Chapter 841 'Sky Curtain: Soldiers Arrive at the City' (1)
"The boundless universe does not count years, and the vast universe is like a multi-dimensional dark and void existence, without the concepts of time and space.
Time is just a scale given by humans for the continuation and inheritance of life. It is not that important in the seemingly eternal universe.
In my eyes, time is just a tool for us to record the countdown of life."
From the big screen, which turned from black to bright, came a seemingly low narration dubbed by Cheng Long, and there were also subtitles on the big screen.
This is somewhat philosophical and thought-provoking, and it makes the audience feel strange before anything appears in the picture.
The strange thing is that in their impression, there is no movie that can express the point of view of time, space and life together, which makes this movie full of science fiction feeling even before it starts.
At the same time, I feel nervous subconsciously. The first sentence is the eternity of the universe, and the second sentence is the countdown of life. This gives people a sense of powerlessness and hesitation that human beings are very small.
But, what do these sentences mean?
In such a mood, with such doubts, the pictures on the screen gradually appeared in his eyes.
In the dark scene, a floating stone serves as the first shot.
Why shoot rocks?
Does this stone have any special meaning?
This seemingly ordinary lens language with stones as the main subject left the audience confused for a moment.
Then, the camera moves away from the stone and quickly pulls the lens back to make a zoom movement, colliding with the viewing line of sight.
The feeling of this collision was that a lens on the big screen seemed to be crashing out of the screen and breaking the screen. The oppressive feeling caused by such lens changes made many viewers subconsciously hold their breath.
However, at the next moment, countless stones appeared near the ordinary stones. As the camera moved away, the picture expanded and it became clear that countless stones were densely packed in the dark space, and this space ended from the edge as the picture expanded.
There was light.
This light is the sun!
"Wow -" the audience who held their breath couldn't help but exclaimed.
Stone? No, an asteroid!
Asteroids? No, this is a large asteroid belt!
No wonder the picture is dark, it turns out it’s in the universe!
It wasn't until the sun appeared that everyone in the audience realized that the opening scene was of the universe, or to be precise, the solar system.
"I like this shot." One film critic praised.
He has seen so many movies, including a lot of Hollywood science fiction. With the huge amount of movie viewing, there are very few scenes that can deceive him, such as this kind of cosmic portrait that is very common in science fiction, let alone the lens.
Way to deceive people.
But the movie did it right at the beginning, with a "small stone" as the main body, and then the language of expanding the lens from large to small, from single to multiple, from close to far really made him feel like he couldn't react in a short time.
The feeling of surprise comes.
A relatively ordinary portrait of the Milky Way gives people a sense of surprise through the lens. This is lens art.
For this pioneering domestic science fiction film, there is already a good highlight at the beginning.
Judging from the audience's reactions, we can tell that most people were shocked.
The lens is still zooming up, the picture is still zooming in, zooming in... zooming in... zooming in... zooming in...
During this process, the audience looked down from a very high altitude and saw that no matter how much the picture was zoomed in, there was only the solar system they were in in the entire darkness. It was so lonely and so cold that it made people depressed, and at the same time they marveled at the grandeur of the universe and the fact that there is only the sun.
Explosive brilliance.
"Huh?"
Just as the lens was being pulled up, an obvious fluctuation flashed past.
Appearing from the right side of the screen, the solar system in the center of the screen is zoomed up and shrunk to a smaller size in a very three-dimensional sense.
Some viewers couldn't help but let out a little surprise when they saw the zoomed-out camera change, suddenly accelerate, and chase the wave away.
The audience did not react to this change in the shot, but they suddenly felt a wave of high tension.
It feels like your eyes are following something uncontrollably, but you don’t know what it is. In addition, the universe in the picture presents an empty, silent and cold atmosphere. The screen
There is no soundtrack or sound effects, so there will be a psychological hint of panic following the unknown.
This fluctuation is looming in the dark universe, and even if it appears, it cannot be well described in words.
