Chapter 541, Heavy Industry Science Fiction Aesthetic Style
"At first, no one cared about this disaster. It was just a volcano, a drought, the extinction of a species, the disappearance of a city, until this disaster was closely related to everyone."
"The sun is aging rapidly and continuing to expand. In a hundred years, the sun will expand to engulf the entire earth. In three hundred years, the solar system will no longer exist. Faced with this catastrophe, mankind has shown unprecedented unity. In order to allow more people to survive, the United Government decided to push the entire earth away from the solar system and fly to a new home 4.2 light years away."
"This is a grand and long plan - it is called the 'Wandering Earth' plan."
For this.
10,000 planetary engines were built.
In order to bring the earth to a new home. To provide propulsion
Turn the earth itself into a huge spaceship.
This is the opening of the movie, which directly introduces the general background of the story.
"It's really classic, this Hollywood-style opening speech has a strong sense of déjà vu."
At this time, Lu Haishi saw a sense of déjà vu.
A disaster.
A crisis.
The next plot should be a group of protagonists dealing with the disaster that occurred during the escape.
The group of protagonists responsible for turning the tide
A young protagonist finally grew up and understood the principle of sacrificing his life for justice.
Moved and sublimated.
This is probably the basic routine of disaster movies.
Too familiar, Lv Haishi is already too familiar with such a plot structure.
This "Hollywood" format.
"It's a bit like watching your "The Great Wall"?"
"Yeah"
At this time, for Zhang Mouzi, watching the beginning of this movie, a brief introduction to the plot background, and the protagonist "Liu Qi" who appeared next.
The feeling he gave him was too familiar.
Hollywood's classic three-act structure.
It is also the structure he used in "The Great Wall".
Disappointed?
Maybe a little bit. Although he knew that most commercial movies nowadays were born out of the Hollywood creative model, he couldn't help but feel disappointed when he saw Li Yun use such a "classic" routine.
That's right.
The idea of using the earth as a "spaceship" to escape the galaxy is still very good.
"Forget it, let's watch it. It's shot with heart."
At this time, the camera cut to the underground city.
The narrow, magnificent, but still lively streets and alleys are not made with special effects. No matter how realistic the special effects are, they can't make the real "human fireworks".
This is an extremely real shot of real scenes.
This kind of is very thoughtful.
"The movie is not over yet, let's continue watching it. Maybe there will be some unexpected surprises?"
"Surprise? This structure starts. I'm not disappointed, but that's it."
At this time, Lu Haishi didn't know what to say.
I can only say that this theme is the beginning.
It made him a little disappointed.
According to his idea.
At least it should be at the level of The Three-Body Problem, or it should have the feeling of The Three-Body Problem.
But now this opening is far worse than The Three-Body Problem.
Science fiction is science fiction, but it just doesn't have that kind of wonderful shock.
It doesn't have that kind of powerful and deafening feeling.
At least the beginning is the standard Hollywood disaster format.
This format has been used too much.
It's tired and old.
Li Yun continues to use it here.
The effect is probably not that good.
And accompanied by Liu Qi, this rebellious teenager, a disaster movie, the standard boldness.
Daring.
And his sister Han Duoduo, using protective clothing from the black market.
In order to get to the surface.
A journey to find relatives.
Start from here.
It also allows the audience to see the so-called planetary engine for the first time.
It's so big, really big.
Unlike the sophisticated computer instruments and holographic projections in ordinary American science fiction films, in this Wandering Earth, the technology is presented by huge hydraulic devices, cold steel tones, gears intertwined with oil and rust, and blue flames rising into the sky.
This is the planetary engine.
So small.
Compared to the planetary engine, humans are really small.
"There are about 10,000 such planetary engines in the world, and our engines here are still small, just auxiliary engines. The three steering engines arranged on the equator are the real super giants."
At this time, Liu Qi introduced the planetary engine like a treasure.
As rebellious as he is, he still stares at this industrial giant with yearning.
There is a shining light in his eyes.
Then there is a series of special effects long shots.
Compared to the underground elevator, humans are small.
Compared to the planetary engine, the underground elevator is small.
Then there is a shot of rising upwards.
Compared to the Earth, the planetary engines are tiny. It is true that only the three engines on the equator are slightly larger, but they are only slightly larger.
Compared to the Earth's lens, these planetary engines are like fire pots on the back.
They work hard to spray energy.
They push the engine forward.
And then, compared to the universe.
The Earth is just a grain of rice.
This long shot is as shocking as anything else.
Even Zhang Mouzi was shocked by this part of the shot.
So small.
So huge.
We are just a drop in the ocean.
The universe is so huge.
Whether it is the heavy industrial style of the planetary engine or the one in front of us, compared with the huge universe and the smallness of human beings, this kind of shot expression can show Li Yun's aesthetic style.
One of the most important characteristics of filmmakers is aesthetic style.
Just for this aesthetic style.
It seems.
The movie is not much worse.
Doomsday.
Between the ice and snow.
The cold wind is howling.
It makes people unable to breathe.
The planet that once could breathe freely, once, you could see birds flying, but now there is only a doomsday silence.
In the past American disaster movies.
This situation is usually caused by human beings.
But in The Wandering Earth, it is also caused by humans, but it is not because of self-destruction, but because they want to escape from the disaster.
Escape from the impending catastrophe and stay away from the comfortable hometown.
At least it is a comfortable hometown within the next 300 years.
There is no so-called belief in the wisdom of future generations, but it is up to this generation to shoulder the burden of responsibility.
At this time, Li Yun's consciousness was sent to the vast universe.
Lonely.
In the Navigator.
As Liu Peiqiang, as a navigator, a great navigator.
