The King of Huayu Science Fiction

"Today's scene is really big enough."

"Haha, I'm afraid not many of them are here for the movie."

Guoshi, as always, took his daughter Zhang Mo to attend the first screening of "[-]".

The national teacher shook his head and smiled: "The media, it's normal. When "Jaguar" was released, the media and reporters from both sides of the strait and the three places didn't care about the movie, they only paid attention to my lace news, especially Hong Kong and Taiwan. The reporter is not usually difficult to deal with."

Chen Jingxing was a little surprised, he didn't expect the old man to talk about his scandal so freely in front of him, and he still talked about it in front of his daughter.

He definitely wouldn't think that he was special in the heart of the national teacher, so it can only be that the old man is now more than seventy years old, but he really does what he wants and does not exceed the rules.

"Jaguar" is the work shot by the old man after "Red Sorghum". It can be called the first anti-terrorist film in China. Hijacked by the KB organization.

Then the two sides of the strait took urgent action to this end, one dispatched an anti-hijacking commando team, and the other dispatched an anti-terrorist commando team to deal with the KB elements together, and the code name of the rescue operation was named "Jaguar".

Even if you don't look at it from the perspective of the time, looking back now, the setting of the whole story is novel enough and breakthrough enough.

It’s just that the old man was already an internationally renowned director back then, and Gong Li also won numerous international awards for "Red Sorghum". Just when he was filming "Jaguar", the old man had a car accident on Hong Kong Island, broke his leg and was admitted to the hospital , Gong Li has been taking care of her personally, so naturally she can't hide it from the paparazzi of Hong Kong Island.

Therefore, although "Jaguar" has a few groundbreaking and topical themes, when it was released, it was completely covered by the scandal between Guoshi and Gong Li.

The media from both sides of the strait and the three places basically didn't care about the movie, they were all concerned about the scandal between the director and the heroine.

It is indeed somewhat similar to today's screening of "[-]".

But the difference is that today, all of this was brought on by Chen Jingxing himself.

When he delivered his acceptance speech at the awards ceremony, he blatantly satirized Jingying. Chen Jingxing was not a rookie, so of course he knew the consequences.

On the one hand, it has real feelings, and on the other hand, it naturally has the intention of promoting "[-]".

It would be a pity not to waste such a good topic.

I don't worry about Jingying not cooperating, I'm afraid that I have hated him so much that the roots of my teeth are itchy. It's strange that the other party didn't respond when he teased him so openly.

Of course, the old man also knew that Chen Jingxing's wave was intentional, it was a marketing hype.

But from his point of view, he doesn't think there is any problem. The national teacher has seen more of the world, and has made movies for 40 years. This kind of method is nothing at all.

Not to mention that his old partner Zhang Weiping used to get more film schedules and a higher share of accounts for the release of his films, and some things he did can be described as omniscient.

So he just said a few words on the scene, comforted him, and followed Chen Jingxing into the theater.

The first screening of "500" was still held in a theater of its Blue Ocean Cinema Line. It is an IMAX theater, which can accommodate nearly [-] people, except for filmmakers like Lao Mouzi, various media reporters and In addition to film critics, there are also some fans who were lucky enough to get free tickets.

Zhang Yimou came here, and he brought his daughter Zhang Mo with him, so it's not because he and Chen Jingxing have any close friends. In fact, the two people's creative ideas and themes are quite different, and they can't be regarded as the same people.

Even if there is some appreciation, that's all.

This time I came here mainly for the upcoming gift film "Sniper". The script is still being revised, but the shooting plan has basically been finalized. Most of the scenes in this film will be directed by Zhang Mo. Lao Mouzi is also going all the way for his daughter Escort.

This is mostly the reason why I chose a small story instead of a big scene. After all, my daughter may not be able to handle the big scene.

And it just so happens that the upper part of "[-]" also seems to be a short story, not a macro scene or a big story.

After all, two trailers have been released, and it seems that the angle of view is focused on the two male protagonists from beginning to end.

Lao Mouzi also brought his daughter here with the mentality of learning from the scriptures. Movies with big scenes such as "Beacon Fire Cloud Mountain" and "King Kong River" are not of high reference value. On the contrary, "[-]" seems to be subtle Movies that start at the beginning have greater value as a learning experience.

Although Zhang Mo and Chen Jingxing are a generation behind in age, in terms of directing, Chen Jingxing is undoubtedly the forerunner, and there must be something worth learning.

