Chapter 187: The Premiere (I)
Chen Xin raised his head and looked in the direction where Mu Yunshan was, and the latter's gaze swept over Wang Xiaoyue with some playfulness, and then nodded at Chen Xin.
Wang Xiaoyue glanced at Mu Yunshan, as if she sensed something, took Chen Xin's hand, and shouted, "Brother Chen Xin, what does she see you doing?"
Chen Xin shook Wang Xiaoyue's little hand vigorously, and whispered a few words in Wang Xiaoyue's ear, Wang Xiaoyue looked at Chen Xin with a surprised face, and said, "What, she is actually ......?"
Chen Xin smiled, then put on 3D glasses, pointed to the big screen and said, "The movie has begun." ”
"Uh-huh!"
Wang Xiaoyue showed a happy smile on her face again, and pillowed her head on Chen Xin's shoulder.
Not far away, Mu Yunshan pursed her lips and turned her face away.
……………
The screen lit up.
Most of the people who are already familiar with the opening credits of Cybertron Digital and Horse Racing Galloping Films, after the opening animation, a text emerges in the dark:
If an iron house is windowless and indestructible, and there are many sleeping people in it, they will soon suffocate to death, but they will fall from slumber to death, and they will not feel the sorrow of death. Now that you have cried out, and have alarmed some of the more sober men, and caused this unfortunate few to suffer irremediaibly in their deathbed, do you think you are worthy of them? - Lu Xun.
This is a quote from Mr. Lu Xun in the novel "Country Teacher", which was taken by Ning Hao and placed at the beginning of the film.
Da-da-da-da. Footsteps rang out in the empty hallway.
A doctor in a white lab coat came to the end of the hallway with a diagnosis report in his hand, and he gently pushed open the door to the ward.
The names of the staff involved in the filming, such as the lead actors, screenwriters, and art directors, began to be displayed on the screen.
It can be seen that the condition of this hospital is not very good, although the walls are painted with green paint, there are still many mottled traces, old-fashioned iron frame beds and enamel medical equipment, which look a bit like the style of the Chinese 90s.
"Mr. Li, this is your diagnostic report. ”
The doctor hands the test report to the patient on the bed.
The patient struggled to sit up from the bed and reached for his black-rimmed glasses to put on. Look at the diagnostic report in your hand.
"Esophageal cancer?"
The patient looked up. His expression fluctuated slightly, and he quickly calmed down.
Judging from his face alone, Mr. Li is less than forty years old, but he has white hair and a thin figure between his temples. He looked like an old man in his fifties and sixties.
The doctor smiled, "Teacher Li." You're in luck. If it weren't for this injury, esophageal cancer might not have been detected. Rest assured, it's still early days. As long as you do surgery, you can be cured, but if it takes a few months, it will really be incurable. ”
Teacher Li thought for a while, reluctantly showed a smile, and asked, "If you have surgery, how much will it cost?"
The doctor said: "If you go to the big hospital in the province to do it, there will be a poverty subsidy, and you should be able to reduce a lot of fees, so you can pay 20,000 yuan yourself!"
Teacher Li asked again, "If I don't have surgery, how long can I live?"
The doctor looked at the patient with some puzzlement, and was stunned for a long time before saying, "Half a year!"
Teacher Li let out a long sigh of relief, as if he had been greatly comforted, and muttered, "In this case, at least I can send this graduating class away." ”
A line of words appeared in the picture: Ning Hao, Liu Cixin's works, and then, these four words disappeared, and "Country Teacher" appeared in the camera.
There was a slight discussion at the scene, judging from the plot at the beginning, it was impossible to tell that this was a science fiction film. However, most of you already have some understanding of the plot in "The Country Teacher", so it is not surprising.
The screen darkened again, and melodious music sounded.
The picture turns in an instant, and an empty and dark space appears in the shot, and it can only be judged from the starlight in the distance whether it is outer space.
In the next second, there was an uproar in the theater, and an irregular object appeared in the void, and as the camera zoomed in, it could be seen that it was the wreckage of a battleship, and the hideously twisted metal seemed to tell people how much damage it had suffered before it was destroyed.
Then, more and more floating objects appeared in the shot, most of them were similar to the wreckage of the battleship that appeared before, very few were intact, some were even distorted into metal ropes up to billions of kilometers by space, and there were also smooth planes with an area of tens of millions of square kilometers.
It can be seen that this should be an ancient battlefield.
A deep voiceover sounded: "This ancient battlefield witnessed the fierce battle between two powerful civilizations in the galaxy because of the competition for survival, more than 20,000 years ago, the powerful fleet of the Silicon Empire launched a surprise attack on the carbon-based Federation, and since then, the prelude to the galactic super war has begun. ”
Shots of the heavy warships of the Silicon-based Empire using the energy of the stars to make a time-flight jump begin to appear.
Opening the space-time wormhole consumes a lot of energy from the star, causing the star's spectrum to move towards the red end.
