Chapter 237: The Ape Released
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Strength! You can control the power of human beings!
Everyone wants it, but to let a person who has no self-protection chase this kind of destructive power is almost like looking for death.
After Alex figured out the reason, he couldn't help but curse: "Hoover, you old fox, you actually dig a pit for me to jump!" Bastard! ”
Yes, that's what Director Hoover was doing. He dared to hand over this secret to Alex, and it was up to Alex to swallow it alone. You know, it's not just the people who are watching, but even the mysterious organizations such as Freemasonry, the Illuminati, and the Gate of Truth are watching.
Unless Alex doesn't care about the safety of his relatives, and at the same time can immediately get the weapons in this sage's legacy, and then form his own power, then it is possible to make the other party throw a mouse trap and dare not touch the people of the Carpenter family.
It's just that this simply can't be achieved!
What Alex got from the manuscript was a series of numbers, and he didn't know what the numbers represented or what they were for.
Unless...... Unless someone knows the mystery and is willing to help Alex get the weapon wholeheartedly.
The names of several people kept flashing in my mind, Hughes, Rockefeller, Hoover, and so on. Alex denied them one by one, these people may know the secret, but none of them have a reason to help Alex.
"Wait!"
Alex suddenly thought of a breakthrough point, and he felt as if he had a certain chance to obtain the mystery. But will the other party give him time? Alex was a little worried again, but in the end he decided to keep things the same. Let's see if there are any traps and opportunities.
With that in mind, he pretended to be nothing and returned to DreamWorks. The movie "Planet of the Apes" he shot is about to be released, and of course he has to sit in person at this time.
The film has been edited and approved, and it is only about to be released. Before this, DreamWorks had already launched publicity, basically focusing on Alex, Brigitte, and Hepburn.
One of the three of them is an entertainment star who has not been out for several years, and he has a lot of popularity in novels, singing, movies, science and technology, etc. One is a sexy female star who has just emerged. Led the bikini trend of this era. It is the object of many men's sexual immorality. There is also a Hollywood actress, who has played the role of a princess for many years, and her innocent and beautiful image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Under the great propaganda machine, this not movie soon became a household name. plus the recent scandals. makes many fans look forward to the release of the movie day and night.
But what makes those fans feel strange. Hepburn's role in it was not written in the poster at all, but simply wrote: "Audrey? Hepburn plays the number two actress in this film! ”
Of course, many people don't pay much attention to this kind of detail. They just knew that Hepburn was starring. Some reporters also asked Hepburn about it, wanting to know some inside information from her. Hepburn just smiled and said: "This is a very good movie, and it is also my transformation work, I hope everyone can go to it." ”
I don't know anything from that. When the reporter wanted to continue to ask, Hepburn would remain silent and no longer give any answers.
Until the day the movie was released, no one knew what role Hepburn played in it. However, there are still many Hepburn fans who rushed into the cinema for her, originally this sci-fi film was not the dish of these fans, but because Hepburn's appeal was so strong, they did not consider the genre of this film.
Many people buy tickets to watch movies just because Hepburn starred without knowing the type and plot of the movie.
This is also the case with Alex and Brigitte's fans, who like their stars and ignore the genre of the film. The director has sold out the movie tickets before the film is released.
This is a shot in the arm for Hollywood, which has a sluggish market, and many studios are keeping a close eye on the film.
Although DreamWorks held a screening for this film, under Alex's strong request, it was screened on the same day. He didn't give those reporters and film critics time to make a judgment, and directly pushed the movie in front of the audience, what he wanted to see was the expression of those audiences after knowing Hepburn's new image.
In major movie theaters in the United States, the audience was shocked by the opening of "Planet of the Apes". Realistic space images, spotless space stations, state-of-the-art spaceships, and more all show how real and believable the future this film shows.
Compared with the sci-fi films of the same era, this one is much better in terms of quality. You must know that before the sci-fi film "2oo1: A Space Odyssey" came out, the so-called sci-fi films were all shoddy films, which relied on creativity to attract audiences, and the quality of the film was never considered.
People who like to watch science fiction movies are already very imaginative, and in the absence of a choice, they may put up with shoddy and surprisingly creative science fiction films. For ordinary people, they are not so generous, and once the current movie set or character modeling does not meet the background setting, they will abandon it.
Alex's "Planet of the Apes" is on par with the epic blockbuster "Ben-Hur" in terms of investment, although the total investment is five films, but because DreamWorks planned well from the beginning and the scheduling was very effective, many set facilities and props can be reused.
So in terms of the quality of the film, "Planet of the Apes" is not worse than "Ben Hur", and there are even places.
