"No, the whole picture won't be this kind of accuracy after that, right?"

"How much do you have to burn for this set props and special effects?"

Lu Xiaoping was very confused, because the performance of "Mission and Choice" in details has far exceeded his expectations!

Although Lu Xiaoping also heard some rumors before, saying that Tengda had invested heavily in the new movie this time, he just listened to it casually and didn't take it seriously.

Because bragging is the norm in the industry.

It's like marching and fighting in ancient times, 100,000 people can be blown into 500,000, anyway, if you blow the numbers out first, you can deceive a few and deceive a few.

For a movie, it costs a lot of money to buy IP and hire big-name actors, and then add publicity and marketing funds, saying that hundreds of millions of dollars have been invested, but in fact, there is not much money really used for film production.

Lu Xiaoping originally thought that "Mission and Choice" was a domestic science fiction movie, and the ceiling of domestic science fiction movies has always been there, not very high at all.

But now, Lu Xiaoping is confused.

Is this really a domestic movie?

This detail is no different from those Hollywood blockbusters that have spent a lot of money!

Could it be that "Mission and Choice" really saved all the IP money and the salaries of big-name actors, and also saved the publicity funds, and really threw all the money into the production of the movie?

Thinking of this possibility, Lu Xiaoping had only one thought: crazy!

It's not just an adventure, it's suicide!

If other crews do this, it is almost tantamount to killing themselves. Of course, it is impossible for the crew to do this, because it is absolutely impossible for the management to agree.

But Tengda is different.

Obviously, Feihuang Studio is not committing suicide, they dare to do this because they have a strong self-confidence in the movie "Mission and Choice", believing that even if there is no regular publicity, it can still beat all games in the same schedule and fight their way out!

Lu Xiaoping realized that there was a big problem with his judgment!

Before, he thought that "Mission and Choice" was promoted because he was not confident and wanted to avoid the Golden Week schedule, but now he found out, how is this possible?

The quality of this film, I am afraid that it will also be a big killing existence when it gets Golden Week, how can I be afraid of "Battleship of the Angry Sea"?

Things are not good......

Lu Xiaoping continued to look down with great apprehension.

……

The next plot can be said to be full of twists and turns, climaxes, and there are no urine spots throughout the whole process, full of all kinds of reversals, which is dizzying.

The story line of the whole movie revolves around the character of Qin Yi, and the emotions of the audience are all affected by the character of Qin Yi.

Although it is a one-man show, Lu Zhiyao completely supported the role through his acting skills, and successfully completed the task of mobilizing the audience's emotions.

The whole story can be broadly divided into the following stages:

In the first stage, Qin Yi became a commander, learned about the previous battle and defeat between humans and the Zerg through a simulated battle, understood the necessity of communication between the commander and Ansebo, accepted the position of commander, and trained seriously.

In the second stage, after completely familiarizing himself with the operation of the console, Qin Yi began to conduct simulation training, and everything was going well, but the situation suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse with the addition of "realistic elements", and the human army was defeated. In order to improve the winning rate, Qin Yi slowly began to get used to accepting AEEIS's data and suggestions, and gradually turned into an emotionless command machine.

In the third stage, Qin Yi saw the scene of the AS-371-45 team he was originally on a mission, and finally made the same decision as the previous commander. In the midst of contradictions and struggles, Qin Yi finally understood the actions of his former commander and made many painful choices for the sake of victory.

In the fourth stage, everyone thought that Qin Yi was ready, but in exchange for a more ferocious slap in the face in reality. In the final battle, even if the command was fully in accordance with AEEIS's advice, humanity was still defeated.

Qin Yi almost fell into a state of collapse, he no longer believed that humans could win this war, no matter whether they deceived or not, no matter what kind of command method they used, they could not win the war.

In the fifth stage, Qin Yi realized that it was wrong to measure everyone's value with cold data, and the original command method did improve the combat efficiency to a certain extent, but it was absolutely impossible to succeed in using the tactics of the Zerg to fight the Zerg and turn all the soldiers into cold machines. Therefore, Qin Yi chose to tell all the soldiers the truth, and rekindled everyone's faith with a speech in a desperate situation, and the war took a turn for the better again.

