Chapter 606 'The Clown Returns to the Soul 2' Released

The matter of Wu Long's marriage was on the Internet for a week before the heat gradually dissipated.

Wu Long also spent a week with Qiu Ya on their honeymoon, and immediately devoted himself to the preparation and guidance of "Inception".

Although the original "Inception" also used a lot of computer special effects, there are also many shocking shots that were not made with computer special effects, but were shot in real scenes.

This is also one of the reasons why "Inception" can attract audiences and create good box office.

Brain-burning is part of this science fiction movie.

What is even more shocking is the visual effect of this movie. It displays people's dreams in front of the audience in a weird way, making the audience marvel that dreams can be so realistically restored on the screen.

For example, the classic corridor shot.

No computer special effects were used here. It was not shot with a green screen, but with real scenery. In order to shoot this shot, a 35-meter-long cylindrical rotating iron frame was specially built.

This iron frame can rotate, just like it did when filming "Interstellar".

Then use this iron frame to build a corridor in the iron frame as required by the script.

When filming, the camera was fixed on the floor. As the corridor rotated, the actors were always stepping on the bottom. But in the shots that followed the corridor, the actors were stepping on the walls and ceiling, creating the magical effect of a magic ship.

In addition to creating this rotating corridor, in order to film the weightless state, a vertical corridor must also be built. In fact, it is also the same as the filming of "Interstellar", with one facing the sky and the other facing the ground. The actor is actually hanging at the other end of the corridor, with his body

Parallel to the ground, the actor rotates as if weightlessly walking on the walls and ceiling of the corridor.

The camera was pointing upward towards the corridor to shoot.

When shooting in this way, the effect of weightlessness is achieved.

Whether it is a rotating corridor or a vertical corridor with a weightless effect, Wu Long must personally explain it and use a model to demonstrate it before engineers can build it according to Wu Long's requirements.

In addition to this, there is also a very important prop, the train speeding through the city.

Many viewers didn’t understand and thought it was CG computer special effects. But in fact, computer special effects cannot produce a real collision effect.

To be real, build a train!

Of course, this is not a real train and it can run without rails. It is actually a large float. But the shape of the float is that of a train.

This requires a special chassis, which is like a truck, but is longer than the truck chassis. The chassis is equipped with tires. In other words, the tires inside this prop train actually drive the train to move.

The train wheels outside do not bear the load.

Such a chassis frame can be made with a giant semi-coupled vehicle.

The entire prop train, except that the chassis is made of steel and the front end is made of iron, other parts such as the train body are made of plywood and the lower part of the train is made of fiberglass.

In addition to these, there is also a magical real-life prop, which is the weird staircase. People who don’t know also think that it is made with computer special effects. In fact, it is not. Instead, it uses a visual illusion to create a real scene.

Later, special shooting techniques were used to capture this shocking scene.

In the real scene, the stairs are disconnected, and there is a gap between the upper and lower ends.

However, if you shoot from a close-up angle, looking down from above, the disconnected areas will appear to be connected because of the illusion.

It is a two-dimensional visual effect when viewed from top to bottom. Viewed from the side, you can see that the connection is actually disconnected and there is a height difference.

There is also the effect of an earthquake. When you are asked to create the background of this scene, you must consider using a vibrator to create an illusion. At the same time, you must also prepare falling debris. When the vibrator shakes the scene, something will fall down, making it appear more real.

.

After the explanation was completed, Wu Longcai went to Haolaihu to produce "Fast and Furious 4".

One month after the release of "The Conjuring", Huang Yiyu's "The Conjuring 2" began to be released.

Because "The Return of the Clown" has an amazing box office, many people are looking forward to the second part. However, many people think that "The Return of the Clown" is too perfect and the second part will definitely not be as good as the first one.

Therefore, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

"The trailer said that "The Return of the Clown 2" is the story of those children who grow up and because the clown demon appears again, they keep their promise and come back to fight the clown demon. However, they were able to defeat the clown demon last time. This time

Wouldn’t it be easy to come back and fight again?”

Barbara walked into the cinema and asked Cross and the bookstore owner. "But, in that case, what's there to see?"

"I guess those people are still afraid of the clown demon in their hearts," Cross said.

The bookstore owner said:

"I think it's unreasonable for those kids to easily defeat the clown demon in the first movie. It's more like the clown demon deliberately lost to them."