It wasn't until a faint ray of sunlight passed by that this wave of fluctuation had a clearer concrete expression in the audience's mind. It was like something swimming in the water, and a ripple would flow forward on the water.
This fluctuation is like a ripple on the water surface, looming in the dark, and just diving in and out under the sunlight, which is very strange.
"What is this?"
Just when the audience was suspicious, a relatively strong beam of sunlight cleverly appeared, giving the audience better clarity in this originally dark and gloomy picture.
The audience could clearly see that cracks began to appear in the universe in this beam of sunlight, as if they were cut apart by this unknown wave.
"Fuck."
Some viewers’ brains are exhausted, and they think this is too awesome. Just a little gadget that I don’t know what it is, and it splits the universe?
It's like there is a small fish in the water. The small fish cannot see it. It can only see a ripple on the water surface. Then this ripple can actually cut the river surface and seem to divide the entire river into two parts.
The feeling of two, and there will be endless darkness in the middle of the river that is divided into two.
Corresponding to the screen image, the beginning of this endless dark dividing line seems to be a space crack in the universe cut by unknown fluctuations.
This kind of incomprehensible picture feeling is inexplicably shocking and surprising to people.
"What the hell is this?"
The scene of the universe being cut into pieces has just begun. This scene goes from stunning to indescribable shock in just one minute. The scene is also accompanied by an inserted list of actors.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Just when the audience was confused and confused, the screen turned and Chenglong's narration appeared.
"More than three hundred years ago, the dynasty at that time was in chaos. Many people left their hometowns and went south to safer places. My ancestors were among them, wandering with many people.
One day while wandering, something incredible happened. People at that time looked up to the sky...
God, things have changed."
The audience temporarily ignored their doubts about the changes in the universe and focused on the current scene.
More than 300 years ago? That’s ancient times?
I heard that the film is set in the late Ming Dynasty. If it is about this era more than 300 years ago, then the main film should be set around the 21st century.
Without thinking, a group of wandering ancient people appeared in the picture, among which Chenglong suddenly appeared among the crowd.
The ancestor of Cheng Long is played by Cheng Long himself?... Some viewers smiled slightly, which was quite interesting.
The sky was three poles high in the sky, and under the lens of "Chenglong Ancestor" as the main perspective, as the ragged ancient people raised their heads, the camera panned upwards to aim at the sky.
Countless meteorites pull out long tail flames and move in a circular motion in low-Earth orbit.
There are countless meteorites going in different directions, and one of them is pouring towards the "Chenglong Ancestor".
Immediately, all kinds of screams started, and the crowd fled in all directions.
Some superstitious people even knelt down and worshiped, until a meteorite struck not far away with a "boom" sound. The earth shook and the mountains shook, knocking many people away directly, or they smashed into trees or mountains and vomited blood to death.
Only then did those superstitious people who were shaken up and down reacted and ran away.
Although it was a bit silly, there was no time to think too much about the cruel scene, and more people were shocked by this special effects scene.
Is this domestic science fiction? That subject that has been rejected by countless directors? That type that countless capitals say that special effects technology does not allow for production?
From the Milky Way at the beginning, to the great rupture of the universe, to the current meteorite disaster, this should already be on a Hollywood level!
Fans who have watched "Hope" will know that the special effects team has made great progress compared to three years ago when they see these special effects.
"Awesome!" Many viewers said this.
The crowd was dying, injured, running, and wailing. Only the "Chenglong Ancestor" stared blankly at the sky, as if he was petrified.
The camera just flashed past this miserable scene, with various shrill and tragic sounds, and continued to focus on the sky with the "Chenglong Ancestor" as the main focus.
I saw a very magical scene happening in the distance in the shining sky. A huge unknown ripple formed an almost transparent plane wave coming from the universe.
Some viewers stared and realized, isn't this the mysterious wave that cut the universe? How did it become such a large plane wave of light that seemed to be an energy network, and the area was larger than it looked.
The "little" sun is much bigger!
Some movie fans suddenly realized that this plane of light... think about the "canopy" in the movie's title. Is this the canopy?