In the sixth stage, the high-intensity thinking overwhelmed Qin Yi's body, and in the coma, he felt the consciousness of the hive, and the Empress of the Zerg showed him the truth of the past, it turned out that the war between humans and the Zerg was provoked by humans, and the behavior of the Empress of the Zerg in the Hive was trying to communicate with Qin Yi, but it was only now that it succeeded.

Qin Yi made a conciliatory move on the surface, but in fact, he deceived the Zerg Empress and executed the beheading operation, directly laying down the victory.

In the seventh stage, Qin Yi, who thought that the war was over and wanted to evacuate, was betrayed, and the command ship he was riding rushed into the swarm to commit suicide, but he didn't expect that after all the sub-queens were beheaded, he with the consciousness of the insect hive became the new brain of the swarm.

At the end of the film, there are actually two suspenseful moments.

The first suspense is, is it the Executive Committee or AEEIS who decided to betray Qin Yi?

AEEIS's words to Qin Yi pushed all the pots to the Supreme Executive Committee, creating a feeling of "cunning rabbits dying, lackeys cooking". However, in the meeting screen of the Supreme Executive Committee, AEEIS said that Qin Yi took the initiative to seek death, and the members showed great remorse.

There are obviously two possibilities for this: one is that AEEIS deceived both Qin Yi and the Supreme Executive Committee, and effortlessly killed a human military genius, clearing the way for himself to take over the entire human army in the future; The other is that a part of the Supreme Executive Council instructed AEEIS and acted in a pretended manner.

And these two possibilities are hinting at two different sequels of "Crisis of the Machine" or "Civil War" in the future, respectively.

The second suspense is that Qin Yi, who was in the body of the Leviathan giant beast, inherited the hive consciousness, and his body was also transformed by the Zerg and turned into a special life form. He was a military man with a natural loyalty to humanity, but suffered the most shameful betrayal.

Will Qin Yi choose to lead the swarm to revenge? Or will it take a different path? Can he still be called a human? How will he perceive himself?

Obviously, these will not be revealed until later.

……

The big scene of the interstellar war made all the audience dizzy, and some people were even immersed in this shocking emotion, and even forgot to exclaim.

From the rout of humanity when it encountered the swarm at the beginning, to the small-scale realistic training, and finally to the large-scale battle in the vast starry sky and the surface of the planet......

All the war scenes in the movie are gradual and escalating, and the audience follows Captain Qin Yi from weak to strong, witnessing the protracted grand war between humans and the Zerg in the universe step by step.

What shocked Lu Xiaoping was that although the special effects of this movie are very cool, it is obviously not only special effects.

In terms of storytelling and emotional mobilization of the audience, this movie also does a very good job!

Although on the whole, the war scenes of the film are constantly escalating, the emotional tone of each stage is constantly ebbing and falling, like a wavy line, with peaks and valleys, showing a state of spiraling in fluctuations, which is completely unpredictable.

Other films often show these things through the conflict between the characters, for example, when a member of a team with different personalities proposes different solutions when they are in trouble, and the audience in front of the screen becomes irritated by the heated arguments, and the audience feels released when everyone agrees and overcomes the difficulties at the end.

This is a commonly used routine in many literary and artistic works, although it is old-fashioned, it is easy to use and has no risks.

But in "Mission and Choice", Lu Zhiyao completely supported the emotional tone of the movie through his own performance and playing with the cold artificial intelligence electronic sound AEEIS!

This feeling reminds Lu Xiaoping of a one-man show movie two years ago, which tells the story of the protagonist being buried alive in a coffin in the desert, constantly exploring and using various props around him to survive, and finally thought that the dawn had come, but what he was waiting for was only despair.

In that movie, the whole process was also a one-man show of the protagonist, but it brought continuous suspense to the audience, unique perspectives, superb shots, and twists and turns of the plot, so that the film successfully won a box office miracle that year, and harvested a box office of 20 million dollars at a cost of 3 million US dollars, which was a great success.

And "Mission and Choice" is similar to this movie to some extent.

The protagonists of both films are trapped in a small space, and they are all fighting against an unknown fate, and although they fail again and again, they are still indomitable.

They all withstood the test of acting skills in a one-man show, and they alone supported the emotional context of the whole movie, and let the audience perfectly substitute into the movie.

