Chapter 847 'Sky Curtain: Soldiers Arrive at the City' (7)
The roads in the cave are as intricate as a giant spider web, with holes leading into another space everywhere.
At first glance, it looks mysterious and weird, but every hole has been artificially modified and installed to look like an arch, just like the stone arches that connect two courtyards in ancient mansion courtyards. After looking at it for a few seconds, you will feel that there is no weird feeling at all.
On the contrary, the rich and pure ancient Chinese style is demonstrated everywhere.
Stepping into one of the arch holes, it feels like you have traveled through time in an instant. There are candlelight and murals on the mountain walls on both sides. The murals are ink portraits of characters.
Each portrait is either compassionate or majestic, and seems to be a heroic leader from the past. It seems to be telling the cruelty of this world, the difficulty of surviving as a human being, and their indomitable spirit and courage.
The ancient and mellow atmosphere surged in like a tide, filling the entire screen and overflowing for the audience to taste.
Stepping out of the arch, the camera zoomed up and turned, revealing a panoramic view of the cave in its entirety.
For example, the ancient courtyard house is located in it, with a tall and majestic main hall, the wooden cornices and brackets are exquisite, and the rotten wood-colored doors, windows and columns exude a sense of heaviness accumulated over time;
The side hall is also exquisite and unique, with carved window lattice and exquisite screen, as if you can touch the delicate texture with your own hands, and you can clearly feel the charm flowing in it;
The ancestral hall is quiet and majestic. There are curls of smoke rising in the hall, and there are memorial tablets for countless sacrifices. They are neatly arranged in the shape of a pyramid on the table, telling the story of the heroism of the warriors under the dim candlelight.
Wei Ran and Lin Yi followed Cheng Xiong to take a look at the ancestral hall, and then the camera turned and left with the protagonist group.
Walking along the archway, there are some strange gray-white flowers and plants growing along the way. They are either clinging to the stone wall or quietly blooming in a corner of the gravel. They have different shapes and are extremely strange.
And the leaves of those flowers and plants each have unique patterns. Under the dim light of candlelight, it seems that each flower and grass contains an unknown story, recording the traces of time, and witnessing the hundreds of years of cave development.
How did the people here create such a magnificent and wonderful scenery in the past.
Stepping out of this archway, noisy sounds were heard immediately.
As soon as the camera turned, the whole place was in an uproar.
"Wow--!!"
Along the road that stretches all the way, there are various scenes full of ancient humanistic atmosphere on both sides.
There are stalls selling goods here, and their voices are very penetrating. There are strange things one after another on the stalls, the furs of unknown animals, and minerals with strange luster. They are all colorful and cannot be seen by normal people.
The fruits we eat...are not the weirdest ones, only the weirder ones;
Over there, there was a blacksmith struggling to hammer unknown mineral blocks by the fire. Sparks were flying everywhere, and the sound of clanging could be heard endlessly. On the shelves nearby were various weapons with a grayish-white glow, which were full of strangeness;
There was also the medicine refining stall. There were strange flowers and plants on the stall, and inside the stove was a green thick liquid that was terrifying and chilling. It didn't look like something that could cure diseases and save people, but more like something that could harm people;
What's even more lively is that there are people fighting in the street. A sword and a knife are very lively. The "bang bang bang bang" sound of the weapons clashing makes people's hearts palpitate. Two kung fu masters are also fighting equally, and the crowd is watching.
The crowd cheered and enjoyed watching it.
There is also the gurgling black stream in the cave, which is obviously so weird, but the overall environment of the people and scenes dotted here is so harmonious.
The pointed mountain that has not been excavated is deliberately designed to look like rockeries with the black stream and flowers and plants.
How can such a "cave" not shock the audience?
Moreover, at a glance, there is not just one mansion in the cave, but many around this "commercial street".
Then this is a living town, no, a city!!
"Oh my God! It's so shocking!"
"How did you do this! It's so awesome!"
"I……"
The whole audience was amazed, everyone was impressed, and more people were at a loss for words.
In a slightly dim corner, a female movie fan stared at the screen motionless, covering her face with her hands. Under the dim light, it could be seen that her eyes were filled with tears.
As a movie fan who has read countless movies;
As a movie fan who is fascinated by special effects movies;
As a movie fan who knows very well that whether it’s a special effects movie or a science fiction movie, you need to broaden your imagination.
As a Chinese moviegoer who has studied the rendering of large scenes and analyzed the special effects of large scenes.
She once thought in her mind, what should a perfect special effects picture look like? What is the best way to combine special effects for characters and scenes? And what kind of scenes can be truly ingenious in a sensory sense?
She has watched many Western science fiction movies. No matter how big the scenes are and how awesome the special effects are, they are still far from being ingenious. They always lack some indescribable feeling.
And now she knew what this indescribable feeling was.
