Chapter 362: The Birth of a New Culture
"Wow-"
Almost all of the 3,845 North American theater ticket halls had the same scene, with many young people waiting for the next screening of "Firefly" gathering here, chatting, reading magazines, and playing with their mobile phones; and there were also many prospective audiences who took precious tickets to go to other places and then come back, three hours before and after, which was really tormenting! 2003-2005, I had been looking forward to it for two years! It turned out to be three hours later than others, and those people were enjoying the movie, and Alice was walking around, so depressed that she was about to cry: "I'll just stay here and wait! I'm so angry, oh my God!"
"You don't understand, I really like Wonder Young! But his two sci-fi movies, I've missed the first show of "District 9", and now ......" The more she spoke, the more excited she became, tears welled up in her eyes, and she viciously scolded the young man in front of her who was interested and shut up: "I asked you to queue up to buy tickets during the pre-sale! You said it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay! Do you think we're coming to see "Batman"!!Bad date!!
She suddenly glanced at a figure in the ticket buying line, and couldn't help but scream in surprise: "Papà! Why are you there!" Alice's father, who wanted to hide over there, was very embarrassed, this was his daughter's first date, and he couldn't rest assured, so he ...... It's really that some people and die-hard fans are too contemptuous of Wang Yang's popularity and the public's expectations for "Firefly", and now they can only accept the punishment of waiting. At the same time, all the "Firefly" screening halls, the audience is enjoying this fresh sci-fi world, with an exclamation, on the big screen on the tail cabin of the Tranquility, I saw Reva jump up without warning, the soundtrack suddenly became weird and nervous, Mal, Janeny, Zoe also reacted quickly, Huo Di pulled a gun to his waist, Kelly screamed: "Ahhhh
When Reva jumped to the top and stopped in mid-air, the camera slowed down for half a second, and with a bang, her two long legs kicked directly into Janie's neck and chest, and Jani fell to the ground with a muffled scream, and the falling Reva held the edge of the box with both hands, and her brown hair hung down into the box, she had already kicked backwards with a churn, and Shuangteng suddenly fell to Zoe with her head and face, and then screamed "Huh!" and she also stood on the other side of the box!
"Wow!" The audience was a little frightened, especially Jessica's fans, is this still the singing and dancing, youthful and cute sweetheart angel?
"Don't move!" On the big screen, Mal, who was still safe and sound on the left, carried a cool classical-style long revolver and aimed it at the mysterious girl who was on his back: "I don't care what kind of monster you are, don't move!" Under the close-up shot, Ruiva's face in the focus area is still expressionless, there is a trace of gloom in the cold, and the soundtrack sounds, she moved instantly, bent down and rushed over, Mar shot with a "bang", missed! Instead, he almost hit Kelly, and the girl frowned and screamed: "Captain, it's me!!"
Reva has rushed to Marr in front of him in a dodge, not a level of competition, she knocked out Mar's weapon with a few hands and feet, and a few defensive dodges, Mar couldn't hit at all, she suddenly took the middle and pinched Mar's neck at once, Mu Ran's face made people feel terrifying and hideous, "Peng!!" A hard punch hit Marr in the cheek, and under the slow motion of high-speed photography, his whole head swayed with a layer of concussion, as if it was shattered.
"Whew!" The screening room was a low exclamation, as an action movie fan, Sidney was a little dumbfounded, Reva is a genre of Chinese kung fu, Marr tends to fight freely, this set of warm-up martial arts shots has other aspects of "Firefly" in common, that is, it is very different from other similar movies! Science fiction films have long been uncommon to use Chinese kung fu, the most famous is naturally the "Matrix" series, but in interstellar science fiction, this is the first time.
But what is fascinating is that the moves that show the speed of the move are so explosive, but they are also beautiful, under this style and temperament, the sequence arrangement of the shots is still so mature and natural, and it does not make people feel dizzy or young and simple, on the contrary, there are some novel camera angles and techniques! This group of martial arts scenes is the same as the battle scenes of the Tranquility Valley and the train robbery under the real and gorgeous special effects, which is a top-notch visual enjoyment.
