Chapter 424: This Is the Power of Movies
"Whew, pretty good start!" Chen Jiashang took a deep breath, his eyes fell on the big screen with a bright eye, he hadn't read the novel "Wild Story", and he didn't know what the specific story content was, but only from the first ten minutes, it can be seen that this movie made by Lin Yuquan is not a summer commercial blockbuster that simply pursues carnival and entertainment, its story layout is very exquisite, using the fierce battle between apes and monsters, a more powerful expression of the tragic fate of ape people being enslaved, where there is oppression, where there is resistance, It is foreseeable that the rest of the story will be quite exciting.
The film critics in different theaters also showed admiration on their faces, Xiaohe showed his sharp corners, this movie has not been simple, so far it can be said to be a full score, the soundtrack, photography and other technical links are flawless, and the arrangement of the story is also tight, without flaws. And the protagonist Caesar also appeared on the stage and left a deep impression, and then it depends on how Lin Yuquan creates the protagonist of a heroic image, whether he goes with the flow or is sincere and innovative.
A dark dungeon appeared on the screen, and Caesar, who was imprisoned in the dungeon, slapped the stone wall while scolding: "Bastard, what did I do wrong, why did you put me in the dungeon, didn't I say it right?" Cowards, be slaves and slaves of the giants yourselves, I don't want to live like that."
Caesar's face was full of indignation, in its eyes, the elders and the clansmen were too timid and afraid to resist at all, and were willing to submit to the rule of the giant clan, and suffered all the exploitation and oppression, but is it interesting to live like this? It doesn't want to be enslaved by the giants for the rest of its life.
The more I thought about it, the more angry it became, slapping the wall hard, as if it was tired of scolding. Sit on the ground with a butt. Gasping for air. The gaze was a little blurry, but then there was an indissolvable determination and unyieldingness.
It is extremely difficult, or at all, for a motion-captured synthetic gorilla to express such a complex emotion, but Andy. Serkis deserves to be Andy. Serkis, Lin Yuquan's best actor in the field of motion capture, injects heart and soul into the character in his way, making CG characters more than just a simple on-screen visual image.
The picture then cuts to the endless sea of forests, looking at the hundreds of silver wolves the size of calves rushing in front of them. Haller turned to the hunting party behind him, which had expanded to hundreds of people because of the dispatch of all the adult apes, and said loudly: "For the continuation of the ape race, for the survival of the descendants, it is time for us to fight again, now sue me, are you afraid?" ”
"Don't be afraid, as long as the race can continue, what is it to die, for the survival of the race, I am willing to fight to the death." All the apes took a step forward at this time, their eyes full of firm faith. Their reluctance, their tears. I put it down long before I came, and it drained.
"Okay, for the sake of the continuation of the race, then let's fight!" Halle turned, waved his arms, and raised the iron rod in his hand.
"Let's fight!" All the apes shouted in unison, and then, under the leadership of Halle, fearlessly met the galloping giant wolves, and began a fierce fight, the collision of pure power erupted into shocking shock and beauty, in this battle full of courage and blood, from time to time the giant wolves fell, and from time to time the apes were injured, and even fell in a pool of blood.
The camera switches to another part of Lin Hai, where hundreds of apes are fighting against a group of ironclad beasts, and as one of the tall apes shouts "one qiē for the survival of the race", all the apes in the battle shout "survive" in unison, and at the same time, they become more and more ferocious against the ironclad beasts.
The camera then switches to several places in the forest sea, each of which is an ape fighting a variety of monsters, which is a fight between the ape race and the continuation of the race.
A sound of footsteps sounded clearly in the dark dungeon, and the closed stone door suddenly opened, and an old ape-man walked in: "Caesar, the time of the day is up, you can go out." ”
"Haha, it's time to go out." Caesar, who was sitting on the ground with his fingers on the ground in a huff, jumped up violently, his face was full of excitement, and he hated being locked up in a dungeon the most.
The old ape-man shook his head: "Caesar, after you go out, you must participate in the hunt, be careful, you must come back alive." ”
"Hunting, great." Caesar became even more excited, and paid no attention to what the old ape-man had to say, and said "Goodbye, Grandpa Seth," and hurried out of the dungeon.
"Hey." The old ape-man sighed: "I must come back alive!" ”
Not only to leave the dungeon, but also to join the hunting party, for Caesar this is definitely the best joy, its face is undisguised excitement, but as soon as it walks out of the dungeon, it immediately realizes that something is wrong, the whole ape-man tribe is no longer the usual lively and peaceful, it looks extremely sad, faintly crying sound from the entrance of the tribe, it towards the entrance of the tribe.