The difficulty of this kind of performance is very high, like a big gamble, bet all your chips on the same game, and once you succeed, you will make a lot of money, but if you fail, it will mean losing everything.

The difference between the two is that the emotional tone is different.

The protagonist is buried alive in a coffin, extremely narrow, and the despair he endures comes from both mental and physical devastation. The audience, like the protagonist, has a severely limited perspective, and is in a state of crampedness, depression, and despair throughout the whole process.

Although Qin Yi was in the space capsule, he could see the real situation around him through the bulkhead of the hologram, and his vision was not restricted at all. The despair he endured was more of a kind of mental devastation, the pain of human fate alone.

Both performances are a serious test of acting skills, but the performance on the road away seems to be a little tougher.

Because most of the despair that Qin Yi endured came from the spirit, the entire set and environment could not play too much of a role in his emotions, and at this time, if you want to mobilize the emotions of the players, you must completely hope for a performance far away.

Fortunately, Lu Yao completed the task well and dedicated his most perfect acting skills since his debut.

even made Lu Xiaoping feel that what he saw was not the distance of the road, but another person, or...... It's Captain Qin Yi himself!

Since acting in "Beautiful Tomorrow", Lu Zhiyao's acting skills have improved by leaps and bounds.

There were many people who sprayed Lu Lu away as "box office poison" and "acting too hard", but from "Beautiful Tomorrow" to "Mission and Choice", Lu Zhiyao's acting skills seem to be constantly improving, from outward to introverted, those exaggerated expressions are all gone, replaced by more delicate psychology and well-designed micro-expressions, and the whole person seems to be completely integrated into the role!

In the last scene of the film, Qin Yi woke up in the hatching pool in the Leviathan giant beast, his eyes suddenly opened, and the camera gave a close-up.

There seemed to be too many complicated emotions in his eyes.

In fact, at the beginning of the film, it was also such a close-up, except that Qin Yi at that time woke up from the hibernation pod, and at the end he woke up in the hatching pool in the body of the Leviathan behemoth.

The two eyes seem to have something in common, but the background, the appearance of the protagonist, the subtle expressions, and especially the eyes are very different.

The dormant pod and hatching pool are like wombs, and this shot obviously symbolizes Qin Yi's new life.

It's just that in these two lives, Qin Yi played the role of the human commander and the heart of the swarm respectively.

Just like at the beginning of the film, this expression at the end lasts for a few seconds before cutting to the next shot.

His thoughts spread rapidly through the universe, and all the larvae in the incubation pool surrounded him, becoming an extension of his consciousness.

Then, the camera quickly zoomed up to the cosmic starry sky outside the Leviathan giant beast's body, and the terrifying zerg wandering in the universe suddenly opened its eyes and sped up to move towards the endless starry sky!

A large number of Zerg followed behind the Leviathan behemoth, like a comet with a long tail, and disappeared into the depths of the screen.

This is the end of the movie, and the list of credits appears on the big screen.

The ending song sounds, which is an impassioned war song that describes the scene of a soldier about to go to battle and set foot on the battlefield.

Originally, this song should be very exciting, but the scene it accompanies is the picture of human soldiers cleaning up the mess and Leviathan giant beasts carrying Qin Yi and finally disappearing into the universe, which makes this song inexplicably full of an inexplicable sadness.

With a "pop", the lights of the cinema came on.

Many viewers just woke up from a dream, and the exclamations of "" and "awesome" were endless!

"Damn, that's awesome!"

"I really didn't expect this ending!"

"It's still too much, this ticket is worth it!"

At the end of the premiere of "A Better Tomorrow" before, most of the audience's feelings were unclear.

Because the performance of "Beautiful Tomorrow" on many key issues is quite obscure, as a feature film, there are not so many impressive big scenes, and after watching it, you will feel a little blocked in your heart, and you have to savor it while reading the film reviews to read the deep meaning.

But "Mission and Choice" is an out-and-out popcorn film, the whole process is full of big scenes of various space wars, and the emotions are like a roller coaster tumbling up and down, with troughs and peaks, giving people an extremely exciting emotional experience.

