The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 258 Redefining the Main Theme

After all, Wu Heng is not an ordinary audience. He has a working relationship and a high number of viewings. He can't let himself be completely immersed in the plot, so he spared some energy to analyze and take stock of the film.

Although the plot of "The Mekong River" is straightforward, in fact, as a film with a case prototype, it is also a proposition composition directed by the Ministry of Public Security, so it is not easy to play tricks on the narrative structure, and commerciality cannot dissolve the most basic seriousness.

But the straightforward narrative doesn’t mean it’s not fascinating. Audiences love to watch it if it’s a good routine. Except for the opening chapter that caught Wu Heng off guard, the following plot can clearly see the veins of traditional military action movies. Of course, it’s Hollywood’s “tradition.” ", military action movies are still very rare in China.

But just judging from this chasing and fighting scene, Wu Heng's evaluation is that it is smooth, and the music, movements, shots and rhythm are quite perfect, and it looks mature and sophisticated.

This made him very curious about Guo Fan, the director of the movie. After doing detailed homework for each movie, he knew that Guo Fan's previous movie was "You at the Same Table", so the director was also what Wu Heng thought before. The biggest risk point of "The Mekong".

The second risk is the main theme itself, the propositional composition arranged under the guidance of the Ministry of Public Security, which in itself will make people worry, whether it will become a "model play", and Chen Jingxing may not be able to jump even if the shackles are too heavy.

But within 10 minutes of the opening, these two worries have been declared bankrupt. Guo Fan, the director who was not optimistic before, staged a "gentleman and leopard change". From this chasing and fighting scene, we can see the level of the director. It's like having a lot of experience shooting these kinds of action movies in Hollywood.

As for the shackles of the main theme, in the brutal and bloody opening chapter, it has already been announced that "this time the main theme is beyond your imagination!", almost redefining the three words of the main theme.

Just as Wu Heng was secretly giving this chase and fighting scene a perfect score, the subsequent interrogation scene of Hu Ge's captured target made a small number of audience members almost exclaim.

The hidden house halfway up the mountain, the dim interrogation room, and the extremely realistic makeup on the actors' faces and bodies still made the domestic audience feel the impact, which is rarely seen on the big screen.

In particular, Hu Ge's interrogation methods are also extremely brutal. As the main protagonist in the film, the anti-drug undercover agent shows such cruelty in the film, whether it is from Hu Ge's breakthrough performance or as a domestic theme film in For the shaping of the positive protagonist on the big screen, there are only two words to describe it: fresh and breakthrough.

In fact, there are no bloody scenes in the previous films made by DreamWorks. Even in "Fatal Identity", there are no frontal shots of the victim's death or even the murder process. It all depends on the suspenseful atmosphere created.

In a sense, "The Mekong River" is indeed the largest movie produced by DreamWorks, and it is also a movie that has broken through the inspection standards in all aspects of violence, blood and anti-drug police in recent years in domestic movies.

Wu Heng couldn't help but feel a little absurd at the same time. The first thing the audience thought of when they heard the main theme was "model play".

After this movie, I am afraid that many viewers will hear the three words of the main theme again, and the first thing they think of is "by order to break through the red line", right?
During Hu Ge's cruel interrogation, the drug dealer confessed that the mastermind behind it was a man named Yan Duopa, and Yan Duopa was under the hand of the big drug lord Nuoka. Since then, the truth finally surfaced, Nuoka Group It is the culprit behind the Mekong case.

Under the coordination of the joint task force, the police from the four countries attacked at the same time and arrested a large number of drug dealers.

And because of Nuoka's close relationship with the Siamese military, in order to prevent Nuoka from falling into the hands of other countries, the headquarters gave an order to Gao Gang, the leader of the Huaguo Action Team, played by Zhang Hanyu, to catch Nuoka first.

In order to obtain the exact hiding place of Nuoka, it is necessary to catch Yan Duopa, his confidant who is active outside, and Yan Duopa is currently being held in a bar in the Golden Triangle Special Zone by Pu Zha, another big drug lord. Owl's lair.

Therefore, an operation to hijack another drug dealer in the lair of the big drug lord is about to start.

"It's a bit like a game mission..." Wu Heng thought with great interest: "Nuoka is the final boss, and the final map is the fog. By rescuing key people, obtaining information, and then rescuing the next key person, the way to obtain information is one step." Step through the customs."

