In the Chinese Theater, host Chris Tucker invited the creators of "The Matrix Reloaded" to the stage for an interview.
Chris Tucker is Chen Long's partner in "Rush Hour". He has good comedy talent.
As soon as Yang Ye saw this guy, he wondered whether he should take out "Rush Hour" after "Men in Black" was released.
Yang Ye sat on the stage and introduced the two highlight scenes of "The Matrix 2" to the audience.
The first scene was when Yang Ye singled out a hundred Zhou Billy. In order to shoot this scene, Yang Ye created a "virtual shooting" method.
Yang Ye found eleven stand-ins for Zhou Billy, and then spent several months asking the stand-ins to imitate every word and action of Zhou Billy, including his expressions and movement habits.
When Yang Ye is satisfied with the stuntmen's imitation of Zhou Billy, they can start rehearsing the action scenes.
Use "motion capture" technology to input all the action scenes of Yang Ye and One Hundred Zhou Billy into the computer.
"Motion capture" can make action design more convenient, design many actions that are difficult for ordinary people to do, and use computer modification to make martial arts actions look more powerful and stretched.
The second scene is a fourteen-minute long car chase in the movie, the most complex highway car chase in film history.
Since all scenes must be shot in real time, a slight mistake may lead to tragic casualties of stunt personnel, so Yang Ye decided to use the "visual preview" system for arrangement.
First simulate an actual scene on the computer, and then study the camera position and angle to find the best shooting method. Finally, use animation to practice and make corresponding adjustments.
After doing this, people will find that the camera often seems to be placed in positions that have never been seen in previous car chase scenes, and the visual effect is very shocking.
Yang Ye also said that in order to shoot this scene, he had been preparing and practicing three years before the filming of "The Matrix" started, and he also conducted experiments in the movie "Kung Fu".
Yang Ye's introduction made the audience look forward to the movie with great anticipation.
Later, the host conducted interviews with other creators of the film.
Black Pearl Halle Berry, who also stars in The Matrix 2, also attended tonight's premiere.
She talked a lot about the filming at the scene, and also talked about her experience in China, and praised Shenzhen, saying it is a young city of miracles.
What makes the audience curious the most is about Kung Fu and Qing Kung.
With the promotion of action stars such as Yang Ye, the fact that Chinese people know kung fu has almost become a stereotype.
The even cooler "Qinggong" has become a fashionable sport that young people are passionate about and is sought after all over the world.
It is a certainty that "martial arts" will become a performance event in the 2000 Olympic Games.
Yang Ye is sending a team to the Olympics for public relations, hoping that "Qinggong" can become a performance event in the 2000 Olympics.
At tonight's premiere, some props were prepared.
Yang Ye asked Li Lienjie to show off a wave of "Qing Kung Fu", which made the audience in the theater call him "I bought it."
Chris Tucker asked Tom Cruise who came to the scene today: "I heard that you once learned Kung Fu from Mr. Nick Young, so do you also know how to do Qing Kung Fu?"
Tom Cruise once took a month every year for five or six years to practice martial arts in Hong Kong, and he really knew how to do it.
And this skill is very useful for filming movies. He has been training for these years and has never fallen behind.
So he also went on stage to show off. Although he was not as nimble and agile as Li Lianjie, he looked very awesome.
After watching it, Chris Tucker actually clasped his hands in front of Yang Ye, crying and wanting to become his disciple.
This time the atmosphere became tense and everyone burst into laughter.
After the interaction, the group walked off the stage and returned to their seats. "The Matrix 2: Reloaded" was officially screened.
……
In the first part, Yang Ye awakened and understood the nature of the matrix.
Everything in the Matrix is code. When he was killed by Billy Zhou in the Matrix, it was just him who thought he was dead.
In reality, he did not die, so he immediately resurrected where he was.
At this time, he already had the authority to rewrite the program and easily killed Zhou Billy in an instant.
At the end of the movie, he also learns to fly.
The plot comes to the second part. Six months after awakening in the matrix, Yang Ye, Lin Qingxia and others are living together in Yingzhou, the last human city in the real world.
They continue to enter the matrix and liberate more humans, and Yang Ye is worshiped as a god by some people in Yingzhou.
When Yang Ye was sleeping, he always dreamed of Lin Qingxia being chased by agents and falling from a tall building, which made him uneasy.
The two also staged a sex scene in the movie, but there was no exposure.
Lin Qingxia is the actress who has played the most roles with Yang Ye. In "Terminator 1", "Terminator 2", and "The Swordsman: The Invincible", they are both male and female protagonists, and they have a perfect understanding of each other.
