CHAPTER 144: THE HOST (3)
"Did you see that?"
"In the middle of the water...... There's something black...... Huge stuff...... Did you see that? ”
"It's ...... Deep ...... Underwater
A figure jumped off the bridge screaming, as if to speak of dissatisfaction with the world.
In the dark water, the title of the film appears: Monster.
"Like...... It's very good......" In other theaters, a young man pushed his glasses and said excitedly, "This beginning is very attractive to me!" ”
"Indeed...... Nothing special...... But...... Well...... It's just a very attractive feeling......"
In the premiere hall of "Progressive Approach...... a film critic knocked down a line on his hand and said to himself, "Very skillful progressive technique." ”
"In the beginning, monsters were born. Immediately after, when the monster was a child, someone even described the appearance of the monster, many legs...... Subsequently, it is a psychological suggestion made by the person who jumped into the river, telling him that there is a huge thing under the water......"
He stopped abruptly and looked up in displeasure.
Because the colleague next to him was looking at him.
Although plagiarism is impossible, it is the rule of the trade, but he is also very unhappy.
But as soon as he raised his head, his face was respectful.
"Ms. Choi Kwang-hee...... "He didn't dare to offend, but the other party was a famous film critic in the Korean film and television industry, vice president of Dankook University, and his status was far higher than him.
Cui Guangji didn't look at him, but said to his miniature handholder, "That's all?" ”
"That's all?" The man was a little baffled.
"I mean, that's all you have to say?" Cui Guangji frowned and said, "You don't see the deeper meaning?" ”
Without waiting for the other party to answer, she continued, "You recall the old alien films." Try to compare, what is the difference. ”
The man lowered his head and pondered, Cui Guangji looked at his appearance and sneered, "The originator of the alien film is the American alien, and since then it has formed a unique series. Their process is to discover monsters slowly, and it starts with the death or mutation of people, but this film, on the contrary, tells us at the beginning that there are monsters in the Han River, and how monsters are formed. ”
The man suddenly realized, "Miss Cui, I see it." ”
"It's more than that." Cui Guangji said lightly: "There are not only progressive methods, but also contrasting methods. ”
"You think about it, in the second scene, the monster has appeared, but it can only be held in a cup, and it is not even the size of a frog. But in the third scene, this container becomes the Han River. Someone has been giving psychological hints to the audience that there is a huge monster in this. ”
"How big? How big can that little fish grow in just a few years? The invisible contrast between the Han River and the water cup is also a psychological suggestion. ”
The man slapped his thigh with a sigh, "Miss Choi deserves to be the top film critic in Korea!" ”
"And a third." Choi Kwang-hee continued, "There is always a hunger and thirst marketing in this, in the alien films, many films make the audience feel impatient due to the long prelude before the contact between humans and aliens, but there is no here, Bong Joon-ho has been exposed from the beginning, but it has always been covered with a veil, telling us that if the monster exists, people will continue to look forward to when the monster will come out." ”
The man was a little stunned, three sets of pictures, according to the timeline, there were so many mysteries hidden in them, and he only saw the first layer.
"Help me record this, I'm going to go back and write this, there's a problem with the computer." Cui Guangji patted her small notebook irritably, and said with annoyance, "Sure enough, I should still use Samsung......
Immediately, her eyes sparkled at the screen, "Upside-down monster movie, Bong Joon-ho...... You're really a genius, no wonder Yingxing will weigh a lot of treasure for you, I want to see, what kind of monster your monster is! ”
The picture then changes from gloomy rain to a bright day.
Under the sun, a close-up of Lin Xiao appeared.
"This is the Chinese artist that Yingxing will find?" A media reporter scoffed, "Dumbfounded." ”
"Hehe, his worth has surpassed all Korean artists. You'd better be careful when you speak. The people next to him laughed and said, "Someone else is an American artist, and he just pulled Warner down, don't you know?" ”
The reporter suddenly stopped talking.
In other theaters, the rare ladies with heavy tastes suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, that's good...... It's the type I like. ”
The father played by Bian Xifeng pulled him up by the hair, but found that the other party had a few coins on his face, and the audience suddenly burst into laughter.
Immediately after that, there is the family that expresses the protagonist, a daughter, an uncle, and his father, sister, and a family of five, running a commissary on the banks of the Han River, a very ordinary family, and most importantly, highlighting the waste of Park Kang-doo.
"This artist is good." Cui Guangji suddenly spoke, and said with interest, "It's very natural, not pretentious at all, unlike some artists, what they play is not a waste of the role, but a waste of himself." ”
"Then he's ......"
