Chapter 1183: Big Ship! Big Ship! (2)
Cheng Xiaoyu sat in the theater in Los Angeles, quietly waiting for the movie to start, the lights in the theater dimmed, the IMAX countdown promotional video began, and the huge number of "5.4.3.2.1" turned in front of the audience's eyes, which seemed to be within reach, and many viewers couldn't help but exclaim.

Then a moving female voice rang in my ears: "Watch a movie, or enter a movie?"
"IMAX" appears in huge blue letters.
Then countless starlight passed in front of the audience's eyes, the picture darkened, and the green American Review Board subtitles appeared, Wang Ou, who was sitting next to Cheng Xiaoyu with three-D glasses, had just returned from Thailand, and he was still in contact with IMAX for the first time, and said with some surprise: "! This IMAX effect is blowing up the sky!"
As soon as the words fell, the iconic goddess statue of "Xichu Films" appeared in front of the audience's eyes in the misty clouds and thousands of lights, and this classic opening has been a big hit with Cheng Xiaoyu's movie, spreading to all corners of the world.
At this moment, all the "Titanic" screening halls in the world are silent, and the whole earth is silent at this moment.
The world's longest and most expensive film has officially begun.
Some of the yellowed images show a huge, magnificent, luxurious ship - there is no doubt that this is the Titanic!
However, the color of the picture only exists in our senses, and what is displayed in front of the audience is a single yellow color, as if it is an old photo of many years in the past, and an old thing that has gone through countless springs and autumns.
This makes them seem to be able to brush off the dust of the years, count the spring and autumn days, and re-appreciate the feelings of the old dreams.
Xia Shamo's light chant seemed to come from the nine heavens, with a sense of emptiness and vastness, echoing in our ears. The song is ups and downs, roaring and roaring, but it is lingering and twisting and turning.
A white subtitle appears in the middle: Cheng Xiaoyu's work.
With this gentle singing, the camera moves, streamers flutter, and colorful flags fly. The drums are loud and the voices are loud.
Jointly produced by Xichu (USA) Film Company and Xichu International Film Group. (Transcript)
Produced by a special effects company in the digital field (subtitles)
Original Soundtrack: Cheng Xiaoyu (subtitles)
Then the color of the old image faded in front of me, and a deep, changing color took over the whole field of vision......
It was the water, sparkling.
On that dark blue background, a line of large letters gradually appeared:
TITANIC
The camera changes, the depths of the ocean, dark and cold.
It's a place where the sun doesn't shine all year round, it's pitch black, beautiful and intimidating, but now, its darkness has been broken. When the first rays of light pierced through the gloomy world, a terrifying monster was revealed......
Starring:Catherine Blanchett,Leonardo Dane DeHaan (subtitled)
Theme song singing: Xia Shamo (subtitles)
"Got it...... Well, go up,...... Go to the bow of the boat. ”
"Mir-2, let's go to the bow of the ship and keep up!"
Two deep-water submarines are circling around this monster.
Inside the submarine, a camera shot at the scene outside the porthole, everything in front of him was very deep, and it was a little frightening in the bottom of the sea, and immediately the audience saw the wreckage of the Titanic lying down......
It rested in the darkness of the sea, surrounded by a terrible silence, bearing the vicious scars of its tragedy, moored heavily on the sedimentary layer, slightly inclined to the port side, with its stern facing south, and seemed to struggle with a mournful struggle to rise to the surface to a harbor it had never seen before, and the rusted hull of the ship was covered with sediment and sediment from the seabed.
As soon as the yellowed and nostalgic picture passed, the deep sea in the IMAX super-large screen screen made people can't help but marvel, it was so realistic that all the audience held their breath.
The submarine's lights jumped beneath the dark superstructure of the wreckage of the Titanic, casting a long, ghostly shadow on its long, rotting teak deck. Now, the upper deck of the Titanic is completely bare, the towering chimneys and masts are gone, only the black and white paint is faintly distinguishable, and the pillars of the lifeboat are empty, as if reaching out and begging to return what it has long lost. Its portholes, some open and some closed, were neatly arranged on the wide ship's dazzle. Through the marks of the peeling ornaments and the broken hull, you can vaguely see the luxurious momentum of the past, but you can't make out the colors and shapes of the decorations.
The light illuminated a metal openwork door that had been rusted to the point that only half a page remained. Plankton in the sea swim like snowflakes in this silent world, and an atmosphere of death envelops the once-blazing ship.
In just a few minutes, the audience has completely entered another world, a super real visual enjoyment, as if the audience has entered the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
Sitting in the best IMAX theater in Shanghai, Chang Yue in the Zhengda Cinema in Xichu muttered to himself: "Damn! This is really too tricky! No wonder it cost 600 million, 120 yuan is really worth it!"
Wu Fan also chimed in beside him: "I didn't expect the squad leader to be so stubborn now...... This is completely different from the level and style of the movies he has made before!"
"I think this is the style of the squad leader! atmospheric and shocking!" Chang Yue said without turning his head at the big screen.
Cheng Xiaoyu used the only IMAX.ALEXA.70mm camera in the world to shoot the whole process, this camera is still in the experimental stage, but Cheng Xiaoyu spent a lot of money to lend it.
Although the IMAX.ALEXA.70mm camera is very difficult to serve, the image quality and detail capture are difficult to achieve with ordinary cameras, and it is a new visual experience that can make people feel like they are in the middle of the action.
