Chapter 510 Released

The night sky was filled with stars and bright moonlight, and cinemas across North America ushered in another peak of audience entrance this summer. Movies and audiences were talking and laughing to buy tickets, spraying a bucket of popcorn and coke, and entering the screening hall; those who came late but didn't buy tickets were very upset.

"Hehehe!" Anyway, the theater owners were smiling, "Savior of the Film Market" was coming! Also coming were Optimus Prime and Megatron.

"Fifty years later, when you think back to today, don't you regret that you didn't have the courage to get on this car?" The PG-13 science fiction action film "Transformers" with a production cost of 150 million yuan was launched in 4,011 North American cinemas. The screening hall was full of youthful passion. The handsome and deformed Bumblebee on the big screen and the hot and sexy Megan Fox all illuminated the audience. Special effects, hot, loser, beauty, defeating the big bad guy...

Despite the masterpieces like "Iron Man", it is still a big summer blockbuster with average stories and characters, but adrenaline is soaring! With crazy publicity and countless long-awaited Autobot fans, "Transformers"'s combat power is definitely not just b-.

At the same time, perhaps right next door, a chill flowed silently between the crowded audience. Most of the audiences were expressionless and nervous. They only moved when they occasionally ate popcorn. The pg-13-level science fiction thriller "I Am a Legend" with a production cost of 180 million was released in 4,015 theaters.

On the big screen is a deserted world of wasteland. The streets of Manhattan in New York are covered with weeds swaying in the wind, and the buildings on both sides are covered with dusty dilapidation. "Nevil" played by Will Smith walks on the empty streets with a rifle. The dog Sam is accompanied by the silence.

"...", "I like this feeling.", "Shh!" A theater in New York City, the audience here is particularly immersive. They started to cheer during the "blockdown shooting" incident, and the audience with middle fingers turned to give thumbs up. The best viewing experience! Some people's attitudes are quietly changing; some people are glad that Wang Yang sets the story in New York; some people can't help but whisper to praise his friends. As soon as he spoke, many viewers around him looked at him at the same time and whispered in unison. Don't quarrel! Don't pull them back from that doomsday world!

"Shh!" Natalie also shrewd seriously, her eyes never left the big screen. She didn't want to miss any details of the shot. The effect was great! Yang was correct. Only in this way can the real scene shoot bring the actors and the audience the most real and profound texture.

Since the handsome Charlie Film Company was established at the beginning of the year and directed a 20-minute short film "Eve". Preparing to participate in the Venice Film Festival next month, Natalie knew more clearly how difficult it is to be a good director. In addition to preferring that guy, she asked herself to learn more from the identity of director and producer, look at and think about things, and also better understand how crazy that guy is.

Film manufacturers all know this. Only Shen Qiyang dares to do the blockbuster such as "I Am a Legend" in the hot and exaggerated summer!

After the conventional development and changes, the audience's viewing mentality during the year is different, which affects the schedule selection of a blockbuster. It is obviously not good to not have enough popcorn during the summer vacation. A story like "I am a Legend", especially Wang Yang, who is probably not creating a simple summer blockbuster with "superhero killing zombies and saving the world", but like "The Rest of the Desert Island". It is more suitable for release in the Christmas season, because the audience's mentality was peaceful at that time. The weather, awards season and festive atmosphere would make them want to see some artworks.

A few years ago, "The Ninth District" was located in August, closest to the cool autumn, and now "I Am a Legend" is in midsummer and July. It is head-on with "Transformers".

Wang Yang is as smart as Wang Yang, but he still does this, and the Fire Movie is still arranged, so everyone vaguely knows that the guy may have done it on purpose, and he does it on purpose.

Of course he is qualified, and that's how it is. If "I Am a Legend" is under the sign of others, the audience may not be able to calm down to appreciate it. The sign is magical but completely different. To put it bluntly, even if he just shoots something and makes it a 90-minute video to be released, some people will have a lot of insights, and some people will applaud. If there is no logic, it will find logic because it was taken by Wang Yang.

But this is not the case. The images on the big screen are indeed very, very good! Kirk Honeycart, Peter Howell, Kyle Smith, Roger Albert and other film critics sighed secretly. After more than ten minutes of the film screening, the film has created a nearly perfect sense of isolation and loneliness. A post-apocalypse era picture slowly unfolds. Because of Sam's existence, the atmosphere is not too depressing. On the contrary, there is always some interesting and warm feeling.

"Hey! Good morning, Maggie. Good morning, Freid. What are you doing so early? That dress looks great, Freid, don't wrinkle it. See you inside."

On the big screen, Neville opened the door of the audio-visual store and talked to the two dolls at the door. As Sam walking in front barked, he walked into the quiet audio-visual store.

