"These people are really annoying, isn't it good to pay attention to the movie itself?"

Ye Lin glanced at the back of the reporter standing in front of her, her eyes slightly disgusted. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As a well-known online film critic, she naturally received an official premiere invitation this time, so she is sitting here. Sitting next to her was her boyfriend Pan Xiaoyu, who was also a film critic and received an invitation to attend the premiere, and now he asked after hearing Ye Lin's words: "Do you think it is really like Du An said, Zhang Yi has participated a lot in this movie?"

Ye Lin looked hesitant and unsure, but in the end she shook her head and said: "I think it should just be a response, you know, Zhang Yi has been busy with the filming of "Golden Armor", and it is unlikely that he will spare so much time to participate in the filming of "Liberation Day". ”

Pan Xiaoyu nodded, he thought the same way.

"I've pretty much figured out what you're thinking, but I'm judging from the other side, and that's personal style. Zhang Yi and Du An can be called big directors, they both have their own artistic concepts, and if the two concepts are forcibly fused together, they will inevitably conflict and be difficult to coordinate, so for the sake of the quality of the film, I don't think Du An will let Zhang Yi participate a lot, this assistant director should be just a name. ”

Ye Lin laughed when she heard this, "It's not last year now, and you should know a lot more about Duane, so you should also know that Duane is not a director in the traditional sense - compared to other directors who have their own distinctive characteristics, he has almost no fixed style, or rather, his style is changing all the time." With such a he, I don't think there will be a conflict with Zhang Yimou's personal philosophy, in the final analysis, it should be the reason why Zhang Yimou is not available. ”

Pan Xiaoyu shook his head.

For his girlfriend's admiration for this director, he has always been a little mindful.

In his opinion, Duane is indeed a very talented director, but his girlfriend can't help but praise this director too highly, and he is almost worshipping as an omnipotent god.

However, he also had experience and knew that he couldn't argue with his girlfriend on this issue, so he had to skip over and cut straight to the theme of today's premiere.

"You say, how will he make this "Liberation Day"?"

Ye Lin thought for a moment and said, "Judging from the promotional materials and their global promotional roadshow in the last month, this film takes place in the 21st century...... Not only did they do a good job of keeping the film secret, but they didn't reveal too much detailed information in the publicity, and we only know that the characters in it are the chairman, the chairman's wife, soldiers, scientists, etc. To be honest, these characters are too general, and basically as long as the movie is the main theme, these characters will basically be involved, so I can't guess how he will shoot at all. ”

At this point, Yelene paused, looked in the stands—the reporter had already asked the question, and it was time to move on to the next part—and then she continued: "What puzzles me especially is that he has set the background in the twenty-first century...... According to the general law, the main theme movies generally shoot modern events, basically focusing on the period from the Xinhai Revolution to the reform and opening up, but he is filmed in the 21st century...... I really don't know what he wants to shoot. ”

Pan Xiaoyu smiled and said: "The main theme, it must be focused on some major events, as long as you think about what major events have happened in recent years, I think it is not difficult to guess how he will shoot." If I want to see it, it is very likely that he will grasp the three things of WTO accession, Olympic bid, and SARS, but it is unlikely that he will shoot all three things, and I think it is very likely that he will only grasp one thing to shoot, so as to achieve the effect of deepening the theme, after all, if all three things are filmed, the audience's attention will be easily distracted, and it is not easy to dig the theme too deeply. But why did these things come together with Liberation Day...... Then I can't guess. ”

Ye Lin listened and nodded slowly.

She agrees with Pan Xiaoyu's statement.

"If anything can be guessed by us, then he can't rely on this line of food anymore, let's see which one he will shoot, right?"

Ye Lin said with a smile.

The premiere on stage is almost now, and the premiere is over a moment after chatting between the two.

In the applause, everyone on the stage stepped down one after another, the lights gradually went out, and the movie began.

The first thing that appeared on the screen was the DreamWorks logo, the logo of the production company that was established a few years ago and is now familiar to many people.

