Chapter 171: Film Critics' Screening
September 15th is not a big day, Xu Song entered the semi-finals after two rounds of competition in the Beijing station audition of "Super Boy", and only missed the final round of the finals; Zhuang Ni didn't use the mentor's action cheats to directly advance in "Good Songs of China", and he was able to enter the live broadcast scene at the moment...... And Shao Yingying's "Source Code" has also been screened by film critics, even if it is only one.
On this day, the red carpet was also rolled out in the cinema hall of Huayi Cinema Line, and two hundred film critics from home and abroad walked through the red carpet like stars, Shao Yingying admitted frankly at the press conference that he just wanted to use the hands of these film critics to build momentum for "Source Code", this is his first self-written, acted and directed film, even if it is understandable to use some means. On the same day, Fan Yuyi did not attend because he wanted to participate in the performance of "Jingwumen", but Lin Xilei made a special trip from Xiangjiang.
"Why are you here?"
After the press conference, Shao Yingying asked curiously, he knew that Lin Xilei took the ID card of Baodao, and he also knew that Lin Xilei was developing in Xiangjiang, and there was a trend of turning to the mainland recently, but he never knew that Lin Xilei was so enthusiastic, the key is that today's event Huayi did not notify the main creators to participate at all, and the publicity on the entertainment programs in various places a few days ago is what the main creators must participate.
"I'm also one of the leading actors, it's my duty." Lin Xilei's answer made Shao Yingying really unable to say anything, there was a feeling that it was too much to say, not too little.
"Now." Lin Xilei took out a one-yuan coin when Shao Yingying had nothing to say, and then stuffed it into Shao Yingying's suit pocket and said, "Do you remember our gambling contract?" I decided to raise. For this dollar, I can win "Vote for Fame" by pressing "Assembly Number". ”
Shao Yingying laughed out loud: "You're not stupid at all, let's bet." You still have both pressures, which means that you can't lose or win no matter what, and I can't even win a dollar, can you? ”
"Are you missing this coin?" Lin Xilei asked quirkily, wearing a long black dress, she let her long hair drape over her shoulders, and her hands were behind her back, looking very playful.
When the other party asked, Shao Yingying could only answer: "There is no shortage." ”
"That's fine. You don't lack this coin, why win me? ”
Lin Xilei said as if she was coquettish with her own brother: "Actually, I didn't come to participate in this event. I was an endorsement in the capital, and when I saw the news, I realized that our movie was doing publicity......"
It's okay if you don't explain it, but when you explain it, it seems that the words that come out become superfluous.
"Xiao Shao. Lei Lei. The movie is almost over, what are you two doing? Wang Zhongjun was busy arranging the film critics, and when he turned around, he found that there was no Shao Yingying behind him, so what is he?
When I came out, Shao Yingying and Lin Xilei were silently with tears in their eyes, no, they bowed their heads silently, since there was no drama to watch. Wang Zhongjun simply called Shao Yingying back: "You said you, and I don't know whose movie this is." I'm busy sweating, you're good, standing at the door like no one. When the three of them walked to the door of the theater, Wang Zhongjun said to the security guards on both sides: "Watch tightly, no one is allowed to come over." ”
In that posture, there were more than a dozen security guards standing at the entrance of the theater and the entrance of the screening room, not to mention that someone had always secretly recorded it, even mosquitoes could not fly in.
Shao Yingying, Wang Zhongjun, and Lin Xilei sat in the last row, and Lin Xilei sat in the middle of the two, but Wang Zhongjun called out the phone within five minutes of entering.
At this time, the various trailers on the screen stopped playing, and after the 'Dragon Mark' appeared in the opening credits, the opening of the hero Huayi appeared.
For the title, Shao Yingying has not changed anything, and uses the title of the old Huayi, so that he can directly inherit the attraction of the original Huayi, and will not make the audience feel strange when they watch the title.
When the opening ended, there was darkness on the screen, which was deliberately cut out by Shao Yingxing, for about ten seconds, in order to cause depression to the audience.
Ten seconds later, Shao Yingying's voice came again, which was next to his dubbing for the movie: "Do you believe that everything we see is just a program?" ”
There is no explanation given in the dark opening credits, and Shao Yingying came up and threw questions to all the audience, and grabbed the suspense of the audience.
Rumble!
