Chapter 365: This Is Shock! (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
In the vast expanse of the universe, a fleet of marauders floats quietly in the darkness, there are large warships and small ships, countless and densely spread, the patrol team blows up a spaceship that has no marauder characteristics and breaks in by mistake, a group of plundering ships that seem to have just finished wandering or returning with victory or alone, the Tranquility slowly passes through the ship, the people in the cockpit are silent, and under the weird and mysterious soundtrack, most of the audience hold their breath: "......"
The special effects are still so real and gorgeous, and the picture composition is still so open and clear! In fact, it is difficult for global audiences to be able to see this kind of interstellar sci-fi scene, "Star Wars Prequel 3" has a production cost of 113 million, "Star Wars Prequel 2" 115 million, "Star Wars Prequel 1" 115 million, and then what? Only the 2001 version of "Planet of the Apes" of the sci-fi adventure is 100 million, the 1998 "Star Trek 9: Uprising" is 58 million, and this summer's "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" is 50 million...... In this era, there is no other way to make background props, special effects, etc., it is burned out with money, technology and painstaking efforts, and the production cost of science fiction films is as high as 200 million, and the "Firefly" created by the full Oscar-level team is naturally not an idle generation, and the most important thing about the excellent large-scale production is the balance of literary drama and martial arts, even the literary and artistic part is also a large number of movements, not only character dialogue. For example, in the previous Bato spacecraft repair shop, if the small and medium-sized cost was likely to delete the scene, some were also simple interior scenes, and the shooting range of the lens was secretly reduced; tonight, the entire lively and noisy repair shop, the loading and landing of the entire Tranquility, etc., are clear, and even panoramic lenses and long lenses are often used to let the viewer have a clear view of the scene.
A large number of martial arts, a large number of outdoor scenes, a large number of scenery shots, the scope of photography will not be timidly narrowed even a little, on the contrary, there is a huge format of IMAX film!
It is very different from the perception of small and medium-sized costs, and the texture and film sense of "Star Wars Prequel 3" are also inferior, which is destined to be an increasingly amazing visual feast! The flavor of the planet and the cityscape are once again confidently and fearlessly displayed, when the camera cuts through the blue gloves to Condham Town Square, watching the residents carving and erecting the hero stone sculpture in full swing, and the statue of Mar is pulled up high, and the Tranquility over there also makes the audience breathe a sigh of relief as they smoothly pass through the Marauder ship group and fly towards Miranda Star.
"The readings I got were all normal, and there was no crustal vibration and radiation ...... the ocean and land" On the big screen, the Tranquility was speeding in the sky of Miranda Star, and the beautiful scenery from a bird's-eye view was eye-catching, but Zoe and Walsh said that the instrument could not feel anything electricity, but it detected a very faint signal, so the spacecraft flew towards the position of the signal, and there was a beautiful scenery that amazed the audience.
Watching the Tranquility flying low on the IMAX giant screen flying over the sea of clouds, Joss Wheddon's lips trembled with silent excitement, and he suddenly remembered clearly the words of the young man when he first met with Wang Yang: "Or if you think about it again, it is a mountain range with no end in sight, those green peaks are towering one after another, and there is fog everywhere, and then the Tranquility flies through the fog, which is called the mountains of the sea of fog." I'm just thinking about how to combine the two, and it doesn't take much, even if it's just one or two shots that are naturally and perfectly combined. ”
This beautiful picture full of oriental artistic conception made the eyes of film critics shine: "OO!HOLY-CO!" When the "Star Wars" series was still stuck in the medieval court style, "Star Trek" stayed in the bright and clean traditional science fiction, and "Firefly" wanted to integrate the western cowboy and the oriental artistic conception! The director and his artists and special effects teams were really crazy! Even those who looked at Wang Yang couldn't help but mutter: "What a joke!"
George Lucas sat up straight in surprise, Cassico in "Star Wars Episode 3" used the landform of Guilin, China, he thought about how to integrate Chinese landscape painting into science fiction, how to interpret this ethereal style, and now he sees it!
