281. The effect of turning a science fiction film into a domestic horror film

Feng Gang, general manager of Theory of Relativity Film and Television, "To be honest, if I hadn't seen the finished film, I would never have imagined that this is actually the same film. It's amazing!"

Zhang Xiaomou, deputy general manager of Universal Pictures under Huanyu, "I have seen the original version of "Kidnapping", which is also "Speed ​​Rescue". To be honest, these are two completely different movies. Although many scenes in the movie are familiar, the plot, rhythm, etc. are completely different, this is the real movie, if he (Fang Xiang) brought this version back then, how could we refuse to release it?"

Chen Kai, a senior film reviewer, "A lot of scenes in "Speed ​​Rescue", probably half of them, have been seen in "Kidnapping". To be honest, this is really amazing. , after that, this movie can be regarded as a real completion, which is not the same!"

A series of people who watched "Kidnapping", the predecessor of "Extreme Rescue", were amazed.

What? Are you not a competitor? Why are you still helping with publicity?

In fact, where is the eternal opponent in business matters? There are only eternal interests, and large companies also cooperate and compete in parallel.

It's just to say something, and there is no need to do anything, not to mention that they don't have a new movie released at the same time, and Wang Yifan actually has this kind of ability, which in itself is worthy of their favor, isn't it?

When the second week of "Extreme Rescue" opened, it also ushered in a strong enemy. The sci-fi film "Unreal Game" directed by Wang Yue, invested by Shengtang Kyushu, held a grand premiere ceremony.

Wang Yifan also received the invitation. Before, Wang Yue came to join him, so he naturally wanted to reciprocate.

Although everyone is a competitor, after all, human relations and face issues must also be considered.

Therefore, both Wang Yifan and Chen Hanming came to join in the show.

"I didn't expect that what I said at the beginning was really a prophecy. Now we are sincere opponents." Wang Yue said with a wry smile.

"It can't be compared, it can't be compared. "Extreme Rescue" is just an accidental product. Compared with "Unreal Game", it is still much worse." What about Wang Yue?

Although Wang Yifan has never watched "Unreal Game", but to be honest, he is not too optimistic about it.

It's not that Wang Yue's ability is underestimated, but that the promotion of "Unreal Game" is actually focused on special effects, what are you kidding?

A film like "Unreal Game" with an investment of over 100 million is indeed not a small production, but when it comes to special effects, and Chen Dahua joins in, Chen Dahua's salary is not low, so how much money can Wang Yue spend to make a movie? Special effects?

Tens of millions of dollars were spent on special effects, but how awesome are the special effects?

Wang Yifan felt that the cost of "Too Deep into the Drama" was a bit high, but in fact, there were really not many special effects shots, not because he didn't want to, but because it was too expensive.

Even if those special effects are off-the-shelf technologies, the cost is still not low.

Special effects are machine-eating, labor-intensive, and time-consuming. How long did it take "Unreal Game" from beginning to end? With such a quick time, do you really think that the special effects are just a gashapon machine, which can come out with just a twist?

And there is another point, Huaguo's current highest-grossing movie is a sci-fi movie, but similarly, it hits the street the most, and the big money-losers are usually special effects movies.

For no other reason, you spent all your money on special effects, can you not burn it?

To be honest, Wang Yifan was a little surprised by "Speed ​​Rescue". After all, this movie does not involve any fighting scenes. The reason why the cost is so high is entirely due to Fang Xiang's inexperience.

But it turns out that the audience in Huaguo is actually the most satisfying audience in the world. As long as a story is told well, they will buy it.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that there are no good movies released in the same period, so there are not many movies for the audience to choose from.

However, after the opening of the movie, Wang Yifan was a little surprised that some of the settings of this movie were actually similar to his own "Too Deep into the Drama".

how to say? The plot of "Unreal Game" is actually not a big problem, but the setting is a bit surprising to Wang Yifan. The timeline in the movie takes place in the future world, which is no problem.

But it's only 2020.

The actor played by Chen Dahua in "Unreal Game" is a very successful businessman, inventor, and scientist. He invented a naked-eye VR virtual system named "Huadie".

It's just that in the process of trying out this system for her daughter, she accidentally let her fall to her death.

So he developed "post-traumatic disorder", which is the legendary PTSD.

After experiencing the pain of bereavement, the hero decides to stay away from the hustle and bustle and stay with intelligent robots all day long. Suddenly one day, a young and coquettish woman came to his door and gave him a video of his wife cheating on his partner's brother. She put on a cuckold for herself. In grief and anger, Chen Dahua went to a nightclub to drink and get drunk. Met that woman, and that woman seduced her a bit, and the two had sex.

And when he went out to have a meal, he found that the woman had been killed and the body was in his trunk. He was wanted by the whole country. Let him be inexplicably reduced to a "murder fugitive", and step by step fall into the trap set by the mastermind behind the scenes. In order to prove his innocence, he regained the "Butterfly Transformation System" and teamed up with his lover and mechanical enthusiasts to track down the real culprit.

At this point in the movie, although the character settings, images, backgrounds, etc. inside are a bit... strange, but there is nothing wrong with it. The story does follow the suspenseful reasoning that Wang Yue is good at.

Although the betrayal of his wife and brother in the movie, as well as the sudden appearance of a woman, all feel sudden, but this is suspense, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Then, he began to rewrite the program of the "Butterfly Transformation System", but when the program was completed, his apprentice suddenly attacked, and a big battle broke out.

To be honest, Wang Yifan looked confused, he didn't quite understand, yes, it's okay for you to set up suspense, but the problem lies in logic!

In fact, from the opening scene, Wang Yifan was a little confused. Wang Yue is also the director of two feature films, and "You Are My Eye" can be regarded as a good suspense film.

But in this movie, Wang Yifan was a little depressed at the beginning. The daughter fell to her death because of her husband's scientific and technological achievements, and her husband couldn't get out, so he proposed to separate, but she didn't have much fluctuation. Doesn't the mother suffer when the daughter dies?

It's one, two, special effects, special effects, special effects!

In the front part, there is actually no problem with the special effects, but the problem lies in the back, the special effects of the duel designed by Wang Yue through the butterfly system, it is simply... hot eyes!

In fact, many audience members in the movie theater are also staring wide-eyed at this moment. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not shock, well, it’s shock. It's actually this kind of... King of Thunder and Lightning?

Although most sci-fi movies, in fact, the logic is hard to say is perfect.

But the most basic logic is still necessary, at least to justify itself.

Yes, Wang Yue did justify himself in the subsequent plots, but Wang Yifan has a sense of seeing all kinds of monsters and ghosts in domestic horror movies at the beginning, but suddenly there is a big reversal in the end, all of which are fake. !

The point is, it’s okay for a small-budget horror movie to do this, but you, a movie with an investment of over 100 million yuan, actually do it like this?
