Everyone in the audience looked up in unison, their eyes full of curiosity, and the second promotional video began to play in this curious atmosphere.
Immediately following the end of the first slice, the story background of the main film was set more than 400 years later.
Although there are no detailed and specific subtitles to explain, everyone present can accurately understand the situation, because the time period corresponding to the main story of more than 400 years later is exactly the 21st century that the earth is currently in.
Under the powerful background of this natural and deep sense of substitution, the strange scenes such as the earth, the moon and the sun that are divided into two parts in the picture instantly appear extremely magical, and have an irresistible attraction to watch the movie.
The force caused many people to scream in surprise.
After the camera focused on the wonders that were split into two by the sky, the scene suddenly switched. Actors such as Cheng Long and Hui Yinghong were fearless and fighting to the death against the "army of dirty things".
Arrive with arrogance.
The appearance is a fierce battle, and this method of publicity and slicing is undoubtedly like a powerful magnet, attracting everyone's attention.
Just looking at each character, they are armed with a variety of cold weapons, showing off their unique superpowers, sweeping away waves of alien objects with overwhelming force.
Predicting the future, freezing time and space, moving at the speed of light... These dazzling and wonderful scenes made the audience mesmerized, as if they were immersed in it.
The visual impact hit one after another like a raging wave, causing bursts of "wow" exclamations to erupt from the scene. Everyone was deeply fascinated by the various whimsical ideas and wonderful elements.
As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.
The audience only experienced the heartfelt pleasure from the shocking special effects, but in the eyes of professionals, what they saw was the extraordinary special effects technology of China.
"The special effects are very well integrated with the characters and scenes. It's easy to see that the film crew put in a lot of effort." South Korean director Kim Ki-duk was the first to give a high degree of recognition to the film's special effects. This is undoubtedly based on his professional perspective.
professional judgment.
Then, he frowned slightly and his eyes were full of doubts: "What surprised me is that the team's efforts alone are not enough to achieve such a level of special effects. The technical level must reach an extremely high level to achieve it."
Then, he turned to look at Li Cangdong, with a searching look in his eyes: "However, in the Chinese film industry...when did their special effects level reach this level?"
"Hero" is the first commercial film from mainland China to successfully go overseas. However, it is not a special effects film. Instead, it has become famous in the global film industry with Zhang Yimou's exquisite stunt design and unique light and shadow aesthetics.
As for Chinese special effects films, there was only one representative work that they could know about its level before, and that was Chen Kaige's "The Promise".
"The Promise" was released in China in 2005 and in Asia in 2006. After watching the movie, not to mention anything else, it was obvious that the special effects were still in their infancy.
Not to mention being on par with Hollywood, let alone competing with Japan and South Korea, there is a quite obvious gap in terms of special effects technology in Southeast Asia, led by Singapore.
Only three short years have passed, and the second special effects film from China to go overseas is the "Sky Curtain" that brought them a visual shock, which made him deeply feel the Chinese film and television special effects technology.
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, there has been an epoch-making leap forward.
The previous "The Promise" was simply eclipsed by this "Sky Curtain", which even gave him a strong feeling that "Sky Curtain" had surpassed their South Korean counterparts in terms of special effects.
But how is this possible?
"Perhaps they paid a lot of money to hire a Hollywood team to help. I heard that this movie was shot in Los Angeles." Li Cangdong said ambiguously, because this second promotional video showed that they surpassed South Korea.
The level of special effects provides an excuse to give myself some comfort.
But his excuse made his colleagues nearby shook their heads and were speechless.
Just looking at the schedule of the three movies, Hollywood regards this movie as an equal competitor, so how could it possibly lend a helping hand to help this movie create elaborate special effects?
Even if you have to find an excuse for yourself in order to achieve psychological balance, you have to find a more reasonable reason.
The pictures on the screen switched quickly, and the group of professionals temporarily stopped communicating and devoted themselves to the film.
"Wow -" the audience once again burst into deafening exclamations.
Sure enough, the magnificent special effects scenes have always been the most fascinating core of special effects films.
The mysterious mountain houses that appeared from the clouds, the countless silver bridges that criss-crossed the mountains and rivers, the winding mountain roads of different heights connecting both sides of the silver bridge, the winding mountain roads like coiled snakes with inlays on them
The simple wooden pipes that pass water through the mountain walls, the majestic tall black water waterfall at the end of the mountains and rivers...
The hurried figures walking back and forth on the mountain road, the dwellings in the caves that people see when they lead to the entrance of the cave, the lively downtown and bustling streets formed by connecting the dwellings in the caves, and even the hustle and bustle of the streets.
What a magnificent city looks like!
Everyone in the audience was stunned and their eyes almost popped out.
The camera kept switching, and everything they witnessed were wonderful scenes that they had never seen before, innovative designs that they had never heard of, and unimaginable ideas that they had never imagined.
The scene came to an abrupt end, and the audience immediately fell into a frenzied commotion, with passionate and passionate exchanges coming and going like a tide.
