"No way, the whole picture from now on won't be with this kind of precision, right?"

"How much will these set props and special effects cost?"

Lu Xiaoping was confused because the details of "Mission and Choice" far exceeded his expectations!

Although Lu Xiaoping had heard some rumors before that Tengda had invested heavily in new movies this time, he just listened casually and did not take it seriously.

Because bragging is the norm in the industry.

Just like when marching and fighting in ancient times, one hundred thousand people could be exaggerated into five hundred thousand. Anyway, blow out the numbers first, and you can deceive as many as you can.

A movie costs a lot of money to buy IP and hire big-name actors, and then add publicity and marketing funds into it. It is said that hundreds of millions have been invested, but in fact there is not much money actually spent on film production.

.

Lu Xiaoping originally thought that "Mission and Choice" was just a domestic science fiction movie, and the ceiling for domestic science fiction movies had always been there, not very high at all.

But now, Lu Xiaoping feels confused.

Is this really a domestic movie?

The details in this work are indistinguishable from those Hollywood blockbusters that cost huge sums of money!

Could it be said that "Mission and Choice" really saved all the IP money and the salaries of the big-name actors, as well as the publicity funds, and actually invested all the money in the production of the film?

Thinking of this possibility, Lu Xiaoping had only one thought: crazy!

This is not only an adventure, it is simply suicide!

If other crews did this, it would be almost tantamount to seeking death. Of course, it is impossible for the crew to do this, because the management would never agree to it.

But Tengda is different.

Obviously, Feihuang Studio is not committing suicide. They dare to do this because they have strong confidence in the movie "Mission and Choice" and believe that it can beat its peers even without regular publicity.

All games on schedule, Deus Ex!

Lu Xiaoping realized that there was a big problem with his judgment!

He previously thought that "Mission and Decision" was postponed because he was not confident and wanted to avoid the Golden Week schedule, but now he realizes how this is possible?

The quality of this film is such that it would kill everyone if it were released during the Golden Week. How could you be afraid of "Battleships"?

The situation is not good...

Lu Xiaoping continued to look down with great anxiety.

…

The plot that follows can be said to be full of twists and turns, one after another, without any surprises throughout, and full of various twists and turns, making it dizzying to watch.

The story line of the entire movie revolves around the character Qin Yi, and the emotions of the audience are all affected by the character Qin Yi.

Although it was a one-man show, Lu Zhiyao fully supported the role through his acting skills and successfully completed the task of mobilizing the audience's emotions.

The whole story can be roughly divided into the following stages:

In the first stage, Qin Yi became the commander. Through simulated battles, he learned about the previous battles and defeats between humans and Zerg, understood the necessity of communication between the commander and Ansebo, accepted the position of commander, and trained carefully.

In the second stage, after being fully familiar with the operation of the console, Qin Yi began to conduct simulation training. Everything went smoothly at first, but when the "simulation elements" were added, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse and the human army was defeated. In order to improve the winning rate, Qin Yi slowly

I started to get used to accepting data and suggestions from AEEIS, and gradually turned into an emotionless command machine.

In the third stage, Qin Yi saw the scene of his original AS-371-45 team performing a mission, and finally made the same decision as the previous commander. Qin Yi finally understood the previous commander’s intentions through conflicts and struggles.

behavior and made many painful choices in order to win.

In the fourth stage, everyone thought Qin Yi was ready, but what they got in return was a more brutal slap in the face. In the final battle simulation, even if the command was conducted in full accordance with AEEIS's recommendations, humans were still retreating steadily.

.

Qin Yi almost fell into a state of collapse. He no longer believed that mankind could win this war. No matter whether he deceived or not, no matter what command method he adopted, he could not win the war.

In the fifth stage, Qin Yi realized that it was wrong to use cold data to measure the value of each person. The original command method did improve combat efficiency to a certain extent, but using Zerg tactics to fight against Zerg wanted to turn all soldiers into

It is absolutely impossible to succeed as a cold machine. Therefore, Qin Yi chose to tell all the soldiers the truth, and used a speech in desperate situations to re-energize everyone's faith, and the war took a turn for the better again.

In the sixth stage, high-intensity thinking overwhelmed Qin Yi's body. In a coma, he felt the insect nest consciousness. The Queen of the Insects showed him the truth of the past. It turned out that the war between humans and the Insects was started by humans, and the Insects were instigated by humans.

The Queen's behavior in the insect nest was an attempt to communicate with Qin Yi, but she failed until now.

Qin Yi made a conciliatory move on the surface, but actually deceived the Zerg Queen and carried out a beheading operation, directly establishing victory.

In the seventh stage, Qin Yi, who thought the war was over and wanted to evacuate, was betrayed. The command ship he was riding rushed into the insect swarm and committed suicide. Unexpectedly, after all the secondary queens were beheaded, he, who had the consciousness of the insect hive, became an insect.

A new brain.

At the end of the film, there are actually two suspense left.

The first suspense is, was it the executive committee or AEEIS that decided to betray Qin Yi?

What AEEIS said to Qin Yi put the blame entirely on the Supreme Executive Committee, creating a feeling of "the cunning rabbit dies and the lackeys cook". However, in the meeting scene of the Supreme Executive Committee, AEEIS said

It was Qin Yi who took the initiative to seek death, and the committee members all showed great regret.

There are obviously two possibilities: one is that AEEIS deceived both Qin Yi and the Supreme Executive Committee, and effortlessly killed a human military genius, clearing the way for itself to take over all human armies in the future.

