SEC Chapter 129 Doomsday
Chapter 129 Doomsday
The script of "The End Is Coming" reminded Gu Yunkai of "Resident Evil".
Gu Yunkai did not have many entertainment activities in his previous life. The only one he is familiar with about zombies and doomsday is the movie series in which the heroine is a cheater.And "The End of the World" happens to be a movie related to zombies, and unlike many inexplicable or radiation or mutation settings, the zombies in "The End of the Day" are also artificially created.
The script is a typical commercial entertainment film structure, and the logic of the story itself is not very strict. For example, the hero Lan, he has a good skill, he can bend a bow and shoot a zombie bird at the moon, and he can shoot a gun to hide from a laser net. Hot and cold weapons are at your fingertips, very skillful, you can get out of adversity, always full of blood and mana, you have a different-dimensional pocket and quiver, you can fight back unarmed, and you never worry about your livelihood when you walk alone. Walk around in full gear.
It seems to be a typical survivalist, but survivalists, a non-mainstream crowd in reality, are unexpectedly popular in movies, especially in disaster movies and horror movies, where the existence of survivalists is nowhere to be seen. Rarely, usually they are responsible for the IQ of the whole plot, they are basically supporting roles, and they are responsible for being killed by the hero and heroine who can only scream and mess around.
And the source of Lan itself is like an individual protagonist under Gu Long's hands. He didn't say anything about his life experience and background at all, as if such a cheat appeared out of thin air. Such a character design is also very suitable for Gu Yunkai. It can be said that everything about Lan They are all created based on Gu Yunkai.Judging from the arrangement of the plot, Lan should be looking for the origin of the doomsday all the way, and he has long anticipated that the doomsday will break out, and he can even be said to be one of the insiders who are more psychologically prepared for the coming of the doomsday.
But other than that, probably for the sake of turning "The End of the World" into a series, there are still many settings in the script, although only the tip of the iceberg is revealed.However, it can be seen that this doomsday is also the result of someone's painstaking construction. These days, villains always want to destroy the world, regardless of whether their own interests will be damaged after destroying the world, as if there are clowns everywhere in the world, but Commercial films don't need to care about these things, and Gu Yunkai naturally doesn't care either.
Lan is probably the protagonist in all of Gu Yunkai's next scripts that doesn't need to use his brain. His main characteristics are handsome and cool, and he is responsible for being sexy and hot. There is a bit of human nature in the plot. Now, this is almost the routine of zombie movies, after all, the theme of zombies is similar.
After the collapse of the social order, people fell into panic and a primitive state of no rules. Before, there were the same kind of cannibalism, and then there were zombies chasing after each other. Under extreme despair and darkness, people ushered in various choices. Some people Choose to cooperate, some people choose to let go of their evil thoughts, and human beings have to face the painful choice after their close people are converted into zombies.
It can even be said that sometimes zombies are not the greatest enemy of human beings, and what human beings have to contend with in the end is themselves.
The whole script is very simple, and there are a lot of action scenes. Gu Yunkai estimated that it can be classified as bloody and terrifying action movies, and drama movies can't be called it. Arranged by people, the main audience of this film is the young audience, so there are many exciting headshots and bloody shots.
These few days have nothing to do, Gu Yunkai either goes downstairs to learn how to act with Weng Lou, or prepares for fitness and practices bow and arrow at home, and he is still waiting for Jian Yuan to go home and play a few games with him.Although the house is big, it is not big and has no sides. It happened that Sharp vacated an empty room and converted it into a bow and arrow shooting range. He was recently obsessed with a super long TV series, and the popular characters in it used bows and arrows. Gu Yunkai When he was playing, he eagerly practiced with him.
However, Sharp, who was very excited the next day, immediately chose to give up. The reason is also very simple. He was too excited to draw the bow on the first day, and could not lift his arm at all on the second day.
Fortunately, there was no job recently, but Finny was still so angry that he came to wipe Sharp's arm with medicinal wine with a livid face.
The explosion of "Light Like the Day" has attracted a lot of people to gossip, and even some directors took the script and wanted to find Gu Yunkai in person, but they were all stopped by Gu Jianyue. There are a few movies with good resources, but Gu Jianyue After discussing with Gu Yunkai, Yue decided to give up and work slowly and meticulously. There are more opportunities now, and many people want to share the fame of "Light Like the Day". It can still be called a big hit and a miracle, but if it fails, it's over.