When millions of warships perform this stellar leap at the same time, the redshift effect is terrifying.
A 10,000-light-year-long red band of light appeared at the edge of the galaxy, like a scarlet blood tide, rapidly surging towards the realm of the carbon-based federation.
With the support of Cybertron Digital's CG special effects, accompanied by melodious music, the majestic war soon unfolded in the eyes of the audience.
The raid of the Silicon-based Federation caught the Carbon-based Federation by surprise, and Green Ocean, which was at the forefront, became the first victim of the Silicon-based Empire.
When the battleships of the Silicon-based Empire vaporized the Green Ocean Star with a laser, in a very short time, the Eden-like planet turned into a boiling cauldron, and five billion Green Ocean people died in extreme pain. The cooked organic matter turns the planet into a pot of green soup.
The 3D glasses and realistic visual effects made the audience exclaim.
There are also some women who cover their eyes with their hands, and they can't bear to witness this cruel scene, but they don't want to miss this visual feast, so they have to put their eyes between their fingers to peek.
Zuihou, the ocean has been evaporated, and the once beautiful green ocean star has become a hellish gray planet wrapped in thick steam.
Compared with Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters, Cybertron's digital use of special effects and the delicacy of the picture in "The Country Teacher" make people feel refreshed.
In particular, the next super battle that took place on the second spinning arm of the galaxy was vividly displayed in front of people in a scene that could only be expressed in words.
Many reporters and film critics sitting in the back row also put down their pens and focused their attention on this visual feast.
During the war, both sides unscrupulously detonated more than 2,000 supernovae with singularity bombs. The scene of the stellar explosion is perfectly displayed on the screen. Every time a star explodes, it takes away countless lives, and these fireworks in the darkness of space turn that area into a sea of radiation.
Especially at the height of the battle, an unimaginably large number of warship groups on both sides in order to carry out tactical maneuvers. A large number of ultra-short-distance space-time transitions were made. And some interstellar fighters when fighting in space. The distance of the space-time jump is unbelievably short to several kilometers! In this way, the space-time structure of the ancient battlefield is full of holes, like a large cheese that has been drilled by rats with countless long holes inside.
Some ships have accidentally strayed into this area, and in an instant they have been twisted into a thin metal rope by the distorted space.
There are also some spacecraft that are instantly crushed into a film with an area of hundreds of millions of square kilometers but a thickness of only a few atoms. Then it was immediately torn to shreds by the radiant winds.
But more often than not, ships become the pieces of metal they were built on, or immediately old enough to be left with a dilapidated shell, everything inside turns to ancient dust, and the crew instantly returns to an embryonic state or a pile of bones......
When these mythical interstellar images appeared in the theater, the scene was silent, and everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.
Although the interstellar war scenes in the novel are very well portrayed, no one expected that Cybertron Digital would be able to do this.
Turning a science fiction novel into a movie is not as simple as people think.
Especially for science fiction movies, there are more things involved.
From the character model of the battleship, to how the battleship should maneuver in the war, and how to express the time and space transition in the language of the movie, these are all big problems.
Even for science fiction masters like Asimov, Hollywood has only borrowed many ideas from his novels, rather than copying them all.
A typical example is the Three Laws of Robots, a classic law that has been borrowed by Hollywood countless times, but the novel "I, Robot" has never been adapted into a movie by Hollywood.
This is especially true for The Village Teacher.
When Horse Racing Galloping Company bought the adaptation rights of "The Country Teacher", it had been filed with the GD General Administration, but in the end it was stuck in the movie script.
This is also the reason why Weishenme has so many science fiction novels, but very few are adapted into science fiction movies.
For "The Country Teacher", many of the written descriptions are difficult to turn into movie images, but thanks to the steel hammer, this well-informed little guy makes everything in the novel come true.
Even when director Ning Hao saw the CG video made by, he said that it was beyond his imagination, let alone seeing the full version of the live audience for the first time.
Therefore, Ning Hao used a method similar to a documentary to describe the causes and process of this war, but no one felt monotonous.
Cybertron Digital's CG footage perfectly holds this part of the content together, and all viewers are looking forward to what the next shot will bring.
The impact of the mere picture has already convinced the audience who attended the premiere on the spot, and Cybertron Digital's jishu ability in sci-fi CG has been recognized by everyone.
In fact, this is also understandable, not to mention the delicacy and delicacy of the picture, not to mention those high-end and high-grade starship models, just in terms of science fiction core, "Country Teacher" is a notch higher than Hollywood's interpretation of science fiction movies.
At a time when Hollywood uses movie special effects to attract the audience's attention, the special effects of the country teacher have touched the core of science fiction supported by countless jishu details and imagination.
As long as you know a little bit about the film industry. You all know what that means.
A "Bring Her Eyes" made Cybertron Digital a giant in the domestic film digital special effects industry.
A "Country Teacher" may not make Cybertron Digital a giant in the digital special effects industry of all shijie films.
