Ridley Scott noticed that "Future Apocalypse" had been running for more than twenty minutes, and the soundtrack appeared several times, but it was all classical music, which was unprecedented in Zhang Ran's film.

Nowadays, most of the soundtracks of science fiction movies use electronic music, which will make the film more technological and futuristic. It is not uncommon for science fiction movies to use classical music on a large scale, such as "2001: A Space Odyssey", which uses a lot of classical music, most notably "Thus Said Zarathustra" and "The Blue Danube". Among them, the use of "Blue Danube" is similar to Zhang Ran's use of "Vltava River".

Ridley-Scott felt that Zhang Ran would have worked better if he had used "The Blue Danube". The blue earth against the backdrop of the blue Danube will look even more spectacular and desirable. But when he thought about it, he could think of using "Blue Danube", Zhang Ran couldn't have imagined that Zhang Ran insisted on using "Vltava River", there must be some reason.

Behind the cast and crew, the beautiful melody of "Vltava" fades away, and the camera slowly pushes towards the earth.

After passing through the clouds, the camera is seen as strangled drones and human and AI armies fighting wildly in the field, and the entire battlefield is shrouded in fire and fog by artillery fire and gunsmoke.

The camera stops in mid-air and becomes a positive overhead shot, which is also called the God lens, as if God is standing in the air and looking down on the world. War films often use God shots, and after the battle, many directors often use God shots to end up and shoot the tragic scenes of corpses all over the field, so as to reflect the cruelty of war.

Ridley Scott gently slapped his thigh after seeing this god shot of Zhang Ran. The God lens of "Future Apocalypse" is different from the God lens of ordinary movies, the position is relatively high, and the people, tanks, and various weapons in the picture look very small, looking like a swarm of ants fighting on the ground from a high altitude. The whole shot feels extremely shocking, but at the same time, it will make people feel a sense of compassion. For both humans and robots, they are struggling to survive and fighting for survival. But from God's point of view, it's like we usually watch ants fight, which seems humble and ridiculous!

The camera switched, the panoramic shot of the ground, the entire battlefield was filled with gunsmoke, and the sound of gunfire was overwhelming. The camera first focuses on the AI's position, and then moves sideways from right to left, showing the robot soldiers launching an orderly attack under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles. In the course of their attacks, tanks and armored vehicles were constantly blown up, black smoke billowed and flames rose to the sky, and soldiers were torn to pieces by bombs, and parts flew and fragments were scattered.

At the same time, the drones in the air dropped rockets like rain, spraying flames, smashing heavily into the crowd, smashing on tanks and armored vehicles, making earth-shattering explosions, and raising huge plumes of smoke on the battlefield, and the entire battlefield was like a giant meat grinder with a pungent smell of blood.

It is difficult to use a transverse lens for such a large scene, there are many actors, and the scheduling is complicated, but Zhang Ran's lens is handled extremely well, and the composition of the movie, the scheduling of the actors, the light and shadow colors, etc., are impeccable. Cameron admired this very much, "This lens is very beautiful, but unfortunately it doesn't use 3D, and the audio-visual effect will definitely be better if you use 3D!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cameron was stunned, and the camera slowly moved back to the right, and he suddenly let out an exclamation: "See-saw long shot!"

Many of the other directors present exclaimed: "Bondarchuk's tug-of-saw long shot!", "Wow, it's really a see-of-saw long shot!", "Awesome!

Ridley Scott's eyes also widened, he didn't expect Zhang Ran to use a see-saw to move the long shot, as a great director of epic films who has filmed "Gladiator" and "Heavenly Dynasty", he knows better than anyone the difficulty of this kind of shot. In this shot, Zhang Ran exposes the backlight of the over-piercing lens, presenting a crazy bloody battlefield, and what is even more powerful is Zhang Ran's scheduling of the camera, thousands of robots, tanks, and drones, twisted together in the sky and the ground, but the picture is not chaotic at all, where the soldiers fall and where the tanks are blown up, they are just right, and the integrity of the composition is always maintained.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Ridley Scott had to admit in his heart that in terms of scheduling, he was not as good as Zhang Ran!

In the corner of the screening room, Russian director Fedor Bondarchuk was stupid, staring at the big screen and speechless. His father was none other than Sergei Bondarchuk, the director of "War and Peace", who brought the film "Stalingrad" to the festival.

Little Bondarchuk didn't expect to see a long shot of see-sawing and sideways on the big screen, he felt like he was in a dream, and muttered: "I thought I would never see it on the screen again in my life, but I didn't expect to see it today!"

The audience didn't know what the see-saw long shot was, but many people remembered the scroll at the opening ceremony of the Beiping Olympic Games, and had the feeling of watching a Chinese painting like "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival". Many Chinese paintings, such as "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", are so long that it is impossible to read them at a glance, and you have to move left and right to see the whole picture, and this lens gives people this feeling.

Although the audience had different ideas, there was a feeling that was the same, that is, shocked, shocked by the magnificent scenes presented by the movie, and thought that it was worthy of a huge movie with an investment of 350 million, this scene was too spectacular!

The camera cuts to the AI position, and after the camera cuts several times in a row, the AI commander gives an order, and under the cover of the AI tank group, the machine soldiers attack the 1st Cavalry Division again.

