The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 122 "Upgrade" is officially released, a sign of a big hit!
……

A sci-fi blockbuster from the Palme d'Or director, full of gimmicks.

On the Internet, in offline newspapers, in local dating forums, in all kinds of places, as long as there are people... Recently, the science fiction movie "Upgrade" is an absolutely unavoidable topic.

In another time and space, this movie was released in 2018. As a low-budget science fiction film, it became an instant hit thanks to its explosive reputation.

In this time and space, Lu Zhiyuan strengthened the powerful AI science fiction concept of the original film.

Combining its own advantages with the extremely sophisticated cyber wasteland robot visual effects, it creates the top sci-fi masterpiece of this era.

From a purely visual perspective, the movie "Upgrade" is definitely better than "District 9".

In terms of plot compactness, "District 9" can't even catch up.

After all, Lu Zhiyuan himself couldn't accept the slow pace, let alone filming it for the audience.

The 200 minutes of material was edited into 120 minutes by Xin Yukun, making it even more compact!

"Judging from feedback from various channels, the audience has high expectations for this film."

"After all, a science fiction blockbuster made by a great Chinese director and starring a Chinese heroine is definitely unique in this era!"

"China Film Group and Wanda just gave me pre-sale data, which is over 3000 million, far exceeding my expectations. If nothing unexpected happens, this movie will gross over 1 million in the first three days of its release."

Lu Zhiyuan and his group have returned to China.

Zhao Shanshan came to see Lu Zhiyuan every day, bringing good news one after another.

As long as there are statistical data, almost all of them are huge explosions.

Far exceeded expectations!

Zhao Shanshan even suspected that the theater chain was fooling them?

This is too dreamy.

It went incredibly smoothly.

This actually made her a little frightened.

I’m afraid that a black swan will suddenly appear at the critical moment.

After being fooled so many times, she now dares not easily believe any beautified data.

Everything is false.

It depends on the final box office.

"Sister Shanshan, how's the movie 'The Siege of the City'? It just came out yesterday. How's the box office?"

Lu Zhiyuan was a little surprised that "The Siege of the City in October" was not withdrawn.

These people are really not afraid of death.

Lu Zhiyuan remembers that the production cost of the movie "October Siege", plus the publicity expenses, was about 1.5 million yuan, which is not much different from his science fiction blockbusters.

How did this get spent?

I didn't go to any special place to shoot.

There is no difficult shooting content.

Several actors of the best-selling level have joined the cast, and it seems they were offered a friendly price.

If Lu Zhiyuan were to shoot this movie, with the same production standards, not counting the salary, the maximum he could earn would be 2000 million.

The pictures he shot are definitely better than the original.

For the movie "Upgrade", he took his team around the world to find a Hollywood team to produce it. Excluding the special effects, it only cost 1000 million US dollars.

If you can't figure something out, there must be a problem.

These people in Hong Kong and Taiwan like to complicate simple things in order to fish in troubled waters.

Zhao Shanshan chuckled and said with some disdain, "Chen Kexin still has some face. 'The Besieged City' has a 45% screening rate and took in 22 million yuan on its first day. I guess those people should be preparing a celebration party, right?"

In September, "Founding of a Republic" only earned 15 million yuan on the first day of its release, and eventually earned more than 400 million yuan.

According to this estimate, wouldn't "The Siege of the City in October" have a box office of 6 million yuan?
I guess that's what people in Hong Kong and Taiwan think.

Lu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "You can't calculate it that way. With an all-star cast and saturated publicity, 2200 million at the box office isn't much. The box office will most likely plummet."

You know, the current situation is completely different from that in September.

In September, the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis was still significant, but after a few months, the situation in China has begun to recover.

Even the economy shifted gears and took off again.

After the National Day, housing prices began to soar.

Soaring housing prices don't necessarily mean the economy is doing well, but they definitely won't soar during an economic crisis.

It can be seen from the housing prices that the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis on the country has been minimal.

The box office of 22 million in December may not be as high as the 15 million in September, which is of high value.