Thinking about it this way, the CEOs of those domestic film companies looked at Chen Xin even more hotly.
No wonder Warner Studios is willing to spend such a big price to sign the distribution rights of "Country Teacher", judging from these more than 20 minutes alone, it is simply unreasonable that "Country Teacher" is not popular.
Someone once sourly commented that "The Country Teacher" was lucky, and if it weren't for the Las Vegas air battle, "The Country Teacher" would not have been favored by Hollywood.
But without quality assurance, how could Hollywood be willing to sign the film?
And even if "The Country Teacher" temporarily abandons the North American market, as long as it can do well in Europe and Asia. Hollywood can't turn a blind eye forever.
There are more people who want to make money.
……………
The movie goes on.
The depiction of the background and course of the war is nearing completion. The picture suddenly turned, and a square area gradually appeared in space, as if a square opening had been cut out in the background of brilliant stars, and the sides of this area were about 100,000 kilometers long. The interior of the area is a darkness darker than the surrounding space. It feels like a kind of void within a void.
Soon. From this black square, a number of entities began to emerge, and they were of various shapes. They are the size of the moon and are a dazzling silver color.
These objects are growing more and more and form a neat square of cubes. The silver phalanx majestically sails out of the black square, and the two form a mosaic hanging on the eternal wall of the universe, which is based on the absolute black body of square velvet, neatly inlaid with small silver components of pure silver light.
It was as if a cosmic symphony solidified, and gradually, the black squares dissolved in the starry sky, the stars filled its place, and the silver phalanx was solemnly suspended between the stars.
The theater resounded with the exclamations of the audience, and the footage of such a magnificent fleet group appeared for the first time in the film.
Next, the camera focuses on a warship that is significantly different in appearance from other ships.
Through the portholes of the battleship, several bizarre humanoids that clearly belong to the leader of the fleet can be seen communicating through the intelligence field.
In order to represent this type of communication, the steel hammer has ingeniously set up a crystal-like organ on the top of the alien's head, and when they talk, these crystal organs will flash different color fluctuations.
However, in order to make it easier for the audience to accept, these people are still voiced in the film, and they are specially explained with words.
The fleet commander's gaze looked through the porthole, looked at the dense and countless fleet groups in the void, and said: "The war is finally over!"
The senator said, "yes, it's finally over!"
The crystal of the Supreme Archon lit up: "As long as we establish a five-hundred-light-year wide isolation zone in the middle of the first spiral arm, most of the stars in the isolation zone will be destroyed, and the silicon-based empire will no longer be able to perform stellar frog jumping, and if they want to invade our carbon-based federation, they can only cross this five-hundred-light-year distance at sub-light speed, so that the silicon-based empire is actually imprisoned at the top of the first spiral arm, and can no longer pose any serious threat to the carbon-based civilization in the central region of the galaxy." ”
The senator said to the Supreme Archon with a vibrating intelligence field: "I have brought the will of the Parliament, and they still strongly recommend: to screen the stars in the barrier for life-level protection before destroying them." ”
"I understand the council. Enough blood has been shed in this long war, and the most urgent need to rebuild in the galaxy is respect for life. This respect is not only for carbon-based life, but also for silicon-based life, and it is on the basis of this respect that the carbon-based federation has not completely eliminated silicon-based civilization. But the silicon-based empire does not have this affection for life, and they will still pose a mortal threat to us. In the foreseeable future, their recovery and development at the top of the first spiral arm will be rapid, so we must build a sufficiently wide separation zone between the carbon-based federation and the silicon-based empire. ”
The Fleet Commander added: "Under these circumstances, it is not realistic to screen the hundreds of millions of stars in the isolation zone for life-level protection, and although the first spiral arm is the most inhospitable region of the Milky Way, the number of stars with life planets in it may still reach a frog-hopping density, which is dense enough for a medium-sized warship to leapfrog, and even if only one medium-sized warship of a silicon-based empire breaks into the territory of the carbon-based Federation, the damage that could be caused is enormous." Therefore, in the isolation zone, only civilization-level screening can be carried out. We had to sacrifice the lower life around some of the stars in the Isolation Zone in order to save more higher and lower life in the Milky Way. I have made this clear to Parliament. “
"Parliament also understands you and the Federal Defense Council, so I'm bringing only advice and not legislation," the senator said. However, stars that have formed civilizations above level 3C in the isolation zone must be protected. “
"There is no need to question that," the Supreme Archon's intelligence field flashed a firm red, "the detection of civilization on the stars with planets in the isolation zone will be very strict!"
The fleet commander said: "Actually, I think you are too worried, the first spiral arm is the most desolate desert in the galaxy, where there will be no civilization above level 3C." ”
"I hope so. The Supreme Archon and the Senator sent out the message at the same time, and the resonance of their intelligent fields caused a solitary plasma ripple to spread out over the silvery metal earth. (To be continued......)