When Ben Hur first appeared in front of people, it attracted the audience with its magnificent scenes, realistic set shapes and high-quality pictures, and it was very easy for the audience to forget that they were watching a movie.
"Planet of the Apes" has also achieved such an effect, and even made some of them think that the instruments and equipment in it are real. Because it has been previously reported that the space station, spacecraft and other shots of this film were filmed at the rocket control center of SCC company. It also makes these viewers mistakenly think that this is the case with American aerospace technology now.
Not only these ordinary people think so, but those scientists are also shocked by the glimpse of the future shown in this film, in which the computer operation interface, communication equipment, laser weapons, etc., all make Alex design similar and frighten many professionals.
Soon, the film progresses to the surface, and the Ark goes through a series of events before finally crashing into the water of a planet. Taylor and three other survivors abandon the ship and escape to a seemingly barren planet, where they are soon confronted with humans and orangutans who cannot speak.
"Oh! OMG. The planet's orangutans can speak! ”
"And not only they can talk. And still hunting humans! ”
Seeing the scene displayed on the screen, many timid viewers couldn't help but cover their eyes tightly with their hands, but they were unwilling to sneak through the cracks. This kind of massacre showing one race against another is reminiscent of the concentration camps of World War II. The soul in the depths of my heart trembled.
Some sensitive film critics were quick to notice. Alex here is not only a reflection of the human slaughter of humans. But also maps the concentration camps set up by the Nazis, and the extermination of the Indians by whites, which was an inter-ethnic massacre.
It's intriguing. When humans were reduced to lower animals and orangutans became higher animals, their slaughter made humans reflect on their own behavior.
As the film continues, people now realize that there are good people in the orangutans. In this society, known as the ape-man race, there are all kinds of people, some who like violence, some like scientific research, and some like peace.
At this time, among the three astronauts, only the protagonist Taylor played by Alex remained. Taylor was followed on a journey through the ape-man society, and through his eyes, he saw that this society was not much different from human society. With the help of a female orangutan, Taylor escapes from the ape-man society and leads these kind-hearted orangutans in their quest for historical truth.
At this time, two-thirds of the way through the movie, by this time, there were already people wondering: "What about Hepburn?" Why didn't you see Hepburn appear! ”
Not only do I think so, but some people have already asked the question: "Why didn't you see Miss Hepburn?" Didn't the movie poster say that she starred in this film? It's not going to be a cameo in the back! ”
"Probably not, I see that the poster says that it is the second heroine! Hawkers, this should be the nickname of the supporting actress, but there should be a lot of scenes! ”
"But why haven't you seen Hepburn yet!"
"Well, I don't know!"
Just as they were about to continue arguing, some people were already dissatisfied with their behavior and shouted to silence them.
"Shhhh Don't you guys make a noise, can't you let the family concentrate on watching the movie? ”
"Yes, if you make any more noise, get out! If you don't want to watch it, don't watch it! ”
"Does it matter if Hepburn shows up or not? Won't you keep your mouth shut and look at it? If there is any problem, go to the cinema to refund the ticket after watching it! ”
Under the opposition of these people, these Hepburn fans quieted down, and this kind of thing was not only born in one movie theater, but also appeared in other movie theaters.
With the help of the kind orangutans, Taylor subdued the pursuers and found a cave in a prehistoric civilization, where they found the glorious history of humanity.
Taylor looked at the doll in Brigitte's hand that could call her mother, and angrily asked the orangutans who denied history: "Could it be that your ancestors made this too?" Are they able to make talking dolls? ”
In the face of overwhelming evidence, the orangutan patriarch finally admitted that they had consciously covered up the history of human domination of the planet, and glorified the ancestors of the orangutans, so that they could kill these degraded humans with peace of mind.
"They made your culture!" The main character, Taylor, said loudly.
The orangutan patriarch asked disdainfully: "Answer my question, humans are higher than you, but why don't they have zài?" ”
Taylor looked around and thought, "Maybe it's because of literature and art, natural disasters, maybe even meteor showers!" Looking at what the planet looks like, it's quite possible. ”
The orangutan elder laughed and said, "You are wrong, only humans themselves are the ones who kill humans!" Yes, we orangutans are a low-level existence in human civilization, animals! But humans are not even as good as animals! ”
Taylor didn't speak. However, his expression was clearly disbelieving. The orangutan patriarch then instructed the good orangutans who were not tied up: "Come here, take out what is in my pocket, and read it to him, Volume 29, Chapter 6!" ”
The young female orangutan took out a sacred book of orangutans, and she read: "Beware of the human beast, he is a subordinate of the devil, and among the primates of the gods, only humans hunt life for fun, **, greed!" ”
"He will murder his brothers for the sake of the land, he will not let them multiply, he will turn your home into a desert. Avoid humans. Let the humans hide back in the caves of the jungle! ”
"He's the Grim Reaper!"
