Six Hundred and Eighty-Four - What Is a Dimensionality Reduction Attack?

The black Mercedes-Benz sedan slowly parked in front of the 70-year-old Capital Cinema. A straight red carpet led directly to the main entrance of the cinema. Thousands of movie fans gathered on one side of the red carpet, or should be called spectators.

On the other side of the red carpet, there were hundreds of reporters from different media. It is worth mentioning that this time it was not just Eastern media, but also reporters from overseas media of different skin colors.

Premieres are still relatively new in the East these days, so the venue was crowded with ordinary people. Everyone was chatting in low voices while waiting for various "celebrities" to walk on the red carpet.

However, whether it is the media or the fans at the scene, what everyone is waiting for is not the so-called big star, but the most famous film director in Hollywood in the East today. Ordinary people's thoughts are very simple. They look closely at the foreigner who talks about authentic Beijing movies.

The celebrities who have been invited by China Film and Warner Brothers and have walked down the red carpet dressed up in their attire are like watching a peep show in the eyes of movie fans. In fact, many people can't understand why such a cumbersome ceremony is required. Why not just have fun? Let everyone go in to watch the movie, but this does not prevent everyone from arousing curiosity.

The door of the black Mercedes-Benz sedan was opened by the staff. The media reporters raised their cameras almost in tacit agreement. The fans who were far away stretched their necks one by one, trying to see clearly what was ahead.

Tonight's protagonist, Wayne, was wearing a black suit. In order to show the importance of this event, Nina specially tied a bow tie around his neck. To the surprise of many reporters, he stepped out of the car, straightened the buttons of his suit jacket, and then did not walk onto the red carpet. Instead, he bowed slightly like an elegant gentleman and extended his left hand to the car door.

Then a white hand came out, and then an oriental girl wearing a bright red half-length evening dress was helped out of the car with a sweet smile.

"Hey, relax."

The moment the two of them walked onto the red carpet, they couldn't see anything clearly in front of their eyes, which was filled with white and flashing flashlights. Wayne could clearly see the difference. The moment the flashbulb flashed, the muscles of the girl holding his arm immediately tensed up, as if she didn't even know which foot to step first when walking.

“There are more reporters than I thought.”

Miss Rihaya took a deep breath and explained in a low voice to the man next to her. "This is the first time I have walked on the red carpet, and it is also the first time I have faced so many media reporters. Sorry, Honey. I feel like my heart has reached my throat now."

"If you want to be a big star, you first have to learn how to face the flash. Shit, don't look at me! Keep your smile and look at those reporters."

Miss Rihaya's performance at this moment reminded Wayne of Naomi Watts back then. When they first walked on the red carpet, they faced the same nervousness. So he rarely slowed down his pace and whispered to the women around him what they should pay attention to.

"Take a deep breath, relax, yes, you did a good job, pay attention to your evening dress, don't let reporters take photos of you naked at this time..."

In Hollywood, the things actors should pay attention to when walking on the red carpet have actually been mentioned by their agents. For example, when facing a strong flash, normal people will not be able to see clearly. Especially for female celebrities, the most important thing is to ensure the elegance of facial expressions.

"The Point Guard Is Here"

But even so, there are still many ugly photos taken of hideous faces on the red carpet, and scenes of exposure.

The red carpet is the main arena for female stars to compete for beauty, so many female stars are particularly unrestrained and bold when choosing dresses. But these hand-made custom-made dresses bring sexiness and charm, and they also become a layer of restraint on female celebrities. If they are not careful, they will fall into the embarrassment of being exposed.

Tonight, Miss Rizao wore a low-cut, tight-fitting evening dress for the first time. The bright red color paired with her youthful and beautiful figure made her look like a beautiful and sexy ball of flame.

Just as the two walked on the red carpet and cooperated with the media to take photos, a reporter in the media interview area stretched his neck and looked at them and begged. "Didn't the advance notice mean that Wayne Greenberg is the only one..."

But before he finished cooing, the chatter of two foreign reporters beside him reached his ears.

"Ha, Costa, I won the bet! Two hundred dollars, please remember to give it to me after work. Let me just say, with Wayne Greenberg's romantic nature, no matter where he goes, he will definitely find a hot guy. Girl."

"F**k you, Fu Lai, you're such a lucky guy, I'll give it to you after the interview." Then another foreigner's indignant voice rang out.

"This Oriental girl has a very delicate face." Fu Lai, the foreign reporter who won the bet, said enthusiastically again: "Would you like to make another bet? I bet that this girl will appear in Hollywood within a few months. Appear in Wayne Greenberg’s own projects or projects he’s invested in!”

