The sea on the screen can also be so vast, vast and far-reaching.
With the ebb and flow of the tide, Hu Yifei's down-and-out figure was blown to the beach. The camera zooms out to the high-rise buildings rising on the desolate sand dunes on the seashore, and when the waves roll, they "crackle" and collapse.
In one of the few IMAX theaters in North America, audiences who saw the IMAX scene for the first time couldn't help but sigh "wow". Unexpectedly, only a few seconds after the opening, I experienced the bizarre dream world of "Inception".
"Is this an IMAX special effects production, it's really shocking!"
Even James Cameron was a little surprised, he just recommended Hu Yifei to use IMAX at the beginning, and didn't think much about it. I didn't expect Hu Yifei to do it so extremely. This kind of clarity, the sense of déjà vu that comes to the face, is sure to form a trend.
But he's even more looking forward to how the audience will feel when his 3D movie is released?
Hu Yifei was then escorted by security personnel into a palatial Chinese-style palace in the sky.
The decoration color of the entire palace is extremely exquisite, and even every lighting decoration is carefully selected before it is determined, no matter from the background color, lighting selection, and the camera angle is carefully discussed. These are even more delicate in the IMAX picture.
Cameron nodded slightly in the cinema, "The opening picture is good, the art color is also great, and the IMAX high-definition photography technology is used perfectly." Unconsciously, the audience found that they couldn't take their eyes off it, just because of the open visual enjoyment!
At the beginning, a suspense was set, and Liu De, who was in the state of an old man, held the most important prop in the whole story, the spinning top, and slowly involved an unbelievable experience, "Are you here to kill me?" ”
Then the story flashbacks, and the plot unfolds slowly, Liu Dehao instantly changed from an elderly form to a middle-aged domineering rich man under the transformation of the picture, and his makeup skills are amazing.
Hu Yifei and Joseph's team showed their inception skills for the first time, "That kind of parasite has the strongest vitality?" Bacteria? Virus? Roundworm? It's the idea! Strong vitality and highly contagious. Once the brain is occupied by a thought, it is almost impossible to erase it. ”
The plot progresses slowly, and it seems a little incomprehensible at first.
At the premiere scene, in fact, many film critics were still confused, obviously things were falling from the ceiling, even the roof tiles were falling off, and the entire building seemed to be rooted in the center of the earthquake, but the people living in it were unaware?
…… Dreams?
The appearance of Charlize Theron's character is even more puzzled and confused.
Every time the plot progresses, some unexpected plot clips come in.
When the protagonist Cobb played by Hu Yifei woke up for the first time, the water filled the golden mountain, the monstrous sea flooded the entire luxury city, and the scene of the skyscraper appeared, the audience was stunned: it turned out that this was just a performance in a dream.
Outside the dream, someone was pushed into the bathtub, and such a terrible flood broke out in the dream. The audience outside the screen couldn't help but be stunned, "This dream...... It's cool. ”
This well-crafted special effect, even if it is put on for ten years, it is the most top-notch and most realistic existence!
Cameron couldn't help but praise secretly at the moment, this special effects shot was done vividly, and the grand atmosphere was very large. But he attaches more importance to it: Hu Yifei, the young man, tells the story eloquently, and he doesn't see the young man's anxious situation at all.
The plot narration of the story, the storyboard composition is really impeccable, the composition of the picture, the focus of the shot, and the connection of the editing all make people thumbs up, intense and tense without dazzling. The details are rich and natural, with aura and rigor, just after reading this paragraph, he feels that he doesn't need to worry about the cinematography and picture of this movie, at least it is a movie that can be enjoyed.
And immediately afterwards, when the tycoon played by Liu Dehao was forced to confess and fell to the floor, the audience once again burst open. It turned out to be still in a dream, a dream within a dream.
"This young man can really imagine."
The film progresses, and many film critics are slightly embarrassed that they didn't guess the plot just now, "This can't be another dream, so how to let the audience distinguish whether it is in a dream or in reality?" ”
There are already smart people who have come up with this layer of concepts.
The special effects of the film seem grand, but in fact, what is even more grand is the story structure of the whole movie, and Hu Yifei quickly used the lens to show how to distinguish between reality and dreams. A spinning top, a loaded pistol, the gyro keeps spinning and gives itself a shot to wake up. When the top stops, it returns to reality.
Sitting in a theater in Chicago, Roger Albert, the most famous film critic in the United States, certainly does not focus on special effects, although he is not a staunch anti-special effects and big investor, but as a "discerning" film critic, the focus must be on other aspects.
For example, why do Cobb's children always show their faces, and what is the relationship between him and his wife? Another example...... The structure and narrative of the film.
The business theft plan fails, and the tycoon played by Liu Dehao comes to the door and gives them another project. But Cobb refused, and when he was leaving, Liu Dehao suddenly gave him a condition that could not be refused: "Hey, Cobb, don't you want to go home, back to China, back to your children?" ”
Cobb paused, "That's not something you can do, no one can do it." ”
"It's like an implant? …… The owner of my main competitor, a dying old man, whose son will soon inherit that company, and I hope he will break up his father's company. ”
The helicopter was buzzing overhead, and Joseph shouted worriedly, "Cobb, let's not wade into this muddy water." ”
"Wait a minute...... after all, the temptation to go home overpowered, Cobb walked back, and said, "If I want to do something for you, if you have the ability to let me go home, I need a guarantee, why should I trust you to do it?" ”
"You don't have to know, but I have the ability. So, are you willing to give it a go? I still have to wait until I am old, and my heart is full of regret and remorse... Lonely towards Huangquan Road? The scene in the helicopter at the top of the skyscraper, overlooking the high-rise buildings on all sides, seems to set off an incomparable domineering spirit of the king, and said: "Gather your people, Mr. Cobb." Next time you choose your players, be more cautious. ”
No one knew that the words that the tycoon said to Liu Dehao at this time had already laid the foreshadowing at the beginning of the film.
With a suffocating pacing that pushes even a little distraction, you risk missing a key story thread.
The film has only been shown for 20 minutes, and before you know it, audiences in 3,800 theaters across the United States have been brought into the rhythm of the story by Hu Yifei. Driven by the tense soundtrack, the rhythm progresses consistently and quickly, and people can't take their eyes off it for a moment. (To be continued.) )
