"Buzz", "zizizi", "bang bang", the whole cinema seems to fall into a noisy roar. The strong noise is further amplified by the sound, hitting on each audience's eardrum, causing a strong discomfort, so that in the screening hall, everyone starts to stir up, "screening failure" and "screening failure" The key words of "screening accident" spread rapidly among the crowd, filled with a sense of uneasiness.
Gavin hunt can't believe that in the Chinese theater, there was a screening failure above the premiere? This is absolutely a fatal blow to the film's reputation and viewing effect. Although everyone knows that this is the result of non-human factors; But it will inevitably affect the mood.
Involuntarily, Gavin sat up straight, straightened his waist, looked back, looking forward to the scene to solve the problem as soon as possible. Through the weak light of the large screen, we can catch the "hamsters" who are looking around, and the whole projection hall is a little anxious.
"... I'm not sure if I can play it out... Er, this is... Shasha... Accident... A series of explosions... Bang..."
Amid the chaotic noise, reporters reporting on the scene appeared on the big screen. Their voices gradually began to become clear. At the same time, there was a sudden explosion. That kind of dangerous and anxious mood fluctuated violently up and down, firmly catching the attention of every audience in the Chinese theater, just like a life-saving straw, It's just like the choice that every ordinary person makes when the real life encounters the end of the world
Turn on the TV and watch real-time news.
Five years ago, aliens formally invaded the earth. They landed in Hamburg, Germany, and quickly began to expand, sweeping the entire European continent. Few people can form an effective confrontation. The power of advanced life is bringing devastating attacks.
Now the aliens have come to France, the rest of the European continent is occupied, and France is the last bridgehead. Next, London, next, the rest of the world will be in jeopardy.
After five years of confrontation, the earth alliance finally won its first victory in Verdun, France.
With the new armor developed and implemented by Major William cage, Rita wallatasky has become the official first Fighting Angel. She almost led the coalition forces to win the first victory in Verdun with her own strength.
As a result, the coalition's confidence was greatly increased. They planned the annihilation plan, established a fully armed team with the latest armour, and went to Paris to fight with the aliens to stop them on the European continent before they crossed the English Channel.
Gavin turned his head slowly and opened his mouth slightly. His eyes were still dazed and dazed. His brain gradually recovered
Routine, is it all routine? Is all that noise created by the movie? It creates a sense of tension and fear. Before the film officially starts, it allows the audience to be truly on the scene, and then, in the form of TV news, it makes everyone blur the boundary between reality and film.
It's definitely Paul Greengrass's game. Even a reporter like Gavin had to marvel at this time. He played beautifully for three minutes. All the audience in the screening hall failed to get out of the atmosphere of the film and seamlessly entered the world depicted in the film.
Although Gavin has realized this, the brain is still full of information make complaints about Tucao.
Gavin can't help wondering: is today's premiere a premeditation? From armed soldiers, to black tunnels, to simulated battlefields and one-to-one alpha debris models, and finally to suspected failures in the screening hall, the whole process is completed in one go, creating psychological hints bit by bit, leading the audience step by step into the world of "tomorrow's edge".
If that's the case, today's premiere is definitely a revolutionary feat.
But now, Gavin has no time and space to think about these problems, because the two main characters have already made their debut: major cage played by Langley, and angel Verdun played by Jennifer. To get straight to the point and hold on to every audience, at least for Gavin, his curiosity has begun to stir.
Handsome, romantic and glib, just with the way of walking, the look of eyebrows and eyes, and the smile at the corner of the mouth, major William cage's appearance triggered an excited exclamation and exclamation in the screening hall. All of them came from the female audience, so that other male audiences all gave out a sigh of complaint. This sharp contrast led to a burst of laughter.
Jennifer bumped her elbow against blue and raised her chin with a meaningful smile; Lan Li also pursed the corners of his mouth and said, "wait a second."
In the next few minutes, major cage's image took a sharp turn.