This scene also made Miranda Star impressive, and the mystery broke out all at once!
"It's shocking!" Her Majesty Queen Padme Amidala Natalie Portman also opened her mouth wide, and suddenly flashed a trace of memory from two years ago in Beijing, China: "I'm doing this too, 100 percent! I want to bring Chinese landscape painting into the world of science fiction! Good luck to me!" The guy clenched his right fist and raised his smile and shouted: "Beautiful——!" Natalie only felt her heart beat faster, and sighed convincingly: "Beautiful——!" Another screening room, Rachel McAdams, also muttered, "Beautiful——!"
"Beautiful——!" fans and audiences across North America have praised it, if it is a small and medium-budget film, it may be a white cloud to fool the past, and now just to see these beautiful scenery is almost worth the ticket price, will there be any surprises?
No matter how beautiful the scenery is, the Tranquility landed in a beautiful city on the big screen, and Marr and Janeny, who got off the spaceship, wore vacuum spacesuits and checked the data of the Miranda star, Zoe said: "The gravitational field is the same as that of the Earth, the oxygen concentration is normal, the air pressure is normal...... There's no problem!" Jenny looked around in confusion, "This is not a small settlement. Zoe agrees: "I've flown over dozens of cities of this size along the way. ”
Miranda's urban style is different from the previous Bartow and Condon, if Bartow is a representative galaxy edge city, the future sci-fi West & East, Condon is a typical western township & not many oriental elements, then Miranda is a galaxy-centered high-tech & oriental color city, on the one hand, neat and clean futuristic sci-fi, on the other hand, green trees, small bridges and flowing water, weird no weeds and waste, and the color of the photographic picture is particularly soft and the light is particularly bright.
Walking through the streets of the city, Marr and the others found a lot of creepy anomalies, as if the residents of this place died suddenly for no reason a long time ago, witnessing these tragic situations, Reva became even more painful, crying: "God, please turn me into a stone without heart, eyes and ears!" Chu Chu's pitiful appearance is heart-wrenching, and the audience is almost fascinated by that beautiful face, how can they pay attention to the acting skills? The film critic can only sigh that it is worthy of the most beautiful Barbie doll.
However, there are not many scenes where Reva has changed so much, and then everyone found the signal source in an institution, and also knew the cause and effect, the virtual stereo female scientist of the signal machine first made a record report with a happy face: "Today we put G23 Parkers hydroxide into the air handler for the first time, it will eliminate the evil side in human neurons, and all bad things will no longer exist! Thirty million people have accepted this 'Brave New World' program to purify their minds, and they are all good! Parkers has worked!"
The big screen scene suddenly cuts to the city of Miranda, the streets that have just been dead and silent are restored to laughter, the people who have no evil but good walk around and talk, and the audience suddenly sees Ruiva, who is wearing a Star Alliance uniform, standing at the head of the bridge and reaching out to pick willows, and the smiling face shown for the first time tonight amazes the audience.
However, the female scientist's narration voice became sad and depressed: "It's been the third day of the change, the situation is getting worse, the whole social structure has changed, most people have become low IQ, they no longer work, they no longer speak, they ...... G23 Pikes did the opposite, these people became more aggressive and could not be described as crazy, and a small number of people became their leaders, who maintained their IQ but considered it a 'brave new world' and considered themselves to be Over-Man. ”
The city streets on the screen replay the tragic scene of mutation, the mutated people chase the Covenant personnel, panic and flee, shocking, Reva is also pulled onto the spaceship, the female scientist's voice cries: "It's the top of human biological evolution, it's the best part of the human species, they think they're God......! Killed most of us and forced some to undergo Pikes' purification...... That's not all, they did some other things, I can't live to report them, but you have to know...... Our intentions are good, to make people's lives better. The camera returned to the agency, only to see her being pulled down by the predators who pounced on her, and screamed: "Ahhhh
"The Marauders are their creation...... Walsh said dumbfounded, and everyone was either expressionless or stunned, and Kelly couldn't bear to look at it anymore, turning off the signal, and Jani said bitterly, "What are these people thinking! What a 'brave new world', it's enough to have fun!"
