Chapter 306 Explosion! Explosion! Explosion!

“Gong Li, who took off his space suit in “Gravity”, is like a sleeping baby in the placenta. Note that the rope is exactly where the umbilical cord is. Director Wu Yuan’s long shot has both technical content, narrative function and directorial characteristics! "——"Shanghai Entertainment News"

"It is a perfect special effects scene, mobilizing your primitive instincts from top to bottom, from the inside out, and forcing you to tears several times due to tension and pressure! From the soul level, it will refresh your understanding of the relationship between man and the universe. "--"SINA entertainment"

"This is a movie that only belongs to two people, but it is also extremely exciting. The combination of Gong Li and Wang Xueqi in the movie produced an unparalleled chemical reaction, which is impressive, and the thought-provoking lines in the movie are also worth mentioning. Let’s all reminisce.”——Southern Metropolis Daily.

""Gravity" is not a science fiction film in the traditional sense. This film has no superpowers, no spaceship lightsabers, and no weird aliens. What it has is just a series of problems caused by space disasters. , the story of two astronauts struggling to save themselves is very simple, but full of tension and surprising scenes. Not a single bit of it was wasted in these ninety minutes." - "Tencent Guest Film Review".

"The ending ends abruptly when Gong Li's feet hit the ground, making the whole movie like a surgeon's most beautiful knife work, completely clean and neat! If I have to pick a bone, the length of the film is too short, and I haven't seen enough. !"——"Douban Film Review"

"'Gravity' tells the story of a heroine whose long-lost soul returns to herself and finds her destination. It is not only the most space-themed movie in recent years that is rich in space spirit, but also a story that is actually about the story of a heroine who has been lost for a long time. A movie about people."——"China Film News"

The day after "Gravity" was released nationwide, newspapers and Internet media across the country all devoted their entertainment headlines to this movie.

All mainstream entertainment media have given this movie all kinds of praise and praise.

There is no doubt that the brilliance of this film has conquered many professional film critics and audiences who watched it on the first day.

Not only film critics and media, although there was no public premiere, friends in the industry invited by Wu Yuan also expressed their opinions freely in front of reporters or on the Internet after watching "Gravity" together. My own opinions and support for this movie.

After watching the movie, Chen Kun wrote a blog very seriously and posted it on the Internet.

"I think this is a space movie that will stay in the history of Chinese films. Not only is "Gravity" the first Chinese-language space movie, but the film itself is excellent and ranks among the best internationally. ”

"Director Wu and Teacher Gong Li teamed up to present a story about a woman fighting for her life in a zero-gravity space. There is no trace of contrivance in this story."

"This is a great movie. The Chinese film industry will usher in a new era after "Gravity". Director Wu has led the transformation of Chinese film technology and taught all mainland directors a lesson. !”

"How to make a movie that is both commercial, technical and artistic, and is very well done!"

"I sincerely recommend my friends to go to the cinema and watch this movie. Only on the big screen in the cinema can you feel the full charm of this movie, which is something that TV cannot do."

"The ultimate experience of watching a movie, every frame takes my breath away, and every second makes me worried."

"There is a long shot that I remember deeply."

"In the long shot, Gong Li keeps flipping around in the dark and endless space. The camera gradually zooms in, from panoramic to medium shot, then close shot, until a close-up of Gong Li's face, and then the viewpoint "passes" through her spacesuit. The mask is close to her skin, capturing her rapid breathing and fearful eyes, and finally the camera pans out to the vast universe.”

"The processing of this long shot allows people to feel the shock of space through Gong Li's perspective, and at the same time experience the character's fear and despair. It is simply wonderful!"

“Director Wu’s use of long takes is the best among all directors in China. It can be said to be the pinnacle!”

Feng Xiaogang also said in an interview with the media after watching the movie: "This is definitely an Oscar-level movie. The visual effects of the movie are very good and the story is very deep. Director Wu is really awesome. There are so many directors in China. I Just obey him."

"Everyone used to say that he was not good at delicate camera language, but I didn't expect Director Wu to hold back a big trick and use the long lens to his advantage."

Among the shooting techniques of the movie "Gravity", the most praiseworthy thing is the large number of excellent long shots. This is also a characteristic of director Alfonso Cuarón. Wu Yuan also learned to use this kind of long shots. Lens technique.

The effect is good!

Countless people in the industry, whether they took the initiative to speak out on the Internet or were chased by reporters to ask questions, have given all kinds of praise and compliments to the movie "Gravity".

If only one person praised it like this, maybe everyone would think that he might have received money.

But if everyone who has seen it is praising the movie "Gravity", it means that it is really a very good movie!

Again, this is 2008, not 2018.

Even if "Gravity" loses its most advantageous IMAX shock effect, the visual effects are enough to impress people with its realistic space special effects scenes and immersive first-person perspective.