A bolt of lightning fell on the screen, and the original black screen suddenly turned into a starless night sky, without warning, but the connection was so wonderful.
Lightning fell on a dead tree, and the rolling of the electricity after the tree was struck by lightning caused a raging fire.
Followed by......
Night turned to day, dead wood was burned to charcoal, and torrential rain fell from the sky.
At this point, the camera becomes a wide angle of aerial photography, and the rain fills the river, making it rush, and the flood water rushes through the dikes in the waves......
Lightning, fire, floods, and then mudslides, avalanches, hurricanes, and natural disasters.
This process lasted only a few seconds, and then the ice and snow melted, the seeds spit out shoots, and the baby cried and grown, aging on the move.
No one explained what these things meant, but everyone who watched the movie remembered the question raised by Shao Yingying, if this qiē is just a program, then unlocking this program is equivalent to becoming a god!
The movie is playing here, these film critics are interested, this "Source Code" has made such a big proposition, so even if StarCraft appears in the future, it will seem too small, they all want to know, what kind of story Shao Yingying uses to combine such a proposition, and how to solve this proposition.
Swish.
There was another change on the screen, the change of perspective made the image just now seem to be presented on the screen in the movie, with the adjustment of the focal length, the audience saw a university classroom, in the classroom, Fan Yuyi as an assistant playing this video, and Kou Shixi was extremely excited to explain his understanding of the world.
"The world is big because we are all in the world. I don't know if you have ever thought that maybe the universe is very small, just like humans looking at bacteria through a microscope. Maybe what we see is the world of bacteria, but the so-called world is not worth mentioning to us. So, how do we know if the world is big or small, and what it consists of? This is what we are going to study today, and if we get the answer to this question, we will get a formula. At that time, the whole universe will become a constantly changing program in our eyes, and we can solve all the mysteries through the formula of guò......"
The camera turned. Kou Shixi's enthusiasm was the depression of two or three big cats and small cats in the university classroom, and except for a few natural students with glasses and extremely boring ones who looked like astronomy or archaeology, there was no one to cheer at all.
Bell......
After the bell rang for the end of class, Kou Shiyi said to everyone: "Okay, students." That's all for today. ”
All students left the classroom at about the same time. Fan Yiyi approached Kou Shiyi in a white coat and glasses and said, "Professor, the real yàn room is here again, if we still can't get the money together on time, I'm afraid people will kick us out." Also, many of our equipment has not been maintained for a long time, as long as you don't continue to be persistent in this field that you don't know if you can touch, there will be companies to hire you with an annual salary of millions. ”
She paused for a moment and said regretfully, "Why bother? ”
Kou Shiyi, who was packing up his textbooks, raised his head and glanced at Fan Yiyi. Let out an extremely disdainful sound, 'Hmph'. Reaching out for chalk and writing a jumble of symbols on the blackboard, the symbols look like a formula.
When, when, when.
Kou Shiyi threw away the chalk, tapped the blackboard a few times with his index knuckle and said: "This can change the world, make the world disappear, and make the world in full view, compared to it, is money still useful?" ”
The camera flickered, and the string of formulas was infinitely long as it was on the huge blackboard.
"Solve this, I am God."
Kou Shiyi spread out his hands and glanced at Fan Yuyi with the eyes of a believer in God, and he couldn't understand why 'people' were so naïve.
Rumble!
There was a loud bang, and Kou Shiyi on the screen felt the shaking of the earth, and even the roof of the classroom was constantly falling dust.
At that moment, Kou Shiyi turned his head to look in the direction where the loud noise came from, and black smoke billowed in the distance.
"Where is that?"
Fan Yuyi took a closer look: "It seems to be near the train station." ”
"Oh no, my daughter is back today!"
……
Wang Zhongjun has already returned, in order not to disturb these film critics watching the movie, he sat in the first row that everyone did not want to sit in, and he still watched the movie with his head tilted in the first row.
Seeing this, Wang Zhongjun must admit that Shao Yingying does have two times, and this opening alone has a very Hollywood style. No wonder Shao Yingying, this kid can thrive in this circle, if you want to mix in this industry, it depends on whether you have the real thing in your hand.
