the Internet, and the virtual world "Oasis" was born, becoming the second spiritual home of mankind.

After the death of Halliday, the creator of "Oasis", a video was released, in which Halliday claimed to have placed an easter egg or key to open the "treasure" in the "Oasis", and everyone had the right to get it, and finally the highest score received this inheritance. The poor boy Wade also has such a dream, to get the last treasure, and to work hard for it, and finally under the unremitting search, he found one of the clues, and the oasis world, which is almost unattended, is boiling again because of the treasure hunt. Wade also embarked on an adventure with hundreds of millions of other players.

At first glance, such a story is similar to many adventures, almost a remake of the old-fashioned adventures of the 80s, and it is also very similar to many manga story routines (such as "One Piece").

The setting of the virtual world, in this era of 2015, is actually nothing new, after all, there are many science fiction movies that have mentioned this setting.

But the plot of Peng Yichen's movie after adaptation is obviously not fixed in the plot, and the story framework he came out to basically retain in the movie, the rest is all kinds of crazy "play".

After Peng Yichen's adaptation, the plot of the movie has become very simple, that is, the little people go through many dangers and obstacles, and finally win a big victory, and then go one step further to save the world.

This is a traditional and classic story structure, known as the brave adventure story mode in some writing or drama books, and it is also the most widespread and long-lasting.

But it's easy to say, when the audience watched the movie, they found that the whole film was filled with Peng Yichen very plump.

140 minutes, more than two hours of viewing time!

When all the viewers watched, they didn't feel that it was dragging on at all.

This is Peng Yichen's power, he has made a good balance between the plot, characters and special effects, and the splicing is perfect to have such an effect. A simple story makes a rich movie, showing his skillful filmmaking skills.

The plot of the movie is simple, which is a disadvantage and an advantage at the same time.

The length and width of each movie are limited, and there are too many plots crammed in, so there is not much room for special effects and character building.

As a successful commercial film, special effects are indispensable. So Peng Yichen almost played the special effects from beginning to end, and after a short plot, there will be explosive scenes and special effects, wave after wave of unsettled, with such a rhythm until the end.

Even the most experienced film critics can hardly explain how skillful Bai Peng Yichen is in controlling the pace of the film, and how well he uses various shots.

When you have a world-class special effects team, you can make movies that have really cool special effects shots.

And Peng Yichen happens to have a world-class special effects team, and he also has world-class holographic projection technology.

It can be said that compared with the version of "Ready Player One" filmed by Spielberg himself in his previous life, Peng Yichen's version of "Ready Player One" is most prominent in that his shots in the virtual world are still extremely real, rather than the feeling between animation and reality.

Of course, even with world-class special effects, a movie may not necessarily be successful.

But after fans watched Peng Yichen's "Ready Player One", they found that Peng Yichen's directorial talent and special effects shots collided with a wonderful commercial movie.

After watching the film, many viewers will find out the easter eggs that appear in the movie as the greatest pleasure of watching this movie.

There is even a fan of Peng Yichen in North America who claimed to have found 116 easter eggs in this movie that pay homage to various classics.

When Peng Yichen saw this fan's comments on the Internet, he was amazed.

Because he clearly knows that he has stuffed a total of 121 easter eggs in the script.

In other words, this fan only missed 5 easter eggs, and all the other easter eggs were all caught by him.
