Chapter 240: The critics are all divine
"Hello, please tell me the name of the movie you want to see."
"Super Body."
When a young man about seventeen or eighteen years old in front of the camera said these two words at the ticket window of a Hollywood theater, the camera on the screen swept the ticket hall, and there was a long queue in the entire ticket hall, and almost everyone looked in the direction of the "Super Body" poster, and when the ticket staff asked the audience the name of the movie they wanted to see, most of the people answered "Super Body"!
What's so good about "Super Body"?
I'm afraid that the audience who hasn't participated in the 'Wonderful Plot Contest' really can't answer, but what is the audience's mentality most of the time when watching a movie? It's not about watching a movie, it's about how hot it is!
Let's ask, when "Titanic" was released in China, apart from the so-called publicity gimmicks and the real historical events of the giant ship buried at the bottom of the sea, what is the part related to this movie? The scene of hitting the iceberg? Special effect? I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to let the audience who hasn't seen this movie explain it back then, but the audience can explain it a little bit, it's hot!
In fact, a large part of the audience's heart when watching a movie is not to enter the theater to buy tickets after learning that a movie is good, but to enter the cinema after learning that a movie is popular to see how good the movie is. In 2014, this state will change significantly, whether in China or abroad, more often the audience begins to choose a movie that is suitable for them to watch very purposefully, what film critics, the media's attack on the audience has gradually decreased, who made the big screen market blowout in the era of bad movies are also coming out in piles. Are we all scared?
But in 2009, a movie that has become popular in public opinion still has a certain attraction in North America, at least the public opinion effect of this movie can make the audience feel like going into the cinema to see how Huaxia Shao's things compare to "Source Code".
"Ladies and gentlemen. This is the scene of the news interview on AMC TV, the Chinese director Shao Yingying, who bet with the Hollywood media, finally came up with a new film, "Super Body" caused the first time in North America that the Chinese director personally promoted the movie-watching group incident, we can clearly see through the guò camera lens that batch after batch of audiences walked into the theater in groups, I don't know if Shao Yingying can take advantage of this momentum to completely break the highest box office record held by Chinese directors in Hollywood, The current record held by a Chinese director in Hollywood is 546 million set by director Wu Yusen in 2000, and the movie is "Mission Impossible 2". ”
Truly. There are not many Chinese directors who have succeeded in Hollywood, and there are only a handful of movies with a box office of more than 100 million, but they are among the few movies. Wu Yusen alone accounted for three films, namely "Broken Arrow" with 150 million, "Changing Face" with 245 million and "Mission Impossible 2" with 546 million. Such box office results made other "Death is Coming" director Huang Yiyu, "Fast and Furious 3" director Lin Yiyu, and "Hulk" director Li Amine sigh with more than 100 million box office.
At least in the hearts of the current Chinese people, as long as they mention Hollywood Chinese directors, the first thing that comes to mind is Wu Yusen and Li Amine, and Shao Yingying is not yet in the leading position in the box office rankings.
"Hey. George! ”
The host was originally reporting on the movie-going craze in the theater. But I saw a very familiar figure in this movie-watching boom, this is the film critic George who often contacts their TV station, and the host hurriedly said to the camera: "It's hard to meet George on this occasion again, I didn't expect him to come to see Shao Yingying's premiere, now, come with me to interview George." ”
"Hi, Hatherine."
George is a middle-aged man in a T-shirt, and he doesn't have the star style of a film critic's suit and leather shoes at all. He stopped when he heard a voice behind him and saw a familiar face again.
"Do you also come to see Shao Yingying's "Super Body"?" Host Hatherine asked.
"That's right. I'm a sci-fi fan, Source Code is a movie that I really like, and I hope that Superbody will continue to feel that strong mystery. ”
"George, you may also know that the movie "Super Body" has a lot of fun with Hollywood media people, and now this matter has become a news event, but as far as the movie itself is concerned, it still needs a film critic to evaluate and analyze it from a very considerable perspective, I wonder if you have time to talk to us briefly after watching the whole movie?"
George looked at the reporters who were out for interviews, then at the crowd in the theater, and finally nodded, "Okay." ”
So Hatherine and George parted, and Hatherine continued her interview of the crowd outside the door, until she was still busy when the entire movie theater was quiet and the second wave of moviegoers who were going to see the next time slot appeared.
"Hatherine."
After a full movie had passed, the photographer alerted Hatherine to the fact that they had found George out of the theater, and at this time, a large crowd of people was also walking out in droves.
"George, how are you feeling?"