Wu Heng lowered his head and looked at the time. It was less than 5 minutes since the last big scene where the police from the four countries attacked to clean up the gambling den. The movie started 10 minutes ago, and the literary and martial arts kept alternating at an intensive rhythm. Nothing at all, always pulling the attention and nerves of the audience.

This movie has learned the essence of the golden rules of Hollywood commercial movies.

Compared with Hu Ge's single-handed "chasing and fighting scene", this time the rescue operation has more people, the scene is bigger, and it is more exciting.

There were bursts of exclamations in the theater.

What impresses Wu Heng the most is not the action design of simply knocking out and crippling with one move at a time, nor the full map hanging of the drone, nor the technological attack that interferes with the signal, nor the team leader that is rarely seen in domestic action movies. level fit.

Instead, there is a fake long-shot action scene in the middle with Zhang Hanyu as the first perspective. The camera is Zhang Hanyu's eyes. The audience, including Wu Heng, seems to have suddenly entered the "No. 1 shooting game".

Following the shaking camera, Zhang Hanyu became the No.1 character in the FPS game controlled by the audience.

Run, jump, hide, fight with the enemy, shoot, roll, drag the rescue target to escape, look back at the chasing minions, the swords and axes thrown by the pursuers swirled across the eyes!

Run to the top of the building, hang the slide rope that has been prepared, put the rescue target on the wooden board, step on the wooden board, jump down from the upstairs along the zipline, and slide to the opposite street.

This series of 3-minute actions is completely presented on the big screen with Zhang Hanyu as the No. 1 perspective.

The audience seemed to be possessed by Zhang Hanyu at this moment, making these actions.

And it's a 3D picture.

This immersive and wonderful experience has dazzled many audiences. Audiences who have played FPS games let out a groan, and some even whistled. They have never played this No.1 shooting game. The audience was also dragged into Zhang Hanyu's body by this "No.1" lens, holding their breath under the sense of substitution that they had never experienced before, and it was difficult to be distracted.

Wu Heng was also amazed at the 3-minute "long shot", which is definitely the most eye-catching scene in this action scene.

Because No.1 said that the camera has a strong sense of substitution, when Zhang Hanyu makes a shot, or when he looks back and sees the chasing villain waving his hand and throwing a knife and ax to wipe his face, the audience can't help twisting their bodies to avoid it.

There is a feeling of making 3D into a 5D movie.

However, as the No.1 perspective on the screen left, before the audience could breathe a sigh of relief, the car chase and shootout scene started again. When Wu Heng and most of the audience thought that this was an ordinary car chase scene, the climax had passed .

The pursuers leaned out from the sunroof of the car and resisted the bazooka-style rocket launcher, causing the auditorium to scream again.

Wu Heng nodded secretly. This action scene is undoubtedly the pinnacle since the beginning of the film. Both in terms of creativity and completion, it has reached the first-class level of similar Hollywood themes, and even surpassed it in some aspects.

After the rescue operation, the investigation team obtained new information and moved one step closer to Nuoka's hiding place.

When investigating the rescued Nuoka confidant Yanduopa, the investigation team found that he often purchased a large amount of raw materials for the production of dp through a middleman.

Through the medicinal materials dealer, there are only two agents of Nuoka in the Golden Triangle who are interrogated. One is unknown, and the other is Mr. Sha, the middleman.

The action team staged a play, and finally caught Mr. Sha, and was able to really get close to the Nuoka Group.

The investigation team wanted to make a transaction with Nuoka under the introduction of Mr. Sha through Zhang Hanyu's assumed identity, and then install a tracker in the US dollars to track the withdrawer, so as to find out Nuoka's lair.

But I didn't expect that the Nuoka Group was also very defensive, and they saw through the investigation team through each other's routines, and the two sides were on the verge of breaking out.

This action scene is the third big action scene after Hu Ge's street chase and the rescue operation in the drug lord's stronghold led by Zhang Hanyu.

And in this third scene, the two male protagonists Hu Ge and Zhang Hanyu began to fight side by side.

This action scene is set in a large shopping mall in Kuala Lumpur, with an unprecedented number of "props", and the martial arts style naturally has a strong Cheng Long-style action movie flavor.