Of course, it's not that the National Teacher is only now acknowledging Chen Jingxing's talent and ability, but that in the past Chen Jingxing only made sci-fi movies. To be honest, there are some things that he really can't learn.

The subject matter alone is far behind, and the style of the movie is also completely different. They are basically people on two paths.

But "[-]" is a tribute film after all, and it is unlikely that Chen Jingxing's high-concept, high-information density and brain-burning narrative structure will be used in this film.

Therefore, it has the value of learning and reference.

When the animated logo began to appear on the big screen, Lao Mouzi's nerves, which had been through the wind and rain, were faintly touched, and it was an irresistible excitement.

Although it was stated that he wanted his daughter to learn and observe, in fact, he himself was deeply curious.

Different from the minds of media reporters, Lao Mouzi's thoughts are more simple, he just wants to see what kind of tribute film Chen Jingxing, a sci-fi professional, can make.

The so-called old man, the national teacher who still maintains a strong passion for film creation, naturally cannot avoid the idea of ​​comparison and competitiveness.

Especially since he is about to make a movie dedicated to the Korean War, this kind of comparison is simply hard to suppress.

At the Golden Rooster Award Ceremony, he personally handed over the trophy to Chen Jingxing, allowing this Houlang, who was younger than his son, to equal his brilliant record.

And "[-]" seems to provide a rare platform for comparison.

After all, in the past, there was no comparison between him and this king of science fiction. Of course, he couldn't make those movies that Chen Jingxing made, and those classic movies that he made in those years won numerous awards, whether Chen Jingxing could make them or not , and will not take pictures.

No matter what the invited filmmakers, reporters, film critics, or movie fans were hiding, they all quieted down after the darkness fell, staring at the big screen in front of them seriously.

At the beginning of the film, the four characters of 5 quietly appear and disappear on the dark screen, with the small characters of May 6 above.

On a lush field, pink flowers are swaying with the breeze, and the subtle sound of pipe music fades into this tranquil oil painting scene.

That is the national flower of Chaoguo, Jindalai, which is called Yinghong Rhododendron in Huaguo, and it blooms every spring.

The warrior wearing a felt hat was sitting on the ground, leaning against a tree, squinting his eyes slightly, as if he was taking a nap.

A melancholy and lyrical mood leaps across the screen.

Lao Mouzi raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, this composition, this atmosphere, a strong tone of literary and artistic movies rushed out, completely different from the tone of other gift films.

It is also completely different from "Li Yannian". He also imagined that "[-]" and "Li Yannian" might have the same style.

The task of the superior called Zhang Ruoyun and Bai Yu, the two resting soldiers, to the headquarters.

The camera is in front of the two of them all the way, backwards, following the two soldiers through the potholed grass, through the underground tunnels being dug, through various bunkers, and through the living quarters. , entered the headquarters in a conversation about the current situation.

The sky is dark and hazy, the small ambient sound is noisy but clear, and the clothes of all the soldiers are simple and real, which makes people feel like a real documentary.

It's like an old photo from 70 years ago suddenly moved.

"interesting……"

Lao Mouzi is a master of photography and aesthetics. If other people are still getting into the plot, his brain is already spinning with excitement.

Whether it's the composition or the lens, they all caught his attention in an instant.

His "interesting" is not only composition and photography, but also this long shot.

The two fighters talked and passed one scene after another, passing other fighters who were building fortifications back and forth, after training by other companies, and greeting other fighters from time to time.

But the camera is always in front of the two, as if leading the way, whether it is a narrow bunker, a wide training ground, or entering a dark underground tunnel.

This is a very interesting long shot, which can directly give people an immersive feeling.

Whether it is the ambient sound in a natural space, the natural conversation between the two actors and the interaction with other people, the busy construction work around them, or the scene of training, as well as the hidden music sound, they are quite suitable and can be quickly Pull people into the situation.

And Lao Mouzi also allocated some energy to think about the scheduling of scenes and shots. This kind of long shot seems simple, but it is actually very difficult. Every step, even every second, what should the people appearing in the scene do? , What should be said must be exactly the same in order to be coherent.

Moreover, his astonishment became heavier and heavier, and he even sat up straight, staring intently at the screen on the big screen.

Because this long shot is so long, there is absolutely no sign of it ending.

