Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 134 Alien Movie Party

"Hey Nick, my brother!"

Xie Yi laughed and opened his arms and gave Yang Ye a bear hug!
"Who is this beautiful lady?"

"She is my girlfriend, Yamaguchi Momoe!"

Xie Yi originally wanted to joke about how beautiful you are, but Yang Ye directly admitted that Yamaguchi Momoe was his girlfriend and immediately blocked Xie Yi's mouth. Xie Yi was not stupid.

Yamaguchi Momoe was also very happy to hear what Yang Ye said.

"Hello, Ms. Momoe, are you Japanese?"

"Hello, Mr. Shea, yes."

"Momoe is the most famous singer in Japan, haven't you heard of it?"

"Oh, then I am really ignorant."

Yang Ye said: "Is everyone here?"

Shay said: "I'm just waiting for you!"

"Let's go then!"

Yang Ye took Baihui's hand and walked inside. Baihui asked: "Shall we go see that movie now?"

Yang Ye nodded and said, "That's right!"

Shay croaked from the side: "Hey, let me tell you, this is definitely a great movie. But Miss Baihui, I have to remind you that you have to be mentally prepared before watching it!"

Yamaguchi Momoe said timidly: "Is it scary?"

"It's so scary. It's definitely the scariest movie ever made."

Yang Ye squeezed her palm gently and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Taking a woman to watch horror movies is a bad idea for many men. When she screams and crawls into your arms, it is more satisfying than stripping her naked and doing things with her.

Momoe Yamaguchi was grasped by Yang Ye's powerful palm, and she instantly felt extremely safe. The man next to her was the most capable man in the world!
The three of them walked into the small screening room of New Line Cinema, where the film's creators were already waiting.

Xie Yi said: "This is my partner, Academy Award-winning director, and the most powerful man in the world, Mr. Yang Ye. This is his girlfriend, Miss Yamaguchi Momoe, the popular Japanese star."

Yang Ye smiled and greeted: "Hello everyone!"

Without Shay's introduction, he said to a middle-aged man with a beard: "Director Ridley Scott, this is the second time we have met!"

The two first met at the Cannes Film Festival last year, when Ridley Scott had just won the Best Debut Film Award at the Cannes Film Festival, and the two had a long conversation about the filming of "Alien."

This famous director of later generations was a late bloomer. He directed his first feature film "The Duelist" at the age of 40.

But from then on, he seemed to be cheating, "Alien", "Blade Runner", "Thelma and Louise", "Gladiator", "Hannibal", "Black Hawk Down", "Kingdom of Heaven"... …Makes continue to emerge, with both box office and word-of-mouth success.

Except for Blade Runner!
Yang Ye's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has grossed nearly 7000 million U.S. dollars in North America, and the global box office has exceeded 1.3 million.

So far, the three films directed by Yang Ye have grossed more than [-] million in global box office. As a non-Hollywood director, this achievement is unique in the world.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is the world's top director.Not to mention that he can still act. Hollywood can only marvel at the action movies he made!

Hollywood only respects strength, so all the creators of "Alien" admire Yang Ye very much.

After Yang Ye shook hands and got to know the movie creators, Xie said, "Then let's get started!"

After everyone was seated, the lights went out and a beam of light hit the white screen. This small preview meeting officially began.

In the dark and cold universe, the outline of a spaceship appeared.

Then a set of subtitles appeared:
Space cargo ship Nostromo.

Crew: seven.

Cargo: 2000 million tons.

Passage: Return to Earth.

Next, there are various details of the spacecraft. In this era, such detailed descriptions will not make people feel boring, especially the large transistor low-resolution computer display installed in the spacecraft, which is full of science fiction.

Yamaguchi Momoe couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "How was this filmed?"

Yang Ye explained: "Placing a camera equipped with a wide-angle lens on the driving device and slowly passing or surrounding the model at an ultra-low speed of 2.5 frames per second can create the dynamic effect of the spacecraft."

Momoe Yamaguchi said "oh" and continued to read. In the first 6 minutes of the movie, not a single character appeared, and there was not a single line. The director focused on rendering an atmosphere of extreme loneliness, helplessness, and depression from the beginning of the movie.

The camera slowly moves in the vast space, and the Nostalromo spacecraft, loaded with 2000 million tons of ore, sails alone on its way back to Earth.

The picture takes the audience coldly to inspect the long and empty cabin. The inner wall of the metal-structured spacecraft reveals a cold light under the dim light. Occasionally, the wind blows the paper and makes a "plop" sound, or there are suddenly a few sounds of the computer starting to run. The "beep" sound, the tiny movement was amplified into a burst of heart palpitations in the deathly silent environment.

Later, in a hibernation device, the seven crew members woke up one after another. They began to eat breakfast together, complaining about the food being unpalatable.

But since we will be able to return to Earth soon, everyone is in a good mood.Then they discovered...this was not the earth, and they were only halfway through their journey.

Because the computer received a signal from an unknown source, it changed its itinerary. According to regulations, if humans find a signal in space, they must go to investigate.

Because...it is possible to discover intelligent creatures, that is, aliens.