"This scene is so shocking! Civilization in the mountains! A city in a cave! How on earth was this conceived!"
"???????(unimaginable)!"
"surprised!"
"This scene is so amazing!"
"..."
The audience exclaimed that they were shocked, and the industry insiders present also had the same reaction.
SBS deputy director Jiang Jingyan's stunning face gradually calmed down, she let out a breath and said, "We are going to re-examine Chinese film and television."
Upon hearing this, KBS general manager Lee An-wook and MBC deputy director Jung Min-ho were startled.
"This is just a promotional video and does not represent the overall quality of the movie." Zheng Minhao said.
"But the level of special effects, modeling, scenery, and lenses it presents." Li Anxu turned his head and looked at him, speaking lightly: "And this unimaginable creative ability... It doesn't matter if the people underneath are deceiving themselves.
, but in our position, it’s not a shame to admit its excellence, is it?”
After saying that, Jiang Jingyan added: "The media deceives the people. This is our national condition, but we people know very well that our cultural roots come from China. Even if we are unwilling to admit it to the outside world, we all know this.
"
Jiang Jingyan looked at the screen, staring at the paused scene of the cave city, and continued: "Without a strong civilization as a foundation, how can we have such an amazing imagination? The breadth of culture determines the depth and dimension of the creator's imagination.
Rather than focusing on Hollywood, which is contrary to our underlying culture, I think learning from Chinese culture may make the development of our entire industry smoother and better."
"Heh." Li Anxu let out a soft "heh" and glanced sideways at Jiang Jingyan: "Beautiful Jiang has always loved Chinese culture, and everyone inside and outside the circle knows it. Otherwise, you SBS wouldn't have cooperated with Cui Minzheng for so many years, but you have to
Think carefully about who is behind the South Korean entertainment industry."
"Who is behind this and what does it have to do with me? Anyone in our industry should know that the people's choice is the most important." Jiang Jingyan has always been a strong woman, and she was not afraid of his identity when facing the general manager of KBS.
Tough.
"The masses?" Li Anxu seemed to have heard a big joke and said: "Most of our masses have no favorable opinion of China. Are you kidding?"
Jiang Jingyan said disdainfully: "Having a negative opinion of China and an attitude toward Chinese films and TV dramas are two different things. Listening to the reactions at the scene, don't our South Korean audiences respond equally enthusiastically to excellent film and television works?"
"Okay, okay." Although Zheng Minhao felt very happy when he saw the two families arguing with each other, it was obviously inappropriate to quarrel on this occasion, so he could just say a few words.
Zheng Minhao came out to smooth things over: "Even if this movie is excellent, it is still brilliant. The strength of Huaying and Yinghuang cannot represent the entire Chinese market, otherwise their film media would have long promoted their film technology."
"Yes, that's right." Jiang Jingyan nodded: "That's why I said we need to re-examine it. Otherwise, when the overall level of their industry reaches the level of this movie, it will be too late for us to wake up by then. Not only will it be completely
If we lose China’s market, it will be difficult to maintain the market in Asia.”
"Beautiful Jiang is worrying too much. With the United States and the West here, China cannot occupy much of the Asian market." Li Anxu shook his head casually.
Jiang Jingyan snorted lightly, stopped commenting, and changed the topic: "Mr. Li, I heard that in your Korean Wave revival plan, "Full House 2" will be combined with Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei's "Star You"
Damn it, I already have an intention to cooperate with Cui Minzheng. When the time comes to introduce "Star You", we will compare it and discuss other things."
Lee Anxu's face changed and he said angrily: "If a foreign drama competes with our local Korean drama, are you still a South Korean?"
Hearing what he said, Jiang Jingyan immediately turned cold: "KBS, you have used Hollywood films and TV shows to suppress our local industry for half a century. Are you South Koreans?"
Zheng Minhao looked at Li Anxu from the left and Jiang Jingyan from the right, feeling happy in his heart!
Especially Jiang Jingyan, she is so awesome!
This woman has always been tough, and she has the support of the Jiang family group behind her. She is already the deputy director of SBS at a young age in her early thirties, and she has always been fearless and has her own way of doing things.
He is falling in love with this beauty Jiang more and more. She has a super personality and is just like the real-life version of "Princess Nihuang".
On the podium, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei did not expect that the broadcast of the second promotional clip would not only trigger an uproar and strong response from the audience, but would also lead to a quarrel between representatives of the two major forces in South Korea.
Just looking at the noisy, active and enthusiastic communication atmosphere at the scene, mixed with all kinds of surprises and shocking words about the movie, made the couple feel more gratified and in a particularly happy mood.
"Everyone, please be quiet. We will immediately enter the second round of interview interaction." Song Yang presided over the speech at the right time.
After the scene gradually became quiet, and the couple did not say hello, he took the lead and invited a random media reporter who raised his hand.
"Excuse me, did all of you ancient Chinese people live in caves?"
The short-haired red-haired female reporter who was targeted started asking concise and concise questions.