Based on the production cost of 1.5 million yuan, "The Siege of the City in October" is unlikely to make a profit.

"Ayuan, don't worry. I've already made an agreement with the theater chain. No matter what happens with 'The Siege of the City', we must ensure that our film gets a screening rate of over 60% on Christmas Eve!"

It is only right for a super science fiction movie with a US$3000 million investment to have such a grand appearance.

However, this treatment is only available for the three days before the release.

If the subsequent performance is not good, the screening rate will definitely be cut.

But this is unlikely to happen.

Zhao Shanshan has seen the movie "Upgrade" with her own eyes.

Needless to say, the quality is absolutely amazing.

Even if she has no idea in her head and no artistic thinking, from the perspective of an ordinary audience, the pictures in this movie are simply amazing!

The ending is even more stunning, the kind that will definitely make you tremble all over.

"Ah."

Lu Zhiyuan nodded, equally confident: "After our movie is released, there's a high probability that The Siege of the City won't make any waves."

Film has always been a visual art.

Look at "Avatar", it's such a simple story, even a bit like a fairy tale, but it can sweep the world.

No matter how exciting the story is, it still depends on the pictures to present it.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be more direct to read novels?

The speed at which movies spread is much faster and more rapid than novels.

This shows that everyone still likes to look at the pictures.

"Brother, help! Sister Xiao Ai and I are trapped in the mall."

Lu Zhiyuan and Zhao Shanshan were chatting about the screening rate, but unexpectedly, Reba called and shouted for help.

"Alita, I just saw Alita, she went into the bathroom!"

"Alita, I love you!"

"Alita, please sign an autograph for us!"

Reba put the phone on speakerphone so that Lu Zhiyuan could hear how critical the situation was.

Obviously, Reba is popular.

The trailer for Reba is being rolled out on a large scale recently.

Reba also knew that she might have some popularity, but she never expected that she would be recognized while shopping.

Those fans were like crazy, showing a crazy temperament like a zombie siege, which scared her so much that she ran for her life and finally hid in the toilet.

Listen to those fanatical voices outside.

Reba doesn’t even know how she became so popular when her movie hasn’t even been released yet?

In this state, will I still be able to go shopping by myself in the future?
Can I still go on a honeymoon with Lu Zhiyuan?

In fact, it is not difficult to understand.

In this era, no, even in the future, any actress who can star in a Hollywood super science fiction movie will definitely be praised by fans.

Not to mention, the heroine Reba is not a supporting heroine without a main storyline, but the absolute core heroine.

Lu Zhiyuan even gave her a philosophical concept of "dystopia".

It elevates her to a level far exceeding that of the protagonist Keanu Reeves.

It's normal for her to become popular.

Of course, in Lu Zhiyuan's opinion, the main reason is that Reba's hairstyle as "Empress Hancock" is really cool.

There are not many people in the world who can carry off this hairstyle.

Not only did Reba handle it, but she was also super cool and very distinctive. From a distance, she looked like an AI robot.

If you put yourself in a crowd, you will get a lot of attention.

"Reba, hide for a while. I'll call Brother Kun and ask him to arrange someone to pick you up."

Lu Zhiyuan would never join in such a crowded and lively scene, so he could only ask Xin Yukun to take action and bring the person back.

"It seems that our heroine has become famous."

Seeing Lu Zhiyuan hang up the phone, Zhao Shanshan smiled happily.

With just one trailer, Reba became so popular.

It is foreseeable how high the audience's expectations are for this movie.

"Tiantian told me that Reba is her good sister and asked me to arrange more events for her."

"After the movie is released, I will make Reba ready and run three shows a day, morning, noon and night without stopping. Whether she can make a lot of money and become rich overnight depends on the next half month."

When the movie was released, it was heavily promoted. As the leading actress, Reba Dilmurat was definitely a huge hit, not to mention Hollywood, but at least in China.

What about the four actresses and two ice queens? At least this month, anyone who meets Reba will have to kneel down.

"I don't understand these things either. Please help, Sister Shanshan."

After the filming of the movie was completed, Lu Zhiyuan became very idle.

