Chapter 1010: Hidden Easter Eggs
Walking through the lively red carpet, Eric took the girl to sign autographs in front of the photo wall in the theater hall, and then walked to the lounge where the main creator and guests of the theater were waiting temporarily. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Most of the people had already arrived, and everyone greeted them when Eric and Drew appeared.
Eric hugged the three daughters of Charlize in gorgeous dresses one by one, and praised with a smile: "Girls, you are so beautiful today." ”
Looking at the men who have become more and more unattainable in terms of wealth and power over the years, the three Charlize girls feel that the scene where they secretly smoked and happened to be caught red-handed by Eric seemed to be a long time ago, and they were inevitably a little embarrassed.
Charlize and Penelope both know that the past cannot be traced, and those beautiful memories may never happen again, and they are very polite and respectful to Eric.
Kate, whose actual personality is by no means like Selena, the three-no-girl in the film, looked at the girl who was holding Eric's arm affectionately, but she had a faint sourness, and couldn't help but say: "Eric, we are still girls, but you are getting more and more old-fashioned when you speak." ”
Listening to Kate's obviously somewhat apprehensive tone, the faces of the people around her were a little strange for a while.
Over the years, Eric has gradually discovered that he is not suitable for the kind of days when he has a bunch of women around him.
In Hollywood, which has no shortage of beauty resources, those sexy goddesses who were once sought after by countless men have no mystery about Eric, and even some of them are taking and demanding, and they are gradually a little numb, and he also deeply understands why there are so many homosexuals in Hollywood and the fashion industry.
At this time, Eric could only pretend to ignore Kate's sour tone, and joked: "This is something that can't be helped, I'm a big man now." ”
Everyone laughed softly, and Kate realized that her words were a little out of place, but she just rolled her eyes slightly.
Everyone greeted each other for a while, and the staff began to notify everyone to enter the screening room.
Although Eric still holds the title of writer and executive producer in this sequel, he does not plan to take the stage today, but simply watches the interaction between several creators and the live audience as a guest offstage.
And so it was not until seven o'clock that the lights dimmed in the hall and the screening of the film began. Everyone in the audience turned their attention to the big screen.
After MGM's iconic opening credits, the scene quickly switches to a discotheque with deafening music.
Penelope's Luciene, dressed in a shiny short dress, cruises through the crowd in a variety of styles, her sexy body sliding past several brawlers who are clearly watching the scene.
The sound of Zizi's electricity suddenly sounded, and a helpless voice said, "Lu'er, stop playing, go up and help." ”
Lucini looked at the camera on the ceiling in the corner of the disco, pressed the wireless earphone in her ear, and then raised her other hand to show a walkie-talkie in her hand: "Isn't this just helping, there are so many miscellaneous fish here, we will be in trouble if they rush together." ”
With that, Lucine made her way to the staircase in the corner.
Compared to the carnival on the first floor, the second floor seemed to be more 'lively', with thugs lying on the ground in the corridor, flowing past the crowd of corpses with disgusted expressions, and suddenly there was a loud bang at the end of the corridor, and a thug flew out against the broken door panel.
"Tsk, that's violent," Lucine unceremoniously raised her foot to knock out the strong man who was still moaning on the ground, and walked into the office at the end of the hallway, where the door had been destroyed.
In the office, Selena, played by Kate, is dressed in a strong suit and stands coldly in the center of the room.
A white and chubby middle-aged man is like a little girl who is about to be exploded, trembling and curling up in the corner, his tone is completely non-stop, and he quickly begs for mercy: "There are 20,000 US dollars in the cabinet, I have a credit card password in my wallet, it is six one, if you want, you can also take my suit away, it is Armani's, it can be sold for a lot of money, and the watch, I bought it in Italy, I am just an accountant, I don't know anything, you don't kill me......"
In the screening room, looking at Wayne Knight, who played the hapless programmer in "Jurassic Park", with a decrepit face, the audience couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Why do I have a feeling that I've been robbed of my lines?" Lucini also smiled and walked up to the fat man, telling a cold joke that fans of the "Breaking Bad" series can easily dissociate, and then said: "Mr. Maldon, don't pretend, tell me where the safe is, or I'll let her ask?"
Lucini said, gesturing to Selena behind her.
