Chapter 379. 【God of Miracles】
If the foreshadowing of the previous drama "I Am Legend" was too lengthy and made all the audience want to doze off, then with the appearance of zombies and the further development of the story, people have been deeply trapped in it, and they are swayed by the characters and stories on the big screen.
The next story is wonderful, long gone without the previous verbosity and boredom, but every minute is full of thrills and excitement, especially when the heroine Julie captures the female zombie, the lost leader in order to save her, sends the zombies to constantly pursue Julie, and starts one zombie battle after another.
As one of the male protagonists of this play, Jason Statham, who plays the zombie leader and the head of the Night Devil, can be regarded as exerting the charm of his muscular man, although he is dressed as a zombie, he is full of majestic atmosphere, and even some female viewers with heavy tastes can't help but be when they see him appear: "Wow, what a muscle!" ”
Of course, just having muscles is not enough, the zombie leader played by Jason Statham must also act with his eyes, not like the zombies in the past, with a hideous and expressionless appearance, but to use his eyes to perform the spirit of a new species. Jason did that. In fact, during the filming of this scene, Jason's already bald head became Mediterranean because of excessive makeup, but he did not complain at all. In other words, from the moment he promised Yi Feiyang to appear in this play, he was mentally prepared to be "ruined" and "ravaged" by the director. People say that Yi Feiyang is the god of miracles and a winner of gold, but who knows that there will be so many actors behind him silently supporting him.
As the story unfolds in full, there are bursts of applause from the audience from time to time, as well as screams. Arguably. The plot of the story behind basically exerted the charm of Yi Feiyang's director. There are a few places that can be said to be very exciting.
For example, the heroine drove into the zombie hordes that intercepted her. When the car slammed into the group of zombies. The sound of bangbang was endless, and those zombies were even more powerful, and they were not injured after being hit hard by the car. Continuing to get up, he jumped high and then lay tight on the car. The special effects of this scene are very well used, and it looks particularly good, especially when thousands of zombies pounce on a poor car, which causes everyone in the movie theater to beat fast. The blood is boiling, clenching his fists to cheer for Julie. Every time they heard the crash of the car hitting the zombies, everyone couldn't help but roar, as if they were controlling the car themselves at this moment to face off against the strong and powerful zombie army!
In fact, Yi Feiyang's cleverness is fully reflected here, that is, the original Will Smith was replaced with Angelina Jolie to star, you know, women will look weaker and worthy of sympathy on the big screen. And Julie, as a beauty, is more likely to win the pity of the audience.
Of course, Yi Feiyang is definitely a person who is good at showing off his emotions to win the audience's tears, except for the above scene. There is also a scene where Lassi, the shepherd dog, swears to the death and fights the zombie dog in order to protect the heroine. Yi Feiyang also used computer special effects in this scene. However, the material of the fight was taken from the bloody footage of the underground dog fighting ring, and this scene took Yi Feiyang a lot of effort to get it out of the police station, and then through three-dimensional animation, he simulated the picture of the crazy fight of the dog fighting in the dog fighting ring. Needless to say, it's shocking! Especially when Lassi defeated three with one and died tragically in Julie's arms, all the audience burst into tears, because everyone no longer regarded him as a dog, but as a friend! And the only friend!
In short, at the moment when the shepherd dog Lassi died, the entire movie theater was damp, and everyone was immersed in grief.
Well, as time goes by, it finally arrives at the most arrogative part of the play, and it is also the climax of the film.
When Julie and Anna's mother and daughter were transferred to the laboratory, the zombie leader led his men to the laboratory, and outside the tempered glass, the zombie leader violently pounded wildly with his iron body.
With the roar, accompanied by the hideous faces of a large group of zombies around, and accompanied by tense and terrifying music, fans in thousands of theaters across the United States completely quieted down, and there was no sound at all, as if. They were all standing in the lab at this moment, feeling the tension. The thrill.
Every time the zombie leader hits once, the tempered glass shatters and deepens, and everyone's hearts tremble fiercely.
Once...... Twice...... Three times......
The audience is about to go crazy, and no one knows what will happen in the next second, but everyone is guessing that this tempered glass can resist a few times.
……
After the most reversal, the heroine found that zombies actually knew how to think!
What does this mean?!
All the viewers were stunned by the plot at this time, and the zombie movies they had seen all along were patterned. But this time...... Illustrates the emergence of a new species!
For the first time, a director has recognized a new species through such a film!
Treating zombies as a new species gives understanding and tolerance!
God, this is crazy!
Isn't this a horror movie?
Isn't this your average fast food piece?
Why did the connotation suddenly rise to such a height?!
