The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 308 Don't Go Gentle into That Good Night

The sudden turn of events plunged all viewers into shock and disbelief.

As a film critic, Beringxia has watched countless movies. Before the plot where men and women mainly "landed" on the International Space Station, he certainly had a premonition that someone might receive a lunch box.

In view of the fact that Wu Yue is the absolute protagonist in both the poster and the trailer.

Then Lei Jiayin is most likely to receive the lunch box.

This is also normal. In a thrilling story, each companion is left behind or sacrificed one after another, leaving only the protagonist to reach the finish line. Such a story naturally has more dramatic tension.

But after the thrilling adventure, and before reaching the finish line, it was absolutely unexpected for the hero to receive the boxed lunch.

And it is when the heroine is still struggling in danger, and the hero seems to have landed safely.

This method of sudden death, which often happens in horror thrillers, was actually used by the director in this space disaster film, and the effect is indeed quite shocking.

This reminded him of "Mirage" two months ago, and "Fatal Identity" two and a half years ago.

Chen Jingxing is very good at using this kind of routine, and has achieved amazing results. The routine is not afraid of getting old, just like the classic last minute rescue, as long as it is used well, it will produce very powerful dramatic effects.

Beringxia's emotion was only momentary, because Chen Jingxing didn't give the audience in the theater any buffer time.

Amidst the warning sound of oxygen depletion, Wu Yue held his breath, grabbed the handrail and climbed forward quickly.

It is still the No.1 viewing angle. In the shaky picture, a layer of white mist gradually condenses on the glass mask, the open hatch is getting closer, and a few drops of water are floating in the mask.

Those were the tears that Wu Yue shed.

The great shock and immersive visual experience that has not dissipated allow the audience to quickly establish empathy with the heroine.

Wu Yue entered the airlock chamber, closed the door and tried to adjust the air pressure, but the air pressure in the airlock chamber was only restored to less than half and then stopped. Obviously, the system failed.

She had to take the risk to open the inner gate, but fortunately she was prepared, a slight gas explosion erupted the moment the inner gate opened, and Wu Yue, who was about to pass out due to lack of oxygen and being hit by the gas explosion, burst out with strong willpower and survived, Struggling to enter the airtight cabin.

The moment Wu Yue took off the helmet, accompanied by the heroine's big gasp, the audience in the theater let out a collective sigh of relief.

This plot has always used the No.1 perspective, so the audience almost experienced the struggle of the heroine in their own place.

Watching her run into a problem and come up with a solution to it in a split second.

Yet the danger was not over.

After taking a few deep breaths, the heroine who replenished her brain's lack of oxygen was quickly awakened by the sound of a flashing red fire alarm.

It may be the damage caused by the previous satellite debris, or it may be the result of Lei Jiayin opening the airlock and causing a strong gas explosion.

The bottom of the long passage ahead was glowing red, and thick smoke began to accumulate and spread.

There are even flames floating from the front.

Before Beringxia took a breath, he was once again dragged into a tense and dangerous situation by the movie, and he didn't even have time to applaud the heroine's tenacity.

Reflexively, Wu Yue picked up a fire extinguisher from the side, and as soon as he sprayed it at the flames, he was pushed to the wall next to him by the reaction force.

"oops!"

Under repeated exclamations and laments, many viewers suddenly remembered that this was a state of weightlessness in space.

The fire became more and more fierce, Wu Yue saw that the International Space Station could not be saved, so he quickly searched for the entrance of the Soyuz escape capsule.

It was the classic "last minute" plot again. Under the attention of the audience anxious to slap their thighs, Wu Yue pulled up the hatch at the last moment and blocked the flames from the hatch.

She put on the spacesuit in the escape capsule and came to the console. As a Chinese astronaut, she has never been to the International Space Station, and she certainly has not been trained on how to start and operate the Soyuz return capsule.

But of course she knew English next to Russian on the operating platform of the return cabin, and there were also operating manuals written in English and Russian on the platform.

"Damn it! This is learning now and applying it now!" The Martian guest next to him couldn't help complaining.

"Self-study in the exam room!"

"This shows the importance of knowing a foreign language!"

The huge return capsule slowly left the orbital module and the huge international space station.

The camera once again takes Wu Yue as the first perspective, and the picture is facing the optical sight.

Outside the optical sight is the blue earth, and the return capsule of the Soyuz seems to be returning to the embrace of Mother Earth.

Suddenly a huge pulling force appeared, as if being pulled back by something, and the scenery outside the window was also advancing rapidly, which proved that the return capsule was retreating rapidly.

"parachute!"

"It's still attached to the parachute!"

In the picture, the huge parachute behind the return capsule is driven to float up.

The roller coaster, or rather the big pendulum, is at it again.

