In the lobby of the Bird Theater, there have been many movie fans and their children playing since 6 p.m. The theater was originally designed to have a cartoon community for children to play. In addition, there is free air conditioning, so the theater has always been very popular.
Although he doesn’t always buy tickets to watch movies, the money spent on drinks and snacks is enough to make his money back. This also benefits from Li Yanan’s keen observation of the market.
Around 7:30, the flow of people became saturated, and most of the audience for the premiere had already arrived. After all, the tickets that were finally obtained would be wasted if we didn’t catch up.
"Avatar premiere, ticket checking has begun..." Following the announcement, many movie fans in the crowd began to line up at the ticket gate.
Many movie fans cast envious glances, and some began to chat with the movie fans who were queuing up. Some even took out a wad of cash directly, as if they wanted to buy the tickets in their hands.
However, there are not many actual transactions. After all, you can't make a fortune from a movie ticket, and it's impossible if the price is too expensive. After all, rich people are not stupid at all.
However, the fans who were able to enter the premiere were still psychologically satisfied. Since no one else has it, I can naturally show it off by posting on WeChat Moments.
This time, Han Fei did not appear on the stage to interact with the audience. Instead, he gave the stage to the young protagonists and became an audience member off the stage.
After half an hour of interaction, the lights gradually went out and the movie began.
First, the protagonist appears in front of the camera with a decadent look, and then there is a very interesting scene. Everyone on the street is walking in the same direction, while the protagonist is pushing a wheelchair against the current.
Later, the protagonist was found by people from the mining company. In the funeral parlor, he watched his brother's body being cremated.
The representative of the mining company asked the protagonist Richard to go to Pandora instead of his brother, but the price was a generous bonus. Richard needed the money to get back on his feet.
Then, the audience saw the mysterious and fantastical Pandora, a planet with extremely high forest coverage. Even during the day, neighboring planets can be seen.
At the same time, what is incompatible with the surrounding forest is the base of the mining company, with exposed soil, various dug pits, and destroyed plants everywhere.
"Wow, this base looks pretty cool."
"Yeah, there's also a mecha, there's something about it."
In fact, "Avatar" is not a hard-core science fiction, but a fantasy science fiction, but the shapes of the mechas and various weapons are still eye-catching.
Later, the protagonist was disliked by the doctor. The first thing she disliked was not that the protagonist was a disabled person, but that he was a special soldier. The female doctor believed that soldiers were guys full of violent thoughts and that they could not solve problems rationally.
However, the retired colonel felt that it was necessary for the female doctor to have "one of his own" in the team. The director of the mining company also said that they came to Pandora just to mine, and the Na'vi people have been fighting against them, which will make
The mining company's income has been affected, and they need to speed up the mining progress. At the same time, they also put pressure on the female doctor to negotiate with the Na'vi tribe as soon as possible and let them evacuate.
This is very ironic. Pandora was originally the territory of the Na'vi people, but the invaders did not think so. They only valued the ores. As for the territory of the Na'vi people? Don't make trouble, those natives are not worthy of having the territory.
of.
Is it very similar to the usual behavior of Europe and the United States? And the existence of female doctors is like the United Nations. Well, whenever the United States starts to be shameless, the United Nations will always act as a "fig leaf" for Western powers.
Of course, the audience will not look that deeply. They have already been attracted by the various strange Pandora creatures in the film, especially when the protagonist enters the body of the Na'vi tribe for the first time. Human beings are like little animals in front of the Na'vi tribe.
Just like a dwarf, one can't help but marvel at the strange contrast.
"How on earth was this photographed?"
Many viewers exclaimed, yes, it is obvious that the Na'vi tribe cannot exist. If it is just a scene alone, that is all. But when they appear together with humans, the sense of reality is unbelievable. This thing
It's actually fake?
Next, a group of people came to the jungle, which set off the first climax of the whole film. The various strange animals and plants made people unable to help but marvel, as if a whole new world was opening before their eyes.