"I ...... I was very disappointed with this movie in the early stage, of course, this was my wrong judgment, and I even thought that it was not a sci-fi finale when I first entered the cinema, but a fantasy film. Because the heroine absorbs a large amount of CHP4 at one time, that is, the drug in the movie, the director has the element of 'regeneration, reproduction or innovation' in her body, and the explanation in the movie is that CHP4 is a trace element produced by pregnant women, which will help the fetus form bones, which means growth, or, evolution. ”
"When I saw this, I felt that this movie was complete nonsense, a person's evolution is only once, and that is the process of merging from his father's body, and the rest is growth, not evolution."
"Subsequently, the movie unfolds in the three story passages of Morgan Freeman's Ph.D. narrating theory and Van growing up and Scarlett's revenge, Morgan Freeman says that dolphins are creatures with 10% brain cell development, so they are smarter than humans and can be connected with ultrasound, so what happens to people when their brain cells are 100% developed?"
George continued: "I'll admit, I'm asking myself here. And then I got into the whole movie, and I was hooked. ”
"Immediately after. I found that this movie is not only not a bad movie, but when I look back and think about all the plots after watching this movie, it will suddenly dawn on me. Some people say that the end of physics is mathematics, the end of mathematics is philosophy, and the end of philosophy is theology. This movie fully shows us that as long as the brain domain is developed strong enough, which is the so-called 100%, you can step into a new field. Lucy, who is also the fan when the brain domain is 40% developed, she says that her metabolism is too fast. There is a high probability of death within 24 hours. But this kind of death is not unconscious, cell necrosis, but decomposition. The human body is like a particle. If you're going to watch the movie, pay attention to the footage on the plane. ”
The reporter suddenly realized: "I understand, it's like the end of "Source Code", Geng Han switched places between himself and the man on the train. ”
"That's right!"
"Shao Yingying has completely inherited the world structure of Source Code. The whole world is just part of the code. In this part, if your brain domain development is too developed, then you have to merge with the world, and you will gradually find the password to solve the program, so death becomes a particle decomposition. ”
When George said this, he suddenly found that the more people around him gathered, almost all of them were viewers who had just finished watching this movie. That's when George got his hands dirty. A film critic is afraid that no one will listen to what he says, as long as someone listens. He doesn't get tired even if he talks for a long time.
"Of course, there are very wonderful special effects shots and a contest between two beauties between Scarlett and Fan throughout the movie, but that's not the point, it's just a way to attract attention and confuse the audience, and what deserves our attention is what Lucy said when she met the doctor played by Morgan Freeman, she said that 'the only unit of measurement for everything in the world is time, and if there is no time, there will be no zài'." George deliberately paused his words and said, "This is a very, very scientific point of view, and Hawking has written about it. ”
"Next, we have two self-consistent and mutually binding arguments, what is the final form of the whole world that is programmed? It's math! So how is the world done? It is done in the process of slowly transforming mathematics into programs, that is, the loss of time. Who remembers the last shot at the end of Source Code? That's what he meant. George thought for a moment: ""Source Code" is a film that discovers and explores the world of proceduralization, and it also opens the first act for the entire series of films, and in the second act of "Super Body", Shao Yingying integrates into time, and the process of the formation of the whole world is not the blessing of the creator, but all the fantasies in Shao Yingying's mind, and he can be self-consistent. ”
"This is the opposite of "Resident Evil", the "Resident Evil" series of movies is to tell you why the world has become the end of the world, and then develop in the end of the world. "Source Code" is to explore the world in this world, and the second "Super Body" tells you why this world exists and what is the source. ”
George licked his lips and said, "Then we can make conjectures according to the theories of these two movies and think about the meaning here." What's the point? It's about asking everyone (the characters in the film and all the audience at the same time) to break the established limits of knowledge and not look at the scientific reasoning expressed in the film as you understand it. If, if we use the concept of man and the concept of time interchangeably, and the unit of measurement of all things, time, is time as a code, then in front of this person, are mountains, rivers, and disasters not a system in the program? It is done by the person (time) to promote. When Lucy's brain domain is 100% developed, she will be given the same power as Geng Han, and she will see that all the qiē in this world has been transformed from 'source' to 'time', which is a given formula. ”
"If someone analyzes this movie carefully, they will immediately feel that this movie and "Source Code" are in the same vein."
After George finished speaking, many people who came out of the movie theater next to him, whether they were close to the interview area because of the excitement or the excitement, almost at the same time had an idea, this movie was seen in vain, people saw so much information, and they just looked at Scarlett's nakedness, and it was a special back......
"Thank you, George." The presenter, who was still confused, knew why she ended the topic quickly, because she didn't understand it at all. (To be continued......)