The difference is that this time it is the reentry capsule where the heroine is being driven to swing.

The return capsule was pulled and hit the audience again.

Even though the audience has experienced it many times in this movie, they still couldn't help exclaiming, and their bodies shrank back reflexively, as if to avoid the oncoming cabin.

During the thrilling swing, Wu Yue controlled the propulsion system at the last moment, and at the moment when he was about to hit the orbital module, he stopped the escape module from moving forward.

In this way, if you want to leave the space station, you must first disconnect the parachute.

Cheng Hongtao sighed in admiration. To be honest, the progress of the plot of this movie has completely exceeded his expectations. He originally thought that the visual effects of this movie might be amazing, but the plot will not be very complicated. The 90-minute The length of time also supports his thoughts from the side.

But seeing now, he has to admit that the story is indeed not complicated, but the dangerous and exciting plots are very logical one after another, and there is no time for the audience to breathe.

He had no idea what kind of candy Chen Jingxing would take out of his pocket later, but it would definitely be more exciting.

Wearing the extravehicular spacesuit of the Soyuz, Wu Yue opened the door of the connecting cabin, took tools along the protruding grip outside the cabin, climbed to the part where the tail is connected to the parachute, and prepared to remove the buckle of the parachute.

At this moment, a gap appeared in the huge sun wing below without a sound!
"Satellite fragments!" Martian guest blurted out intently.

Beringxia and Cheng Hongtao beside him tensed up.

That's right, I almost forgot about the space debris that comes every 90 minutes!

The hostess obviously thought about it too, she turned her head in panic, and some white spots appeared in the picture in the distant night sky.

It's "Last Minute Rescue" again!Only this idea came to Beringxia's mind, and he devoted himself to the plot that became tense again.

And this time the scene did not disappoint him.

After a domino-like chain reaction, there are more satellite debris than at the beginning of the movie. The dense debris hit the International Space Station, and the debris flew around, and even an orbital module exploded!
The disintegration of the entire International Space Station also dragged the parachute to fly, and the parachute drove the Soyuz spacecraft.

Wu Yue tightly held the handle on the return capsule, and swung as the entire return capsule revolved around the core section of the space station.

A more violent visual impact than the previous waves hit the audience in the theater.

Dense fragments shot at Beringman like a hail of bullets, and after the hail of bullets, the sun wings and disintegrated cabins passed by his eyes or overhead.

Resisting the urge to close his eyes, Beringxia leaned against the back of the chair tightly, experiencing the visual spectacle of riding a roller coaster in a car accident version in a movie theater.

This long shot + 360-degree rotation is really imaginative.

Others may not have such a good psychological quality as him. Many audiences in the theater even closed their eyes unconsciously, unable to bear the visual impact brought by IMAX+3D.

Of course, the heroine got rid of the traction of the parachute at the last moment and climbed back to the Soyuz spacecraft.

Without the parachute, the Soyuz escape capsule naturally couldn't return to Earth smoothly, but Wu Yue has already found the "way" to go home - the Tiangong-[-] experimental space station that has not yet fallen into the atmosphere.

The Tiangong-[-] experimental space station is gradually stalling and its orbit is lowering. Since the Soyuz return capsule on the International Space Station cannot land on the earth, it will rely on the power of the Soyuz to fly to Tiangong-[-] and use the escape capsule of Tiangong-[-] to return to Earth.

"This is a relay escape!" Beringxia lamented the director's imagination.

And...Using Tiangong-[-] to finally return to Earth, this is really a gift film, Beringxia naturally knows that Huaguo will launch Tiangong-[-] experimental space station in the second half of this year.

This is really the perfect benefit of "presenting a gift", and there is nothing blunt about it, it is extremely natural.

However, the progress of the plot once again exceeded his expectations.

The Soyuz spacecraft ran out of propellant to adjust its flight attitude during the toss just now. When Wu Yue pointed the optical sight at Tiangong-[-], which was only the size of a black spot in the distance, he pressed the button but nothing happened. movement.

It seems that there is only one step away from the last hope, but there is no possibility of moving forward!

Through the window of the return cabin, Wu Yue knocked on the console in despair and let out a desperate cry.

This desperation also eats away at the viewer's thoughts.

From the beginning of the movie to the present, the audience and the heroine have experienced several desperate situations together, but this time is undoubtedly the deepest despair.

Even Beringxia, who has seen through the routines of this movie, unconsciously came up with the idea that the ending should be BE.

In fact, this movie has always followed the routine of "accident-desperate situation-rescue in the last minute". Of course, this routine is very cleverly set up, and it is linked one after another, making people unable to relax their tense nerves.

But this time, even Beringxia, who thought he had grasped Chen Jingxing's rhythm, became suspicious. In the silent space, the Soyuz spacecraft that had run out of power fuel was floating alone above the earth.