"Oh!" The mystery was revealed, and the audience suddenly realized, so it turned out that this is the case! The Marauder is the failed product of the Star Alliance's "Brave New World" plan to purify the soul and eliminate the evil side of mankind? The Miranda Star, which had been successful in the original progress, suddenly exploded, and the audience also thought that the Marauder was like a shrimp worm people's social structure, and the leader and the soldier without IQ would also purify other humans and make them "transform", so they became a third party force with a galaxy out of control.
Over-Man, Nietzsche, Nazism! Movie fans and critics also suddenly realized that this can explain the habits and positioning of the predators, and "Firefly" is getting more and more interesting!
The story of the whole film tonight is not difficult to understand, it can be said that the plot is not new, but the director tells it fascinatingly. From a commercial point of view, the audience must have enjoyed the unparalleled visual effects, as well as the ups and downs of following the film all the way, nervous, exciting, mysterious, and sad...... From an artistic point of view, it is much more complicated, there are so many things behind the camera that some critics have figured it out, and some are still thinking about it.
Just like the role of the prop setting of the paper flower has just been revealed, the flower represents beauty and beauty, and the paper flower just looks beautiful, but it is fake, and Miranda Star is a paper flower.
"Amazing Yang's ambition is really big......" The movie came to this moment, senior film critics vaguely saw Wang Yang's thoughts, and the theme of "Firefly" also vaguely surfaced, about the world, human nature, government, Star Alliance and Blue Glove, independents, and predators are different, this is a debate of political concepts, and it is also a confession of looking at the world. They are all very big, big themes, which have been discussed thousands of times, and maybe they can't say anything new.
If you use character dialogue to tell it directly and didacticly, it is undoubtedly the worst way to be impressed, not impactful, and no room for thinking;
"This report was made about 2 years ago, the time the Marauders appeared, the Covenant took control of Reva, and they were afraid that she would expose it, and they really should be afraid, because the people of the whole universe will know about it! Someone has to stand up and tell the people, everyone should know the truth. ”
The Captain Marr is back! In the Tranquility Lounge on the big screen, Mar has a serious face but mobilizes everyone, under the sad and turbulent soundtrack, the audience gradually feels enthusiastic, from the beginning they can see that this unruly captain has a hard mouth and a soft heart, from the moment he stepped on the Miranda Star, Mal put away his hippie smile, and his speech exuded a kind of coolness: "You set foot on the Tranquility for different reasons, but we finally came together!" So now I ask you to contribute more than you have before, and maybe give everything you have. I'm sure they'll try again, maybe in another world, maybe in this land, after being cleansed, and again, maybe a year, maybe ten years, and they'll regain their faith and believe that they can make people's lives better. ”
"I don't have this faith!" Marl tilted his chin and looked at the silent crew members, with a proud expression: "So don't run away anymore, I'm just going against them!"
Many film critics suddenly found another political metaphor: that young man actually linked the two wars together! "I believe they can make the people's lives better" refers to the United States of America in the US-Iraq War and the Civil War, and the Middle East and the Confederate States of America at the edge of the galaxy.
However, it is worth noting that the Star Alliance is a combination of the United States and China, and it also reveals that the blue gloves that pursue a better world and utopia are more inclined to represent Soviet Russia and China.
The Blue Glove is obviously an extreme idealist who is detached from reality, the Nazis and the terrorists (predators) are the extreme dictators, they are also the extreme idealists, they think that this is the brave new world, they believe that they are right, and they believe that when they die, the Blue Glove is probably the same, even if his intentions are good, once things go to the extreme, idealism is terrorism, and even more terrible. And the Star Alliance also shows that when there is only one government in the whole world, things will be chaotic, they can do something hidden from the people, and the power will be controlled by some careerists, so as to control and use some idealists, such as the FBI like the Blue Glove, to help them hide the truth of history and create the so-called beautiful new world, which will lead to chaos in the world.
