rising director

"Wan Xiaohu is a Chinese director with extraordinary magic power. The combination of him and Chen Kun is very popular in North America, such as "Butterfly Effect" and "Wanted Order". "——Thomas Derek, editor-in-chief of "Film Observer" Very confident.

""Source Code" is a good story. But it is obviously not suitable for large-scale release, there is not much appeal, I am not optimistic about it." - "Daily Film Intelligence" columnist John. Lee disagrees.

Regardless of whether it is touting or bad-mouthing, North America is ready for the film to be released, and overseas arrangements have also been made.Needless to say, in the Mainland, there was not a single blockbuster released in October, and even the blockbuster "Myth" starring Cheng Long was released half a month earlier.

Back then, a "Wind" and a "Wanted Warrant" were too hard to kill, causing the mainland film circle.I'm afraid to avoid Wan Xiaohu.

"Are you ready for your trip to Source Code?"

Mme time online red version, to promote the movie, the first version of the trailer was also jacked up.

All is ready except for the opportunity!

October 10th is coming soon.

"Give me two tickets to "Source Code." A young Asian boy was wearing sunglasses and a peaked cap.Tell the conductor.This is the Santa Monica Cinema, a small movie theater, and the largest hall can only accommodate 85 people.

The conductor looked at the computer screen: "Sorry, the two shows of "Source Code" in the afternoon are all sold out, and now there is only one show left in the evening, are you willing to wait? If not, you can watch "Invincible and Invincible" Dogs: The Curse of the Man-Rabbit, a great cartoon, or Stealth in Heels, a romance that's great for two people to watch together."

"Is there no ticket for "Source Code"? Wait a minute, I'll discuss it." The young man didn't seem to be upset, but left the window proudly, and then walked to a blonde girl who was reading a poster in the hall.

Meimei also wears a peaked cap, sunglasses, and a mask.

The young man casually put his arms around the blonde girl's waist, and whispered in her ear: "Honey, "Source Code" tickets are sold out, cartoons and romance movies, which one do you want to watch?"

"Cartoon, Tger."

"OK, I'm going to buy tickets now." The young man walked back, "Two tickets to "Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Rabbit"..."

After getting the ticket, the young man hugged the blond beauty, left the hall and went to the movie theater, leaving the conductor muttering: "I seem to have seen this Asian man somewhere, um, I must have seen it."

At this time, a "Variety Show" magazine on the table reminded her, she quickly picked up the magazine and opened it, and found the inside poster, on which Wan Xiaohu's profile picture was so handsome.

"Let me just say, I must have seen him, so he is the director of "Source Code." The conductor snorted proudly, then put down the magazine and continued selling tickets.

Santa Monica is close to Hollywood, only a 10-minute drive away. You don’t need to see too many big stars and big directors here, and there are only a few tigers, which can’t arouse the conductor’s interest too much.

At most, it will add a little after-dinner topic.

So, "Source Code" was released.

0271【Start the source code task】

"This is life... Song Na, if you only had 1 minute left to live, what would you do?"

"Seize every second."

"I want to kiss you again?"

"Once again...uh..."

On the big screen of the Santa Monica movie theater, the male and female protagonists kissed each other, the picture was frozen, the time was frozen, and then slowly slid across the entire train carriage in a still state.

This is not a new lens. It has been used in "The Matrix" for a long time. Dozens of cameras were set up to take photos of the same moment from different angles, and then the photos were connected through editing, which achieved a "time" comparable to "playing time". Freeze in time" effect.

Of course, the time freezing of "The Matrix" is an old method, that is, many cameras are shot together, because no matter how large the exposure is, it still cannot meet the frame rate of the film screening, and it will look a little unsmooth.In "The Matrix 2: Reloaded", with the development of computer cg technology, this old-fashioned clumsy method can already be abandoned, and high-speed photography plus staged shooting plus post-production synthesis can be used.

In "Source Code", Wan Xiaohu adopted a composite method. First, he used high-speed photography to shoot the poses of the actors, and then added various small objects through CG special effects to achieve the effect of time freezing, making it look more perfect and flawless.

Therefore, although this lens is not new, it is still amazing.

In addition, the plot reached the final stage, and the fate of the protagonist's life or death was decided after this time freeze, which immediately caught the hearts of the audience in the entire movie theater.

Everyone gave up breathing and stared at the big screen tightly.

"Don't end like this, wake up!"

"Although the shots are beautiful, I want them to survive!"

"Wake up!"

Subconsciously whispered, one after another in the movie theater.

It did not disappoint the audience, and it was also for saving money.After all, time freeze shots are expensive.A few seconds later, the characters on the screen moved again, and the actor found that the 8 minutes were up, but everything continued, and the source code project created a new world.

"Great!"

"great!"

"Love changes everything!"

"Most exciting footage I've seen!"

"Thank you director for listening to my heart."

"I love Chinese people to death. Song Na is so beautiful!"

Cheers mixed with applause, resounded through the entire auditorium, and then broke through the wall barrier of the old cinema in an instant, and spread to the adjacent auditorium.Many viewers who were casually watching "Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Man-Rabbit" subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

Only one wall can be seen.

"What's the matter, what are you looking at next door, the sound is so loud?"

"I don't know what to watch, but I think it should be very enjoyable to watch."

"I know, it's "Source Code". I want to buy a ticket, but it's sold out, so I can only watch it here."

The conversations of several young people reached the ears of a pair of young men and women sitting in the back row without missing a word.The blond girl put her arms around the Asian young man and whispered in his ear: "Ger, they are cheering for your "Source Code", you are amazing."

The young man is Wan Xiaohu, the director of "Source Code", and the blonde girl is naturally Jessica Alba.

Dim cinema.Wan Xiaohu's hands were dishonest, and his mouth was sloppy: "Isn't it normal that I'm great. I'm your man, it's not like you don't know what's right and wrong."

"Hehehehe, you are the worst Chinese person I have ever seen."

"Men are not bad, women are not loving, haha."

With beauty for company.The movie was praised, Wan Xiaohu is in a good mood, and even better days are to come.

Starting from October 10th, "Source Code" opened in 7 theaters in North America, second only to "Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Rabbit" in 3124 theaters.And "Empty Crisis", which was released in the second week, ranked third with 3645 theaters.In this off-season of movies, all the new releases, except Grout and Gromit, are not expected much.

It can almost be said to be a victory if it can exceed the box office of tens of millions of dollars.

From the pre-sale box office, "Source Code" is about to achieve this goal. After the three-day weekend, the box office will be announced.

Produced by New Line Films, "A History of Violence" directed by the well-known Canadian director David Cronenberg ranked tenth on the box office list with US$500 million in its third week of release.However, "Out of Tranquility", which was released in the second week of its release, only earned US$535 million, ranking No. [-]. For it, the box office is just a luxury.

As the movie version of "Firefly", which is known as the best science fiction TV series in the United States, "Serenity" is a first-class production of Universal Films.But unfortunately, except for the fans of "Firefly", the movie's plot can't excite the audience at all.