How can we get to Tiangong-[-]?How to save yourself?
This desperate situation is unprecedented darkness and helplessness.

Wu Yue's desperation and helplessness deeply infected every audience in the theater, even if everyone admired and marveled at the heroine's tenacity and bravery in the previous dangerous situations.

But the more I admire the strong will of the heroine, the more I feel desperate for the heroine at this time.

So many dangers have survived, but still can't escape the ending of being trapped in the "space coffin".

After the deepest despair comes relief.

The hostess seemed to have gradually accepted the reality. She took off her helmet, breathed white air in the escape cabin where the temperature was getting lower and lower, stretched out her already frozen hands and tremblingly turned off the life support system in the cabin, and the oxygen began to flow. Lowered, she leaned back in her chair, turned her head and looked out of the glass, the brilliance of distant stars sprinkled unreservedly on the earth, shining on her stiff body.

It is so dazzling, so dazzling.

Like the bright sunshine in the park that day.

As soon as Wu Yue opened her eyes, she found herself standing under the dazzling sunlight. She raised her hand to cover her forehead and looked at her daughter who was laughing and climbing up the slide and jumping down.

"Mom, you come to skate too! You come to skate too!" The daughter happily ran over and took her hand.

"This is a children's slide, and my mother is an adult..."

The screen turned to the hospital ward again.

The daughter lay pale and weak on the hospital bed, watching the live broadcast of the Shenzhou 13 spacecraft returning to Earth on TV, her tone was still innocent and happy.

"Mom, I want to be an astronaut when I grow up!"

Wu Yue looked at his daughter on the hospital bed, as if looking at a piece of porcelain that had fallen on the ground, she twitched the corners of her mouth, and made a little smile: "Okay, when An An grows up, she will fly to space on a Shenzhou spacecraft to watch the moon. "

"Mom has to stay with me too!"

"...Mom will accompany you!"

"Why is there a parachute?" The little girl stretched out her finger with difficulty and pointed to the [-]D animation demonstration of the spacecraft returning on the TV.

"because……"

"Why did you breathe fire at the end?"

"That's the spacecraft's soft landing thruster...too fast to..."

"..."

The girl rubbed her eyes sleepily, and begged weakly: "Mom, I want to hear the story, or the story about Mars you told me yesterday."

"Okay, then shall I continue with "Red Star Blues"?
...Wingarten wrote to Danny...Do not go gentle into that good night...Rage, rage against the passing of the light...Though wise men know the truth of darkness at their deathbed, for their words do not burst forth lightning ..."

Do not go gentle into that good night!
Roar, roar! !

The sudden and passionate music sent a surge of electricity through Beringxia's back.

Wu Yue woke up from a trance, the rapid breathing combined with the rapid and tense drumbeat and the intense orchestra that seemed to be going to fight on the battlefield, but she and the audience in the theater gave birth to an unknown force!

That's the wrath of the Grim Reaper for taking lovely people out of this world!
That is the roar of the impending fall into eternal night!

It is also the roar of life to despair!

"Soft landing... soft landing!" Wu Yue murmured to himself with renewed will to survive like never before.

Soft landing?
Beringxia felt that he was about to puncture the layer of paper, and the Martian man beside him slapped his thigh: "Damn! Absolutely!"

As Wu Yue dug out the English-Russian bilingual operation manual again, most of the audience gradually understood the heroine's survival method.

"Smart!" Beringxia blinked, trying to evaporate the tears from the sudden touch, and praised sincerely.

Let the system think that it has landed three meters from the ground, and then manually start the anti-propulsion engine, so as to gain huge power and fly to Tiangong-[-].

Blazing yellow flames spewed out, and the violin and cello symphony, with the hope born from the most desperate place, sailed towards Tiangong-[-], which was entering the atmosphere.

Wu Yue solemnly put on the helmet and lay down by the window, his eyes flashed with the firmness and absoluteness when he read that poem to his daughter on the hospital bed!

Mom never gives up!

The audience held their breath and listened to the roaring symphony music, waiting for Wu Yue to fulfill her promise, and looking forward to the final climax!

When Beringxia saw that she was approaching Tiangong-[-] and crossed it, Wu Yue picked up the fire extinguisher she had brought into the Soyuz spacecraft to extinguish the flames on the space station.

"Wow..." He realized something.

"Damn..." The Martian man next to him also stared at the giant screen, and uttered a modal particle.

Wu Yue left the escape capsule and jumped into the space where the dawn was approaching.

Against the backdrop of an arc of halo over the dim edge of the Earth, the sunlight that will reveal the curved horizon.

Wu Yue held the fire extinguisher in front of her chest, and the white air flow spurted out, driving her body to fly and spin in space.

"Fuck!"

