Christmas 1962.

Alex's "Red Dawn" has finally been released.

When the aerial combat scene was filmed, "Red Dawn" entered the intense editing stage, and the full version was quickly released. Before it could be approved, Alex sent it to the desert base for Hughes to see.

First place viewer, Hughes? After watching this movie, Howard was completely shocked by the scenes and scenes in the film. He was so excited that he almost froze, and it took a long time for him to wake up from the atmosphere created by the film.

Hughes himself has also been a director and has a lot of experience in making movies. When he first shot "Hell's Angel", in order to pursue realistic effects, he invested millions of dollars and destroyed hundreds of planes. After shooting several times, I barely managed to come up with a satisfactory version.

But when he watched Alex's "Red Dawn", he couldn't figure out how such an exciting, tense, and realistic aerial battle was filmed.

In the film, one AC130 and two F16s fight, and it's just like the real thing. In the end, all these planes were blown into flames and completely burned down, and those shots made people like him feel shocked when they saw them.

Although Hughes knew that the footage of the plane fighting and explosion was fake, he was still shocked.

"Damn, how the hell did this come about!"

Hughes clenched his fists and wanted to call Alex to ask about it, but he felt it was too uncharacteristable to do so. Immediately put your hands down. After doing this several times in a row, he finally couldn't help it, and still called in person to ask for the answer.

After receiving the call, Alex did not take the time to explain to him, but directly sent several DreamWorks employees to explain to Hughes. When filming these shots, Alex deliberately wanted to train his employees in the skills of shooting special effects for films, so that some DreamWorks employees also learned from them, and also recorded some instructional videos for shooting "Red Dawn" on the spot.

These techniques may be invaluable to others. But for Alex. That's just a trick for fun. If he has the opportunity, he is still willing to improve the level of film shooting in the entire era as soon as possible, so that when he shoots movies in the future, he will not have to spend so much energy to fix this kind of thing himself.

If it is in the Hereafter. Alex didn't even have to shoot it himself. All he had to do was put a lot of money into it. You can achieve your own goals. Whether it's for entertainment or politics, as long as the goal is achieved, he doesn't care how the film was made.

After the film is sent for approval. It was quickly passed. Basically, there is no cut, this film is not only good-looking, but also very much in line with the main theme of American society: "Foreign forces colluded with the traitors in the White House inside and outside, contributed to the White House, captured the president, and tried to control the nuclear button to destroy the United States, but the brave actor turned the tide and not only saved the president at the critical moment, but also sabotaged the conspiracy of terrorists, and finally became a big hero in the whole United States." ”

Although this film, in the last easter egg, hides a trace of dark and worrying conspiracy theory suspense. But for Americans, such an outcome is even more surprising, but it makes sense.

When the film was approved, DreamWorks only promoted it a little, and immediately arranged enough theatrical releases, and did not even have a premiere. Because this film has been promoted so much for a long time, it can be released without too much publicity. In addition, Alex's purpose is not to make money, but to form public opinion as soon as possible, instill the concept of the Internet to the public, and then influence the decision-making of government departments. Of course, he hopes that the sooner it will be released, the better, so as not to delay his Internet plan for a long time.

The cinema was filled with audiences.

Most of them are fans of the Carpenter siblings, or fans who have trusted DreamWorks' reputation for many years, and when the movie was released, they immediately bought tickets to watch it.

At the beginning of the movie, it is a Soviet-style conference room. Through the subtitles, the audience learned that it was in Klimt Palace. They saw several figures similar to the leaders of the three generations of the Soviet Union, as well as the leaders of the Soviet military gathered around the table, although many did not understand Russian, but from the English on the subtitles, they immediately understood: "This is the Soviet leader discussing how to attack the United States!" ”

It's really amazing!

Was it the rhythm of the war between the United States and the Soviet Union in the first place? Will there be a nuclear war? What should be done if the Soviet army invaded the United States?

With this in mind, the audience lifted their spirits and looked at the letters intently. Even those film critics were deeply attracted by Alex's beginning. It is important to know that in the United States, not long after the Cuban Missile Crisis, there has always been a large market for doomsday theory, nuclear war, and the Third World War.

Some scientists have even given a countdown to the "end time", and at the time of the Cuban crisis, it had already entered the "midnight" time, which is the so-called stage of the outbreak of nuclear war.