However, some viewers didn't think so much. Seeing "Chenglong Ancestor" standing still and not leaving, they felt anxious in their hearts: "Run quickly, I'm so worried!"
"Chenglong Ancestor" just won't run away, so he asks you if you are angry?
With the meteorites falling from the sky, and the sound of "rumbling" everywhere, none of the meteorites can harm the "Chenglong Ancestor". I wonder if God is magical?
Just when the audience was worried about "Chenglong Ancestor", and "Chenglong Ancestor" was using the protagonist's halo to fight hard, the distant plane wave light covered the entire sun, and seemed to cut the sun in half, and then moved towards "Chenglong Ancestor"
The Earth from this side of Chenglong Ancestor is coming quickly.
At the same time, an even more magical scene happened.
The upper half of the sun, which was "cut through" by the plane wave light, turned black! It disappeared!
The audience held their breath for a moment. What kind of scene is this? I don’t know whether half of the sun has turned black or disappeared. Not to mention this imagination, let’s just say that the sun was round one moment and half of it disappeared the next moment. This is
It's really shocking.
Not only that, the other half of the sun has also changed. It was originally a scorching sky with the sun in the sky, but the half of the sun that can be seen gradually dimmed, until it faded to the feeling of a gloomy sky at sunset.
This is very weird!
But before there was time to feel such a change, the huge plane wave light, with no end visible from all directions, entered the earth in the blink of an eye like the "speed of light".
And from the perspective of the "Chenglong Ancestor" who was wide-eyed and frightened, he "cut vertically" across the land in front of him, like a sharp knife tens of thousands of kilometers long cutting into the land.
Moreover, this layer should appear to be a transparent wave layer, just like a curtain. When it cuts into the earth, the scene on the opposite side seems to be pulled up and disappear.
The earth is divided into two.
"Is this the canopy?" A female audience member was dumbfounded because the special effects were so explosive and gave her a very strong visual impact.
The same is true for many viewers. The shock given by this visual effect shakes their hearts, but it is also very satisfying. This is the feeling that special effects blockbusters can have, and it is also the impact brought by the high degree of novelty that breaks through the current film and television aesthetics.
feel.
The next moment, the picture began to zoom up, the lens focused on the sky, and the lens, which kept a relatively close and constant distance from the sky, rose into the air.
Come to high altitude, break through the sky, go to outer space, and then to the universe...
The audience feels the changes in the environment near this sky curtain, and also knows that the camera has been zoomed far away from the earth, but the sky curtain in front of them is vast and endless, and the main image of this sky curtain in the lens has not changed.
.
moment!
The lens flips!
With a 90-degree frontal view of the audience, the camera is pointed directly at the canopy. The audience can only see the focused image of this canopy, which rotates 90 degrees with the camera...
"Wow--"
"Fuck!"
"Fuck!!"
"Fuck!!!"
The entire solar system is divided into two, with the upper hemisphere existing and the lower hemisphere disappearing, supported by a huge energy plane with fluctuations and slight distortion.
If this energy sky is regarded as the earth, then the several "hemispheres" existing in the solar system are like yurts of different colors.
Many viewers jumped up from their seats, and even several film critics were subconsciously shocked and wanted to stand up, but realized they were too excited and sat down again halfway up, but the trembling in their expressions did not diminish at all. It was true.
I was really shocked by this shot.
When the initial shot was focused only on the sky, everyone could only see this energy sky.
When the camera is pulled up, it is close to the sky. Only the sky scenes on the left and right sides of the sky can feel the environmental changes from high altitude to outer space and the universe, giving people the impression that this sky is too grand and distant.
The feeling of being out of reach.
The limitations brought by this lens made everyone immersed in this feeling. Who knew that as soon as the lens was flipped, the solar system would directly show a scene of being cut across the board, instantly pulling them from the limited perception of the picture to the grand one.
Magnificent and oversized scenes.
The shocking intensity and visual impact of this are difficult to describe in words.