At the entrance of the tribe, in addition to a large number of monster corpses, there were many injured apes and apes lying quietly on the ground, no longer breathing, while around were sad old apes, female apes, and baby apes.
"Ah, Uncle Bass, Uncle Quincy, Uncle Ryan" Caesar looked at the ape-man who was no longer breathing in shock, and shouted out of control, tears poured out of his eyes, and after a long time, his eyes were red, his fists slammed into the ground, and he gritted his teeth: "Damn giants." The picture switches, a little ape-man is crying and standing next to the bed, on the stone bed is a dying ape-man, in the faint sad music, he said to the little ape-man: "Caesar, you have to remember, without the ape, there would be no us, our lives are given by the ape, for the continuation of the ape, for the survival of future generations, our life and death, what can we count." ”
"For the continuation of the ape race."
Hearing this, the audience in different theaters deeply felt the sadness, helplessness and strength of the ape clan, although the ape clan is not human, but the emotions are common. Countless viewers' hearts were aching, and tears poured out uncontrollably and slid down their cheeks.
"Why do Lin Yuquan's movies always have such sad scenes, why can't I help it every time?" A beautiful girl covered her mouth with her hands, sniffled, and cried uncontrollably.
"Damn. I hate crying and crying the most. I'm going to watch the fight. I want to see Caesar's might," a young man scolded in a low voice, but his right hand kept wiping tears.
The dark theater was filled with sadness, and the expressions of the film critics were also extremely moving, many of them had moist eyes like ordinary movie fans, but compared to ordinary movie fans, because of their professions, although they were sad, their eyes were shining on the screen. Okay, it's really good, fully portraying the tragic fate of the ape race, first suppressing and then rising, only the front is suppressed enough, in order to burst out more violently, it is certain that the content of the story behind is absolutely enthusiastic, very exciting.
Grief is often a good growth booster, witnessing the death of a clansman. Caesar's rebellious and uninhibited personality has a little more poise and perseverance, as a member of the adult ape race. He also appeared in the hunting team, joining Halle's hunting team, this time Haller did not refuse it, but solemnly patted it on the shoulder: "Yiqiē for the continuation of the ape clan." ”
There are hundreds of tribes on the wild continent, all kinds of ferocious monsters emerge in endlessly, the danger of Lin Hai's hunt is profoundly shown in front of it when Caesar first participates in the hunt, an ape man falls permanently, an ape's arm is bitten off by a monster, and the rest of the apes are each injured, Caesar is also injured, it carries the belief of "I want to become the first warrior of the ape race", and it is difficult to kill a porcupine pig with a companion.
The battle went on again and again, and Caesar was growing rapidly, but after all, it was only an adult ape-man, perhaps it was more powerful among young apes, but it was slightly inferior to tribal warriors such as Halle, and even tribal warriors such as Haller were helpless in such a large-scale battle. So although it wanted to do more, it was powerless and could only watch the casualties of its clansmen.
Caesar's belief in becoming stronger became stronger and stronger, and finally in a hunt, it got a black iron medal, at first it just used the black iron medal as a fun toy, but inadvertently touched the black iron medal, and got the cultivation exercises hidden inside, in the wild continent, only those overlord-level races will have zài cultivation exercises.
The hunt was over, and the apes got enough prey, but the whole ape was not happy in the slightest, and too many people died because of the hunt, and the apes held a hero's funeral amid sad music.
Among the thousands of theaters across the country, every theater seems to be dead silent, some are just the sound and soundtrack of the movie, not because the audience has left the theater early, nor because the audience feels that the movie is boring and drowsy, but because all the audience is immersed in the love of the movie, immersed in the sad love of the ape clan, and they are fully immersed in the story of the film, of course, they can't speak.
In just half an hour, the portrayal of the ape clan is so good, in just half an hour, the portrayal of a heroic, pitiful and respectable ape clan is expressive, and this portrayal makes the audience unconsciously stand on the side of the ape clan, fully demonstrating Lin Yuquan's ability to grasp the audience's psychology.
The story on the big screen continues, after the ape clan has made great sacrifices, they must also send people to build the palace of the giant clan, when the majestic giant tribe appears, the audience in each theater finally walked out of the sad love, looking at the big screen with great shock, Lin Yuquan borrowed the design of the builder's memory and the support of Weta Digital's top technology, the seamless combination of the two, and finally created a spectacular and extraordinary giant palace and building, bringing the audience a beautiful visual effect picture.
The eight affiliated races of the giant clan who also participated in the construction of the building also opened the audience's eyes, just like monsters, apes, and giants, Lin Yuquan's design and Vita Digital's special effects polished make these races come to life and show their unique charm.