Lu Zhiyuan also cooperated with the recent interview program and the promotion before the movie was released.

But soon, the hosts discovered that Lu Zhiyuan was a very boring person.

Basically, he said whatever was written in the script.

When we wanted him to improvise, he remained silent.

No matter how the host tried to trick him, he just wouldn't be fooled, just like a robot entering standby mode.

After a few times, word spread throughout the circle that the big director Lu Zhiyuan was very arrogant and seemed disdainful to chat with them.

I don't know how the rumor started...

Anyway, Miss Jing Tian was very angry. She called each unit one by one and scolded them, telling them not to talk nonsense.

In the end, instead of the rumors dying down, they became more and more rampant.

Anyway, Lu Zhiyuan is a very arrogant person. He looks down on other colleagues in the circle. He thinks those people are uneducated and he is unwilling to communicate with them.

Those reporters were so bored that they actually went to interview Chen Kaige about this matter.

Ask him what he thinks?
Chen Kaige was also an interesting person. He smiled meaningfully and left a famous quote: "Xiaolu and I had a great conversation. I have nothing to say to you."

When the reporter heard this, he was stunned for a long time.

Finally I realized that what Chen Kaige meant was that you are an uneducated person and I am too lazy to communicate with you.

The Palme d'Or director is awesome.

No matter what Lu Zhiyuan thinks, Chen Kaige feels that in the entire domestic director circle, only Lu Zhiyuan is qualified to talk to him on an equal footing.

Neither can anyone else.

Lao Mouzi can be considered half a member. After all, he was his younger brother before, and he was trained by him, so he can keep up with his thinking.

"Ayuan, don't go online or read the newspaper during this period, so as not to affect your mood. Just stay home and rest, go to bed early and get up early, and take care of your body."

"As for the rest, I'll take care of it, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Except for the premiere, you don't need to participate in the rest of the promotional activities. Let Reba take care of it."

Zhao Shanshan was too lazy to clarify the negative news about Lu Zhiyuan.

They are all sour talkers.

Since the movie can't defeat us, it resorts to personal attacks.

I look down on you, what's wrong?
What's wrong with being too arrogant?
Have you eaten your rice?
Or did they ask you to invest in making a movie?

Our Tiantian loves this robot so much. Who is it you monsters who have the right to say something about it?

Besides, do you know how much money this robot in our house has made for our Starry Sky?

How much cultural and tourism traffic has it brought to our hometown?
I'll scare you to death if I tell you!
Feng Xiaogang is causing troubles everywhere, cheating on his wife and making noises all the time, but I haven't seen you say anything behind his back, and you still praise him to the sky, don't you?

Our robot is so well-behaved because it just doesn't want to talk nonsense with people like you with low cultural level, so as not to expose your IQ.

He is so considerate and doesn't want to upset you, but you turn around and slander him?

This is simply unreasonable!
……

Hong Kong and Taiwan circles.

A bunch of people gathered together again, drinking and chatting.

"That mainland kid is so arrogant! I want to see him get kicked! Do you have any ideas? He treats all of us like idiots and trash. He's so self-righteous, like he's the coolest guy in the world. He deserves a beating just by looking at us."

"During the interview, the host asked him what he thought of me. He blinked three times and said nothing. What do you think he meant? Did he think I was a punk?"

"Brother Xin, forget it. You can't beat him. He has too strong a background. He's a Palme d'Or director. The company he's backed by is even more impressive, with many bigwigs backing him. Besides, his girlfriend is also very powerful. If you offend her family, I'm afraid your house will be suddenly searched and you'll be found to have hidden weapons and accused of being involved in terrorism."

"Let's wait for 'Avatar'. This movie grossed over 7000 million US dollars in its first three days in North America, and 1.6 million US dollars overseas! That's outrageous! When it comes to China, I'll definitely teach Lu Zhiyuan a lesson!"

……

"The Siege of the City in October" earned 8000 million yuan in box office revenue in the first three days.

But starting from the second week, the box office began to weaken, getting worse day by day.

