Chapter 305: Gravity Released (Continued)

The first-person shooting technique is very visually impactful.

Especially this kind of weightless and high-speed rolling shot, even if it is a 2D effect, it is very impactful.

Although the 360° high-speed rotation of the lens will inevitably bring some dizziness to the audience, this dizziness makes them feel right.

This "chaos" highlights that there is no distinction between up and down, left and right in space, and there is no gravity or weightless vortex. Coupled with Gong Li's extremely panicked tone, this sudden disaster undoubtedly brings a strong sense of reality to the audience.

At the same time, the hearts of all the audience were also pulled up along with the progress of the movie.

The movie has just begun, and the heroine seems to have fallen into a desperate situation.

Through the display of multiple shots, every audience can see that she flew too far.

Moreover, the spacecraft was smashed, and the astronauts were in a weightless space.

In this environment, the audience could not imagine that Gong Li and even the other two surviving astronauts had any possibility of survival.

Well, the astronaut played by Zhang Guorong has already died. He was hit by the first wave of satellite debris and his space suit was damaged in space. Is it possible for him to survive?

Now Gong Li has also been thrown away. Is she going to die too?

But she is the heroine!

"Calm down, I must determine your current position. You have to calm down and give me a reference."

Just when the audience was extremely worried and racking their brains to think about how to get out of danger, a calm voice sounded.

This voice was calm and full of magnetism and magic. It not only soothed Gong Li's emotions on the screen, but also soothed the emotions of the audience outside the screen.

It's him!

It's Commander Li played by Wang Xueqi!

At this moment of disaster, only this mature active-duty officer has maintained his calm attitude.

Although he shouted that he was unlucky, he did not show a trace of panic, giving people a very warm sense of security.

It seems that as long as he is there, all difficulties are not problems, and there is a way to rescue even the worst situation.

"Nice character images, a panicked, nervous, desperate rookie female astronaut and a mature, calm, and secure male astronaut." Zhou Xun said happily with a smile on his face.

"This kind of character setting is so classic. I bet they will definitely have a love line in the movie."

"Do I need you to tell me?" Chen Kun rolled his eyes at her, "Watch the movie carefully."

At this time, the plot of the movie on the big screen has also entered a very handsome turning point.

With some reference comparison tips given by Dr. Zhang Wei of Gong Li's experiment, the excellent Commander Li finally found her with his professional aerospace experience and pulled her back to the broken spacecraft.

Seeing this scene, the whole screening room cheered.

Heroes saving beauties, this is a theme that is old-fashioned but has always been enduring.

Especially watching Zhang Wei gradually learn how to survive in space under the guidance of Commander Li, this kind of hero who makes people feel safe is simply too fascinating.

I have to admit that personal heroism is indeed very lovable to humans, even Chinese people.

Who says Chinese people don't like personal heroism?

Commander Li's image in the movie undoubtedly satisfies the appetite of most Chinese people.

He has a straight appearance and a humorous personality. At the same time, he is calm and composed when encountering things. He is full of the charm of a mature man, and his behavior is correct and reliable.

More importantly, heroes like Commander Li are different from those flying and super-powered heroes in superhero movies.

That kind of superhero is too far away from people, so far away that no one thinks they can do it, and can only be regarded as a fantasy product.

But Commander Li played by Wang Xueqi is different. This is a very down-to-earth astronaut. He has no superpowers and nothing special. He just has an excellent character and a reliable sense of responsibility.

Such a friendly heroic character can easily gain the favor of most audiences.

Cheng Long looked at this scene with a little envy, and whispered to Zhang Ziyi who was sitting next to him: "The setting of this role is really good, it's a pity that Director Wu didn't ask me to play it."

He was really unfamiliar with Wang Xueqi. In Cheng Long's opinion, Wang Xueqi was really lucky to play the leading role in Wu Yuan's movie.

How great it would be if he could play this movie!

Although Cheng Long has successfully rejuvenated in North America with the good box office results of "Rush Hour 3" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", he has returned to the status of a first-line A-level actor.

