Chapter 846 'Sky Curtain: Soldiers Arrive at the City' (6)
Like under the eternal dusk sky, the whole world seems to be shrouded in a hazy veil of light.
The gray flowers and plants are like sculptures that have lost their vitality, standing silently on the land in front of them. It should be a barren land full of vitality, but all the trees are withered, as if they are telling the vicissitudes of the past.
In the distance, black water flows slowly in the winding river without many ripples, as thick and dead as ink.
Occasionally, the water surface flashes with strange little waves, which seems to indicate that there is unknown danger and mystery hidden under the water.
Further away, vast stretches of building debris are sleeping on the loess land. Only the ruins of ancient city walls remain. Surrounded by dozens of miles of broken walls, inside are rows of collapsed houses, ancient buildings and mud buildings that have been eroded by dusk.
sand.
It seems that it once had glory in the past, but for some reason it now only exudes an ancient and decaying atmosphere, becoming a lifeless relic of civilization.
"Is this the world on the other side of the sky?" On the hill, Liu Yifei looked at all this, confused and surprised.
The audience also looked strangely. Although the environment of this world was presented from the perspective of Chenglong at the beginning, the range of elements that could be reflected in the presentation of the picture was limited due to the valley scene at the beginning.
And the vast world in front of Liu Yifei's eyes, the majestic waves, the dead silence, the mysterious and strange atmosphere, it is called a grand and vast world, giving people a real intuitive feeling of a different world.
And because it is obviously the ruins of an ancient city, the other world at hand is full of strong Chinese style, as if telling the audience what the scenes and painting style of the other world in Chinese science fiction movies and TV shows should look like.
Foreign science fiction is either about space or the Milky Way, either high technology or the presentation of monsters. Although the imagination is praiseworthy, there is no way to explain the cultural heritage if we delve deeper. What we see in front of us is the magnificence of the Chinese style and other world that is typical and well-founded.
The composition can make people subconsciously feel that the story background in the movie has undergone thousands of years of historical changes.
Such a sense of historical significance is unmatched by Western science fiction. Just as the historical background of the Marvel series of movies originated at the beginning of the last century, the producers may also want to design the origin of the Marvel series of stories in a more detailed time period.
Go a little further to add a little more historical depth and make the story or characters more malleable.
It's a pity that they didn't have that many before.
The special effects and imagination of Western science fiction are currently incomparable, but the depth of our country's culture can set off the infinitely grand visual shock. As long as we are willing to explore and produce, it will definitely be more stunning and magnificent than the so-called grand scenes in the West.
Many viewers have already had this feeling. They feel that the big scenes from the beginning to the present of this movie are more visually impactful than Hollywood special effects movies. The good thing is that I can’t tell you yet, but there is something called the nation.
Cultural self-confidence is subtly injecting or changing their consciousness and perception.
"Hiss~" The screen switched and came to a few meters in front of the sky. Chu Xuan stood up from the weeds in pain. Everything nearby was very strange. He didn't have time to look at the scene. He saw that the stream of light on the sky stopped first and then started to move.
Get moving.
Suddenly, a stream of light broke out of the sky. Before Chu Xuan could be too surprised, one after another of streams of light broke away from the sky and flew towards him.
"What the hell!"
Regardless of the pain in his body, Chu Xuan stood up and ran away.
"Lin Yi Lin Yi!"
Chu Xuan saw Lin Yi in front of him with her back to him and shouted loudly.
Liu Yifei turned around and saw dense gray-white strange streams of light flying from the sky. A rare look of surprise appeared on her cold face.
He took out the "harmonica" and pressed the button, bent his hand to draw an arrow and put it on the bow, and skillfully made an attacking posture. However, as an arrow was shot out, the arrow always penetrated the streamer, but failed to affect the streamer at all.
The situation is bad, but it seems there is worse.
In the withered-colored dense forest not far away, one after another exotic birds were circling in the sky, as if they were gathering to get rid of the outsiders who broke into this world. The terrifying and murderous aura made the two of them cry.