"No! I can't be stupid again."

Costa, a reporter from NBC, waved his hand and curled his lips in disdain. Everyone in Hollywood knows that when it comes to women, Wayne Greenberg is the most reliable businessman. Almost every woman who climbs into his bed gets valuable information that makes countless actors jealous. Chance.

Leaving aside Naomi Watts, who has become half the owner of Greenberg Manor, Halle Berry, the black pearl, the goddess of countless North American otakus, Charlize Theron, the South African diamond, and Cameron, whose acting career is booming - Diaz, arguably the woman with whom Wayne Greenberg had an affair, is more or less completely famous.

Seeing that the short red carpet was about to end, Costa raised his arm and poked his companion. "Shut up, Fu Lai, and get ready for the next interview. Otherwise, if the two of us go back, we will definitely be peeled off by the boss..."

The reporters who were able to participate in today's interview basically had a pass in spoken English. Several reporters heard the chat between the two of them, but they all chose to shake their heads secretly. Everyone knew that they were different from the foreign reporters around them. Even if some things are written, there is no way to publish them.

Compared with the newspaper reporters who were waiting for them, a female reporter standing in front of the red carpet was much more active. From the moment the two Waynes walked on the red carpet, she kept talking to the cameras around her.

"Good evening, Phoenix TV viewers. The place I am at right now is the Capital Cinema. You can see that there are thousands of viewers gathered in front of the Capital Cinema tonight, and a movie event is going on here. Now go up On the red carpet is the famous Hollywood director Wayne Greenberg. This is his second time in the East. Tonight, his new work "The Flash" will have its grand premiere at the Capital Cinema... ..."

Following the female reporter's words, the live broadcast camera turned slightly and focused on the man who was constantly waving to the fans. The man in the live broadcast shot was wearing a decent slim-fitting suit, with a neat round head of no more than two centimeters in length. He had a smile on his tough face and was walking forward with powerful steps.

"Tonight's premiere has received unprecedented attention. Not only are there thousands of fans, dozens of Chinese and foreign media reporters, but also many familiar faces."

Following the female reporter's introduction, the camera turned in time and swept across several guests standing at the entrance of the theater watching the excitement. The camera didn't stop and then focused on the absolute protagonist on the red carpet.

This female reporter from Phoenix Satellite TV is obviously from Xiangjiang, but she speaks Mandarin very fluently. Even though Wayne and Wayne have already entered the media interview area, they are still talking to the camera. "The previous year's "The Dark Knight" caused an unparalleled response around the world, and was also loved by a large number of fans here.

Tonight's "The Flash" directed by Wayne Greenberg is also highly anticipated by Eastern movie fans. According to the latest information obtained by our reporter, "The Flash" has been released in the North American theater market for three weeks, and the total box office in North America has reached a terrifying US$246.78 million!

In just three weeks, "The Flash" has grossed nearly $250 million at the box office in North America, which shows how popular this film is with movie fans. Tonight is lucky for us, because this fan-favorite "The Flash" will be released in major theaters across the country in twenty minutes..."

Not only the female reporter focused on the box office of "The Flash", but everyone who paid attention to this news was incredible at the brilliant box office that "The Flash" has achieved.

In front of the Capital Cinema, the National Master looked at the foreigner who was being interviewed and the man who acted as a vase with a smile. The heroine of his own movie sighed: "The box office is more than 240 million US dollars! This foreigner knows how the audience likes to watch. what."

Jiang Xiaojun on the side turned his head, glanced at him, and said in a low voice: "I'm just afraid that if he does this, he can still get through our side unimpeded."

The meaning of his words was very clear. Several people present had thought that if Hollywood blockbusters were continuously introduced, it would undoubtedly squeeze the living space of local films. Audiences who are accustomed to Hollywood blockbusters will inevitably lose interest in local films. The first ones to be harmed are film directors like them.

"There is a high probability that there will be no accidents."

Lou Gongzi, who is famous for shooting banned films, twitched the corner of his mouth a few times. He looked at the foreigners surrounded by reporters, shook his head and said: "I have watched all his movies, especially the early ones. They are violent, bloody, The dark and depressing themes and reflections on society's manipulation of human nature are indeed full of very special charm.

If we talk about his early movies, he still focused on "artistic pursuits." Since he started shooting superhero movies, he has gradually moved closer to popularization and commercialization. My overseas friends, after watching "The Flash", commented that it was the ultimate in commercial special effects films, completely abandoning all artistic pursuits.

