I’m Really A Great Director

Chapter 35: Drawing Lessons from Ridley Scott's Alien One

Li Fanxi's one-minute movie has the last ten seconds left.

Image on the screen:

The man in white short sleeves was starving and gobbled up a plate of spaghetti.

His face was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and his movements were strangely uncoordinated.

Immediately afterwards, he choked on the spaghetti, coughing ceaselessly, and his expression changed drastically in an instant, yelling and mad.

Everyone quickly pressed him on the dining table to prevent him from moving.

At this point, the video has only four seconds left.

When Zhong Ming saw this, he also knew that Li Fanxi was holding back his big move.

But what exactly is this big move?

As a senior film critic with a wealth of in-depth film viewing experience, he should have been able to infer the outline of this "big move".

But strangely, Zhong Ming couldn't guess at all.

Everyone at the scene also frowned tightly, staring at the big screen intently, wondering what would happen in the next four seconds.

At this moment, everyone has a question:

"What the hell is going on with this man in white? Wasn't he alright just now? Is he sick?"

The expressions of the judges are also different.

Cai Qiu's eyes half closed and his face expressionless, as if he was very dissatisfied with Li Fanxi's film this minute.

Mo Wei took a sip of the juice first, tilted his mouth, his face was extremely interested.

Liu Yang opened his eyes wide and stared at the screen.

Everyone was waiting for the last four seconds.

Image on the screen:

Suddenly, a puff of blood spurted from the chest pain of the man in white!

"Blood appeared!" Host A roared involuntarily.

His nervousness has been accumulating for the first fifty seconds. At this time, it seems that a string has been stretched to the tightest point, and it will break immediately!

Everyone on the field was also taken aback by the blood.

Why does blood spray out of the chest cavity?

When everyone was in a daze, the high energy moment came:

A young alien bounced out of the white-clothed man's chest abruptly!

Several female staff members screamed!

"Puff!" Mo Weixian was also taken aback, squirting juice, and then shouted: "What the fuck!"

I saw a small alien with white skin, but red pus flowing all over his body, grinning.

In the next second, the little alien bounced out of the chest of the man in white and disappeared into a corner of the space capsule at an extremely fast speed.

The video ends.

Li Fanxi took off the cranial mask, moved his neck, and opened his eyes.

There was no sound, the expressions on everyone's faces were frozen, and they were still staring at the screen blankly.

The audience was silent.

——————

This is "Alien 1" in 1979, the most classic "burst" segment.

In the success of this film, director Ridley Scott certainly contributed the most, but there is another hero, that is, special effects master Stan Winston.

This old man's masterpiece is "physical special effects".

For those special effects scenes that require interaction with actors, CG can never replace the realism brought by physical effects.

In order to shoot the shot of the alien bursting out of the chest, Winston asked the actor to lie on an obliquely placed board, covered with a foam rubber replacement model of the neck and chest, from which the monster exploded.

Winston slightly modified the design of the Explosive Chest, adding two thin arms, so that it can be pulled out of the victim's chest, and to maintain anatomical consistency with the adult alien warrior.

The explosive body shaped model has a metal internal structure, which is strong enough to break through the chest cavity model.

It is controlled by a cable and is put on the arm of a manipulator. In the actual shooting, it was simply punched out of the foam rubber chest model!

Now Li Fanxi, due to technical weaknesses,

On the sidelines, Wei Wudi was still unable to recover from the shock.

After watching horror movies for so many years and claiming that he "will never be intimidated", he was a bit shocked at this time.

What kind of animal is the thing in the belly of the man in white?

When he recovered, he found that the live broadcast room had been screened by "666".

[Who can tell me what monster it was just now?

[Screenshots have been taken, under study]

[It seems that it hasn't grown up yet, it was in early childhood]

[There is so much information in this minute]

"Fifty seconds of dullness, last ten seconds of stunning, this effect is really amazing..." Wei Wudi said to himself.

——————

Xiao Xiao's house.

