The great surprise of the existence of Chinese and Western cultures determines that it is very difficult for Westerners to understand "Myth", even Wang Xiaohu himself is opportunistic and exploits a loophole, before "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was not released in Hollywood, he took the lead in using the mode of exploration and treasure hunting to tell the Yankees what the story of "Myth" is. 【】

So in addition to the discovery of the terracotta warriors and horses cultural relics that made Americans confused at the beginning of the film, the next step is the storytelling stage of Wang Xiaohu using his own methods.

Now the stage is a group of farmers discovered the ruins of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang, and then attracted a large number of historians, archaeologists, and famous overseas Qin and Han experts, Professor Gu, to bring his Hong Kong students to China, when his student Tiger saw those sculptures half-hidden in the loess, some wonderful pictures suddenly flashed in his mind.

The large screen took about ten minutes to unfold the image in Tiger's mind to the American audience: the princess's escort from the endless desert, a long procession from far and near against a barren yellow background.

On the other hand, the Qin Dynasty general Meng Yi led the Qin Dynasty's army to welcome relatives, riding horses and galloping on the Loess Plateau, and the spectacular scene of sand and dust everywhere.

The dignified black, the eye-catching yellow, the color alone shows the sadness of the desert and Qin Xiao's generosity.

It just so happened that at this time, the word "myth" in red jumped into the eyes of American audiences in a vague but patchwork layer.

In fact, people in any country in the world have a sense of curiosity about unfamiliar things, and if you want to keep them curious, it will test the wisdom of the guide.

In the picture just now, Wang Xiaohu uses the same scene transformation and parallel montage editing techniques, one modern and one ancient, so that when the Yankees see strange things, they let them find something familiar.

"Western cowboys?"

This is what many American viewers in the big Chinese theaters think after seeing and playing this picture, yes, after five minutes that were inexplicable to them, now they see the picture on the screen has an inexplicable sense of familiarity, this kind of scene reminds them of the famous western cowboy, how kind!

A "mythical" era belonging to Chinese-language films began.

After successfully grasping the attention of the Yankees, "Mythology" continued to play tepidly, not eating the fireworks of the world, when Zhao Yazhi, dressed in costume, appeared on the big screen, Wang Xiaohu could clearly hear the discussion in the theater.

Obviously, foreigners who have seen too many blonde and blue-eyed beauties also have a considerable potential psychology of curiosity, which makes Wang Xiaohu a little unpleasant, it is foreseeable that when the premiere of "Myth" is over, his wife will become the idol of many American men, this is a very complex and selfish psychology, as long as Wang Xiaohu is still a man, he has this kind of strange psychology.

None of this matters at the moment, but now the audiences in the theater are beginning to be thoroughly interested in "Mythology".

They believe that the film will be a love story between a knight and a princess, as told in the TV trailer, who have spanned two thousand years in search of the true meaning of love.

"Tiger, your new movie is good, the general you play in the film is very interesting." Abdul-Jabbar was full of praise for Wang Xiaohu's performance in the film, "Angel is also great, that costume is so appropriate for her." ”

Wang Xiaohu rolled his eyes speechlessly, and said in his heart that it was appropriate wool, Ah Zhi is the most beautiful when he wears white, stupid and big, and he will retract his words when you see the end.

The two talked quietly here, and the plot of the ancient part of the screen was played to the place where the civil officials of the Qin Dynasty presented Qin Shi Huang's promotion to the princess, and the next thing that was staged was the first batch of archaeologists to enter the tomb of Qin Shi Huang to explore, but they did not come back for three days, and the leaders prepared the second group of people to enter after consultation.

At this time, there was a stirring in the theater, which was naturally the sighs of the American audience, who were watching it well, and they also wanted to see how the knight and the princess staged the elopement scene, and how they inexplicably turned to the archaeology of a group of people.