After the opening animation passes, the film begins.

The opening image is simple, just a movie name of "Liberation Day" in the center of the screen, and nothing else, and then the name is broken and reassembled into a few other words.

September twenty-nine.

"Twenty-nine September?"

Many people were stunned when they saw this date.

In their understanding, Liberation Day should be the National Day, and the clues can be seen from the "Liberation Day" placed on the National Day holiday, but isn't the National Day October 1st, why is the date September 29th?

Ye Lin and Pan Xiaoyu were also stunned: September twenty-nine?

Judging from their rich experience in watching movies, the hints given by this movie are already so obvious, it is very likely that the whole movie took place in the days from September 29 to October 1, but whether it is WTO accession, Olympic bid or SARS, none of these three major events happened in September and October!

They glanced at each other, both saw the confusion in each other's eyes, and then they both looked at the screen again.

After the subtitles of September 29 are shattered, the camera goes black and then bright, and a desolate place appears on the screen, the ground is full of sand, the angle of the sun is strange, the light is also strange, and behind it is a dark night sky with stars twinkling on it.

"It's on the moon!"

Some viewers have already recognized this land - of course, it is not surprising that they can recognize it, because at Duane's request, the picture of this land from casting to post-production special effects is completely based on a well-known photo of the moon once released by the United States.

The desolate land is not empty, and on the right side of the lens, there is a remnant that does not look like a lunar mountain, which looks a bit like a ...... Ruins?

As the low background sound gradually rose and became more and more intense, the sand on the ground slowly shook, and the ruins that were suspected to be the remains of human activities also shook together, and the sand and stones shook open, revealing some authentic traces below, and the audience saw some things that were suspected to be stone pillars and stone beams.

Is it really a ruined wall? A ruined wall on the moon?

The scene was full of Chinese sons and daughters, and a word flashed in their minds for the first time - Guanghan Palace.

The vibration of the sand and gravel on the ground became more and more severe, and a piece of something in the ruins was shaken slightly closer to the camera, and the sudden appearance of something with a different step rate in this shot with the same overall vibration frequency immediately attracted the attention of all the audience.

This is a white stone, a bit like a broken stone plaque, after the sand and stone shook down, you can still see the concave and convex above, the concave and convex are obvious under the side illumination of the sun's rays, like a word, but even if there are so many people present, many of them are well-educated, but no one can recognize what kind of word it is, and even they don't even know what language family this word belongs to, they just feel that this word is very mysterious and ancient at a glance.

The audience's attention was not focused on this for a long time, and soon, a shadow appeared on the surface of the moon, covering a larger and larger area from far to near, and finally the surface of the moon that appeared in the shot was covered under the shadow.

As soon as the camera turned around, it was still a shadow-covered lunar surface, and then slowly lifted up, and finally the lunar surface could not be seen.

Earth.

"It's really on the moon!"

Now everyone knows.

But what was that shadow? And they knew right away.

The background sounds become more and more intense and high-pitched, and one of the voices becomes clearer and clearer......

That's the sound of airflow!

A black land appears above the camera, the black land flies forward, more and more parts appear in the shot, and the sound of the air flow becomes louder and louder, and then the audience sees that there are many saucer-shaped protrusions and ravines distributed under this black land.

The black earth "hanging upside down" in the air is so large that the camera can't see where the left and right edges of this black earth are, only the bottom of it, the circular edge in front of it, the disc-shaped protrusions below, and the sound of air currents from the countless speakers scattered throughout the theater, all of which make them immediately guess the essence of this thing.

It's a huge UFO! A UFO is flying towards the Earth!

"God knows how we hear the air currents in space......"

One of the audience members said this to himself, but that didn't stop him from staring at the screen.

Others are lamenting something else.

"It's so real, it's a step further than "Terminator", and the current computer technology is terrible. ”

Pan Xiaoyu sighed like this, and Ye Lin next to him said: "Of course, after all, a year has passed, and the investment amount in this movie is much more than that of the Terminator, and the quality of the special effects has always been closely linked to money." "The eyes didn't leave the screen for a moment.

