"Iron Man is great, the action is grand, and the audience reacts strongly!"

The report was quickly sent to Abbas, the acting president of Colombia, via SMS.

Abbas chewed his cigar and looked at the text messages on his mobile phone, the cigarette butt lit and darkened.

"What's wrong, man?"

Big director Sam Raimi asked him.

Abbas shrugged, "Maybe you're right, that China Yi is really a tough guy to deal with...... It looks like I'm underestimating him, and our people are getting word that his show is great! ”

Being able to make the opponent say that it is great proves that this drama is really great.

Sam Raimi sighed, he had never underestimated Yi Feiyang, but in front of him, it seemed that this opponent was still stronger than he imagined.

"But don't worry, Sam, we have more than 5,000 theaters in North America, including tens of thousands overseas! As for their fantasy entertainment, the original 8,000 theaters only got more than 5,000, and there are only more than 2,000 in North America, so we won at the box office! Abbas laughed and flicked the ashes of his cigarette, his gesture contemptuous and disdainful, as if in his eyes, what if Yi Feiyang's work was excellent? In his opinion, it was all a pointless death throe.

Sam Raimi didn't speak, because he suddenly had the delusion that if he could win over Yi Feiyang with the theater chain alone, then the whole war would be too easy to win.

But everyone knows that China Yi is the legendary magician, Miraculous Yang, the son of God, who has appeared one miracle after another in his hands.

Whenever his opponent thought he could completely crush him, Yi Feiyang would suddenly reverse. Give you a mouthful.

"I hope I can really win this time!" Sam Raimi thought so.

……

Over time. "Iron Man" and "Spider-Man" were both released to the climax.

Among them, "Spider-Man" and the Green Goblin started a fight to the death. And "Iron Man" is ready to start a life-and-death battle with the Iron Monster.

In different movie theaters, all the audience was stunned by the cool special effects technology of the two films.

Let's start with an unparalleled special effects shot in the play "Spider-Man" - the fierce fight between Spider-Man and the Green Goblin on a tall building. There are more than 100 special effects shots in this short few minutes, and since New York doesn't have the antique high-rise that director Sam Raimi wants, the pre-shot part of this spectacular fight scene was done in Chicago.

In the end, the production team fused footage from Chicago and New York with a set of model footage, and the use of blue screen and other techniques made the final result as a picture in a comic strip.

Admittedly, there are some shots that are fantastic. But in the end, it was the fight special effects, the ideas of a good director, and the perfect editing that combined to make this film a great success.

Look back at Iron Man.

As a Chinese director, Yi Feiyang directed such a blockbuster for the first time, in addition to the pursuit of perfect special effects, he even integrated his favorite Hong Kong action movie elements into it, the scene of the attack from the straddle is reminiscent of many classic Hong Kong martial arts action movies, such as "Fang Shiyu", "Wong Fei Hung" and so on. The action scenes in this play almost all follow Yi Feiyang's routine, explosions, flames, and then a car rushes out of the flames. High-rise building collapse...... Few people will realize that this play is actually ushering in a new revolution in film technology.

Kung fu. has always been the trump card in Hong Kong action movies, known for being "fast", "ruthless" and "accurate", but as the first Chinese director, Yi Feiyang also showed an extremely slow beauty when emphasizing the "fast" of Iron Man's "kung fu". For example, there is a scene where terrorists shoot at him wildly. Yi Feiyang directly made those bullets and cannonballs pause, as if frozen in the air, and then the camera kept turning, so that people could observe this beautiful slow motion in 360 degrees.

People look at this footage and take it for granted, but only Yi Feiyang knows how this is generated. That's because he thought that a comic book could present a lot of beautiful shots, and it could make the action still. This is where Yi Feiyang's inspiration comes from, and slow motion can make action scenes look more textured. So he came up with a way to achieve this effect, using the method of moving the camera, trying to shoot a target at a very slow speed, and then moving the camera around it at a normal speed.

In the beginning, the big guy came up with a bold idea. A small transmitter is strapped to the camera so that the camera can move at a very fast speed. But the test proved that this method did not work, and there were cameras that suddenly exploded in the middle of the process.

Later, Stan Winston, the special effects supervisor of Dream Entertainment, came up with the idea of placing a circle of cameras around the target, which would allow the camera to quickly capture each shot in succession before processing the shots. The previous special effects were almost all modeled after those used in TV commercials, music videos, or other films, but this one is different. Not only does it show its unique charm, but it also makes for the best stunt moment in Iron Man.

