Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 567: All Filmed for Me
Here we enter the fourth plot: rebirth after disaster!

As Soyuz 1 continued to fall, the entire spacecraft was disintegrating.

At this time, the heroine entered the French cabin. Since she did not understand French, she could only rely on her memory and perform the separation operation according to the position of the same function buttons.

After successfully starting the countdown, all the heroine can do is pray.

Under the influence of gravity, Soyuz 1 disintegrated the moment it entered the atmosphere. The heat from friction caused every part and component to burn red, like a flaming meteor.

The woman in the cabin pressed the disintegration button despite the intense rotation, and the return capsule disintegrated from Soyuz 1.

The camera switched to the exterior scene, the earth was clearly visible, and groups of steel fireballs were seen falling at high speeds like daytime meteors, crossing the vast blue land.

It feels like countless shells are flying from outer space to attack the earth. From a distance, it looks like countless immortals are flying through the void. It is very real and exciting.

As the return capsule fell at a high speed, the vibration caused by air friction made the heroine feel thrilling, and the special effects scene of countless fireballs passing through the sky shocked the audience.

This final special effects scene gave the audience a strong visual impact and made them feel excited.

This was also the first time that Liu Tianxian saw the entire movie. She only knew the plot from the script, but the pictures gave her a more intuitive feeling.

Watching this movie not only makes your palms sweat, but it is also a visual feast. With IMAX and 3D effects, it is very visually impactful.

As the assistant director of this film, Guo Fan saw the desired effect of the film when he was working on the special effects, and he was no longer concerned.

After all, he participated in the entire production process of this movie.

This was in stark contrast to the audience's excitement and seemed a bit dull. Fang Hong felt the same way as well, as he had also seen the original film.

Although there are changes in the plot, the desired effect is basically the same.

After all, it is a successful work. If there are too many changes, the production effect will be too different and the risk will be too great.

Nowadays, global audiences have been influenced by Hollywood's special effects blockbusters. If the gap with Hollywood is too big, people will complain.

At the end of the story, the heroine swam out of the lake, crawled out of the water to the ground, slowly stood up and walked away, which meant a new life and respect for life.

At the end of the movie, against the background of passionate music, four big words appeared: A work directed by Fang Hong!
Then there were densely packed subtitles scrolling.

No audience left, they were still immersed in the thrill of the heroine's self-rescue, the interstellar adventure, and the unparalleled sensory experience.

"Clap clap clap!"

Soon after, the audience spontaneously applauded enthusiastically.

Seeing Liu Tianxian stand up and walk to the front row to face them, many viewers' eyes changed.

Becoming more passionate and more devout, this is their goddess. This movie makes them feel the goddess's elevation, and her position in their hearts has been raised again.

"Thank you! I appreciate your support."

Liu Tianxian held the microphone and bowed to express her gratitude, then asked, "Is the movie good?"

"nice!"

"Too beautiful!"

“Super beautiful!”

"."

The audience responded one after another. Although it seemed a bit chaotic, their enthusiasm could be fully felt. After all, they were all fans of Liu Tianxian.

Moreover, this movie was originally Liu Tianxian's way of giving back to her fans by inviting them to watch it. It can be said that she is very kind to her fans.

"Liu Yifei! I love you!" A male fan suddenly shouted to the front in a very loud voice.

The people next to him couldn't help but move away a little. Their eardrums were about to be broken by this guy. This was too exciting.

"Love you, love you." Liu Tianxian responded with a smile.

The atmosphere on the scene became somewhat lively, and those who were originally immersed in the movie quickly broke away from it and joined in the interaction.

Fang Hong and Guo Fan also stood up and stood side by side with her. They were also the main creators.

The reporter pointed the camera at them and filmed the interaction between the audience and Liu Tianxian on the spot as material.

Since the movie has ended and it is now interactive time, there are no so many restrictions on shooting, so you can shoot whatever you want.

"There's no host or anything, so I'll just say a few words casually." Liu Tianxian said in a joking tone, causing laughter at the scene.

After the audience calmed down a bit, she continued, "This film took more than two years from preparation to release, which is neither long nor short.

I remember that the main creative team encountered many difficulties and technical problems in making this movie. Don’t be fooled by the fact that weightlessness seems simple in the movie. In fact, it is not simple at all.

Just to simulate this effect, the staff used machines and wires to hang people up, repeatedly debugging and simulating to achieve this effect. This is the result of the hard work of countless staff members. "

The emotions that Liu Tianxian expressed, the process of making this movie, and every detail are all in her mind.

There were laughter and touching moments, and they became beautiful memories.

"Clap, clap, clap." The audience was very touched and applauded.

"I would like to thank the two directors for making such a good movie. You both made it for me." Liu Tianxian turned around and looked at the two of them.

Guo Fan smiled and waved his hand to indicate that you’re welcome.

Fang Hong didn't say anything and looked calm and composed.

"Well, let's stop here and take a picture." Liu Tianxian felt that there was nothing much to say. It was not an award ceremony.

After hearing this, the fans immediately became excited and wanted to squeeze to the front row, as the front row had good seats and was close to Liu Tianxian.

"Everyone calm down, calm down, stay where you are, don't move, everyone will be photographed." Someone maintained order and signaled the audience to stay still. The seats in the theater were originally arranged in a stepped pattern, so as long as everyone stayed still, everyone would be photographed.