Therefore, after watching "Mission and Choice", the feelings of the vast majority of the audience can only be summed up in two words, that is, "awesome"!

This kind of impact from the senses is more direct and intense, especially the eyes of Qin Yi in the last scene with the ending song, which makes the audience's emotions finally released, which is refreshing to the peak and evocative at the same time.

The audience got up one after another and couldn't wait to share their viewing feelings with their companions.

"Awesome! Can the special effects of domestic science fiction movies be able to do this to this extent? It's really comparable to Hollywood blockbusters! I was dazzled by the whole process, and there was no drama at all! ”

"Sure enough, Tengda's film is awesome! Never disappoint! ”

"It's not too much to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in publicity in this film, right? It's a pity that the publicity is a bit insufficient, and the film schedule is not high. ”

"It doesn't matter, are you afraid that a film of this quality will not be popular?"

"In the end, Qin Yi's treatment was really too burning, I thought it was a cliché plot of different species shaking hands and making peace and building a beautiful universe together, it's comfortable!"

"Lu Zhiyao's acting is really good, I feel that Mr. Pei has an instruction manual for Lu Zhiyao, it was a box office poison before, but now this acting skill is simply visible to the naked eye, it really feels like an actor!"

The audience was all full of praise, and it was clear that the actual effect of the film far exceeded their psychological expectations!

Although the audience who came to see the movie was for a variety of reasons, the vast majority still did not have too many unrealistic expectations.

What is the state of domestic science fiction movies, everyone knows in their hearts, if the producer of "Mission and Choice" is not Tengda but some other company, even if it is some very rich big companies, the audience will not come to see the zero point field as guinea pigs.

Because no other company has won such a high level of trust from the audience as Tengda.

In addition, there is not much publicity for this movie, and most viewers feel that this may be a "small and beautiful" film, that is, a type with enough advantages, but obvious shortcomings.

But after watching the movie, I found that it was not like that at all, and the movie far exceeded everyone's expectations in all aspects!

And this mentality has invisibly raised the audience's evaluation of "Mission and Choice".

It's like going to a restaurant to eat, almost delicious food, if it's in a restaurant with a lot of praise on the Internet, then customers may feel that it is difficult to live up to the fame; But if you happen to eat it at an unknown shop in a small alley, customers will definitely be particularly surprised and unforgettable!

Lu Xiaoping and the person in charge of the publicity and distribution of "Angry Sea Battleship" did not get up immediately with the rest of the audience, but fell silent.

From the beginning of the movie to the present, the two of them have not spoken a word again.

The person in charge was shocked by this movie, originally drowsy, but now he is very excited, especially the scene of the last scene has always lingered in his mind, and the picture has not been dispersed for a long time.

Although "Mission and Choice" is a competitive movie, and the better the performance, the worse the situation of "Battleship of the Angry Sea", but the person in charge is not in the mood to think about this for the time being, because he is completely conquered by this movie, and only appreciates it from the heart!

After a long time, the person in charge said, "It should be ...... No easter eggs. ”

Lu Xiaoping nodded silently: "Hmm...... Possibly. ”

The person in charge said: "Then, Mr. Lu, let's go?" ”

Lu Xiaoping: "Let's go......"

He was very depressed.

They came to see the premiere of the zero point field today, and they originally came with the mentality of watching jokes, but they never expected that they would become jokes.

There are still many viewers at the scene who have not left, obviously waiting for easter eggs.

But Lu Xiaoping judged that there should be no easter eggs, on the one hand, because the theater has been lit up, and on the other hand, because the whole story has been told very clearly, and there is no need for easter eggs to continue to warm up the next part of the story.

Strictly speaking, the whole story should end with Qin Yi being betrayed and sent into the swarm by AEEIS.

The meeting of the Supreme Executive Committee of the United Fleet and the awakening of Qin Yi in the body of the Leviathan Behemoth are more suitable as easter eggs.

But these two plots are too important, and the duration is also very long, if you make easter eggs, there will be a sense of separation, so Zhu Xiaoce thought about it again and again, and still put these two plots at the end of the movie, and the ending song played a good effect.

Lu Xiaoping also judged for this reason that there should be no easter eggs in the movie.

But just as the two were about to leave, some images appeared next to the scrolling list of end credits.

