Chapter 766: A Winter Night Is Coming
And when the colleagues in front of the TV were puzzled, the three night watchmen on the screen returned to the camp where the bodies were found just now, only to find that the bodies were gone, in a panicked search. [No pop-up novel network]
One of the rangers, Will, walked up to the blue-gray Shao soldier tree with the towering wallpaper and began to climb up.
Soon he disappeared into the boundless pine needles, his hands were stained with tree sap, and in the eerie atmosphere, fear was like an indigestible dinner, he just prayed to the unknown god of the forest, while drawing a dagger, biting it with his teeth, and climbing with his free hands, the cold weapon in his mouth made him feel a little more at ease.
Just as the audience was getting more and more nervous, they heard someone under the tree shouting, "Who's there?" ”
The people in front of the TV followed Will's line of sight and began to observe carefully, the leaves rustled, the cold stream pulsated, and Wu Fan heard the cry of the snow owl.
A white voice appeared silently, what is it? The audience in front of the television turned their heads to Will's gaze and saw a white shadow in the darkness, which then vanished.
A bird, perhaps? Maybe it's the reflection on the snow, or maybe it's the wrong sentence caused by the moonlight.
Whether it was Will on the screen, but the person sitting in front of the TV, listening to the howling cold wind, he suddenly felt an inexplicable cold, Will trembled and tightened the trunk, his cheek pressed against the bark of the Sentinel Tree, and the sticky and sweet sap flowed onto his face.
Suddenly~ a shadow emerged from the darkness of the woods, standing behind Roy, a night watchman.
In front of the TV, Edward, Lily, Neil, Allen, and everyone except fantasy fans gasped.
It was very tall, haggard and resolute like dry bones, its face was pale as milk, and its armor seemed to change color as it moved, sometimes white as fresh snow, sometimes black as a shadow, and everywhere it was dotted with the esoteric gray and green of the forest.
With each step, the pattern on the armor changed like moonlight on the water.
It was very quiet, gliding forward, with a long sword in its hand, which no one could describe as a weapon.
It was a translucent sword, made of nothing like human metal, more like a thin shard of crystal.
The blade of the sword and the moonlight shone against each other, and there was a faint and strange blue light around it, and somehow everyone felt that this sword was sharper than any razor.
The viewer follows Will's point of view into its eyes, a color that is deeper blue than any other's eye, burning as cold as ice......
The resurrection of the dead is an eternal theme in various fantasy and horror genres, but unlike those slow-moving zombies and undead, the creatures in front of them seem to be carved out of ice, and their movements are like ghosts, and their demeanor is like gods...... It gives an indescribable sense of fear of oppressive thinking.
Will wanted to scream, but the moment it raised its sword and pierced Roy's chest, Will's throat was completely blocked by boundless fear.
The screams echoed through the forest in the middle of the night, and Roy's usual cracks were scattered like a rain of needles, and Roy screamed and knelt down, reaching out to cover his eyes, blood running down between his fingers.
In the moment when the audience felt suffocated, the camera suddenly shifted to another night watchman screaming and running away.
In the camera, a series of split shots are used to be fierce and swift, allowing the viewer's perspective to follow the night watchman's hasty escape in the dark and cold woods, and the ghost of the terrifying white creature is also shuttling through the woods, giving people an irrepressible sense of horror.
Gu Xiaofan used a "black box" method to shoot a long series of chase scenes in complex terrain, using more than a dozen different camera positions, each camera selection is different, and the emotional feedback to be conveyed to the audience is also different.
This scene seems simple, but it is extremely difficult to design the rhythm of the storyboard, and it must require a strong ability to capture the audience's psychology.
And Gu Xiaofan did this, and he was very good.
It really proves that his directing skills can be freely used in Eastern and Western themes......
Whether it is Edward and Lily of News Corporation, Abel of Warner, Allen, or even Neil and others, they all have a very high evaluation of Gu Xiaofan, but they still didn't expect his directing skills to reach this point.
He may not be as good as a Hollywood A-list director like Nolan, but there is no doubt that he is more than capable of any level of film.
As long as you know a little bit about production, you will get the feeling of "this guy is amazing" from a few minutes of footage.
is different from the glamorous story that everyone expected, the opening scene of "Game of Thrones" makes people feel the cold and biting feeling in that world...... No one realized that in the past few minutes, Gu Xiaofan had set the strongest tone for this series - "Winter is coming".
And that white figure will not appear for a long time in the future, but for the audience, they will still linger in their minds, lingering, just like the night watchman stationed at the Great Wall......
And then, the whole screen went dark, and the opening of "Game of Thrones", which was talked about by countless people in the future, made fantasy fans all over North America watch it.
A huge star trail swirled around, and in the sound of music that was broad and majestic, but without losing a hint of beauty and sadness, the planetarium began to breathe amazement, like a model of Leonardo da Vinci.
The family of Barahion, whose family crest is a black crown buck on a gold background, is the capital of the current King on the Iron Throne - King's Landing;
One of the main cores of the whole story, the family with the gray ice wolf running on the snowy land as the family crest, the capital of the Stark family - Winterfell;
The Great Wall of Desperation, where the Night's Watch legion, which guards the borders of the entire kingdom without any representation and does not participate in any power disputes;
and the free trade city where the Targaryen family, with a three-headed fire dragon on a black background as their family crest, can now only live in the country......
And with the end of the passionate and tense music, the story of the stag, the ice wolf, the lion, and the fire dragon as the main trunk, as well as the power disputes and fierce battles of various forces and families, sounded the horn~
Allen, who was in the hospital, couldn't help but open his mouth wide when he looked at this extremely imaginative and delicate title, my god...... What is this Gu Xiaofan's brain that can come up with such a wonderful way.
"This guy is such a genius...... How the hell did he come up with it. Looking at the screen, I couldn't help but grit my teeth and say hatefully.
You must know that filming such a complex fantasy setting as "Game of Thrones" requires a large introduction to the geographical location of each force in order for the audience to figure out the world.
And every minute of time in the series is so precious, no one wants to waste time introducing such a large and confusing background.
You must know that just a dozen place names may make the audience dizzy.
But Gu Xiaofan planned such a genius idea, placing the huge map of Westeros in the opening credits, such a huge amount of information, quietly introducing the background information, and at the same time dedicating the most exquisite opening in the history of North American dramas
