Section 316 One scale and half a claw
When the trailer began to spread in Hollywood, the whole of Hollywood, for a moment, was talking about the film.
Although the trailer of the movie is claimed to be leaked accidentally, it has spread throughout Hollywood within a few days, and this result also makes people feel like a mysterious company deliberately leaked it, taking advantage of the active media to promote its own movie. And the media did not disappoint them. There is also a strong discussion interest in the trailer of this movie.
Although this trailer is short, it has already reflected a lot of things. After watching this trailer, people can also draw a lot of conclusions from it.
First of all, it is the technical strength shown in this trailer. Those speeches seem to be very simple, but in the course of these speeches, the sound effects are very well made, and these words make people hear a very rare sense of emptiness and heaviness - these voices are very charming, such a voice, people feel very surprised.
These voices are obviously not the original voices of the characters, although these actors are indeed very good actors, and they are indeed their original voices, but anyone who has ever made a movie knows that when recording sounds, it is impossible to record the empty feeling of sound. This kind of sound, which expresses the sense of distance in motion, must be produced by post-production sound engineers through simulation, digital modification, and then made into sound clips, and finally formed into sound effects.
This kind of sound effect, when combined with cinematic shots, needs to be firmly fixed to each shot point. When to approach and fade out requires a lot of experience to grasp. Generally speaking, even if such a technique is used in movies, it is more used in some song and dance films, for those with strong rhythms. It only makes sense to be so close to the details, and this time, Levy is shooting a sci-fi film, but with the mastery of sound like a song and dance film, which is really amazing.
This kind of control appears in the movie, so Levy has really put enough effort into this movie. Whether a movie is good or not can be seen from the details in many cases. Although some commercial films spend a lot of money and the fights are also cool, they are not excellent enough in terms of detailed architecture. Comparatively. The fact that this film is so serious about sound effects can also be seen in the film's investment.
Perhaps, this will be a great movie? The media is also skeptical at this time. The Lord of the Rings 3 won the Oscar, which makes people no longer think that science fiction movies will definitely not win the Oscar, and judging from the movie trends in the past two years, it is not a bad thing for commercial films to win awards.
Anyway, it's much better than this year's gay theme boom – this year's Oscars don't have Levy. But the most popular is the Brokeback Mountain. Other movies are either not good or poorly shot. Even the best crash is not recognized because it is structurally close to the three-body 1, and it looks like Ang Lee is going to be a big success this year.
Commercial films win awards, it's better than themes like homosexuality, right?
And in addition to seeing the seriousness of Levy's film from the sound. And then there is the picture.
Levy has previously said that his film will be made into a 3D version of the movie. And the characteristics of 3D movies are well known to people that such films. It was shot with two cameras, and although the 3D version was very beautiful when it was projected, the 2D movie was a bit blurry and a major problem. However, Levy's films don't seem to have this problem. Although this trailer is only a 2D version, it looks very clear, even better than the average small-budget movie.
Naturally, this could not have been due to a breakthrough in Levy's filmmaking technology - if there was such a technique, no one would have known. As a result, it is more likely that Levy made a 2D version at the same time as the 3D version, and what people saw was a 2D version of the movie footage.
This news still gives people a lot of comfort: although 3D movies are said to be very good, there are still too few screens that can play such movies. With only 2% of the movie screen, it is impossible to create a box office miracle no matter how you say it, and if you want to get a truly amazing box office, 2D is still the top priority. Levy didn't ignore this question, his films already pay attention to the 2D version, but I don't know how different his film will be in the production of the 3D version and the 2D version. If there really is a 2D version, then will people still want to watch the 3D version?
This question is also a little surprising to people.
Among this year's movies, the highest-grossing one should be the X-Men 3. The film unexpectedly got more than one billion box office, and it also won a lot in word-of-mouth. However, such a movie is still in 2D. Levy's film is going to be shot in 3D, so will his film surpass this one at the box office and reach new heights? It's also fascinating.
And then there is the problem, of course, it is the problem of special effects.