In general, it is precisely because of Yi Feiyang's spirit of excellence in special effects that the special effects technology of "Iron Man" is higher than that of "Spider-Man". This not only stems from Yi Feiyang's special grasp and treatment of action movies - don't forget, as mentioned earlier, the Chinese are the best at shooting action movies, especially borrowing the high difficulty in martial arts into this play, Iron Man and Steel Monster have become martial arts masters, destroying a building with one punch, kicking a plane with one leg, it can be said that Yi Feiyang used all the elements in the new martial arts movie in this play.

In addition, as a person who has come before, Yi Feiyang definitely knows the development and application of special effects technology.

As we all know, some of the world's blockbusters have even invested hundreds of millions of dollars, and the shooting time lasted for several years. Such a blockbuster, no matter which one, is inseparable from the use of movie stunts, wonderful tense and changing storylines, magnificent and bizarre scenes, and the hard work of many movie stars. All of them have completely impressed every audience who has watched these films.

It can be said that Hollywood is a real blockbuster these days. In fact, it has entered the Warring States period of special effects production!

And when it comes to the film director who uses high-tech computer stunts in movies, he is handy and free. I can't mention two people, they are both world-famous film directors, both of whom are famous in the international film industry for directing super sci-fi blockbusters with incredible plots and stunts throughout the film, they are Spielberg and Cameron.

America's most famous science fiction director, known to audiences for his famous blockbusters such as "Jaws", "Jurassic Park", "Schindler's List", and "Saving Private Ryan", Stephen Brown. Spielberg has used high-tech computer stunts in almost every film since he became famous.

For example, the various prehistoric animals in "Jurassic Park" that come to life on the movie screen - dinosaurs; The fierce and spectacular battle scenes at the time of landing in "Saving Private Ryan" are all using high-tech computer stunts to complete the shooting scenes that ordinary people can't do, and these fantasy storylines give the audience an unprecedented bizarre feeling and cause great repercussions. Spielberg's films have become almost synonymous with guaranteed box office receipts in cinemas. "Jurassic Park," which was shot at $70 million alone, earned more than $1 billion at the box office.

and filmed "Terminator" and "Titanic". James, the director of "Avatar"? Cameron is undoubtedly one of the most compelling directors of the 20th century, he has set the highest film investment record three times, and has also shot two of the world's highest-grossing films of all time, no one has surpassed every film he has ever made, the pursuit of the ultimate visual effects at any cost, the work is full of imagination and shock, the director who has been paranoid all his life, almost frantically lifted the Oscar at the awards party, and said the famous line in the film: "I am the king of the world!" At that moment, he deserved it. Each of his films has also set a technical benchmark for future films. Waiting for future generations to go forward and succeed in trying to surpass.

Now, all Yi Feiyang has to do is-

Beyond Cameron!

Beyond Spielberg!

Obviously. This "Iron Man" is Yi Feiyang's "test of the waters" that surpasses the two masters!

……

In the Tang Cinema, all the audience was shocked by the amazing special effects in front of the play "Iron Man".

Iron Man is about to have the strongest opponent!

Whether or not the villain played by Cage can form a threat enough is the key to how far the film can reach in the end, and obviously the audience doesn't have to worry about this at all, what they are starting to worry about now is ...... Can Donnie, the "Iron Man," defeat Cage, the cigar-biting villain......

"I've got to find the weapons I sold and destroy them." Tony Stark, played by Donnie on the screen, looked at his lover with melancholy eyes and confessed: "I shouldn't have lived unless I did these things...... This scene moved countless female fans, and they couldn't wait to go up and hug Tony Stark on the screen immediately......

Robert Downey Jr., who was sitting in the front row of the theater, suddenly received a notebook stretched out from the back, which read: "Downey, you played so well, are you free tonight?" And then there was a lip print underneath, and the phone number and an email address were attached to the payment.

Downey looked back and saw CNN's beautiful anchor Emid looking at this side and smiling, and Downey was also embarrassed...... Because of her successive scandals, this beautiful anchor was famous for hating herself before, and she was very cold to herself in several interviews...... How did the attitude turn 180 degrees now......?

A good role is like this, it will make people forget the original impression of the actor in their minds, and when everyone identifies with Tony Stark on the screen, they also begin to re-identify with Robert Downey Jr. who plays him...... That's the power of good work.

In the subtle change of atmosphere, the plot continues, and Cage and Downey begin to go head-to-head.

In Tony Stark's living room, Cage's Obadistein paralyzes his nerves with an audio weapon, slowly pulls the nuclear-powered energy engine out of his chest, and says in a confident and slow tone:

"You know, when I ordered your assassination. I'm worried that I'm killing a chicken that lays golden eggs. And now this thing is your last golden egg......"

