Being able to integrate his own cultural elements into commercial blockbusters and strive to be widely accepted by audiences around the world is the motivation for Tang Huan's attention to films. The adventure series "Phantom of the Tomb", which is placed under the operation system of DreamWorks, is the most likely model to be copied, because it does not have the rare help of the richest man himself like "Protecting the Flowers".

In order to please the audience of several major box office warehouses as much as possible, "Phantom of the Tomb: Eight Arrays" compared with the previous "Phantom of the Tomb: Wrath of the Dragon Emperor", cautiously and moderately expanded the scope of actor selection, including the mainland, Xiangjiang, Treasure Island, Japan, and the United States.

However, given the current tensions between Baodao and the mainland, not all artists can participate in it. is like Guan Zhilin has been blowing the wind on the pillow to ask for a second heroine, but considering her commercial value, it was not approved.

Tang Huan can make the treasure island side turn a blind eye, but he must also grasp a degree, and he can't make it too obvious, leaving a handle that cannot be refuted and cleared.

This also makes the "Phantom of the Tomb" series of movies a cradle for cultivating some newcomers, and at the same time, it also pays more attention to the works themselves.

Xiangjiang is the base camp of DreamWorks, as the first stop of the film's debut, all the actors have to take the stage to participate in the promotion, and when they go to Treasure Island, Japan, and the United States, they will have their own focus.

In this case, the excitement can be imagined, and the entertainment reporters present are simply dazzled.

Tang Huan looked at the chaotic scene in front of him with some amusement, and noticed that Zha Xiaoxin was using the last time to interview a young white actor, and this person was Tom Cruise, who was not yet famous, and he didn't know if it was the convention of "foreign monks chanting scriptures" was in play.

"Brother Tom", a cash cow in time and space, was cut off from Paramount by United States, and after a period of time, it was quite pleasant, and he was sent to the crew of the propaganda film "TopGun" - "Top Gun" cooperated by Tang Huan and the US military as the leading actor.

In addition, Tom Cruise also plays a more important supporting role in "Phantom of the Tomb: Eight Formations" - Tom, a member of the American expedition and a mathematician.

"Originally, this person in time and space was a right and wrong spirit, why don't you spend some energy transforming it?" Tang Huan glanced at Tom Cruise, and the thought turned to his heart.

"DreamWorks is really good at making money, and the level of development around the movie can be compared to the United States." After Cheng Long grabbed a souvenir regardless of his identity as a "big brother", he returned to his seat with a smile, "The game adapted from "Phantom of the Tomb: Wrath of the Dragon Emperor" produced by Xiaobawang Game Console is very fun, the five elements are mutually reinforcing, and the degree of artificial intelligence is very brain-burning. ”

"Playing video games can also cultivate one's self-cultivation, which is not bad." Tang Huan joked with a smile.

Cheng Long held up the gossip puzzle toy and shook it, "I guess the new game will absorb this idea." ”

"That's nature, many things are one, and together they can play the effect that one plus one is greater than two." Tang Huan nodded in affirmation.

……

Soon, the interactive part of the premiere ended, and after the host briefly summarized a few words, the lights dimmed, and "Phantom of the Tomb: Eight Arrays" officially began to be released publicly.

The equipment of the flagship store of Shin Kong Cinema is the most advanced in the world, so the audio-visual effects of "Phantom of the Tomb: Eight Arrays" are vividly displayed.

Like the previous "Phantom of the Tomb: Wrath of the Dragon Emperor", "Phantom of the Tomb: Eight Arrays" begins with an ancient scene, accompanied by the magnificent background music "Dawn of the Hero", which tells the story of Zhuge Liang, a legendary figure in the Three Kingdoms period of China, from the three visits to the battle of Chibi to break Cao Cao's deeds.

Zhuge Liang in the movie is played by Leslie Cheung, who just interprets the image of the lupine scarf with both form and spirit.

This story line quickly advanced according to the clues of time until the alliance between Sun Quan and Liu Bei broke down, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in the Taoyuan Three Alliances were killed successively, and Liu Bei insisted on revenge against Eastern Wu, but was defeated by Lu Xun's burning company and battalion, and finally retreated to the White Emperor City under the response of Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong.

All the family funds that he had saved with great difficulty were lost, plus the death of the two righteous brothers, Liu Bei, who suffered a heavy blow, was directly crushed in his health, and as soon as he entered the White Emperor City, he was dying, and he immediately entrusted Zhuge Liang, who came in a hurry.