Hearing Lucini call out her real name, the fat man instantly put away his expression begging for mercy, and his eyes involuntarily glanced at a painting on the wall, but there was a little cunning in his expression.
Suddenly, a voice came from the headset again: "The desk seems to be constantly moved, move it to see." ”
Lucini reached out and pushed towards the mahogany desk beside her, which seemed to be very heavy, but Lucini only pushed a little, and the desk slid to the side, revealing a safe embedded in the ground.
"Hey, do you know what you're doing?"
Seeing Luciene's movements, the fat man suddenly became very excited, and his face bounced up from the ground with a fierce face, only to be hit by Selena's sharp elbow, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
At this time, Rigil's voice sounded again in the headphones: "Someone came up, a lot of people." ”
Luciene, who was half-crouching on the ground checking the safe, looked up and met Selena's gaze: "Win me two minutes." ”
Selena nodded slightly, and simply walked out of the office to meet the large number of thugs who rushed to the second floor.
At this point in the plot, less than two minutes have actually passed.
Originally, I just saw a shot of a minion being indirectly thrown out of the office door by the tough Lucinie, and some fans at the scene were still a little disappointed, thinking that there would not be too hot fight scenes in the prologue this time.
However, in the next three minutes or so, accompanied by the hot music of the disco downstairs, under the cool montage editing, Selena once again showed her strong skills to the fullest.
When Charlize's Jill appeared in a helicopter at the end, lifting Selena and Luciene, who had completed the mission, to fly into the distance in the bright lights of Los Angeles, all the fans in the screening room couldn't help but be hooked.
Even some film critics who are more conservative and not interested in action movies can't help but nod secretly at this well-set prologue.
Insiders look at the doorway, just this short five-minute prologue, these film critics feel that the producer has spent a lot of thought, not only the elaborate action design, but also the scenes of the three heroines are also arranged just right, and at the same time, the unique style of the "Breaking Bad" series is vividly displayed.
Although the Agent Cinematic Universe Fusion has been opened, in order to avoid the aesthetic fatigue of the audience caused by the homogenization of styles, the three series have maintained very distinctive characteristics.
007 focuses on various high-tech props and Bond's tough guy gentleman style, and of course, there is no shortage of Bond girls with all kinds of style.
The "Mission Impossible" series pays attention to challenging the limits, and uses various plot settings to tighten the audience's mind.
Although the last "Breaking Baby" is the three protagonists, Selena's toughness, Jill's genius and Lucie's often unbearable fragments are firmly engraved in the audience's impression.
In addition, there are a series of small details such as Buick sedan, dad terrier, etc., coupled with a perfect world view background setting, the characteristics of the "Thunderbolt Baby" series can be said to be the most distinct.
After the prologue, after a few minutes of introductory credits, the plot finally enters the main theme.
John, the liaison played by Morgan Freeman, receives the information that the three girls get from the fat man, and does not explain much to them, but tells the three heroines that because of the incident on the British island last time, the detective agency may have caused some trouble, and Charlie, the boss behind the scenes, needs the three of them to hide temporarily in order to ensure the safety of the three girls.
Seeing this, most viewers realized that Charlie's detective agency was undoubtedly provoking the ghost party, and some more sensitive fans thought of the easter eggs that Charlie's holiday cottage was blown up at the end of last year's "007: Casino Royale", and they can roughly guess the next plot direction.
Charlie's Detective Agency's efforts to solve the trouble have apparently failed.
What followed was a ten-minute literary drama.
Under the arrangement of the detective agency, all three girls were given a job to disguise their identities.
Jill is assigned to an Internet company, where she listens to her boss, who is obsessed with the reality but not very capable, bragging about the company's IPO prospects, while also being wary of the groping hands that come from time to time.
Lucini goes to work as a waitress in a top restaurant, and endures the temptation to stuff expensive silver cutlery into her pocket.
Selena works as a promoter in a clothing store and is often mistaken for a dummy model.
Although it is a literary drama, the strong contrast between the three protagonists and their actual identities gives all the audience a sense of substitution as a pig and a tiger, so it is not boring at all.
On the other hand, in the opening prologue, the disco that the three girls break into is actually a stronghold of the Phantom Party in the United States.
The document that the three girls get from the fat man's safe is actually a list of members of the Phantom Party.
