Chapter 103 Life and Death (seeking subscription recommendation)

At the request of the organizer, they cooperated to check whether there were any photographic and video equipment hidden.

Bella didn't have these at first, holding the invitation letter, naturally passed the inspection quickly.

Entering the quaint projection hall of the Chinese Theater, the entire space is slowly filled up at this time, and the audience and fans enter in an orderly manner. It seems that the seats will be filled with seats.

More than 800 spectators were talking in whispers, and the hot atmosphere began to diffuse slowly in the air...

Perhaps because of his profession as a columnist film critic, Bella was placed in a very good position, close to the third row of the big screen.

Not far away, Lucy simply nodded and greeted, Bella took out the pen and notebook from her handbag, and quietly waited for the beginning of the movie...

As the director, Lyman is naturally sitting in the first row.

He sits in the center, with Ryan, Thomas, and George on his right, and Nicholas Cage, Heath Ledger, Joe Boenser, etc. on his left. As for the filming team or other invited guests. The little actors-only Eva Green, they sat in the third row, sitting with the media reporters.

At this moment, watching the dark screen and listening to the comments coming from his ears, Lyman couldn't help but feel his thoughts.

The last time he had a serious premiere was at the Sundance Film Festival, this time, he brought a new work.

The difference is the screening occasion, but the same is still to accept the taste of the audience and film critics.

In the work "Furious", he added a lot of his own ideas, instead of making improvements while keeping the original theme frame unchanged like in "Buried Alive" or "Three Fools in Bollywood".

Of course, he himself was very satisfied with his attempt. From the moment the editing was finished, he was very confident.

However, whether it can succeed and whether the audience can accept it will still be clear in the next few weeks.

His mood at this time was full of anticipation, and his anticipation was mixed with a trace of tension. The changes were so complicated that he was a little nervous.

Everyone next to them also had their own moods, no one spoke, only the voice of the audience behind.

About half an hour later, the lights in the projection hall slowly dimmed, and the curtain of "Frenzy" also opened.

In the darkness, a white light lit up, and the Europa Pictures logo appeared first.

The whole projection hall slowly quieted down. Everyone was engrossed. Suddenly the screen flashed, and the opening animation of Mann Studio appeared on the big screen, a blue butterfly, from cocoon to pupa. Out, finally fluttering to a light spot, then the sound and shadow of the butterfly disappeared, and the light spots scattered to form the English abbreviation of the studio.

Just like "Three Fools in Bollywood", after the iconic production title, the film goes straight to the theme, and the beginning is a panoramic sketch.

Bella couldn't help but adjust her sitting posture, and let out a long sigh of relief. Under the guidance of the melodious and tragic orchestral music, she entered the world of "Furious".

The vast and magnificent plain is slowly unfolded in front of all the audience under the accompaniment of the majestic symphony. The documentary lens depicts the magnificence of nature in real life, so that when the lens slowly looks down from the sky to the side In a small town, the unparalleled visual contrast makes people intoxicated.

Then the picture turned around. An elderly woman was sitting on an indoor chair. She raised her head and looked at the photo on the wall, then tearfully took out a military identification card from the drawer. It is also commonly known as the "dog tag". It is a must-fit configuration for every US military active duty, and is used for soldier identification.

On some of the rusty necklaces, the identification tag hanging on it clearly showed a trace of being penetrated.

This brand belongs to her son, and one of the many victims on the battlefield in Eastern Europe during World War II.

At this time, the photo of the son on the wall made the old woman more and more collapsed. She could no longer control her emotions, and began to cry hysterically.

It turned out that today was her son's birthday. She was sobbing and crying for a long time before she gradually recovered her mood.

The old woman put the identification card in her palm, and she gently stroked the mark carved on it, seeming to be lost in memory...

The screen went dark and lit up again, and at the same time the production information of the film began to appear. After a series of cast and crew, several important creators appeared: Nicholas Cage, Heath Ledger; Producer: George , Ryan; Director: Lyman.

Then another line emerged: Peace breeds war, and war breeds peace.

"Changed a style."

Bella whispered softly in her heart, with a slight smile on her face.

This director seems to be very talented, and the shots and scenes portrayed clearly are different from those in "Three Fools in Bollywood".

The soft warmth of the past is gone, and it has become the simplicity and desolation in this "Furious".

The only thing that hasn't changed is probably the same long shot at the beginning of "Three Fools in Bollywood". The minute or so just passed in front of me is almost inherited.