"It's possible." Short agreed with the bookstore owner. "The clown demon was playing with those children and deliberately didn't kill them."

The four of them walked into the cinema and waited for the movie to start with other horror fans who like to watch horror movies.

At the beginning of the movie, in the first part, several friends cut their hands and swore in blood that if the clown demon appears again in twenty-seven years, they will come back to defeat the clown demon and prevent the clown demon from harming children again.

In the blink of an eye, twenty-seven years have passed. These friends have their own lives. Except for the black man Mike who remains in the town as a policeman, everyone else has left the town.

When Mike received the report, he also found a balloon with "I love Derry" written on it. This balloon appeared in the first part.

He found a red letter on the bridge saying "Go home", which made him realize that the clown demon had appeared again, and he quickly informed his friends to come back.

The protagonist of the first film, Bill Denber, became a writer and screenwriter. Twenty-seven years later, he is still guilty and sad about the death of his younger brother.

The cost of his writing is very good, but the ending is not good, and it is often criticized by audiences and readers. He is also married to the movie star Audra Phillips.

It turns out that he is not married to Beverly, the heroine of the first film.

And Beverly did not marry Bill, nor did she marry Fat Ben. Her husband actually liked domestic violence like her father, and she was often beaten.

This made the audience very dissatisfied.

But the reality is often like this. First love does not become a couple.

Medicine Jar Eddie became a risk assessor, and his wife turned out to be as controlling as his mother. And when he grew up, he was unable to get rid of this state.

Seeing this, veteran horror fans should guess what.

Ricky, a man with glasses, became a stand-up comedian and became very famous.

Fat Ben became thinner and became a rich and domineering CEO.

Curly-haired Stanley became a partner in a large accounting firm, and his wife was a teacher.

Something happened to these people after receiving a call from Mike.

Beverly was discovered by her husband when she answered the phone. He thought she was betraying and having an affair and beat her.

Eddie got into a car accident because he received this call.

Ricky was so frightened that he vomited and even forgot the lyrics for the performance.

What made the audience even more amused was that the curly-haired Stanley actually committed suicide by slitting his wrists in the water tank out of fear.

"why!"

"Fake!"

"Shet!"

The audience didn't understand why. It started to be outrageous right from the beginning. Not only outrageous, but outrageous.

The clown demon is so scary? These people were able to defeat the clown demon when they were young. How come they become more scared when they grow up?

Isn't this unreasonable?

The villain in the first movie who killed his father actually survived and was imprisoned in a mental hospital!

He saw the red balloon appear and smiled, the clown came to save him.

Everyone returned to the town for a party and found that they could not recall what happened back then and felt terrible. As long as Mike stayed in the town, he could remember what happened back then.

After the few of them stayed in the town for a long time, their memories slowly recovered.

So they decided to play a game to relieve their emotions.

As a result, the notes taken out turned out to be "guess Stanley can't cut it".

It was, of course, the clown demon. Everyone guessed that Stanley didn't come, so he was probably in danger.

Then they encountered something strange, they didn't know if it was a hallucination or reality.

And Beverly actually dreamed of Stanley's death.

Mike said that he stayed in the town and never gave up on finding a way to eliminate the clown demon. He actually found a way. He said that he wanted to find a token that could represent the childhood memories of the seven of them, and then sacrifice the token through special sacrificial vessels and rituals.

If you sacrifice, you can destroy the clown demon.

Everyone split up to look for the tokens.

Beverly returned to her old house, which was now occupied by an old woman. She secretly dug into the cracks in the wall and found the postcard originally written to her.

However, when chatting with the old woman, the old woman turned into a monster, and even a clown appeared. Beverly quickly escaped.

Ricky, a man with glasses, went to the game arcade where he used to play when he was a child. The arcade was deserted and he picked up a coin.

Then, he found the clown sitting on the statue and greeted him. However, this time, the clown demon did not attack him, but just greeted him.

The protagonist Bill Denber passed by a store and saw the bicycle he rode as a child, so he bought it.

He rode his bicycle and unknowingly came to his old house and then to the sewer entrance where his brother disappeared.

What's even weirder is that he heard his brother's voice. As a result, he reached in just like his brother did. As a result, he was grabbed by many hands and almost pulled into the sewer.

Finally, he escaped and got the paper boat he folded for his brother.

