China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 383: Enough cyberpunk movie

"Wow, that means the domestic box office will exceed 40 billion, and the global box office will exceed 16 billion US dollars. Okay, I believe it will achieve better results than this." Tu Jingwei shouted passionately.

But the fact is that many people don’t believe that it can surpass "X-Men: Days of Future Past". It is a superhero movie, so the IP has a high global reputation.After all, how many stars is that?What company made it?
And "Alita: Battle Angel" cannot be compared in terms of IP popularity, cast, or global publicity.

So everyone just took it as a slogan. It is possible for the domestic box office to exceed 40 billion US dollars, but it is difficult for the international box office to exceed 16 billion US dollars.

"Teacher Pan Zhilin, we all know that you have a pair of beautiful big eyes, but Alita's eyes are obviously bigger in the trailer. What is going on? Is it through special effects?" Jing Wei asked Pan Zhilin.

"Yes, it's the special effects. If it weren't for the special effects, I wouldn't be able to keep my eyes wide open." Pan Zhilin tilted her head and smiled.

"The performance was quite coordinated, and there was no strange squeezing of the face. The technique was good. But after enlarging the eyes, the performance of the eyes will definitely be enlarged. How can we break through these wonders?" Jing Wei asked.

"This must be trained by Director He, who is the best at training actresses. He teaches me performance by performance." Pan Zhilin said with a wink.

"..." Jing Wei was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Then I believe Director He Fang's training must be very powerful."

"Yes, it's so tight."

"..." He Fang was stunned for a moment. Why does this sound more and more wrong?Fortunately, Tu Jingwei transferred the interview to other actors.

But when He Fang turned to look at Pan Zhilin, her eyes clearly said, 'I mean what you think.'

Forget it, let her be.

After the interview with the crew ended, the guest red carpet ceremony was immediately held, and several people from the crew also walked to another door in the room to receive the guests who came to support them.

The red carpet lasted about two and a half hours, and it was basically over. It was the end of the year and there were many celebrities calling it a day.

Anyway, He Fang's movies are must-see movies for celebrities every year. Rather than going to the cinema alone to watch it, it's better to come to the premiere to watch it. It can also give you a sense of presence, so why not?dont see?It doesn’t work if you don’t watch it, otherwise when people in the industry discuss you and say you didn’t watch it, they won’t have anything in common.

Of course, He Fang's films are also must-see movies for directors in the industry. They will analyze He Fang's new film techniques, new storytelling techniques and other film technical matters.

He Fang's science fiction movies are currently the only ones in China. No one can compare with them. Even Feng Xiaogang's "Ready Player One" last year was considered very successful, but that kind of movie is not considered very popular in the industry. Science fiction can only be regarded as a game movie.

Therefore, the premiere of "Alita: Battle Angel" directly gathered most of the directors and stars in the industry, all of whom came to learn and observe, and to see whether the science fiction can continue to have new ideas.

After entering the theater, He Fang heard too many compliments. Another young man in his early 30s might have become dissatisfied, but He Fang was already an old sparrow from Dongting Lake.

"There are still 5 minutes until the movie show time. All distinguished guests and audience friends who are coming to watch the movie, please find your seat and sit down, and then turn your mobile phones and other electronic devices to silent. No video recording is allowed during this movie viewing. I hope you understand. "

With the announcer's voice coming from the loudspeaker, the chaotic scene gradually became orderly.

"There is still 1 minute left before the movie is shown. I would like to remind all distinguished guests and audience friends again to find their seats and sit down, not to make any noise, to mute their mobile phones and other electronic devices, and to wear 3D glasses. After 30 seconds, the lights will be turned off and all lights will be turned off. Officially entering movie viewing mode.”

With the broadcast, everyone officially entered the situation of preparing to watch the movie, and the noise at the scene gradually stopped.

After a while, the screen lit up, the dragon logo appeared, and the entire audience officially stopped talking and began to watch the movie with full concentration.

The screen lights up:
In 2563, 300 years after the Battle of Tianshui...

Just the appearance of these two lines of words immediately gave the audience the feeling of science fiction.Time is in the future, this is science fiction.

Then, the first picture came on, and sure enough, the towering buildings and the sunlight on the skyline gave people the feeling of a city in the clouds.

As the camera moves, this is indeed a city in the clouds, thousands of miles in radius, floating in the clouds.

The camera panned further down, and there was a tattered opening at the bottom of the city, and from time to time some garbage fell out of it, just like the excrement digested by a city after eating.

The camera panned down further... Below was a tall mountain of garbage. There were contiguous houses around the mountain, and several large excavators were excavating the garbage.

The camera switches to the ground. Under the setting sun, the golden light covers the garbage mountain, but in the darkness, a silhouette of a man wearing a dome hat and a large trench coat appears in the garbage pile, picks out a mechanical arm and puts it under his arm. .