Cui Guangji smiled, "It's all wasted, from the beginning to the bones, you will feel that he is a waste when you see him." ”
The person next to him suddenly stopped talking, Cui Guangji sounded like a scolding, but in fact, everyone understood it, this was a compliment to what the other party acted like.
Eleven minutes, Park Kangdou, who was hanging on his shoulders, went to deliver snacks to customers, but no one expected that the climax suddenly happened.
"Look, what's that?" On the screen, a traveler pointed to one side and said.
"Cranes? Boom? ”
"What...... It's alive, and I saw it moving! ”
In the midst of the gossip, the camera shifted, and under the bridge, an unknown object hanging under the bridge appeared.
Suddenly, everyone's nerves tensed.
Alien films, the biggest protagonist, is never a person, but the alien! Even if he is named the hero and heroine, if he is selected, he can only be the best supporting actor award.
"It's coming!" In various theaters, many lovers of horror movies, disaster movies, thrillers, and alien films have widened their eyes.
The trio of the first three sets of pictures, the foreshadowing planted by them completely exploded at this moment, and they only felt that their hearts were suddenly grasped, but they also felt that something was different.
It's different from what I expected, but it's extremely exciting.
No one's eyes were willing to take their eyes off the screen, and in the next second, there was a low exclamation in the theater.
Some female lovers of alien films covered their mouths in surprise and looked at the screen in amazement, while male lovers immediately praised without hesitation.
"Good!" "Beautiful!" "Is this really a Korean movie?" "I thought it was a Hollywood blockbuster!"
In the scene just now, a huge creature stretched its whole body and fell into the water freely from the Yuanxiao Bridge, even the tail, fins, and towering back were all clearly seen!
"It's so handsome!" One boy said excitedly, "I always thought that only Hollywood could make such good special effects!" How can our country do so well?! ”
"What a pity! The monster is jumping with its back to us! Didn't see the front of it! ”
"It's so realistic, I even thought it was a hallucination for a moment!"
And in the premiere hall, the eyes of film critics, who were even more vicious, lit up.
"Well done! Monster! A middle-aged man chuckled and patted the armrest, and the people next to him looked sideways.
Zheng Shengren, and Choi Kwang-hee are also among the top film critics in South Korea, known for their poisonous tongue, and the films he has criticized are eager to be recast, and almost every film he praises has made good profits.
No one refutes it, just from the scene just now, everyone knows where the 10 billion won of this film has been spent.
"Alien films, monsters are the protagonists! Whether the monster does well or not represents half of the success or failure of this film! For example, Alien, whose designers are a collection of the UK's top PhDs in biology. It's just a shot, but it shows that it's really a special effect that costs a lot of money! Perfect! ”
"Those movements are simply a living thing, although my intellect tells me that it can never be true, but the eyes believe it!"
On the other side, Cui Guangji was also full of praise.
"The significance of this monster is epoch-making for the Asia-Pacific film and television industry." Her evaluation was higher than that of Zheng Shengren, and she whispered to herself, "China, Japan and South Korea, there has never been a real alien film, as if this world-famous series has nothing to do with Asia, but now there is!" ”
Although her voice was not high, the person next to her heard it and laughed softly, "Miss Cui, there is also an Ultraman series in Japan." ”
"Don't compare this monster to those shoddy things."
Lin Xiao sat in the front row, listening to the sounds around him, and when he looked around, he happened to meet Bong Junhao's shining gaze.
This scene still happened. He was also a little excited in his heart, the reason why the Han River monster has such a high status and can sweep so many awards is not only the reason for satirizing South Korea, but more importantly, it is recognized as the first alien film in the Asia-Pacific region, no matter which country, in all film history!
The Blue Dragon Award, various awards were given to it, the Asia-Pacific Film and Television Award, it was also given to him, and even the last Cannes took it as a premiere film.
The impact is far-reaching, and it is by no means felt by those who look at it after a few years.
Billions of won in special effects fees, King Kong, the special effects team of The Lord of the Rings, did not disappoint! In the early months, I gathered elite biology doctors, and started the tedious project of doing model drawings from a fish, and got perfect feedback at this moment!
He quietly glanced at Roh Moo-hyun in the rows behind him, although he could only see a single figure, but he already laughed secretly in his heart.
"If President Lu is still laughing now, I'm afraid he won't be able to laugh after a while."
The "king's man" who changed the Korean aesthetic met the "monster", the originator of Asia-Pacific monster movies, "each screen is their killing field!"
This holy war, both human and non-human, exudes unparalleled charm!