Not to mention, just looking at such a realistic picture is already a pleasure in itself, and it can also be seen that the Duane team takes the work seriously and seriously, and does not use five-cent special effects to fool the audience in order to save money and production cycle like some other films.

When the background sound reaches its peak, it suddenly stops, and the white light flashes, and the camera has returned to Earth from space, and what appears on the screen is a grassy plain with several radars lined up. Then the camera cuts to the room, the subtitles of "Gansu Province, Alien Exploration Center" flashed at the bottom, and Jay Chou's "Nunchuck" sounded in the background, and the camera shifted to see a young white man in casual clothes playing indoor golf.

The rhythm of the whole picture slowed down significantly, and Wei Yang, who was nervous by the movie just now, was relieved at this time, and immediately complained in a low voice: "UFO? alien? What is this?

Song Zhen, who was sitting next to him, opened her mouth and was about to blurt out a sentence of "Shut up!" but she immediately thought of something, and quickly closed her mouth, her lips squirmed for a while, and finally she didn't open her mouth to say anything, just looked at the screen quietly.

It was Zhang Rong on her left who whispered impatiently: "Okay, you can watch the movie quietly." ”

Wei Yang pursed his lips and didn't say anything more after all.

And in the past dozen rows in front of them, Ye Lin was muttering to herself: "Aliens?ufo?Liberation Day?......" She thought, her eyes became brighter and brighter, and she seemed to realize something, and finally it was Pan Xiaoyu who said what she thought in her heart instead of her.

"It's not WTO accession, it's not Olympic bidding, it's SARS, it's alien invasion!"

He sighed, "We all guessed wrong, he actually combined science fiction with the main theme, the main theme science fiction film? Maybe he will create a new genre." ”

Ye Lin expressed her worries, "The sci-fi film is too different from the main theme, I don't know what he will do......"

In addition to them, the other audiences in the theater are also very stunned: they said that it was the main theme movie, and they were ready to be "educated" for two hours, where did they think that it would suddenly become a science fiction film?

In addition to these audiences, Shu Yu also has a little doubt, of course, she who has watched the film is not the same as the audience's doubts, her doubts are in another aspect.

"Are you sure this film will reach three billion at the box office?"

She asked Duane beside her.

Duane withdrew his gaze from the screen, turned his head to look at her, and smiled, "Of course." ”

Shu Yu said again: "But no one has ever tried this situation, we are the first to eat crabs, and we don't know whether the market accepts or rejects such films, so you made such a promise and made a bet, don't you think you are too much?"

The more she talked, the more angry she became.

"Have you ever thought that if you really don't have three billion, you will really retire? You are too willful!"

Du An's words listened to her silently and didn't say a word: he knew that in fact, Shu Yu had already had an opinion on his original actions, but he had been holding back for fear of affecting his mood, and now that all the publicity work was over, she probably found an opportunity to discuss this issue with herself, and the emotional turmoil caused by the reporter's fierce offensive just now was resolved by herself, so that she finally couldn't hold back and vented.

In fact, Shu Yu didn't have an opinion on him about the box office of 3 billion, if he simply boasted about Haikou and said that the box office was 3 billion, Shu Yu would probably follow up and say "yes", but he gambled on his future for this, which is unacceptable to Shu Yu - in short, it is that if you care, you will be chaotic.

He reached over and grabbed Shu Yu's small hand, Shu Yu struggled to get rid of him and held it harder, and finally Shu Yu gave up the struggle and let his big hand wrap around his small hand.

"You think that the first person to eat crabs represents instability and high risk, but you should also know that risk has always been proportional to returns, and the greater the risk, the greater the benefits, so in my opinion, we are the first to eat crabs, which is an advantage. ”

Duane said with a smile, finally looking at the screen and throwing her a word.

"Don't worry, you have said that I am the king of the world, I command them to laugh and they laugh, I command them to cry and they will cry. ”

"Now, I command them to fall in love with the film. (To be continued.) )