……
The next plot is more like a picture shot in Hollywood, the professor was stopped near the train station because of a big traffic jam, and in a hurry, he ran all the way into the train station with his assistant, and at this moment the scene changed again, the picture became a news report, when the host sat in the studio and played the news, the movie screen just now appeared in the upper right corner of the host in the form of a small screen. In the host's introduction, the audience understands that this is a terrorist attack, but this is not the purpose, but only to introduce the plot, in the following picture, the professor sees the body of his daughter in the morgue of the hospital.
At that time, Kou Shidi was going crazy, he didn't smash things, the bloodshot eyes, the big snot hanging on his nose and the spit on his mouth all proved that this person was about to collapse.
At this critical juncture, two nurses transporting the bodies started a conversation about a passenger who was about to be brain dead, and that the terrorists were in fact ready for the next attack, but the authorities did not announce it.
Scold.
Kou Shiyi rushed out of the morgue in a flash, and in the female assistant's questioning, Kou Shiyi replied with a big snot on his face: "I only have one daughter, I want revenge!" ”
Fan Yuyi didn't speak, he caught up and grabbed Kou Shiyi's arm, and said softly: "Professor, I am an orphan, and it is you who funded me to go to school to get to where I am today, I, help you." ”
Soft music sounded, in the sound of music, Kou Shixuan and Fan Yiyi stole the body that was about to enter a state of brain death, and in the music, they stole a critically ill patient in the hospital's intensive care unit who would die immediately as long as the oxygen tube was removed.
Their real yàn began, Kou Shiyi's sleepless calculations were brought on the screen in the Spring and Autumn Brushwork, and there was no mention of time here, but he mentioned a sentence in the conversation between him and Fan Yiyi: "Actually, I have been calculating, only the last step is missing." ”
……
Seeing this, Shao Yingying knew that he had won, and Kou Shixi, an old actor from Baodao, acted brilliantly, combining the image of a father and a professor who treats money like dung just right.
Just this beginning has attracted the attention of more than 200 film critics at the scene, and almost every one of them is immersed in the plot and can't extricate themselves.
……
The movie continues, after the cycle of failing and stealing corpses three times in a row, Kou Shiyi focuses on these people who are not strong enough, and when Shao Yingying is lying on the hospital bed and is stolen out by them, Shi Yàn finally succeeds!
Here, it is basically seamlessly connected to the original film, the only problem is that the mystery that Kou Shixi has not solved for so long is too coincidental to solve it after his daughter's accident, if you say it hard, maybe it is too easy to add a plot of stealing a seriously ill patient.
But are these problems for movies?
No, absolutely not. That movie has no coincidence problem? There are even films that are linked together by countless coincidences, such as Pulp Fiction.
……
Touch.
Shao Yingying woke up on the train and hit the table with his arm, this was his first eight minutes, and he wasted the whole eight minutes without knowing why, after that, the train exploded for the first time.
The explosion scene made by Hollywood special effects company is too realistic, and the scene where air currents and steaming flames are combined makes everyone in the audience think they are watching a Hollywood blockbuster.
When Shao Yingying woke up again in an object similar to a space capsule, the film critics present found out that Kou Shiyi was not the male number one, and they wanted to strangle themselves to death.
Shao Yingying's first conversation with Fan Yuyu appeared, and when the audience had learned that Fan Yuyi was a fake military officer, Shao Yingying on the screen did not see any flaws at all, he learned his location and his mission through guò conversation, but he was thrown back into an eight-minute loop without getting any other information.
At the beginning of the second round of the cycle, a film critic finally began to record, from the angle that Shao Yingying could see, he found that a film critic wrote the name of "Groundhog Day", and a foreign film critic next to him also wrote down in English, Shao Yingying didn't know much about these English, but he could figure out what it was.
The plot cycles again and again, and Shao Yingying has always insisted on it in the movie, even if he has the idea of escaping, he has not flinched.
In this process, Shao Yingying fell in love with Lin Xilei, who could only get along with him for eight minutes, and after kissing Lin Xilei when he was about to die, the relationship between the two quickly heated up, but Lin Xilei did not show the heat of a couple.
As soon as the film critic wrote down this paragraph in his notebook, he immediately crossed it out with a pen, indeed, for Lin Xilei, every time Shao Yingying returned to these eight minutes, she was experiencing the first time, how could she show the intimacy between lovers?
Thinking of this, the critics quickly raised their perception of the film to a higher level, which shows the carefulness of the producer. (To be continued......)
