Chapter 518: The surprise brought by "Terminator 2"

July 12th is a day remembered by movie fans all over the world. On this day, the long-awaited movie "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" was officially released in the United States and Hong Kong. With lightning speed

It quickly topped the weekly box office charts in both places. In just its first week in the United States, "Terminator 2" took in nearly $40 million in box office, becoming the well-deserved box office champion. In its second week, "Terminator 2"

The total box office of "Terminator 2" has exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars. If the box office of Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Canada are included, the total box office has steadily recovered the revenue.

And after "Terminator 2" was released, it received rave reviews from movie critics.

"The unknown of the future unfolds before us. We face the future with hope for the first time. Because if a machine, a Terminator, can learn the value of humanity, maybe we can too" - Sarah Connor.

"If you only plan to watch one American action movie in your life, you should undoubtedly choose this "Terminator 2". It is really a perfect movie."

"The "Terminator" series truly explores the relationship between humans and machines. Computer technology has brought great development to human society, but it has also brought great panic and disaster. This was not explained too much in the first "Terminator".

It's just a story background. But "Terminator 2" starts with a picture of the doomsday battlefield, and finally freezes into John Connor's eyes (please note that his expression is not much different from that of the Terminator).

This seems to be a very subtle message. Robots are not much different from humans. Disasters in the future world will be caused by humans."

"Honestly speaking, the plot of this movie is not very complicated and tortuous. It can even be summarized in just a few sentences. The theme of robots destroying human beings is not too new, but it is such a simple plot.

, but presented us with an extremely shocking audio-visual enjoyment. The director and screenwriter of this film is the Hollywood genius James Cameron. His father is an electrical engineer and his mother is a painter. This seems to have created his innate artistic genius and leadership.

Talent.”

In the entertainment pages of the media, comments like this are overwhelming...

And it was also rated as the best movie sequel in the history of Hollywood movies, ending the history of Hollywood movie sequels generally not being as good as the first episode.

"We all know that Hollywood is a paradise for sequels. For producers, the success of the previous film is enough to guarantee the success of the next one. Sometimes, film companies often shoot two films in one go.

Movies are released intensively one year apart. This not only saves a lot of production costs, manpower and material resources, but also keeps up with the trend. Naturally, it will take all the money out of the audience's pockets. However, although the sequel is easy to make and sell, there are also

The problem is that most audiences, directors, and actors know that the sequel may, and is very likely to be a bad movie, but I have to admit that "Terminator 2" directed by Cameron has made a comeback after many years and has completely surpassed

It defeated his previous work and broke the Hollywood tradition that the sequel is not as good as the first episode!" Schwartz, the marketing director of the American New Front Cinema Line Company, said bluntly.

"From the perspective of science fiction films, the connection between machines, computers, networks and intelligence, etc., and the crisis of future society, the "Terminator" series has risen from the entertainment level in the first episode to the level of reflection in the second episode.

From the transformation of robots to the aggression and ignorance of humans themselves, although the film is still entertaining most of the time, the theme is much deeper than the first episode." Thomas, a well-known American film critic, said in an interview with the TV media

And talk.

"James' technology has matured. Take the road chase scene as an example: John's light motorcycle, T-1000's large truck, and T-800's motorcycle. The shots of the three of them appeared alternately, and the rhythm became more and more intense.

Faster, the shots of Arnold shooting with scattered bullets on the motorcycle, and the final return to the car to look at the truck that crashed and caught fire, are all amazing. The metal deformation shots of the liquefied robot T-1000 are even more breathtaking.

I believe that these will become classic shots recognized by filmmakers around the world and be imitated by countless people." American Hollywood director Robert was also filled with emotion.

"I have to say that Director Cameron's portrayal of characters in this movie has been superb. For example, Sarah, in the previous movie, was just a beautiful vase that could scream loudly.

Here, she has become a staunch warrior who protects her son and the future of mankind. Sarah is a thinker who has contradictions and longing for the fate of mankind: she is very afraid of future disasters, so the narrator of the narration is her,

She was also the one who dreamed about the coming of Judgment Day. In the film, there is a very subtle scene that reveals the future of mankind in Sarah's eyes - a dark highway! That was after she was rescued from the mental hospital by Connor and T-800

, in the car, she said to the T-800 driving: "Can you see the road clearly?" The T-800 replied: "I can see clearly." This question and answer has revealed Sarah's true identity.