But the box office results of the Chinese-language films he shot in China in recent years are not very good. "The Myth" made 90 million and "Baby Project" made 150 million.

The box office of these two movies is not enough now, and the combined box office is not as much as that of "Assembly".

It is almost certain that Wu Yuan's "Gravity" will create a new box office record for Chinese-language films.

Even if he is only a supporting role to Gong Li, Cheng Long is willing to act in such a movie, which can also be regarded as a transitional work.

He will work with Derek Yee in "Shinjuku Incident", which is another attempt at transformation. He will change his screen image in the film and play the role of Tietou, a good old man who does not know martial arts.

Yes, in Hollywood, it is impossible for Cheng Long to transform, and the title of Kung Fu superstar is destined to be carried for a lifetime, but in China he still wants to give it a try.

As an actor, the only thing missing is the real awards and honors with gold content. If you want to get these, you must transform into literary dramas and feature films.

"Commander Li is a really good role." Cheng Long sighed with regret.

The length of "Gravity" is not long among all the blockbusters, and it is even a little short. The whole film is only 90 minutes.

After experiencing the disaster foreshadowing in the first 20 minutes, all the audience followed Zhang Wei's perspective for the next hour and took a space self-rescue journey.

From working with Commander Li and using the steering jets of the space suit to move to the space station, to the explosion after being hit by satellite debris before they had time to celebrate after arriving at the space station, Zhang Wei started her escape journey again.

China's Tiangong space station has been destroyed, and the astronauts on the international space station built by more than a dozen countries have evacuated, and there are no extra return capsules.

Zhang Wei can only choose to go to the Russian space station and return to Earth with the help of a remaining Soyuz spacecraft on the Russian space station.

In the sound of the exciting music, Zhang Wei, who had gone through untold hardships and wanted to give up many times in the middle, was encouraged by the hallucinating Commander Li and persisted. Finally, at the critical moment, she successfully returned to Earth on the Soyuz, which is the same lineage as the Shenzhou spacecraft.

When she successfully landed on the earth, struggled to climb out of the return capsule, swam to the shore, knelt on the mudflats, kissed the land, and showed a satisfied smile on her face, every audience was moved.

Why do I often have tears in my eyes? Because I love this land deeply.

There is no moment like now that allows these Chinese audiences to feel the power contained in Ai Qing's modern poem so clearly.

The importance of the earth, the cradle of mankind, to mankind, which the whole film wants to show, has once again shocked all the audiences...

Only after losing something, do you know how much it is worth cherishing to have it.

"Oh my God, if Commander Li could survive, that would be great."

The emotional female audience smiled with emotion while wiping tears from the corners of her eyes.

Watching Gong Li staggering like a child, from lying to standing up, from staggering to firm steps, and walking step by step into the distance, all the audiences in the screening room burst into tears and gave warm applause.

With these heartfelt applause, the picture on the screen gradually darkened, and the 90-minute movie came to an end.

The movie ended, but the applause did not end, but became more intense.

In the screening room where Hou Shaobin was, even though the end credits had appeared, most of the audiences were still slumped in their seats, feeling lost and had no intention of leaving at all.

In the Light and Shadow Times Cinema, everyone was applauding, for the actors, for the director, and also for this wonderful film.

Several directors immediately asked about the details of the filming process, and sent all kinds of congratulations and praise.

"A very meaningful movie." Chen Kaige applauded and said to Wu Yuan with a smile: "It was shot very well, better than I expected."

"Awesome." Feng Xiaogang gave a thumbs up: "This is not just a commercial film, Director Wu, you are very ambitious!"

"You shot a movie that we wanted to shoot but couldn't shoot!"

Jiang Wen nodded thoughtfully: "It turns out that commercial movies can also be shot so artistically."

"Director Wu, you taught me a lesson. I think I already know how to shoot a commercial but not vulgar movie."

Jiang Wen, who already had the idea of ​​​​"Let the Bullets Fly", felt that his Ren and Du meridians were opened.