At a time when IMAX movies have not yet appeared and have not yet launched a dimensionality reduction attack and technological upgrade on the global film industry, Wu Yuan's version of "Gravity" is enough to conquer Chinese and even global audiences.

Before "Gravity", the last space disaster-themed movie was "Mission to Mars" in 2000. The level of special effects at that time is simply incomparable to today.

As Feng Xiaogang said, Wu Yuan really made an Oscar-level movie.

As we all know, many Oscar-winning movies are not only well-received, but also very popular!

Douban's opening score of 8.5 undoubtedly proves the excellence of "Gravity".

"The box office on the first day was 55 million, breaking the first-day box office record for Chinese-language films!"

"The box office in the first three days of the weekend was 165 million, breaking the first-week box office record for Chinese-language films!"

"Director Wu, although I was mentally prepared, the performance of Gravity is still too exaggerated!"

In Li Xiaoping's office at Light and Shadow Times, Li Xiaoping's face flushed, and she danced to vent her excitement.

At present, the daily and weekly box office records in China are held by The Warlords. Although this movie has been criticized, its box office is indeed good, with a box office of nearly 100 million in the first week and a daily maximum box office of nearly 40 million.

However, this record was broken by Wu Yuan's Gravity in just half a year, and it was raised by a large margin.

According to this premiere momentum, Gravity may be expected to win more than 400 million box office in the mainland, creating a new mainland movie box office record in one fell swoop.

For Gravity, which has an investment of 300 million yuan, creating such a record should have been the mission of this blockbuster.

But expectations are expectations, and whether they can be realized is another matter.

How many blockbusters have loud slogans and high expectations before they are released, but still fail at the box office?

Now that "Gravity" has really achieved or even exceeded expectations, Li Xiaoping can hardly restrain her excitement!

"Director Wu, the good results in the first few days of the premiere were accompanied by a huge explosion of word-of-mouth!"

"Basically, all the audiences who went to the cinema to watch "Gravity" gave the film a very high evaluation."

"People who understand the deep meaning behind the movie praised the film's full display and exploration of the human heart!"

"For the audiences who don't understand the deep meaning of the movie, just seeing the exciting space escape plot and the extremely shocking and impactful special effects is enough to conquer their appetite."

"Now some people call you the father of Chinese science fiction movies and regard this year as the first year of Chinese science fiction movies!"

"Before, many people didn't believe it and questioned whether you could make an excellent science fiction movie. Now they are all speechless and dare not speak."

"Haha, if the company is listed, the influence of this movie alone can at least increase the stock price by 10%!"

Looking at Li Xiaoping's excited pacing back and forth, Wu Yuan, who was sitting on the sofa, was very calm.

This is just the beginning?

The investment of Gravity is 320 million RMB, which means that the film must earn at least 800 million RMB at the box office to make a profit.

The current expected box office in the mainland is 400-500 million, which is far from enough!

However, Wu Yuan knows that the good opening reputation and box office performance of Gravity will definitely affect some decisions of the upper administration.

Next, Gravity will usher in a bigger wave of dividends!

"Mr. Li, don't you think that Gravity is a space science movie suitable for primary and secondary school students and even high school students?" Wu Yuan asked with a smile on his face.

"You mean?" Li Xiaoping was a little surprised: "The government will take the initiative to organize primary and secondary school students to watch movies?!"

Wu Yuan smiled brightly.

In this era, it is still popular for the government to organize movie watching together.

Primary and secondary school students are often taken by teachers to the cinema to watch some educational movies, such as those praising maternal love, praising family affection, and patriotic themes.

Some state-owned enterprises and public departments also often organize movie-watching activities, with the entire department booking a theater to watch some positive movies.

This is a special administrative guidance under the national conditions of China, and it will not disappear until after 2010.

A big part of the reason why the box office of "Avatar" is so exaggerated is that the administrative and educational departments organized a lot of unified movie-watching at that time.

Let's put it this way, the first movie that many post-90s people watched in the cinema was "Avatar" organized by the school.

Of course, this is limited to urban students, and rural schools do not have this condition.

Now, "Gravity" will enjoy this kind of support one year in advance!

Wu Yuan spread his hands and said proudly: "Director Han just informed me that primary and secondary schools in major cities, as well as state-owned enterprises and public service departments, will organize a lot of unified movie viewings in the cinema to watch Gravity!"

"In the next 20 years, our country's aerospace industry will be one of the development focuses. Since we want to develop the space industry, we must also keep up with the publicity!"

"The emergence of Gravity is standing on the crest of the wave of the times!"

"As a space disaster film, this movie is used to let the Chinese public understand and realize the loneliness and danger of space, and to stimulate the public's enthusiasm for space exploration. It is simply the most appropriate." (End of this chapter)