All kinds of war rhetoric, all kinds of nuclear war clouds, and the fact that the United States was fighting Vietnam at this time, and more and more American soldiers were dying in foreign lands, made all Americans afraid that they would be able to sleep well today, and that they would wake up tomorrow and be deep in the world of the end of the world.

This opening of Alex immediately captures people's psychology and makes people have to watch it with great interest.

They soon learned that the Soviet Union had long been prepared for war, but because the United States had developed a "Skynet" system to closely link the "three-headed dogs of hell", once the Soviet Union used force, even if the United States was bombed into ruins, the "skynet" would be triggered, and the United States would release the "three-headed dogs of hell" and completely end up together.

The "three-headed dog of hell" is well understood, and it should be a kind of defensive counterattack measure against nuclear weapons, but what exactly is that "Skynet" actually gave the Soviet leaders a big headache, believing that only by realizing the solution of this "Skynet" can they attack the United States.

In the end, the Soviets were due to the presence of "Skynet". Plans to invade the United States were abandoned.

Seeing this, many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. At the same time, they also understood the meaning of this fragment, that is, it was as if someone raised a sharp blade above his head and was about to stab it with a fierce blow, but found that in this way everyone would have to die together, and finally the man gave up the attack, and everyone was safe.

Soon, they understood what "Skynet" was. It turned out to be a network technology that could connect all the computers. Data information can be exchanged with each other. Even if the whole of America is under nuclear attack. As long as some of them exist, they can ensure that the United States will launch all the remaining nuclear weapons to the designated destinations.

At the same time, they saw the use of this technique among the people. Make people's lives more comfortable, convenient, safe, and so on.

"Is that the Internet?" Some viewers asked softly. He said to his friends, "If only there really were such a skill." ”

His friend immediately laughed and said, "This technique has already been there for a long time. I read in a computer magazine that the Internet technology developed by Ark is ready to be put into use. ”

"Huh? Is there really such a technique? ”

Not only was the audience surprised, but even the people next to him were interested in sticking their heads and saying, "yes." Oh, yes! My friend works at Ark, and they use this kind of network in the company, but they have a local area network, and they can only connect one company's computers. And the movie is to connect the computers of the whole United States, and even the whole world! ”

"Wow, that's amazing!" Everyone exclaimed.

Alex's film deliberately obscures the information of the times at the beginning, and also puts Lenin, Stalin, and Khrushchev together, which makes everyone feel like they will smile when they watch it.

However, at the very beginning, the film showed a relatively high level of technology. People can see in all kinds of details, such as small and delicate communication machines and mobile phones, such as laptops as thin as books, and so on.

All kinds of high-end technology make people feel like they are in the future, but the atmosphere in the film is very close to this era, and it is still a world of constant war. As for the family of the President of the United States in the film, their demeanor and appearance are similar to that of President Kennedy's family, which makes people feel very familiar when they watch it.

Gradually, the main character appears, and the storyline continues to advance.

A beautiful viewer said to her best friend: "I didn't expect Mike to look so manly, I really want to find a boyfriend like him." ”

"Oh, can't you see that? Mike is Alex! Her best friend replied.

"Huh? Alex? The beauty's mouth grew in surprise, and it was only then that she realized that Mike was the male lead, and Alex was Mike's actor!

Looking at Mike in the film, people almost couldn't recognize him as played by Alex, and even thought that if it wasn't for the fact that there was a clip of the hero's growth experience, so that the audience could connect these two people, no one would dare to be sure that Alex had starred in the film.

Mike, who is in the film, has received rigorous training since he was a child, joined the army very early, and also went to Vietnam to fight the war for several years. After his return, he was arranged by the government to be with the president and served as a personal bodyguard to protect the president and the president's family 24 hours a day. Because of his handsome appearance and pleasing personality, he was quickly recognized by the president's family and established a friendship with them.

But during a Christmas routine, his work went awry and caused the death of the first lady. Hou Lan, the president was afraid of touching the situation, so he adjusted Mike to a civilian job.

"Alas! Mike is so innocent! How can Mr. President be angry with him! ”

"The president is also miserable, his wife is dead!"

When the audience saw this episode, they all felt sorry for Mike, because it was not his fault. At this time, the film has progressed to about 20 minutes, although there is no scene of the invasion of the Soviet army, but the audience is deeply attracted by the story in the film.