“YOU-KNO-TOO-MUCH。 "The Star Alliance is a double irony, the moral of the whole story can be seen this way and that way, and at the same time it is intricately intertwined, what is he trying to say in the end? More and more film critics are breaking out in a cold sweat and simply enjoying the film without thinking about anything, and those will not go away.
Sometimes audiences who have never wanted to enjoy a movie will wonder if the critics are full of food? Now the most nervous thing is to send the signal out! On the big screen, Janeny took a sip of wine and made up her mind, "My mother told me that if you can't do something smart, do the right thing." Simon asked, "Do we have any plans?" and Marl said confidently, "New Shanxi." This signal is in a special format made by the Star Alliance military, and we don't have the equipment to broadcast this footage, but New Shanxi can transmit the signal to every screen in the thirty worlds. ”
"Xinshanxi? We used to die there. Walsh looked puzzled and surprised, seeing that Simon was another kind of puzzle who didn't know about New Shanxi, Zoe explained: "It is a military garrison of the Star Covenant in the galaxy connection, and the garrison is no less than the Marauders, and it is impossible for us to capture and infiltrate New Shanxi with our strength." ”
"We have predators. The corners of Mal's mouth moved, as if remembering the leader of the Shark Gang who was killed by Riva, and added, "We still have some old friends. ”
The camera suddenly switched, it was the fierce face and shout of the marauder: "Ahhhhh
"Oh ho!" There was an exclamation in the screening room, and many movie fans, especially girls, all screamed, Captain Whirlwind appeared! He captured alive a feared predator and beat him every day! What a domineering way of appearing! Nancy Lino wow, I didn't expect this magical muscular man to buffer the rhythm of the drama like this!
"Ahhh Under the long shot of sports, the hot beauty handed him the clothes and got the cage locked, "Marl looking for me?" Whirlwind put on a sweatsuit, the muscles of his upper body were still exposed, walked to the communication cockpit, took out a large cigar from his pocket and put it in his mouth, and when he walked in the aisle, another hot beauty played by Evangeline Lily handed it over to the lighter, Whirlwind took the lit cigar, the middle leisure cabin, Michelle Rodriguez's cameo crew was coldly assembled with a machine, Jenson Akers sat with his eyes closed, and the two saw that the captain also got up and followed, in the cockpit with sandbags hanging, Channing Tatum was manipulating the spaceship.
It's the same firefly ship, but compared to the hilarious Tranquility, this ship is so fierce!
It's too arrogant and handsome! The male audience is a little jealous, how can this be like this, does this guy keep the good shots for himself! But who is that Latin beauty playing? It's really eye-catching and amazing! They paid attention, and the fans of Wonder Young were so excited that Evelyn screamed: "Cool!!" Natalie Portman smiled with bright eyes, and finally appeared after a night! This director is so handsome! Rachel McAdams also wow, cool! Annie Darren, Scarlett Johansson, these people also laugh for some reason.
"Unbelievable ......" AMC-Cityalk Cinema, Megan Fox pursed her lips excitedly, and actually joined a big movie on the big screen like this, with few scenes but so eye-catching! She loves Magic Young! In the front row of the audience, Jessica muttered: "I really want to play that role, the whirlwind is my ......"
The critics were also very surprised, Claire clenched her fist and waved, and her aura was super strong! On the big screen, the screens in the cockpit were covered with different captains, and the whirlwind looked at Mal in the middle, and said with a smile: "Mal, my old friend! What's wrong with calling so many people?" The camera cuts to the wheelhouse of the Tranquility, and the whirlwind suddenly becomes a screen, and all the communication screens are the same with different captains' faces, and Marr shows a particularly bright smile: "TOP, long time no see! ”
The camera cuts to the Whirlwind, and Megan walks into the cab, "So we're going to attack New Shanxi! As soon as Marl's voice fell, he heard Captain Whirlwind's heroic and excited laughter: "New Shanxi!, I'm in the gang, Megan, go kill that marauder." Megan turned around and walked out without any doubts, but the captain hesitated: "It's too dangerous!", "Anyway, if you don't tell me the complete attack plan, I won't agree." Mal of the middle screen said, "I don't know who can be trusted. Another captain asked, "Why should we trust you?"
