Chapter 233 Team Battle
The plot of "Pacific Rim 2" is relatively simple, but the fighting scenes are quite outstanding, especially the debut of "Storm Red", who killed a "mage-type" monster with one sword, which made the audience excited. After all, this guy easily killed the "Atlantis".

Of course, the success of "Storm Red" was due to a surprise attack.

The problem is that the two monsters also launched sneak attacks and cooperated with each other, so it is needless to say who was unethical.

The subsequent plot is about meetings, large-scale monitoring, and eventually finding the new "channel" location. The generals in the PPDC Pacific Defense Command discuss with the doctoral consultant what methods should be used to solve the problem.

Someone suggested that, as before, a mecha should go through the "channel" to the planet where the monster's lair is and blow up the channel there.

The biggest problem is who will drive the mecha over.

Then, the heroine played by Gao Yuanyuan in the first film appeared. She and another older mecha pilot in the film drove a mecha into the passage, but unfortunately they failed in the end.

At this moment, there are only four mechas left in human hands, and five monsters have arrived off the coast of Tokyo Bay.

Four against five, the advantage is on the monster.

But humans have no choice. Using nuclear bombs can destroy monsters, but it will cause a large amount of toxins in their bodies to be released.

These toxins will change the earth's atmosphere, soil, and water environment, causing the extinction of life on Earth.

There is no other way except to start a group.

Therefore, at the end of the film, there is a wonderful battle between mechas and monsters, which unfolds in a rainy night with lightning and thunder.

Jiang Heng incorporated the ideas of later-generation fighting games into this.

For example, the "Storm Red" in the film is a true "tank" type mecha. Its biggest feature is its "thick blood". It is super resistant to beatings and every punch hits the flesh.

Rush to the front, catch the monster with the weakest armor and beat it hard, then use the ultimate move to kill it instantly.

Later, in the "four-on-four" team battle, "Storm Red" suffered the most damage, but was also the best at collecting "remaining blood", and took down three "beast heads" throughout the game.

The United States' Explorer took one, and the Russian mecha took one.

The last shot of the film is in the monster's lair. In the dim environment, a pair of devil-like eyes suddenly open, which is chilling. Then the film ends.

The audience was "hard controlled" for a second or two, and many people couldn't help but think: "It seems that the ultimate BOSS will appear in the next part!"

Because there were no Easter eggs, the lights came on quickly and the guests, reporters and audience in the venue applauded.

The host Tu Jingwei walked onto the stage and said with lingering fear: "To be honest, Director Jiang, I was really scared by the look in the eyes of the devil in the last monster's lair. I want to ask, in the third part, will the earth enter the end of the world?"

Jiang Heng had already stood up, holding the microphone and said with a smile: "To be honest, I am still thinking about the plot of the third part, and the story will definitely continue to escalate. For example, in the first part, it was basically one against one. In the second part, there were already several mechas and monsters fighting together.

Whether there will be a war between the monster army and the mecha army in the third part depends on the box office performance of this part. After all, we will not dare to invest heavily in the sequel unless the film makes money!"

As he was speaking, Jiang Heng had already walked onto the stage.

Tu Jingwei smiled and said, "I understand. If you want to watch the third part, you have to support this movie! Then I would like to comment here. The "Storm Red" in the film is really handsome. The moment he appeared on the stage, he was like a god descending from heaven. He killed the monster with one sword. Really, when I watched it, I felt my body shaking.

The fight between them was even more exciting, with so many tactics and coordination. How did you come up with these? Were you influenced by any game?"

Jiang Heng smiled and shook his head: "I don't usually play games, but when I was filming, I kept thinking that I must let the audience see this part clearly, at least let them see clearly who is beating who.

You can't be so distracted that you can't tell who is who!
Therefore, when designing these mechas and monsters, we focused on strengthening their own styles. Our Storm Red is characterized by its huge size, strong body, thick blood, and strong resistance to attacks. Although it moves slowly, it is also very invincible within the range of its sword.

Japan's mecha Tango Wolf II also looks very powerful, but it is too light and has insufficient armor, so it was flattened by a slap from the monster.

As for the American Explorer, it is fast, has strong defense, and is the best in the world in long-range attack, but compared to Storm Red, it is slightly inferior in close combat...!"

Jiang Heng commented on the mechas and monsters that appeared in the film one by one. The audience listened to Jiang Heng's narration and recalled the battle scenes they had just seen, which they found quite interesting.

Then the main creative staff came on stage and asked questions from media reporters and the audience.

Guo Fan, who was among the reporters, was extremely excited and raised his hand high. He was actually called. When he got the microphone, he was still a little bit unbelieving.

Then he asked, "Hello, Director Jiang. I'm a reporter from China Travel TV. My name is Guo Fan. I like your movies very much. I'm also a science fiction fan. I like your The Matrix series very much. But I think the overall style of this film is still a bit Western. Will Director Jiang shoot a very Chinese science fiction film in the future?"

Jiang Heng carefully looked at the young man in front of him and said with a smile: "Your name is Guo Fan?"

"Yes!"

"Are you very fond of science fiction?"

"Yeah!" Guo Fan was a little puzzled, but still responded.

Jiang Heng said: "I have thought about making a science fiction film with more Chinese elements. You like science fiction so much, are you interested in learning from me?"

When Guo Fan heard this, he was completely dumbfounded!

The other guests, reporters and even the audience were also dumbfounded.

How could such a good thing happen to me when I came out for an interview?
"Director Jiang, is what you said true?"

Guo Fan wanted to agree immediately, but this matter was a little outrageous, so he had to ask for clarification.

Jiang Heng smiled and said, "Since there are not many directors in China who like to make special effects blockbusters and are capable of making them, iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures are planning to open a director training class. After passing the training class, you can first work as an assistant director with the crew, and within one to three years you will have the opportunity to become a director."

Guo Fan immediately took off his press card, held it in his hand and shouted loudly: "Director Jiang, I sign up, I sign up, I want to learn from you!"

When everyone in the venue saw this, many of them were envious, and more than a dozen people shouted that they wanted to sign up.

Most people still consider their own talents, preferences, and current job situations and dare not take up this opportunity.

The other directors present looked at each other, with different thoughts in their minds.

Zhang Yimou thought: "Is he going to establish a school and become a master?"

Feng Xiaogang pondered: "Director Jiang, do you think that making money alone is too slow, so you should take on a few more apprentices to occupy the market?"

Jiang Wen just felt that Jiang Heng was so domineering at the moment, and was very suitable for the male lead of the new film he was preparing. It was a pity that he was too young, otherwise they could really play opposite each other.

Jia Zhangke wondered: "What gave him this idea? Was he going to copy the 'Wireless Artist Training Class' and build his own film empire?"