"Absolutely!"

"Is this all right?!"

"Wow……"

The audience in the theater was almost stunned watching this "space solo", amazed, silent, and sighed.

In this world without the classic sci-fi animation "WALL-E", the film critics and reporters present, as well as the filmmakers or stars in the industry, can only admire the director's imagination while admiring this picture.

It can only be described as whimsical and romantic.

Wu Yue struggled to control the posture and direction of her body, and finally got close to Tiangong-[-]. She stood upside down, stretched her hand downwards, touched the sun wing, and slid all the way to the orbital module, falling into the atmosphere together with Tiangong-[-] space station. The moment he entered, he grabbed the armrest of the hatch.

In the turbulent and introverted symphony, under the collective gaze of the audience off the screen, and under the tremor that the space station as a whole has entered the edge of the atmosphere, it climbed to the hatch step by step with difficulty.

Wu Yue looked up into the space, and the satellite debris struck again.

"Fuck, here we go again!"

"Quick, come in!"

Amidst the exclamations one after another, Wu Yue entered Tiangong No. [-], and the flashing red light warning lingered in his ears. The audience had no time to sigh for the voice alarm in Chinese characters and Huaguo dialect in the space station, and their emotions were always in a state of anxiety and conflict with the heroine. worried.

It wasn't until Wu Yue entered the escape cabin and locked the door that Beringxia let go of most of his worries.

Outside the porthole is the atmosphere that is quickly skipped, and the console is marked with buttons in Chinese characters, as well as a Chinese operation manual.

Even Beringxia, who had no patriotic feelings, had some inexplicable feelings in his heart.

Wu Yue pressed several operating buttons quickly and calmly, and started the procedure of undocking.

Tiangong-[-] completely entered the atmosphere, several cabins wrapped in crimson disintegrated, and flew towards the earth rapidly.

The orchestral symphony gradually reached its climax since the beginning of the movie!

The high-pitched emotions infected all the audience.

Although life and death are still uncertain, although it is still difficult to be sure that we can reach the other side of life.

But miraculously, Beringxia no longer had any worry and tension, no fear and fear in his heart.

It seems that this is enough, life has shown her tenacious strength, has uttered a loud enough cry to the night, and has roared enough courage.

The singing of the female voice is perfectly integrated with the passion of the orchestra, and the high-pitched, beautiful, sacred and penetrating voice seems to blend into a hymn to life.

A series of blazing meteors, dragging a white smoke tail, skipped over the magnificent ocean and land below like an oil painting, exploding the tension, fear, despair and worry accumulated in the past 90 minutes like a firework in everyone's heart open.

Like a daytime shooting star!

While his scalp was tingling, Beringxia watched as the escape capsule where the heroine was in unfolded its parachute, and fell into the lake on the bank under the dazzling flames of the thrust reverser engine.

Opening the hatch, water from outside the cabin poured in violently, sealing the heroine's movement out of the cabin, and the escape cabin filled with water slowly fell to the bottom of the lake.

Just as the audience watched this scene with trepidation, a figure appeared in the screen. Wu Yue took off his spacesuit in the water with difficulty, with his arms up, trying to touch the light on the water surface, and swam to the lake like a fish.

Wu Yue lay on his back on the lake as if in a state of collapse, and the other fragments of Tiangong-[-] turned into daytime meteors and streaked across the sky!

She swam to the shore with difficulty, struggling to raise her arms and stand up, but she couldn't!
While Wu Yue kept shaking her head while grabbing the soil and laughing, the surging and thin symphony sounded again, failing and slipping again and again, but she still tried to support her body again and again.

The audience in the hall all silently raised their heads and stared at the heroine's attempt to stand up, as if they were constantly cheering for the astronauts and human beings who were struggling to survive in space.

The camera looked up at Wu Yue who stood up staggeringly, which seemed to symbolize that the audience in front of the screen looked up to the courage of human beings to pursue hope and the cry of never giving up!
It seems to symbolize the human spaceflight career, faltering but moving forward firmly!

The black curtain fell, but in Beringxia's mind, the figure of the woman standing on the mud like a toddler still lingered lingeringly.

When the lights came on, Beringxia turned his head and was surprised to find that in the midst of Han Hong's singing again and the beautiful and ethereal melody of the cello, the Martian guest had already burst into tears.

On the other side, Cheng Hongtao had already closed his eyes and leaned back on the back of the chair. He didn't know if he was enjoying the beautiful and moving melody, or he couldn't bear the sudden lighting of the lights.

But the applause has spread from the front row like a tsunami.

Chen Jingxing, Wu Yue, Lei Jiayin and other main creative personnel walked towards the stage while continuously paying tribute to the audience who were clapping hard on both sides of the aisle under the illumination of the follow-up lights.