Charlie's Detective Agency is trying to use this to cooperate with the FBI to wipe out the Spectres and solve the trouble that the agency has inadvertently caused once and for all.
Despite the success of the operation, everyone still far underestimated the potential strength of the Phantom Party.
The people on that list are still just a peripheral branch of the Phantom Party.
Then, there is the scene in the easter egg of "007: Casino Royale", Charlie, the boss behind the office, is retaliated by the Ghost Party, and the three daughters hear the news and stage the transformation of the big demon together in their respective 'work positions', and then rush to the rescue, all they see is a holiday cottage that has been bombed into ruins.
Luckily, Charlie Townsend didn't have an accident.
Now that the conflict between the two sides has formed a mortal enmity, Charlie arranges for the three girls to continue to investigate the details of the Ghost Party.
During the subsequent tracking, the three girls had a misunderstanding with another team of agents who were also investigating the Ghost Party.
This is naturally an impossible task team led by Ethan Hunt.
After a confrontation, the misunderstanding between the two sides was resolved, and under the guidance of the clues given by Ethan Hunter, the three girls once again killed another base of the Phantom Party for the final battle of this sequel.
On closer analysis, the plot setting of this sequel is not too elaborate, and the standard high-concept movie mode.
However, with the support of the complete background and worldview of "Breaking Bad", coupled with the plot interspersing of the other two series, as well as countless commendable easter eggs and foreshadowing settings, the fun for the audience is far greater than that of other high-concept movies of the same genre that do not have much background and popularity support from their own scripts.
Just like this sequel, in the final battle with the Spectres, Eric sets up a very secret easter egg, and a document with "Stumbling Block Project" appears on the desk of the villain of this episode.
Although the relevant footage is only swept away, Eric believes that this hidden easter egg can finally be unearthed by avid fans.
"Stumbling Block Project", which naturally led to the "Spy Shadow" series.
As for the plan appearing on the desk of the Ghost Party villain, it is not a plot that was forcibly set up.
According to the original novel, "Stumbling Block Project" was learned by the villain, which eventually led to the leakage of the entire plan, the disbandment of the group, and Bourne's incognito.
Therefore, it is naturally reasonable for the more powerful and intertwined Ghost Party to obtain the information of the stumbling block plan.
defeated the enemies of this sequel, and at the end of the film, there will naturally be no shortage of regular easter eggs to warm up for "Mission Impossible 3" at the end of the year.
Although in recent years, there has been no shortage of critics criticizing the Secret Service Cinematic Universe series for overusing these 'little tricks'.
But there's no doubt that, just like the Marvel Cinematic Universe series, these little tricks have gathered a lot of popularity and attention for the entire series.
In all fairness, the films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe are definitely not too good. Most of them are just decent popcorn special effects blockbusters.
But it was precisely this series of clever commercialization that they used to unite the popularity of all the series in the entire project, and finally got the effect that one plus one is far greater than the two, and achieved a huge commercial success that all film companies are extremely envious.
This "Breaking Bads 3", whether it is the quality of the film or the promotion of the movie, MGM has done its best to the extreme, and the company's excellence can be seen from the ultra-high production cost of 160 million US dollars, so the premiere was naturally a success.
At the end of the film, as soon as the lights came on, the hall of the theater burst into applause.
After the creators took the stage again to express their gratitude, the premiere officially ended.
Eric briefly showed up with the girl at the next premiere party and left early.
Observing the reaction of fans and critics at today's premiere, Eric has no worries about the film's box office prospects.
The next day, at Sharp Corner Manor, as soon as he woke up in the morning, Eric got the news that "Breaking Bad 3" broke the box office record of the North American midnight show without any suspense.
In the restaurant, a girl in a vest and hot pants was lying at the dining table, looking at the box office data report in front of her, and her tone was extremely excited: "$12.5 million, it's really amazing, it's $2.5 million higher than "The Matrix 2". ”
Eric held last week's box office data in his hand, looked at the girl's proud little appearance, smiled and poured cold water: "There's no need to be so proud, the "Star Wars Prequel" at the end of the year will definitely easily refresh this record." ”
"Hehe, I don't compare it with the Star Wars series, but I heard that the internal test screening of the first prequel was not good at all, and it is said that Queen Amidala is very ugly. Lucas might mess up this time. ”
