In the monitor screen, Robert De Niro took out the cigarette box, looked at it, and said, "You can't use nuclear weapons, that's the bottom line." Otherwise, there will be no place to grow tobacco by then. ”

Matt Damon said, "I don't understand. ”

Robert De Niro skillfully poured out the tobacco, and while casually rolling cigarettes with the cut newspaper, he said slowly: "I don't understand, I don't understand, I don't understand that so many of you are willing to die for the sake of a flag, and I don't understand that your wife, who hates us AI so much, saved me at a critical moment." ”

Speaking of this, a trace of confusion flashed in Robert De Niro's eyes, as a robot, even if he passed the Turing test, he still couldn't fully understand human behavior. He sighed softly and said, "I have a lot of things I don't understand, but I know I can't do that." I really don't understand, why are we fighting each other, why can't we live together?"

Although Adams was a soldier, he did not like war. In this war, which lasted three years, he saw too many deaths, the deaths of friends, the deaths of loved ones. If possible, he also hopes that this war will end. Matt Damon looked at Robert De Niro in front of him and said helplessly: "Yes, why do you have to fight each other? ”

The cigarette was rolled, and Robert De Niro lit it, took two puffs, and said, "No matter what, the nuclear war must stop." ”

Matt Damon heard him say so sure, and couldn't help but ask, "What the hell are you going to do?"

Colonel Gu raised his head and glanced at the sky that did not exist overhead, then looked at Matt Damon and said slowly: "The afternoon after tomorrow, the AI high-level will hold an important meeting in the underground bunker, and the main body of our Supreme Leader Norton XIII is hidden in the conference room. ”

Matt Damon taken aback: "You won't be ......"

"Members present at the meeting are not allowed to bear arms. Robert De Niro took a deep puff of his cigarette, patted the Chasik saber at his waist, and smiled, "This Chasik won't be considered a weapon, it's a work of art!"

Zhang Ran looked at Robert De Niro, who was smiling brightly in the camera, and exhaled softly, and all the shots were finished. He picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted with a smile, "Stop! ”

After shouting to stop, Zhang Ran turned up the shots of several cameras, and after confirming that the performance and picture were flawless, he communicated with the director of recording, photography, and special effects. After confirming that all the links were fine, Zhang Ran picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Each group prepares! Let's do one more!" Seeing that everyone was moving and ready to continue filming, Zhang Ran laughed and said: "I'm joking! This shot has passed! "Future Apocalypse" is finished!"

Hearing Zhang Ran's announcement, the leading actors of the movie and the crew immediately cheered and applauded and hugged each other warmly. The film officially started filming on April 15 and lasted until November 22, and everyone lived and worked together for more than 7 months, and they were very reluctant to give up each other.

After Zhang Ran hugged the staff of the command center, he came to the set and hugged Robert De Niro, Matt Damon, and other staff members, and then he picked up the speaker, looked around at the crowd, and said loudly: "Girls, gentlemen, after more than seven months of hard work, "Future Apocalypse" is finally finished. It's an honor to work with all of you, because you're the best! You've worked so hard for the past seven months! Thank you!"

When everyone's cheers stopped, Zhang Ran glanced at the familiar faces and said with a smile: "We have arranged a finale party tonight, everyone should have a good time!"

Amid applause and laughter, the crew packed up their camera equipment and other things, and then returned to the station for the evening party.

Since they have been working together for more than half a year, the crew and staff are very familiar with each other, and the atmosphere of the whole party is extremely relaxed, and everyone has a very high time. Zhang Ran sprayed people everywhere with champagne and champagne, but was chased and killed by everyone with champagne and sprayed all over his body. Scarlett Johansson even took the initiative to take the stage and sang two songs for everyone, which caused the men at the scene to scream.

After the party, Matt Damon, Robert De Niro, and Scarlett Johansson all posted photos on Fly and Facebook to celebrate. A photo posted by Robert De Niro, who is standing on the set with a clapperboard in his hand, indicates that the film has been filmed. And Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson posted a photo of the finale party, each with a bottle of champagne in their hands, smiling at the camera, it can be seen that they enjoyed the filming of the movie and the carnival after the finale.

Zhang Ran did not post photos, but he released the finale special of "Future Apocalypse" on Fly, and announced that the first trailer of the movie will be released in five days.

In the finale special, Zhang Ran showed the shooting footage spanning 7 months, all the main creators of the movie appeared, and various explosion scenes appeared one after another. In addition, there are some particularly interesting scenes, such as Scarlett Johansson just arrived at the crew and met with the Irish soldiers, a group of five big and three thick soldiers saw their dream lover as shy as little girls;

Summit Entertainment has prepared 250 million publicity funds for "Future Apocalypse". Among them, the film promotion fee is 150 million, 80 million in North America, 70 million overseas, and the remaining 100 million is the publicity fee for the release of the disc. The promotion fee for Hollywood's top blockbusters is almost the same amount.

With the support of a huge publicity budget, the publicity work of "Future Apocalypse" has long been in full swing.

