Chapter 518 Fully upgraded "The Wandering Earth"

"grandfather!!"

Zhao Jinmai knelt on the ice and screamed heartbreakingly.

Liu Qi, played by Bai Yu, got into a fight with the captain of the CN171-11 rescue team. Both parties fell on the ice. The sound of crying and quarreling darkened the atmosphere of the entire theater.

Guan Hu looked at the scene on the big screen expressionlessly, but nodded secretly in his heart. From the beginning to the present, the emotions of "The Wandering Earth" have always followed the rhythm of ups and downs, which can be said to be relaxed and relaxed.

This plot was thrilling one moment, and the next moment an important character received a lunch box. The tragic atmosphere after the tense plot ended was well rendered.

Guo Fan, a director who is one step younger than himself, has really reached the point where he can take things lightly.

Guan Hu has been busy with "Eight Hundred Revelation" for the past two years. This is also his first time to helm an industrial blockbuster of this level, so he knows how difficult it is to make such a commercial blockbuster.

Guan Hu, who was running through these thoughts in his mind, suddenly opened his eyes wide.

There were also screams of surprise from all around.

There was also the CN171-11 team. On the way to dragging Flint to Hangzhou, one member froze to death because the battery of his protective suit was insufficient. Because "Flint" had to keep the battery fully charged at all times, he used the battery of his protective suit to "

Charging the "Flint" to keep the "Flint" functioning normally.

This movie is like Guo Fan's child. Obviously Guo Fan himself is very proud of the appearance of his child, and the audience's reaction also gave him a greater sense of satisfaction.

The three lines proceed simultaneously and sometimes intersect, with the father-son relationship between the male protagonist and his father, the family relationship between the female protagonist looking for her parents' remains and the friendship between her comrades as the main clues, all converging into the same point.

There is also the issue of actors' acting skills. Objectively speaking, the performances of most of the actors in the original version are not worthy of the story of the movie itself. Coupled with the abrupt dubbing, many characters, from the protagonist to the supporting role, did not reflect the performance that should be expected at the movie level.

level, and even has a strong sense of dissonance.

There is also the reason why Han Duoduo, played by Zhao Jinmai, strongly wants to go to the ground in the original version - "I want to see the outside world". This makes this character flat, unlikable, and even a bit like a pampered responsible person.

An important reason for the little girl getting into trouble.

As the rescue team cleared the surrounding white snow, accompanied by the sudden rise of music, a horrifying scene appeared on the camera.

Not only did the previous paragraph show numerous drowned and frozen corpses under the ice.

Guan Hu couldn't help but admire in his heart, from the perspective of a director.

The plot of a few minutes begins with the thrill and excitement of a "last-minute rescue" style, then tragedy and sacrifice, followed by horror and the heaviness and shock after the horror. The audience's emotions are like a roller coaster and are led forward by the movie.

This character is thin and becomes a childish dragster.

Han Duoduo touched the ice in horror, and then tears fell into her helmet, splashing water.

The pleasure of a director is to taste the various reactions of the audience when his film is screened. This is the pleasure of manipulating other people's emotions.

The camera gradually sinks into the ice, and the people frozen under the ice seem to come to life. Time instantly returns to before the earth froze. Drowning people try to come up to breathe, desperate parents lift their children, and people on the verge of death stop struggling and drift with the tide...

…

Otherwise, all living people are in the underground city. If you don't wear protective clothing outside, it won't be suitable for living creatures to survive. Who is the purpose of being fully armed?

This can also explain why the protagonist and his party met Li Yiyi, who was an emergency technical observer of the coalition government and finally came up with the "Ignite Jupiter Plan" on the way. Li Yiyi strongly resisted and did not hesitate to point a gun at them.

Then she saw countless struggling corpses under the ice next to the building, but she couldn't tell which ones were her parents, which made this character instantly empathetic to the audience.

Yes, this should be the case after the earth stopped spinning and a huge tsunami flooded the Magic City, but there were still people who did not enter the underground city, or those who could not be accommodated in the underground city.

However, in this aspect, some of the shortcomings in the plot and characterization of "The Wandering Earth" have been made up for, and the duration has reached two and a half hours.

The large number of deletions also made the flow of the plot and character arcs a bit thin and flat.

"Dad, Mom, I'm here...but which one of you is..."

When Bai Yu was pinned down on the ice by the captain of the rescue team, he inadvertently pushed aside the thick white snow with his hands through the protective clothing, and a human face was revealed and looked at him!

After the "Flint" was damaged, he would be so angry and furious that he would yell at his team members: "My wife and children all died in vain!"

There is nothing we can do about this. Competition during the Spring Festival is too fierce, and a two-and-a-half-hour movie is at a huge disadvantage in theater scheduling compared to a movie that is less than two hours long.

Both Guo Fan and Chen Jingxing were deeply involved in the creation of the movie script for "The Wandering Earth", and Guo Fan also took the helm of the entire film from preparation to filming to post-production.

Of course, because of this, the film has also changed from the original two-line narrative to a three-line narrative.

Of course, this is also related to the large number of cuts made in the original film. The original length of nearly two hours and forty minutes was cut to two hours. There was a consideration of streamlining redundant plots, but it was mainly for the purpose of scheduling the film.

