Chapter 237: The Space Elevator That Shocks People's Hearts
"Here it comes, the Sea Fortress is about to start playing!"
In a certain cinema's screening room, not long after the audience found their seats, the surrounding lights quickly dimmed and a roar of sound was heard.
The logo of China Television Pictures appeared on the big screen, startling everyone and making them sit back in their seats.
“A lot of people came to the first game.”
In the front row of the screening room, several young college students turned around in surprise and looked at the almost full seats.
Generally speaking.
Basically no one will buy the positions at the farthest upper left and upper right corners.
But now even these two seats are full of people, which is enough to show everyone's expectations for science fiction movies.
"With so much publicity, it's hard not to know."
“And the first screening is during prime time.”
"Fortunately we came early, otherwise we wouldn't be able to buy tickets."
"I don't know what the situation is like on Wandering Earth."
"Never mind, let's finish watching this movie first."
"Shh! It's about to begin!"
During the conversation, several college students shut their mouths and stared at the screen while holding popcorn.
The others also gradually fell silent and watched the movie attentively.
After the on-screen production company was announced, the show finally entered the plot, and a scene of outer space came into view.
【This is the evening news.】
[The super energy substance brought back by the spacecraft was officially named "Xian Teng". ]
[In just a few years, Immortal Vine has basically replaced traditional energy sources such as oil and coal...]
At the beginning.
This is the most common narration.
For these film and television fans, they have long been accustomed to it.
Instead, it was the outer space and the earth as the background that made their eyes light up.
This opening seems to be pretty good.
The people who were originally leaning back in their seats now sat up straight and gradually immersed themselves in the scenes of the movie.
But it was less than five minutes.
The plot switched to the protagonist's perspective. When he flew a fighter plane to destroy the enemies from outer space, many people suddenly frowned.
"Why do I feel like... the dubbing and lip movements don't match?"
"It's not a feeling, none of them match up!"
"Isn't this fighter plane too casually driven? It's like driving a rocking car."
"Hiss! Is this conversation serious?"
"Faced with so many enemies attacking, he didn't feel nervous at all and was even chatting about family matters..."
The audience gasped and subconsciously took out their movie tickets to check. It was indeed "Fortress at Sea".
The originally silent screening room was also filled with various whispers, expressing their doubts.
The protagonist's appearance is to control fighter jets with several teammates to annihilate enemies in outer space.
The movie says it at the beginning.
Because of the exposure of the new energy source, the Earth was attacked by enemies from outer space and suffered heavy losses, with the ground almost falling.
This should have been a very serious scene, but the emotionless and soft conversation between the few people created a serious sense of disconnection.
Coupled with their stiff facial expressions, they looked just like a few people playing games on a rocking car, without any sense of tension at all.
If you don’t know, you might think it’s a game of whack-a-mole.
It's like a joke.
"That's it?"
Several college students sitting in the front row looked disappointed, feeling that their IQ had been insulted.
But thinking that maybe it was just the beginning that was not good, I endured the embarrassment of picking my feet and continued watching.
The more I watched, the more awkward it became.
Let’s not talk about the minor problems like lip syncing, poor lines, stiff acting, confusing shots, substandard emotions...
The plot alone was enough to strike them like lightning.
Damn it.
At the most critical moment, the protagonist was actually thinking about falling in love!
That's right.
Just fall in love!
The whole process was all about fighting - talking about feelings - fighting again - talking about feelings - carrying out the mission - talking about feelings...
The plot is hollow and boring.
It also gives people a feeling of trying to do both but not doing anything well.
You say it's a science fiction film, but almost half of it is love stories, and they are unrequited love stories with no interaction.
You say it's a romance film, and the special effects are well done, but because the emotional scenes take up too much of the film, almost the entire scene is filled with aerial firefights.
Especially at the end when the protagonist died heroically, the soft and powerless cry of "Fire at me" made them feel like ants were crawling all over their bodies and gave them goose bumps.
Wait until you finish watching the entire film.
Several college students wanted to give themselves a slap in the face.
There are so many things to watch, but why do you have to watch this movie? Aren't you just asking for trouble?
"Fuck, who the hell told me this movie was good?"
"I spent over a hundred dollars and you show me this?"
"You dare to say that you can open the door to domestic science fiction? You might as well just weld it shut!"
After the movie was over, a few angry guys nearby stood up and swore, and tore the movie tickets in half.
Seeing this, the others also left the scene and talked in low voices.
They all look unwell.
Because the movie-watching experience is really bad!
It was so bad that they didn't even know how to describe it.
It was like someone had stuffed a piece of shit into my mouth. I felt uncomfortable all over and was extremely disappointed.
Some who couldn't find a place to vent their anger posted their viewing experiences on major websites, cursing fiercely.
[I declare that I am SB! ]
[Seeking a pair of eyes that have not seen the Sea Fortress! ]
[I’m CNMLGB! I’ve wasted over a hundred bucks of my money by bragging so much! I still have two hours of my youth!]
[It's really too explosive. I have never seen such a perfunctory movie. Apart from the barely acceptable special effects, there is nothing else good about it! ]
[None of the actors' lip syncing matched, is this money laundering? ]
[Please, don't make all your movies about love, okay? Will I die if I don't fall in love? ]
Less than half an hour after the first screening ended, a large number of comments emerged across the Internet.