In this trailer, there are not too many special effects. Aside from Mercury's nuclear base, the Space Research Institute, and the approaching alien spacecraft, there is basically nothing else in this trailer. However, even these simple pictures have made people discuss for a long time.
Over the years, there have been a lot of science fiction films, and people have seen all kinds of cosmic pictures, but the production of various cosmic pictures has never been particularly satisfying. After all, the picture of the movie is limited by technology, and without enough technology, you can't make a good enough picture. And Levy's film seems to have made a new breakthrough in the picture. Compared with the previous space pictures, the weightless production this time seems to be even better.
Moreover, those buildings in the universe, those spaceships in space, the spacesuits of the astronauts in the universe - some of these things exist in reality, some do not, and whether they exist or not, in the movie, their appearance looks very close to reality. Compared to some science fiction movies, those curious spaceships, things in this movie. It is very much in line with the scientific development of mankind.
In the first part of the Three-Body Problem, there have been alien buildings, and the style is very different from the style on Earth. However, the environment of the Trisolaran is given in that it is responsible for the characteristics of their buildings. And in the second part, the focus is back on the earth, and it seems that the science and technology of people have also returned to the earth?
Does all this say that there are new production techniques for Levy's films? Is the technology of the film realistically derived? Those things. Will it really appear in the future? This is also something that has been discussed with great enthusiasm.
Levy's films are real blockbusters, and such films will have a great impact on movies in every way. Such a huge impact is something that people are all very concerned about, which also makes all the news about this movie pay attention to it.
In addition to these, in terms of plot, people also have some ideas.
The approach of the four wall-facing people in the plot seems to be very good. But if you think about it carefully, you will feel the problem here: since they said that they were going to deceive the aliens by deceiving all mankind, then what they said. How much is it true? What kind of trap is hidden behind the words of these people?
Looking at the structure of this story, it is very likely that these four people will talk about their plans on the movie. Prepare your own course of action. And Levy's movie is not so much about letting them deceive the earth and the Trisolara, but about letting them deceive all audiences. So. What kind of puzzles are set up in the movie, and can you really ensure that the audience will never see it?
Moreover, it seems that the people of the Earth Three-Body Organization are still active in the second part. That sentence that the Lord doesn't care also makes people have a lot of interest: the huge difference in science and technology is the biggest problem between earthlings and aliens, and earthlings want to win by resourcefulness, but in the face of the absolute power gap, how much can the role of resourcefulness be a question. The way to fight aliens like Independence Day is very enjoyable to watch, but it is not very rigorous after all. So, what will Levy's movie rely on to erase the huge difference with aliens and achieve the victory of mankind?
And all this, it seems, is to focus on Robert Downey Jr.
The media are not stupid, they know very well that the identity of the former US Secretary of Defense has already decided that Taylor is 100% cannon fodder, and Rumsfeld's black pot also needs someone to carry it in the movie.
The Latin national revolutionaries, on the other hand, are also very likely to be cannon fodder. It's just that, compared with the status of the Minister of Defense, the identity of a revolutionary can be recognized by some people, and his personal charm seems to be higher.
As for the British scientist, such an identity makes people suspect that he is either a supporting role, or a hand for the protagonist. Sherlock Holmes needs a Watson, Batman needs a Robin, and the protagonist always needs someone to do it. Scientists, British, married, and deeply in love with their Asian wives - such people are simply natural supporting characters.
And these speculations also made people's eyes all aimed at Donnie. It seems that Downey will be the only protagonist of this movie. However, the only thing that is not mentioned in this trailer is what Downey's vision looks like. What will he do when it comes to defending the planet?
This damn trailer doesn't say anything at all. Obviously, Levy's films are still hanging on to people's appetites and keep them from seeing the whole picture.
Moreover, what makes people even more resentful is that in the first part, those aliens who have not revealed their true forms still do not appear in the trailer in the second part. What do aliens really look like? This question is also entangled with many people.
But everyone knows that Levy will definitely not answer these questions so quickly.
"It seems that all we can do now is to look forward to the release of this movie as soon as possible." In this regard, the media can only express such feelings, "Judging from the existing scales and half claws, this movie is definitely worth looking forward to." We can't wait for its release! (To be continued......)