The scene in the movie in front of me perfectly and vividly explains the meaning of the word "ingenious".
Every picture was exquisite to the extreme, every detail seemed to have been carefully carved, and the shocking effect it presented reached the depths of her soul.
If I had asked her before, what was the environment like for people living in the mountains?
What else could there be? The mountains are full of rocks and soil. It would be nice to just dig a hole and build a stone bed. What kind of environment do you want?
If I had asked her before, what kind of special effects could be produced in the mountains?
The snake spirit cave in the Calabash cartoon is one, and the bandits' lair in the old days is one... and then it seems that there is no more.
But now, the scenes in the movie told her that not only can there be great special effects in the mountains, but special effects can also be used to create a civilization that does not violate any laws!
The indescribable feeling I had when watching Western science fiction in the past was called humanistic heritage!
Looking at the big picture from a small perspective, there are such magnificent and natural constructions in a mountain. Then isn't it true in all the mountains in the movie?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although the movie will not show every mountain through the lens, this does not prevent her from imagining how grand the corresponding scenes should be.
Her heart was like a magnificent sea, churning with endless excitement.
In her opinion, such exquisite and real humanistic special effects scenes are definitely something that Western movies cannot match. This is the unique charm of her country's movies, and she is very proud of it.
When visual effects completely break cognition and imagination, it can shock the viewer's nerves, just like a bullet hitting your heart.
It doesn't hurt, but it shakes my heart.
Just like this film critic, he stood up from his seat with his hands on his head as if his scalp was numb. He stared at the screen in amazement. He rubbed his scalp and then turned around and spread his hands as if to his peers and the audience.
A look filled with emotion and helplessness.
This helpless look seems to say: As a film critic, I have nothing to say about this movie.
Some viewers smiled knowingly when they saw the film critic looking like this, as if they understood the film critic's mood through spiritual communication.
The film critic sat down, took a deep breath, and calmed down.
The city is composed of cave spaces and tunnels one after another. The imagination itself breaks through the sky, and the details and culture are very exquisite, so exquisite that they set off the authenticity of this environment.
This is not the main thing. The main thing is to combine the shots of the mountains just now, the silver cable bridges, mountain roads and water supplies, etc., which together with the scenes in the mountains form a "real" human civilization system.
.
Note that it is a civilized system, a civilized system that has life, daily routines, transactions, and ways of survival, and is supplemented by an imaginative living environment.
Those who are not filmmakers or senior movie fans may not notice anything and may only be superficially surprised and shocked by the scenes, but they know very well that such film and television items are "treasures" on a global scale.
There is only one series of such "treasure" movies, and that is the Middle-earth world of "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit". The rest of the movies do not have their own civilization system, and they all rely on superficial elements of the real world.
I also heard that "Avatar", which is about to be released, is also very ambitious in creating a new civilization system, an alien civilization system.
He was looking forward to it before, but now he sees that "Sky Curtain" highlights the civilization system that belongs to it, which is unique to China and a civilization system that only Chinese filmmakers can imagine.
The expectations for "Avatar" have dropped a lot.
In his mind, if this movie is really going to be turned into a series of movies, judging from the current trend of special effects scenes and what can be extended from the huge setting, then the "Skyfall" series may be comparable to "The Lord of the Rings"
"series.
One is from China and the other is from the West. How about comparing them?
This film critic suddenly came up with this very passionate idea, and he became a huge fan of the film even before he finished watching it. This only shows that the film's excellence exceeded his imagination.
Not only the audience was shocked, but Lin Yi and Wei Ran walking along the way in the picture were also shocked.
In order to avoid the killings, the remaining people have found their own way for hundreds of years and built connected cities in the mountains. The cities in the mountains have the appearance of mountains, water, fields, flowers and plants, vegetable markets, and shops.
, if they hadn’t just looked outside and confirmed that the location was indeed in the mountains, they wouldn’t have believed it to be true.
Shocked? No, it should be said to be the dazzling crystallization of heaven’s creation!
With Cheng Xiong's explanations along the way, the audience also learned more about the changes in this world.
Under the transformation of the world by alien life, the remaining humans have gradually adapted to the changed environment.
But just like us in the normal world, in the process of progress, development, and change, nature will always adapt to our progress and evolve crises that are difficult for humans to resist.
Such as the spread of viruses, the invasion of unknown substances, natural disasters, etc.
In the same way, alien life transforms the world, and the world will also evolve things that can resist them.
This thing is [Star Mine]. I don’t know where it came from or when it evolved. I only know that weapons made from [Star Mine] are fatal to the dirty light.
This is why the people here have the ability to resist.
However, there are too many dirty lights, and they can devour and control various wild beasts and animals to launch attacks. The remaining humans can only be forced to hide in hiding. This is why they call the cave world their home.