Especially those film review websites, which were overwhelmed by the first audiences. The comment section under the movie was full of curses, which scared other netizens who had not seen the movie yet.
If you don’t know, you might think that China Television Films has done something that is extremely unpopular.
These viewers originally had issues with the pricing of over 100 yuan , and now with this happening, their dissatisfaction has finally erupted completely, and they are not going to tolerate China Television at all.
certainly.
Many fans of the leading actors also came out to defend them.
For example, "He has worked very hard", "Is acting really that important?", "You are just jealous of his talent", "He even injured his fingers during the filming"...
After the last fan incident, fans of major celebrities have become much more restrained.
But even so, there are still many fans who jumped out to defend their idols and accused these netizens of malicious smearing.
The result is predictable.
The disgusted netizens did not tolerate them and directly criticized them back. Their criticism was very harsh and well-reasoned.
Moreover, as the number of broadcasts of Sea Fortress increased, the number of people who attacked the show grew rapidly.
The film's ratings on major film review websites continued to decline, falling below 5 points on the same day.
All major film and television companies were in an uproar.
The top management of China Television Pictures was also alarmed and hurriedly issued a statement to save the situation.
However, he was unable to withstand the impact of the general public opinion, and was soon forced to delete the post.
again.
They realized the audience's high standards for science fiction themes.
It is obviously impossible to use the previous methods and just put on a sci-fi skin to fool people.
China Television Pictures is a lesson for them!
…
And at this time.
The audience who had just watched Fortress at Sea were also extremely disappointed with domestic science fiction, and their patience was exhausted by repeated deceptions.
"Let's go, science fiction is hopeless."
"It's really disappointing. I thought we could finally see the rise of the national science department."
"Aren't you going to watch The Wandering Earth?"
"Forget it, I might as well go home and have a good sleep."
"Don't hold out hope. It's a wasted trip."
When the audience heard about The Wandering Earth, they hesitated.
After all, with the first part as a foundation, it won’t go any further no matter how hard you try.
But unfortunately, their experience was extremely bad, and the special effects team for the second film was replaced, so they finally gave up the plan and walked out of the theater.
But unexpectedly.
When passing by a screening room with its door closed.
There was a sudden uproar from inside.
The horrifying sound waves spread outside through the crack in the door. Even through a door, one could feel the lively atmosphere inside, and even a lot of exclamations.
"What's going on? Did something happen in there?"
Several teams nearby were startled and cast curious glances.
I saw the video being played above the door.
The Wandering Earth 2
"The Wandering Earth?"
"Is this movie playing here?"
"It sounds so lively."
"It doesn't look like a cold scene."
"Something's wrong. Why does it seem like someone is crying?"
“Is this movie good?”
Everyone outside the door looked at each other in bewilderment. This kind of situation rarely occurs in a movie theater.
The sound seemed to be almost transmitted through the soundproof wall to the outside, and it was filled with excitement, as if they had seen something incredible.
But before she could scream for long, bursts of crying began to be heard again, which could be heard clearly through the crack in the door.
This made them curious about what kind of movie could cause such a big response and make people cry and scream.
"How about... we go and take a look too?"
One of them swallowed and said hesitantly.
The remaining few people looked at each other, listened to the noise coming from inside, finally nodded heavily, and went straight to the ticket area.
After a while, he disappeared into the long corridor.
at the same time.
In a screening room where "The Wandering Earth 2" was playing, almost half of the people stood up from their seats, but no one spoke out to stop them.
Because they were shocked by the scene before them.
On the screen, there was a space elevator track towering into the clouds.
There are advanced equipment and buildings everywhere, which looks very technological.
【Five...four...three...two...one...】
【emission!】
With a loud "boom", raging flames suddenly gushed out from under the elevator, and the entire ground base was filled with white smoke.
Accompanied by a burst of passionate electric guitar and Dolby sound effects, the space elevator soared into the sky and rose high into the sky along the track.
Finally, it crosses the clouds, passes through the atmosphere, and enters the dark space.
The video, which lasts just over a minute, fully demonstrates the charm of technology.
When the elevator reached the highest point and the audience saw the space station on top that looked like a cosmic monster, they were shocked and their eyes widened.
"Fuck! What is this??"
"What an awesome space elevator!"
"This special effect is simply explosive!!"
“This scene is so cool!”
“It gives me goose bumps!”
"This special effect is absolutely world-class!"
"It's up! Domestic science fiction is finally up!"
"Wow, wow, wow... I'm so moved that I'm about to cry!"
“Chinese science fiction is awesome!”
The incomparable visual expression brought them a double impact of vision and hearing, and they shouted excitedly.
Some people even had flushed faces and tears in their eyes.
Before I knew it, my collar was wet and I couldn't express my feelings at the moment in words.
The shock brought by this movie has far exceeded everyone's imagination.
Especially when I saw the last scene, looking down at the entire space station and the earth from above from the perspective of space, my head was blown off and I was shaking with excitement.
After so many years of ridicule and oppression.
Domestic science fiction.
Finally stood up!