Several film critics just want to say that this is the aesthetic of domestic science fiction! This is the artistic language of Chinese films! This is the grand and spectacular big-lens aesthetics that only Chinese films and television can have!
Several film critics looked at each other and shook their heads with shocked wry smiles. The movie hadn't even seen the main part yet and they were still talking about the foreplay, and they already felt conquered. This was such a surprise.
Chenglong, Chu Xuan, and Liu Yifei turned their heads and looked back. They were all stunned by the faces of the audience. They turned back and smiled at each other.
Chenglong raised his fist, and Chu Xuan bumped his fist, and then bumped his fist with Liu Yifei. Regardless of the subsequent response to the movie, the response at the beginning shows that the movie is undoubtedly a success, and it is worth being happy about.
After calming down, the audience who stood up took their seats again in twos and threes.
I have never seen a movie like this before. The beginning of the movie, even before the main movie, is so exciting, shocking and amazing.
The ensuing sense of surprise and curiosity in anticipation of the follow-up were overwhelming, and everyone suppressed their excitement and continued to read.
In the picture, the first moment I saw the distortion caused by the fluctuations in the sky, I was surprised the next moment.
I saw something seemed to be contained in the energy layer of the sky. Countless streams of light suddenly appeared and disappeared in all directions. I could clearly see that although the streams of light everywhere were scattered, they were concentrated and converging towards each "hemisphere". Among them, there was a stream of light.
Towards the earth.
The screen turned and returned to "Chenglong Ancestor", and Chenglong came out again.
"My ancestors were shocked and didn't know what was happening in the world or what it meant.
But he had no time to think about it. The appearance of Huiguang changed the world, changed him, me and everything about us."
Dirty light?
What's this?
Only a little bit of the world view of the movie has been revealed, and it seems like a new element has arrived, and the audience is as curious as if it were scratching their itch.
He saw countless silver-white streams of light emerging from the sky not far in front of "Chenglong Ancestor".
The head is about the size of a fist, gradually getting smaller from head to tail, and has the same shape as a large mutant tadpole.
Is this the dirty light? It's silvery white, so weird.
Before he had time to think too much, he saw the group of flowing lights scattering in all directions, chasing the surviving ancients.
"boom--"
"boom--"
"boom--"
"..."
Sounds sounded one after another, the sound was like a sniper rifle that was muffled with a silencer, and the sound of bullets coming out of the muzzle sounded very dull and terrifying psychological shock.
This is the sound of the stream of light penetrating a person's body. It enters from the back and comes out from the front, or enters from the front and comes out from the back. Like a ghost, it seems to pass through the person. The person's whole body seems to have no trace.
No injuries, no vomiting of blood or anything like that.
However, the people who were penetrated by the stream of light fell to the ground and died one by one.
Creepy!
"What the hell is this?!" The audience was shocked. It's not a horror movie, but the "murder" scene seemed scarier than a horror movie.
Being hit by a dim stream of light, passing through the body with a "dong", and then the person is gone?
This kind of death is truly unique. I have never seen this kind of death after watching so many movies and TV series, including foreign movies. I don’t even know how I died. Those people couldn’t react at all.
"F*ck!" An uncontrollable exclamation made the horrified audience focus on the picture.
I saw a filthy light heading straight towards a person. The person ran in panic. How could he outrun the light that could fly? The way forward was soon blocked by this filthy light.
The man shivered and looked at the dirty light in front of him. The strange thing was that this dirty light was not like the other lights that were determined to "kill". It stopped in front of the man for a while, as if he was sizing up the man with wisdom.
However, at the next moment, the head of this dirty light slowly split open, and a pair of human eyes grew out of it.
Immediately afterwards, gaseous afterglows scattered around Hui Guang's body.
Some gaseous Yu Guang grew hands, some grew legs...
In the end, a human form was formed that was exactly the same as the person in front of me.
Different from normal people, this human figure is gray all over, has no ears and hair, and has a slightly distorted face.
The appearance of this scene made everyone's scalp numb.
I didn't know what this light was at first, so even if it was killing people wantonly, I just thought it was an unknown substance in the nature of the universe.
