Chapter 106 Preview
China's first film that combines elements of action, suspense, thriller, science fiction, etc.!
If this kind of slogan were used in later generations, it would definitely be a terrible movie.
But nowadays...
"Fatal Call"?
This name is quite interesting.
In thousands of households, viewers who were watching movie channels had this thought almost at the same time when they saw the trailer suddenly pop up.
You have to know that over the years, starting with Zhang Yimou's "Hero", Chinese films can be said to have officially ushered in the so-called blockbuster era.
However, if we count these movies carefully, most of them are costume themes and comedies. Perhaps the only unique one is "Kung Fu" filmed by Stephen Chow last year.
But there is not a single Chinese film with a science fiction theme.
Although audiences are not yet aesthetically fatigued by costume blockbusters, they still have an inexplicable sense of novelty when it comes to science fiction movies.
At this time, the trailer on TV has officially started.
After the title flashed, a man standing on a busy street and answering the phone appeared on the screen.
That was Xu Zheng, dressed in a suit and tie, looking like a financial elite.
The camera gave a close-up of the strange-looking phone in his hand, and Xu Zheng's voice also sounded at the right time.
"who are you?"
The screen went black, and when it came back on, he had changed from the financial elite to a man fleeing in an alley.
At the same time, angry questions were raised again.
"What on earth do you want to do?"
Then the camera shot turned again, this time Xu Zheng was holding the bloody Fan Binbin, kneeling on the street, surrounded by the sirens of police cars, and a large number of police, reporters and onlookers.
"I won't let you go!"
"Then try to find me. I am watching you from a place you can never see."
The main feature of the trailer ends here, and the next second screenshots of several leading actors begin to flash quickly, with their names printed on them.
Xu Zheng! Yu Feihong! Fan Binbin! Shu Chang...
A passionate masterpiece! A stunning presentation! Stay tuned!
This Spring Festival will give you excitement for the whole year!
The trailer is very short, but the tense and suspenseful atmosphere is extremely strong, which can be said to have aroused the curiosity of the audience.
However, apart from the suspense itself, the footage in this trailer does not reveal much key information.
What is the most important science fiction element? Is that it? Isn't this a normal urban action movie?
The audience's hearts were full of doubts.
When the second trailer of "Fatal Call" was released a few days later, the audience's doubts were partially answered, but more doubts arose.
The trailer begins with Xu Zheng standing on the street in Lujiazui answering a phone call.
Suddenly, a loud gunshot rang out and the camera switched. The man standing in front of him had blood splattered on his chest and fell straight into a pool of blood.
Xu Zheng was covered in blood and stared blankly at the corpse in front of him.
The next second the camera switched quickly. No matter whether Xu Zheng was running in the alley or hiding in the house, there would always be gunshots in the picture, and then there would be flying stones, shattering glass, or people falling down around him.
But when he pushed open a door with force, he saw only a sniper rifle quietly placed on the windowsill in the room.
"Invisible maniac?!"
Six big words appeared on the TV screen.
"There is a sniper trying to kill me!" Xu Zheng knelt on the street, raised his hands high, and shouted at the police around him at the top of his lungs.
However, the law enforcement officers turned a deaf ear and rushed over to pin him to the ground.
"Is it true? Is it an illusion?"
Once again, the four-word slogan takes the entire film’s storyline into another direction.
Finally, the figures surrounding Xu Zheng faded away one by one, leaving him alone kneeling on the street. Finally, the whole picture collapsed and the title of "Fatal Call" appeared on the screen.
“This winter is like a dream!
This is another blockbuster work by rookie director Wang Hao following Buried and The Shallows. Please stay tuned! "
"Buried Alive"?!
The Shallows?!
Many viewers who had watched these two movies on the movie channel not long ago suddenly understood what was going on and developed a strong interest in them.
It turns out to be a new movie shot by the director of those two movies. This is very interesting.
I see. This must be the same discussion. The male protagonist must also be wearing that helmet and dreaming.
There were some smart people among the audience, and they quickly came up with a reasonable guess about the plot of the movie.
However, this did not diminish their interest. After all, to be honest, this trailer really amazed them, and made those who saw it eager to try it out, and their hearts were filled with excitement.
At the same time, when the trailer and related interviews appeared on movie channels and major newspapers and magazines, the publicity and promotion team formed by Galaxy Interactive Entertainment was also leading the online water army to stir up trouble on the Internet in 05.
The name of "Fatal Call" appeared in bulletin boards, forums, blogs, chat rooms, and major websites, as long as it was a place where people could type and leave messages, and it continued to spread outward like a virus.
"I recommend a Chinese sci-fi action film that will be released soon - "Fatal Call". It is a Chinese sci-fi film that you should not miss."
"'Fatal Call' will be released during the Lunar New Year holiday. I'm really looking forward to it!"
"This movie dares to compete with Li Lianjie's "Huo Yuanjia". Are today's young directors so arrogant? Young people should calm down. This world does not belong to you yet!"
"Xu Zheng is also making a movie. My favorite of his is 'The Legend of the White Snake'. Is he and Xiao Longnu making a movie together this time?"
……
All kinds of news, whether true or false, praising, questioning, neutral, or black, are spreading rapidly on the Internet, which is dazzling, but together they create a scene of enthusiasm.
Whether those netizens like it or not, they all remember the name "Fatal Call", and most of them naturally joined in the discussion.
"First!"
"What movie is that guy talking about???"
"The idiot upstairs, the inspection is complete."
"I've seen the trailer for this movie on the movie channel. It seems pretty good. It's about a male protagonist who is on the phone and is threatened by a sniper."
"Why isn't the person on the other end of the phone the protagonist? The trailer could be a hoax, maybe the protagonist is actually the killer!"
"It's possible. Top killers never do it themselves. Maybe the person who answered the phone took hallucinogens, and the killer called just to stimulate him so that the law enforcers could kill him."
"What is Guoguo saying upstairs? I don't understand what he is saying, but he looks amazing."
"Fuck, same idea +1, the killer is just to provoke that person, and then the law enforcer can kill him naturally."
"By the way, has no one noticed the background of the story? It seems to be filmed in our great city of magic!"