At this time, humans received news that the Machine Empire sent 250,000 sentries to attack Yingzhou, and humans decided to gather all their forces to resist.
In order to end the war, Yang Ye went to the matrix to meet the prophet.
The prophet is a program in the matrix that can predict the future. She tells humans that there will be a savior to save them.
Human beings believed the words of the prophet and tried their best to find Yang Ye. Yang Ye awakened the power in the first part, making human beings believe that he is the savior.
After forcing each other for a long time, they started fighting.
Yang Ye met the prophet's bodyguard Li Lianjie, and the two immediately started a wonderful fight.
Yang Ye and Li Lianjie are the two people with the best martial arts moves in the world. Their fight was carefully choreographed.
In this fight in the original version, the gap between the martial arts levels of Keanu and Zou Zhaolong was too big. Zou Zhaolong had ten years of martial arts skills, while Keanu was a rookie who had just started practicing martial arts.
In order to get the two players to play at the same level, Yuan Heping tried his best, but the final result was only so-so.
Now if it is Yang Ye and Li Lianjie who fight, it will be completely different.
The two people's various wonderful tricks and movements are endless, which is pleasing to the eye and unforgettable.
After a battle, no matter the outcome, Li Lianjie recognized Yang Ye as the savior and took him to see the prophet.
The prophet claimed that Yang Ye already had the ability to predict and asked him to find a program called the Unlocker.
By opening the lock one can gain access to the source, the source code of the Machine Empire, the savior can enter the source and the war will end.
After the prophet finished speaking, he slipped away. At this time, Zhou Billy, who was instantly killed by Yang Ye in the first part, chased after him.
At the end of the first part, he was clearly blown to pieces by Yang Ye, so how did he come back to life?
It turns out that in the first part, Zhou Billy killed Yang Ye first, so Yang Ye should have been deleted by the matrix first.
As a result, Yang Ye came back to life and killed Zhou Billy.
This is equivalent to saying that Zhou Billy was killed by Yang Ye, a person who had already been killed by him.
This forms a BUG!
The matrix, where everything operates strictly according to equations, cannot handle this kind of bug.
This resulted in Zhou Bili becoming a program that could not be judged by the system.
Zhou Bili not only refused to be deleted by the system, but also turned from the original anti-virus software into a virus.
He can make unlimited copies of himself by constantly infecting other programs and turning them into himself.
This theory is commonplace and nothing new for later audiences.
But in 1995, it was very novel, very avant-garde, and very interesting.
It was only in 1984 that a paper appeared calling a self-replicating program a virus, and in 1987 the first anti-virus software McAfee appeared. Yang Ye created a virtual world in "The Matrix" and personified anti-virus software and viruses, which can be said to be very creative.
What follows is a battle between Yang Ye and one hundred. No matter how well the reasoning is explained and no matter how exciting the story is, it is not as enjoyable as a hearty action scene.
In the first part, Zhou Bili has a sharp face and sunglasses, looking like a robot model.
His unparalleled physical fitness, strength, speed and invincibility tortured Yang Ye to death, leaving a deep impression on countless audiences.
If Yang Ye hadn't cheated at the end, there wouldn't have been a second part.
In the second part, Yang Ye actually wanted to fight a hundred Zhou Billy. How to fight this? The audience is looking forward to this.
Before the movie started screening, Yang Ye focused on this scene, saying that he used motion capture and virtual shooting technology.
The so-called motion capture had been used as early as the filming of "Terminator 2", but it was very crude at that time.
Now upgraded again, each protagonist and stand-in wears specially-made clothes, and the camera array will record every detail of the character's movements through these sensors.
Once the main action of a scene has been completely captured, the director is given unlimited freedom.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
The camera can be "placed" wherever he wants, and the freedom of editing is also greatly increased.
For example, in this battle, a camera rotates around Yang Ye. Depending on the speed or slowness of the character's movements, the camera will "seamlessly" decelerate or accelerate, creating a dazzling visual effect.
This is a miracle that cannot be produced using traditional shooting methods, which makes the action scenes of the movie have been upgraded to an unprecedented level, and the audience at the scene is full of all kinds of people.
If this was shown in a Chinese cinema, it would definitely be a hit.
The most interesting thing is that many scenes in the movie are familiar to Yang Ye's previous movies.
For example, Billy Zhou becomes a virus and can copy himself instantly. The transformation process is quite similar to the transformation process of the "liquid metal" robot in "Terminator 2".
