Chapter 112 Premiere
As the plot of the movie progresses, time flies by.
Lu Chuan was filled with disdain, huh, it was just a commercial film, with no artistry at all, and the director's technique was very simple...
But then he became a little worried, because of the people around him The general audience was just so into it.
Everyone looked intently, as if they were afraid of missing something.
Soon, the plot came to the scene where the heroine dealt with the wound.
The moment she took off her earrings and necklace to sew herself up, everyone in the theater seemed to hold their breath, and some timid viewers even covered their eyes.
The boys' eyes were shining~
The girls were scared and wanted to watch~
Lu Chuan was very happy that he had found another point to complain about, hum. I don’t know how such footage passed the review, so I had to report it no matter what.
He happily opened his little notebook and wrote the words 'too bloody' on it. On it, there were also labels such as 'mysterious', 'no artistic value', 'animal cruelty', and 'erotic'. .
After this shot passed, the audience's comments gradually began to rise in the screening hall that had been silent for a long time.
“This director is so awesome, he even thought of using earrings and necklaces to sew the wounds!”
The audience, especially the male audience, was collectively excited. There are very few such bloody scenes in domestic movies. .
The movie people in the front row are deeper than they think.
At least Feng Xiaogang saw through Zhang Chen's intention in arranging this scene at a glance.
Whether a character can stand up depends on many details.
The scene of suturing the wound is to highlight the cruelty and refusal to accept fate in the heroine's character.
This is a very common expression technique in movies.
The protagonists of movies are often ordinary people with mortal bodies. Many people will bring themselves into it when watching the movie.
If you encountered the same predicament as the protagonist, would you survive?
Most of the answers are no.
Why can the protagonist?
This requires a reason to convince the audience. If there is no such reason, the audience will think it is too fake. But if this reason is established, no matter how outrageous the protagonist does, the audience will think it is normal.
This is what suturing the wound does.
Its purpose is to tell the audience that although the heroine is set to be an ordinary person, her character is tenacious, she does not flinch, and she is even cruel to herself.
So if such a person can defeat the shark in the end, people will find it credible.
The same setting has actually appeared in many movies:
In "First Blood", Rambo used needles and thread to suture his wounds without anesthesia...
< br>In "The Bloody Heroes", Xiaozhuang poured gunpowder on the wound to burn and stop the bleeding...
The effect is the same, reflecting the ruthlessness of the protagonist.
They are all capable of attacking themselves, so why is it impossible for one person to attack a hundred of them?
What is impossible about being shot ten times and not dying?
The plot continued to advance, and Feng Xiaogang was increasingly shocked.
He watched the movie from a pull-out perspective.
The rhythm of "Shark Beach" is well designed, with a small climax coming one after another, which always firmly captures the audience's emotions.
Injured, climbed on the whale carcass to avoid, used jellyfish to avoid sharks, was stung by jellyfish, saw the ship, found the flare gun, lost the bullet, got the bullet, the ammunition failed to fire, the ship left...
Zhang Chen designed many plots to repeatedly pull the audience's emotions, giving hope at one moment and killing it at the next.
Then give another hope, and then kill the hope.
Including the last one which is quite amazing~
In previous shark movies, the final kill of the shark usually relied on technology.
Either gas tanks, bombs, or spearguns...
Originally, Feng Xiaogang thought that the final decision was the flare gun, but it wasn't.
Zhang Chen really did something unexpected. It is estimated that most people did not expect that the shark was actually impaled to death by the steel bars on the seabed.
Diffuse dust, turbid water, the picture is getting blurry.
“Holy shit, the shark was actually killed like this?”
“How on earth did the director’s head grow? It’s so imaginative.”
“I’ll go. , it’s such an ending, it’s amazing!”
“Sure enough, the brain is the primary productive force!”
It wasn't until the big lights in the screening room came on that everyone realized that the movie had finished playing.
One and a half hours passed so quickly.
"Pa bang bang~~"
After more than an hour of intense excitement, the audience did not hesitate to applaud. The audience gave their best comments to the person who could bring them joy. Real reaction!
Looking at the audience's reaction, Zhang Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, it should be considered a success.
Feng Xiaogang in the audience quietly chatted with Ge You next to him, "There is no story, but the rhythm of the movie is very good."
"Yeah, I think it's good too, it's quite exciting." Ge You He also agreed, and his evaluation was always simple.
“The computer special effects are also pretty good. The sharks don’t look funny at all. I think they are no worse than those in Hollywood...”
This is Director Chen’s evaluation. He I usually act in more artistic films, but I don't have any prejudice against commercial films.
Not only were they discussing in low voices, other filmmakers were also discussing in low voices. Of course there are plot, performance, camera, color, music...
Everyone's focus is different.
Overall, everyone didn’t think this movie was particularly outstanding in terms of special effects, but they just thought it was pretty good to watch.
Nonsense, the total cost of the whole film was only 10 million. How could it be a special effects blockbuster? Look at how much the special effects blockbusters of the same period cost, such as "The Promise", they were all in hundreds of millions.
However, the rhythm of the movie is indeed well controlled. There is no time to go to the toilet during the whole movie.
And the style is completely different from the previous game "Dark Invasion". It doesn't have that kind of depression, but it's still the same horror.
This change was unexpected by some viewers and was considered a small surprise.
Most of the audience are ordinary people, and they don’t see many tricks like Feng Xiaogang, but they just think it’s pretty good-looking.
Zhang Chen also did not invite any film critics. He knew that this was a popcorn movie without any depth and would definitely not be popular, so he did not make it difficult for himself.
The applause of 'wow-wow-wow' continued. After Zhang Chen thanked the audience in the audience, he was called to the stage by the host. The two main creators stood on the stage ready to accept comments from domestic professionals and media. Ask questions.
The host looked at the two lonely people on the stage and said first: "Are you two the only ones on the creative team?"
Zhang Chen scratched his head: "It is indeed a bit embarrassing, but except for the two of us, everyone else is behind the scenes. I asked them, but they were unwilling to come up."
The small problem successfully alleviated the embarrassment.
"Okay, then let's listen to the creators' thoughts on this movie. First, let's ask director Zhang Chen, how did you come up with this story?" The host Jing Wei handed over the topic.
“Haha, this is actually an attempt of mine. After "Dark Invasion", I was thinking about what to shoot next. The most reliable one is of course the sequel to "Dark Invasion". The script was all written at that time.
Then I met Teacher Fan Binbin by chance. Teacher Fan wanted to collaborate once, and I wanted to do it too.
However, the plot of "Dark Invasion 2" is a continuation of the previous one and has already taken shape. It is not easy to change, so we can only start from scratch.
At that time, Jaws was released, and I thought, there seems to be no similar monster movie in China, so why don’t I make one? "
"And then there was this "Shark Beach" that you collaborated on?"
"Yes. ”