His face turned pale with shock, and he looked very solemn.
"Run!" Liu Yifei shouted in a low voice.
Run? Of course you have to run. If you encounter so many strange birds and strange and inexplicable flowing lights, why don’t you run and wait for death?
However, it is reasonable to use positioning to outrun strangers, but when facing flying objects, you have to admit defeat.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
With the sound of two dirty lights colliding in succession, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were seen flying back while escaping.
What makes the audience nervous and strange is that in the previous scene, the dirty light penetrated people's bodies and killed them with one hit, but the dirty light in front of them only hit the male and female protagonists, and did not penetrate the male and female protagonists' bodies.
Moreover, when the dirty light collides with the male and female protagonists, an invisible force bursts out in the male and female protagonists, forming a defensive energy wave when it collides with the dirty light. The energy wave is also gray-white, like a drop of water forming a circle on the water surface.
Circle ripples.
Two circles of gray-white energy ripples blocked the air in front of the male and female protagonists when the dirty light collided, protecting them.
However, due to the relativity of force, the male and female protagonists received a strong reaction force, so they flew upside down and fell to the ground. They both fainted and were knocked unconscious.
An even more bizarre scene appeared. As if those dirty lights knew that they could not kill the male and female protagonists, they tested the two evil lights and then withdrew and returned to the air, where they gathered together with large pieces of dirty light and stagnated in the air.
Thousands of strange birds attacked, swooping down from high altitudes, with murderous intent directed at the fainting male and female protagonists lying on the ground.
This is an intelligent, well-organized group that looks on from the sidelines while displaying the evil light of its own body, while the birds controlled by the evil light are swallowed and killed.
"Can't the dirty light kill the male and female protagonist?"
"There must be something special about the male and female protagonists."
"It seems that the dirty light cannot harm the male and female protagonists, but these mutant birds can cause harm to the male and female protagonists."
Just as the audience was speculating, whether it was a bird or a dirty light in the sky, time and space instantly froze.
There is a bird whose beak is only a few centimeters short of Liu Yifei's forehead, which is extremely dangerous.
The camera turned and it was Chenglong, Hui Yinghong and others walking over.
The audience breathed a sigh of relief. When the male and female protagonists came through the sky, the light on the sky appeared in a state of time and space, and they knew that Chenglong was protecting the male and female protagonists in the opposite world.
Seeing that Chenglong and others appeared in time, this also confirmed the suspicions of many viewers.
"Quickly, take them away, they won't last long." Chenglong, whose eyes were completely white, said. The white eyes represented that he had released the power of stopping time and space.
Hearing this, Hui Yinghong carried Liu Yifei on his back, Chen Weiting carried Chu Xuan on his back, and joined the large troops to retreat quickly.
At this moment, the sky frozen by time and space seemed to be shattered by energy, and like a barrier being broken, a circle of gray-white energy ripples exploded, causing the frozen group of dirty lights and the group of exotic birds to regain their freedom and turn around.
In an instant, he gathered fire towards Chenglong and others.
In the hilly terrain, there is a cave entrance under a huge boulder. Chenglong and others entered the cave entrance one after another.
At the moment when Yi Niao and Hui Guang were about to rush in, An Zhijie from behind took a picture of a raised stone, which was used as a switch button. A stone door quickly closed with a "bang".
A strange bird was caught in the stone door, opened its mouth and screamed "quack" fiercely at An Zhijie, and then a filthy light burst out of the body and hit An Zhijie's face directly.
An Zhijie was well prepared. He punched the evil light with a single punch and pressed the evil light to the stone door. His veined fist rubbed the evil light cruelly until the evil light exploded and several streams of gray air dissipated.
extinguished.
An Zhijie then left silently, very coolly and coldly.
"So cool." Some viewers commented on this scene.