Shortly after the movie started, Summit Entertainment released an advertisement-style viral video about the recruitment of the First Cavalry Division, in which the soldiers wore exoskeletons and carried two robot soldiers, which looked extremely cool. At the end of the video, there is a hotline and voicemail. This is a hotline that can be contacted and consulted, and fans who get through the movie can receive movie postcards sent by the filmmaker.

Next, Summit Entertainment gradually released the relevant background of the movie on the official website of "Future Apocalypse", first announcing the brief history of artificial intelligence and the development of military applications, and then also announcing the outbreak time of the war between humans and robots, as well as the battle situation in various theaters, and in October, it announced how human soldiers and robot soldiers are matched and how to fight.

As the publicity progressed wave after wave, the appetite of countless audiences was hung, and for science fiction fans and military fans, it was simply eagerly awaited, and "Future Apocalypse" received no worse audience than any Hollywood blockbuster.

Now hearing that "Future Apocalypse" is finished, fans who are waiting for it flock to Zhang Ran's Fly account, leaving crazy messages on Zhang Ran's Fly account and forwarding them everywhere.

This is a real military hard science fiction movie, I will definitely go to the cinema to support it!"

"Wow, I'm excited just to watch this special, and I don't know how exciting it will be when the movie is released!"

"This explosion scene is so powerful, much more powerful than Michael Bay's, I really want to see it right away!"

The next morning, Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu left for Los Angeles, the film was finished, and the next most important work was special effects. "Apocalypse of the Future" has 2,137 special effects shots and is expected to take a year and a half to complete.

Zhang Ran said that Los Angeles is mainly Industrial Light & Magic to discuss the issue of special effects, and put forward suggestions for rectification of some unsatisfactory points, in addition, Fly will be listed in early December, and he will definitely have to attend the listing ceremony.

Five days later, at noon, Summit Entertainment released the first trailer of "Future Apocalypse" on the official website of "Future Apocalypse", YouTube, and Fly's official account.

Accompanied by a burst of sad and ethereal music, the audience appeared in front of a slanted cross, slowly bleeding down. Then the picture switches, an aerial overhead shot, thousands of troops on the ground fighting together, explosions, fire, dust, and smoke columns are intertwined, as if they are in hell.

An old man's voice rang out: "Throughout the ages, wars have never stopped, and this time it is a war between two races. ”

In the picture, the armies of humans and robots launched fierce attacks under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles, and tanks and armored vehicles were constantly blown up, and people were constantly torn to pieces by bombs. At the same time, drones in the air dropped rockets like flocks of birds, and huge plumes of smoke rose from the battlefield.

In the picture, a soldier wearing exoskeleton armor falls to the ground, his body convulsed, and blood spurting from his mouth. The voiceover sounds: "One is flesh and blood." ”

The screen switches, and a bunch of robot soldiers line up in an offensive formation, and the light and heavy weapons in their hands suddenly erupt into flames. The voiceover added, "One is a man of steel." ”

The frame switches again, an ultra-low-altitude cruising shot, and the camera slowly moves forward at an altitude of five meters above the ground. As the camera progresses, the dust from the bomb explosion rises into the sky and rains down in front of the camera, and the black smoke from the explosion blows in the face, as if you are really on the battlefield. The voiceover sounded again: "What is justice, what is survival?"

Standing in a corner of the battlefield, Robert De Niro shouted at Matt Damon: "War requires soldiers to fight for their own justice, and those who hide behind and let others charge forward are not worthy of being called soldiers." ”

Matt Damon stood in the robot prison, with red eyes, and said: "Your electronic brain will not understand, this is a human being, if we don't save ourselves when we see death, then we are not worthy of being human!"

What follows is a short conversation. Standing in a patch of snow and ice, Robert De Niro said slowly, "I'm not a life yet. Life can leave some fragments of itself through a gene-like medium, but I can't leave anything. ”

Matt Damon exclaimed, "Colonel, I have a fragment of you in my head, and maybe I'll pass it on to my son." The genes that parents give to their offspring are inherited, and the ideas they teach are also inherited. ”

Robert De Niro suddenly laughed: "Thank you, boy, it seems that I really have no regrets!"

In the huge conference room, Robert De Niro suddenly pulled out the Chasik saber at his waist and stabbed one of the roboguards into the body, and then kicked them into the air. Robert De Niro moved quickly, and before the other roboguards could react, Chasik thrust another roboguard into the neck. Immediately, he jumped up, held the knife in both hands in the air, and slammed it into the camera.

As soon as the picture went black, the name of the movie "Future Apocalypse" appeared, and then the screen flashed, and another line of text appeared: "August 2012, fight for survival!"

The trailer for "Future Apocalypse" is only two minutes and ten seconds, and it does not introduce the characters or tell the specifics of the movie, but piles up a lot of war and action scenes. Zhang Ran's purpose is to attract the audience through big scenes and action scenes, and he really did it, after the release of this trailer, it immediately caused heated discussions on the Internet.
