Chapter 316 Fighter and Aircraft Carrier
In the huge premiere theater, junior student Zhou Qiao looked at the big screen with anticipation.
He is a fan of military films, but the ones he watches are basically Hollywood classics such as "Black Hawk Down", "The Bourne Supremacy", "Tears of the Sun", "Behind Enemy Lines", and "The Rock".
As for domestic films, he has seen the "The Great Battle" trilogy, especially the first one, which he has watched countless times and many classic lines can be recited by heart.
Unfortunately, there are too few exciting domestic military films in recent years.
He went to see last year's "Assembly" and felt it was not very satisfying because the main selling point of the film was not a particular battle, and the war scenes were just so-so.
I also wrote a film review analyzing why Hollywood military films are better and posted it on Douban.
To sum up, the battle scenes in Hollywood military films are more intense. For example, "Black Hawk Down" is a street fight, "Tears of the Sun" is a jungle fight, and "The Bourne Supremacy" is mainly about infiltration and hand-to-hand combat. In short, the battle scenes are quite exciting.
Secondly, the protagonists have powerful opponents, such as enemy countries, terrorists or high-level traitors within the country. In short, they are powerful organizations rather than brave and aggressive guerrillas.
What attracted his attention most were actually the various cool modern weapons and equipment, such as the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, Ohio-class strategic nuclear submarine, Burke-class missile destroyer, F16 fighter, M1 main battle tank, C130 transport aircraft, Black Hawk helicopter, Global Hawk drone, Hellfire anti-tank missile, etc. Just looking at these, he felt that it was worth the price of the ticket!
Then there are the modern tactical actions, such as various tactical formations, postures, gestures, codes, how the action teams cross-cover each other and advance, how snipers choose positions and lie in ambush, etc., which directly maximize the sense of reality.
In comparison, domestic military films lack a lot.
As a result, no high-scoring modern military film has been produced over the years.
The reason is simple: domestic films find it difficult to capture the important elements of classic Hollywood military films.
For example, regarding the most basic issue of "opponent", apart from the casually filmed "anti-Japanese dramas", other film and television works cannot go against any country. It is too easy to talk about the self-defense counterattack war.
The TV series "Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea", which was invested 2000 million yuan in 3300 and starred 17 people, has been in the back of the box for more than years and cannot be broadcast!
Therefore, whether it is "Escape from the Amazon" or "Wolf Warrior 1", they can only deal with a few idle guerrillas who have nothing better to do. There is no mastermind behind the scenes, no conspiracy theory, and the plot is very bland.
Another thing is that there are no modern weapons to show off, and even if there were any, it would be impossible for them to be used by the crew. It is natural that modern domestic military films are not expected by the market.
Many fans of military films have long given up their expectations.
Until Jiang Heng announced that he would shoot "The King's Avatar", a science fiction war theme.
For quite a long time afterwards, domestic military film fans were in a very excited state.
They were discussing on forums, BBS, and QQ groups what the film Jiang Heng would shoot would look like. It should include an aircraft carrier, right?
It would be worth it if we could see China's aircraft carrier appear in the film.
Compared to other "big directors" who boasted a lot during their promotions but disappointed many audiences after the films were released, Jiang Heng still has a very high reputation.
A group of military film fans have been looking forward to "The King's Avatar" for a long time, and they all said they would go to the cinema to watch it as soon as possible.
But only a few people could get tickets for the premiere, and Zhou Qiao was one of the lucky ones.
Therefore, he doesn't really care about celebrities or promotional tactics.
Just like attending a wedding, he only cares about the "marriage" and pork elbows, and doesn't care about the ceremony!
Fortunately, Jiang Heng and others didn't talk too much nonsense, and finally they waited for the preview to watch the movie.
The lights in the theater dimmed and the big screen lit up.
After the opening animation of Longbiao and iQiyi, Hu Chuan, shirtless and wearing only boxer briefs, appeared in the void in the dark starry sky.
Because it is a 3D version, the sense of reality is quite strong, as if there is really someone standing in front of you. The audience in the venue were a little puzzled, what is going on, let Hu Chuan use his beauty trick, or is he trying to imitate "Terminator"!
But what's the matter with Hu Chuan's silly and stupid expression?
As for words like "sunlight" descending to the earth, "Shenhe gene system" and "invincible body", most viewers find it difficult to understand.
Fortunately, the plot is still understandable. Ge Xiaolun, played by Hu Can, was probably "accidentally injured" in the temple and died during a street fight with Liu Chuang, played by Ding Haifeng. Some system in his body saved him.
However, the black armor that the system gave Ge Xiaolun still looks very handsome.
After the "repair" was completed, Ge Xiaolun returned to reality and fought with Liu Chuang in the alley.
Neither of them noticed how strong they were. For example, Liu Chuang dismantled the air conditioner outdoor unit with his bare hands, and Ge Xiaolun's head was stuck in the concrete floor after being hit, but it seemed nothing happened.
The audience kept exclaiming, this fight was both clumsy and powerful!
Then, the policewoman Qilin, played by Clara, and two other colleagues appeared on the scene.
The young lady wore a hat, a blue short-sleeved shirt and a black short skirt. She looked heroic and had a proud figure, instantly attracting the attention of most of the audience.
"Wow, where did Director Jiang find these actors? They have such great bodies!"
"She's pretty good-looking, too, and a bit fierce!"
"She should be the cute type, but her stern face is really cool!"
The audience was talking about it, and in the guest seats, Clara, who played Qilin, was very excited.
She is just a small internet celebrity in Korea, and at her best she was just the second female lead in a TV drama.
Now, as the first female character to appear in "The King's Avatar" with such a good image, there is no doubt that she will become a little famous.
In fact, not only the audience, but also some bosses and directors present noticed Clara's beauty.
Wang Zhonglei's eyes lit up, and he murmured, "What a lucky guy, to find such a beautiful woman!"
On the big screen, a very handsome white fighter jet with a very modern and technological feel flew across the sky, instantly making many viewers "energized".
Especially military fan Zhou Qiao, who couldn't help but say: "What the hell, what kind of fighter is this? The American F16 fighter doesn't look as good as it. How was this filmed?"
It seemed that for a moment, his mind was filled with thoughts about this "non-existent" fighter jet, and even Rose, played by Liu Yifei, did not attract him very much.
Because a more exciting and shocking scene appeared.
That is the fighter jet piloted by Qiangwei, which is about to land on the USS Juxia aircraft carrier of the South China Sea Fleet.
But on the vast and calm sea, there was an aircraft carrier formation parked quietly.
Among them, the USS Grand Canyon has a very tall hull and a long deck, and most importantly, there are more white fighter jets parked on it.
Qiangwei flew the fighter jet gracefully across the sky and then landed steadily on the deck.
After a few beautiful cut shots, the audience in the venue was boiling with excitement.