The scene switched to another high-altitude shot. Some fans and several film critics immediately speculated that maybe another big scene was about to come. The main reason was that Tang Jili's camera movements in this movie until now were very obvious.
According to the law, every high-altitude shot serves the special effects scene.
Regarding the word "clouds and mist", the clouds and fog in my impression are all white, and flowing among the green water and green mountains will give me a fairyland-like feeling.
However, under this high-altitude lens, the withered yellow color of the trees makes the mountains look like a dead color at dusk. Clouds and fog seem to be polluted by the world's atmosphere, filling the dead mountains and rivers like yellow sand all over the sky.
"It's so weird." Some viewers exclaimed.
The lens dropped, breaking through the layers of yellow sand-like fog, and going deep into the mountains.
Following the camera, the mountains hidden under the fog are looming.
When the camera completely broke through the fog, the clearly visible scene made the audience couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"Wow--"
The mist that permeates the mountains and rivers is vast and full of evil.
Under the mist, at the bottom of the mountains, there is a different world.
Countless mountain peaks are winding and undulating like giant pythons, some towering, some precipitous and strangely rising.
Between the mountains, there is a silver cable bridge that stretches across the sky.
And there is not just one silver cable bridge, but layers of silver cable bridges dotted across the mountains. I don’t know the exact number, but there are about one hundred and eighty. They are densely packed like countless silver dragons to connect the mountains.
channel.
Men and women in simple clothes walked on the staggered silver cable bridge, with wooden boards on the ground. Although the bridge shook, it became stable.
At the same height as all the silver cable bridges, there is a strange and dangerous mountain road dug out by humans at both ends of the mountain.
At first glance, it looks like hundreds of long yellow snakes running through the mountains, and the snakes are layered layer by layer until they reach the bottom of each mountain.
Not only that, there is a cave at the same height of the mountain connecting the Silver Cable Bridge as the entrance to where people live.
From a high-altitude perspective, the mountains in front of us look like a hornet's nest, which is not very friendly to people with trypophobia.
In addition, there is a waterfall falling from the tallest mountain peak. From a distance, the rushing sound of the waterfall of unknown height sounds scary. What is even more scary is that the water of this waterfall is still black, which makes it even more scary.
It makes people feel scary and mysterious.
But what is unexpected and interesting is that there are semi-circular and semi-open wooden pipes that collect water from the waterfalls on each level of the mountain. The water follows the seemingly endless wooden pipes and winds down the mountain road wall for people to fetch water.
drink.
It was also seen that many women were washing clothes with their children in the spacious area near the entrance of the split-level cave, holding wooden buckets and using the black water flowing down from the pipes.
"Oh my god...this is so spectacular!"
"I'm convinced. This scene is the most awesome movie and TV scene I've ever seen in my life, bar none!"
"Absolutely absolutely, I'm really at a loss for words."
The audience was once again amazed. They had no idea that the living environment of people in another world would look like this. Not only was this beyond imagination, but the various detailed environments it was filled with were so exquisite and real, even "shocking" two people.
Words are not enough to describe the feeling of seeing this great scene.
Even the five film critics, the five filmmakers and the media looked at each other with admiration on their faces, and they were at a loss for words and could only use one awesome word to express this visual impact.
"For this scene, I think the level of effects is beyond Hollywood."
"The main thing is a clever word. If you can't compete with technology, then you can compete with cultural heritage. Such a scene is beyond their imagination. The differences brought about by culture make their imagination go in this direction."
Several film critics made some comments, and each nodded slightly, agreeing with this statement.
The sound of "ding bells" came from the mountains, like the sound of a blacksmith forging iron.
The camera started moving, followed the position of the sound source, entered a hole, and positioned itself on Chenglong and others.
The "blacksmith" played by Wu Mengta is modifying a weapon. The weapon is a bow, which is the bow of the heroine Lin Yi. Wu Mengta is modifying this mechanical bow.
