Yang Ye just gave Fatty Wang some advice on how to shoot, but he didn't bother to care.
It's just that he traveled through time once, and he wanted to explain it to future audiences.
Zhao Min’s phrase “I’ll be waiting for you in Dadu” was read by many people when they were children, but they didn’t wait until they reached adulthood.
Later on, Fatty Wang just lost his money and made a movie called "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword", which was released on the Internet. He even used Zhao Min's words to hype it up.
But things have changed and people have changed. The group of people back then were all old, so he could only replace a new group of people to act.
As a result, the people who were replaced were no more than a few years younger than the original cast, which made people feel off-putting.
Yang Ye and Fatty Wang beeped for a while, the guests had almost arrived, and the premiere officially began.
At the premiere, the host Deborah raised a question; "This year's blockbuster movie is just "Jurassic Park". That is not the genre that Hong Kong is good at.
But "Kung Fu" shows off cool features The effect caused subsequent martial arts films to be affected, with box office plummeting, and even Jet Li quit the market.
Many people say that the future is the era of CG special effects, and traditional action movies can no longer be made. Is that so?”
Yang Ye thought for a while and said: "There are many reasons for the box office drop of Hong Kong movies in the second half of this year. The advancement of special effects is only one aspect.
I have always believed that there are two main aspects for commercial movies to be successful. The first is to have a strong script, and the second is to create spectacles. It's a good movie, it has both, and it's basically a box office hit.
The problem with Hong Kong movies now is that they are too overproduced, the scripts are not solid, and the action is not innovative.
In order to rush the work, they are all licensed products. If the audience is tired of them, the box office will naturally fail
Problems with the script can be solved by calming down and polishing it with all your heart.
As for spectacle, the emerging CG special effects are naturally a good way to go, but traditional action movies may not be impossible.
This year's global box office hit "The End of the World" and "The End of the World" relied on real shooting to create explosive scenes.
This year's Aaron's "Crime" is also very innovative. Even Aaron is innovating and transforming. Some people are still thinking of fooling the audience. If it fails at the box office, they can't blame others. "
Deborah asked: "I heard that our film "Speed" does not use special effects and relies entirely on real shooting, right? ”
"Basically, every shot is shot in real life."
Deborah said to the audience: "Director Yang has been exploring CG special effects over the years and is a pioneer in this field.
But Today, let me Let’s wait and see what Director Yang will look like without special effects and returning to his original nature!”
……
Yang Ye’s version of “Speed” opens with the most beautiful landmark building in Hong Kong! , Bank of China Tower.
This building was designed by the famous Chinese designer Ieoh Ming Pei, with a height of 368 meters. When it was built, it was the tallest building in Asia, but it was replaced by the taller Central Building in 1993.
Of course, the actual shooting was done in an abandoned building, and editing techniques were used to achieve the effect of being fake and real.
After a shot shows the beautiful and upright figure of the Bank of China Building, the plot officially begins.
The villain played by Luo Lie used a bomb to break the cable of the elevator, trapping a group of passengers in the elevator.
He also installed a bomb on the elevator and asked the police to extort five million Hong Kong dollars.
Naturally, the police could not give money, so they tried to rescue the passengers.
From here on, various thrilling plots emerge one after another, leaving people breathless.
Yang Ye plays a policeman this time, who figured out how to use the cable of the rooftop crane to hang the elevator to prevent it from crashing.
As a result, the crane's boom was pulled off, but it got stuck, and the elevator temporarily stopped falling.
The police could only rescue the hostages one by one from the partially opened elevator door.
But that half of the boom cannot hold the elevator at all, and there is a risk of crashing at any time.
Once the elevator falls, the person coming out of the elevator may be cut into two pieces.
This plot uses the "cross-montage" editing technique, and the two scenes are switched in turn, creating a tense and exciting feeling.
This kind of cross-editing also has a name, called "last minute rescue", which was invented by the "King of Movies" Griffith.
It breaks the narrative principles of traditional drama and creates a narrative time and space that truly conforms to the laws of film art.
The police pulled the person out of the elevator and added various reactions from the passengers. One of the women was timid and hid in a corner refusing to come up.
The rescuers stretched out their hands but could not reach him, so they could only encourage her constantly.
In another scene, the cable was being pulled rattling, the boom was bending little by little, and the elevator was falling down little by little.
Coupled with the exciting music to enhance the atmosphere, the audience's hearts were stuck in their throats.
There was a "bang", the stuck crane arm finally broke, and the elevator fell.
At this critical moment, the man finally mustered up the courage to reach out to the police and was pulled up.
“Damn, I’m scared to death!”
“This woman must be crazy. If she were one second later, she would be in two.”
