Chapter 510: Dinner Drama
……
The Shadow Maze is the first team copy in the play, and it is also the first shooting scene that Cao Fang has completely built after following the team to the Oriental Film Metropolis.
The first copy to burn a lot of money.
Although the total budget is 200 million, on average, it seems that there is about 20 million for each episode, but in fact, the cost of pure scene layout and special effects production is of course not so high, and the first three episodes are very economical, there are few monsters, the blood corpse is real makeup, and Bill is a puppet toy......
Although the scenes in the first three episodes are also exquisite, they are basically confined to a small space, and if you take those scripts out and plump them out and shoot them separately, they are all low-budget movies.
The production fee for a single episode of Shadow Maze City is seriously stepping on the red line of more than 20 million.
Viewers who have followed the show all the way have not had time to think about the meaning of the foreshadowing in the previous episode, whether the monster Bill is a human or a ghost, an NPC manipulated by someone, or a super data with self-awareness......
The weirdness of the ending didn't have time to think deeply, and the super fast pace of this drama continued to drag the audience's train of thought to rush forward.
After laughing, the protagonist's high-speed reasoning, a wave of Sherlock combined with Konstantin's pretend flow analysis, find out the location of the pentagram on the subway line, and then go straight to the destination with the audience with the unaware supporting role.
The protagonist and his party leave the place of birth, exit the subway station, and arrive in this silent dead city.
Viewers who often play GTA have a vague impression that the city's architectural style seems to be very similar to New York, except that the billboards on the street and the relevant text on the shops are in Chinese.
They walked along the sidewalk beside the tall building, and around the corner was a wide crossroads, and under the black semi-circular shed of the coffee shop, a few black iron seats staggered to and fro, and something seemed to flash in the darkness.
They turned a corner, and there was a large advertisement above the large department store at the intersection, which was actually an advertisement for the game of Infinityland.
It was as if there were just a few of them in the city.
There is not a single light from the surrounding shops and buildings, only some of the street lights on the road emit a steady dim light source.
Only a few viewers will ask questions such as "In which city was the crew shot?", after all, a discerning person can see at a glance that the entire city is built with special effects technology...... But they handled it smartly.
Although the budget could not make completely realistic city special effects, the director made up for this shortcoming with strong stylization, and instead reflected the unique painting style of the game dungeon.
From near to far, the color gradually deepens, the tall buildings in the distance are all shadowed, and behind the clouds and haze on the horizon of tomorrow, the crescent moon that is still half-covering the pipa illuminates half of the sky, but it does not illuminate the darkness that cannot be opened by the buildings in the distance.
So, the upward camera saw this scene.
Under the transparent sea and blue sky, the whole city is like a dark silhouette city with a clear face, only an outline, this kind of anti-natural picture looks very inconsistent, making people feel that the buildings in the distance are like some kind of monster that will open their eyes at any time in the dark, depressing and mysterious.
This copy of the city filter is very DC comics-style.
The first battle was soon encountered on the drawbridge.
A strange baby with an iron-blue texture crawled in front of everyone.
This thing looks like a CG production, not a real person, but the accuracy is at least comparable to the picture quality of foreign stand-alone games, and the curious shape and terrifying temperament are intoxicating.
The baby's head, hollow eyes, arms are sickles, and legs are bent into hooves.
The strange baby opened its mouth, and the layers of its chaotic teeth were sharp, and it was extremely shocking.
When Lu Jingzhen is shooting monsters, he likes to suddenly zoom in on the camera when their faces change, this scary technique is not clever, but it is particularly effective.
"There are five of them. ”
Cao Yifang held the orange pipe wrench in his hand, and stood on the car with a commanding attitude, condescendingly.
The moonlight shimmered on him.
Under the night, before the monster, there is a Batman atmosphere.
He said coldly, "I'll get their attention." ”
Shen Yu'an took the lead, and the other three supporting roles paid attention, with a handsome expression.
With a strange scream, the strange baby was fast, its hind hooves bent, and it bounced suddenly!
The camera slows down suddenly!
Under the moonlight, on the broken car, Cao Fang was dressed in the night, brazenly waved the killing weapon, the strange baby jumped high, his shiny forehead was shining with bronze, and his teeth were hideous.
The beauty of this scene is like a magical oil painting full of grotesque and violent aesthetics.
Bang!
The baby's skull was broken!
Cao Fang closed his eyes.
A viscous dark green liquid splashed all over his face.
The supporting characters' expressions of being handsome turned into disgusting expressions in an instant.
Cao Fang wiped his face, took a sip, and spit out some brains: "Headshot at close range, you have to calculate the angle next time...... The zombie smell of this game is also slightly realistic. ”
In the play, the big man Long Aomin accidentally heard this, and after a little thought, a touch of horror suddenly appeared on his spacious face.
……
The whole copy is not only shocking with special effects, but also with various large-scale shots.
In this round, he PK with the monster baby, smashed his face with a shield, shot his head with a pipe wrench, and stuck a knife in his neck......
Fortunately, the blood of the strange baby is dark green, otherwise it would be too bloody and terrifying to watch.
Then the giant monster they encountered in the police station was even more tragically shot in the head by everyone in turn, and their brains flowed like money.
Maybe for the audience, the monster is still a monster after all, not real enough, and the sense of nausea is not as strong as the sense of fear.
And what about corpses?
There are several corpses in the police station, with different shapes, although most of them are not given frontal shots, but at a cursory glance, the texture is very realistic.
The corpse of a male policeman (with a design similar to a Japanese benzene police uniform) was lying on the side of the door near the exit, his stomach was raised high, and the skin on his face was swollen to almost transparent, looking like it was about to explode.
Before Cao Fang left, he took one more look at the corpse.
His expression gradually became perverted.
Like the slow-motion expression of a sloth in Zootopia, his dead fish eyes widened little by little, and the sparkle in his eyes began to bloom.
"Wait. ”
He paused, looking at the corpse longingly and with delight.
"The fat man's intestines are all out, and his belly is still so big? It's weird! Let me explore it......"
As he spoke, he was going to dig it out.
Barrage:
[Because I took an extra look in the crowd]
[Wow, the protagonist is so perverted, I like it!]
[Corpse: I'm weak, pitiful and helpless]
[Is this scale really okay?!]
【My hand ...... through your belly】
[A knife at the beginning, all the equipment depends on the explosion!Sorry, I made a mistake]
[Infinity Paradise fights monsters without exploding equipment, but corpses hide equipment?]
[Believe me, my country will not have such a cult game in ten years]
The supporting roles in the play play largely play a role in helping the audience complain.
"Brother Jue, it's disgusting, don't mess around with your intuition!"
"Brother...... Is this guy really just a writer in his life?"
"This ...... Big brother, what does he want to do?"
The camera didn't shoot down, just stared at Cao Fang's expression.
He was digging for something seriously, and the sound of churning flesh and blood sounded like it gave goosebumps all over his body.
While digging, he explained: "It's called chaos when there is or aliens in it, and if there is nothing, it can only be regarded as my reasoning error...... In fact, it doesn't hurt to have, have you noticed that in this game, the word is not used as a foul mouth, which may indicate that in some specific scripts, is a word that cannot be avoided, and even the player may be drowned in the ...... Pregnant. ”
[I was looking forward to such a game in reality, but now it's ......]
[This game can't afford to play in the next!]
[I silently put down my chopsticks]
[I also thought it was a dinner drama......]