There is a mist between the mountains, and the dirty light cannot see what is going on in the mountains.
The aura in the mist mixed with the aura in Chengxiong's body, and Huiguang couldn't sense the existence of Chengxiong and his fathers and ancestors.
In this way, the people here have survived generation after generation, and there are only casualties when going out to search for resources.
"I don't have a weapon?" In the casting space, Liu Yifei was playing with her modified weapon, but Chu Xuan didn't get any expression, and she was a little surprised by this.
"You don't need weapons." Chenglong said.
It turned out that the potential in Lin Yi and Wei Ran's bodies was almost non-existent under the suppression of the normal living environment in the opposite world.
It is possible to stimulate and restart potential in this world, but it will take a long time to polish.
No one waits to save the world, and no one wants to waste time if they can do it as soon as possible.
The most important thing is that due to excessive use of super powers, Cheng Xiong's body far exceeded the energy load it could bear. In short, his body was overdrawn, which required a solution.
The solution is for Cheng Xiong to transfer his superpower source to Lin Yi and Wei Ran.
The two of them have the same physique as Cheng Xiong and can resist this energy, and can not only accelerate the activation of their potential, but also quickly launch a plan to save the world. Cheng Xiong's body will also be relieved of its burden and slowly recover. This is killing three birds with one stone.
Bird situation.
Just like that, under the interested eyes of the audience, the three protagonists came to a place far away from the mountain house. Cheng Xiong was going to transmit the super power source to Lin Yi and Wei Ran. It would cause a lot of commotion, and it would definitely
Attracting extraterrestrial life will bring disaster to the mountain houses, and they will have to move further away.
In the valley at the beginning of the movie, Chenglong took Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei to revisit their old place.
The star ore is bright silver, the same material as the silver rope bridge between the mountains.
Just watch Chenglong raise his hands, and the two bright silver spheres in his hands floated: "Here, put your hands up."
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked at each other, and without thinking much, they stepped forward slowly, one stretched out his left hand, the other stretched out his right hand, and covered the sphere with their palms.
In an instant, Chenglong's right hand erupted with a purple energy wave, which was transmitted to Chu Xuan through the star ore sphere as a medium, while his left hand erupted with a pure white energy wave, which was also transmitted to Liu Yifei through the star ore sphere.
"What happened to purple?"
"Purple means teleportation, white means time and space are still."
"Then Wei Ran has gained the ability to teleport, and Lin Yi has gained the ability to stop time and space?"
Some viewers understood, no wonder Wei Ran didn't need weapons. The superpower passed on to Wei Ran was teleportation, that is, speed, so he really didn't need any weapons.
The audience is very interested. The male and female protagonists finally have super powers. It’s time to show off their powers next, right?
On the screen, there was a strong wind, with the three people at the center, forming circles of purple and white energy that spread rapidly outward.
Under the close-up lens, the purple-white energy separated from Chenglong's left and right hands, transferred to the star ore sphere, and was absorbed by Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei from the star ore sphere, and poured into the body from the hands.
The clothes, trousers and hair of the three people danced with the strong wind, and the black cloth strips covering Chenglong were also blown away by the wind.
In the eyes of the audience, with the rapid loss of energy, Chenglong's purple right eye and white left eye gradually changed, and finally returned to a pair of normal eyes.
The overloaded use of his abilities caused Cheng Xiong's body to undergo abnormal changes. Now, as the energy was detached, his body was in a state of recovery.
The audience felt strange, and some of them breathed a sigh of relief and felt comfortable in their hearts. After all, the white eyes and black eyes made people shiver, and their recovery could be regarded as correcting their normal perception.
Seeing Chenglong's eyes recover, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei also showed a little surprise, but the huge amount of energy entering their bodies made them distracted, and each looked like they were gritting their teeth and enduring the pain.
"It's not okay yet, those dirty lights are coming!" Chu Xuan seemed to be less able to bear it than Liu Yifei, and was the first to show that he couldn't hold it in any longer.
From the sky, dense filthy lights flew in.
Chenglong ignored it and stared at the two star ore spheres, focusing on transmitting the energy source.
Just when the group of dirty lights approached the three of them a few meters in the air, Chenglong clenched his open hands into fists and stopped the energy transmission.
At the same time, a fierce purple-white light circle exploded, and Chenglong, Chu Xuan, and Liu Yifei flew away in the opposite direction.
The filthy light that struck in the mid-air was swept away by this shocking energy fluctuation, which was the result of being wiped out.
In an instant, there was nothing in the sky.
The audience present was visually shocked and exclaimed that it was awesome. However, another batch of dirty lights came from the sky, adding a new tense atmosphere.
Chenglong stood up from the ground and wanted to say something to Liu Yifei.