“ If she had been two seconds late, she would have become a piece of meat.”
The audience clapped their chests and complained to relieve their tension.
Next, Yang Ye received an award for meritorious service and went to a bar to have fun with his friends.
On an ordinary morning, many people were rushing to go to work, and the heroine Guan Zhilin got on a bus.
The picture was beautiful for a few minutes, allowing the audience to take a breath for a while, and then started to cause trouble again.
Luo Lie, who escaped, took revenge because Yang Ye ruined his good deeds and failed to extort money.
Luo Lie planted a bomb on a moving public bus and called Yang Ye to ask him to rescue people.
He told Yang Ye that if the bus traveled less than 50 miles, it would explode, killing all the people in the bus.
Yang Ye immediately chased the car, but naturally it was just a little bit close. The speed of the bus was already over fifty miles.
Here Zhang Guorong plays a guest role as a young man, driving a luxury car to pick up girls, but is stopped by Yang Ye, and the two of them chase the bus together.
After that, I kept making a fuss about "speed". From time to time, I would display the speedometer of the bus. The needle was dangling near 50 miles, creating a tense atmosphere.
Yang Ye jumped on the bus in an extremely desperate way. As soon as he revealed his identity, the criminals on the bus became nervous. Although they were subdued by Yang Ye, they fired a shot in the chaos and hit him. The driver.
At this time Guan Zhilin stepped forward and took over the steering wheel.
“I’m sorry, female driver, it’s over now!” someone in the audience complained maliciously.
It is impossible to drive well because you cannot slow down or brake, so you have to rush past whatever is in front of you.
There are running traffic lights, running through roadblocks, hitting strollers, serial car accidents, and elementary school students crossing the road. Along the way, there are various situations and thrills.
Guan Zhilin brought out the characteristics of a female driver to the fullest, lying on the steering wheel and screaming at every turn, which made the tension even more intense.
Fortunately, after going all the way, the female driver's mood gradually stabilized, and Yang Ye even praised her for her excellent driving skills.
The story of the rampage ends here. It is impossible to continue like this. Now we have to find a way to solve the problem.
While the police were trying to find ways to investigate the criminals, they sent police cars to clear the way ahead and guide the bus to the Beijing-Hong Kong line, which has not yet been opened.
Yang Ye negotiated with Luo Lie and asked him to agree to take the injured driver off the bus because the driver had lost too much blood and was about to die.
In order to get the money as quickly as possible, Luo Lie agreed to this request. The police drove a pick-up truck over, driving at the same speed as the bus, and rescued the driver.
At this time, the people in the car became excited and wanted to get off. Among them, an old woman made the most noise. Just as she reached out to the police, there was a "boom", the door of the bus was blown open, and she was killed under the wheels.
Yang Ye hammered the bus board helplessly and shouted to his colleagues, telling the fucking helicopter following the bus to get away.
Changing the scene, TVB was broadcasting news. It turned out that the wireless station sent a helicopter to follow up and report. Luo Lie could see the scene through the TV.
Luo Lie also mocked Yang Ye in front of the TV: "Live TV, the future trend!"
Some viewers complained: "This TV station is really annoying. In order to report the news, it even doesn't care about human life. If you do this, the gangsters will know the situation at the scene?"
"The wireless network is so bad, how can it be willing to send a helicopter here? report new Smell? ATV is not bad!”
“Yang Ye is the boss of ATV, so of course he has to guide the audience to criticize TVB.”
Yang Ye secretly blackmailed TVB. , there was a burst of laughter in the audience.
The audience just breathed a sigh of relief, and the plot started to cause trouble again.
The road was not completed in time and there was a fifty foot gap ahead.
“There is a gap in the highway!” Yang Ye announced to the passengers.
"What do you mean? How big is the gap?"
"Fifty feet!"
The passengers panicked, and then the movie screen showed the gap.
"Damn it, there's such a big gap, how can we get through it?" The audience was confused!
"Press the accelerator to the end!" Yang Ye gave the answer. He wanted Guan Zhilin to rush over.
"No matter what, everyone, sit tight and bury your heads on your knees when crossing the gap..."
Yang Ye unhooked the criminal's handcuffs while instructing the passengers. , let him sit down.
Guan Zhilin increased the speed to the fastest seventy miles, and the screen began to switch continuously.
The speeding bus, the gap in front, the roadblock showing "closed ahead" in front of the gap, Yang Ye with a determined face, and the terrified passengers.
Amidst the climactic music, Yang Ye shouted: "Sit tight!"
The passengers lowered their heads in despair and lay on their seats. Some were crying and some were praying.