Lin Yi is already very good, but now she has to modify her weapon to prevent it from taking off?... The audience became excited and excited.
"They're awake." Hui Yinghong came over.
Chenglong turned around and followed Hui Yinghong, walking through the cave and arriving at a "bridal chamber".
Chu Xuan looked curiously in the cave, while Liu Yifei picked up an ancient book and read it.
Hearing the movement at the door, the two people immediately locked their eyes on the entrance of the cave and became alert.
"Who are you?"
"Where is this?"
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei came to torture their souls, and Chenglong came over with a smile on his face.
Immediately afterwards came Chenglong's explanation and long speech, and the fog of the two worlds was revealed.
It turns out that Lin Yi is not the only one the strangers want to hunt down, but also Wei Ran. The two of them are being hunted down.
Lin Yi and Wei Ran have the same life experience as Cheng Xiong. During the period when the earth changed and the sky fell, the ancestors of the three people had the same physique that was fused with the evil light and made them immortal.
Because there is a substance like filthy light in the body, it will be sensed by this group of alien beings and will be hunted down.
The reason for the pursuit is that Chengxiong's ancestor was too powerful at that time, and the various abilities he inspired were invincible, which posed a great threat to alien life, so the alien life has reached an order to hunt down such people.
people.
In the future predicted by Cheng Xiong, only he, Lin Yi and Wei Ran survived, while the rest of the superpowers were hunted to death in the past few hundred years.
This is true whether it is in this different world or the normal world opposite.
"So my parents died because of this." Liu Yifei murmured to herself.
"Then my dad should be too." Chu Xuan murmured.
"Then according to what you said, the fusion of dirty light can stimulate powerful potential, but why don't we?" Liu Yifei questioned.
This question was also cleared up by Chenglong's explanation.
Sunlight is what people collectively call it. In fact, sunlight is a light source composed of multiple sequences of light. Different sequences of light are composed of different tiny substances.
Just like ultraviolet light can harm humans when it reaches a certain intensity, there are also unknown sequences of light in sunlight that can harm these alien life forms.
Therefore, these alien life forms do not dare to be exposed to sunlight.
Moonlight is the reflected light of sunlight, and moonlight is essentially sunlight. This means that no matter day or night, the dirty light in the normal world on the opposite side can only exist in the form of alienated substances.
Once the true body is exposed, it will die immediately.
The normal life constitution has an upper limit. Whether it is a human or an animal, if the energy the body withstands exceeds the upper limit, it will self-destruct.
Therefore, the object modified by the dirty light looks very powerful, but it is also within the range of being killed by guns and ammunition, it just requires a few more shots.
The moment the alienated object dies, and the dirty light of the body is exposed, it will be immediately extinguished under the sunlight, turning into a few gray air currents and dissipating, and then there will be several air currents emerging from the body at the moment when the alien beast dies.
The situation of dissolution.
"Oh~" Many viewers understood. No wonder the foreign objects in the normal world look scary, but they are not invincible. No wonder the dirty light in the foreign objects in the normal world does not escape from the body. It turns out that this is the case.
One thing.
Although Lin Yi and Wei Ran are not normal people, the blood and genes in their bodies are fused with filthy light substances. Therefore, they will also be suppressed by sunlight, or by the natural environment of the normal world.
Because of this heavy suppression, over hundreds of years, the power of one generation is not as good as that of the previous generation. By the generation of Lin Yi and Wei Ran, they have completely become two ordinary people. Their potential has been deeply suppressed in the body and cannot be unleashed.
effect.
Only in this other world, which has been transformed by alien life, can Lin Yi and Wei Ran regain their potential.
This is why Lin Yi and Wei Ran are ordinary people, and their parents are not very powerful in the memory scenes, so they can be easily killed by strangers.
As soon as Lin Yi and Wei Ran came to another world, the potential in their bodies had an environment to display, and they were able to activate their potential and be able to protect themselves after being attacked by the dirty light.
