Chapter 1513 The Age of Fever (First update, please subscribe)
Human beings are full of imagination about space. Since ancient times, humans have been looking up at the stars and imagining space.
In people's imagination, space is romantic. Horrible, mythical, all kinds of imagination, but it is only limited to imagination.
After all, limited by the level of science and technology, humans can only use their imagination to imagine space.
Until now.
It was not until seven years ago, when humans first entered space, that words such as vacuum and weightlessness became familiar to the world.
Even though they know that space is dangerous, people are still eager to enter space, imagining that humans will have interstellar adventures and interstellar migrations in the vast space, just like in the Age of Discovery. The stars turned into seas, and humans conquered space.
Human imagination is always rich, and at this time, the movie "Star Wars" just satisfies mankind's yearning and curiosity about space.
The space races and all kinds of strange plants depicted in the "Star Wars" movie, and of course the grand scenes, also made people hooked.
The kind of direct visual impact that it brings to people of this era is unprecedented, and because of this, the sensation it brings is also unprecedented.
The movie "Star Wars", in this era when mankind has just ignited the "space dream", has had an unprecedented impact on the world, just like in history,
Its influence has long exceeded the scope of movies, forming a unique "Star Wars culture".
As a film director, Jeanne Moreau has become one of the most famous directors in the world. Last year, when people all over the world were obsessed with the impact of "Star Wars", the news spread like a thunder. Out - "Star Wars 2" will be released this summer!
For a time, the whole world was looking forward to this movie.
No one thought that the sequel would be released so quickly. After all, "Star Wars" took three years to film, but "Star Wars 2" only took more than a year... This is simply a miracle!
In fact, it is not a miracle at all. After all, there are many real-life props and special effects techniques that have been produced and researched in the first movie.
As a result, a stunning film came out again a year and a half later, unlike "Star Wars" which was first released in SEA and then in Hollywood.
This time, it will be released simultaneously around the world - it will be released during the summer season in North America and the Hollywood summer season, which lasts from early May to early September every year.
This is the time of year when movie ticket sales are at their highest.
A week after the Soviet Union successfully launched the N1 rocket, when the image of the lunar module landing on the moon was repeatedly played on TVs around the world, and when people were amazed by the Soviet Union's aerospace achievements, "Star Wars 2" was released!
The release of "Star Wars 2" is undoubtedly a grand festival for the numerous Star Wars fans around the world.
As a Star Wars fan, George Lucas can't help but feel a little annoyed now. If it is not in a big city, but in the small city of his hometown, at least there is no need to exclude it. Although there are Star Wars fans there, they are not There were huge crowds of people in the movie theaters, and in big cities such as New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and Detroit, the most ardent Star Wars fans came to the movie theaters and lined up in long lines the day before the movie was released. Some people even I quit my job just to buy a movie ticket.
And in Los Angeles, there are really a lot of people!
On the day of the premiere, there were huge crowds of people in front of all the movie theaters in the United States. People lined up there, and the most eye-catching ones in front of the movie theater were undoubtedly the robot R2D2 and the chatty C-3PO.
Although it was just a model, it attracted many people to take pictures there. Of course, there were many people wearing Star Wars costumes. Such copies were very common at the premiere of "Star Wars 2".
There were even many people copying Stormtroopers, and there were many young and beautiful women cosplaying Stormtroopers in Los Angeles, lining up to watch the premiere.
It is precisely because of this that some people are making fun of it.
"Oh my God, I finally know why the Stormtroopers wear armor!"
When the stormtroopers came, friends around George Lucas exclaimed:
"Because the stormtroopers actually look like this. If they don't wear armor, I'm afraid the enemy won't be able to control them."
"Stormtrooper, beautiful woman?"
Although for George Lucas, he has no idea why the "ruthless Stormtrooper" is associated with women.
But like many people, when he saw these beautiful stormtroopers, he took it for granted - these are stormtroopers!
Like many people, he was just queuing there, waiting to buy movies and go in to watch movies. Everyone was very self-conscious and only lined up in front of the theater.
After waiting in line for who knows how long, George Lucas walked into the theater.
The cinema was already packed.
When the familiar melody sounded, people once again saw the stars twinkling in the sky on the movie screen. This was already a very familiar sight,
At this time someone said:
"Are there really aliens in the distant galaxy?"
"Aliens?"
"Yes, there must be..."
Listening to people talking, George Lucas took a sip of Fanta. Sure enough, the carbonated feed with juice flavor was a bit strange, but it was the feed in "Star Wars", and even aliens drank it.