Obadistein stomps on the couch. Looking up close at Tony Stark, who has lost his ability to move and is shocked by the audio, his bloodshot eyes are shocked by the audio, as if he is admiring the dying throes of his prey.

"Your father made the atomic bomb for us back then, if he was as selfish as you were then, what would the world become?!"

Obadistein played with the white-glowing nuclear power energy engine, put his arm around Tony Stark's shoulder, and exclaimed in intoxication, "Oh...... Tony, it's so beautiful~ It's your destiny symphony...... It's a masterpiece...... Look~This is also your relic~~" And Tom Cruise stared at him without flinching. There was no fear.

At this moment, Nicolas Cage and Robert Downey Jr. are acting against each other, which makes people dare not even take a breath of air, and film critics are also dazzled, but this dialogue is performed by the two fascinatingly, which is not unrelated to their temperament explosion!

Today, Cage performed an explosive line that surpassed the past...... And Donnie ...... The actor, who has been acting with violent limbs and yelling, only expressed his surging emotions with the subtle expressions of his face and eyes, as well as the slight tremor of his body......

As a Hollywood actor, Cage has a very wonderful element, which can not only produce a subtle chemistry in the-for-tat plot, which is the condensed temperament in his heart for many years; And Donnie is not weaker than him in any way with an extremely restrained and wonderful silent performance......

Everyone was tightly attracted by the explosion of the two of them...... On the screen, Obadistein gets the most critical components. FINALLY MADE HIS ULTIMATE WEAPON, THE MARK1 SUPER MODEL AS HUGE AS OPTIMUS PRIME...... Look at this terrifying beast-like war machine. It made all the audience gasp......

As the war monster prepares to take off in sunny downtown Los Angeles, the atmosphere suddenly becomes tense, and the mere roar of his powerful spaceship-like motor makes the hearts of those seated tremble, as if the entire theater is rumbling......

Decisive battle!

Decisive battle!!!

……

On the big screen, the big bad guy played by Nicolas Cage drove the behemoth MARK1 to chase and kill the heroine in the center of Los Angeles and wantonly destroyed buildings and streets, the whole city was thrown into chaos, people fled for their lives, and the American army also arrived at the scene of the crisis in the fastest time.

Fighter groups in the sky obscured the sky, armored Humvees on the ground, tanks of all kinds, self-propelled missile launchers, armored vehicles of all kinds of equipment, and countless pieces of equipment, densely packed on the wide streets of downtown Los Angeles......

The special effects of the scene are so real and gorgeous, the picture composition is still so open and clear, and the war scenes are so vast...... Whoever watched it would be amazed at how such a grand scene was filmed? Is it real or virtual?! If it is true, how can it be possible to design such a perfect and spectacular scene? If it's virtual, why is it so real?!

In fact, in this era, of course, many details can be replaced by pure virtual special effects, but the effect brought to people is more than several times worse, and the physical equipment props and special effects method of "Iron Man" is a shocking effect burned with money, technology and hard work.

For this last ten shots alone, the crew of "Iron Man" spent nearly 100 million US dollars...... It is so that the audience can see this large scene, which contains various advanced armed forces in the United States, using panoramic lenses and long lenses to let the audience have a clear view of the scene......

This visual presentation on the huge screen of the theater is incomparable......

The most exciting scene began, when the red MRAK3 Iron Man fell from the sky, the audience's emotions that had been suppressed for a long time were finally released, and some people even couldn't help cheering......

"Tony, you shouldn't be here, I've been assisting you for 30 years, I've built the company, but I didn't get anything, and now no one can stop me." Cage sends an electronic voice from the mechanical speaker like a curse on the city from the devil, which makes people shudder.

Iron Knight, played by Downey, rushes forward without hesitation, and the two Iron Men start a shocking battle in this city......

Lacking energy and a 10-fold difference in size, Iron Man played by Downey was hit by powerful steel monsters again and again, but he still kept looking at all the innocent people in his sight. Move to a safe place......

Save others first...... Then Iron Man, covered in bruises, watched his opponent activate the motor. The golden mask once again radiated a dazzling light......

Like a lot of hero movies. In the beginning, for some reason, our hero was beaten down by the bad guys - mostly because his girlfriend was kidnapped, or his parents were threatened, but this one is better because it is to divert the common people.

Then the hero rises, turns defeat into victory and beats the big bad guy, and the more he suffers before, the worse he fights. The more comfortable the audience will see.

