Chapter 135 Alien Movie Party
“Hey, Nick, my brother!”
Shay laughed, opened his arms, and gave Yang Ye a bear hug!
“Who is this beautiful lady?”
“She is my girlfriend, Yamaguchi Momoe!”
Xie Yi originally wanted to joke about how beautiful you are, but Yang Ye directly admitted that Yamaguchi Momoe was his girlfriend and immediately blocked Xie Yi's mouth. Xie Yi was not stupid.
Momohui Yamaguchi was also very happy to hear what Yang Ye said.
"Hello, Ms. Momoe, are you Japanese?"
"Hi, Mr. Shay, yes."
"Momitoe is the most beautiful woman in Japan. Famous singer, haven’t you heard of it?”
"Oh, then I am really ignorant."
Yang Ye said: "Is everyone here?"
Xie Yi said: "I'm waiting for you!"
"Then Let's go!"
Yang Ye took Baihui's hand and walked inside, and Baihui asked: "Shall we go see that movie now?"
Yang Ye nodded and said: "That's right!"
Xie Yi croaked next to him: "Hey, let me tell you, this is definitely a great movie. But Miss Baihui, I have to Remind you, you have to be mentally prepared before watching!"
Momoe Yamaguchi said timidly: "Is it scary?"
"It's absolutely terrifying. The scariest movie."
Yang Ye squeezed her palm gently and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Taking a woman to watch horror movies is a bad idea for many men. When she screams and crawls into your arms, it is more satisfying than stripping her naked and doing things with her.
Momitoe Yamaguchi was grasped by Yang Ye's powerful palm, and she instantly felt a sense of security. The man next to her was the most capable man in the world!
The three of them walked into the small screening room of New Line Cinema, where the film's creators were already waiting.
Xie Yi said: "This is my partner, Academy Award-winning director, and the most powerful man in the world, Mr. Yang Ye. This is his girlfriend, Miss Yamaguchi Momoe, a popular Japanese star. "
Yang Ye greeted with a smile: "Hello everyone!"
Without Shay's introduction, he said to a middle-aged man with a beard: "Director Ridley Scott, this is the second time we have met!"
The first of the two The first time they met was at the Cannes Film Festival last year, when Ridley Scott had just won the Best Debut Film Award at the Cannes Film Festival, and the two had a long conversation about the filming of "Alien".
This later famous director was a late bloomer. He directed his first feature film "The Duelist" at the age of 40.
But from then on, he seemed to be cheating, "Alien", "Blade Runner", "Thelma and Louise", "Gladiator", "Hannibal", "Black Hawk Down" , "Kingdom of Heaven"... masterpieces continue to be produced, and the box office and reputation are both soaring.
Except Blade Runner!
Yang Ye's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" grossed nearly US$70 million in North America, and the global box office exceeded US$130 million.
So far, the three films directed by Yang Ye have grossed more than 300 million in global box office. As a non-Hollywood director, this achievement is unique in the world.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is the world's top director. Not to mention that he can still act. Hollywood can only marvel at the action movies he made!
Hollywood only respects strength, so all the main creators of "Alien" admire Yang Ye very much.
After Yang Ye shook hands and got to know the film creators, Xie said: "Then let's get started!"
After everyone was seated, the lights went out and a beam of light hit the white screen. This small preview meeting officially began.
In the dark and cold universe, the outline of a spaceship appeared.
Then a set of subtitles appeared:
The space cargo ship Nostalgia.
Crew: seven.
Cargo: 20 million tons.
Wayway: Return to Earth.
Then there are various details of the spacecraft. In this era, such detailed descriptions will not make people feel boring, especially the large transistor low-resolution computer display installed in the spacecraft, which has a science fiction feel. Full.
Momoe Yamaguchi couldn't help but whispered: "How was this filmed?"
Yang Ye explained: "Place a camera equipped with a wide-angle lens on the driving device. Shooting slowly past or around the model at an ultra-low speed of 2.5 frames per second can create the dynamic effect of the spacecraft. ”
Momoe Yamaguchi said "oh" and continued to read. In the first six minutes of the movie, not a single character appeared, and there was not a single line. The director focused on rendering an atmosphere of extreme loneliness, helplessness, and depression from the beginning of the movie.
The camera moves slowly in the vast space, and the Nostalromo spacecraft, loaded with 20 million tons of ore, sails alone on its way back to Earth.
The picture takes the audience coldly to inspect the long and empty cabin. The inner wall of the metal-structured spacecraft reveals a cold light under the dim light. Occasionally, the wind blows the paper and makes a "plop" sound, or suddenly There were a few beeps of the computer starting up and running, and the tiny movements were amplified into a heartbeat in the deathly silent environment.
Subsequently, in a hibernation device, the seven crew members woke up one after another. They began to have breakfast together, complaining about the food being unpalatable.
But because we will be able to return to Earth soon, everyone is in a good mood. Then they discovered...this was not the earth, and they were only halfway through their journey.
Because the computer received a signal from an unknown source, it changed its itinerary. According to regulations, if humans find a signal in space, they must go to investigate.
Because...it is possible to discover intelligent creatures, that is, aliens.
