Chapter 1484 1586. Ordinary Hero
The climax of the whole movie is still the part of passing through the cumulonimbus.
When the huge cumulonimbus with lightning in the black appears on the big screen, the audience feels a sense of oppression just by looking at it.
In this part, Nie Wei also uses a forward shot from a distant view to a close shot.
The huge cumulonimbus covers most of the screen, as if there is no end in sight. However, the plane that looks huge in the public is as small as an ant when facing the cumulonimbus.
As the camera moves forward, this feeling of insignificance not only does not disappear, but becomes bigger and bigger.
Why are some statues in the temple so tall? It is because huge things are often easier to make people amazed. This is the nature engraved in human bones. In the history of human evolution, individual life is actually very fragile, so it is easier to have a feeling of worship, awe, etc. for huge things.
Nie Wei formally took advantage of this human nature, so when this shot is pushed forward, a "looking up" shot is used.
Facing the vast and boundless cumulonimbus, at this moment anyone will feel their own insignificance.
This feeling of awe of nature can also make people feel distressed unconsciously. Many viewers even had their hearts in their throats at this moment. They knew the result was good, but they couldn't help but feel trembling from the heart.
The plane finally plunged into the cumulonimbus cloud, because this was the only way back.
The cumulonimbus cloud is undoubtedly the climax of the whole movie, because this is the most difficult part of this disaster film, just like playing a copy, at the last moment, this is the big BOSS that needs to be challenged.
For the handling of this plot, Nie Wei used a very special method, that is, the combination of movement and stillness.
Stillness is that the inside of the airport suddenly stopped, and everyone was suspended at this moment. Everyone's face revealed fear, frustration, regret, etc.
It's like a mural, showing the emotions of human beings when facing disasters.
And the so-called movement is the sound of lightning and thunder outside.
The lightning flashed across, shining the airport white, but it brought people not hope but fear.
The thunder rumbled and played the war song. For everyone in the airport, it seemed like a person facing thousands of troops alone.
No one wants to be a hero for a second. Everyone wants to survive.
The sound of the plane shaking and squeezing under pressure makes people feel very uncomfortable, like the sound of nails scratching glass, and the audience's brows are involuntarily frowned.
Li Lu grabbed the armrest of the seat, her expression was also very uncomfortable, and she even felt that she couldn't breathe smoothly. The tension made her feel a little short of oxygen.
This feeling seemed to last for a moment, and it seemed to last for a century. It was not until the plane broke through the cumulonimbus cloud and the real light appeared at that moment that Li Lu breathed a long sigh of relief.
And beside her, there were all sounds of relief.
The sound of thunder, the suppressed squeezing sound of steel, combined with the quietness in the airport, the darkness in the clouds and the great light at the moment of breaking through, this kind of interweaving, constantly touched people's hearts.
Li Lu couldn't help but sigh at the moment of relaxation. Nie Wei's clever conception of this climax plot really made her amazed.
"This is art, real film art." Li Lu thought to herself.
After overcoming this last difficulty, Nie Wei did not neglect the following story line. Although there was a touch of surviving the disaster, it was not all.
Many of the foreshadowings that were buried at the beginning were also explained at the end.
What moved Li Lu the most was the captain's words after the plane landed safely. It was very simple, we survived.
This was a very ordinary sentence, but it was meaningful to them at this moment. Looking at the three men on the screen who were relieved at the same time, the audience on the scene also smiled.
The ending was very warm. The captain's daughter appeared at the door of the hotel room with a birthday cake. The first sentence the father and daughter said when they met was, "Dad, this is the birthday cake I specially left for you."
"Oh, thank you, dear." The captain picked up his daughter, smiled happily, and let his daughter smear the cream on the cake on his face.
Li Lu likes this ending very much. It is not great, very ordinary, but very heartwarming.
She believes that whether it is the people in the play or the people watching the movie, what they need is not a great and brilliant ending, but the warmth of this scene in front of them.