On that planet, the crew encountered a crashed spacecraft. The astronauts in the spacecraft were all dead and turned into fossils.

Although Yang Ye had seen it in his previous life, when he saw the setting of the interstellar ruins in the movie, he still couldn't help but admire: It's really cool!
Literally, look at the picture!

The crew continued to explore, and a large number of alien eggs appeared on the screen. One of them suddenly broke out of the shell, with a shrill scream, and was attached to the face of Kane's crew.

Yamaguchi Momoe was startled, Yang Ye quickly patted her hand and whispered: "Don't be afraid!"

My heart said, this is all a small scene.

The "alien" larvae did not immediately kill people, but wrapped tightly around the human face, showing its power as people moved, like a slowly awakening beast, showing its powerful and limitless power bit by bit. It also swallowed up the fragile nerves of other crew members bit by bit.

Under this tremendous pressure, every crew member began to reveal their human weaknesses, such as selfishness, cowardice, and suspicion.

When they flew away from the unknown planet and the "alien" larvae separated from Kane's face, the tense atmosphere seemed to relax slightly, but everyone could feel that there was something unknown and more terrifying. Lurking in the dark, waiting for the opportunity to emerge from the cocoon.

The way this plot is set up is a perfect example of Hitchcockian suspense.

Next, there is the most famous scene in film history where the alien larva bursts out of the chest.

In the pure white environment, a large amount of blood was sprayed out without warning, and a ferocious-looking alien larva emerged.

This scene is so horrifying that even people decades from now will be shocked when they see it for the first time, let alone now.

Sure enough, Yamaguchi Momoe was so frightened that she screamed and got into Yang Ye's arms. Yang Ye quickly patted her back gently to show comfort.

In fact, let alone her, when filming this scene, although the crew knew in advance that the little alien would rush out of the chest, they were not mentally prepared for the splashing plasma. In addition, the bloody scene on the scene was very scary, so many Everyone was stunned by the sudden scene.

Especially the actress who played the role of crew member Lambert. Plasma sprayed directly on her body. She was so frightened that she immediately fell to the ground and became hysterical.

The actors' real horror undoubtedly added to the film's beauty, and this scene became the most unforgettable moment in the film and was later rated as a classic in film history.

In the subsequent plot, the crew members died one by one in despair, and the aliens did not appear for more than half a second each time, which continued the characteristics of "Jaws".

The real fear comes from the heart, from the helplessness in a lonely situation, from the powerlessness in the face of unknown powerful forces, from the coldness and despair in the face of cannibalism.

As the plot unfolds, a conspiracy is slowly revealed. The ugliest and most terrifying image in the movie is not the alien, but the crew member Ash, who is a representative of the military.

The military set a trap from the beginning, using several crew members as bait. The real purpose of the voyage was actually to go to an unknown planet to find powerful biological and chemical weapons.

Ash played a role in fueling the situation. At several critical moments, he decided to bring the "alien" to the spacecraft and be observed and protected.

After seeing this, the audience realized that human greed and desire are the most terrifying monsters.

Perhaps with wisdom and courage, we can defeat that kind of alien creature, but we are unable to guard against human greed.

At the end of the movie, the alien was killed, and Yamaguchi Momoe finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She was so frightened that director Ridley Scott portrayed the cold horror of outer space where life is extinct to the extreme, so that while watching, she stopped several times and lay in Yang Ye's arms. pant.

The lights came on, and Yang Ye pretended to be angry: "Director, you scared my Baihui into this."

Momoe Yamaguchi said sheepishly: "I don't have a director. Your movie is really a masterpiece. I really hope to see it in Japan."

Yang Ye translated it for Yamaguchi Momoe, then smiled at Yamaguchi Momoe and said, "You still dare to read it?"

Yamaguchi Momoe pursed her lips and said, "Of course I dare!"

Yes, I’m afraid of returning, but I still have to watch it.

Ridley Scott smiled and said: "It is an honor for me that Ms. Momoe likes this movie. I also hope that the movie can be released in Japan as soon as possible."

Yang Ye acted as a translator again, and then said to Shay: "I think Ridley Scott has contributed a masterpiece to us. This movie should not be released as conservatively as before."

Shea said, "You mean a bomb release like Jaws?"

"That's right! This is our company's first venture, and it must be impressive. I want it to be released simultaneously around the world!"

"But it's an unpopular time now. I originally planned to release the movie in the summer."

Yang Ye shook his head: "There are too many blockbuster movies in the summer. We are a small-budget horror film and we can't get many movies. Although the spring is the coldest time of the year, there are not many good movies released at this time. This Doesn’t it show that we have come out?”

Shea's New Line Cinema is still very weak. It has no problem distributing it in North America and some European countries. But if it wants global distribution, it will have to rely on Yang Ye or turn to the eight major Hollywood companies.

Yang Ye has established preliminary distribution channels by relying on the consecutive hits of three films, and there are agents of Baiyang Films all over the world.

Shay said: "Okay, brother, let's do it! Start the promotion and release plan now, strive for... a scale of [-] theaters, and release it across the United States in mid-March!"