Awesome! A lot of action movie fans can't help but praise that Magic Yang is worthy of being a kung fu master who has practiced martial arts since childhood! Sometimes a set of shots can already be seen to be level, at least he can control the scenes of several people freely.
“…… There was no malice in my words. At this time, Mal fell to the ground motionless and seemed dead, and Janeny and Zoe, who were almost unable to breathe, were unable to get up for a while. Kelly, who was pale, put her hands in front of her, and stepped back again and again: "I really don't have any malice...... she pointed casually: "Look over there!"
Reva didn't react at all, and continued to approach step by step, and Kelly almost smiled: "That's a compliment. Affected by the tension, the audience couldn't laugh, Reva grabbed Kelly's neck, Mal and they were still lying on the ground! Communicator Walsh's question "What's wrong?" would not have an effect, just as everyone was worried, Reva suddenly closed her eyes, fell softly on Kelly and fainted, Kelly rolled her eyes at a loss, and let out a smirk: "Hehe!
"It's fine. Many viewers breathed a sigh of relief, and they couldn't bear to see such a beautiful Kelly being knocked down with a punch.
At Cityalk Cinema, Claire applauded silently with excitement, and Reva's violent appearance was impressive!Previously, she was worried that Jessica Alba's screen transformation would not work, because she felt that Natalie Portman's temperament could be fierce, such as in the stills and trailer of "V for Vendetta", but now Jessica shows a different kind of beauty, she puts down her sweetheart image and becomes very cold and gloomy, like a ghost girl floating on the lake, with wet hair and a godless face...... Playing prettier than me!" Natalie gulped down on potato chips and touched her hooded head, and suddenly a very boring thought flashed: "Maybe it's because she's prettier than me, boring! In the other screening room, Rachel smiled, after so many years, of course she figured out why she "lost" in the first place, not simply knowing the order or appearance, Magic Jan is the favorite pistachio sweetheart girl. In the movie theater, Jessica turned her head and glanced at Wang Yang, who was fascinated, for example, she seems to be a lot uglier on the big screen, no, pregnant women are the most beautiful!
Some women are active, but the audience and film critics have long been fascinated by the movie, and even the symbolism of the shots, lines and other details is flawless, but they know that it is definitely not nothing.
The recovered Marrs first handcuffed the mysterious girl and tied her up heavily, confirming that she was a living person, and they naturally did not know how she could hide in a box and how she could be so aggressive? She did not harm herself, she should not be a marauder, unless she was a fleet leader, but as far as they knew, it was impossible for the legendary marauder leader to wear a dress, and Kelly, who had not gone to school on the ship but was the most knowledgeable, said that "if you want to wear it black", it is even more impossible for her to wake up and quietly say nothing.
After some arguing discussions, Marl decided to tie it up first, and the Serenity sailed to the delivery city of "Bartow".
Some people have guessed the meaning of the screenwriter here, especially the fans and critics in Florida, why is it called Barto? Bartow is a city in Florida, which also coincides with the range of Tranquility's activities on the edge of a barren galaxy. For those who know the allusion, this small city east of the Tampa Bay Area in central Florida is named after Francis S. Bartow, the first American League official to die during the Civil War.
This makes things even more complicated, if the political insinuation of the story is that the Star Alliance is the United States of America, and the independents are the Confederate States of America, there is absolutely no room for negotiation, and the independents who lost the war must not be on the right side of justice, unless Miraculous Yang is crazy, what does he want to say? Film critics have a headache.
"Hehe! haha!" No matter what the American audience in the North and South does, the humorous lines amused the chuckles in the screening room, and the story background and world setting became fuller and clearer with a little bit of reveal, and a new sci-fi world was accumulating.
The prairie is already at sunset, and the Tranquility flies to the distant sky full of red glow, faintly visible the people who are rising straight up over there, this lonely and beautiful picture makes the audience's eyes shine, Natalie "Wow" without blinking, that guy has been mysterious Western cowboy + Oriental poetry + science fiction? Beautiful!
Unfortunately, in less than ten seconds, the big screen screen screen switched to a small town square, where there were tall stone statues of heroes, wooden pillars with red lanterns, and the ground was full of large ripe pumpkins, and local residents were celebrating the harvest, and a female reporter held a microphone and smiled at the camera: "This is the scene of the harvest festival in Baishan City!" We can see a lot of pumpkins ......" The picture was gradually drawn into a virtual display screen, far enough to see the surrounding mirrors, and then switched to a bright bathroom.
