Chapter 733: A Big Bad Movie with a High Box Office (Part I)

The twists and turns of "Independence Day" were finally released on October 6 in late autumn in the anticipation of fans. Based on the reputation that light and shadow do not make bad movies and China Ming only shoots classics, the light and shadow company only spent less than 30 million publicity fees to let a large number of fans enter the cinema and line up to buy tickets, and nearly 5,000 movie tickets in the screening hall were snapped up by loyal fans, and the average attendance rate reached an astonishing full house!

At 7 o'clock in the evening of October 6, the premiere of "Independence Day" kicked off at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood. 1,800 guests, film critics, and lucky fans gave the crew a round of applause, all waiting to witness the birth of a classic science fiction movie.

In the applause, Sun Ziming led the main creative staff of the crew to the small stage and delivered an impromptu speech as usual.

"After I finished filming 'Independence Day,' Mr. Spielberg called me and said, 'Hey, little one, I heard you made a film that was better than 'E.'. T" cooler movie? ’

I replied, "Steven, it turns out you're still Hollywood's number one director." Anyone who wants to challenge you has to get past me first! ”

The audience burst into laughter, China Ming's most respected director in Hollywood, that is, Steven Spielberg. The rest of the big directors either treated each other politely, or argued a lot like James Cameron, or fought to the death like Lucas.

"It's true, E. "T" can perfectly combine business and art, and my "Independence Day" will also create a myth - a super bad movie with a high box office! ”

Everyone in the audience was stunned, even the crew members laughed a little, and Sun Ziming also smiled bitterly in his heart. Since he won the Golden Globe and the Oscar for Best Director twice, he has been praised by people. It's not a good feeling to be held up to the altar, the artistic value of the film must be high, and the box office must also be high. Do you think Spielberg doesn't want to make money and can't make two films a year? It's just that I'm burdened by fame, so I have to think carefully about every movie, do everything myself, and spend two or three years to create a classic.

Sun Ziming is different, in addition to being a director, he is also the pillar of the light and shadow company, he has to maintain a certain speed of filming, in order to make the company's golden signboard brighter and brighter, with the rapid development of the light and shadow group, in order to become a media group giant like the times group.

The storyline of "Independence Day" is mentally retarded, and the loopholes in many places can't be filled, so instead of letting film critics scold them, it is better to scold them yourself first, and lower fans' expectations for the artistry of this movie.

It's also a classic to the extreme! What's more, the selling point of this movie is the realistic special effects, those catastrophic scenes that no one has imagined, and it is not an attractive story at all. If it weren't for the fact that Roland was a rookie among rookies, I am afraid that he would not be able to control a huge crew, Sun Ziming might not have directed this big bad movie with a high box office.

"Ok, let's talk about my crew. This is the biggest contributor to this big bad movie, my co-director - Roland Emmerich. Don't laugh, believe in my vision, although this guy can't make literary films, he is a genius commercial film director, but his luck is too inferior, and he has never met anyone who appreciates him!

…… I would like to introduce you to an acquaintance of ours, Mr. Douglas Arnokoski. Now there is a bad saying in Hollywood that Glass is my most faithful dog in China, and I want to tell you that he is one of my most effective assistants. ”

No one in the audience laughed, and everyone fell silent. Douglas is a celebrity in Hollywood, who maneuvers between all kinds of people in all directions, sees people talking about people, talks nonsense, and gets benefits from him, saying that he is a good person; was politely rejected by him, so he naturally poured some dirty water on him, and privately scolded him for being a dog and a man.

Douglas, who was standing in front of Sun Ziming, listened to his boss's introduction, and his heart was warm, this is the leader he is loyal to!

"Everyone knows that I can make two movies a year, which is the fastest in Hollywood, and they are all exclaiming, 'Wow, China Ming may not be the first director in Hollywood, but it is definitely the first day!'

Actually, you are wrong, and that's because the assistant director of each of my movies is a brilliant genius. For example, Douglas next to me, although he has no talent as a director, and it is difficult for him to even write a qualified script, but he has a talent that many people do not possess - coordinating various departments with patience and meticulousness!

In my personal studio, when I decide which film to make, Douglas always prepares all the preparations, just like Chris Columbus did. And me? My job was simple: revise the script, find the best fit from the list of actors Douglas provided, and then crouch behind the monitor to curse or compliment. ……”

The third brother in the guest seat in the audience looked at his grandson on the stage and sighed secretly. Guozhong is right, his fifth brother has already shown his heroic posture!