Looking at Neville's daily life bit by bit, many viewers began to understand why Wang Yang called it "open thinking". He said in an exclusive interview with the media: "You know that its entertainment will not be low, and everyone does not need to worry; it will definitely have some thoughts. I think it is open-ended. Most of the time the film will not tell you what the truth is, or even ask questions, but you will think that when you are in a specific environment, you will think. What we have to do is build a real doomsday wasteland world on the screen."

What would you do if you were the last person on Earth like Neville, and there were fierce mutants hidden everywhere in the city?

"It feels great." "Interesting." Seeing Will Smith shopping with entertainment, the audience smiled; some moviegoers also think that this is not self-entertainment, just like the volleyball "Wilson" in "The Rest of the Desert Island", it is a kind of spiritual sustenance for people under long-term loneliness and depression.

In fact, if a person does not speak or talk for many years, he may go crazy or commit suicide. Nancy, who is watching the movie, knows that Wang Yang and Will Smith have studied together. They have communicated with real prisoners of war, and thus finds the performance of a real person being with him only.

One thing you have to do is plan. For example, "clean nails" and so on. You can spend two hours cleaning your nails. This is the only way to stay rational and survive. You have to train your brain to complete the day's work, and learn to talk to yourself. If you let go of no external stimuli and get used to no one talking to you, you will lose the stimulus response. A prisoner of war said that he was sitting in the cell back then. He spent four hours trying to remember the names of some things, but he just couldn't remember them.

If the film had not been vaguely expressed through some details, ordinary audiences would not know about these sciences. Film critics could see that these details should involve "science and anti-science". This is one of the themes of the original novel "I am a Legend" and was adapted into a movie for the third time. Wang Yang seems to be finally showing it out.

As a film of the same type, it is difficult for people not to compare "I Am the Legend" with the model "Shock Change 28 Days" in recent years. If the magical Yang spent 180 million yuan to shoot a better and more shocking film than 8 million yuan production fee, not only will Yang fans be disappointed. They will definitely be mocked by Yang Hei: "It's better to just release "I Am the Last"!" But what makes Yang fans feel relieved is that it seems that there is no problem at the moment. It is worthy of being a big production and a big director! The shots, scenes, special effects, etc. it shows are not comparable to "Shock Change 28 Days", and "Shock Change 28 Weeks" and other films.

It is still unknown whether it can win in the end. A few years ago, "28 Days of Shocking Change" won the 88%/87%/82% Rotten Tomato Index. One of the reasons is that it deviates from the category of B-level films of general doomsday zombies and has made a good discussion of human nature.

The realism of the doomsday in "I Am Legend" is chilling. It is different from the rhythm and mode of similar films in the past, and Will Smith and Sam's acting skills are very skillful. The fans of the Post-Apocalypse all like it, and non-movie fans also enjoy it. In contrast to the silence of "Iron Man", "I Am Legend" seems to be a cold winter and snow that cools down. The common point between the two is... is so cool.

Continue watching Neville search for survivors again, looking for drugs to support her healing serum research, watching TV shows, the large evacuation clip flashed... Rachel completely entered that world, her eyes never blinked, and she felt that it was much better than "Iron Man".

It seems that there are really no other survivors! When I saw the warm surprise note from the owner of the apartment when I was searching for the apartment, Neville's eyes were wet, and the audience in front of the big screen felt tight. No matter what... Shenqiyang would not arrange a tragic ending, right? Evelyn has a good reason. He is not a 21-year-old guy, and his daughter is over 1 and a half years old. He doesn't want to scare the children, right? "The Ninth District" is R-level, and "I Am Legend" is PG-13. She believes it has a good ending.

But Claire doesn't think so. Fantastic Yang's movies have always been unique. He has always influenced the audience. In the past, no Oscar-Best Director trophy was shot like that. Now, holding one in one hand, what kind of "surprise" will he bring? Is "I am a legend" in the original novel?

Seeing Neville playing golf freely on the Fearless aircraft carrier, the audience felt that it was quite fun and really made fun for themselves! These details can be trivial; they can also be very interesting and impressive. Richard Ropey, Jack Matthews and other film critics nodded silently. Shenqi Yang's ability to handle literary dramas has always been very profound, not boring at all, but fascinating. When showing more of the face of doomsday life, he also paved the plot little by little and built the theme.

"Ah..." Of course, it's impossible for everyone to enjoy it. There are always people in thousands of theaters who yawn and think they will be as good as "Firefly". Who knows that only Smith is walking around, and the fans' exclusive movies? I'd known to have watched "Transformers" and what kind of shit Wang Yang has done!

However, the nervous change came immediately. Because of hunting wild deer, Sam ran into the dark and dangerous factory Curry. Neville shouted wildly and chased after him: "Sam, Sam! Sam!..."
Chapter completed!