Not to mention bad schedule arrangements.
Usually, a busy celebrity actor will squeeze two to three filmings at the same time. It can be said that he only allocates a certain number of hours to each film. This kind of situation is more common for traffic stars. ; More dedicated actors usually arrange filming according to the schedule, but they may participate in individual favorite auditions during filming, which is very normal.
Gu Yunkai is a strange flower in the industry. He usually takes his time and only focuses on shooting one character. He will only consider other scripts after the character is shot, so he has missed many good opportunities.But this is also one of the reasons why many colleagues in the industry hate it. Gu Yunkai's foundation and starting point are worse than everyone else, but he lives as he pleases, and he can always act in blockbuster movies.
The vast majority of people attribute this success to the Generalissimo. In the entertainment circle, banquets are indispensable. In addition to movie-related dances, many stars will also hold parties, including directors and even film companies for their own works. Building momentum and so on. In the early days, in order to build a network with Gu Jianyue, Gu Yunkai went a lot. People who make connections come and go, this is an inevitable itinerary. Even after the success of "Light Like the Day", Gu Yunkai also Went to the talc company celebration.
But as soon as he went there, he knew that the drunkard's intention was not to drink. Many high-level officials were very polite to him, but they mentioned "frequently" why Jian Yuan didn't come, and some actors who came to make friends spoke flatteringly. My jealousy and unwillingness are about to overflow.
After similar banquets, Gu Yunkai was not in the mood to go again. For the first time, he felt that being "supported" by the patron was actually not a bad thing, especially like the kind of prom that greeted people with masks, and everyone sang a book of Liaozhai , Under the skin are old foxes who have been practicing for a long time.Gu Yunkai would have been quite interested in talking about it based on his ability and interests in the past, but right now he is obviously only thinking that he tied himself up with a thick leg, and this leg is thick enough for Gu Yunkai to be willful , he naturally doesn't care much about these energy-wasting banquets.
After all, everyone's purpose is the same. Through him climbing up to the one behind him, Gu Yunkai has time to drink and chat with them. It's better to play the piano with Jian Yuan at home and listen to him play the violin. Some people want to come to catch the heat, and some people want to be recommended by him.
If Gu Yunkai hadn't made this relationship public, the high-level attitude would still be polite and kind, but they would pay more attention to the benefits that Gu Yunkai himself could bring to them; It's just that it's Gu Yunkai himself that they're eyeing, not Jian Yuan or even Jian Mo behind Gu Yunkai.
It's not that Gu Yunkai is worthless, it's just that his value is so small and insignificant compared to Jian Yuan.
Although Gu Yunkai had expected such a scene long ago, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but it was still considered a TOEFL. After taking advantage of Jian Yuan's power, most of the invitations that were not interested in him would push back and find excuses to refuse. Now, he doesn't care whether his behavior will be criticized by others, after all, people will always face various choices, and whether they come and go with a group of people and smirk with Tai Chi or stay with Jian Yuan The family was in a daze to choose between the two, and Gu Yunkai chose the latter.
At least it wouldn't be a waste of life.
And these days, "The Pianist's Skylight" has received more and more attention. Not to mention, "The End of the World" has also begun to warm up, such as "Calvin will join hands with Feng Saburo to enter the chaotic end of the world", ""The End of the Day" sincerely invites Gu Yunkai personally experienced the zombie siege", "Gu Yunkai is about to join hands with Calvin Company" and other related news also began to appear on the homepage frequently.
And "The Pianist's Skylight" has been squeezed into the top three of the most watched movies in the summer vacation. The above two, one is a very famous series of movies "Collapsed Kingdom 4--The Return of the King", the second is quite A classic comic book adaptation of "The End of the Storm", "The Pianist's Skylight" steadily suppressed "Jurassic Rebirth" which was originally on the list.
Dinosaur themes are not considered mainstream, but there is a certain amount of attention, especially this time Dragon Pictures reopens related themes, which can be described as ambitious-speaking of it, Dragon Pictures is also a wonderful flower in the film industry, all of them The films focus on all kinds of grotesque monsters, from King Kong to dinosaurs, from pythons to great white sharks, and love all kinds of prehistoric creatures. It can be called the Animal Horror Association, and it is the result of many children's psychological shadows and childhood trauma. Source, the founder Dennis is affectionately called the director of the park by netizens, and almost none of the films under the company have anything to do with animals.
