Chapter 127 The visual effect is shocking
In fact, while Jade was giving himself a vacation, Mai Ruibo and Jia Fei also negotiated with Bowei International about the promotion of "Face Changing".Several major cities have put up movie posters or outdoor promotional videos, and major TV networks have also broadcast promotions for "Face Changing" during prime time.Under Wu Yusen's editing, there are a total of five promotional films for "Face Changing".
The first part is naturally the part of the campus kidnapping case. The screaming of the children and the flames soaring into the sky immediately let everyone understand that this is not a casual police film.The second is the role promotional film of the villain Sean Archer. John Travolta's acting skills are really top-notch.Because the role of Sean is actually composed of two personalities. The front is the real Sean, a villain who does all kinds of evil; while the back Sean is an undercover agent after the police changed his face. , but also feel uneasy about the evil things he passively did.
The third promotional film is of course the subway bombing. Woo Yusen tried his best to show the excitement of the explosion special effects in the screen, directly making people's adrenaline soar.The fourth promotional film is naturally Castor Troy's character promotional film. Like Sean, he also has two personalities.In the front is an upright FBI agent who hates evil like hatred, and in the back, because of a face change, he becomes the ultimate boss with a kind face and an evil heart.
The last promotional video was the most jaw-dropping for the audience. A plane crashed into the World Trade Center building from the side. Through the perspective of people inside the World Trade Center building, in a panic, the subtitles gave the release time of "Face Changing".
"Hey, have you watched the last promotional video of "Face Changing"?" asked a person named "Jack the Hand" on Rotten Tomatoes, the most active movie community in North America. "My God, how did Wu come up with the idea to let the plane crash into the World Trade Center? The special effect is so good, I almost thought it was real. I also asked my friends in New York to make sure the World Trade Center is okay."
"This effect should have been thought of by Mr. Jed Sherman. You should check the credits of the movie. He is the visual effects director of this movie." Someone corrected Jack's mistake, "As for Mr. Sherman Why did you shoot this scene? Personally, I think it’s because he and New Yorkers have always looked down upon him, so I just want to overthrow the greatest pride of New Yorkers.”
In addition to people discussing visual effects in this post, there are also people asking for tickets.Because the premiere of "Face Changing" is two days earlier than the release time, and the entire North American region only has one at the AMC flagship store in Los Angeles.Many members of Rotten Tomatoes know that Galaxy Movies will draw nearly a hundred lucky members from Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB members to participate in the premiere ceremony, so they quickly show their favor on the forum, hoping to get the favor of the administrator.
"The question I'm thinking about now is, is it true that one day, our American plane will be hijacked and crashed into the World Trade Center?"
An abrupt question changed the direction of the entire post, and everyone suddenly thought of a terrible thing. The three cases involved in "Face Changing" seemed to all happen in the United States.Whether it is a campus kidnapping case, a subway bombing case, or a hijacked plane crashing into a building, Americans cannot bear the pain of life, so experts from all walks of life began to analyze the feasibility.
A person who claimed to be a retired FBI agent said in a reply: "I must say, if Mr. Wu Yusen and Mr. Jed Sherman are a criminal group, they must be the most troublesome enemies of the FBI! I have to remind everyone It is a very grim reality that the U.S. military is actually very weak in defending the U.S. mainland. Whether it is our Atlantic Fleet, Pacific Fleet, or our North American Aerospace Defense Command, we are targeting enemies outside the U.S. mainland .Since the founding of the United States, except for the early British who once ran rampant in our homeland for a period of time, the cunning Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941. Therefore, it gave us a big illusion that our homeland is It's safe. Yes, the Atlantic and Pacific are our natural barriers. To the north is our good brother - Canada; and to the south is our good follower - Mexico. Who can attack our great United States of America? But With the development of terrorism, can you guarantee that there are no terrorists in the United States? They will not create campus kidnappings or New York subway bombings? Or simply hijack a plane and directly crash into the World Trade Center? Since they can hit the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, the White House or What about Capitol Hill?"
However, these remarks have not attracted everyone's attention for the time being. After all, everyone's eyes are on the premiere of "Face Changing".Since AMC reached an agreement with Galaxy Film Entertainment Group on IMAX, the works of Galaxy Film will have their premieres in AMC's flagship theater.Especially in this "Face Changing", since several major scenes were filmed with IMAX film and made into IMAX 3D version, the IMAX theater in the flagship store of AMC Theaters is naturally the first choice.
All invited film and television reporters, film critics and lucky viewers gathered at the AMC flagship store in Los Angeles, and before entering the arena, everyone got glasses with exclusive IMAX3D reflection equipment.For general audiences, one of the impressions given by the IMAX screening hall is that it is big, but many film and drama reporters know from the official information card that the IMAX screening hall is not simple.This auditorium is an enlarged version of the IMAX auditorium, so the seating capacity of a auditorium has been expanded to 650 seats.
