Chapter 63: Guarantee of Success
In order to make it easier to go on stage to thank you, Bruce Willis also sat in the front row of the audience.
He watched the film several times, all in the home theater of Caesar's house, and it was indeed the first time to watch it on such a large screen.
Looking at himself on the screen, Willis felt a little dizzy.
Great-cool! So handsome! Handsome guys and beauties are somewhat narcissistic, and Willis is the same, but he never imagined that he could be so handsome.
Is the handsome guy on the screen who exudes male hormones really himself? Willis was directly drunk, and the guide zhì teasing attribute exploded.
The main character, Marx, follows the ventilation duct to the hallway, and soon encounters a patrolling bandit with a gun.
The change of Marx's character has finally ushered in a huge difference from the original.
The original version had a long-term hand-to-hand combat scene, and in the end, both of them rolled down the building and fell to each other's deaths.
In Caesar's case, it was Marx who appeared silently from the rear and upper ventilation ducts of the enemy, sneaked up from behind, and killed him with a single blow by twisting his neck.
Marx then searched his body and found an MP5 submachine gun, two magazines, flashbangs, a walkie-talkie, a lighter, and a cigarette. In the end, they picked each other's shoes in the audience's expectation.
Knowing that many viewers' attention is on the protagonist's bare feet, Caesar is still like the original director, and only goes to put on shoes at the end, which is simply forcing obsessive-compulsive disorder to death.
Soon the audience heard the classic line:
"There are more than 8 million terrorists in this world, but I killed one who is smaller than my sister's feet."
The audience laughed directly, and many people in the industry were surprised to find that Willis had a talent for comedy.
The same sentence does not make people laugh when they say it.
Temperament, expression, intonation, tone of voice, and the coordination of body movements, this qiē plus lines can be combined to create a joke.
In life, we often see some people who laugh first after saying two and a half sentences of a joke. There are always people who have a natural talent for telling jokes into tragic stories.
Marx finally gave up on wearing small shoes and carefully hid the corpse. After escaping this floor, choose to call the police first.
Marx communicated with the policewoman for a long time, and although he reported the address, he was interrupted by the bandits.
A three-person team, because the previous Smallfoot bandit had lost contact, happened to see Marx on the phone during the search.
Marx didn't have time to pick up the submachine gun on the table, so he habitually pulled out two guns directly, without any nonsense, and the two sides directly raised their guns to shoot at each other.
The shootout movie in Caesar's mind never needs to talk nonsense, unless hostages are taken, there is no need to raise a gun to confront each other at all.
This is not the police catching the thief, both sides are holding guns to look at each other, and the other party is pointing at you, which policeman dares to shout first? Whoever crosses the line will shoot first.
Now that both sides are horizontal, it creates a silent shooting scene that the audience sees.
1911 approached the caliber of 12 millimeters, with a burst of two guns at a distance of more than a dozen meters.
The bandits at the front bore the brunt, three bullets were fired in the chest in succession, and the whole person was repelled two meters away before falling to the ground.
In "Dirty Harry", Eastwood is holding a .44 caliber Magnum revolver, and it is an exaggeration to be able to send a person five or six meters away with a single shot, even if it is a high-powered Magnum bullet.
After a round of fire, the audience then slows down for the first time in the film, observing in detail how 1911 hangs up, how the magazine is changed, how it is loaded, how it fires ammunition, and how the cartridge casings are bounced.
Insiders in the film and television industry were already stupid, they never imagined that the shots of firearms in operation presented from all angles, through guò close-ups and slow motion, would be so pleasing to the eye.
Many old fans who know movies also wonder.
"Why is the act of changing a magazine so fascinating to me? And the shot of pulling the trigger and the bullet casings smoking, is also so attractive......"
"How does this work? What is psychology? ”
After a fierce exchange of fire, Marx took out three bandits and attracted a large number of bandit reinforcements.
After a quick search for the supply of guns and ammunition, Marx looked at the shoes on the corpse of the bandit unwillingly in the sound of a large number of hurried runs, and gritted his back molars and evacuated the scene first.
There was another burst of laughter in the audience.
Caesar is prepared to take advantage of the protagonist's acceptance of the airplane neighbor's advice on relieving fatigue, causing barefoot foreshadowing against the enemy.
The fact that Marx was barefoot was also like a thorn in the hearts of the audience.
A policeman who was shopping in a supermarket was closest to the place of the crime, and after receiving a report from the command center, he reluctantly came to the skyscraper where the incident occurred.
The original version of the character was a black man, and Caesar changed to Chinese.
The driver of the limousine is already black, the police or the black? How could Caesar be willing.
Count carefully, the next seat on the plane is a Latin, although the protagonist is barefoot against the enemy, but the starting point is very kind.
The limousine driver is a black man with a broken mouth, but it is also a chaotic and kind setting.
This policeman with a story, as a positive character, and then a black person, then where to put the Chinese? Villain?
