Science fiction films have always been the weak spot of China Film Company.
At least before the birth of "Remote", Chinese cinema had never produced a truly decent science fiction film in so many years.
Of course, this does not mean that Chinese directors do not have science fiction dreams.
In fact, they do exist. There are indeed a few explorer directors in the history of Chinese films, and then they announced with high spirits that they would create a true science fiction film that could make an appearance in the history of world film science fiction.
They prove their filmmaking abilities to the world!
The most famous incident among them is the incident of the science fiction film "The Man from the Center of the Earth"!
In the 1990s, a director visited many investors in the industry, used up all his connections, and even signed a ten-year contract with Tianyu, and finally spent a huge sum of 100 million yuan to make a movie that was called a science fiction movie at the time.
Wang's "Earth Man"! When the film was finished, the high-spirited director directly used Tianyu's relationship to make "Earth Man" the only Chinese science fiction film to have its world premiere. At that time, it was very popular.
It was so huge that it cost 100 million to make the movie and 50 million to promote it!
The director imagined that his movie would be a big hit internationally, and even promised An Wei, the head of Tianyu, in person that the movie would definitely win the Golden Globe Award for Best Picture...
Then……
Bad news is coming soon!
On the first day of its premiere, the box office was crushed to pieces by the Hollywood movie "Titan"...
In one month, the box office of "Titans" has been soaring, and it has grossed a billion dollars at the box office. It directly competed with the gods, and "The Man from the Center of the Earth"...
All right.
The total box office in China and overseas markets combined just exceeded 80 million.
Less than 100 million!
Moreover, these 80 million are not US dollars but RMB!
This 80 million directly caused Tianyu and many investors to lose recognition, and even directly closed the door of Chinese science fiction films overseas...
That unlucky director became the biggest joke in the 1990s, and even failed to recover for a long time!
Later, from then on, no one in China made science fiction films anymore.
Why?
Because the overseas market is sluggish, film companies are not optimistic about it, and investors think it is a ploy to cheat money.
Even if there are a few passionate directors who want to make a big splash, they are still silently defeated by reality in the end.
The lessons learned from "The Inner Earth Man" really scared the shit out of everyone.
With such a big brother standing in front of you, you still have to think about whether you can do it or not?
then……
Chinese science fiction films are over.
In the cinema.
""Remote" takeout, feel free to get home and eat with confidence!"
""Remote" game, a paradise at your fingertips, create happiness with heart!"
""Remote" entertainment, your best choice..."
"..."
Before "Star Wars" was about to start, when a series of familiar advertisements sounded again, Li Mingrui woke up from the memories of that era.
After watching a series of advertisements, and after Lu Yuan's name appeared in the prologue, Li Mingrui suddenly felt extremely emotional, and at the same time, a sad thought welled up in his heart.
In fact, the director who made the biggest joke in the 1990s was Li Mingrui!
"The Man from the Earth" hurt him so deeply that if he hadn't risen again later with the "Blood" series, his life would have been over.
Li Mingrui is a little obsessed.
In fact, when Lu Yuan shouted on Weibo that this would be a subversive science fiction film with big scenes, and it would be an exciting milestone for science fiction films, Li Mingrui felt a rush of passion.
Like everyone else, he thought of "Titans" in his mind and felt that after "Batman" created such amazing results, Lu Yuan's goal was to focus on "Titans"!
It is no exaggeration to say that this "Titan" will be an eternal pain in Li Mingrui's heart!
If Lu Yuan can really overturn this mountain, then...
"call!"
"here we go!"
When the screen went dark, Li Mingrui's heart trembled.
After a tense and weird voice...
The plot finally begins.
Li Mingrui hesitated for a moment, then put on the 3D glasses.
Yes, "Star Wars" is the first truly 3D movie "remotely".
The moment Li Mingrui put on his glasses...
"Fuck!"
"This is……"
"This feeling is really...fuck, my God, I feel like I am in the universe, my God!"
"It's shocking!"
"Yes, I remember the feeling I had when I watched "Titans", no! At that time, "Titans" was not really a 3D movie... this technology..."
"Oh my God! No wonder Ergouzi dared to say that about this "Star Wars"..."
In the cinema.
Movie fans instantly let out a burst of admiration.
Li Mingrui was also stunned!
This special effect...
Going crazy!
…………………………………………
The plot gradually begins.
dark.
First there was a moment of darkness.
Gradually, a little light emerged from the darkness.
Under 3D glasses, it is easy for people to feel that they are in an environment.
