Chapter 303 A sincere science fiction masterpiece
Chapter 303 A sincere science fiction masterpiece
"Mr. Evans!"
The final Easter egg scene of "Wolf Warrior" is frozen on Christian Bale, who is dressed in a suit and tie, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with an elegant and luxurious temperament, holding a wine glass and smiling slightly.
Soft light poured down from above his head, and a tall door opened behind him. Men and women, also dressed elegantly, formed a semicircle in front of him and paid him high respects.
This composition almost brings out the charm of Evans to the maximum.
And if you look more closely, you will find that the [ETO] logo badge on the other person's chest is shining.
There is almost no need for narration or subtitles. Just with this one Easter egg, Christian Bale's character Mike Evans left a very deep impression on the audience.
At the same time, this also predicts that Mike Evans will definitely be an extremely important character in the future [Galaxy Cinematic Universe]. As the movie universe expands, even Hollywood superstars will participate in it.
The movie ended completely with this imaginative scene. This time, all the audience stood up and expressed their excitement after watching the movie with warm applause.
They couldn't help but be excited. Those who could spend so much money to watch this premiere were either true science fiction movie lovers or veteran fans of the "Galaxy Cinematic Universe".
In their opinion, Wang Hao's "Wolf Warrior", as the finale of the first phase of the [Galaxy Cinematic Universe], is already perfect.
Whether in terms of storyline, special effects or actors' performances, it is one of the top domestic commercial blockbusters.
The key point is that this is a truly domestic science fiction film. Although the military battle scenes account for the majority of the film, the few mechanical exoskeleton armors alone are worth the price of the ticket.
Especially when the applause rang out and the main creative staff returned to the stage, Xie Miao, wearing the same mechanical exoskeleton props as in the movie, walked onto the stage and stood in the center, the audience became even more excited.
All the invited media reporters pointed their cameras at him. The sound of shutter buttons clicking was endless, and the flash lights made the entire stage as bright as day.
After everyone calmed down, Wang Hao, Wu Jing and others began to accept interviews from the media and questions from the audience.
However, the questions asked by these reporters were also very interesting. The first male reporter who was called asked excitedly:
"I would like to ask Director Wang, can we touch this exoskeleton armor up close?"
Wang Hao laughed out loud when he heard this, and immediately said that after the premiere, everyone could take a group photo with the exoskeleton armor.
After hearing this answer, the others didn't react, but Wu Jing and Richie Jen on the side both showed a look of relief.
Afterwards, everyone asked various questions, most of which revolved around the movie "Wolf Warrior".
For example, why are the special effects of "Wolf Warrior" so realistic? Is the technology of the villain in the movie too magical? Will Christian Bale be invited to star in the subsequent sequels? And how did Wang Hao invite Christian Bale, a big Hollywood star...
Everyone had a lot of questions like these and their enthusiasm for participation was very high. Director Wang Hao responded to all the questions he could answer and avoided the ones he could not answer with jokes.
The question-and-answer session after the premiere ended normally in a pleasant atmosphere. After the audience left, Wang Hao and other crew members, as well as the leaders, directors and actors who came to help, also participated in the premiere reception that day.
At the cocktail party, Wang Hao once again became the focus of the whole audience, but the difference from the premiere just now was that this time, most of the people surrounding him and rushing to toast him were young actors in the industry.
Among them, Wang Hao also met many young female artists with good looks, such as three of the actresses who were named as the "Four Little Flowers" of the mainland last year.
Liu Yifei was chosen because she appeared in "Taken". As for the other two, Wang Luodan probably relied on his connections in the Beijing circle, and as for Yang Mi, I don't know.
In addition, there were Yao Di, Bai Bing, Huo Siyan, and Dong Xuan, actresses who were not originally invited by the "Wolf Warrior" crew, but somehow they got a ride and entered the cocktail party together.
But this is also normal. After all, the entertainment industry is a place of fame and fortune. When Wang Hao attended a party in Hollywood, a large number of young models who were not famous paid money to attend the high-level cocktail party.
Nowadays, Wang Hao's premiere banquet is also an excellent place for some female stars to expand their network in the industry.
Even if the female stars are not interested, their agents will find ways to squeeze them in.
It’s just a pity that Wang Hao’s female companion Jing Tian was still standing next to him, which made it difficult for him to perform well.
But even with Jing Tian nearby, there were still some brave actresses who took the initiative to come forward.
For example, the actress Xiu Xian, who played Zhao Hailun in a cameo role in "Wolf Warrior", came over to greet Wang Hao very enthusiastically.
