When the "Source Code" was promoted, I also played "Inception" method: a high IQ film!

It is just deliberately hyping up the concept of eight-minute time travel, source code...

Just like Inception...

In addition, you can save money!

In the behind-the-scenes interview that was released, there was an original sentence from Visual Effects Director Steven Quille:

"When filming Source Code, we once scratched our heads for a $60,000 prop, and $60,000 was just the basic cost of Avatar's half-day shooting. When this happened, I realized that the film was different from the movie I did before, that is, we had to do 6 million dollars for $60,000."

"I'm quite proud to make a science fiction film of this level of less than 120 million US dollars."

There is also the sentence from Ding Yan, the head of the special effects department:

"The shooting of blasting must require a very precise position. According to the plot, blasting starts with a passing car and explodes in succession, until each car is blown away. When we are shooting, we must ensure that the explosion can be carried out in this order."

"After completing the blasting shooting, the staff will synthesize the previously made CG train and red house pictures on the computer, and add the embellishment of debris, dust, fire and other materials, and the explosion shot is completed in this way."

"Many people think we must have shot a lot of explosion scenes, but we didn't know that we just reused this shot seven times."

"We have been doing this scene for five months, and the explosion cost 4 million, and the special effects cost at least five million!"

“We are just proving that China’s special effects plus good movies can take off!

...

OK, back to Zhang Xiaobei and Tangtang...

Zhang Xiaobei is a film critic. He watches the whole movies. Tangtang is different. She only watches Lu Xiaoran’s scenes!

"You're waiting for a train, and the train will take you far away, you know where you're going, but you can't be sure where the train will take you, but it doesn't matter - because we'll be together forever."

This is probably the story that "Source Code" wants to tell!

The movie begins with a high-speed train.

Lu Xiaoran woke up, and Liu Yifei, who was sitting opposite him, seemed to be very familiar with him.

But what she knew was not Lu Xiaoran, but another person.

Lu Xiaoran tried to explain his identity, but it didn't work. Just as Lu Xiaoran was about to find out the truth of the incident, the train suddenly exploded and everything was wiped out.

"Damn!"

Zhang Xiaobei was startled...

This 3D effect is amazing, he seems to feel an explosion in front of him...

Before he could think about it, the plot continued:

The "dead" Lu Xiaoran woke up and found himself in a strange room.

At this time, a female commander named Wan Fang began to explain everything to Lu Xiaoran.

It turned out that he was selected by a secret base and participated in a secret mission called "source code".

But each time you travel back only 8 minutes before the train collided.

Because of information, the murderer who created the train collision claimed that he would go to the city center of Shanghai to create a more destructive explosion in 6 hours.

“…This scale is so amazing?”

Secret base...

Human experiments…

Shanghai…

Explosion, terrorist attack...

Can these appear on the big screen?

Of course, this secret base itself is a villain, but at the end, there is a subtitle that the secret base was accepted by the military...

Then, Lu Xiaoran returned to the source code again and again, searched for clues in the train, and finally found the real murderer.

At this time, the story has been going on for sixty minutes...

Then the plot turns sharply...

Lu Xiaoran begged Wan Fang, hoping to return to the car and say goodbye to Liu Yifei, and then ask Wan Fang to unplug his life system and end his life.

He doesn't want to live in the program.

The problem is that Lu Xiaoran is the most suitable carrier for the source code plan for such a long time!

Tuan Feng, who plays the scientist, has even reported to the above that he has succeeded!

Wan Fang is in a dilemma...

...

Zhang Xiaobei knew very well that this was deliberately setting up suspense!

Or to please the market.

He knew that Lu Xiaoran would definitely let Wan Qian unplug the life maintenance system...

Because doing this meets the public's requirements - a true, good and beautiful ending!

Sure enough, Wan Qian pulled out the life maintenance system and returned Lu Xiaoran's freedom...

And it extends the concept of parallel world...

‘Cherish every second!’

'Everything will be fine'

Zhang Xiaobei suddenly felt a pity - how great it would be if this movie was staying at that time of kissing!

Strictly speaking, the first 80 minutes is a classic repetitive time travel theme. If you obey the hard science fiction setting, when Lu Xiaoran successfully resolved the explosion crisis, after eight minutes, Wan Qian closed the life system.

At this time, when the ***** kiss ended, Lu Xiaoran in the train would be scattered.

As a result, "Source Code" gave an incredible ending, and Lu Xiaoran's personality thoughts were still implanted in the history teacher...

Forced introduction of the concept of parallel world!

Finally, I sent a text message to Wan Qian...

As a science fiction film, "Source Code" is too soft.

It uses the hard science fiction shell, but in the last five minutes it talks about some love and heroism of men and women, the main theme, reunion, and everyone is positive.

But this movie is very good!

The editing speed is getting faster and faster in each repetition. Because the audience is becoming more and more familiar with the actions within these eight minutes, it can be described in one stroke with just a few shots, and there are more and more close-ups. The single scene at the beginning is used to explain the scene and enter the situation. The closer and faster close-ups are amazing and concise!

Every explosion can make people sweat!

What a pity...

If you only stay on the train for eight minutes, this movie is undoubtedly worth nine points!

Now, I can only score 7.5 points, which is a pity...

Then he looked around and there were satisfied smiles on the faces of a bunch of people...

“…”

this…

...

Tangtang from Xingmei Cinema kept shouting:

"So handsome!"

“…How did this half of the body be made?”

"…Hmph, I saw him sticking out his tongue!"

There are no outsiders present, and the atmosphere is very relaxing - just booking the venue, this is the atmosphere you want!

Not only she was screaming, but a group of girls were relaxed and exclaimed from time to time...

However, if Lu Xiaoran didn't choose Orange Cinema, if she knew about it, she would definitely be spanking her!

There is no need to explain the movie watching process in detail, but in short, my heart is surging.

It was almost over, Tangtang pulled Liu Shishi and others out of the hall, thinking that no one knew...

I thought it was pretty, but I was blocked before I left the theater.

"Tangtang, are you booking the venue today?"

"There are many comments online. This movie is surprisingly good. 120 million yuan can produce such an effect. I can't believe it. What are your comments?"

"Wait a minute!"

Tangtang waved her hand and asked, "How did you...you know?"

"Weibo!"

"Someone has already mentioned your location!"

"Yes, we've been waiting for half an hour!"

Tangtang looked at Liu Shishi and could only accept an interview: "I really can't predict the box office, but I think it will not be less than 500 million..."

"Then do you think it can exceed one billion?"

"…I don't know, of course I hope it can exceed one billion... Hey, don't write randomly!"

"Shi Shi, are you also a movie fan of Director Lu?"

"…Yes, I've always looked forward to working with Director Lu."
Chapter completed!