In his eyes, the earth seems to be just a small dot.
"It turns out that the earth is so small, it turns out that we humans are so small, but this vast universe is so ruthless and so beautiful."
It's really beautiful.
Li Yun at this moment.
Just feel it.
That kind of tingling feeling.
Then Li Yun's spirit changed again, and he could observe that the Chinese people who were preparing for the New Year underground were unaware of the upcoming crisis, and they might use a whole year's savings to prepare a delicious meal of earthworm dumplings.
We can also see the leaders who are overwhelmed by the upcoming Jupiter crisis. They also have to deal with the attacks of the rebels from time to time, so that this broken spaceship is still suffering heavy damage.
We can also see the executives below preparing to face the emergency plan and saturation rescue.
From the perspective of Liu Qi and others, the audience can see saturation rescue and the people fighting for their lives.
And Li Yun's perspective can see more.
This is not the perspective of Liu Qi and others.
This is the perspective of Moss.
"For the development of human civilization, some things are useless. Many people in the underground city are consuming resources. Even the leaders do not need so many. They only need to retain the backbone decision-making and executive layers to keep running."
"And there are even people who participate in infighting here. It cannot be said that the Wandering Earth Plan is the best choice, but since the general direction has chosen here, you should implement it meticulously instead of making trouble here."
"You see, if you abandon these things, the continuation of civilization will not become so difficult."
But it seems that rationality is far from you.
It is far different from the human group.
So the best choice to preserve human civilization.
Is to abandon the existing human beings and set off lightly, bringing seeds.
Is the best result.
See the ugliness and internal friction.
The rational result produced is the conclusion drawn by moss, the artificial intelligence.
It seems that these ugly things.
If some cynical young people see it, they will probably think.
It is better to destroy human beings.
However.
Li Yun is not a cynical thing.
It just happens.
Li Yun is even very calm.
"So you are the artificial intelligence, not the biological one."
Wu Hai entered the cinema.
The experience before watching the movie was not very good, not because of anything else, but because there were too many audiences in this premiere.
It made him numb.
These hungry audiences, who have been holding on to the movie ticket money for a year, finally found a channel to vent at this time.
Full, full, full.
Even the cinema in his mother's hometown county was full.
"Popcorn and Coke are all bought."
A slim girl held popcorn and Coke.
"When will Avatar start?"
"Soon, soon, wait a little longer."
Wu Hai originally planned to choose the venue of The Wandering Earth, but his girlfriend insisted on watching Cameron's Avatar first.
The order of priority is not that important, so he will watch it with his girlfriend first.
I have already agreed with his girlfriend.
All three movies must be watched.
Wu Hai is also deeply curious and looking forward to Cameron's work.
After all, it is the king of movies.
The king of legends.
Cameron.
"Avatar" has raised the banner, that is, to defeat "Titanic".
It is still Cameron's work, and it is also the work that established his legend as the king of movies.
No one has broken this record in 30 years.
Even the global annual champion of that year, the popular Batman, or the powerful Marvel, could not break this record.
Today.
Cameron is challenging his past self.
With this super production with a US$1 billion investment.
How invincible and lonely, the only person who can challenge himself is himself.
And how arrogant.
Arrogantly, only he can challenge himself.
This is his capital. The capital of being the king of the world.
At this time, the movie begins.
From a disabled person, and the scene of him in the spaceship as the cut-in perspective.
Then it is the mining spaceship of this enterprise, and his private armed forces, going to a place called Pandora, this Pandora.
Its visual effects.
It is really too shocking.
So that there will be no other thoughts and reactions.
There is, and only one feeling.
That is extremely shocking.
Whether it is a huge natural creature, you or the towering vegetation.
"My God, I feel my soul trembling"
The opening is a king bomb.
This visual special effect.
Since the birth of the movie, it has begun to develop and progress.
From the rough computer special effects and miniature models at the beginning, to the Japanese using special effects to replace special effects
The two sides chose completely different paths.
Hollywood focuses on computer special effects, while the Japanese focus on miniature models, and the two sides are even more specialized in different things.
When it came to "The Great Wall", Wu Hai was actually amazed at the development of special effects technology, which was too amazing.
It was so amazing that the naked eye could mistake it for real.
Even Iron Man and Marvel, who are also famous for special effects, always have a sense of paper in them, perhaps because the colors are too bright.
When wearing 5D glasses and appreciating the mountains and rivers of Pandora, Wu Hai suddenly realized that it was not because the colors were too bright.
They were all excuses.
It was simply caused by the difference in technical ability.
The Pandora in front of him was still extremely bright, but it gave people a feeling of being so real and vivid.
Just like this earth.
No, there is really such a place in this universe, a place different from the earth, called Pandora, full of primitive beauty.
Absolutely perfect scenery.
A kind of despair spread in Wu Hai's heart. If the visual gap between "The Great Wall" and domestic films is huge, then the gap between "Avatar" and "The Great Wall" is even greater than the gap between "The Great Wall" and domestic films.
The visual impact is too obvious.
Bright colors and realism, these two are extremely contradictory in themselves, but Avatar, Cameron, and Industrial Light and Magic have achieved it.
An absolute visual spectacle.
The colorful Pandora planet is thrown directly into your pupils.
There is no comparison, there is no comparison at all.
The plot is easy to understand. The disabled male protagonist can become the carrier of the artificial Avatar for special reasons.
On this planet where humans cannot move.
Use the body to feel and substitute.
Go into the ecological environment here.
Become a part of this place.
This sense of substitution is full of perspective.
Human consciousness, alien perspective.
Perfect harmony together.
Wu Hai, sank.