There is no doubt that "Gravity" is a brilliant movie that can't be faulted from both an artistic and commercial perspective!

From a commercial perspective, the stunning special effects, compact and exciting plot, and ups and downs of "Gravity" are all very easy to win the favor of the audience and attract a large number of audiences.

From an artistic perspective, the humanistic pursuit behind this movie is not bad at all.

The flash of human tenacity shown in the movie is very moving.

From a very superficial presentation, "Gravity" is a hymn to the primitive spirit of mankind!

Most of the time in the film is about how the two protagonists survive in space through hardships with will and determination.

It is a very grand praise of the instinctive will of human survival, with excellent sound and light, and the long shot at the beginning is also very amazing.

At the end, Gong Li swam ashore from the lake, and then went from lying on the ground to walking upright. This long shot also metaphorically represents the history of human evolution, and the philosophical meaning behind it also leaves a lot of deep meaning.

It can be said that watching it once is not enough, and you can only understand what is revealed on the surface.

This is a movie that needs to be watched repeatedly and savored repeatedly to experience the whole thing.

The visual effects of the film are also very shocking, taking the audience to space.

The details are extremely exquisite, the music and sound effects are also excellent, the story is simple and compact, and the vastness and emptiness of space correspond to the human spirit, making the film both thrilling and lyrical.

What is the movie that Feng Xiaogang said he always wanted to shoot but never made?

It is this kind of movie that combines business and art!

It is much more difficult to shoot a movie that takes care of both business and art than to shoot a pure commercial or art film!

Otherwise, those big directors of commercial films would not suffer from the pursuit of awards to no avail.

The big directors of art films would not worry about how to make the movie both popular and well-received every day.

Feng Xiaogang tried this and shot "The Banquet", which had a bad reputation and a big loss at the box office.

Jiang Wen shot "The Sun Also Rises", which was a terrible box office. Although the reputation gradually recovered later, it was also criticized when the movie was released.

Chen Kaige's "The Emperor and the Assassin" and "The Promise" are also trying to integrate business + art, but the two movies almost broke the filter left by his "Farewell My Concubine".

Wu Yuan was able to make a movie like Gravity that was both well-received and commercially successful, and that was both commercial and artistic. The more knowledgeable people were, the more they were impressed and the more they understood how difficult it was to do this!

Then, there was full of jealousy and envy.

Chen Kaige, who was always proud and thought he was the best in the world, could not hide his jealousy and said: "I really want to open your brain to see what you were thinking and how you made such a movie."

"Compared with your current camera control level when you first debuted a few years ago, you are completely two different people. The progress is amazing."

"Alas, it's a pity that Yimou didn't come to see it."

Being praised so bluntly by the three great directors, Wu Yuan couldn't help but feel a little complacent, and the smile on his mouth was harder to suppress than AK.

"Haha, thank you all for your compliments."

The original Gravity won the Oscars for Best Director and Best Actress. Although public relations played a certain role, the hard power of the movie itself should not be underestimated.

Objectively speaking, this movie is indeed the best space hard science fiction movie in the world in the past 20 years, much better than "The Martian". At least in terms of story interests, depth and breadth, it is the best space science fiction movie.

Wu Yuan is also very proud to be able to adapt this story into a Chinese-language movie.

"It's so damn good!"

"Fuck, the Chinese space station appears in a science fiction blockbuster. This feeling is so cool. When I saw the space station with our national flag, an electric current rushed directly from my coccyx to my spine. Chinese people can also play the leading role in a science fiction movie. It's cool!"

"Gong Li's acting skills are really amazing. Director Wu and Gong Li have joined forces. Why do they feel more powerful than Zhang Yimou and Gong Li!"

"MD, it's not enough to watch it once, Binzi, let's watch it again!"

After the movie was over, Hou Shaobin's roommates held his hands tightly and were so excited.

Thousands of words are enough to turn into one sentence.

"Gravity" is really good, watching it once is not enough!

Four thousand words, but only counts as one chapter.