Heath Ledger's blue gloves are seen wearing a sweatshirt vest and shorts, and he is brushing his teeth in the mirror, and the virtual display screen is reflected by the glasses he is wearing. Frontal close-up, looking at the harvest festival news blue gloves show a bright smile, quick editing between he brushed his teeth and changed clothes, made a delicious looking sandwich, at this time the virtual screen reported another news of the damage caused by the marauders, the blue gloves looked very sad, he put on gloves, put his glasses in his pocket, opened the hotel suite and walked out, and said to himself lightly: "The day has begun." ”
One-Day-Begins。 In just a short shot and a line, the blue gloves give people a very kind and "beautiful" feeling, and the audience feels a little different, Heath Ledger's posture and tone all exude an aura, an aura that steals the attention of the entire camera, and the words that are not A-Ne-Day-Begin also deepen the weirdness. This young man calmly appeared on the stage, calmly made people's hearts flutter, and his acting skills were so good, George Lucas couldn't help but wonder what would have happened if he had chosen Heath Ledger to play the adult Anakin?
At the beginning, for Anakin, casting director Robin Grande received more than 700 audition tapes, and more than 1,500 candidates were carefully examined, and Heath Ledger was on one of the long lists, but Robin Grande strongly recommended Hayden Christensen, who had a better temperament, George Lucas also felt that Heath Ledger was not handsome enough, and he and Natalie Portman lacked connection with the lines, and finally eliminated Paul Walker, including his own favorite, and Colin Hanks, Eric Orson and these people, taking the advice to choose Hayden Christensen, did not expect that Star Wars fans were actually very dissatisfied, and now Heath Ledger ...... Can Heath Ledger form a threat enough? Nancy Reno, a new graduate of USC, pondered that Blue Glove is a villain, but not everyone can play the villain, he has to make people fearful, creepy, hateful, and even hateful and love, provided that he is a credible threat. Heath Ledger is a "school bully" who is not easy to mess with in "The Wicked Girl Looks Across the Side", and the fierce appearance in "The Kelly Party" can also reach the level of scary, what will he shape the blue gloves into?
"Ding Ding Ding-" With the soundtrack accompanied by wind chimes, the Tranquility came to the edge of the important town of Bato, when Mar and his party docked the spaceship and walked on the streets of Bato with Reva, the unique style of the connected city belonging to the world of "Firefly" was suddenly revealed, charming!
This is the West + East + Science Fiction! Stone-paved road, pedestrians in cowboy costumes, pedestrians in Asian costumes, neon signs, red lanterns, Chinese characters with "tea", "wine", and "Wang Ji Hotel", as well as shops with English signs, bird cages on the trees next to the shops, vehicles hovering and speeding with the dragon eagle star flag logo on the road, and cowboys driving backward motorcycles with smoke spraying...... Kelly was holding an oil-paper umbrella with an ink painting of peonies, she was picking fruit from a roadside stall, and being urged to complain by Captain Marl, Riva's expression changed for the first time, and she looked curiously at the wind chimes swaying in front of the store.
A large part of the movie fans and the audience have already lit up their eyes, OOOO ——! everything on the big screen is too flavorful and novel, the world of "Firefly"! They are destined to become the most die-hard fans, because it is really too charming! Another part of the movie fans and audiences are interested, at least very rare and fresh, this atmosphere makes people feel good; some of the audience have no special reaction, a very beautifully designed and made future city; and some of the audience do not think so, this style is not very good.
Fanatical, like, don't care and dislike, but among the audience who have worked hard to get tickets, the number of dislikes and dislikes is really very small, and the 3,845 theaters have many, many groups from all over North America, different ages, different occupations, and different ethnicities.
Now the art direction, art design, set, props, costume design, and visual effects of "Firefly" are all Oscar-level, and under the command and explanation of the director, they have anatomy, shaping, and production of every detail of the scene, and the whole process from the original painting to the movie has an amazing outbreak and amazing effect.