On the big screen, when the zombie leader picked up the female zombie, and the male and female zombies let out the roar of reunion joy, all the audience was silent, maybe the zombies are not all bad.
When Julie lowered her head and said sorry in a deep voice, all the audience gave her a thumbs up, this is a heroine worthy of respect.
When Julie and Anna leave New York City in the car, the camera gradually blurs, out of focus, and the movie is over!
……
At this time, everyone began to slowly return to reality from their inner thoughts, and they saw that more than 300 people in the entire theater stood up in the dark, and everyone's hands clapped vigorously.
The dense wave-like applause of "Papapa~" is like the most beautiful melody in the world, and all the filmmakers present used this action to pay the highest respect to Dream Entertainment Company for making such a great work. The applause lasted for five minutes.
No one who arranged. And no one went to stand up and organize. Every filmmaker felt a surge of excitement in their hearts at the moment, encouraging themselves to do this, to applaud this movie!
For two hours, they experienced an unprecedented journey to the end of the world, and they felt the splendor of the timeless new faith that the filmmakers' creators believed in conveying.
The first feeling of all people after reading it is, subverted!
Yes, this drama subverts all zombie movie apocalyptic movies and turns zombies into sentient animals!
For such a design. There is only one sentence in many people's hearts: the end may not be terrible! Just the beginning of a new era.
Touched and shocked not in a certain moment, but the soul from beginning to end there is no moment of peace, these two hours contain too much content, let you enjoy and make you crazy, when you are quiet, that unprecedented calm hits, and there are too many emotions.
A lonely woman in the apocalypse, a loyal shepherd dog, a prison-like dwelling, an abandoned city – the story is simple and simple; To save humanity. sacrificing family and oneself, only to find out later. I did it all wrong! What choices God makes is beyond human reach and understanding.
But no matter what state you are in, you can still feel the shock of your heart, even if you are a picky filmmaker, you will still cry and laugh, and you will still feel extremely shocked by this movie.
The filmmakers applauded, not just because of the movie itself, but for Yi Feiyang's incomparable courage~!!
Today, when the wave of Hollywood movies is moving towards pure commercial and good storytellers, ordinary people can't imagine the excitement of filmmakers after watching this movie. Isn't the dull depression at the beginning of "I Am a Legend" a portrayal of people's boring life now? Isn't the cell-like dwelling a satire and mockery of house life? Isn't the fear of zombies the fear of the unknown in the future? In this world where we have lost our faith, no longer believe in God, only believe in the Internet, and believe in the supremacy of money, when we lose everything, we may understand what is the most important thing!
This is not only the picture, special effects and soundtrack are the ultimate beauty, it is as simple as shaping the movie into a "work of art" appearance, what makes people really moved is the precious, brilliant and brilliant light of great human emotions~!
After "Titanic", "Jurassic Park", and "Star Wars", people believe that big scenes, wonderful plots, and eye-catching star actors are the future of movies!
But after watching this movie, Yi Feiyang stood up arrogantly and told them all here! What a big scene, what a wonderful plot! What a star! It's all bullshit! Because these are all about monetizing respect and faith in the movie!
He immersed every mind here in that vast, turbulent and lonely abandoned city, and he looked down at all of them like a god in "I Am Legend" who never showed up, but was always creating new species, and told them, what is a movie? That's the movie!
In the New York Grand Theater, Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp, who are the leading actors, are surrounded by fans and are so excited that they can't help themselves, ask for autographs, and take pictures together.
"Julie, I love you!"
"Julie, you're a heroine!"
"Oh my God, this drama is so lovely!"
……
At the same time, in the Los Angeles Grand Theater, film critics, directors, and producers all poured up, surrounding Yi Feiyang and them, cheering, and shouting and saying that they were instantly overwhelmed.
"Great! Dear Yi. ”
"It's an unbeatable piece."
"Thank you for making me understand what life is."
"This movie is the best zombie movie I've ever seen! Long live China Yi~! ”
Crowded in the center by the crowd, Yi Feiyang looked at this heartfelt excited face, listened to their cheers, let them pat their shoulders excitedly, hugged themselves excitedly, and suddenly felt that everything around him had become in slow motion, he looked back at Anne Hathaway and found that her face was full of happiness and joy, and Jessica Alba was also excited to secretly wipe her tears on the side.
They were surrounded, applauded and congratulated by the most loyal fans and the best fans in the world, hugged by the film critics and producers who had mocked them countless times, and Yi Feiyang looked at these "sworn enemies" who gave him a headache when he first landed in the United States. At the moment, I was moved by my own movie. Subjugate. Excited, when the great happiness brought by these scenes of success in front of him came, this overflowing satisfaction, so wonderful that he could not describe, he smiled and shook hands with everyone, hugged, let the excited peers pat their shoulders, enjoying this incomparably beautiful moment.
