Chapter 290: New Terminator Overture
It's a common morning in an average middle-class American family, with the husband shaving in the bathroom in the mirror while the wife urges her two daughters to clean up and go downstairs for breakfast. "The Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster "Terminator 4" has been attracting the attention of fans since the beginning of the year, and Warner Inc. and MGM Pictures announced the official start of filming yesterday. According to the producer, "Terminator 4" will continue the story line of the previous work, telling the brutal war between humans and robots in the future world. ”
"As we all know, in the previous film series of Terminators, around the main actor in the film, John . Connor, there has been a lot of debate in the media about 'Pseudo-Protagonist 7', in Terminator 3, because Lin played the role of John. Connor, who made this character begin to emerge in the Terminator series of films, and in "Terminator 4"
Zhonglin will become a well-deserved protagonist. ”
"It is worth noting that British actress Kate . Beckinsale will also continue to star in the film John Fernandes. Connor's girlfriend, this film will be her fifth collaboration with Lin Mingyang in Hollywood, accompanied by another speculation about the real relationship between the two. According to statistics, including Angelina Jolie, Megan. Several popular Hollywood actresses, including Fox, have collaborated with Lin Mingyang many times, and Lin was selected as the male movie star with the highest screen sex encounter index in the latest magazine of Entertainment Weekly. ”
In addition to the strong cast of protagonists, the supporting roles in the film are also amazing, and even California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has entered the political arena, recently announced that he will make a cameo appearance in the film Robot Seven to fulfill his promise of the classic line in the series of movies. It is reported that Schwarzenegger did not accept any salary for his cameo appearance, and his spokesman said in an interview with the media that Arnold does not have many roles in the film, and the free cameo appearance can be regarded as a reward for the enthusiastic support of fans over the years. All he could hear in the bathroom was the sound of a commotion, and the husband was holding a razor in his hand, but there was a thoughtful expression on his face, and it was obvious that the news just now aroused his great interest.
At this moment, his wife's voice sounded in the kitchen, suddenly interrupting his thoughts.
"Teucer, would you like to turn down the volume on the TV news? Martha, they can barely hear me from upstairs, do you want me to race against the TV with my throat at my fingertips? ”
He stumbled on a "hmm", grabbed the remote control he threw on the toilet lid, and pointed at the living room, the TV screen went black, and there was no sound for a while. **Pavilion**
"Daddy, why did you turn off the TV?" The youngest daughter, who had just turned six, appeared at the door of the bathroom wearing pink pajamas and holding a stuffed animal.
Teucer rubbed the hair on his youngest daughter's forehead, "Lisa, you should go change your clothes now, and then obediently go to breakfast!" ”
The youngest daughter replied weakly, "But my sister said she was listening to the news..." Teucer was stunned, and the mention of his eldest daughter, who was in the rebellious period of youth, gave him a headache, "There is still half an hour, and if she doesn't go to breakfast again, she should be late for school again!" ”
"Dad, I've never been late for school!" The eldest daughter, who was carrying a satchel and a piece of bread in her mouth, passed by the door of the bathroom and yelled at her father dissatisfied.
"Goodbye, sister!" The youngest daughter said goodbye to Martha obediently, and this well-behaved act caused her sister to squat down and kiss her on the face.
"You can sit and finish your breakfast before you go," Teucer saw at a glance that his daughter was about to go out.
"Then I should be really late!" Martha shrugged at her father and turned to leave.
"Martha!" Teucer stopped her from behind, "Because I'm so busy at work, it seems like our family hasn't been in a movie for a long time..."
"And then?" The daughter put her hands in her trouser pockets and looked at her father with a cool expression on her face.
"I grew up watching the Terminator movies when I was younger... I believe that because of Lin, you will also like this movie very much, so when this film is released, let's go to the premiere together! ”
"I'm fine!" Her father's offer to make such a request warmed Martha's heart, but her face did not show it.
"I'm going too!" The youngest daughter suddenly jumped out and looked at her father with a pouting mouth.
At this time, his wife Lily came over with a plate of pizza, "What are you discussing here?" ”
The youngest daughter immediately complained, "Dad is going to secretly take my sister to the movies!" ”
Martha glanced at her father with some sympathy, "As far as I know, none of the Terminator movies in the Terminator series are G-rated movies about children... The school bus is almost at the door, so I'll go first! ”
The wife, Lily, also looked at her husband, and seemed to agree with her eldest daughter's words. **Pavilion**
Teucer squatted down helplessly and looked at his little daughter with a serious face, "Lisa, you can't watch a movie like that now, wait until you grow up... So, Sunday Dad takes you to the amusement park? ”
Schwarzenegger's decision to make a cameo in the film was beyond the expectations of the media, and in addition to letting the producers know that they couldn't keep their mouths together, more fans were infected by Arnold's "dedicated" attitude, and for a time his public approval rating as governor of California rose by 3%, which was also an unexpected surprise for Schwarzenegger.
Schwarzenegger didn't have many scenes in the film, and he basically completed his shooting in less than 3 days. In order to give him special care, the crew advanced this scene that should have been filmed at the end. During this period, he and Lin Mingyang had a lot of rival scenes, and the two tacitly maintained an amazing "tacit understanding" in and out of the play, and director Barrus directly pretended not to know anything, all of which made Schwarzenegger feel at ease.
The first trailer of the film was released half a month after the start of filming, the length of the whole video is only 1 minute, the picture is fragmented, and it is impossible to speculate on the plot, but the classic theme of the "Terminator" series is already exciting when it sounds, and the concise and powerful title is a preview of the film will start a new Terminator trilogy.