Guan Zhilin kept calling Yang Ye's name. At the last second when he rushed towards the gap, Yang Ye hugged Guan Zhilin and protected her under him.
The huge bus lifted off the ground, jumped over the gap, and shattered the roadblock on the other side of the road with a bang.
This scene was so thrilling that many viewers had their mouths open.
But this was not enough. The speedometer screen appeared again, and it was about to fall below fifty. Guan Zhilin, who woke up, kicked the accelerator and went up again.
Now no one complains that she is a bad female driver, she has become a car god.
It is impossible to continue playing like this, so change the routine again.
After reading the road signs, Yang Ye asked Guan Zhilin to drive the car into the airport. He could use the runway of the airport and keep spinning in circles.
Yang Ye began to seek death again. He used a tractor to get under the high-speed bus and tried to defuse the bomb.
This wave of death attempts was even more powerful than Chen Long’s, but it failed in the end.
Although he was rescued by passengers who opened the partition under the bus at the critical moment, he broke the oil pipe and the bus began to leak oil. There were only ten minutes left.
On the other side, Yang Ye's partner finally found out Luo Lie's information. It turned out that he was an old policeman who was dissatisfied with the police and launched a revenge.
The police went to his house and there was a "boom". This guy planted high explosives in the house and the whole house fell down.
Luo Lie proudly called Yang Ye and told him the "good news." Yang Ye fell into rage because of the death of his friend: "I swear, I will twist off your head!"
Luo Lie He didn't take it seriously: "Your friend is dead. Now listen to my instructions. Prepare the money and put it in Donglai Square. The designated place.
You can’t beat me, you have to pay, otherwise, you, your thirteenth aunt, and all the passengers in the car will die.”
Luo Lie laughed and hung up the phone. Yang Ye was so angry that he smashed the phone. Guan Zhilin could only drive with one hand and comfort him with the other.
"Don't be like this, for me, don't give up, okay? I can't do it alone, I need you..."
Yang Ye became quiet, and he suddenly thought of something: "He just called you Thirteenth Aunt?"
Guan Zhilin looked confused: "What?"
Yang Ye looked at Guan Zhilin's face , asked seriously: "Have you ever said that you look a lot like Aunt Thirteen?"
"You think so too? My friends said so after watching "Once Upon a Time"." Guan Zhilin was a little bit Little pride.
“I understand, he can see you!”
It turns out that there is a camera in the driver's position on the bus, so he can see the entire bus.
That’s why the old woman was killed when she tried to get out of the car.
It wasn’t because of the TV station’s report. The TV station’s helicopter was so far away that it couldn’t be seen clearly.
In the original version, the gangster said, "You and your wildcat will both die."
Then Jack saw the Arizona logo on Annie's clothes and asked Annie: "Are you a graduate of the University of Arizona?" ”
Annie said yes and Jack said the awesome Wildcats.
Arizona's "Wildcats" are very famous, and Jack immediately thought of what the gangster meant when he said, "You and your Wildcats will die."
The plot here uses a coincidence to reveal that the gangster can see the situation inside the car.
But in Hong Kong, this coincidental plot does not apply.
Director Chen Musheng came up with another coincidence. Because the female driver was Guan Zhilin, he came up with the idea that Guan Zhilin looked like Thirteenth Aunt.
The movie "Once Upon a Time" is a household name and everyone has seen it, so although this coincidence is a bit ridiculous, the Thirteenth Aunt is so famous that the gangster can still get away with it if he talks about it.
So, Yang Ye came up with a way. He asked everyone in the car to try not to make any big moves, then found the news van outside the airport, commandeered their equipment, and transmitted the UHF signal to the bus. on the car, and then record the situation in the carriage, and then use this video to replace the real surveillance footage Luo Lie saw.
In this way, Luo Lie will think that everything in the car is normal.
Taking this opportunity, the police drove a shuttle bus over and rescued all the passengers except Guan Zhilin and Yang Ye.
Guan Zhilin wants to drive, she has to hold the steering wheel, and Yang Ye has to accompany her.
Finally, they used a stick to hold the accelerator, tied the steering wheel with a rope, and opened the partition under the car.
Yang Ye used that thing as a skateboard, hugged Guan Zhilin, and slid down the high-speed bus.
The audience was dumbfounded when they saw this wave of tricks. It was too dangerous.
In this movie, Yang Ye is seeking death throughout the whole process, and the various tricks are dizzying. It is really exciting.
The out-of-control bus ran along the runway and crashed into the sea. There was a loud "boom" and huge water waves rose into the sky.
The original version had a head-on collision with a Boeing jetliner. That thing was too expensive.
Yang Ye made the car rush into the sea and explode. The effect was also very shocking. Every little thing can be saved.
......