After surviving the disaster, the captain is a hero in everyone's eyes, but for the captain, he is actually more like a husband, a father, and a person who needs the warmth of family to comfort.
What makes Li Lu commendable is that although this movie is a movie that is partial to personal heroism, it does not make the protagonist a pure hero.
When the disaster happened, he did not shout out any great slogans. He was thinking about one thought from beginning to end, that is, to stay alive.
It is this seemingly insignificant thought, but in Li Lu's view, for a person, this is the real and the most important.
There are actually quite a few hero movies this year, but those protagonists are all the same in Li Lu's view.
They all have noble personalities, sacrifice themselves for others, are not afraid of life and death, and are brave to take responsibility. These are all very noble qualities in Li Lu's view, but all of them are concentrated in one character, which makes people feel too detached from the feeling of a "person".
Can't heroes be flawless?
Iron Man has a sharp tongue and is a playboy, but that doesn't stop him from saving the entire universe. In Li Lu's opinion, a hero should be multifaceted. He has outstanding advantages, but he can't be without shortcomings.
The character is too perfect, but it loses its human touch, so Li Lu loves the captain played by Cheng Kun.
On the other hand, Feng Xiaopao also gave his final evaluation after watching the movie. He used one word, excellent.
"A very good movie, Nie Wei is very good." Director Feng praised, completely ignoring Boss Wang's black face. Of course, it may not be seen because the lights in the screening room are not on yet.
"Eh? There are Easter eggs." Xu Fan suddenly said.
Director Feng refocused his attention on the big screen, and sure enough, another story began.
It was a year later, and the story of each member of the crew was extended again.
Everyone gathered together to eat hot pot, and everyone asked the captain to say a few words.
The captain couldn't resist everyone, so he stood up with a glass of wine and said with a smile: "The weather conditions on the route are good, and the weather in the mountain city is also very good. I am very happy to carry out this flight mission with you."
A simple sentence, accompanied by the sound of clinking glasses, the scene changed, an airplane soared in the blue sky, and the call of 8633 sounded. Everything was so plain, but reassuring.
The subtitles scrolled, and photos appeared one after another. These photos were all of Captain Liu and his crew members. The subtitles scrolled until the last moment, and a few vigorous and powerful big words appeared on the big screen.
"Salute to ordinary heroes." Xu Fan whispered.
"Perfect." Director Feng changed his words. In his opinion, Nie Wei really did the best in this film. If it were him, he thought he couldn't shoot to this extent.
"It will be a big hit." Boss Wang muttered to himself while sitting in a chair, but he didn't want to be heard by Director Feng next to him.
The latter said with a smile: "It will definitely be a big hit. Such a good movie will at least cost 200 million... no, at least 3 billion."
"After all, this is Nie Wei's movie." Director Feng sighed, and stood up and left before the lights in the theater were on.
Xu Fan followed closely, but when he walked into the aisle, he found that Boss Wang was still sitting in his seat.
"Boss Wang, it's time to go." Xu Fan patted Boss Wang and reminded him in a low voice.
"Yes, let's go."
When Boss Wang stood up and left, he turned around and looked at the audience sitting in the theater. Everyone was talking excitedly. Although it was not clear, they were undoubtedly some praises. As the lights came on, everyone's face was filled with joy after watching a good movie.
At this moment, Boss Wang suddenly regretted it. Was it really right to "drive Nie Wei away"?
If he hadn't done it at the beginning, would he also be sharing this joy now?
Boss Wang thought about his gray hair, and a feeling of sadness could not be suppressed from his heart. However, no matter how sad and regretful he was, he knew it was useless. Nie Wei could not return to Huayi, and this glory could not belong to him.
When he retracted his sight, Boss Wang suddenly paused, and felt that he saw a familiar figure, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was unlikely. In addition, the lights were on. Although he was not a star, he often appeared on camera, and he was afraid of being recognized, so he hurriedly left the theater.
In the corner where his sight paused just now, there were two people sitting there wearing masks and glasses. Everyone else stood up and left, but they were the only ones who did not move.