Later, the protagonist was chased by a "sacred beast of death" and finally fell into a waterfall to save his life. In the jungle, it is very dangerous after dark, and some jackal-like creatures are eyeing the protagonist.
In the end, it was with the help of the Na'vi female warriors that the protagonist survived. This scene also made many movie fans smile.
After all, various soft articles about "the most miserable heroine in history" have made many movie fans think that this heroine is really miserable. She obviously starred in a blockbuster with a production cost of more than 1 billion, but she didn't even show her face.
Pass.
Next, in the jungle, something similar to a dandelion seed, which is the sacred tree seed in the mouth of the Na'vi tribe, seemed to like the male protagonist very much, and the shaman of the Na'vi tribe also recognized the male protagonist's status.
The leader of the Na'vi tribe asked the female protagonist to train the male protagonist and help him become a member of the Na'vi tribe. Then movie fans once again enjoyed the fantasy color of Pandora.
Pandora's horse has six legs, its body is covered with stripes, and it can stand up to three meters tall. There are antenna-like nerve-sensing tentacles on both sides of its head that have similar functions to those of the Na'vi tribe. There are solid hard shells on the shoulders and the back of the neck.
The protagonist was thrown off again and again while riding a horse, which also made many movie fans smile. Obviously, no matter what type of movie it is, as long as it abuses the protagonist, it will make the audience inexplicably happy.
"The prototype of this horse is probably a zebra, right? But it looks really similar."
If Pandora's Fierce Horse only made some viewers feel magical, then the subsequent scene of the protagonist taming the manta ray and soaring in the sky shocked many viewers.
Fans discovered that the scene in the trailer was just the tip of the iceberg. Through the lens of the protagonist, the mysterious planet Pandora was completely unveiled in front of the camera. The suspended mountain was so majestic and fantastic.
Especially after wearing 3D glasses, the sense of reality is unimaginable when watching a trailer through a mobile phone or computer screen.
Seeing such footage makes people wonder whether there really is a Pandora planet in this world. Otherwise, where did these fantastic ideas come from?
Of course, the next scene was even more shocking. The appearance of the mythical beast Phantom, with its huge body and ferocious habits, made many viewers even lean back in their chairs subconsciously.
With the halo of the protagonist, the male and female protagonists still avoided the prey of the Phantom. At the same time, the female protagonist also told the story of the mythical beast Phantom to the male protagonist. In the Na'vi tribe, the Phantom Knight is an existence with sacred significance, and its appeal is even far greater than that of the Phantom.
Yu clan leader.
On the other hand, the mining company has learned a lot about the Na'vi tribe through the male protagonist's report. They decided to use force to drive the Na'vi tribe out of their existing living areas and at the same time destroy the giant trees on which they depended for survival.
Obtain precious minerals underground.
This scene can be said to be extremely ironic. Those who are familiar with history must know that this is exactly the same as when European countries colonized the Americas.
The European powers at that time also wore a mask of hypocrisy on the surface. They used so-called "immigration companies" to transport colonists to the Americas.
Naturally, these colonists would conflict with the local Indians for land, and then the "immigration companies" would have an excuse to start massacring and purging the Indians.
Even in the eyes of these colonists, Indians are not worthy of owning land. Well, I have to say that this concept is very powerful. The robbers entered the house and loudly announced: You are all inferior races and do not deserve to own land and wealth.
Everything is ours.
Naturally, the Indians would not give in. They launched a counterattack against the colonists. The more this happened, the more excuses they gave the colonists. They began to massacre Indians in large numbers, so that now there are almost no Indians in the American continent.
It is difficult to even see their descendants.
The entire Americas were occupied by whites and blacks, and this colonial concept is still passed down today. The United States' military intervention in other countries has perfectly inherited this concept. When they set their sights on the resources of any country,
The first thing that comes to mind is not buying, but robbing.
The mining companies in "Avatar" are actually the epitome of the U.S. government. They take all the resources they discover as their own, and all threats to them should be eliminated.