One side of Wu Heng's brain is following the plot, while the other side is refining key words for explanation and commentary. There are three fight scenes with three styles. The first scene is a personal hero style, and the second scene uses high-tech The teamwork of the means, and this scene turned into a Cheng Long-style chaos.

The key is that every fight scene is completed to a high degree, and his rating for this movie has already been vaguely formed in his mind.

But the scene that followed made him and the audience in the theater unknowingly shocked.

Amidst the hesitation of the member of the action team nicknamed "Master", a child who looked like he might only be in his early ten years old took a submachine gun from his bag and knocked him down in a pool of blood without hesitation.

If the audience was most impressed by the 3-minute "No.1 Long Shot" in the last fighting scene, then what impressed the audience the most in this big fight in the shopping mall was the child soldier's attack. play.

Some people may not be too touched by this, but when a child pulls out a weapon and kills people carelessly, it has an impact on most audiences, and it can be regarded as a breakthrough in another sense.

And the tone of the whole movie began to change subtly after this encounter in the mall.

The shock of child soldiers has not gone far. Immediately, a seemingly younger child entered the police station where the four-nation joint working group was located and carried out suicide bombing, causing numerous casualties.

As a result, the mood of the film turned to grief and heaviness, and the subsequent literary drama achieved the accumulation of anger and successfully ignited it through the deaths and injuries of comrades-in-arms, the in-depth excavation of Hu Ge's identity, and the shock brought by child soldiers.

If the first half of the film is the home of the action scene, then the audience has completed the substitution and empathy here, and then echoed back and forth with the cruel and bloody massacre on the fishing boat at the beginning of the film, which not only makes the characters in the play feel more comfortable with each other. The card group ignited the flames of anger, and also mobilized the audience's deeper emotions. It had an emotional resonance with the victims and protagonists of the tragic death of the Mekong incident, and prepared the emotional foreshadowing for the final decisive battle.

In the end, the action scene of raiding Nuoka Group's lair in the jungle and arresting Nuoka was not only bigger and more tragic, but also more complicated clues.

The participating parties not only have action teams, but also the Nuoka Group, as well as the Siamese military hiding in the dark and preparing to act as weasels.

The interweaving of the three forces made the situation of this decisive battle more complicated and thrilling.

Special engagements, jungle ambushes, hand-to-hand combat, minefield chases, speedboat chases, and the sacrifice of individual heroism can be called a hodgepodge of military action scenes. You have everything you want, and there are also scenes that the audience did not expect.

As an up host of film and television commentary with a good number of readings, Wu Heng also has to praise, at least in China, excluding some pure war movies, there is no action movie in recent years that can find a scene and element greater than this decisive battle that's it.

When the passenger plane landed in the quiet music, under the presence of a large number of policemen and the flashing lights of a large number of media, Nuoka, the culprit of the Mekong River incident, was escorted off the plane, and Nuoka was sentenced to death in the subtitles.

Most of the audience, including Wu Heng, did not feel embarrassed or bored at all by this seemingly main theme of the drama, but felt that the surging emotions in their hearts were relieved.

It couldn't have been a more fitting ending.

Although the lights have been turned on, most of the audience in the theater did not get up, either looking at the real documentary photos of the Mekong River tragedy on the left side of the subtitle, or discussing some plots in the movie in whispers.

Wu Heng only felt that all the depression accumulated in the three movies he had watched before "The Mekong" had disappeared. He was already full of inspiration for the content of the first commentary video on the Spring Festival file, and he couldn't wait to go home and watch it. Started writing the script.

Of course, before that, I still want to thank DreamWorks for the pleasant experience brought to him by another excellent work. Wu Heng applauded with both hands to express his thanks.

Someone in the front row turned around to check the source of the applause. With Wu Heng taking the lead, some audience members who also found the movie very enjoyable also gave sporadic applause.

Outside, there was an audience who had just passed by the theater with its doors open. Hearing the applause from inside, they were a little surprised: "What kind of movie is there with applause? Let's ask the staff."

Hearing this, the first person who came out of the theater said with an excited expression, "It's Operation Mekong! It's really good. Some people took the lead in applauding, and the others followed suit. But the movie is really good... "

"Daughter-in-law, why don't we watch "The Mekong" after watching "The Mermaid" later?"

"It's too late……"

"It's not too late, what time is it? I'll check if there is a middle seat..."