"Wow, your boyfriend has such a heavy taste!" Pingping saw this clip and felt that the popcorn couldn't be eaten.

A strange-looking monster popped out of a person's abdominal cavity--

My dear mother, the impact of this picture is too powerful!

Caught off guard, caught off guard!

"Heavy taste can win!" Xiao Xiao pressed her lower abdomen, resisting the feeling of vomiting, and defended her boyfriend.

on site.

Some directors of the horror category applauded, some raised their thumbs high, and some were even poked to refresh themselves, and even shouted in excitement.

In short, most of them admired Li Fanxi's performance this minute.

"Heda, how about it, is it okay this minute?" Radar asked the river monster.

The river monster coughed, his face gloomy and did not speak.

On stage.

"Wow, it seems that this one-minute film directed by Li Fanxi has a lot of energy..."

The two hosts invariably wiped the sweat from their foreheads.

"Okay, let's take a look at the comments of the judges." Host A said loudly: "First of all, we ask Mo Wei Xian to comment.

Mo Wei first put down the drink bottle and was still wiping his suit with a paper towel. He had just been frightened and took a sip of juice.

"You don’t dare to be a comment!" He said modestly, straightened the microphone, and said, "This...Yuda’s strength is very strong, really very strong. In this minute film, no matter what The color, the picture, the stability, and the sound are almost impeccable and flawless."

Liao Yu smiled.

Such a review sounds really cool.

"But, I think Li Fanxi has the upper hand in terms of creativity...This creativity scares me a lot!"

Everyone laughed at the scene.

Liao Yu frowned.

"Creativity? What creativity?" Liao Yu was puzzled.

Because the two people's eyes are separated, they cannot peek into each other's screen.

Liao Yu didn't know what Li Fanxi had made.

"Oh, Mo Weixian made a big comment on both sides, so now-please don't give a lot of points!" Host A said.

When Mo Weixian pressed a few numbers on the keyboard, the LCD screen in front of him displayed two lines of words:

Liao Yu: 7

Li Fanxi: 8

"Oh, Mo Da's score came out, Li Fanxi temporarily leads by one point."

"Sorry Yu is big," Mo Weixian shrugged towards Liao Yu, "For me, I still like creativity."

Liao Yu smiled generously and scolded MMP in his heart.

The second judge is an expert in visual design, Rong Duan, a 37-year-old beauty.

"Okay, now Ms. Rong Duan will give a score." Host B said.

"Wait," Rong Duan held the microphone very gracefully and asked softly: "I have a question for you, Li Fanxi."

Li Fanxi nodded towards Rong Duan.

"You, you, when can I make this video, I want to be the first to watch it!"

This sentence spoke out everyone's heart, and everyone laughed and applauded.

"I also want to be the first to watch it!" Host A joked playfully.

Li Fanxi smiled slightly without answering.

"I hope to get your answer." The 37-year-old Rong Duan stared at Li Fanxi, and suddenly there was a girlish silly attitude in his expression.

"It shouldn't be long." Li Fanxi replied.

"Wait, is this a science fiction movie or a horror movie?" Rong Duan asked immediately.

"I prefer to think of him as a horror movie."

"Okay! Then I'm waiting for your film!"

"Ms. Rong Duan, please rate." Host B said with a smile.

Rong Duan’s red fingernails flashed a few times, and two lines of words appeared on the LCD screen:

Liao Yu: 7

Li Fanxi: 9

"Well, now Li Fanxi is leading by three points..." the two hosts said in unison.

Seeing this score, Liao Yu almost died of anger, his face began to be covered with a layer of pig liver.

Not good!The situation is bad!

Liao Yu looked at Cai Qiu anxiously.

Host A looked at the third judge and said: "Okay, now I invite Mr. Guo Xiang to come—"

Suddenly, his voice was interrupted.

"Wait," Cai Qiu moved the microphone to his mouth, and said in a deep voice, "Let me comment first."

The situation is not good for Liao Yu.

Cai Qiu couldn't sit still.