Dillon, who played the role of the emperor again, said from the bottom of his heart: "The gentleman is ten times more talented than Cao Pi, and he will be able to stabilize the country and finally decide on a big event." If the heir can be supplemented, it will be supplemented; If you are not talented, you can take it yourself. ”

Zhuge Liang wept and said: "The minister dares to do his best, be loyal to the festival of chastity, and then die!" ”

The monarch and the ministers looked at each other for a moment with tears, and Liu Bei died with the regret that the great cause had not been accomplished.

Here, the film uses a dramatic approach to show the contradictions in a concentrated way. Liu Bei died of anger here, and Lu Xun, the governor of Eastern Wu, personally commanded the army to chase after him violently, planning to take advantage of the fiasco of Xishu and the lack of major generals to carry out a war of annihilation.

But at the dangerous place of Yubeipu, the Eastern Wu army encountered the eight formations arranged by Zhuge Liang in advance, and suddenly the fog was thick and murderous, and everyone was not allowed to move forward half a step, and finally could only leave with fear and unwillingness.

The camera pulls up from the war-torn land, and the mountains and mountains are in full view; And the long river of time flows, and the movie takes the audience to 1700 years later, when the beast of war is still raging, but cold weapons have been replaced with modern firearms.

In the midst of the gunfire and the rumbling of artillery, the two warlords Liu Dashuai and Wu Dashuai were fighting fiercely. The former was defeated, and the two sides were entangled almost white-knuckle, and finally entered the eight-array map area in history.

Suddenly, the sky was full of fog, and it was difficult to see people's faces a few steps away, the soldiers could not find the generals, nor the generals could find the soldiers, and the radio communication was magically interrupted, and the contact with the outside world was lost.

In the chaos, the legend of the gossip map was not known to be mentioned first, and then it spread irrepressibly, and soon reached the ears of Wu Dashuai, who was about to win.

"Even if the gossip map is not a legend, it will not be a spell, at best it is just a strategy." Wu Dashuai coldly pulled out his pistol and ordered in a loud voice: "If anyone dares to disturb the morale of the army again, he will be shot immediately!" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was rolling thunder in the air, and heavy rain poured down, whether it was a big commander or a small soldier, they were suddenly drenched into soup chickens, and the kind of fire that wanted to put the other party to death was also extinguished, and the thick fog began to slowly dissipate.

"It turns out that the fog in the Eight Array Diagram is really born of murderous aura. Now that everyone has no will to fight, the fog has cleared, and the way out can be seen clearly. The exhausted soldiers immediately began to talk with joy and disregard.

Wu Dashuai calmly said nothing, picked up the binoculars and looked around, and soon found that his old opponent Liu Dashuai was retreating in panic from the other direction with the remnants of the defeated army......

Seeing that he couldn't catch up, Wu Dashuai snorted coldly, waved his hand, and ordered his subordinates to reorganize the army and withdraw from this place where the gods were chattering.

When he was about to leave the mountain pass, the adjutant pointed to a pile of strange stones and told Wu Dashuai that this might be a pivot of the Eight Formations.

After Wu Dashuai walked out of a distance with an expressionless face, he suddenly waved his hand and stopped the army, and then ordered to bring in artillery to bombard the pile of rocks he had just seen.

After the cannon sounded, the fog on the side of the mountain came out at a speed visible to the naked eye, and began to outflank Wu Dashuai's group.

Under the protection of the guards, Wu Dashuai also became a member of the panic escape. The adjutant who was accompanying him was panting and didn't forget to ask, "Dashuai, this time you believe in the Eight Formations, it's true." ”

As a result, he received a noncommittal order from his superiors, "When I go back, collect information about the Eight Formations for me." If I can have Zhuge Liang's set of skills, why not unify the world. ”

The same wishful thinking was also beaten by Liu Dashuai, who escaped, "If I have the ability of the Eight Array Diagram, then no one wants to snatch my territory, I can do whatever I want." ”

In this way, an operation around the exploration of the secrets of the Eight Formations began, driven by two warlords with different minds almost going hand in hand.

Wu Dashuai's actions were very fast, and he first used thunderous means to "invite" a descendant of the Zhuge family, Zhuge Qingyun, who taught ancient culture at Yenching University, and asked him to deduce the secret of the Eight Formations for himself.

Because Wu Dashuai's way of "inviting" Zhuge Qingyun was not very kind, the neurotic couple played by Mi Xue and Liu Songren was lured out and became Zhuge Qingyun's bodyguards.