And this is also a commonly used practice in movies, called the principle of psychological gap compensation, everything is to hit the audience's G~point, in order to let them achieve the most refreshing effect when they are at high ~ tide.

Obviously, the effect deliberately created by Yi Feiyang has been achieved.

……

On the big screen, Iron Man, who had saved people, began to fight back, and the golden mask once again emitted a dazzling light......

Although Tony Stark, played by Donnie, didn't say anything, the same line sounded in the minds of all the audience: "It's your turn~!" Scoundrel~!! ”

Iron Man is here, and he uses the last of his energy to perform his dazzling fighting moves, perfectly combining the high-tech weapons on his body. Show off a fluid and dazzling fighting technique to hit a steel monster like a giant beast, and then ride on this monster. Like all heroes, punch and punch that bastard!

"Good~!" "Good~!" "Good~!" The comic fans in the back row couldn't hold back their excitement anymore, it was like after watching a symphony, they all stood up and shouted hello!

In fact, when Downey's transformed Iron Man punched the Iron Monster, all the audience let out the most pleasant smiles, and some of the sensitive ladies were even getting wet underneath!

If Yi Feiyang knew this, he would definitely shout, God, this is a science fiction movie, not a movie!

In the end, Tony Stark, who was bruised all over his body, escaped from his armor and started a new fight on the balcony, and when Cage's villain card was finally shot by Stan Lee, who made a cameo, he ended his life, "Whew! More than 2,000 North American movie screens breathed a sigh of relief in front of the sound, and finally won, after a suffocating scene, many fully engaged audiences felt a sense of exhaustion, as if they were fighting just now, and this is the legendary sense of substitution!

……

The battle is over.

On the screen, the victors were honored, and Downey gave a speech in front of the black crowd: "Because each of us has the qualifications to be a hero, a hero should be able to live in the light!" Accepting the praise of the world is what a hero deserves......"

The colonel next to him came over and kindly reminded him, "Read according to the script." ”

"Okay......" Donnie took a deep breath, picked up the manuscript, hesitated for a moment, and then stared at the camera, as if looking into everyone's heart, after a long pause......

The audience's hearts were in their throats, and everyone had a premonition of what he was going to do, but no one dared to believe it.

"I'm Iron Man." Downey announced in a deep voice.

"Wow~!!" More than 100 reporters stood up in shock, and the flashing lights "snapped, and every reporter had a shocked expression on his face."

Against the background of strong lighting, Stark, the male protagonist played by Donnie with a straight face, looked at the camera, with a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, as if looking at the reporter, as if looking at the woman who had ridiculed him, more like looking at the audience through the camera, looking at the audience's knowing smile, the camera was fixed on his charming smile, pleasant music sounded, and the director of the end credits appeared one by one.

With the phrase "I am steel", everyone's long-suppressed mood finally broke out, and everyone bounced up from their seats as excitedly as reporters.

"Oh my God! He confessed! ”

"Wow! That's cool! ”

Exclamations rang out, and excited and joyful smiles appeared on everyone's faces.

"Great, Tony!"

"I love you, Tony!"

The excited audience in the theater stood up and let out screams and thunderous applause, even overpowering the sound of the ending song.

Many conservative-minded film critics stood in their seats and looked at this scene with their mouths wide open, how is this possible!? How dare Yi Feiyang do this!?

Why are they so surprised?

It stems from the principle that many Hollywood heroes uphold the principle that heroes must never say that they are "heroes"!

For example, Spider-Man in "Spider-Man" always wears a mask, Superman's girlfriend never knows that his colleague is Superman, and Batman always refuses to reveal his identity, but this play is ......

Undoubtedly, Yi Feiyang broke the law of heroes and designed this very awesome line - "I am Iron Man!" ”

Applause!

Applause!

Extremely warm applause!

The overwhelming direction was to drown Yi Feiyang and others!

One minute!

Two minutes!

Three minutes!

It went on for a long, long time!

At that moment, Yi Feiyang knew that he had done it, yes, he had done it!

Become a real Hollywood director himself!

I have the ability to direct blockbusters, and I have told everyone that I am Yi Feiyang, a god who creates miracles!

……

At the same time, Sam Raimi's sci-fi film "Spider-Man" was also screened, and applause also rang out in more than 5,000 theaters under the umbrella of Columbia, although these applause were not as enthusiastic as "Iron Man", but they were also like thunder.

This night, the two great directors took out their own carefully created works, and many people had no sleep this night.

Expect!

Everyone is looking forward to the official start of the real life-and-death box office battle after the premiere! (To be continued......)