Killing decisively is as light as a weight, reckless and unscrupulous for the sake of the end; Usually, he spares no effort to buy people's hearts, firmly hold his subordinates by his side, and give people the impression of benevolence and fraternity, which is the style of doing things.

"Of course, everyone has to believe in our talent, this movie is certainly not artistic, but it is definitely a commercial blockbuster, it is a movie that absolutely makes people scream! Well, let's enjoy "Independence Day", a classic popcorn movie, and also a masterpiece of light and shadow special effects company technology! ”

After a few minutes of impromptu speeches, the long-awaited "Independence Day" also lifted its mystery. Film critics, fans, and guests who were lowered by the impromptu speeches also began to watch this special effects blockbuster with a relaxed attitude.

At the beginning of the movie, the screen is full of jubilant Americans partying, marching, and preparing for tomorrow's National Day. Suddenly, a huge spacecraft that had reached hundreds of miles approached Earth, and the radio signals emitted by the spacecraft interfered with the signals of Earth's communication satellites. The alien fleet actually surrounded the Earth in a big way, and the spacecraft released 36 sub-ships with a diameter of 15 miles to fly over the major cities on the earth. The people of the world are confused and frightened, but there are also those who want to welcome the arrival of the alien friendly messenger.

The U.S. government tried to make contact with the aliens, but to no avail, and the president was worried. After learning the information deciphered by computer experts, the president hurriedly ordered the evacuation, but it was too late. The alien spaceship begins a deadly assault on the world's largest cities. The Golden Gate Bridge was bombed, the Statue of Liberty fell, and the Eiffel Tower became a twisted iron frame ....... Alien flying machines are wreaking havoc everywhere, and there are chaotic scenes of human panic everywhere.

When the war began, U.S. President Thomas Pullman bravely made a televised speech in front of the White House, calling on the world to join forces against foreign aggression and turn July 4 into Independence Day.

'Good morning. Within an hour, the warplanes here will join forces with those from the rest of the world in the largest air battle in human history. Humanity is a word that has taken on a whole new meaning for us today. We can no longer afford to be wasted by insignificant differences between us. We should unite for our common good.

Perhaps as fate would have it, today is the 4th of July, and you will once again fight for our freedom, not to be free from tyranny, oppression and cruelty, but for our continued existence. Today, if we win this war, July 4 will not just be an American holiday as we know it, but a day when the world declares with one voice, "We will not go into darkness without a silent voice, we will not give up the struggle and die." We will continue to live, and we will continue to live. Just today, let's celebrate our Independence Day! ’

No sooner had Thomas finished his televised speech than the scrambling agents picked him up and ran into the underground passage. The White House, the symbol of the United States, was reduced to ruins as soon as the president walked into the underground fortress amid the exclamations of the audience.

With Thomas's call, the countries of the world have united, and the earthlings have launched a full-scale counterattack on the aliens.

Finally the hero appears, and the pilot, Steven, manages to lure an alien combat airship into crashing and dragging the injured alien back to the base.

Those who survived the attack began to try to escape, and the president, together with computer expert David and others, left the capital on Air Force One.

At this time of crisis, the Minister of Defense finally revealed a shocking secret, Area 51 was stored, and more than fifty years ago, a crashed alien airship was collected. For more than 50 years, scientists have been studying the crashed airship, but the current president is ignorant of the personal ambitions of the defense minister, thus failing to prevent the tragedy from happening early.

In the heavily defended and ordinary-looking Area 51, computer expert David has come up with a way to use a computer virus to render the aliens' protective force field ineffective.

Through the efforts of scientists, the 50-year-old airship has finally been restored, and Steven will pilot the airship to infiltrate the alien mothership with David. At the same time, the United States signaled a general counteroffensive to the remnants of the armies of countries around the world.

After a hard battle, Steven and David managed to break into the aliens' mothership and import the virus, disarming the aliens' protective force field. Steven and David shoot a nuclear bomb into the center of the alien mothership, and in the nick of time, escape from the alien mothership.

The aliens are defeated, and David and Steven return unharmed. Humanity has finally survived, and at the last moment, the alien invaders have been eliminated, and on the ruins, humanity will begin to rebuild its home