"What does that mean?" Boxing champion Ali frowned and said, "Tiger, your storytelling method is a bit confusing!" ”

Wang Xiaohu smiled and said: "The interesting place has just begun, bear the surname, it won't take you two minutes to understand, and there will be many more such scenes in the future." ”

Champion Ali opened his mouth, Jabbar shrugged, and the audience behind him was still talking, and the situation looked a little off.

A "whoosh" sounded in the theater, followed by a dense "whoosh" sound, and the piercing and sharp sound of breaking the air was rendered by high-quality sound, allowing the audience who had been talking a lot just now to focus their attention on the screen again.

When their eyes followed the flashlights and torches on the screen to see the source of the sound, they all closed their mouths in surprise.

Under the light of the flashlight in the hand of the protagonist Tiger, the audience saw bows and arrows densely inserted on the walls and on the ground.

"What is this, Qin Shi Huang's anti-theft mechanism?" A young member of the archaeological team was shocked and excited, he took a step forward, and said as he walked: "I can't believe that two thousand years have passed, and these mechanisms have not been corrupted, it is amazing"

"Don't move!" Professor Gu, played by Yuan Hua, suddenly said loudly, but his reminder was too late, the archaeological team member had already taken five or six steps, and before he finished praising him, he touched the mechanism under his feet, and another rain of arrows came, and the team member became a hedgehog in an instant.

"Ahh Many viewers were taken aback by this image because it happened so suddenly, and they watched as a living person was shot into a hedgehog in an instant!

"God, terrible lethality, is this the mysterious weapon of the ancient kingdom of the East?"

No one could answer the audience's words, because they knew far less about China than they did about ancient Greece and Rome.

But Professor Gu on the screen could answer him, Professor Gu carefully picked up a broken arrow from the ground, and pointed at the eerie and terrifying three-edged arrow that glowed with a faint green light under the light and was excited, "Masterpiece, perfect masterpiece, this is the world's earliest bullet shape design, I can't imagine that the Qin Dynasty army two thousand years ago used this kind of streamlined arrow that is close to perfect, no wonder the Qin Dynasty crossbow and the world." ”

Professor Gu on the screen was inexplicably excited, while the audience in the theater was muttering.

A white teacher frowned and muttered, "Is this true?" The ancient Chinese had such wisdom that it seems that they should go back and study Chinese history more. ”

"What a joke, if the Chinese had invented this weapon two thousand years ago, the whole world would have been unified by them long ago!"

The confusion of the American audience did not last two minutes, and as Wang Xiaohu had expected earlier, Tiger in the camera immediately fell into deep thought when he saw the arrow, he shook his head vigorously, leaned on the wall with his hands, and sat on the ground covered in sweat.

The kind of picture that made the audience look forward to it is here again!

A sharp arrow pierced the chest of the Fanbang official who was about to receive the holy decree, and then a group of Xiongnu soldiers on war horses emerged from the Gobi, and the Xiongnu leader held a longbow and shot the official, and it was he who prevented the two countries from making peace with each other.

Seeing this, General Meng Yi, who was riding on a war horse, drew his long sword and shouted, "Protect the princess!" ”

Under a shout, the Qin Dynasty soldiers behind him surrounded the princess's escort team in the middle as fast as possible, and the soldiers in the front row set up a rectangular shield one person high, blocking the fierce bows and arrows of the Hun soldiers on the periphery.

After the first round of bows and arrows of the Xiongnu was completed, Meng Yi ordered: "Qin crossbowmen prepare!" ”

The sound of neat and heavy footsteps in the theater was so appealing to the audience that the overall powerful sound alone could imagine that the team had considerable combat effectiveness.

The three rows of Qin crossbowmen who appeared on the screen really lived up to the expectations of the American audience, and under their neat movements, rows of arrows flew in the air, giving people a very real feeling in terms of range, power and density of arrow arrays.

Especially when the overwhelming rain of arrows flew in the direction of the screen, many timid viewers were frightened and hid behind their chairs, and even many people closed their eyes and were "waiting for death"!