"This movie is so boring," Bella whispered when she heard the voice of a man obliquely behind her.

She turned her head and glanced.The auditorium was so dark that only a head could be seen.

The man continued: "I said I would watch "007: Die Another Day" a long time ago. Halle Berry is in it, not as good as this fragment. Jennifer, I bet with you, it is definitely not good... ...."

"For nearly 2 hours, I feel that I will go to bed later. After waiting in line for so long, I paid 60 dollars for two tickets, just to see the plains and see an old woman. , What is this, really worthless..."

Bella was about to speak to make him quiet. The girl next to him had already spoken softly, "If you want to watch it, you can watch "007" by yourself. I want to watch this, understand?"

The man whispered a few more words, then reluctantly closed his mouth, sat there obediently and kept silent.

Bella can finally watch a movie with peace of mind.

"What will you bring me this time?"

She muttered to herself.

The music faded, and there was a trace of sorrow in the melodious melodiousness. On the left side of the screen, when the picture turned, it was clear that a group of soldiers were stationed in the barracks, with people coming in and out constantly at the door.

Immediately after the camera switched to the inside of a tent in the military camp, several soldiers dressed as commanders were sitting together fiercely discussing where the troops would go next.

The story officially begins.

"Will they like this movie?"

Nicholas Cage looked at the screen and suddenly asked Lyman aside.

Lyman looked over and found a trace of anxiety hidden in his eyes.

"Yes, your performance inside is very good."

Lyman affirmed his role in words, and pressed his hand with his hand, "When did you have such a lack of confidence in yourself. Cage, this is a bit unlike you."

He knows where Nicholas Cage’s anxiety lies: this is the first film he has taken after the failure of "The Wind Whisperer". If it is not successful, he has worked so hard for so many years of career, very It may be cut in half at one call, and all war-themed characters will be lost directly.

This is not a joke, the reality is so cruel, even he himself knows it well.

But Lyman's comfort obviously didn't work, and Nicholas Cage was still a little nervous, clutching the handrail forcefully.

Lehman didn't know how to console him anymore. Without facts to support his words, it sounded so pale and weak, so he had to pat the back of his hand again, closed his gaze, and looked at the screen again.

Camera switching.From the barracks at the beginning, to a wasteland.

Soldiers in German uniforms are digging trenches and arranging fortifications in twos and threes, waiting for a possible battle.

The lens rotates.The German commanders began to take the scene, and they were also talking loudly about something.

It was World War II that was linked to the subject matter, and coupled with the depiction of these scenes, it was obvious that the Allied forces were about to attack the German mainland.

Next, everything in the picture came to the appearance of the sergeant played by Nicholas Cage.

He was sitting halfway in a tank that was advancing steadily, with the big word "fury" printed on the side of the tank, which perfectly matched the title of the film.

The sergeant looked at the scenery along the way, his face full of wind and frost was extremely calm, he took out a military pot from the marching bag behind him, and slowly took a sip of water.

Then, I explained to the soldiers in my squad what they needed to pay attention to and action instructions when waiting for the war to start, and asked them to concentrate.

However, before the Allied forces had formally arranged their firepower, the Germans had already launched a fierce attack on them.

The howling of shells and machine guns merged into a symphony of death, continuously harvesting the lives of allied soldiers.

The war broke out, and the Allied forces responded quickly.

In accordance with the order issued by the commander from the beginning, the various units have formed a firepower network.

Soon, the advantages of the number and equipment of the Allied forces ahead of the Germans were deeply reflected.

Even if the German army had already laid out the line of defense, it had already dug trenches.

But under the double blow of Allied bombers and artillery shells, it was easily torn apart.

The sergeant's squad is a tank unit with the largest firepower suppression equipment on the land, so naturally it does not need to be on the front line from the beginning.

After the German line of defense was torn apart, this force was thrown into the front battlefield by the commander.

A dozen tanks lined up in a horizontal line, followed by the infantry in the gap on both sides, and drove toward the enemy's position in a crushing force.

Under the suppression of strong artillery fire, the journey soon passed halfway.

But the German army is very bloody, even if all the previously arranged fortifications were blown up, they still did not retreat.

The two sides started a close-up death fight with a distance of ten meters.

People were constantly knocked down by bullets and dragged down by their respective medical soldiers...

In war, there are always dead and alive, casualties, and sometimes it is really just a string of numbers.