Over the years, not to mention being the number one, it can be regarded as unique, and there are still many fans. This time, it was overwhelmed by an independent small-produced literary film, and it also fell through the glasses of many people.
There have always been a lot of directors and producers in the entertainment circle who want to make series of films. After all, series of films will have the popularity of the previous film as accumulation and foreshadowing. Even if they fail, they will not fail too badly.However, there are only a small number of series of movies in the entertainment industry, and the series of movies that can stand out and become super popular are naturally very few series that have loyal fans to follow.
The "Collapsed Kingdom" series has been going on for 15 years, and it is released every five years. The audience joked that it takes five years to sharpen a sword. The first "Collapsed Kingdom-Rise of the Revenant" 15 years ago harvested ten Billion box office is a brilliant record in the history of film. Over the years, with the changes in finance and economy, there are not no movies with more than billions of dollars, but they are still very rare. It can be said that even if the current "Light Like Day" is comparable to it Compared with each other, it is just an equal share.
According to the predictions of many movie fans, as long as "The Collapsed Kingdom" continues to be so successful, it is likely to become the best-selling series of movies in history. All of them have stabilized at the box office of 40 to 15 billion, which can be called a miracle.
"The Pianist's Rooftop" hits the release of the "Collapsed Kingdom" series of movies, and I don't know whether it is good or bad. In a sense, even if it fails, there is a very suitable excuse...
After all, the opponent is so powerful.
After practicing arrows at home for a few days, Gu Yunkai's schedule bumped up, and the premiere of "The Pianist's Skylight" and Sangli's press conference for "The End Is Coming" rushed to the same date.Although the two belong to the same company, Smith's "The Pianist's Skylight" did not work hand in hand with Sang Li, but was filmed independently and found other investors, so the crew is also divided into two different groups. One, the selected time can not be changed by oneself.
This kind of situation is still relatively rare in the entertainment industry, but it is not impossible. After all, relevant dates such as the premiere and even the press conference will be notified in advance, and there is no way to change it temporarily. It can only be said to be very unfortunate.
After discussion, Gu Yunkai still chose to go to the press conference of "The End Is Coming", while Alisa took the lead in the premiere of "The Pianist's Skylight".
Gu Jianyue and Gu Yunkai had already expected that the media would gossip and report in the future, but after all, they were alone, and the press conference and premiere were in different cities. Splitting it into two halves and choosing the most beneficial one is of course the first choice of people.
At the press conference, Sangli talked eloquently, and Smith went to "The Pianist's Skylight", except that he was not present, and most of the crew members were present.For example, "Light Like Day" and "The Pianist's Skylight" are both hotly discussed movies recently, and Gu Yunkai has acted in them again. Naturally, Sang Li did not spare his saliva, and bragged about Gu Yunkai to the reporters. Hype.
It is a tacit joke in the industry that Smith shoots independent films, but "The End Is Coming" is a typical commercial film, which is Smith's strength. Therefore, when Sangli mentioned that Smith admires Gu Yunkai very much, many media reporters still quite surprised.Finally Sangley ended his talk, smiling and letting the media freely ask questions.
This is also a part of the press conference. Gu Yunkai has participated in many news interviews. After the premiere of "Light Like Day", there will be a press conference related to the characters. The reporters will ask all kinds of weird questions. Nothing could be more normal.However, this press conference was only to announce the launch of the project. Sang Li probably revealed the subject matter and investment, but did not reveal too much about the plot. Gu Yunkai only came here because the role of Lan was tailored for him. The reporters On the contrary, I asked him a lot of things related to the movie, most of which were classified as confidential, so Gu Yunkai cleverly moved over with Tai Chi.
On the contrary, a well-informed reporter asked Gu Yunkai a very tricky question: Is the absence of the premiere of "The Pianist's Skylight" because Mr. Gu himself is not optimistic about his own work.
The reporter is quite young, but it can be seen that he is very excited, and there is an uncontrollable complacency on his face, which is normal. Gu Yunkai has always been impeccable, and it is rare for him to embarrass Gu Yunkai. No matter how the other party answers, they can give full play to themselves It would be more interesting if Gu Yunkai answered incorrectly. Smith will still be the director of his next movie.