Although Jing Tian, who was sitting next to her, didn't understand the other person's Korean, just seeing Xiuxian laughing so hard made her alarm bells go off.
In addition, several young female artists with some background came over under the introduction of their bosses or agents, toasted Wang Hao with a glass of wine, and chatted with him for a few words.
For example, Wang Luodan was brought here by Zhao Baogang, and Zhao Baogang's Xinbaoyuan Film and Television Investment Co., Ltd. is one of the important partners of Xingdou Culture Brokerage Company.
There are many similar situations. The entertainment industry is so small. The fact that a premiere reception for "Wolf Warrior" can attract so many people to squeeze in is enough to prove his and Galaxy Group's current status in the industry.
In addition, with the release of "Wolf Warrior" today, anyone in the circle who has seen the movie and has a good sense of aesthetics knows very well that Wang Hao's status in the film and television industry is about to move up another level.
At least in the field of commercial films and science fiction films, the three major mainland directors in the past have been unable to overshadow Wang Hao.
Even though Zhang Guoshi may be Wang Hao's senior in terms of seniority, in terms of commercial value, Wang Hao, who owns the Galaxy Cinematic Universe, is already the undisputed number one Chinese director.
Sharing the same idea as these industry insiders were media reporters and movie lovers who watched the premiere and the midnight show that day.
It is still 2010, and capital has not yet invaded the entertainment and media industries on a large scale. Most of the reviews of movies on the Internet, especially the reviews of movies by netizens, are relatively objective.
So after 12 o'clock in the morning, a lot of posts praising "Wolf Warrior" appeared on almost all major forums on the Internet.
[He really is. I cried my eyes out. Wolf Warriors really has everything that Director Wang promised.]
[This is definitely the best domestic film this year, no objections will be accepted! ]
[Self-destructing drones, new armed helicopters, biochemical warriors, mechanical exoskeleton armor... I never thought that one day I would see these things in a domestic movie. ]
I shouldn’t have watched this movie!
Is there anyone like me? I went to watch Wolf Warriors in the middle of the night, and when I got home after watching it, I couldn’t sleep at all. As soon as I lay on the bed, my mind was full of scenes from the movie. I was so excited that I couldn’t fall asleep at all~]
[A domestic science fiction masterpiece not to be missed! ]
[8 points for special effects, 7 points for plot, 6 points for performance, 7 points for action scenes, 7 points for gun battle scenes, but I give it full marks overall because this is the only good science fiction movie in China in all these years.
Perhaps there will be more of the same kind in the future, but I am sure that this has never happened before.
Director Wang single-handedly opened the door to the Chinese science fiction film genre. He is China's George Lucas and China's James Cameron.
Anyone who is interested in this subject should give it a lot of support. Because only if Director Wang's film achieves good results and makes money, more people will devote their energy to the domestic science fiction film genre in the future. 】
[This movie will definitely leave an important mark in the history of Chinese cinema! ]
[I said that I have completely become a fan of Director Wang! ]
[Director Wang’s movie universe is becoming more and more grand, and even Hollywood superstars are joining Director Wang’s movies.
But Director Wang, you are digging more and more holes. Some of the Easter eggs in the previous movies have not been finished yet! 】
[Ah, after reading the reviews, I really regret not getting the tickets. Now all the tickets in the cinema are sold out. They said you have to wait for a week. I'm crying! ]
[For the person above, I recommend you to use Taopiao.com to buy tickets. I bought a ticket for Wolf Warriors on Taopiao.com and can even choose seats online.]
[I also used Tao Piao.com to grab the movie tickets for Wolf Warrior. The website is really easy to use. Besides, you can only comment on the website forum after watching the movie. The scoring system is also very objective...]
After personally sending the tipsy Jing Tian home, Wang Hao, who didn't want to stay overnight at her home, waited until nearly dawn when he got home. He was awake and saw this ridiculous post on the Internet.
He is very satisfied that Tao Piao.com was able to take advantage of the release of "Wolf Warrior" to expand its influence to Shangjing.
After all, in order to support Liu Yong's Tao Piao.com, Wang Hao not only used his connections to help him connect with Moying and Wanda, but also provided a lot of help in Shangjing.
For example, in the case of "Wolf Warriors", Galaxy Pictures negotiated with the cinema chain and allowed Tao Piao.com to directly take a portion of the movie tickets through advance underwriting, thus creating a good reputation in the north.
Of course, Tao Piao.com also took advantage of the popularity of Wolf Warrior. Even without it, Wang Hao's movie would still sell well.