In addition, this guy is a China expert, so there is no way he doesn’t understand the tastes of Eastern audiences. I think it is impossible to expect that the films he shoots will not conform to the aesthetics of our audience, hey..."

Mr. Lou’s words caused everyone present to fall silent. Until the national master turned around and walked towards the theater, he said: "Let's go and watch a Hollywood movie. What magic is there that can earn 250 million US dollars in less than a month?"

Several people turned around, no longer watching the media interviews that were about to end, and walked to the screening room in silence, waiting for the official screening of "The Flash".

But they are not the only ones who are staring at tonight's protagonist. Excluding "The Dark Knight," which was a small hit in the first year, tonight's premiere should be the first major movie premiere in this land. China Film not only invited some local celebrities, but also Invitations were sent to Hong Kong filmmakers.

Although not many filmmakers in Hong Kong accepted the invitation, there was an actress with a very delicate and beautiful face who tried her best to get the invitation.

So from the moment Wayne walked on the red carpet, there was a Hong Kong actress watching him. This process lasted until the film officially started, and then she transferred her curious eyes to the big screen and cooed. "Do you still remember me..."

Tonight's activities were relatively intensive. Wayne had to undergo brief interviews, take photos, greet some people from the organizer and other routine tasks within a very tight period of time. I sat in the middle of the first row of the theater.

There is no way, because the main creator of the film is still far away in Europe for promotion, and he is the only one who comes here. Coupled with the special emotions at play, he basically tries his best to meet all the requirements of media reporters.

So when the two of them sat down in the front row of the theater, led by Warner Bros. staff, the movie was about to start.

The lights in the huge screening room gradually went out, and the title animation lit up on the big screen. The chaotic chatter and discussions slowly disappeared, and everyone's attention was focused on the movie at the beginning.

The story of "The Flash" is simple, and the editing pace is different from the fast pace of this era. The movie only took ten minutes to attract the entire audience in the theater.

Wayne carefully observed the expressions of everyone around him, and from time to time looked back at the general audience at the back. The corners of his mouth slowly began to turn up, revealing a reassuring smile. Obviously, the mainstream commercial film production method that I came up with only appeared more than ten years ago, which is also in line with the tastes of Eastern audiences.

When the film came to the first Little High Nest, Barry Allen accidentally gained superpowers and tested them with the help of everyone in the laboratory. When a series of dumbfounding accidents unfolded, the national master sitting in the third row sighed. , the entire upper body leaned into the chair.

The lightning and explosion special effects that just covered the entire screen seemed to overflow from the big screen, and everything seemed to be happening in front of my eyes. Everyone knows that the movie is fake, but the explosion of the particle accelerator and the chaotic dance of lightning on the big screen are so real that people cannot even raise doubts.

"The Hollywood film industry..."

Mr. Lou, who was sitting next to him, turned his head, looked at the Imperial Master and sighed in a low voice: "It's incredible, it's incredible. Even if I have seen countless Hollywood blockbusters before, I have never experienced such shocking special effects."

"That's right."

The national master turned his head, smiled bitterly and said: "Even I never thought that a movie could be shot like this. The effect is really amazing. Those things seem to be happening in front of my eyes..."

At this time, not to mention ordinary movie fans, even sober movie directors like them were shocked by such realistic special effects.

The emergence of conflicts on the big screen, hurricanes, explosions, and the blood-red lightning incarnated by Barry Allen from time to time, are like a heavy hammer, constantly hitting the hearts of the audience.

Every time the special effects that fill the screen appear, movie fans feel an indescribable impact. Coupled with the drum-beating background score, everyone is deeply immersed in the story and feels An unprecedented movie viewing experience.

In fact, every frame of the ultimate special effects on the big screen is produced with green dollars. The reason why Wayne chose unknown actors was to invest most of the production funds in special effects modeling and rendering.

Since he has more than 100 million US dollars in his hands, which can be used to invest in special effects, he doesn't even know what saving means. Even if other directors in Hollywood want to copy this kind of gameplay, no film company would dare to have such luxury.

You can save money on everything. In this day and age, only special effects are worth every penny. Putting a scene produced with 20 million US dollars and a scene produced with 50 million US dollars will make a huge difference in the movie-watching experience. .

Especially as the movie progresses, when the final battle scene arrives and the collision of hurricanes and lightning fills the big screen, the film depicts all the details of the friction between hurricanes and lightning with extremely clear shots. Every frame flashes by, as if constantly challenging the audience's heartstrings.