At this time, the camera jumped and gave this person a close-up shot, showing his face.

He is a middle-aged man wearing glasses, who looks very manly in the sunset.This is played by teacher Li Xuejian, who has a very academic temperament.

Then he found a metal head. He carefully took out an eyeball from the head, wiped it, wrapped it and put it in his trouser pocket.

The moment he turned his head, he seemed to have discovered something even more remarkable... The middle-aged man stepped forward and opened up the trash. He saw a intact head. Then he hurriedly took out a scanner, and the scanner displayed Active areas of color pulse.

"Are you still alive?" The middle-aged man was very surprised.

Then he slowly put away the scanner and carefully picked up the head. This was obviously the head of a young woman.

The middle-aged man held his hands up and raised them at a 30-degree angle. At this time, the camera turned...

"Wow!" the audience in the cinema exclaimed.

Because this picture is so beautiful, a panoramic shot, the middle-aged man holds his head in his hands in an upright posture and looks up at a 30-degree angle.The key is that the mountains of garbage on both sides just sandwich him in a place where light can pass through. The golden sunset behind him backlights, turning the man holding his head into an extremely beautiful silhouette.

The directors on the scene were very impressed by this picture, because this picture has a lot of audio-visual language connotations.

The setting sun, middle-aged and elderly men, mountains of garbage, young female heads, looking up at a 30-degree angle... What do these elements together represent?
The setting sun represents the decadence or decline of civilization, the garbage mountain represents that human beings have no progress other than producing massive amounts of garbage, the middle-aged and elderly men represent the sluggish psychological age of human beings, and the young female heads represent young, energetic and fertile females. Symbolically, looking up at a 30-degree angle represents the middle-aged man’s hope that the world and the entire human race can be full of vigor and vitality...

If we dig deeper, the color of this sunset has an over-saturated golden color, which means that although civilization is about to end, there is an extremely distorted heat before the end, indicating that human beings have a kind of madness before the demise of civilization.

What does it mean that the head held up by a middle-aged man is that of a young woman?Young women represent the strongest reproductive capacity.It means that this person will bring something new and give birth to a new trend.

Just this one picture, how much content is said?This is the charm of audio-visual language.

The audience saw a very beautiful picture, and the directors saw what He Fang wanted to express.This is the level of a top director, who can not only allow the audience to see the beauty, but also allow insiders in the industry to see the author's expression.

Then, it's not the war of the century that everyone sees right away, but something very real.

Alita was reassembled, and then she woke up, and then her mind went blank and she couldn't remember where she came from, what her name was, nothing.

So Dr. Wang De named her Alita and took her to learn about the world...

As for the specific details of the movie content, I won’t introduce them one by one. This movie is actually not that intense. It just introduces a fighting woman named Alita. She is rescued by someone. She wants to find out her identity and start... Search for the truth.

And she finally met an interesting man of the opposite sex, Yang Guo, in Scrap Iron Town, but in the end he died in front of her, and she was unable to save him.

Many elements such as her personal identity, revenge for Yang Guo, and the truth of the world came together to determine that she must go to Kunlun Ruins.

Scrap Iron Town is just her first stop. Only after conquering Scrap Iron Town can she be qualified to go to Kunlun Ruins to find further truth.

This ends the first part.

It can be said that the first part only revealed a corner of the huge science fiction inside story. For example, what happened in the Battle of Skyfall?What is Alita's identity?Who beheaded her and threw her into the garbage?Who killed Yang Guo?To ignite the fire of hatred in her heart?
There are layers of doubts here. Although the plot of the first part is not very intense, it can be said to be very malleable in terms of plot.

Moreover, this is one of the rare movies that gives people a cyberpunk style, which is very suitable for young people's culture, because in the eyes of young people, it is two-dimensional and cool.

For ordinary viewers, it is also a brand new style, very innovative, allowing the audience to see different ideas.

Moreover, the story has a large layout and there are many things to tell. There seems to be a lot of things discussed in this story, which are worth exploring.

In short, this is a movie that combines many elements reasonably. Some young people like it, some can be explored by film critics, and there are also audio-visual parts that can be analyzed.

At first glance, you may not think it is very passionate, but when you think about it carefully, it is full of profound things.

When the movie ended and the subtitles came on, many viewers had not yet left this slightly sad story.

Especially at the end, Alita, who was wearing full armor, was heartbroken. She cut off the tears falling from her eyes with a knife, and then walked into the arena and pointed the knife at Kunlun Ruins.

This ending is really unexpected. Everyone thought that there would be a happy ending where the righteous defeated the villain. The fact is that this is just the beginning of Alita's counterattack in the second part.

When the lights in the theater came on, the audience stood up and applauded, and cheers and whistles continued.

The movie is very good-looking, very unexpected, very young, very cyberpunk, but also very sophisticated...

"Now, let's invite the creators of "Alita: Battle Angel" to come on stage. They are..."