Soon the audience followed the instructions. Liu Tianxian squatted in the front row with her back to the audience, and Fang Hong and Guo Fan also squatted on her left and right.

She placed her hands on each of their shoulders, acting casually and smiling as she faced the cameras and reporters' cameras in front of her.

There are many cameras here, which can shoot from front to back, left to right, up and down. Some reporters did not shoot the audience, but zoomed in to take a group photo of three people.

The audience has little hype value, only three people have it.

When the picture freezes, the activity ends.

And this "Liu Tianxian watches Gravity with you" event itself is a hype.

Liu Tianxian didn't promote this movie much, so she had to show up to promote it, so she organized this event and also let Fang Hong respond to rumors from outside.

When the photos of this event were circulated on major Internet self-media and portal websites, it added to the popularity of the movie and Liu Tianxian herself.

She was already very popular for starring in "Gravity", and many people who saw the movie were attracted by her, so the popularity naturally came.

Liu Tianxian also uploaded all the photos of the event on her Weibo, and also tagged the official Weibo of "Gravity", and posted: "Gravity, go! Go! Go! {Cheer up}"

"Xixi is so cute! Go, go, go!"

"Ahhh, why wasn't I there? I'm so envious!"

"I also want to watch Gravity with my sister! Can you please let me watch it next time?"

Liu Tianxian also responded to this Weibo comment: "Okay!"

It instantly received thousands of likes and countless comments and reposts from fans.

Just when Liu Tianxian and her movie "Gravity" were at an unprecedented level of popularity, the box office figures for the first day of the Lunar New Year were released.

On the first day, it topped the box office charts: 3.84 million! It's simply terrifying.

It once again broke the single-day box office record. The records in recent years have been broken continuously.

The media also spread the news, and Gravity broke 300 million in one day, approaching 400 million.

Other movies include The Man from Macau 2, which grossed 3227 million yuan on its first day; The Legend of Zu, which grossed 3201 million yuan; and Wolf Totem, which grossed 1665 million yuan.
Compared with the previous life, the box office has dropped by 50%. This is the power of patriotism.

Anyway, since the United States is against it, just follow it without thinking.

In the entire box office, only "Dragon Blade" performed better, with 8433 million. Fang Long is still awesome. He has not exhausted his value, nor is he out of date.

Although his movie is a heavy subject, it still beats all other movies.

As for other niche films, I won’t mention them because they were overwhelmed by the fierce competition during the Spring Festival.

Someone calculated that the first-day box office of "Gravity" was almost 100 million more than the total box office of all Spring Festival movies, which is far ahead and leading the trend.

Seeing how brutal "Gravity" was made those filmmakers realize that there is a market for patriotic themes.

In recent years, Yutu has been leading the trend in the film market. At the beginning, youth films were a big hit, and a bunch of followers were making youth films, which are still being released now.

Teen movies without conflict just have abortion.

After that, blockbuster movies like "Bad Genius" and "Lucy 1" became a big hit, and a bunch of movies followed suit to film cheating and super powers.

Anyway, they just make whatever is popular. Now seeing the popularity of space exploration and patriotic themes, some people are interested in it again.

It’s just that in the past, it was easy to follow the trend when making movies directed by the principal, but now it’s not easy to follow the trend because special effects are the threshold. Who would be willing to spend so much money to make a science fiction movie!

Only capital can play this game, and the threshold has become higher.

As the first day box office of "Gravity" came out, film reviews also came out one after another.

Two film critics commented:

"I have finally waited for a movie that made me so excited after watching the midnight show that I couldn't sleep and had to write something to relieve the overwhelming joy in my heart!

It’s said online that you’ll feel dizzy and unable to stand straight after watching it, and it’s true!

It’s said online that you’ll be sweating all over your back after watching it, and it’s true!

People online say that after watching it you will feel like you have really been to space, and it’s true!

The internet says it is the best commercial blockbuster of the year, but that is fake! You are blind, this is clearly a super artistic and fresh movie!
Since it's already so late, please forgive me for being so brief and incoherent! "

“The soundtrack is also very good, it conveys the emotions very well without being too overwhelming. The majestic music at the end is very exciting. I still get excited when I think about it now!

Then I want to talk about the lens. I'm not an expert, so please correct me if I'm wrong. The viewing angle of the lens varies a lot.

After Liu Tianxian was hit for the first time, she kept flipping in the air. The camera moved with her, as if the audience was also flipping. There were many shots in the cabin, and the entire screen was also turning, as if simulating the rotation of the cabin in a real environment.

Liu Tianxian is sometimes upright, sometimes upside down, and sometimes slanted to the side, which truly reflects the state where everything is floating in the space.

The special effects are really perfect. The entire film was basically completed under the green screen, and there is a huge difference between Avatar and this film."

These are just the two reviews with the most likes and the most widespread. Douban and Zhihu are full of reviews about Gravity.

Of course, there are both praises and criticisms. Some say that the movie has loopholes, such as the part where the male protagonist floats away into the distance, which is completely unreasonable. The vacuum of space should be still.

In response to such questions, Guo Fan also came out to explain: "We also thought about it at the time. It was indeed a loophole, but it only served the plot."

The answer was very frank and there was no excuse.

If the male protagonist must sacrifice himself, it should be for the female protagonist to survive. This sacrifice can touch people's soft spot and is also a respect for life.