On December 24, a Thursday, the box office of "The Siege of the City in October" was cut in half from the previous day, to less than 5 million.

When receiving this data, the entire Hong Kong and Taiwan circles were shocked.

The screening rate of "The Siege of the City in October" was cut because someone from above gave the order to give it all to the movie "Upgrade".

“It’s too dark!”

"So great having a background? This is forced praise!"

"People in mainland China are so unruly. They're so greedy, yet they insist on promoting a big commercial film director? They think we're all just idiots!"

The Hong Kong and Taiwan directors all share the same hatred for the enemy.

Seeing what happened to "The Siege of the City in October", they seemed to have seen their own future.

But if you want to make money in someone else's market, you have to endure it.

Either you have to rely on the big boss or show your loyalty, otherwise you have to make money on your knees.

Unless your movie is particularly explosive or the means are particularly sophisticated.

Just like Lu Zhiyuan, he came up with a super science fiction concept, but instead of looking for cooperation with a Hollywood company, he found a super technology company like Apple first.

With a big backer like Apple, even the big Hollywood giants can't touch him and are forced to cooperate with him. The cooperation agreements they sign are also very relaxed.

Between people and between companies, either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind.

Only when you can bring benefits to others will they treat you as a guest of honor.

Most people understand these principles.

But when it’s my turn, I always get furious and feel that the world is so dark and unfair.

……

Lu Zhiyuan was very clear that he was blocking other people's way.

If the movie "Upgrade" had not appeared, the box office of "The Siege of the City in October" would not have been so bleak, and it should have been able to get around 2.5 million.

But judging from the current situation, even 1.5 million is difficult to come by.

Because, compared with super sci-fi action movies like "Upgrade", "October Siege" is a bit too old-fashioned.

Judging from the picture, there is an atmosphere of decadent old times.

If you block other people's way, they will naturally hate you.

But there is nothing we can do.

Movies are very straightforward. Either you succeed or you fail!

The filming rate is there, if I don't grab yours, you will have to grab mine. So, once the battle starts, we must go all out and show our unique skills.

Since you have a background, why should you compete fairly with others?
Isn't this funny!

"Ayuan, no matter what others say, don't take it seriously. If the movie is successful, the media reporters will only flatter you and won't care about those losers."

Zhao Shanshan knew very well that Lu Zhiyuan was a proud person.

There's been a lot of sarcasm in the media lately, probably paid by those in Hong Kong and Taiwan to deliberately undermine Lu Zhiyuan's mentality. "Sister Shanshan, I never read online gossip or newspapers. Besides, I don't resent what you've done for me at all. I'm actually very grateful."

Lu Zhiyuan still knows what is right and wrong.

The most important thing is that the higher the box office, the more talent he can bring out from his opponents.

He looked forward to it.

"Ayuan, I'm really happy that you can say that. It means I'm doing a good job."

Zhao Shanshan smiled, feeling somewhat disdainful of those people's slander.

I have a background, that's my ability. If you had a background, you might be even more arrogant than me.

Moreover, I informed everyone half a month in advance that "Upgrade" would be released during the Christmas period, and even the most powerful person would be useless.

It's your own fault for not being able to see clearly that you had to bump into me.

Blame me now?

I simply don’t know what it means.

……

The premiere was held at Wanda, less than 2 kilometers away from Lu Zhiyuan’s Dongshan villa.

This is the second time that Lu Zhiyuan has held a premiere at this Wanda Cinema.

There's no way around it, he just likes to stay close to home.

Zhao Shanshan also understood.

So, the premiere of "Upgrade" will continue to be held here.

She even asked Wanda to renovate the cinema and turn it into a high-end flagship store.

Many reporters came.

They also want to see how many people will come to the premiere?
People in the circle say that Lu Zhiyuan is arrogant, has a weird personality, and doesn't have many friends. If the premiere is deserted, then they will have something to write about.

Who knows, the stars will shine!

I don’t know whose face I slapped.

"Oh my god, he's worthy of being the Palme d'Or director. He held a premiere and half the entertainment industry came!"