"Oh, great, is this the kobold? Oh, the centaurs are even more handsome than I imagined, and the buildings, the props, and the scenery, and only Lin Yuquan, as the author, can present these things perfectly. "Fans who have read the novel are undoubtedly very satisfied with the film, which has far exceeded their psychological expectations.
It's too strong, Chen Desen looked at the big screen with sighs, what is perfect, this is perfection, soundtrack, photography, action direction, art direction, sets, props, special effects "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" has reached the world's top level in all aspects in terms of behind-the-scenes production, and under the control of Lin Yuquan, all these components are perfectly combined, and finally form an impeccable picture and visual effects, bringing people the ultimate ornamentation.
Compared to "Wild Stories: Rise of the Ape Race". "The Siege of October", which he has been preparing for many years, is really nothing. Although it has something to do with investment. It also has a certain relationship with the type of film, but the more important thing is the gap between him and Lin Yuquan's ability in all aspects, that young man's ability in all aspects is too strong, especially in the imagination of action direction and art and special effects design, even if it is put into the world, it is estimated that no one can compare with him.
But that's just the beginning.
Caesar, who seems to be a child, has quietly found changes in his personality since he experienced the hunt and obtained the cultivation exercises, and under his rebellious and unruly appearance, he is actually resolute and strong. It has been silently cultivating hard, and since it has just come of age, this is the first time it has worked as a coolie for the Giant Clan, and seeing the current situation of the subordinate races being oppressed and surviving, the anger and unwillingness in its heart have become more and more intense.
Serving as a construction coolie is not the end of the tragic fate of the ape's enslavement, just as the giant's building is about to be completed, the golden lion, which borders the area ruled by the giants and is also the giant's rival, suddenly starts a war against the giants.
The vassal races that were constructing the building, as well as most of the adult tribesmen of the tribes, were immediately drawn to the front lines of the two warring sides, serving as cannon fodder for both sides.
On the wide plain, the Giants and the Golden Lion were at the back of their respective phalanxes. And in front of them are hundreds of thousands of subordinate races that act as cannon fodder.
"Oh, what a spectacle." The audience in the theater praised one after another. The Golden Lion Clan and its subordinate races make everyone look at it brightly, and from the perspective of the normal aesthetic sense of human beings, the Golden Lion Clan and other races are very ornamental.
Especially the Golden Lion Clan, each Golden Lion Clan is more than 5 meters tall, the bronze muscles on the body are raised high, as if they are made of metal, and their golden hair is like a raging golden firework, shining with dazzling light under the sun, coupled with their majestic and square faces, they are like peerless men with extraordinary domineering. Moreover, the Golden Lion Clan has the ability to transform, and they can turn into mighty Golden Lions, which is quite stylish.
Judging from the aesthetics of the racial image design alone, "Wild Wild: Rise of the Apes" is absolutely complete with the fantasy "The Lord of the Rings", "The Chronicles of Narnia", "The Golden Compass", "Pirates of the Caribbean" and other films, what is a visual feast, this is.
As the horn sounded, the subordinate races belonging to the Giant Clan and the Golden Lion Clan immediately flocked to each other like a tide, and then launched a tragic battle, hysterical roars, sparkling collisions, fist-to-flesh sounds, and gushing blood, constituting a battlefield of passionate collision and cruel and cold-blooded blood.
There is no director and action director in the world who can beat Lin Yuquan in the scheduling of large-scale battles, and with the investment of $170 million, Weta Digital spent a year of meticulous polishing, which shows how amazing the final visual effects are.
Not to mention films such as "The Lord of the Rings", "Heavenly Dynasty", "Troy", etc., even "Red Cliff", which Lin Yuquan once brought shocking cold weapon war special effects to all audiences, is slightly inferior.
This is Lin Yuquan's biggest investment film to date, and it is also the film in which he surpasses himself and reaches new heights in big-scene fights.
"It's amazing." The audience in each theater opened their mouths wide and couldn't hide their excitement staring at the big screen, even some timid female audiences watched with excitement and fear, their eyes unblinking, for fear of missing any scenes.
Should it be said that it is indeed a super blockbuster with an investment of 170 million, and it is indeed produced by Lin Yuquan? Chen Kaige, Chen Jiashang, Chen Desen, and film critics all sat up straight, staring intently at Lin Yuquan's increasingly amazing visual feast.
There was still silence in the theater, only the film's impassioned soundtrack and music, but at this time, the atmosphere in the theater reached the highest climax since the opening, and all the audience's emotions were mobilized by this visually shocking battle, and they were so excited and nervous that they almost forgot to breathe.
As the story of the film progresses, the audience's emotions are completely mobilized, sometimes sad and tearful, sometimes excited, and the two opposing feelings are in stark contrast, this is the power of the movie, this is the power of "Wild Tales: The Rise of the Ape Race". (To be continued......)
