King of Special Effects

May Day holiday.

"Retrograde" officially released nationwide.

This movie is defined as a disaster movie. Some people have said that, like science fiction movies, disaster movies are also a weakness of domestic movies. Korean and American movies are better made on this subject.

This is a fact, plain and simple.

And on the first day of the release of "Retrograde", netizens' comments changed one after another,

It is said that this one can be regarded as a domestic disaster film in the true sense.

On the first day of the premiere, the box office reached 368.5535 million, and the score reached 9.4, setting a new high for Yi Yang's film.

Perhaps shooting such a movie from the perspective of a firefighter will be more recognized by the audience. Firefighters are a group that people respect.

This time, everyone in Yi Yang was busy with the preparations for "Under Deep Space", so they didn't go to the cinema to watch it. Now he didn't even bother to check the box office of the day.

However, Yi Yang didn't go, Ling Lan and Su Qi went to see "Retrograde" on the second morning when it was released.

Ling Lan hadn't watched the movie even after it was finished, so going to the movie theater this time was a treat.

Holding a large bucket of popcorn, Su Qi followed Ling Lan to find her position.

"This is a disaster movie, not a popcorn movie, can you eat it?"

"Eat it, it doesn't matter."

The two found a place to sit down, and the movie didn't start until two minutes later.

"Old Yi's current movies are one after another. Before it was war, now it is disaster, and then it is science fiction. What do you think in his mind? He has made so many movies and so many plots in succession. Can his brain cells imagine it?"

"It should be possible. If he can't imagine it, it's impossible for him to make so many movies at once. This is the seventh one, and the eighth one will start soon."

Su Qi was eating popcorn: "I admire him more and more now. Why didn't I feel that he was so powerful in college? If I were to think about these plots, even if there were scripts, I would have to think about it for several years. .”

Ling Lan looked disgusted: "You are a typical series with big breasts and no brains, rather stupid."

Su Qi looked down at her chest, and said in a low voice, "I'm not that big, why are they similar, but why can you still write novels?"

Um!

This is also a problem.

With the familiar opening sound of the movie, the feature film of "Retrograde" began.

At the beginning of the movie, there is a residential building that is smoking. There is thick smoke billowing in the corridor, and the smoke alarm makes a harsh sound. People are scrambling to run downstairs through the stairs.

On the road, the siren of the fire engine blared, and it could be heard in most of the city. Private vehicles on the road pulled over to the side of the road to let the fire engine behind pass by.

This scene was filmed from two angles in the air and on the ground, which is very visual.

Three fire trucks arrived at the community where the accident occurred, and arrived at the fire point under the guidance of security personnel.

Then there is a long shot, the character played by Jiang Xin rushes up and down the car, and starts to operate the equipment on the fire truck at the back. Each firefighter picks up the water distribution pipe and starts running forward, starting a series of fire fighting actions.

Someone formed a search and rescue team and began to go up the stairs to check whether there was anyone in each room one by one.

For the professional action shooting of these scenes, Jiang Xin trained in the fire brigade for half a year. Now watching him on the big screen, he feels like a real firefighter.

This is just a tense little scene at the beginning, and the real feature film is later.

Because the wildfire caused by the lightning strike was very strong and spread rapidly in the forest, the entire night sky was illuminated brightly at night.

From here is the beginning of the truly shocking visual effects. This kind of mountain fire is spectacular and even looks like a beautiful scenery, but under this spectacular scene, the natural fire devours everything crazily.

Forests, crops, houses and human and animal life.

There is a scene in which a bird flies over the fire area, and is scorched as it flies.

The impeccable quality of the special effects gave the forest fire a sense of visual and psychological realism. Some people even suspected that in order to film this scene, the crew really set the forest on fire.

In this play, almost every shot of fire is made with special effects.

But the special effects of the whole film can only be described in two words-realistic.

The forest is very large, and the fire is also very large. The fire is getting hotter and hotter. The local firefighting manpower is not enough, so the fire brigade where Jiang Xin works was dispatched urgently.

Then there are various firefighting shots, including a number of helicopters spraying water from the sky, ground personnel using various available fire-fighting equipment to go on stage, and some people digging isolation belts for the burning area, etc.

Different from Yi Yang's previous war films, there are only two things in this film: tension!

The firefighters in the movie were nervous, and the audience in the movie theater were also nervous. Su Qi couldn't even eat the popcorn after watching it.

What Ling Lan said is not wrong, this is really not a popcorn movie.

The script of "Retrograde" was bought by Yi Yang from Tian Jian for 250,000 yuan. The plot is a bit monotonous, but the overall visual effect makes up for this lack, making the audience very shocked and nervous. Watching the movie The characters in the film make the audience empathize with each other.

The investment cost of the whole film was only a little over 20 million, and the box office of the premiere was more than 300 million, which means that within one day, Yi Yang's income has doubled.

There are no bad movies in Yi Yang's movies, and now this "Retrograde" maintains this statement, which does not count as a bonus for Yi Yang's movies. It won the box office and also won the audience's reputation.

word of mouth.

The word-of-mouth of the movie is very important to Yi Yang.

Yi Yang is not too interested in the box office of movies now, maybe it's because he is not short of money at all, when he is alone and can do whatever he wants without lack of food and clothing, he doesn't care much about money.

As Master Ma said, he is not interested in money.

The crowd booed.

But that may be because most people don't have the wealth of Master Ma, so they feel that he is talking nonsense with his eyes closed.

When one day you have tens of billions, countless cars and houses around you, no worries about food and drink, you may find that money is really not an interesting thing.

Although Yi Yang doesn't have tens of billions now, but with his deepening of the film industry, it seems that money is really not important, the important thing is to make a good movie.

On the second day after "Retrograde" was released, Yi Yang still didn't pay much attention to the box office.

Over the past month or so, the props of "Under the Deep Space" have been almost designed, and it will take time to start customizing the model.

The other one is the actors, An Zhijie who was originally planned could not come, and after Yi Yang signed Zhang Jin, he had no choice but to recruit Zhang Yu to play another starring role.

The actors are ready. Even if there is a shortage of one or two role actors, Yi Yang can find someone to play a guest role at that time. It's not a big deal.

The plan is that within a month, "Under Deep Space" will start filming.