"So that's it." Some viewers suddenly realized it and gained a deep understanding of the story setting from the dialogue.
Tracing back to the origins of these settings, a big world view was triggered in the dialogue between the two parties, which is also the core world view of the entire movie.
Alien life is afraid of normal sunlight, so it splits the solar system into two and slowly changes the environment of the solar system from small to large.
The transformed solar system exists in the inner universe, and the normal solar system exists in the metaverse.
The current situation is that the inner universe solar system is expanding due to the transformation of alien life, and will slowly squeeze the living space of the metaverse solar system. When the inner universe completely covers the metaverse, the entire solar system will disappear into the space where humans can survive normally.
In the metaverse environment, human civilization will perish by then.
At the same time, this is also a disaster for human beings in the inner universe. Facing the huge army of dirty light that has been released, human beings here will sooner or later perish.
"Fuck, I think I understand." Some viewers reacted. No wonder in the starry sky at the beginning, the energy fluctuations that split the universe were rippling as if hidden in water. It turned out that the energy was in
In the inner universe, it finally burst out in the metaverse when it was illuminated by the sun's rays, forming the current sky curtain, whose purpose is to isolate the sun.
"It looks a bit awesome. Is this soft science fiction or hard science fiction? It has a strong sense of logic." Some viewers commented with great interest.
In the eyes of film critics, these settings, including the worldview, are huge and contain extensive issues that cannot be explained clearly in just one movie.
The producer obviously has great ambitions and wants to turn this movie into a series of movies, so he threw out some settings in the first part as a foreshadowing.
In other words, Brilliant Era wants to create a science fiction movie universe, a movie universe of superpowers belonging to Chinese science fiction.
In front of the audience, these settings all illustrate one problem, that is, humans in both worlds will be wiped out sooner or later. It is only a matter of time.
In this case, the plot of saving the world is logical.
Some movie fans are interested. Only Western movies have always saved the world. Now it is their turn to save the world with Chinese movies. This is very exciting to think about.
"Save the world!!" On the screen, Chu Xuan couldn't sit still and stood up from the bed.
Chu Xuan pointed at Chenglong and himself, with a confused look on his face.
Chenglong nodded, the meaning is very clear, you and Liu Yifei shoulder the mission of saving the world.
"Why us? What about you?" Chu Xuan accused.
"I want to protect the people here." Chenglong said.
There are only three superpowers in both worlds. If Chengxiong wants to protect the people here, Lin Yi and Wei Ran can only do the rest.
"No." Chu Xuan was very innocent: "You asked me, a person who only scored 8 points in mathematics, to save the world. Even if this news is reported, people across the country will not agree!"
"Hahaha..." A very serious setting, coupled with a very serious crisis of annihilation, was completely broken by this unexpected line, which made the entire audience burst into laughter, saying that Wei Ran was a
Funny.
"You only got 8 points on the math test? Then I don't agree with you saving the world!" Some viewers praised the screen.
"As a member of the people of the country, I firmly oppose it. Give me this opportunity quickly!" Some viewers were very happy.
In the picture, Hui Yinghong shook her head and felt that Chenglong had misjudged the person. This Wei Ran really felt like a waste.
And Chenglong stepped forward and patted Chu Xuan on the shoulder: "Learning is very important, it can make you wise, and it can promote the divergence of thinking, but there is no guarantee that it will be directly related to a person's future achievements. Be confident, I am optimistic about you.
.”
This statement has some truth in reality, and it also allows the audience to more clearly understand the positioning of the character Chenglong, who is equivalent to a very wise and powerful prophet, completely different from the previous image of Chenglong on the screen.
Chenglong gave the kung fu part to Liu Yifei and the comedy part to Chu Xuan. This is Chenglong's plan for the character setting of this transformation.
"Next, we will help you unleash your potential..."
As soon as Chenglong said these words, the audience's eyes lit up. The male and female protagonists traveled through time to evolve, which aroused their great expectations for the next plot.