And what surprised film and drama reporters the most is that this screening hall has not only received full support from IMAX, but also received technical support from Dolby Laboratories.It is said that the sound effect of this auditorium has been carefully adjusted by professionals from Dolby Laboratories. More importantly, Dolby Laboratories will experiment with their unannounced 7.1-channel technology here.Therefore, the "Face Changing" that the audience will see will be a unique version in the world, because the 7.1-channel technology requires extra recording. If it weren't for Jed's eagerness to ask for favors, who would be willing to spend extra money to do this?After all, the 5.1-channel technology in this era is considered a new technology, let alone 7.1.
However, as the film began to be broadcast, everyone felt the new impact of the new technology on the film.Dolby surround 7.1-channel technology adds two more audio equipment at the back of the auditorium, and the audience can not only feel the impact of the sound in the front, but also hear the sound in the rear.Especially in the opening campus kidnapping case, a cold shot from behind made many viewers break out in a cold sweat.In order to make the film reach the PG-13 level, the campus kidnapping case did not use too many direct shots to show it at the end, but used the way of news broadcast to bring the plot.
According to the report of the news anchor, although the case was successfully rescued by the FBI, it also paid a heavy price, which caused the FBI to attract criticism from the government and the opposition.In order to investigate the inside story behind this case, the FBI decided to adopt the "face-changing" plan to lurk the enemy camp.In this episode, Wu Yusen showed many high-tech devices in the future, such as mobile phones that are becoming thinner and lighter, and mobile phones are becoming more and more intelligent, not only can be operated by voice, but also have a powerful GPS positioning function .In addition, computers with various touch screen technologies and ultra-thin portable computers, etc., all made the audience dumbfounded.When it comes to the plot of the subway bombing, this is the first time in a movie that IMAX cameras are used to shoot.Compared with the previously converted IMAX film, the field of vision here is indeed much wider, especially the explosion special effects that are more immersive.You must know that Jed is from a later age. Of course, he knows that the favorite thing about 3D special effects made by later generations is to deliberately let some fragments explode from the screen to the audience.
Sure enough, the explosion here caused many viewers to stretch out their hands to stop the non-existent debris or something.The exclamation of the audience also made film critics realize an important issue. 3D movies are not just about turning movies into 3D, but also how directors and screenwriters use 3D movies to realize the overlapping of the movie world and the real world.Many film art theorists are analyzing the difference between film and drama. Drama is to let the audience know clearly that this is a story that takes place in another world. Therefore, there is the so-called "fourth wall" theory, that is, drama works must create a barrier between the audience. .But movies are a dream, a dream that allows audiences to fully participate, so countless film directors and technical staff are showing movies in a more realistic way. It seems that 3D movies and IMAXA movies are good choices.However, some film critics regretted reading this and wrote that it seems that because their boss intervened too much, Director Wu Yusen's violent aesthetics and poetic editing could not be fully displayed.
But the audience doesn't care about this. The first kidnapping case gave them an auditory shock, while the second bombing case gave them a visual shock. The most important thing is that the terrorists planned their actions very well. Logically, there is no concept that gangsters are fools in general police movies.Comparatively speaking, in "Face Changing", the terrorists are smarter than the FBI and understand the weaknesses of American society better.Many viewers suddenly felt chilled, someday someone will blow up the subway in the United States, right?
What makes the audience even more desperate is that the big villain Sean not only returned to society with Casto's identity, but also achieved greater success in the FBI.The important thing is that Castor's wife didn't realize that this Castor was not the original Castor.Only Casto's youngest son thought this "father" was weird, but Casto's wife mistakenly thought that the youngest son felt that his father was traveling too much and felt a little strange.Compared with Casto's great success, Casto, who was disguised as Sean, found that not only was his identity exposed on the terrorist side, but more importantly, all the staff of the FBI who supported the operation were " Accident" all died.
Casto, who wanted to regain his identity, had to face the pursuit of the FBI and the gang at the same time. More importantly, Casto also got an important piece of information. Create another horror case.However, the intelligence sent by Castor did not receive any response from anyone, and his only friend also reminded him, "You are now the FBI's most wanted man-Sean Archer, and you have no place in the United States and Europe. Casto, if I were you, I would flee from Mexico to South America. Although you will lose everything, at least you are still alive. My friend, I don't want to see you die, and I don't want to see You die with a stigma on your shoulders."
At this time, Casto was also in despair. He knew that his friends could not help him much, and perhaps helping him escape to Mexico would be the best effort.But in his mind, he responded to the oath he made on the first day he joined the FBI, "I swear an oath under the flag, and I swear allegiance to the United States of America"...