"Is this still a premiere? Why does it feel like a red carpet?"

Lu Zhiyuan has been a subject of much controversy and has been at the center of controversy recently.

Some people say that he does not respect his seniors in the industry, some say that he is too arrogant, and some say that he is pro-Western.

He didn't respond at all, no matter what people outside said.

No one knows what this great director is doing every day. It's as if he has disappeared from the face of the earth. Paparazzi can hardly take pictures of his private life. He is so mysterious.

However, the more this happened, the more these reporters and media wanted to dig out information from Lu Zhiyuan.

Things are rare.

The Palme d'Or director usually likes to keep a low profile, but what he does is not low-key at all.

Reba, a 17-year-old Uyghur girl, was just an ordinary dancer in the song and dance troupe of her hometown before she met Lu Zhiyuan.

And now, she has become the internet sensation [Battle Angel Alita].

There is no doubt that Reba's fighting ability in the movie is definitely the most powerful in the whole movie, but she was killed by the plot.

As for calling her an angel, it is naturally because her appearance has won unanimous recognition from the whole world.

No matter whether it is Eastern or Western, Chinese or foreign, everyone is attracted by her beauty!
A classic role is a huge blessing for the actor.

Even if Reba chooses to quit the entertainment industry directly after filming this movie, she will leave an indelible mark in the Chinese film industry.

"Xiaolu, I heard that the movie is quite good. Let me congratulate you first."

Chen Kaige was the first to come up, hugged Lu Zhiyuan, and congratulated him with a smile.

They are all Palme d'Or directors. The higher Lu Zhiyuan flies, the more face he gets.

If this movie becomes a hit, next time other cultural and tourism units approach him, he can raise the price.

Anyway, they couldn't find Lu Zhiyuan to shoot a cultural and tourism film.

I can only find him.

The Palme d'Or director is making a cultural and tourism film, which is the only one of its kind in the country. Shouldn't the price be higher?
"Zhiyuan, when is the filming of 'Real Steel'? Can you save a role for me, Fei? I know the rules. I've collected $100 million and given it to you as a token of my appreciation."

The second person to come over was Liu Yifei.

Apart from Chen Kaige, Lu Zhiyuan has the best relationship with Liu Yifei.

The two of them often went to art exhibitions together, and not only people in the circle knew about it, but people outside the circle also knew about it.

Many people initially thought that the two would have a scandal, which would cause chaos in Lu Zhiyuan's family.

Who would have known? I’ve been waiting for almost half a year and still no news.

"Sister Fei, I can only say sorry."

"Two of the three main characters in the main cast have already been decided. There's still one little girl left, but I'm afraid she's not suitable for you. However, if you'd like to make a cameo appearance, you're always welcome."

When it comes to movies, Lu Zhiyuan always chooses actors based on the role they play and doesn't give anyone face.

Liu Yifei is not suitable, no matter how good their relationship is, he can only refuse.

Otherwise, if Liu Yifei can come and intervene, why can't Jing Tian do the same?

He doesn't even give face to his girlfriend, so how could he design a role specifically for Liu Yifei?
Impossible.

"What a bummer. No wonder Jing Tian called you a robot."

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at Lu Zhiyuan and didn't take it seriously.

I already knew what kind of person he was, and I couldn't really be angry with him.

It’s good to have a good relationship. Even if there is no opportunity now, there will always be a chance in the future.

During this period, it was not easy for Liu Yifei to survive in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Everyone knew that she and Lu Zhiyuan were good friends.

The screening rate of "The Siege of the City in October" was squeezed, which seemed like Lu Zhiyuan was targeting the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles, but Liu Yifei knew that Lu Zhiyuan would not do such a thing.

It must be Miss Jingtian who unconditionally supports her boyfriend's dream.

In addition to Liu Yifei, many stars from Huayi also came. However, seeing that Liu Yifei was very close to Lu Zhiyuan, they felt a little embarrassed and had to stay far away, not daring to come closer.

In order to avoid being photographed, they chatted with Liu Yifei.

Then you're dead.

The two Mr. Wangs will definitely be furious.