The mother orangutan finished the last sentence. Wrap the holy book together. Her expression was a little complicated, and from the orangutan elder, she learned that humans were originally such creatures. It didn't look as good as she imagined, but she couldn't believe it. After all, Taylor has shown a good appearance so far.
It's not just the actors in the movie who are complicated inside. Even people who watch movies in movie theaters have mixed feelings. Through this fragment, they finally learned that humans are like this in the eyes of other species. I was very unconvinced. But when you think about it, it's true.
Human greed not only ruined itself, but also implicated the creatures of the entire planet.
At this time, some of the audience members had secretly folded their hands and silently prayed to God: "O God, please forgive us greedy sinners!" ”
Through the film, one can already guess that the human race of this planet was destroyed by war, destroyed by nuclear bomb attacks. Although the orangutan is smart, it does not have the ability to overthrow humans, and it is all human fault that is at their own fault.
People in this era live in the shadow of the Cold War, the earth is being washed by nuclear bombs at any time, and the threat of doom has never left. The Soviet Union and the United States were constantly in friction, and every time it would pull people's nerves, and they could not sleep peacefully at any time.
Alex's film just hits people's worries and shows a planet after the end of mankind in front of people. At this time, humans had degenerated into animals, not only failed to sustain human civilization, but were also hunted and killed by orangutans as harmful creatures.
How could they not be worried when they thought that the human beings on Earth would eventually come to this path, especially when Taylor and Nova found the remains of human civilization on the beach, and they were shocked to find that it was a famous building on the earth, that is, the statue of Lady Liberty.
I always thought that Taylor went to an alien planet, but what I didn't expect was that he went to the future of the earth.
How could this kind of reversal not make the audience exclaim again and again, and many people even got up from their chairs and shouted, "Oh my God, oh my God! ”
Such a big plot twist has actually been foreshadowed in front of it, and it doesn't seem very abrupt. But this has shocked those audiences, and even those film critics have opened their mouths wide and can't close for a long time.
They looked at the protagonist and watched Alex's Taylor fall to his knees on the beach, pounding and crying, "Oh my God! I'm back, I'm back! ”
"For so long...... Finally born, you madmen, you ruined a qiē! Damn, you all deserve hell! ”
Accompanied by the cry of the protagonist, the camera of the film gradually rises up, allowing people to see a statue with only half of its body lying on the beach. This footage is very realistic, giving a glimpse of what Lady Liberty would look like after it had been blown up.
The film gradually darkens, the cast list rises, and at the same time, Brigitte's only line in this film sounds: "Don't cry, you still have me!" ”
This may be the only comforting word, yes, the protagonist Taylor is still in company, the primitive woman who has been degraded and unable to speak, and is now finally able to speak.
In the process of putting the cast on the film, people saw some tidbits from the filming of the film and how the sets were built. When I saw the actor saying the lines, the scene of laughter. Soon one of the tidbits of people is Hepburn putting on makeup, little by little in the makeup process, from a princess-like beauty to a female orangutan!
"Oh my God, Hepburn...... Hepburn: She turned out to be that kind female orangutan! ”
"Wow! It's really her, I really didn't think that orangutan was Hepburn! ”
"I didn't expect that, I wanted to ask someone from DreamWorks!"
Seeing such unexpectedly tidbits, the audience talked to the people around them, even if they didn't know each other, they couldn't help but complain. After all, Hepburn broke her original image this time and appeared in front of the audience with an amazing female orangutan, and no one in the audience could have imagined that such a situation would occur.
"Hepburn's female orangutan is also very good-looking! It's charming, I really want to kiss her! ”
"yes, it doesn't matter if she turns into an orangutan!"
However, Hepburn's acting skills have indeed improved a lot, and she has now basically reached the level of the later performance of "Breakfast at Tiffany's", neither her eyes nor her expression are amazing.
"Hey, I already had a premonition when I saw Alex kissing her......"
"Cut, you are an afterthought, I don't believe you can see it!"
There is no doubt that Alex's film is a success. In the film, there are several big reversals that surprise the audience, including the scene where the orangutan hunts humans as soon as it appears, and the scene where Taylor appears on Earth at the end, and the scene where Hepburn plays the female orangutan in the tidbits.
Every shot surprised them, and they also had endless aftertastes, after the movie ended, they chatted while walking, and the more they talked, the more they felt that the film was profound. (To be continued!)