Other directors and other filmmakers who had a similar idea with him were the most sensitive to the camera.

The daughter Zhang Mo on the side couldn't help but look at her watch, and said softly in surprise, "It's been 5 minutes..."

In order to avoid the harassment of enemy aircraft, the headquarters was set up in an underground tunnel, and only a few kerosene lamps were burning.

Under the dim light, the picture calmly narrates the plot in the interweaving of light and shadow.

In the fifth battle, the 12st Regiment of the No.91 Army was ordered to detour and intersperse to fight behind the enemy lines.

However, the No.12 Army was instructed by its superiors to organize a strategic retreat. Due to the delay in communication, the 91st Regiment, which moved a little later, was intercepted in the area of ​​​​Sanjuli by the enemy who rushed to pursue it.

Moreover, the No. 30 First Division and even the entire No. 12 Army's main force must immediately be transferred to the north under the order of the Corps Headquarters, so that only 91 people from the 900st Regiment were left alone behind the enemy.

The whole regiment has been at least 100 kilometers away from the main force.

The even worse news is that the 91st Regiment has lost contact with the [-]th Army, and there has been no radio communication for more than [-] hours.

Therefore, the Twelfth Army Command determined that there was a problem with the telephone of the 91st Regiment.

At the beginning of the war, the army's communication equipment was indeed extremely short.

When fighting in October 1950, the headquarters had only one telephone team (company-level organization) and 10 short-wave radio stations. Not only did it have poor communication with the frontline troops, but even domestic contact was intermittent.

At that time, although there were as many as 2500-3000 communication personnel including radio, cable, and manual communication personnel in various military-level units, radio stations could only be popularized to the division level.

Up to now, although the communication situation has been greatly improved, it is still stretched. The 91st regiment only has two telephones.

Although the rear has launched two factories to produce localized walkie-talkies and radios, as well as dipole antennas, it is expected that they will be fully put into production in the second half of 51, and will be fully popularized in various military-level troops in a short period of time. It even allows each company to have a telephone that can cover more than 45km.

The regiment-level organization can even have at least ten short-wave reporting phones with a communication distance of thousands of kilometers.

But now there is no rush. After all, the domestic industrial capacity is too low, and it is already a big deal to be able to start independently producing telephones and radio stations within a year after the outbreak of the war.

The lost 91st Regiment must be contacted. First of all, they must have a 7512 receiver, so that they can receive orders from the Corps Headquarters and have a greater chance of escaping from the enemy's siege and interception.

The second is to inform them of the latest battle situation and the enemy's news on the retreat route of the 91st Regiment in a timely manner.

The Twelfth Army Command has dispatched several teams, each carrying a 150w telephony transmitter, several hand-cranked telephony devices, and several walkie-talkies to be handed over to the 91st Regiment.

After all, the strategic retreat of the No.12 Army is related to the follow-up deployment of the entire campaign and cannot be changed, let alone destroy this retreat mission.

Therefore, the Twelfth Army cannot use large forces to find the 91st Regiment that has lost contact.

Once encountering the enemy, the battle between the two sides will disrupt the strategic plan of the Corps Headquarters, and this time the large outflank of retreating will be ruined.

Therefore, we can only send a small team to find the 91st regiment.

The combination of Zhang Ruoyun and Bai Yu, the scout and signal soldier, is one of the teams.

Their task is to carry the small 7512 receiver to find the 91st Regiment and hand it over to them, and inform them of the orders of the Corps Headquarters and the deployment of the enemy troops on the retreat route, so as to ensure that the 900 people can escape smoothly .

This trip is full of dangers, the headquarters informed the two of their missions this time, but of course they can choose to refuse if they accept it or not.

The two accepted the dangerous mission without much thought.

Among them, because Zhang Ruoyun's elder brother is in the 91st regiment, Zhang Ruoyun agreed faster and more actively.

But Zhang Ruoyun is a communications soldier, and he has less time to serve, so the team is still dominated by the more experienced Bai Yu.

The two people who made up the team that crossed the battlefield to search for the 91st Regiment, one was anxious and excited, and the other was calm and worried, immediately received the military order and started the preparations before departure.

The amount of plot information is not large, but the atmosphere in the theater is very strange.

At this time, Lao Mouzi's expression was so focused and excited that it was unbelievable.

Because this long shot that appeared from the beginning of the film has lasted for nearly 10 minutes!