Then, Wu Dashuai used a lot of money to network an advanced American expedition team to explore the Eight Formations area where his army had been trapped.

Among them, Tom Cruise plays Tom is the nephew of the American expedition leader, and because of his high mathematical talent, he also serves as an accountant.

For this reason, Tom did not set off with his uncle's expedition, but stayed with great interest to learn the principles of the I Ching and Bagua from Zhuge Qingyun.

Watching Zhuge Qingyun list the combinations of gossip with matches on the table, Tom said in surprise: "Legend has it that Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, one of the inventors of calculus, expounded binary in the manuscript "1 and 0, the Magical Origin of All Numbers", which was inspired by the Chinese "Zhou Yi" and Bagua, and it seems that it really makes sense. ”

"Bagua is the Chinese version of binary. The 'yin' and 'yang' in Bagua represent the '0' and '1' of binary, respectively. Professor Zhuge Qingyun replied proudly, "If binary is the most perfect logical language with universal nature, then the gossip in the Book of Changes can represent the dynamic and static state of all natural phenomena." ”

"However, numbers can be calculated, multiplied and divided, can gossip?" Tom asked curiously.

"Didn't you see the so-called 'finger pinching' of those swindlers in the stalls outside?" Zhuge Qingyun stretched out his hand as he spoke, "The real meaning of this is the operation of Bagua, but its rules are not simply addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, but more advanced and generalized principles, just like the formulas used when merging polynomials in Western algebra." ”

With the movement of Zhuge Qingyun's fingers, a stunt virtual image appeared in the lens - thousands of gears composed of gossip were instantly transmitted and meshed, and countless pieces of information were processed in the rapid rotation like star clusters......

Zhuge Qingyun put away his hand sweating profusely, then smoothed the fire on the table, shook his head very tiredly and said, "This combination is not right. ”

"Professor, why are you so tired all of a sudden?" Tom, puzzled, hurriedly handed over a glass of water.

"Can a horse pull a train with the same effect as a steam engine? The intensity of the calculation in a short period of time just now is very brain-consuming, and my ancestor Zhuge Liang did his best when he was only fifty-four years old, and it has nothing to do with this kind of hard work. Zhuge Qingyun sighed and looked at the two nervous heroes hiding in the distance, "They have strong martial arts, outstanding physical fitness, and are very good engines, but they can be qualified for this kind of high-intensity work." ”

As soon as she heard this, Mi Xue hurriedly waved her hand and excused herself, "Mr. Zhuge don't embarrass me, I'd rather be a female celebrity than do this kind of arithmetic." ”

Liu Songren also nodded in agreement, "Yes, compared to doing this kind of arithmetic, I would rather be a female celebrity." ”

Tom took the opportunity to recommend himself, "Professor, let me help you, maybe I can come up with an idea to invent a computer machine based on the binary principle to help." ”

While they were deducing the Eight Formations, the American expedition and the Japanese expedition hired by Liu Dashuai met in that valley and fought for the specially patterned stone slabs from several hubs, and finally returned to their base camp with half of each.

The incomplete patterns of the incomplete stone slabs spliced together naturally cannot give effective information, and even Liu Dashuai takes it for granted that people always look forward to enjoying the glory and wealth of their lives after they die, Zhuge Liang can not be an exception, all the secrets should be found in his tomb.

Zhuge Qingyun was very angry about the attempts of these careerists to disturb their ancestors, "The ancestors once explained in the chapter that they have no extra property, and the family property is 800 mulberry trees and 15 hectares of land, even if the son is self-sufficient; Even before he died, he was instructed to dig only one hole when he was buried, and the coffin could be placed in it, and there was no need for other funeral goods, and he could wear his usual clothes. In this case, how could it be possible to hide the secret of the Eight Array Diagram. ”

However, Wu Dashuai's attitude is not much better than Liu Dashuai, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the two of them as the same dog.

In the end, the Neuro Couple duo decided to go to Liu Dashuai to steal the other half of the slate, but they succeeded in returning under the other party's ulterior motives to "release water".

When all the stone tablets are put together, an encrypted message is spelled out, which needs to be decrypted according to the rules of gossip.

Tom, who is very talented in mathematics, has already mastered it, and has helped a lot on the sidelines, and even has the leisure to show how he came up with a computer machine based on binary and gossip principles to help with those repetitive and boring tasks. (To be continued.) )