It also makes the current film critics, fans and audiences sigh again: "It's really a big production with a cost of 200 million!" Counting the soundtrack, sound effects, photography and action direction, this is really a top-notch and first-class behind-the-scenes team! It can be said that as long as it is not affected by the director and the script and becomes a bad movie, they all have enough chips to participate in the competition for the Oscars. It's just that if the magic Yang's side collapses violently, they will also draw water from the bamboo basket.
"COOL-" Whether it's Evelyn, a die-hard fan of Magic Young, Rist, who usually likes Magic Young, and many boys and girls all secretly shouted: "Cool!" Love House and Wu, more serious taste, the intimacy brought by "Kung Fu Panda", many times whether a person likes a thing or a new thing, it is often just a thought, and there are many elements that affect these thoughts, and it will even be a sentence from a TV soap opera actor who hated when he was a child who was forgotten in the sea of memory.
Now it's Wonder Jan! Evelyn's eyes lit up, Claire's eyes lit up, and Rist, Tom, Sam ...... I have to say that "Firefly" enjoys an aura of "doubling the effect", he is a magical character who leads the trend and influences the world, and they are young people who are eager for the emergence of a new interstellar science fiction culture, there are already "Star Wars" and "Star Trek", there is no need for a similar style, and now it is finally here!
"It's a new culture. Looking at the charming Barto, George Lucas's eyes narrowed slightly, maybe it would be a new trend, maybe it wouldn't, but it must be a new culture, firefly culture.
However, the movie is not a science fiction style painting, the five-star set alone is naturally far from enough to make it a classic, the movie has its own narrative rhythm, after a short shopping trip by Mal and his party, the story becomes tense again, Mal with the goods came to the delivery warehouse, Kelly and Walsh did not follow, did not expect that the former independence soldier who had known each other for many years, today's Shark gang boss refused to pay the money on the grounds of "this is not the goods I want", but he wanted to leave the goods in the dark;
"Marl, do you still think that this is the time of war, and you still think that you are a captain? I respect you for three points, but you are shameless, bastard! Without me, you would have been finished a long time ago, kill them all for me!"
The bald tattooed shark gang boss's fierce and vicious words did not fall, and the nervous audience was introduced into a boiling atmosphere by the hot soundtrack, on the big screen, Mal, Jani, and Zoe had reacted quickly to draw their guns and dodge, and Ruiva, who was still tied with a rope in her hands, also broke out, and in her "ho, ah" shouts and "ah" gangster minions, I saw that Ruiva directly beat a group of gang members with her legs and tied hands.
"Wow!" Marl, Janie, and Zoe were all stunned, and the audience in front of the screen was also stunned, and action fans were almost trembling with excitement...... Sure enough, just like the visual effects introduced in the magazine, simple and gorgeous, smooth and thrilling, full of power, speed, and heavy explosion!
Chicago Sun-Times' Roger Albert couldn't help but give two thumbs up, what a perfect sweeping minion action scene! Here it is! Beautiful action sequences, beautiful sturdy girls! He previously described Kung Fu as "like a party with Jackie Chan and Buster Keaton (the famous smiling man) with Quentin Tarantino and Binny Bunny", and now it's all magical...... At this time, Reva finally stretched the rope out in a frenzy again, and the thick rope was instantly freed from the circle with both hands, and Roger Albert and the surrounding audience exclaimed: "Oh ho!"
"Ahh
The skirt of the dress fluttered up, Ruiva's left foot rotated on the axis and her right foot was raised, her slender calves fell with force and speed, and her feet in short boots smashed heavily on the half-human-high box and pressed down, with a muffled sound!
She kicked heavily in the chest and abdomen of the minions, forming a "ten" gesture with the ground, almost picking the minions up! The big minions screamed and flew down, and Ruiva's eyes moved slowly, and there was no more gangster enemies standing in the entire warehouse.
"Whew......" Marr blew the muzzle of the pistol that had not been fired at all, and just as they were speechless, Reva lowered her head as if she was nervous, and said softly, "They want to kill us." ”
"Wow!" The audience in 3845 theaters exclaimed and praised one by one in a bass, just this fierce and domineering Ruiva is worth watching "Firefly", the most beautiful scenery this summer!