Especially after the box office result of 210 million at the midnight show on the first day came out, everyone at Galaxy Pictures became more confident about the film.
After all, the fact that so many people went to watch "Wolf Warrior" in the early morning is enough to show the popularity of this movie.
At this time, Jing Tian also sent him a message.
[Jing Tian: Brother Hao, are you home yet? ]
【Wang Hao: Yes, I just got home not long ago. 】
[Jing Tian: Haven’t slept yet? Brother Hao must have worked hard today (covering his mouth and laughing).]
【Wang Hao: Fortunately, I just received the report from the cinema.】
[Jing Tian: Ah, the results of tonight's movie have come out? It must be very good, after all, our brother Hao is an internationally renowned director (smiley face, smiley face).]
[Wang Hao: Thanks for your good wishes. Tonight’s box office performance is indeed pretty good. Okay, I’m going to take a shower. I have a road show to do tomorrow.]
[Jing Tian: Yeah, Brother Hao, don’t work too hard. Wolf Warrior will definitely be a big hit. Good night! ]
Not to mention whether Jing Tian was still waiting for Wang Hao's reply after he took a shower, as the fans who watched the movie that night left the cinema, the reputation of "Wolf Warrior" was rapidly fermenting.
The posts Wang Hao saw that night were just the tip of the iceberg.
As a passionate science fiction film with a war theme, "Wolf Warrior" has not lost much of its luster without the emotional scenes. Instead, its appeal has been deepened.
The thrilling gunfight scenes and the deep comradeship in the movie made the audience who had just finished watching the movie feel as if there was a flame burning in their hearts, and they couldn't help but express themselves.
The rapidly increasing positive reviews and the good reputation of Wang Hao and Galaxy Cinematic Universe attracted more viewers who were still on the sidelines to buy tickets.
By the end of the premiere day, the box office of the movie "Wolf Warrior" had exceeded 4000 million, and then exceeded 5000 million the next day, and it is still on an upward trend.
Movie theaters are almost always packed, and watching the movie "Wolf Warrior" has even become a must-do activity for families during the National Day holiday.
As the movie became a hit, more news media and film critics watched Wolf Warrior, and there were more reviews about the movie online.
And compared to the casual comments of netizens after watching the movie, the articles written by professionals are also more in-depth.
[《A Sci-Fi Blockbuster Full of Sincerity》
To be honest, before this, I rarely watched domestic films, especially Chinese science fiction films.
Because in my opinion, those domestic directors have no science and engineering thinking at all, and they may not even understand what science fiction is. How can they make good science fiction films?
So those so-called domestic science fiction films, such as "Robot" and "Future Police" released a few months ago, I know without watching them that they are nothing more than a trick of selling dog meat under the guise of sheep meat.
Do you think that just adding some robot elements to the movie and using some cheap special effects can pass as a science fiction film?
It’s not that simple!
Science fiction movies are never simply a pile of special effects, nor are they some black technology. The most important thing is the scientific thinking that runs through the entire movie.
On this point, the young director Wang Hao did a good job.
At least in his past films, I have seen his respect and research for science, as well as his focus and sincerity on film.
This shows that he put a lot of effort into the script planning in the early stages of the film and checked the information carefully.
Especially for "Wolf Warrior", the latest work directed by Wang Hao, according to the material information released by the film company and various behind-the-scenes footage, at the beginning of the project and when the script was being written, the production team invited weapons design experts from military academies to join the creative team.
Obviously, when I went to see a movie yesterday afternoon, the weapons and equipment in the film that were obviously more advanced than our army's current equipment were the work of these experts.
In addition to these military weapons experts, the "Wolf Warrior" team is said to have more than a dozen expert professors in mechanics, dynamics, physics, biology, etc. from the National Academy of Sciences, and even academicians to serve as technical guides and consultants for the film.
In this regard, Director Wang Hao is worthy of being a young man and is already ahead of many domestic directors.
It is also because of this that we can see those almost realistic and extremely feasible mechanical exoskeleton armors in "Wolf Warrior".
This is indeed a huge surprise for me.
When the armor came out, I admit that I was deeply fascinated. It was a mechanical creation completely different from the Hollywood style. It also made me realize for the first time that we also have our own science fiction movies.
Just from this point of view, I can't say a bad word about "Wolf Warrior". I even want to watch the movie "Wolf Warrior" again, if for no other reason, just to support the work of director Wang Hao.
At the same time, I am looking forward to Director Wang's next movie. Now that "Wolf Warrior" has been released, Director Wang, don't be busy promoting it. We will take care of it. Just start shooting your new movie! 】