The film continues, and the colonel of the mining company begins to implement his attack plan, blowing up the giant tree that the Na'vi people rely on for survival, and then leaves the scene in a hurry, as if he has just done a trivial thing.
This scene made many movie fans feel the same way. After all, wasn't China also oppressed by European and American powers a hundred years ago?
When the protagonist, in order to gain the recognition of the Na'vi people, tamed the mythical beast Phantom, appeared in front of the Na'vi people's sacred tree, and gained everyone's support through an exciting speech, the hearts of all the audience were raised at this moment.
stand up.
Because this kind of thing really happened in history. When European and American powers oppressed the Chinese people, many people stood up to resist. The famous Boxer Rebellion incident in history was a typical incident of confrontation with hot weapons with broadswords and spears.
However, it turned out that swords and spears could not defeat machine guns and cannons, and the resistance of the Na'vi tribe was as expected, resulting in heavy casualties.
However, at this moment, the animals whose homes were destroyed began to get angry. They took nature's anger against humans and began to take revenge. To be honest, this scene was a bit magical, but it was also inexplicably refreshing.
In the end, the Na'vi people won, but is this really the case? The colonists will not sit back and watch their own interests being harmed, and the male protagonist also died because his original body was eroded by the air of Pandora. In the end, under the control of the Na'vi people,
Under the power of a certain ritual, the male protagonist completely became a Na'vi tribesman.
The video ends here.
The three-hour-long film ended like this. Many viewers didn't even come back to their senses and were still immersed in the fantasy world of Pandora.
Applause represents their recognition of this film and is also the best incentive for the creative staff.
However, the applause this time was relatively short-lived, because the first thing many people did after the film ended was to rush out to use the toilet. The three-hour film length is really terrible. The key is that there are no peeing spots throughout the whole process, which makes people want to look for opportunities.
When I went to the toilet, I was afraid of missing the wonderful scene, so I could only hold it in.
After the premiere, the after-hours screening was about to begin. When many viewers saw the lucky winner coming out of the premiere, they curiously asked: "How was this movie?"
"You will know after seeing it. Remember to use the toilet before going in."
"Go to the bathroom? What do you mean?"
Many viewers didn't understand why at first, but when the movie lasted two hours, they understood why they had to go to the toilet early.
Even though it was already early in the morning, many viewers of the premiere couldn't help but start writing about their nearly three-hour viewing experience of "Avatar" on Wandou.com.
There are many wonderful long reviews among them.
"Avatar is not very shocking in terms of plot, and it seems to compromise with European and American values. However, the 3D images are so real that it makes people tremble. It is undeniable that this is the best 3D movie I have ever seen, bar none."
However, someone quickly responded to him.
"Those who say that Avatar compromises with European and American values must not have read American history carefully. This is obviously a movie that satirizes the values of European and American countries. The Na'vi people are actually the prototypes of Indians. In Avatar, what the mining companies did
It is countless times more merciful than the immigration companies in history. If you look at the 95% drop in the population of American Indians from 40 million, you will know how cruel the massacre was."
Of course, there is not much discussion about the core of the plot, and the audience is more concerned about the special effects.
Undoubtedly, "Avatar", as a science fiction blockbuster, not only satisfies the audience's imagination of science fiction, but also creates a fantasy Pandora planet.
Everything on this planet is so real, and even has a complete ecological chain structure. Although some of the creatures can be traced from the real earth, people can't help but marvel at the imagination of the crew.
In just one hour, more than 300 people commented, and the score was as high as 8.9. This score is already an extremely high score for a science fiction movie.
"Why don't you go get some sleep first and I'll call you then." Han Fei said softly to Li Yanan.
"Avatar" is close to three hours long, which means that today's midnight box office will not be released until very late.
In fact, after watching the movie, many viewers at the midnight show found that it was almost three o'clock in the morning, so they couldn't count on taking the subway or bus and had to take a taxi back.