Fatty Ben took the page that Beverly signed for him. He thought it was his token.

When everyone gathered again, a skateboard appeared with provocative words written on it, telling Lord Bill that he could not save his brother back then, and he could not save the little boy living in his house now.

Bill went to save the little boy, but the clown demon killed the little boy in front of Bill.

There is a problem that senior horror fans seem to have discovered. When the clown demon catches other people, he directly kills them. But for the protagonist, he did not kill them.

Why are you reluctant to kill?

Mike was almost killed by the villain, but Ricky rushed to kill the villain.

Everyone found out that Bill was looking for the clown demon, and Bill rushed there immediately. Under Mike's auspices, they sacrificed tokens to destroy the clown demon.

As a result, this method didn't work at all.

After some dangers and struggles, Medicine Jar Eddie remembered his method of dealing with the leprosy monster. He explained this method, saying that it should suffocate the opponent and make him feel useless. Make him feel small, weak and weak.

Weak.

So one by one, they began to criticize the clown demon, treating the clown demon as the image they feared in their hearts, and scolded the clown demon.

Sure enough, they succeeded. They crushed the clown demon's heart and solved the clown demon. Even the old house collapsed.

From this point of view, the clown demon should have been completely eliminated.

Unfortunately, Medicine Jar Eddie died.

The clown demon is solved, and the protagonist Bill discovers that he can write the ending of the story.

And Beverly also kissed Ben.

Mike left the town. He stayed in the town because he wanted to help his parents restore their reputation. Because after the death of Mike's parents, under the influence of the clown demon, the town history recorded that Mike's parents were two drug addicts who died in the fire.

Now that the clown demon has been eliminated, the records in the town's history have also changed, and Mike's parents have finally regained their reputation and turned from drug addicts into citizens.

They received a letter from the wife of the curly-haired man Stanley. It turned out that Stanley was afraid. He believed that if the seven people did not work together, they would not be able to defeat the clown demon.

The audience recalled Stanley's performance in the first film. Every time Stanley was withdrawn and passive, unwilling to enter the tunnel or the old house, and would find excuses to stay outside for fun.

After being caught by the clown demon, everyone else will resist, but he will not resist, just waiting for others to save him.

In the first part, after seven people defeated the clown demon, Stanley was the first to leave.

When the movie ended and the lights came on, the audience started talking.

"The Return of the Clown" is not scary!

It doesn’t have the same amazing feeling as the first part.

"Fake, it's so random!"

"Such a powerful clown demon was scolded to death?"

"Unreasonable!"

"Huang Yiyu is so hateful, he actually came here to make money and take random pictures!"

"The screenwriter should be scolded. It was just a random script written just to make money!"

"What a waste of character!"

The audience left the cinema talking and then expressed their opinions online.

“It doesn’t look good!”

"Cheated!"

"It's just a bad script that just makes no money!"

"I can only say that I watched it for the ending."

"It's actually not that bad!"

“I think it looks great!”

"I also think it's very beautiful, very scary!"

"Horror World" movie review:

"Such a powerful clown demon was actually scolded to death?

What the film wants to show is that if you despise the clown demon, the clown demon will become weaker.

This setting is so uncomfortable.

The running time of nearly three hours makes people feel dragged out. There are also some comedy passages interspersed, which makes people feel very abrupt and contradicts the horror film.

I wanted to create a scary atmosphere, but I found that it repeated the same routine as the first one and had no new ideas.

…”

Film review of "Entertainment Hao Lai Hu":

"Many viewers may think that the second part is not as good as the first one.

From a horror perspective, from a sense of rhythm and freshness, this is indeed the case.

But from a conceptual point of view, "Joker 2" is better than the first one.

The first part is ostensibly about the protagonists who defeated the clown demon twenty-seven years ago and overcame their inner terror.

But when they grew up, they didn't change.

Medicine Jar Eddie dare not say no to the other person's desire to control in an intimate relationship. When he was a child, he said no to his mother, but when he grew up, the wife he married had the same desire to control him as his mother.

The same is true for Beverly. She was domestically abused by her father when she was a child, which was her shadow and inner fear. But when she grew up, she married a husband who also violently beat her.

Bill still couldn't shake off the guilt over his brother's death.

Fatty Ben never dared to confess his love to Beverly.

What does it mean? It means that terror will never disappear.

Not in our hearts, but around us, in this society.

…”