"I have worked with Mr. Smith once, and he is a very thoughtful and excellent director." Gu Yunkai thought for a moment, and then replied carefully, "I am honored to work with him again, so I sit here."
Sangli applauded secretly in his heart. In fact, Gu Yunkai replied as if he hadn't answered, but he cleverly avoided the topic of whether his absence meant he was not optimistic, and gave Smith a hand without any trace.After all, if you answer according to the reporter's train of thought, you will fall into the language trap designed by the other party. If you are optimistic, why will you be absent? If "The Pianist's Skylight" fails after it comes out, the media will definitely bring up the old story again.
If you don't like it... such a fool can't get into the entertainment circle.
They are both works of Smith, one is a literary film and the other is a commercial film, the meanings are quite different. It can be said that the reporter asked this question with malicious intentions.Gu Yunkai was also very clever, because he had worked with Smith once and was very happy to work with him again, so he sat at the press conference held when the project was launched.
It is no accident that Gu Yunkai can stand out in the circle.
The media on the second day was indeed as expected by the public relations. The media "truthfully" reported that Gu Yunkai was absent from "The Pianist's Skylight". Optimistic about the release of new works.
However, the text that I clicked on was Gu Yunkai’s same rhetoric from yesterday. The editor made a slight change and claimed: Gu Yunkai’s new work "The Pianist's Skylight" that has attracted much attention recently is about to be released in half a month, but as the leading actor However, Gu Yunkai was absent from the premiere due to the schedule, and only the heroine, Alyssa, was left alone.Director Smith has not responded positively so far. According to reports, Gu Yunkai's absence from the premiere of "The Pianist's Skylight" was to participate in the press conference of "The End Is Coming".
……
The report was rather ambiguous, avoiding the important and neglecting the important, implying that the vast majority of audience Gu Yunkai himself did not like the movie, and as for Gu Yunkai's answer in the interview, it was naturally understated and placed in an irrelevant place.The media is very familiar with the ability to manipulate words, and they like headlines that catch the attention of the public. When Gu Yunkai read the report the next day, there was only one thought in his mind: UC News Department really needs talents like you.
In addition, the reviews after the premiere of "The Pianist's Skylight" are also out.
The film critics were quite harsh, and they made this literary film useless. Gu Yunkai especially selected a few popular and influential film critics to watch.
""The Pianist's Skylight" will definitely win the Golden Raspberry Award for worst movie in May this year. The male protagonist and the promiscuous female protagonist do not know what the director wants to express throughout the whole process, and the story is so empty that people can't help but want Smith to go back to the commercial area."
"I like Gu Yunkai's Feng Sanlang very much, but Smith managed to destroy him."
"Smith's new work has refreshed my lower limit for a commercial director to make a bad film under independent production."
"I believe "The Pianist's Skylight" will become a classic among bad movies."
"The Pianist's Skylight redefines what it means to be bad."
……
It took Gu Yunkai a long time to find a few movie reviews that were more pertinent, or not too bad for this movie.
"Compared to the previous work directed by Smith, the quality of "The Pianist's Skylight" is obviously much better, including the expressiveness of the two leading actors. It is not easy to show such acting skills. The expression of the plot is too obscure but still complete. Although the logic is not strong, the characters of the two protagonists have not been fully utilized. It seems too mediocre and superficial. I can only say its quality What a waste of the expressive power of the two actors."
"If the director's name wasn't Smith, I believe that most of the peers would give a more fair evaluation. "The Pianist's Skylight" is quite mediocre, but if you want to say that it is so bad that it has never been done before or since, it is really too much to overestimate other films. level."
……
Gu Yunkai has mixed feelings, especially for what the last film critic said, and he feels a sense of fear from the bottom of his heart. Although he is in the circle, most of the films he pays attention to are successful ones, and he has never felt bad films. The power of the film critic can only be felt from a few numbers.
When Gu Yunkai was browsing the comments and media reports related to "The Pianist's Skylight" with great interest, his mobile phone rang suddenly. He leaned out and looked at the mobile phone on the bedside table. "Two words.
It's twelve o'clock in the noon now, and Jane is far away from the Federation. According to the time, it should be midnight.
Gu Yunkai couldn't help raising his eyebrows, wondering why Jian Yuan didn't sleep at this hour to call him, but thinking so, he pressed his hand to connect very honestly.