……

At the premiere, every member of the creative team answered two questions from reporters according to the script prepared in advance.

These reporters' questions had all been confirmed by the staff beforehand.

If you ask inappropriate questions, Lu Zhiyuan will not answer them.

Therefore, this kind of question-and-answer game without any surprises made the audience drowsy, and the people in the circle pretended to be serious and just went through the motions.

"Sister Shanshan, tell the reporters to stop asking."

Miss Jing Tian, ​​as the second female lead, was dressed very formally today, wearing a Chanel haute couture dress worth 200,000 yuan, which outshone all the other beauties.

Even more ostentatious than the heroine Reba.

At this moment, Jing Tian saw that Lu Zhiyuan was almost asleep, so she covered her mouth and smiled, then gently pushed Zhao Shanshan next to her.

"Sister Shanshan, if those reporters have any questions, ask them to come to the company to get the internal information."

"It's almost midnight now, and our robot must be dying of sleep. Let's watch the movie early and finish it early."

"I also made soup at home."

They have watched this movie several times.

The novelty has long since worn off.

As for Lu Zhiyuan himself, as a director, post-production colorist, and half-editor, he has definitely watched this movie more than 100 times.

I almost vomited.

At this moment, before the mystery was revealed, he felt a little excited but also a little numb.

Just waiting for a result.

"It's almost time, let's watch a movie!"

Seeing that Lu Zhiyuan's eyes were indeed a little dazed, and he even turned his head and yawned secretly, Zhao Shanshan couldn't help but smile.

She stood up and waved her hand, telling the reporter to stop asking questions.

Start playing the movie right away!
……

On the streets full of cyber wasteland style, Reba, dressed as a punk girl, quickly shuttled through and returned to an abandoned factory.

She quickly took out the key, opened the door and walked in.

The scene changed, and inside was a sci-fi laboratory.

The highly saturated neon lights flickered, revealing the specific details of the entire laboratory.

On the table, there are densely packed various instruments, scattered circuit boards, and some plants and flowers not far away.

The dense visual information hit the audience instantly, leaving them stunned.

Their first reaction was that this punk girl Reba was not a simple person, but probably a scientific madman.

Soon, their idea was confirmed.

Because, when Reba rolled up her sleeves, she found that her arm was not made of flesh and blood, but an extremely sophisticated mechanical device.

At this time, the robotic arm took out a blue tubular injection from a constant temperature freezer in the laboratory and injected it into its thigh.

The next second, a look of pain appeared on Reba's face, and then her body struggled for a while and gradually relaxed.

"Gene injection No. 3 will take effect after 15 minutes and can effectively relieve pain."

"Warning: Your health is very poor. Your estimated survival time is no more than three months."

A cold mechanical electronic sound rang in Reba's ears.

"Shut up, Siri."

Reba growled impatiently.

After seeing this, the audience has a basic understanding of the heroine Reba.

Crazy science girl.

He has an incurable genetic disease and is about to die.

Just one line makes the plot tense.

"Don't you think this lab is a little weird?"

“At first, I just felt that the color style of this laboratory was a little off.”

“But somehow, since I just learned that this heroine is about to die, I suddenly feel like this scene seems to come alive.”

"The whole lab was filled with a death-like aura that seemed to be strangling me, making it hard for me to breathe."

In the audience, some people were talking to each other.

It’s mainly the lights and plants and flowers in the laboratory that look very depressing.

The colors are clearly highly saturated and should be vibrant, but somehow it makes people feel uncomfortable.

Completely confused.

But there must be something mysterious and powerful in it.

“Frida Kahlo’s aesthetics of death. I knew you didn’t understand.”

"Zhiyuan is too lazy to communicate with you because it would be pointless to tell you. I'll show you the picture and you'll understand it yourself."

Hearing the voice from behind, Liu Yifei, who was sitting in the front row, couldn't help feeling a little proud.

There were so many people present, including so many directors and cultural figures, but I estimated that the number of people who could understand this picture was no more than the number of people on the palm of one hand.

By this calculation, she is also half an artist here.