But I never expected that this light turned out to be life?
It is unexplainable that a light can kill like this. Not only that, but this light is also an alien life?
There is no one else who can think of a light as an alien. Is there anyone here who can think of it?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Forget it, a light can still be simulated and deformed? Those experts who criticize domestic movies for having no imagination come out! This movie’s sky-breaking imagination is called
You are human beings!
The audience was greatly impressed. From the beginning to the present, there are new elements from beginning to end. This is really the charm of the original. It is not the kind of adaptation that can draw lessons from the original and anticipate surprises.
The audience could no longer sigh with emotion, their hearts were in their throats.
A ray of dirty light penetrated and killed the man, and then he saw the alien turning his head and looking at the "Chenglong Ancestor", his eyes were very empty and devoid of any emotion.
"I told you to leave earlier! Look, it's fun now!" Some female viewers felt depressed in their hearts. They wanted to travel into the big screen and bring Chenglong out. This "idiot" was in danger.
The ground doesn't even move, his intelligence is really impressive.
The "Chenglong Ancestor" also felt the great fear, and retreated tremblingly, a few centimeters or centimeters, looking like he was frightened out of his wits.
Such a scene made the audience unhappy. Chenglong, who was so powerful in the past, was so weak, which made them uncomfortable.
But in the eyes of film critics, they saw Chenglong's good acting skills, which is an element worthy of appreciation for them.
At the same time, Chenglong's dubbing came again.
"It came slowly, and my ancestor felt despair. He had never seen such a horrific scene, which made him feel despair.
But at this moment, another dirty light struck him.
Perhaps because he saw that his prey was attracted by his own kind, the Huiguang Man turned around and walked away.
However, what it doesn't know is that my ancestors were eroded by the dirty light...
Not dead."
The audience blinked and saw a ray of filthy light penetrate into the body of "Ancestor Cheng Long", but did not pass out from behind, as if the ray of filthy light stayed in the body of "Ancestor Cheng Long".
However, "Ancestor Chenglong" still fell to the ground and was unconscious.
This piece of earth divided by the sky seems to have no time to exist. I don’t know how long it has passed, but the sky is still dim, as if the whole world is frozen in the sunset and dusk.
At this time, "Chenglong Ancestor" opened his eyes on the ground, but his eyes were pitch black with no eyeballs.
"Maybe it's because my ancestors had different physiques. The dirty light didn't hurt him, but instead merged with his body."
"In this way, my ancestors passed it down from generation to generation, and finally it was passed down to me now. This is why I have very powerful abilities in your eyes."
Without waiting for the audience's reaction, the ancient scene switched to a jungle of flowers and plants.
One film critic laughed, this is a feature film.
"Then, then, how did Grandmaster kill all those dirty lights?"
A group of little kids were sitting on the grass. Chenglong was sitting on a stone like a tribal leader, telling the kids stories.
One film critic's eyes lit up. The dubbing from the beginning to the present is not a narration, but Chenglong in the main film timeline telling a story to people. The scene at the beginning is just an explanatory expression to match the story being told.
The editing switching between the foreplay and the main film is very smooth, without any sense of dissonance or separation, which makes people very comfortable to watch, and also makes the meaning of the foreplay not only to explain the background, but also to explain the background.
Play the feature film.
This editing technique is good and must be praised.
One film critic raised his hand and looked at his watch. The foreplay lasted five minutes.
He nodded, and in just five minutes he presented the story's antecedents, combined with the elements of a "special effects blockbuster" with large backgrounds and special effects. The rhythm of the story is very good, and his storytelling ability is really excellent. He is worthy of the title of the international director Tang Ji.
Here, if another director had made a pioneering science fiction film and only used five minutes as the opening foreplay, there is a high probability that it would not have such an explosive effect.
At the same time, the tight rhythm of the story also leads to suspense: What abilities does Chenglong have?
Not only did he look forward to it, but the entire audience also watched with interest, waiting for the secret to be revealed.