Twenty meters away, Liu Yifei stood up and unfolded the modified mechanical bow without waiting for Jackie Chan to say anything. She obviously had no arrows, but the moment she made the action of bending the bow and setting an arrow, the energy in her body formed a pure white arrow.
Energy arrows.
Under the surprised eyes of the audience, the energy arrows flew out like airflow. The pure white color in the eternal sunset and dusk sky seemed to be justice from heaven. This light of justice submerged into the group of dirty lights. As long as the arrow was in
All the dirty lights on the track are extinguished.
What's more, this white light finally exploded suddenly in the center of the dirty light group, and the sound of "buzz--" was like a guqin vibrating. When the white light spread rapidly and did not cover all the dirty light group, the white light dissipated, and the dirty light
The entire group is frozen.
Before the audience could get excited about the heroine becoming stronger, they saw Liu Yifei set up an energy arrow again. It was in the same state as the first arrow, but after the second arrow exploded in the frozen dirty light space, all the dirty light was extinguished.
Almost exhausted.
"Awesome!"
"Holy shit, this is even better than Cheng Xiong."
"Cheng Xiongdu can only freeze, but Lin Yi can also destroy!"
The audience was a little excited. Cheng Xiong was already awesome, but they didn't expect Lin Yi to be even better.
However, some viewers knew before contacting him that Cheng Xiong's body has always been in a state of energy overload. Excessive use of super powers has caused damage to the body, so he cannot exert his full strength.
No matter what, the strength shown by the heroine Lin Yi made them very comfortable.
Most of the movies so far have been about the thrill brought by the shocking scenes. Now it’s the characters’ turn to provide the sense of refreshment, right?
However, the female protagonist Lin Yi is so powerful, what about the male protagonist Wei Ran?
Chenglong was very pleased to see Liu Yifei's performance and whispered: "She is indeed the future goddess of war."
Female War Goddess?... The audience shifted their expectations for Wei Ran to Lin Yi. The three words "Female War Goddess" immediately caused the audience to question Lin Yi's performance in the subsequent plot.
The screen switched and Chu Xuan was stunned.
Liu Yifei glanced at him, ignored him, and silently retracted the mechanical bow.
The mechanical bow body is no longer in the shape of a "harmonica", but has become a circle of silver bracelets connected end to end. It looks like a very ordinary Miao silver bracelet or other hand ornaments.
"More dazzling than before." Some viewers were dazzled by this design.
In the screen, Chenglong walked over.
"How about it?"
"I'm not very familiar with this power yet."
"It's okay. Training in battle will make you familiar with it faster."
"Um."
Seeing the two of them chatting, Chu Xuan interrupted: "I think she can just leave the important task of saving the world to her alone, and there is no need for me to participate."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lin Yi's power shocked Wei Ran, which made Wei Ran "deeply affected", so he said this half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"Your ability is speed, indescribable speed, and its power will exceed your imagination." Chenglong said.
"Are you sure?" Chu Xuan was doubtful and said: "What is the connection between speed and saving the world? If there is an accident, let me lead all mankind to run away?"
"Hahaha..." The whole audience burst into laughter. After watching this movie now, every laugh point appears in Wei Ran. This Wei Ran is really a comedian.
On the screen, hearing what he said, Chenglong patiently explained.
"When the speed reaches a certain level, there will be nothing that can rival you in the destructive power it brings." Chenglong said solemnly.
"Really?" Chu Xuan was still half-convinced and glanced at Liu Yifei: "Can you be better than her?"
As soon as these words came out, Chenglong was speechless, and then said: "She is your very good friend, and you will also be partners in the future plans. Why do you want to compete with her?"
Chu Xuan sighed: "Master Cheng, although you are powerful and older than me, there are many things you have never experienced that you cannot imagine. When my self-esteem was stepped on the ground and rubbed hard, you must not have known.
Such a feeling..."
Inadvertently, Chu Xuan glanced at Liu Yifei. Under Liu Yifei's direct gaze, Chu Xuan couldn't bear the aggression in her. He turned his head and muttered: "Forget it, I won't say anything anymore. Talking too much will only lead to tears.
"
The audience couldn't help laughing. Wei Ran was scared to death of Lin Yi. This was so funny.
Sitting in the front row of seats, Liu Yifei leaned on Chu Xuan's shoulder with a bright expression on her face. This scene in the movie made her very interesting.
In the picture, behind Wei Ran, Lin Yi pursed her lips, and a smile bloomed at the corner of her mouth.
This is Liu Yifei's first smile in the movie. The audience who noticed this detail refreshed their perception of the character Lin Yi. It really showed another level of charm of the iceberg beauty. This character detail
The graininess of the performance subtly deepened their impression of this character.
Seeing the three people gradually disappearing under the eternal sunset, three long figures were drawn on the ground, accompanied by the exciting soundtrack melody, which seemed to indicate that mankind's counterattack against alien objects was about to begin...