So, Caesar enabled Chinese Americans in the casting selection of this police officer.
Anyway, the rule that Caesar set for himself is that in the movies he directs, the Chinese must be positive characters, and there must be too few scenes.
The Chinese police officer, who took the police, went to the security office on the first floor of the building to inspect the circle, found nothing abnormal, and left in a huff.
It's a big holiday, there is no one on the street, where are the terrorists?
Marx killed a few of his pursuers, took the time to look down from the upper floor, and found that the Chinese police officer had been deceived by the bandits on the first floor.
Just as he exploded the head of a bandit at close range around the corner, the inspired Marx shot and smashed the window, throwing the body directly down dozens of floors and smashing it on the police car.
As soon as the Chinese police officer was about to get out of the car to check, the police car was strafed by the broken bandits, and they had to flee while reversing and calling for support.
Seeing that Marx had succeeded in calling for help, he was just about to find a pair of shoes to wear, but was interrupted by strafing fire from the supporting bandits.
I could only curse the street, turn around and run.
The audience is already laughing crazy, the protagonist's shoes are completely unwearable, and every time he wants to pick up the shoes of a dead man, he is interrupted in various ways.
As the plot progresses, Aoki is killed, and Marx begins to engage in an intellectual confrontation with the bandit leader Hanstone Guò on a walkie-talkie, and although a white male colleague who is courting Holly betrays the protagonist's name, Holly escapes for the time being because of the maiden name he used when he registered.
The sinister intentions of this are seen by the audience, this cheap male colleague betrayed the protagonist but did not betray He Li, just hoping that the protagonist would die, so he could take advantage of the situation.
The conversation between the two sides over the intercom was monitored by all sides, and soon the information of Hans and Marx was in the hands of the police and the media.
However, a super cheap male reporter finds the protagonist's home with the protagonist's name in order to catch the big news.
The plot soon entered the first gunfire stage, because Marx killed the younger brother of the gangster leader, and was chased and killed by the angry little boss with five or six people.
At this time, the FBI sent two brain-dead agents to accept the scene, and according to the tutorial of the anti-terrorism manual, they operated step by step to cut off the power supply of the building.
Under the moonlight, flashbangs, grenades, and gunfire erupted violently in the narrow corridors and office areas.
Then there is the "Dancer Under the Moon" time that shook the industry and forever recorded in film history.
In the office area, through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, a huge and unusually large moonlight hangs in the air, and everyone in the moonlight is just silhouettes.
Marx opened his arms in extremely slow motion, pressed the magazine buckle with both hands, and the two empty magazines fell freely with gravity, and at the same time stretched out his legs and kicked over the desk in front of him, and then the whole person turned around while stepping forward, and in the process of turning, the two hands held the guns back to the waist, and through the double row of ten magazine sleeves with the characteristics of the back waist, he directly "sitting" the grips of the two guns on the magazines facing the two sides of the ammunition supply port, and at the same time completing the turning action, it was also very magical to complete the action of changing the magazine synchronously.
Then Marx knelt on one knee in front of his desk, using the desk as a cover, his arms holding the gun stretched forward to the limit, and at the same time pressed the empty compartment hang-up handle of the two guns, and the moment the sleeve was reset, he opened fire violently.
The whole set of actions is done in one go, because the speed is super slow, which ensures that even though it is a silhouette effect, the audience can also see the details of each action.
Such a cool shot, accompanied by Emily's carefully crafted soundtrack for this set of shots......
Listen to the sound of gasps in the auditorium! Caesar closed his eyes contentedly and smiled.
In fact, turning around and reloading two guns at the same time was the signature move of Caesar's previous Max Payne series of games.
Before the start of filming, Caesar thought about it for a long time, and was reluctant to expose all the things inherited from Wu Baige in advance, but chose the signature of the "Max Payne" game.
However, in fact, the design of this action in the original game was also inspired by Wu Baige's movie.
Caesar's shot of "Dancers Under the Moon" deeply stimulated the nerves of industry insiders, not to mention the audience.
Most of the general audience are Caesar's music fans, comic fans, and gamer fans, how can these die-hard fans not praise Caesar's directorial debut?
Of course, they have faith in Caesar's work, and every time Caesar crosses over, it is a slap in the face to the doubter.
However, how could they have imagined that Caesar's work could be so cool.
For this set of shots, many viewers feel that their language is too lacking.
The kind of physiological reactions such as fried scalp, adrenaline hormone secretion, shortness of breath, and flushed face that are difficult to produce at the same time, or even never produced at the same time, all show the greatness of Caesar as a director.
Although Bea and Emily watched this segment many times at home, the excitement of watching it on the big screen and the audience together is indescribable.
They were so proud of Caesar.
The two couldn't help but kiss Caesar on the cheek at the same time, one left and one right, and said in unison: "Your debut work, it's a success!" ”