Fear of the fate that mankind will face in the future. And Connor. The T-800's transformation from a cold protector to an emotional future warrior who helps mankind is entirely the result of getting along with Connor. A Terminator recognizes that mankind

Destiny and emotion, I believe this will be a theme that many science fiction genres pay attention to in the future. Connor said at the beginning of the movie: 'We have feelings, we can feel hurt and fear, you have to understand this, this is very important.

' Later, T-800 saw Sarah because she loved Connor and blamed him for going to the mental hospital to save her. Connor was sad and shed tears. T-800 asked him what happened. Until after defeating T-1000 and preparing to go into the furnace, T-800

Only then did I realize: I understand why you cry, but I can't do it. After seeing this, I have to admit that this is an epoch-making portrayal of human nature." Ms. Gower, president of Kingfisher Films, made no secret of her feelings for her ex-husband.

Appreciation of film talent.

Of course, in addition to the popularity of the movie itself, the actors in the movie have also received great praise for it. The excitement of the movie, in addition to Sarah and Connor mentioned by Gower, is naturally also related to

Schwarzenegger and Patrick are absolutely inseparable from their wonderful performances of the characters.

Schwarzenegger's perfect physique and tough appearance can be said to be the perfect candidate for the T-800. But his performance in the movie is not just a big guy who only knows how to show off his muscles. On the contrary, compared with the previous episode

From now on, Schwarzenegger's performance has improved significantly. His performance is accurate, expressive and wonderful, and he portrays a robot who does not understand human emotions but gradually understands human nature. Especially his final choice,

Almost all viewers fell in love with this "Terminator".

The T-1000 liquid metal man played by Patrick has definitely left an unforgettable impression on everyone who has watched "Terminator 2". This robot is very different from the T-800. He doesn't speak much, but his expressions are expressive.

His body language is intimidating, especially his eyes, which vividly express the ruthlessness and ferocity in his heart; he kills people like stepping on ants, but he is fundamentally different from ordinary killers because he kills people.

It always kills with one hit, never wastes useless movements, and never shows off its skills too much. This robot that can transform like plasticine really left a deep impression on people.

Of course, in addition to Sarah and Connor, many characters in it have left a deep impression on the audience. This also includes Sandra Bullock and the Japanese-American Mitsuri Uda.

However, compared with them, the most eye-catching thing, and the one that makes Americans scratch their heads the most, is the name that appears on the screen in the two positions of screenwriter and director, after Cameron——

"Fang" written in Chinese regular script!

It goes without saying that the director is important in a film, but the screenwriter is definitely an important position that cannot be ignored in the Hollywood film industry. Of course, a good actor can save a garbage movie, but there are

With a good screenwriter, even a newbie can become a star.

What shocks the Americans is that they have always thought that the screenwriter and director of "Terminator 2" was Cameron. No one expected that in the end, a method suddenly appeared! And this method

, no one knows who he is!

Well, even if he is an unknown person, he can become the screenwriter and director of "Terminator 2". Although it is obvious that Cameron has a greater role in this, otherwise this party would not be ranked after his name, but

The popularity of "Terminator 2" at the box office is enough to make him the new favorite of Hollywood film company bosses! For a newcomer who can write, direct, and is recognized by Cameron, for Hollywood film companies

, but baby.

But no one knows who this "Fang" is! Faced with confusion from the media and film companies, Kingfisher Films has remained silent on this, and the crew of "Terminator 2" has also remained silent on this -

Of course they won't say it. Cameron is about to start filming his next movie. It is no secret among the company and the crew. The popularity of "Terminator 2" at the box office and the popularity of a number of stars have made everyone further

He fully realized Cameron's talent and his future position in Hollywood. At this time, when he had already issued a gag order, breaking the news to the media would undoubtedly mean that he would no longer have any relationship with Cameron.

Possibility of cooperation. No one would be so stupid as to ruin his career in Hollywood just for a little windfall.

It's just that when Fang Mingyuan saw this subtitle at the premiere of "Terminator 2" in Hong Kong, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. This Cameron actually didn't reveal anything before, even in the sample film he showed.

, didn’t reveal anything at all, and only gave myself a “surprise” at the end. What a surprise!