While the robot soldiers attacked, the camera pulled to a height of four or five meters in the air and slowly pushed towards the position of the 1st Cavalry Division. As the camera pans forward, the battle becomes more and more intense, with bombs exploding, tanks being blown up, the ground shaking, and dust flying.

With a loud bang, a bomb exploded not far from the camera, and the gray-black dust rose into the sky and soared into the air.

The audience in front of the screen can clearly see the bombed earth falling from the camera like raindrops, the clods are very close to the camera lens, and even the shape of the clods can be clearly seen through the large IMAX screen. The explosion was so close that the hearts of many viewers hung in the air.

With a loud "boom", a tank was blown up, and black clouds rose into the air, mixed with scarlet flames, like an evil dragon leaping out of the water, swooping straight towards the camera.

The audience at the scene only felt the flames of the tank explosion rushing to their faces, and many people involuntarily leaned back, and at the same time, many female audience members let out irrepressible exclamations.

Whew, and the entire shot was engulfed in black smoke.

The screen was pitch black, nothing could be seen, as if falling into hell, and the audience's screams made the atmosphere even more tense, and even the air froze.

After almost two seconds, the camera finally passed through the billowing black smoke and the screen lit up again.

Almost everyone at the scene let out a long sigh of relief and began to wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads, feeling like they had walked through hell.

As the camera pans forward, the battle intensifies as tanks are blown up, dust fills the air, black smoke billows, and robotic soldiers are torn apart by bullets and heavy firearms, and fragments of parts are flying around. However, this did not stop the footsteps of the robot soldiers, accompanied by Rossini's "William Retreat Overture", stepping on firm steps and fearlessly rushing to the position of the 1st Cavalry Division!

The strong rhythm of "Wilhelm Retreat Overture" is accompanied by the sound of huge explosions one after another, making the entire screening hall feel like an earthquake, the floor and seats cannot stop shaking, and the strong sound effect even makes the audience feel that all the internal organs are shaking.

The strong visual impact, the blood-boiling music, and the unparalleled sense of presence simply made the audience lose their language ability, and everyone had a sentence in their hearts, which was too shocking, too damning!

As the camera crosses the AI troops, passes through the positions of the 1st Cavalry Division, and pushes towards the headquarters, the audience sees Adams standing outside the command vehicle, calmly watching the movement of the battlefield.

The camera slowly pushes towards Adams, from a large panorama to a medium shot, to a close-up, and finally to a large close-up. Through the epaulettes, the viewer discovers that Adams has been promoted from lieutenant to major.

Adams' appearance hasn't changed much from before, but the temperament of the whole person is completely different. Adams had been a warm lad before, always with a big smile on his face, as warm as the sun, but now he had a calm countenance and a grim expression, like a sharpened sword that could be unsheathed at any moment.

Lana Wachowski was stunned and said to her younger brother next to her: "Zhang Ran has achieved the perfect fusion of classical war films and modern war films, and no director has ever been able to achieve this level." Ridley Scott can't do it, Spielberg can't do it, even Akira Kurosawa can't do it if he's alive!"

Andy Wachowski nodded: "Only genius imagination and madman persistence are possible! Of course, you must also have money, you have to burn money to make this kind of movie, don't even think about it if you don't have money!"

Cameron always thought that it was a pity that "Future Apocalypse" was not filmed in 3D, but after watching this shot, he realized that it was right not to use 3D, and the 3D photography system was too cumbersome to complete such an ultra-low-altitude cruise: "With this lens alone, "Future Apocalypse" is enough to leave a name in film history!"

Ridley Scott shook his head with a wry smile, thinking that China has the best epic film director, why should someone else shoot "Qin Shi Huang", I still make a sequel to "Alien Prequel"!

The most excited of the directors present was undoubtedly Bondarchuk Jr., who could not control his emotions at all and was already in tears.

When Bondarchuk filmed "War and Peace", he especially wanted to show the cruelty of the battlefield with ultra-low-altitude cruising shots, but due to technical constraints, he failed to realize his idea. In the third part of "War and Peace", there is an ultra-low-altitude cruising shot, simulating the trajectory of the shell, pushing the camera from the French position to the Russian position, and finally the shell falls to the Russian position, but the height of the whole shot is not enough, and it is only a few tens of meters away, which fails to achieve the desired effect.

Bondarchuk was very sorry for this, and described his true idea to his son Bondarchuk Jr., and the whole shot was first explained to the French commander, and then the camera was pulled into the air and pushed towards the Russian position. The entire shot spans the entire battlefield and is pushed to the Russian command headquarters, ending with a close-up of the Russian commander.

During the filming of "Stalingrad", Bondarchuk Jr. thought about realizing his father's idea in the film, but the funds and technology did not allow it, and he finally gave up. Unexpectedly, I really saw an ultra-low-altitude cruising long shot on the screen today.

Little Bondarchuk wiped his tears and said softly: "Father, did you see it? The ultra-low-altitude cruising long shot you dreamed of was really shot!"

The audience was very quiet, and they were all immersed in extreme shock, and almost everyone was dumbfounded. At this moment, their hearts are extremely shocked!