This IMAX. The ALEXA.70mm is currently the world's highest-resolution camera, and the scenes it shoots are fully displayed on the IMAX screen, allowing the audience to see about 40% more images than ordinary screens, and with ultra-high clarity and color saturation, it truly presents the audience with an unimaginable viewing experience.
Francisco Ford Cohen wore huge 3D glasses, and when he saw such an amazing picture, he had a complicated expression, which made him finally know why his 3D film could not be successful!
Because I didn't pursue the ultimate, in order to save costs, the shooting effect was far from being comparable to Cheng Xiaoyu's, and the meaning of the existence of 3D is to maximize the human sensory experience.
Staven Bell, who was sitting in the audience, changed his expression from relaxed at the beginning to very serious, and he began to doubt his judgment, "Why can't such an IMAX succeed?"
A red, magnified beetle-like robot was released from the submarine and sank into the wreckage of the wreck with a long control cable. With the feedback from the microphone, you can see an image of the robot Duncan in motion.
The black-and-white images seen from the television cameras clearly transmit every part of the ship to the submarine. On the screen, the broken wounds caused by the collision between the Titanic and the iceberg can be seen, from the tip of the starboard side to the third boiler room, which is about 300 feet below the hull.
The large holes with open mouths under the waterline in the bow were the result of the crushing impact of many boilers, which broke free from the center of the ship, smashed into layers of wall cabins, and finally rushed into the sea.
"It's here, it's on...... Left, left, left......" Following Lowett's command, the technician repeats the command while manipulating the robot Duncan. The robot is acting exactly as the technician commands......
All that remains of the door frame is the rusted and broken carved door decoration, and the light can only illuminate the remaining part, as if a few teeth are exposed from the open mouth, and inside the door frame is a black hidden world.
In the middle of the boat, next to a piece of clothing, there was a pair of glasses with only one lens left, and it was not known if his owner had survived.
Another object illuminated by the light, but it was unbearable to look at, it was a doll with half of its body buried in the mud and sand of the seabed. When the light moves, it makes the person feel that its eyes are blinking because of the action of the light. Give somebody the creeps.
Such a fine and real picture, with all the audience, seems to have really entered the Titanic under the Atlantic, everyone thinks that this is a real shooting, in order to do it better than what I remember, Cheng Xiaoyu spent a lot of money and was nitpicky about every detail.
He demands not only truth, but also shock and beauty, so that the composition of each storyboard is impeccable, complex and undazzling, rich and natural, with aura and rigor, and the composition of each second, the focus of the shot, and the connection of the editing all make the audience feel that they are carefully observing it all at the bottom of the sea.
At this moment, the audience in the movie theater, every scalp is numb, Cheng Xiaoyu used IMAX to shoot the underwater picture, the audience's visual experience is magnified to the extreme, the camera uses expensive 70mm film, and the resolution of the projected picture is more than 10 times higher than that of ordinary 35mm film.
On this item alone, Cheng Xiaoyu's "Titanic" picture shook off the original version a few streets, of course, this is not to say that Cheng Xiaoyu is better than Cameron, but the current special effects and camera technology are much more powerful than the memory of ninety-seven years.
In just over ten minutes, the audience was deeply attracted by everything about this movie, whether it was a real and wonderful picture or a suspenseful storyline.
When the elderly Ruth surprisingly said on the big screen, "Of course I know, the woman in the picture is me!" Stavin Bell knew that if the disaster scene behind the film could be maintained, even if the story was average, the film would be an unimaginable success.
He muttered in his heart: "Is it true that the era of 3D and IMAX is really coming? Could it be that this time he made the right bet?"
With a little sadness, with some wind howling, with the sound of the waves, the more than 17,000 theaters around the world seem to enter another world, although the audience in the 2D and 3D theaters is not as stunned and immersive as in the IMAX theater, but it is still shocking.
The story has just begun, but the audience has already begun to congratulate that this movie is long enough, coupled with the epic soundtrack shown by Cheng Xiaoyu, this movie can be called the ultimate enjoyment, and it is almost certain that the soundtrack of this movie will be popular, and many fans of Cheng Xiaoyu already feel that this is the best soundtrack they have heard this year.
Xia Shamo's breezy chant and the sobbing Scottish bagpipes are simply BUG-level soundtracks, and countless people have to sigh why Cheng Xiaoyu can be so good?
Forget if the movie is good! The music is so good! How can others live?
The eyes and ears of the audience are deeply immersed in this movie, and their minds have completely entered the world of this movie, and they cannot feel the passage of time at all.
As the elderly Ruth narrates the world-famous "unsinkable ship" in poetic language, behind her, the camera moves slowly around the rusted shipwreck, and through the huge, though broken, hull, there is still a morbid beauty, and when the light sweeps over the hull, the audience can vaguely see the 3-foot-tall gold letters "TITANIC" still flashing proudly on the hull......
Gradually, the blue water became transparent, like a magical hand, erasing the barrier of the sea water and clarifying the haze in the corners of the eyes. Time seemed to be reversed, and with the clear sight, the wreck instantly became new. The sun is shining, and the voices are noisy......
In the narration of the elderly Ruth, the whole audience followed the camera back to more than a hundred years ago - on that sunny day on April 10, 1912, the Titanic was about to set sail......