It's just that the asphalt-like transformation process of replicating itself is more industrial and cooler.
This is naturally due to technological progress.
This fight with one against a hundred is quite similar to Yang Ye's battle with the Ax Gang in "Kung Fu", and some of the camera positions are even the same.
Yang Ye said before the movie was screened that he had experimented with this shooting method in "Kung Fu", but now it is even cooler.
Therefore, after this scene, it gives the audience a consistent experience, and it feels like Yang Ye has been making progress.
After a fight, Yang Ye shook the ground with his feet, and with a "swish" sound, he flew into the sky and slipped away.
Two years later, in another movie directed by Yang Ye, this exciting flying action appeared in a more cool form, once again giving the audience the feeling that Yang Ye is continuing to make progress.
……
Yang Ye got rid of Zhou Billy and went to find the lockpicker with Ti Long and Lin Qingxia, triggering another war.
This was an even more awesome highway battle than the previous one against a hundred.
This battle introduces a new villain, the Gemini Virus.
The abilities of these two people are very strong and very cool
They can transform between corporeal and incorporeal bodies.
As long as they disappear, they will become ethereal things.
After becoming virtual, they can leave only half of their bodies floating on the ground.
It can also pass through all obstacles, such as doors, cars, windows, glass, walls, etc., nothing can stop them.
And every time they are attacked or injured, they will immediately disappear from the physical body.
In this case, all damage is transferred or ineffective, which means that the virtual body is immune to all damage.
Obito's ability in "Naruto" is probably inspired by this.
However, the source of inspiration for Gemini should be a multi-threaded virus that was popular at the time.
This virus replicates itself into two or more processes when running.
When it is discovered by someone or by anti-virus software, if you shut down one of its processes, it will immediately copy itself into another process, and the same will be true for deletion.
If you want to kill it, you must delete it at the same time, but even if you delete data in batches, you will delete the data one by one, and you will also shut down the process one by one.
So this virus is very intractable.
The twin stars in the movie are the same as this multi-threaded virus. Unless they are killed at the same time, they are immortal.
The final solution was for Dillon to blow up the car with one shot and send them to heaven.
As for why he died so hastily?
Because special effects are too expensive.
Every second they appear, money is burning.
……
The two action scenes maximize the viewing effect of the movie, and there is basically no need to worry about the box office.
The movie returned to the plot part again. Yang Ye entered the source, came to the core of the matrix structure, and met the matrix designer.
The dialogue between the two allows the audience to understand the truth about the world in the movie.
The designer told Yang Ye: No matter how exquisite the design is, there will always be some "remainders" that will accumulate more and more as time goes by, eventually affecting the stability of the system and even leading to the destruction of the matrix.
To put it simply, the designers found that no matter how the matrix was built, a very small number of people in the matrix would realize that the matrix was a virtual world.
These people have rebellious genes and a strong desire for freedom. When they discover the truth, they will find ways to resist.
If the resistance becomes more intense, it will eventually become unstoppable and lead to the destruction of the Matrix.
In order to avoid this situation from happening, the designer thought of a way.
Yingzhou was built in the real world, and those who did not want to live in the matrix were expelled from the matrix and allowed to live in Yingzhou.
And gave them the illusion that Yingzhou is a base for humans to resist machines.
And once Yingzhou grows enough to threaten the machine empire, they will wipe out everyone in Yingzhou.
So, how can these humans gather together peacefully instead of gathering strength to launch an attack on the machine empire?
Another advanced program of the Matrix came up with a way: to use the characteristics of human superstition to package itself as a prophet who can predict the future.
Since she, like the designer, has the highest authority, she can easily "predict" the future, and can even use her authority to "manufacture" the future.
In this way, humans will slowly come to believe in the prophets.
And when humans believe her, she will tell humans:
If you want to save all mankind, you must rely on the power of the "Savior".
If you find the savior, you can liberate all mankind.
But in fact, the so-called "savior" is just to give hope to humans who have escaped from the matrix.
Let them not resist excessively, but place their hope in the salvation of the Savior.
Well, this is actually the reason for the formation of religion, and it is the core theory behind the popularity of various religions in the world.
This is also the main reason why rulers around the world have promoted various religions throughout the ages.
In Chinese history, the common people look forward to a wise king and a clear master. They are essentially the same.
Still better in "The Internationale":
There has never been a savior, nor a fairy emperor.
To create human happiness, it all depends on ourselves! (End of chapter)