"Sissi, have you thought it through?"
"Disney's invitation this time is really sincere. Director Caro really appreciates you and directly designated you as the protagonist of the big production "Mulan". "
"Director Caro is a female director. She is very good at shooting female roles and exploring the different beauty of actresses. In addition, the reputation of the predecessor of this movie, that animated movie, is so excellent. Wouldn't you regret missing this role?"
Mother Lin persuaded her daughter beside her earnestly.
Disney launched the animation adaptation of live-action movies. This time, it was the classic "Mulan", and the unexpected surprise came.
Lin Yifei's mentor at the college recommended her to Niki Caro, the director of this movie. After watching Lin Yifei's work, Niki Caro admired Lin Yifei very much and directly designated her as the heroine of this new film.
After receiving this news, Mother Lin knew that this was an important moment for her daughter to go international.
The only headache for her was that Lin Yifei had been in China during this period and did not seem to have the intention to come to the United States to develop, which made Mother Lin very anxious.
She was really afraid that her daughter would do something stupid, and would rather play a supporting role in China than come to Hollywood to play the leading role in this Disney masterpiece.
Lin Yifei silently listened to her mother's nagging in her ear, looking at the big screen that had already darkened, with a lot of thoughts in her heart.
During this period of time, her heart has been restless, but at this time, she also knows that it is time to make a decision.
Lin Yifei took out her mobile phone and edited a message, which mainly said that she had received an invitation from Disney's "Mulan", and then sent it to Nie Wei.
About a minute later, Lin Yifei received a text message.
"Xixi, congratulations!"
Lin Yifei looked at these five simple words and was lost in thought for a long time, until the people in the screening room were almost gone, and her mother Lin on the side was waiting anxiously, and patted her shoulder to let her come back to her senses.
With a bitter smile on her lips, Lin Yifei looked at her mother and decided: "Mom, I'll go back to Hollywood and play Mulan."
"No, what's wrong with staying in China... um? You mean you agreed?" Mother Lin thought her daughter was going to stay in China and wanted to persuade her again, but suddenly she felt that she heard a positive answer and asked hurriedly.
Lin Yifei nodded.
"Great, girl, you finally figured it out." Mother Lin happily took out her mobile phone, and while looking through the phone book, she said happily: "I'll call Director Carlo and tell her the good news."
Lin Yifei smiled and nodded.
There was not a single star in the dark sky, and the bright moon was also shrouded in smoke. The air condition in Kyoto was obviously very bad today.
But Shu Chang was very happy. She felt very happy to watch a movie with Nie Wei, and she was even happier when she heard the audience around her praising her husband.
When she went home, Nie Wei agreed to walk on the street with her, which was simply double the happiness.
Until a text message notification interrupted the sweet moment between the two.
Nie Wei took out his phone, opened the text message, and stopped the next moment.
Shu Chang took Nie Wei's arm, and when Nie Wei stopped, she was also stopped, and couldn't help asking curiously: "What's wrong?"
"Xixi's text message said that she was going to Hollywood, and Disney invited her to be the heroine of the new film." Nie Wei handed the phone to Shu Chang and said.
"This is a good thing." Shu Chang replied happily.
As an actress, she knew very well how difficult it was for a Chinese actress to play the heroine of a Hollywood movie. At this moment, she was happy for Lin Yifei from the bottom of her heart.
"This girl, why did you only send it to you and not to me." Shu Chang couldn't help complaining when she returned the phone.
Nie Wei was thoughtful, and heard the girl's complaint, and just smiled.
"Let's congratulate together." Nie Wei said with a smile, and his fingers quickly pressed a few keys on the virtual keyboard, and a simple string of congratulations text messages was completed.
After pressing the send button, Nie Wei put away his phone, took Shu Chang's hand and said, "Wife, should we check again after a while to see if it's a boy or a girl? We can think of a name early."
"Yeah, actually I have several ideas, I'll tell you..."