There are obstacles; the other is that some people in the Supreme Executive Committee gave instructions to AEEIS and acted hypocritically.

These two possibilities respectively hint at two different sequels of the future "Omnic Crisis" or "Civil War".

The second suspense is that Qin Yi, who is in the body of the Leviathan beast, has inherited the insect nest consciousness, and his body has been transformed by the insect race and turned into a special life form. He is a soldier and has natural loyalty to humans.

, but suffered the most shameful betrayal.

Will Qin Yi choose to lead the insect swarm in revenge? Or will he embark on another path? Can he still be called a human? How will he understand himself?

These contents will obviously be left to be revealed later.

…

The grand scene of the interstellar war dazzled all the audience. Some people were even immersed in such shocking emotions and even forgot to exclaim.

From the initial defeat when humans encountered the insect swarm, to small-scale simulation training, and finally to the large-scale battle in the vast starry sky and the surface of the planet...

All war scenes in the movie are gradual and constantly escalating. The audience followed Captain Qin Yi from weak to strong, and witnessed step by step the protracted and grand war between humans and Zerg in the universe.

What shocked Lu Xiaoping was that although the special effects of this movie were very cool, it was obviously not just special effects.

This movie also does a great job in telling the story and stimulating the audience's emotions!

Although overall, the war scenes in the movie are constantly escalating, the emotional tone of each stage is constantly ups and downs, like a wavy line, with peaks and troughs, showing a spiral rising in fluctuations.

The state is completely unpredictable.

Other movies often show these contents through conflicts between characters. For example, when a team is in trouble, members of a team with different personalities come up with different solutions. Fierce arguments can make the audience in front of the screen become irritable.

And in the end, when everyone agrees and overcomes difficulties, the audience will feel that their emotions are released.

This is a commonly used routine in many literary and artistic works. Although it is old-fashioned, it is easy to use and has no risks.

But in "Mission and Choice", Lu Zhiyao single-handedly supported the emotional tone of the movie through his own performance and his role with the cold artificial intelligence electronic sound AEEIS!

This feeling reminded Lu Xiaoping of a one-man show movie two years ago. It tells the story of the protagonist who was buried alive in a coffin in the desert. He was constantly exploring throughout the process, using various props around him to survive, and finally saw the light of day.

When it arrives, all that awaits is despair.

In that movie, the whole process was a one-man show by the protagonist, but it brought continuous suspense to the audience. The unique perspective, superb shots, and twists and turns of the plot made the movie successfully win the award that year.

It was a box office miracle, with a box office of 20 million U.S. dollars at a cost of 3 million U.S. dollars, and it was a great success.

And "Mission and Choice" is similar to this movie to a certain extent.

The protagonists of both movies are trapped in a small space. Facing the unknown fate, they are trying hard to fight. Although they fail time and time again, they are still persevering.

They all withstood the test of their acting skills in a one-man show, and supported the entire emotional context of the movie by themselves, and also allowed the audience to be perfectly involved in the movie.

The difficulty of this kind of performance is very high. It is like a big gamble, putting all the chips on the same round. Once successful, you will make a lot of money, but once you fail, it means losing all your money.

The difference between the two lies in the emotional tone.

The protagonist was buried alive in a coffin, which was extremely narrow. The despair he endured came from both mental and physical torture. The audience, like the protagonist, had a severely limited perspective and was in a state of confinement, depression, and despair throughout the whole process.

in the state.

Although Qin Yi was in the space capsule, he could see the real situation around him through the holographic image bulkhead, and his vision was not restricted at all. The despair he endured was more of a kind of mental torture, being alone

Bear the pain of human destiny.

Both performances are a severe test for acting skills, but Lu Zhiyao's performance seems to be more difficult.

Because most of the despair that Qin Yi endures comes from the spirit, the entire setting and environment cannot play a much role in enhancing his emotions. At this time, if you want to mobilize the player's emotions, you must completely place your hope on Lu Yaoyao.

's performance.

Fortunately, Lu Zhiyao completed the task very well and gave his most perfect acting skills since his debut.

It even made Lu Xiaoping feel that what he saw was not Lu Zhiyao, but another person, or... Captain Qin Yi himself!

Since starring in "Better Tomorrow", Lu Zhiyao's acting skills have improved by leaps and bounds as if he was cheating.

In the past, many people criticized Lu Zhiyao as "box office poison" and "acting too hard", but from "Better Tomorrow" to "Mission and Decision", Lu Zhiyao's acting skills seem to be constantly improving, from outside to outside.

She has to be restrained, all those exaggerated expressions are gone, replaced by a more delicate psychology and carefully designed micro-expressions, the whole person seems to be completely integrated into the character!

In the last scene of the film, Qin Yi woke up in the incubation tank inside the Leviathan beast, his eyes suddenly opened, and the camera gave a close-up.

There seemed to be too many complicated emotions in his eyes.

In fact, at the beginning of the film, there was also such a close-up, but at that time Qin Yi woke up from the dormant cabin, and at the end, he woke up in the incubation pool inside the Leviathan beast.

The two eyes seem to have something in common, but the background, the appearance of the protagonist, the subtle expressions, especially the eyes, are completely different.

The dormant cabin and incubation tank are like a womb, and this shot obviously symbolizes Qin Yi's rebirth.

However, in these two lives, Qin Yi played the roles of human commander and heart of the swarm respectively.

Just like the beginning of the film, this expression at the end also lasts for several seconds before cutting to the next shot.
