Millennium director

"Gong Li, who took off his space suit in "Gravity", is like a sleeping baby in the placenta. Note that the rope is exactly where the umbilical cord is. Director Wu Yuan's long shot has both technical content, narrative function and directorial characteristics! "——"Shanghai Entertainment News"

"It is a perfect special effects scene, mobilizing your primitive instincts from top to bottom, from the inside out, and forcing you to tears several times due to tension and pressure! From the soul level, it refreshes your understanding of the relationship between man and the universe. "--"SINA entertainment"

"This is a movie that only belongs to two people, but it is also extremely exciting. The combination of Gong Li and Wang Xueqi in the movie produced an unparalleled chemical reaction, which is impressive, and the thought-provoking lines in the movie are also worth mentioning. Let’s all reflect on it.”——Southern Metropolis Daily

""Gravity" is not a science fiction film in the traditional sense. This film has no superpowers, no spaceship lightsabers, and no weird aliens. It only has to deal with a series of problems caused by space disasters. , the story of two astronauts struggling to save themselves is very simple, but full of tension and surprising scenes. Not a single bit of it was wasted in these ninety minutes." - "Tencent Guest Film Review"

"The ending ends abruptly when Gong Li's feet hit the ground, making the whole movie like a surgeon's most beautiful knife work, completely clean and neat! If I have to pick a bone, the length of the film is too short, and I haven't seen enough. !"——"Douban Film Review"

"'Gravity' tells the story of a heroine whose long-lost soul returns to herself and finds her destination. It is not only the most space-themed movie in recent years that is rich in space spirit, but also a story that is actually about the story of a heroine who has been lost for a long time. A movie about people." - "China Film News"

The day after "Gravity" was released nationwide, newspapers and Internet media across the country all devoted their entertainment headlines to this movie.

All mainstream entertainment media have given this movie all kinds of praise and praise.

There is no doubt that the brilliance of this film has conquered many professional film critics and audiences who watched it on the first day.

Not only film critics and media, although there was no public premiere, friends in the industry invited by Wu Yuan also expressed their opinions freely in front of reporters or on the Internet after watching "Gravity" together. My own opinions and support for this movie.

After watching the movie, Chen Kun wrote a blog very seriously and posted it on the Internet.

"I think this is a space movie that can stay in the history of Chinese films. Not only because "Gravity" is the first Chinese space film, the film itself is excellent and ranks among the top internationally. .”

"Director Wu and Teacher Gong Li teamed up to present a story about a woman fighting for her life in a zero-gravity space. There is no trace of contrivance in this story."

"This is a great movie. The Chinese film industry will usher in a new era after "Gravity". Director Wu has led the transformation of Chinese film technology and taught all mainland directors a lesson. !”

"How to make a movie that is both commercial, technical and artistic, and is very well done!"

"I sincerely recommend my friends to go to the cinema and watch this movie. Only on the big screen in the cinema can you feel the full charm of this movie, which is something that TV cannot do."

"The ultimate experience of watching a movie, every frame takes my breath away, and every second makes me worried."

"There is a long shot that I remember deeply."

"In the long shot, Gong Li keeps flipping around in the dark and endless space. The camera gradually zooms in, from panoramic to medium shot, then close shot, until a close-up of Gong Li's face, and then the viewpoint "passes" through her spacesuit. The mask, close to her skin, captures her rapid breathing and fearful eyes, and finally the camera pans out to the vast universe."

"The processing of this long shot allows people to feel the shock of space through Gong Li's perspective, and at the same time experience the character's fear and despair. It's simply great!"

"Director Wu's use of long takes is the best among all directors in China. It can be said to be the pinnacle!"

Feng Xiaogang also said in an interview with the media after watching the movie: "This is definitely an Oscar-level movie. The visual effects of the movie are very good and the story is very deep. Director Wu is really awesome. With so many directors in China, I Just obey him."

"Everyone used to say that he was not good at delicate camera language, but I didn't expect Director Wu to hold back a big trick and use the long lens to his advantage."

Among the shooting techniques of the movie "Gravity", the most praiseworthy thing is the large number of excellent long shots. This is also a characteristic of director Alfonso Cuarón. Wu Yuan also learned to use this kind of long shots. Lens technique.

The effect is good!

Countless people in the industry, whether they took the initiative to speak out on the Internet or were chased by reporters to ask questions, have given all kinds of praise and compliments to the movie "Gravity".

If only one person praised it like this, maybe everyone would think that he might have received money.

But if everyone who has watched it is praising the movie "Gravity", it means that it is really a very good movie!

Again, this is 2008, not 2018.

Even if "Gravity" loses its most advantageous IMAX shock effect, the visual effects are enough to impress people with its realistic space special effects scenes and immersive first-person perspective.