The clear picture, the whistling sound of the rain of arrows flying in the air, like a hurricane, made 80% of the Yankees in the Chinese theater feel like they were in the scene, with nowhere to hide, that sense of oppression, that sense of reality on the line of life and death, made them obvious!

"Hell! I even took the movie as real! A white man came out from under the chair, and he vented his frustration with his thoughts, and the scene just now scared him to death, so that he instinctively reacted to burrow under the chair to avoid the arrows.

A palpitating audience member patted his chest and whispered, "I'm scared to death, I thought I was going to see God!" ”

"This is definitely not God's troops, this is the forces of Satan the Devil! He made me smell death clearly! ”

Obviously, they did not complain that Wang Xiaohu had played tricks on them because of this, but respected him from the bottom of their hearts, because he frightened them and successfully made them feel the powerful lethality brought by this rain of arrows.

In fact, just as they imagined, the lethality of this kind of Qin crossbow fired with feet was very terrifying, and the Hun cavalry, who was still arrogant just now, was instantly shot into a hedgehog by the first arrow rain, and the large-scale casualty scene made the Americans tremble.

The attack intensity of the Qin crossbow was maintained at a certain level from beginning to end, and at the beginning, from the launch place of the Qin army, it should be a thundershower, and after shooting one round, another round was fired, but later, from the perspective of the Hun cavalry who were killed and wounded, it was basically a heavy rain without interruption......

As a result, a large number of Hun cavalry were shot into arrow stacks, and the arrow array penetrated the chests of the Huns, penetrated their horses, and the battlefield within the reach of arrows was full of shocking arrows, which was amazing, as if this was not a war, but an art.

"Hey, Tiger, the scene just now is so exciting! My heart is still pounding! "Boxing champion Ali sits in the front row of the theater, so the visual impact is far stronger than that of the audience at the back.

Wang Xiaohu raised his eyebrows, although it was dark in the theater, he could clearly feel his success from the tone of the boxing king.

This is the realistic picture after the special effects synthesis, from here you can also see that Lucas, Grant and other industrial light and magic people did not waste time, they spent nearly half a year to process these war scenes with special effects, although it was very complicated and boring to make at the time, but seeing these frightened audiences, Lucas and others smiled with relief.

"It's worth it!" Grant. McQueen vs. George. Lucas said: "It's hard to imagine that the use of special effects in war scenes can be so amazing!" ”

Lucas sighed and said: "No, in fact, our special effects are just icing on the cake, to have such a realistic and realistic effect, it all depends on the boss's shooting techniques, I still haven't figured out what means the boss used to make these hundreds of arrows fly so neatly, it's a miracle." ”

"In fact, it's a miracle." Wang Xiaohu recalled that when he shot this scene, he explained to Lucas with a mysterious smile on his face.

But Lucas, he doesn't think so, at this time he regrets it very much, he should put down the special effects work in his hands, go to Chinese mainland with his boss to really feel the shooting experience, missed such a wonderful learning opportunity, you must know that the shooting methods of Hong Kong people are very mysterious in the eyes of this film special effects master, they can always turn decay into magic, just like this kind of arrow array shooting, let Lucas ponder, he tried to use computer special effects to restore, but found that this is an impossible task.

Lucas frowned and thought here, but the audience in the theater was very nervous, because by this time the movie had already played the plot they were interested in, and the brave knight with the beautiful and stunning princess began to retreat under the protection of the generals, and they finally began the journey of "elopement" according to the plot that the audience had expected earlier.

However, then they began a new round of "scolding", and the hateful oriental director actually cut off the camera at the critical moment of this "romantic journey", and the screen is now showing the expedition of the archaeological team again.

"Oh God! I'm about to be tortured to death, do you want to watch the Oriental version of the knight elope with the princess so hard? ”

The audience was depressed and wanted to smash the theater, because Wang Xiaohu whetted their appetite-