Loren couldn't help but feel an indescribable vibration, and then he seemed to feel a strange chill.
This is the universe!
Yes!
He felt like he was in a deep and vast universe!
Then...
A huge planet reveals an arc. Compared with the dots of light in the distance and the two planets not far away, under the 3D glasses, this invisible effect has a very strong visual impact on people.
Immediately afterwards, Roland saw a flying spaceship appearing in the distance, and the spaceship seemed to be chased by something.
"Wow……"
"This spaceship..."
"Oh my god, oh my god, I feel like I can't breathe!"
"this……"
"Oh my god! Is this 3D technology? Why do I feel that this technology is scarier than previous Hollywood movies?"
"this……"
The spaceship chasing behind gradually got closer. Even though he knew it was fake, Roland still felt a sense of suffocation and tension.
This is a huge visual impact.
He subconsciously held the handle of the seat next to him tightly, as if this would make him safer and prevent him from falling.
This is a physiological instinctive reaction, which Lorraine himself cannot control!
When the spaceship gradually approaches, coupled with the arc of the huge planet emitting light below, the feeling of depression generated by the intersection of the two is extremely strong.
Loren gasped unconsciously.
This is also a physiological instinctive reaction.
This "Star Wars" uses special effects to the extreme!
It is even more realistic than the special effects in current Hollywood science fiction movies.
This technology!
Is it that mature now?
This thought came to Luo Lan's mind.
Instantly, his mood began to become complicated, and then he thought about the movie "Anthropocene" he was filming.
He suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
The special effects in my "Anthropocene" must be better than this "Star Wars"!
That's what he had in mind.
………………………………
After hearing the bursts of excited screams in the cinema, Lu Yuan smiled extremely brightly.
There are actually many differences between this version of "Star Wars" and the original "Star Wars".
The first difference is that the original "Star Wars" is a 2D version, while this version is 3D.
Lu Yuan may save a lot of money on publicity and actors' remuneration, but it is absolutely impossible for him to save money on special effects. He will even spend the money saved in other aspects on special effects.
after all……
He has his own special effects team company, and this team serves him from beginning to end.
What money does he need to save?
unnecessary!
Therefore, Lu Yuan spent a lot of money on the special effects in this version of "Star Wars".
The second difference is in content.
Although the story structure and framework of the movie are the same as the original "Star Wars", which is about the relationship between the rebels and the Death Star, Lu Yuan made certain changes in the details, including the battle between the lightsabers.
Certain magical adjustments have also been made to the battle scenes, the details of the battle, and the logic of the story.
If you really compare the original version of "Star Wars" with Lu Yuan's version, you would even think that they are two movies under the same framework...
The difference is huge.
………………………………
Andrew watched closely as the plot of "Star Wars" progressed and saw the official appearance of the protagonist Luke.
Then Andrew subconsciously looked at the name of the leading actor, Tonso Kwea.
All right!
Like the "remote" movie, the actor who plays the protagonist Luke is also not a famous Hollywood actor.
Like a young guy who just came out of the cinema.
However, Andrew found that this young man's acting skills were really good and he completely controlled this role.
Then...
When the plot gradually began to unfold and the secret of Luke's life experience was revealed, Andrew realized that the framework of this movie, including the world view, was very grand and had his own world view, and this world view was very rich, and even if you really want to compare it,
It seems that only the world view of "Titan" can compare with him.
even……
Andrew has a feeling that "Star Wars" may be a series of movies like other movies in the distance!
When strange aliens appeared on the screen, Andrew felt a sense of anticipation in his heart.
This sense of anticipation made Andrew feel terrified!
Yes!
He originally wanted to pick out the shortcomings of the movie, but he found that he was attracted by the movie instead.
Whether it is the impact of visual special effects, the structure of the plot, the framework of the world view, or even the costumes between the characters...
These all give Andrew a sense of expectation!
He even wanted to know what kind of world this movie would bring him next!
This sense of anticipation is truly terrifying.
He looked at the others subconsciously...
Then……
He noticed that everyone else was watching the movie intently!
Admiration, surprise, emotion, excitement...
This sentiment is everywhere in the cinema.
…………………………………………
Two hours later.
Andrew walked out of the cinema.
Finally, I subconsciously glanced at the "Star Wars" poster next to me.
Then, the phone rang...
"Mr. Andrew, have you watched "Star Wars"?" Wilson's voice sounded on the other end of the phone, which seemed a little suppressed.
"See..."
"How to say?"
"I don't know, but something terrible may happen tomorrow."
