The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 278
The universe, outer space, the earth and huge man-made aircraft, these pictures are naturally shocking, maybe it is the fear of the deep and the giant hidden in everyone's heart, or maybe it is "a drop in the sky, a drop in the ocean". ", so in fact, space themes have natural advantages from the perspective of creating visual wonders.

The less than 3-minute trailer of "Gravity" is direct and brutal, visually overwhelming the viewer's senses.

Perhaps the picture shown in the trailer is not as powerful as the naked powerful technical force in "The Jungle Book" where every hair is meticulously detailed, but the degree of shock is still greater.

In Cheng Hongtao's view, this is definitely a trailer that can score full marks, even with the harshest eyes, there are no flaws.

This made him a little depressed. He didn't do many film reviews on DreamWorks' film and television works, mainly because they weren't too dark. Of course, he didn't like all DreamWorks films. " and "The Mekong".

The setting of "Source Code" is very creative. The military retains the brains of the pilots who died in the line of duty to solve the case. The positive characters, the hero and the military cooperated tacitly to clear the customs and ended successfully.

This makes the natural criticality and thoughtfulness of the setting itself "disappear", turning it into a "popular" popcorn sci-fi action movie in his eyes. There are many popcorn movies that are bright and happy for everyone, but I don’t watch domestic movies because of this. Otherwise, why don’t I watch Hollywood blockbusters?

In his eyes, "The Mekong River" is more of a parody of Hollywood military action-themed Chinese copycat films, a little fusion and innovation of some classic Hollywood elements into a shell of real events.

However, the word-of-mouth of these two works is very good. He is doing his part to complain about the bad domestic films that everyone shouts and beats. .

The number of fans of Chen Jingxing and DreamWorks is quite considerable, even in the eyes of passers-by, the brand of DreamWorks is also excellent, it is not worthwhile for a hard black to provoke a show.

But DreamWorks went from one victory to another. Under the praise of his fans, Chen Jingxing was about to change from the number one director in China to the number one director in the world, and even called out the title of "King of Science Fiction". The more the hatred is drawn, the more "opposition" will naturally be born. It's just that DreamWorks has never missed it so far, and can't find a chance to laugh at it.

Among Cheng Hongtao's fans, there are many such people, because Cheng Hongtao himself thinks like this, and there is no need for him to slander Chen Jingxing and DreamWorks in his film reviews. He can only say what kind of pot and cover, and what kind of value film critics People will attract fans of the same values.

"Gravity" is the movie that Chen Jingxing is most likely to miss in his mind. Heavy industry special effects blockbusters are not so easy to shoot. Many directors are at home in small and medium-budget productions, full of aura, but once they get involved in heavy industrial movies, they are finished, let alone Huaguo itself is deficient in the film industry.

But this trailer with only 2 minutes and 40 seconds has already shattered most of his faint expectations.

Although trailers and movies are not the same thing, they may not even be positively related.

But this trailer is so amazing that even people with his position can't have any pessimistic expectations for the movie itself.

"Huh, such a good visual effect must have been produced by Universal's special effects studio. I guess Mo is just making soy sauce. It's surprising that DreamWorks is so willing to spend money. This kind of effect is really on the billion level. no moisture...

Think carefully about these scenes in the trailer are definitely CG. If the whole film takes place in space, it means that this film can even be regarded as the work of a special effects company. As the director, Chen Jingxing is not the soul of this film at all. , This is simply a Hollywood movie!
That's right, this is actually a movie where Hollywood makes the face and DreamWorks spends money to make the face, no matter how successful the visual effects of this movie are, it is also a success of Hollywood, there is no conflict with my thoughts..."

After changing his mind, Cheng Hongtao felt better, and even cheered up again. He wanted to post a post to praise Universal's special effects studio. Although the special effects company Legacy is not well-known, its technical strength is really good. It can be seen that Hollywood's film industry is indeed powerful.

However, Hong Tao still suppressed this urge. The article he wanted to write was naturally the same as the film reviews of "Source Code" and "Mekong River", using spring and autumn brushwork and adding some private goods, so that everyone can understand "Gravity" No matter how good the shooting is, no matter how shocking the effect is, the main contributors are Hollywood special effects companies.

But always cautious, he decided to wait a little longer.

He is also considered to be well-known in the film critic circle, and a well-known blogger with a lot of fans, it is difficult to take back what he said, and it will even make him embarrassing if he makes a mistake.

"When "Gravity" is released, we'll talk about it after watching the entire film..."

The trailer of "Gravity" was released simultaneously on the official Weibo accounts of DreamWorks and Chen Jingxing. After it was released, it quickly attracted a surge of reposts and comments.