On that planet, the crew encountered a crashed spacecraft. The astronauts in the spacecraft were all dead and turned into fossils.
Although Yang Ye had seen it in his previous life, when he saw the setting of the interstellar ruins in the movie, he still couldn't help but admire: It's really cool!
Literally, look at the picture!
The crew continued to explore, and a large number of alien eggs appeared on the screen. One of them suddenly broke out of the shell, with a shrill scream, and was attached to the face of Kane's crew.
Momoe Yamaguchi was startled, Yang Ye quickly patted her hand and whispered: "Don't be afraid!"
Xin said, this is all a small scene.
The larvae of the "alien" did not immediately kill people, but wrapped tightly around their faces, showing their power as people moved, like a beast slowly waking up, showing its power bit by bit. And the limitless power also swallowed up the fragile nerves of other crew members bit by bit.
Under this tremendous pressure, every crew member began to reveal their human weaknesses, such as selfishness, cowardice, and suspicion.
When they flew away from the unknown planet and the "alien" larvae separated from Kane's face, the tense atmosphere seemed to relax slightly, but everyone could feel that there was still an unknown... Something more terrifying is lurking in the dark, waiting for the opportunity to break out of the cocoon.
The way this plot is set up perfectly demonstrates Hitchcock's suspense technique.
Next, is the most famous scene in film history where the alien larvae burst out of the chest.
In the pure white environment, a large amount of blood was sprayed out without warning, and a ferocious-looking alien larva emerged.
This scene is so horrifying that even people decades from now will be shocked when they see it for the first time, let alone now.
Sure enough, Momoe Yamaguchi was so frightened that she screamed and got into Yang Ye's arms. Yang Ye quickly patted her back gently to show comfort.
In fact, let alone her, when filming this scene, although the crew knew in advance that the little alien would rush out of the chest, they were not mentally prepared for the splashing plasma, coupled with the bloody scene on the scene It was very scary, so many people were stunned by the sudden scene.
Especially the actress who played the role of crew member Lambert. Plasma sprayed directly on her body. She was so frightened that she immediately fell to the ground and became hysterical.
The actors' real horror undoubtedly added to the film's beauty. This scene became the most unforgettable moment in the film and was rated as a classic in film history in later generations.
In the subsequent plot, the crew members died one by one in despair, and the aliens did not appear for more than half a second each time, which continued the characteristics of "Jaws".
The real fear comes from the heart, from the helplessness in a lonely situation, from the powerlessness in the face of unknown powerful forces, from the coldness and despair in the face of cannibalism.
As the plot unfolds, a conspiracy is slowly revealed. The ugliest and most terrifying image in the movie is not the alien, but the crew member Ash, who is a representative of the military.
The military set a trap from the beginning, using several crew members as bait. The real purpose of this voyage was actually to go to an unknown planet to find powerful biological and chemical weapons.
Ashe played a role in fueling the situation. At several critical moments, he decided to bring the "alien" to the spacecraft and be observed and protected.
After seeing this, the audience realized that human greed and desire are the most terrifying monsters.
Perhaps with wisdom and courage, we can defeat that kind of alien creature, but we are unable to guard against human greed.
At the end of the movie, the alien was killed, and Yamaguchi Momoe finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She was already frightened beyond belief. Director Ridley Scott had portrayed the cold horror of outer space where life is extinct to the extreme, so much so that during the process of watching, she stopped and lay down several times. Panting in Yang Ye's arms.
The lights came on, and Yang Ye pretended to be angry: "Director, you scared my Baihui like this."
Momoe Yamaguchi said embarrassedly: "I don't have a director. Your movie is really a masterpiece. I really hope to see it in Japan."
Yang Ye translated it for Momoe Yamaguchi, Then he smiled at Yamaguchi Momoe and said, "You still dare to look?"
Yamaguchi Momoe pursed her lips and said, "Of course I dare!"
Yes, I'm afraid of returning. You still have to watch it.
Ridley Scott said with a smile: "It is an honor for me that Ms. Momoe likes this movie. I also hope that the movie can be released in Japan as soon as possible."
Yang Ye acted as a translator again, and then said to Shay: "I think Ridley Scott has contributed a masterpiece to us. This movie should not be released as conservatively as before."
Shay said: "You mean a bomb release like "Jaws"?"
"That's right! This is our company's entrepreneurial work, and it must be impressive. I want it to be released simultaneously all over the world!" "
"But now is the unpopular season. I originally planned to release this movie in the summer season."
Yang Ye shook his head: "There are too many blockbusters in the summer season, and we are working on a small budget. Horror movies don’t get many movies. Although the spring movie is the coldest time of the year, there are not many good movies released at this time. Doesn’t this show that we are out?”
Shea's New Line Cinema is still very weak. It has no problem distributing it in North America and some European countries. But if it wants to distribute it globally, it will have to rely on Yang Ye or turn to the eight major Hollywood companies.
Based on the consecutive hits of three films, Yang Ye has established preliminary distribution channels. There are agents of Baiyang Films all over the world.
Shay said: "Okay, brother, let's do it! Start the publicity and release plan now, strive for... a scale of 800 halls, and release it across the United States in mid-March!"