This is followed by a slice of Mike's life as a civilian employee and the president's daughter's reluctance to leave him. Soon, the clip of Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem's visit came to the scene, which was normal at first, but suddenly an AC130 plane broke into the White House no-fly zone.

At this point, the plot began to get excited, and the armed plane called "Hercules" shocked all the audience as soon as it appeared. Like a sky overlord, it broke through the clouds and struck the heart of the U.S. government.

"Wow! This plane is so big! ”

"It's so domineering!"

"This plane is real, right? Is there really such a big armed plane? ”

The pilot's face of the AC130 aircraft was completely obscured by the helmet, and no one could see their appearance clearly, only the chin was exposed. This leaves the audience speculating about where exactly these people came from, and what they think is most likely the "Soviet Union"!

"Could it be that the Soviets sent planes to attack the United States?"

"The Third World War!"

"War! War! ”

The audience looked at their F16 plane and came over to ask, asking the other party to identify themselves immediately, but the plane ignored it at all, and directly opened the hatch, the cannon flashed violently, and an F16 was bombed down. Blast into a fireball in mid-air!

"Boom!"

The explosion in front of them sent people into a panic. At the same time, some people jumped up from their seats excitedly, and some viewers came to watch the directors who stole the master, and they talked a lot about this scene.

"Wow! How did they shoot such a realistic explosion effect? ”

"Did Alex really blow up a plane?"

The answer was almost right. However, Alex blew up a modified plane. And not F16. That plane looks like an F16 on the outside. In fact, it is just an ordinary plane, and from a special point of view, it is exactly the same as the real thing.

on the movie. The pilot of another F16 aircraft immediately shouted: "Headquarters, headquarters!" We are under attack by unidentified aircraft! Repeat, we are under attack! ”

At the same time, the pilot locked the missile onto the AC130 armed aircraft and pressed the button.

I saw two tracking missiles whizzing out, and when they were about to shoot down the AC130, suddenly the mysterious pilot of the plane pressed a special button.

Countless golden rays of light flew out from the belly of the plane, and when viewed from the front, it looked like an angel spreading its golden wings. Looking at it from the side, it was like a cloud of golden light came out, protecting the plane.

"What a gorgeous picture!"

At this moment, the audience's minds went blank, and they were shocked by this image. People in this era have not yet been exposed to the baptism of the gorgeous 3D effects of later generations, and although this clip taken by Alex is completely hand-drawn, it is enough to be realistic and unforgettable.

The clusters of light detonated the missiles in mid-air, rendering the F16's attack useless, and to make matters worse, the AC130 fired at it, and the last American plane was shot down and crashed to the ground, causing panic in the residential area below.

After sweeping away the air power, the AC130 armed aircraft was finally ready to go on a killing spree. It will be highly depressed and will shoot wildly at pedestrians, vehicles, buildings around the streets of the White House.

Along the way, many Americans were killed and injured, and the protective wall outside the White House was breached. And then the White House's defensive strength is completely crippled, it is like a vulture chasing death, constantly circling around the White House.

"Oh! Oh, my God! ”

"OMG!"

"The enemy is so fierce, this plane is too powerful!"

"A lot of people died! It's so miserable! ”

In these shots, powerful bullets are falling from the sky, and some vehicles are even sent flying. Not to mention, those pedestrians who were hit either had their heads blown off, or half of their bodies were lost, and at best, they were missing arms and legs. Such a brutal scene is not often seen even by veterans of war.

Many of the buildings were also shattered by the planes, and they were in flames. This situation has further created more disasters and injuries.

Due to the invasion of enemy aircraft, the leaders of the White House began to evacuate urgently, and even the guests visiting Vietnam also hid in bunkers. In addition to the president, senior officials and others in the White House, the staff working in the White House also began to flee the fighting area.

Unexpectedly, a group of terrorists dressed as tourists came out from all corners, took out guns and ammunition, and killed them over the fence and entered the White House! Many security guards were killed like this, and many White House staff members were killed in the attack. Only Mike, the protagonist played by Alex, did not want to leave the White House in the first place, but escaped by mistake.

Just as the siege was going on outside, the number one villain played by Bruce Lee began to act! (To be continued......)