Especially Chen Jingxing's movie fans, the first time they found out that this update on his Weibo was the trailer of "Gravity", they all clicked on it in surprise and after watching it, they all blew rainbows under this Weibo comment fart.

[It was so shocking that I couldn't speak after watching it]

[It was the first time I saw a human in space talking in Chinese, and I was a little moved. Who understands this feeling? 】

[The first time I saw a human being in space with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin, I was a little moved. Who knows this feeling? 】

[This is the first time... watching the trailer to see giant phobia, who knows this feeling? 】

[The formation upstairs is chaotic...]

[I have seen the picture of the earth many times in Hollywood movies, but I still think it is beautiful, and it feels more shocking than what I saw in other movies]

[The scene of the female astronaut standing on a long white stick being thrown and twirled I was stunned! 】

[The white stick...that's the mechanical arm...but the space station that appears on it should be our own future space station, right?Unlike the International Space Station, the structure is not so complicated, and it has a simple beauty. The orange-red solar sail is amazing, and the big red solar wing is really shocking in the picture! 】

[So that is our country's space station?Destroyed at the beginning?Good guy, Chen Jingxing is amazing, the space station that was finally built was destroyed without blinking? 】

[Everyone should be thankful that what Chen Jingxing destroyed was the space station, not the earth. I didn't see why the space station suddenly spun, jumped and disintegrated... Could it be some kind of kinetic energy weapon?]

[I was a little scared when I saw it. Is it possible to be rescued if a person is floating alone in space?I can't even imagine how the heroine can survive?I feel desperate for a little substitution! 】

[Leaving aside being rescued...how she stops rolling is a big problem, isn't this an artificial satellite?Ah no, it’s a human satellite…]

[Could it be that there are only female astronauts in the end?What about Lei Jiayin?It’s too miserable to get a box lunch when you come out]

[After my sharp eyes and my efforts to quickly press the pause button, the satellite fragments that caused the disintegration of the space station should be the satellite fragments. I can barely make out an image that looks like most of the satellites. The speed is too fast, even if the pause is blurred , but it should be a satellite]

[No one said special effects?It’s so realistic, how did you shoot it? If all the shots in the movie can have the same level as in the trailer, then this movie will be amazing]

[It seems that one billion is really worthless, not to mention the rubbish of "Illusion City", last year's "Monster Hunt", which claimed the highest level of special effects in Huaguo, is far inferior, the space station rotates and collides like a goddess scattered flowers The scene of the disintegration almost secreted my adrenaline. This was watched on a computer. What would it be like to watch it on IMAX? 】

[Don't forget that "Gravity" is still a 3D movie. I have already booked IMAX. If you don't watch this movie in a cinema, you will definitely regret it if you don't even watch it on the giant screen...]

Not only individual film critics felt that the trailer of "Gravity" could be given a full score, but DreamWorks was also very satisfied with this trailer in the previous internal publicity work meeting.

And the publicity effect triggered even exceeded the company's expectations to a certain extent.

Special effects and visual effects are important, but another very critical element is suspense.

Although DreamWorks has previously revealed that this movie is a bit like the space version of Robinson Crusoe, it is Space Survival.

But most people have no specific concept of this genre, and there have been no movies of this kind in the world before.

And this trailer intuitively brought the despair and shock of survival in space to the audience.

An astronaut is alone, floating in outer space with a destroyed space station and her home planet below.

It directly whetted the appetite of netizens. In this desperate situation, how should the heroine be rescued?Who wouldn't be curious after watching this trailer?Don't want to know what's next?
The effect of this suspense is even more shocking than the explosion of the earth at the beginning of "Battleship" and the spaceship becoming an orphan of human civilization.

Because "Battleship" is an animation work, and "Gravity" is a real person, and it is a lonely person.

The audience will have a strong sense of anxiety about this.

This is simply the biggest boost for ticket reminders and publicity. It can be said that this trailer can cover tens of millions of publicity costs, and it doesn't even take much effort to spread the trailer.

"Gravity" has been repeatedly mentioned by the media for more than a year, coupled with the explosive expressiveness of this trailer, so that netizens who have watched the trailer are reposting and reposting this video, and the media and marketing accounts are also shocked by various methods. body reports.

In addition, it is also inseparable from the fact that the trailer has hit the national emotions in many people's hearts in a sense.

Although everyone knows that "Gravity" is Huaguo's first sci-fi movie involving space, but I really saw Huaguo people communicating and talking in space, and even have their own majestic space station.

When such a picture really appears, most people will feel inexplicably moved or excited when they hear Hua Guohua appear in a space movie.