At a time when IMAX movies have not yet appeared, and the global film industry has not yet been dimensionally reduced and technologically upgraded, Wu Yuan's version of "Gravity" is enough to conquer Chinese and even global audiences.

Before "Gravity", the last space disaster-themed movie dates back to 2000's "Mission to Mars". The level of special effects at that time was simply incomparable to what it is today.

Just like Feng Xiaogang said, Wu Yuan really made an Oscar-level movie.

As we all know, many of the movies that win Oscars are not only well-received, but also very popular!

The opening score of 8.5 on Douban undoubtedly proves the excellence of "Gravity".

"The box office on the first day was 55 million, breaking the first-day box office record for Chinese-language films!"

"The three-day box office in the first weekend was 165 million, breaking the first-week box office record for Chinese-language films!"

"Director Wu, although I have been mentally prepared, the results of "Gravity" are still too exaggerated!"

In Li Xiaoping's office at Light and Shadow Times Company, Li Xiaoping's face turned red and she was dancing to vent her excitement.

Currently, Huaxia's box office and weekly box office records are held by "The Movie". Although this movie has been heavily criticized, the box office is indeed good. The box office in the first week was nearly 100 million, and the highest daily box office was nearly 40 million.

However, this record was broken by Wu Yuan's "Gravity" in less than half a year, and it was even higher.

Based on this premiere momentum, "Gravity" may be expected to earn more than 400 million in box office in the mainland, setting a new box office record for mainland movies in one fell swoop.

For "Gravity", which invested 300 million yuan, setting such a record should have been the mission of this blockbuster.

But expectations are expectations, whether they can be realized is another matter.

How many blockbusters shouted loud slogans and had high hopes before their release, but still failed at the box office?

Now that "Gravity" has really come true and even exceeded expectations, Li Xiaoping can't restrain her excitement!

"Director Wu, the good results in the first few days of the premiere will be followed by an explosion of word-of-mouth!"

"Basically, anyone who went to the cinema to watch "Gravity" gave the movie very high praise."

"Those who understand the deep meaning behind the movie will praise this movie for its full display and exploration of human hearts!"

"As for viewers who don't understand the deeper meaning of the movie, just seeing the exciting space escape plot and the shocking and impactful special effects is enough to conquer their appetite."

"Some people already call you the father of Chinese science fiction movies, and this year will be the first year of Chinese science fiction movies!"

"Before, many people didn't believe it and questioned whether you could make an excellent science fiction movie. Now they are all speechless and dare not speak."

"Haha, if the company is listed, the influence of this movie alone can increase the stock price by at least 10%!"

Seeing Li Xiaoping pacing back and forth excitedly, Wu Yuan, who was sitting on the sofa, was very calm.

Where is this?

The investment in "Gravity" was a full 320 million yuan, which means that the film must earn at least 800 million yuan in box office in order to make money back.

The current expected box office in the Mainland is 400-500 million, which is far from enough!

However, Wu Yuan knew that such a good opening reputation and box office performance of "Gravity" would definitely affect some of the upper-level administrative decisions.

Next, "Gravity" will receive an even bigger wave of dividends!

"Mr. Li, don't you think the movie "Gravity" is very suitable as a popular space science movie for primary and secondary school students and even high school students?" Wu Yuan asked with a smile on his face.

"You mean?" Li Xiaoping was a little surprised: "The official will take the initiative to organize primary and secondary school students to watch movies?!"

Wu Yuan smiled brightly.

In this day and age, it is still relatively popular for official organizations to watch movies together.

Primary and middle school students are often taken by their teachers to the cinema to watch educational films, such as those that praise maternal love, family ties, and patriotic themes.

Some state-owned enterprises and public departments also often organize movie viewing activities, and the entire department reserves the venue to watch some movies with positive influence.

This is a special administrative guidance under China's national conditions, and it will probably disappear after 2010.

A large part of the reason why the box office of "Avatar" was so exaggerated was that the administration and education departments at that time organized a large number of unified viewings.

Let’s put it this way, the first movie many people born in the 1990s watched in the cinema was “Avatar” organized by the school.

Of course, this is limited to urban students, and rural schools do not have this condition.

Now, Gravity will enjoy this level of support a year early!

Wu Yuan spread his hands and said proudly: "Director Han just told me that primary and secondary schools in major cities, as well as state-owned enterprises and public servants, will organize a large number of unified viewings to watch "Gravity" in the cinema. "!"

"In the next twenty years, our country's aerospace industry will be one of the focuses of development. Since we want to develop the space industry, publicity must also keep up!"

"The emergence of "Gravity" is standing on the cusp of the wave of the times!"

"As a space disaster film, this film is the most suitable to let the Chinese public understand and realize the loneliness and danger of space, and to inspire the public's enthusiasm for space exploration." (End of Chapter)