Tears. Laughter, screaming, and the emotions of the people who have been suppressed for a long time in the dream entertainment company have exploded, and everyone is roaring and roaring in their hearts~! "I Am Legend" is a success~! We did it~!! Dream Entertainment Company has succeeded~~!!!!
Outside the cheering crowd, Gusta, the president of Lionsgate, moved his steps to get out of the crowd, but he couldn't squeeze through the crowd, he suddenly felt the vigorous strength of the people on the scene, he felt that Yi Feiyang began to become a company owner far more than him, and he thought of Yi Feiyang's previous proposal...... Merge Dream and Lionsgate. There is also the Imperial Gate, a three-strong combination. Domination of Hollywood.
Shaking his head violently, Gusta put this thought away, because he knew that this idea was terrifying, if it merged, there was no doubt that Yi Feiyang would be the first president, so what about himself, did he really want to be a follower?!
Looking helplessly at the cheering crowd, once as Yi Feiyang's friend, Paramount's boss Raymond couldn't help but think of the past, Dream is not so strong, Yi Feiyang is not so powerful, everything seems to be fine, he is the giver and helper, he can hear Yi Feiyang's thanks, hear his gratitude to Paramount. But now, Dream Entertainment, which has grown strong, no longer needs Paramount's handouts.
Yes, Yi Feiyang doesn't need the help of him, the big brother of Paramount, everything has changed! Become unfamiliar to yourself.
And Warner's "Terminator 3" director Jobson, slumped in his seat in a remote and unobtrusive place, looking at all this powerlessly, he felt for the first time that Yi Feiyang has a power beyond all of them...... he has more power than all of them imagined, no matter how much capital he holds, he can't shake it, the majestic power of film art "But it's not over yet, what's the use of a movie, the box office can determine all this." He muttered silently.
Yi Feiyang walked out of the movie theater in the noise of the crowd, and immediately received a call from Angelina from New York, in the mobile phone, Zhu Li's voice was very excited, she shouted:
"Easy, it's great~! Everyone in this theater of mine was stunned~! Giggles, the one next to me was trembling when the night demon appeared, and then he cried a lot after the worst, and Johnny Depp, this bad guy, actually swore to fans that the movie would run naked after the box office exceeded 500 million! Giggles, what a bonus, I'm going to have to post these pictures of them online, the reactions of these people are so funny. ”
Along the way, everyone blessed and greeted, Yi Feiyang broke the subject matter restrictions of previous zombie films with practical actions and created a new form of film.
……
That night, Yi Feiyang, who went home and lay in bed, was thinking about the situation in the theater, listening to the praise of those he respected the most, and the compliments of those who had mocked him so much, he closed his eyes, and felt a wonderful feeling in his heart.
It wasn't like the usual sense of satisfaction, or ecstasy, as if he had expected it before, because in this shoot, he felt that he was constantly pushing his limits, and unlike before, it wasn't that he was in charge of the film, but that the film took him forward to a situation he had never imagined before.
It's like a word to describe it - "if God helps", he is "if God helps", and he suddenly felt the mood of those actors who performed "stunts", not that he created this work alone, but that this work played its own ......
Even if he is asked to shoot a hundred more times, he may not be able to reproduce the current "I Am Legend".
The reason is simple, the right time and place are right.
Needless to say, if this drama was placed in the period of the previous life, it would definitely not cause such a big sensation, because at that time, the popularity of the Internet and the proliferation of zombie culture would not cause emotion for the proposition "zombies also have wisdom". But now, the zombie culture driven by "Resident Evil" has just begun. It is absolutely dazzling that he threw out such a concept across the ages.
The location is advantageous, and the abandoned city designed in the movie itself is Los Angeles, which has a strong sense of substitution for audiences living in Los Angeles. It's as if the protagonist in the play is himself, or the people around him. What's more, from a certain point of view, Los Angeles is also the place where Yi Feiyang became famous, where he founded Dream Entertainment and became a new super director.
People and, needless to say, the importance of actors in this play. Yi Feiyang boldly turned Will Smith, who starred in this play in his previous life, into the Yi girl Angelina Jolie. Changed the protagonist from a tough guy to a beautiful woman. From an aesthetic point of view alone, it is enough gimmick, not to mention that American culture is very easy to accept and moved by the story of "a weak girl saves humanity in times of crisis", so the heroine Julie has gained more admiration and recognition, and has also established a more intimate relationship with the audience. Of course, in addition, other roles such as Depp, Morgan Freeman and others are also played very well.
In short, in Yi Feiyang's view, all miracles are not accidental, and only he knows the hardships and efforts. (To be continued......)