At the end of the film, there are no easter eggs, but there is something else.

These are some of the NG shots from Lu Zhiyao during the shoot!

He said his lines over and over again in front of the green screen, performing in different ways, sometimes stopping halfway through the show when he was not satisfied, and repeating it over and over again.

For the same kind of emotion, Lu Zhiyao has to play different feelings at least five or six times, and after carefully tasting it, he chooses the most satisfying one.

Among them, there is also a shot of Lu Zhiyao and AEEIS automatic intelligent bar lifting machine to speak to each other.

In the eyes of the audience, many of Lu Zhiyao's performances are actually very good, but Lu Zhiyao himself is still not satisfied, and he still performs over and over again, and every plot must be perfect.

Although these shots are not bad to take out, they are dwarfed by those shots in the feature film.

The audience that stayed behind was basically die-hard fans, and although the lights in the theater were already on, they still insisted on seeing the end, holding the idea of "what if there are easter eggs".

Unexpectedly, I really squatted to the unexpected joy!

"Damn, how many times do you have to shoot the same shot?"

Lu Zhiyao is so ruthless, I feel that his state is a little enchanted, and the same line has to be changed in several ways, and the effect is better than the first time. On the other hand, those little fresh meat who don't even memorize lines and only know how to lip-sync 1234567 acting, make judgments! ”

"In fact, strictly speaking, although Lu Zhiyao was born in a professional class, he didn't have any acting skills at the beginning, which was better than Xiao Xianrou, but it wasn't much better. But unlike Xiao Xianrou, he is not satisfied with the praise of fans, but is constantly strict with himself and tempering his acting skills, so he can bring us wonderful performances like "Beautiful Tomorrow" and "Mission and Choice"! ”

"Indeed, Lu Zhiyao's acting progress is really visible to the naked eye, this movie ticket is so worthwhile, it's just blood!"

"There are still many people in "Beautiful Tomorrow" who say that Lu Zhiyuan rubbed Tengda's book, and his acting skills also relied on Zhang Zuting, and now this statement should be self-defeating, right?"

"Indeed, if one person supports a movie with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, there is no need to discuss the issue of position, because the actor is alone!"

"This way down the road should be able to get rid of the title of 'box office poison', right? has performed so well in two movies in a row, and most of them will become a veritable actor in the future! ”

The audience sighed that even some people who were originally indifferent to the distance of the road were sincerely happy for his progress.

In recent years, there have been more and more traffic movies, and the acting skills of all kinds of small fresh meat in various so-called "big production" movies have repeatedly broken through the lower limit, and many audiences have long been unaccustomed to watching them.

And Lu Zhiyao has embarked on a completely different path from those small traffic fresh meat, obviously you can rely on your appearance, but you have to rely on your talent, and you have made unimaginable efforts for this, how can you not like it?

Finally, the final cast of the movie and the NG shot from the distance were also played.

The few remaining viewers finally left satisfied, and their hands were not idle, and they quickly posted a circle of friends to blow up.

Lu Xiaoping and the person in charge of "Battleship of the Angry Sea" walked out in a daze, as if they had lost their souls.

On the one hand, I was shocked by the content of the movie, and on the other hand, after watching "Mission and Choice", I was extremely worried about the current situation of Fanqi Media and "Battleship of the Angry Sea".

At that time, my mind was hot, and what a terrible opponent I had provoked!

There is a price to pay for this kind of movie.

Lu Xiaoping's plans are all based on the "poor quality of "Mission and Choice", which is why he will touch porcelain and increase the popularity of "Battleship of the Angry Sea".

But if the two movies are compared, "Battleship of the Angry Sea" is pressed to the ground and rubbed, then all the heat that came from before will be reversed!

If "Battleship of the Angry Sea" wins, it is domineering and confident, but if "Battleship of the Angry Sea" loses, it is sour, and it is a clown.

This feeling is like boxing in the ring, I thought the other party was a little weak chicken, and before the game, he put all kinds of cruel words, and the had been blown out, but I didn't expect to take a look on the stage, the other party took off his coat, and his arms were thicker than his thighs.

It's a hammer!

The two of them were silent, they both knew in their hearts that the current situation was bad enough, but in fact, it was just the beginning!