By the time the movie was shown, not to mention other viewers and guests, even Wayne himself felt a sense of shock when looking at the big screen, even though he had watched this scene countless times.

"God, I've never seen such a shocking movie!"

Miss Rihaya, who had been very quiet throughout the screening, turned her head to look at the man next to her for the first time, her eyes sparkling with something bright, and her tone also contained unabashed admiration and imperceptible yearning. "Oh my God, is this a Hollywood movie? It's incredible."

Hearing the woman's praise, Wayne tilted his head and shrugged, without saying anything. He just raised his finger and pointed at the big screen, signaling the other party to continue watching.

Glancing at the female companion in a bright red evening dress, he still remembered what happened this morning. If nothing unexpected happened, he could stay here for two days. Since the beach was not possible due to conditions, he could continue to try other things. , isn’t it?

After the main film of "The Flash" ends, the voice-over appears at the right time. "In the first half of his life, Barry never caught up with anyone, but now, he is the fastest man in the world. He will use the name The Flash to follow in the footsteps of those legendary superheroes to protect the world. "

When the voice-over ended, the big screen suddenly went dark, and a huge line of letters appeared: "With great power comes great responsibility!"

The film ended, and Barry Allen's city briefly returned to calm. However, many details revealed that his mission had only just begun.

As the subtitles rolled, applause rang out without warning in the entire huge screening room. For the audience present, the movie-watching experience tonight is unprecedented. Many people are in a state of excitement after watching the whole movie.

Audiences are never stingy with their applause, as long as they see a satisfying movie. The applause is so intense that it even covers up the Easter eggs that have already appeared in the movie.

This is very different from North America. Due to their different understanding of the DC series, Eastern movie fans obviously value the viewing experience brought by the feature film more. It wasn't until the background music accompanying Wonder Woman at the end that all the audience slowly focused their attention on the big screen.

When the lights on the ceiling came on and Wayne, alone on behalf of all the crew and creators, walked to the big screen to take his final bow in front of the audience, applause resounded throughout the theater with thousands of people again.

The fans had excitement on their faces and clapped their hands vigorously. Standing under the big screen at this time, Wayne seemed to be surrounded by a sea of ​​applause, with waves of sound constantly hitting his eardrums.

There were no chaotic cheers from North American audiences. Eastern movie fans were reserved, but because of this, the applause seemed particularly neat. He used movies to give all audiences a vivid audio-visual experience, which shocked all movie fans of this era. It was these fans who shocked him as a movie director with their applause expressing their love.

Yes, the film's special effects shots and editing rhythm are a dimensionality reduction blow in this era, but how many times will such applause purely express love for the film appear in future generations?

"After I go back, I will bring all my classmates to watch it again tomorrow. Damn, this movie is simply indescribable..."

"It turns out this is a blockbuster movie, it turns out movies can be performed like this!"

"If I hadn't been sitting in the cinema, I would have doubted that I was next to The Flash just now. Wow, this special effects scene is so touching."

Movie fans lined up to leave the show with satisfaction, discussing the content of the movie with great interest. Some filmmakers looked at these fans and had a clear premonition that this "The Flash" is destined to once again arouse the movie-watching carnival of the Chinese people.

What makes people uncomfortable is that this kind of special effects built purely on the film industry system is completely beyond what we can achieve in a short time now. No one knows how many years it will take for the film industry to catch up with Hollywood.

However, they certainly could not have imagined that Dongfang's market, moviegoers' viewing habits, the construction of the film industry system, and even the integration process of theater companies would develop far faster than they imagined. Even in just a dozen years, this land has already produced its own science fiction movies, and achieved results that attracted the attention of the world.

Many people are still complaining about some gaps, but they ignore that Hollywood movies have developed for a full hundred years, but how many years did it only take for the East to develop into the world's second largest movie market?

The audience was leaving, and some guests were queuing up to send blessings to the foreigner. Jiang Xiaojun glanced at Mr. Lou and said, "Let's talk, what can we gain?"

Unexpectedly, Mr. Lou spat directly. "Fart harvest."

Obviously he asked the wrong person. Let alone now, even after the market developed, this person has never been able to watch commercial films.

"We also need our own commercial blockbusters!"

The Imperial Master stretched out his hand, patted the shoulders of the two people next to him, and took the lead to walk towards the Hollywood movie director. If possible, he really wanted to chat with him, because the fire in his heart was that of a commercial blockbuster. Need to keep adding firewood.
