Chapter 698 'New Century' Part One
Before coming, George and his girlfriend expected that the theaters might be crowded. After all, the news that the premiere of "New Century" has been sold out in recent days, it has been circulating on major social platforms.
However, based on past experience, the two senior movie fans thought that these rumors would be somewhat humid, and it might also be the promotional strategy of the film company.
Unexpectedly, when I saw the theater, the reality was even better than the rumors. All the tickets for the movie were sold out on the day of the premiere, and even the corner where the movies were extremely poorly viewed were no exception.
It was Anderson, it was indeed Cizel. They hadn't seen such a grand occasion in the cinema for a long time.
My girlfriend said to George with a teasing, "Look, if I hadn't thought of buying tickets in advance and getting the best viewing position at the 0:00 am early, we might have been turned away like that man and could not see the movie as soon as possible."
George smiled dryly and nodded: "Well, well done."
But he was whispering in his heart that it would be better if he couldn't buy a ticket, and he wouldn't have to endure the torture for the next two hours.
George pretended very well, but knowing his girlfriend, he saw some displeasure at all: "Are you still thinking about the previous words?"
My girlfriend thinks that George is a typical quitting fan and backtrack. The higher the expectations for Anderson and Cizel in the past, the greater the resistance to their movies after being disappointed.
George didn't expect his girlfriend to see through and touched his face embarrassedly.
My girlfriend deliberately asked him: "Or what if we sell the tickets to others and we won't watch them today?"
George felt a sense of danger, and did not dare to nod, so he quickly pulled up his girlfriend: "Look! Time is up! It's time for us to check the tickets!"
George enthusiastically pulled his girlfriend into the cinema.
As senior movie lovers, the two of them have high requirements for movie effects. For science fiction blockbusters like this that focus on special effects, they usually choose the best IMAX Hall.
There are many seats in this kind of cinema, with a floor-standing giant screen that is two stories high. The surround stereo can ensure that the soundtrack is performed to the extreme and allow movie fans to be immersed in the scene to the greatest extent.
They still lined up to enter the venue, holding popcorn and coke, and struggled to squeeze into their place, with noisy people around them.
My girlfriend said to George: "Don't go to the movie with prejudice. I've watched the trailer and I have high expectations for it. Maybe the final effect will be beyond your expectations?"
George seemed to nod, but was disdainful in his heart. He was ready to go to bed sneakily for the next two hours.
It arrived on time at midnight, the lights in the IMAX hall dimmed, and the giant screen in front of them lit up. The familiar opening animation of Times Pictures began to play, and the movie officially began.
*
At the beginning of the movie, it first tells the background history.
This scene is eye-catching, and accompanied by a grand soundtrack, the magnificent scene unfolds in front of you.
That was in the distant future. Human society has become highly informatized in industrialization, developed technology, and convenient life. Cities like steel forests can be seen everywhere, and lights gradually cover the originally dark areas.
What followed was that the earth was overloaded after resources were overexploited, and various crises began to appear on the screen - energy crisis, mineral depletion, environmental pollution, greenhouse effect...
The scars under the glorious history have only revealed the tip of the iceberg on the screen, and the huge amount of information is revealed from those pictures, making people dazzled.
It was just a flash of pictures, but the audience was shocking, as if they saw the future of reality being staged in front of them. The strong sense of reality even made them sweat.
However, the cameras of director Anderson are straightforward and do not incorporate too much emotion. They are like indifferent bystanders of history who gently intercept small clips in the vast river and then tell them to the audience.
In just a few minutes, the audience watched the earth fall into crisis, as if they had experienced it personally, and their emotions were immersed in it. Before they could feel it in depth, they saw an accident suddenly occur on the big screen.
The seabed in the depths of the ocean is lit up, and huge trees grow from the seabed, breaking through the waves, and also startling countless changes on the earth.
Such a sci-fi to magical scene surprised the audience, and then saw that the veil of peace was unveiled because of the extra tree on the earth, and the smoke of war was ignited.
With just a few shots, the spectacular steel city began to collapse and burn, prosperity turned into ruins, smiling faces turned into crying, and the soundtrack became sad.
Time passes, world changes, old systems collapse, new alliances are established, and people who are trapped in war find new order in chaos, and new lives are born from the ruins.
On the ruins of that city, the slender and tall figure is like a spear between heaven and earth, tough and powerful, and its momentum soars into the sky.
The picture followed by darkening, and the rusty and steel-like English title appeared on the big screen, and then the names of directors, actors and others flashed by.
The preface clip of explaining the background ended, and everyone in the audience seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
They didn't expect that the movie would be so exciting as soon as it started. Countless large scenes that were shocking enough to shock the eye were combined together. They quickly flashed through all the contents of the movie background in just a few minutes with a calm bystander angle like a history book.
The amount of information here seems to be very large, but many viewers have done their homework before coming. Knowing the general background of the plot in the movie, and combining it with the clips that just appeared, it is not difficult to understand.
The visual impact brought by the giant screen made George on the seat unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
As soon as Times Pictures opened the opening animation, he picked up the ice coke that he sent to his mouth, and still maintained its original height and position.
The arm remained unchanged for a few minutes, and the belated soreness surged, causing George to almost knock over the cup of Coke, but his girlfriend reached out to stabilize it in time.
"Why? Was it shocked?" My girlfriend stared at him with a funny look. "I was picky before I came, but I definitely felt good now."
George was speechless, and his girlfriend had already begun to sigh at the shock of the opening scene, saying that Anderson was worthy of Anderson and was the best at grasping such a big scene.
"I have a premonition that the next exciting thing is coming!" said my girlfriend excitedly.
George also had a vague premonition...the premonition of being slapped in the face.
With this unpredictable mentality in mind, George put down Coke and popcorn and began to immerse himself in the plot of the movie that will be officially unfolded.
Unlike the grand and magnificent scene just now, when the director and actors at the opening film were named, what lit up from the darkness was a small warm yellow light.