The video completely shattered many depictions of the content of this trailer that had been circulated on foreign websites before. The trailer opens with the classic opening scene of the Terminator series, driving down the highway before a human skull is crushed and the Terminator alloy feet are replaced by rumbling machine wheels. Subsequently, the audience heard that Lin Mingyang played the leader of the future world resistance, John. Connor's cool voice-over voice, from the mottled imagery, you can see that the machine is capturing human... Everything is shrouded in the desolation of the last days.
Everything in the film conveys the same message to the audience, the protagonist John Connor is in the future, but this future is not what his mother Sarah has always portrayed to him, a brutal war has begun, and the future of humanity is uncertain.
At the end of the video, John Connor and his team suddenly hear the sound of the engine and turn around to see the robot monster emerging from the water.
The camera flashed, and the subtitle of the previous title "The Future Opens" has become "The End Begins" at the end of the trailer, and the main title of the film prominently typed the words "Terminator: Savior", which can be said to be full of suspense at the end of the film.
The video was released to the world on Seven ube, and it was viewed more than 10 million times on the same day, and with all kinds of speculation about the content of the video, from Hugo Yiweiwen's seven-500 to the prediction of the final boss, the robot that appeared in the film once again became the focus of attention.
This gave Barrus a chance to show his face alone in front of the media, and I have to admit that although this guy is a novice, he still has a bit of the demeanor of a big director in front of the media, and when it comes to this movie that is being filmed, it is also a set.
"More than 10 years ago, a science fiction film with an investment of only $5 million, "The Terminator", with the collaboration of James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger, became a milestone in science fiction films. In the last three episodes of "The Terminator", the main plot is about humans constantly fighting against mechanical killers from the future, and the film in my hand has finally begun to face the confrontation between humans and robots in the post-apocalyptic world. ”
"I've been wondering how the film should be interpreted so that the audience doesn't feel like it's a replica of the past successes. I used to be apprehensive about that, but when I read the script, I knew that these worries were unnecessary to construct a rather brilliant story, which broke out of the framework set by the previous films, expanded into a bigger picture, and made the audience think more. I don't think it's a science fiction movie that purely pursues visual stimulation, there are a lot of reflections on the future society, as well as some philosophical ideas about self-existence, and I think it's rare for these contents to appear in a commercial film. ”
The story of the film revolves entirely around the main character, John Connor, and focuses on how he gathers the surviving humans to form a resistance army and eventually their leader. Through this film, I think a lot of viewers can understand why he had the destiny to become a leader, and how he became the person he had to be... I think that although the Terminator series has developed into a three-episode story, many people still don't know much about these details, and many fans must be willing to see what kind of struggles and hesitations Connor had in the process. Connor personally tries to verify and defend what is the right choice in the film, which may seem a bit strange to some, but in my opinion, it was the most exciting part of my time making Terminator: Savior. ”
When Barrus was in the middle of his conversation, a reporter in the audience had already raised his hand high, which made Barrus have to stop his speech and let the reporter who couldn't hold back ask questions first.
"Since the positioning of the film is a science fiction movie, will paying too much attention to the growth of the protagonist dilute the clue of robots?" The reporter was not polite to Bruce, and the question was tricky as soon as he came up.
Barrus reacted immediately after a short pause: "In the apocalyptic world, the relationship between robots and humans has risen from the initial individual conflict to the overall war, so the film has both the scene of the robot chasing the protagonist that inherits the previous work, and the scene of a new large-scale confrontation between humans and robots." These plot settings will continue throughout the protagonist's growth, and the classic robot 7-800 that appeared in the last three episodes has become a thing of the past, and it has been replaced by more new robots with different shapes. ”
"These robots have different appearances and mobility abilities than their predecessors, and they will pose a great threat to the Salvation Army. All the robots in the film are the result of the continuous discussion of the entire film production team, and the shooting method of movement but the combination of physical models and computer special effects, the texture of the robots will be very real, I believe the audience will have a refreshing feeling, and their performance in the film is very visually impactful, it can be said that it is a pure high-efficiency killing machine. ”
"Now that seven-800 is a thing of the past, what about Arnold and Mr. Schwarzenegger's cameo role in the film?" A reporter keenly grasped the flaw in Barrus's words, and then asked.
"Well..."Schwarzenegger plays the role of seven-800 is the last big point, the producer did not announce it to the public, but is ready to leave it as a suspense to answer in the film. The reporter's question made Barrus a little embarrassed.
"Mr. Schwarzenegger will play a very important role in the film, and it is a very familiar role, about his role positioning because of the spoilers, it is not convenient to reveal it to you here, but his performance is definitely not a glimpse, and the excitement will definitely not disappoint everyone!"
Barrus played a trick and bypassed the question, and his tone was so tight that the reporters tried their best to get a reason out of his mouth.
The more unclear the question, the more interested the reporters became. No matter how tightly the producer's news is covered, there will inevitably be omissions, and not long after Barrus was interviewed by reporters this time, there have been multiple versions of the relationship between the classic robot 7-800 and the protagonist John Connor in the film. It is said that Seven-800 will continue to serve as John this time. Connor's bodyguards, who fought alongside him; It is also said that the relationship between the two sides is hostile, and the plot of the protagonist being chased by 7-800 in the first episode of "Terminator" will be reproduced in the film... There are various theories, but the concept of war movies is predominant, and most people did not expect that the final battle would take place in John. Connor and the seven-800 pair of old partners.