Originally, he was not a soldier, he was just a salesman. In the war, relying on his three inch eloquence, he climbed to today's position. The successful implementation of the new type of armour was his greatest achievement.
As a matter of fact, he was not only greedy for life and fearing death, but also tried every means to evade the impending annihilation plan and came to the front line in London just for the sake of walking around and writing reports, so that he could continue to be promoted and make a fortune after he showed up; In order to avoid going to the battlefield, he even threatened the general and used the power of public opinion to destroy his reputation.
Just when cage thinks his rhetoric has successfully convinced the general, the general orders to arrest him. In a chase that is neither intense nor exciting, cage is awkwardly and awkwardly attacked by a stun gun, and then falls to the ground in vain and funny.
"Ha ha." There was a low laugh in the projection hall.
No one likes such a role, no one likes such a character, so when you see such a character eat shriveled, it always makes people happy. But Gavin thinks it's even more interesting that Langley actually plays such a role, even with the flavor of a funny clown; Moreover, it's the first time that Langley has made a big choice in a commercial movie. It's really interesting to choose this way.
When he regained consciousness, cage found himself lying on top of the recruits' training bag at Heathrow airport, handcuffed and dizzy. This is the front line of the war. All the soldiers are about to set out, cross the English channel, arrive in France, and then start the annihilation plan.
Cage's first reaction was to leave here, and he fooled Sergeant Farrell, who appeared on the spot. He showed his rank as a major and convinced Farrell to lead him to call the headquarters in Washington.
After the success of the plan, cage gradually relaxed and began to get close to Farrell. It was not until he arrived at the barracks that cage realized that Farrell had not been deceived. All his performances just now were just a joke in the eyes of the other party.
"It seems that only your name is true of what you say. In this letter, it says that you are a deserter, that you are arrested for pretending to be an officer, that you will try to make a phone call, and even threaten the safety of the operation. As long as you can avoid war, you can do anything. But none of this will happen! Forever! Private cage
Farrell calmly pronounced cage's punishment order. Looking at cage's confused expression and Farrell's smile, the audience could no longer hold back, clapping and laughing.
It's not a scene that makes people laugh, but the opposition between Langley and Alexandria is full of sparks. The sense of humor between the gestures and the eyebrows is really amusing; Coupled with the contradictory interaction between the roles, it's really gratifying to see cage be severely put together. So laughter broke out.
Gavin must admit that the opening of "tomorrow's edge" is a great success. That kind of casual humor is created by the contrast between the actor's performance and the plot. Paul Greengrass's realistic style lens creates the real texture of the end of the world, which makes adrenaline constantly burst out, At the same time, attention is completely focused on the big screen.
Under the guidance of Farrell, the members of team J came on the stage, and there was a faint commotion in the screening hall. Just like the stars of the Avengers alliance, the members of team J are just a small gathering of stars. It's just an appearance. However, the film uses fast fragment editing method, through the conversation between each member and cage, and even physical confrontation——
They gave cage a shock education with the most concise and quick attitude. A gust of wind and rain made cage completely overwhelmed. Even after several punches, he squatted down on the ground in embarrassment, arousing a piece of dust and causing everyone's collective laughter.
Gavin's eyes brightened slightly. This group play is really good. The crisp editing has the style of David Finch, and the sharp and full lines also have the posture of Allen Sorkin. With a few strokes, they set up the image of each team member. Obviously, they are full of desire for fighting and urgency for victory.
The only regret is that the group play is a little lengthy, about five minutes. If it is controlled within three minutes, the rhythm of the movie will be smoother; However, five minutes of humor, without procrastination, is really pleasant to watch. More importantly, Gavin is curious:
Why did every character get such a full sketch? They are not the superheroes in the Avengers League. Each character has countless supporters. The director must distribute the parts reasonably and give each character enough time to appear on the stage; In the "tomorrow's edge" J team, there are no big stars and no important roles.
Is this a foreshadowing? Or the mistakes of the production team?
Thoughts flashed by quickly, because the war began.