"I believe it!" the whirlwind said coldly, immediately quieting everyone down, the camera entered the wheelhouse of different spaceships, swept over the hesitant captains and crews, and attacked Xinshanxi, which was equivalent to taking out a life and pressing it on the table!
The audience gradually felt their blood burning, and the whirlwind on the big screen looked at the whole screen and gritted their teeth: "Today, I'm alive again! Marl, if this time, I'm fucking dead again! If I die, please take me back to the Valley of Tranquility! That's enough." With a resolute expression, Marr nodded and said, "Me too." THE WHIRLWIND LAUGH MADE THE SCALP TINGLE OF AWAKENING: "BUT YOU FUCKING BASTARDS, KEEP BEING LOSERS! CONTINUE TO HIDE AMONG YOUR FIREFLIES AND CURSE THE WORLD! NO!!!THIS TIME, I'M FIGHTING FOR MYSELF." But I'm going to kill you all, and if I promise I survive, I'll kill you cowards one by one!!!
"Since that's the case...... I'll go too. Suddenly another white captain laughed and agreed, followed by the next: "Marl, I believe in you." There is another one: "Then I would rather die in New Shanxi." Marr laughed, Whirlwind laughed, everyone mustered up the courage and regained the will not to surrender back then, and they all came back to life!" I joined the gang and attacked New Shanxi!!" "New Shanxi." "New Shanxi!", "New Shanxi!", ...... "NE-SHANXI!" The temperature in the screening hall is rising, and many audience members are also excitedly silently shouting, accompanied by a sense of nervousness, excitement mixed with excitement!
The camera cut to the desert-like Loess Plateau in Xinshanxi, only to see a group of Star Alliance fleet spaceships gathering to take off and land, this is a military base! Under a heavier sense of oppression, the Tranquility flew out of the Marauder Zone, and the blue gloves that lingered on the cockpit communication screen appeared, and he said calmly: "Condon's hero, either hand over Reva to me, or Condon, die." The reason why he made a threat, of course, already knew that Marr was a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person.
The audience was holding their breath and thinking of the enthusiasm of the residents of Condontown, and this scene made countless people want to smash the screen with a punch! Nancy Reno could only admire and admire, this villain is really bad to an incredible degree! Heath Ledger is not only a threat, he is the kind of villain who can provoke others to anger with just a few words and a few facial expressions, and wants to smash him until he dies, this is a very inadequate and very angry ability, and at the same time very charming.
"Alright!" Without the slightest wordiness, in fact the tempo of the soundtrack did not slow down, Marr said, "I will go to Xinshanxi and hand over Ruiva to you." ”
As soon as the communication screen went black, Marr nodded to Walsh, and Kelly had mentioned that the communication system modified by the Marauder spacecraft worked, and the screen was immediately connected to the main ship of the Marauder fleet, and the Marauder boss played by Christopher Waltz exuded a cold arrogance: "Who are you?" Mal smiled and said, "Hello, I think you would be very interested in someone." Later, Reva walked out of the hatch, and the big boss was stunned: "This girl ......" Marr shouted: "Fire!"
In the vast universe, a fleet of Marauders floated silently in the darkness, while the Tranquility in the distance sent out a firefly-class missile, which singlely exploded a Marauder spaceship! For a moment, all the dense large warships and small spaceships rushed out!
Let's go to Xinshanxi to fight to the death! The hearts of both fans, audiences, and film critics can't help but beat faster, and after a long and powerful foreshadowing, the next is a nearly 40-minute showdown, of which more than 30 minutes are shot with IMAX cameras!
Everyone knows that the best scene of the night is coming!
(To be continued)