……

The movie continues.

Reba was busy in the laboratory for a while, operating various machines, making a brand new robotic arm, and then put it in a suitcase and put the things in a locker outside.

After a while, a sneaky person came to the locker, put in an energy bar (the high-level currency of the future world), and then took away the mechanical arm.

It looked like some kind of black market deal was done.

Reba went up to open the locker, picked up the energy bar, turned around and disappeared into the night.

But there was a ferocious modified human who saw this scene, became greedy, and followed Reba.

Reba pretended not to notice, and even deliberately stopped at the corner for a while, snorting lightly, obviously waiting for the other party to catch up.

Seeing this scene, the audience immediately understood that Reba was fishing.

Good guy.

What an interesting little girl!
Not long after, when the other party rushed into her house, the helpless, weak and humble Reba retreated step by step into the kitchen.

That’s when the scene in the trailer appeared.

The next second, she completed the AI ​​transformation in the kitchen and instantly counterattacked.

The two-meter-tall man couldn't even last a single round in her hands! Whether it was his intelligence or his skills, he was crushed into slag by her.

"Wow!"

"so cool!"

"That shot just now reminded me of the first time I played a 3D game. The characters appeared on my screen, and it was that overwhelming feeling. It was so immersive."

"Besides that, the moment the heroine Alita launched herself up, coupled with the sound of the machinery turning, really gave me a chill!"

The first 5 minutes are the most exciting!
This movie doesn't have many lines, but the content conveyed by the images is quite rich without making people feel pretentious.

Even a child can understand what this story is about.

……

The movie continues.

After killing the cyborgs who invaded her house, Reba began to clean up the bodies.

"All my belongings are just two energy bars, and I thought I caught a big fish? This neighborhood is so poor it makes people desperate."

"Poor kid, who installed the robotic arm for you? The design is too complicated. No wonder you were so slow to react just now. If you had asked me to modify it, maybe you could have lasted a few more rounds."

While dealing with the corpse, Reba kept muttering to herself, acting like a petty money-grubber. Where was the demeanor of the goddess killer just now?

It turns out that she is a high-end hunter, but she is just disguising herself as an ignorant prey.

……

"Alita is so cunning. That strong man is so pitiful. He was tricked like this!"

"Alita is so lazy. After finishing the battle dungeon, she entrusts her body to the AI ​​to help with housework and clean up corpses. She just closes her eyes, listens to music, and enjoys the quiet time."

"It's exactly like me playing games."

"By the way, is Alita a robot? She doesn't look like one, more like a super cyborg. There seem to be a lot of cyborgs in this world. So, does that mean there are no disabled people in this world?"

Five minutes into the movie, the audience has already entered this world and started discussing with each other.

This is a very good start.

The main reason is that this cyber wasteland world is quite fresh in this era.

"District 9" makes people feel that the visual effects are very explosive, but the aliens in this movie are so disgusting and not beautiful at all.

The battle angel designed by Lu Zhiyuan for Reba is the perfect fusion of true beauty and mechanical technology.

No homebody can resist this charm.

"It's over!"

"Brother Xin, this movie might be a big hit!"

"He is completely different from Chen Kaige. He has none of the reserve of a major art film director. He makes commercial films with a fast pace, cool visuals, sharp fighting scenes, and bubbling beautiful character models."

"Just watching the first five minutes gave me the same feeling as when I was a kid watching The Terminator, the shock and anticipation it brought me."

“It’s like being brought into a familiar yet unfamiliar future world.”

“This sense of immersion is really too strong.”

"Besides that, the heroine's personality is also very distinct. She's cool, cute, cunning as hell, lazy, and a little money-grubber. Just like my academically gifted sister."

"No matter what the movie is like, the leading actress is going to be a hit!"

There were also some undercover agents sent from Hong Kong and Taiwan in the audience. They had only watched the movie for 5 minutes when they felt that something was wrong.

They were still waiting for the movie to flop so that they could laugh at Lu Zhiyuan.

Now it seems that we may not be able to wait for this movie!
(End of this chapter)