In this version of "The Wandering Earth", Han Duoduo's parents were added to the "victim" scene - two of the 3.5 billion people who did not enter the dungeon.

The special effects level of the original film is indeed a breakthrough among domestic films, but many of the special effects shots do have a strong sense of CG and animation, especially the light transmission and reflection processing of the helmet, which appear too "clean" and thus a bit fake.

In addition, many other contents have been changed.

The movie repeatedly mentions the 3.5 billion people who were sacrificed because they were not qualified to enter the dungeon by drawing lots.

These people wearing ordinary clothes had different expressions and movements and were frozen under the ice, as if they were insects sealed in amber.

The reason why Han Duoduo strongly wants to go to the ground is to find the bodies of her parents, not to "see the outside world" in a childish way.

And Wang Lei, captain of the rescue team, why did he sacrifice himself to save Han Duoduo? That's because his daughter was also in the Hangzhou Underground City. After the sacrifice of his wife and child, he gradually regarded Duoduo as his own child.

All of the above either make up for the deleted plot of the original movie, or re-arrange the plot, making DreamWorks' "The Wandering Earth" smoother and more reasonable from character arcs to narrative.

Therefore, in this version of the third-line narrative, the rescue team line includes a shootout scene with the rebels.

That is to say, Wang Lei's CN171-11 rescue team encountered rebels on the way and then exchanged fire with the rebels, which resulted in the damage to the vehicle.

The reason why captain Wang Lei is so persistent that he still has to go to Hangzhou even if he drags the "Flint" on foot is not only to carry out the mission, but also because his wife and children are in the Hangzhou underground city.

Unless the director or actor has strong appeal, or the movie's reputation explodes, the producers of the past life plane, especially Guo Fan, obviously do not dare to take the gamble.

Immediately, everyone's movements were frozen in the picture, and the water surface returned to the ice surface at this moment. The camera quickly retreated to expand the field of view, allowing the shock and cruelty of this scene to hit our faces.

In this version, the rebels are directly introduced.

Countless hands struggled to reach up, frozen in the moment of pain, and further down, there were vaguely more people.

This is also the heavy atmosphere created by the movie from the beginning.

This could also explain why the rescue team was heavily armed.

Secondly, there are shortcomings in the plot of the original version. There are many abruptness, loopholes, and far-fetched aspects in the character creation and plot design.

In space, Wu Jing in Navigator 1 is a line, from the underground to the surface, the male protagonist, sister and grandfather are a line, and then the CN171-11 rescue team is a line - to show the role of the rebels.

Under the crystal clear ice, a large number of corpses were quickly frozen, and the bodies that kept struggling toward the water surface before death came into view.

The exclamations in the theater and the cruel and heavy atmosphere that followed also made Chen Jingxing and Guo Fan couldn't help but look at each other and smile.

The improvement of special effects is one thing. After all, it is a production worth up to 100 million U.S. dollars. Both the funds and the experience in industrial film shooting are much higher than in the previous life.

Chen Jingxing, Guo Fan and the film's main creators were sitting together.

Because like Wang Lei's CN171-11 rescue team, Li Yiyi's original rescue team also encountered a rebel attack in Manila. The film will also briefly present Li Yiyi's memories later.

Chen Jingxing's feelings are even more complicated, because there are many changes between their version of "The Wandering Earth" and the previous version.

Team member Zhou Qian wanted to shoot and break the flint and said, "No more people can die!" She broke the flint because team leader Wang Lei was determined to go to Hangzhou. In order to ensure that the "flint" didn't go out, someone would definitely have to break it down.

Charge it with your own battery.

Because he thought that the protagonists and others were also members of the rebel army, and this scientific nerd was trying to protect the "fire stone" in the car that was used to save the earth, so he did not hesitate to fight to the death.

The sudden shock caught both the characters on the screen and the audience off-screen by surprise.

Also in the original version, when the male protagonist and Duo Duo went to Jinan, they met Wang Lei's CN171-11 rescue team on the way. The team encountered road problems and the vehicle was damaged. According to the "Wandering Earth Law", the brother and sister's carrier vehicle was temporarily requisitioned.

Why does he think that the protagonist and others are rebels?

And this cruelty and heaviness are vividly displayed in such a shot.

Guan Hu's calm expression was shattered at this moment.

Finally, after the plan to "ignite Jupiter" to help the earth escape Jupiter's gravity and avoid exceeding the Roche limit and eventually disintegrating and destroying was put forward, all three lines entered the most tense and exciting climax scene at the same time.

The protagonist and the rescue team are responsible for putting the "flint" into the reactor ignition gate and re-igniting the engine. Poof, the flames sprayed to an altitude of 70,000 kilometers, detonating Jupiter. The shock wave generated by the explosion returned to the earth along the umbilical cord of the atmosphere, pushing the earth away!

In space, Wu Jing battled wits and courage with the space station host, trying to stop the Fire Project and regain control.

Then Wu Jing's character lifted the artificial intelligence authority of the Navigator space station, and ultimately sacrificed himself and the entire space station to relay the planetary engine and ignite Jupiter, reaching the highest point of the entire film's narrative.
