Chapter 398: Shyness
No matter how grand the premiere is, no matter how many people come, it is just a pomp, and it is empty after all.
What really determines the box office and influence of a movie is the quality of the movie itself.
After the initial hustle and bustle, the lights in the hall go out, the big screen lights up, and "Resident Evil" begins to air.
Like the original movie in another world, the beginning of this movie is a shot in the laboratory, in which the staff is dressed in chemical protective suits, and even their heads are tightly wrapped, dressed like astronauts walking in space, and this "astronaut" is manipulating the mechanical arm in the laboratory to pack a strange and sci-fi drug.
Just watching such a beginning, it gives people a sense of lofty, completely different from the beginning of previous Chinese movies, "high-tech", "laboratory", "dangerous reagents", "scientific and technological products beyond the times" and other ideas are all pouring out of the audience's minds, although they can't understand what is on the screen, but it does not prevent them from marveling at what is on the camera.
Just at the beginning of this one, it killed a lot of sci-fi films in seconds, not to mention Chinese sci-fi films, and even large-scale sci-fi films in the West.
As the camera transitions, a reagent slowly falls to the ground in slow motion, shattering, and then the camera abruptly gives a close-up of the shattered potion tube, and then quickly turns to the vent.
Although there is no voice-over explanation for these scenes, it does give the audience a strong hint that there is a volatile substance in the broken reagent tube that can travel along the vents, and the heavy background music seems to tell the audience that this seems to be the beginning of all misfortune.
The camera slowly passes through the vent, then comes out from the other end, and turns to a crowded company lobby, and then there are some messy little things, the camera slowly swims in the high-tech corridors, showing the audience the working status of employees in the office.
By now, everything is normal.
It wasn't until the infrared camera saw the broken reagent tube, and then the alarm sounded, breaking the silence in the office area, and everything began to mess up in the picture.
The movie has been broadcast until now, and many viewers at the scene are still confused, they still don't understand what is going on in the movie when they see this.
At this premiere, Guo Dalu's friends in the circle Bai Qing, Qin Yao, Zhao Yuanqi, Guan Sisi, Liang Shangguang, Shen Mingcheng and others also came to cheer, these people are all big names in the film and television industry, when Guo Dalu filmed "East Becomes West", the actors invited were a few of them. They are the first group of people that Guo Dalu came into contact with when he entered the entertainment industry, and they are still in contact with each other often, especially Guan Sisi, Zhao Yuanqi and Bai Qing, who have always had a very good relationship with Wang Xiaolu, as long as they are in Beijing, they will be gathered at Wang Xiaolu's house from time to time, and they can be regarded as acquaintances who often meet.
During this time, because Guo Dalu was always looking for new actors when filming movies, these people collectively crusaded against Guo Dalu, saying that he knew how to push newcomers to the top and forgot about these old friends.
made Guo Dalu very embarrassed, and promised that if he had time, he would definitely get them a few in-depth books, and these people would let him go.
Now that a few of them saw the development of the storyline on the screen, they all felt a little inexplicable, and Guan Sisi whispered: "Why can't I understand it? Is this a science fiction film or a suspense film?"
Shen Mingcheng said: "I don't understand it either, but the last time I watched the Terminator, it was actually similar to the current feeling, first look down, look at it and slowly understand." ”
Zhao Yuanqi said with a smile: "Why does Guo Ye have to make such a brainstorm every time he makes a science fiction film? Just looking at the beginning, it is difficult for people to guess that it is the protagonist." ”
Liang Shangguang sighed, "That's what he is!" He writes martial arts like this, always engaging in some inexplicable people and things at the beginning, and then slowly leading the protagonist out. The last time I watched "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", I always thought that Zhang Cuishan was the hero of that book, and Yin Susu was the heroine. It wasn't until the end that I found out that the protagonist was their son Zhang Wuji!"
He shook his head and said: "This guy's movie is now a fight with his book, if you don't look down well, the storyline behind it may not be able to guess!"
Everyone thought so, "Yes, yes, yes, this guy's brain circuit is different from ordinary people, very evil!"
In the midst of everyone's whispered discussions, the storyline on the big screen has developed to the first tense plot, and the smart computer has become popular and begins to eliminate the people in the entire office area.
This part of the plot is very tense, especially the thrilling scene where some employees escape into the elevator, which is really a bit thrilling. Originally, when watching the movie, many guests at the scene were whispering, but when the storyline progressed here, the whispering disappeared instantly, and everyone focused on the big screen.
The scene of the red queen clearing the hive workers is extremely terrifying, and the performance of this story picture and camera is very tense, especially with the sonorous and powerful music, it really has a shocking feeling.
When seeing the thrilling plot in it, the timid woman couldn't help but exclaim.
However, this plot is only a prelude, and after all employees are cleared by the smart computer, the picture suddenly turns, and the shocking music sounds, and the four big characters with metallic colors "Resident Evil" appear on the screen.
It is only now that the plot of the movie has officially begun.
"Oh I'll go! I wondered at first, why the storyline has been going on for so long, and it doesn't even have a name, it turns out that this is just a prelude!"
"Good guy, the investment in the filming of this introduction is enough for the investment cost of a small-budget movie!"
"In order to tell a story clearly, Director Guo's investment in this early plot is really amazing!"
"No wonder the investment in this drama is so much higher than that of "The Terminator", just looking at this background layout, it is not something that the Terminator can compare, but the money is indeed used in place!"
"Stop talking, keep watching!"
On the screen, when Guo Yunxia's almost naked body appeared in front of the camera, Wang Xiaolu, Guo Yunqiong and others, who were watching the movie, couldn't help laughing, Guo Yunqiong stabbed Guo Yunxia with her elbow, "Sister Xia, shame or not?"
Guo Yunxia's face was red, she almost didn't dare to raise her head, and said in a low voice: "If you say it again, I'm going to be angry!"
As the protagonist of this play, Guo Yunxia still can't let go of it when she appears like this, but fortunately, Guo Dalu is very skillful in shooting, giving the audience the feeling that the heroine is stripped naked, but there is always a shield in front of the camera.
But even so, Guo Yunxia still felt very shy, and when she thought that her body would be seen by so many people in the future, she regretted filming this drama a little.