Once again, the grand scene shocked all the audience. Like many people, George Lucas was fascinated by it and couldn't help himself.
When watching the scene of them escaping from pursuit on flying motorcycles, George Lucas opened his eyes in shock. How were such special effects produced?
After a month-long publicity period, "Star Wars 2" completely exploded upon its release. It was as expected, and even a little more exaggerated than expected.
"It's wonderful!"
“It’s really fun to watch!”
"The whole cinema was filled with exclamations!"
"It's even more shocking than the first time I watched "Star Wars" last year. This movie will definitely take the world by storm..." "..."
With the release of "Star Wars 2". Both ordinary movie audiences and entertainment media have ushered in a carnival about science fiction movies, which is also mixed with some criticisms that are not interested in science fiction movies. However, this "Star Wars 2" is still popular during the summer release. Easily tearing apart all doubts and shocking the whole world!
Within three days of its release, the box office exceeded $20 million!
This is the dollar era when one dollar is almost equal to one gram of gold!
Yes, it only took a few hours for "Star Wars 2" to break the current record for the highest first-day box office in North America. In 18 hours, it broke the record for the highest single-day box office for a single film in the United States. In addition, it also broke the record for the highest first-day box office in Europe. , Asia and other places have broken records one after another!
Top science fiction blockbuster!
When almost everyone watched this movie, they felt more of a novelty. In all the cinemas, the audience was shouting. It seemed that the first time they saw this kind of movie was very shocking. Probably not. Who can remain calm in a movie theater?
The reason is that under Li Yi'an's deliberate guidance, Jeanne Moreau and the special effects props experts used the real-life special effects of this era to create a more impactful effect, although this effect is not as good as that of Li Yi'an. Those movies with more exaggerated special effects that I have ever seen.
But the level of special effects achieved in "Star Wars 2" is more shocking and impactful than Lucas's "Star Wars" thirteen years later, and whether it is "Star Wars" or "Star Wars" 2"'s grand scenes and movie special effects are unheard of by audiences in this world.
It can even be said that the vast majority of the audience were directly frightened to the point of peeing!
After all, they had not experienced such shocks in the past.
"I didn't expect it! I really didn't expect it..."
After leaving the cinema, George Lucas was still in extreme excitement:
"It turns out that science fiction movies can be so cool, and those aliens are so real..."

"The characters are said to be played by real people, wearing silicone masks."
Steve said from the side:
"George, all the novel characters we see are shot by actors using makeup, some are shot through modeling, and some of the universe scenes are simply technical synthesis, and these parts require a lot of time and money. ”
They are all film students at the University of Southern California, and they are all amazed by the "technological content" presented in this movie.
"They have left Hollywood far behind..."
George Lucas said excitedly:
"This type of science fiction movie is really great. I wonder when we will be able to make a movie of this type!"
"One day."
Steve said
"After all, everyone has seen that it is very profitable to make such movies,"
"Yes, the problem is technology..."
George Lucas curled his lips and said:
"Technically it's not good. Even if it's made by Hollywood, it's just a crappy follow-up. Just like last year, it's not even cheap enough"
Last year, due to the popularity of "Star Wars", there were also film companies in Hollywood investing in similar movies to follow the trend, but they all failed miserably at the box office. There was no other way. Audiences who were picky about "Star Wars" naturally did not buy those movies that followed the trend.
After all, the most important thing about this kind of science fiction movie is the special effects and visual bombardment!
"Yes."
Steven said:
"In the past, we always said that Hollywood in the United States is the best film factory in the world, but now it seems that this is nonsense. The best film factory in the world is in SEA, in Kuching!"
"I guess one day..."
George Lucas suddenly said:
"If Hollywood cannot produce similar or even better films, then the future film market will definitely belong to them."
"This is too exaggerated and simply unimaginable!"
"Unthinkable?"
George Lucas looked at his friend and said:
"I tell you this is the future. You see, we have watched this movie for the seventh time, and we are still queuing up here to watch it for the eighth time. These people are queuing up here, and they want to watch it for the eighth time. What? My friend?
Of course, go to the movies!
The question is, did people wait in line like this all night long to buy tickets to watch a movie in the past? And I watch this movie over and over again..."
It's something that has never happened before. As a film student, George Lucas was able to see into the future, and your future had changed dramatically.
"If we don't keep up, Hollywood will soon be obsolete..."
George Lucas looked into the distance, and he fell into silence. For some reason, Steve suddenly felt that what George Lucas said was right, not just because his tone was very certain, but more importantly The thing is, just like George Lucas said, they are all watching this movie over and over again...
